58: Li Qingyan burst into tears, Husband, I thought you didn't want me anymore

“Meifang, what a sin!”

“How did I give birth to such a bunch of beasts, each one coveting my property? Won’t they get their wish after I die?”

“…………”

Old Lady Ye Qian’s weeping wasn’t very loud, but at this moment, it suddenly landed like a bomb on flat ground.

The atmosphere instantly quieted down.

All the Criminal Police in the villa yard looked at the maid Jiang Meifang in unison.

Old Lady Ye Qian was still clutching Jiang Meifang tightly, as if she had met a truly close relative.

Jiang Meifang noticed that the Criminal Police, including Liu Wenzhong, were all looking at her with vigilant, scrutinizing eyes, and she instantly turned pale with fright, her body trembling.

“Oh no, Elder Sister Ye, don’t scare me!”

“Officer, listen to me, I don’t covet the old lady’s inheritance.”

“Please believe me, I really don’t covet the old lady’s inheritance, and I certainly didn’t kill anyone. I just usually take care of the old lady a lot, and she only remembers me…”

Seeing Jiang Meifang’s anxious, almost tearful expression, Liu Wenzhong took a deep breath and waved his hand to reassure her:

“Elder Sister Jiang, don’t be nervous. Our Police always handle cases according to evidence and won’t easily suspect you.”

“I just want to ask, is Old Lady Ye Qian’s symptom of only remembering you very common? Does she not even remember her own children?”

“Not very common!”

Jiang Meifang’s complexion eased slightly, and she said:

“Elder Sister Ye suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Her mind has always been unclear, and she rarely speaks. Most of the time, she drools like a baby, or runs around aimlessly, or picks up things randomly.”

“That’s why her son, daughter, grandson, and granddaughter all dislike her and often lock her in her room, not letting her go out.

Normally, she is taken care of by me and Mr. Feng Changlin’s wife, Liu Ping.

I take care of her more, Ms. Liu less. She has also said those words to Ms. Liu Ping.”

“Old Lady Ye Qian suffers from Alzheimer’s disease, so why doesn’t Feng Changlin send his mother, Ye Qian, to a professional nursing home?”

Gao Ze looked at this villa. Being able to buy a three-story detached villa in Donghai City naturally means they wouldn’t be short on money.

Liu Wenzhong nodded, realizing the abnormality of the situation.

Alzheimer’s patients, whose minds are unclear, are very difficult for ordinary people to care for. Sending them to a professional nursing home or elderly care facility is the best option.

Moreover, Feng Changlin dislikes this mother so much, out of sight, out of mind, he should have sent Old Lady Ye Qian away even more.

“I’m not clear about the specific reasons. As a maid, how would I dare to inquire about such things?”

Jiang Meifang shook her head and said, “But I estimate it might still be because the old lady has money and an inheritance.”

“Inheritance? How was the family relationship of the victim Feng Changlin’s family?”

Gao Ze thought of the special family member, Feng Yu, and continued to ask, “Also, Feng Changlin’s older sister, Feng Yu, do you know this woman?”

“Mr. Feng’s family, their relationships are quite cold.”

Jiang Meifang said, “I don’t know if Mr. Feng had an affair, but Feng Changlin and Ms. Liu Ping’s relationship is very strained.”

“Their two children, the elder, Feng Yushuang, has excellent academic results and can play piano and many other talents, but she might be in puberty, rebellious in character, and doesn’t listen to her parents much.”

“The younger one, just over ten years old, is spoiled by Mr. Feng and is completely out of control, constantly wanting to play games.

If anything doesn’t go his way, he’ll whine and shout. The elder Feng Yushuang and Ms. Liu Ping can’t stand it, but they can’t control him either.”

“I’ve met Mr. Feng’s older sister, Ms. Feng Yu, very few times. Every time I saw her, she would argue with Mr. Feng, saying something about him not being worthy of the surname Feng.”

“Not worthy of the surname Feng?”

Gao Ze narrowed his eyes, some conjectures forming in his mind.

“Brother Gao, any new discoveries?”

Watching Gao Ze’s expression, Liu Wenzhong asked.

Gao Ze shook his head: “No new clues for now.”

He indeed hadn’t found any new clues.

Even when Old Lady Ye Qian just said she would give the inheritance to the maid Jiang Meifang, he didn’t feel suspicious.

Because judging from the wounds in the autopsy results, the killer was most likely a male.

Not a female!

Gao Ze trusted the evidence he personally obtained from the autopsy.

The maid Jiang Meifang, and even Feng Yu, who hadn’t appeared, should only be connected to the case, not the killer.

Just at this moment.

Several other Criminal Police walked into the yard, holding laptops, and said to Team Leader Liu:

“Team Leader Liu, we just went to the property management and retrieved the surveillance footage from around 4:30 PM surrounding the victim Feng Changlin’s detached villa.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Wenzhong’s eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, “Any discoveries?”

“No discoveries. During that time period, no one was coming or going around the villa, and no suspicious individuals were found.”

The Criminal Police handed the laptop to Team Leader Liu, “Team Leader Liu, you can take a look.”

Gao Ze stood behind Liu Wenzhong, his gaze also fixed on the surveillance footage displayed on the laptop.

He repeatedly watched the footage frame by frame for over twenty minutes.

He had to admit, the Criminal Police’s judgment was correct.

Around 4:30 PM, very few people came and went around Feng Changlin’s detached villa in the surveillance footage. Even if someone appeared, they were just passing by and leaving the community, never reappearing.

They were not suspicious individuals.

What exactly was going on?

Even the surveillance didn’t capture any suspicious criminals?

Gao Ze frowned slightly. Was the killer so clear about the blind spots in the surveillance around Feng Changlin’s villa?

“I’m really impressed by this killer.”

After watching the surveillance and finding nothing, Liu Wenzhong couldn’t help but curse.

“Such high vigilance in killing, and anti-reconnaissance awareness, not even a tiny shadow was captured by surveillance, but I refuse to believe it, I still won’t catch you!”

After venting his anger, the case still needed to be investigated.

Liu Wenzhong sighed and told Gao Ze to go home first and wait for the Huangpu District Criminal Investigation Brigade to investigate Feng Yu.

Gao Ze did not refuse.

This case was not simple; there were many unsolved mysteries, and the killer had no leads. It was better to go back and organize his thoughts first.

He could also wait for system intelligence.

Perhaps clues about the killer would appear.

This was a major case. Although it was being investigated by the Huangpu District Police, the credit that should be taken still had to be taken without hesitation.

“Xiao Sheng, it’s getting late, let’s go home first.”

Gao Ze walked out of the villa courtyard and saw his younger brother, Gao Sheng, still standing under the streetlamp waiting, and the girl Zhao Xinyu was also waiting, not having left.

She even used this time to touch up her makeup, her lip color and eyeshadow brightened, making her look more captivating.

“Mr. Gao, you probably haven’t eaten yet, why don’t we have a simple meal together?”

Seeing Gao Ze appear, Zhao Xinyu smiled charmingly, her attitude warm, and even her gaze towards Gao Sheng carried a hint of politeness.

“Miss Zhao, no need to be so polite.”

Gao Ze politely declined the invitation, clearly understanding the reason for Zhao Xinyu’s change in attitude.

She was probably interested in him after hearing that he had solved the case of the billionaire Zheng Jiasheng and earned the respect of a Criminal Police Brigade Captain like Liu Wenzhong.

“Mr. Gao, just have a meal together, no business talk.”

“Besides, today you rented my house in Lanwan Community, we are very fated, aren’t we~”

Zhao Xinyu stayed by Gao Ze’s side, not leaving even as they were about to exit the community, her body occasionally leaning towards Gao Ze, with a faint scent of perfume wafting from her.

Gao Ze had a bit of a headache.

He didn’t know how to refuse.

Zhao Xinyu was clearly a businesswoman; her thick skin was extraordinary, and she was very clingy.

But just then.

Gao Ze heard a commotion at the entrance of Xiangxie Li Community, and looking up, he found a familiar, stunning figure at the center of the crowd.

She was wearing a long white dress, her skin as fair as snow, her temperament bright and lovely, and a cool pair of square-framed sunglasses on her delicate face.

But even with sunglasses, Gao Ze could recognize the girl.

It was his wife, Li Qingyan.

Why would Li Qingyan be here?

As he was pondering.

Li Qingyan also noticed him, a slight smile appeared on her exquisite face, she took off her sunglasses, and with her straight, long legs, she ran towards him, ignoring the security guards blocking the community entrance with caution tape.

“Ah!”

While dodging the security guard, Li Qingyan tilted her body slightly, seemingly spraining her ankle, and a hint of pain appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Gao Ze quickly rushed over, pushing away the security guard who was trying to help Li Qingyan, taking her arm, and supporting her falling body.

“You knew I was here, and you still came to me?”

Gao Ze swore that this sentence had no hint of accusation, just pure curiosity.

But crystal-clear tears still fell like pearls from Li Qingyan’s eyes.

“I couldn’t get through to you on the phone~”

“Husband, I thought you didn’t want me anymore.”
