Chapter 16 Abnormal Love
Chapter 16 Abnormal Love
This idea ignited the hope of the serious crime team.
Xu Yiqing immediately called Lin Sheng. Fortunately, the pile of bones was not thrown away or handed over to the family of the deceased as Li Yueyue's relics.
So Lin Sheng took the pile of bones to the Criminal Investigation Department to extract fingerprints. About half an hour later, Lin Sheng rushed to the serious crime team's office with exciting news.
He pushed open the door, holding the fingerprint comparison report in his hand, and was very excited: "We extracted incomplete fingerprints from the dog's skeleton, and after comparing them with Zhao Xiaomeng's fingerprints, they basically match!"
Du Yu immediately stood up and prepared to conduct a new round of interrogation on Li Yueyue.
Xu Yiqing was still listening outside the interrogation room. Du Yu slapped the photos of the skeleton and the report on the fingerprint comparison on the table with a serious expression: "Zhao Xiaomeng, why did you kill Li Yueyue?"
Zhao Xiaomeng was startled by the loud sound of the table being slammed, and she visibly shook.
But she still kept her head down and said nothing, trying to get away with it with this silence.
Unlike before, now that there is evidence, Du Yu is much more radical.
"Before the crime, surveillance cameras captured you staying near Huimin Garden. Your fingerprints were extracted from the dog bones left at the crime scene. Why do you still have to remain silent? Confess and you will be treated leniently, resist and you will be treated severely. The only thing you can do now is to strive for a reduced sentence!"
"I...I didn't kill her!"
"If you still refuse to admit your guilt despite irrefutable evidence, then we can only bring charges." Du Yu narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that you don't understand the current police investigation process. As long as the evidence is irrefutable, you can be sentenced even if you don't admit your guilt."
Zhao Xiaomeng stopped talking and began to sob quietly with her head down.
Du Yu appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, "If you tell me the truth now, I can help you get a reduced sentence. Otherwise, the maximum penalty for intentional homicide is death. You know this very well. You are still young, and your father is waiting for you at home... You are his only relative, can you bear to watch your father die before you?"
Although Zhao Qianyu is a petty and mercenary man, he is ultimately a law-abiding citizen.
The police do not use morality as a criterion when handling cases; everything is subject to the law.
So Du Yu actually began to sympathize with this middle-aged man whose wife ran away and whose daughter was now facing imprisonment.
Zhao Xiaomeng has been feeling uneasy ever since she entered the interrogation room. She is just an ordinary 24-year-old girl who has just graduated. She does not have strong psychological qualities and only the desire to escape supports her in lying.
Faced with irrefutable evidence and Du Yu's psychological attack, Zhao Xiaomeng was on the verge of collapse.
Xu Yiqing, who was listening in, took the dog's bones wrapped in an evidence bag and placed them on the interrogation table, saying, "My colleague said that the dog had been dead for at least forty days. You preserved its bones so well and even brought them to Li Yueyue's home. I guess it must have a very special meaning to you."
When Zhao Xiaomeng saw the pile of bones, the emotions that had been resisting for a long time finally collapsed.
"Wow! She deserves it, it's all because of her...it's all her fault! What did I do wrong?!"
She held her head and cried, cursing Li Yueyue for her life. After cursing enough, she regretted and said she shouldn't have done that. She said she didn't want to die yet. Now she regretted it and she was very scared.
So, amid her crying, Xu Yiqing and Du Yu learned a story called "Motive for Murder".
That was the hatred that happened more than forty days ago.
When Zhao Xiaomeng was very young, her mother couldn't stand Zhao Qianyu's domestic violence and laziness, so she ran away with a stranger who came to the village to work.
She was extremely disappointed with this family, but she ignored the harm that the conflicts between her parents would cause to their children.
As a result, Zhao Xiaomeng's incomplete childhood made her become withdrawn and psychologically dark.
Her father, Zhao Qianyu, was an uneducated and rough man. It was difficult for him to raise his daughter alone, let alone provide psychological counseling.
Coupled with her gambling addiction and lazy nature, Zhao Xiaomeng's psychological problems were never discovered, and Zhao Qianyu did not take it seriously.
He didn't care why Zhao Xiaomeng always kept her head down, why she always hunched over, why she panicked during her first menstrual period, why she resisted going to school, why no friends came to play with her, and he never heard his daughter mention anything about school. Zhao Xiaomeng, who had no friends since she was a child, chose to go to college in Jiangcheng according to her father's wishes after successfully passing the college entrance examination.
Zhao Xiaomeng thought that her boring and gray life would continue like this.
Fortunately, she made her first friend in life in college - her roommate who slept in the bed opposite her.
Friendship healed her briefly.
After several years of living together day and night, the two have become very close, and the roommates are also grateful for having a college friendship worth remembering.
But under the influence of Zhao Xiaomeng's twisted psychological problems, the friendship in her heart is developing unilaterally in an uncontrollable direction:
When Zhao Xiaomeng talked about her roommate, she was very excited and beaming...but the people in the serious crime squad found her words more and more strange.
The morbid possessiveness, blind worship and liking, and the self-proclaimed normal logic, when they came out of his mouth, made Xu Yiqing and Du Yu frown.
They seemed to see the enthusiasm of a fish that was almost dying of thirst for water. Zhao Xiaomeng, who had hardly felt love and friendship since childhood, was that fish.
"Extremely dangerous psychology."
"It's too sick and needs psychological treatment."
This was their later comments on Zhao Xiaomeng's relationship with her roommates.
Fortunately, Zhao Xiaomeng was timid and introverted. She did not dare to tell her roommates about her abnormal psychology and only used friendship to cover it up.
After graduating from university last year, Zhao Xiaomeng's roommates went their separate ways. However, Zhao Xiaomeng was forced to part with her friends because her father asked her to stay in the local area. She was heartbroken.
Unable to bear seeing Zhao Xiaomeng in tears, her roommate gave her a newborn Shar-Pei puppy as a graduation present, and agreed to go to the inland to find her once Zhao Xiaomeng had the financial ability to convince her father.
This pet dog is a witness to the four-year friendship.
However, in Zhao Xiaomeng's eyes, the dog represents much more than just friendship.
From then on, Zhao Xiaomeng treated the dog even more crazily than herself, and half of her monthly living expenses were spent on the dog.
But Zhao Xiaomeng was well aware of her father's hatred for dogs. Growing up in a single-parent family, she did not dare to disobey her father and could not even think of fighting for him.
So Zhao Xiaomeng could only keep the dog outside and take good care of it.
Hearing this, Xu Yiqing and Du Yu looked at each other and seemed to understand something.
I'm afraid that the extremely important dog that Zhao Xiaomeng mentioned is the one placed in the evidence bag on the interrogation table in front of you.
Now it can no longer be described as strips, after all, it is just a pile of bones.
Du Yu asked: "You have a grudge against Li Yueyue, is it because of this dog?"
Zhao Xiaomeng's originally crying expression turned fierce, and she gritted her teeth and said, "My dad is right, that bitch is just pretending to be nice, she is actually a vicious person! So I strangled her to death!"
At this moment, Zhao Xiaomeng no longer concealed the truth and admitted the crime in person.
But this sentence made Xu Yiqing and Du Yu stunned, and even the police officer who was taking notes heard something wrong.
Let’s not talk about why Zhao Xiaomeng thinks Li Yueyue is just pretending to be a nice person. The second half of the sentence alone has a big problem.
Several people looked at each other and confirmed their thoughts -
Zhao Xiaomeng didn’t know the real cause of Li Yueyue’s death...she thought Li Yueyue was strangled to death by her!
