Fifty-eight. May's testimony

Mei looked at me in surprise, apparently wondering if what I said was true or false. She sighed and said lightly: "What you said is right, I didn't plan to go back, for fear that Zhang Hao would find out." But when I went out, I was in too much of a hurry, so I had to take the risk of going back. Unexpectedly, it still revealed a flaw. So, you knew I was going to show up because of that, right? ”

"Because you love Zhang Hao, you will naturally pay attention to his every move. We're so often downstairs at your house that we're sure to leave you wondering. So, it makes sense that you'll show up. "I understated. The so-called concern is chaotic, isn't it? If she hadn't remembered Zhang Hao too much, she wouldn't have known that we had appeared.

After hearing what I said, Mei sighed, shook her head with a wry smile and said, "Okay, I've already appeared anyway, and I've thought about it, everything should be over." What more do you want to ask now? I've already said it, I killed people, there's nothing to ask, arrest me, right? I'm tired and don't want to go on like this. ”

A chill flashed through my heart. Her intentions couldn't be clearer, looking at her appearance, she was determined to admit the fact that she had killed someone. I nodded at her and said in a businesslike tone, "Okay then." Let's tell me how you killed Lin Lirou. ”

Mei's appearance was a little strange, and she hesitated for a moment before saying, "Don't you all already know?" I hate Lin Lirou because she is a dishonest woman. It's okay to flirt with many men, but I can't get along with Zhang Hao twice, so ...... I entered her house in the middle of the night that day and stabbed her to death with a knife while she was not in her own hands. ”

"What time did you go to Lin Lirou's house? What clothes do you wear when you go? This description is really simple, direct, and unobtrusive, but it also makes me curious, did she kill Lin Lirou with a knife? But Lin Lirou's direct cause of death was poisoning! She's lying! This reaffirms our previous speculation. However, instead of exposing her, I continued to ask, "Where did you put the dress you wore that day?" ”

Mei looked at me impatiently and asked repeatedly, "Isn't it just that I turned myself in and then confessed to my murder?" Why ask so clearly? What's the point? Wouldn't it be good to kill people as long as they pay for their lives? ”

"This is a necessary step in the investigation of the case, you think about it carefully, and it is better not to miss any details." I looked at her solemnly, and certainly didn't miss the change in the expression on her face.

That's panic? Or fear? Is it because after killing someone, do you become so uneasy? Mei blinked at me, but her expression fell into distant contemplation, and after a long while, she said softly: "I can't remember it clearly, you let me think about it." I haven't killed anyone, so ...... I don't want to think about that night again for the rest of my life......"

Mei closed her eyes and said after a while, "That night...... It was about 11 p.m., or later, and I went to look for her...... The two of us had a verbal altercation. Because we were afraid of being heard, we all kept our voices quiet. What she said was annoying, so I grabbed a knife from the table and stabbed her in the chest without seeing the place. I just watched her lie on the couch, motionless, so I ...... I was so scared that I left right away......"

"Are you sure that's all there is to it?" I asked, my brow furrowed. This is definitely not the truth, what is she hiding? And what was the reason why she turned herself in?

Mei looked at me in confusion, as if complaining, "I really can't remember exactly, maybe that's the case?" I can't really remember it. Because I've never killed anyone, I don't remember everything......"

"And what were you wearing that day? After killing Lin Lirou, where was the murder weapon placed, this should be able to tell, right? Her attitude made me realize that my conjecture was not wrong.

Mei frowned for a while, and said lightly: "I'm wearing a black outfit, because it's night, I can't dress so ostentatious, right?" What's so strange about that? The knife was stuck in her chest, and I was terrified, so I didn't bother with it and ran out of there. ”

"But isn't it strange that we didn't find your fingerprints in her room? Also, what about motivation? Can you give a reasonable explanation? According to our investigation, your relationship with Lin Lirou seems to be not bad. I said lightly, and from her hesitant eyes, and the dodging eyes, I further deepened the impression that I was lying.

Mei looked at me in surprise and said after a while, "Fingerprints? That's because I'm wearing gloves, right? Isn't that how it is played on TV? As long as you wear gloves, you won't leave any clues. Didn't I say that? She killed Zhang Hao twice, so I poisoned her, because I didn't want my husband to be in danger again. As for what you said, I know her very well, it seems natural, doesn't it? I'm too lonely to be alone, and I'm idle anyway, and it's not bad to be friends with her. ”

"Oh?" I glanced at her and continued to ask very seriously, "Okay then, since you said you fled the scene after you killed Lin Lirou, what about before that?" What did you both do, and why did you get into an argument? Also, why did you go to Lin Lirou so late? ”

"Any questions?" Mei glanced at me and said lightly, "Do you still need a reason to find someone?" It's still early anyway, so there's no surprise I'm going to find her, right? I wasn't a mother yet, so I went to her. At first we just planned where we were going to go the next day......"

"I'm asking for all the details, from the moment you walk in the door." I interrupted Mei and pressed on, she was indeed lying, but I wanted to know what kind of lie she could make up for this lie.

Mei frowned, glared at me, and said, "From the moment we walked in the door, the two of us said hello and then sat down on the couch. She sat right next to me, and the two of us talked for a while before we got into an argument......"

"What's she wearing?" I continued to ask, without any intention of relaxing the question.

Apparently this question made her very difficult, and she said after a while: "The light in her living room was too dim that day, and the time was too long, I don't remember very well, only that it was a light-colored pajamas......"
