42. Affection

Yan Yu took a glass of water, and she had to keep her composure. [Full text reading. Now she has to calm down, and now that she's chosen that path, she has to go to the end. She also knows that the best weapon against the police is to be careful, and use a woman's carefulness to circumvent the nets set by the police.

"Yan Yu, do you know how your husband Maddie died?" Soup began to ask.

Mei is recording, the "rustling" pen sounds like silkworms eating mulberry leaves.

"I heard that he jumped from the balcony and fell to his death."

"Did he jump off on his own?"

"Yes. It was a suicide, as evidenced by his own suicide note. In addition, after I came back from Shenyang, my colleagues in our company also said the same thing to me.

"When did you and Maddie get married?"

"Seven years ago."

"Are you happy in your family life after marriage?"

"Very happy."

"Is your husband in trouble with his business?"

"As far as I know, their company is doing well."

"So, why did your husband commit suicide?"

"What do you mean...... Is it asking my husband what motivates him to commit suicide?"

"You're smart."

Yan Yu didn't answer immediately.

She realizes that this is the net opened by the police, and if she answers that Maddie has no motive to commit suicide, then Tang will ask why he committed suicide without a motive? If she replies that Maddie has a motive to commit suicide, Tang will also ask what the motive is? Yan Yu was unwilling to answer these two questions. She decided to leave less space for the police that could be widened.

"I think," she said carefully, "we're going well." ”

There is no affirmation or denial.

"We? Did you factor yourself in Maddie's suicidal motives?"

"Of course, an unvirtuous wife will cause a lot of trouble for her husband."

"Are you Maddie's original wife?"

Yan Yu "clucked" in her heart, and Tang began to ask the topic. This is a sensitive topic, and Yan Yu can't hide it on this issue, because Maddie and his ex-wife Meixin were legally registered when they got married, and the police only need to go to the marriage registration office to find out.

"Maddie also has an ex-wife named Meixin."

"Maddie divorced Meixin?"

"No, Meixin is dead."

"How did you die?"

"Maddie told me after we got married. Meixin capsized and drowned. ”

"How did Maddie tell you that Mei Xin capsized and drowned?"

"He said it was an accident."

"Why didn't Maddie drown? Can he swim?"

Yan Yu was silent again.

Tang's greeting is very important: if she answers that Maddie can swim, she will find out the truth that Maddie deliberately did not save Meixin when the boat capsizes, indicating that she knew the truth back then; If she says that Maddie can't swim, it is difficult to explain logically why only one of the two fell into the water and survived? And, more importantly, no matter how she answered, it was likely that she herself had been the one who knew about the murder. In that case, things will be even more troublesome, and you will push yourself to cover up the crime.

"I heard that it seems that the capsized boat was very close to him at that time......" Yan Yu said cautiously.

"Listen to whom?"

"Maddie himself, and others also came to this conclusion, and the police from the reservoir police station in charge of the scene at the time seemed to say the same......"

"I was the police officer at the water police station at that time." Tang said.

"Really?" Yan Yu pretended to be surprised and looked at the soup. In fact, she already knew that Tang was a police officer from the Reservoir Water Police Station 7 years ago, and she listened to Maddie after an encounter with Tang on the way to the alpine ski resort with Maddie. I have to be more careful, she thought to herself.

Tang said to Yan Yu: "I won't tell you, I didn't agree with the conclusion of the accident at that time. Now, there are also those who disagree with that conclusion. ”

"Who?"

Tang gave Mei a look, and Mei took out two letters from her briefcase and handed them to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu took it, and before she could read the contents, she recognized them as two anonymous letters she had written to Maddie at a glance from the envelope. She immediately felt her head swell. However, on the surface* she remained calm, and after receiving the two anonymous letters, she pretended to read them, but in her heart she was thinking about how to deal with this unexpected event.

According to Yan Yu's original imagination, Maddie would definitely burn these two anonymous letters immediately after reading them, because it would be of no benefit to him to keep the anonymous letters with the secret words from 7 years ago. However, for some reason, the dead ghost Maddie kept these two anonymous letters, and what is even worse is that these two anonymous letters fell into the hands of the police, which is likely to provide clues for the police to find her.

"These are two anonymous letters." Yan Yu asked after reading it.

"It's two anonymous letters."

"Where did you get these two anonymous letters?"

"In the safe in Maddie's office."

"Who wrote it for him?"

"We want to ask you that question too. Who is this self-proclaimed 'reservoir witness'?"

"There won't be any witnesses, right?" Yan Yu came out smoothly.

May, who had been recording, interjected and asked, "What do you mean by that?" There will be no eyewitness logical reasoning, that is, there were only Meixin and Maddie at the scene of the accident at that time, and these two people are dead, so how did these two anonymous letters come out? Do you mean that there will be no witnesses, but there will probably be hearers?"

Yan Yu knew that she was speechless, so she had to try her best to defend herself: "I mean, if there were really eyewitnesses, why didn't you report it at that time?" And it's been delaying for 7 years?"

"That's because Maddie hasn't touched the writer's interests in the past seven years." "Now, this person is likely to have a conflict with Maddie over something," May said. That's why the old accounts are revisited. ”

Yan Yu felt that every word Mei said seemed to be directed at herself. She began to break out in a cold sweat.

At this time, Tang relieved her: "Please copy the contents of the two anonymous letters." Sorry, it's routine, please ...... with your left hand"

May handed over a piece of paper and a pen.

Yan Yu happily obeyed, she knew that the police wanted to check the handwriting, she was not afraid to check the handwriting, and let her copy it with her left and right hand, because she didn't write the two anonymous letters by hand at all. She wrote with a pen between her toes. For a while, she watched a crippled man with two arms writing with his feet on TV, so she curiously learned how to draw a gourd scoop, which even Maddie didn't know.

Yan Yu copied the two hidden letters with her left hand and handed them to Tang.

She saw a look of disappointment pass over Tang's face.

"Let's change the subject." Tang said: "During the time when your husband fell from the building and died, you happened to be on a business trip to Shenyang, right?"

"Yes, for the company."

"Is it a coincidence?"

"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you mean."

Or a two-way choice: Maddie chooses to die when you're not at home; Or your chance business trip created the opportunity and conditions for his death. See what I mean?"

"It's more confusing." Yan Yu shook her head and said.

In fact, Yan Yu was clear in her heart, and the police also expressed suspicion that she was on a business trip during Maddie's accident. The police are looking for some kind of inevitable connection between Maddie's death and her business trip, and use this inevitable connection to dig out what is hidden in her heart. But she is not afraid, it can be said that the problem of business trips is the strongest line of defense in Yan Yu's heart.

Tang didn't prompt any further, and asked again: "What day did you come back from a business trip?"

Yan Yu said the date.

"How can you confirm that you have been in Shenyang all along."

"Tickets, accommodation receipts can be confirmed......"

"Nope! Tang shook his head. "The bill can only prove that you have been to Shenyang, but it does not prove that you have stayed in Shenyang and have not returned to the city halfway...... Ever heard of the time difference?"

Yan Yu deliberately frowned, but she was laughing in her heart. She laughed at the police officer Tang has embarked on a fork in the road, which will lead the police investigation to a dead end. She's going to push the police down the dead end again.

"Of course I understand what time difference is, I've seen this word in some detectives, you mean, I went to Shenyang on a business trip, and I used a certain amount of time to rush back to the city to do something related to this case, oh, like sending two anonymous letters to Maddie...... And then rush back to Shenyang, giving people the illusion that I wasn't there when Maddie had an accident, right? Comrade policeman. ”

Tang nodded: "You have a high IQ. ”

"Thank you."

"Who can confirm that you never came back when you were in Shenyang?"

"Three colleagues on a business trip together." Yan Yu is very willing to answer this question, she is eager to see the police rambling in her misunderstanding.

"If you want to find witnesses, you can also check the switchboard service team of the White Crane Hotel, and she can confirm that Maddie once called my room."

"We'll check the ......"

"Also, Manager Xu of our company can also confirm it for me."

"Manager Xu is on a business trip with you?"

"Nope."

"Then how can he confirm it for you?"

"If I come back during a business trip, I always have to tell the unit leader."

"If you didn't want to tell him, would he still know?"

"This ......" Yan Yu realized that she had made a mistake in what she said.

But she immediately turned to offense and asked, "Do you suspect that I have anything to do with Maddie's suicide?" Suspect that the wife killed her husband?"

"The police suspect everything before closing the case," Tong said. ”

Yan Yu didn't speak, but she was saying in her heart: If you are willing to doubt it, you can doubt it, anyway, you have no evidence.

"I'll ask you one more question." Tang said: "Yan Yu, do you remember that we met at the alpine ski resort a few days ago?"

Yan Yu nodded.

"It seems like it's on the road, you're going to overtake, Maddie pressed ......"

"You have such a good memory...... What did Maddie say to you at the time?"

Yan Yu sank for a moment, this is another net opened by the police. She weighed Tang's question, could she answer truthfully? Maddie said to her at the time: "This policeman is the police officer from the water police station who handled Meixin's drowning case back then", if she told the truth what Maddie said at the time, she would have known about Maddie's murder of Meixin, which is taboo for her. So, she didn't answer truthfully.

Maddie didn't say anything at the time.

Tang didn't delve into the issue, but continued.

"Do you remember the accident on chair 14 the next morning?"

"Of course I can."

"You and Maddie seemed to be in chair 16 behind chair 14 at the time of the accident?"

"Yes."

"Do you have any special feelings about this accident?"

Yan Yu was silent again. On the surface, she seemed to be following Tang's prompts to recall the "special feelings" at that time, but in fact, she was in her heart. Because she had already thought about this on the night of the accident at the ski resort*, it was this thinking that led her to conclude that Maddie was going to murder her, and thus made a plan to take revenge on Maddie. This is Yan Yu's "special feeling" about the ropeway accident, but now she can't directly tell the police about her "special feeling", and she can't say that she has seen that the accident was an attempted murder planned by Maddie against her, because in this way, the police will further ask "Why did Maddie kill you"? The police will find out her hatred for Maddie and find out her motive for murdering Maddie.

"I don't have any special feelings." Yan Yu replied: "I just feel scared, really scared." ”

She saw a hint of disappointment on Tang's face.

"Is there anything else you want to say to us?" Tang asked.

"Nope."

"Please sign the transcript of the interrogation." Mei pushed a few pieces of paper full of words to Yan Yu.

Yan Yu read the interrogation transcript and then signed.

Mei asked her to press her handprint at the signing place, and Yan Yu complied. Looking at the handprint as bright red as a mulberry date, Yan Yu knew that the inquiry was about to end. At that time, Yan Yu had already seen a fact, and she won the first round with the police*.

Yan Yu had a joy in her heart after winning the bet, she finally succeeded in dealing with the police's interrogation, she saved herself, and led the police into a misunderstanding.

She said in her heart: Let them toss in the misunderstanding! Maddie is the definition of suicide, and no one can be thorough*.

Coming out of the Public Security Bureau, the sun was shining outside, and the bell on the nearby insurance building rang loudly, as if shaking the sunlight to tremble. It's close to the Spring Festival, there are a lot of people on the road, a lot of cars, a lot of temporary stalls selling New Year's goods, selling couplets, firecrackers, fruits, wine and snacks, people suddenly become more busy.

A red "taxi" came from behind and stopped beside her, and she waved the "taxi" away. Yan Yu didn't want to go home immediately, she wanted to walk outside, just now she let the smell of the soup smoke and Mei's cosmetics smell smoke a headache - no, in fact, she had a headache because she was nervous, she wanted the cool breeze outside to blow her hot head. Calm down and reflect on whether there are any loopholes in answering the policeman's question just now.

A woman's delicacy also lies in chewing afterwards.

Yan Yu felt that the policeman's sense of smell was still sensitive, and it was clear that there was a suicide scene, but he smelled the smell of murder, and immediately pointed the finger of suspicion at her. This made Yan Yu's heart tremble. Yan Yu is not legally blind, she knows in her heart that if things really leak, the police can arrest her at any time on three charges:

First, the crime of complicity. If the police knew that she had a warm relationship with Maddie long before her death, they would have speculated that she and Maddie had conspired to kill Meixin in order to achieve the goal of becoming a long-term couple.

In that case, legally speaking, she is Maddie's accomplice, and she should be legally responsible for Meixin's death. However, Yan Yu is not worried about the crime of complicity, because no one knows that she had that kind of warm relationship with Maddie before Meixin's death, and she knows that the party to this relationship, Maddie, is dead. Maddie didn't really discuss the murder plan with her before killing her, and only proudly told her after the murder was successful, and it scared her enough at the time, and it was that love* that made her overcome her fear. Therefore, Yan Yu is confident that she cannot constitute an accomplice crime.

Second, the crime of cover-up. If the police knew that she knew about Maddie's murder of Meixin 7 years ago, and she had not reported it for 7 years, she would definitely be convicted of harboring. Yan Yu is most worried about this, because in fact, this kind of crime is established.
