CHAPTER XXIV
Sun Xiaotong gave me a lot of confidence, we cleaned the burned storefront, bought new fabrics, and everything was gradually recovering.
The neighbors knew what I was going through, and they came to the store to make clothesβeveryone had compassion and an instinctive aversion to the rich.
"This Wei Ran is really crazy, it's crazy, this kind of thing can be done." Wang Xia frowned.
Chu Fatzi said: "Xiao Wu, I told you a long time ago that people like Wei Ran are not easy to mess with, but you don't listen." β
Wang Xia interrupted him: "What's the use of talking about this now, it's already been provoked anyway." When the police caught him, he had to pay. β
Chu Fatzi said regretfully: "What the hell does Wei Ran think, this kind of stupid thing has been done." β
Sun Xiaotong hit the nail on the head and said: "Do you think it's a pity that Wei Ran didn't buy your house?" β
"Why, I didn't think so." Chu Fatzi hurriedly denied it.
I came home exhausted, lay on the bed, looked at the red cheongsam hanging on the wall, and felt very lucky, at least the red cheongsam was safe, which was a blessing in misfortune.
I know that the store has been burned down, what will she say to me? I didn't want to think about it, I fell asleep, and when I woke up, I had to face my life.
Life has to go on, but the danger never stops, especially when I heard the result of Zheng Ming's interrogation of Wei Ran, I was even more shocked.
The next day, Zheng Ming came to me, he looked tired and depressed, probably not going well.
"This guy is really good at acting, and he won't admit that he set fire. We asked him why he was on the highway, and he said he didn't know. Zheng Ming smoked a cigarette and said hatefully.
"If every criminal confesses so easily, your police job will be much easier." I say.
Zheng Ming was puzzled: "What makes me a little puzzled is that we have taken some measures against Wei Ran, but he still doesn't recognize it. I don't think it's in line with his character, as if he really didn't do it. β
I couldn't help but sneer: "So, Wei Ran is still a hard bone?" β
"I just don't think it's that simple, even if he wants to deal with you, he won't come and set fire to it himself." Zheng Ming looked at me and said.
I nodded: "You think the same as me, I was angry at the time, and I thought it was Wei Ran who did it." Later, after thinking about it carefully, I felt that things were full of weirdness. β
"It is clear on the surveillance footage that it is useless for him to deny it. What's more, he can't provide an alibi, who can he be if it's not him? Zheng Ming said.
After some consideration, I told Zheng Ming my thoughts: "Can you let me meet Wei Ran?" β
Zheng Ming was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a moment and said, "You have to control your emotions, don't be impulsive." β
I smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not as stupid as him." β
I followed Zheng Ming to the Public Security Bureau and met Wei Ran. As soon as Wei Ran saw me, he became emotional: "The surname is Wu, when am I going to burn your shop, you tell me clearly, don't spew blood!" β
"What are you screaming nonsense, do you know what crime you have committed, don't you want to be lenient?!" Zheng Ming blocked him back with a word.
Wei Ran was like a frosted eggplant, dejected, and his expression was sluggish, completely like a different person.
"Do you know that your fire destroyed my tailor's shop. The store I managed to run with great difficulty was burned down by you, you say, the two of us, who should be more angry? I asked him.
Wei Ran said with a painful expression: "Wu Lu, I really didn't set the fire, I was wronged." β
Zheng Ming asked coldly: "Oh, the person in the surveillance video is not you?" Where did you go between one and two in the morning? β
Wei Ran grabbed his hair, and then patted his head vigorously: "I can't remember, I can't remember anything, I forgot what I was doing last night, I don't know what I did, I don't even know why I drove to the highway." β
"Hehe, you can perfunctory a sentence without knowing? Do you want me to find a doctor and give you an assessment of whether you are mentally ill? Zheng Ming asked sharply.
Wei Ran panicked: "I know you don't believe it, but what I said is the truth." β
I asked him, "Who was the last person you saw when you were conscious?" β
Wei Ran began to frown again and think seriously, he immediately widened his eyes and said, "I remember, it's a man about my age, who I saw downstairs from you." β
"What are you doing downstairs with us?" I asked.
"It's not that fat man yet, he has to pester me to buy his house. I promised to take a look, and I met the man downstairs. When I came to my senses again, I realized that I was already at the toll booth. Wei Ran's tone was aggrieved.
I continued, "What kind of man was that, how tall was that, what clothes were he wearing, and what did he say to you?" β
"He is not tall, he wears tasteful clothes, and his family must be in good condition. I can draw him for you, and I'm afraid I can't tell you what he looks like. Wei Ran said.
Wei Ran also told us that the man took the initiative to greet him, saying that his name was Jiang Zhendong, and he also started a company and the like, and there was a chance to cooperate, etc.
Zheng Ming brought a pen and paper and asked Wei Ran to draw the man he saw, and then compare it in the database, hoping to find the man.
However, Zheng Ming's face became more solemn after finding out the identity of the other party. His attitude towards Wei Ran was also even worse, and his voice raised an octave: "You kid dares to play tricks on me, do you know that you are drawing a dead man!" β
Wei Ran's face suddenly turned pale, and he explained with a sad face: "I, I don't know." β
"Zheng Ming, what's going on?" I asked him.
Zheng Ming calmed down his emotions: "We found this man named Jiang Zhendong, and after comparing his appearance, we found that he died a long time ago. β
"How did he die?" I asked.
"Jiang Zhendong was killed by his half-brother for the inheritance of their family company." When Zheng Ming said this, he lowered his voice: "The place where he died is the seventh floor of your building. β
My body trembled, and Wei Ran broke out in a cold sweat, unable to speak. He saw Jiang Zhendong's ghost, so it was very likely that he was controlled by Jiang Zhendong.
Jiang Zhendong's purpose in controlling him is still to deal with me. This kind of thing is the same as Zhou Ping trying to kill me, we have no grudges and no hatred, they still want to put me to death, but because I blocked someone's way of wealth.
"I believe that Wei Ran didn't do it, he was just being used." I say.
Zheng Ming and Wei Ran looked at me in surprise at the same time, and Wei Ran's eyes were still a little grateful......
