Chapter 62: She's Not a Murderer
I guess Zhang Feng must know the inside story. Watching the two policemen walk out of the house, he couldn't wait to ask Zhang Feng, is Luo Shicheng in trouble?
But Zhang Feng didn't go as I wanted. He just politely said that when such a large company encounters something, it is commonplace, and there is nothing to worry about.
No one, it seems, will tell me, what exactly is going on behind the faΓ§ade? Luo Shicheng won't tell me either. He would never mention the company to me. When he was with me, he only had fireworks in the world. I can't go into his world. My world is under his control.
The sharp blade inserted into Ma Chu's abdomen was found by the police to have the fingerprints of Ma Chu and Gu Ya. It seems that the case is about to surface, but the police said that they will continue to collect sufficient evidence. I was still not ruled out of suspicion, and the police told me that I would not be allowed to leave the area in the near future without permission from the police.
Gu Ya used Ma Chu's mobile phone to call me that evening and trick me into the scene of the crime? Afterwards, she flatly denied that she had called me, leaving me dead without proof. If Ma Chu's clinic had been equipped with a camera, would it have greatly accelerated the detection of the case? Unfortunately, there is not a single camera in the clinic. My alibi at the time of the crime is now also being questioned by the police, and I am still at a loss for words.
Gu Ya is Luo Shicheng's subordinate, she treats me like this, doesn't she have any scruples about Luo Shicheng? If she hadn't been forced to do so, I believe she wouldn't have taken the liberty of doing so. She doesn't look like a scheming person, maybe she has her own troubles. There is another possibility, that is, she wants to protect Luo Shicheng, so she can only sacrifice me. She said that she loves Luo Shicheng, so she won't hurt me, just because I am the person Luo Shicheng loves deeply.
Zhang Xun called at noon. He said that the media's sense of smell is really sensitive, and he heard from nowhere that the hostess of the "Worry Relief Mailbox" was related to the death of Ma Chu. The media also got the news that I, the host of the psychological column, is really named Bai Bing, and my husband is the legendary business predator. Zhang Xun asked me, would you like to be interviewed by the media? If I didn't want to, he would have turned back the media on my behalf.
I thought about it for a while and said to Zhang Xun: "At four o'clock this afternoon, I can go to the psychological counseling room for an interview." Whether it's an interview from a TV station or a newspaper, I don't refuse to come! "I think it's time to step up and not just hide in the shadows.
Zhang Xun asked me in surprise, "Have you figured it out?" If you are exposed like this, your life will definitely be affected in the future. Also, have you gotten Luo Shicheng's consent? Does he agree with you showing up at a time like this? β
I sighed and said, "I think I can make my own decisions." Luo Shicheng's current situation does not seem to be easy. β
Zhang Xun and I briefly ate a few bites on the phone, and the tension was not relieved. I'm going to go to the shop outside my house to take a break and get some out of my mood. I said hello to Zhang Feng, picked up my backpack and walked out the door.
Zhang Feng chased him out. "Sister-in-law, I'll come with you, eldest brother, he asked me to take care of you and ensure your safety."
I turned around and smiled disappreciatively. "I'm not an important person, what danger will there be, is it possible that someone will assassinate me? You don't have to follow me, I want to go to the neighborhood shop by myself, and I won't go far. β
Zhang Feng opened his mouth, but finally didn't say anything, and watched helplessly as I walked out of the door.
I came to the self-service video store on Shicheng Road. Pushing open the door and entering, there was not a single waiter inside, and the dim light seemed a little weird. Rows and rows of audio and video stands, row upon row. In the middle aisle, there is an audio-visual device. I picked a disc of Paganini's violin, loaded it into the audition machine, snapped the black headphones to my ear, and pressed the broadcast button.
The beautiful and delicate melody spreads in the ears, and the soul gradually becomes loose and elegant. The dust and mundane things gradually faded in my mind, and the vast blue sea was in front of me. Flocks of seagulls, chirping one after another, flapping their wings, hovering freely between heaven and earth. When you look up and open your eyes, you will find a wonderful paradise, with large white and soft clouds, crystal clear and jade.
Paganini's strings, full of terrifying magic, can firmly tug at your nerve endings. Your heartbeat, your breathing, will become tight and loose with the rhythm of the strings. Suddenly, the strings seemed to wrap around my neck, making it difficult for me to breathe. My heart was pounding, and I felt like it was about to pop out of my chest. In front of him was Ma Chu's blood-drenched body, and he stared at me helplessly with a pair of gray eyes.
I let out a scream and immediately turned off the music, feeling someone standing behind me.
"Bai Bing, I'm Gu Ya. I've been here for a long time. A tactful and sexy female voice came from behind him.
I looked back in horror and saw a graceful figure. The flickering light shone on her charming face, and her skin was bluish-white, almost transparent. The woman in front of me was smiling at me, and I could see her veins lurking beneath her skin. Everything I saw here, with a dreamy color, felt extremely unreal.
"Bai Bing, do you hate me in your heart? I framed you and wanted to put you to death. Gu Ya took out a thin cigar from her bag and put it between her red lips. She took out a golden lighter again, and with a "snap", lit a thin flame and lit the cigarette.
I looked at Gu Ya puzzled, as if examining a difficult problem. "Gu Ya, why did you do that? You have no reason to frame me, and you don't seem like such a scheming person. Ma Chu, did you kill it? β
"If I told you that Ma Chu was not killed by me, would you believe it?"
"The police said that on the handle of the knife inserted into Ma Chu's abdomen, there were your fingerprints. Did you really kill him? β
"That afternoon, Ma Chu asked me to use that knife to cut the watermelon, while he was busy receiving the sick number."
"And then?"
"Then, we had an argument, of course with just the two of us. I asked him to give up slandering Luo Shicheng. But when he mentioned Luo Shicheng, he was very angry. He said that even if the fish dies and the net is broken, he will send Luo Shicheng to prison! He also said that he had evidence that Mr. Luo had wounded people with a gun and would soon receive witnesses. β
"So, you γγγγγγ"
"No, things aren't as you think. He is to blame. We talked about the child we were once pregnant. I was very emotional, and I said that if Marcuken had married me at that time, the tragedy that would have happened would not have happened. But he said that everything was caused by Luo Shicheng, and if I didn't jump off the building that night, the child wouldn't be saved. I was so excited that I almost lost my mind, took the knife, and stabbed Ma Chu! I scolded him for being despicable and dirty, and he couldn't catch up with Luo Shicheng until he died! β
"That's it, you assassinated Ma Chu and died on the spot?" My body trembled uncontrollably.
"Nope. He reached out and grabbed my wrist and shouted frantically, saying that he was sorry for me, sorry for the child. He said that he would rather die in front of me than have to do it himself. So, he took the knife himself and stabbed it in the abdomen. At the last moment, he struggled to wipe the handle of the knife with the corner of his clothes, telling me to live well! β
"Why didn't you call the emergency number? Perhaps, he can be rescued. β
"I feel that death is a relief for him, so I want to fulfill him. Perhaps, I hate him in my heart and wish him dead. The time I jumped off the building, Ma Chu pushed me down. He was also living in that apartment, quietly tucked away on the balcony of my house. That night, after arguing with Luo Shicheng, I was exhausted, thinking of the child in my womb that no one wanted, and I couldn't help but die. I was devastated, but I hadn't made up my mind yet. I climbed onto the balcony and looked at the dark ground, filled with fear. Just when I wanted to come down, Ma Chu suddenly appeared and pushed me down hard! β
"But Ma Chu said that it was Luo Shicheng who killed you."
"No, Luo Shicheng has never hurt me. He is a very responsible man, not a womanizer. Not all women have the opportunity to get close to him. β
"Gu Ya, why did you use Ma Chu's mobile phone to call me that day and trick me over?"
"I was flustered. Although in the end, it was Ma Chu himself who held the knife and stabbed him in the abdomen, but my hand was also on the hilt at that time. So, I still feel like I killed him. Maybe my heart is jealous of you. Perhaps, I thought you were an amnesiac patient, and even if you became a suspect, the police would have nothing to do with you. Besides, I think you are the person Luo Shicheng cares about the most, and he will always have a way to save you. Anyway, a lot of bastard thoughts crossed my head at the time. β
"The door of the Machu Clinic, did you lock it? That rear window, which was also opened when you fled? β
"Well, yes. I stayed by Ma Chu's side and watched him take his last breath before I called you. Then I remembered that the door to the clinic was not locked. I immediately ran out, locked the door from the inside, and opened the rear window. In my hurry, I didn't forget to dispose of the fingerprints left behind. As a result, the police did not find my fingerprints on the door or back window of the clinic. Only the handle of the knife held by Ma Chu left my fingerprints. β
"Didn't you just say that Ma Chu wiped the handle of the knife with the corner of his clothes when he was dying?"
"Well, yes, I saw him lift the corners of his white coat and struggle to wipe the hilt of his knife. I was grateful to him at the time, knowing that he was the evidence for me to eliminate the crime. Thinking about it today, he didn't want to save me, but to fight me to death! He left a few fingerprints on the hilt of the knife, wasn't it just to remind the police that I was the real murderer? The police were suspicious of me and tried to erase my fingerprints after the killing. β
"Gu Ya, you might as well turn yourself in and tell the police all the truth. Because, you didn't kill Ma Chu, he committed suicide. Trust the police and they will do you justice. β
Gu Ya crushed the unfinished cigar in her hand and threw it into the white glass ashtray. "I'll go to the police station in a moment and tell them all the truth. Although I am jealous of you in my heart, if you are really dragged into this case, I will still be unbearable. In addition, Luo Shicheng was sued by a colleague a few days ago, saying that he was involved in gangsters, murder with guns, arson, and did everything. Moreover, I heard that the other party also found a witness. If something happens to you at this point, I'm really worried he's going to have a nervous breakdown. β
"Gu Ya, so you decided to tell the truth to the police for the sake of Luo Shicheng? Can you do anything for Luo Shicheng? β
"I don't know. Anyway, I hope he's always safe. Bai Bing, I'm sorry, I almost put you in the position of a murderer this time. β
I very much want to say that it doesn't matter. However, in the end, it was not spoken. I stood up, smiled at her, said I had other things to do in the afternoon, and walked out the door. My mind was extremely nervous, wondering what to do with the media in the afternoon.
