Chapter 5 Urgent Diary
Taking over a case that has been closed by the police is not a wise choice for Wei Zhongwen, and the contest of forces of many parties is likely to result in a lose-lose situation.
But seeing that the person in front of him was so persistent, Wei Zhongwen suddenly felt a little unbearable, maybe it would not be too late to refuse after listening to the other party.
"In that case, you might as well talk about your evidence." Wei Zhongwen said, picked up the coffee in front of him, took a sip, and the cold coffee actually added a little bitterness to it for no reason.
"I know that the police are based on evidence, and they will definitely not close the case casually, but what if the truth of the matter is not what they know?" Tang Yuran said, her tone was very serious, she looked at Wei Zhongwen as she spoke, as if she hoped that the other party could give her a satisfactory answer.
"You mean, what the police have is nothing more than the truth that the murderer wants them to see, is that what you mean?" Wei Zhongwen replied without answering a rhetorical question.
"That's right, every murderer is cunning, and I believe that what the police see is nothing more than an illusion carefully created by the murderer."
"Is there any basis for that?" Wei Zhongwen said, he couldn't help frowning, this situation is not impossible.
Not every criminal can be brought to justice, especially those who are extremely cunning.
"I don't know what clues the police got during their investigation, but I know for sure that there is one thing that they must have overlooked."
"What do you mean?" Wei Zhongwen didn't understand what the other party was referring to.
"I have checked, and in all the reports about Ziqing's suicide, it is written that Ziqing committed suicide by cutting her wrists, because the rescue was not timely and she died of excessive blood loss. But they all ignore one point, which is that Ziqing is a left-hander. Tang Yuran said, his tone full of sadness.
"Left-handed?" Wei Zhongwen repeated it inexplicably, but then, he suddenly understood. "You mean, she's been hiding the fact that she's left-handed in front of outsiders, right?"
"That's right, so when everyone found out that she committed suicide by cutting her wrists, no one noticed anything wrong, not even the police."
"However, as far as I know, the deceased committed suicide by cutting his wrists, and I am afraid that the location of the wound will not be told to the outside world. So that's just your guess, right? Wei Zhongwen asked.
"You're right, I really don't have a way to verify my idea, no matter how much I check, there are no reports about it. However, from Ziqing's diary, I found another question, and this point answered my question from the side. ”
"What is it?"
"I have known Ziqing for many years, and I have always known that she is left-handed, so I naturally thought that other people also knew, but what I didn't expect was that in her diary, she clearly wrote that for some reason, she has been deliberately using her right hand, and even all the furnishings in the house are mainly 'right'."
"Xu Ziqing is left-handed, who knows?" Wei Zhongwen hurriedly asked as if he had caught some important information.
"As far as I know, the only people who know about this are Ziqing's deceased parents and a few friends who grew up together. I was one of them. Tang Yuran couldn't help but sigh as he spoke, as if he was lamenting the injustice of fate.
"What about Qin Kai?"
Listening to Wei Zhongwen's question, Tang Yuran shook his head at first, and then said, "Qin Kai, like everyone else, doesn't know about this matter. Ziqing wrote this question very clearly in her diary. ”
"I see. According to you, on the body of the deceased, the knife marks on the wrist are most likely on the left hand, not the right hand. Since the police did not know the fact that Xu Ziqing was left-handed, they naturally decided that the case was suicide. But if the scar is on the right hand, from a police officer's point of view, it will feel unnatural, so the case will never be hastily resolved, and the probability of the case being convicted as a suicide will be correspondingly low. Wei Zhongwen clarified his thoughts and said, that is to say, from Tang Yuran's point of view, her suspicions are indeed not entirely unreasonable.
After listening to Wei Zhongwen's words, Tang Yuran seemed to see hope all of a sudden, and it seemed that the other party had completely understood his thoughts.
"But..."But then, Wei Zhongwen changed his words and continued: "There is another possibility, maybe the police have taken this possibility into account, and the decision to condemn the case as suicide was also made after this possibility was ruled out." ”
"This..."Hearing Wei Zhongwen's speculation, Tang Yuran couldn't refute anything at once, and what the other party said was also reasonable.
Therefore, if you want to further find out the truth of the matter, you need to know more about the details of the case.
"So you came to me because I might have access to the case file?" Wei Zhongwen opened his mouth and said, his face was open, and he didn't seem to care about it.
"I do have this in mind, because the police are not willing to reopen the case, so if the details of the case file can be obtained through you, then it is possible that the case will continue to be investigated." Tang Yuran said, with some embarrassment in his tone, as if he realized the inappropriateness of this behavior.
"I can accept your commission, but before that, I have one condition." Wei Zhongwen thought about it and said seriously.
"Just say it, I'll do it." Tang Yuran was very excited, she never thought that Wei Zhongwen would accept the commission so quickly.
"My conditions are very simple, before I accept it, I have to read the diary first, and I think I will give you a satisfactory answer after I have confirmed the contents of it." Wei Zhongwen said, as if he wanted to dispel the other party's doubts, and smiled unconsciously.
"Okay, I promise you." Although he hesitated at first, Tang Yuran finally chose to accept. She understood the other party's intentions, and Wei Zhongwen did have the right to do so.
After Tang Yuran finished speaking, he handed the diary to Wei Zhongwen.
Immediately afterwards, there was no sound of talking in the room, only the sound of Wei Zhongwen constantly flipping through the diary, and the surroundings suddenly fell silent.
Tang Yuran was still a little unaccustomed to it, and coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, while Wei Zhongwen, who was sitting on the other side, was completely unaffected and looked at the diary with great concentration.
suddenly had nothing to do, and when Tang Yuran was bored, he began to look around at the firm. The extremely simple decoration, black and white tones, and not a lot of supporting furniture have an indescribable sense of matching with Wei Zhongwen in front of him.
The person in front of him is only in his thirties, but he has more sense of ability and maturity than ordinary people, and in addition, there is a faint sense of oppression. Even though Wei Zhongwen has always been smiling and welcoming people, this feeling has never disappeared.
Just when Tang Yuran was full of thoughts, Wei Zhongwen finished reading the last page of the diary, and with a sigh, closed the diary.
"Now I'm more willing to believe your guesses. For a person who is about to commit suicide, the contents of such a diary do not fit her state of mind. Wei Zhongwen opened his mouth to speak, and his tone suddenly became a little heavier.
"Thank you." Although Tang Yuran had expected this situation, when she heard the other party's praise in person, Tang Yuran couldn't help but be a little excited. It's a joy to be trusted.
"That's what I'm supposed to do." Wei Zhongwen smiled slightly, and continued. "Now I understand why you're so obsessed with this case." Obviously, the contents of the diary changed Wei Zhongwen's previous thoughts.
"Thank you, Mr. Wei." Tang Yuran said, nodded first, then took the diary, and said: "In the last paragraph of the diary, it is clearly written that Ziqing wants to choose to break up with Qin Kai, and she wants to end this life and start a new stage. Maybe she was really fed up with Qin Kai, so she made up her mind to make such a decision. Tang Yuran said as he turned the diary to the last page.
"That is, although the two of them are boyfriend and girlfriend, the relationship between the two has frozen to the point of breaking up." Wei Zhongwen opened his mouth and said.
"Yes, I've done my research and asked their friends and neighbors. At that time, because the two of them often quarreled, they were in a state of separation, which lasted for about a week, and it didn't take long after that... Ziqing just..."Tang Yuran said, there were already tears in the corners of his eyes. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, Tang Yuran was still moved in the depths of her love.
"Please, please mourn." Wei Zhongwen said unnaturally, he has always been not very good at comforting people.
"I'm fine... I'm sorry for the tense, I just thought of Ziqing being so pitiful, just..."
"Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to help you find out the truth of the matter." At this moment, no amount of comfort is powerless, and only by finding out the truth earlier can it be regarded as giving an explanation to the deceased earlier.
Wei Zhongwen said, his thoughts suddenly turned to the diary just now, and what was written in the diary was indeed consistent with what Tang Yuran described. If this is the case, would a person who is full of hope for the future really choose to commit suicide? From this point of view, it seems that as Tang Yuran said, the truth should have something else hidden.
Thinking of this, Wei Zhongwen couldn't help but draw a big question mark in his heart.
Suddenly, a spontaneous thought made Wei Zhongwen shudder.
If Xu Ziqing did not commit suicide, but was related to Qin Kai, then he would definitely not be the one who sent the diary.
Then the person who has access to this diary must have been to the scene of the crime.
Wei Zhongwen suddenly felt a little numb in his scalp, maybe on the day of Xu Ziqing's death, a person who no one expected would walk into Xu Ziqing's sight like this...
