The Forensic Doctor Better Than a Detective-Chapter 530 - 301: The Third Man!

At this moment, the air inside the interrogation room seemed to freeze.

The one-way mirror reflected the stark white light, making Wang Jun’s haggard face appear even paler.

Jiang An crossed his arms on the metal tabletop, his gaze sharp like a hawk’s. "Wang Jun, I advise you to be honest."

"Many have tried to lie and fool us in the past."

"But none have escaped the punishment of the law."

"The phrase ’honesty leads to leniency, resistance to severity’ is definitely not just empty words."

Wang Jun’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

Wan also spoke sternly, "We’re not here to fool you either."

"Recognize your current situation clearly. If you continue to evade the truth, don’t blame us for being harsh."

"I really didn’t lie!"

Wang Jun suddenly stood up in agitation, the handcuffs clashing against the metal table with a piercing sound.

"That night, I truly went out looking for Little Jie!"

His voice was tinged with sobs as he slumped back into the chair.

"I never expected my wife to die that night, and now the child has no one to care for..."

Saying this, his hands began to shake uncontrollably, the metal handcuffs clinking lightly with his movements.

Jiang An and Wan exchanged a meaningful glance.

Wan had originally intended to harshly reprimand him but swallowed his words upon seeing Wang Jun’s breakdown.

In the interrogation room, only Wang Jun’s suppressed sobs and the hum of the air conditioner could be heard.

After a long while, Jiang An cleared his throat, "As of now, you are still a suspect in this case."

"According to regulations, we have the right to detain you for 24 hours."

"We will definitely verify the situation you’ve described promptly."

"If there is any problem in the verification, you won’t even have the chance to be honest."

Saying this, the two of them walked out of the interrogation room one by one, the heavy iron door closing behind them.

At this moment, the city was already lit up with bright lights, and the corridor outside the interrogation room was dimly lit.

Through the window, the entire city could be seen shrouded in hazy neon lights.

"It’s really unexpected..."

Wang walked while shaking his head, his voice filled with confusion.

"From the time of the crime, the motive, to the suspect, he is the most suspect."

Suddenly, he stopped and turned to Jiang An, "Junior, how credible do you think his whereabouts are that night?"

Jiang An leaned against the window, looking outside.

"I think the possibility is very high."

"At this point, there’s no need for him to continue circling around with us."

Wan nodded and took out his cell phone, "Indeed."

"I also think he’s not lying."

His fingers slid quickly over the screen, "I’ll contact the local police station immediately and ask them to assist us in verifying at the hair salon."

Jiang An lifted his wrist and glanced at his watch, saying solemnly, "Forget it!"

"The timing for this case is urgent, we’ll verify it ourselves."

"Ourselves?"

Wan looked incredulous, "Mr. Jiang, the distance is not short."

Jiang An’s mouth twitched, "Tonight, I’ll treat you to a late-night snack!"

Meanwhile, Mr. Fu and Zhao Ming, along with two team members, drove to the east end of the village.

Dusk had deepened, and a few dim lights flickered in the village.

Standing in front of the door, Mr. Fu raised his hand and knocked on the slightly weathered wooden door.

Soon, a man in his forties opened the door.

Mr. Fu presented his police ID, speaking calmly, "Hello! We are from the City Public Security Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Team, seeking to understand some circumstances regarding Wang Cuilan."

Li Guang nodded and gestured for them to come in.

"Tell us about your relationship with Wang Cuilan."

Mr. Fu asked directly.

Li Guang sighed deeply, his gaze dimming: "Cuilan and I... have known each other for many years."

"From elementary to junior high, we were classmates all the way, you could say childhood friends."

He paused, his fingers unconsciously rubbing the edge of the teacup.

"Later, I went to study in the county, and our contact lessened."

"It wasn’t until three years ago that we met by chance at the market and I knew she was also married to this village."

Mr. Fu continued to ask, "How was your relationship after reuniting?"

"We... cherished this bond very much."

Li Guang lifted his head, a flash of pain in his eyes.

"Occasionally, we chat and help each other with farm work."

"Her husband works out of town; it’s not easy for her to raise a child alone."

Speaking of this, he suddenly became agitated, "Officer, I heard she was under the bridge..."

"Did she commit suicide? Her electric scooter was found on the bridge..."

"The case is under investigation, specific details cannot be disclosed. We hope you understand."

Mr. Fu continued to ask, "We need to know the last time you saw Wang Cuilan."

Li Guang tried to calm down, "The last time... was yesterday morning around seven."

"At that time, I was delivering goods to the county, and saw her riding an electric scooter at the village entrance."

"I honked, and she turned back with a smile..."

Then, his voice choked, "Unexpectedly, that was the last time."

"Does her husband know about your relationship?"

Li Guang appeared flustered, "We... we’re just ordinary friends."

"Her husband probably doesn’t know, at least Cuilan never mentioned it."

Mr. Fu continued to pursue, "Besides you, does Wang Cuilan have any other close male friends?"

"Probably not."

Li Guang shook his head, "After reuniting, she occasionally opened up to me."

The conversation lasted for nearly an hour. Before leaving, Mr. Fu casually asked, "Are you alone at home?"

Li Guang smiled bitterly and nodded, "Yes, my parents are gone, and I’ve never settled down."
