Chapter 100 Suspects

The suspect in front of him was only about 30 years old, but he had already bald early. His skin was dark because of long-term outdoor work, and because he didn't clean up in time, he looked sloppy.

Accompanied by Yuan Mu, Luo Li identified the suspect. "Yang Ping's boyfriend is him. I once told him Yang Ping's age and warned him not to provoke her again."

"Although I have been taking care of Yang Ping, I have never understood her. Her behavior, her thoughts, and the man she found... It may be because of my negation that she feels that I am superior."

"Wouldn't it make her uncomfortable to offer help with a redemptive mindset?"

They couldn't answer Luo Li's question.It's a done deal, and it's pointless to think about these things.

The suspect sitting in the interrogation room kept his head down, asking questions and answering them honestly.

"My name is Ding Nan, Ding of A, B, C, Ding, and Nan of East, West, North, South."

"I recently got divorced... and my daughter-in-law ran away with the child..."

"I just looked... I didn't dare to do anything...."

"I met Yang Ping when I was doing black work. Police officer, I really didn't know she was under 14 years old...she looks very mature..."

"Yang Ping said she wanted to live with me... She said she likes me to be honest."

When talking about Yang Ping, the suspect looked sideways, with sobs in his voice.

"Later, a very vicious woman came to me. She said that I was raping a young girl... I was very scared, so I fled back to my hometown..."

"Officer, I really didn't know she was so young..."

"The daughter-in-law in my hometown disliked my incompetence and left with the child. I came to Chenghuang to work for a living. But I didn't take the initiative to contact Yang Ping."

"It was she who called me that day. She cried and begged me to live with me, give me a baby, and let me wait for her to grow up..."

Yang Ping hated school very much, where she couldn't keep up with class and was often the object of ridicule by her classmates.Sunburned cheeks, wheat-colored skin, chubby bodies, clumsy movements, and even prematurely developed breasts... are all things they talk about and laugh at.

The teachers didn't like her either.Although Luo Li told her not to tell her about her experience, but the teachers still knew about her.Once she helped a female teacher pick up the eraser, and the teacher secretly disinfected the eraser with wet wipes several times...She thought she was dirty....

She couldn't stay in such a school for a moment, and she only hoped to leave here as soon as possible.

Today she was laughed at again.They could always find something new to laugh about if they wanted to.The more they were like this, the more she cringed, and the more she flinched, the more she was laughed at.

She was walking alone on the road, and the setting sun hit the red and yellow leaves, casting colorful halos, which attracted many passers-by to stop and take pictures.Chenghuang's autumn is beautiful, but all she feels is the cold of the coming winter.

She looked at the flying yellow leaves, and she didn't want to go back to the rescue center at all. The people there always told her about the future...But where does she have a future.She doesn't have a smart mind, a beautiful appearance, and a rich family. A girl like her is just married as a way out.

Since they are all the same, it is better to find an honest man to marry while you are young.That's what living is all about.

Thinking of this, she took off her positioning watch and walked in the opposite direction.She is going to find Ding Nan, she wants to ask him what he thinks?She wanted to ask if it still counted if he said before that he would marry her...

"Did you meet Yang Ping on the night of October 10?" the detachment leader asked.

Hearing this time, Ding Nan flinched. He raised his eyelids slightly and saw the detachment leader staring at him, so he quickly moved his gaze aside.

"I asked you something, answer it honestly."

Ding Nan's eyes dodged, and when he met the police's eyes, he slipped away like a loach.

“哼……，你不说我也能查出来。你的手机里10月13日18时05分有杨萍打来的电话，通话时间6分钟……。”

"There is a scarf left by Yang Ping in your rented room..."

"How about it? Do you need me to say more? It's boring to talk about it again. A man is a man who does things and who he is."

"The little girl is dead. If you say you didn't kill the person, then you have to provide evidence. If you don't say a word, we can only think that you have a ghost in your heart."

Sweat oozes from Ding Nan's head, and his hair, which is not much at all, is sticking to his scalp, making him look very embarrassed. "Officer, I didn't kill anyone, I really didn't kill someone..."

"Then tell me why Yang Ping went to you that night? What did you do to her?" the detachment leader asked while the iron was hot.

"That day... I really didn't do anything. She... called me... said she didn't want to go to school anymore, and wanted...to marry me."

"I didn't know her age before..., but now I know that she is so young, how could I still..."

"But she said... she was bullied at school and she didn't want to go to school anymore."

"I advised her to go back to the aid center, but she was unwilling..."

"I know a little about her. She's usually very strong. If...if I don't take her in, she might sleep on the street alone..."

"So I went to pick her up and go back to my rental house."

"But...we really didn't do anything! I swear, I really didn't touch her!" Ding Nan explained suddenly emotionally.

"What happened after that? What happened after she came to your rental house?" asked the detachment leader.

Ding Nan buried his head on his chest: "She wants to be with me... She said... let me marry her...."

"I told her that she was too young, she was still a child. She became very excited. She called me useless, called me not a man..., and called me a liar."

"Anyway, she's very excited..." Ding Nan scratched his head at this point. "She was in a bad mood...and even slapped me a few times...."

"Then she ran away... I didn't dare to chase her..." Ding Nan suddenly hit himself on the head with his fist.

"I'm so stupid, I didn't go after her.... If I had gone after her, she wouldn't have died.... I was a jerk... I... I... actually liked her."

"Officer really... I really like her... I don't care that she is not good-looking, I... I don't care what people say about her... In my eyes, she is the best and the cutest of……."

Speaking of this, Ding Nan suddenly lay down on the table and cried bitterly.This is the first time Lori has seen a man in his 30s cry like a dog....

She didn't know what happened to Yang Ping at school. She only wanted to correct her problems, but never thought about her feelings.Her sensitivity, her low self-esteem, and her protective color when she pretended to be talkative.

Not every clumsy ugly duckling can turn into a swan; not every clumsy ugly duckling can bear the cold eyes and ridicule of others.

Perhaps in Yang Ping's eyes, she was only worthy of an 'honest' man like Ding Nan, but even such a man rejected her.She must have been filled with despair when she came out of the house.
