Chapter 75 The Wolf Is Coming (13)

Yan Ruyu lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and went through all the actions of the kidnapper in her mind.

He kidnapped Xia Bing, then sent Yan Ruyu the address of Niu Xiaojie's home, and hid the key at the door, so that Yan Ruyu saw Niu Xiaojie's diary and learned about the situation of school violence.

After the murderer of Niu Xiaojie, Principal Zhang, was arrested, he sent a photo to prove that Xia Bing was still alive.

The method is clean and neat, and the intention is very clear, the police can only be led by the nose by him.

How could it be... not Niu Sujie?

Niu Sujie and Minghui Xiaobai are alumni, and the three met each other when they were in school.

Unexpectedly, the first time they met after leaving school was when one person was detained, Minghui Xiaobai sighed.

Niu Sujie couldn't see anything other than haggard.

His eyes were dull, his beard was unshaven, and the dark circles under his eyes almost fell to his chin. His face was oily, and there were dry and white tears around his eyes. He must have not washed his face for several days.

With his brother missing and his mother dying, the young man is grieving.

As soon as the interrogation started, he began to whimper and cry like a child.

His head was deeply buried between his arms, his shoulders trembled violently, and his wailing sounded like a solitary animal, which broke the hearts of those who heard it.

Wu Cuo and Yan Ruyu sat quietly across from him. Yan Ruyu lit a cigarette for herself and handed Wu Cuo another one.

"Brother, say something about cigarettes." Wu Cuo said to Niu Sujie.

Niu Sujie was sobbing so hard that he raised one hand and made a movement of pinching the cigarette between two fingers.

Wu understood by mistake, ordered one and handed it to him.

When handing the cigarettes, Niu Sujie saw that in just a short while, Niu Sujie's cuffs were already wet from crying.

Niu Sujie sniffed his nose, took a puff of cigarette, choked himself until he coughed again and again, but slowly stopped crying.

"The murderer who killed your brother has been found." Yan Ruyu cut to the chase.

"Murderer? Killed?" Niu Sujie closed his eyes in pain, "You mean, Xiaojie...is dead?"

Niu Sujie's lips trembled when he said the last two words, and the sadness in his eyes was instantly replaced by overwhelming despair.

"Is he... is he still... dead?"

Niu Sujie wanted to take another puff of the cigarette, but his hands were shaking so badly that he couldn't put the cigarette into his mouth.

Wu Cuo couldn't bear to watch anymore, he got up and poured Niu Sujie a glass of water.

Niu Sujie took it and drank it down.

"They're all dead... they're all dead..."

Niu Sujie laughed suddenly, "Do you know? I finally have a salary, and I can do my part for the family. I can save my mother so much and buy my brother a pair of brand-name sneakers that everyone else has."

He smiled again, very bitterly, "But they are all dead, dead! Why? Why?..."

Yan Ruyu took a deep breath, and finally said, "Don't you think your mother's death is strange?"

Niu Sujie was silent for a long time before he sighed and said, "The driver who caused the accident has not been caught yet."

This is the wrong answer.

Apparently, Niu Sujie's grief-stricken brain isn't strong enough to process any information that isn't straightforward.

Yan Ruyu had no choice but to say more bluntly: "As far as we know, your mother died of... murder. The car accident that killed her was probably done deliberately."

Silence again.

This time it was much shorter than before.

Niu Sujie suddenly raised his head and shook his head in disbelief, "This...my mother is very kind, she never makes enemies with others...she often tells us that suffering is a blessing, she...how could...who would want to harm her ?”

Wu made a brief explanation of the investigation of the two cases of Niu Xiaojie and Wang Guihua.

When he learned that his seriously injured younger brother was cruelly abandoned in the wild by the principal, and that his mother might have been killed, Niu Sujie was about to burst into tears.

With red eyes, he asked ferociously: "Who the hell? Who killed my mother?...Could it be... related to my brother's case?"

It seems that Niu Sujie's thinking ability has returned.

Of course, Yan Ruyu couldn't let go of the opportunity. He immediately stopped providing information and asked, "Where were you on the night of April 4?"

"Go back to my hometown to visit my mother's grave...why do you ask this?"

Regardless of his doubts, Yan Ruyu continued: "Can someone prove it for you?"

"You... are you interrogating me?"

Yan Ruyu just looked at him and didn't speak.

Finally, Niu Sujie was defeated. He said: "I stayed at my grandma's house at night, and my grandma and grandpa can prove it. Now can you tell me what you are doing?"

Yan Ruyu and Wu Cuo looked at each other, and Wu Cuo said: "Xia Bing, the kid who took the lead in bullying your brother, he was kidnapped."

"You suspect me?" Niu Xiaojie patted his chest and smiled wryly, "Me? I hope it's me, I hope I can personally tie up the person who killed my mother and my brother!"

"and then?"

"And then...then..."

Then, he wished he could tear these people apart, but his profession allowed him to maintain the last sliver of reason, and he fell into a dilemma.

"Why do you think it's me? My brother is dead. If I want to kidnap, I should kidnap the murderer who killed him, not the middle school student who bullied him."

"That makes sense, but what if you don't know who the murderer is?
As far as we know, the kidnapper, like you, has no idea who the murderer is.

Moreover, the purpose of the kidnappers kidnapping Xia Bing is to draw our attention to the two cases of your family. To put it bluntly, they want us to catch the murderer who killed your brother and your mother. "

Niu Sujie was taken aback, "Are you sure?"

"Very sure."

There was silence again, Niu Sujie laughed suddenly, "God has eyes, there are such good people!"

"Well, I can understand that you doubt me, and thank you for breaking my brother's case, thank you.

I... I really wish I was the kidnapper, even if I could do something for my family in this way.

However, except that I have the strongest motive, you will not find any evidence, because I am really not a kidnapper, so stop wasting time on me. "

"Okay, I have one last question," Yan Ruyu took out a key in an evidence bag. "This key, please identify it."

He held the key in front of Niu Sujie, "Look, do you recognize it?"

Niu Sujie took the evidence bag, glanced at it and said, "This is my key."

"yours?"

"Yes, I lost my key."

"When did you lose it?"

"After December 12th, my mother's first seven days, I went home to welcome my mother back and stayed at home for one night.

I haven't been back since that day... Go back, see old stuff, I... can't stand that...

Before Qingming, I was going back to my hometown to visit my mother's grave. I wanted to go home and have a look, only to find that the key was lost. "

"So you don't have the keys to the house with you now, do you?"

"Correct."

Yan Ruyu was leaning on the back of the chair, rubbing the pimple between her eyebrows with one hand, obviously she had encountered a difficult problem that she couldn't understand.

Wu made a mistake to continue the interrogation.

"Then who do you think is most likely to avenge your brother and your mother?"

"I don't know... maybe... that person?..."
