Compared to him
Come on, his roommate He Jun is that powerful and influential person.
Thinking of this, Ye Rou suddenly had a thought: Could the murderer be He Jun?
Once the thought crossed her mind, she couldn't suppress it. Thinking of Zhang Fu's obsequious manner towards He Jun, Ye Rou became more and more convinced that her guess was correct, and the word "scapegoat" instantly popped into her mind.
"You know who the murderer is, right?" she asked Ye Mo on her phone. "You must have figured it out, the murderer is He Jun, right? Zhang Fu was the one he pushed out to take the blame, right?"
Ye Mo, who was getting her makeup done, heard her phone ringing. She opened her eyes, picked up her phone, and saw several messages from Ye Rou.
When Ye Rou pressed her for an answer, she only gave two words.
Upon hearing the message notification, Ye Rou eagerly opened her phone and immediately saw two words on the screen. "Guess."
Ye Rou: "..."
***
After teasing Ye Rou, Ye Mo imagined her reaction when she saw his reply and couldn't help but chuckle.
However, regarding the case at S University... Ye Rou was indeed right. That Zhang X was not the main culprit at all; at most, he was an accomplice. His voluntary surrender was not voluntary.
Thinking of this, Ye Mo's smile faded, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
The He Family told him that if he was willing to take full responsibility for the case, the Zhang Family would find a way to reduce his sentence and arrange jobs for his parents and sisters to ensure their livelihood. However, if he was unwilling, the He Family had many ways to ruin his entire family!
Chapter 64 The sixty-fourth melon... what kind of melon is it? It's the one you eat sixty-four times...
The He Family initially planned to handle the case quietly, but as the matter escalated and more and more netizens paid attention to it, it became clear that simply ignoring it would not be enough to suppress it.
So after much deliberation, they came up with the idea of having someone take the blame, and Zhang Fu was the person they had their eye on.
Of course, the He Family didn't see this as taking the blame. After all, if He Jun got into trouble, Zhang Fu and Cai Hong'an, as accomplices, wouldn't be able to escape responsibility either. Now, as long as one person took the blame, the matter could be swept under the rug. Wasn't this a win-win situation for everyone?
Whether Zhang Fu is willing or not is beyond his control.
"... It was me, I killed Yu Rong." Two days later, Zhang Fu voluntarily turned himself in to the police station. Sitting there, his face weary and dejected, his head bowed, he appeared trembling with fear and unease.
Wei Yiming, who was in charge of the case, stared intently at him and questioned, "You say you killed Yu Rong? Then why did you kill him?"
Zhang Fu's eyes flickered, avoiding his gaze, and he said, "I just don't like him. What gives him the right to be so arrogant, a kid from the countryside? Why do all the teachers and classmates like him...?"
"I was jealous of him, so that day, after getting drunk, I killed him in a fit of rage!" he rambled on, his fingers unconsciously scratching at each other. "I didn't actually mean to kill him. I didn't expect him to be so fragile. I just hit him a few times, and he died..."
Thinking of what happened that day, he couldn't help but cover his face and cry, saying, "I killed him, arrest me!"
Based on his years of experience in handling cases, Wei Yiming intuitively felt that the person in front of him was not the real murderer. However, the man insisted that he was the one who killed the person, so Wei Yiming had no choice but to arrest him first.
He felt there was something fishy about the case and planned to investigate it more thoroughly. However, before he could do anything, the bureau had already issued a notice online that "the murderer has surrendered." While netizens were condemning and vilifying the name " Zhang Fu," Wei Yiming rushed directly to the bureau chief's office.
"Chief, didn't I already say that there are still many unclear aspects to this case? This Zhang Fu may not be the murderer... Don't you think it's too arbitrary to have someone announce the murderer's identity online right now?"
The bureau chief chuckled and said, "Xiao Wei, the murderer has already turned himself in and explained the motive. What's unclear about this case? Sometimes you're just too meticulous. Even with obvious cases, you still get hung up on them."
He stated firmly, "I see no doubt about this case. The murderer has surrendered; the case can be closed!"
Wei Yiming said anxiously, "Director... listen to me, there are still many suspicious points in this case, we can't just rush to a conclusion like this!"
The chief gestured downwards, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more, and said, "Alright, stop standing in front of me. Doesn't your team have other cases to solve recently? Solve those cases as soon as possible, so that netizens won't say our police station is incompetent again... Okay, you can leave now!"
Wei Yiming: "..."
Seeing that the bureau chief seemed unwilling to say anything more and was raising his cup to drink tea and see him off, he gritted his teeth, turned around, and left with a resentful expression.
Shortly after he left, the police chief received a phone call. He beamed and told the person on the other end, "... Don't worry, this matter is settled, the case will be closed soon."
I don't know what the person on the other end of the phone said, but the wrinkles on his brows smoothed out with a smile, and he said cheerfully, "You're too kind... Are you having dinner tonight? Okay, I'll definitely be there!"
After finishing the call, the police chief's expression was extremely pleased. He was already thinking that since he had done the He Family such a big favor, shouldn't he be promoted?
Regardless of how much the bureau chief in City S fantasized about his bright future after helping the He Family, the He Family members, after receiving a definite answer from the bureau chief, also believed that the case was now settled.
"Alright, alright, my dear grandson, everything will be alright from now on, don't be scared." Grandma He looked at her precious grandson with affection. No matter how you looked at her, she was a kind and amiable old lady.
He Jun breathed a huge sigh of relief—he was really afraid his father would make him turn himself in. Fortunately, his grandmother was there. In this family, his grandmother loved him the most and was also the one who could control his father the most.
"Grandma is still the best to me." He hugged Grandma He's arm affectionately, Grandma He laugh happily.
Seeing this, Father He. He felt a vein throbbing in his forehead. He was once again certain that his suspicions were correct, and said, "Get ready, I'll send you abroad in a couple of days..."
Upon hearing this, He Jun's expression changed, and he instinctively refused, saying, "I don't want to. I'm perfectly fine in China, why would I want to go abroad?"
Father He sneered, "It was one thing for you to indulge in eating, drinking, and having fun before, but now you even dare to kill people! How could I dare to let you stay in the country! If I let you stay here any longer, I'm afraid you'll drive me to my death sooner or later!"
Seeing that Father He. He's expression showed he had made up his mind, He Jun turned to Grandma He: "Grandma..."
He knew that only someone in the family could change his father's mind, so he held Grandma He He's hand and shook it, saying, "Grandma, I don't want to go abroad. If I go abroad, I won't be able to see you anymore... I don't want to be separated from you."
Grandma He was delighted by his coaxing and patted his hand, saying, "Okay, okay, we won't go abroad, we won't go abroad!"
"Mom!" Father He. He couldn't help but speak up, "Do you think that indulging Junjun like this is for his own good? If you keep spoiling him like this, I'm afraid he'll make a hole in the sky! You shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore; I'm determined to send him abroad."
