Chapter 1167: The Boss Is Out (35)
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Just as Ming Shu thought that nothing would happen, the police called her and asked her to come in for questioning.
The pink diamonds didn’t match Qiao Yun’s but the white diamond on the necklace matched the one on the brooch of another victim.
There was only one real diamond on the brooch.
Also, the family members of the victim never saw the brooch before.
This was definitely not a coincidence.
“Where did you get this necklace from?”
“Zheng Guangming gave it to me.”
“Zheng Guangming?”
This person never appeared in their investigation.
“Who is Zheng Guangming?”
“Our families have known each other for many years. You can investigate him yourselves. I am not the police.”
“…”
“Miss Qiao, if Zheng Guangming is a suspect, you are in danger.”
“Oh. Ask him to come then.” Ming Shu’s tone was arrogant. “I can help you all catch the culprit. I don’t need money. I just want snacks.”
The policeman: “…”
Where did this narcissist come from?
…
In the next few days, the police investigated Zheng Guangming. There was not much progress.
Zheng Guangming was as clean as an innocent passerby. When the victims were killed, he was out of the city. There were witnesses and GPS tracking to prove that he was not in the city.
The only suspicion was the necklace.
Zheng Guangming said that he bought the necklace from a shop. He told the police that they should question the shop and not him.
However, when the police went to the shop, they realized that an accident happened at the shop and all the customer details were lost.
…
The only thing that didn’t belong to the victims was the diamonds.
Besides Qiao Yun’s ear studs, the other diamonds were hidden among fake diamonds.
They were hidden in items that seemed cheap and useless.
The special investigation team tried to figure out why the murderer did this, but they didn’t arrive at an answer.
However, as the investigation progressed, many pieces of evidence regarding Zheng Guangming started to surface.
The suspicion surrounding him grew.
But it was not enough to hold him.
Ming Shu received a call from Zheng Guangming in the afternoon. He asked if he could treat her to a meal.
As a prime suspect, he was asking her for a meal now?
Ming Shu rejected him.
Even if there is food, I will not go!
Ming Shu didn’t expect Zheng Guangming to find her at her house. Qiao Cheng and Cui Yuhui were both not at home.
Ming Shu looked at the person at the door and turned around. She opened the door after some time.
Ming Shu stood at the door and sized up the man. He was wearing a casual suit as well as an expensive watch on his wrist. His shoes were shining under the light.
Honestly, no one would suspect such a charming and successful man to be a murderer.
He was both wealthy and handsome.
“Aren’t you going to invite me in?” Zheng Guangming asked casually.
Ming Shu tilted her body and let him in.
Zheng Guangming walked into the living room familiarly. He poured a cup of tea for himself.
“Little Qi, I watched you grow up. That time, you were just a little child. I was afraid that I would hurt you when I hugged you. Your sister was a naughty little girl too.”
Ming Shu sat opposite him. “So you killed her?”
Zheng Guangming smiled. “I always wondered who would be the one to catch me. I didn’t expect it to be you. I made a mistake. However, I don’t regret it. You should have the same things as your sister.”
Zheng Guangming could have given her anything. If he gave her a bag or some clothes… she wouldn’t link it to him even if she found the diamond in Qiao Yun’s possessions.
But, he didn’t.
He chose to give her the same thing he gave Qiao Yun.
Ming Shu smiled at him. “So, are you planning to kill me too?”
Zheng Guangming took a sip of his tea. He complimented her like an elder: “Little Qi, you’re very smart.”
If the real Qiao Qi was here, she might ask him why he killed her sister. He was Qiao Cheng’s friend. How could he bear to kill Qiao Yun?
However, if a person decides to be crazy, no one can stop him.
Ming Shu was not Qiao Qi. Hence, she smiled calmly and said, “Do you think that you can kill me? Who gave you the confidence?”
“Don’t you want to take revenge for your sister? If you want, I can give you a chance…”
“I don’t,” Ming Shu interrupted him.
Zheng Guangming: “…”
“I’ve no interest in psychopaths. Also, I don’t kill people.” Ming Shu paused and smiled. “I don’t think that you will be able to get out of here today. It is better for you to stay in prison.”
Zheng Guangming lowered his eyes.
He was anxious. This was not what he expected.
Zheng Guangming suppressed his anxiety. “Little Qi, since I dared to come, I have made ample preparations. It’s useless even if they suspect me. They don’t have any evidence. I killed your sister and all the other girls… you will be killed by me too.”
Zheng Guangming appeared indifferent when he said this.
He looked as though he was talking about the weather.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I’m filming a video.” Ming Shu pointed at the television wall.
There was a cellphone in a cabinet on the wall.
“Do you think I’m stupid? Why would I just let you in like this? I’ve already called the police.” Ming Shu got up and took the cellphone. She turned around and let Zheng Guangming see the screen. “Come, say hello to your future guardians.”
The members of the special investigation team were looking at him with black faces. He could see the night scenes flashing behind them. They should be in a car.
Zheng Guangming: “…”
If he was only a little nervous just now, he was totally relaxed now.
He smiled gently. “Little Qi, you really… surprised me.”
Actress Shu bent her knees and pretended to lift her dress in a curtsey. “You’re welcome.”
Zheng Guangming: “…”
…
When Qiao Cheng and Cui Yuhui arrived, Zheng Guangming had already been taken away. The living room was still intact. There was no sign of fighting.
Zheng Guangming never resisted. He waited obediently for the police to come.
Ming Shu didn’t understand Zheng Guangming. If he wanted to be caught, he wouldn’t need to commit such a perfect crime.
If he didn’t want to be caught, he could have run away before the police arrived.
Instead of doing that, he started telling Ming Shu about her and Qiao Yun’s childhood.
Qiao Cheng didn’t understand him either. They had been friends since junior high.
He didn’t know why his good friend would do such a thing.
That was his daughter…
