Inside interrogation room number 3, Wang Chuang began to recount the process of his crime.
He sighed and said, "Eight years ago, Zhang Qian’s entire family was indeed murdered by Qin Yan, Lei Ming, and me."
Li Jian asked, "How did three people with different life trajectories come together to commit a crime?"
"Tell us how you came to know each other?"
Wang Chuang said, "During my middle school years, my parents passed away, leaving me an orphan."
"Besides the village committee being concerned about me, Zhang Qian’s mother also sympathized with me."
"She often invited me over to their house for meals."
As he spoke, Wang Chuang’s mouth slightly curved upward, "Zhang Qian and I were classmates. Over time, we had many opportunities to be alone together."
"Later, I realized I had feelings for Zhang Qian."
"I summoned the courage to confess to her, but she said the pressure from college entrance exams was too great, and she didn’t want to be romantically involved at the moment."
Wang Chuang shook his head.
"At the time, I was quite naive and actually believed that reason."
"After the exams, I didn’t get into college. That made me feel somewhat inferior, and I never brought up the topic again."
"At that time, I had only one goal, which was to make something of myself, earn a lot of money, and then go find her."
"Three years later, through my own efforts, I became the workshop manager at the shoe factory, and my income doubled."
"I went to the university to find her, only to discover she had a boyfriend."
"Later, I sought out Zhang Qian’s mother, hoping she would help me."
"I never expected her to say I was delusional, and her daughter could never marry me."
"After that, I was unable to move on from this relationship for a long time. Sometimes, in the dead of night, I had thoughts of destroying what I couldn’t have."
Five years later, a new shoe factory called Yanfei opened in Jiangcheng’s development zone, and they were recruiting workers.
I submitted my resume and applied for the deputy general manager position.
At the time, I was just trying my luck, not expecting to actually succeed in getting hired.
At this point, Li Jian asked, "How did the three of you agree to commit murder?"
Wang Chuang replied, "After I joined Yanfei Company, I interacted with the chairman, Qin Yan, quite often and gradually became familiar with her."
"One time, after a company meeting, I drove out."
"She asked me to give her a ride to a hotel for a friend’s wedding."
Wang Chuang paused briefly and said, "What surprised me was, the bride was actually Zhang Qian."
"At the time, I parked by the hotel entrance, and seeing Zhang Qian taking a photo with that middle-aged man felt like the sky had collapsed; the old hatred surged in my heart once again."
"Coincidentally, less than ten minutes after Qin Yan entered the hotel, she came out."
"I asked her, ’How come the wedding hasn’t started yet and you’re already out?’"
"She was very angry, saying Zhang Qian was a little vixen, otherwise she would have been the bride."
"After asking further, I learned that Zhang Qian had maintained a relationship with that man during university."
"Upon hearing this, I became even more furious."
"That night, we got drunk together at a bar. Both of us were deeply hurt by love and had a lot in common."
"It was that night that we plotted to take revenge on them."
Li Jian asked, "Regarding Lei Ming, how did he join you?"
Taking a moment to recall, Wang Chuang shook his head, "Really, this world is vast, and there’s no shortage of wonders."
"Once, Qin Yan and I went on a business trip together. Before reaching the highway entrance, the car had a flat tire."
"Coincidentally, there was a Thundering Auto Repair Factory nearby, so we drove the car there for repairs."
"While the car was being repaired, Qin Yan and I sat in Lei Ming’s office waiting."
"Suddenly, I noticed a photo on Lei Ming’s desk."
"I recognized the woman in the photo."
"She was Zhang Qian’s sister, Zhang Lu Yao."
"After the car was fixed and we were about to leave, we had a brief chat with Lei Ming."
"At that moment, Lei Ming mentioned Zhang Lu Yao’s family disapproved of him being a mechanic and prevented their relationship."
"Lei Ming said that after they broke up, he still secretly met with Zhang Lu Yao."
"Later, Zhang Lu Yao directly refused him and blocked contact."
"Lei Ming also felt hatred due to his love for Zhang Lu Yao."
"Later on, we arranged to meet Lei Ming, and with Qin Yan’s persuasion, he joined our plan."
Upon hearing this, Li Jian and Wan Junjie felt deeply oppressed.
Originally, it was a matter of free love, but ultimately became the reason for victimization.
Li Jian said, "There are many ways to solve problems, yet you three resorted to the most extreme method."
After a long time, Li Jian asked, "Tell us about the process when you ultimately carried out the murder."
Wang Chuang said, "Officers, could I have a cigarette?"
Li Jian stood up, took out a cigarette, lit it, and handed it over.
Wang Chuang took a few puffs and then started to speak, "I remember we specifically chose May 20th as the date to act."
"The three of us had clear divisions of labor."
"I was responsible for purchasing the tools for the crime, like knives, gloves, and other items."
"Qin Yan was tasked with scouting out the place, because she had a special relationship with Zhang Qian’s husband before starting her company."
"Lei Ming was responsible for sourcing the vehicle for the crime."
"Qin Yan scouted the location earlier that evening, identified the people inside, and planned to act after they fell asleep."
Li Jian asked, "How did you open the door?"
Wang Chuang replied, "I recall the time when there was no one upstairs or downstairs, Qin Yan simply knocked on the door!"
"When Zhang Qian and that man opened the door, the three of us rushed in directly."
"After Lei Ming and I stabbed fiercely, the two of them completely lost their ability to resist, collapsing on the ground."
"What happened afterward?"
Li Jian asked.
Wang Chuang said, "After those two fell, Lei Ming and I entered different bedrooms to kill Zhang Lu Yao and her mother."
"How did you distinguish who was in the two bedrooms?"
Wang Chuang answered, "Qin Yan had already identified that while scouting." Newest update provided by novel⚑fire.net
"What happened after that?"
Wang Chuang replied, "After executing the plan, Qin Yan went to start the car and come around."
"Lei Ming and I opened drawers and cabinets, taking valuables to make it look like a robbery murder, and left the scene, finally the three of us drove off."
Li Jian listened and nodded.
His recounting of the crime matched closely with the scene re-creation carried out by Jiang An.
Moments later, Li Jian suddenly asked, "Did you hesitate when you entered the bedroom to commit murder?"
After a long pause, Wang Chuang nodded.
"At that time, she was already asleep. I sat by her bed for a while."
"After all, during high school, I often went to her house for meals."
"However, just when I was about to give up the murder, the sound of Zhang Lu Yao’s struggling in the next room woke her up."
"Out of desperation, and for self-preservation, I killed her."
Finally, Li Jian asked, "Where are the tools used for the crime?"
Wang Chuang answered, "The tools and bloody clothes were all buried in the back hill of my old home."
