Chapter 302: I Will Not Be A Mistress
“Yunyun saw the video and was terrified, so she rushed out to find He Linwen,” Qiaoqiao said. “The cat doesn’t know what happened afterward.”
“Qiaoqiao, the information you provided is very useful,” Jiang Yuan said softly, patting its head. “Thank you.”
Qiaoqiao’s furry face showed seriousness. “Will Yunyun really not come back?”
Jiang Yuan took a deep breath and nodded. “Yes.”
Hearing this answer, Qiaoqiao’s two round cat pupils instantly filled with tears. “The cat misses Yunyun so much.”
Jiang Yuan comforted Qiaoqiao for a few sentences, then stood up and looked at Kang Jiaoli. “Ms. Kang, Qiaoqiao cannot be left here alone. Its owner is still abroad, so what about it…”
Before she could finish speaking, she heard Kang Jiaoli say dejectedly, “I’ll take Qiaoqiao home.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan then looked at Xiao Xu and the others. “We still need to know what happened after Yunyun went to find He Linwen, and whether He Linwen is the murderer.”
Kang Jiaoli held Qiaoqiao in her arms and anxiously pressed, “How can we find out?”
“We don’t know yet,” Jiang Yuan frowned slightly. “Why was He Linwen unwilling to break up with Yunyun?”
“Yes,” Xiao Xu also found it strange. “He didn’t want to break up, but he started dating a new girlfriend?”
“He Linwen started dating a new girlfriend?” Kang Jiaoli was very shocked.
“Yes,” Xiao Xu said. “We saw him on a date with his new girlfriend today.”
He Lewei: “Does his new girlfriend know anything?”
“It’s hard to say,” Jiang Yuan said sternly. “We’ll contact her tomorrow and ask her at the station.”
It was already three in the morning. After sending Kang Jiaoli home, Jiang Yuan returned home close to four o’clock.
She hurried to the bathroom to wash up. She finished and got into bed at exactly 4:30.
Jiang Yuan was very tired and soon fell asleep.
She set her alarm for nine o’clock. After waking up and eating breakfast, she immediately drove to the police station.
Xiao Xu saw her and asked, “Have you eaten breakfast?”
Jiang Yuan: “Yes, I’ve eaten.”
Xiao Xu nodded. “I’ve already contacted the girl named Yiyi. She said she can only come at ten.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan glanced in the direction of the interrogation room. “Have you interrogated him this morning?”
“Not yet,” Xiao Xu replied. “The boss said to question Yiyi first.”
Jiang Yuan nodded, indicating she understood.
Si Heng came out of his office and saw her. He called out, “Jiang Yuan, come here for a moment.”
“Okay.” Jiang Yuan followed him into the office and asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong?”
“You came so early, aren’t you tired?” Si Heng’s gaze fell on her face. “Would you like some coffee?”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuan smiled and said, “Don’t we have a case? I definitely need to come early. I won’t have coffee, I already drank it at home.”
“Okay, sit down,” Si Heng said lightly. “I’ve already read Qiaoqiao’s record.”
Jiang Yuan sat on the sofa. “What do you think?”
Si Heng took a sip of his coffee. “He Linwen’s unwillingness to break up with Fang Mengyun is likely because Fang Mengyun is profitable.”
“Profitable?” Jiang Yuan blinked in confusion. “Is it Fang Mengyun’s house?”
“It’s probably more than just the house,” Si Heng’s voice deepened slightly.
Jiang Yuan frowned, a look of bewilderment appearing on her clean and pure face. “But if He Linwen didn’t want to break up with Fang Mengyun for profit, why would he have killed her?”
“You’ve hit the nail on the head,” Si Heng put down his coffee. “I’m also thinking about this problem.”
After a while, the office door was knocked from the outside.
“Boss, Gu Yiyi has arrived,” Meng Xiaokai’s voice came through.
“Okay,” Si Heng replied, then looked at Jiang Yuan. “Are you resting here?”
“No need.” Jiang Yuan stood up. “I want to go and hear what Gu Yiyi has to say.”
The two walked out of the office one after another.
Gu Yiyi was already sitting in interrogation room 3.
Si Heng and Xiao Xu entered the interrogation room together, while Jiang Yuan and the others went into another room and watched from behind the one-way mirror.
The anxious Gu Yiyi saw someone enter and quickly asked, “Officer, you said on the phone that you wanted to ask about He Linwen. He hasn’t committed any crime, has he?”
“He is involved in a murder case,” Si Heng said calmly.
“M-murder?” Gu Yiyi’s face changed, and her voice trembled. “How could this happen…”
Si Heng showed his identification and said sternly, “We need to understand the situation regarding He Linwen. We hope you will cooperate and answer truthfully.”
Gu Yiyi said hurriedly, “I don’t know if He Linwen committed murder.”
Si Heng’s eyes were calm. “What’s your name?”
“Gu Yiyi.”
“What is your relationship with He Linwen?”
Gu Yiyi bit her lower lip. “We are in a romantic relationship.”
“How long have you been in a relationship?”
“About four months.”
Si Heng glanced at the document in front of him. “Before you confirmed your relationship, did you know He Linwen had a girlfriend?”
“No,” Gu Yiyi frowned. “He has a girlfriend? He told me he was dating for the first time.”
Si Heng said lightly, “He dated Fang Mengyun for three years. At the end of March this year, Fang Mengyun discovered He Linwen was cheating and proposed to break up.”
“End of March?” Gu Yiyi’s face turned pale, and she murmured in disbelief. “We had only been together for a month then. He actually lied to me…”
“Not only that, but while he was dating you, he also constantly pestered Fang Mengyun, begging to get back together.”
“How could he do this?” Gu Yiyi felt her mind was in chaos, her eyes red. “How could he deceive two people at the same time…”
Si Heng continued to ask, “What were you doing on the evening of June 1st?”
Gu Yiyi: “I was watching a movie with a friend. After the movie, we went to her place for a late-night snack.”
Si Heng: “Did you contact He Linwen on June 1st?”
“We chatted on WeChat.”
“Would you be willing to provide the chat history?”
“Yes.” Gu Yiyi quickly found the chat history on her phone.
Si Heng took her phone and read through the chat content, his dark eyebrows slowly furrowing.
Gu Yiyi sent many photos to He Linwen, and each time he replied: I really want to watch with you, I really want to eat with you, I miss you…
He returned the phone to Gu Yiyi.
“On the evening of June 1st, he couldn’t have been…” Gu Yiyi pursed her lips, hesitating. “Committing the crime?”
“Are you truly unaware of him murdering Fang Mengyun?” Si Heng’s dark eyes narrowed slightly, filled with sharp scrutiny.
“I truly don’t know,” Gu Yiyi hurriedly shook her head. “If I had known he killed someone, I would have definitely broken up with him immediately.”
After speaking, she added, “No, if I had known he had a girlfriend, I would never have agreed to be with him.”
Gu Yiyi, afraid of being implicated, tearfully opened her phone. “You can check our chat history before we started dating. I really didn’t know He Linwen had a girlfriend. I would never be a mistress…”
