At first, Luo Fei was a bit puzzled.
What on earth was Zhu Ziqiang talking about?
But upon hearing this sentence,
he put on a stern face.
"Zhu Ziqiang, you're quite the actor, aren't you?"
Seeing the sowhat suspicious look from Luo Fei, squinting his eyes.
His face was full of disdain.
Zhu Ziqiang just blinked.
"Mr. Luo, what are you talking about? What am I pretending? I wasn't pretending at all??"
Seeing Zhu Ziqiang's disbelief,
Han Tiesheng on the side sneered.
"Zhu Ziqiang, don't think we don't know."
"It was you and Zhang Dongliang who caused the death of Zheng Xueli and her parents."
"You and Zhang Dongliang covered for each other, creating alibis. In reality, you acted separately, swapping murders!"
Han Tiesheng deliberately exaggerated.
This almost made Zhu Ziqiang burst into tears.
"Officer, what are you talking about? It's not at all like you say! You've completely misunderstood!"
Looking at Zhu Ziqiang's face full of innocence,
Luo Fei exchanged a glance with Han Tiesheng.
"Zhu Ziqiang, if you're not the murderer, where were you at noon today?"
"And a few days ago, before Zheng Xueli was killed, you were not going to work on ti, always finding ways to slack off. Don't tell us we've misunderstood you!"
Seeing Han Tiesheng's stern face,
his expression was extrely serious.
Zhu Ziqiang had to clench his fists and take a deep breath.
"Officers, I swear to the heavens, it's not like you think."
"I can also guarantee to you, I absolutely did not harm Zheng Xueli. The reason I was occasionally absent these past few days is because of other hidden reasons!"
Zhu Ziqiang seed a bit embarrassed as he spoke.
Seeing beads of sweat appear on his forehead,
his face was full of difficulties and helplessness.
Luo Fei exchanged a glance with Han Tiesheng.
"Zhu Ziqiang, are you lying without even drafting it?"
"If you want us to believe you, you'll have to produce enough evidence!"
Luo Fei and his team's attitude was firm.
Zhu Ziqiang had to sigh.
"Mr. Luo, to be honest, I never completely lost contact with Zheng Xueli since we broke up."
"We would secretly et while she went for extra classes on weekends. Recently, she's been wanting to et frequently, and I had no choice..."
Zhu Ziqiang scratched his head, looking a bit embarrassed.
Finally, Luo Fei understood.
Why Zhu Ziqiang hadn't found anyone else in the seven or eight years since he broke up with Zheng Xueli.
They simply couldn't break it off cleanly.
Since his heart was always with Zheng Xueli, Zhu Ziqiang naturally couldn't go looking for soone else.
But even knowing this, Luo Fei remained vigilant.
Instead, he spoke very seriously.
"Zhu Ziqiang, even so, it doesn't an you have no suspicion."
"Perhaps you always had to et Zheng Xueli secretly, unable to face each other openly. Since she wouldn't divorce her husband, despite their strained relationship, you couldn't take it anymore. So you acted out rashly, pushing her parents off the cliff."
But hearing Luo Fei's words,
Zhu Ziqiang was quite shocked.
His eyes widened.
"Officer, are you joking? Since I've been with Xueli, she's always been accommodating towards ."
"Even her parents were satisfied with . It was only due to so special reasons that we couldn't be together."
Luo Fei couldn't help but frown after listening.
"Zhu Ziqiang, at this point, are you still hiding the truth? Do you intend to wait until you're in prison before telling us what really happened?"
Luo Fei seed sowhat amused.
But Zhu Ziqiang snorted disdainfully.
"Mr. Luo, to tell you the truth, the reason I didn't end up with Zheng Xueli was because of my mother. She interfered. She hoped Xueli would be a housewife, not work after marriage, and focus on serving her husband and children. But Xueli didn't want that."
"That's why her parents had to agree to us breaking up."
After Zhu Ziqiang's explanation,
Luo Fei learned that
Originally, Zhu Ziqiang always obeyed his mother.
But since he started dating Zheng Xueli,
he began to have his own opinions.
As a result, his mother believed Zheng Xueli was the negative influence leading her son astray,
making him disobedient.
Thus, she targeted this future daughter-in-law at every turn,
causing the conflict between them to grow increasingly severe,
culminating in today's situation.
"But actually, Zheng Xueli's parents were quite satisfied with . We got along well when we first t, so it's impossible for to harm them, let alone Xueli!"
Zhu Ziqiang said with conviction.
Yet Luo Fei still noticed a logical flaw in his words.
"Zhu Ziqiang, even if you did secretly et Zheng Xueli, where did you disappear to today at noon after she was murdered?"
Luo Fei was puzzled.
His tone carried a hint of confusion.
Zhu Ziqiang had to sigh.
"Officer Luo, the truth is, I planned to accompany Zheng Xueli to et Zhang Dongliang today at noon and openly discuss our relationship with him."
"After all, they had been together for so long without children, and their marriage was just a facade. So I intended to ask Xueli to have him sign the divorce papers. It would be a release for both of them."
"However, I waited at the eting place for a long ti, but Xueli never showed up. Her phone was unreachable. I had no choice but to go ho. Then I heard the news about Xueli's accident..."
After Zhu Ziqiang's explanation,
Luo Fei finally understood.
"I see, Mr. Zhu, but even so, this doesn't prove you have no suspicion."
"Additionally, Zheng Xueli had other lovers while dating you. Surely, you were aware of that?"
Luo Fei pretended to nonchalantly ntion this.
He wanted to see if Zhu Ziqiang knew about Zheng Xueli's other lovers,
and what his attitude would be upon learning the truth.
But to his surprise,
Zhu Ziqiang just smiled and shook his head.
"Mr. Luo, to be truthful, Xueli and I weren't in a proper relationship."
"She had told before. She would occasionally dine and walk with so n to pass the ti. I felt a bit unsettled initially, but later I realized that since she and I were just lovers, I let it go."
"So I know about those matters."
Zhu Ziqiang was unexpectedly calm.
This sowhat exceeded Luo Fei's expectations.
His ability to handle this also led Luo Fei to doubt if
Zhu Ziqiang had so quirks.
Did he enjoy having a 'green hat'?
"Mr. Zhu, have you ever considered who her lovers were? Were there any suspicious individuals among them?"
Luo Fei was sowhat hopeful.
But Zhu Ziqiang just shook his head.
"Mr. Luo, Xueli and I agreed not to interfere with each other's business."
"So I never questioned about her lovers."
Zhu Ziqiang was extrely calm, almost to a fault.
Luo Fei straightforwardly continued to try to penetrate his last line of psychological defense.
"Zhu Ziqiang, have you considered that if Xueli could leave Zhang Dongliang to be with you, she might eventually tire of you and move on to soone else?"
"Mr. Luo, I have considered that. But thinking carefully, not everyone can promise to remain faithful always. I had told her before. Even if she cares for others, it doesn't matter to as long as she still wants to be with ."
Zhu Ziqiang's response surprised Luo Fei.
He never imagined soone could be so self-sacrificing.
Zhu Ziqiang not only lacked a controlling nature but was also like a turtle with great patience.
In terms of tolerance, he could be considered a master.
"Mr. Luo, by the look of him, he doesn't seem to be lying?"
