Chapter 1015 - 951: Starting from the Time of Death
"The initial suspect, Mai Zuqing, went to karaoke and drinking on that day, and at around 11 p.m., he arrived home to find the bodies of his wife and daughter, then reported it to the police. The police arrived at the scene around 11:40 p.m."
"Mai Zuqing worked as a cost analyst in the cost department of a real estate company, which was a relatively high-paying job at the time. He had a busy schedule, often working overtime and going out for business entertainment, and he personally liked to drink. Therefore, there were many quarrels between Mai Zuqing and his wife. Mai Zuqing also had a history of physical violence, having once broken the corner of his wife Sui Yingxue’s mouth."
"However, Mai Zuqing was very good to his pair of children, and through our conversations with his colleagues, we felt that he didn’t seem like the type of criminal who would kill his own daughter. Moreover, if it were Mai Zuqing coming home, then there would have been no reason for the mother, Sui Yingxue, to hide their son. Similarly, if Mai Zuqing had the intention to kill his wife and erase his children, he wouldn’t have left his son alive."
"We’ve collected some witness testimonies related to the case, and they mostly support the alibi that Mai Zuqing provided. Adding to that the testimony from the survivor..."
Lang Heng briefly explained the case and then looked at Jiang Yuan to ask, "Do you want to meet with this young survivor?" Lang Heng asked this pivotal question.
The child, who was 8 years old back then, is now 18 and able to fully articulate what he saw, heard, and thought. On the other side, because one of the suspects is his father, whether this young man can truthfully express his observations and thoughts is another question.
But, compared to having no information, even false information can be useful. Besides, there is a very good chance that what the survivor has to say is the truth.
"Let Meng Chengbiao talk to him," Jiang Yuan wasn’t particularly sociable, and a witness who had already undergone multiple rounds of questioning was like a sponge that had been wrung out many times; Jiang Yuan didn’t have the strength to wring it anymore.
