At this moment, Bao Qingshan was completely stunned, while his wife wore an expression of disbelief and terror, tightly clutching Bao Qingshan's shirt corner with a trembling voice she asked, "Q-Qingshan… is what he said… really true? You… you really… really planned it…"
Hearing his wife's voice, Bao Qingshan immediately came to his senses, shaking his head and repeating, "I didn't, I didn't… I didn't kill him…"
"Still unwilling to admit it?" Lin Chen shook the sealed bag in his hand and said, "The DNA on this cigarette butt, the Sea Sand on your shoe soles, and your lack of an alibi, Bao Qingshan, just saying no with your mouth is useless."
Bao Qingshan's eyes first showed panic, and upon hearing Lin Chen's words, his body trembled violently.
In the next moment, a fierce light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He raised his head and slapped his wife harshly across the face.
Bao Qingshan's wife didn't expect him to strike her. The slap landed solidly, causing her to scream and fall to the ground holding the child.
"You damned woman! You damned woman! Why did you keep the supermarket receipt after buying things? Why didn't you throw it away? I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" Bao Qingshan shouted at his wife and child, his expression as if he wanted to devour his wife alive.
Miao Yunfei and Zhang Tian'ai were slightly stunned. Just as Bao Qingshan was about to strike his wife again, Lin Chen stepped over and kicked him away.
The kick sent Bao Qingshan flying three or four meters before he fell heavily to the ground, screaming, unable to get up quickly.
Several male detectives immediately rushed over and restrained Bao Qingshan.
Bao Qingshan's wife had a red handprint on her face, and the little girl in her arms was frightened, dropping her candy and tears falling down her cheeks.
The little girl tightly grabbed her mother's clothes, eyes full of confusion, not understanding why her father hit her mother.
Lin Chen glanced at the mother and daughter, then said to Bao Qingshan, "It's not your wife's fault. Even without the supermarket receipt, I have enough evidence to prove you are the murderer."
Bao Qingshan struggled in the hands of the detectives and started yelling, "Wang Xuefeng deserved it! Wang Xuefeng deserved it! He cheated me out of my money! If he hadn't, I wouldn't have killed him…"
Guided by Lin Chen, Bao Qingshan confessed to the motive and process of killing Wang Xuefeng.
Wang Xuefeng was involved in investment business. His first two investment projects earned Bao Qingshan money, which built trust. Thinking Wang Xuefeng was a trustworthy friend, Bao Qingshan invested nearly all his savings in the third project.
That investment lost everything. Bao Qingshan was furious and investigated, discovering that although the money was lost, Wang Xuefeng had embezzled a large portion.
He confronted Wang Xuefeng to demand the money back but lacked solid evidence, only suspicion and guesswork. Wang Xuefeng insisted he hadn't stolen money and that all investments were lost.
Bao Qingshan felt bitter and after careful consideration, decided to kill Wang Xuefeng to make him pay.
The subsequent events matched Lin Chen's deduction: he placed Wang Xuefeng on the railing, struggled with his decision, feeling anger but also hesitation.
Bao Qingshan paced the rooftop as night fell. At the railing, he smoked a cigarette, and after finishing it, resolutely decided Wang Xuefeng must die.
After tidying the scene, Bao Qingshan returned home just as his wife came back with their daughter.
Following Wang Xuefeng's death, Bao Qingshan told his wife to give false testimony, claiming the family didn't leave the house before eight o'clock to provide an alibi.
His wife never doubted him, and the police found no inconsistencies.
Lin Chen looked at the despondent Bao Qingshan and asked, "Do you regret killing him now?"
"Regret?" Bao Qingshan smiled bitterly, locking eyes with Lin Chen, "What use is regret?"
"Wang Xuefeng is dead. Regret is useless," Lin Chen shook his head.
Bao Qingshan slumped, his wife and daughter sitting on the ground, tear-stained and not standing up.
Lin Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at Miao Yunfei. "This case is closed. Next time you investigate, keep your arrogance in check and use this…"
Lin Chen pointed to his head.
Miao Yunfei was so angry her nose almost twisted. This guy actually told her she didn't use her brain when solving cases.
Zhang Tian'ai glanced worriedly at Mayor Miao Zhengxiong. To say his daughter doesn't use her brain in front of the mayor himself—only Lin Chen could pull that off in Tianhai City.
