CHAPTER 12: CHAPTER 11: WHO SAYS YOU CAN’T FIND THE BODY?

With the escort of Wang Ning’s guard, he was placed to the side, while the colleague in front shared some basic information.

Once this procedure was complete, he could freely walk out of the police station.

Each time he confirmed with Wang Ning, he would show a benevolent smile, but in reality, he was thinking about how to kill the woman he collided with on his electric scooter after he got out.

As the blanks in the form were gradually filled, all it required was for that officer to stamp a red seal at the end to conclude it.

However, at this moment, Zhou Zhicheng suddenly jogged out, stopping the person’s actions.

"Wait!"

Officer: ?

Wang Ning: ?

"He can’t be released!"

Faced with Wang Ning’s puzzled expression, Zhou Zhicheng said to him, "We suspect you are related to a murder case from eight years ago."

Wang Ning: !!!

Once brought back to the interrogation room, Wang Ning appeared more agitated than five days earlier.

He kept slapping the table.

"What do you police want to do?"

"On what grounds do you arrest me, without evidence?"

"Just wait, when I get out, I’m going to sue all of you to death!"

...

To say the least, his voice echoed throughout the entire floor.

Because of Mu Yunchu’s special circumstances, they didn’t let the two of them communicate face to face. But Wang Ning could still hear her voice.

The young officer who was always by Zhou Zhicheng’s side expressed some concern, "Captain, in case..."

"Forget it, no need to say anything." Zhou Zhicheng did not fully trust Mu Yunchu, he trusted his own instincts.

"If something happens, I’ll take responsibility."

...

Zhou Zhicheng opened the door and walked in, meeting Wang Ning’s gaze directly. He sat opposite him, while the young officer held a notebook and sat down beside him.

"Wang Ning."

"I’ve investigated, you got married twelve years ago." With eyes like an eagle, Zhou Zhicheng stared intensely at the other, unwilling to miss any emotion in his eyes, "So where did your wife go?"

"Ran off with someone else," Wang Ning blurted out.

It seemed this answer had been given countless times.

"Ran off with someone else?"

"Yeah, she thought I was useless," Wang Ning sneered as he spoke, the self-deprecation and disdain didn’t seem like a lie.

"Then how can you be sure she ran off with someone else?"

Wang Ning squinted his eyes, "I saw that person from afar, laughing and chatting with my wife, clearly not a good person."

"And then she disappeared soon after, everything of hers at home was tidied away, and she never came back. What else could it be but running off with someone else?"

His words had many loopholes upon closer consideration. But it was a common occurrence in that era, so at the start, they didn’t think much of it.

During the momentary pause, Mu Yunchu’s voice came from all around.

"You’re lying."

"She didn’t run off with someone, you killed her."

Wang Ning: !!!

His body stiffened for a moment, but soon returned to normal, hiding his panic with laughter, "You, female officer, really know how to joke."

"You’re saying I killed my wife? Why would I kill her out of the blue?"

The phone was still in Hu Chi’s hand, allowing Mu Yunchu to clearly see Wang Ning from her angle.

His brow bone prominent and stretched wide like a sword about to pierce the sky, an indication of a strong character, easily angered by trivial matters.

His rough brow shape and narrow gap suggested a narrow-minded nature, intolerant of others, easily angered by obstacles.

His low sunken temples and narrow forehead indicated an unfavored early path, possibly influenced by family background and other negative factors, leading to a twisted character, and extreme behavior.

Such a person... is most likely to act irreversibly on impulse.

At this point, her expression remained calm, but her voice was much heavier, "Because you believed she cheated on you."

Wang Ning: !!!

Then, Mu Yunchu gave no room for the other to argue, continuing on her own accord.

"You grew up in poverty, lacking love at home, only because your father was a drunkard. From your earliest memories, your surroundings were filled with cries, shouts, and the sound of bottles rolling on the ground."

Hearing such accurate depictions of his childhood experiences startled Wang Ning.

He even began to wonder if this person knew him.

"Because your childhood environment was like this, it caused your personality to be flawed, not talkative, easily angered. Even in elementary school, you once seriously injured a classmate over a joke."

Back then, Wang Ning was only ten years old.

"You lived in a small village, so any incident would quickly spread. Gradually, peers became apprehensive of approaching you, while you grew increasingly isolated, living like this for over a decade."

Wang Ning’s complexion worsened.

No one knew if it was because Mu Yunchu had hit a nerve with his childhood memories, or if recalling those unpleasant experiences caused it.

But whatever the reason, he couldn’t find the words to deny anything now.

"Perhaps venturing into society gradually taught you to hide these sharp edges. Or perhaps because you met someone you liked—your future wife, helping you gradually act like a normal person."

"In the early years of your marriage, you enjoyed a period of happiness. But after two years, it was completely shattered by a man."

"Enough!" Wang Ning loudly interrupted, unwilling to hear any more about that woman, "Don’t say any more!"

Zhou Zhicheng and the others noticed, whenever his wife was mentioned, Wang Ning’s reaction was extreme.

Such an intense reaction, had alerted the surrounding officers to something amiss.

"No matter how much nonsense you spout, it doesn’t prove I’ve committed a crime!"

Wang Ning shouted.

He didn’t know where Mu Yunchu was, so he could only look around himself. This only increased his panic.

But Mu Yunchu paid him no mind.

Continuing to stimulate that tight string in his brain.

Because only then would the other reveal their weaknesses.

"You often saw them together, laughing. You couldn’t accept her looking at another person, you wanted to keep her trapped at home, but your single income couldn’t support the family."

Mu Yunchu paused, "In the end, in a moment of impulse, you killed her and dismembered her body, telling everyone she ran off with someone."

Wang Ning: ...

He was silent for a moment.

Then, completely different from his earlier fury.

He no longer denied Mu Yunchu’s words, instead chuckling softly, "You’ve said so much, but do you have any evidence?"

"Without a body, how can you accuse me of murder?"

Mu Yunchu’s tone was casual, but her words were startling to the other.

"Who said the body can’t be found?"
