The police officers paid no attention to Wang Xiaoliu's journaling, instead curiously taking the notebook from Qin Bingran's hand.
"Captain Qin Bingran, we'd like to examine Wang Xiaoliu's diary."
"Here you go!"
The officers opened the diary and found it meticulously detailed with dates, times, and locations, leaving no stone unturned.
"My goodness! This guy had been planning for a month before he even started. He scouted locations for a solid month!"
"Incredible, he survived in the mountains for over a month!"
Well, these officers weren't much different from the old hands; their focus was on how long Wang Xiaoliu had stayed in the wilderness.
As they flipped through the pages, Wang Xiaoliu's thoughts gradually became clear to them.
He showed no remorse for poisoning the villagers of Mopan Gou Village, his own neighbors.
His diary explained: "With Li Qingfeng in Mopan Gou Village, the villagers have started revolving around her. He's been marginalized, so I want revenge on him!"
"I want to ruin Li Qingfeng's reputation, I want revenge on him! Revenge on him! Revenge on him!"
He wrote "revenge" a full three times in the diary, emphasizing its importance.
"So, this is the motive for the crime, but isn't it a bit rash?"
The officers were somewhat shocked by this motive.
The criminal's motive seemed utterly unreasonable.
"Now you believe me, right?"
Seeing the officers gasp in surprise, Qin Bingran quickly reminded them.
Indeed, after she spoke, the officers all nodded with a smile.
None of them doubted Wang Xiaoliu's decision to keep a diary, and they now believed that what was written was the truth.
The truth was, many criminals now enjoyed documenting their crimes.
Wang Xiaoliu was one of them; he still believed that the police wouldn't find him.
However, after Qin Bingran tricked him out of the bar, he began to doubt his own plan.
"Alright, arrest him and take him to the interrogation room," Li Xuelin commanded.
"Yes, Deputy Director!"
Upon hearing his words, the nearby officers saluted and took Wang Xiaoliu away.
The rest of the procedure was straightforward. Wang Xiaoliu was immediately taken to the interrogation room.
He remained silent about the crimes he had committed, for reasons unknown. He simply wouldn't say a word.
Consequently, Qin Bingran and Li Qingfeng were summoned.
The officer in charge of the interrogation said helplessly to Li Qingfeng and Qin Bingran, "I don't know what's wrong with this guy, his lips are sealed shut. You two should handle it!"
"Leave it to me!" Qin Bingran said confidently, patting his shoulder.
Hearing Qin Bingran's confident words, the interrogating officer gave her a thumbs-up.
They knew that this man was apprehended entirely by Qin Bingran.
They were genuinely impressed.
Wang Xiaoliu had left no trace at the scene; who would suspect a migrant worker?
The two entered the interrogation room. At this point, Wang Xiaoliu finally reacted, looking up at Qin Bingran and then at Li Qingfeng behind her.
"They're here!"
His voice was hoarse, and he spoke without any surprise.
"Of course, thanks to you, I've been at the police station for almost the entire night."
Looking at the man before her, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but say.
If it weren't for this guy, he wouldn't be the center of attention right now.
"You deserve it. Who told you to cut off our source of income?"
To Li Qingfeng's surprise, even at this point, Wang Xiaoliu showed no remorse.
Not only did he not repent, but he also shouted loudly.
"I deserve it? What about the villagers? They're just ordinary people! What did they do to you?"
"Dare you say that none of the people who ate that day were your relatives or friends? Are you sure what you did was right?"
Li Qingfeng retorted loudly, looking at Wang Xiaoliu.
Indeed, upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoliu fell silent.
Actually, after he put paraquat in the wine that day, Wang Xiaoliu had started to regret it. After all, he only hated Li Qingfeng.
But his actions could have led to the deaths of countless villagers.
"I'm sorry to them, I deserve to die!"
"I'm sorry to them..."
Wang Xiaoliu's emotions suddenly fluctuated drastically, and he repeatedly banged his head against the table, apologizing incessantly.
Seeing him like this, Qin Bingran said, "Hold him! Make sure nothing happens to him in the interrogation room."
"Don't worry! One silver needle will fix it."
Li Qingfeng said directly and inserted a needle into Wang Xiaoliu's shoulder.
Indeed, after he inserted the silver needle, Wang Xiaoliu instantly calmed down.
"We'll ask questions now, and you'll answer. Do you understand?" Qin Bingran asked.
Wang Xiaoliu nodded.
Seeing this, Qin Bingran reassuringly continued her questioning.
"Your criminal motive is clearly stated in the diary, but there's one thing I don't understand. Paraquat is now a controlled substance. Where did you get it?"
This was what she couldn't figure out, as she had searched for a long time and couldn't find any record of paraquat being sold.
To Qin Bingran's question, Wang Xiaoliu fell silent.
However, he soon said, "I bought the paraquat!"
"Where did you buy it from?"
"Two years ago, I bought it on the black market. Paraquat was very effective back then for killing weeds directly, so I bought a bottle."
Listening to his explanation, Qin Bingran nodded.
She took out a pen and wrote down most of the details and Wang Xiaoliu's crimes on the record.
Then, she handed the record and the pen to Wang Xiaoliu and said, "Take a look at the record. If there are no errors, you can sign it."
Wang Xiaoliu took the record, glanced at it, and immediately wrote his name on it.
"I have no objections. Can I be sent in now?"
"Don't worry, your wish will definitely be granted."
Qin Bingran agreed 100% to such a small request from this man.
"Zhuang Ruizhen, it's all yours."
"Yes, Captain, I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
Pulling Li Qingfeng out of the interrogation room, Qin Bingran saw Zhuang Ruizhen standing by the door and directly handed the task over to him.
Zhuang Ruizhen dared not be careless with the task assigned by the beautiful captain, and immediately took Wang Xiaoliu to the city bureau's jail.
This man had to be strictly guarded before his sentence was handed down.
Meanwhile, Li Qingfeng was finally free.
Since the true culprit had been found, there was no reason to detain him any longer. Li Xuelin directly ordered his release, wanting him out of sight and out of mind.
Li Wanchao was very unhappy with this outcome, as he knew that once Li Qingfeng left the premises, he would be even less likely to obey him.
However, after seeing Li Qingfeng's gaze, his idea of finding trouble immediately vanished.
He thought that this person was someone he couldn't afford to offend.
"Forget it!"
"As long as you don't bother him, you two will have no further interaction."
Uncle Liu, the old police officer beside him, saw the root cause and advised Li Wanchao.
Indeed, after hearing his words, Li Wanchao finally came to his senses.
Right.
He would have no further interaction with Li Qingfeng in the future, so why should he care so much about him?
And so, Li Qingfeng safely exited the city bureau.
