Chapter 43 is actually like this.
"Aren't you angry?"
Li Ailian stared at Wu Song's face for a few seconds, then asked curiously.
"Why should I be angry?" Wu Song laughed.
Decades of vegetarianism and chanting Buddhist scriptures have not been in vain.
If she's going to get angry over something so trivial, she's probably overthinking it.
"It's rare to find someone so young yet so composed. No wonder they were able to find me before I turned myself in. I even said I'd wait until the baby was three months old before turning myself in." "How did you kill Zhang Weida?" Wu Song asked as he led Li Ailian out.
"I didn't kill him. I just wanted to see your reaction." Li Ailian shook her head.
"Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. He's certainly not a good person, and you'll get a beating for catching him."
I haven't been a good person for months, but he was still pretty good to me and even helped me get revenge, so I had no reason to kill him.
It was quite a coincidence; I woke up from a nap and he had sucked himself to death.
I didn't dare report it to the police, so I simply packed up and went back to Gotham. I rented a place and plan to turn myself in when my child is three months old.
"What about Leanne Li?"
"I killed her with my own hands." Li Ailian gritted her teeth, and the muscles on her face trembled slightly. "Everything I have now is thanks to her. I just don't understand. Her family is rich and has connections. Even if she didn't go to university, she could still live a good life. Why did she have to take this from me?"
No! They're not trying to take it from me!
They stole what rightfully belonged to me from my hands!
Does she know how important that college entrance exam was to me?
If she hadn't impersonated me back then, and I had gone to university instead, do you know what my life would be like?
I hate her!
Since things can't be undone, then she has no choice but to pay the price for her choices.
"Where is Liu Jianshe?" Wu Song continued to ask.
"I didn't kill him!" Li Ailian looked at Wu Song suspiciously. "Or are you saying that with that evidence, you could have executed him? Impossible. As for almost putting him in jail for more than ten years, he can't have children himself, but he beats me every day for that reason. Consider it a lesson for him."
"You're very knowledgeable about criminal law?"
"I've read quite a few books! I've studied them very hard these past few months!" Li Ailian nodded and said, "Officer, I can do good deeds. Zhang Weida committed a robbery of an armored truck in Gotham two years ago. I've heard him talk about it, and I know who his accomplices are and where they work."
"Did he lead the group in committing that case?" Wu Song frowned.
After the gun was found at Zhang Weida's house, the ballistics test was conducted in Shanghai, and a copy of the test report was sent to the Chengbei Branch of the Public Security Bureau.
They immediately compared the bullet casings left at the scene of the armored truck robbery two years ago.
Unfortunately, the comparison results showed that no bullet could be matched.
Everyone thought Zhang Weida wasn't behind the case.
So it really was him.
"Yes!" Li Ailian nodded. "You must have noticed that the gun and bullets don't match, right? The one he used two years ago wasn't the one from Shanghai. He only got the one from Shanghai last year. He gave the one before that to one of his accomplices."
"I see!"
Wu Song nodded.
After bringing Li Ailian to his motorcycle, Wu Song finally understood why the official motorcycles provided by the branch office were all sidecar motorcycles.
Even if the suspect is caught, they can't transport the goods using these two-wheeled motorcycles!
It's possible to handcuff the suspect to the back, but there are risks involved. What if the suspect decides to fight to the death, potentially endangering the people in front as well?
To avoid any accidents, Wu Song looked around and saw a small shop not far away. He then led Li Ailian to the shop, put 50 cents on the table in front of the shopkeeper, picked up the phone, and dialed the landline of the Third Squadron of the branch office.
The Major Crimes Unit has no days off; even on days off, someone is on duty in the office.
After two beeps, the call connected, and the familiar voice of Master Cao Dahua came through: "Hello, this is the Third Squadron of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Chengbei Branch Bureau."
"Master, it's me, Wu Song, I've caught Li Ailian."
"Oh, really? What?" Cao Dahua, who was sitting on the other end of the phone, took a full two seconds to react after hearing the news before jumping up, his face full of surprise and indescribable joy. "How did you catch him?"
"I rode my motorcycle around the streets all afternoon and happened to run into Li Ailian. But it's not convenient for me to take people back to the branch office on my motorcycle. Come and pick her up quickly. I'm about three or four hundred meters west of the intersection of Qinxian Street and Shengli Road."
"I'm coming right away! You wait over there, and be careful."
"rest assured."
After hanging up the phone, Wu Song led Li Ailian a little further away from the convenience store.
"You're amazing!" Li Ailian said. "I've disguised myself like this, and even my parents might not recognize me at first glance. Yet you recognized me. With your keen observation skills, you're destined for great things."
"You don't need to praise me. Tell me about Zhang Weida's accomplices. How many are there? What are their names? Where do they work?"
"Four accomplices. As for the others, I'd like to talk about them in the interrogation room, is that alright?"
"Whatever you want."
Wu Song glanced in other directions, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.
In the armored truck robbery in 95, there were only four robbers at the scene.
It seems there's still one survivor!
……
Twenty minutes later.
Cao Dahua and Jiang Yang, who were on duty at the team, each rode over on a motorcycle.
After getting off the motorcycle, the two stared at Li Ailian's face for several seconds. "It really is Li Ailian. What are you doing hiding in Gaotan? I thought you would run away to some unknown corner thousands of miles away and hide there."
"The cases I handle should always come to a close."
"Get him in the car!" Cao Dahua waved his hand, and Wu Song unlocked the handcuffs and re-handcuffed him to Cao Dahua's car.
"Wow! You actually managed to run into this, apprentice. You're really our team's lucky star." Cao Dahua's face crinkled with laughter.
"Hey, this is all thanks to your teachings, Master."
"You little rascal, you're trying to flatter me. Let's go, back to the team!" Cao Dahua patted Wu Song's arm, turned around and rode off on his motorcycle.
They encountered no accidents on the way, and Li Ailian did not try to escape. They were simply escorted back to the branch office.
As soon as I arrived at the branch office, the rest of the Third Squad, who had been temporarily called over, were already waiting at the entrance.
After confirming that the woman they had arrested was indeed Li Ailian, Xu Bin led the way and bumped fists with Wu Song. "Not bad, you really caught her. I almost thought this case was going to be shelved."
