South to North: A Prison Guard at the Beginning

"Auntie, please accept my condolences. We didn't want this to happen, but our most important task now is to catch the murderer, don't you agree?" Yuan Mu consoled her.

The old lady wiped her tears and nodded.

"Auntie, has Tan Hui come back recently?"

"No, isn't he in Ningyang?" the old lady said in surprise.

Yuan Mu and Ming Yu looked at each other. It turned out that the old lady didn't know about Tan Hui's disappearance.

He asked the old lady about the situation, went into the house to take a look, and then the two of them left.

"Brother Mu, where are we going next?" Mingyu took out a cigarette and handed it to Yuan Mu and asked.

"We're not going anywhere. We'll just wait near his house." Yuan Mu took the cigarette and lit it.

"You mean Tan Hui will come over in the evening?" Mingyu frowned.

"It is very possible. Tan Hui has a very high chance of committing the crime. He also has sufficient motives. We have also investigated the locomotive section. He also has the time to commit the crime."

"So, now that he has bought a ticket to Linji, there is a high probability that he will go there for a visit." Yuan Mu analyzed.

"Okay, let's stay here tonight." Mingyu nodded.

The sky gradually darkened. Yuan Mu and Ming Yu hid in a corner near Wei's house, waiting to see if Tan Hui would come.

It was late at night, and the weather was still nice for August. It was not a severe winter, but it was still a bit cold.

Yuan Mu raised his hand to look at the watch. It was already twelve:05 in the middle of the night. Yuan Mu was very patient, so this was nothing to him.

At this moment, a figure slowly walked towards them from the east. With the help of the moonlight, Yuan Mu could see the figure looking around from time to time. Yuan Mu instantly became alert.

Mingyu was on the other side and probably could see it too, but without a cell phone, it was very inconvenient for the two of them to work together.

Soon, the figure arrived at the door of the Wei family. He looked around, then climbed over the wall and entered the yard.

Seeing this, Yuan Mu hurried over. Mingyu also caught up at this time. The two looked at each other, and then climbed over the wall together, only to see that the figure had already reached the window.

"What are you doing!!" Yuan Mu shouted, then quickly ran towards the figure, with Mingyu following closely behind.

The figure was frightened out of his wits by the shout and was at a loss what to do. Yuan Mu stepped forward and held him down.

"Be honest with me!"

Mingyu stepped forward, took out handcuffs, and handcuffed his hands directly.

"You've caught the wrong person!!" A man's voice came from the figure below, shouting anxiously.

Yuan Mu was delighted at that time.

"How do you know we caught the wrong person? Get up!" Yuan Mu said, pulling the man up.

At this time, the lights in the house came on, and the two neighbors next door were also woken up and turned on their lights.

"Who is it! Who's outside?" The voice of an old lady came from inside the house.

"Auntie, it's us, the police who came to your house this morning." Mingyu spoke quickly.

"Oh!" Hearing the familiar voice, the old lady opened the door.

With the help of the light coming through the house, Yuan Mu saw the man's face clearly. It was Tan Hui!

The old lady first looked at Yuan Mu and Ming Yu, and then saw Tan Hui who was caught by them.

"Xiaohui, why are you here? Police comrade, why are you arresting my son-in-law?" The old lady hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"Mom! Save me!" Tan Hui cried out as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.

"Shut up! You still have the nerve to call me mom! Did you kill Wei Honghua?" Yuan Mu asked harshly.

Hearing this, Tan Hui stopped crying, but his heart was beating wildly, as if it would jump out at any moment.

When the old lady heard this, she was stunned and froze.

"Comrade police, could you be mistaken? Why would Xiaohui kill my daughter?"

"Auntie, we can't give you an answer for this matter for the time being. We have to take people back to Ningyang immediately and will give you a reply as soon as possible. Mingyu, let's go!" Yuan Mu said, turned around and left with Tan Hui.

"Mom! Mom! Please save me!" Tan Hui was still unwilling to leave, and kept leaning back and wailing loudly.

"Go! If it wasn't you who did it, we'll let you go!"

After Yuan Mu and Ming Yu took Tan Hui away, the neighbors came over to ask questions, but the old lady didn't listen to a word they said.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

The scene changed and they came to the interrogation room of the Criminal Police Team of the Ningyang Railway Public Security Branch.

"Where were you on July 30th?" Yuan Mu sat at the interrogation table and stared at Tan Hui and asked.

"I...I..." After mumbling for a long time, Tan Hui still couldn't make out what was going on. Now he was very confused.

"Tell me! Did you kill Wei Honghua?" Mingyu slammed the table and yelled.

"I, I didn't, I didn't kill him!" Tan Hui covered his head and shouted excitedly.

"Tan Hui, you were bitten by Wei Honghua when you killed her, right? Although you cleaned up the scene, took away the murder weapon, and didn't even leave fingerprints, you probably didn't know that technology has advanced now."

"The blood you left on Wei Honghua has been taken for testing, and the results are out now. It is type A blood. Your wife's blood type is type O, and your blood type happens to be type A. How do you explain it?" Yuan Mu walked up to Tan Hui and said lightly.

Tan Hui was visibly panicked, and Yuan Mu suddenly took a step forward and rolled up his sleeve, revealing a scabbed wound in the shape of a tooth mark.

"Tan Hui! How can you quibble?!" Yuan Mu pointed at Tan Hui's arm and yelled.

Tan Hui closed his eyes immediately, and a line of tears rolled down his cheeks.

"I admit that I was the one who killed Wei Honghua."

"Then why did you kill her?" Mingyu looked at him and asked.

In fact, after Tan Hui was arrested, he and Yuan Mu knew that Tan Hui was the murderer. Everything matched up and the interrogation was just a process.

"This bitch! I was so good to her, but she cheated on me behind my back!!" Tan Hui opened his eyes again and shouted with red eyes.

"But what will happen if you kill her? Haven't you thought about your child?" Yuan Mu walked back to the chair and sat down.

"That bastard! It's not even certain if he's mine! I suspect he belongs to that adulterer!"

"This adulterer is really treacherous. He ran away early, otherwise I would have killed him too!" Tan Hui said gritting his teeth.

"Then what are you doing in Lingji this time? Is it to kill your father-in-law and mother-in-law as well?" Yuan Mu lit a cigarette and continued to ask.

"How is that possible? They were very kind to me. I just wanted to see them again. I heard that my father-in-law was ill, so I wanted to see them again. I went to the south, but I didn't expect to be caught by you guys before I knew it."

A murder case of love was finally solved. It took more than a month and spanned multiple provinces. If the transportation could be more convenient, the case would be solved faster.
