Chapter 607: Suicide is fake
Liu He seemed afraid that Lin Zhiyi wouldn't believe it, so she explained in a hurry.
"Zhiyi, please believe me! I really didn't mean it! I don't know why my watch was ten minutes slow. When I arrived, Xiaoyun was gone."
She kept repeating this sentence, her face full of sad tears.
Lin Zhiyi also panicked and subconsciously looked at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen grabbed Liu He's hand and pinched the tiger's mouth a few times.
Liu He felt pain and wrinkled her cheeks, and finally she became a little more sober.
Lin Zhiyi poured her a cup of warm water: "Mom, drink some water first. If you have anything to say, tell us slowly. We are not here to accuse you. It's just that there have been a lot of things happening recently, and we want to find out the truth."
After drinking the water, Liu He calmed down a lot.
She took a deep breath and said, "Wei Xiaoyun's suicide was actually a plan we both came up with."
Lin Zhiyi was stunned for a moment: "Why do you do this?"
Liu He said that Wei Xiaoyun was very capable and positive, and encouraged her to continue her studies.
Such a person doesn't seem like someone who would commit suicide if something happened.
Gong Chen thought of something and said calmly, "Escape from debt."
Liu He looked at him, as if to show that nothing could be hidden from him.
"Xiao Yun is the most popular among our customers, so she makes the most money and lives a very comfortable life."
"It was also at that time that I met a boss in the store who was on a business trip to Beijing."
"At first she decisively rejected him, but he didn't give up. Not only did he extend his business trip in Beijing, he also came to accompany Xiaoyun every day. He was handsome and gentlemanly."
"As time went by, people started gossiping more and more, so Xiaoyun could only agree to have dinner with him, but before she left, she said she just wanted to make things clear with the man."
"Who knew that after the meal, Xiaoyun said that she finally found a man who understood her."
"But not long after they were together, the man ran into a debt crisis."
"Xiao Yun gave him all the money she had saved. The man was quite kind and wrote an IOU."
"After the crisis was over, he gave Xiaoyun double the money, and Xiaoyun decided that the man really loved and respected her. Not long after, the two began talking about marriage, and they even paid a deposit for the new house."
"I also thought she had found a good man. But I didn't expect that a few days before the wedding, something went wrong at the man's company."
"In order to help him through the difficult times, Xiaoyun gave him all her assets and even borrowed a lot of money for him."
"The man left an IOU and never came back. We went to the police station to question him and found out that his ID card was fake and the IOU was not valid at all."
"But the money Xiaoyun borrowed for him was real, and she..."
As Liu He was speaking, her voice suddenly stopped.
He held Lin Zhiyi's hand a little tighter.
Lin Zhiyi thought she was not feeling well, so she approached her nervously and asked worriedly, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay." Liu He pursed her lips and continued, "Later, Xiaoyun and I scraped together and finally paid back the money she borrowed."
"I thought my life would return to normal, but out of nowhere a bunch of people showed up every day to collect debts. Sometimes they even blocked the mall, which seriously affected Xiaoyun's work. Later we found out that the man also used Xiaoyun's identity to borrow a lot of high-interest loans."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi and Gong Chen looked at each other helplessly.
I immediately realized that Wei Xiaoyun had encountered a professional liar.
Lin Zhiyi asked, "Mom, what happened next?"
Liu He recalled the past and sighed deeply.
"We couldn't pay back the money because of the interest, so Xiaoyun thought of a way to get out of this situation, faking her own death."
"As long as the loan sharks thought she was dead, they would stop asking her for money. She had no relatives, so there was no way to confront them."
"We agreed on a time to call the police that day. When the police arrived and confirmed that she had committed suicide, the creditors would be helpless. But when I took the police there, I found that my watch was ten minutes slow and Xiaoyun was missing. Some people said that they saw her wandering on the shore for a long time, then turned around and jumped into the river."
Speaking of this, Liu He cried even more painfully.
"It was me who killed Xiao Yun. If I had paid more attention to the time, I would not have missed it!"
"She must have seen that I wasn't going and thought I wasn't going to help her, so she got so frustrated that she really committed suicide."
Lin Zhiyi interrupted immediately: "Mom, don't cry first, you said your watch is ten minutes slow?"
Liu He nodded, stood up and took out a very old watch from the drawer.
"When Xiaoyun was mentioned a few days ago, I took out my watch and looked at it. The more I thought about it, the sadder I felt."
Lin Zhiyi took a look at the watch and found that it was made with great craftsmanship.
Gong Chen reached out to take the watch and looked it up and down.
“This is a watch that looks great inside and out. It must have been very popular back then.”
Liu He nodded: "Yes. This watch is small and exquisite. It was especially popular among working women back then. Almost every fashionable woman had one. I saved money for a long time before buying it."
"Watches like this for working women, besides looking good, are also most important for being accurate. With such a large error, it won't be popular enough for everyone to own one," Gong Chen retorted.
"This... is indeed the case. Before Xiaoyun's accident, my watch had never gone wrong." Liu He said truthfully.
Gong Chen looked at his watch thoughtfully.
Lin Zhiyi leaned closer and asked, "Is there something wrong with the watch?"
"No, this is an old brand watch from Beijing. Let the master adjust it. I think it will still work." Gong Chen weighed the watch.
"Then what are you thinking about?"
"I was thinking, since everyone has one, does Wei Xiaoyun also have one?" Gong Chen said.
After hearing this, Liu He immediately nodded.
"She has one too. We went together to buy it for Women's Day. We can get a discount if we buy together."
Liu He's words suddenly reminded Lin Zhiyi of the police station list mentioned by Chen Jin.
It records the relics left by Wei Xiaoyun at the scene before his death.
ID card, suicide note, shoes, a silver ring and a pair of silver earrings.
The only thing not mentioned was the watch.
We all know to take off such delicate things as earrings, so why don’t we take off watches?
Lin Zhiyi quickly asked, "Mom, when you identified the body, were you sure you didn't see her wearing a watch?"
Liu He hesitated for a moment and closed his eyes.
Wei Xiaoyun’s death was something she would never be able to get over, so she remembered every detail of it very clearly.
"There was no watch. It was summer, and her body was bloated. Her skirt was gone. Could it be that she had bulged out and fell into the river?"
This is also possible.
It is said that many people who fell into the river and died were found naked while following the current.
Almost everything on my body fell off.
Not to mention wearing so thin clothes in summer.
Lin Zhiyi was silent.
The clue is broken.
Gong Chen sat on one side, his dark eyes slightly gloomy.
"Since the body is swollen, why do you think she must be Wei Xiaoyun?"
Liu He said without hesitation: "We went to the bathroom to take a bath together, and she showed me her birthmark. There can't be a body in the river with the same birthmark as hers, right?"
"Did she show it to you?" Lin Zhiyi questioned.
"Yes, she pointed it out to me."
"..."
Lin Zhiyi didn't say anything.
Right.
Liu He is so easy to fool at this age.
Not to mention those who are eighteen or nineteen years old.
Who would take a shower and show others the birthmark on their body?
Lin Zhiyi turned his head to look at Gong Chen. He nodded slightly, obviously understanding that Wei Xiaoyun did it on purpose.
But why did Wei Xiaoyun do this?
