The so-called closest and most distant husband and wife.
Si Yingmei and her husband have been married for ten years. Although their relationship is not very romantic, it can be considered harmonious and loving among many families with business marriages.
No matter how reasonable her husband's excuses were—yes, since he couldn't have children, why couldn't he treat Congcong as his own child—Si Yingmei knew that he was indeed capable of doing such a thing.
"Yingmei, please believe me." Si's brother-in-law tried his best to defend himself, "It has nothing to do with me."
Second Sister Si pursed her lips and looked at Jian Jing.
Jian Jing understood and began to analyze: "The nanny said that the child went to the skate park on a whim. Without his father's consent, he would not have been able to go there many times. If the kidnappers were to make a judgment based on observation, they would definitely prefer the place they go to more often."
Si's brother-in-law asked, "Why couldn't he have followed her all the way and attacked her suddenly?"
"The car avoided a lot of surveillance cameras and must have stepped on it. This was a pre-planned move, and the one who could influence Congcong's behavior must be either the nanny or the father." Jian Jing said slowly, "So, I have always suspected that there is a traitor in your family, but I can't be completely sure."
"So, I set a trap and made Ms. Si change her jewelry to antiques. I don't think the kidnappers are so powerful that they can investigate her private collection clearly, right?"
Si's brother-in-law resisted stubbornly: "He originally wanted jewelry, and antiques are hard to sell. Is this considered evidence?"
"It's a trap. I'm telling you, I found the suspect in People's Park and decided to chase him down to see what's going on. This is fake. I predicted that he would send someone or an accomplice to create confusion, so I deceived you. He received false information from a traitor and knew that we had no other help, so he went to Sakura Avenue to collect the ransom.
"To verify this guess, we just need to investigate the number of drones he purchased. If there are indeed more than one, then this will prove my idea, right?"
Jian Jing asked back, not expecting an answer, and then said, "Of course, these are specious. What really makes me sure that you want to kill him is food poisoning. This way of killing someone is extremely unreasonable.
"If the kidnappers wanted to kill the child to prevent him from revealing his information after being rescued, they should have resolved the matter decisively, rather than putting down a bowl of stale rice noodles and betting on the possibility of poisoning. This will only anger the family and force you to call the police and avenge the child."
Brother-in-law Si sneered, "Your excuse is too far-fetched. I think he just bought some stale rice noodles and didn't eat them himself, so Congcong ate them by mistake."
"You are making up excuses. The kidnapper starved the child to buy time to escape. Why would he go to the trouble of leaving a bowl of rice noodles for the child to fill his stomach? Was he being kind? Would a kind person put a few drops of rice noodles in the bowl?"
Her three consecutive questions were well-reasoned and left Brother-in-law Si speechless.
Jian Jing said: "I think the kidnapper kidnapped and killed the child according to the employer's request, but he was cautious and didn't want to bear the consequences. After all, the sentencing for murder and kidnapping is very different. So, he thought of a trick and deliberately let the child starve, and placed a bowl of problematic food to lure him to eat it."
"You fucking ..." Si Yingjie couldn't stand it anymore and rushed over to grab his collar, "Are you a human being? If you don't want the child, just divorce me. My Si family can't afford to raise a child? Why do you have to do this?"
Brother-in-law Si pried open his fingers without saying a word, a cruel look flashing in his eyes.
Jian Jing no longer paid attention to him. When she went back today to report Congcong's information, his identity was already certain in her eyes. She just turned to Si Erjie and said, "Except for the video just now, there is no other evidence at present. The police need to collect evidence and conduct further investigation. Calling the police is just covering it up. You can do it yourself."
Sister Si didn't give a direct answer, but asked her husband, "Why?"
Brother-in-law Si was silent.
She pressed him, "We are husband and wife, and you don't even care about our feelings?"
"I'm doing this for my own feelings." Si's brother-in-law said, "Yingmei, whether you believe it or not, I have never thought of divorcing you."
Si Yingmei was stunned, and understood everything. He could not accept a child that did not belong to him, but he also hoped that the marriage between the two families would not be affected.
The best way is to let Congcong die "accidentally".
He is "saving" this marriage.
Si Yingmei closed her eyes and left the ward to make a phone call.
After the call was connected, she whispered, "Dad, I..."
Jian Jing rolled her eyes and complained in her heart: This is really an arranged marriage. Even calling the police requires considering the impact and seeking the opinion of the head of the family.
Fortunately, the Si family was not too disappointing. Soon, Si's second sister came back and said in a straightforward manner: "You should get ready to find a lawyer. I have called the police."
That's about right.
Jian Jing took a deep breath, kicked the bed with her foot, and said angrily: "Hey, get up and work."
When the kidnapper opened his eyes, he saw the police in uniform. He knew that the situation was irreversible, so he immediately chose to cooperate and betrayed Si's brother-in-law.
It turned out that he and Si's brother-in-law were college alumni, and both were members of the basketball club.
Half a year ago, he was fired by the security company for some illegal operations. Later, he accidentally met Si's brother-in-law. After learning about his past work, Si's brother-in-law deliberately approached him and revealed the news of the child in secret.
The kidnappers understood what was going on and secretly planned the kidnapping.
He originally thought that his old classmate just wanted to take revenge on his cheating wife, but when he failed, Si's brother-in-law called him again and hinted to him that "if the child is gone, the thing I'm worried about won't happen."
The person has been kidnapped. What if he changes his mind and his old classmates sell him out
The kidnapper was in a dilemma, and he really wanted to get the 200 million yuan, so he wanted to do it. But as Jian Jing said, he had selfish motives in his heart, and the crime of murder was not light, so he had to think of a way to have the best of both worlds.
That's why they decided to let him "accidentally eat" moldy rice noodles to create the illusion of manslaughter.
Everything was going smoothly.
He has been working in the security company for eight years. He has excellent physical fitness, outstanding anti-reconnaissance ability, and a good understanding of various techniques. With the help of an insider, he claims that there is no big problem for him, and he doesn't even have any accomplices.
Who would have thought that he would be followed on the road and knocked down directly!
Oh my god.
On the other hand, Brother-in-law Si confessed his "difficulties".
He did not admit to murder, but only to planning the kidnapping, saying that he had no intention of harming the child: "I waited so long for my son, but the DNA test showed that he was not my biological son. If it were you, would you be able to bear this? I was just angry and wanted to take revenge on my wife."
As for why he didn't divorce, he said that he couldn't bear to give up the relationship he had with his wife for ten years, and that he got along very well with his father-in-law's family, so both sets of parents would not agree.
The police recorded it truthfully, and it is up to the judge whether to believe it or not.
Anyway, Jian Jing's work has been completed.
She returned the jewels worth 200 million yuan and blackmailed Si Yingjie bluntly: "Please treat me to a meal."
Si Yingjie: “Oh!”
Then he called Kang Mucheng to accompany him.
Kang Mucheng then realized that she had done it again - uh, why again... Never mind, it doesn't matter, anyway, she had done something brave and righteous again.
Today, this news can no longer make Mr. Kang raise his eyebrows. He can only say a simple sentence: "Eat more."
Jian Jing was not polite when blackmailing Si Yingjie, and chose a Japanese restaurant with an average cost of 5,000 per person. The environment was beautiful and quiet, with dry landscapes, kimono women, and shamisen, and it had a very strong Japanese atmosphere.
She ate and complained, "If they are not her own children, she will kidnap and kill them. Being cuckolded is really a lifelong pain for men."
Kang Mucheng & Si Yingjie: "..."
The freshly fried tempura was served, with the batter fried till golden brown.
She angrily picked up a shrimp and ate it, and gave a very sincere advice: "Don't be too obsessed with reproduction. Personal genes are not that important."
"Haha." Si Yingjie laughed dryly and changed the subject, "Mucheng, when will Jingjing's new book be published?"
"The new book will be out early, but the movie will be out soon." Kang Mucheng replied.
Si Yingjie was shocked: "Oh my, Jingjing has made it big and is even in a movie? What movie is it?"
Kang Mucheng: "The Haunted House Adventure: Deep in the Jungle."
Si Yingjie was confused: "What the hell?"
“A cameo in a variety movie.”
Si Yingjie: “Oh.”
Jian Jing was not very happy: "What does oh mean?"
"What I mean is, I will definitely watch it and I will book the entire theater to watch it." Si Yingjie laughed.
Jian Jing was annoyed. She opened the menu next to her and ordered a few of the most expensive dishes. She also added a top-level geisha performance, which cost 30,000 yuan for 20 minutes.
Si Yingjie felt like a big brother and didn't take it seriously: "It's not authentic, but if Jingjing likes to watch it, then watch it. I don't mind the money."
Jian Jing: I hate rich second generation.
She wants to be a rich second generation qaq
After having a good meal and a good drink, Si Yingjie went out to have fun alone, while Kang Mucheng sent Jian Jing home.
But before that, I have to go to Kang's house to pick up the knight.
Since I'm already there, I might as well go take a look around my new home.
The villa that Jian Jing bought has been renovated for several months, and the hard decoration has been almost completed. Today is a good opportunity to go over and see the results.
The water and electricity lines have all been laid out, the lights are turned on, and the room that is halfway through construction immediately comes into view.
The tiled room was already in good shape, with a British style that matched the exterior of the house. As it had not yet been furnished, at first glance it looked as if one had returned to an English countryside a hundred years ago.
"It will be more modern after it's done." Jian Jing walked to the window and looked around. Suddenly she smiled and said, "Boss Kang, look, is that your house over there?"
Kang Mucheng went over to take a look, and it was really the terrace of his house.
"The garden and the wall haven't been built yet, so they may not be visible by then." She thought about it and said, "But you can definitely see it from the terrace upstairs. Do you want to go up and take a look?"
He nodded and asked casually, "How was it arranged?"
"Downstairs is the living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. I also added a cafe and half a dog house, which is connected to the outside as a room for the knight." Jian Jing shared her ideas, "Upstairs is the study, bedroom, and a reasoning room."
Kang Mucheng was puzzled: "What reasoning room?"
"This way." She turned into the room at the end of the corridor.
Kang Mucheng saw the red printed wallpaper and the antique black fireplace.
At first glance it looked tacky, but the colour was very familiar... "Baker Street?" he remembered.
Jian Jing nodded happily: "Yes."
"Then, my study will be used exclusively for writing. I will store all the cases I have handled and the information I have collected in this room, just like Sherlock Holmes." She pointed vaguely, "Put two high-backed chairs here, one is mine and the other is Watson's... Uh, how about putting an easy chair here?"
It's a long way from being soft-furnished, but she's already started to worry about the details.
Kang Mucheng shook his head, too lazy to comment on her fan mentality.
He went out for a walk and found the study was quite standard, bright and spacious with a good view. It faced the garden and the gate, so when he got tired of writing, he could gaze into the distance at any time.
The bedroom faces the opposite direction. Standing on the terrace, you can see the corner of the park not far away, which is more quiet and private.
"What do you think?" Jian Jing asked for advice.
Kang Mucheng thought for a moment and suddenly asked, "Didn't you plan a second bedroom?"
Jian Jing was surprised: "What do you need a second bedroom for?"
Kang Mucheng looked at her and sighed: "Nothing."
