Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again

Chapter 1982: Chapter 1980: Justice Will Prevail

Gu Qiaoqiao saw the situation was about right, so she took the furiously angry Chen Cheng to another room.

Next, it would depend on Officer Zheng; hopefully, he would believe what Chen Lanxiu said.

When Gu Qiaoqiao led Chen Cheng and others away, the room naturally returned to silence, while Wang You still sat limply on the cold floor, seemingly unaware of anything.

Before leaving, Gu Qiaoqiao had already placed a Truth Talisman on Wang You. One of the junior officers circled around the table and helped Wang You back into his chair, since now they were cooperating with the investigation, not conducting an interrogation, so all three treated him with courtesy.

Although the situation in the room was clearly very strange, not to mention Officer Zheng, even the other two junior officers had never seen anyone lose their composure like this.

His loss of composure seemed as if he saw something terrifying in the air. The two junior officers also felt an eerie chill, but they, after all, couldn’t see anything, so they could only temporarily suppress what they had just witnessed.

However, the work that needed to be done must continue.

At this moment, Wang You seemed much calmer, but his face was still as pale as a sheet, without a trace of color, cold sweat on his forehead, and his hands trembling uncontrollably.

He never imagined that he would see the already deceased Chen Cheng here, and clearly, only he could see him while others could not.

Just then, he heard Officer Zheng’s gentle voice, "Director Wang, can you tell me what really happened back then?"

If it weren’t for the Truth Talisman, if it weren’t for Chen Cheng’s spiritual body seeking revenge, the seasoned Wang You would never have told the truth. What he would have said was just the story agreed upon before with Jiang Jianjun.

By following the normal procedures, he would repeat the events of that year again, and regarding the skeleton matter, he and Jiang Jianjun had already joined forces, of course claiming to know nothing.

After all, at that time the two of them were injured and unable to move in the car, so naturally, they claimed to know nothing about what happened to Chen Cheng.

At this point, their outside story had to be completely unified, with no room for any leaks. If there was a leak, they both would be finished, something they both clearly understood, so in his mind, he kept repeating their unanimous story.

But when Wang You heard Officer Zheng’s question, what he blurted out was, "Back then, Jiang Jianjun and I killed Chen Cheng together."

The two junior officers stood stunned, their eyes wide open.

Officer Zheng’s eyes widened with surprise, his right hand tightly gripping the pen in his hand.

The case of the chemical plant cashier Chen Cheng’s embezzlement and escape 20 years ago was brought to light in the winter 20 years later.

It turned out that Chen Cheng had been killed by those two security officers, one of whom was his schoolmate and friend, now a renowned figure in Wangbei County Town, Jiang Jianjun.

The two of them were in different rooms cooperating with the investigation, but in the end, this cooperation turned into an interrogation. Their confessions were the same, and from both of their houses, the remaining money was found.

This huge sum of money, which they had managed to seize at the time, was secretly agreed to be spent cautiously and quietly, so no one noticed that they had an illegitimate source of income.

Later, during the Reform and Opening Up, Jiang Jianjun took a leave from work to do business, so his money had a legitimate source. Later, Wang You would brag to everyone that his brother Jiang Jianjun had got rich and gave him a generous sum of money.

Although such words were nonsense and false, back then, they seemed quite credible.

However, the money from 20 years ago is now barely worth anything and little remains, with the rest marked with blood. Logically they should have been destroyed, but somehow they were kept, perhaps out of arrogance, knowing there were no witnesses and believing they would never be discovered.

Thus, as they say, the net of heaven is vast, nothing escapes; repeated wrongdoings lead to self-destruction.

A trap set 20 years ago, they finally fell into it 20 years later, burying themselves with their own hands.

Witnesses and evidence were all complete, and the case caused a sensation in Wangbei County Town.

The townsfolk discussed intensely, with endless sighs.

Everyone cursed Wang You and Jiang Jianjun for their heinousness yet hypocritical pretense, and those who had been friends with them broke out in a cold sweat, realizing that this person was a murderer, affecting not only themselves but also their families, relatives, and children.

These were their family members, who had never imagined this.

Even the closest wives didn’t know their husbands were murderers, and had killed someone they all knew.

Like a domino effect, a series of chain reactions occurred swiftly. However, no one cared much about what their families were like; everyone was talking about the unjustly dead Chen Cheng and the Chen family’s enduring hardships and unfair treatment.

The Chen family residing in Tianba Village was immersed in grief but also received care and condolences from all sides.

Old neighbors who had not been in contact for years came, as did former bosses and colleagues.

Therefore, not just in Tianba Village, but Wangbei County Town had been occupied with this topic for days, so when Qin Fang and his wife returned, naturally, they talked about these matters with Gu Qiaoqiao.

Then Gu Qiaoqiao learned that once it was confirmed these two were the murderers, the accusations against Chen Cheng were naturally cleared, and what belonged to him should be returned, along with compensation.

The house confiscated years ago was returned to them, but since the area had been relocated, they were allotted a new apartment over 80 square meters, situated on the first floor considering the household’s medical needs, and the appropriate department issued compensation to Chen Cheng according to regulations.

However, moving and collecting compensation, all the tedious matters couldn’t be completed in just a day or two, and Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t remain there indefinitely with her uncle.

After the truth of the case came to light, with Officer Zheng coordinating, the Chen Lanxiu family wouldn’t suffer any losses.

They would receive the due treatment and compensation, and Chen Lanxiu’s life would gradually improve.

Justice, though delayed, would eventually prevail.

Before leaving, Gu Qiaoqiao pretended to be Chen Lanxiu’s classmate’s cousin and went with Chen Lanxiu to the Chen family in Tianba Village.

Although the new house had been allocated to them, it couldn’t be moved into right away, the two elders still needed to tidy up here. Though they were still grieving and suffering, under everyone’s care, they were already feeling much better.
