I Became the Best Forensic Doctor After My Betrayal
Chapter 144 - 144 Suspicious Points144 Suspicious Points
“You’ve misunderstood.” Because Hu Jin was present, Shen Yin could not directly voice her suspicions or she might alert the enemy. She was forced to phrase her question discreetly. “We want to understand your daughter’s financial situation after her marriage.”
The old woman looked up at her in surprise. “Little Li was doing well. Ah Jin always brings many nice things to show his respect for us. My daughter is a teacher and my son-in-law is the boss of the company. Of course they have plenty of money.”
Shen Yin wanted to question her further, but Hu Jin hurriedly interrupted, “Dad, Mom, it seems that I would know more about this area that the police officers are interested in. You didn’t sleep well last night. Why don’t you go upstairs and sleep for a while? I’ll talk to the police.”
The old woman nodded without hesitation, as if she trusted her son-in-law very much. Her son-in-law helped her and her husband to the second floor to rest.
Tan Li’s family lived in a district with villas. Although it was not as big as the district in which the Lian Family lived, the area had plenty of rich people. It was hard to imagine that Tan Li’s husband lived in such a dilapidated building.
Moreover, judging from the situation, the two elderly people did not know about it.
Shen Yin and Zou Sheng looked at each other, preparing to use this as a breakthrough to find more clues.
Hu Jin quickly came downstairs and said with an apologetic smile, “Sorry to keep you waiting, Officers. My parents-in-law are not in good health. It’s such a minor matter, it doesn’t matter if I answer on their behalf.”
Shen Yin kept her face blank and nodded nonchalantly. “Thank you for your cooperation. Tan Li’s family seems to be very rich, but based on our understanding, the place the two of you live in is worlds apart from this place.”
“Oh, it’s like this.” Hu Jin rubbed his hands, looking completely natural. “Although Little Li and I aren’t rich, we do have some money. I lost my parents when I was young and grew up in an orphanage, so I tried to give the best of what I had to Tan Li’s parents.”
He pointed at the area surrounding the house and sighed. “Little Li and I saved up to buy this house for the two of them. Little Li often said that her parents worked very hard to raise her. After we discussed it, we decided to save up to buy a big house for the old people to live in.”
“Mr. Hu Jin and Miss Tan Li’s filial piety is very touching. Very few young people these days are willing to do such things for their parents.” Shen Yin first praised Hu Jin. When he let down his guard, she changed the topic and suddenly asked, “Have the two of them ever visited your house?”
“No, Little Li and I wouldn’t dare to let the old people find out. Otherwise, my parents-in-law wouldn’t be able to live here in peace.” Sadness flashed across Hu Jin’s face when he mentioned Tan Li.
Puzzled, Shen Yin asked, “But you had a house when you got married, right?”
Hu Jin was stunned for a moment before he nodded and said, “We did have a house. But my company had cash flow problems, so we sold the house. Later on, our lives gradually improved, so we bought a house for the two old folks first. We planned to save another sum of money to buy a new house, but we didn’t expect Little Li to…”
Hu Jin wept with grief. He took out a tissue and wiped his eyes apologetically. “Officers, I’m sorry. I really can’t accept that Little Li has left me just like that.”
“My condolences.” Shen Yin sighed. “I heard that you met your wife on a blind date. I thought that couples who meet on blind dates would be less attached to each other, but you and your wife had such a strong relationship. It’s really enviable.”
“What’s the use of envy?” Hu Jin let out a long sigh. His eyes were filled with fatigue, and the stubble on his chin had grown longer since the day that he visited the police station. He looked ten years older. “Little Li left with our child. It’s all my fault. If only I hadn’t worked overtime at the office that night.”
On the night of Tan Li’s incident, Hu Jin had been working overtime with his colleagues. He only returned home in the wee hours of the morning.
When he did not see his wife at home, Hu Jin searched anxiously all night. It was only in the morning that he thought of going to the police station to make a report. Instead, he received a notice from the police station asking him to identify a corpse.
“Did your wife have any conflicts with anyone?” Zou Sheng suddenly asked with a frown.
Hu Jin shook his head slowly. “Little Li was a kind person who never quarreled with others. The neighbors liked interacting with her. After she became pregnant, the neighbors often brought her all kinds of treats to improve her health.”
“Alright, Mr. Hu. We’ve gotten everything we need.” Shen Yin put away the recorder and stood up to leave.
When she reached the door, Shen Yin suddenly turned around. As if she had just thought of something, she batted her eyes and asked, “Do you know Teacher Wang Gang from Experimental Primary School? Has your wife ever mentioned him?”
Hu Jin shook his head and asked in confusion, “What happened? Is Little Li’s death related to someone in the school?”
“No, I was just asking.” Shen Yin opened the door and walked out, leading Zou Sheng back to the car.
