Chapter 77: Astonishing Deductive Ability

  "Master, didn't Master Yuan drive a car to deliver goods to Lanyang Township last night?" Yang Jie turned his head and asked Dai Xiaoqiang.

  "Not bad, Old Yuan went to deliver goods in Lanyue Township last night and just came back this morning. He said the car broke down halfway, fortunately there was a repair shop by the national highway, otherwise it's unknown when he would have returned!" Dai Xiaoqiang said this, which served as evidence for Wang Bo's words.

  Deng Xiancheng furrowed his brow, seeing more and more onlookers gathering around, was just about to signal to the two police officers who were subduing Wang Bo, to take him to the factory administration building.

  But then, on Yang Jie's face, which still had a hint of childishness, a confident and calm smile appeared, and in his bright eyes, a flash of wisdom shone through, reflecting the light from the warehouse glass window like a radiant glow.

  Yang Jie said to Wang Bo in a peculiar tone, "You've been lying all along. You didn't come from Yunhe Township by Master Yuan's car. You arrived at Yunhe yesterday. The reason you knew Master Yuan's car broke down halfway is that Master Yuan mentioned it while having breakfast with others, and you happened to be listening nearby."

  "You're talking nonsense, I came to Huanghe Township by car from the winery last night. I thought you were a university student who knew what's right and wrong, but it turns out you're just like these policemen, birds of a feather! After Wang Bo's lie was exposed by Yang Jie, although he didn't show any panic on his face, his lips were pursed, indicating that he was under pressure and very uneasy."

  Everyone knows that the delivery trucks of the winery do not have a canopy, and when it rains, they just cover with a rain cloth. The road to Lánshān Township is all gravel, and there are more than ten kilometers along the way. When driving on the road, the dust is quite large. If you're in the car, how can your body be so clean?

  Moreover, Instructor Yuan was originally a scout, and when he left Lán Shān village, it's possible that for the time being you might not be able to sneak onto the train. However, when the train is being repaired, Instructor Yuan will definitely add water to the train's radiator. At that time, can you still hide in the carriage with no cover? Yang Jie's words left Wang Bo speechless.

  After a moment of silence, Wang Bo's eyebrows were pressed down, his upper eyelid was raised high, and his mouth was tightly closed like a line. Yang Jie knew that from micro-expressions, this represented hatred and anger.

  Seeing Wang Bo's intentional or unintentional light touch on the ring on his left hand's ring finger, a bold speculation surged into Yang Jie's mind, and he also understood why Wang Bo would have such hatred and anger.

  "Haha... you're right, I didn't come to Huanghe Village by car from the winery, but what does that have to do with anything? Can you prove it was me who killed my brother?" Wang Bo's arrogance and defiance exceeded Yang Jie's expectations.

  Deng Xiancheng was impressed by Yang Jie's quick wit and sharp observations, which had overturned Wang Bo's words. He had originally planned to take Wang Bo away, but now he made a crazy decision.

  If Yang Jie can easily overthrow Wang Bo's seemingly unbeatable testimony, then can he find the murderer who killed Wang Guixi?

  "Not bad! Wang Guixi indeed wasn't killed by you, but he got drunk and came home in the middle of the night because of you! Because of you, this useless, ruthless and crazy brother!" Yang Jie's stern words made Wang Bo stop laughing suddenly.

  When he saw Wang Bo, his pupils dilated due to a sentence of his own, and a fearful expression appeared on his face. Until Wang Bo's line of sight swept over Zhang Bo not far away again, Yang Jie had basically grasped the ins and outs of the whole case.

  "It's well-known that Wang Guixi is a live-in son-in-law, and over the years he has been supporting you, his younger brother who stays at home. However, because of your incompetence, your sister-in-law doesn't get along with you, so even if you came to Xunhe Township, you wouldn't go to your older brother's house in Yangjiacun."

  "All these years, you've been in contact with Wang Guixi, right? I believe that by imitating your brother's handwriting, you can perfectly fake it to the point of being real. That share allocation table in his office, if I'm not mistaken, was written by you!" Yang Jie's extraordinary insight and intuition left Wang Bo very surprised, and from his stunned expression, everything Yang Jie said was correct.

  Deng Xiancheng and others standing by also did not expect that the case would take a dramatic turn after Yang Jie met with Wang Bo.

  The share allocation list that previously caught the attention of the criminal police was not written by Wang Guixi, but by this man in his thirties, who is Wang Guixi's only younger brother.

  "It's also thanks to you, if it wasn't for the clue you left behind, we wouldn't have known who the real murderer was so soon!" As Yang Jie said this, Zhang Bo, standing not far away, clenched his fists tightly, his piercing eyes narrowing slightly, with a hint of dangerous intent in them, inadvertently sweeping across the crowd where Yang Jie was chatting.

  Dai Xiaoqiang, who was standing nearby, sensitively perceived Zhang Bo's change and seemed to have a premonition. He quietly moved his footsteps and intentionally or unintentionally blocked the way between Zhang Bo and Yang Jie.

  Deng Xiancheng heard Yang Jie say that he already knew who the murderer was, and his face couldn't help but show joy. He was just about to ask Yang Jie to reveal the real killer's name when he heard someone calling out "Director Yang" from a short distance away. It was then that he realized, without knowing when it had happened, that both Yang Xinhua and Yang Hua had arrived at the parking lot, staring intently at Yang Jie who had become the center of attention.

  "Let me restore the whole process of yesterday's events!" Yang Jie saw that both Yang Xinhua and Yang Hua had arrived, clasped his hands together like a tower, extremely confident, swept his gaze over the crowd, then fixed his eyes on Wang Bo and Zhang Bo.

  Because Wang Bo you are about to get married, and the renovation of the new house and the dowry money have not been settled yet, so yesterday afternoon, you took a bus to come to Xunhe Township, and called your brother, wanting him to lend you money.

  Wang Guixi came to the countryside and saw you, but because he had to attend to village affairs to collect unified funds for the township cadres, he hastily helped you open a room, chatted with you casually for a few sentences, and then left.

  Everyone knows that Wang Guixi is a live-in son-in-law, and his status in the family is not high. All the money is controlled by Yang Juan. When his younger brother gets married and needs money, he, as the older brother, can't take out any money, so when socializing with local officials, he drank a few more cups.

  When he finished entertaining the rural cadres and went to the hotel to see you, he was already drunk. A drunken person can't keep his mouth shut. For so many years, it has always been Wang Guixi who supported you, but you are already over 30 years old, not only is your work unstable, but even the money for marriage needs to be borrowed from your brother.

  The deeper the love, the stronger the responsibility. Your brother is only criticizing you because he cares about you so much that he got drunk and spoke his mind, but not only do you not understand your brother's good intentions, you even harbor resentment towards him, thinking that he looks down on you and doesn't want to lend you money for your wedding. Your narrow-mindedness and selfish personality have distorted the thin familial bond in your heart.

  When Wang Guixi criticized and accused you, a murderous intention arose in your heart, wanting to kill your elder brother. However, since the people at the hotel saw Wang Guixi enter your room, it was impossible for you to kill him in the hotel room.

  "When Wang Gui Xi left, the package containing the wine factory employee's share allocation table was left in your hotel room. When you saw that share allocation table, an evil thought arose in your heart." Yang Jie said it as if he had seen it with his own eyes, and Wang Bo's face suddenly turned pale.

  Looking at Wang Bo, who had already lowered his head, Yang Jie continued: "You calculated the time well. After Wang Guixi returned to the winery, you called him again and told him that he had forgotten his bag. You said that you would personally deliver it to him later. That's why Wang Guixi was waiting for you in the office."

  I believe that at the time, you had already made preparations to kill Wang Guixi. The reason for making the phone call to detain Wang Guixi was to prevent him from returning home so early, because you were afraid that the workers at the winery and the villagers would still be awake and see you committing the crime.

  But you don't know that in the dark of night, there is another one, a venomous snake with bared fangs, ready to strike at Wang Guixi.

  So when you were waiting near the gate of the winery, after seeing all the workers who worked the night shift leave, Wang Guixi stumbled out of the gate and prepared to go home. You quietly slipped into the Yangmei forest, preparing to take advantage of the opportunity to deal with Wang Guixi.

  But unexpectedly, before you could make a move, another person had already killed Wang Gui Xi. So after waiting for the murderer to leave, you cleaned up the traces you left behind but happened to leave behind the shoe prints of that person who was waiting for Wang Gui Xi at the observation point.

  Then you forged Wang Gui Xi's handwriting, re-copied a share allocation table and put it in Wang Gui Xi's bag. At 10 pm, you quietly returned to his office and intentionally left clues on the share allocation table for us to catch the murderer. Is that what I said?

  Wang Bo, who had been silent until then, looked at Zhang Bo in the crowd with a sly smile after listening to Yang Jie's reasoning, and said viciously: "That's right, what you said is all correct. Wang Gui Xi himself has wealth and glory, he doesn't lack a wife, children, house or money, but he has forgotten his own younger brother. It's easy for him to talk big when standing on the ground that others have paved for him, saying I'm useless and can only survive by relying on him? Bullshit!

  He didn't even think that if he wasn't a live-in son-in-law, would he have ended up like this today? The child doesn't even share his surname, what's there to be proud of, he deserved to die. Since you already know the murderer isn't me, and the police can't convict me of any crime, can they let me go now?" Wang Bo said as he raised his handcuffed hands, with a look of being completely heartless and without any sense of family ties, which made everyone despise and scorn him.
