Free Web NovelChapter 545: Chapter 515: Can We Arrest People Now?_1
Interrogation room.
Shen Caijun, handcuffed, sat in the interrogation chair, which was firmly welded to the floor. The room doubled her sense of fear, and she had lost the calm composure she had in the morning.
Her makeup was smudged; her mascara smeared black under her eyes. At the moment, she looked nothing like the word ’beautiful.’
Xu Dayuan crossed his arms and glanced at the time.
"The family situation you previously confessed, it wasn’t Shen Shuyi’s, was it? We contacted her parents, both of whom have remarried, and her father isn’t even surnamed Shen. They both shirked when asked to identify the body. Jin City No.3 Middle School, what if I use them to contact your parents?"
Shen Caijun lifted her head abruptly, her face filled with anger. Xu Dayuan remained expressionless and continued,
"Ten minutes ago, I contacted Sichuan Airlines. You’ve been temporarily grounded to fully cooperate with the investigation. Whether you can keep your job at Sichuan Airlines depends on your performance. I think this job means more to you than just a job, right?
So stop beating around the bush. If we managed to track you down, it’s because we have new findings. We also found video footage from before Shen Shuyi’s incident and have identified several suspects in the case. We have apprehended three, and one is still at large.
What do you think the suspect would do if he knew about the identity swap, that he had been deceived, and that the real you isn’t dead? Moreover, the WeChat account you gave us isn’t the one you use to interact with the opposite sex. You met other people in Qindao, too. I’m giving you one last chance to confess—it’s up to you."
Shen Caijun kept shaking her head, her panic not feigned.
"I’ve met a lot of people, and I haven’t kept a record of some. After all, some are just one-night stands and even if they leave an identity, it’s fake—I can’t provide that. I’m not trying to lie, I understand the seriousness of the matter, please don’t tell our airline about this, otherwise, I really will get fired."
Xu Dayuan raised an eyebrow.
"Oh? So you’re saying, you might remember them if you saw their photos?"
Shen Caijun nodded, but her expression was far from confident, and she bit her lip as she spoke.
"Well, not every flight in business class has passengers who like to chat up air hostesses. Most of the time, I just keep in touch with those I already know. Of course, sometimes they invite me to dinner, introduce me to male friends.
There are many such people. I generally use my rest time to meet and dine with them, and of course, one-night stands happen a lot, too. Some people are just looking for a thrill, so why would they leave their real names? Sometimes, I drink a lot, and my memory of these people isn’t deep."
By the end, Shen Caijun could no longer continue. Such promiscuous behavior was scorned in the eyes of ordinary Hua Country citizens. Xu Dayuan, however, said nothing and just waved his hand at Zhang Ping.
An A4 paper with four ID photos printed side by side, numbered 1234 below.
Shen Caijun looked confused. She looked at Xu Dayuan and lifted her handcuffed wrists, pointing and asking,
"Do I need to identify them?"
"Take a look, see if you recognize anyone, or perhaps a one-night stand."
Shen Caijun picked up the paper. As she looked at the photos of Ma Decai and Liu Liwei, there was no change in her expression. But when she saw Liu Tiesong and Fang Shengping, her fingers visibly trembled uncontrollably.
Shen Caijun looked up and saw Xu Dayuan’s gaze had never left her. His stare seemed tangible, as if it could see through her body. Shen Caijun shivered again, pursed her lips tightly, and remained silent for a moment. Xu Dayuan didn’t rush her.
After a while, Shen Caijun licked her lips, as if making up her mind, she said,
"I’ve met these two men. This middle-aged man is wealthy; I only know his surname is Liu. They were with a film crew flying back to Qindao. After boarding the plane, he was on the phone for a long time. Before takeoff, I stood by and listened. It seemed to be about investment deals.
I gently advised Mr. Liu to hang up, and when he looked at me, his gaze was very gentle. Even while scolding someone on the call, he politely turned off his phone. During service, I passed him a small note with my name and phone number.
About a week later, he called me. He asked if I flew to Qindao daily. When I said yes, he offered to invite me to his beachside villa, asked me to add him on WeChat to send me the address, or to have someone pick me up from the airport.
To avoid my colleagues’ suspicions—they can be as gossipy as tabloid journalists—I took a cab alone to the villa. Did you know that villa was antique? I thought I had struck gold at that moment. During dinner, I was prepared to be his mistress.
But that night, I was dumbfounded; he didn’t rush me. At first, I thought he was a gentleman. Later, I realized he’d prepared a box, filled with all sorts of sex toys, and he wanted me to undress and perform for him, ensuring I reached climax.
Seeing no reaction from me, he pulled out his phone and transferred ten thousand yuan through Alipay, telling me good performances come with continuous rewards. I was scared to death, but seeing that he didn’t even get aroused, I suddenly thought maybe he had some erectile dysfunction and just wanted the thrill of a live performance—the kind you can imagine.
Then, I started undressing to music from my phone, and Mr. Liu thoughtfully adjusted the lighting. Whether it was the alcohol or the first time being watched like that, I... I went on for quite a while. He was satisfied as transfer notifications kept ringing on my phone. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
Finally, I was too exhausted and overly stimulated. I don’t even know when I fell asleep, but I knew he had recorded me. At that point, I was too powerless to resist anything. He didn’t contact me for a long time after that, and of course, I didn’t receive any extortion calls. To be honest, I felt a bit down because I made over three hundred thousand yuan that night."
During this year’s Spring Festival, he contacted me, and asked me to go to that seaside villa again. This time, he didn’t say anyone would pick me up, but he asked what cuisine I preferred and had someone prepare it to be delivered. He mentioned he had a friend who wanted to meet me, a young admirer who really enjoyed my videos and wanted to see me perform in person."
Xu Dayuan raised his hand, interrupting Shen Caijun’s narrative.
"Where is this seaside villa? Log into the phone’s WeChat that you used to contact him. Let me see the location."
Shen Caijun quickly took the phone that Ma Liang had brought, logged in, found the chat, and scrolled to the map. Sure enough, the location was the Mashan Scenic Area villa.
"Alright, I know this place. Continue, did you go there for the Spring Festival to meet this younger guy?"
"Yes, it was to meet him. I had been to the villa once before, and especially since Mr. Liu didn’t touch me, I had a general idea of their demands. They just wanted to see someone like me perform more explicitly. After all, for someone with that kind of wealth, what type of woman hasn’t he seen? I’m aware of that.
I regretted it that night. He wanted me to call him ’Master,’ stuffed things in my mouth, put a collar around my neck, and led me around the villa on all fours like a dog. Several people watched, and they even laid a blanket on the snow outside the villa, whipping me with a leather whip and using the handle to abuse me.
It wasn’t about any kink—it was genuine whipping with a horsewhip. If you don’t believe me, you can have a policewoman check my back. I kept calling for help, but no one came to save me. I don’t know if he took some drugs, but he tormented me for over two hours, and eventually, he fell asleep in the room."
I was terrified, so I got dressed, grabbed my shoes, and climbed out of the villa through a window. Below was a cliff, and the villa district was behind. There was only one road, and I saw no cars. I didn’t dare to steal a car. After jumping out of the yard, I saw an electric scooter at the pavilion near the villa entrance, and I used it to escape."
As she said this, Shen Caijun burst into tears, her body shaking terribly, sobbing uncontrollably. Clearly, this event was like a nightmare to her.
Zhou Ning narrowed his eyes. Both men were more twisted than the other. Perhaps because of this incident, they bore a grudge against Shen Caijun, so when they saw her in the hotel, they naturally couldn’t let her go?
Of course, they didn’t know that this Shen Caijun was actually Shen Shuyi in disguise.
After a long time, Shen Caijun finally gained control of her emotions, and then continued:
"I don’t know how long I ran for. My body was already frozen stiff, and the electric scooter had run out of battery. It was then that I found a road with street lights; it looked less desolate. I abandoned the scooter and called my colleague to pick me up in a taxi and sent him my location. If you don’t believe me, you can ask him—it’s the flight attendant from our crew."
Xu Dayuan stared at Shen Caijun. By now, he understood why Fang Shengping and Liu Tiesong, upon encountering Shen Shuyi at villa number 24, immediately contacted Ma Decai and Li Mubai.
This was merely to divert Li Mubai’s attention and then create a chance encounter, subsequently taking Shen Shuyi to room 218. It was unknown whether Shen Shuyi knew she was losing her life because of Shen Caijun’s unfortunate connections when she died.
As for the flight attendant, Xu Dayuan sent a message on WeChat and soon received a reply. After questioning, the attendant confirmed receiving a call at 3:28 on February 12, 2013, and the location sent via WeChat to pick up Shen Caijun.
Xu Dayuan nodded, while Shen Caijun’s eyes kept darting about, looking pitifully at Xu Dayuan.
"Is everything clear now? I indeed didn’t lie. Can I go now?"
Xu Dayuan waved his hand, signaling Mr. Shan to come over and have Shen Caijun sign, and before she could say more, she was led away.
Xu Dayuan made a phone call and, stretching his neck, walked into the next observation room. At this point, the time was 22:12. Before long, the call connected, and on the other end, Fang Mu immediately answered.
"Director Xu, can we make the arrest now?"
"Are you sure Fang Shengping is within your surveillance range?"
"Confirmed, he’s at home. He hasn’t left since he drove back at 21:42. Observing through the window, he’s in the second-floor room, and we’ve got people watching the exit of their home’s underground parking. No one has entered or exited. As for Mr. Fang, he’s also been at home."
"Go ahead with the arrest."
"Yes, sir!"
Fang Mu’s ’yes’ was decisively clear. You could sense from his voice that he had been holding back frustration all day, particularly because the arrest that afternoon could have gone without Liu Yufei getting hurt, if not for trying to save him. He felt very guilty about it.
Xu Dayuan looked at Zhou Ning.
"It’s past ten o’clock. There hasn’t been any movement from Cui Lili’s side, has there?"
Zhou Ning glanced at his phone and shook his head slightly. frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓
"Usually, she can get out in four hours. It’s best not to rush her. The more we hurry her, the more anxious Mrs. Cui gets. She wants to give us the results as soon as possible."
