Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 211 Confession
Shen Fu also rested her chin on her hand, looking thoughtful: "I heard from Yu Tong that it has something to do with his first love."

"I don't know the specifics anymore. Yutong doesn't like gossiping about these things behind people's backs. I only found out about this because he accidentally let it slip."

"Later, I asked him out of curiosity, but he just wouldn't say anything."

Having missed a great opportunity to gossip, Shen Fu felt quite regretful and let out a long sigh.

Having heard people mention Wen Ye's first love several times, Wei Qingsong couldn't help but become curious and casually asked, "What is it about this girl that makes Wen Ye unable to forget her for so many years?"

Shen Fu tilted her head and recalled seriously: "She was very beautiful, smart, and had a good personality. I don't know much about her, but I know that she was a prominent figure at Tangzhou University back then. She entered the psychology department of Tangzhou University with the highest score in the province. She was definitely a top student and goddess."

"If you ask me, putting aside family background, with her talent, character and appearance, Wenye is the one who is not good enough for her."

"Alas, what a cruel twist of fate. He had such a bright future, yet he was ruined and his family was destroyed. This old man Wen is truly guilty of a terrible sin."

Shen Fu clicked her tongue in dismay, her face full of regret.

Although not a firsthand witness, Shen Fu was very well-connected and adept in the upper echelons of Tangzhou, and her sources of information were likely accurate.

"The Psychology Department of Tang University..." Wei Qingsong lowered his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "What's her name? Do you remember?"

Shen Fu took a breath: "Hiss, I really can't remember that. I'll ask you again later."

After saying that, she winked and teased, "Oh my, why are you so concerned about Wenye's affairs? Have you fallen for someone else and no longer want your Officer Lu?"

"I was just asking casually." Wei Qingsong raised an eyebrow and retorted in a light tone, "But you, Afu, your relationship with Writer Shen is progressing very quickly. Now you call him 'Yutong' all the time, and you've even managed to get Wen Ye's little secrets out. You must have been chatting quite a bit, right?"

Shen Fu blushed, and the situation instantly reversed.

These days, her relationship with Shen Yutong is indeed progressing rapidly.

Originally, she needed Wen Ye to act as an intermediary to talk to Shen Yutong, but now she doesn't need Wen Ye, and Shen Yutong can communicate with her normally.

Seeing the girl's lovestruck expression, Wei Qingsong knew that her guess was pretty accurate, and couldn't help but smile.

Seeing her good friend get what she wanted, she was naturally happy too.

However, Shen Fu had been through countless relationships, but Shen Yutong was different from those men she had fleeting affairs with.

After a moment of thought, Wei Qingsong earnestly reminded him, "I suspect that Shen Yutong suffered from a serious mental illness due to his tragic childhood experiences. Although he looks normal now, no one can guarantee that his mental illness will not relapse in the future."

From a humanitarian perspective, she sympathized with Shen Yutong's plight and understood his reclusive nature.

But from a friend's perspective, she didn't want Shen Fu to risk getting hurt by getting close to him.

Shen Fu's expression was incredibly firm: "I understand everything you're saying, but this time is different from before. I'm very serious and very certain. I want to understand him, I want to enter his world, and I want to be someone who is different to him."

"It may be difficult, and I may get hurt, but I'm not afraid. All I know is that I want to follow my heart."

Wei Qingsong was silent for a moment, then nodded gently: "Since you have made your decision, I will support you no matter what."

She understood Shen Fu, knowing that beneath her carefree and playful exterior lay a stubborn and courageous heart.

As the mayor's daughter, she grew up surrounded by rules and constraints. But after following the rules for so long, she developed a rebellious spirit.

She is eccentric and unrestrained, and yearns for freedom. Some people dislike her for being frivolous and dissolute, while others envy her for being unruly and spontaneous. But behind all these labels, she is just an ordinary person who wants to be herself.

Since that's the case, why not follow your heart?

Shen Fu, holding Wei Qingsong's hand, enthusiastically shared the latest gossip from their circle until a phone call summoned her away, at which point they said their goodbyes. Leaving the tea restaurant, Wei Qingsong drove back to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

As soon as I entered the hall, I ran into Xiao Song and his group.

Two police officers were holding a prisoner. The man had a stubble beard and looked very haggard. It was difficult to judge his age just by looking at him.

"Sister Wei, you're here." Xiao Song approached with a smile and explained to the puzzled woman, "That's Guo Wenjin, the prime suspect in the poisoning of Hua Rongchang."

“We caught him in a small hotel. When he was caught, he was quite well-behaved. He didn’t run away or struggle. You couldn’t tell at all that he had the guts to kill.”

Wei Qingsong neither agreed nor disagreed, and walked towards the interrogation room.

Through the one-way glass, one could easily see Guo Wenjin sitting dejectedly on the stool, looking like a deflated balloon, utterly listless.

Lu Jingming tapped the table with his fingers and began a serious interrogation.

Guo Wenjin did not put up a stubborn resistance. On the contrary, he readily confessed to his crimes, but never mentioned who had bribed him.

Wei Qingsong asked Xiao Song softly, "Have the forensic results come out yet?"

Xiao Song nodded: "It's out. Hua Rongchang was injected with an excessive amount of digitalis, which caused heart failure and cardiac arrest."

In the interrogation room, Lu Jingming asked coldly, "You have no medical background, so where did you get the injection?"

Guo Wenjin paused, then mumbled softly, "I don't know."

Lu Jingming's eyes narrowed slightly as he continued, "You have no grudge against Hua Rongchang, so what reason do you have to kill him?"

"I do not know."

The person who bribed him must have taught him beforehand how to handle interrogations.

No matter how much Lu Jingming pressed him for an answer, his response remained the same, as if he had made up his mind to play dumb to the very end.

Chen Jin, who was taking a statement, finally lost his temper and put down his pen, saying, "This is murder, which is punishable by death, do you know that? Think about your family, don't be so stubborn."

Guo Wenjin's lips moved, and he lowered his head and said, "I know I'm doomed. Just arrest me and shoot me. I confess. I have nothing else to say."

Chen Jin was speechless and choked with emotion.

In his years as a police officer, he had seen all sorts of criminals, and none of them were exactly trying to get themselves exonerated or receive leniency. This was the first person he had ever encountered who was practically begging to be shot.

Wei Qingsong watched this scene quietly.

Survival is a basic human instinct; if someone is determined to die, there must be a hidden reason.

Just then, Bai Rushuang rushed over carrying a thick stack of documents.

Upon seeing Wei Qingsong, her tightly furrowed brows instantly relaxed: "That's great, Qingsong. With you here, I'm not afraid that Guo Wenjin won't tell the truth."

She handed the documents in her hand to Wei Qingsong: "This is the information we found about Guo Wenjin."

"He has a six-year-old daughter who was diagnosed with leukemia when she was three. In the past three years, he and his wife have emptied their savings to treat their daughter. This is probably why he was bribed."
