Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 265 Detention
The woman presented her household registration booklet, and after confirming Huang Chen's identity information, Qiao Jiali had the doctor draw blood from Huang Chen.

Throughout the incident, Huang Chen's mother kept complaining, "Be gentle, don't hurt my son."

Huang Chen's father, Huang Jianhui, stood to the side with a gloomy expression. He didn't say anything, but his eyes were fixed on the needle piercing his son's slender arm.

After the blood was drawn, Huang Chen's mother tenderly pressed the cotton pad on the injection site for her son.

Huang Jianhui forced a smile and said, "Officer, can we go now?"

At this moment, Zhou Yi walked over from the other end and said, "Section Chief Huang, are you in such a hurry to leave?"

"you are?"

"Zhou Yi. Did Section Chief Huang remember calling you yesterday?" Zhou Yi asked with a forced smile.

Huang Jianhui was clearly much older than Zhou Yi, but Zhou Yi's smile made him feel uneasy.

But he still said very humbly, "Oh, it's Officer Zhou, I remember you. I'm so sorry, it's our fault for not disciplining our son properly and causing you trouble. I will definitely discipline him properly in the future."

"Section Chief Huang, since you're already here, why don't you get your blood drawn too?" Zhou Yi said with a smile, gesturing for him to proceed.

Huang Jianhui and his family of three were completely stunned.

Huang Jianhui's face turned very ugly, but he still forced a smile and said, "Officer Zhou, you really know how to joke."

Huang Chen's mother said unhappily, "What are you police doing? It's so inexplicable. Don't you have any sense of reason?"

Zhou Yi's smile slowly disappeared, and then he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, unfolded it, and said: "Huang Jianhui, you are suspected of intentionally killing Tang Xue's child born on March 1st of this year. We are now formally detaining you. This is your detention notice."

As he spoke, Zhou Yi handed the document in his hand to Huang Jianhui's wife and said, "Detention notices are usually given to family members, please keep them safe."

In that instant, the expressions of the family of three, while shocked, were each unique.

Huang Jianhui's face turned ashen, and he could no longer smile; his eyes were clearly filled with panic.

His wife looked incredulous and kept saying, "You must have made a mistake."
Huang Chen looked at his father, shocked, but there was also a hint of schadenfreude in his eyes.

Qiao Jiali took out cold handcuffs and cuffed them to the wrists of the bewildered Huang Jianhui.

In the interrogation room, Huang Jianhui, whose face had been ashen, finally regained his senses and struggled to speak: "Comrades... there must be some misunderstanding... you must have made a mistake, I... I'm from the Forestry Bureau, we're all on the same side, I have friends who are also from your Public Security Bureau, I... I..."

Zhou Yi said coldly, "Huang Jianhui, last night, right here where you are sitting, Tang Xue confessed everything between you. Think it over: do you want to continue to resist, or do you want to seek leniency?"

Last night, after Tang Xue's psychological defenses completely collapsed, she confessed everything in detail.

The phone call she made on the evening of March 1st, the number she dialed from the guardhouse, was Huang Jianhui's mobile phone number.

It was exactly the same as the call records Zhou Yi had made before.

If Tang Xue had called Huang Chen's home phone, they might have thought she was looking for Huang Chen.

But if they managed to hit Huang Jianhui's mobile phone, then there's no other possibility.

Moreover, based on the information provided by the elderly woman who witnessed the incident, Tang Xue should not have given birth at that time.

At such a critical moment, Tang Xue, who was alone at home and about to give birth, called Huang Jianhui, and everything was self-evident.

Tang Xue confessed that she did date Huang Chen last year, but she didn't really like him that much at the time; she just thought he was quite handsome.

But after spending time with him, she found that this kind of boy was too immature. Apart from being decent-looking, he had no other qualities that could attract her.

Moreover, Huang Chen has a terrible temper, is very possessive, and always tries to touch her inappropriately.

After talking for a while, Huang Chen asked her to come to his house on Saturday under the pretext of helping her with her studies, and said that his parents would be home.

She couldn't refuse him and went, only to find that Huang Chen was the only one at home.

She wanted to leave, but Huang Chen forcibly dragged her away.

Finally, Huang Chen coaxed and tricked her into taking off her clothes. She said she was very scared at the time and her mind went blank.

It wasn't until Huang Chen's actions were too rough, causing a sharp pain, that she suddenly realized what was happening.

She pushed Huang Chen away and cried, saying she wanted to go home.

Then she mentioned some details that Huang Chen hadn't told her. Huang Chen had said that because Tang Xue kept crying, he was afraid of attracting the attention of the neighbors, so he gave up on the matter.

But Tang Xue said that Huang Chen knelt before her and swore a solemn oath that he would treat her well for the rest of his life. Then he begged her, so they tried again, but this time Huang Chen suddenly couldn't keep up before they even started, and it ended abruptly.

After Tang Xue cleaned herself up, she quickly got dressed and ran home. Yao Fenfang was working the day shift that day, so she took a shower and washed her clothes when she got home.

After that, Huang Chen tried to see her alone several times, but she kept avoiding him because she didn't want to date him anymore. One day after school, Huang Chen stopped her on the road and took her to a deserted construction site, saying he wanted to have a serious talk.

But Huang Chen immediately started touching her inappropriately. She slapped him and tried to run away, but Huang Chen told her that if she didn't listen to him, he would tell everyone at the school that he had slept with her at his house that day, making her unable to face anyone again.

She said she was terrified and completely at a loss at the time.

But in the midst of the struggle, she insisted that Huang Chen not cross the line, otherwise she would kill herself in front of him.

In the end, both sides compromised, resulting in the situation Huang Chen had previously described.

For the next period of time, she became Huang Chen's tool for sexual gratification.

She was desperate and even thought about suicide, but she didn't dare tell anyone.

One evening, they were discovered by someone, and the person who discovered them was Huang Chen's father.

She said that Huang Chen was dragged back by his father and didn't come to school the next day. He didn't show up until the third day with a bruised and swollen face.

She thought the matter was over, but one night a week later, someone suddenly knocked on the door.

Yao Fenfang was working the night shift at the time, and she was home alone. When she opened the door, she found that the person who came in was Huang Chen's father.

Huang Jianhui said he came to apologize to her and her parents on behalf of his son, and he brought many valuable gifts.

Tang Xue, at a loss, let him into the house. Huang Jianhui was puzzled as to why there were no adults at home. Tang Xue explained that her parents were divorced and her mother had gone to work the night shift and would not be back until the next morning.

Tang Xue said that Huang Jianhui was very gentlemanly and spoke very appropriately, completely different from Huang Chen.

Huang Jianhui apologized to her on behalf of his son Huang Chen, and earnestly advised her that they are still young and should focus on their studies so that they can have a bright future when they grow up.

After learning that Tang Xue's mother was unaware of these matters, Huang Jianhui immediately felt that he had been presumptuous and almost harmed her. He even took away the gifts he had brought so that she wouldn't have no way to explain herself later.

His thoughtfulness and maturity greatly increased Tang Xue's positive feelings towards him.

Since her parents divorced, her living environment has been terrible. Her father is indifferent and her mother scolds her all the time, which has led to her withdrawn and sensitive personality.

To her surprise, a few days later on the weekend, Huang Jianhui suddenly appeared and said he wanted to treat her to a meal to express his apologies.

That day, her mother happened to be working the day shift, and she didn't know if it was a coincidence or if Huang Jianhui did it on purpose.

She got into Huang Jianhui's car. She had hardly ever ridden in such a car before, and she was quite reserved.

Huang Jianhui took her to a luxurious upscale Western restaurant, and the dishes he ordered were ones she had never seen before; it all felt like a dream.

During the meal, Huang Jianhui thoughtfully cut her steak and showed her how to use a knife and fork in Western cuisine.

He told her some interesting things he had seen and heard. When he learned that she liked Hong Kong and Taiwan singers, Huang Jianhui took out a brand new Sony Walkman and said that when he went to apologize last time, Tang Xue could not accept those things, so he felt bad. Therefore, he specially bought this Walkman for her and hoped that she would accept it.

Moreover, it's small in size, making it easy to hide and unlikely to be discovered by her mother.

For a family like Tang Xue's, this was something she wouldn't even dare to dream of. She was incredibly apprehensive, but her eyes were filled with affection for the Walkman.

Ultimately, at Huang Jianhui's insistence, she accepted the Walkman and treasured it.

Later, Huang Jianhui would take Tang Xue out to play every few days while Yao Fenfang was at work, and take her to eat all sorts of things she had never tried before.

Tang Xue did not refuse, because it was something she had never been exposed to before. She did not know that the place Huang Jianhui took her to was not that far away for most adults.

But for her, it was undoubtedly a dream world.

In their repeated, clandestine encounters, she found herself becoming increasingly dependent on Huang Jianhui. Sometimes, their unintentional physical contact would make her blush, her heart race, and her whole body feel as if she were being electrocuted.

That feeling was something she had never experienced before.

Moreover, Huang Jianhui never laid a hand on her; he was always so elegant and polite.

That mature male charm was so dazzling in her eyes.

However, this was accompanied by a continuous decline in her academic performance and an increasingly strained relationship with her mother.

One night, when Yao Fenfang was working a hard night shift at the plastics factory, Huang Jianhui, who was bringing her home, said he would cover her with a blanket before leaving.

As they parted, Huang Jianhui kissed her on the forehead.

Suddenly, Tang Xue stretched out two snow-white arms from under the covers and tightly hugged his neck.
