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

Chapter 360 A Green Hat (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Chen Ting argued that the stockings were accidentally scratched, and she thought they looked bad, so she took them off and threw them away.

I took a shower because I was sweating and felt sticky and uncomfortable.

In short, I've worked so hard and diligently for this family, and you have no evidence whatsoever yet you still doubt me. Are you even a man?

He left Fan Zhongliang speechless.

Clearly, this woman is no pushover either.

Fan Zhongliang said that he had Chen Ting resign from Guangming Trading after that incident.

He was convinced that the adulterer was someone from the company.

And he's a handsome young man, because Chen Ting jokingly said she wanted to find a handsome young man.

So during that period, he felt that every young man in the company was having an affair with his wife.

Chen Ting was very unhappy about resigning, but she was also clearly guilty, so she agreed anyway.

When Fan Zhongliang went to Zheng Guangming to talk about this, Zheng Guangming felt quite sorry for him and asked if he had encountered any difficulties at home, and told him not to hesitate to ask if he needed anything.

Fan Zhongliang made up a random excuse to brush it off.

Not long after, Ding Wenyuan needed to hire an accountant and asked him to recommend someone.

He immediately recommended his wife, Chen Ting, to him.

Firstly, he goes to work during the day, leaving Chen Ting alone at home, and he always suspects that his wife might take the opportunity to cheat on him.

Secondly, he trusted Ding Wenyuan's character and felt that leaving his wife there was a way of keeping an eye on her for him.

That's why Chen Ting went to work at Ding Wenyuan's company; that's the cause and effect.

He observed this many times afterward, and one particularly striking feature was his clothing style, which gradually returned to its previous simple look. He never wore his high heels again after they became dusty.

He gradually felt relieved, and sometimes he even doubted himself, wondering if he had really misunderstood his wife back then.

The couple lived peacefully together until March 17th.

After getting rid of Zheng Guangming, Fan Zhongliang was in a great mood. He even took some time to visit Xiaoqiushan Park and found that the park had already patched up the gap in the iron fence. Moreover, he wandered around the park for a long time but couldn't find anything suspicious.

They were very satisfied with the results of their work in dealing with Daqing.

In order to sever ties with Fu Daqing, he did something else.

He simply changed the number on his home phone, explaining to Chen Ting that the new number was unlucky.

He thought no one had noticed his various actions.

But in reality, Chen Ting saw everything.

Because he found out soon after.

Moreover, he learned even more truths, truths that drove him mad.

On the evening of April 10th, during dinner, Chen Ting suddenly asked him, "Has Zheng Guangming still not been found?"

My daughter lives in a boarding school and is now a senior in high school, about to take the college entrance exam.

So I only go home once a month, and I usually stay at school for extra classes on Saturdays and Sundays.

So most of the time, it's just Fan Zhongliang and Chen Ting at home.

Upon hearing this, Fan Zhongliang's hand, which was holding a chopstick, froze.

His lips twitched slightly as he asked, "Who...who told you that?"

"I ran into Sister Liu on the road that day and we chatted for a bit." The Sister Liu that Chen Ting mentioned is the HR manager of Guangming Trading Company, and she is also a long-time employee of the company.

"Oh, oh, oh." Fan Zhongliang breathed a sigh of relief. "It seems like Mr. Zheng has gone abroad. I wonder when he'll be back."

Fan Zhongliang said that he had never really understood why Zheng Tianlan claimed that her father had gone abroad.

Without even looking up, Chen Ting casually asked, "Don't you need an ID card to go abroad?"

Fan Zhongliang was startled and immediately looked up at his wife: "What...what do you mean by that?"

“You were drunk that night and threw up in the car. When I was looking for a rag to wipe it up, I found Zheng Guangming’s ID card.” Chen Ting asked calmly while eating. “I asked Sister Liu, and she said that Zheng Guangming hasn’t come to the company since the 17th.”

"Don't you need an ID card to go abroad?"

Fan Zhongliang broke out in a cold sweat, but his mind raced and he found a reason.

He said, "You haven't been abroad, so you don't know. You don't need an ID card to go abroad; people have passports."

"Oh..." Chen Ting gave a meaningful "oh" and didn't say anything more.

Just when Fan Zhongliang thought he had gotten away with it, Chen Ting spoke up again.

"The person who came to see you on the 17th, was it Fu Daqing?"

"What?" Fan Zhongliang was stunned. "How could you..."

"There was a time when you were drinking and you got drunk. I came to pick you up. Ding Wenyuan introduced you, saying that this was a big boss from Hongcheng named Fu Daqing. You might have forgotten, oh no, you were drunk at the time."

Fan Zhongliang never imagined that his wife had actually met Fu Daqing back then, a fact he was completely unaware of. "That passbook shows you withdrew 20,000 yuan that day, and another 8,000 yuan before that. Was all that money given to Fu Daqing?"

Fan Zhongliang forced a stiff laugh and said, "He...he wants to make a comeback, so he asked me for money."

Chen Ting looked at him expressionlessly and asked, "What's your relationship? Why did you lend him so much money?"

"Well...we've known each other for a while, and he's a really nice person, so I...I just..."

"Did you pay Fu Daqing to kill Zheng Guangming?"

This statement is tantamount to drawing one's bayonet.

Fan Zhongliang said he never expected that his wife would see through his meticulous plan.

He was stunned. He wanted to deny it, but he didn't know how to refute it.

Chen Ting said that your actions that night, such as picking up your daughter for dinner and changing your phone number, were very unusual.

Chen Ting coldly asked him, "Fan Zhongliang, you've really made something of yourself, daring to kill someone! So, is killing me next?"

Fan Zhongliang was taken aback and asked, "Why would I kill you?"

Chen Ting's next words chilled him to the bone.

Chen Ting sneered, "You've held back for so many years before finally making a move, isn't it because I'm having an affair with Zheng Guangming?"

These words struck Fan Zhongliang like a blow to the head, leaving him completely stunned.

The adulterer he had been searching for so long turned out to be Zheng Guangming.

He knew that Zheng Guangming liked to play around with women, and he also knew that his wife was quite attractive and charming.

But he never thought of associating the two of them with that kind of relationship.

He felt that the person he helped Zheng Guangming falsify accounts was the one he trusted most, and as the saying goes, one should not covet a friend's wife.

Moreover, Zheng Guangming is almost ten years older than him and ugly. Why would his wife be interested in him?
He thought he had misheard, "You... what nonsense are you talking about?"

But Chen Ting was determined to court disaster, and directly shattered his final illusion with a single sentence.

Chen Ting said with a look of disdain, "You surnamed Fan, do you really think that Zheng Guangming asked you to help him falsify accounts because you're so capable? Do you really think that all the money this family earns is thanks to you? Let me tell you, if I hadn't slept with Zheng Guangming, why would you think he would let you do these things for him? Why would he give you so much money?"

Chen Ting reached out and poked Fan Zhongliang's forehead, saying, "You think you're so great? You think they can't do without you? Would you have had this opportunity if it weren't for me? You've got guts now, huh? You even dare to kill people."

"Come on, if you've got the guts, grab a knife and kill me right now!"

Fan Zhongliang said that Chen Ting was very emotional at the time, which really stunned him.

However, Zhou Yi felt that the reality might not be as Fan Zhongliang believed.

Chen Ting may not be certain that Fan Zhongliang really killed Zheng Guangming, so she wanted to test him, and she was actually in a state of great fear.

Because when a person is in a state of great fear, in addition to running away and their mind going blank, there is another typical reaction.

It's about using intense anger to embolden yourself; it's what's called "going all out."

But in reality, the louder you shout, the more panicked you become.

Just like those small dogs outside, the core reason they bark so fiercely is because they are weak.

Fan Zhongliang said he already knew about it at the time, and now it can no longer be kept secret.

He then put down his chopsticks and directly admitted to Chen Ting that he had hired Fu Daqing to kill Zheng Guangming. But then he explained why he did it, namely, Zheng Guangming's killing of Yang Jian. He said he had no choice but to do it, otherwise he would be the next person thrown into the incinerator.

After Fan Zhongliang finished speaking, Chen Ting was completely dumbfounded.

She asked blankly, "You...you didn't kill him because you found out about my affair with Zheng Guangming?"

Fan Zhongliang calmly shook his head and replied, "No."

Chen Ting was completely dumbfounded, because if that was the case, she had no reason to self-destruct at all.

At this moment, Fan Zhongliang comforted her, saying, "What's past is past. Zheng Guangming is already dead, so let's pretend nothing happened. How could I possibly want to kill you? You are Yaoyao's mother, how could I possibly hurt you? I only have one request: you must not mention this to anyone unless you want me dead."

Chen Ting nodded blankly, then began to cry softly.

Fan Zhongliang quickly came over and hugged her, then told her, "Yaoyao is about to take the college entrance exam. We can't disturb or affect her, because the college entrance exam is something that will affect her happiness for the rest of her life."

Chen Ting nodded through her tears.

“Zheng Guangming is gone, and Zheng Tianlan is a good-for-nothing. I will try my best to get money out of the company. Once Yaoyao gets into university, we will sell this house, buy a house in the provincial capital, and never come back.”

Chen Ting asked with some skepticism, "Really?"

"Of course it's true, why would I lie to you?" Fan Zhongliang said with a smile.

But Chen Ting didn't know that at that very moment, Fan Zhongliang had already decided to kill her to silence her.

It wasn't because she discovered she had committed murder.

Rather, it was because she had cheated on him, and she had used the most vicious methods to humiliate and trample on a man's dignity!

She deserves to die! She deserves to die!
