Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 154 The Hand of God 7
If your wife dies in another man's house in the middle of the night, anyone with eyes can see what's going on.

Extramarital affairs, extramarital affairs that are embarrassing and infuriating.

Huang Yilin's emotions perfectly capture the reaction of a man who unexpectedly discovers his wife's infidelity: bewilderment, disbelief, anger, building up layer by layer, culminating in him shouting for Zhou Yan to come out and explain.

The Zou couple, who had fainted, were awakened by his shouting. Upon hearing about the extramarital affair, their first reaction was to deny it.

"That's impossible! Over the years, Yuxuan has only ever dated you. You can't misunderstand her, Yilin!"

Huang Yilin slumped down, dejected, and murmured, "I also want to ask, after all these years... why would she sneak off to Zhou Yan's house late at night, and tell me she was staying at your place and wouldn't be back until tomorrow night, two days and two nights... I know Zhou Yan pursued her. We broke up for a while when we were in college, and she almost got together with Zhou Yan back then..."

It's a truly poignant story. What seemed like a perfect, flawless love turned out to be fraught with unpleasantness only after the wife's death.

"The acting is really good. Their attention is all focused on Zou Yuxuan's infidelity. They don't have time to care how she died." Tan Jia watched the scene and sneered with his arms crossed.

Although it would be biased to conclude that Huang Yilin is the murderer right now, Zheng Yan couldn't help but comment: "The people who came were quite complete, both sets of parents, two friends, and before long, everyone who came to inquire about the deceased would know that she died from infidelity."

“That’s not all,” Tan Jia said casually. “When the truth about the child comes out, he will be shocked and heartbroken. Friends and relatives who don’t know the facts will immediately think that the deceased had been cheating on his wife for half a year, got pregnant with his lover’s child, and even tried to make him, her poor husband, take the blame and raise the child. You can know a person’s face but not their heart. Poor Xiao Huang. It’s definitely not Xiao Huang who killed the person.”

Xiao Chen almost burst out laughing.

It's kind of funny when she's being sarcastic.

At this moment, they noticed that Huang Yilin suddenly fell silent, staring blankly to one side.

Zhou Yan walked over, his face pale.

Huang Yilin suddenly sprang into action, shoving his parents aside and rushing over to deliver a powerful punch. Zhou Yan didn't dodge, taking the punch squarely, and was then grabbed by the collar and lifted up.

"You mistress, you bitch! You killed her, give Yuxuan back to me!"

Across from them stood Zou Yuxuan's parents, who were teetering on the brink of collapse. Zhou Yan dared not look any longer and could only try his best to clarify the situation while being beaten.

“I didn’t kill her! She only came to see me because she had something to discuss. We parted ways at 10:30 last night, and I didn’t spend the night in the same room with her! Huang Yilin, please don’t hit her! I’m tolerating you for your aunt and uncle’s sake…”

"Do you dare say nothing happened between you and her?!"

"...Yes, it happened, but it was an accident, just that one time!"

"So grand and dignified!"

"It was really an accident! She shouldn't have gone to the wrong place; she seemed a bit off at the time..."

wrong.

Not right.

Tan Jia turned her head and met Zheng Yan's thoughtful expression, and said, "It seems we haven't considered whether Zhou Yan's relationship with the deceased on February 26th was an accident?"

"Drunken promiscuity" is an excuse that many cheating men and women like to use, but if Zhou Yan is telling the truth, could that accident have been deliberately designed by someone?

Who would design these things?

They all had the same answer: Huang Yilin.

Could it be that Huang Yilin is truly infertile, so he went so far as to orchestrate a one-night stand between his wife and another man to have a child and silence the gossip? Or perhaps Huang Yilin already had a lover, but his marriage to the deceased seemed too perfect to outsiders, and he didn't want to be the first to file for divorce and give others cause for gossip, so he orchestrated his wife's infidelity so he could stand on moral high ground to condemn the deceased and smoothly get a divorce?
Xiao Chen went to stop Huang Yilin and Zhou Yan from fighting. Tan Jia whispered his guess to Zheng Yan and suggested that they investigate Huang Yilin's whereabouts on February 26.

Even if the forensic doctor is ultimately unable to detect the injuries on the deceased's body and the excessive insulin injected into her body, their multiple pieces of evidence proving that Huang Yilin had planned to kill his wife long ago may become a powerful means to force him to confess and get him sentenced smoothly.

Zheng Yan naturally agreed. The criminal investigation team sorted out the known clues and then each member took on a task and got busy.

Watching them leave, Huang Yilin raised his head, glanced quickly at their backs, then lowered his head again, painfully pulling at his hair.

Zhou Yan, with a bruised and swollen face, was still explaining his relationship with Zou Yuxuan to the Zou couple when he was suddenly asked, "Did you recognize Yuxuan's body and call the police to have them investigate?"

Zhou Yan looked at Huang Yilin, not understanding why he asked this trivial question so calmly.

Two former high school classmates stared at each other, their eyes swirling with suspicion, hatred, and guilt.

Finally, Zhou Yan replied, "No. I really did stay at a hotel last night, and I wasn't with Yu Xuan. I rushed over after hearing about the fire, and they were already there investigating."

Huang Yilin's eyelids twitched as he looked in the direction the group of police officers had left, seemingly realizing something was wrong, and his face twitched slightly.

……

In the evening, the forensic doctor informed them of the autopsy results.

"Fortunately, there were still some things left on the body that could be examined. It can be seen that the deceased was cremated after death, as no burns were found and there was no soot in the trachea."

"But we can't detect exogenous insulin, and we can't find the injection site given the condition of the body. However, we can confirm that the deceased suffered external injury to her head because there are two pieces of mirror stuck in the remaining flesh on her head."

Finally, Old Li took out a can of bloody, mangled flesh and said in a heavy tone, "The child is Zhou Yan's. At three months old, the fetus is basically formed; its hands, feet, ears, and nose are all distinguishable, and it has gender characteristics. It should have been a healthy boy."

After saying that, he shook his head and said, "The murderer is utterly depraved."

Zheng Yan took the small jar and sighed heavily.

Tan Jia looked at the things inside, trying to distract herself by thinking about other things so that she wouldn't feel so heavy-hearted.

For example, she hadn't figured out what to sculpt for this case. Besides the scene of the deceased being burned, perhaps she could also sculpt the child. This was the key factor that led to this case.

Despite her rambling thoughts, she couldn't help but take another look, only to belatedly feel a wave of nausea wash over her.

"Captain Zheng," someone reported, "we've found Huang Yilin's biography and medical records!"

When it comes to reviewing medical records, Lao Li is the best person to do it. He can translate the complex and unfamiliar terminology into easy-to-understand information.

Old Li quickly read through the entire book and, sure enough, picked one of the items.

"Has he had brucellosis before?"

Tan Jia asked curiously, "What kind of illness is this?"

"It is a zoonotic infectious disease that often occurs in pastoral areas. Veterinarians and slaughterhouse workers are also relatively susceptible to infection. In the past, it was called 'lazy man's disease' because when it flares up, it causes repeated high fever, muscle pain, and weakness. But this disease has a unique characteristic: if the symptoms are not treated properly and it recurs repeatedly, the person will carry the virus for life and become infertile."
