Transmigrated as My Aunt in the 70s

Chapter 515: Chapter 508: Duan Hongjun vs. Wang Shimin

Wang Shimin these days was like a walking corpse, absent-minded in class and even entering the wrong classroom several times. Both teachers and students understood his state of mind and didn’t say much about it.

However, some found it odd that since Wang Shimin was so worried about Teacher Shen, why hadn’t he visited Teacher Shen in the hospital?

It seemed from the time the incident occurred until now, Wang Shimin hadn’t visited the hospital even once!

Something was definitely off, and some concerned teachers reported this to the police. Captain Duan Hongjun, already frustrated with the theory that the murderer held a grudge against Sisi and the other two, had his eyes light up when he heard this. Such a suspicious person must be problematic.

Thus, Wang Shimin was invited by the Police Station for a chat, and it must be said, Wang Shimin was indeed a coward, with guts as small as a chicken’s. As soon as he saw a person wearing a big peaked cap, his legs turned to jelly, and his face turned pale with cold sweat dripping down.

Such a sight was the very image of a guilty conscience revealed!

At the Police Station, without waiting to be questioned, Wang Shimin spilled everything out. It turns out he thought the Police Station had already figured everything out, hoping for leniency in confession, and severe consequences for resistance; he wanted to make a clean breast of it before they even asked, possibly to reduce his sentence!

Sisi: With a pig’s brain like yours, you still think of harming others? Don’t you know that once you’re in the Police Station, you should play dumb even if it kills you?

Captain Duan Hongjun also found it amusing. Since he started his career, he had never encountered such a forthright murderer. They hadn’t even started, and the person had already willingly confessed?

Captain Duan Hongjun, though happy that the case was cracked, still felt disappointed that Wang Shimin was too weak, leaving him with no challenge whatsoever. He had already thought of several psychological interrogation strategies, none of which had to be used!

Wang Shimin sobbed, "Shen Baozhu told me that the powder would just cause allergies, causing rashes on the body, which is why I helped her poison people. I really didn’t know it was deadly poison! Wuu!"

Captain Duan Hongjun looked at the crying Wang Shimin with contempt; such a weakling, worse than a woman!

"Shen Baozhu had you poison whom?"

Captain Duan Hongjun actually had his doubts as well. Since the poison was given to Wang Shimin by Shen Baozhu, why did she get poisoned too?

Could it be that Wang Shimin, out of love turned to hatred, harbored a murderous intent towards Shen Baozhu?

Taking another look at Wang Shimin, crying with a face full of snot and tears, Captain Duan Hongjun dismissed the doubt. If Wang Shimin dared to poison someone for Shen Baozhu, it’s unlikely he would harm her.

It seems this case is really out of the ordinary!

Wang Shimin choked back sobs and replied, "Shen Baozhu was the one who wanted to hurt He Sisi. I half-poisoned He Sisi’s drink, but then I saw the teacup of Liu Tielan, her neighbor, and couldn’t help but put the remaining half into Liu Tielan’s cup to give her a hard time, too."

"Why did Shen Baozhu want to hurt He Sisi?" asked Captain Duan.

"She was wronged by He Sisi in the past, accused of stealing and couldn’t hold her head up in school, which is why Shen Baozhu wanted to teach He Sisi a lesson."

An officer whispered a few words in Captain Duan’s ear, information he had gathered from Normal School, "Captain, Shen Baozhu really did steal. Principal Gu and Mr. He, to protect the school’s reputation, just had Shen Baozhu quietly return the items without making a fuss."

Captain Duan’s opinion of Shen Baozhu grew even poorer, dismayed that a college teacher could have such deteriorated morals, a disgrace to the teaching profession!

Captain Duan questioned Wang Shimin a bit more and then lost interest. Wang Shimin could be described as the most cooperative criminal in history, answering any question posed to him, more obedient than a kindergarten child.

However, Captain Duan was even more certain that the poison in Shen Baozhu’s cup was not put there by Wang Shimin, which made the person who did poison it all the more intriguing!

He Sisi had said she tasted bitterness in her tea and poured it away.

The concentration of Cocaine in Shen Baozhu’s teacup was only half of that in He Sisi and Liu Tielan’s cups.

Sisi and Shen Baozhu have been in conflict from the beginning.

...

Duan Hongjun deliberated over these questions in his mind and revealed an enigmatic smile on his face, thinking once again about the scene when Sisi subdued ten bad guys all by herself.

Impressive!

It seems that the Deputy Secretary’s Wife is quite extraordinary!

However, he then thought of Sisi’s legendary tales in Jianghu and didn’t find it too strange anymore.

But what puzzled Duan Hongjun even more was that it seemed Sisi knew Shen Baozhu was going to act against her all along, which is why she switched the drug-laced tea to Shen Baozhu as soon as she sensed something was amiss. Still, this Deputy Secretary’s Wife seemed to have shown some mercy, only giving half of the spiked tea to Shen Baozhu—perhaps she just wanted Shen Baozhu to suffer a bit?

And Sisi probably didn’t expect Shen Baozhu to be so bold as to use such a banned drug to harm people, nor did Shen Baozhu anticipate that Wang Shimin, the fool, would take matters into his own hands and harm another person, complicating what was originally a simple case.

Another key question is, where did Shen Baozhu get the drug from?

Huang Yuan wouldn’t have such banned drugs at all, and Shen Baozhu didn’t stay anywhere else after coming back from the United States; she came straight to Huang Yuan.

So, it’s very likely that she brought the drug from abroad!

Duan Hongjun sat alone in his office, meticulously unraveling the case and slowly closing in on the truth, but the more he thought about it, the more his heart raced.

If the drug in Shen Baozhu’s hands was brought back from abroad, it would mean that Shen Baozhu’s purpose of returning to the country from the start was to harm He Sisi.

However, according to his investigation, He Sisi and Shen Baozhu had never met at all. How could Shen Baozhu possibly ruin her own future for someone she had never met?

Unless she was coerced into it?

It’s said that the circle above is rather chaotic!

Duan Hongjun dared not think further and forced himself to stop there. He knew what followed was out of his league; if not handled well, he could lose more than his position—he could lose his life.

However, Duan Hongjun didn’t want to waste this rare opportunity, so after a bit of thought, he made a decision.

A few days later, Duan Hongjun found Sisi.

"Mr. He, Wang Shimin has confessed everything. The drugs were given to him by Shen Baozhu. Shen Baozhu only asked him to target you, Mr. He, but Wang Shimin took it upon himself to harm Liu Tielan and Shen Baozhu too."

When Duan Hongjun said this, his face wore a profound smile, as if to convey: I already know the truth.

Sisi was unimpressed, feigning surprise, "Eh, isn’t Wang Shimin the lover of Shen Baozhu?"

Duan Hongjun smiled, revealing a set of white teeth, "Isn’t this a case of hate born from love? Shen Baozhu refused to agree to marry Wang Shimin, and so he was consumed by malice."

"So that’s how it is, ah, love indeed hurts!" Sisi thought it was amusing internally but showed a look of pity on her face. Looking at Duan Hongjun who smiled like a sly fox, she had an idea and said with a laugh: "Captain Duan is really comparable to Sherlock Holmes, you’re bound to have a promising future!"

Duan Hongjun felt relieved inside and cheerfully bid farewell to Sisi, leaving with a smile—it seems he had made the right move!

As for Wang Shimin in prison, who Duan Hongjun had duped into confessing to the plot to harm three people, let him rot!
