"At the scene, a supermarket receipt was found."
The female officer took out a crumpled receipt and said, "This is for a bottle of wine purchased three days ago at your home, and it wasn't cheap."
"But we searched the entire house and found no sign of that bottle of wine."
"Moreover, the test results have come back, indicating that Mrs. Shen did indeed show signs of electrocution before her death."
"Therefore, this was not a crime of passion, but rather premeditated murder!"
Captain Gao looked at her and asked, "So, what you mean is..."
The female officer turned to me and said, "The person who bought the wine is the murderer."
"The purchase of the wine was intended to cause Mrs. Shen's electrocution."
"And Yan Qingmin was taking the blame for her daughter!"
Several officers turned their gazes toward me.
I replied calmly, "A single receipt can prove that I made the purchase?"
The female officer responded, "Although the supermarket doesn't have surveillance cameras, the bank across the street does."
"After our verification, the face captured on the surveillance footage is indeed yours."
"Furthermore, on the day of the incident, the elementary school student you were tutoring had their whole family out on a trip."
"If you knew about this in advance, then you would have had ample time to commit the crime."
"In other words, you would have had a sufficient alibi."
"But if all of this was arranged by the student's parents, then you would also know in advance that the elementary school student's family would be going out for a trip."
"This way, you could create an alibi."
After finishing her statement, the female officer looked at Captain Gao.
Captain Gao stared at me with a look of doubt.
Clearly, he was also questioning me.
I smiled slightly and said, "What a meticulous reasoning."
"But there is one point of doubt."
"Then why should I kill Grandma?"
The female officer said, "Because Shen Dajun is not home, and Yan Qingmin is working outside."
"Only Mrs. Shen is at home."
"So you used her to kill your grandmother."
I retorted, "If I wanted to kill someone, why not kill my mom too?"
The female officer was at a loss for words: "Well..."
Another officer chimed in, "Because your mom would resist."
"And she might not be willing to take the blame for you."
I laughed, "What about my dad?"
"Wouldn't he resist?"
"Why wasn't he the first to die?"
The officer replied, "Because your dad has a tendency towards violence against your mom and is often not at home."
"So you chose to kill your grandmother."
I sighed, "It seems I'm left with no way to argue."
Captain Gao patted my shoulder and said, "Shen Lin, you can go back for now."
"You can't take these two bodies yet."
"We'll notify you once we've completed our investigation."
I questioned, "Haven't you already figured it out?"
Captain Gao smiled wryly, "We thought the case was closed."
"But it seems it's not that simple."
"And your suspicion is quite significant."
"So you'll need to come with us to the police station for questioning."
"I just can't understand this."
"Since my mom has already confessed, why do you have to spend so much time investigating?"
"If someone has confessed, can't you just close the case?"
"Why does it have to be so complicated?"
I shouted in the police station.
Captain Gao handed me a cigarette, trying to calm me down. "Shen Lin, don't get worked up."
"This is a serious criminal case involving two lives, and the circumstances are extremely severe."
"Your mom's confession is just one side of the story."
"We need to uncover the truth."
I yelled, "Then why isn't domestic violence considered a crime?"
"Why didn't you seek the truth when my mom was being abused?"
"Why didn't you care when my mom was being abused?"
"Now that someone is dead, you start to care!"
"Two lives lost, and suddenly it's a severe situation!"
"When my mom was being abused, where were you?"
"Where the hell were all of you?"
