Chapter 622: The Net of Justice

Liu Huimin was 48 years old, going through menopause, had a fiery temper, and was difficult to talk to, but she worked very hard. This was the impression she left on the property manager and her colleagues.

And since she had been working well at the unit, her sudden resignation left a slight impression on her supervisor, but only a slight one.

In a place like Jingcheng, many people come and go, especially in ordinary property management positions. Those who aren't locals always resign for various reasons. Some cleaning ladies resign because they need to go home to take care of their children, some because they need to go home to build a house, some because they are too old, some because a family member is sick, and some simply resign because they are tired.

Liu Huimin didn't explain the reason for her resignation. The supervisor tried to persuade her to stay, offering an extra 200 yuan in salary, but Liu Huimin didn't agree, so that was the end of it.

As for where Liu Huimin went, the supervisor had no idea at all.

But for the police, Liu Huimin wasn't hard to find. She had indeed taken a long-distance bus home, didn't use her ID card, and her phone was turned off—they couldn't track her location. However, she hadn't explained the situation to her relatives and friends, nor could she. Meanwhile, her relatives and friends all had the good habit of posting on WeChat Moments and Douyin.

Therefore, under titles like "Fourth Sister came home to visit, everyone is making dumplings together," "The toy Fourth Aunt gave Niu Niu, Niu Niu loves it," and "Fourth Sister, who I haven't seen in three years, is here, the whole family is happy," Liu Huimin, though she didn't want to be on camera, still appeared in the photos.

They didn't even need to use technical means; Liu Huimin's geographical location was directly tagged below.

For the police, solving complex cases with simple methods is a daily routine. Compared to using forensic science, having two young police officers scroll through the suspect's social media circle was a much simpler task. It cost nothing, and young people didn't have back pain.

Of course, the breakthrough in this case used forensic botany, which was still a very high-end case. Because of this, when Liu Huimin was brought back, everyone was quite interested.

In the command center, some people even stood with their hands behind their backs watching the interrogation.

Jiang Yuan didn't squeeze in. He took his carload of people, found a place near the Shannan Provincial Office in Jingcheng, stir-fried a few hometown dishes, ordered a basin of rice, and the group finished everything clean.

The restaurant standard in Jingcheng was quite high. If you were willing to spend money, there was plenty of delicious food. But there was one problem with non-local cuisine: it was fine to try once, but eating it often became tiresome.

Jiang Yuan had been here for ten days, and his taste buds were already rebelling. The previous few days were the most intense stage of the case, and he hadn't had the time. Now that there was a gap, he wouldn't waste it at all.

It wasn't just Jiang Yuan; Mu Zhiyang and the others couldn't take it anymore either. Only after eating their fill did they let out a long breath, smack their lips, and say, "Actually, if you savor it carefully, this Shannan cuisine isn't very authentic..."

"It's fine. The ingredients used here are different, and the water is different, so how could it be exactly the same?" Wang Chuanxing covered his mouth with a napkin while picking his teeth. "You can tell when you go to Xijiang. Such simple barbecue, eating it there, it's delicious no matter what. Back here, it has all sorts of strange flavors, just not the Xijiang flavor."

"That's true. It's mainly because we've been eating at the cafeteria lately. The Jingcheng Branch cafeteria is still just a cafeteria." Mu Zhiyang sighed.

"I'll have my dad send some more stuff over later." Jiang Yuan casually proposed a plan, which was immediately approved by everyone.

Mu Zhiyang and the others didn't talk about money with Jiang Yuan anymore; there was no need, just freeloading was fine.

Afternoon.

Not long after Jiang Yuan and the others returned to the branch, Liu Huimin began to confess.

She described her crime process in detail and, like most murderers, tried to explain her justification:

"I talked to her nicely at the time. I said, 'Girl, we grew these vegetables. If you take a cucumber or pick a bunch of green onions occasionally, that's no problem. But you can't come over and pick them every few days...' That girl wouldn't listen to me and later started cursing. She cursed very nastily. I thought, I'm old, I can't let her curse at me like this. I happened to be holding a hoe in my hand, so I just gave her a hit..."

Regarding...

... such a motive for murder, or rather, a so-called reason, Liu Cheng and the others remained indifferent.

Crimes of passion are mostly like this. When it really comes to analyzing the pros and cons, people wouldn't commit murder. Instead, it's the most primitive, stupid impulse that makes people commit the most primitive, stupid acts. ===== CHAPTER 623 =====
