During the interrogation, the police would make a basic judgment based on the existing evidence and the suspect's confession.

First, they would determine whether the crime was committed by the suspect based on the evidence they had already gathered. From the conversations, the two officers observed that Jia Wenjun had a very strong rejection and denial regarding the murder of Zhao Di and the stabbing of Lü Maowang. However, the video clearly showed her pushing the person down, and Lü Maowang also said that Jia Wenjun stabbed him.

This presented two extreme scenarios: either Jia Wenjun was still denying the crime despite the overwhelming evidence, indicating a deep and cunning mind, making her a formidable opponent.

Or Jia Wenjun was being framed. Who filmed the video, and who was the person in the video who looked so much like her and wore the same clothes?

Regardless of the situation, it was extremely difficult for the investigators.

Jia Wenjun issued a verbal eviction notice. For criminal suspects who do not need to be arrested or detained, the maximum duration of continuous interrogation is 12 hours.

This was a hospital, so the time was further reduced accordingly.

The female officer saw the male officer nod slightly. She handed Jia Wenjun the written record from earlier and asked her to sign it.

Jia Wenjun saw a sentence on it that read: "The above is basically consistent with what I said."

She saw that the recorded content was very superficial, not even mentioning what she said about Lü Maowang, stating that there was no evidence.

She felt a pang of sadness, knowing that they had seen the video and believed she was the suspect in Zhao Di's murder. She didn't have any stronger evidence to prove her innocence, and she couldn't think of a better way, but she could find helpers. Three cobblers are as good as one Zhuge Liang; she didn't believe she couldn't find any loopholes.

She looked at the two police officers, "Can I see my parents?"

The male officer was silent for a few seconds, "Yes."

Jia Wenjun didn't delay. If she didn't sign the record, their trip would be for nothing. She picked up the pen and quickly signed it before handing it to them, "When can I see them?"

"In a while." The female officer took it, stood up, and followed the male officer out.

As soon as they closed the door, the female officer frowned, "Brother Lin, Jia Wenjun doesn't seem easy to crack."

Usually, they would use strategies such as policy persuasion and education to further clarify the facts of the crime based on the existing clues. They thought she was just a small property staff member, and she would reveal something with a few words, but they didn't expect Jia Wenjun to be so stable, seemingly impervious to any approach.

The female officer was a rookie. Compared to her impatience, the male officer was much calmer, "It's nothing. I've handled several cases where convictions were obtained without any confession. Interrogation is just one method of collecting evidence in a case. Now, more and more suspects choose to remain silent during interrogation, and the importance of confession is actually decreasing. Her silence doesn't mean she can't be convicted. As long as there's enough evidence, she can't escape."

The female officer's spirits lifted instantly, "Then should we go and talk to other people to understand the situation?"

They had already met with Lü Maowang and Bai Ma Shan to understand the situation on the boat.

From the conversation, they found that Lü Maowang's eyes always glared intentionally or unintentionally. This type of person is usually neurotic. From his occasional incoherent words, they could also feel that this person lacked patience and was not calm. The veracity of his statements was questionable.

On the other hand, Bai Ma Shan was neither humble nor arrogant throughout the conversation. He listened patiently, answered earnestly, and spoke clearly and logically.

That's not to say that what Bai Ma Shan said was necessarily true. After all, according to others, Bai Ma Shan and Jia Wenjun were "in cahoots."

In this situation, they couldn't simply determine how credible Bai Ma Shan's words were. His logic and reason may just be a carefully planned disguise. People who don't show their emotions are usually introverted, don't reveal their talents, and don't easily tell outsiders their true thoughts. Compared to Lü Maowang, Bai Ma Shan was a person who should be treated with more caution.

The male officer thought for a while, "Let's go see that Sun Jiaojiao."

"Sun Jiaojiao?" The female officer opened the record, "I learned from the doctor that Sun Jiaojiao just had a miscarriage on the boat. Is it okay for us to question her now?"

"Just a simple understanding of the situation, it's fine."

The two walked to Sun Jiaojiao's ward. After knocking on the door and entering, the female officer showed Sun Jiaojiao their identification and explained their purpose. Sun Jiaojiao, lying on the bed, seemed not to hear them. She was expressionless, staring straight at the ceiling of the ward, not blinking.

"Sun Jiaojiao, we want to understand the situation on the boat. Please cooperate with us and answer a few questions."

Sun Jiaojiao still didn't speak, treating the two as air.

"Sun Jiaojiao?" The female officer approached the bed and gently touched Sun Jiaojiao's messy hair. Her eyes were dull, and she was lying in the quilt, not knowing what she was thinking.

This touch seemed to have turned on a switch, making Sun Jiaojiao act like crazy, grabbing the female officer's collar all of a sudden, "The child, my child!"

The female officer was startled by the disheveled woman with bloodshot eyes and screamed. The male officer stepped forward and pulled Sun Jiaojiao's hand away, "Let go!"

Sun Jiaojiao was very strong, but after all, she was a woman. The male officer forcefully pulled her hand away, causing her to transfer her anger to the man, "It's you, you kicked my child away, it's you, you murderer!"

The female officer was afraid that the woman would go crazy again, so she rang the bell to get the doctor to come in quickly.

Sun Jiaojiao's attending physician and two nurses came in and gave Sun Jiaojiao a sedative. The hysterical Sun Jiaojiao slowly calmed down.

The doctor explained to the two police officers that Sun Jiaojiao was emotionally unstable because of the loss of her child. If possible, they should wait until she had recovered for a while before questioning her.

"How did her miscarriage happen?" the male officer asked.

"She suffered a miscarriage due to severe external force to her uterus."

The male officer remembered that other people on the boat had said that Sun Jiaojiao had been kicked hard in the abdomen by a drug dealer. He confirmed with the doctor that it was that kick that caused Sun Jiaojiao to miscarry.

At this moment, no one noticed a tear rolling down the corner of Sun Jiaojiao's eye as she lay in bed.

She thought that Gong Dalong had caused her to lose the child, so she killed Gong Dalong. She didn't expect that the child was miscarried because of the kick from the drug dealer. Sun Jiaojiao tightly grasped the sheets under the quilt, feeling panicked and regretful. She couldn't tell the truth about Gong Dalong's death, not even if she died.
