Visa On Arrival Chapter 42
byeverything is over
When Qi Ranyue found the woman, it was raining.
She stood at the alley of the urban village holding an umbrella. Water poured down from the eaves and formed a turbid stream at her feet.
She found the address in a copy of the letter of understanding she found in the cracks of the file. It was signed with a name she had never heard of: Liu Xiuying.
The door was opened a crack.
The woman was wrapped in a faded cotton jacket, her hair tied back casually, and the cry of a child could be heard behind her.
The moment she saw Qi Ranyue, her eyes flashed, and that flash indicated a guilty conscience.
“Are you Zhou Yue’s wife?” Qi Ranyue asked.
The woman said nothing and clenched her fingers tightly on the door frame.
Su Wan took out a photo from her bag.It belongs to Chen Rong.
“She is dead.” Qi Ranyue said, “Your husband hit her with a car.”
Liu Xiuying’s lips trembled.”I…the court has already sentenced…”
“I know.” Qi Ranyue put the photo away and said in a calm voice, “Ten years in prison. Although he has surrendered and has family difficulties, he is not ‘subjectively malignant.'”
She paused, “But did you know? His car had a GPS. Forty minutes before the accident, he stopped at that intersection for a long time.”
Liu Xiuying’s face turned pale.
Qi Ranyue spent half a year hiring a private detective, adjusting bank statements, and checking Xu Xingci’s journal. She treated herself like a machine, going to work during the day, checking information at night, and going to the court on weekends to find witnesses and make appointments with lawyers.She has lost a lot of weight, but her eyes are brighter than before.
The key evidence is a screenshot of the remittance.
Three days before the incident, Xu Xingci transferred 1.8 million to a private account in four installments.
She didn’t recognize the name of the payee, but following the investigation, she found that the money was transferred from Qi Yihuai to Xu Xingci, and then from him to Liu Xiuying’s family.
1.8 million.Buy a life.
Qi Ranyue stared at the numbers on the screen for a long time.
Then he turned off the computer, walked to the balcony, and stood facing the night sky for a while.
“I can help your husband write a letter of understanding.” Qi Ranzhu sat opposite Liu Xiuying and pushed a cup of hot water over.
“Your husband was involved in a hit-and-run accident that resulted in death, and the sentence will be harsh. But if you testify in court and identify Xu Xingci as the person responsible for the threat, I can help you hire the best lawyer to fight for a reduced sentence. Your husband’s sentence will not be much longer than it is now, and it may even be less.”
Liu Youying lowered her head and twisted her clothes with her fingers.
Qi Ranyue took out an envelope from her bag and pushed it over, “As for the 1,800,000, I won’t get it back. You don’t have to worry about your child’s tuition and living expenses.”
The envelope was very thick, but Liu Xiuying didn’t touch it. She just looked at the envelope, tears falling on the table drop by drop.
“I…my husband said he just hit someone, he didn’t expect anyone to die…”
Qi Ranyue said nothing. She waited for Liu Xiuying to finish crying.
“The person your husband hit,” Qi Ranyue said softly, “is my lover.”
Liu Xiuying suddenly raised her head.
“So I’m not helping you.” Qi Ranyue’s eyes were calm, “I’m helping myself. I want to let the really damn people in.”
On the day of the trial, Qi Ranyue sat in the last row of the auditorium.
Liu Xiuying stood on the witness stand and identified Xu Xingci. Her voice was trembling, but every word was clear.
Xu Xingci’s lawyer tried to refute, but the screenshot of the remittance, the communication records of the three months, and the GPS track, all the evidence fit together like a complete puzzle.
When the judge pronounced the sentence, Qi Ranyue walked out of the court. Tianzhenlan stood on the steps and took a deep breath, “There is only one person left.”
It was already evening when Qi Ranyue returned home.
There was no light on in the living room, the curtains were still open at the same angle as in the morning, and there was an unfolded blanket thrown on the sofa.
She changed into slippers, put her bag on the entryway cabinet, walked into the kitchen and poured a glass of water. The coolness slid down her throat, and she felt that she was really back.
Qi Ranyue turned on the computer and plugged in the USB flash drive. She sorted out the evidence for three days.
The screenshot of the bank statement is marked with a red arrow, starting from the Ruan family’s company account, pointing to Qi Yihuai, and then pointing from Xu Xingci to Liu Xiuying’s husband.
The flow of every money is clear, like a chain, interlocking.
The transfer date, amount, and remarks are all aligned in a table.
Finally, a timeline chart is attached, showing the time points corresponding to each transfer in the three days before the incident, as well as the forty minutes that the GPS showed that the car stayed at that intersection.
She stared at the screen for a long time and created a new email. The recipient was Ruan Zhenchuan, Chen Rong’s grandfather, the old man who pulled her back from the abyss with a few words in the tea room.
The text is very short.
“This is all the evidence that Xu Xingci hired someone to cause the car accident. The driver who caused the accident has agreed to testify in court. The confession and bank statements are in the attachment. In addition, the actual controller of the remittance account is your son-in-law Qi Yihuai, and the money was transferred from the Ruan family to his account and then out. Your son-in-law killed her.”
Ruan Zhenchuan knew the importance of this matter. That was the only heir he recognized, the child he had watched grow up, and the person who signed the death certificate with his own hand.
She pressed send.
A message indicating that the email was successfully sent pops up and disappears quickly.
She received a reply from Ruan Zhenchuan.
“Hmm”
Su Wan looked at that word and suddenly smiled.Very short, very light, as if leaking from the corners of the mouth.She put the phone down and hugged her knees tighter.
The street lights outside the window stayed on all night.
She didn’t cry either.
A few days later, Qi Yihuai’s body was found by the river in the east of the city.
Qi Ranyue stood outside the cordon and watched the forensic doctor put the person into a body bag.
His face was white from soaking, but his collar was still neat, so no one was surprised.
She turned to look at the embankment in the distance. There was a black car parked there with the window rolled down halfway.
Sitting in the back row was Ruan Zhenchuan.
Across the entire river, the old man nodded slightly towards her.
Qi Ranyue looked back.The wind takes away the smell of the river water, which is fishy and cool.
It’s all over.
