The next day, Qin Jin returned to Beijing, and Li Qiao went to work, spending the whole morning organizing files.
In the afternoon, good news came from next door: Qian Wanguan from Xiong Village had confessed.
They hadn't even begun to interrogate him when he spilled everything.
He had killed Ma Tian.
The reason was that Ma Tian's young wife had once been in a relationship with him. They had separated due to family objections, but the two had kept in touch all these years. That night, Ma Tian discovered she had another man, and after an argument ensued, he strangled her in a fit of rage.
He fled to Qian's place.
Once Qian learned the ins and outs of the matter, he took his revenge by strangling Ma Tian and stuffing his body into a hayrick to destroy the evidence.
Ma Ling was shocked, "These two cases actually have a connection."
Xun Dong said, "Top Scholar thinks differently than us, solving two tough cases right after arriving."
