The flat-headed policeman asked suspiciously, "You said you were kidnapped last night, so how did you escape?"

Liu Chen hurriedly replied, "I got her back." ”

The flat-headed policeman raised his head and looked at Liu Chen again: "You got her back?"

"No, I found it in a place called Tongyu Village, and when I found her, she was tied up, but I didn't see anyone else. In the end, Liu Chen still didn't fully confess the details he knew to the police, nor did he confess Hu Bingcheng, let the police investigate these things themselves, anyway, he has no conclusive evidence, maybe when the police investigate Hu Bingcheng, he can be a yellow bird hiding in the back once.

Liu Chen didn't forget to glance at Qin Si and Li Rongfei, asking them to cooperate with their own rhythm, don't talk too much, you will lose if you say too much.

The Pingtou policeman wrote down the address of Tongyu Village, and then looked at Liu Chen with a strange look: "Nothing else to explain?"

Liu Chen smiled and faced the gaze of the flat-headed policeman, I have to say that this flat-headed policeman is a veteran of criminal investigation, his eyes are particularly sharp and sharp, as if he can reach the hearts of the people, and people with slightly poor psychological quality will be suppressed by his gaze.

"No more. Liu Chen replied calmly.

The flat-headed policeman sighed, patted his legs, and stood up: "Okay, then this inquiry is over, we will send someone to investigate the locations just mentioned, I hope you explain the truth." ”

Liu Chen said with a smile: "Check carefully, you will definitely get something." ”

After the flat-headed policeman and Liu Chen looked at each other for a few seconds, he lowered his head and said to Qin Si: "Miss Qin, then you have a good rest, we will leave first, and we may need your cooperation at that time." The flat-headed policeman turned to Liu Chen again, "And you." ”

"I will cooperate with you in the investigation of the case. ”

"Me too. ”

The flat-headed policeman turned around and left the ward with the policemen, and the moment he walked out of the ward, the flat-headed policeman also glanced back, and Liu Chen felt the sharpness of the policeman, which reminded him of Yang Ziming of the city bureau.

After the policeman left, Wu Sheng took the lead and said, "Brother Liu, I feel that the leading policeman is suspicious of you, and he has looked at you with scrutiny many times. ”

Liu Chen was not surprised by this: "I know that no one who has nothing to do with it would know so many detailed details, and it is right for him to be suspicious of me, but this also just shows that this policeman has a strong professional ability, in fact, I do have a lot of details about this matter that I have not revealed." ”

Li Rongfei said in a hurry: "Why don't you confess Hu Bingcheng? ”

"The person who kidnapped me is Hu Bingcheng?" Qin Si was shocked, she had always subconsciously thought that the person who kidnapped her was the person found by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and she would not have thought that it was Hu Bingcheng, because the day after coming to the provincial capital, he and Liu Chen went to Hu Bingcheng's residence, Blue Sky No. 1, and negotiated with Hu Bingcheng, he should not be so impulsive to kidnap him.

Liu Chen saw Qin Si's shocked face, nodded and said: "Well, in fact, I rescued you from the kidnapping group, not what I said to the police just now, I didn't say Hu Bingcheng because I didn't want to startle the snake, I have my plan." ”

Qin Si quickly accepted this fact calmly, "The person who kidnapped me is Hu Bingcheng, then it's not surprising, he can do everything." But what is the relationship between Manager Cao and Hu Bingcheng? In my impression, the two of them have nothing to do with each other, and he even scolded Hu Bingcheng in private. Compared with Hu Bingcheng, Manager Cao's approach made her feel even more puzzled.

Liu Chen also has such doubts, but he already has a countermeasure: "This needs to investigate Manager Cao's recent social activities, even the social activities of the past year, who he has contacted, what he has done, how can a person who is not used to Hu Bingcheng suddenly cooperate with him, something must have happened in this." ”

Liu Chen asked Li Rongfei and Xiaoyu to accompany Qin Si in the hospital, and he and Wu Sheng went to Yuejun Chinese Restaurant to inquire about some information, he hoped to be able to investigate the truth of the matter in front of the police, so that they could better take measures to deal with Hu Bingcheng, once the police intervened, coupled with Hu Bingcheng's energy in the provincial capital, they would be very passive.

Liu Chen and Wu Sheng drove to Yuejun Chinese Restaurant, and after parking the car at the door, Liu Chen got out of the car alone and went to the restaurant, and saw that Xiao Xu at the front desk was typing on the computer inside, he stepped forward and took off his sunglasses and knocked on the table gently.

Xiao Xu at the front desk looked up and saw that it was Liu Chen, who was investigating and monitoring with himself last night, and said in surprise: "It's you!"

Liu Chen hooked his finger at her: "Come out with me." ”

Xiao Xu at the front desk immediately put down his work and followed Liu Chen out of the restaurant.

Liu Chen motioned for Xiao Xu to walk towards the parking lot, "Come with me to the car and talk, I have something I want to ask you." ”

"Oh. Xiao Xu followed Liu Chen to the parking lot with a blank face, she realized that this conversation would take a while, so she turned around and shouted: "Xiaoyu, I'll go out for a while, you can help me take a look at the front desk." ”

The two came to the car, Liu Chen invited her to sit in the back seat, and then he followed suit.

Xiao Xu saw that there was another person in the car, and he began to be a little nervous in curiosity.

Liu Chen saw that Xiao Xu was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, just ask something and relax." ”

Xiao Xu gradually calmed down, and she took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to ask me?"

Liu Chen smiled and asked rhetorically, "Have the police come to look for you?"

Xiao Xu shook his head and looked at Liu Chen suspiciously: "No, why did the police come to us?"

After Liu Chen lowered his head and paused for a few seconds, he pondered his emotions and said, "Your Manager Cao was killed at his home in Huanghua Village last night, and the police will come to you soon to inquire about the investigation." ”

"What? Manager Cao is dead??? Xiao Xu opened her mouth in surprise, she couldn't believe her ears, she lowered her head and wandered away, it was difficult to accept this sudden incident, yesterday during the day, I saw Manager Cao help Mr. Qin sober up, I didn't expect it to be the last look, she raised her head again and asked, "That...... Then our Mr. Qin ......"

Xiao Xu couldn't ask, but she wanted to know, she was afraid to hear the same answer as Manager Cao, and looked at Liu Chen nervously.

Liu Chen said with a solemn face: "You Mr. Qin are fine, I got her back, and she is now in the hospital." ”

Knowing that Mr. Qin was fine, Xiao Xu breathed a long sigh of relief, and then she asked, "How did our Manager Cao die?"

"Poisoned to death. ”

Xiao Xu stroked his chest with his hand, and after taking a long time to calm down, he asked softly, "What do you want to ask me?"

Liu Chen also began to enter his own topic, "I want to ask you about some of your recent situation with Manager Cao, his social and activity range, and whether there are any abnormal situations." ”

Xiao Xu blinked and recalled: "Abnormal situation? It doesn't seem to be there, it's quite normal to come to the restaurant every day, it doesn't look like something is happening." ”

Liu Chen was not very satisfied with this answer, and he continued to prompt: "Think about it carefully, in the past week, a month, or even the past six months, has there been any different situations than usual?"

"If you go back so far, it seems like ...... It seems that he has been late to the store in the last month. Xiao Xu struggled to recall everything about Manager Cao, and found that the time had changed.

"Late?" Liu Chen confirmed.

"Well, he used to come to the restaurant in the morning, but in the last month, he has only come in the afternoon, and he has left relatively early, and every time I see him coming and going in a hurry, he seems to be very busy. ”

"Are you sure it's the last month?"

This time, Xiao Xu nodded very affirmatively and said: "Yes, I remember very clearly, before this change, he didn't come to the restaurant for about a week, saying that he had something to do in his hometown and asked for leave." ”

Sure enough, Manager Cao has had an abnormal situation in the past month, maybe this is a key discovery, he thought about it, and then asked: "I heard that he has a girlfriend, have you seen it?

Xiao Xu replied while tugging at his cuffs with both hands: "Yes, I've seen it, with short hair hanging down his shoulders, he looks quite cute, and he is dressed more fashionably." their feelings...... It used to be good, but I haven't seen it for a while, and judging from the status he posted on social software, it seems to be a breakup. ”

Liu Chen nodded slightly, Xiao Xu's statement was the same as Qin Si's, then Manager Cao should have broken up with that woman, but why did the two die together, were the two of them really dating at that time? This is where the suspicion lies.

"Are there any other situations that have happened, such as offending someone, or owing money outside?" Liu Chen tried to learn some about Manager Cao's social relations from Xiao Xu's mouth, and as a colleague who gets along day and night, he will have some understanding.

But Xiao Xu shook his head and denied Liu Chen's speculation: "I haven't heard of this, Manager Cao usually drinks a little, doesn't smoke or gamble, and his annual salary is hundreds of thousands, so he won't go to loan sharks." ”

"Also, what is the relationship between Mr. Qin and Manager Cao, do you get along harmoniously at work?"

"Their relationship is quite good, Mr. Qin was drunk yesterday afternoon, and Manager Cao helped him sober up. ”

Liu Chen felt even more strange, looking at Xiao Xu and Qin Si's own descriptions, Manager Cao and Qin Si did not have any hatred, and even had a good relationship, but why did Manager Cao poison Qin Si and trick him to the abandoned parking lot? Judging from the subsequent kidnapping incident, it was Hu Bingcheng who wanted to kidnap Qin Si, that is to say, Manager Cao was helping Hu Bingcheng to do things, but why did Manager Cao help Hu Bingcheng deal with Qin Si? It stands to reason that Manager Cao would not take the initiative to harm Qin Si, then he must have been coerced by Hu Bingcheng, what kind of handle did Manager Cao have in the hands of Hu Bingcheng, so that he had to do such a thing against his heart? These doubts are the key to the whole case.
