Chapter 5: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole 1

Tao Yaping returned home and fell headlong on the bed, physically and mentally exhausted. When I first joined the Criminal Investigation Squadron, the police repeatedly emphasized that physical evidence would not lie.

They were convinced that her claim of having scratched the assailant was nothing more than an illusion created by a person in a state of extreme panic.

It is normal for the brain to have a deviation in the memory of the details of things at a critical moment.

"When we get the suspect back and interrogate her, we'll find out if she's a clone or not. These were the last words Officer Tan said, and his tone was full of banter.

Human cloning? Of course not. Tao Yaping would not be stupid enough to believe such nonsense. She was a little glad that despite the fact that the case had become so bizarre, the young policeman still seemed confident that he would succeed in solving the case.

But she was also worried, how long would it take to catch the murderer? Two or three days, or ten days and half a month?

Did she have to live in fear all this time? When she opened her eyes, she happened to see a photo with her son on the bedside table.

The woman had been near the school for three days in a row, and it was likely that she was trying to do something to the child. She was already injured, what if something happened to the child?

She sat up like an electric shock and began to think anxiously about what to do. After careful consideration, Tao Yaping decided to ask Liu Cong to come back for a few days temporarily.

After all, if there is a man in the family, it will always be safer. Thinking of this man, she couldn't help but feel sad again.

When he was young, how many people pursued him, and finally married him. Liu Cong was indeed very competitive back then, well-dressed and dignified, full of sweet words.

The two got a certificate after a year of dating, and had a child three years after marriage. Tao Yaping has a good education and does a light job, and her husband is engaged in the financial industry and earns a lot of money.

For the first ten years, she had been living under the envious gaze of others, and those words of envy, flattery, and worship surrounded her all day long.

For a moment, she thought she was really in heaven. Until one day, Liu Cong suddenly confessed to himself without warning that he had a mistress outside and was pregnant.

He wants a divorce! Tao Yaping's perfect world suddenly collapsed. All the good things of the past were smashed into countless pieces, and mercury was scattered all over the ground.

Each fragment is a memory of their time together. Once warm and sweet, now it is cold and sharp.

Occasionally you want to pick up a piece and look at it, but you will be stung and cut. Is he too stupid or is he too good at acting, and he doesn't even notice the slightest abnormality?

That night, she didn't lose her temper, just silently hid under the quilt and cried all night. She refused to sign the divorce agreement, and she avoided it, even if her husband later moved directly to another residence and blatantly cohabited with the mistress.

She also chose to turn a blind eye. If this kind of thing happened to Yuan Xiaomin, it would definitely not end like this.

Xiao Min is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, he doesn't make a fuss, the fish die and the net is broken, and he refuses to give up.

But Tao Yaping is different. She doesn't make trouble, she endures. Sooner or later, the freshness of a man will pass, and one day he will be moved by my tolerance and generosity, and suddenly the prodigal son will turn back.

She always stubbornly thinks so. So she has been dragging it until now, and the child who dragged it over there is about to come out, and she refuses to face it or solve it.

Asking Liu Cong to come back to live this time may be a rare opportunity to temporarily ease the relationship between their husband and wife.

But soon, Tao Yaping realized that she was too naïve and optimistic. In the café, after Liu Cong listened to her statement, his first reaction was to count his wife down with a face: "What are you doing! I don't know what to put in my head all day long." How can you let someone else take advantage of such a big loophole and copy all your information? and come home with a knife, but you don't even know who the other party is......" Tao Yaping did not defend herself.

She was very aggrieved, in fact, she wanted to know more than anyone else what the reason for all this was.

When a man has completely lost his feelings for you, all arguments are futile.

He will look at you unpleasantly and find fault everywhere. Whatever you do, whatever you say is wrong, even your breath is wrong.

"These days...... Can you move back in?" she lowered her figure and pleaded, "When the police catch the murderer and our danger is lifted, you can leave." Liu Cong kept a straight face, and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he still clearly refused: "Move back to live...... I'm afraid it won't work during this time. Meimei's belly is already very big, and she keeps shouting that she is uncomfortable, and she can't be home alone at night, what if something happens?" Tao Yaping felt cold in her heart.

Things have come to this point, but he didn't care about himself except for the accusations. She lowered her head sadly and asked in a low voice, "You don't ask me how the injury on my leg is, just thinking that the big belly needs to be taken care of." Now someone is going to kill me, and my life is on the line! Is it that our relationship after ten years of marriage is not as good as that of a child who has not yet been born?" she didn't want to quarrel, so she spoke very softly.

It's so embarrassing to quarrel in public. She wanted to try to save some decency for each other. Liu Cong was a little embarrassed by this sentence, and squeaked and quibbled: "Just now...... You yourself said that the injury was not serious. Didn't you say you just need to rub some medicine every day? And the police are already arresting people. You...... You calculate how much the medical expenses have spent, and I'll transfer it to you later. "Money, money again.

Now the man is no longer willing to give anything for himself except money. Tao Yaping smiled bitterly, and patiently made the final persuasion: "It's okay if you don't take me as a wife, but don't you take Haohao as a son? That's your own flesh and blood." Now that his personal safety is threatened, are you really so ruthless that you don't care at all?" Speaking of his son, Liu Cong hesitated, as if he really couldn't bear it.

He thought for a while, and then replied, "Or, you just move out first and rent a house nearby for the time being." Hide from the man. I'll pay the rent. Or, you can send Haohao directly to me. Wait until the police catch someone and pick them up when it's safe. Tao Yaping was silent.

It wasn't the answer she wanted. Liu Cong raised his hand and looked at his watch, as if he had no intention of fighting, and decided to retreat.

He got up and buttoned up his suit and said, "Give me a call when you're done, I have to go back to the company now." During working hours, I can only spare half an hour. He pulled out his wallet, pulled out two hundred-dollar bills and pressed them under his coffee cup, then turned to leave.

There was only one poor woman left looking out the window, helpless and powerless. It was the first time she had felt it deeply since months of separation

"Despair". This ridiculous marriage may really be at the end of its rope, and it can no longer be saved, whether it is procrastination or begging.

Tao Yaping didn't have a choice. She didn't have any relatives in the city, so she was forced to send her son to Liu Cong.

After all, the safety of the child is above all else. Before going out, Hao Hao asked aggrievedly: "Mom, why do I want to go to Dad's place to live." Don't you want me?"

"Why wouldn't Mom want you? Tao Yaping squatted down, holding the child's little face, reluctantly,

"It's just that my mother has a leg injury and needs to recuperate, so it's not convenient to take care of you during this time. When my leg doesn't hurt anymore, I'll go and get you back right away, okay?"

"Hmm!" Hao Hao nodded vigorously,

"Then let's pull the hook hook. "Today's children are very precocious, and many children already know it when they go to kindergarten

The word "divorce" is gone. Although Tao Yaping often comforts her son

"Dad will definitely come back", but in the heart of six-year-old Liu Zhehao, if his parents don't live together, they should have been

"Divorced".

After the "divorce", he could only have one, and he chose to have his mother. After sending the child back to her villa, Tao Yaping tightly inserted the anti-theft chains on the front and rear doors, and then dragged her injured leg and moved two chairs behind the door, and brought an anti-wolf electric baton into the bedroom and put it at the head of the bed.

After making these preparations, she felt a lot more relieved. In fact, through the last brief confrontation, Tao Yaping didn't think that the mysterious woman was so-called

"Professional killer". If so, he would definitely be gone. Judging by her posture and movements, she is an ordinary person, even older than herself.

Last time, it happened suddenly, and I was unprepared, so I was very scrambling to deal with it. If she dares to come again, she will definitely not be afraid to just run away, and she must get some clues.

Tao Yaping plucked up the courage to sleep like this for two nights, but everything was safe and nothing happened. After dinner on the third day, Liu Cong suddenly visited the villa.

"Why are you here?" Tao Yaping looked behind him,

"Where's Haohao?"

"He's doing his homework at home, and Meimei is looking at him. ”

"Oh. Tao Yaping heard

The name "Meimei" made my heart feel a pang. But he habitually bent over and took the slippers that his husband usually wore and put them on for him.

Liu Cong put on his slippers, walked into the living room, and sat on the sofa with a heavy butt, his face longer than a horse.

"Who the hell have you provoked?" he asked, with a mouth on his face.

"The police came to our company to talk to me. Tao Yaping didn't expect the police to go to him, and tried to explain: "They ...... It should be just a routine matter, so let's go and investigate it as usual. ”

"Routine?" Liu Cong said disappreciatively

He snorted: "What is their routine business, they simply regard me as the object of suspicion and are interrogating! It just so happened that several leaders of the head office were there again today, watching me being taken to the conference room by two policemen for questioning, and their attitude was still very polite. What do you say, what will the leaders think of me? Will they think that I have really done something to be a traitor? Now is the critical moment for personnel transfers, and they have come to personally inspect the people below. I'm hitting the muzzle of a gun. How can you be promoted if you are so disturbed by the police?" He crossed his arms with his hands, blackened his face, and twisted his head to the side: "I was really miserable by you!" This angry complaint, the words were fierce and in one go, which showed that he had indeed been wronged in the company during the day.

Tao Yaping sat down on the other sofa apologetically: "I...... I didn't expect this to affect your work. I didn't expect that the police would be suspicious of you. ”

"How can you not doubt me?" Liu Cong smiled helplessly: "They said that they have not found valuable clues in the trace examination for the time being, so they can only consider the motive for the crime." But your social connections are so simple, you can't screen out any suspects. The only people who have a conflict of interest with you are me and Meimei. Because you have been dragging your feet and refusing to divorce, I can't get married to her. So we have a motive to kill and become a suspect in buying a murder!" Tao Yaping heard this, and her heart was disturbed, secretly pondering the causal connection.

The chaotic thoughts seemed to be in chaos, and someone suddenly split a gap. Liu Cong glanced at her, and seemed to feel that his demeanor was not quite right, so he asked, "Hey, what kind of expression do you have......?" So what the hell...... Isn't it you?"
