Chapter 18: Edward's Bad Relationships
Regarding the matter between Qin Xuexin and Edward, Chen Shuisheng originally knew something more yellow and violent, but when he saw that there was a little girl Ye Mengying next to him, he felt that it was not appropriate to talk about it, so he finally held back.
Because she has been abused by Edward all the year round, but she is powerless to resist, the relationship between Qin Xuexin and Edward is not simply summed up in two words: contradiction, it can be said that Qin Xuexin has hated Edward for so many years. Chen Shuisheng said.
"Since Qin Xuexin was forced, why didn't she choose to call the police?" Ye Mengying frowned and asked in confusion.
"Hmph, the police! The police can't even get down to business, and they don't even know how to take care of this kind of housework. What's more, with Edward's identity, would ordinary police officers dare to provoke him?" Chen Shuisheng said contemptuously, without the slightest scruple that Li Ye and Ye Mengying were also policemen.
Fortunately, Li Ye and the others didn't care about this, especially Li Ye.
Lee also thinks that although there are many police officers who may not really do their best in their work, Li also believes that it is not the fault of those police officers.
For many police officers, the police are just a job they use to support their families, and it is quite good that they can do what they can for the meager salary, and it would be unrealistic for others to ask them to do their best for the sake of the indifferent.
The reason why Li Ye has such an idea is because in fact, Li is also one of those policemen who "mess around", but his ability is "slightly" stronger than that of ordinary policemen.
In contrast, Ye Mengying didn't care because she didn't think too much about it at all, and when she heard what Chen Shuisheng said, she immediately waved her little fist and said angrily with an indignant face: "It's really hateful!"
Ye Mengying's sentence is really hateful, not only because of the inaction of the police, but also for Edward's extremely perverted hobby.
Obviously, for the job of the police, Ye Mengying is much more enthusiastic than Li.
After talking about Qin Xuexin, Chen Shuisheng next told Li Ye and Ye Mengying about the relationship between Dick and Count Edward that he knew.
I don't know if it's because of the high expectations of Dick, or because Dick is an adopted son, Earl Edward has always been very strict with Dick since he was a child, even to the point of being unkind.
It was common to beat and scold him at every turn, and if Dick made any mistake, Earl Edward would directly use all kinds of torture instruments to punish him with the most severe punishment.
Dick, who grew up in this stick education mode, although he has always been very respectful to Earl Edward on the surface, Chen Shuisheng believes that in the depths of Dick's heart, he must hate his adoptive father very much.
After Dick, Chen Shuisheng spoke of Oliver's butler and the servants in the castle.
"I've heard that Edward is a very stingy man, but his stinginess is only for his subordinates, and he is still very generous to himself and his wife and son. Of course, this is also normal, which boss doesn't pick on the employees? You say yes!"
"Hmm!" Li also nodded very approvingly, Chen Shuisheng's words really spoke to his heart.
Although the Special Administration Bureau is a public institution and its salaries are all paid by the state, Li has been dissatisfied with his pitiful salary for a long time.
"But do you know what the exaggeration is? Since a long time ago, Edward has been paying Oliver and his servants some of the cosmetics he smuggled directly as wages under the pretext that the funds are not working. Don't you know that every time Oliver and those servants see the boxes of cosmetics piled up in front of them, they are so angry that they almost want to scold their mother on the spot! And ordinary people can resign and leave when they encounter a stingy boss like Edward, but Oliver They are vampires, according to the rules of vampires, without Edward's permission, they don't want to resign, even Jiangcheng They don't want to take half a step. ”
Count Edward's stinginess really amazed both Li Ye and Ye Mengying, and it can be called the real-life Abagon, or Eugenie Grande.
But despite this, if Oliver and those servants used Earl Edward's stinginess as the motive for the killing, Li Ye and Ye Mengying agreed that it did not seem so sufficient.
"Shuisheng, I didn't expect you to know Edward so well, even about his use of cosmetics as a salary. I don't think you should be a bounty hunter, go and be an entertainment reporter!" Li also laughed and teased Chen Shuisheng.
Li also looked for Chen Shuisheng with the idea of trying his luck, but he didn't expect Chen Shuisheng to really know so many things.
Li Ye's teasing made the corners of Chen Shuisheng's mouth twitch unnaturally, and then he touched his nose in embarrassment and said, "Look at what you said! What kind of entertainment reporter? Do I look like such a gossip person?"
"By the way, you even told Oliver and the servants, why did you forget to talk about the relationship between Edward and his brother Karl Van Zhuo first?" After making fun of Chen Shuisheng, Li also returned to the topic.
"The relationship between Edward and Carl?" Chen Shuisheng pondered for a moment, as if thinking about how to describe it.
After a while, he said with a little hesitation: "How can I say it? Their relationship is definitely not very harmonious compared to that between ordinary brothers, but as for whether there are any deeper contradictions, I don't know very well. ”
"But after coming into contact with Karl these few times, I found that he seems to have been coveting the lord's seat all along! Will he be murderous to Earl Edward in order to sit on the throne of the lord?" asked Lee.
"Probably not!" Chen Shuisheng shook his head, "Don't say whether Carl has the courage to seize power, even if he really has the heart to kill Edward, he has to take into account Edward's influence among the vampires in Jiangcheng, maybe the final lord's position will not be his turn, but will fall to Liam's head." ”
Li also did not think so about Chen Shuisheng's statement, because Li also deeply understood that those who are really fanatical about power, even if there is only a 0.1% chance, they will not hesitate to try.
"How, is there anything else to ask. Chen Shuisheng said and picked up the wine glass on the bar, after saying so much just now, his throat was about to smoke when he was thirsty.
In the conversation with Chen Shuisheng, Li also basically had an understanding of Earl Edward's interpersonal relationships, so he didn't seem to want to ask more questions in the future.
But when Li also saw that Chen Shuisheng lowered his head and took a sip of the brandy in the cup because he was thirsty, he couldn't help but move in his heart, thinking that since Chen Shuisheng knew so much about the people and things around Count Edward, why didn't he just ask him for his opinion on Count Edward's case?
So Li also opened his mouth again and asked Chen Shuisheng: "Shuisheng, since you know Earl Edward so well, then I would like to hear who you think is most likely to be the murderer of Count Edward." ”
"You mean it's among the people around Edward?"
"No, no, of course not, just tell us who you think is the murderer. Li also shook his head and said.
"That's Mutu, of course. ”
Chen Shuisheng replied so decisively that Li couldn't help but be surprised, and asked, "Why?"
"Werewolves and blood clans are feuds, and once Edward dies, werewolves are definitely the biggest beneficiaries, so Mutu, as the leader of the werewolves, has full motives for committing crimes. Chen Shuisheng gave a reason that almost everyone can think of, but it is not the answer that Li also wants.
If Li Ye hadn't met Mutu before, maybe he would have had the same idea as Chen Shuisheng, but since the last time he had contact with Mutu, Li has always felt that Mutu is unlikely to be the murderer.
Because on the one hand, the surprise that Mutu showed when he learned of Edward's death was very real, and on the other hand, it was out of Li Ye's intuition, he felt that Mutu was a very upright person, so even if Mutu really wanted to kill Edward, he would do so in an upright way.
Li also took out his mobile phone and glanced at the time, and before he knew it, he and Chen Shuisheng had been chatting for more than two hours, and it was almost a quarter past ten.
And this time, Li also felt that it was really almost the same conversation, so he stood up and said to Chen Shuisheng: "It's not too early for Shuisheng, and we will continue to be busy tomorrow, so I won't accompany you." ”
"Li Ye finally met again, do you want to be so disappointed?" Chen Shuisheng heard Li Ye say that he was leaving, and immediately frowned, and complained dissatisfied.
But then when Chen Shuisheng saw that Li Ye was embarrassed and wanted to say something, he waved his hand again and said: "Forget it, you are estimated to be busy for a day, this time I will let you go!"
When Li Ye heard this, he could only smile apologetically to Chen Shuisheng, and then walked towards the door of the bar with Ye Mengying.
But Li Ye had only walked a few steps, and suddenly Chen Shuisheng shouted at him behind his back.
"Li Ye, wait!"
"What's the matter?" Li also turned around in surprise and asked.
"I also have something I want to talk to you about, I don't think you need to bother too much about Edward's case. ”
"Why do you think that with my ability, it is impossible to catch the murderer. Li also asked with a smile.
"That's not it! Edward is a man who has done bad things, and it's not a pity to die, so I think you might as well solve more meaningful cases if you have the energy to catch Edward's murderer. Chen Shuisheng was unusually serious when he said this, and it was obvious that Count Edward had the impression that he was a very bad person.
Maybe Chen Shuisheng was right, but Li Ye shook his head and didn't respond, because he was just a small investigation team leader, and he didn't count what case he wanted to handle.
Coming out of the bar, Li also glanced at the street, which was still full of people, in the bustling metropolis of Jiangcheng, for many people, ten o'clock in the evening does not mean the end of the day, on the contrary, it is just the beginning of the nightlife.
But for Li Ye, who has been on the road all day, the nightlife or something should be forgotten! He just wants to go back and take a hot shower now, and then lie down on the bed and sleep beautifully.
"Mengying, that's all for today's work!Go back and rest well, we will be busy tomorrow!" Li Ye said and yawned, and then waved goodbye to Ye Mengying.
But later, when Li Ye walked briskly towards the subway station across the road, he found that Ye Mengying had not left, but had been following him not far behind.
Li Ye couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw this, so he stopped, and when Ye Mengying walked up, he asked Ye Mengying suspiciously: "Mengying, do you also take the subway?"
"Yes!" Ye Mengying nodded.
"Then why didn't you just say it earlier?"
"You didn't ask?" Ye Mengying said innocently with big eyes.
Ye Mengying's answer made Li also speechless, and indeed Ye Mengying didn't know that she was also taking the subway, and the question she just asked was really a bit stupid.
"Then where are you sitting?" In order to hide his embarrassment, Li Ye hurriedly asked.
"Qingshui Road Station. Ye Mengying replied.
"You won't also live in the bureau's staff apartment, right?" Li Ye raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise.
"Team leader, why are you making such a fuss? The apartments in the bureau are much cheaper than the houses rented outside, isn't it normal for me to live inside?"
Ye Mengying's rhetorical question with rolling his eyes made Li Ye touch the ash of his nose again, which made Li also feel congested for a while, but Li was not easy to say, so he could only pretend to be casual and said: "Okay, then let's take the subway back together!"
However, as soon as Li Ye finished speaking, his mobile phone suddenly rang, Li Ye took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and saw that it was Liu Yongqiang calling, he couldn't help frowning, what would happen to the section chief looking for him at night?
"Hey, section chief, I'm Li Ye, what's the matter?" Li also answered the phone.
Ye Mengying on the side heard that the call was from Liu Yongqiang, and immediately pricked up her ears, but Ye Mengying's ears were not as sensitive as her nose, although she vaguely heard a few words, but she didn't hear what Liu Yongqiang said to Li specifically.
After a while, Li Ye had just hung up the phone, and Ye Mengying immediately couldn't help but ask curiously: "Team leader, what is the section chief looking for you?"
"Dick is dead!" replied Lee with a calm face.
