11. Inconsistencies between the outside and the inside
A dreamless night, Xu Xiaochuan drove to pick up Ruan Jing in the early morning, and the two of them turned to the door of a large supermarket, with the words "Xinxin Supermarket" written on the sign, and there were many people inside.
"Are you sure it's here?"
Xu Xiaochuan nodded, "There is a fresh supermarket near this community, and Ayuan usually comes here to buy vegetables, and I have accompanied her a few times." β
Ruan Jing's gaze wandered around, did the kidnappers premeditate Wu Yuan, or did they randomly select her? If it was the former, did the kidnappers know that her fiancΓ©'s family had a lot of money, or did Wu Yuan expose her money and wealth and was targeted? There are many possibilities for each reason, and each possibility corresponds to countless suspects.
While she was thinking about it, a stall selling vegetables in front of her seemed to be more congested than elsewhere, blocking the way for the two.
The group of three people in the middle looked very familiar - not that Ruan Jing's eyes were good, but that those people were too conspicuous.
Xiao Chongyan was dressed in casual clothes, but his face was good-looking, his straight back blessed him with aura, and his temperament was incompatible with the surrounding environment, Chang Yu was carrying a green eggplant with a strange face, Yu Ze followed behind with a serious expression, his eyes were like substance, and no one could help but reflect on whether he had committed something.
If they go to work as plainclothes policemen like this, they will not be able to catch a single criminal.
"Ruan Jing?" Chang Yu squeezed out with a look of surprise, "Why are you here?"
Seeing Ruan Jing, Yu Ze's expression was very serious, and he looked like he refused to talk, and turned around and left with a stiff face.
Xiao Chongyan finally walked up, his eyes wandering between Ruan Jing and Xu Xiaochuan, "This is what you are doing today?"
Hearing him speak, Xu Xiaochuan's gaze involuntarily moved to Xiao Chongyan's body.
"Hello, first time we met, my name is Xiao Chongyan. β
Xu Xiaochuan stared at Xiao Chongyan for a while, and after a long time, Chang Yu showed a strange look, and Ruan Jing finally couldn't help but slap him with his elbow, and then he woke up like a dream, "Hello, hello, hello......"
Chang Yu looked at Xu Xiaochuan suspiciously, and poked Ruan Jing, "Who is this?
Ruan Jing hesitated for a moment before saying, "It's one of my ...... Friend, there's something you want me to help investigate. β
Chang Yu didn't doubt him, and grinned, "It's a coincidence, we are also here to investigate, but we are for Liu Minhong's case." β
Yu Ze walked back quickly at this time, and he didn't care that Ruan Jing's "idle people" were still there, and said succinctly, "I found a person who had seen Liu Minhong a few days before the crime. β
The person who had seen Liu Minhong was a cashier, Chang Yu originally meant to talk to her, but Yu Ze showed his police ID card and took the person back to the police station directly, out of a little caution, Ruan Jing silently followed Xiao Chongyan and blended in.
Chang Yu and Yu Ze entered the interrogation room, there were only two people in the monitoring room, Xiao Chongyan and Ruan Jing, as soon as the door closed, the atmosphere of stalemate spread in an instant, Xiao Chongyan's side face was like a knife, and he looked at the display screen indifferently.
Ruan Jing hesitated, walked to his side and coughed lightly, Xiao Chongyan glanced at it, but there was no movement, Ruan Jing had to stretch out his finger and lightly tap his arm, she retracted it quickly, and did not notice his stiff and bulging arm for a moment.
"I'd like to ask you a favor. Ruan Jing conceived several words to persuade him.
Xiao Chongyan turned his toes to face her, and the close distance made Ruan Jing feel a strong sense of oppression for no reason.
"That's what you're talking about?"
The gratuitous look in his eyes made her feel a little panicked, she knew what he was capable of, and she knew the desire that should not be underestimated under his expressionless disguiseβbut she did not know what he wanted.
"Doctor Xiao's attitude is easy to make people think too much, why don't you say clearly, what do you want to do?" Ruan Jingshun asked in his heart.
Xiao Chongyan didn't answer, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he reached out impatiently and tugged at his tie, obviously restraining something, a few moments later, he looked away and looked at the monitor again, as if the strange look just now was just her own illusion, he diverted the topic, and his tone softened a lot, "Why do you want to investigate Wu Yuan's case." β
"This is a commission I took before I lost my memory, and I think that's why I came to Yanagawa City. β
Ruan Jing lowered his head, looking helpless, "If it weren't for accidental amnesia, I wouldn't have had to bother so much." She meant to remind him not to forget who was to blame for his amnesia.
After a long time, she heard Xiao Chongyan say.
"I see. β
Not long after, the door of the monitoring room opened, Chang Yu and Yu Ze walked in, Chang Yu slapped the record book on the table at will, "According to the confession of the supermarket staff, Liu Minhong also gave them the supermarket goods a few days before the accident, she can remember so clearly because when she was checking out the customer that day, she saw a couple of men and women pulling and pulling at the door of the bathroom, it seemed that it was a little couple quarreling, Liu Minhong went up to persuade them at that time, so she looked twice." β
"She's lying. β
Without hesitation, the voices of Xiao Chongyan and Ruan Jing sounded almost at the same time.
Xiao Chongyan glanced at Ruan Jing vaguely.
Yu Ze frowned, his gaze swept over Ruan Jing, and he looked straight at Xiao Chongyan, "How does Doctor Xiao know that she is lying?"
"She has been avoiding eye contact when she is questioned by you, if she is nervous, she is answering without thinking, and at the end when the officer recounts the contents of the record for her to confirm, she barely nods or responds, which are typical of fabricated lies. β
With an expression of "I know you're very powerful, but I don't want to hear it anymore", Chang Yu falsely complimented Dr. Xiao's professionalism, and then looked at Ruan Jing curiously.
"Sister Ruan Jing, he is a perverted madman who studies psychology, and the criminal is like a blank sheet of paper in front of him, how do you see it?"
Ruan Jingping said straightforwardly, "When I came out of the supermarket just now, I noticed that she was the No. 3 checkout counter, and from the perspective of the No. 3 checkout counter, I couldn't see the bathroom at all. β
Both of them gave the same explanation, but Yu Ze seemed to be the only one in front of him, Xiao Chongyan, "Why is she lying?"
Ruan Jing interjected lightly, "This is going to have to be done by the police officer again." β
Although Yu Ze's face was dark, he still nodded and left with a dark face.
Ruan Jing actually didn't take Yu Ze's coldness to heart, these few contacts were enough for Ruan Jing to understand this man, with awe-inspiring justice in his heart, but he was a standard machismo supporter, he didn't look down on her from the bottom of his heart, the reason was that she was just a little girl, so he naturally only speculated about her with the most disdainful attitude.
However, as an excellent criminal policeman, Yu Ze acted resolutely, and in less than two hours, he got the surveillance video of the day when the cashier had seen Liu Minhong, and when the scene was projected onto the light screen, everyone present couldn't help but sit up straight - what the cashier said was not all lies.
The surveillance is playing silently, a woman enters the picture from the edge of the surveillance, the man chases after him, the two of them are a little excited after saying a few words, and they begin to pull and pull, and the location of this pulling is very ingenious, from the picture can only see the occasional exposed arms of the man and the woman, and the woman's face can not be seen, the man seems to want to drag the woman away, the woman resists, and a black wallet falls out of the man.
Liu Minhong appeared at this time, she picked up the wallet from the ground, stepped forward to separate the two, talked a few words as if to persuade her, the man left angrily, and then the woman also covered her face and ran away, Liu Minhong stood for a few seconds before remembering to raise the wallet in her hand and wanted to catch up, and was bumped into by the oncoming cashier, the two talked a few words, Liu Minhong gave her the wallet, and the cashier put the wallet in his pocket and walked into the bathroom.
The facts are obvious, Liu Minhong picked up the man's wallet but didn't catch up with the owner, so she gave it to the staff here, and the cashier didn't hand it over when she got the wallet, but secretly kept it herself, so she didn't dare to tell the truth.
Yu Ze pressed the pause button, "That woman hasn't shown her face from beginning to end, I think we should find this man first and see if he has any impression of Liu Minhong." β
No one has any objections, there are too few clues available, so they can only cast a wide net, grasp any clues, and dig three feet into the ground.
The meeting was dispersed here, Chang Yu stayed behind and Yu Ze and others to continue researching, and Ruan Jing and Xiao Chongyan walked out of the gate of the police station one after the other.
Ruan Jing was just about to look down for her mobile phone, when her wrist was suddenly held by a cold hand, as if a slight electric current was rushing from her wrist, so she couldn't help but pull her hand out, and as soon as she raised her hand, she met Xiao Chongyan's expressionless face.
He didn't seem to realize that his behavior was out of order, and the hand that was thrown away was naturally inserted back into his pocket, "At nine o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow, come to the police station to find me to get information on Wu Yuan's case." β
β...... Okay, thanks. β
Xiao Chongyan glanced at her before leaving, the corners of his mouth rose, and a soft but inexplicably ambiguous smile came straight to her in an instant, "I still have some things, so I won't send you today...... I look forward to your 'thank you'. β
Ruan Jing frowned and looked back, he was dressed in a suit, his figure was straight, and his back was a little more eye-catching than others, she never felt that she was a narcissist, but she really had reason to think that this psychiatrist who claimed to have a girlfriend with a good relationship seemed to be really interesting to herself.
Ruan Jing's expression was a little indifferent, if this was the case, then he would be a scumbag with different appearances.
