"The first thing she asked me was, was it Zeng Haotian? I said yes, I was very strange and asked who she was. She said we didn't know each other. I asked her how she had my cell phone number, what was wrong with her, and she said, nothing, she just wanted to hear my voice, and I felt like she was harassing me, so I was going to hang up. Zeng Haotian said.

"I don't usually answer calls from strangers, especially from young girls, as you may guess, some girls are too annoying! I don't know where to get my mobile phone number, so they want to call me, get close to me, and want to ask me out for dinner! I thought this was another kind of harassing call, so I planned to hang up. For the sake of politeness, I politely told her that I was very busy, and I was really going to hang up the phone, and she begged me to wait, so I asked her again, what is the matter? She said don't you care at all, your mother is with a young man who is more than 20 years younger than her? She asked me, don't you think such a combination of old wife and young husband is strange?" Zeng Haotian then said.

"Why did she ask you this question?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"I don't understand either. Zeng Haotian smiled mockingly.

"Did you answer her?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"No, I thought it was an entertainment tabloid reporter who came looking for gossip news again. Zeng Haotian said.

"And then, what else did she say?" Shui Bingyu continued.

"She said she was going to give me a gift. I said I wouldn't just accept gifts from others, and that I didn't know her at all, and I didn't do anything to thank her. She said, since your mother can get gifts from others, you deserve them too. Zeng Haotian said.

"What gift did she give you?" asked Shui Bingyu.

She didn't say anything, she said that she wanted me to wait two days, and the gift would naturally arrive. Later, I didn't want to dwell on her anymore, so I hung up the phone. Zeng Haotian said.

"Then have you received a gift from someone in the past two days?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"Not at all. I think that woman just said it casually. Zeng Haotian said.

"What do you think of the relationship between your mother and Li Mingyu?" Shui Bingyu suddenly asked.

"Of course their relationship? If Li Mingyu wasn't good to my mother, he wouldn't even have pocket money every month!" Zeng Haotian said coldly.

"Isn't Li Mingyu running a gallery?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"It's just that gallery, it's not my mother's money to give him to pass the time, and he can still point to the gallery to make money!" Zeng Haotian said disdainfully.

"Then what do you think of your mother being with Li Mingyu?" Shui Bingyu asked again.

"Does my opinion matter, as long as my mother is happy!" Zeng Haotian said coldly.

"What do you think of Li Mingyu's death?" Shui Bingyu asked again.

"How did he die, isn't it something that your police should investigate? How do I know?" Zeng Haotian replied impatiently.

"Well, thank you Mr. Zeng for your cooperation, let's ask here today! If Mr. Zeng thinks of anything or has any clues, please feel free to contact us. Shui Bingyu said with a smile.

"Comrade police officer, don't be so polite, it is my duty to cooperate with the police. Zeng Haotian also smiled.

Shui Bingyu and Meng Xingchen immediately walked out of Zhang Manzhen's company building.

"What do you say this Xia Ling wants to do? What did she want to say when she called Zeng Haotian? And give him a gift?" Meng Xingchen asked puzzled.

What gift?

Do you believe that there are life-size dolls in this world?

The incomprehensible words that Xia Ling said that night suddenly appeared in Shui Bingyu's mind, as well as that weird smile.

Is that the gift?

A live-action version of the doll?

Shui Bingyu felt incredible again, and quickly came back to her senses and said, "It seems that it is necessary for us to go to Zhang Manzhen's house again, and see what Xia Qing called her home and said?"

Meng Xingchen nodded.

When Shui Bingyu and Meng Xingchen came to Zhang Manzhen's house again, she was resting in the bedroom on the second floor.

Aunt Li, the nanny, asked them to sit on the sofa in the living room and wait for a while.

About 15 minutes later, Zhang Manzhen slowly walked down the stairs on the second floor.

Compared with the last time I saw her, her face was a little haggard, but she still gave people a sense of grace and elegance.

Shui Bingyu couldn't figure out how such a strong woman with a good temperament could also learn from those vulgar, nouveau riche rich women who raised little white faces?

Unless she really likes Li Mingyu, they are true love!

Thinking of the word true love on Zhang Manzhen and Li Mingyu, Shui Bingyu couldn't help but get goosebumps all over her body!

"Two police officers, is there any new progress in Mingyu's case?" asked Zhang Manzhen softly.

"Ms. Zhang, I'm sorry to disturb your rest. Regarding Zhang Mingyu's case, we still have some things to know from you. Shui Bingyu said with a smile.

"As long as it helps Mingyu's case, you can just ask. Zhang Manzhen said very cooperatively.

"Ms. Zhang, do you know Xia Qing?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"Xia Qing, I don't know, I haven't heard of it. Zhang Manzhen thought for a while and said.

"As far as we know, around 7pm the night before yesterday, she called your home and the call lasted for 3 minutes. Do you have any impressions?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"Does this Xia Qing have anything to do with Mingyu's case?" asked Zhang Manzhen puzzled.

"It has a relationship, because Li Mingyu's last call before his death was to her! That is, not long after Xia Qing called your home. Meng Xingchen replied.

"You mean, Ming Yu's last call before his death was to that person?" asked Zhang Manzhen in surprise.

"Yes. Meng Xingchen replied.

"If that were the case, I'd have taken the call. After being silent for a while, Zhang Manzhen spoke.

"What did she say?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"At that time, I was about to go out, and a phone call came, and the voice should have been from a young woman, asking me if this was Zhang Manzhen's house, which didn't sound very polite. A hint of displeasure flashed in Zhang Manzhen's eyes, "I said yes, and asked her what was the matter? She said that she was a newspaper columnist, and asked me how my married life was with my husband, and wanted to give me an exclusive interview, asking me if I had time, and wanted to come to my house to interview me and my husband." I've never liked to deal with the media, especially my private life, and I don't want the media to know about it. In order to attract readers, they always take words out of context and scribble, so I politely declined, and then hung up. When she hung up the phone, she also cursed something, I don't remember. I think maybe it was because I refused her request, so I was upset. Zhang Manzhen said.

Shui Bingyu felt very strange, Zhang Manzhen didn't mention the last call Li Mingyu made to Xia Ling, and she didn't even show the curiosity she should have.

What did his young husband do when he called that young woman?

And, after the call, he died!

Could it be that Zhang Manzhen is not curious at all, and does not want to know at all?

The more Shui Bingyu thought about it, the more she felt that this Zhang Manzhen was very unusual!

Coming out of Zhang Manzhen's house, Shui Bingyu and Meng Xingchen returned to the police station.

"What should I do next?, do you have any ideas?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"We have to find Xia Ling as soon as possible. Shui Bingyu said.

"She's not wanted, and we can't issue a wanted warrant. Meng Xingchen asked.

"We can't issue wanted warrants, but we can send missing person notices. We have drafted a missing person notice, and sent it to major websites together with Xia Ling's photo, indicating that anyone who provides useful clues will be given a corresponding honorarium as a thank you. I believe that after this missing person notice is issued, someone will definitely provide information. Shui Bingyu said.

Meng Xingchen nodded in agreement.

"Team Meng, find someone to learn more about Zhang Manzhen, especially her marriages. I always feel that this woman is not simple. Shui Bingyu said.

Zhang Manzhen's background information was quickly inquired.

Zhang Manzhen has been married a total of four times.

The first time was to marry a master tailor. At that time, she was an apprentice in a garment factory, and the man was her master, a few years older than her, an honest and good man, and he was very good to Zhang Manzhen, and they soon got married. In the second year of marriage, there was a girl. However, Zhang Manzhen felt that the man was too honest and unproductive. So, soon got together with the director of the garment factory, and was caught and raped in bed by her husband at the time, the two divorced, and the girl also belonged to his ex-husband.

It wasn't long before she married the director of the garment factory. The next year, another girl was born. With the reform of the factory, the service factory was about to close down, and the director of the factory was about to be laid off. Zhang Manzhen quickly hooked up with the owner of a clothing company in Taiwan who had business dealings with their factory. The factory director was already in poor health, and after learning about Zhang Manzhen's cheating on him, he was so angry that he had a heart attack and died without being rescued.

Zhang Manzhen soon married this Taiwanese businessman again, and gave birth to a son, Zeng Haotian.

Originally, the family lived very happily, but, there were unforeseen circumstances, late one night, Zhang Manzhen's husband went to the living room to drink water, and when he went downstairs, his foot slipped, fell down the stairs, hit his head on the ground, and died at that time.

"Was it an accidental death?" Shui Bingyu, who had been listening to Meng Xingchen's briefing, suddenly interjected and asked.

Yes, the police later found that he had a high alcohol content in his body and concluded that it was an accidental death caused by unsteady walking caused by drunkenness. Meng Xingchen said.

"Then how did Zhang Manzhen meet Li Mingyu again?" Shui Bingyu asked.

"Since the death of her third husband, Zhang Manzhen has been in a bad mood and has suffered from depression. Later, the doctor advised her to find something she liked to do, which would help her condition improve. So, she signed up for a painting class, and Li Mingyu happened to be the teacher of that painting class. After coming and going, the two got along. Meng Xingchen said.

"Just this Zhang Manzhen's love life is enough to write a book. Shui Bingyu said with emotion.

"I don't quite understand one thing, Zhang Manzhen has always married a man who is older than herself and has more wealth than herself, which tendon is she wrong, and suddenly she will find a man who is more than 20 years younger than her, and she doesn't earn as much as her, and even needs her to support him to marry? Is it because she wants to be dissatisfied?" Meng Xingchen asked puzzled.
