"The next morning it was on my bedside table. Zhang Manzhen said.

"When you woke up, wasn't Li Mingyu there?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"Nope. Zhang Manzhen replied.

"Then what time did he come back from the storage room that night?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"I don't know, I took sleeping pills and fell asleep early. Zhang Manzhen replied.

"Then you mean, that night, when Li Mingyu came back from the storage room, you were already asleep. The next morning, he left before you woke up and gave you the key to the pantry on the bedside table. Shui Bingyu said.

"That's how it should be. Zhang Manzhen replied.

"Then did he help you get the dress you asked him to take?" Shui Bingyu continued to ask.

"I took it, and when I woke up in the morning, I saw the garment hanging on the hanger. Zhang Manzhen replied.

"Ms. Zhang, have you ever been to the underground storage room again?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"Nope. Zhang Manzhen replied.

"I see that there are a lot of valuable art collections in the underground storage room, and after someone has taken something there, don't you check it?" asked Shui Bingyu.

Zhang Manzhen smiled lightly, as if the question raised by Shui Bingyu was funny, she smiled and said, "Yes, I didn't check." I have allergic rhinitis and can't go down the basement. Besides, Narumu is a smart man, and if he wants to continue living with me, he won't be stupid enough to steal anything by himself. If he wants anything, he can tell me directly, and I'm sure he won't be so stupid. Actually, even if Ming Yu likes it for a while and takes one or two more things, I don't care. When you are in the company of young people, you should be prepared to tolerate their indulgence, do you say?

"Did Li Mingyu go to the storage room before that?" Shui Bingyu continued to ask.

"Nope. This time, Zhang Manzhen replied in the affirmative.

"Ms. Zhang, why are you so sure?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"That day, he asked me how to use the key, he was not very good at hands, other men would fix it, he couldn't do anything. Zhang Manzhen said.

"What do you think of Li Mingyu's matter, will he have any enemies?" Shui Bingyu asked again.

"I really don't know, officer. I can't guess what happened to him. Narumu is an honest man, I don't believe he could offend anyone!" she whispered, pulling out a silk handkerchief and wiping her eyes.

"Ms. Zhang, you said that Li Mingyu told you when he left that he would come back in three days at most. But, it's been five days since he left, and he hasn't contacted you, don't you think it's strange?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"Actually, on the fifth day after he left, I already realized that something was wrong. I couldn't get to him on the phone, and he never called, so I found a private investigator. Zhang Manzhen said in a low voice.

"Then why didn't you call the police?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"You know, we public figures all handle family affairs in a low-key manner, and in addition, I married Mingyu under various social opinions and pressures, and I don't want others to make irresponsible comments about my marriage. Zhang Manzhen replied.

"How can you find a private investigator for this kind of thing? If there is a homicide, how can a private detective deal with it? If this kind of thing happens, you should call the police and hand it over to our police to deal with. Meng Xingchen said sharply.

"Later, I wanted to call the police. However, just the day before yesterday, I received a text message from Ming Yu, saying that he was now sketching in Hangzhou and would be back in two days. So, I planned to wait two more days to see if Naruto didn't come back and call the police, but today, Naruo's body was found. Zhang Manzhen said with a little choked up.

However, they did not find Li Mingyu's mobile phone at the scene.

"Ms. Zhang, when did Li Mingyu's short message come from?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"The night before yesterday, it was about 9 o'clock. Zhang Manzhen replied.

"Ms. Zhang, can you show us your mobile phone? Shui Bingyu said.

Zhang Manzhen happily handed the phone to Shui Bingyu.

Shui Bingyu took a look, and sure enough, the night before yesterday, at 9:15, there was a text message showing that the sender was Li Mingyu. The content of the text message is the same as what Zhang Manzhen said.

So, Shui Bingyu returned the phone to Zhang Manzhen.

"Ms. Zhang, I'm here today. Thank you for your cooperation. Shui Bingyu said.

"Thank you, officer, and I hope that Naruyu's matter will be answered soon. She stood up and shook Shui Bingyu's hand, her hand was thin and slender, weak and boneless. It's hard to imagine that these hands can hold a successful company with huge assets in one hand.

"Team Meng, what do you think of Li Mingyu's matter?" As soon as he returned to the police station, Shui Bingyu asked Meng Xingchen.

"I think it might be a burglary. When Li Mingyu was picking up clothes, he was followed into the storage room by thieves, and the two clashed, and Li Mingyu was defeated by the other party and was finally killed. Meng Xingchen said.

"How did you get the key to the storage room back?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"The thief doesn't have to return the key himself, he just throws it in a conspicuous place in the house and someone else returns it. If the nanny of the house finds the key, she may think that the mistress forgot it there, and she will definitely return it to the mistress. Meng Xingchen said.

"If there is really a thief, he is likely to be someone from this family, and he is someone who overheard Zhang Manzhen's conversation with Li Mingyu, otherwise, how would he know that he could enter the storage room by following Li Mingyu?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"Maybe the thief already knew that there were valuables in the storeroom. He had slipped in early, hiding somewhere near the storeroom, staring at the door of the storeroom, and he followed whoever he saw was going to enter. Meng Xingchen said.

"Did you lose any valuables in the storeroom?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"I have already sent someone to Zhang Manzhen's house to check the items in the storeroom she provided! Meng Xingchen said.

"Team Meng, send someone to understand the background and social relationship between Zhang Manzhen and Li Mingyu. Also, who are the last contacts of Li Mingyu's mobile phone. Shui Bingyu said.

After a while, the relevant information of Zhang Manzhen and Li Mingyu was found out.

"Team Meng, water police officer, according to the investigation, this Zhang Manzhen is not the first time to lose her husband, before Li Mingyu, she had been married three times, except for the first husband who was divorced, the next two husbands died very suddenly, the second husband suddenly had a heart attack while exercising, and the third husband accidentally fell down the stairs and died. Zhang Manzhen married Li Mingyu, and her children were strongly opposed to it at first. They all felt that Li Mingyu was with her because he fell in love with Zhang Manzhen's money. A police officer reported.

"How many children does Zhang Manzhen have?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"There were three of them, two girls, and one boy. The little officer said.

"Do they have a good relationship with Zhang Manzhen?" Shui Bingyu asked again.

Before marrying Li Mingyu, they sometimes came to see Zhang Manzhen on weekends, and later, after Zhang Manzhen married Li Mingyu, they basically didn't come back. Except for her son, who now helps her manage the company's affairs in Zhang Manzhen's company, and sometimes comes to see her, her two daughters basically don't associate with her. The little officer replied.

"What kind of person is Li Mingyu, has he ever been married before?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"He was married, but it only lasted three years. According to the gallery staff, Li Mingyu is handsome and dashing from the outside, gentle and elegant, and speaks like a humble gentleman, which does not give a bad impression. Moreover, he has read a lot of books, draws well, has his own unique views on art, has unique tastes, and is not the kind of little white face with an empty head. At first, everyone thought that he was with Zhang Manzhen for her money, but later, he used practical actions to make everyone feel that he really liked Zhang Manzhen, and he was very good to Zhang Manzhen, not just for Zhang Manzhen's money. The little police officer continued.

"Whether Li Mingyu really likes Zhang Manzhen or not, marrying a woman who is so much older than himself has to take a big risk, and besides, how could a woman as shrewd as Zhang Manzhen be so rash to be with this man who is more than 20 years younger than herself?" Shui Bingyu still said puzzled.

"Don't be so arbitrary and think that it is hasty for people to decide to get married and live together! The old wife and young husband are still very happy! You see that actor and the well-known rich woman, the difference in age is huge, but isn't the family still doing well!" Meng Xingchen said.

Shui Bingyu knew that what Meng Xingchen said was also true, so she didn't bother about this matter anymore.

"Did you understand Li Mingyu's call logs, and who did he talk to in the end?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"I found out that Li Mingyu's last call record was two days ago in the evening, at 9:10, he made a phone call to a person named Xia Qing, and said that it lasted for nearly 10 minutes. The little officer replied.

"Xia Qing, which Xia Qing, show me her mobile phone number!" Shui Bingyu said in surprise.

The little police officer said the phone number.

Shui Bingyu checked it, and it turned out to be the same as the female editor of the legal newspaper in his mobile phone, Xia Qing's mobile phone number!

Li Mingyu's last call before his death turned out to be to Xia Qing!

Shui Bingyu remembered last night, the Xia Qing who was dressed strangely and spoke incomprehensibly.

Far East Road?

Shui Bingyu suddenly thought, isn't Yuandong Road the street opposite Huabei Road?

Last night, Xia Qing said that he was going to Yuandong Road, and got out of the car at the entrance of an alley.

Could it be that she walked through the alley again and turned back to North China Road?

Could it be that Li Mingyu's death is related to her? Or is it that she knows some important clues?

Thinking of this, Shui Bingyu said, "Team Meng, I'm going to find someone." ”

"Who?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"Xia Qing. Shui Bingyu replied.

"Xia Qing, I remember, is it the female reporter who once interviewed me from the Legal Newspaper?" Meng Xingchen asked.

"Yes, that's her. Shui Bingyu replied.
