Meng Xingchen is very familiar with Shui Bingyu's change in attitude, at this time, a tough attitude can make the other party succumb quickly.

So he also asked sharply: "Ren Xuezhen, let me ask you again, what did you call your mother that night?

Ren Xuezhen looked at them, and finally called out angrily: "Okay, I called my mother that night, so what!"

"What did you say on the phone?" Shui Bingyu's tone slowed slightly.

"My mother had promised to donate four more pairs of calligraphy and paintings to the Shuxin Society! That night, while lying in bed, I suddenly remembered that it was already Friday, and we should have gathered on the weekend, so I should have brought those four pairs of calligraphy and paintings. So, I called my mother to tell me about it. Ren Xuezhen said.

"What did your mother say, let you go and get it?" Shui Bingyu continued to ask.

"Nope. At first, she didn't admit that she had agreed to it, but later, she said that it was too late, and she was not in good health to go to the basement to help me get calligraphy and paintings, so I had to wait. Ren Xuezhen said.

"Then how did you answer?" Shui Bingyu then asked.

I told her that I had already told everyone that I couldn't keep my word! I said that she couldn't go because she was not in good health, so I asked Li Mingyu to help her get it. Ren Xuezhen replied.

"What did your mother say?" asked Shui Bingyu next.

She said that she had asked Li Mingyu to go to the basement to help her get something. Li Mingyu didn't have a mobile phone, so she couldn't get in touch with him, so she asked me to wait! I think she just didn't want to give it to me!" Ren Xuezhen said with some dissatisfaction.

"Later, when you thought that Li Mingyu had gone to the basement, your own residence was not far from your mother's house, you just took this opportunity to hurry to your mother's house, and when the basement door was open, you secretly walked in, and quietly took away two calligraphy and paintings, but you didn't expect to be discovered by Li Mingyu, you fortunately killed him without doing anything, just disguised as a thief to rob the house, right?" Meng Xingchen asked sharply.

"You're talking nonsense, I didn't!" Ren Xuezhen said angrily.

"You don't? Miss Ren, please explain, in your account, three days ago, why there was a sum of 9 million yuan from the Splendid Auction House? We checked on the Internet, and the Splendid Auction House just auctioned out a pair of Zhang Daqian's genuine works that day, and the value was just 9 million yuan; and this calligraphy and painting happened to be given to us by your mother, and in the list of collections in the basement, we found that it was stolen, one of the two Zhang Daqian's genuine works! There are so many coincidences, Miss Ren, please explain it to us!" Shui Bingyu asked coldly.

"Yes, I stole the painting, but I'm not a thief. My mother promised me to donate four paintings, and I told them all about it! But when I said good things, my mother repented! She always did this, she always repented of what she promised, she was the most untrustworthy person! I just took what I deserved. Moreover, I didn't kill anyone!" Ren Xuezhen looked ahead with dull eyes.

"How did you get into the storeroom?" Meng Xingchen asked indifferently.

"When I arrived at my mother's house, I found that the door to the basement storage room was unlocked, and I went inside. Ren Xuezhen replied.

"Did you see Li Mingyu in the storeroom?" Meng Xingchen continued to ask.

I was so panicked that I didn't dare to go into the basement for fear of being discovered by him, so I went through a few boxes and took two calligraphy and paintings as soon as I entered the door. I really didn't see Li Mingyu, I didn't kill anyone, I couldn't kill him, I love him. After saying this, Ren Xuezhen covered her face with her hands and cried bitterly.

"When you went to your mother's house that night, did you see anyone else coming?" asked Shui Bingyu as he changed the subject.

"When I first entered the basement, I heard someone ring the doorbell, Aunt Li opened the door, I seemed to hear her shouting Manager Zhang, I guess the one who came to my mother so late should be Zhang Dongming. Later, I heard footsteps on the second floor, and I knew he was going to the bedroom to look for my mother. Ren Xuezhen replied.

"Then did you hear him leave again?" Shui Bingyu continued.

"No, I didn't hear his footsteps coming down from the second floor until I left. Ren Xuezhen replied.

"Could it be that you weren't hearing him when he was leaving?" Shui Bingyu then asked.

I was nervous for fear of being discovered, so I was very concerned about what was going on around me. I can guarantee that night, until I walked out of the door of my mother's house, I didn't hear him leave!" Ren Xuezhen said categorically.

"This Zhang Dongming seems to have a very good relationship with your mother, otherwise he would have gone to your mother's bedroom to see her at such a late hour, and he would have stayed for a long time!" Meng Xingchen said.

"Sycophant! Jing will say something nice to please my mother!" Ren Xuezhen said viciously.

"We heard that he also helped your mother invest in business?" Shui Bingyu asked.

"Really? No wonder my mother always said that she didn't have any cash in her hand! It turned out that it was all handed over to him to invest!" Ren Xuezhen suddenly realized.

Shui Bingyu originally thought that maybe he could get some things about Zhang Manzhen's investment business from Ren Xuezhen's mouth. However, now it seems that Ren Xuezhen doesn't know about this matter at all.

"You didn't see Li Mingyu when you went to the basement that night, wasn't he inside?" Meng Xingchen suddenly asked.

"The basement of my mother's house is a curved structure, and I guess Li Mingyu should be looking for something inside, and there is a curved wall blocking it, so we didn't notice each other. Ren Xuezhen said.

"Your behavior has actually constituted theft, but this is your mother's property, and we can't arrest you if she doesn't file charges against you. But, Miss Ren, I remind you again, don't drink the water of forgetfulness again! You must quit! Otherwise, you will fall deeper and deeper and eventually ruin yourself!" Shui Bingyu warned sharply.

"Comrade police officer, don't worry, I will definitely not drink anymore! I will definitely quit! Also, my mother still doesn't know that I secretly took those two paintings, can you? Can you not tell her about it?" Ren Xuezhen pleaded.

"Whether your mother knew you took it, we don't know. However, if it is helpful to solve this case, we will also tell your mother!Miss Ren, since you have already done it, you will have to bear the consequences!" Meng Xingchen said coldly.

"As long as you don't tell my mother, she won't know that I took it! Comrade police officer, I know it's wrong! I don't dare anymore! I beg you, don't tell my mother! If she gets really angry and accuses me, won't I go to jail! I won't go!" Ren Xuezhen was already about to cry.

Shui Bingyu didn't want to be entangled with Ren Xuezhen on this issue anymore, so she changed the topic and asked, "How much do you know about that Zhang Dongming?"

"Zhang Dongming? He has a very sweet mouth and can fool, and my mother and I have been bewitched by him! Fortunately, you have made me realize his true colors! My mother is probably still in the dark! I have not heard that he has any other place to live. Ren Xuezhen said.

"You must have been together for more than a year, right? He has never talked to you about himself, for example, his family, friends, and how did he join the Comfort Club? Isn't it all about opening your hearts at your weekly gathering?" Shui Bingyu asked further guidance.

"Zhang Dongming, don't look at him usually with a flamboyant tongue, but when it comes to serious things, he can be strict! Especially when it comes to his personal affairs, he doesn't say a word. Every time we get together, it's basically us talking, he's listening! I remember only once, we drank some red wine at the party, and that day he drank a little too much, and then he revealed to us that he was depressed because his wife cheated on him in marriage, and the two divorced, and he was mentally stimulated! Later, he joined the Comfort Club, and he slowly got better! He also said that the main reason why he came to Kyoto to work was because his ex-wife was here. At that time, we all thought he was worthless and thought he was an infatuated person!" Ren Xuezhen said.

"Oh, I really didn't see it, Zhang Dongming is still an infatuated species!" Meng Xingchen sighed.

"Doesn't he have any other relatives and friends here?" Shui Bingyu continued.

"It seems to be gone. Comrade police officer, why don't you go directly to Zhang Dongming to ask about these things?" Ren Xuezhen asked puzzled.

"He resigned from your mother's company, and he wasn't found at the residence. Meng Xingchen said.

"Did he resign? He actually resigned from my mother's company? Then something serious must have happened! By the way, that night, he also went to my mother's house, could it be that Li Mingyu was killed by him? Now he has absconded in fear of crime?" Ren Xuezhen couldn't help but guess in surprise.

"Miss Ren, our police haven't convicted Zhang Dongming yet! Please don't speculate!" Meng Xingchen said coldly.

"You go to his ex-wife! He once said that the person who knows him best is his ex-wife! He has never forgotten her! Now he sometimes calls her ex-wife! Maybe his ex-wife will know where he went? What happened?" Ren Xuezhen suggested.

"Then what is his ex-wife's name, and where does she work?" asked Shui Bingyu.

"Shawman, his ex-wife's name is Shawman, he told us once. Now I should be a teacher at a university. Ren Xuezhen said.

"Miss Ren, thank you for the clues! We're here today, if you think of any more information about Zhang Dongming, please tell us. Shui Bingyu said with a smile.

"Comrade police officer, don't worry, if I think of anything again, I will tell you! This is a meritorious performance, right? Don't tell my mother about me stealing those two paintings, right?" Ren Xuezhen began to grind again.

Shui Bingyu and Meng Xingchen ignored her anymore and turned to leave.
