Chapter VIII

"There are still some suspicious points in the case, and it has been handed over to our Municipal Public Security Bureau, we are from the second criminal police team, and now we are responsible for investigating this case. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info," Ning Zhiyuan said. "Oh, then you can ask if you want to know anything." Liu Zhifa nodded. At this time, the young woman who answered the door just now came into the house and delivered three cups of tea, and only after she went out did Ning Zhiyuan speak: "Tell me about the situation on the night of October 4th." ”

"Alas," Liu Zhifa sighed, "I feel quite sorry for Wang Qing." If I hadn't called him out of the house that day, I probably wouldn't have been able to do that. On the fifth day, my son got married, and the one just now was the newly married daughter-in-law. On the evening of the 4th, I called Wang Qing to go to the county to help me pull beer, and the beer came back at about six o'clock, almost seven o'clock, it was dinner time, and he had dinner at my house. We chatted while drinking, and the meal took a little longer, and after the meal, I was worried that he would have an accident while driving drunk, so I left him at my house for the night, and he didn't leave. Later, he answered the phone and said that his house was on fire and immediately drove away. ”

"Did Wang Qing leave halfway?" Song Ming put down the teacup in his hand and asked. "No," Liu Zhifa shook his head, "he hasn't been out since he brought the beer back." Officer, you don't suspect Wang Qing of setting fire to his house, right? ”

"We're just routine, asking everything we need to ask. Besides, we didn't say that Wang Qing set the fire. Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand. Liu Zhifa relaxed and said firmly: "That's it, that's it, how can anyone set fire to their own house." This fire not only burned down the house, but Wang Qing's wife was gone, and Wang Qing himself was injured. Fortunately, Yuanyuan was not at home that day, otherwise the family would have been ruined. ”

"Yuanyuan is Wang Qing's daughter, right? Where is she now? Ning Zhiyuan asked. Originally, I wanted to bring the child to my house, but as you can see, the police officer, my house is just two rooms, which is really inconvenient. Yuanyuan didn't want to come, so she had to go back to her home, so my wife went to accompany her. ”

"Isn't Wang Qing's house decorating? How to live people? Song Ming looked at Liu Zhifa suspiciously. His house has already been installed, and he thinks there is a smell in the house, so he says that he will move back after the smell is dispersed. Liu Zhifa pouted, "In fact, it is a decoration, that is, a simple repair, scratching the white, what can it smell." ”

"After the renovation, it is normal to put more air and live in it again." Song Ming disagreed. Ning Zhiyuan frowned slightly and asked Liu Zhifa: "How is the relationship between Wang Qing and Liu Xiangmei?" I heard that they have been married for five years, why didn't they have children? ”

"They have a very good relationship, although Wang Qing and I are only cousins, but we are not far away, so we move around a lot, every time we go to his house, the two of them are harmonious. As for the child...... Liu Zhifa paused before continuing, "I heard Wang Qing say that Xiang Mei went to the hospital for a check-up, and it seems that there is some kind of woman's disease, and it is not easy to conceive. Wang Qing must have no problem, he is round. ”

"How is Wang Qing's relationship with Yuanyuan's mother, that is, his ex-wife?" Ning Zhiyuan nodded and changed the topic. Liu Zhifa didn't seem to expect Ning Zhiyuan to ask about Wang Qing's ex-wife, and hesitated for a while and said, "The two of them are also very good." "It's good, why are you leaving?" Song Ming pulled the corners of his mouth and said with a smile. "It used to be good, but then it was ...... Then it's not good, or ...... Either you can't get a divorce. Liu Zhifa was a little embarrassed by what Song Ming said, and smiled wryly. Then tell me why they didn't do well? Song Ming looked at Liu Zhifa seriously. This ......" Liu Zhifa's face was a little embarrassed, and he said, "This is a matter of two people, and I don't want to ask too much as an outsider." Maybe it's a disagreement. ”

Liu Zhifa's words were the same as what Wang Qing said, and the emotional disagreement led to divorce. But Ning Zhiyuan felt that there must be other reasons for this, otherwise Liu Zhifa would not have been hesitant. It seems that after finding out the situation of Wang Qing's ex-wife, it is necessary to talk to this ex-wife.

After coming out of Liu Zhifa's house, Ning Zhiyuan and Song Ming drove back to Dawang Village. The car drove into Dawang Village, and Ning Zhiyuan suddenly turned a corner, "Don't go back to the village committee?" Song Ming saw that the car was not driving in the direction of the village committee, so he turned his head and asked Ning Zhiyuan. Ning Zhiyuan nodded and continued to drive towards the west of the village, "Let's go to Wang Qing's house first, didn't Liu Zhifa say that Wang Qing's daughter has gone back to live." ”

Inquire all the way to Wang Qing's house, in front of me is a spacious and tidy courtyard, through the brick hollow wall can see that there is a ridged two-story building, although not as big as the small building of the village committee, but it also looks very magnificent. The newly painted black-lacquered wrought iron gate was open, and a little girl of eight or nine years old was sitting in the courtyard reading a book.

Ning Zhiyuan parked the car and walked to the gate, stretched out his hand and knocked lightly on the iron door, the little girl raised her head, and two black eyes looked up and down at the two men at the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled at her and said, "Little friend, is this Wang Qing's family?" The little girl nodded: "Yes, my dad is not at home." ”

At this time, a slightly chubby middle-aged woman came out of the house, "Yuanyuan, who are you talking to?" "Auntie, someone is looking for my dad." The little girl ran to the woman's side as she spoke. "You are Wang Qing's cousin-in-law, we are from the Municipal Public Security Bureau." Ning Zhiyuan took out his documents and showed them to the woman. "Oh, comrade policeman, get inside the house." Wang Qing's cousin-in-law hurriedly put the two of them into the house.

Ning Zhiyuan and Song Ming entered the living room under the leadership of Wang Qing's cousin-in-law, Ning Zhiyuan looked left and right, and could see that this place was indeed newly renovated, and there was a faint smell of paint in the room. "Sit down, I'll make some tea." Wang Qing's cousin-in-law let the two sit on the sofa and turned around to go out. "Don't bother, sister-in-law." Ning Zhiyuan stopped her, pointed to the single sofa next to her and said, "You can sit too, let's ask a few words and leave." ”

"This is Wang Qing's daughter?" When she sat down, Ning Zhiyuan pointed to the little girl snuggled in her arms and asked. "Yes, her name is Yuanyuan." The woman nodded. Ning Zhiyuan smiled and tried to soften his voice as softly: "Yuanyuan, can you tell your uncle what you did on the day the old house caught fire?" A pair of round black eyes stared at Ning Zhiyuan, and he thought for a long time before saying: "I was doing my homework at home that morning, and I played with Xiaoqin and them in the afternoon, and then Xiaoqin said that she wanted to go home, and I also went home." "What about when you get home?" What are you doing again? Ning Zhiyuan asked patiently.

"After I got home," Yuanyuan's eyes rolled, "Dad said that he would take me to the county to play, and I met Aunt Lizhen halfway, and she said that she had bought a new cartoon, and Dad asked me to go to her house to watch cartoons." Aunt Lizhen made me something delicious, and I went to bed after eating. ”

"This child usually goes to Lizhen's house, and she is very close to Lizhen." Wang Qing's cousin-in-law touched her round head and said. Ning Zhiyuan nodded and asked Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan, is Dad good to you?" "Okay, Dad always buys me good things, and Mom says he spends money indiscriminately." Yuanyuan pouted and said dissatisfied, "She won't buy it for me, and she won't let Dad buy it." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, your mom is thrifty. What do you know as a little kid! Wang Qing's cousin-in-law pulled Yuanyuan and stopped her from continuing. Ning Zhiyuan glanced at Wang Qing's cousin-in-law, ignored her, and continued to ask Yuanyuan: "Do parents usually quarrel?" Yuan Yuan saw his eldest mother glaring at him, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

Ning Zhiyuan knew that if he asked again, Yuanyuan didn't dare to say anything more, so he smiled and said to Yuanyuan: "Yuanyuan go out to play for a while, uncle still has something to tell the eldest mother." Yuanyuan looked at Ning Zhiyuan, then at his eldest mother, Wang Qing's cousin-in-law nodded at her, "Go ahead, I'll call you when I'm ready to cook in a while." ”

After Yuanyuan went out, Ning Zhiyuan asked Wang Qing's cousin-in-law: "Did Wang Qing and Liu Xiangmei always quarrel?" Wang Qing's cousin-in-law hurriedly waved her hand, "Comrade policeman, don't listen to the child's nonsense, her parents are fine." Wang Qing was divorced, had a child, and married Xiang Mei, who was so much younger than him, can he not be spoiled. Wang Qing, who has a good brain, and can make money, Xiang Mei Chengtian doesn't do anything, lives in a big house, she can buy whatever she wants, and she can help her brother from time to time. Wang Qing's cousin's tone was full of envy, and then she said with some disdain: "If it weren't for marrying Wang Qing, it's hard to say whether her family would be able to uncover the pot." Comrade policeman, what else do you say she is not satisfied with Wang Qing? ”

Ning Zhiyuan pulled the corners of his mouth noncommittally, he didn't want to continue this kind of topic with this jealous woman. So he changed the question: "What time did Wang Qing leave your house on the night of the fire?" Wang Qing's cousin-in-law was stunned, Ning Zhiyuan did not affirm her words, which made her somewhat disappointed, and pouted slightly dissatisfied, "The two of them didn't finish drinking until more than nine o'clock, so I went to sleep first." When Wang Qing left, I heard the sound of cars, but I didn't look at my watch in a daze. ”

"Then let's do it first," Ning Zhiyuan gestured to Song Ming and stood up, "We'll go back first, thank you." Song Ming glanced meaningfully at Wang Qing's cousin-in-law, and followed Ning Zhiyuan out of Wang Qing's house.

Ning Zhiyuan got into the car, and as soon as he started the car, he saw Yuan Yuan running out of the yard next door, standing next to the car and looking at him. Ning Zhiyuan lowered the window and poked his head out: "Yuanyuan, we're leaving." Yuan Yuan pursed his lips and said, "Uncle policeman, will you come again?" Ning Zhiyuan smiled: "Do you want me to come again?" Yuan Yuan nodded vigorously, "Of course I hope so, you are so handsome, and you are still a policeman." Ning Zhiyuan's smile froze instantly, twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "Then I'll come to see you again when I have time, goodbye!" Yuan Yuan smiled with satisfaction and waved his hand: "Goodbye, Uncle Police!" ”

Ning Zhiyuan raised the window, glared at Song Ming, who was trying to smile in the co-pilot, and started the car. "Isn't this little girl taking a fancy to you?" Song Ming couldn't help but laugh at Ning Zhiyuan, and seeing that Ning Zhiyuan was silent, he smiled and said, "Do you think the little girl is going to give you any clues?" "It's not," Ning Zhiyuan shook his head, "I think she is quite afraid of her eldest mother, maybe she didn't dare to say something in front of her eldest aunt, so she ran out." "Haha, if you quietly say that you are handsome and invite you to come back next time, you will not have such a constipated expression." Song Ming smiled and shrugged his shoulders. Ning Zhiyuan gave him a big roll of his eyes and ignored him anymore.
