Chapter 48
"So Li Tonghao chose the beautiful Qiao Lele instead of Xu Jing, who grew up together." Liu Xi squinted and touched his chin, "What do you mean that Xu Jing has a stubborn temper and is jealous that Qiao Lele robbed the person she likes, so she killed Qiao Lele out of jealousy and hatred?" β
As soon as these words came out, except for Ye Mingming and Li Jian, everyone was startled, especially the girl who came to solve the puzzle, her face turned white with fright, and she waved her hand again and again to deny it, "I didn't say that!" Don't blame you! I didn't mean anything! β
Liu Xi sighed, looking loveless, leaning on Ye Mingming's shoulder tiredly, "Hey, it would be nice if it was so simple to solve the case, I am recruiting whoever provokes whom, and I can encounter a murder when I watch a show." β
ββ
Qiao Lele was hung by his arm with a fishing line on the stage, and he was manipulated like a puppet.
Li Jian took photos and inspected the scene, there was an entrance and exit on both sides of the stage, according to Ye Mingming's recollection, Zhang Tan was standing on the left side at that time, and the right side was blocked by the curtain.
"Where were you all at the time? Did you find anything suspicious? Li Jian took out a voice recorder, "At that time, you were all preparing for the performance, it should be very scattered, how did the deceased get to the stage, did anyone see it?" β
Zhang Tan and the others shook their heads, "We are all busy with our own business, we don't pay attention to the stage, and usually no one will go to the stage at that time, so we don't care." β
Ye Mingming followed the staff to check the body, Qiao Lele had no obvious trauma on his body, but there were traces of being hit with a stick in the back of his head, he should have been beaten to death, and the specific situation could not be determined until after the official autopsy.
Seeing Si Bai here, Li Jian was very surprised, and went over to say hello, "Thank you for your cooperation in the matter of the Red House, that case has been hanging in my heart, and it is uncomfortable." β
Si Bai nodded indispensably, glanced down at his watch, followed Ye Mingming, and said lightly: "Team Li, she is no longer working in the police station now, and the time is not early, can we go back?" β
Li Jian was stunned for a moment, looked back at Ye Mengming, who had been helping, and nodded: "It's late, go back." But Mr. Si, I think Meng Meng really likes this job, you can persuade her more. β
When leaving the auditorium, Li Jian also grabbed Ye Mingming, "If you change your mind, come back, I think you are very suitable to be a policeman." What responded to him was Ye Mingming's silent silence.
Shao Qi received a phone call at the same time as Li Jianlai and left, at this time it was almost evening, the afterglow of the sunset was swaying on the cherry blossom road of H University, the gentle breeze accompanied by the fluttering leaves, and there were occasional students passing by, Ye Mingming and Si Bai had been silently walking side by side, she wanted to ask a lot, but she didn't know where to start.
"The villa is under investigation, so it shouldn't be inhabitable, right? Shao Qi is said to have his own residence, so what about you? Where do you stay at night? Ye Mingming turned her head and just saw Si Bai's side face and angular chin.
This question is very interesting, she clearly has more important and worrying questions to ask, but she still throws out such an insignificant beginning, Si Bai stroked his glasses, and his eyes behind the lenses were clear.
"You care about me so quickly, you must not be angry." Si Bai reached out to touch the top of her hair, but the next second he touched it.
Ye Mingming flashed to the side dexterously and agilely, avoiding his hand, "I still want to know what happened in City B, and all kinds of other secrets that I can't understand, but I also know that you won't say it, not only you, but even Shao Qi won't, although I threatened him, it didn't have any effect at all." β
"I think we're fiancΓ©s, we're people who are going to be together for the rest of our lives, and there's nothing wrong with each having their own bottom line, but that's not an excuse for you to have a lot of secrets."
"If we don't be honest with each other, then our relationship is useless, and it is better to dissolve it as soon as possible."
Ye Mengming said such a long sentence with emotion and righteousness, but Si Bai on the other side showed no signs of a broken expression, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in her heart.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard the clear voice whispering, "Be honest? β
Si Bai squinted, pulled her past and walked towards the car, no matter how much she struggled, she couldn't escape, Ye Mengmeng couldn't help but say angrily: "What are you going to do?" β
Stuffing her into the car, Si Bai blocked the car door, squinting at her condescendingly, "Give you a chance to be honest." β
Ye Mengming was in a state of blindfold all the way, until she saw the apartment building she had rented.
"What do you want to do?" This time, she asked a little flustered, and her fingers unconsciously picked at the seat belt.
Si Bai felt that she looked like a frightened rabbit now, completely different from when she handled the case in the past, and couldn't help but hook the corners of her lips, "Didn't you ask me where I lived at night?" Don't you want to be honest with me? Didn't you say we were an unmarried couple? β
"Well, then," he chuckled, "you should know exactly what I want to do." β
Ye Mingming stared at Si Bai tightly, feeling that he did not suspect that there was a fake, so he opened the car door with lightning speed and blew it out like the wind.
Looking at her who was running away, Si Bai raised his forehead slightly, revealing a light smile.
It's really not funny.
ββ
After returning to the police station, Liu Xi followed Li Jian to work overtime until late, thinking that she could go home by rubbing the car, but Li Jian called her a taxi, and stuffed it without saying a word.
Li Jianjian was at the door of the police station, looking at the taxi that was getting farther away, the expression on his face changed from soft to worried, if Liu Xi kept pestering him like this, maybe he would really be soft-hearted.
"Team Li, why are you still here so late?" Someone came over and asked.
Li Jian waved his hand indifferently: "It's nothing, just blow the wind, and I'll go in and work on the case of the red house in a while." β
The man was taken aback when he heard this, "Team Li, the case of the Red House has been handed over to Team Zhang, you don't know yet?" β
When did this happen? Li Jian's eyebrows twisted, and he walked inside, and asked Team Zhang to confirm that it had indeed been handed over. Team Zhang patted him on the shoulder: "This is also the meaning of the above, after all, this case has been going on for two years, and the signs are not obvious, and you have had trauma in that case, this investigation is not suitable for you, this is also the result of everyone's research, and you don't have negative feelings." β
It is impossible to have negative feelings, the case of the headless corpse has always been a thorn in his heart, he thought that he could take this opportunity to uproot it, but he didn't want to even give it this opportunity.
Li Jian thought about it, but didn't say anything more, and left with his clothes.
