Chapter 32: Chance Encounters

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, and Tian Yi quickly opened and closed the door and crept away.

However, no matter how light the movement was, the monkey policemen in the room were still aware of it at a distance of one door.

Meng Xuan was the first to react and rush out the door, but what caught his eye was a surprisingly familiar face.

"Xiao Xiaofei? Why are you here? ”

Xiao Xiaofei saw a figure turn down the stairs on the first floor, and said easily: "Come to find a friend, but it seems to be in the wrong place." What are you doing here? ”

"Official business." Meng Xuan said.

"Oh, then you can get busy slowly, I'll withdraw, and I'll play again another day when I'm free." Xiao Xiaofei hummed a little song and was about to go downstairs, but Meng Xuan behind her suddenly called out to her and asked, "How many floors does my friend live on?" ”

Xiao Xiaofei smiled, turned around and said, "Fourth floor." As she spoke, she pointed to the closed door opposite.

Meng Xuan glanced at it and asked again, "Does your sister know that you are here?" ”

"Of course not." Xiao Xiaofei shrugged his shoulders and went downstairs.

Downstairs, Xiao Xiaofei couldn't help but turn around and look up at the window on the second floor, and couldn't help but sigh that this Meng Xuan really didn't let go of any clues, even she, who could be regarded as a sister-in-law, had to doubt it.

A black Volkswagen quietly drove out of a certain community in the night, and poured into the endless flow of traffic, and Tian Yi and Xiao Xiaofei sat side by side in the back.

Tian Yi took out the mobile phone and handed it to Xiao Xiaofei, Xiao Xiaofei took it and looked at it for a while, suddenly frowned, and said, "We were tricked." ”

"What do you mean?"

"It's a broken phone." Xiao Xiaofei pressed the button for a long time, but the mobile phone screen was not half bright.

Tian Yi was annoyed that she had just been carried away by nervousness and fear, and she forgot to check her phone while hiding her phone, she guessed: "Could it be that this Jiang Yang has been willing to swallow his anger for so many years is because the evidence is gone?" ”

"It seems so." Xiao Xiaofei sighed.

At seven and three minutes, Tian Yi appeared in a thin little dress at the Haiyan Hotel.

Su Yize pulled out the chair for her with a smile and complained, "It's too late to invite me to dinner." ”

"That's better than your absence from my opening ceremony, although I invited this meal, but you have to pay me for it." Tian Yijiao was disgusted and playful, and her mouth was full of dissatisfaction with Su Yize's absence when the wedding dress shop opened that day.

Su Yize naturally knew about it, so he had to coax Tian Yi patiently.

"I haven't asked you yet, what is more important than the opening of my bridal shop, and you didn't come." Tian Yi asked.

"Boss, the insurance company just called to say that your car ......" Xue Fang's voice sounded from outside the door, but the voice stopped abruptly the moment he pushed the door in and saw Tian Yi, "I'm sorry Miss Tian, I didn't know you were here." ”

Tian Yi smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, let's talk about yours." ”

Xue Fang seemed to be a little hesitant, he raised his eyes to look at Su Yize, Su Yize's expression was full of nervousness, obviously to prevent him from speaking.

Tian Yi could also see it, pretending to be angry, and said, "Xue Fang, just say it, I'll take care of it." ”

After a long time, it seemed that the psychological struggle was almost done, and Xue Fang said in a hurry: "That's it...... It's the boss's car accident, the day your wedding shop opened, the boss was stumped by work, went late and was a little anxious, and as a result, he was rear-ended without paying attention. ”

"What? Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing? Tian Yi immediately jumped up nervously, and hurriedly ran to Su Yize to ask questions and check his physical condition.

Su Yize waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just the loss of the car." Eat quickly, or the seafood won't be fresh. ”

Tian Yi returned to his seat and sat down, and Xue Fang also withdrew from the private room with interest.

Closing the door tightly, Xue Fang took out his mobile phone and said to the person on the other end of the phone with a serious face: "Be careful, don't go wrong." ”

And this advice also fell word for word, and it all fell into the ears of Xiao Xiaofei, who came to borrow the bathroom. She passed by Xue Fang with a chill, and when the two of them looked at each other, they were full of defensiveness and familiarity with each other.

Passing by by mistake, Xue Fang couldn't help but chase that back and fell into deep thought.

On the same night, Jiang Yang's house was bustling with people.

Meng Xuan took Cheng Hantai and a police force to search the house, and was stunned that nothing was found, not only did there not have any suspicious fingerprints or footprints inside and outside the house, but there were even no traces of a person's normal life.

So, it's an anomaly.

"The house is clean and tidy." Cheng Hantai pouted and said.

Meng Xuan punched him and said with relief: "Not bad, boy, you learned well from your teacher." This room is clean and tidy, from which it can be inferred that this is obviously someone who has intentionally cleaned up, but there are a mess of leftovers and beer in the refrigerator, and a man who eats casually will have such good living habits? Apparently it was the murderer, or someone with ulterior motives who had been to the scene. ”

"Master, there's a box on it." Sung Han-tae pointed to the top of the refrigerator.

Meng Xuan reached out and took the wooden box down, but when he opened the lock, there was nothing inside.

"What do you think should be inside?" Meng Xuan asked Cheng Hankook.

Cheng Hantai gestured at the size of the box and asked, "Why does it have to be something?" ”

"With locks, on the fridge. If it's a collectible old thing, is it necessary to put it in a safe box and a place that is not easy to reach? Meng Xuan raised his chin, "Jiang Yang is only one meter seventy-three." ”

Cheng Hantai looked at it, Meng Xuan was more than one meter eight, so it was not difficult to take things from this refrigerator, but this was not the case for Jiang Yang, such an inconvenient place to put things should be an old thing that was not commonly used.

"How's the surrounding investigation?" Meng Xuan asked.

"There is not much surveillance, there is one entrance and exit of the community, there are six on the roadside in the community, one is broken, and the others can't photograph this building." Cheng Hantai looked at the small notebook he recorded and reported it one by one.

After turning around, Meng Xuan stopped at a small corner at the kitchen door, he touched a line of dust on the ground, and then gestured at this redundant and idle place, and asked Cheng Hankook: "You say, what can be put here?" ”

"Bedside table?" Cheng Han-tae replied tentatively.

Meng Xuan patted his head, looked at the carefully cleaned scene, and said to him: "Leave a team of people to search carefully, you take a team of people to visit the surrounding neighborhoods, and the rest of the people will check all the surveillance." ”

After giving the order, Meng Xuan walked to the door and prepared to breathe. Suddenly, he looked at the other side and said, "Cheng Hantai, go, smash that door open." ”

Cheng Hantai led a few small policemen to the opposite side and kicked them together, and it took a lot of effort to smash the door open, and a few people were dumbfounded when they entered.

The eighty-square-meter house was not large, but it was empty, without a single piece of furniture, but it was also spacious, and there was nothing else in the room except the moonlight shining in from outside.

"Go and find out what this house is." Meng Xuan was saying when he suddenly bent down.

He stretched out his hand, Cheng Hantai immediately handed over a plastic bag, and Meng Xuan put the black foreign object under his feet into the bag.

After seeing that thing clearly, Cheng Hantai said, "Master, this seems to be a button." ”

"I can see it." Meng Xuan said, "Check the house together." ”

"Master, where are you going?" Cheng Hantai saw Meng Xuan getting up to leave, and hurriedly asked.

Meng Xuan stretched and said, "Go back and have dinner, and then work overtime." ”

"Tut-tut, it's like I haven't seen my master for a day." Cheng Hantai complained silently.

Shang Xiaoyu, who was being nagged far away at home, sneezed several times in a row, and his mind was full of the bus driver's affairs. She now feels like Bao Zheng, there will be murders wherever she goes, and she doesn't know if it's because she knows Meng Xuan, a policeman, as if her entire fate has changed.

As soon as Meng Xuan came home, he saw Shang Xiaoyu sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in a daze with a drawing board, he quietly leaned over, but saw that the painting paper was lifelike Jiang Yang, who should have crossed the Nai He Bridge.

At this moment, Meng Xuan began to be curious.

Whether it is the portraits of the dead in Shang Xiaoyu's album, or the fact that she always has an inextricable relationship with all kinds of dead people again and again, and the death of the drunk man she had a premonition during the last barbecue asked him to call 120 in advance, this pile and piece had to make him feel strange.

Shang Xiaoyu had already noticed the person behind her, she didn't say anything or look back, she just leaned back and fell into that warm and familiar embrace.

Meng Xuan held Shang Xiaoyu in his arms, and the couple snuggled up to each other in the moonlight under the bustling night scene.

Perhaps, there are many stories she has not told him, but he believes that one day he will be the one she trusts to be the listener.

"Has your sister contacted you?" Meng Xuan asked.

Shang Xiaoyu laughed at herself: "How could she take the initiative to contact me." ”

Meng Xuan sighed and said, "I met her today, and she said that she was looking for a friend, so it looks like she should be on vacation." ”

"Let her be." Shang Xiaoyu shrugged, "Eat, eat, I'm hungry." ”

"You're cooking?" Meng Xuan was surprised.

Shang Xiaoyu proudly brought out two bowls from the kitchen, looking like a chef serving food. Meng Xuan laughed out loud when he saw it, hoping that it was too early to report.

And the dinner for the two that day was a bowl of instant noodles without seasoning.
