CHAPTER IX

(a)

The two of them came to the rental house again.

It still has the same appearance as it was when the body was found, and it has not changed.

The house is a two-bedroom apartment. Because it was a rental house, it was very shabby in its dΓ©cor, with only some of the most basic furniture and appliances.

The living room is not large, with a set of old sofas against the wall and a glass coffee table in front of the sofa.

The kitchen was small, so the fridge was placed next to the sofa.

In the room where Anne lived, there was a bed, a table, and a wardrobe. Because Anne had already moved out, the house was already tidy.

In the room where Xiaomei lives, there is also a bed, a table, and a wardrobe. It's just that because Xiaomei didn't move out at the time of the crime, the things in the room are still there, and they still retain the appearance when she lived.

"At that time, when the first time the evidence was investigated and collected, were the fingerprints not extracted?" Zhao Gang asked.

"There were no fingerprints of anyone other than the landlord's. Otherwise, we would have found out that the corpse was not Xiaomei. The murderer cleaned the scene, and he cleaned it very carefully. Not a single trace was left. Qin Tian said.

"Let's look again, look closer, and see if we can find any clues. Yan has left traces, it is impossible to have nothing. Zhao Gang said.

"Okay."

With that, the two put on their gloves and began to examine the room carefully.

Xiaomei's room, although her things are still placed. However, because the murderer cleaned it carefully, everything was packed and arranged very neatly.

"It seems that the murderer has already packed up all these things and put them in order. I guess there's no clue. Qin Tian looked a little disappointed.

"Look carefully and don't miss a corner. Look carefully at the door, on the wall, on the bed, under the bed, on the window, etc. Sometimes, clues may be inadvertently overlooked. Zhao Gang explained to Qin Tian carefully.

"Okay!" After Qin Tian finished speaking, he began to carefully inspect it in the room.

Suddenly, Qin Tian's eyes were attracted by a row of nails on the wall.

"Brother Zhao, come and see!" Qin Tian shouted at Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang hurriedly came over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Look, these nails on the wall behind the door are a little strange." Qin Tian said.

Zhao Gang came over to take a look, and there was a row of nails nailed to the wall behind the door. On the nails hung Xiaomei's bag, towels, and some decorations.

"These nails should be taped to the wall to hang something." Zhao Gang said.

"It's so dangerous to use nails, why don't you use sticky hooks!" Qin Tian said.

"This house is an old house, and that's how people used to hang things by driving nails in the walls." Zhao Gang said.

"However, the hook on the very edge doesn't seem to fit in with the nails." Qin Tian said.

On the very edge of the nail, there is indeed a glued hook with an ornament of a small fur ball.

"This, maybe it came later." Zhao Gang looked at the hook.

He tugged at the hook of the hook, and with a slight effort, the hook fell off.

"Why is it so unstable? Drop it with a single tug! Zhao Gang looked at the hook in his hand and said.

"Maybe it's a secondary use, but if you take it from other places and stick it here, it's not so strong." Qin Tian said.

Suddenly, Qin Tian pointed to the wall where the hook was torn off and asked, "What is that?" ”

I saw that at the place where the hook was torn off, there was a small hole in the wall.

"This, it looks like it should be a mark of a nail that has been driven before." Zhao Gang looked carefully at the small hole in the wall and said.

Then, he carefully placed the hook in his hand on the table. Then he came to the nail again, held the other nail next to him with both hands, pulled it out with all his might, and finally pulled the nail out.

There was a small hole in the wall.

"Look at these two holes, aren't they the same?" Zhao Gang looked at the position of the nail that had just been pulled out and said to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian looked at it carefully and said, "Yes, the size and shape are the same." It seems that the position of this hook has indeed been nailed before. ”

"Then why pull out the nail and put a hook on it?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Maybe the nail fell off, so I replaced it with a hook." Qin Tian said.

"If the nail falls, then don't want it, aren't there several more here anyway? Moreover, the nail did not fall off naturally, but was vigorously pulled out. Zhao Gang said.

"Why do you say that?" Qin Tian asked curiously.

"Did you see the action when I pulled out the nail next to me? How did it get unplugged? Zhao Gang asked.

"See, you used a lot of strength, and it was hard to pull it out." Qin Tian said.

"Yes, these nails are very strong, and the force is so small that they can't be pulled out at all. Moreover, I just pinched the nail and spun it around, shaking it vigorously, before pulling it out. So, if you look at this hole, there are obvious traces of the nails turning and shaking. Zhao Gang said.

"Really? I'll try. Qin Tian said.

Qin Tian also chose a nail. He clenched his hands and tried to pull the nail out, but the nail didn't move.

"It's really solid. You can't pull it out directly. Qin Tian said.

"You have to shake vigorously to pull it out." Zhao Gang said.

"You mean, this nail was pulled out by man?" Qin Tian asked.

"Yes." Zhao Gang said.

"But why deliberately pull out this nail and replace it with this glued hook? This hook is not as strong as the nails! Qin Tian said.

As he spoke, Qin Tian walked to the table and wanted to get the hook on the table.

"Don't move!" Suddenly, Zhao Gang snorted at him.

As soon as Qin Tian stretched out his hand, before he touched the hook, he was startled, and his hand retracted directly.

"What's wrong? Scared me. Qin Tian looked at Zhao Gang and asked suspiciously.

"Hook to take back. See if you can extract fingerprints on it. Zhao Gang said.

"Oh, that's it, okay!" With that, Qin Tian left the table.

Zhao Gang carefully put the hook into the special bag for evidence.

"Who put this hook on? Could it be that Xiaomei changed it herself? Qin Tian asked.

"I don't know yet. Why would the person who changed the hook go to the trouble of pulling out the nail and replacing it with the hook? Zhao Gang thought.

"Could it be to cover up this little hole in the wall?" Qin Tian said, "In order not to let people find out, there is a nail missing here." ”

"It's just one nail missing, so why cover it up?" Zhao Gang looked at the small hole in the wall and said.

He picked up the nail he had pulled out again and looked at it carefully.

The nails are iron nails, which are very thick and long.

"This nail must be five or six centimeters long, to say the least!" Zhao Gang looked at the nail and sighed.

"That's right, such a strong nail, I don't know why I have to work hard to pull it out." Qin Tian said.

Zhao Gang looked at the nail and fell into thought. After a while, he suddenly said to Qin Tian: "This nail is used to kill people, how about it?" ”

"What? …… Homicide? Qin Tian was taken aback by Zhao Gang's thoughts, "Who would have thought that this nail would be used to kill people?" That's a whimsical idea, isn't it? ”

"What if, not deliberately? But carelessly? Zhao Gang looked at Qin Tian with a strange look.

"You mean ......?" Qin Tian looked at Zhao Gang's serious appearance, and he couldn't help but think about it seriously.

"You see, the height of this nail is a little shorter than ours. If it is a woman, the height should be exactly at the position of the head. Zhao Gang pointed to the height of the nail and said to Qin Tian.

Although the body did not have a head, Forensic Doctor Zhang said that the deceased was about 160 centimeters tall. The height of this nail should be exactly at the back of the head. Qin Tian also said.

"Also, why doesn't the corpse have a head? Could the murderer take the deceased's head just to cover up the scar on the deceased's head caused by this nail? Zhao Gang asked.

"However, Forensic Doctor Zhang said that the deceased died of suffocation. Even if a nail caused a head injury, it was not a fatal injury, so why take the deceased's head? Qin Tian couldn't figure it out for a while.

"I didn't figure it out either. At the moment, everything is just speculation. If, as we expected, the nail fell because it was pierced into the deceased's head, then the murderer must have slammed the deceased's head into the nail, or rather, the wall. And this nail happened to pierce the head of the deceased. Subsequently, the murderer kept shaking the deceased's head, and only then did he bring the nail out. As for whether it was intentional or unintentional, it is unknown. ”

"However, the technical team has tested and there are no traces of blood on the wall." Qin Tian said.

"If the nails were all pierced into the head, it would probably not bleed.

"So, the nail, is it still in the head of the deceased?" Qin Tian asked.

"I don't know. However, if the killer knew that the nail had been pierced into the deceased's head, he could have taken the nail out and re-nailed it to the wall. In this way, no one will notice. Zhao Gang said.

"Or, maybe he was afraid that if he took out the nails, it would leave blood, so he didn't take them." Qin Tian said.

"It's possible what you're saying. However, there is also a possibility that the murderer did not know at the time that the nail had been pierced into the deceased's head. It was only after disposing of the body that he found that the nail was missing. In that case, he hid the head of the deceased, not to hide the scar on his head, but to hide the identity of the deceased. Zhao Gang said.

If these speculations are true, then this glued hook must have been glued by the murderer later. If fingerprints are extracted on it, it is very likely that it is the murderer's. ”

"That's right. If this is really the case, then the murderer is really a hundred secrets. ”

"But that's just speculation. It's also possible that there was really just a nail dropped here, and Xiaomei just bought a sticky hook to stick it on. ”

"Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out." Zhao Gang said.

Then, Zhao Gang said: "Let's look carefully and see if we can find some clues about the recording." I feel that Xiaomei should have a backup for such an important thing. ”

"If there's a backup, then she should store it in an extremely private place."

"So, we can't let go of any of the subtleties." Zhao Gang said.

The two continued to rummage through the room.

Zhao Gang stopped his gaze on Xiaomei's makeup table. The table is neatly filled with a wide variety of skincare products and makeup.

"Women, really beauty-loving animals, look at the cosmetics and skin care products on this table. No wonder, beautiful women are raised with money. This table shouldn't be cheap! Zhao Gang sighed.

Qin Tian heard Zhao Gang say this, and also came to the makeup table, he picked up a bottle of lotion on the table, looked at it, and said, "SK2, this brand is not cheap, I saw that my girlfriend bought such a bottle of water, more than a thousand." ”

As he spoke, Qin Tian put the lotion back on the table, picked up another bottle of red cream, and said, "That's it, such a small bottle of cream will cost more than a thousand." It's a pity, such a good thing, wasted! ”

As he spoke, Qin Tian unscrewed the lid of the cream, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"It doesn't smell like it! Such an expensive thing is not fragrant. I thought that women's skin care products were all fragrant! Qin Tian said disappointedly.

However, he suddenly seemed to notice that something was wrong. He saw that inside the cream, a small piece of something resembling a plastic bag was exposed.

"What is this?" Qin Tian said curiously.

He reached in, picked up the small piece of plastic that leaked out, pulled it out, and pulled out a small plastic bag.

"What is this, be careful." Zhao Gang saw the plastic bag that Qin Tian pulled out and told him.

The plastic bag was small, but the outside was covered in white slimy cream.

Qin Tian took a piece of paper and carefully wiped off all the creams on the outside of the bag.

It's a very small sealed plastic bag, like a bag for a woman's earrings. Inside the bag, there is a square thing.

Qin Tian carefully opened the seal of the plastic bag and took out the contents inside.

This time, they saw clearly, it was a USB flash drive.

"It's actually a USB flash drive, it seems, this should be what we're looking for!" Qin Tian said excitedly.

"Nine times out of ten. It's definitely something very important to hide so secretly. Zhao Gang said.

"You said that this Xiaomei, you can actually think of hiding it in it, I really admire! You say, who would have thought of this! Qin Tian had to admire Xiaomei.

Indeed, the average person would never have imagined it. Except for herself, these things were useless and no one noticed. It is estimated that she should not want Wang Kai to find out, after all, Wang Kai will come to her from time to time. Perhaps, she felt that no other place was safe! ”

"Also, it's not safe to put it anywhere!" Qin Tian said.

"Xiaomei must not have thought that something so hidden could be discovered. Also, who can be like you, even women's skin care products have to be opened and smelled. It's really crooked! Zhao Gang said.

"I didn't expect it, I just wanted to smell it! When I was a child, we said to rub incense. So I always thought that the skin care products that women use to wipe their faces are fragrant. Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Be careful, on this USB flash drive, it is very likely that fingerprints can be extracted." Zhao Gang instructed Qin Tiandao.

"Oh, good." As he spoke, Qin Tian carefully put the USB flash drive into the special evidence bag.

"Let's see if we can find any other clues." Zhao Gang said to Qin Tian.

"Good. Unexpectedly, today is really rewarding! ”

"Sometimes, clues are really stumbled."

The two of them looked at the other places carefully, but found no other valuable clues.

"It seems that there is no more valuable clue to be found. The murderer was too clean. Qin Tian complained.

"So let's do it today! Anyway, it's still a bit rewarding. Zhao Gang said.

Zhao Gang seemed to think of something again, and said, "By the way, Zhang Bing said before that Anne called him, what do you think?" ”

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, "So it seems. Anne must know that Wang Kai took 200,000 yuan. Moreover, she must have known that Wang Kai was lying. ”

"That's right. If Anne really believed Zhang Bing's words, then she would definitely comfort Wang Kai's parents. After all, the future father-in-law was seriously injured and had such a major operation, as the future daughter-in-law, it was impossible for her not to ask. ”

"We've checked her call logs. After she finished calling Zhang Bing, she called Wang Kai's mother. Therefore, she must have known about Wang Kai's lie. It's just that I don't know if Wang Kai took 200,000 yuan to Xiaomei, whether Anne knows. ”

"Well, I'm afraid I'm going to ask Anne." Zhao Gang said.

After speaking, Zhao Gang looked at the time, it was almost time for Anne to get off work.

"Let's go, go to Annie's company!" Zhao Gang said to Qin Tian.

(b)

When the two came downstairs to Anne's company, it was their time to get off work.

Zhao Gang quickly took out his mobile phone and made a call to Anne.

The phone rang for a moment before Anne picked it up.

"Hey, hello!" Anne's gentle voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hello Annie, I'm Officer Zhao Gang Zhao, and we've met."

When Anne heard that it was Officer Zhao, she said, "Oh, wait a minute. With that, Anne walked out of the office with the phone.

She walked through the hallway outside the office to the window around the corner. Then, into the phone, he said:

"Officer Zhao, hello! Is there anything you want me to do? ”

"Excuse me, are you off work?"

Anne thought for a moment and said, "Oh, it's just time to get off work, and there's still some work to be done. ”

"And when will you be done? We have some questions that we want to know about. ”

"It's not good, and it may not be done for a while." Anne thought for a moment, then asked, "What do you want to ask?" Just ask on the phone! ”

Zhao Gang paused for a moment and said, "Let's wait for you to get off work!" ”

Anne was lost in thought. After a while, she said: "Well, it may not be possible today, I still have a lot of work here, and I will work overtime until late." ”

"In that case, let's talk on the phone! Actually, it's not particularly important. I just want to know about Wang Kai's 200,000 yuan, do you know? ”

Anne was stunned for a moment. Only Wang Kai, Zhang Bing, and her knew about this matter. How would the police know? Wang Kai and she can't say it, could it be that Zhang Bing said it? If it wasn't Zhang Bing who said it, did the police find out by themselves?

Anne's mind was thinking quickly.

"Hey, Annie, are you listening?" Zhao Gang saw that Anne didn't respond for a long time, and shouted on the phone again.

"Oh, I'm listening. That's the thing, I know. Anne thought for a moment, since the police already knew about the 200,000 yuan, then they should have found something. This kind of obvious fact, if you deny it again, is easy to arouse suspicion.

"Do you know about 200,000?" Zhao Gang asked again.

Anne felt that there was no need to hide it. Then he said: "I asked Zhang Bing, and he told me. ”

"Then, do you know what Wang Kai did with the 200,000 yuan?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"Of his 200,000 li, 100,000 were borrowed from Zhang Bing. At that time, when he borrowed money, he told Zhang Bing that his father accidentally fell off a ladder and was seriously injured, and he urgently needed 200,000 yuan for surgery. Anne didn't hide it, she felt that at this time, it might be better to be honest. What's more, these truths are of no special use.

"The result? Did his father really fall and get seriously injured? Zhao Gang asked.

Anne thought, did the police really not know, or were they deliberately testing me? If they really want to know, look it up. This is a no-brainer for them as police officers. Thinking of this, Anne thought, no matter what, it is better not to lie about this matter.

"After calling Zhang Bing, I called Wang Kai's mother. His father was fine and not hurt at all. Anne said.

"In other words, Wang Kai lied, did he use the 200,000 yuan to do something else?"

"Yes. At least, his father, indeed, was not injured. ”

"Then do you know what he did with the 200,000 yuan?"

"I don't know."

"Didn't you ask him?"

"Wang Kai, he is a very face-saving person. If I had asked him directly, he wouldn't have answered. Since he didn't want me to know, naturally, he wouldn't tell me easily. ”

"Have you tried asking him in any other way?"

"I've asked on the side, but I don't have an answer."

"So, don't you want to know the answer?"

"Of course I want to know. However, I didn't want to hurt my relationship with him. So, if he doesn't say it, I won't ask again. ”

"200,000, it's gone, you don't even ask?"

"I don't want to ask. When he wants to say something, he will naturally tell me. ”

"Does he know that Zhang Bing told you about this?"

"I don't know. I promised Zhang Bing, I won't say. Zhang Bing also promised me, and he wouldn't say anything. Moreover, every time I asked Wang Kai, I asked very vaguely, and he should not have guessed that I already knew about it. ”

"So, haven't you thought of figuring it out in any other way? Like, looking at his phone or something? ”

"I never peeked at his phone. He won't look at me either. This is our tacit understanding and our trust in each other. ”

"So, you really don't know?"

"Officer, I've made it clear. I really don't know what he did with the 200,000. ”

"Don't you want to go any further?"

"I don't want to think about it, struggling with these things every day will only make us more tired. Take 10,000 steps back and say, as long as it is not illegal, I can turn a blind eye. money, you can earn it later. But I didn't want to lose him. We're getting married this year! ”

"Oh, is it? That's a big deal. When is the wedding dated? ”

"It's probably October, and we haven't discussed it yet."

"Then congratulations in advance!"

"Thank you!"

Zhao Gang was still thinking about whether to tell Anne about the 200,000 yuan. However, hearing Anne say that they were going to get married, Zhao Gang thought about it and still didn't say anything about it. After all, from the current point of view, Annie's statement is consistent with what Zhang Bing said, and she is not lying to them.

At this moment, Zhao Gang heard a woman's voice on the phone.

The voice was familiar. Zhao Gang recalled and remembered Annie's colleague Linglong.

Linglong carried her bag and was ready to go home from work. She came out of her office and walked through the hallway to see Anne around the corner, facing out the window. He called out to her: "Annie, you are here!" I didn't see you anymore after work, and I thought you were home! ”

"Oh no, I'll take the phone." Anne gestured to her phone.

"Oh, are you done? Walk together? Linglong asked.

"No, you go back first, I'll have to work overtime later."

"Hey, guess you're going to work overtime. I've seen your pile, and I don't know when you're going to finish it tonight! Linglong said sympathetically.

"I can't help it!" Anne also complained.

"Okay, then I'll go first. Don't be too late! Linglong said.

"Hmm!" Anne nodded at Linglong.

After Linglong left, Anne said to Zhao Gang on the phone, "Officer Zhao, do you have anything else to ask?" You probably heard that just now, I still have a lot of work to do! If it's okay, I'll go back to work! ”

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you can get busy first, excuse me, thank you!" ”

"Where's the word, you're welcome!" With that, Anne hung up.

She let out a long sigh and looked out the window.

The lights of the city have begun to come on one after another.

The dark night is getting brighter and brighter.

(c)

Zhao Gang hung up the phone and fell into deep thought.

"Let's go, Brother Zhao, why are you still stunned!" Qin Tian saw that Zhao Gang was stunned, so he pushed him.

"Huh? Where to go? Zhao Gang was pushed by Qin Tian like this, as if he had come back to his senses.

"I'm back! The phone calls are all over, and everything that should be asked has been asked, why don't you go back! Qin Tian said, and was about to take a step to leave.

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Gang grabbed Qin Tian.

"What are you waiting for?" Qin Tian looked puzzled.

"Wait for someone." Zhao Gang said.

"Wait for someone? Who is it? ”

"Linglong."

"Linglong?" Qin Tian quickly recalled this familiar name in his mind, and soon, he remembered it. "The girl? Anne's colleague and roommate? ”

"That's right."

"What are you waiting for her?"

"Go to her house."

"To her house? They may have gone home! Here, can you wait? Qin Tian asked.

"Don't worry, she'll be there soon." Zhao Gang pointed to the gate of the company.

"How do you know?"

"When I was on the phone with Anne, I heard her say hello to Anne on the phone, she had just gotten off work and was getting home. This will be coming down from the elevator. Zhao Gang explained to Qin Tian.

"I see! I said, how can you be so sure! Qin Tian thought for a moment, and then said, "Just let her take us home like this, are people willing?" ”

"If it were me, she might not be happy. However, if it were you, she would definitely say yes. ”

"Why?"

"Because you're handsome!"

"Come on!" Qin Tian said disdainfully.

"I'm serious. When she comes down, you will speak. ”

"I'm embarrassed, why don't you go!

"You know, you're a police officer. Nothing to be embarrassed about. Zhao Gang looked at Qin Tian.

"Well, then!" Qin Tian said reluctantly.

"After a while, when you get to their house, pay attention to the details." Zhao Gang instructed Qin Tian again.

"Don't worry, you know! I've been with you for so long and know what to do! ”

"That's good! Hope you don't leave empty-handed! ”

The two of them stared at the entrance and exit of the gate as they spoke.

Soon, Linglong appeared in view. As soon as she stepped out of the company's door, Qin Tian stepped forward and stopped her.

"Hello, Miss Linglong!" Qin Tian greeted her with a smile.

Linglong was taken aback by the sudden and enthusiastic greeting.

She looked at Qin Tian and frowned, as if she didn't remember who he was for a while.

"You don't remember me? My name is Qin Tian. We've met. Last time, it was at this gate, when you were with Anne. Qin Tian reminded her.

Linglong suddenly realized, and exclaimed in surprise: "Ah! It's you, remember! ”

Linglong asked again, "Are you here to find Annie?" She's still working overtime! ”

"No, we're waiting for you here!" Qin Tian said with a smile.

"Wait for me?" Linglong's face was full of questions, "What are you waiting for me to do?" ”

"That's right, we're the police. There are some things I want to know from you. As he spoke, Qin Tian took out the police card from his arms.

When Linglong saw the police certificate, the smile on her face disappeared for a while, revealing a puzzled expression.

"You're a police officer, huh?" Linglong glanced at Qin Tian, then at Zhao Gang, and said, "What do you want to know from me?" I didn't do anything unreasonable!

"Miss Linglong, don't misunderstand, and don't be afraid. We just wanted to know a little bit about Anne. Zhao Gang stood up and said.

"About Anne?" Linglong was curious, "Did Anne do something?" I remember the last time you came to her. ”

"At the moment, it's not clear. We just wanted to know more. Zhao Gang said.

"So, what do you want to ask?" Linglong asked.

"We want to go to your rented house and have a look, I don't know if it's convenient." Qin Tian looked at Linglong and said gently.

"This ...... Where the two of us girls live, you go, it's not suitable! Linglong showed embarrassment.

"Don't worry, we're just going to take a look, ask some questions and go. The neighborhood you live in is a well-known high-end neighborhood nearby, and we would like to visit it too. Qin Tian said, "Besides, we are policemen." You have nothing to worry about. ”

Linglong thought for a moment and said, "Well, okay! ”

"Thank you for your cooperation!" Zhao Gang also expressed his gratitude to Linglong.

"The place where we stayed was close to here. Let's just walk over it. Linglong said to them.

"Well, we know where you guys live. Last time, we sent Anne back to the door of the community. Qin Tian said.

"You sent Anne back?" Linglong's solemn expression suddenly relaxed, "Then it seems that Anne didn't do anything, otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to send her back, would you?" ”

"At the moment, everything is still under investigation. Anne is also cooperating with our investigation. Qin Tian said.

"Understand that citizens have an obligation to cooperate with police investigations. I'm cooperating with your investigation, right? Linglong looked at Qin Tian and said.

"Of course." Qin Tian smiled.

"Then, let's go!" Linglong said to them.

It didn't take long for them to arrive at the neighborhood where Linglong and Anne lived.

The scenery in the community is beautiful, the flowers and plants are different, and there are many bonsai landscapes, which makes this community look like it does have a sense of nobility.

Linglong led them downstairs to the hall.

The floor and walls of the hall are paved with marble, and the cleaning aunt is wiping the walls. A large crystal chandelier hangs from the top of the hall, decorating the place magnificently.

"The decoration here is really luxurious, and it can catch up with a five-star hotel!" Qin Tian looked at this luxurious hall and couldn't help but sigh.

"Of course, otherwise, how can it be called a high-end community!" Linglong said with a smile. Then she added, "Wait for me." ”

After speaking, Linglong came to the side of the mailbox.

She pulled out the key, opened mailbox 1203, and retrieved two magazines from it.

"Let's go, let's go to the elevator." Linglong hugged the magazine and said to the two.

"Is this the magazine you subscribe to? You're really Yaxing! Qin Tian glanced at the magazine that Linglong was holding in his arms.

"What, I didn't order it. I don't know what's going on, I've been getting such junk magazines lately! Linglong grumbled.

"Junk magazines?" Qin Tian asked puzzled.

"Well, that's the kind of ...... You know, what kind of gynecological diseases, infertility or something...... You know. Linglong said to Qin Tian embarrassedly.

"How do you get such a magazine? Has it always been there? Qin Tian asked.

"No, it's just a period of time."

"Could it be that the hospital did the promotion, so it was sent to you?" Qin Tian asked again.

"I don't know! However, I asked a few of my neighbors who live here, and they all said they hadn't received them. ”

"Perhaps, because you are young girls, I sent it to you!" Qin Tian said.

"There are four households on our floor, and three of them have young girls, so why haven't anyone else received them!"

"Oh, that's weird!"

"That's it!"

At this time, Zhao Gang next to him suddenly said, "Your magazine, can you show me it?" ”

Linglong was a little unconvinced and asked, "Gynecology magazine, do you want to read it too?" ”

"Oh, flip through it." Zhao Gang said very calmly.

"Oh, if you like it, I'll give it to you, and take it back and watch it slowly." Linglong said with a smile.

As she spoke, she handed the two magazines to Zhao Gang.

Zhao Gang flipped through it casually, one of which was a magazine that introduced gynecological diseases and infertility, while the other, not a magazine, was a brochure of a gynecological hospital.

Zhao Gang looked at the hospital on the brochure, and its name was Meimei Maternity Hospital.

"Have you ever been to this wonderful maternity hospital?" Zhao Gang asked Linglong directly.

"What are you talking about! How could I have been to such a hospital! Linglong said a little angrily.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that. I'm too direct. Zhao Gang hurriedly apologized, "I'm just wondering if the hospital sent you this because you left the address there." ”

"How is this possible! I've never even heard the name of this hospital, and it's impossible to go there. I have also seen advertisements for these so-called maternity hospitals, infertility hospitals, etc., in other media, all of which are Putian and garbage. Even if you go to see a doctor, you can't go to such a place. ”

"Oh, that's sorry! I'm just asking. Zhao Gang paused and asked again, "So, Anne, have you been to this hospital?" ”

"How do I know that! It's someone else's privacy. However, I guess even if it was to see a doctor, Anne would not be stupid enough to go to such a place! ”

"So, when did you start receiving these things?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"It's been a while. The last two or three months! Linglong thought for a moment and said.

"The last two or three months? That is, after Anne moved in, didn't she? Zhao Gang asked.

Linglong thought about it carefully again and said, "I don't remember clearly." It should be about the same! ”

"Okay, I got it. Thank you! Zhao Gang said to Linglong.

"I said, you two big men, here with a girl to discuss the maternity hospital, talk about other people's privacy, this, not very good?" Linglong said to them.

"Oh yes, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Zhao Gang hurriedly apologized.

"Alright, let's not talk about this, it's coming soon." Linglong looked at the elevator and was about to reach the floor.

After getting out of the elevator, they came to the door of room 1203.

Linglong took out the key and opened the door.

"Come in, you two, and sit down." After Linglong opened the door, she let them in.

When the two entered the room, they began to look around the room.

The house is a standard two bedroom apartment and is beautifully decorated. The kitchen was kept very clean and the living room was tidy. The wall next to the dining table is covered with photos, making it a photo wall, which is very warm. The wall behind the sofa is decorated with paintings, which looks very stylish. On the balcony, a lot of flowers were also planted.

"The decoration here is very exquisite!" Qin Tian said.

"Definitely, otherwise, how can you afford such an expensive rent!"

"How much is your rent here?" Qin Tian asked.

"Six thousand a month. Fortunately, Anne and I shared a house, and we were three thousand each. Otherwise, I can't afford such an expensive rent alone. ”

"I heard Anne say that the place where she used to live was only 1,000 yuan a month. The rent here is three times as much as there! Qin Tian said again.

"Huh? Is it? Where she used to live, was it that cheap? I really don't know. Linglong looked surprised.

"Didn't she say that?" Qin Tian asked.

"Nope. She just said it was a little more expensive than where she used to live, but she didn't say it was that much. ”

"In your company, there are very few people who can rent such a good house to live in, right?" Qin Tian said.

"Yes! We are all ordinary wage earners, and many people are not willing to spend so much money on renting a house. So, when my ex-roommate was about to move out, I thought I couldn't find someone to share with me! Linglong said happily.

"Then, how could Anne want to live in such an expensive house? She's just an ordinary employee in your company, right? ”

"I didn't expect her to be willing to share a room with me. What do you say," Linglong thought for a moment and said, "I'm also an old employee of the company, and my position is higher than Anne's, and my salary is higher than hers." With such a high rent, I still have a hard time. To be honest, I really didn't expect her to come and share a room with me. ”

"Perhaps, she saw your house and thought it was very good and worth it, so she was willing to move here!" Qin Tian said again.

"But she didn't come to see my house! She doesn't know what my house looks like! ”

"What? Anne hasn't seen your house? Are you saying she didn't come to see the house until she moved in? Qin Tian felt very strange.

"Yes, supposedly, with such an expensive rent, you have to look at the house first! However, she just sent me a message one night and asked if I would like her to share a room with me. Of course, I couldn't ask for it. However, I also asked her if she wanted to come and see the house first, and she said no, she just moved over. ”

"With such an expensive rent, I decided to move here without even looking at the house?"

"Yes! I thought, this girl is so upright! ”

"However, the house she rented before has not expired, and if she moves here, won't it be equivalent to paying two rents?"

"Yes! I thought so too, and asked her. However, she said it didn't matter. She said that it was closer to the company, so it was more convenient. ”

"You say, she moved in when your house was still a month away? When exactly? Qin Tian asked again.

"Yes! My house is due on Double 11. Anne moved in on October 12th. Just one month before my house expired. ”

"You just said that she suddenly messaged you one night that she wanted to share a room with you, what day was it?"

"It was the first two days of her move," Linglong thought for a moment, and said, "it should be the ninth of October." She took a day off the next day after sending me a message, saying she wasn't feeling well. On the eleventh, she came to work and said she was moving over. Then I moved in the next day. ”

"So fast?"

"Yes! My house is empty anyway, and I think she can move in at any time. ”

Linglong was chatting with Qin Tian while making freshly ground coffee in the kitchen.

Qin Tian saw that Linglong was busy in the kitchen as soon as she came back, so he asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"I'm making coffee. Wait, you can taste it! Linglong said mysteriously.

"You can make coffee, huh? Really capable. ”

"What is this! I learned it all from Anne. She's the real master and can do anything. I'm so far worse than her! Linglong said as she poured the coffee machine.

"It's already good. Like us, nothing will be done. Girls have to be able to do it after all! ”

"Wait, soon! You sit down for a moment. Linglong said to them.

"It's okay, you take your time."

After speaking, Qin Tian and Zhao Gang just started to walk around the house.

Two bedroom doors, one open and one closed. The one that was open was exquisite, and after coming back just now, Zhao Gang saw her use the key to open the bedroom door and put the bag inside.

"I see you used the key when you opened the bedroom door just now. Do you two girls usually lock your room door like this? Two girls, they shouldn't need to be so defensive against each other, right? Zhao Gang said tentatively.

"Oh, this one, you're thinking too much. When we are not at home, we usually lock the doors of our bedrooms. It's not to protect ourselves from our own. The main thing is to prevent thieves. After all, we're not home during the day, so it's safer to lock it up. ”

"Oh, that's right! Girls, it's always right to be more safety-conscious. ”

Zhao Gang came to the photo wall full of photos again. On this, hang some photos of Linglong's past.

"Are these photos from your previous ones?" Zhao Gang asked.

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Oh, nothing. You used to look a little thinner than you do now. ”

When Linglong heard Zhao Gang say this, she smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a little thinner, it's a lot thinner, okay?" Actually, I used to be in good shape, much slimmer than I am now. Since Anne moved here, we have eaten a lot of fish and meat every day, and if you don't believe it, I have gained weight like this in just one month! ”

"A month? What did you all eat? Zhao Gang looked at the Linglong in front of him, and he was a lot fatter than in the previous photo.

"Hey, it's all kinds of soup every day. Stewed chicken, stewed pork ribs...... In short, what is nutritious to eat, I think, better than other people who do confinement! ”

"Don't you know you're going to gain weight like that?"

"Yes!"

"You know you still eat like that, huh?"

"Hey, wasn't this house still a month due when Anne moved in? She gave me a month's rent. But I didn't. Because the girl had already paid the rent before, she didn't give it back. So, I confiscated Anne's money. Anne said, then use the money as living expenses for that month, and everyone eats together. ”

"Then, you don't need to eat and drink like this!" Qin Tian smiled unkindly.

"As I said, it's too easy to gain weight by eating like this. However, Anne said, it was nutritious to eat. Do this every day. I don't know how to cook, so I'll eat whatever she does. ”

"And now? Do you still eat like this? ”

"Definitely not! After eating for a month, everyone can't stand it anymore. Now, it's more normal to do something. ”

"It's easy to eat fat, but it's hard to lose weight!"

"Yes! Now I regret dying, I knew that I shouldn't have eaten like that in the first place. It's all to blame on Anne, this woman, who is too upright, has to say that she wants to use the money as living expenses. ”

"People are also kind!"

"I know. So, I can only blame myself! I can't keep my mouth shut! Linglong said helplessly.

When Linglong and Qin Tianzheng were chatting energetically. Zhao Gang asked: "What do you think, how is Anne?" ”

"What's going on? Where? Linglong looked at Zhao Gang and asked.

"It's like, the way she feels. In life, at work, personality, temper, etc. You and she are colleagues, and you have lived together for a while, so you should know her better! Zhao Gang said.

"She's fine, there's nothing wrong with her. She works hard and has a good temper, and everyone doesn't want to do the tiring work, so let her do it. She didn't say anything either. ”

"Isn't that a clear bully for her? Is she willing to take it? ”

"Actually, it's not bullying! Our company doesn't have much to do. It's a business trip, and everyone doesn't want to go. So, it's generally for Anne to go. In fact, Anne often travels on business, and it is quite hard. ”

"Traveling a lot? Is it frequent? ”

"A month, two or three times!"

"How long do you go each time? Where are they going? ”

"That's not good. Sometimes a day or two, sometimes three or five days. Where to go is also uncertain. ”

"Oh, that's hard." Zhao Gang said.

After saying that, he fell into deep thought again. After a while, he seemed to remember something again, and asked, "So, when I'm not on business, is Anne usually at home?" ”

"It's all at home! Anne is a girl who is also a decent traditional girl. We don't like to go out to nightclubs or anything, and we usually go home after work. Sometimes, on weekends we go shopping or something. Of course, she won't talk about it when she's dating her boyfriend. ”

"Her boyfriend, have you seen it?"

"I've seen it, I've been here twice."

"It's been so long, and you've only been here twice?" Zhao Gang felt that this number of times was too little.

"Yes! According to Anne, her boyfriend's company is near the North Gate, where they used to live. You know, this is the South Gate, it's quite far away. Therefore, her boyfriend rarely comes over. ”

"So, they see each other very rarely? So, is the relationship between the two people okay? ”

"I don't know. After all, people don't tell me every date. Sometimes, people make appointments on weekends or something, so how do I know! After all, every couple has their own way of getting along! ”

"So, from their usual phone calls, chats, or whatever, do you feel that there is any problem with their relationship?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"There was a time when they used to talk on the phone a lot. Wang Kai also cares about her. At that time, Anne had not yet moved in. Often when I was at work, I saw that Wang Kai cared about whether she worked overtime or something. Later, after Anne moved over, Wang Kai didn't seem to care about her so much. Maybe it's because the two are too far apart! ”

"You mean to say that the distance is far away, and the relationship between the two has faded?"

"That's not a good thing to say. Just feel. I've met Wang Kai twice, and I feel, how to say, he's not very enthusiastic, and he seems to be a little perfunctory. ”

"How?"

"It's just that Anne cares about him, but he doesn't seem to appreciate it. Annie, it's like a hot face against a cold ass. ”

"Why? Where did you see that? ”

"For example, I once ate at home. Anne made a table of delicious food, she was very happy, and said that these are Wang Kai's favorite foods. During the meal, she specially sandwiched a piece of braised pork for Wang Kai, saying that this was his favorite food. Unexpectedly, Wang Kai said that it was too oily, so he threw it directly into the trash. At the time, I was still sitting at the table! Anne's face was extremely ugly. ”

"Do you think Wang Kai did it on purpose?"

"It feels like. Otherwise, it's obviously my favorite food, why don't you suddenly stop eating it? And, in front of me, it's too shameful to give Anne. Also, usually, when Anne asks him anything, he doesn't say a word, and he looks very cold. ”

"And will Anne be able to bear it?"

"Yes! She can be said to be obedient to Wang Kai. Once, Wang Kai came and sat on the sofa watching TV. Anne called him, and called him four times, and he heard it, but he didn't answer. Anne wasn't angry either! Another time, Anne made him a cup of chrysanthemum tea, and he poured it directly into the toilet in a daze, saying that he had changed his taste and stopped drinking chrysanthemum tea. ”

"Has Wang Kai always been like this?"

"Probably not! I feel that the relationship between the two was very good before, and the phone calls were quite affectionate. Now, it feels cold. ”

It should be said that Anne is enthusiastic about Wang Kai, but Wang Kai is cold to her. Is that what it means? Zhao Gang asked.

"yes, that's pretty much it! The falling flowers are intentional, and the flowing water is ruthless! Love, it's one thing to one thing! ”

"So, did they talk about when they got married?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"Married? Haven't heard of it. If that's the case, then I guess Anne is jumping into the fire pit. ”

"Moths to the fire and bring about their own destruction?"

"Or else? With Wang Kai's current attitude towards her, she will not be happy if she gets married. ”

"Do you know why Wang Kai has such an attitude towards her now?"

"I don't know. However, the two seem to have quarreled over something. Wang Kai seems to be dissatisfied with what Anne has done. By doing so, he was deliberately targeting Anne. ”

"Why?"

"Once, when I came back from overtime, I heard Anne talking on the phone in the toilet, and her voice was so low that I couldn't hear what she was saying. However, the two seem to have had an argument. As she spoke, Anne suddenly became very excited, and the volume of her speech suddenly increased, and all I could hear was what she said, 'She died because of you,' and 'How long are you going to do this to me?' Her voice sounded angry and sad. ”

"And then?"

"Then I heard her say, 'Since you don't want to talk to me, then I'm going to hang up.'" At that time, I was pouring water at this table, because it was relatively close to the toilet, so I heard it. I heard her say that it was hanging, so I quickly put down the cup and ran back to the door, pretending that I had just returned. I don't want her to think I'm eavesdropping on her phone calls. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that Anne said, 'Something is dead?'"

"Strange! Then Anne came out, and she was startled when she saw me and asked me when I was back. I said I had just come back, and as soon as I entered the door, I heard you say that something seemed to be dead. I asked her, "What is dead?" ”

"What did she say?"

"She said nothing, that a stray cat had died in the neighborhood where she used to live."

"The stray cat is dead? What does it have to do with them? ”

"That's what I thought at the time. I said that a stray cat is dead, so it won't scream! Anne said that the stray cat was very pitiful, and she and Wang Kai used to feed it often. Later, when she moved, she originally wanted to bring the cat with her, but Wang Kai didn't let her bring it. Later, the cat died. ”

"That's why Anne said, 'It died because of you?' ”

"Maybe! That's what I thought at the time. ”

"However, if this is the case, it should be Anne who is angry with Wang Kai, why is Wang Kai angry with Anne?"

Anne said that because of this incident, she snubbed Wang Kai for a while. Wang Kai felt that in Anne's heart, he was not as good as a stray cat. So, he proposed to Anne to break up. Anne felt that she seemed to have gone too far, a little too much, Wang Kai was serious, so she took the initiative to curry favor with Wang Kailai. However, Wang Kai seemed to be really sad and didn't buy her account! ”

"Did Anne tell you all this?"

"Yes! At that time, talking about stray cats, Anne told me these things by the way. Because I saw Wang Kai's attitude towards her before, and she also knew it. Maybe I'm afraid I'll misunderstand something, so I want to explain. ”

"So, you also think that the conflict between them originated from the stray cat?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Or else? I think it's possible that what Anne said. Sometimes, feelings are easily hurt by these small things that are not easy to take. After all, women are sensual, and it's normal to have a temper tantrum sometimes. And men are rational, they can't stand women's nonsense, and after a long time, they feel annoyed. The feelings were hurt unconsciously. ”

"Sounds like that!" Qin Tian echoed.

"Hey, it's better for us not to interfere more in the affairs of the two people." Linglong said.

"You're right!" Zhao Gang thought for a while, and then asked, "By the way, do you still remember, when and what day did you hear her make this call?" ”

"I don't remember that. It's been a bit of a long time anyway. ”

"It's been a long time? More than a week? Zhao Gang asked again.

"That's been more than a week!" Linglong said with certainty.

At this time, Zhao Gang didn't speak again, his head seemed to be thinking about something.

After a while, Linglong had already brewed coffee.

"Fresh, freshly ground coffee, how about two of you taste it!" As she spoke, Linglong put two cups of coffee on the coffee table.

Then, she looked in the direction of the balcony, and the sky outside was already dark.

"It's getting dark too early this winter!" Linglong sighed.

With that, she walked to the balcony and pressed the switch on the balcony wall.

Suddenly, the small strings of lights that were wrapped around the balcony like little stars all lit up. The small bulb glows white and warm, flashing and flickering, which is particularly beautiful.

Zhao Gang and Qin Tian were also attracted by this beautiful sight for a while.

"It's beautiful, it's romantic!" Qin Tian couldn't help but sigh.

"It's romantic, isn't it? My favorite thing is to sit on the chair on the balcony and listen to the song and drink coffee at the same time. During the day, it is there to bask in the sun. At night, it's there to see the starry sky. ”

"Looking at the stars? It's a life in style. So, what if there is no starry sky? At night, it's dark. Qin Tian said.

"If there is no starry sky, then look at the neon lights of the city and look at the traffic below, which is also a special taste." Linglong added, "Our balcony has a very good view, and we can see most of the city. In fact, the city at night is also very beautiful. ”

"Really? Then I'd like to check it out. Qin Tian said, and walked to the balcony.

He looked into the distance, and the city was in full view. The vision is truly invincible!

"How? Pretty, right? "Linglong also came to the balcony.

"You see, these flowers, and these star-like lights, and the night of the city. I have to say, it's really beautiful! ”

"That's what I like most about this house, it's this big balcony. Didn't you notice that the balcony of the average house is not as big as this. You see, not only can you put down a deck chair and a small coffee table, but you can also put so many flowers. Linglong pointed to all kinds of flowers and plants.

"Did you grow all of these?"

"Of course." Linglong said proudly.

Qin Tian looked around at this balcony, it was indeed very elegant, and it had a unique flavor. On the balcony there is a chaise longue, a small coffee table, a flower stand on several floors, and countless flower baskets hanging on the walls and balcony railings.

It's winter and most of the plants aren't blooming. There is only one moon season, and it is still blooming with dazzling red flowers. The fleshy ones are different, they still maintain the shape of the flesh and the bright color, and they look particularly cute.

"These succulents are well raised!" Qin Tian exclaimed.

"Yes, succulents are hard to raise, be patient." Linglong said.

At this time, Qin Tian's eyes were attracted by the jade pendant in the corner of the balcony.

"That, why is it so big!" Qin Tian said, walked up to the jade pendant, and squatted down.

He was about to reach out to touch the green, plump and lovely little beads, when Linglong suddenly shouted loudly: "Don't move! ”

Linglong's scream came suddenly and loudly, startling Qin Tian. Even Zhao Gang in the living room was taken aback, hurried to the balcony, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"yes, what's wrong? Scared my mind! Qin Tian, who was squatting in front of the flower pot, hadn't come back to his senses yet.

"I'm sorry, it's a little louder." Linglong smiled and said embarrassedly, "This pot is Anne's." This is her favorite pot, and she has explained that she must not move it. ”

"Can't move? Can't you touch it? Qin Tian said dissatisfiedly.

"You can't touch it, you can't touch it."

"You can't even touch it?" Qin Tian looked at Linglong suspiciously.

"Yes, no one can move but herself. Once, I was kind enough to carry her up to bask in the sun, but she was almost in a hurry. ”

"What kind of flower is this? So precious? ”

"It's not a particularly precious variety, it's called a jade pendant, and it's a pretty ordinary variety in succulents."

"Then why can't you move yet?"

"I just can't move. Anne specially explained that this is her favorite, and not a single bead can be touched. Don't you see? It's got little beads on it! ”

Qin Tian squatted in front of the flower pot and looked at it carefully. Those little beads in a string look very cute indeed.

However, Qin Tian seemed to have suddenly discovered that something was wrong.

He seemed to smell a special scent. He leaned closer to his nose and sniffed hard, and there was indeed a fragrance.

"Is this variety fragrant?" Qin Tian asked puzzled.

"You smell the scent, don't you?" Linglong looked at Qin Tian with a smile and said, "That's the smell of perfume." This succulent is not scented at all. ”

"Spray perfume on the meat, why?" Qin Tian felt very strange.

"I don't know! But Anne said that she liked the meaty pot, so she wanted to make it fragrant. Linglong said.

Zhao Gang next to him always felt very strange when he heard it, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

He asked Linglong, "Didn't this flesh originally have any fragrance?" ”

"It doesn't smell like anything." Linglong said.

"So, all these perfumes were put on by Anne later?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"yes!"

"How often?"

"Basically, every day when I come back from work, I spray once."

"Is it necessary to spray once a day?" Zhao Gang asked.

"She likes it, and she says she wants the things she likes to keep smelling good."

"So, when did she buy this back?" Zhao Gang asked again.

Linglong thought for a moment and said, "It's not a few days after Double Twelve." At that time, I still laughed at her, I said that after the Double Twelve, people are wrapped in big bags and small bags to their homes, you are good, the whole pot of such a big meat goes home. ”

"Did she buy it online?" Zhao Gang asked.

"It's not. I asked her and she said she bought it at the market. ”

"Is it that big when you bought it?"

"Yes! At the time, I said I admired her. I just came back from a business trip, I was so tired that I was dying, and I still had the strength to carry such a heavy pot of flowers. ”

"Wait, you mean, she's on a business trip for the past few days? Bought this pot of flowers after returning from a business trip? Zhao Gang asked.

"yes!"

"When did she go on a business trip? How long has it been? ”

"I want to think about it...... The day she left was the day before Double Twelve. We're also talking about shopping together. I went for about four or five days! ”

"Where to go?"

"Sanya. I was so envious of her, we were wearing padded jackets here, and she was about to go to Sanya to wear short sleeves! ”

Zhao Gang listened to Linglong's words, his eyes stared at the jade pendant, and he always felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Zhao Gang walked up to the jade pendant, looked at it and said, "This looks so good, the mouth of the basin is all covered, and even the body of the basin is about to be surrounded." ”

"Otherwise, why is Anne so rare!" Linglong said.

At this time, Zhao Gang stretched out his hand and tried to push them away to expose the edge of the basin.

"What are you doing?" Linglong came over, pushed Zhao Gang's hand away, and scolded loudly.

"Oh, I just wanted to see inside." Zhao Gang seemed to be very innocent.

"How can you do that! As I said earlier, this thing must not be touched. Don't you understand? Linglong looked very angry.

"Okay, I see, I'm sorry!" Zhao Gang hurriedly apologized.

"What a person! If you do this, if Anne finds out, how will I explain it to her? Linglong said angrily, "Without the consent of others, tampering with other people's things, you are still the police." ”

"Miss Linglong, I'm sorry. We're definitely not moving! Don't be angry! Qin Tian hurriedly played a round next to him.

"If I had known, I shouldn't have let you in." Linglong said angrily, "You guys better go!" You've asked so much, there's no need to stay here anymore. ”

"I'm so sorry." Qin Tian hurriedly apologized again, "Let's leave immediately!" ”

"Okay, then we'll go. Thank you for your cooperation today. Zhao Gang said to Linglong.

"Nothing, let's go!" Linglong is still angry.

"Also, I hope you don't tell Anne about what we've been here today. We don't want any misunderstanding between you. Zhao Gang instructed again.

"I see."

"Thank you!"

After speaking, Zhao Gang and Qin Tian left.

From the time the two came down from the elevator to the time they left the door of the community, Zhao Gang did not speak.

"Brother Zhao, what are you thinking? Are you still angry? Qin Tian still couldn't help but ask Zhao Gang. After all, Linglong's angry appearance just now made everyone very embarrassed.

"Angry? What are you angry about? Zhao Gang asked.

"Just now...... Linglong's tone was a little heavier. Qin Tian tried to comfort Zhao Gang.

"You think too much, I don't care." Zhao Gang said calmly.

"So, what are you thinking?"

"Think about the case."

"What's wrong?"

"It's always a little weird."

"What's weird?"

"I can't tell. I always felt a little strange about Anne. ”

"You say, could Anne be the murderer?"

"If Anne is really the murderer, then what is her motive for killing? If the corpse in the refrigerator is Xiaomei, it can be speculated that maybe she already knows that Wang Kai gave Xiaomei 200,000 yuan, so she wants to take revenge on Xiaomei. However, the corpse in the refrigerator is not Xiaomei, so does the dead have anything to do with Anne? ”

"In any case, the body of the deceased appeared in the rental house they rented, either the deceased had a relationship with Xiaomei, or the deceased had a relationship with Anne. Or, it's related to both of them. ”

"Something to do with both of them? There is only one person who has a relationship with both of them, Wang Kai. ”

"However, the body is a woman, how can this be explained?"

"There must have been something going on that we didn't know about."

"I still think it's more likely that Xiaomei is the murderer. Otherwise, why should she abscond in fear of sin? And Anne had already moved out of that rental house, so why did she go back there to kill people? I just don't know who the deceased is, what kind of relationship does she have with Xiaomei, why did Xiaomei kill her? ”

"Check it slowly, the truth of the matter will always come out."

"However, we now know neither the identity of the deceased nor the whereabouts of Xiaomei. Where do you start? ”

"Let's start with Anne and Wang Kai and see if we can find a breakthrough from them. After all, it is only the two of them who can have anything to do with Xiaomei and the rental house now. ”

"Where to start?"

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Check the medical records of the beautiful maternity hospital." I suspect that Anne had an abortion there. ”

"What? Abortion? Qin Tian was stunned by Zhao Gang's words.

"Don't you think it's strange that those brochures weren't sent to the neighbors, they were just sent to them? There is only one possibility, they went to that hospital and left the address. Also, Linglong said that for a month after Anne moved in, Anne stewed soup every day, and they ate better than people in confinement. Girls, aren't you afraid of getting fat? Unless, that's really confinement. So, I suspect, Anne had an abortion. ”

"Even if you have an abortion, it's just a private matter! After all, people are in love, and it's normal to have an abortion. ”

"At the moment, it is not known if there is any relationship. However, Anne had told us that they were ready to get married. However, judging from Linglong's rhetoric, the relationship between Anne and Wang Kai is not good, and it has reached a very serious point. In this case, it is impossible for them to discuss the matter of marriage. Zhao Gang said.

"You mean, Anne is lying?" Qin Tian asked.

"I feel that way. I don't know why she lied, but it felt as if she was telling us that they were getting married and wanted us to stop harassing them. ”

"Is she shirking for Wang Kai?"

"I don't know what her purpose was in lying." Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "There is another thing that is very strange. ”

"What?"

"That phone call that Linglong overheard."

"You mean, the stray cat thing?" Qin Tian asked.

"What if, the story of the stray cat, is just Anne making up? And what does she mean by 'she died because of you'? Who died? Because of whom did he die? Moreover, at that time, the case had not yet been solved, how could she have known that someone had died? Zhao Gang said.

"Unless, she's the murderer herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known in advance that someone was dead. Moreover, this dead man is also related to Wang Kai. Qin Tian analyzed.

"And her business trips. Linglong said that Anne went on a business trip the day before Double Twelve. Went for four or five days. When I came back, I bought the jade pendant. This is very close to the time of death inferred by the medical examiner, is it all just a coincidence? ”

"If Anne is really the murderer, it is terrifying! The deceased was a person who had nothing to do with her. ”

"At this time, we are not able to determine the identity of the deceased. The missing Xiaomei was not found. It seems that all this can only be found from Anne. ”

"Okay, I'll go back and check the beautiful maternity hospital to see if there are any clues."

"Also, the USB flash drive and hook we found in the rental house, hurry up and send them for testing."

"Okay. I know. Qin Tian agreed.
