(a)

Before it was time to get off work, Zhao Gang came to Anne's company downstairs early to wait.

He raised his wrist again and looked at his watch. He couldn't remember how many times he had looked at his watch this afternoon.

He looked at his watch, and the hour hand immediately pointed to six o'clock.

It's almost time for Anne to get off work.

He pulled himself together again, staring intently at the entrance and exit of the company's gate. Just in case Anne came out, he didn't see it.

About ten minutes later, Anne came out of the office gate.

"Hey, Annie!" Zhao Gang immediately stepped forward and blocked Anne's way.

Anne was startled by the sudden appearance in front of her.

When she came back to her senses, it was Zhao Gang.

"Why are you, Officer Zhao, you scared me." Although Anne was dissatisfied, she still smiled and said to Zhao Gang.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Zhao Gang apologized.

"What's the matter with me?"

"You know, it's still about that case."

The smile on Anne's face vanished, and she visibly became impatient. She said, "I have told you all that I know." I don't know what you ask. ”

"There are still some situations that we would like to know more about.

"This case really has nothing to do with us. I've already moved out. I really don't know how to get into this mess. Anne began to grumble.

"Otherwise, let's find a place to talk again!"

"There's really nothing more to say."

"This is a criminal case, and we hope you will cooperate with us." Zhao Gang's expression showed a sense of seriousness.

Anne looked at Zhao Gang's face, his face was not good-looking. Anne wanted to say something, but she didn't.

"Let's go to the café across the street, I think it's not bad there." Zhao Gang said again.

Anne looked at Zhao Gang, and although she was reluctant, she still had to agree to go to the café.

When the two of them came to the café, they sat down in their old seats.

As usual, Anne ordered a cup of coffee, and Zhao Gang ordered a cup of tea.

"Officer Zhao, let me say it again, I really don't know what's going on in that case. If there's anything else you'd like to ask, today, you'll be able to do it all at once! Anne said impatiently.

"I know it's a hassle to come to you like this. However, there are some things that I need you to confirm. ”

"Need my confirmation? I don't know Xiaomei well. I don't know how she died. ”

Zhao Gang looked at Anne and said, "These questions are about you. ”

"About me? What questions can I have? Anne looked disapproving.

"Excuse me, where were you during Double 12 last year?"

"I don't remember what happened last year!"

"Last year's Double 12, that is, only a month ago."

Anne thought for a moment and said, "At that time, I was on a business trip. ”

"When did you go, where did you go, and how long did you go?"

"I went the day before Double 12. Go to Sanya. Went for five days. Came back on Sunday. ”

"Remember that clearly?"

"Is it strange to remember clearly? I went to work on Monday to report to the company. ”

"Think about it, are you mistaken?" Zhao Gang looked at Anne and said.

"What do you mean?" There was a subtle change in Annie's expression, "You don't believe what I said?" Then you can go to the company to verify! ”

"We've already checked with your company. You're right. ”

Anne smiled casually.

"However, we also found out that you had already flown back on the thirteenth. How can this be explained? Zhao Gang said again.

Anne's smile was gone, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.

She lowered her head and took a sip of coffee, then looked up and said, "Because something happened to the client's house, he canceled the meeting temporarily." I came back early. ”

"Since the meeting has been cancelled, why don't you report it to the company?"

"Before, I wanted to spend a few days in Sanya. My client also said he wouldn't tell the company about it and let me have a few days there. So, I didn't say anything. ”

"Then why did you come back early?"

"Because I want to go and see Wang Kai. I want to take advantage of this rare two days to accompany him! ”

"However, those two days are weekends, and even if the company knows that you come back early, you can still enjoy the weekend vacation, and it doesn't matter."

"I said it because my client in Sanya agreed to help me hide the news that I came back early, and I didn't think about the weekend at that time, so I didn't care."

"Then why did you lie when I asked you just now?"

Anne glanced at Zhao Gang and said, "I lied because I didn't want the company to know." If the company knows that I came back early and didn't report it, and I also reimbursed the airfare and hotel accommodation expenses during the period, then my job may not be saved. Is this difficult to understand? ”

"Understandable." Zhao Gang said, "Then where did you go after you came back?" ”

"When I came back, I suddenly remembered that there were two pots of flowers in my previous rental house that I had forgotten to move. So, I made an appointment with Wang Kai and went with me to move the flowers. ”

"You moved the flowers back to where you lived?" Zhao Gang asked tentatively.

"No, the flowers were placed in Wang Kai's dormitory. Because I thought that there were already a lot of flowers on my balcony, and he had an empty place, so I put the flowers there for him. ”

"Are you going to move flowers into the community together?"

"It's not. He arrived first. He was waiting for me on the stairs. I arrived a little later than him. ”

"Was Xiaomei at home when you went?"

"I don't know. Her door was closed. ”

"What did you do when you got back?"

"Moving flowers and cleaning."

"Cleaning?"

"Because the room was full of dust, we cleaned it up."

"Can you tell us more about the details?"

"What details?"

"The details of cleaning."

"What's there to say about that?"

"For example, where did you all clean, where did you clean first, where you cleaned later, what did you both do. Be as detailed as possible. ”

"Officer, are you suspicious of us?"

"We're just investigating. Hopefully, you can give us as much detail as possible. ”

"It's really strange for you police to investigate the case. Even other people's cleaning should be asked so clearly. ”

"Is there anything you can't say about this?"

"What's not to say about that?" Anne said with a smile.

"Okay, let's talk about it!"

"After we went that day, we opened the door to my room and felt a musty smell inside. So, I opened the window for ventilation. As a result, it was found that the windowsill was covered with leaves. I'll just say clean up. Later we found out that the living room was also dirty, and the coffee table was full of dust. We cleaned up together......"

Anne then recounted the process of cleaning the house in detail.

"After cleaning, you left?"

"After cleaning, we moved the flowers and left. Then, he moved the flowers to where Wang Kai lived. ”

"And then? Are you going home? ”

"Nope. Originally, I came back to be with Wang Kai. So I didn't go home. ”

"Where have you been?"

"Hotel."

"Which hotel? When did you go? When did you leave? ”

"Star Hotel. I went there on the afternoon of the 13th, and left at noon on the 15th. ”

"Where else did you go along the way?"

"Didn't go anywhere. We stayed in the hotel and didn't come out. ”

"Haven't come out? Don't you have to go out to eat? ”

"We prepared a lot of food before we went. So, just have a snack in your room and watch TV. ”

Zhao Gang let out an "oh", picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea.

"How is your relationship with Wang Kai now?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"I remember you asked this question last time, I already told you, we have a good relationship."

"I remember you saying that you have a good relationship. However, I feel that he is not good to you. ”

"Feelings?" Anne smiled, "Officer Zhao, how can you feel if he treats me well?" Isn't that something that only I can feel? With that, Anne laughed again.

"If he was good to you, why didn't he accompany you when you went for an abortion?" Zhao Gang looked at Anne, and there was an incredible look in his eyes.

"What do you say? ......" When Anne heard this, her face, which was still smiling just now, instantly pulled down, extremely ugly.

"Have you ever had an abortion at the Good Maternity Hospital?" Zhao Gang asked again.

Anne lowered her head, her hands clasping the coffee cup on the table.

Her head was racing, and no one knew about it except herself. How would the police know? What did they find?

Anne couldn't help but think about it.

"Annie!" Zhao Gang called her again.

Anne came to her senses, picked up the coffee cup she was holding, and took a sip.

Zhao Gang found that Anne's face was ugly.

"Are you alright?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I'm fine." Anne replied. With that, she turned her head out the window.

"That question ...... just now"

"Didn't you find it all? And come and ask me what to do! Anne's voice was desolate.

"I just think it's strange, since you and Wang Kai have a good relationship, why would he agree to you to abort this child?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Young people, it's normal to get pregnant unexpectedly, and it's not a big deal to have an abortion." Anne said coldly.

"But, you have polycystic ** syndrome. If the child is aborted, it will be difficult to get pregnant again in the future. Are you willing to do it? Zhao Gang asked again.

Anne didn't speak, she lowered her head. You can see that she is very sad.

"Why didn't Wang Kai accompany you to the operation?" Zhao Gang asked again.

Anne still didn't answer.

After a while, Zhao Gang said again: "Wang Kai is very irresponsible in doing this. Can't he think about your body? Has he ever thought that this child is gone, and if you can't get pregnant again in the future, what will you do? ”

Anne remained silent.

"Isn't there something wrong with your relationship?" Zhao Gang asked again.

Anne looked up and said, "Our relationship is good, there is no problem. ”

"So, why didn't he accompany you to the surgery? Why would he agree with you to get rid of this child? Zhao Gang asked again.

Anne still didn't answer.

"Okay, since you don't want to answer, then I have to ask Wang Kai." Zhao Gang said.

"Don't ask him." Anne said suddenly.

"Why?"

Anne said softly, "No why, just don't ask him." ”

"He's so inconsiderate of your body, do you still want to defend him?" Zhao Gang asked.

Anne was silent for a moment and said, "He didn't know about it. Don't blame him. ”

"Don't know?" Zhao Gang said he was surprised, "He doesn't know about your pregnancy?" ”

"Yes."

"Do you have any problems?" Zhao Gang asked again.

Anne took a sip of her coffee and didn't speak.

"The child is not Wang Kai's, is it?" Zhao Gang asked.

Anne raised her head and looked at Zhao Gang and said, "This is my private life, don't you ask again, okay?" ”

"You're out there, right? Therefore, your relationship with Wang Kai is not good. Zhao Gang said.

"It's not what you think." There was a cry in Anne's voice.

"What's that?"

"I don't want to say it."

"I hope you don't hide it. We have to figure out all the issues related to the case. ”

"What does this have to do with the case?"

"You and Wang Kai are the two people most directly related to Xiaomei."

"What does this have to do with our feelings?"

"It matters."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know about Wang Kai and Xiaomei?"

Anne was stunned for a moment and said, "What happened to them?" ”

"They have always had an improper relationship between men and women. Don't you know? ”

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can it be! Anne looked incredulous.

"I'm not talking nonsense. Wang Kai has already admitted it himself. ”

"What did you say?" Anne suddenly became excited, "How is this possible?" How could the two of them? ……”

"Do you really not know?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I don't know. You say this because Xiaomei is dead, and there is no proof of death, you want to wronged Wang Kai, right? Want to stir up a wedge between the two of us? ”

"Why should I stir up a relationship between you?"

"I don't know what your purpose is."

"Wang Kai said that his father needed to spend 200,000 yuan for surgery, you said before, you know about it. But, do you know where this money goes? ”

"Where did you go?"

"Give it to Xiaomei."

"Give Xiaomei? …… It's a joke. Wang Kai is not familiar with her, how could he give her 200,000? ”

"I just said that. The two of them have been in an improper relationship between men and women. ”

"Then Wang Kai doesn't need to give her 200,000!"

"There are other reasons for this."

"What is the reason?"

"I can't tell you just yet."

"What do you mean? You don't say it in the middle of your sentence? ”

"Didn't you just stop talking about it?"

"It's different. That was my personal business just now. ”

"This is also Wang Kai's privacy."

"Tell me quickly, why did Wang Kai give her 200,000? I've never figured it out. ”

Anne said, excited enough to get up from her seat.

This is a question she has always wanted to know the answer to. However, until now, she still did not know the answer. Obviously, the policeman in front of him knows the answer.

"You sit down first and calm down." Zhao Gang stood up, pressed down Annie who stood up, and asked her to sit well.

"Tell me, why did he give her 200,000? Wang Kai is not an irrational person. Even if Xiaomei was his lover, he couldn't just give her 200,000. ”

"You just said that you slipped out." Zhao Gang reminded.

"What?" An uneasy look crossed Anne's face.

"You just said, 'Why did Wang Kai give her 200,000? I've never figured it out. Actually, you've known about it for a long time, haven't you? ”

"What you're talking about, I don't understand." Anne turned her head to the side.

"It's okay if you don't understand, but I do. You said that you haven't been able to figure it out, which means that you have long known that Wang Kai gave Xiaomei 200,000 yuan. has long known about the improper relationship between the two of them. It's just that you don't know why he gave her 200,000. That's why you were so excited to get an answer from me. ”

"I don't understand your speculation."

"So, in fact, the relationship between you and Wang Kai is not good. You're lying when you tell us you're in a good relationship. ”

"Why should I lie? What does it have to do with you whether our relationship is good or not? ”

"You're lying to cover up. You know the relationship between Wang Kai and Xiaomei, and know that Wang Kai gave her 200,000. So, if you want to get revenge on her, kill her. ”

"Your imagination really can. Don't you think it's too far-fetched to say that? ”

"You are actually mentally prepared to have a fight with Wang Kai. Because there's already someone out there. You want Wang Kai to be empty. ”

"I said, I don't have anyone outside. Don't insult me. ”

"What about the kids? Who is the child? ”

"I don't want to say it. Don't ask......" Anne began to get irritated again.

"If there is no one outside, then the child is Wang Kai's. However, on the premise of not informing Wang Kai, and at the risk of not being able to get pregnant in the future, you also want to kill the child. It can be seen how much you hate this child and Wang Kai! You beat the child because you were extremely disappointed in Wang Kai, and you are taking revenge on him! ”

"That's not the case......" Anne shook her head in a shudder.

"A person who can be so cruel to his own flesh and blood, you say that you have no revenge and did not kill Xiaomei, who believes it?" Zhao Gang's tone became more and more urgent.

"No......" Annie's voice began to sob.

"You can even do your own flesh and blood, he may be the only child in your life, how can you bear it! You can see how vicious your heart is. There is nothing that a person who is so vicious can do. Zhao Gang asked step by step, not leaving Anne a little room to retreat.

"Am I vicious? Am I cruel? Do you think I want to? Do you know how much pain my heart hurt at that time? Anne cried.

"Your heart hurts? Your heart is full of hatred, you only think about revenge, where can you take care of your children? ”

"You're not a woman, and you won't understand my pain at the time. I knew that I might never be able to get pregnant again in the future, but I couldn't keep the child. My heart hurts more than a knife! ”

"Hypocritical woman. You do the surgery yourself, not someone else tied you up to do it. If you really feel sorry for your child, why do you have to go for surgery? ”

"I can't leave him ......," Anne cried, her voice trembling.

"Why? This isn't Wang Kai's child, right? ”

Anne nodded slightly.

"Whose the hell is that kid?"

"I don't know." Anne cried.

"What do you mean?" Zhao Gang was stunned when he heard Annie's words.

"I was raped...... The child is that person. That's why I'm determined to get rid of this child......" Anne couldn't stop crying.

"What do you say? ......" Zhao Gang couldn't believe his ears. Annie's words really surprised him.

"Are you satisfied?" Anne looked at Zhao Gang crying, her face full of tears.

"Who's that man?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I don't know."

"Did you call the police?"

"Nope."

"Why didn't you call the police?"

"It was dark that night, and I didn't see anything. I don't know anything about that person's height, weight, or appearance. There was also no surveillance on that stretch of the road. It's useless to call the police, you can't catch him. ”

"You just call the police, and the police will find a way to solve the case. Whether you can catch it or not, it's not you who have the final say, it's the police who have the final say. ”

"What if you can't solve the case? Isn't my reputation ruined? Wang Kai knows, what will he think of me? I knew that there was little hope of solving the case, and after careful consideration, I decided not to report it. ”

"So, if you don't report the case, do you want to lose Wang Kai?"

"Yes. However, what I didn't expect was that this time, I was actually pregnant. But I can't keep this child. Knowing that I might not be able to get pregnant again in the future, I had to kill the baby. You say, 'Does my heart ache?' If you were me, what would you do? You can't relate to my pain at all. Anne cried.

"I'm sorry. I know you're sad. ”

"What's the use of saying this, it's all in the past."

"When did that happen?" Zhao Gang asked, "You tell me in detail the time, place, and what happened before and after." I'll file a case for you. ”

"No need. It's been so long that I've forgotten. ”

"Are you just letting that illegitimate go unpunished? Are you willing? ”

"What if you are unwilling? The case has been filed, can you catch him? ”

"The police will look into it. What if you catch it? Then he must be punished as he deserves. Don't you want to bring him to justice? Don't want to give yourself an explanation? ”

"What can I do! But what if you can't catch it? Then my reputation was ruined. I don't want my relationship with Wang Kai to be extraneous again. ”

"Rest assured, we will protect the privacy of the victims. Wang Kai won't know about this matter. ”

Anne picked up her cup and took another sip of her coffee.

She was hesitant.

"You don't have to think about it anymore, and you don't have to hesitate anymore. You think about yourself, think about that innocent child. You deserve justice for you! ”

Anne thought for a long time. Then, she put the cup down and said, "Okay." ”

"That dark night, I will never forget. It was September 15th......"

……

Anne spoke slowly, telling Zhao Gang everything that happened that night. Her voice was low, and she could tell she was sad.

It was as if she had fallen into that dark night, unable to extricate herself.

After speaking, she drank the rest of her coffee in one go.

"And then?" Zhao Gang asked.

"I decided not to call the police and went home on my own. Later, it was as if it hadn't happened. ”

"Okay, don't worry, we won't tell Wang Kai about this matter."

"Thank you!"

Anne was silent for a moment, then looked up. Her eyes were red, and her face looked particularly sad.

"You, are you alright?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Nothing. If it's okay, I'd like to go back and rest first! Anne said.

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Okay! Need me to send you? ”

"No, I can do it alone." With that, Anne got up and left.

Watching Anne walk out of the café, Zhao Gang felt a trace of indescribable feelings in his heart.

He sighed softly.

Then, putting on his gloves, he carefully put the cup and spoon that Anne had drunk into the bag he had carried.

Then, he walked to the cash register.

(b)

It was also six o'clock in the afternoon, and Qin Tian was already waiting downstairs in Wang Kai's company.

When Wang Kai came out of the company, Qin Tian quickly stepped forward and stopped him. "Wang Kai, please wait a minute!"

Wang Kai heard someone calling him, looked back, and saw Qin Tian.

"You're the cop?" Wang Kai asked.

"You have a good memory. We've met. My name is Qin Tian. ”

"Oh, Officer Qin. Can I help you? ”

"There are still some things I want you to know about that case."

"Haven't you all asked the question?" Qin Tian began to show a displeased expression on his face.

"There are still some questions that we want to verify."

"I'm busy and don't have much time." With that, Wang Kai wanted to leave.

Qin Tian suddenly stood in front of him. "Just ask a few questions and it won't delay you too long. Hope you cooperate! ”

Wang Kai looked at Qin Tian's expression, very resolute. Wang Kai thought, it seems that if you don't talk to him today, you won't be able to leave.

"If you have any questions, just ask!" Wang Kai said impatiently.

"Let's go find a place to sit for a while!"

"Is it okay to say no right here?" Wang Kai was very displeased.

"This place, do you think it's appropriate? After all, this is the door of your company, so there should be someone who knows you, right? Of course, if you think it's appropriate, then I'm fine. ”

Wang Kai thought for a while and said, "Let's go to the teahouse last time!" ”

"Yes." Qin Tian replied.

After saying that, the two went to the teahouse where they had last met.

The two came to the teahouse and found the most hidden place to sit down.

The waiter came to the two and asked, "What kind of tea do you two drink?" ”

"I want a cup of vegetarian tea, thank you!" Wang Kai said to the waiter.

At this time, Qin Tian hurriedly said, "I heard that their bamboo leaf green tea is good. Just drink bamboo leaf green, I'm in for a treat! ”

Wang Kai glanced at Qin Tian and said, "Then whatever!" ”

So, Qin Tian said to the waiter: "Two cups of bamboo leaf green!" ”

"Okay, please wait." The waiter replied.

Soon, two cups of bamboo leaf green were served on the table.

The tender green tea leaves stand upright in the transparent glass, and it looks particularly classy.

As soon as the tea was served on the table, Qin Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Tell me what you want! I'm really busy. As soon as he sat down, Wang Kai began to urge.

"Okay, then let's get straight to the point. Excuse me, did you go to the rental house where Anne and Xiaomei rented on December 13 last year? Qin Tian asked.

"Last year? It's been too long to remember. Wang Kai said casually.

"It's only been a month." Qin Tian said, "Let me remind you, it's after Anne came back from a business trip in Sanya. ”

Wang Kai thought for a moment and said, "After she came back, we did go to the previous house. ”

"What are you going to do?"

"Go help Anne carry her things."

"What's that?"

"She forgot to take two pots of flowers with her, so I asked her to help her carry them."

"Where's the flower?"

"The flowers were placed in my dorm. Anne said that there were already a lot of flowers in her newly rented house, so she asked me to keep these two pots. ”

"Oh," Qin Tian thought for a moment and asked again, "Are the stray cats in the community still there?" ”

Wang Kai was stunned for a moment, "What stray cat?" ”

"I heard that there is a stray cat in that community, have you ever seen it?"

Wang Kai said impatiently: "What a mess, I haven't seen it." ”

"Haven't seen it? Is it dead? Qin Tian asked in surprise.

"How do I know! Can you ask some normal questions? Wang Kai felt that Qin Tian was simply inexplicable.

"Oh, forget it if you haven't seen it. When I went to your community to investigate, I saw it once! Qin Tian said.

"Boring." Wang Kai glared at Qin Tian.

"So, continue with the question! Where did you go after you put the flowers away? ”

"Went to the hotel."

"What hotel, what place, when to go, when to go. Let's be more detailed. ”

"Officer, are you checking your household registration? Our visit to the hotel is our personal privacy. ”

"The case needs it, please cooperate with me. Besides, if there is no problem, what can't be said? ”

"What do you mean? Are you suspicious of us? ”

"So, in order to prove your innocence, you have to make the situation clear."

Wang Kai glanced at Qin Tian and said, "Star Hotel." We put the flowers and went. The fifteenth left. ”

"During this time, did you stay in the hotel and didn't come out?"

"Nope."

"And how do you eat?"

"We bought snacks when we went. Then, I stayed in my room and watched TV. ”

"When you went to carry flowers, did you go together?"

"We made an appointment. But I arrived first, so I went first. Anne arrived later than I did. ”

"You don't have the keys to the house. How do you get into the house when you get there first? ”

"I didn't go in. I sat on the stairs waiting for her. ”

"Was Xiaomei at home when you went?"

"I don't know. Her door was closed. We didn't know if she was in the house or not. ”

"How long have you been back?"

"Didn't stay long. We went back and saw that the windows were covered with fallen leaves, so we cleaned them up. There was a lot of dust in the living room and kitchen, and we cleaned it up by the way. After finishing it, we moved the flowers and left. ”

"Anne doesn't live there anymore, do you still need to clean it?"

"Anne is a cleanliness person, and when she saw the house full of dust, she wanted to clean it up. She said that after all, the house has not expired, and if it is too dirty, it will be difficult to check out in the future. ”

"Can you be specific? What did you do to clean up? ”

"It's sweeping, mopping, plastering, and so on."

"Can you be more specific? For example, what was done first, what was done later, who did it, and so on. ”

"It's really strange for you police to ask questions. What is there to say about cleaning, who remembers it after so long. ”

"Try to recall and be precise."

"Alright! Anne swept the floor first, I was responsible for mopping, and she was responsible for wiping down the coffee table and table. ”

"Do you clean the fallen leaves first, or do you clean them first?"

"Clean up the fallen leaves first. Then Anne's room was cleaned, and finally the living room and kitchen were cleaned. ”

Then, Qin Tian asked some more details, and Wang Kai answered all of them clearly.

Qin Tian thought for a while, and then asked, "At that time, did Anne know about you and Xiaomei?" ”

"I don't know."

"And now? Does she know? ”

"I guess I still don't know!"

"Have you ever been to Xiaomei since that day?"

"Been there twice. She didn't see me, though. ”

"Did she say she didn't want to see you?"

"It's not. It was I who knocked on the door, and no one answered, and no one opened the door. ”

"When did you go?"

"I don't remember exactly."

"Approximate time? How long has it been since you moved the flowers? ”

"I went once in about two or three days! Then went again a few days later. ”

"Don't you think it's strange that no one opened the door for you?"

"There's nothing strange about that. Sometimes, she doesn't want to see me and won't open the door for me. ”

"Then when you went before, if she didn't want to open the door, would she tell you inside?"

"Yes. If she doesn't want to open the door, she'll call me back at the door. ”

"Then the two times you went, no one opened the door and no one answered, didn't you?"

"Yes."

"What do you think? Don't you think it's weird? ”

"What's the matter, it's that she doesn't want to see me!"

"And then you haven't been there again?"

"Since I didn't see her on those two trips, I've wondered if she doesn't want to see me anymore. I also thought about it for a while, this kind of relationship is not a long-term healthy relationship after all. Maybe that's it, and then slowly forget about it. So, I didn't go any further. ”

"What is the state of your relationship with Anne now?"

"What state? That's it! ”

"That's it, right? What is it? ”

"It's just, tepid!"

"You mean, there's something wrong with your relationship?"

"I didn't say there was a problem with our relationship. I mean our relationship is stable now, it's just more flat, and we don't have the passion we had at the beginning. In fact, this should be the daily state of many couples, after all, after being together for a long time, the relationship will slowly become dull. ”

"So, do you still want to go on with Anne?"

"After experiencing Xiaomei's incident, I don't want to cause those messy things anymore. I've figured it out too, plain is true. ”

"Are you going to get married, are you going to have children?"

"Of course."

"Do you like kids?"

"I like it!"

"When are you going to have a baby?"

"This, there is no preparation. Go with the flow! ”

"So, if Anne is pregnant, even if she is not married, you still want her to give birth to the child, right?"

"Of course. If she is really pregnant, then we can go and get married right away. ”

"Then, I wish you a noble son soon!"

"Thank you, borrow your auspicious words."

Afterwards, Qin Tian picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

He found that the cup of tea in front of Wang Kai had not been touched.

So, Qin Tian took a sip of tea, showed a satisfied expression, and exclaimed: "Well, their bamboo leaf green here really lives up to its reputation, and it is delicious." Seeing that Wang Kai still didn't move, he continued, "Won't you taste it?" It's really delicious. Believe me. ”

So, Wang Kai picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip gently.

"How?" Qin Tian asked.

"Well, it's not bad." Wang Kai replied.

"It's not bad, just take two more sips. I've been talking for so long, moisten my throat. ”

After speaking, Qin Tian began to pick up the teacup and drink it again.

Seeing this, Wang Kai also began to hold the teacup and took a few sips.

Then, Wang Kai said, "That...... Officer, is there anything else you want to ask? If not, then I'll go back first. ”

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, "Not for the time being." Thank you today. ”

"Okay, then I'll go." After speaking, Wang Kai stood up and walked to the door.

Qin Tian watched Wang Kai walk out of the teahouse. turned around, carefully put the cup that Wang Kai had drunk into the evidence bag he carried, and then walked towards the cash register.

In the office of the Public Security Bureau, Zhao Gang and Qin Tian were checking the contents of their conversations with Anne and Wang Kai.

Both of them recounted the conversation separately.

They found that what the two said was basically the same, and there was nothing to doubt about it.

"Even the details were accurate. It seems that there is nothing wrong with it! Qin Tian said.

"These things they say, they should be true. Otherwise, it would not be possible to even tell the details so flawlessly. Zhao Gang said.

"Then it seems that the murderer should not be them! In such a short time, cleaning is enough to choke. How can I have time to kill people, I have to divide the body, and I have to clean the scene. In such a short time, it is impossible to complete it! Qin Tian said.

"You just said that Wang Kai doesn't know about stray cats?" Zhao Gang thought it was strange.

"Yes! I asked him about stray cats, and he reacted strangely, he didn't know anything about stray cats. ”

"So, Anne is lying."

"So, what does Anne mean by 'die because of you'? Who died? Qin Tian said, an incredible expression appeared, "Could it be that they are talking about the corpse in the house?" ”

"If that's the case, then they must be murderers. Otherwise, they wouldn't have known that someone had died. ”

"However, there is no flaw in what they say!"

"Anyway, let's check first to see if they're lying."

"Where can I find out?"

"You said that Wang Kai said that after that day, he also went to Xiaomei twice, right?"

"Yes. It's just that he didn't see Xiaomei. ”

"Then go check the surveillance and see if he actually been. If he really went twice, it means that he shouldn't know about Xiaomei's disappearance, and he shouldn't know about the corpse. ”

"Okay. If he really went, he could basically be ruled out. ”

"Also, check the surveillance on the night of September 15th. Anne had said she had been raped that night. Check the surveillance to see if she's saying the right amount of time. ”

"Okay."

"Now you go to the Star Hotel first and call up the surveillance there. I sent the two cups to the Forensics Division for examination. I'll be joined by you later. ”

As soon as Zhao finished speaking, he walked out of the office with the two cups.

He didn't know if they would be able to get any useful clues this time.

After Zhao Gang sent the cup to the Physical Evidence Department, he went to check the surveillance at the entrance of the community with Qin Tian.

It didn't take long for them to find Wang Kai in the video a few days after moving the flowers.

"Brother Zhao, it's Wang Kai. On December 17, he went once. However, it came out in ten minutes. I shouldn't have seen Xiaomei. Qin Tian said.

"Keep looking back. See if he hasn't been there again. Zhao Gang said.

According to the approximate time described by Wang Kai, Qin Tian once again saw Wang Kai's figure in the surveillance video.

"There it is! On the twentieth, Wang Kai went there again. It was still only about ten minutes before it came out. Qin Tian pointed to the screen of the surveillance video and said to Zhao Gang.

Then, Qin Tian intercepted these two videos.

Zhao Gang took a closer look, and the two figures in the picture were indeed Wang Kai.

It seems that Wang Kai is not lying. He did go to find Xiaomei twice. That shows that this case may really have nothing to do with him! Qin Tian said.

"Save these two paragraphs first. Look again at the paragraph about Anne. Zhao Gang said.

So, Qin Tian tuned the video to the evening of September 15 again.

Soon, they found Anne in the video at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night.

Anne is seen with her hair draped, almost completely obscuring her face. However, from her half-concealed face, it was still obvious that this person was Annie.

At this time, Anne seemed to be in a depressed mood. Her hands were tightly wrapped around her clothes. Looks like a wounded kitten.

"Brother Zhao, it's indeed Annie. The timing is right. When I got home at this time, I should have been delayed on the road for a while after getting off the bus. Moreover, looking at her state, it was very much in line with her mood at that time. Qin Tian said.

"It seems that that child is really not Wang Kai's." Zhao Gang said.

"Didn't we already know that the child was not Wang Kai's? It's just that we thought she had someone out there. As a result, she didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”

"Hey, I was raped and I was pregnant with someone else's child. The key is that I will probably not be able to get pregnant again in the future. You say, "Whoever bears this is it!" ”

"yes, I can't even accept it as a man. Anne's encounter is really sympathetic! ”

"You say, what if it were you? This child, do you want it or don't you want it? So, none of us can understand Anne's pain at that time. ”

"Hey, what a sin!"

While the two were discussing what happened to Anne, the surveillance video continued to play.

Zhao Gang glanced at it, and suddenly, he seemed to find a familiar figure flashing from the surveillance video.

"Stop, stop." Zhao Gang pointed to the video and hurriedly stopped Qin Tian.

Qin Tian hurriedly pressed the pause button and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Rewind." Zhao Gang said.

"Oh." Qin Tian rewound the video bit by bit.

"Okay, stop!" Zhao Gang shouted.

At this time, the two saw that it was Wang Kai, who appeared in the surveillance video.

"Fall back a little further." Zhao Gang said.

Qin Tian poured the video backwards again. It can be clearly seen that Wang Kai came out of the community.

"Look at the time." Zhao Gang said.

The two looked at it, and the time was half past twelve in the night.

"Was it the day Anne was raped?" Zhao Gang asked.

"Yes. Half an hour after Anne entered, Wang Kai appeared. Qin Tian said.

He flipped the surveillance video backwards again, and saw the video of Anne entering the community just now.

"What's going on?" Qin Tian asked.

"No, how could Wang Kai appear here?" A puzzled expression appeared on Zhao Gang's face, "Anne said that that night, she was supposed to work overtime and stay up all night, and besides, she told Wang Kai. Wang Kai shouldn't be here! There is only one possibility for him to appear here. Zhao Gang said.

"That is, Wang Kai is looking for Xiaomei. Because he knew that Anne was working overtime and all night, he thought that Anne would not come back, so he went to find Xiaomei. Qin Tian said.

"That's right. However, judging from the video, Wang Kai came out after Anne went home. Then," Zhao Gang looked at Qin Tian and said, "Anne probably found out about Wang Kai and Xiaomei that night. ”

"Oh my God! It's incredible, isn't that worse for her? Qin Tian sighed.

"If, she really found out about Wang Kai's betrayal of her that night. It's hard to imagine what kind of pain she was suffering! ”

"I was raped one second, and I found out that my boyfriend was cheating the next second. It's a bolt from the blue! Qin Tian sighed, and then he said, "Didn't she arrest Wang Kai?" ”

"Probably not. Otherwise, it would be impossible for Wang Kai to go to Xiaomei again and again. Explanation, he didn't know that Anne had found out about them. ”

"Why didn't Anne expose them on the spot? If it had been me, it would have erupted. The more Qin Tian spoke, the more angry he became.

"Anne's mood at that time, she probably didn't have the energy, she didn't have the mood to deal with it. Or maybe she's been disappointed. It can even be said that life is better than death, heartbroken. We can't understand what she went through now. ”

"Is it possible that Anne didn't find out at the time?"

"I don't rule it out. If Wang Kai and Xiaomei heard the sound of Anne opening the door, then it was very likely that they were hiding quietly in the room, so it is possible that Anne did not find out. ”

But Anne said she didn't know! What if she doesn't admit it? ”

"However, when I was talking to her, she accidentally slipped out. Although she never admitted it, I felt that she should know. ”

"So how do you know it?"

"After the first time I found out that my boyfriend was cheating, there was no debunking and no squeaking. Maybe it was because she wasn't in the mood to deal with it at the time, or she wasn't sure if Wang Kai was really cheating. If that's the case, she should be looking for another chance to reconfirm. ”

"Are you saying that Anne will arrest Wang Kai and Xiaomei again?"

"Not sure." Zhao Gang thought for a while and said, "Go and extract all the videos of Wang Kai and Anne that appeared after that day, and watch them slowly one by one." There are always clues to be found. ”

"I see. If Wang Kai entered the community alone, and then Anne followed, it is very likely that Anne went to catch the rapist. ”

"Let's take a look first!"

"Okay, I'm going to extract all the videos of the two of them appearing now." Qin Tian agreed.

"By the way, last time you were asked to check the surveillance video of the Star Hotel, did you check it?" Zhao Gang asked again.

"I checked it, I looked at it, and there was no problem. They did check in on the afternoon of the 13th and leave on the morning of the 15th. The surveillance in the lobby is very clear. Qin Tian said.

"Didn't they leave halfway through?"

"I haven't seen them leave."

"Okay, I got it." Zhao Gang said, "You go and extract the monitoring at the entrance of the community first!" ”

"Okay, I'll go now."

With that, Qin Tian left the office.

Zhao Gang sat down at his desk, leaned his head back in his chair, and began to recuperate. This case looks confusing and makes Zhao Gang feel a headache.

(iv)

Soon, Qin Tian sorted out all the videos of Wang Kai and Anne appearing at the entrance of the community.

The two of them began to sit in front of the computer, following the timeline, slowly looking backwards.

Suddenly, a picture appeared. I saw that in the surveillance video, Anne carried a suitcase and walked out of the community with Wang Kai.

"I'm still carrying a suitcase, it looks like I'm going on a business trip!" Zhao Gang said.

"It should be. Didn't Anne say that she often had to travel for business! Qin Tian said.

The two of them continued to look down.

However, in the next picture where Anne appeared, she did not carry a suitcase.

"Pause!" Zhao Gang said to Qin Tian.

Qin Tian hurriedly pressed the pause button.

"Go back to the picture of Anne pulling her suitcase." Zhao Gang said.

Qin Tian reversed the video backwards and froze on the scene where Annie appeared with her suitcase.

"What's wrong?" Qin Tian asked.

"I'll look at the time." Zhao Gang said.

Zhao Gang looked at the time on the surveillance video, seven o'clock in the morning on September 25.

"Okay, let's move on to the next video where Anne appears." Zhao Gang said.

Qin Tian fast-forwarded the video to the next video where Anne appeared.

"Fall back a little." Zhao Gang said.

Qin Tian poured the video back a little.

At this time, they saw that Wang Kai also appeared in the video. The time was ten minutes before Anne went in.

"Brother Zhao, it's Wang Kai. He went in first before Anne. Ten minutes after he entered, Anne entered. Qin Tian said.

"I know. You see, why didn't Anne pull the suitcase this time? Where's her box? ”

"That's right, in the last video, she went out with a suitcase! Why didn't she pull the box when she came back this time? ”

"Look at the date."

"Seven o'clock in the evening of the fifteenth."

"Leaving in the morning and returning in the evening is not scientific. If you travel for such a short period of time, you don't need to bring a suitcase at all. ”

"Are you suspicious?"

"Let's take a look later." Zhao Gang said.

So, the two continued to watch the video.

They found that Anne came out about ten minutes after she went in. And Wang Kai came out of the community more than an hour after Anne left.

"They didn't come out together. Anne went in and came out. Wang Kai went in and stayed for more than an hour before coming out. Qin Tian said.

"If I'm not mistaken, Anne should have followed Wang Kai in." Zhao Gang said.

"Is she going to confirm whether Wang Kai is cheating?"

"It should be." Zhao Gang paused for a moment and said, "Look back." ”

Looking back, Anne reappeared, and it was the next night. She pulled a suitcase into the compound.

"What's going on? She ran back in the middle of a business trip to catch the rapist? Qin Tian asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, she didn't travel at all. The so-called business trip was just for Wang Kai to see, so that he could let down his guard. Zhao Gang said.

"If that's the case, then this woman's mind is too fine!" Qin Tian sighed.

"Ask them if Anne was on a business trip that day." Zhao Gang said.

"Good. I have their company's phone number, check it right away. Qin Tian said.

After speaking, Qin Tian picked up the phone on the table and dialed the phone number of Anne's company.

The call was quickly connected.

"Hello, I'm a police officer from the Qinghe Public Security Bureau. Could you please help me check whether Anne had any business trip records from September 25th to 26th last year? Qin Tian said into the phone.

"Okay officer, please wait." Answered on the phone.

"Okay, I'm sorry for you."

Qin Tian didn't hang up the phone, he was waiting for the result on the phone.

Soon, a voice came from the phone.

"Hello officer."

"Well, I'm in. What is the result? ”

"I just looked it up. Anne didn't go on a business trip for those two days, and she commuted to and from work normally. ”

"Okay, I got it. Thank you! ”

"You're welcome." The other party responded.

After finishing speaking, Qin Tian hung up the phone.

"It's confirmed, Anne didn't travel on business for those two days, and she commuted to and from work normally." Qin Tian turned his head and said to Zhao Gang.

"That's a good explanation. In the morning, Anne went out with her suitcase and Wang Kai. She must have told Wang Kai that she was going on a business trip and would not come back at night, so she would pull a suitcase. And Wang Kai believed it, so that night, he went to find Xiaomei. And Anne was waiting for him at the door. When he went in, so did Anne. So, Anne didn't pull the box. Because she just wanted to make sure. As a result, soon she came out. It should be, she already has the answer she wants. Zhao Gang said.

"In this case, Anne has already confirmed the relationship between Wang Kai and Xiaomei?"

"Ninety-nine percent of the time."

"So, didn't she catch the rape in bed?"

"Probably not. Judging by the time, the time she went in was very short. Moreover, the time when Wang Kai came out was more than an hour later, and judging from the pace and expression of Wang Kai walking when he came out, there was nothing unusual, and there was even a feeling of lightness. I don't think Anne debunked them. ”

"What does Anne think? Such a good opportunity, but they were not exposed? ”

"I don't know what's going on in her mind. I always felt that this woman's mind was very strange. Judging by the way she does things, she is a very cautious person. ”

"I still don't understand. Such a good opportunity, why didn't she seize it. ”

"Perhaps, she still has a trace of illusion about Wang Kai, and she doesn't want the two sides to tear their faces."

"It's all like this, what illusions do you have?" Qin Tian's tone was full of anger.

"There's another possibility." Zhao Gang looked at Qin Tian, and a strange look appeared on his face.

"What is possible?"

Zhao Gang paused for a moment and said, "Perhaps, she has other ideas. ”

"Other thoughts? What's the idea? ”

"Retaliation."

"You're saying she doesn't expose them because she thinks of other ways to deal with them?"

From Anne's point of view at the time, she found out that her boyfriend was cheating on the night she was raped, and now she has reconfirmed the fact that her boyfriend cheated. She must have been very unwilling in her heart. However, if it is exposed like this, what can she do except make a fuss? ”

"You mean, she already had the idea of revenge at that time, which was to kill Xiaomei?"

"I don't know what she thought at the time. However, because of this incident, it may be too exaggerated to kill Xiaomei. ”

"And how does she want to get revenge on them?" Qin Tian asked again.

I don't know. Maybe at the time, she didn't think about it herself. The purpose of her visit that day was just to confirm whether Wang Kai was cheating. As for what should be done after confirmation, perhaps, she herself has not yet figured it out. ”

"Hey, a woman's mind is really unpredictable." Qin Tian said.

Zhao Gang thought for a moment and said, "Go check it out." Look at when Anne called Zhang Bing. ”

"Do you want to make sure that Anne knew about the 200,000 at that time?"

"Not bad. If it's just a simple Wang Kai cheating, then things may not be so complicated. However, if you add the 200,000 yuan and Anne's pregnancy, things may not be so simple! ”

"You're saying that if it's just Wang Kai's cheating, Anne probably won't do anything out of the ordinary. However, if you add the last two things, it is not necessarily, is it? ”

"Sometimes, hatred is terrible. And there are things that may be the catalyst that will make the hatred even worse. ”

"So, we're going to sort out a timeline now. Figure out the ins and outs of what happened. ”

"Not bad. Organize these times and events first, and then analyze them. ”

"Okay, I'll check the phone number that Annie made to Zhang Bing right away."

Soon, Qin Tian found out the time of that call.

"Brother Zhao, Anne called Zhang Bing on September 28th. It happened to be two days after Anne confirmed Wang Kai's cheating for the second time. Qin Tian said.

The purpose of Anne's call should be to get some information about Wang Kai's derailment from Zhang Bing's mouth. Unexpectedly, I unexpectedly learned about the 200,000 yuan. Zhao Gang said.

She must have been surprised at the time. She must be curious to know what Wang Kai did with the 200,000 yuan. ”

"The last time we went to the Good Maternity Hospital, the doctor said that Anne's first visit was on October 10th, right?" Zhao Gang asked.

"That's right, October 10th." Qin Tian replied.

"Now, we can sort out the timeline."

After speaking, Zhao Gang picked up a piece of paper and began to comb it.

July 1 - Wang Kai's birthday, raped Xiaomei.

July 4 - Xiaomei threatens Wang Kai.

July 5 - Zhang Bing transferred 100,000 yuan to Wang Kai.

July 6 - Wang Kai withdrew 200,000 yuan to Xiaomei.

July 12 - Wang Kai threatens Xiaomei.

September 15 - Anne is raped and finds out that Wang Kai is cheating.

September 25 - Anne went on a fake business trip to reconfirm Wang Kai's cheating.

September 28 - Anne called Zhang Bing and learned about 200,000 yuan.

October 9th - Messages Linglong saying she wants to share a room with her.

October 10 – Anne takes a leave of absence. The first time I went to the beautiful maternity hospital.

October 12 - Anne moves into Linglong's house.

No. 10, No. 20 - Anne has an abortion.

December 12th - Xiaomei appeared in the "fate" KTV for the last time.

December 13th - Wang Kai and Anne went to move flowers and stayed at the Star Hotel in the afternoon. At night, Xiaomei appeared in the community surveillance for the last time.

December 15 - Wang Kai and Anne leave the Star Hotel.

December 16 - The two of them went to work normally.

December 18 - Wang Kai entered the community alone.

December 23 - Wang Kai entered the community alone.

January 10 - The landlord calls the police.

Zhao Gang looked at the long list of events listed on the paper and asked Qin Tian: "Look, what do you think?" ”

Qin Tian thought for a moment and said, "The forensic doctor deduced that the time of death of the corpse was around the tenth of December. But he said that because the bodies were frozen, there would be a deviation in timing. From this point of view, I think what happened after December 12th is very likely to be related to the case. ”

"That's right. This time period coincides best with the time of death of the deceased. ”

"However, we checked the surveillance at the entrance of the community and the surveillance of the hotel, and Wang Kai and Anne are not suspicious!"

"Is there anything we have overlooked?" Zhao Gang said.

After Xiaomei disappeared, Wang Kai also went to look for her twice alone. It shows that Wang Kai does not know that Xiaomei has disappeared. Basically, he can also be ruled out of suspicion. Qin Tian said.

"Where's Annie?"

"Xiaomei disappeared on the night of the 13th, Anne and Wang Kai had already checked into the Star Hotel on the afternoon of the 13th, and they checked out of the Star Hotel on the 15th, and the two of them went to work normally on the 16th. Anne never entered the neighborhood again. Therefore, her suspicion has basically been ruled out. Qin Tian said.

That means it's likely that the two of them weren't murderers. If they are murderers, they can only commit the crime while moving flowers? Zhao Gang thought about it, shook his head again, and said, "That's not enough time, it doesn't make sense!" ”

"That's right! It took less than an hour for the two of them to go in, and in such a short time, they had to kill people, dissect bodies, and clean up the scene. That's impossible! Moreover, the two had already left the community in the afternoon, and Xiaomei appeared in the community surveillance video at night, how to explain this? Qin Tian asked.

Zhao Gang thought for a while and said, "I always feel that something is wrong. ”

"If Wang Kai and Anne are murderers, then what is their motive?" Qin Tian asked.

"Wang Kai shouldn't have a motive to kill Xiaomei. Because the money has been given to Xiaomei, it is impossible to get the money back if you kill Xiaomei. Why did he kill Xiaomei? It didn't do him any good. Moreover, at present, Xiaomei is just missing. And whether the deceased has anything to do with Wang Kai is still uncertain. ”

"You mean, even if Xiaomei is dead, the murderer can't be Wang Kai?"

"Wang Kai has no motive to kill her!"

"That's Annie?"

"In terms of motivation, I think Anne is more likely. After all, what happened to Anne filled her heart with great hatred. She had every motive to take revenge for the killing. ”

However, their confessions were coherent. We don't have proof! ”

Zhao Gang thought for a while and said, "Do you remember the stray cat?" ”

"Remember!"

"Wang Kai doesn't know about stray cats. That's their loophole. Anne lied about this, and there must be something wrong with that. ”

"Do you still think Anne is the murderer?"

"I'm not sure. I just didn't feel right. Zhao Gang paused for a moment and asked again, "Did the results come out of the cup we sent for testing last time?" ”

"I've asked, but not yet. Results will not be available until this afternoon at the earliest. Qin Tian replied.

Zhao Gang sighed and said, "I hope these two cups can bring us clues to solve the case." ”

"Yes! So far, everything is just speculation. There is no substantial evidence yet. Qin Tian said.
