39. Marriage has nothing to do with cohabitation

Mei took the set of keys and saw that it was a very ordinary set of keys, made of steel, aluminum alloy, and steel. 【Latest chapter reading. She counted them, and there were 7 of them.

Mei said: "The keys are clues, see where these keys can open?" What can be found in an open place? Right, man. ”

"That's smart."

"It's red to be close to Zhu," Mei teased.

"Hey, man, when are we going to get married?"

Tang was stunned, "Your topic has changed too quickly." ”

"You can't let marriage be a permanent topic of conversation between us, can you?"

"What do you do when you get married? Wouldn't it be nice to be like that now? Man, what's missing from you? From heart to body? You said. The soup patted Mei's face with his hand across the coffee table.

"One less warm home."

"Is home that good?"

"People have to have a home."

"What is home?" Tang asked himself, his voice lowered. "Home is a castle, a heavy, lifelong responsibility. A man should not have a family without a strong sense of responsibility. ”

"Don't you have that sense of responsibility?"

Tang shook his head—

"I'm not without a sense of responsibility, I consider myself a man with a strong sense of responsibility. I've just seen too many broken unsuccessful families...... Meixin still had a home, how about it, according to you, it wasn't a violent underwater death? Maddie still has a home, and she hasn't been killed yet?"

"Maddie is a suicide!" May corrected for him.

"It's killed!" Tang suddenly became serious. "I said, Maddie didn't kill himself!"

May also got more excited: "Man, do you really want to get Maddie killed?"

"How about we make a bet?"

"What bet?"

"If Maddie is a suicide, you will punish me for not being allowed to enter your room for a month......"

"No, it's not allowed to go to bed!"

"Okay, what if Maddie doesn't kill herself?"

"We'll get married!"

"Okay."

"I'm going to win!" May said. "Tell me, man, what are we going to do next?"

Tang shook the keys in his hand again.

"Starting with this set of keys, you see, there are seven of them, and we've used one of them to open the door to Maddie's house, and we'll go back to his office and see what other six of the keys can open...... Do it now. Hey, I said guy, can you not use that open front tooth to eat melon seeds, and then eat that tooth, and then it will be scrapped......"

Yongtai Trading Company received Tang and Mei as the deputy of General Manager Maddie.

It was an old deputy general manager, probably 57 or 58. Anyway, not a single hair had fallen out of his head, and it was a shiny ball. However, his beard was thick, and his chin was black and flat. While the deputy general manager was intently looking at the search warrant handed over by Tang, Mei whispered in Tang's ear: "His hair has grown in the wrong place......

Tang elbowed her.

The deputy general manager read the search warrant.

"Please follow me."

Tang and Mei followed the deputy general manager to Maddie's general manager's office.

When passing by the big office, the employees who were chattering stopped talking together, and cast surprised eyes at the bald deputy general manager and the two male policemen who were passing by, they already knew the news of the death of their general manager, and they must have been discussing the death of the general manager just now, and the sudden arrival of the two policemen naturally pushed this discussion to a static *.

People can use their own death to prove their existence to others for the last time.

Tang and Mei are used to this kind of discussion and gaze.

They passed through these gazes and came to the general manager's office.

Maddie's office is the kind of ensuite. Outside, an old and ugly woman was sitting.

"This is the general manager...... Oh, it's Maddie's original female secretary, Miss Ye Manmi. The deputy general manager said: "These are two comrades from the Public Security Bureau, who came for Maddie's accident, they have a search warrant and are performing official duties, Miss Ye, please cooperate." ”

"Hello." Ye Manmi shook hands with the two policemen with a cold face.

Tang held Ye Manmi's chicken-like hand, and wondered in his heart, why did the handsome and dashing general manager Maddie use such an ugly woman as his secretary? Is there any mystery here? Does Maddie's death have anything to do with this ugly female secretary?

The police suspect everything.

The deputy general manager turned around and said to Tang Hemei: "I'm sorry, I still have something to do, and I can't accompany me." ”

"Please."

The deputy general manager left, as if he was not interested in the matter, or was afraid of getting into trouble. Maybe he's busy plotting how to take over the power of general manager?

"What do you want me to do?" The old, ugly female secretary asked.

"We want to search Maddie's office."

"Please, it's his office in the middle."

Ye Manmi introduces Tang and Mei into Maddie's office.

"I'm not going to get in the way of your business."

Ye Manmi retired from the general manager's office.

Isn't she interested in this matter? Or is she afraid of getting into trouble?

When only Tang and Mei were left, Tang first took a look at Maddie's office. Maddie's office is almost the same as that of some company managers, with a boss's desk, a leather sofa, a tin cabinet, a small safe, and an empty swivel chair that looks like a notch in the front teeth.

Tang first took out the set of keys, came to the door connecting the general manager's office and the secretary's office, and used the set of keys to test one by one, and finally one key opened the door lock.

"Okay, we've ruled out one more, and one of the seven keys found on Maddie's body was the one that opened the door to Maddie's office." Tang said.

"Let's try the other five." May said.

"We need to find the lock first." Tang said.

Two police officers inspected Maddie's office and found only three locks in the entire office: the top drawer on the boss's desk, the upper level of the roll cabinet, and the small safe.

Tang first used the set of keys to lock the top drawer of the boss's desk, and the lock opened smoothly, because the lock of the drawer was a small hidden lock, and it was opened at once with one of the small keys in the set of keys.

In the drawer was a phone number book that Maddie had recorded herself, as well as two business card holders, which were filled with business cards, and nothing of value was found.

Tang continued to try to open the tin cabinet with another key.

The cabinet was full of papers, contracts, and stuff.

Tang opened the safe with a larger key.

The contents of the safe were stocks, securities, cash and passbooks. meantime

Two letters were found in a small drawer in the safe.

Before he could open the letter, Tang said, "Guy, there's a play." ”

"How do you know, man, it's police instinct again?"

Tong opens the first letter and discovers that it is an anonymous letter.

The content of the first anonymous letter was short, with only one sentence:

Maddie: You're the murderer of Mei Xin. Go to the Public Security Bureau and turn yourself in.

A lakeside fishing witness

Tang felt a burst of excitement, my feeling was right, Maddie's death was indeed related to the drowning incident 7 years ago - 7 years, you finally showed your tail!

He remained silent, handed the first anonymous letter to Mei, and continued to read the second anonymous letter himself. The second anonymous letter has the same content as the first anonymous letter, but the text is slightly longer:

Maddie, why haven't you turned yourself in to the Public Security Bureau? Don't think I don't have the evidence of your murder.

First, you have a motive for committing the crime, before you went to the reservoir to travel, you had an affair, and secretly crossed Chen Cang with a woman named Yan Yu, you want to divorce Meixin, Meixin didn't agree, so you created the drowning murder case. Second, you have the conditions to commit the crime. You can swim in the countryside since you were a child, but you only came to the city later, and others don't know, since you can swim, why don't you save Meixin when the boat capsizes? Because that's exactly what you do to murder.

Third, someone has confirmed your criminal behavior – that's me. That little boat was deliberately overturned by you, and I saw it with my own eyes while fishing elbows on the shore, and I can testify in court if necessary.

Of course, maybe your wife Yan Yu will also testify in court, because she must know about it. Therefore, I advise you to be smart and quickly go to the public security bureau to turn yourself in. Otherwise, I will go to the public security bureau to report the case, and by the time the public security bureau comes to your door, it will be too late.

A fishing witness

After reading the two anonymous letters, Tang was happy.

He stopped checking for a moment and sat in the swivel chair behind the boss's desk.

"Guy, you sit down too, let's discuss it."

May sat on the couch.

"The discovery of these two anonymous letters confirmed my two original feelings......

"That drowning case from 7 years ago again?"

"Yes, I ......"

"This is the 767th time." Mei said with a smile.

Tang ignored her and continued: "7 years ago, I felt that Meixin was not killed in an accident, but murdered, but there has been no evidence and no witnesses, so it was determined to be an accident. ”

"Witnesses? You mean the person who wrote the anonymous letter?"

"Yes."

"Who is this man?"

"We'll find out, although we don't know who this person is yet?" "I thought: maybe it's the guy who wrote us an anonymous letter seven years ago to report Maddie," Tang said. ”

May didn't say anything.

Tang continued: "Now, in the case of Maddie's death, I suspect that he did not commit suicide, and I suspect that his death is still related to the incident 7 years ago, and it has been confirmed, judging from the content of these two anonymous letters, someone has seen the process of Maddie's murder of Meixin 7 years ago, and now he is being reported and forced to go to the public security bureau to turn himself in." ”

May spoke at this point, and she poured cold water on him.

"Man, don't rejoice too early, there are two sides to everything: the appearance of these two anonymous letters, on the one hand, unravels the secret of Maddie's murder of his wife Meixin 7 years ago, and may confirm your conclusion about the reservoir drowning case 7 years ago, but also fulfills the wish you have been cherishing for 7 years.

On the other hand, it also shows that Maddie was cornered by this incident and had to commit suicide to relieve herself. It can be said that we found the motive for Maddie's suicide from these two anonymous letters, which confirms that Maddie committed suicide rather than murder from another side, and negates your conclusion that Maddie is not suicide but murder. ”

Tang was stunned.

Mei was proud, yes, the confident Maddie didn't expect that her discovery would lead her original logical reasoning to a dead end.

Mei said, "Man, I'm afraid you won't be able to get into my bed this month." ”

"No, no! Tang got up from the swivel chair behind the boss's desk. "Guy, you don't understand what I mean, or I haven't finished saying it all...... On the face of it, things do turn out as you said, Maddie murdered his own wife 7 years ago, and someone witnessed it all.

Seven years later, this witness came forward to expose Maddie's murder and forced Maddie to surrender to the Public Security Bureau, but Maddie had no choice but to commit suicide.

However, a closer analysis reveals three deep-seated problems from the anonymous letter: First......"

Tang Xiangmei raised a finger.

“…… The anonymous letter mentions Maddie's current wife, Yan Yu, which is an important discovery, because we did not take Yan Yu into account in Maddie's death, because during Maddie's death, she happened to be on a business trip to Shenyang, and she did not occupy the time and did not have the conditions to commit the crime.

The anonymous letter made us understand that Yan Yu had that kind of relationship with Maddie before Meixin's death, which provided us with clues to find Maddie's motive for murdering Meixin...... Yes, Maddie murdered Meixin because of Yan Yu's new love.

Since Maddie murdered Meixin in order to get Yan Yu, and their interests in Meixin are the same, then, as Maddie's lover, it is possible that Yan Yu knew about Maddie's murder, or that Yan Yu may have been involved in the entire murder process back then—or she only learned about the situation later.

From this point of view, she is also an insider, or one of the insiders...... This discovery may provide us with some clues to solve the mystery of Maddie's death, guy, it's not that I say this because I suspect that the anonymous letter was written by Yan Yu, no! Because according to normal logical reasoning, whether it was back then or now, Yan Yu and Maddie's interests are the same, and it is impossible to use the secret he and her shared back then to force him to commit suicide, I just want to say that Yan Yu may provide us with clues. Second ......"

Tang held up another finger. May wondered why he raised a finger when he said two.

The author of the anonymous letter also knows Yan Yu, at least knows Yan Yu as a person, and knows the relationship between Yan Yu and Maddie - of course, the improper relationship that used to be. Because the author of the anonymous letter mentioned Yan Yu twice in the letter.

"So, what is the relationship between the person who wrote the anonymous letter and Yan Yu? If Yan Yu had returned from Shenyang, we would have asked her if she would have guessed who wrote the anonymous letter was. Third ......"

Tang still raised a finger, and Mei wanted to laugh, he said that the eighth is probably a single finger.

“…… Since the insider who wrote the anonymous letter witnessed Maddie's murder of Meixin, why didn't he report it back then, and did he report it after 7 years? Was it that the interests were the same back then, but now they are inconsistent? Or did you have concerns back then, and now your conscience has finally found out? Who is this person who is in the know of the anonymous letter?"

"Man, we can look it up through the anonymous letter itself."

"It's hard, guy, you find out no, the font of the anonymous letter is disguised, it's not easy to check. Moreover, the two anonymous letters were not sent from the Macao Post and Telecommunications Bureau, as there were no stamps or cancellation stamps. It was delivered directly to Maddie in a way we didn't know about. ”

"So, while there are some new clues, man, it's still hard for you to confirm that Maddie didn't commit suicide."

"Don't worry, there's another important clue," Tang said the key in his hand again.

"We opened five locks out of seven keys, and there were two keys left, but we couldn't find the locks to open."

Tang is telling the truth, as there is no more lock in Maddie's office. So, where are the remaining two keys unlocked?

May took the keychain and looked at the two unlockless keys that could be opened.
