Bidding farewell to Qi Ruonan, Gu Song and Xia Shi drove to Wang Datian's house. Today is Saturday, Wang Datian is not at work, and he is preparing dinner at home at this time.

Xia Shi knocked on the door, showed his ID to Wang Datian, and said straight to the point: "Hello, Mr. Wang, we are police officers from the criminal police detachment of the Municipal Bureau, and we want to know about the economic dispute between you and Jiang Peiyao." ”

"What?" Wang Datian looked at Xia Shi and Gu Song in surprise, and the expression on his face looked very unnatural. "I didn't call the police, and besides, I have reached a private settlement with her, I don't know what else you want to know?"

"Oh? Jiang Peiyao has already returned the money to you? Xia Shi asked suspiciously.

"Not really." Wang Datian smiled bitterly and said, "But she promised me that I would definitely repay the money, so let me wait patiently for a while." ”

"What guarantee did she take? An IOU was given to you, or? ”

"Verbally agreed, I think she is not bad, she should be trustworthy."

"You've met in private?"

"Nope." Wang Datian hurriedly shook his head, as if he wanted to hide something, "We only contacted by phone, I haven't met her in person." ”

"Then why do you believe her? How do you know how good she is? Xia Shi continued to ask.

"Well...... Wang Datian opened his mouth in embarrassment, and he was speechless for a while. Gu Song smiled meaningfully and said, "Mr. Wang, don't you invite us in and sit?" It's tiring to stand outside and talk. ”

Wang Datian very reluctantly invited Gu Song and Xia Shi into the house and let them sit on the sofa, while he stood aside, a little cramped and uneasy. His behavior was so unnatural that anyone could see that he had a ghost in his heart, let alone Gu Song and Xia Shi, two experienced policemen.

Gu Song glanced at the situation in the room and asked, "Tell me, what happened between you and Jiang Peiyao?" You said you had reached a private settlement, but I don't think it's that simple, right? ”

"What the hell do you mean?"

"I want to know, what did you talk about in private, and how did you reconcile?"

"It's my own business, so I don't need to tell you, do I?"

"Is there something unspeakable, or is there a secret that can't be said?"

"You guys?" Wang Datian hesitated for a moment and asked in a tentative tone, "Did Jiang Peiyao tell you something?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Song and Xia Shi glanced at each other and continued to ask, "Jiang Peiyao is missing, don't you know?" ”

"Missing?" Wang Datian's eyes widened in surprise, shook his head and said, "I didn't know she was missing, and I was still waiting for her to pay back the money." ”

"You really don't know?" Gu Song asked him seriously again.

"I really don't know."

While a few people were talking, the sound of a key opening the door suddenly came from the hallway. Wang Datian turned his head to look at the door and swallowed nervously, this detail did not escape Gu Song's eyes.

"Your son is back from school, right?" Gu Song also stared at the door, wanting to see what kind of bear child this Wang Xiaoli who caused trouble for his father was.

The door opened, and a boy of fifteen or sixteen walked in with a school bag. He was not tall, thin, dressed in a neat school uniform and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and looked sven. It was hard for Gu Song to imagine that such a child would give so much money to the female anchor without telling his father.

Wang Datian is a single father who works in a state-owned enterprise and does not have a high salary. He has to repay the mortgage and raise his son, and it is not easy to save 80,000 yuan through hard work. Wang Xiaoli squandered all the money in only a month, and of course Wang Datian would be half angry with this loser.

Seeing the two not very friendly strangers at home, Wang Xiaoli was stunned at the door for a moment, and then cast a puzzled look at Wang Datian.

"Come in and do your homework, it's none of your business here." Wang Datian said sternly, and at the same time glanced at Wang Xiaoli.

Gu Song looked down at Wang Xiaoli's black sneakers, and his brows furrowed slightly. "Mr. Wang, your son is a party to this matter, and we need to talk to him."

"Don't you all know what happened? What else to talk about? Wang Datian asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Tell us what he did when he went to Jiang Peiyao's house? Do you know where Jiang Peiyao went? ”

"How would he have known that he hadn't been to the girl's house?"

"You really haven't been?" Gu Song looked at Wang Xiaoli seriously and asked.

"No,......" Wang Xiaoli replied in a low voice, looking lacking in confidence.

"Since you haven't been there, how can your shoe prints be left on the floor of Jiang Peiyao's house?" Gu Song wasn't very sure that those footprints were left by Wang Xiaoli, but after such a temptation, he had an answer in his heart.

"I ......" Wang Xiaoli lowered her head and stopped talking, maybe this problem came unexpectedly, Wang Datian didn't teach him how to deal with it.

There was a brief silence in the living room, and Wang Datian suddenly changed his previous uncooperative attitude, and said with a wry smile: "Two police officers, you listen to my explanation. My son did go to Jiang Peiyao's house to ask for money for that girl. Because you said that Jiang Peiyao was missing, I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I concealed this situation. But I swear to God, my son has never done anything bad, and that the girl's disappearance has nothing to do with my son. ”

"It's not up to you to say whether it has anything to do with it, we can't stop investigating just because you swear to God, right?" Gu Song said and fell on the young man's body, "Wang Xiaoli, tell me yourself, when did you go to Jiang Peiyao's house?" What are you doing at her house? ”

"I ......" Wang Xiaoli glanced at Wang Datian secretly, as if asking for the other party's opinion. Xia Shi suddenly shouted: "Don't look at him, you say it yourself." ”

Wang Xiaoli was taken aback, quickly turned her head back, and replied in a low voice: "On the 15th of last month, I went to Sister Pei Yao's house and wanted her to return the money to my father. She said she had no money and told me to wait a few months. I was afraid that I wouldn't get the money and would be beaten again when I went home, so I begged her for a long time. She reluctantly told me that her mother had a serious heart condition and needed a lot of money for surgery. She assured me that she would return the money to me as soon as she had more money. It's not easy for me to see her as a girl, so I'll ...... if I'm soft-hearted."

"You mean to say that the two of you have reconciled privately, right?" Xia Shi asked.

"yes, she said she didn't have any money, what could I do." Wang Xiaoli replied a little anxiously, and her voice unconsciously raised a few decibels.

"Then how did you convince your father? Did he give up asking Jiang Peiyao for money after listening to your words? ”

"Uh......" Hearing this question, Wang Xiaoli looked at Wang Datian again. The father and son looked at each other for a few seconds, and Wang Xiaoli said: "That's how I explained to him, tell the truth." ”

"Yes, yes, that's what he said." Wang Datian hurriedly took over the conversation, for fear that his son would make a mistake if he talked too much. "I also think that girl is not easy, I want to give her a chance, she can't run anyway, I didn't expect ......" Wang Datian sighed and shook his head, "I didn't expect her to really run away......"

"You think she disappeared because she didn't want to pay back?"

"Huh?" Wang Datian didn't seem to realize what he had just said, and after a pause, he quickly explained, "I don't know, I guess." ”
