In my memory, there is such a case that I remember vividly. I remember seeing a text message on the victim's mobile phone: "If you fail me, I will kill you."

On this day, the smog shrouded the whole city, and it seemed that the air was sucked into the mouth, as if it felt like particles. Of course, this is an exaggeration, but this haze is really thick, so thick that people's hearts are covered with a membrane.

Lao Lu and I stood in front of the big screen of the technical department, frowning and looking at the blurred monitoring screen on the screen, without saying a word.

The surveillance footage has just been extracted, and the time on the screen is 100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

At 27 seconds, two people who were walking in the immigration plaza can be seen surrounded by three people, among whom the procurator man is forcibly dragged into a dark SUV, while the procurator woman is knocked on the head and pushed to the side.

Although the picture is blurry, it can be seen that the three murderers are all men. And with quick action and a well-proportioned body, it should be three young people.

Although the man who was arrested was tall and burly, his two fists were invincible to his four hands, and he was finally subdued by three young men.

The person who reported the incident was the woman who had been hit in the head, and her injuries were not serious, but the shock she received was not light.

Lao Lu and I met this woman in the VIP ward of the hospital, and the fact that she was able to live in the VIP ward shows that her economic conditions and social status are not bad.

But when we met this woman, I realized that this woman was also in her early 20s, young and beautiful, and I could see a seductive look in her eyes.

Beauty is pleasing to the eye, but I don't know why, my first impression of this woman is not very good, and I always feel that she is not a serious woman.

I stood by the windowsill, looked at the bright red flowers on the windowsill, and then at the woman. The woman's head was wrapped in gauze, and her eyes were a little misty, but the coquettish taste could still reveal a little.

Lao Lu stood at the head of the bed, looked at the woman and said, "What's your name?" ”

The woman whispered, "Xue Xiuxiu." ”

"How old?"

“21。”

"What is your relationship with the victim?"

"Friendship."

Lao Lu nodded and said, "Describe the situation that night." ”

Xue Xiuxiu said: "After Mr. Li and I finished dinner at a restaurant near the immigration square that night, because the meal time was too late and we ate a lot, we took a walk in the immigration square to eat. But I didn't expect that when we walked to the edge of the square, we were surrounded by three gangsters wearing masks. They all had knives in their hands, and one of the gangsters, who was about the same height as Mr. Li, wrapped Mr. Li's neck with a wire and dragged him onto an off-road vehicle. I yelled for help and was hit on the head with the handle of a knife by a gangster, and I almost fainted. When I reacted, I called the police. ”

Lao Lu asked, "Has Mr. Li ever had a feud with anyone before?" ”

Xue Xiuxiu thought for a while and said, "It's not very clear, it shouldn't be." ”

Lao Lu nodded. Didn't ask any more questions.

This Mr. Li is also the victim. Male, full name Li Cangxiao, 45 years old this year, is a master of business, mainly engaged in department stores and clothing, not only in Wanzhou, but also in Chongqing districts and counties chain stores. In the business world, this Li Cangxiao can be said to be a well-known figure.

Then my first judgment is that this Li Cangxiao was kidnapped and blackmailed.

But 24 hours have passed, and Li Cangxiao's family and friends have not received any blackmail calls. This is a very unusual situation, which makes the case confusing.

Of course, in these 24 hours, Lao Lu and I still did a lot of work.

First of all, I learned about Li Cangxiao's social relations and family situation.

In social relations, it was not found that Li Cangxiao was involved in crime or had grudges with others, he was still a businessman and did not do those business behaviors that crossed the line.

But Li Cangxiao's family situation is not very good. I have been separated from my wife for a year.

Li Cangxiao's wife's name is Mu Huilan, who is the principal of a middle school and graduated with a doctorate. He is also a well-known figure in the education world, and his various honors in the education industry are gathered together, a typical social elite.

Ms. Mou, 44, married Mr. Li, who was a year his senior, three years ago. Both are married for the second time, Li Cangxiao has no children under her knees, and Mu Huilan has a daughter, but she lives with her ex-husband. So the two got married and did not involve each other's children.

It is understood that the two met at a meeting held by the government, and the people who attended the meeting were all elites in society.

Li Cangxiao's family and friends reported that in the first two years of marriage, Li Cangxiao loved Mu Huilan very much, and simply offered Mu Huilan as a baby. And he also left such a message on his own meager side.

I thought I would be lonely for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect that in the year of confusion, I was favored by God and met the goddess of my dreams, she is my wife, my beloved Huilan. I will spend my life to protect you, take care of you, and prevent you from being wronged and hurt in the slightest. I love you and swear to you by the life I thought I had.

But under this message, I saw the reply at that time.

The reply was Mu Huilan, and her reply was: If you bear me, I will kill you, hehe.

After that, there was a flirtatious conversation between the two, which shows that the two were indeed very affectionate at that time, judging from the content of their respective replies, they were like young people in love.

But the good times didn't last long, and two years later, the two didn't know what the reason was, and they actually separated. And Li Cangxiao was so angry that he ran to Mu Huilan's school, hit the stainless steel automatic door of the school with his BMW, and shouted loudly at the school gate to let the shameless Mu Huilan get out. Mu Huilan and Li Cangxiao are both people with heads and faces, which not only disgraced Li Cangxiao, but also made Mu Huilan even more faceless at school, and became people's private jokes and after-dinner conversations.

Since then, the two have been like fire and water, and when they meet, they quarrel and make a family. But I don't know why, it's all like this, and the two still haven't divorced.

Of course, Li Cangxiao is a successful man, and with his tall and burly figure, there must be no shortage of women around him.

And after Li Cangxiao separated, Xue Xiuxiu appeared by Li Cangxiao's side.

Li Cangxiao's friends all know that Xue Xiuxiu is Li Cangxiao's lover, but they don't know what Xue Xiuxiu's identity is. But since Xue Xiuxiu climbed to Li Cangxiao, this Xue Xiuxiu has one more identity, that is, the chief manager of Li Cangxiao's clothing store.

We investigated Xue Xiuxiu's origins. She is a native of Wanzhou, high Chinese, and previously worked in Li Cangxi's clothing store.

Then a question arises here, is this Xue Xiuxiu's appearance after Li Cangxiao and Mu Huilan separated, or before the separation? Does the contradiction between Li Cangxiao and Mu Huilan have anything to do with this Xue Xiuxiu?

Because of this problem, I visited Mu Huilan again, and this time it was in the principal's office of Mu Huilan's middle school.

The office is very atmospheric, and there is a calligraphy on the wall of 'peach and plum all over the world', and the payment is Mu Huilan. The regular script is flowing smoothly, showing that the calligraphy attainments are really extraordinary.

Just as eye-catching as the calligraphy is that there is a wall in the office, which is framed with the certificates that Mu Huilan has won, and there is a glass cabinet next to the wall, which is also full of various honorary certificates and trophies won by Mu Huilan.

These things can prove that Mu Huilan is indeed the dragon and phoenix among people. It can also be explained that Mu Huilan is a woman who attaches great importance to honor, and she must be very good-looking when she puts these things out.

I was thinking, what would it be like for such a good-looking strong woman to be scolded by her husband standing at the door of the unit?

Mu Huilan was sitting at a huge black desk at this time, looking at her laptop.

She wears some purple-pink metal-framed glasses, has neat shoulder-length short hair, paints professional light makeup, and wears a small black suit showing a strong heroine temperament. The typical way a successful person dresses up during work.

In the face of this kind of strong woman who looks amazing from the outside, men are generally still a little in awe. I think the reason why women are sometimes described as tigresses should not be to say how fierce and ruthless this woman is, but that this kind of woman has a kind of royal momentum.

Mu Huilan is such a woman.

I straightened my shirt, exhaled, and under the leadership of the director of the school office, I walked in front of Mu Huilan.

Mu Huilan slowly raised her head and looked at me, I felt my brows furrow, and my heartbeat seemed to speed up a little. The look in her eyes reminded me of the female homeroom teacher in elementary school, when I was naughty and mischievous, and she looked at me like that.

I stabilized my mind and said respectfully: "Principal Mu, I am the consultant of the criminal investigation team, Ouyang Jie, I have some things about your husband's case that I need to know from you. I don't know if it's inconvenient now. ”

Mu Huilan said in the tone of a dialogue between superiors and subordinates: "Well, Captain Lu told me, let's talk casually." Director Wang, close the door when you go out. ”

Director Wang of the office only said yes. It seems that this tigress, oh no, Principal Mu manages her subordinates obediently.

"Officer Ouyang, sit down. The surname Ouyang is quite rare now. When I was still studying for my PhD, I met a friend whose surname was Ouyang. Mu Huilan's tone was calm and full of laughter.

I sat down slowly and followed her words and said, "Yes, it's called Ouyang, except for knowing my dad and them, I haven't met anyone else named Ouyang." ”

Mu Hui Lanpi didn't smile.

I then said, "Is it inconvenient for Fang to talk about your relationship with Li Cangxiao?" ”

Mu Huilan's eyes rolled and smiled, not knowing whether it was a sneer or a helpless smile. She then said: "There's nothing to talk about, my relationship with him has broken down a long time ago, so I don't want to care if something happens to him." But if you police want to understand the situation, I will fully cooperate, if there is any problem, Officer Ouyang, just ask. ”

I nodded slowly and said, "I don't know if Principal Mu knows about Xue Xiuxiu's woman?" ”

After I finished saying this, I tilted my head slightly and looked at Mu Huilan's expression carefully.

Mu Huilan's brows furrowed slightly, and there was an obvious bite movement in her mouth, and her eyes rolled left and right three times.

These subtle movements were only visible on her face for almost a second, and then she smiled slightly, shook her head, and said, "I haven't heard of it." ”

When a woman says no, she probably says yes, and the words 'I haven't heard of' are obviously lying.
