Chapter 7: Hide and Seek (Part II)

"What?" Li Hong was a little surprised.

Although this is just a guess, it is very likely that Tang Yuankai, who has been a good man all his life, regretted it after killing someone. And he didn't want to involve his old mother in filial piety, so he cleaned up his room and decided to find a place to end his life quietly. Yang Wenbin touched the smooth wooden board of the computer desk and said.

"This should make sense, at least in the direction of investigation." Yan Junli nodded, "But where will he go to commit suicide?" ”

Yang Wenbin walked to the window and opened the curtain with a "swish".

"If I were a dutiful son, I would never have chosen a place too far away. Because in the bottom of my heart, I still wish my mother could find my bones. The tall building opposite is a good choice, but the person who committed suicide by jumping off the building can't go undetected for so long. If you want to find a suicide location that is not too far away and will not be discovered by the police......"

Yang Wenbin pointed to an inconspicuous corner of the window.

"Is there a reservoir in that direction?"

——————————————————————————————

Once there was a direction for the investigation, everyone was motivated. This reservoir in the center of the city is not big or small, and it has been in a semi-abandoned state for a long time. Yan Junli led a team of people, put on rubber boots, rolled up his sleeves and went into the water.

Retrieving the body is not a simple job, an hour has passed, two hours have passed, Yang Wenbin watched the police busy on the shore, and he was also a little anxious.

"How's it going over there!"

"Nothing found! What about you? ”

Li Hong shook his head, "I didn't find anything." ”

Yan Junli sighed and threw the tools onto the shore, "Okay, let's take a rest." ”

The police complained and went ashore, throwing salvage tools and wet clothes aside.

Yang Wenbin's heart was a little reluctant, but before he could speak, Yan Junli reached out and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't worry, it's not your fault. It's just a guess, and if we're wrong, we'll just change directions. That's what the police are supposed to do. ”

Yang Wenbin showed a somewhat dazed expression, "But if he wasn't here, where would he be?" ”

"Let's rest for a while," Yan Junli sat on the stone brick on the side, "Maybe we've missed some details." ”

At this time, Yang Wenbin's mobile phone rang, and he took out his mobile phone and was stunned when he saw it.

"Who is it?" Yan Junli asked curiously.

"It's Juber." Yang Wenbin replied softly, a little remorseful, "My God, I forgot that today is the first day of the Lunar New Year." I didn't even call his old man......"

Saying that, Yang Wenbin pressed the connect button.

"Hey, Juber."

"Hey, Xiaobin." On the other end of the phone, Zhu Bo's slow voice came, "How are you on the other end?" I've been worried about you, and I'm afraid that calling you will distract you......"

"It's okay, I'm fine." Yang Wenbin hurriedly said, "The case is not over yet, but you don't have to worry, there is no danger." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Uncle Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you young people do a good job, I won't bother, don't delay your big things." ”

"Hey, wait!" Yang Wenbin hurriedly said, "Uncle Zhu, Happy New Year!" New Year's greetings to you! ”

"Okay, good ......" Zhu Bo laughed, "Xiaobin, you have to work hard in the new year, and strive to catch all the bad guys!" ”

Yang Wenbin smiled, "Okay! ”

Yang Wenbin hung up the phone, and the smile on his face still lingered.

"Yan Junli, I suddenly felt that maybe I was wrong in the direction of my reasoning."

"Huh?"

"A truly filial son may not choose to abandon his elderly mother and choose to commit suicide." Yang Wenbin looked at the calm reservoir and said, "Tang Yuankai's mother only has one son, and judging from the fact that Tang Yuankai lives with his mother, it can be seen that he is indeed a very filial son. If Tang Yuankai chooses to commit suicide, his mother will undoubtedly have no one to take care of him, so will the filial Tang Yuankai really choose to do this? ”

Yang Wenbin stood up and patted the dust on his pants, "Let's go, we have to investigate from other directions." ”

————————————————————————————

"Xiao Panxiang, Tang Yuankai's wife. The old lady said that the relationship between their husband and wife was not good, and it was true. In the week before Tang Yuankai's disappearance, they were all separated. Xiao Panxiang has been living in the company's dormitory, and I am afraid that she does not know that her husband has disappeared. ”

As he spoke, Yan Junli raised his hand and knocked on the door of the dormitory.

"Hello! I am a police officer of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of City C, is Xiao Panxiang here? ”

There was silence inside the door for a long time, and Li Hong said strangely, "Is no one there?" ”

At this moment, a large basin of cold water suddenly poured on the second floor of the dormitory, and it was all poured on Yan Junli's body, and at the same time, there was a scolding voice:

"Tang Yuankai! You're not a thing! Tell you how many times, don't bother the old lady! You are still pretending to be a policeman, you are not ashamed! Bah! ”

Cold water slowly dripped down Yan Junli's hair, and Yang Wenbin and Li Hong laughed desperately on the side. Yan Junli was like a tragic chicken in the soup, one left and one right gave two people a slap in the eye, took a deep breath, and said viciously,

"Next time, whoever asks me to knock on the door again, I'll be in a hurry."

Fortunately, although it took a lot of effort, they finally explained to Xiao Panxiang that they were not liars but real policemen.

"Oh...... I, I'm so sorry. I didn't know if you were really ......" Xiao Panxiang welcomed a few people into the door with an apologetic face.

"It doesn't matter, every man will encounter such a thing as being splashed with water two or three times." Yan Junli wiped his face, shook his wet hair handsomely, and then glared fiercely at Yang Wenbin and Li Hong, who were holding back their laughter, "Don't laugh!" ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Yang Wenbin coughed dryly several times before holding back the smile in his throat and eyes, and turned to Xiao Panxiang, "You are Tang Yuankai's wife?" ”

Xiao Panxiang nodded nervously, "Yes...... Excuse me, is something going on? ”

"Ms. Xiao, I won't tell you. Your husband Tang Yuankai is suspected of killing lawyer Chen Hongfu and then disappeared, and now we are looking for him everywhere. Yan Junli said.

"What? Chen Hongfu? Xiao Panxiang covered her mouth in surprise, "Could it be the one who appeared on TV Chinese New Year's Eve night...... Oh my God, how could it be ......"

"We've heard that you've not been on good terms with your husband lately? Can you tell us what's going on? Yang Wenbin asked.

Xiao Panxiang's eyes wandered, a little hesitant, but she still made a decision quickly, "Since such a big thing has happened, then I can't hide it." In fact...... Our relationship has been very stiff in recent months, and I suspect that Tang Yuankai has cheated. ”

"Cheating? What's going on? ”

Xiao Panxiang adjusted her sitting posture uncomfortably, "We just got married not long ago, and our previous relationship has always been very good. But after getting married, he became very weak. Whether emotionally, or ...... That aspect. In short, he always didn't come home at night, using work and entertainment as an excuse, and then I couldn't stand it anymore, so I quarreled with him a few times, but I didn't expect him to be the same as always, without the slightest intention of repentance. I had no choice but to hire a detective to investigate secretly, and it turned out that he was indeed having an affair with a vixen in the company. ”

Yan Junli and Yang Wenbin glanced at each other, and Yang Wenbin asked, "Can you tell us about it...... Uh, what's going on with that vixen? ”

Xiao Panxiang took a deep breath and said, "The first time, I followed Tang Yuankai, and I found out that his so-called entertainment was actually going to a nightclub, what is the name of the family...... A bar of miracles or something. Several times I saw him going in and out with a dancer, talking and laughing. Later, I found out that this vixen was actually an employee of Tang Yuankai's company. I was so angry that I slapped the evidence in his face and asked for a divorce, but I didn't expect this bastard to not only not repent, but also accused me of violating his private sphere. How can a husband talk to his wife like this! And he didn't agree to the divorce, so we had to separate temporarily. I swear I really don't know anything about that Chen Hongfu, and I don't know why Tang Yuankai would do such a thing......"

Xiao Panxiang sighed and asked Yan Junli and the others for help.

"Thank you for the information. It helped us a lot. Yan Junli closed the notepad and comforted the weeping lady, "What is that woman's name?" ”

"Zhu Xuetao."

————————————————————————————

"Now we have a new direction." Li Hong analyzed, "Tang Yuankai may have gone to his lover to avoid the limelight in order to escape from his fierce wife." ”

"Or because he fell out with his wife, he simply ran away to live with his lover permanently." Yan Junli interjected, "But don't you think it's strange? This Tang Yuankai, the reviews of his mother and his wife are completely opposite. ”

"There's nothing strange about it, wife and mother-in-law, how can there be no one who doesn't rush." Yang Wenbin shrugged.

"You know a lot." Yan Junli looked Yang Wenbin up and down, "Say, do you have a woman outside?" ”

Yang Wenbin rolled his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to Yan Junli's joke.

"This clown-Xia Baiyan, who treats human life as a child's play, and leads us by the nose, once I catch him, he had better be prepared to be broken into thousands of pieces."

Before walking into the elevator of Tang Yuankai's company, Yang Wenbin said secretly.

"I agree." Yan Junli patted his partner on the shoulder, "But now he is indeed taking the lead, that is because he treats human life as a child's play, but we still have to protect the living." ”
