Chapter 35: Invisible Love
In the early morning, Wu Ning was woken up by the sound of a squirrel.
But when he woke up, he listened intently, and heard nothing.
When I walked out of the wooden screen, I found that the boss and Niu Kelian, who I had seen yesterday, were sitting in the hall.
Niu Kelian should have just entered the door, holding a bottle of orange juice of unknown brand in his arms, and drinking it with a clatter. A bottle of drink was visibly poured into his stomach.
Niu Kelian burped after drinking, wiped the corners of his mouth, and muttered: "This ghost weather, it's really hot." ”
"How's it going?" Wu Jiu tapped on the table.
Niu Kelian handed the empty bottle to Wu Ning, who was listening, and pouted: "Cut down, that tree, the night before the owner moved six years ago, was directly cut in half." ”
"I already know that, you'd better have other clues."
Wu Jiu was dissatisfied, the bull he just bragged about yesterday wanted to be punctured today, but that wouldn't work.
"Yes, but you can just let me inquire about the tree." Niu Kelian's eyes rolled.
Wu Jiu showed his signature bewitching smile and instructed Wu Ning: "Go and call the Black Mountain down, it's time for breakfast." ”
"Wait."
Niu Kelian's face changed greatly, and he said quickly: "The reason why the tree was cut down was because it was unlucky, I heard that a child first injured his eye, and then fell and killed a person, that's all I can hear, if it's okay, I'll leave first, no need to send it." ”
As soon as the words fell, he ran out of the store like a frightened rabbit, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Wu Ning pinched the empty drink bottle with a shocked expression, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
At this moment, a voice came from inside the screen, and Chen Aicheng woke up.
……
After serving one big and one small breakfast, Wu Ning walked out of the store and dialed the phone with a solemn face.
"Officer Fang, I want to trouble you."
……
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Ning, Wu Jiu, and Chen Aicheng appeared at the door of room 109 of Pengcheng Hotel.
This is Chen Chuliang and Yang Yuxin's temporary foothold, and they don't plan to go back before receiving Chen Aicheng.
"That's it?"
Chen Chuliang opened the door, saw that it was them, and asked sarcastically.
Yang Yuxin was wearing a thin nightdress, the spring light was hard to hide, and her face was sleepy and curious. When she saw Chen Aicheng beside Wu Ning, her face changed greatly, and she hurriedly covered her chest and retreated to the bedroom.
The room they lived in was a suite, with a bedroom and living room separated, and several people sat on the sofa in the living room.
After a while, Yang Yuxin pushed open the bedroom door and walked out, neatly dressed and well-behaved.
Wu Ning felt in his heart that details determine character, and he may have made the common mistake of judging people by their appearance. No matter what Yang Yuxin's motive for marrying Chen Chuliang is, she is not bad for Chen Aicheng.
"Mr. Chen, we have some questions for you." Wu Ning got straight to the point, "But before that, you need to let Cheng Cheng avoid it." ”
Chen Chuliang took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, knocked it twice on the coffee table with the filter face down, and stuffed it into his mouth.
He didn't seem to be surprised by this scene, with a look of loneliness on his face, he said, "Yuxin, you take Cheng Cheng to the bedroom for a while." ”
Chen Aicheng was very sensitive, and noticed that the atmosphere was solemn at this time, although he didn't like Yang Yuxin, he didn't resist anymore.
Yang Yuxin looked surprised, took Chen Aicheng's hand and went back to the bedroom, and closed the door by the way.
"Just ask."
Chen Chuliang's hand rubbed the lighter, and he was not in a hurry to light it, holding a cigarette was more like a habit.
"Your ex-wife, Cheng Yu, is she still alive?" didn't sell Guanzi, Wu Ning hit the nail on the head.
"What do you mean?" Chen Chuliang's hands trembled.
"We found out that a person once fell to death on the tree in your yard, do you know about this?"
Chen Chuliang didn't speak, and his lips began to tremble.
Wu Ning didn't force him, and continued: "After Cheng Cheng's divorce, his mother left R City, and then there was no contact, I think it's strange, the breakdown of marriage does not mean that I have to draw a line with my children, out of curiosity, I asked Officer Fang to help me investigate Cheng Yu." ”
Chen Chuliang's face suddenly turned pale.
"In the past six years, Cheng Yu has not left any traces, travel records, consumption records, and medical records, all of which are gone, and she seems to have disappeared out of thin air."
Wu Ning stared at him solemnly, "I think the police will contact you soon, but before that, I want to hear your statement in person, Cheng Yu, is she still alive?" ”
Click, Chen Chuliang trembled and pressed the lighter.
A thick, choking puff of smoke rose up, the smoke half-covering his face, and his expression of pain.
"She was the one who fell and died under the tree six years ago."
Cheng Yu didn't go to work after giving birth to a child and became a full-time housewife, and after the accident, she was sad and blamed herself. At that time, Chen Chuliang was on a business trip in the field, and rushed back as soon as he got the news, he was tired and angry, he didn't control his emotions well, and said something excessive.
Cheng Yu has been in a slump since then, and the couple had frequent conflicts, and finally agreed to divorce.
The huge mental pressure caused Cheng Yu to suffer from sleepwalking, and often did some weird and dangerous behaviors, and Chen Aicheng's sentence to his father was also related to this.
The night before moving, Cheng Yu had a sleepwalking attack, climbed the treetops in a daze, and finally jumped and died on the spot.
"You didn't call the police."
Chen Chuliang buried his head deeply: "No, the divorce hurt Cheng Cheng a lot, and he just suffered such a big injury." Xiao Yu's death will make him completely devastated, and I dare not risk it. ”
"What about Cheng Yu's corpse?"
"I buried Xiao Yu under that tree, and then cut down the tree, because that tree, our home, was scattered."
did not let Chen Aicheng return to his old address and did not let him contact his mother, not because of resentment, but because he was afraid that he would learn the truth and would not be able to stand the blow.
Figuring out everything, Wu Ning's heart was heavy.
Suddenly there was a roar like a wounded young beast from the bedroom, "Go away-"
"Oops." Wu Ning chuckled in his heart, Chen Aicheng's eyes couldn't see, but the remaining four senses were very developed, could it be that he heard what he said just now?
Immediately after, Yang Yuxin's panicked voice sounded: "Cheng Cheng, be obedient, put the knife down, Cheng ...... Ahh
Another short scream.
The three of them quickly opened the bedroom door, just in time to see Chen Aicheng frantically waving the knife in his hand and slashing through Yang Yuxin's arm.
"Be careful."
Wu Ning rushed to the front, closest to Yang Yuxin, and hurriedly stepped forward to cover her injured arm.
Chen Chuliang stepped forward to restrain his son and snatched the knife.
"Are you alright?"
Wu Ning thought that he would touch the red hand, but who knew that the blade was too short, and only cut Yang Yuxin's clothes. Her hands were slippery to the touch, and she was scared out of sweat.
"No, it's fine." Yang Yuxin patted his chest with palpitations, the surging white waves pierced Wu Ning's eyes, and he quickly looked away.
Yu Guang caught a glimpse of her white shoulders tattooed with a few letters, usually blocked by her clothes, so she didn't pay attention.
Wu Ning is even more suspicious, why did the tattooed woman with a big face and brainless Internet celebrity choose a decadent middle-aged man who is divorced and has children?
Chen Chuliang had already snatched the knife and threw it aside, it was a decorative knife hanging on the keychain, the blade was very short but sharp.
Without the murder weapon, Chen Aicheng was like a puppet whose soul had been drained, and he collapsed in an instant, muttering in his mouth: "I want my mother, you are a liar, I hate you......"
And sure enough, he heard it all.
"Cheng Cheng, listen to Dad's explanation......" Chen Chuliang had just said a few words when there was a knock on the door.
Without waiting for everyone to react, the door was directly opened by the room attendant, and several people in police uniforms quickly poured in, and the leader was Fang Haoran.
"Mr. Chen Chuliang, you have been arrested on suspicion of murdering Ms. Cheng Yu."
