Chapter 6: The Wedding Banquet (2)
After Ren Zhengyu reacted in time and contacted the police, it didn't take long for several police cars to stop in front of the hotel, and through the comparison of the guest list, the identity of the victim was quickly determined.
The name is Li Wenhua, a 35-year-old middle-aged man, is the husband of Yao Qiubai's junior high school English teacher Yin Shulan, the couple was invited to participate in this dinner, when the guests were still drinking and chatting, Li Wenhua suddenly said that the voice in the hall was too noisy to answer the phone outside, no one cared and went with him, when Yin Shulan waited and waited without waiting for her husband to come back and went out, but did not expect such an unfortunate thing to happen.
Yin Shulan hid her face and cried very heartbroken, Yao Qiubai and Lin Yike both comforted her, "Originally, there were only two of us in the family who depended on each other, how can I live alone in the future." Who the hell was so excessive that he pushed him downstairs! ”
"Ms. Yin, there is no evidence to conclude that Mr. Li was pushed down......" Ren Zhengyu frowned.
"So you mean, my husband went out to answer a phone call, and then fell down on his own while walking?!" Yin Shulan was obviously dissatisfied with such a result, and her stern tone was very angry.
"I didn't say that." Ren Zhengyu covered his head with a headache.
Wei Yang stepped forward at this time, "Ms. Yin, we are also sorry for Mr. Li's death, although we can understand your feelings, but even if you blindly deduce the conclusion, it is not wise, the cause of Mr. Li's death, our police will investigate clearly and then give you a satisfactory answer." ”
Ren Zhengyu looked at Wei Yang with a little more gratitude, such a thing happened when he got married, not to mention how bad his mood was at the moment.
At this time, a police officer came over with a transparent plastic bag and handed it to Ren Zhengyu, "Officer Ren, this is the victim's mobile phone." ”
Ren Zhengyu took the phone and flipped through the call records inside, the latest call was two days ago, and it was still an advertising salesman. Neither QQ nor WeChat would make Li Wenhua have to go out to answer the phone.
"Could it have been deleted?" Wei Yang raised his doubts.
Ren Zhengyu shook his head, "Even if the call history or chat history is deleted, there is a way to restore it on the spot, so it will be easy to expose who the prisoner is, so there is no need to do more." ”
"Where's the hotel's surveillance footage?"
"It's unfortunate that there was a blind spot there, and Mr. Li's death was not filmed."
"All in all, if you are not sure who the prisoner is, it is better not to rush everyone back." Wei Yang glanced at the nearly 100 guests present and reminded Ren Zhengyu softly.
"That's right, but it's likely to cause displeasure among the guests."
Ren Zhengyu's worries were not groundless, seeing that they couldn't discuss the results for a long time, many guests had already begun to become impatient.
The commotion in the crowd is getting bigger and bigger, Yao Qiubai and Ren Zhengyu's parents are already trying their best to appease the guests, but this is really not the way, Ren Zhengyu briefly explained the current situation to Yao Qiubai, and when she learned that the prisoner might still be in the venue, she fidgeted and fainted in Lin Yike's arms.
"Xiaobai, are you okay?"
An Keqing found that Lin Yike's face was not very good, but she still forced a smile to comfort Yao Qiubai, who didn't know what to do, Ren Zhengyu glanced at the people in the venue in distress, if there were other clues.
There are too many guests, many of them are their related households, if they are interrogated one by one in the normal order, it will not only waste a lot of time, but also attract the dissatisfaction of the guests, which is not good for the future, which is also Ren Zhengyu's most helpless problem.
"If I had known that I wouldn't have come to participate like this, my husband wouldn't have died." Yin Shulan collapsed and knelt on the ground, "What a wedding, the funeral is almost the same!" ”
An Keqing frowned slightly, and then took a sip of wine, she really couldn't stand it anymore, "Teacher Yin, is what you said a little too much." ”
She, Lin Yike and Yao Qiubai, have known classmates for more than ten years since junior high school, and An Keqing naturally knows how Yin Shulan usually behaves, even if she is a former teacher, she should know what to say and what not to say.
"Am I excessive? Anyone present may be the murderer who pushed my husband downstairs, although I don't know what your purpose is, but I swear that as long as I am alive, I will definitely strangle my husband's murderer alive! ”
"An Keqing, it's not your turn to talk cool here, when Ms. Yin's husband had an accident, I remember that you weren't in the venue. So where did you go and what did you do during that time? ”
It was Yao Qiubai's high school classmate Tang Jinwen who said this, she forcibly pulled Yao Qiubai out of Lin Yike's arms and protected her behind her, looking at them vigilantly, "Xiaobai, don't worry, only I am your only friend." ”
"Hey! What do you mean when this woman suddenly interjects! Lin Yike was also angry and wanted to pull Yao Qiubai back, but was stopped by Tang Jinwen.
"I mean, before there is no evidence that you are not the murderer, Xiaobai's friend is only me, after all, from the time I entered the door to the present, my alibi can be witnessed by everyone."
"Who said there is no evidence, I have always been by Xiaobai's side!"
"But not all the time, is it?" Tang Jinwen said with a smile, "As a bride, naturally there are many steps that need to be carried out in the ceremony at the wedding, and you are neither a bridesmaid nor a groomsman, where have you always been?" ”
Tang Jinwen was right, they really had no evidence to prove themselves, although Lin Yike knew this, as long as he saw Tang Jinwen's triumphant smile, he couldn't get angry.
"That's enough, Arwen. Coco and Xiaoqing are not murderers, they have no reason to do this, and I believe them, they are determined not to harm me. ”
Yao Qiubai pushed Tang Jinwen away and returned to Lin Yike's side, hearing her say this, Tang Jinwen just "sighed" and gritted his teeth secretly, not looking at Lin Yike's provocative smile, and pointed at An Keqing, "Even if Xiaobai you say so, it is a fact that An Keqing left the venue at that time!" ”
"I was there when An Keqing was away, and I took her to rest, and she drank a lot." Wei Yang said at this time.
"Oh, that's good, An Keqing, you have a boyfriend police officer to support you."
Wei Yang just wanted to speak, but An Keqing stopped him, looked at Tang Jinwen unaffected, and said expressionlessly, "Yes." I can understand how you want to protect Xiaobai from harm, but I'm curious, why are you so anxious to point the finger at us? ”
