Chapter 52: My name is not Conan, my name is Corot
There are three ex-boyfriends left, one is Li Ke, a married man in his thirties who has a baby face; One is Pu Weiyou, who is still in the third year of high school in Lushi No. 3 Middle School; One is a waiter at the prince's bar, Wan Qixiao, who is only twenty-three years old.
"Oh, is it really missing? I thought she was playing missing! ”
"It was she who proposed to break up, I can't wait for it, she is too noisy, possessive, she stepped on a few boats, and forced me to divorce my wife, I had already mentioned breaking up, who knew that she didn't agree, and all kinds of tosses."
"It's a little different, what's the difference? From a swinger to a chaste girl, I wanted to break up, who knew she wouldn't even let me touch my hair, maybe I'm really tired of me, okay, I originally wanted to have a thrill, play with her, who knew that I was entangled by her, and now I'm finally light. ”
After answering Corot's question, Lick lit a cigarette and left.
"Aside from his style, he shouldn't have anything to do with Maisie's disappearance." Corot analyzed.
"Maisie is really unprincipled and bottomless when she has a boyfriend, she knows that someone else has a wife, and she has to intervene, doesn't she know that it is because of those little threes, four and five that her parents divorced?" Hu Yi said indignantly.
Qin Li touched her head and said, "Her values and morals have long been distorted in that kind of original family. ”
"Maisie, she is a typical fringe girl, so it's not for nothing that she's missing." Corot added.
Hu Yi sighed and didn't speak anymore, but he felt that along the way, the original worry and sympathy for Maisie became a little angry and helpless.
She knew that she couldn't be blamed for it, it had to do with her parents and the surrounding environment, but she just felt uncomfortable.
As if seeing through Hu Yi's mood, Qin Qi held her hand and said softly: "There are actually not many girls like Maisie, you don't have to invest too much personal emotions into it, our task is to find her, not to evaluate her as a person." ”
Hu Yi looked at Qin Qi and nodded.
Subsequently, they called the youngest ex-boyfriend, Pu Weiyou, who was only 18 years old, in for questioning.
Maybe he is young, Pu Weiyou looks tender and tender, and the baby fat on his face has not faded, and he looks like an ignorant teenager who doesn't know the world.
He and Maisie met in a game of chicken, and after chatting, the two felt opportunistic and quickly met each other.
They are not so much lovers as playmates, and every time Maisie asks him out, she takes him to amusement parks, game halls, and Internet cafes to play, and most importantly, the relationship between the two is also very pure, except for pulling small hands, there is no further physical contact.
"Sister Mei was very kind to me, gave me a lot of pocket money, and also hired a very expensive tutor for me to help me with my homework. She told me to study hard and be admitted to universities outside the province in the future, not to nest in such a small place as Lushi. ”
"We didn't break up, and it wasn't a breakup, because we were never lovers, but after she came back this time, the whole person became very weak, and she said that she would be autistic for a while, so I didn't contact her for the time being, and then contact me when she recovered, but... But she's gone..."
Speaking of this, Pu Weiyou suddenly whimpered, and seemed to be really sad.
After Corot comforted him for a few words, he let him leave, and then said to Qin Li and Hu Yi: "Maisie treats him as a younger brother, not a boyfriend." ”
"Yes, I think that's the case too, in fact, Maisie is quite lonely, although there are so many boyfriends, but few are sincere to her, of course, she is not very sincere to others." Hu nodded and said.
"I pay more attention to the last one, Wan Qixiao, the waiter at the prince's bar." Qin Bai said.
"It's the Prince Bar again, doesn't Chubby suspect that Maisie and Rose, the resident singer of the Prince Bar, are inserting lilies? Just ask him. Corot said.
Wan Qixiao is tall and thin, and his temperament is quite alienated, he seems to be very cold, but as soon as he opens his mouth, he knows that he is a person.
"Maisie and I didn't know each other, so I slept a few times, and she was very generous and tipped me a lot every time. She didn't break up with me, she just didn't contact me anymore, but we would still meet at the bar, nod, say hello or something, and she would still tip me generously. ”
"That's what I said to the police, and you must have gotten a confession from the police, so there's really no need to call me here again, of course, not to delay my time, but to delay the time of all the handsome guys and beauties."
"Rose is your resident singer, right?" Corot asked.
"Yes, oh, by the way, after Maisie came back, she seemed to be getting closer to Rose, not only came to cheer every Friday, but also made an appointment with Rose alone, and invited her to have a supper or something, but Rose generally refuses, she is quite principled, she will not get too close to the guests, at most, after the singing, she will have a drink with Maisie, and she will pay for the treat, and she will never use Maisie's money." Wan Qixiao said.
"So are they on good terms?" Corot asked.
"Hmm... How to say it, with Rose's cold personality, it can be regarded as getting close to Maisie, but it is not a good relationship. Wan Qixiao touched his chin and said.
"Does Rose sing at your bar every Friday?" Corot asked again.
"Yes, eight to ten." Wan Qixiao nodded.
It seemed that he couldn't ask for more clues, so Corot let Wan Qixiao leave.
"Tomorrow is Friday, if you want to come to Rose and ask my name, the drink will be 20% off!" Before leaving, Wan Qixiao said to the other three.
"Yes, definitely!" Corot nodded.
"None of these three seem to have any suspicions, but it's that Rose, I'm getting more and more interested, shall we go to the Prince's Bar tomorrow night?" Hu Yi blinked and looked at the other two.
"Well, it's past five o'clock, let's go meet that student, and we can have dinner." Qin Qi raised his hand and glanced at his watch and said.
Ke Luo took the contact information given by Wei Yang and dialed the number of the top student.
"Hello? Hello, is it Chen Xuemei? ”
"Yes, you are?"
"Hello, I'm a private detective hired by Maisie's parents, my surname is Ke, I want to consult you about Maisie, can you meet now?"
"Private detective? Still surnamed Ke? You think you're Conan! ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
"it!"
Corot pinched his phone, shocked and unhappy, although many people questioned the profession of private detective, but they had never been so sarcastic, and he was hung up directly.
Hu Yi held back a smile and said, "Actually, I wanted to ask before, did you become a private detective because your surname is Ke and you like Conan?" ”
After saying that, he laughed out loud.
Seeing that Hu Yi was laughing so happily, Qin Li also laughed.
"Hey, I said you two, that's enough!" Corot looked at the two men with a disgruntled expression.
"Ahem! What should I do if someone thinks you're a liar? Qin Li stopped laughing, raised his eyebrows and looked at Corot, with a teasing expression.
"Humph! Since you don't believe me, I'll let the police find her! ”
Corot dialed the number of a local police officer and asked him to contact Chen Xuemei on his behalf.
More than ten minutes later, a short and fat girl wearing heavy myopic glasses and shrinking her head walked into the cubicle.
"Excuse me, who is Detective Ke?" She said nonchalantly.
"Ahem! I am, though, I'm not called Conan, I'm called Corot. Corot sat up straight and said.
"Sorry, I thought it was a prank."
Chen Xuemei moved in with small steps, glanced at the chairs placed there, and didn't know whether to take the initiative to sit down, or wait for Corot and them to invite them to sit by themselves.
seemed to see her crampedness, Hu Yi said: "It's okay, it's just a misunderstanding, you sit down first, let's talk slowly." ”
"Good.. Ok thanks. ”
After Chen Xuemei straightened the somewhat crooked chair, she raised her hand to wipe the chair cushion before slowly sitting down.
After sitting down, he was still restrained, his legs were together, his hands were between his legs, and he was still trembling slightly.
"Drink water?"
Hu Yi got up and handed Chen Xuemei a bottle of mineral water.
"Thank you."
After Chen Xuemei took it, she unscrewed the cork and poured a few sips.
"Don't be nervous, we'll ask you a few questions about Maisie, our parents have asked her to find her whereabouts." Hu Yi said softly.
"Ahem..."
Hearing Hu Yi's words, Chen Xuemei suddenly choked on the water and coughed vigorously.
"Well, you drink slowly!"
Hu Yi hurriedly raised his hand and patted her on the back, while Qin Li and Ke Luo glanced at each other, feeling that this Chen Xuemei must know something.
Finally stopped coughing, Chen Xuemei showed a grateful smile to Hu Yi, then looked at Qin Li and Ke Luo, and said firmly, "I don't know anything. ”
Corot smiled, "Classmate Chen, we haven't asked yet!" ”
"Oh."
Chen Xuemei rolled her eyes, no longer looking at Ko Luo and them, but staring at the ground, as if she didn't want to be noticed by her micro-expression.
"Maisie is missing, you know?" Corot asked.
"Well, I heard you." Chen Xuemei nodded, still hanging her head, unable to see her expression clearly.
"You had a fight before she disappeared, right?" Corot asked again.
"She beat me, I just complained that she always made a fuss in the middle of the night and affected my sleep, so she beat me." Chen Xuemei hung her head and said.
"Hate her?"
"Huh! If you were humiliated in public, wouldn't you hate? Chen Xuemei raised her head, looked at Corot, and asked rhetorically.
There was still anger in her eyes, and there was unwillingness.
"So, is her disappearance related to you?" Corot raised an eyebrow.
"If I kid up the person who beat me up because I was beaten, then I will learn for nothing in the nine years of compulsory education." Chen Xuemei pushed the frame of her glasses and said.
"How do you know she's been kidnapped and not something else happened? The police have not yet found out whether her disappearance was due to abduction or anything else. Qin Li stared at her eyes and suddenly asked.
"I... Isn't missing a kidnapping? Chen Xuemei clenched the mineral water bottle with both hands, avoiding Qin Li's gaze.
Qin Bai raised his lips and teased: "That's how the nine-year compulsory education is taught? A disappearance is a kidnapping, huh? ”
"I..."
Chen Xuemei suddenly stopped, and the mineral water bottle in her hand had been pinched and deformed by her......
