Chapter 3: The Unexpected Room
A group of people came to 1906, just look at the decoration of the living room, you can see the intentions of the people, refined and elegant, this is the first impression left on Lin Yuan Temple.
"Excuse me, is this Mrs. Zhang, have you been taking care of it? Look at the style in the room..."
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled bitterly, she understood what Lin Yuansi meant. "My husband's clothes are indeed too extravagant." Mrs. Zhang paused and continued. However, Officer Lin was only half right. It was a gift from my husband for my anniversary ten years ago, but now, I hardly come to this place. ”
"Really? Why is that? Lin Yuansi's eyes lit up suddenly.
Liu Zhilian hesitated for a moment, as if she was hesitating to speak. "Actually... Even if I don't say it, you'll find out, and besides, there's nothing to hide. It's just that they are all old husbands and wives, and they are still separated and divorced, and they are afraid that you will laugh if they say it. ”
Really.
Lin Yuansi secretly thought in his heart, maybe the good feelings were just a deliberately created illusion.
"What's this, divorce isn't a big deal now. Isn't there a saying that 'the world is so chaotic, I just want to be quiet'? Mrs. Zhang, don't take it too seriously. Lin Yuansi deliberately joked, wanting to ease the atmosphere.
"Hehe... Thank you, Officer Lin, for being so considerate. In fact... The separation is also out of the will of the two of us, maybe it is really that we have been together for a long time and dislike each other, so even the separation has become natural.
"But you're not disgusted with Mr. Zhang, are you?" Lin Yuansi said tentatively, he wanted to know how much this woman was hiding.
Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang smiled awkwardly. "Actually, it's not disgust, it's just that I gradually feel alienated, so separation has become a matter of course."
"I don't think so, just now Mrs. Zhang, you actually used such a strong word as 'disgust', which means that you once had such thoughts. Looking at your attitude towards Mr. Zhang just now, I intuitively judged that it was not acting, it was your true feelings, and you were really sad and sad about Mr. Zhang's death. Lin Yuansi looked at the other party's somewhat surprised expression and continued.
Perhaps, Liu Zhilian didn't expect Lin Yuansi to observe and even doubt herself all the time.
"Since it's not you, it must be your husband. Maybe he doesn't find it, but in your subconscious, you can feel that he 'loaths' you. Sorry, I don't want to put that much on it. Realizing that his words might have an element of harm, Lin Yuansi stopped.
Liu Zhilian didn't refute anything, just nodded slightly.
"The two of you must have been through a lot for so long, and I don't think it's a trivial matter that will make you feel this way, Mrs. Zhang. I'm sorry, but the most likely scenario I can imagine is sexual intercourse. After Lin Yuansi finished speaking, he stared directly at this Liu Zhilian, wanting to see the other party's first reaction.
Liu Zhilian saw Lin Yuansi's temptation and smiled bitterly, her face looked a little pale.
"Officer Lin, you're right, we have some problems in our married life. But this is our privacy, and I don't think it should have anything to do with this case. Liu Zhilian cheered up and said.
It seems that she is not so weak as she seems. Lin Yuansi thought.
"That's right, but the next question may be related."
"What does Officer Lin want to say?"
"Then what I said just now, it should be Mr. Zhang's unilateral dissatisfaction with Mrs. Zhang, that is... Allow me to be blunt. In other words, Mr. Zhang has a need in that regard. In this case, I would like to ask Mrs. Zhang if she knows if Mr. Zhang has a regular date, or... Lover. ”
"Officer Lin!" Even Liu Zhilian, who had a good cultivation, finally couldn't help but burst out, with a look of anger. "Please don't go too far, it is indeed our duty to cooperate with the police, but you are so disrespectful, please forgive me for not being able to provide any help, if you continue to ask like this, I'm afraid I will ask my lawyer to be there!"
In an instant, Liu Zhilian's aura was completely different, just now she had been perfectly playing the role of a knowledgeable surviving person, but now, the image of a strong woman with a strong aura has surfaced.
Lin Yuansi raised the corners of his mouth without a trace.
"Mrs. Zhang, please bear with me if you are offended. But there is one fact that you cannot afford not to admit..."
Lin Yuansi stopped and looked at Liu Zhilian in front of him. No matter how much makeup is used to cover it, the fine lines on this woman's face are clearly visible.
"What facts?" Perhaps she had regained her senses, Liu Zhilian's tone was much softer than just now.
"Whether you admit it or not, I believe that you must have investigated Mr. Zhang in private, am I right? So, whether Mr. Zhang died for this reason, I think you must have the most right to speak. ”
Lin Yuansi's statement is very cunning, he will not force a wife to say who her husband is having an affair with. But he can judge whether the surviving person will have the idea or urge to kill her husband based on Mrs. Zhang's attitude and reaction.
"It's not... My husband wouldn't have been killed for that. After a short silence, Liu Zhilian spoke. She had indeed investigated her husband's dating partners, and she knew all about them. But she didn't expect this policeman to ask so bluntly.
Liu Zhilian didn't understand what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd, but she intuitively felt that Lin Yuansi still believed her words a little.
"Well, I take your word for it. I'm sorry for you today, Mrs. Zhang, let's go here first, and if you have any questions, we'll visit you. ”
It's finally over, Liu Zhilian secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the policeman in front of her is pressing step by step, so that you can't relax at all. His eyes are staring at you like a falcon, not letting go of the slightest, which makes people feel oppressed.
Lin Yuansi sent Liu Zhilian to the hall on the first floor, ready to see her leave, but suddenly remembered something.
"Mrs. Zhang, please stay, I have one more question, I hope you can answer it for me."
Although she was a little surprised, Liu Zhilian quickly returned to normal. "Officer Lin, please speak."
"I don't know if Mrs. Zhang has noticed that the elevator in this building is only built to the 19th floor, and if you want to go up again, you need to take the stairs."
"That's right."
"I've never figured this out. But Mr. Zhang, as the developer of this phase of the property, single-handedly contributed to the property. So I want to say, will Mrs. Zhang know the reason why the elevator is not repaired to the top floor? ”
"This... I don't ask about my husband's work, let alone the project more than ten years ago, and I am afraid that even if I want to check the information for verification, it will be difficult. So..."Liu Zhilian looked embarrassed, and it didn't look like she was lying.
"Okay, I see. So has Mrs. Zhang ever visited the homeowners of other buildings? Is this how other buildings are constructed? ”
"I've visited a lot of people in the same building, but I haven't been to other buildings. However, as far as I know, this building seems to be the tallest building in this phase of the project, and everything else is slightly lower than here, but I don't know the exact data, so I don't know how to answer your question. Sorry it didn't help. ”
"It's okay, it's just that I want to be lazy. I'm sorry for you today, go slowly. Lin Yuansi said, smiling embarrassedly.
Looking at Liu Zhilian's distant back, Lin Yuansi knew that this woman was not simple, and she must still have a lot of secrets hidden in her body.
Back in 1906, only Shi Lei and Chen Xi were left in the room.
Lin Yuansi fell on the sofa slightly tired and exhaled deeply. "This woman is really not simple."
"yes, it's not easy to tire you like this."
"Hey, stone, why do I think you're hurting me and talking about the wind?" When Lin Yuansi heard this, he bounced up from the sofa and casually put his arm on Shi Lei's shoulder.
"Look at you like this, you know it's just pretended." Shi Lei said coldly.
"You can pull it down, I'm so tired that I'm choking." Lin Yuansi said as he looked at Chen Xi, who was sitting beside him without a sense of existence. "Hey, why are you here, your job is done?"
was named by the captain, and Chen Xi stood up from the sofa with a "whoosh". "Report to the captain, no one has assigned me a task." As he spoke, he didn't forget to salute.
Hearing this, Lin Yuansi was about to faint, and it seemed necessary to think carefully about whether to leave this person behind.
"If you don't arrange it, you won't work, won't you find your own work? This is the first case you've been involved in, so don't you want to put it on a good show? Do you think this is still a school, I am your teacher, and everything has to wait for me to arrange? ”
"I... Sorry Captain, I was wrong. I'm going to find a job! After Chen Xi finished speaking, he looked eager to start work immediately.
"Okay, okay, let's not take it as an example, instead of you making trouble everywhere like a headless fly, I'll arrange one for you."
"Thank you, Captain!" Chen Xi listened and smiled like a child.
"You go and investigate the lover of Mrs. Zhang just now, find out his basic situation, and then see when these two people started, and then see what they were busy with yesterday. Do you understand? ”
"But... Mrs. Zhang's lover? Chen Xi thought he had misheard and repeated it.
"That's right, Mrs. Zhang's lover, OK? Did you hear me clearly? Lin Yuansi looked helpless.
"I heard it clearly, but isn't it only Mr. Zhang who has a lover, why does Mrs. Zhang also have it?"
Looking at Chen Xi's confused face, Lin Yuansi sighed in his heart, he was really stunned.
Shi Lei on the side looked interested and looked at the two.
"It looks like if I don't make it clear to you, you're not going to investigate." Lin Yuansi sighed.
"First of all, I don't know if you have ever observed the ring on the deceased's hand, it is a pair of rings on Mrs. Zhang's hand, and it can be assumed that it is a wedding ring. As for why the deceased chose to continue to wear the ring after separation, we will not investigate it for the time being, probably because we don't want the outside world to know about it for the time being, so we have done enough superficial work. Secondly, the position of the ring finger of Mrs. Zhang's left hand has been put on the ring, but in the upper part of the ring, you can still see the traces of a small circle with a light color that has not been exposed to the sun. ”
"Then why... Will there be? Chen Xi still didn't understand.
"In other words, the ring I wore before must have been taken off and temporarily put on the wedding ring, as for the traces on the top of the wedding ring, I speculate that Mrs. Zhang's fingers were thicker than now when she got married, so there will be a situation where the ring will slide downward, and there is no way to cover the traces well."
"Is it possible to infer a lover from this alone? What if it's just a ring that you're used to? Chen Xi expressed the doubts in his heart.
"You also said that if it's just a ring that you are used to wearing, is it necessary to take it off and replace it with a ring that is already too large? Obviously, I want to cover up something, and the most direct thing should be the fear of being found out that my ring is not the same as my husband's. And the marks are relatively white, slightly black around, and they will only appear after wearing them for a certain period of time. So I concluded that this mysterious lover must have been dating Mrs. Zhang for a long time. Lin Yuansi said, his face full of a confident smile, which was a sign of his confidence in his reasoning.
"That's what it looks like. I see, I'm going to look it up! After hearing this, Chen Xi looked suddenly enlightened, and admired Lin Yuan Temple even more.
After Chen Xi left, only Lin Yuansi and Shi Lei remained.
"Hey, the newcomers now, they have to teach everything, and they don't open their minds at all." Lin Yuansi said, stretching his waist, looking lazy. "Stone, what's next?"
Shi Lei glanced at Lin Yuansi and said coldly. "Back to the game, dissect."
"Don't worry, let's rest here, it's hot outside.
As a result, Shi Lei didn't say a word, got up silently, and walked towards the door.
"Hey, stone, don't go so fast, wait for me!"
Behind Shi Lei, there was the sound of Lin Yuansi's hurried footsteps.
