"I see, I'm sorry I didn't know until today, but I rarely mention the friends he met outside." Qiao Yuqing explained embarrassedly.

"I understand... Understandable. I smiled awkwardly to ease the atmosphere and continued to ask, "What kind of illness does Xiao Ke have?" Is it serious? How long will I stay in the hospital? ”

The series of questions made Qiao Yuqing at a loss, and she seemed to be thinking about which one to answer first.

"It may be a while, why don't you leave a contact information, I'll tell him when he comes back."

"Okay."

Qiao Yuqing got up to get a pen, and I took out my mobile phone and quietly took a few photos of the room.

I thought to myself: Lu Lingyun always likes to emphasize evidence or something, maybe these pieces of furniture can leave any clues, as long as we find the conflict between Qiao Yuqing's testimony, even if she wants to hide it, I'm afraid it won't be so easy.

What kind of relationship does this woman in her early thirties have with a fifty-four-year-old gangster?

While I was thinking, Qiao Yuqing walked back, she put the prepared white paper and pencil in front of me, and when she bent over, the long hair in her ears hung down, and she subconsciously raised her hand to pull it up.

That's when I noticed a long scar on the inside of her left wrist, and the raised folds showed the extent of the injury in the first place.

She must have cut her wrists and made up her mind to die.

What kind of person is Qiao Yuqing———— is it?

I left my contact information and I didn't have a reason to sit at her house, but when I was about to leave, there was a knock on the door.

I just put my shoes on and stood in the hallway, feeling a little overwhelmed.

"Hello! The Public Security Bureau wanted to know about the situation, so please open the door. The people outside opened their mouths first, and I saw Qiao Yuqing beside me obviously nervous.

I pointed to the door without a squeak, and she shook her head in a little panic.

Oh~~ I don't want the police to know that there are people in the house, so I show that I am a thief.

"Anyone? Bang bang bang · A few more urgings.

I pretended to cooperate but slowly leaned back and knocked the trinkets on the shoe cabinet down.

With a piercing cracking sound, things scattered all over the ground, and I looked at the woman's face with wide eyes and helplessness, signaling to her that I really didn't mean to.

The police outside the door heard the noise and confirmed that there was someone in the house, and Qiao Yuqing had to open the door.

Two uniformed police officers looked at us and pulled out their ID cards to identify themselves.

"Hello, is it Ms. Qiao Yuqing?"

"I am."

"We are from the Chengbei Branch, please come with us, or about the burglary and homicide case at the beginning of the year."

"Isn't the case closed?"

One of the police officers calmly explained: "We have found evidence to prove that you and the victim Guan Yonghui know each other, so now we need you to go to the substation to cooperate with the investigation." ”

My eyes kept staring at Qiao Yuqing, and her face became worse and worse.

"Wait until I get a coat when I come inside." She turned slowly as she spoke, her heavy footsteps dragging on the ground as if they had been filled with lead.

It didn't take long for Qiao Yuqing to appear in front of everyone, she was wearing a light gray down jacket, her furry collar wrapped her cheeks, and she looked like that kind of weak and pitiful woman.

The two police officers took her downstairs by elevator, and I followed behind until I watched Qiao Yuqing get into the police car.

The old people walking downstairs in the community talked about her, after all, she was a new neighbor and probably didn't know much, so she said everything.

I pulled out my phone and tried to call Kaneko, but suddenly I received a call from Kaneko.

"Xiaoyan, I really admire you too much, Qiao Yuqing does have a problem, I asked my colleagues from the Chengbei Branch to investigate again, and guess what?"

I said smoothly: "Qiao Yuqing was taken away by your colleagues in the North District of the city in front of me. ”

"You're looking for her?"

"yes, I'm just too curious to control it."

"The army is not at home, you have to go to the house to uncover the tiles, okay, you wait for me there, and I will drive you to the substation in a while."

I was standing on the side of the road when I hung up, feeling a little heavy.

I've always thought I'm a pretty smart person, but now I'm getting more and more incomprehensible, and I'm full of questions about Qiao Yuqing, eager to know whether she is a wolf in sheep's clothing, or a sheep who has lived enough.

Teddy Kim drove his car to the place we agreed upon, on the way to the Chengbei Branch, and he told me about the clues he had found.

Yesterday evening, Jin Taidi and the public security officers of Chengbei District conducted an investigation and visit near the place of the crime, because nearly a year has passed since the case, and many materials cannot be reused, especially the monitoring equipment, which generally only stores data for about 3 months.

Kaneko accidentally saw a home camera at a convenience store at the gate of the community, this kind of network-based device, which can store data for a long time, its clarity is not as good as that of professional monitoring equipment, but it can see the general outline.

The police called up the network user information and found that at 6:30 p.m. on January 17, Qiao Yuqing was stopped at the entrance of the community by a man with his back to the convenience store, looking very similar to Guan Yonghui from the figure.

Qiao Yuqing was entangled by the man, and left quickly without knowing what to say.

I think that since the police have found a breakthrough, it is estimated that she will not be able to resist for long before she will confess.

The car drove to the Chengbei District Public Security Bureau, and Kaneko took me to the room next to the interrogation room.

At this time, Qiao Yuqing had been brought in for a while, and she sat calmly and glanced at the wall clock on the wall from time to time.

"Please explain that at 6:30 p.m. on January 17 this year, you obviously saw Guan Yonghui at the gate of your community, why did you say that you had never seen this person after the murder on the 20th?"

"I've already said it, I don't really remember that day."

The police officer handling the case put the photo of the video screenshot on the table, Qiao Yuqing glanced at it and did not panic.

"I'm sorry, I really don't know who this man is, he might just want to ask me about the building number."

"Qiao Yuqing! I hope you can understand that concealment is not good for you, and that confession is lenient and resists strictly. ”

"Comrade policeman, I really don't know what the truth is you want, if you say that I know the thief based on this blurry photo alone, I don't think you are too hasty? I also have to pick up my daughter from kindergarten. ”

I looked at Qiao Yuqing's face through the one-way mirror, she was really too calm, and she didn't have the weak and humble side of a housewife at all.

Kim Teddy, who was standing on the side, frowned and pushed the frame on the bridge of his nose.

I said, "Can you let me in?" I'd like to talk to her. ”

He nodded and left the room to say hello to the leader of the sub-bureau.

When Kaneko returned, he walked with me into the interrogation room.

Qiao Yuqing glanced up at me, looking slightly surprised.

Jin Zi said to the two police officers in the room: "Hello, Director Liu has approved me and Advisor Yan to ask Ms. Qiao a few suspicious points. ”

The police officer stood up and gave up his position, and Jin Zi and I sat opposite Qiao Yuqing.
