Chapter 23: Infatuation
It is known that the conditions that a suspect should have are as follows:
First, he has a certain degree of understanding of Fu Sizhe, and even has grievances.
Second, I am familiar with the Huangsha seafood market, know the existence of cold storage, and know the time when Zhang Jianhong leaves the cold storage every day.
Third, the number of people involved in the crime was two.
No matter how Xia Liang thought, he couldn't turn a blind eye to the facts in front of him.
- All the clues in this case quietly led to Fang Qing and Fu Yinger, mother and daughter, who seemed to be the least suspected of murder.
Fang Qing once admitted that she and Fu Sizhe did not have a harmonious relationship.
The Fu'an community where they live happens to be near the Huangsha Seafood Market, and they pass by every day when they go home.
Fu Sizhe lost consciousness due to an overdose of sleeping pills, and whether he was voluntarily or forced, he had to have a hiding place before he fell into a coma and moved to cold storage.
The most critical thing is that although Fang Qing has provided alibi certificates, those alibi certificates are likely to be forged in the eyes of the police.
If any of these alibi proofs could be broken, Fang Qing's confession would be torn apart by a huge breakthrough.
No one thought that things would turn in this direction.
But there is no doubt that now, all the pressure has shifted to Xia Liang's side.
Xia Liang has never been able to forget the look of disbelief on her face when the police rushed to the funeral home to request a new autopsy and informed Fang Qing.
The frightened, hesitant and helpless expression was the same as when he first saw Fu Sizhe's corpse.
At repeated requests from the police, Fu Sizhe's funeral was postponed until this Sunday.
They have a few days left.
The top paid more and more attention to this case, and the task force was already ruthless and boiled eagles, and Xia Liang's team sent more people to Tianhe.
According to Fang Qing's confession, they divided into several routes, went to KFC, urban squares, movie theaters, and subway stations to ask for last Saturday's surveillance video, and began to investigate one by one in shifts.
Fang Qing was wearing a brown windbreaker, and Fu Yinger was wearing a linen-colored sweater and a mask—similar dresses and grooming abound in the crowd of people coming and going.
Zhao Gang received another order to check Fang Qing's confession again, Fang Qing had returned to normal work, and was busy in the Second City Hospital at that time. When colleagues saw the police car parked in the hospital and Fang Qing, who was taken for interrogation, there was a lot of discussion.
Seeing Fang Qing with a haggard face, and thinking that he was disturbing her life, Zhao Gang felt a little worried in his heart. But I repeated many details about what happened on Saturday.
Fang Qing claimed to have misremembered most of the details - after all, it was just an ordinary Saturday for her. She had no idea that her husband would be murdered.
Another day passed, and the police searched like a needle in a haystack carpet and found nothing.
The alibi provided by Fang Qing seemed to be crumbling like a withered branch in a storm, but it could not be falsified after all.
No one wants to see such a situation.
If it is not proved that it cannot be falsified, no matter how big the suspicion of Fang Qing and Fu Yinger is, it is impossible to make more progress.
At present, the task force has no way out.
They tried to investigate the beggars around Huangsha, but the security guard, Liu Zhongwei, could not clearly describe the beggar's appearance, and no one paid attention to the difference between the beggars on the street and other beggars, so the route had to be abandoned.
They have also tried to investigate the source of chloroform, a chemical used in industry that requires proper documentation to be purchased. But the police have searched the entire yellow sand, and there is no record of recent sales of chloroform.
If the mother and daughter really have nothing to do with the case, they will once again be caught in a cycle of no goal.
Xia Liang sat in the office of the police station, rubbed his eyebrows, and once again pulled the progress bar of the surveillance video back to the beginning.
He couldn't remember how many times he had rewatched the footage.
He couldn't concentrate anymore. Suddenly, I thought about a lot of things.
He thought what Zhu Ansheng would be doing at this time, and if it was him, what direction would he start investigating. I think that my brother-in-law hasn't slept for two days, I'm afraid I'm making up for sleep at this time.
He thought of Fu Ying'er and Fang Qing again. The pair of red eyes in his mind, the trembling body lingered.
In terms of legal theory, he did not rule out the possibility that his relatives might commit the crime. But his intuition told him that Fang Qing should not be a murderer.
The only thing that can support this idea is the confession of security guard Liu Zhongwei.
Because Liu Zhongwei was very sure that it was an old beggar who led him to the cold storage and attacked him from behind.
With the strength of the mother and daughter alone, even if the friction of the cold storage is used, it is quite difficult to push the heavy shelves.
The two murderers who have not yet surfaced should have an adult man.
Since an adult man was involved in the crime, the mother and daughter should have nothing to do with it.
Xia Liang thought about it and chatted for comfort.
But what he didn't expect was that just one day later, his speculation was completely overturned.
……
Fang Qing had never thought that life would be such a difficult thing.
A few years ago, the peaceful and stable life was like a dream bubble, falling apart.
For the sake of her family, she swallowed her anger, picked up the nurse certificate she had just graduated, started over as a full-time mother, returned to work, worked as a nurse in the hospital during the day, and worked part-time in a pharmacy at night.
There is no need to repeat the hardships here. She kept comforting herself that this was for her daughter, not to compensate for Fu Sizhe's faults.
Until Fu Sizhe passed away quietly and irresponsibly, she felt that the life she had been struggling to maintain collapsed in an instant.
Fu Sizhe could lie in the morgue regardless of it, and Fang Qing, who was still alive, had to sacrifice his life for this fragile family.
She couldn't sleep these nights, washing her face with tears. I really feel that survival is more painful and requires more courage than death.
If she hadn't loved her daughter deeply, she would have had the idea of dying like this, a hundred times.
Ying'er hasn't finished reading yet, and the future of their mother and daughter is still bleak, but the impact of Fu Sizhe's death has not yet subsided, constantly eating away at the last hope in her life.
Today, the policeman named Zhao Gang broke into the hospital, and when she heard the discussion of her colleagues, she was discouraged for a moment.
She leaned against the wall of the disinfection room, looking at her puffy eyes in the mirror, and the sadness in her heart continued to ferment.
She slowly stretched out her hands and propped them up on the sink, bowing her head against the mirror.
There was a chill on his forehead.
"Nurse Fang."
"Nurse Fang."
A familiar voice rang in my ears a few times. She came back to her senses and straightened up a little hastily.
Dr. Gao...... I'm so embarrassed...... Do you want to wash your hands? ”
Dr. Gao in front of her is the attending physician who is her partner, and he is actually the same age as her, less than forty. Sword eyebrows and starry eyes, tall and handsome.
He is a top student of the Medical University, and after graduation, he was directly transferred to the second hospital of the city to work, with outstanding achievements, and it is not surprising that he should be the next director of the medical department.
Dr. Gao is not only excellent in medical skills, but also has no arrogance in speaking on weekdays, and is very gentle and considerate, and many young nurses secretly agree with him. Fang Qing is also extremely gentle towards his partner.
He always knew his family's situation, and a part-time job at a pharmacy was also a job opportunity that he introduced.
Dr. Gao looked straight at her and sighed silently. Fang Qing was a little apprehensive in her heart.
"I've heard about your family."
Fang Qing let out a low "ah".
"Sorry...... I'm a bit out of shape today......"
"I'm not here to count you down." Dr. Gao took out a pack of tissues from his coat and handed it to Fang Qing.
"Wipe your eyes."
Fang Qing saw her red eyes in the mirror, and her face turned red.
"Thank you......"
"Nurse Fang, this kind of thing happened at home, and I feel sorry for you." Doctor Gao pondered the language and pursed his lips:
"At least, it's not you who did the wrong thing. Hope you can cheer up. ”
"Thank you......" Fang Qing didn't know what to say, seeing his sincere attitude, his eyes flickered a little. Thinking of so many colleagues, only he cares about himself, not gossiping about his private affairs, and his heart is sad and warm. Then he whispered again:
"Really...... Thank you. ”
"Nurse Fang, you don't have a part-time job tonight, do you?"
“…… Yes, it's a shift for another colleague at the pharmacy today. ”
"In that case, when you get off work, how about accompanying me to dinner, you haven't eaten much during this time, have you?"
Fang Qing was stunned and hurriedly said:
"How can this work......
"You should be your boss to comfort your work performance, and let's engage in team building." Dr. Gao smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered his voice again, and said with concern:
"Nurse Fang, it's not a way to keep going like this. If I could, I would like to change your mood. If you stay somewhere else for a while, you might be able to think about it. ”
Fang Qing was speechless, raised his head, looked into his sincere eyes, and his heart was beating non-stop.
She actually knew Dr. Gao's mind. Just can't respond.
For several years, Dr. Gao has been celibate.
He was gentle with others, and even more so with her.
When she was not old, she occasionally regretted that she got married at a young age in the days when she was completely desperate to deal with Sizhe.
Although she has never regretted giving birth to Fu Yinger, she has always felt that her life is not complete. Fu Sizhe's cowardly and introverted personality made her fantasy of love exhausted by the passage of time year by year.
Now that Fu Sizhe is also dead, all she is left with is endless pain and trouble, and even survival has become dancing on the tip of a knife.
When will such days end, will she wither all the way to the end of her life?
Dr. Gao, just invite yourself to dinner. Ying'er is going to film tonight, so she won't go home for dinner......
"Mr. Demon" also said that he wanted their mother and daughter to live as normal as possible. Ordinary state - if the boss is inviting guests to dinner, it may not be appropriate not to go.
When she thought of this, Fang Qing's heart felt bitter, she knew that when she was trying her best to find a reason to go to this dinner, she was really moved.
She gritted her teeth and quietly clenched her fists.
"If, only tonight......"
