Chapter 8: A Chance Encounter in a Cafe
"The day before yesterday was after school at half past five in the afternoon, and then I was still helping out in the school cafeteria, distributing meals to the children, and I finished eating by myself at about seven o'clock in the evening, when I walked to the dormitory building, and a girl said that one of the shoes that were drying outside was missing, and I helped her find it."
Li Yuling took Ye Liang to walk around the campus of the Church Girls' School.
Regarding Li Yuling's alibi, Ye Liang had already read the records with Secretary Wu. At about seven o'clock, she helped people find shoes at the door of the school's dormitory, and the school closed its doors at about eight o'clock in the evening, and the dormitory doors were also closed, if Li Yuling slipped out at this moment, she would not be able to come in again, but she opened the dormitory door on time at six o'clock the next morning, and the dormitory door was locked inside.
From this point of view, it is unlikely that Li Yuling ran over the school wall to kill people after the dormitory closed.
Ye Quan deliberately walked with her from school to the apartment where the murder occurred.
After walking for more than an hour, Li Yuling was out of breath, unable to keep up with Ye Quan's steps, her feet hurt when she walked, and she held on to the plane tree beside the road and said in embarrassment: "Miss Ye, can you take a break, I really can't walk." ”
Ye Liang saw that she was sweating profusely and didn't look like a fake, and said with a smile: "With your physical strength, the wall as high as the school shouldn't be able to climb over." Only then did Li Yuling know that Ye Liang was testing her, she stood there and let out a few long breaths before saying, "Miss Ye, if you had that kind of means, you wouldn't be trapped in that house for so long." The man in front of me, who smoked a lot of cigarettes and beat me, I had never been in charge of my mother's family, until I was about to be killed, I was taken back, if I could go over the wall, I wouldn't be cheap to that man. ”
Ye Liang sighed: "You have already left that cage, you have to be good in the future." ”
After walking for a while, the two decided to go to a roadside café to sit down and rest.
As soon as I entered, I heard someone shouting, "Miss Li! ”
There was some surprise in the sound.
Li Yuling turned around and nodded indifferently: "Mr. Fang, the festival is changing." ”
Ye Liang looked at the two of them, the man was obviously a little embarrassed, and Li Yuling was faintly angry, guessing that this man must be Fang Guofu.
"What a coincidence." Fang Guo was a little speechless.
Li Yuling sneered: "It's a coincidence, Mr. Fang didn't expect to meet a suspect when he went out, right?" ”
"Miss Li, it's me who is wrong, the police have already told me that you didn't have the time to commit the crime at that time, everything has nothing to do with you, I'm sorry for you." He lowered his head, and Ye Liang smiled: "Mr. Fang, right?" I'm Sister Yuling's cousin, what's the matter, Mr. Fang is waiting for someone here? ”
Fang Guofu was a little uneasy, glanced at Li Yuling secretly, and snorted.
At this time, the door of the café rang, and a woman walked in, Fang Guofu saw the woman, the expression on his face changed slightly, and Ye Liang asked, "This is the person Mr. Fang is waiting for?" ”
Li Yuling regretted entering this café, this shop was near Chen Shuyi's murder apartment, she should have thought that she might meet Fang Guofu, he was her own shame, why did she want to make an outer room for this person in the first place? She pulled Ye Liang and said, "Ye ...... Cousin, let's go. ”
The woman who entered the door had already come around, and saw Li Yuling slightly stunned, and then her mouth opened exaggeratedly into an O-shape: "Miss Li, do you know, Miss Chen has an accident, it's too miserable, I heard the police say that she was slashed eight times, eight times!" Ouch, that hurts. ”
The woman's voice was very loud, and the other guests in the café looked at her, and Li Yuling lowered her voice and said, "Mrs. Meng, I still have something to do, I'll go to your place to get my hair done another day." ”
Saying that, he was about to leave with the leaf limit.
Ye Liang simply sat opposite Fang Guofu, unceremoniously picked up the cigarette that Fang Guofu put on the table, glanced at it and said, "Hey, you can't smoke here, it's troublesome." ”
Fang Guofu looked at Li Yuling and then at Mrs. Meng, his face was a little embarrassed. Ye Liang patted the chair generously and said, "Cousin, sit down, we have to sit for a while anyway, it's better to just share a table, it's so lively." ”
After speaking, he pulled Mrs. Meng enthusiastically: "Mrs. Meng, right?" Listen to my cousin, you own a hairdresser? ”
"Yes, miss, do you want to do your hair? Ask Miss Li to take you over another day, keep it satisfied, and Miss will introduce me to business in the future. ”
Mrs. Meng talked about her business experience and gushed endlessly.
Ye Quan nodded: "Okay, okay, why ...... today?" Is it dating Mr. Fang? ”
Fang Guofu was so frightened that he hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, it's Mrs. Meng who said Shuyi ......"
When he mentioned the name Shuyi, he hurriedly glanced at Miss Li, who was sitting motionless and expressionless.
"It's Miss Chen who has some things in my store, and I want to return them to Mr. Fang, it's a thought."
Mrs. Meng explained.
"Hey, then you should give Mr. Lin some points, they've been around for several years." Ye Liang hated Fang Guofu and was not polite to him at all.
Fang Guofu's face was ugly, and Mrs. Meng smiled: "I can't manage this amorous lawsuit, so let Mr. Fang and Mr. Lin fight it themselves." ”
It turned out that Mrs. Meng opened a perm shop, specializing in perming and combing the hair of rich young ladies, Li Yuling and Chen Shuyi were customers in that store, especially Chen Shuyi, who was very rich with Mr. Lin before, always went to do hair, and put some of her cosmetics there.
"I really can't imagine that Miss Chen is still so young." Speaking of Chen Shuyi's death, Mrs. Meng sighed.
Fang Guofu sat on pins and needles, took the cloth bag handed over by Mrs. Meng and stood up and said: "I just thought that there is still some business matter, I will leave first, well, you can sit casually, order as you like, I will have a treat." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned the waiter to come over, took out a few bills, and hurried away as if he were running away.
Mrs. Meng looked at Fang Guofu's back and said, "Mr. Fang, what's wrong?" Panicked. "Maybe there is a ghost in my heart." Li Yuling said angrily.
"What's so terrible about ghosts, Miss Li, I'll tell you, in fact, the living are terrible, when people die, it's just a pile of rotten meat, what are you afraid of." Mrs. Meng spoke loudly and loudly, which was very consistent with her tall and big image.
"Mrs. Meng, we still have something to do, let's go first."
Li Yuling didn't want to talk nonsense with her anymore, so she pulled Ye Liang and was about to leave.
Ye Liang originally wanted to ask a few more words, but he had to stand up at this moment.
"Let's go, Miss Li, take this young lady with you one day, this young lady's hair is burned, it's absolutely beautiful to clean up with me."
It's really a pot that can't be opened!
Ye Liang walked out of the café in a huff, stomped his feet and said, "This person has a really nasty mouth and can't speak." ”
Li Yuling said: "So I'm very lazy to pay attention to her, don't you know, Chen Shuyi took me to do my hair in the past, this woman's attitude, Chen Shuyi's flattery, I should be poor here, these rural people, the most annoying." ”
"What, isn't Mrs. Meng a local?"
"Of course not, I heard that Huizhou came to beg for a living, and I don't know where to learn the craft, it's okay to be so-so, plus the people are more enthusiastic, and I can eat well at some young ladies and wives."
"What does her Mr. Meng do?"
Ye Liang was a little interested in this Mrs. Meng.
"God knows if there is such a person as Mr. Meng, I have always called her Mrs. Meng, and I don't know if Mr. Meng's surname is Meng, or her own surname is Meng, this person doesn't know what the origin is."
"Hey, you are so familiar, she even knows Chen Shuyi and Mr. Fang, but her bottom is not leaky, this woman is very powerful."
"Chen Shuyi's wealth above the country is better than the dwarf winter melon Lao Lin, she is probably bragging everywhere, but looking at Mrs. Meng's performance, it seems that Chen Shuyi still has a little face and didn't tell the matter between us, if it is known that I still want to go to the sea to fish for a living, I really have no face." Li Yuling has a great sense of the rest of her life.
