Chapter 60: The Trap

The police who came to solve the crime cordoned off the scene and asked me to sit on the couch in the hall and wait. A young policewoman carefully questioned me about the incident and made detailed records.

"Bai Bing, may I ask you to come to the clinic so late, is there something wrong with Ma Chu?"

My body was shaking and I could barely speak. I tried to calm my tone and said to the policewoman, "I came here so late because a friend asked her to help her get her phone." This friend's name is Gu Ya, and her mobile phone is exactly the same as Ma Chu's mobile phone, so when Ma Chu went to the clinic temporarily, he mistakenly took Gu Ya's mobile phone away. โ€

"Then, Gu Ya herself, why can't she ask Ma Chu for her phone back in person?"

"I think it may be because Gu Ya is in a hurry and doesn't have time to wait here. Because, Ma Chu is out of the doctor, and it may take a long time to come back. During the day, when Gu Ya and I were chatting with Ma Chu at the clinic, everything was as usual here. No special cases were found. โ€

The policewoman, wearing white gloves, took out a mobile phone from a bag and placed it on the coffee table in front of me. She said: "This mobile phone is Gu Ya's." We have informed her and asked her to come over immediately. We wanted to know more about the day. โ€

"What time did you receive Gu Ya's call?"

"Wellใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€ it seems to be 18 o'clock in the evening. I looked at the time and I was right. โ€

"We have checked the call records of Ma Chu before his death. Finding his phone, the last call he made was your phone. You're white ice, right? โ€

"Well, that's right. Gu Ya's mobile phone was taken away by Ma Chu. So, she called me from Ma Chu's mobile phone. I picked up the phone at that time, and I was surprised when I heard Gu Ya's voice coming from me. โ€

"You, Gu Ya, are you familiar with Ma Chu? Have you heard of anyone he offended? โ€

I paused, not wanting to talk about the privacy of the past. However, when it comes to the case, it is not good to not explain it truthfully. I pursed my lips and whispered, "Gu Ya and I are both Ma Chu's ex-girlfriends. I once got a marriage certificate with Ma Chu, but before I could get married, I divorced again. Something unpleasant happened at that time, and it was Ma Chu who proposed to me to break up. I haven't heard of any enemies in Ma Chu. Excuse me, is this relevant to this case? โ€

The policewoman smiled politely and said, "I hope you understand." In order to understand the facts of the case, we must know more about the relevant circumstances, even the slightest detail. โ€

I nodded, choked up, and said, "I understand, and I'm willing to cooperate with your investigation." You don't suspect that I killed Ma Chu, do you? After all, when I found out that Ma Chu was dead, I was the only one here. โ€

"Bai Bing, the law pays attention to evidence, we will not wronged a good person, let alone let go of a murderer. Please trust us! The policewoman smiled slightly, her face revealing majesty.

"Excuse me, did you and Gu Ya come to this clinic together by appointment in advance? Is there any particular reason why you came to Ma Chu? โ€

"Gu Ya and I didn't agree on anything in advance. We met outside the clinic, walked in together, chatted with Ma Chu for a while, and then I left. I was looking for Ma Chu, there was nothing special, I just wanted to come and have a look. โ€

"We hope to learn about Ma Chu's message before his death and see if we can capture clues to solve the case. If you can think of any details related to this case, please feel free to contact us. I'll just ask for now, do you need someone from us to take you home? โ€

"Ah, don't bother you, I called my husband, and he came to pick me up." I thanked the policewoman gratefully, and my mind was already in a mess.

Ma Chu, how could he die? And so suddenly. Once upon a time, when he repented of his marriage to me, I cursed him countless times, hoping that he would not die a good death. These words, scribbled all over the title page of the diary, are scribbled and frenzied. There is hatred between the lines.

However, now that Ma Chu has really died, my heart is not happy. I didn't feel relieved, but I felt very sad. When I thought of Ma Chu dying so inexplicably at such a young age, my tears flowed uncontrollably.

The policewoman left me behind and went to ask a few local villagers what time Ma Chu arrived at their house. What time is it when you leave?

Those villagers were the same family that Ma Chu went to the clinic that afternoon. They said that when Ma Chu arrived at home, it was about 5 p.m. Ma Chu didn't stay in their house for long, only about 20 minutes. They said regretfully that Dr. Ma Chu was a very kind-hearted person, and it was impossible for him to make any enemies, and he really couldn't think of who killed Ma Chu.

The police checked Ma Chu's belongings, and the cash was the same as the wallet. This shows that the murderer did not aim to rob money. If it's not for money, then there is another motive. Perhaps, the murderer was for some kind of benefit. Ma Chu's death can maximize someone's interests. Otherwise, the murderer would definitely not have murderous intentions towards Ma Chu for no reason.

The above is the preliminary speculation of the police. They now seem to have locked the biggest suspicion on me and Gu Ya. According to police inquiries with clinic staff, it was learned that the last person to leave the clinic that day was a female head nurse.

The female head nurse said that there were very few patients at the clinic that day, so they went home at 4:30 p.m. At that time, a young woman with long hair and a shawl remained in Ma Chu's office. She didn't know what Ma Chu was talking about with the woman, but they had been in the house for a long time. Before she left, the clinic had not received a call requesting a visit.

The head nurse had red eyes and recalled the events of the day. At the end, she looked at me sadly and said to the policewoman, "The woman who was staying in the office with Ma Chu looks very similar to the lady Bai Bing in front of us, and we thought these two beauties were twins at first!" โ€

The policewoman looked at my face again, opened the notebook on her lap, and swiped down something. My heart panicked, and the policewoman's eyes were like a sharp knife, stabbing me upset.

I lowered my head and pondered silently. Why was Gu Ya wandering outside the window of the clinic that morning? When she found me, why was she ready to leave? She was looking for Ma Chu, there must be something going on. She wanted to leave halfway through because she met me by accident. This means that she doesn't want me to be there. It seems that she did come prepared.

Ma Chu rushed to the patient's home, about 5 p.m., and then left 20 minutes later. The patient's home is very close to the clinic, which is 10 minutes away. It is estimated from this that when Ma Chu returned to the clinic, it was more than half past five at most. However, when Gu Ya called me, it was 18 o'clock, and she said that Ma Chu had not returned from the clinic.

I didn't dare to think about it anymore, I was terrified to think about it. Gu Ya has no reason to kill Ma Chu. It won't be her.

"Bing'er, are you okay?" I looked up and saw Luo Shicheng walking towards me with a worried face. Behind him, followed by Gu Ya, who had meticulous makeup, her face was full of anxiety.

I was like a person who fell into the water, and suddenly met a life-saving straw, got up and threw myself into Luo Shicheng's arms.

"Bing'er, don't be afraid, I'm here!" Luo Shicheng's calm voice finally settled down in my apprehensive heart.

Gu Ya smiled indifferently, glanced around the room, and sat down next to the policewoman.

The policewoman opened the notebook and asked Gu Ya: "As far as we know, except for Ma Chu, you are the last person to stay in the clinic." I heard that you and Ma Chu stayed in his office for a long time, and you remained here until the time when the staff here left work. What are you talking about? Have there ever been any disputes? โ€

Gu Ya said calmly: "We talked about some things in the past, the past between me and him. We used to be lovers and then broke up. I came today to visit him and nothing else. There was no conflict of interest between me and Ma Chu, and there was no dispute during the conversation. Later, Ma Chu wanted to go to the doctor, so I said goodbye. โ€

"Gu Ya, the last call on Ma Chu's mobile phone was to Bai Bing. But Bai Bing said, that phone was made to her by you using Ma Chu's mobile phone. Is that so? โ€

Gu Ya didn't speak for a long time in shock, and looked at me with wide eyes. My heart chuckled, as if I had a premonition.

Gu Ya looked at me in embarrassment, and then glanced at Luo Shicheng. After a while, she seemed to muster up a lot of courage and said to the policewoman: "I haven't used Ma Chu's mobile phone, let alone called Bai Bing. I don't know, why did Bai Bing say that? โ€

My brain suddenly fell into chaos, and I shouted at Gu Ya in horror: "Gu Ya, be honest." Obviously, you used Ma Chu's mobile phone to call me, saying that your mobile phone was taken away by Ma Chu, and asked me to come over and help you get your mobile phone back! At that time, you said that Ma Chu had not come back from the clinic. You seem to be in a hurry and don't have time to wait here. If not, why did I go out of my way to come here? โ€

Gu Ya looked at me with pity and said in a slur manner, "Bai Bing, I'm really sorry. I don't ใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€ใ€ know why you're saying that? However, I really haven't used Ma Chu's phone. And if I want to get my phone back, I can wait at the clinic myself, so why should I ask you to come and get it? I was going to come over tomorrow morning to get my phone. โ€

I looked at Gu Ya's beautiful face in disbelief, and tears of grievance and anger burst out of my eyes. I shouted hoarsely, "Gu Ya, why are you treating me like this? You asked me to come here. I have good intentions to help you, but you maliciously slander me like this, what are your intentions! โ€

At this time, a male policeman called Gu Ya aside and said that he wanted to collect her fingerprints. My fingerprints have been taken before. I hope that the police can find out the truth as soon as possible and not let the good people be wronged in vain.

The policewoman sat down next to me again and said softly, "Bai Bing, I hope you can dispel your concerns and tell us the truth." We won't wronged good people, please trust us! โ€

I couldn't argue, glared at Gu Ya hatefully, and cried.

Luo Shicheng hugged me tightly in his arms and gently patted my back. He leaned close to my ear and said, "Bing'er, I believe in you and know you best." Don't be afraid, there will always be a day when the water will come out. โ€

After Luo Shicheng comforted me, he said to the policewoman: "Comrade policeman, my wife's health is not very good, and she can't stand the stimulation. If you don't have anything else to ask, I'd like to take my wife home. โ€

The policewoman nodded and said slowly.

I got home, ran straight to the upstairs bedroom, and locked the door. I cried and kept a diary. I want to write down this terrible day, so as not to forget how Gu Ya, that slut, framed and distorted me!

Luo Shicheng kept knocking on the door outside, calling my name. I didn't respond to him, I just kept a diary. He didn't seem to leave the door until I closed the journal and didn't hear his footsteps coming downstairs.

I locked my journal and prepared to open the door. At this time, Luo Shicheng's mobile phone rang, and a moment later, I heard him roaring loudly: "You listen to me, no matter who you are for, I will never allow you to use my Bing'er!" โ€
