Chapter 8: Listening to Reality and Fiction
On Tuesday morning, Feng Ming came to the company as always, but at this time he couldn't help but feel a little more irritable in his heart, since yesterday afternoon, his heart has been haunted by an inexplicable sense of irritability.
Yesterday afternoon, it was the time for him to meet Wei Zhongwen.
Obviously, yesterday's meeting was an extremely heavy blow to Feng Ming. In his heart, although Zhang Jingya is a woman with a strong purpose, she will not do anything to achieve her goals, he never thought that Zhang Jingya would find a lawyer to deal with him.
It can be said that since yesterday, the only bit of pity for Zhang Jingya in Feng Ming's heart has disappeared because of Wei Zhongwen's existence.
Although what he couldn't have imagined was that Zhang Jingya at this time had already been separated from him.
Feng Ming drank a large cup of coffee as soon as he arrived at the company, because he didn't rest well, he drank three cups of coffee in one morning, and his physical and mental exhaustion coupled with the effect of coffee made Feng Ming feel a little trance.
This trance even made him think that the person in front of him was just an illusion.
At this moment, the person sitting in front of Feng Ming was Chen Xi. In order to collect evidence, Chen Xi and several colleagues came to Feng Ming's company.
But Feng Ming, who was in a trance, looked at the few people who had already sat down in front of him, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
It wasn't until Chen Xi in front of him shook his hand and shouted a few loudly that Feng Ming gradually regained consciousness. "Mr. Feng?"
"Oh... I'm sorry, I didn't have a good rest last night, how many people are? Obviously, Feng Ming didn't hear the secretary's introduction just now, and just asked in a daze.
Seeing Feng Ming so confused, Chen Xi couldn't help but feel a little strange, could it be that the other party already knew about Zhang Jingya's death, which would cause him to be so depressed?
"Hello Mr. Feng, we are the police, responsible for investigating Miss Zhang Jingya's case." Putting aside the doubts in his mind, Chen Xi responded.
"Police?" Hearing the word police, Feng Ming was almost startled, as if he had suddenly sobered up, and looked directly at the few people in front of him, and his expression seemed to be a little wary.
Years of police experience made Chen Xi realize something all of a sudden, this Feng Ming in front of him must have something he didn't want the police to know.
Could this matter have anything to do with Zhang Jingya?
Among the three deceased, only Zhang Jingya's boyfriend Feng Ming is the only one who can be contacted, that is to say, Feng Ming's existence is crucial, if it goes well, Feng Ming may be able to become a breakthrough in these three cases, because of this, Chen Xi especially understands the importance of Feng Ming.
At this moment, the most important thing is to stabilize Feng Ming, if he really has any secrets, then Chen Xi must not startle the snake.
So Chen Xi stabilized his expression, showed a normal appearance, and then said: "Yes, Mr. Feng, we are here this time to investigate Miss Zhang Jingya's case, and I hope you can cooperate with us." β
This time, Feng Ming seemed to hear the words "Zhang Jingya" clearly, and his face was a little soothed compared to before, and he looked like he was relieved.
In other words, the person Feng Ming is really worried about is actually himself, not Zhang Jingya.
Chen Xi silently looked at these in his eyes and wrote them down. It seems that it is necessary to investigate this person properly.
"I've broken up with her, and whatever happens to her, it doesn't matter to me anymore." Feng Ming said coldly, as if he didn't miss the old feelings at all.
Hearing Feng Ming's words, Chen Xi secretly frowned, and understood in his heart that the other party still didn't know about Zhang Jingya's death.
"Mr. Feng, Miss Zhang has passed away, we are here to learn about her life, and you, as her 'ex-boyfriend', I think you have the obligation to cooperate with the police investigation." Chen Xi said, deliberately aggravating the tone of the word "ex-boyfriend".
"What do you say? Jingya is dead, you guys are mistaken, I was still yesterday..."At this point, Feng Ming suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something terrible, and continued. "When's it?"
"Yesterday morning around ten o'clock."
"Ten o'clock... What are you kidding, Jingya was still talking to me on the phone at nine o'clock, how could it be..."Feng Ming said, his face could not hide his grief, no matter how ruthless he was, no one could handle it calmly in the face of the death of the deceased.
"Mr. Feng, please mourn, we came this time to investigate who Miss Zhang Jingya usually contacts."
"How did she die?" Feng Ming didn't answer the rhetorical question, as if he didn't want to believe the fact that Zhang Jingya had died.
"This... Please forgive us for not being able to disclose it. Chen Xi said, her face was embarrassed, she was the worst at dealing with these. What's more, she really can't say that the other party died by suicide.
"Although Jingya is a bit domineering, she will definitely not grudge with others, who killed her?" Feng Ming said word by word, his tone full of resentment.
"Sorry, this is still under investigation, so..."
"I understand, whatever you want to ask, I will definitely cooperate fully." Feng Ming said, changing his previous absent-mindedness and showing a positive appearance.
"Thank you." Chen Xi said and nodded. "You just said that you were still on the phone at nine o'clock yesterday morning, right?"
"That's right. Yesterday was Jingya's birthday..."Feng Ming said, as if he remembered something, and there was a little more sadness in his tone. "Actually... It's been a week since I broke up with Jingya. β
"Is that the one you contacted her, or was it?" Chen Xi asked.
"She called me. I thought maybe she wanted me to wish her a happy birthday, so she took the initiative to call. β
"If it's already broken up, why would she call you?" Chen Xi asked rhetorically.
"We have been together for two years, during which we have quarreled countless times, and we have divided countless times, but none of them can really be separated, but this time the cold war lasted for a week. So I thought maybe Jingya wanted to use her birthday to get back together with me. β
"And how did you reply to her?"
"I..." Facing Chen Xi's question, Feng Ming couldn't answer it at once.
Seeing this, Chen Xi guessed in his heart that if Feng Ming agreed to reunite with Zhang Jingya, there would definitely be no future incidents.
"It's me who is sorry for her... When she called yesterday, I happened to be in a meeting, so I hung up in a hurry without listening to what she said, if I had been more patient, maybe..."
Or maybe what?
Chen Xi couldn't help but ask rhetorically in his heart. Judging from Feng Ming's reaction, the other party seemed to know that Zhang Jingya died by suicide, but no matter who it was, he never told him about it.
"Actually, yesterday on the phone, Jingya told me... said that she didn't want to live anymore and was going to commit suicide. Feng Ming hesitated for a while, but still said it. I thought she was just angry again, so I didn't take it seriously, but I didn't expect..."
"Why do you think Zhang Jingya is just angry?"
"Officer, to put it mildly, this kind of thing has actually happened more than once, in the past, we quarreled fiercely, and Jingya would threaten me with this. At first, I was really worried to death, put down what I was doing and went to her, I didn't answer the phone, I didn't reply to the messages, and just when I was looking for her and went crazy, I found out that she was just drinking with a group of friends in a bar. You say, how many times does this happen again, can I still take it seriously? β
"It's a pity that this time, it really happened." Chen Xi said, his tone cold. She began to feel that the man in front of her was a little ruthless. I just learned of my girlfriend's death, but in the blink of an eye, I can count each other with outsiders.
"I'm sorry, I lost my words." Knowing that he had said the wrong thing, Feng Ming said apologetically.
"Who does Zhang Jingya usually associate with?" Ignoring Feng Ming's words, Chen Xi asked directly.
"When Jingya and I first met, she was just a sophomore, just turned 20 years old, young and ignorant, and it was the most suitable for her. I met her at a friend's party, and the first time I saw her, I was fascinated and determined to catch up with her, and at that time, she was really a good girl, and she couldn't even drink. But thenβ" Feng Ming said, and couldn't help but sigh.
"What happened next?"
"I don't know what happened, gradually, I found that Jingya is no longer the little girl I know, she began to go in and out of bars and nightclubs frequently, often not returning home at night, sometimes when it was time to get to the dormitory curfew, I called her, only to find that she was still drinking with a group of people in the bar. It's okay once or twice, and after a long time, I really can't stand it. β
"So you chose to break up with her?"
"That's right, not long ago, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening, I called her and asked her where she was, and she said that she was in the dormitory, but I still heard familiar music. It was a bar she frequented, and the more she went, I remembered it. I didn't expose her, I just pretended to believe her and told her to rest early. β
"The result?" Chen Xi asked, knowing that things would not be so simple.
"As a result, I went to the store and found that Jingya was no longer there, I asked the bartender, and learned that Jingya had drunk too much and was taken away by a few thugs, so I hurriedly chased after it. I threatened to call the police and scared them away. As a result, the next day, no matter how much I asked, Jingya didn't admit what happened last night, and I don't know if she really didn't remember it, or if she was just afraid of making me angry. But I do know that if I go late that night, things will be unthinkable. β
"So, you made up your mind to break up with her?"
"That's right, I've really had enough of days like this." Feng Ming said, with a little more forbearance in his tone. It seems that he was forced to make a choice out of desperation.
