Chapter 9
Luo Feng took Melinda and rang the doorbell of Zhou Tianzhen's house.
Someone is at home.
But no one opened the door for a long time.
Luo Feng said helplessly: "Every time I come to the door, I have to be rejected like this. ”
"Haven't you been opening the door?"
"The door will open, but it's going to be a long time coming."
"Why?"
"They're definitely gambling to see who opens the door in the end."
"Every time you come, who opens the door?"
"Zhou Tianzhen."
"Oh, if he's always angry, his wife always wins."
"Women have always been masters of winning when it comes to gambling."
Melinda pursed her lips, "You can't kill a group of people with a stick, can you?" ”
Luo Feng shrugged and didn't say anything.
After waiting for a while, someone finally opened the door.
Sure enough, it was Zhou Tianzhen.
He left only a slit and looked at the two people who were visiting.
Luo Feng said: "We've been here, you should know each other, don't you need to introduce yourself, right?" ”
Zhou Tianzhen asked directly: "What's the matter?" ”
"It's still about your daughters."
"What do you want to ask me?"
"Shall we just talk through the door? Mr. Zhou, you should let us in......"
It was Melinda who said this.
As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for the other party to react, she squeezed in, squeezed the door open the width of one person, pushed Zhou Tianzhen away, and walked in.
Then, without asking for permission from the owner of this house, she went straight to the sofa and sat down.
"Is there water? Let's have a drink first, I'm thirsty. ”
She asked Zhou Tianzhen for water very directly.
Luo Feng didn't expect Melinda to suddenly become like this, and she was rude.
She must have wanted to use some tricks to meet the war of words with Zhou Tianzhen.
At this time, Luo Feng could only pretend to be a good person and apologize to Zhou Tianzhen.
He followed Zhou Tianzhen and also came to the living room.
"This woman is not a policeman, is she? Her behavior is somewhat unreasonable. ”
"She's a journalist, she's here to follow your daughter."
"Don't the police hate reporters for chewing their tongues in newspapers the most? How could you, a cop, hang out with a journalist? ”
"She's not just an ordinary journalist, to be exact, she's another identity, a thoughtful detective."
"A female detective?"
"Yes, the ability to solve cases is very strong. I brought her here this time to ask her to assist me in handling your daughter's case. ”
"Isn't the case closed? My mother was her murderer......"
"But I personally think that your mother is innocent."
“……”
"Mr. Zhou, do you think your mother will give birth to your child?"
"I don't believe it either, but she turned herself in, maybe that's the truth."
"Perhaps, but, Mr. Zhou, what do you think?"
"What do you mean by asking me that?"
Luo Feng looked at Melinda, who was slowly drinking after pouring water, and did not answer.

Song Xiaowen walked out of her bedroom.
She was wearing pajamas and looked lazy.
It seems to have just woken up.
After coming to the living room, she saw Luo Feng and Melinda, and she teased: "It's you again?" ”
"Mrs. Zhou still remembers us, right? Then we don't have to introduce ourselves. ”
"Last time I came, it was you who spoke all the time, and this lady didn't say a word."
Melinda opened her mouth, "Then I'll talk more this time and let you hear my voice more, okay?" ”
"You want to say more, don't you? What are you trying to say? ”
"Naturally, I want to ask Mrs. Zhou or Mr. Zhou some questions."
"What's the problem?"
"As soon as I open my mouth, I will ask what I want to ask, I'm afraid it's too direct, let's take a detour and want to ask something else."
Four people sat on two couches.
Luo Feng and Melinda sat together, and Zhou Tianzhen and Song Xiaowen sat together, but there was a large gap between them, as if they were deliberately keeping a certain distance.
Song Xiaowen said: "If you want to ask anything, just ask." ”
Luo Feng asked, "Before your daughter's accident, did she have any particularly unusual behaviors?" ”
Zhou Tianzhen said: "I don't care. ”
"In other words, even if she behaved in an unusual way, you didn't notice it because you didn't care, did you?"
"So to speak."
"You don't feel ...... Are you derelict in your duties as parents of your children? ”
"People are dead, what's the use of talking about it?"
Song Xiaowen said teasingly: "Yes, it was your mother who killed her daughter, and she has already turned herself in and put her in prison, what's the use of talking about this?" ”
Zhou Tianzhen said slightly angrily: "Whoever this kind of thing happens, it's all unfortunate, should you show your sadness when you have misfortune and let yourself cry?" ”
"If you don't behave like this, do you think you're still a normal person?"
"Your behavior is normal, you still go to work, you still go shopping, you still hook up with men, and you don't know until you go home in the middle of the night...... These performances are so normal! ”
"Aren't you too? knew that his mother had harmed Qianqian, and he still had a meeting in the company, and after the meeting, he went to a nightclub to find a woman to drink, and he didn't even return home that night......"
……
The two of you quarreled with me and you.
Luo Feng and Melinda, who were sitting opposite them, looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces were full of helplessness and mockery.
If the noise continues like this, it seems to be endless.
Melinda interrupted their argument, interjected, and said, "We want to know what you were doing on the night of Zhou Qian's accident. ”
The two of them were stunned for a moment, stopped arguing, and then their eyes fell on Melinda.
Melinda continued, "One of the two of you must have been home that night, or both, didn't you?" ”
Song Xiaowen said: "I didn't go home until midnight, and he didn't return all night. ”
"Before you go home, Mrs. Zhou, where have you been?"
"Is it necessary for me to answer this question?"
"You can choose not to answer."
Song Xiaowen thought for a while and said, "I'm in a hotel with a man. ”
I didn't expect her to be so frank, Luo Feng and Melinda looked at each other, and there was the same thing in their eyes.
Luo Feng then asked, "What time did you leave the hotel?" ”
"I got out of the hotel at about eleven o'clock in the evening."
"What time did you get home?"
"When I got home, it was almost one o'clock in the morning."
"And when you get home?"
Song Xiaowen didn't answer, but sneered: "When you are tired and exhausted, what do you want to do except lie in bed and sleep soundly?" ”
"So, you're just lying in bed and sleeping until dawn, aren't you?"
"Yes."
"Can anyone prove that all of this you say is true?"
"Of course there is, the man."
"Who's that man?"
"A man I met in a bar, and after a good conversation, I opened a room, I don't know his name, let alone his identity and occupation, and other things."
"In other words, even if we look for him, we can't find him now?"
"I don't remember anything about him unless I remember his bed... Except that the kung fu is better, I almost don't remember anything. ”
When Song Xiaowen said this, she seemed to be talking about some common things.
Zhou Tianzhenchen, who was sitting next to her, was like fire with anger pressing on his body, almost burning his face red.
His wife talked about his one-night stand with a man in front of him, how could he turn a deaf ear?
Although the two have been separated for a long time, they don't look up and look down, and they quarrel at first sight, but they are husband and wife in name, and his wife ignores his feelings so much, how can he not be angry?
The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Melinda was very satisfied with the atmosphere.
She asked Zhou Tianzhen, "Mr. Zhou, what did you do that night?" ”
Zhou Tianzhen slightly suppressed his emotions and said, "After getting off work, I accompanied the boss to a nightclub, where I talked to customers about some business. ”
"What about after you came out of that nightclub?"
"I took the customer to the hotel and stayed there myself."
"Your customers...... Is it a man, or a woman? ”
"Is it necessary for me to answer this question?"
"There's no need, but who can prove that you were in the hotel that night and didn't leave until the next day?"
"No one can prove it?"
"Oh?"
"You slept alone that night?"
"Yes."
"And who can prove that you left the next day?"
"Our customers and the staff at the guesthouse can attest to it, and ...... There are cameras there, so you can turn them up and see if what I'm saying is true. ”
"No need to investigate, I believe what you say, but there is one thing I can't figure out."
"What are you thinking?"
"Since your mother took her granddaughter back to your home that night, she must have known that one of you was always at home, otherwise, if Zhou Qian was sent back, how would she enter the house?"
“……”
"And in what you and your wife said just now, it is enough to explain that Mrs. Zou didn't know that you were not at home that night, so how could she send her granddaughter home again?"
“……”
"From this point of view, the two of you, there must be one of you who is lying."
The faces of the couple sitting opposite each other changed.
Song Xiaowen snatched the words and said, "That night, I went back, although it was a little late. ”
Melinda said, "If Mrs. Zou knew that you were going back so late, she wouldn't have been able to send her granddaughter home. ”
“……”
"Zhou Qian's drowning time is between seven and eight o'clock in the evening, if Mrs. Zou sends her back, it is precisely that time, and if she knows that you are not at home, I don't understand, why does she send her granddaughter home?"
"You can understand it this way, she did it on purpose, and in her heart, she already had the idea of killing Qianqian."
However, in our investigation, we only found one thing, Mrs. Zou has always been a good person to treat her granddaughter, and Zhou Qian almost turned her into her only support. Such a pair of grandchildren can only love each other, how can one person have the idea of hurting another person? ”
"People are separated from their stomachs, who knows what she thinks?"
"Yes, some people's hearts can be seen clearly without looking through the belly, so what should I say?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"The treatment that Zhou Qian received in this family, I don't need to say it, you know better than anyone else, right?"
"Do you suspect that we are the murderers of our own daughter?"
"Living in such an environment, Zhou Qian's death, although you have no responsibility in law, but morally, you should bear the greatest responsibility."
“……”
"In such a terrible family, the daughter died, the mother did not show a trace of sadness, the father is also hard-hearted, indifferent, even if it is a stranger, will leave a few tears of sympathy, and you are not at all a person, as if you are a beast, like a devil."
"We don't need you to point fingers at what kind of performance we should have...... What do you mean by scolding us here? Your behavior is an insult to our character and a slander to our personality, and I will sue you. ”
"It's hopeless that you can still say such things now."
"What kind of person am I, I don't need you to care, what kind of thing are you, come to my house and talk nonsense?"
"Regardless of what I am, I ask you one last thing, what happened that night, causing a young life to die, and the old man who loved her was also deeply remorseful, and voluntarily surrendered, not daring to live in that seemingly freer society?"
"How do we know?"
"Maybe you don't know, I'm wrong about you, but ...... I need to remind you. ”
"What do you want to say?"
"Zhou Qian, who lives with you, has long had the idea of killing you...... That is, you have been living with someone who wants to kill you, and you don't know it. ”
Hearing her words, Song Xiaowen and Zhou Tianzhen were shocked.
Luo Feng, on the other hand, was full of disappointment, upset that Melinda said such a thing abruptly.
Melinda ignored the change in their expressions and continued, "I think you know better than anyone why a little girl around ten years old would have such thoughts, right?" Some things, in your heart, are a secret, but this secret may not be able to be hidden forever, sooner or later, someone will know, unless you hide the secret very deeply, others will not be able to touch it at all. ”
"You...... What are you trying to say? ”
"One year, a husband suddenly disappeared for more than half a month, and since then he has changed from a taciturn person to a person who is always noisy with his wife, and a wife suddenly has an amazing reversal in her attitude towards her daughter, and no longer has any feelings for her, so although this family of three lives under the same roof, the relationship is comparable to that of strangers."
“……”
"Something must have happened at that time of year for this couple to destroy the family what it is. As for what the secret is? God knows, they know, and they don't think anyone else will know. But I tell you, since the secret has already happened, sooner or later I will know it. ”
“……”
"I am convinced that Zhou Qian's death has nothing to do with what happened at that time of the year, even if it is not very related,—— what do you think?"
“……”
The four people sitting on the sofa in this living room seem to have created a battlefield, although they have not yet started to fight, but they have already made people feel the inevitable smoke of gunpowder and the blood of human nature.
