Chapter 21. [Case 4] The truth about the fall

I said to Mr. Shi, that's the case, we have someone above us who wants to re-investigate this case, and now we have appointed two professionals to follow up on this matter, I hope you can rush to the venue of the previous club now, I know that it is very late, but please work hard. Mr. Shi said a little hesitantly on the other end of the phone, but it has been so long since this case, and the main responsible person is not me, so why do you want me to investigate. I told him that there must be some reason for this, but my position cannot tell you so much, so please come at once.

It can be heard that although Mr. Shi feels very strange and reluctant, it may be that the investigation of the case a few years ago made him feel a little afraid of the police department. So he said, all right, I'm going to come here. I said to him, call this when you get downstairs, and I'll have someone open the door for you.

After hanging up the phone, I vaguely felt that this Mr. Shi should know some inside information, because he was the one who cooperated with the investigation at the beginning, as the person responsible, even if he was only called by the police for questioning, he should have grasped some basic information from the police, such as who the deceased was, why did he choose to commit suicide on the roof of the club, and what other people were related to the deceased, but these circumstances were impossible for the security guard Master Yang to know. And I can't go directly to the police station to ask, first of all, I don't know any police officers in this area, and this kind of case from a few years ago, what reason do people have for you to check it.

Manager Xiao said that there was a drink vending machine in the customer rest area over there, and asked me what Hu Zongren and I were drinking, Hu Zongren asked for mineral water, and I said I wanted to pulsate, so soon Manager Xiao went to buy it back, and brought back a pack of cigarettes by the way. So the three of us discussed how we should talk about it when Mr. Shi came. If we directly state our identity, maybe people will leave angrily because they were deceived, and maybe they will beat us up. So we decided that even if we wanted to reveal our identities, it would be after we had the real situation.

After waiting for about half an hour, there were almost no people on Erlang Street at 11 o'clock, but because there is a highway entrance here, it is also a relatively important traffic artery, so there are still many fast cars whistling by. As I was leaning on the window, smoking a cigarette in my mouth, and smelling the hot air outside, there was a knock on the glass door, and I turned my head to see a man in an orange shirt, with a small head, and a height between 1 meter and 7 meters. He looked a little older than us, but his expression was a little uneasy because of the phone call I had made earlier.

I walked over and said to him, you are Mr. Shi Peng, right? He said yes. I said that I was commissioned by the police force of the high-tech zone to investigate the fall case of your club at that time, and these were my two colleagues. After speaking, I pointed to Hu Zongren and Manager Xiao, and then said to Mr. Shi, I'm really sorry to call you over so late, please take a seat.

The four of us sat down at a small glass round table, and I pulled out my high-end phone that I could play Angry Birds on, then pulled up the tape recorder and said to Mr. Shi, if you don't mind, I'll record our conversation. I learned this paragraph in Hong Kong films, and Zhang Jiahui often uses this trick when the police interrogate prisoners, which is too handsome. And in this way, Mr. Shi can feel that I am professional enough, and he will not hide the truth in front of the tape recorder.

I asked Mr. Shi, I know that this case has been closed for a long time, and the relevant compensation and aftermath work have also been done, and the reason why we need to re-investigate is because we have received new information that the matter may be a little different from the original investigation of the case file, so we have re-examined it again, and according to the information we received, it is very different from the oral record you made with us at that time. When I said this, I deliberately accentuated my tone so that Mr. Shi felt that the matter was a bit serious. Sure enough, after I finished saying this, I saw an anxious expression on his face, so I said to him, now I want you to recount this matter in its entirety.

Mr. Shi was stunned, probably wanting to speak but didn't know where to start. So I said to Manager Xiao, why don't you give Mr. Shi a drink too. After that, I also handed him a cigarette and lit it for him by the way. Mr. Shi said that he himself has set up this car club with a few friends since 2004, and originally several people are just like-minded, like to travel by car, and also like to make friends. A few of their friends met in a car club of a specific model, and after chatting, they decided to do a car club regardless of the model. Mr. Shi said that he first bought this venue from the property owner at a relatively low price, and originally planned to make it an entertainment venue, but later found that this place may not be patronized by anyone to open an entertainment venue, so it has been idle and regarded as a real estate investment. Since they decided to set up a car club, a few of their friends pooled money, simply arranged it, and made a recruitment website.

Mr. Shi said that at first, there was only a small part of this hall, but it was further expanded as more and more riders joined later. And before that, all the expenses of the car club were maintained by placing some beautiful perfume seats, steering wheel covers, license plate frames and helping car friends deal with violations and deduction records, although they didn't make much money, but basically they didn't lose money. Later, several other friends who joined the stock felt that they couldn't make any money by bothering and bothering, so they said that they wanted to quit, and Mr. Shi was a person who valued feelings, so he bought his friend's shares with his own money and supported the club by himself. At the same time, he added some new businesses by virtue of his relationship, such as annual review, new car households, etc., and when he had more business, he invited a few little sisters. And what he likes most is to talk about his ideals and life with those car friends, or drive to Tibet, Xinjiang and other places to play. He told us that he was able to get a lot of discounts from hotels, restaurants and scenic spot tickets for organizing long-term self-driving tours.

Mr. Shi said that in the year of the accident, the number of members in his club had reached nearly 500, and the small space was not enough, so he built a rooftop as a place for sunbathing, drinking tea or barbecue. That year, one of his members was a male rider named Don who drove a luxury car. Mr. Shi said frankly that when he joined the club, he was worried that the owner of this kind of luxury car would not be more difficult to integrate into everyone, because after all, not everyone can afford to buy a luxury car, and he may not be able to afford other car friends, worried that there will be some friction in values, but it is very surprising that this Mr. Tang can easily get along with everyone, and he is also bold and generous, and many people are willing to be friends with him. When I go on a road trip, I never mind my luxury car mixed with a group of budget people.

Mr. Shi sighed and continued, but it is a pity that he knows people and faces, but after several self-driving tours and membership activities, he found that this Mr. Tang had not very upright motives for joining the club. He said that this person is indeed a very attractive and financially secure person, and as a friend, he definitely doesn't have to worry about his personal affairs, but Mr. Tang seems to be more ambiguous with many female car owners in the car club. Mr. Shi said that there are hundreds of people in the car club, so it is impossible for everyone to know each other, and people are always easy to divide into some small groups according to age and hobbies, which is also one of the main criteria for differentiation and unification, so this Mr. Tang wanders in several small groups with different hobbies, and those female car owners, especially single or unmarried female car owners, are relatively close.

Mr. Shi said that this was also something that he realized after a long time, and the reason was that he once led a team out of Lu, including this Mr. Tang. The destination is the Moon Lake in Inner Mongolia, originally in a place like the desert oasis people are more likely to be confused, obviously there is a hotel arrangement, but Mr. Tang does not live, he has to set up a tent on the edge of the oasis, and it is the kind of combined tent with a larger space, and the tent has been prepared before the departure from Chongqing. Mr. Shi said that on the road of the self-driving tour, he would send a walkie-talkie to each car, so that everyone would not be bored and doze off on the way, and they could chat with each other and make friends. In the two days that she was in Moon Lake, this girlfriend never went back to her room to sleep, and as for where she went, isn't it obvious.

Mr. Shi smiled bitterly and said, Originally, this is also a private matter of others, and no one will say anything if you love me. But Mr. Tang changed his female companion very quickly, and most of the female companions who were replaced did not come to the event very often, and even if he came, he picked Mr. Tang's absence, so this also gave him a lot of opportunities to meet new girls. And on the day of the incident, we organized a small-scale barbecue party, Mr. Tang and a new female car owner came to participate, during which the two of them from time to time you and I nong, everyone is an open person, no one will talk more than their own business, anyway, Mr. Tang did not eat and drink, people should pay a lot of fees and bring a lot of new members to themselves, as Mr. Shi prefers to keep such a friend rather than offend him.

Mr. Shi said that when everyone was having fun that day, Mr. Tang put his arm around the girl's waist, and the girl sat sideways on his lap, and at this time, a woman in red clothes came out of the rooftop gate, with black, long and straight hair, and in winter, but wearing very thin clothes like nightgowns. He wore a brightly colored lipstick and held a bunch of car keys in his hand, which were BMW's keys. He looked haggard and sad. When she walked to the door, she stood still, but looked directly at Mr. Tang, who was talking and laughing with another girl.

Because she was dressed too conspicuously, everyone soon noticed her, including Mr. Tang. When Mr. Tang saw her, his face suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled the girl on his lap up, and then stood very embarrassed, and said to the woman in red with a smile after a long time, why did you come here.

Mr. Shi said that because he was sure that this woman had never seen him and was not a member of the club, combined with the scene in front of him, he guessed that this woman must be Mr. Tang's wife or girlfriend, and he thought that he would stop fighting later. But who knew that the woman walked directly to Mr. Tang and said very coldly, go home early, I'll go.

After saying that, the woman jumped off the terrace by the rooftop without everyone expecting it. It fell solidly to the ground, and blood flowed all over the ground.

Mr. Shi said that next to the place where the woman fell to her death was the club's parking space, and that parking space happened to be the luxury car that Mr. Tang parked.
