Chapter 45: Calm down
I have to admit that Cao Youyu's analysis is still tenable to some extent, but before further confirmation, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan will naturally not express their position in front of him.
"Then let's get back to business." After Ning Shuyi waited for Cao Youyu to express his views, he asked, "Where were you on the day Hong Xinli was killed?" What was done? Can someone prove it to you?"
Cao Youyu sighed, seeming a little helpless: "I knew that you must be suspicious of me when you find me, and you still have to be suspicious of whatever I say!"
You should have inquired about my unit before, right? Even the contradiction between me and Hong Xinli is so clear, it is impossible not to know that I was not on the show on the day of her accident.
As for me today, the main thing is to tell the truth, and I will never lie to you in circles, cause trouble to you, and make trouble for myself.
Anyway, you are a policeman, and I believe that in this world, at least in the circle that I can reach, people in your line of work are strict-mouthed!
Then I have nothing to say, don't hide and ambush, anyway, you won't take my private affairs to my unit to make a small report to my leader, right!
On the day of Hong Xinli's accident, I took a private job outside!
Relying on the company's salary and bonus or something, I originally had a house, a car and a family, and it was enough to live a normal life, but wasn't my buddy divorced, my ex-wife had a big appetite, and everything she could wanted was gone.
In order to make a living, so that I can get my chest up again sooner, don't I have to find some way to make extra money."
"What's your extra money?" Huo Yan asked.
"Don't laugh at me, wedding celebrant." Cao Youyu said that he should not joke about it, but he was actually quite proud, and patted his chest, "Our buddies are different from the wedding hosts of the wild road outside, we are serious professionals.
Whether it is the voice or the words, or the mannerisms, it definitely gives the customer a more high-end, more atmospheric and more high-grade feeling!
So I actually have a lot of invitations for private work in private, usually on weekends, and on that day, the family doesn't know how to arrange the time, so they have to hold a wedding on weekdays.
I couldn't find any other good reason, but I could only say that I was not feeling well and had to go to the hospital.
If you don't believe this, you can go to the hotel that hosted the wedding, and the wedding company I worked with, and they will record the whole process."
"Weddings are usually mornings, aren't they?" Ning Shuyi asked, "What about the afternoon?"
"Afternoon? Why do you have to ask about the afternoon?" Cao Youyu was stunned, "Didn't Hong Xinli die in the morning?"
"Who told you?" Ning Shuyi asked.
"No one told me that her husband informed us in the afternoon!" Cao Youyu spread out his hands, "I was looking for someone to work that day anyway, I finished my private work in the morning, and I was playing games at home in the afternoon.
I still wondered what a big deal this was, why did I suddenly have so much news, I was afraid of delaying things, so I quickly took a look, and only then did I know that Hong Xinli was dead, and her husband had already notified the unit of this matter, so that the unit could also hand over the work she was doing while she was alive."
After speaking, in order to show his sincerity, he added: "The game I play is online, you go to investigate my online time and the battle with others, and you can find out."
After chatting with Cao Youyu, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan got up to say goodbye.
Cao Youyu tried his best to keep it with great enthusiasm, hoping to have lunch together and then go separately, but was categorically rejected by the two of them.
"Mr. Cao, I have received my kindness, but with our current relationship, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to eat together." Ning Shuyi shook his head at him and said it very bluntly, avoiding continuing to waste his tongue.
Cao Youyu thought about it, and realized this problem, and quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, you are right! That's it, if you need anything in the future, just look for me.
No matter what you think, anyway, I unilaterally announced that I will treat you as friends in the future
!
If there is anything that needs a brother, relatives and friends who get married and have a happy event, the old man in the family puts a birthday banquet or something, just ask! I promise to give you the price of relatives and friends!"
Unexpectedly, at this time, he didn't forget to give his private work to pull business, Ning Shuyi couldn't cry or laugh, and could only nod.
When leaving the teahouse, Cao Youyu looked relaxed, walked with the wind, and greeted the owner of the teahouse downstairs in a very brisk tone.
"I'll tell you the truth," he said to the two of them as he went out, "As soon as I heard that Hong Xinli was dead, I knew that something was wrong, I had such a big conflict with her before, and the police must have suspected me of something!"
That's why I've been waiting for you to find me!
Now it's okay, you've found me, and I've been honest with you about what I should have said, but now I have a feeling that I've completed the task and am down-to-earth!
Now that a stone has fallen to the ground, the grievances and entanglements between me and Hong Xinli will return to dust in the future!"
As he spoke, he sighed a little sadly, as if he was more or less sad.
After separating from him, Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan also drove away from the media company, and on the way to confirm the evidence of Cao Youyu's alibi, they called Qi Tianhua and asked him to help understand the situation about Tang Shuzhi.
"What kind of character do you think Cao Youyu is?" On the way, Ning Shuyi asked Huo Yan.
Huo Yan had already pondered about this matter just now, and when he was asked by Ning Shuyi at this time, he didn't have to think about it first, and replied directly: "Confident on the outside, inferior in the heart, and frank and husband, in fact, he is a person who only has a thief's heart but no thief's guts."
"You don't think very highly of him!" Ning Shuyi teased.
"It's not high, but I don't think he's the one we're looking for." Huo Yan was already pondering this matter just now, "Judging from Hong Xinli's crime scene, when the murderer committed the crime, he could not only rely on Hong Xinli's trust to let Hong Xinli eat food containing puffer fish offal, but also be calm and sharp after doing so.
From this point of view, the murderer's resentment towards Hong Xinli should be the kind of state that has accumulated over time, is deep-rooted, and there is no way to get rid of it, but it has long calmed down."
Ning Shuyi smiled: "I think so too, the murderer is a person who resents Hong Xinli, but is very calm.
This kind of hatred should be much deeper than Cao Youyu's resentment of coveting Hong Xinli's beauty and trying to take advantage of people's danger for so many years.
Although it can't be asserted that Cao Youyu is a "gentleman among villains" because he will not do anything to kill people, but in contrast, if Hong Xinli was in a dispute with him and touched each other, he was caught on fire and stabbed to death with a knife, which is more in line with the relationship between him and Hong Xinli."
