88. Investigation of suspect Ke Runze
Both sides had their own supporters and began to argue.
"Okay, okay, no matter which side has a reason, by the way, where is the person named Qiao Xiang now?"
"Well." The five women looked at each other.
"Hey, where is it?" Tian Chunda asked again.
"I know." The fifth, diminutive nurse spoke for the first time. Although she is short, her chest and waist are bumpy, and she can be regarded as a graceful figure among the five.
"Where?"
"In the Golden Valley."
"Jingu?"
The other four women all had expressions they hadn't heard before.
"Yes, in Jingu, Dongyang City."
"In this way, that person is from Dongyang. Where is Jingu located in Dongyang? Tian Chunda asked.
"Golden Valley is in the southern part of the city."
"Do you know the exact address?" Tian Chunda asked.
The woman shook her head. Tian Chunda thought that if He Chun's luggage was still kept, he could investigate it, but all the relics had been taken away by her brother, so nothing could be found.
"Do you know anyone else who has a grudge against He Chun?"
Although this question has been asked several times, no one has a clue about it. Officer Tian Chunda decided to concentrate on the thorough investigation of the two men and women.
Tian Chunda called Lanzhuang. A middle-aged woman's voice from the microphone that looked like the manager's wife said that ten minutes ago, Ke Runze had gone out to the doll toy store on Qingshui Road.
Tian Chunda heard the nurse say that Qingshui Road was less than a fifteen-minute walk from Xiaolong's hospital, so he thanked them for their help and left the hospital.
A short walk on Qingshui Road, you will immediately see your destination. The large gold text reads "Shimei Doll Toy Store". The window facing the road is filled with several beautiful dolls. From the open entrance, you can see the parts used to make the dolls, crammed into display cabinets.
The shop seems to be busy. Two of the three clerks gathered to whisper, while another girl had her back to them, wiping down a glass display cabinet with a cloth. As soon as Tian Chunda entered the store, the clerk who noticed the footsteps looked up at him at the same time, and then showed a surprised expression. This is because the customers of the doll shop are only women, and a man with a rough appearance like Tian Chunda walks in, which is very out of tune.
"Welcome."
"I want to see Miss Ke Runze."
"Who are you?"
Tian Chunda handed out his business card silently. As soon as the other party saw the title printed on it, he raised his thin eyebrows and showed a puzzled expression, and then quickly went upstairs with his business card. Tian Chunda, who stayed in place, looked at the female clerk who was wiping the glass of the display cabinet. Seeing her neat and non-muddy movements, I felt that she was more healthy and beautiful than the girl in the window.
The footsteps down the stairs stopped halfway through, and the sound of an invitation to come up was heard. It was the woman who leaned out of the handrail just now and called Tian Chunda.
The door was pulled open. Several women's hands, which had been working, stopped moving, and all looked here. Tian Chunda stepped over the door frame.
In the center of the room, which is about 30 square meters, there is a large dining table, around which young and middle-aged women sit. On the dining table, the torsos of undressed dolls and colorful rags are scattered on the tabletop, and you can see what looks like a nun's hairless head and her cheeks dyed cherry red.
"May I ask who Ke Runze is?" Tian Chunda asked.
"I am."
A beautiful woman who looked to be twenty-three or fourteen years old, standing with a small perm in one hand. She wore a red sweater, thick hair that fell down to the collar like a wavy hair, and white walls as a backdrop, making her look like a glamorous movie actress.
"What's the matter with you?" She asked.
"I don't think it's convenient to talk about this here. Can you go out into the hallway with me? β
"Gee, that's okay. It won't bother us. I haven't done anything bad, and there are no chairs in the hallway. β
Ke Runze tactfully dismissed his opinion. She raised her brows, her red lips tightly closed, and she looked strong-willed.
"Well, if you don't care, then I don't care. However, if you feel inconvenient in the middle of the conversation, then you can always say that we can go to the corridor right away. β
"Okay." Regarding Tian Chunda's proposal, Ke Runze tilted his head as if he wanted to express his gratitude, and the corners of his mouth rose to show a smile.
The two sat facing each other. "You should know He Chun, right?" Tian Chunda asked.
Ke Runze didn't answer immediately, and gently put the small perm pliers in his hand on the table. Not far in front of her, there stood a beautiful doll dragging the hem of her clothes and leaning her upper body slightly back, which seemed to emphasize the curve of her waist. There is also a sticker on the hem of the doll, which reads "Designer Ke Runze".
"If you are talking about He Chun, a nurse from Xiaolong Hospital, then I know her. However, although I know her, it does not mean that I have a good relationship with her, or that I have a very close relationship. Ke Runze said.
"That's right. In other words, this woman is Mr. Xiao Long's fiancΓ©e. The nurse was killed on a beach on the outskirts of Kanazawa City. β
The other women who heard the words of the criminal police all showed nervous expressions. But only Ke Runze was not in a hurry, and his expression did not change at all.
"I know. And not only I know, but everyone here knows. Our newspapers here have also covered it with a small story. I heard that he was shot at ......"
"Yes, on the beach by the sea. But my question is about Xiao Long and you were engaged before, but now it has been canceled. This matter will definitely involve your private affairs. Let's go out in the hallway and talk, shall we? β
Ke Runze quickly raised his hand to stop the officer who was about to stand up. Her cherry-red nails shone with her movements.
"I don't care. As I told you earlier, everyone here is well aware of this. Whether it was my previous marriage contract with Mr. Xiao Long, or the ...... that was later canceled. They even took me to the restaurant and comforted me together. β
Ke Runze picked up the scattered rulers and awls, and carefully received them into the plastic sewing box one by one. The white ball of sewing thread spun around several times and fell to the ground, and Tian Chunda bent down to pick it up.
"Oops, I'm sorry."
"Please don't care, just keep talking. You must hate He Chun for snatching her lover, right? β
"Honestly, it me off. Although I think Xiao Long himself is also at fault, it is still because He Chun tempted him. I regretted it for a long time, and I couldn't even sleep well at night. β
Ke Runze easily admitted it, so honest that it made Tian Chunda very discouraged. The other women seemed to sense that the conversation between the detective and Ke Runze was going in a delicate direction, so they didn't plan to listen to it anymore and continue to get to work. The woman opposite Tian Chunda is devoting herself to making dolls.
"Since you say so, it's easy to talk about. Besides, your position is to hold a grudge against He Chun, then of course you are suspected of murder. β
"yes, it can't be helped."
"Further, if you were not the one who killed He Chun, then you must have an alibi at the time of the crime."
"An alibi proves that I have."
"You have?"
"Yes, you said that the place where He Chun was killed was in Kanazawa, right?"
Ke Runze's appearance didn't look uneasy, and he asked Tian Chunda very calmly, but Tian Chunda was a little nervous.
"It's in Kanazawa, on the outskirts of Kanazawa."
"It doesn't make a difference to me whether it's in the suburbs or in the city. Because in the past six months, I have not left Nanguang City. β
"But for the sake of prudence, could you please recall the night of September 8th? I would like to know more specifically, where were you that night and what were you doing? β
