Chapter 71: The Test (2)
"When did you go to the United States? And for what other reason did you go to the United States? Li Sui asked further.
"I think you also heard from the police that I recently had a girlfriend, but after my father found out, he strongly objected, and he always wanted me to marry a young lady."
"But my girlfriend's family background is average, I don't know, why does he want me to marry a rich man's child, when we were still living in my relatives before, I don't know how much rich people were idle."
"Besides, he's not out of money now, the last time I saw his deposit, there were at least tens of millions in it. There is no need to improve our lives by asking me to find a partner. ”
"On Thursday morning, he and I had another big fight over it, and then I contacted my girlfriend and the two of us went on vacation to the United States."
"Then why are you so busy coming back? Obviously it's hard to go to the United States? Li Sui was puzzled.
"Well, I wanted to stay a few more days, but my girlfriend has to go to work. She works at the city's Xiaojin Bank. ”
She can only take a day and a half off and go back to work on Monday. So, I flew back with her at six o'clock on Sunday morning. Ma Xiaofei explained.
"Don't you have to go to work?" Li Sui asked further.
"That's right, I opened a coffee shop next to Xiaojin Bank, and my time is relatively free."
"I beg your pardon for taking the liberty of asking, does your father know about the two of you going to America together?"
"I don't know about this, and we haven't been in touch since."
"Has your girlfriend met your father?"
"No, my girlfriend and I have just met, except for her at work and home, we are together almost every day, if she had seen my father, I would not have known."
"Then she doesn't know that your father doesn't approve of your relationship?"
"Yes, I didn't tell her, I didn't want her to worry about this kind of thing, including this trip to the United States, I didn't tell her because of my quarrel with my father, I just lied to her and said that the coffee shop business has not been good recently, so I'm in a bad mood, and I'm going to go out for a walk."
"Well, that's the end of today's conversation, thank you for your cooperation. Finally, let me ask you another question, what is the name of your girlfriend? Lee and Sheriff Eno got up to leave.
"Zhu Yixuan." When Ma Xiaofei said her girlfriend's name, his eyes were full of happiness.
"Please send someone to investigate Zhu Yixuan's situation, and confirm whether Ma Xiaofei has been with her during his time in the United States, and whether he has spoken to other people on the phone on the way."
"Of course, you also check whether Ma Xiaofei has any recent large-amount transfer records or fund changes." On the way to the bar owner's house, Li Sui said to Sheriff Eno.
"Are you suspicious ......"
"No, I'm just doing it for the sake of prudence. First of all, Ma Xiaofei was in the United States at the time of the crime, so it is impossible for Ma Yunfei to be killed by him. ”
"If he wants to kill Ma Yunfei, there is only one way left to buy murder. However, through the conversation just now, I found that the possibility of Ma Xiaofei buying a murder is not very high. ”
"First of all, the first point, if he bought a murderer, I don't think he called his girlfriend to the United States together, because the two are a couple, so they should be together for a long time, and it is difficult to have time to contact the murderer alone to arrange a specific plan."
"At this time, if he finds a friend to go with him, I think it will be more conducive to carrying out the plan to buy a murderer, and he can use this friend to make his own alibi."
"The second point is that even if he had a plan to kill the victim, I don't think he would be in a hurry to do it for a while, he had just quarreled with his father on the front foot, and his father was found dead in his own home. Anyone would list him as an important object of suspicion. ”
"The third point is also an important point, he just inadvertently revealed that Ma Yunfei has tens of millions of deposits in his bank account, if he is a murderer, it stands to reason that he should hide this fact, because it is obvious that this incident will only increase his suspicion of crime."
"Of course, that's just my speculation. Some high-IQ criminals may do the opposite to mislead the police. I'll just let you check again. ”
"It's really you, I believe that with your help, this case will be solved soon." After listening to Li Sui's explanation, Sheriff Eno cast an approving glance at him.
They soon arrived at the bar owner's house. The owner's name is Zhang Gui and he lives on the third floor of an old-fashioned apartment. There is no property management, there is no surveillance nearby, and there is a small convenience store underneath.
The place should take forty minutes one way from the villa of the deceased. Although he is the boss, he lives in a place that is not as good as an ordinary company employee, which can't help but make people sigh.
When he first arrived at the door, Li Sui suddenly tripped over something, and if it wasn't for Sheriff Eno helping him, he would definitely fall.
Han Dongxuan looked at it and it turned out to be a black garbage bag. Han Dongxuan didn't care anymore, and then rang the doorbell, and the door was opened by a middle-aged man, about in his early forties, with a thin figure, probably due to the economic downturn, business was difficult, and there was a trace of gray in his hair.
After knowing Han Dongxuan's intentions, Zhang Gui recounted to them the situation on the night of the crime. According to him, he had bad luck that day. Business was very cold, so he closed at eight o'clock and went home.
On the way up the stairs, he tripped over a banana peel. Since he returned home, he has been watching the hit TV series "The Temptation to Go Home". He went downstairs to the convenience store around ten o'clock to buy some food, then went back upstairs and spent about ten minutes cooking, and went to bed after supper.
"Is there anyone who can prove that you stayed at home after you finished buying groceries?" Li Sui asked.
"No, I'm living alone. Besides, you can see that this is an old-fashioned apartment, and the people who live here are often some older people. They tend to go to bed early at night and don't pay attention to other people's homes. ”
"So, can you tell me more about the situation on the night you had an argument with Mr. Ma Yunfei before?"
