Chapter 53 Chapter 53 Suspect

Chi Xi asked Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman to go eat barbecue, but Ning Hongying didn't want to go and she wanted to stay and open the shop.

Fang Xiaoman was very sad.

Sister Hongying used to treat money as dirt, but now she can't even spare time for meals.

It turns out that it was because there wasn’t enough “manure” before?

Chi Xi treated Fang Xiaoman to a meal, and she ate heartily and even ordered beer.

She also has to consider work. She had originally decided to stay at Longxinggang Police Station, but her elder sister didn't seem happy?

She also wanted to go to the Public Security Bureau in Changxia, but everything in Changxia was more formal than in Longxinggang, and Fang Xiaoman was worried that she would not have enough freedom.

Most importantly, if she resigns, will she be able to find another job?

Fang Xiaoman opened a bottle of beer for herself with a worried look on her face.

Well, let’s not talk about work for now, drinking is more important.

Sang Baiyu doesn't like drinking, and usually just drinks with others.

Chi Xi and Fang Xiaoman were drinking very happily.

Seeing that Chi Xi was almost drunk, Sang Baiyu found the pager in Chi Xi's trouser pocket.

Xiaolingtong has no password.

Sang Baiyu looked at the information first.

There is no WeChat now, so we have to rely on text messages to send messages.

In the inbox, Sang Baiyu found several messages sent by Chi Xi, addressed to Chi Zhao. The content of the messages was all nagging him about how many "dangerous" things he had encountered.

Chi Zhao did not reply.

Chi Xi and Chi Mingyuan only talk on the phone. The last call was recorded yesterday. Chi Mingyuan called Chi Xi, but Chi Xi didn't answer.

Sang Baiyu wrote down Chi Mingyuan's PHS number.

Hui Haiming has this number, it is Chi Mingyuan's public phone number.

Sang Baiyu confirmed the information column again. After Chi Mingyuan called Chi Xi yesterday, Chi Xi did not call back or send him a message.

That shouldn’t be the case, right?

Sang Baiyu studied Chi Xi's address book.

Chi Xi has a lot of bad friends, he always hangs around Sang Baiyu and hasn't contacted them recently.

Among them, there is a number with the note 1. After Chi Mingyuan called Chi Xi yesterday, Chi Xi called 1 two hours later.

Sang Baiyu also memorized the number 1, and then sent the phone to Chi Xi, "Why did you mark him with the number 1? He just called you."

Chi Xi was startled and sat up in panic, grabbing the little pager, "You're dead?!"

Sang Baiyu: "Oh, I was just kidding. I just thought the note was a bit weird."

Chi Xi breathed a sigh of relief, collapsed on the table and continued to sleep soundly.

Judging from Chi Xi's reaction, Sang Baiyu can almost confirm 1's identity.

Chi Xi is only afraid of two people, one is Chi Mingyuan and the other is Chi Zhao.

He had sent many messages to Chi Zhao's number. Chi Zhao had no intention of hiding his phone number, so this 1 was more likely to be Chi Mingyuan.

Sang Baiyu passed the news to Hui Haiming.

Just as she was thinking about how to lure Chi Mingyuan over, her pager rang.

It was Ning Hongying calling.

Sang Baiyu picked up the phone, but heard a strange man's voice, "Hello, this is the Changxia City Public Security Bureau. Comrade Ning Hongying is suspected of murder and needs to cooperate with the investigation. Could you please come and handle the formalities?"

*

Fang Xiaoman and Chi Xi were mostly sober, and the three of them rushed to the police station.

Detective Duan Hao came over to greet them.

Sang Baiyu looked at the other person calmly.

The criminal police in Changxia do look different from those in Longxinggang, and they are more energetic.

Although Duan Hao was wearing casual clothes, one could still tell that his profession was unusual. His eyes looked kind, but were as sharp as an eagle.

Before the two parties even get to know each other, they have already started to evaluate each other in their minds.

Duan Hao was the first to extend his hand. "Excuse me, everyone. Are you Ning Hongying's family members? I'm afraid we need to take a statement as well."

Fang Xiaoman looked at Sang Baiyu worriedly.

How did Ning Hongying get involved in a murder case?

Sang Baiyu nodded calmly, "I understand."

The three people were questioned in turn.

Only after confirming that they had nothing to do with the murder did Sang Baiyu find out some inside information.

After they left, Ning Hongying waited until seven o'clock to close the shop as usual.

She claimed that she was going to look for her sisters, but on the way she saw a dying person in the corner of the alley.

He was still breathing at the time, and Ning Hongying walked forward to check.

"Witnesses said the deceased kept holding your sister's hand and wouldn't let her leave," Duan Hao said. "Two more people walked over, but the deceased still only held your sister."

Things will be difficult.

Ning Hongying was taken back to the police station as a suspect.

Fang Xiaoman asked: "Who is the deceased?"

She pulled out her Longxinggang ID and said, "I'm a forensic pathologist. Although I don't work in Changxia, I can help."

Duan Hao smiled and said, "Our forensic doctor has already gone to perform the autopsy. Don't worry, Ning Hongying won't be wrongly accused. We are looking for witnesses to prove the time when Ning Hongying left the store."

But Ning Hongying couldn't leave until she found new clues.

Naturally, Sang Baiyu could not see Ning Hongying either.

Leaving the Public Security Bureau, Fang Xiaoman was bewildered. "Hongying is locked up? Are we being set up?"

Chi Xi said: "The police here are too inflexible. They always keep everything confidential. You are a meritorious official of Longxinggang Police Station. How can we keep it secret from you? We can help!"

Sang Baiyu said: "The attitude of the Changxia police is normal. We are outsiders and the suspect's family members. Will they believe us?"

"What should we do then?" Fang Xiaoman asked, "Can we just wait for them to investigate? Will they bully Hongying?"

Sang Baiyu said, "We can't just sit there and wait. We have to find the witnesses."

Their store is in a busy area and it's only seven o'clock in the evening, so it shouldn't be difficult to find witnesses.

Chi Xi asked: "Who is the dead person? Why is he holding Sister Hongying? Could it be someone Sister Hongying knows?"

Sang Baiyu was very worried about Ning Hongying and didn't want to pay attention to Chi Xi.

The three of them returned to the store and went door to door asking questions.

There is a breakfast shop next door, and he is sleeping there now, so he definitely cannot testify for Ning Hongying.

Ning Hongying was not very lucky, and no one in the nearby stores paid attention to her.

Sang Baiyu went to look for pedestrians on the road.

Wu Yuanqing always said that the job of a detective is to keep visiting and looking for clues.

Sang Baiyu is used to "cheating" and is really not used to visiting.

She walked nearly two blocks but couldn't find any witnesses.

At the same time, she also smelled a familiar scent.

Sang Baiyu walked forward and saw two policemen in uniform and a cordon.

With the dim light of the street lamp, Sang Baiyu could see a large pool of blood behind the cordon.

This is the crime scene.

Judging from the location of the crime scene, Ning Hongying wanted to look for them after closing the store, and passed by here and found the dying deceased.

Sang Baiyu sniffed it lightly and was shocked.

The deceased was the beggar I saw this afternoon?!
