Chapter 149 Big Gossip
When Luo Qinglin saw Qiao Li, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then he smiled formally, stretched out his hand and greeted him actively.
"Hello, officer," Luo Qinglin said with a smile, "Thank you for coming all the way here."
"Qing, Qinglin, long time no see," Qiao Li took the initiative to hold Luo Qinglin's hand, "You haven't returned to Lincheng in the past few years. My parents miss you every New Year."
Luo Qinglin smiled and gently pulled his hand out of his hand. "I'm busy with school and work. I call them every year, and Uncle Qiao also understands."
Qiao Li wanted to say something else, but Jiang Yanyu interrupted, "Officer Qiao, we will return to Lincheng this winter, and Qinglin and I will go to visit your father and mother then."
But Qiao Li seemed to have not heard what he said, and asked himself: "Qinglin, why didn't you contact me for so many years? If I hadn't seen you again today, I would have thought you were missing."
It was obvious that Qiao Li wanted to continue chatting, the youthful infatuation from many years ago was written all over her face, and her purpose was exposed.
Luo Qinglin ignored it, took a step back, and moved closer to Jiang Yanyu, "Officer, Bai Shengyun is still waiting for you inside. Please go and find out the situation with him first."
Although Luo Qinglin was smiling, without his glasses, his eyes were like cold and charming shining stars, charming the mind and awakening people.
Luo Qinglin's aloofness was obvious. Qiao Li's gaze stayed on the two of them for a moment before he pushed the door and entered the ward.
After the door of the ward was closed, Luo Qinglin immediately stopped smiling, glanced at Jiang Yanyu, said nothing, and walked to the seat in the corridor with his arms folded.
"Jiang Yanyu, why is he here? If you call the police, it will just happen to be him who will be reported?" Luo Qinglin asked in a cold voice.
Canary was unhappy. She stopped calling him brother and just addressed him by his full name, without any of the softness and coquettishness in the encrypted messages.
"Yes, it's such a coincidence." Jiang Yanyu pretended to be stupid, then sat next to Luo Qinglin and rested his head on his shoulder.
"That's such a coincidence, it's so coincidental that Qiao Li can actually cross the jurisdiction to handle the case?" Luo Qinglin asked, glancing sideways.
Hearing this, Jiang Yanyu became alert again and straightened up, "How do you remember which jurisdiction he was handling the case in?"
The vixen was obviously sensitive and jealous. She would become alert at the slightest sign of trouble and had to call people over to make herself feel uneasy.
Luo Qinglin suspected that Jiang Yanyu was really the reincarnation of a fox spirit. She had eight hundred tricks in her mind and was the kind of troublesome and arrogant fox who loved to make trouble for himself and he had to coax her in the end.
"Uncle Qiao contacted me recently. He knew I was in Shanghai and asked me to meet Qiao Li when I have time."
At this point, Luo Qinglin noticed something was wrong, turned his head and stared at Jiang Yanyu and asked: "You...you eavesdropped on my phone call?"
Jiang Yanyu raised his eyebrows, not ashamed, and said confidently, "Didn't you promise to meet him and have a meal? I'll call him over for you, is there any problem?"
Luo Qinglin's focus was no longer on eavesdropping, but on Jiang Yanyu starting to secretly record the conversation without telling him.
"When did you start monitoring my phone?" Luo Qinglin asked with a squinting look, "Why didn't you tell me?"
Jiang Yanyu coughed lightly, looking embarrassed. "I didn't monitor it. I overheard it by chance when I was standing outside the door waiting for you while you were on the phone in the bathroom."
The word "coincidentally" sounded unbelievable. Luo Qinglin imagined the scene of Jiang Yanyu leaning against the door panel with a serious face, but eavesdropping on his conversation. He suddenly found it funny and humorous.
"Just ask me if you want to know anything. Eavesdropping is nothing, you idiot."
Luo Qinglin turned sideways and imitated Jiang Yanyu's way of pinching his face, grabbing the vixen's thin and slightly sunken face with both hands and pulling it to the sides.
"I didn't eavesdrop. I just happened to hear it."
"How can it be a coincidence? It must be that what I said had to float into your ears, so you heard it."
"I dreamed about it, okay?"
"How could it be a dream? I was the one who whispered it in your ear when you were asleep."
The young couple pretended to bicker in a sarcastic way, but were actually flirting, and it lasted for a while before they calmed down.
After the commotion, Qiao Li was still asking questions in the ward, and some tiny sounds came through the crack in the door.
Compared to when he first met Qiao Li, Luo Qinglin was in a more positive mood, so Jiang Yanyu asked, "Luo Qinglin, do you hate him?"
Luo Qinglin recalled the hateful look Qiao Li had given him, as well as the boy's panting as he hid in the room on a rainy night. He thought to himself that he didn't hate Qiao Li at that time, he was just afraid of her.
Because he had a brain disease at the time and was young, Luo Qinglin was lucky not to be held accountable and stayed in the hospital for several months before he was released.
After being discharged from the hospital, Luo Qinglin became homeless, so Qiao Lianghui took him in and took care of him at his home.
At first, Qiao Li just didn't talk to him, feeling uncomfortable with having a stranger in her home.
Later, Luo Qinglin "stole" Qiao Lianghui's attention and took away half of Qiao Li's room. Qiao Li then regarded him as an enemy and an invader and hated him extremely.
The child's prank was insignificant. The real reason why Luo Qinglin decided to move out was the tiny panting sound of Qiao Li calling his name with her back to him every late night.
But when day fell, in front of Qiao Lianghui, Qiao Li turned into the person who hated him again, a completely different person from the one in the night, as if possessed by an evil spirit.
Luo Qinglin didn't understand what Qiao Li's eyes meant at that time, he just felt uneasy and scared instinctively.
After talking to Qiao Lianghui several times, Luo Qinglin was finally able to escape. He no longer had to stay in the room, worried by the panting sounds behind him.
However, even though he fell in love with Jiang Yanyu later, Luo Qinglin still couldn't understand what Qiao Li meant. It couldn't be said that she liked him, otherwise why would she hate him and attack him with vicious words like "murderer", "orphan" and "beggar" every day?
If you like someone, shouldn't you be tolerant of everything about that person and like everything about that person? How can you attack with vicious language?
"Luo Qinglin, do you hate him? What did he do to you?" Jiang Yanyu stared at Luo Qinglin and asked.
Luo Qinglin quickly pulled himself back to reality from his memories, and he came to his senses. He subconsciously smiled at Jiang Yanyu, "It's not that I hate him, it's just that we're not familiar with each other and it feels awkward. If you hadn't asked him to come, I wouldn't have thought of meeting him."
Jiang Yanyu's eyes were fixed, as if he was examining the credibility of his words. It was unclear whether he believed it or not. He did not comment, but just remained silent.
The atmosphere was a little stagnant.
Luo Qinglin coughed lightly and muttered softly, "Don't you want to talk about the past? I don't want to say more, it's embarrassing, so I won't tell you, brother."
I don’t know which words touched Jiang Yanyu, but his fox eyes slightly opened, and his eyelids rose for a moment and then fell again.
Jiang Yanyu looked away and said, "Okay, it's up to you. It doesn't matter whether you want to say it or not."
"By the way, where is Apple? Did you receive the message I sent?" Luo Qinglin asked, changing the subject.
Thinking of the surprised expressions of the people around him when they heard the Canary call, Jiang Yanyu smiled and replied, "I bought it. Someone will deliver it to me later."
Still need someone to deliver it?
Luo Qinglin felt uneasy and subconsciously thought that Jiang Yanyu was going to do something bad again.
"How many apples did you buy?" Luo Qinglin asked.
"It's a lot," Jiang Yanyu smiled slyly, "Bai Shengyun couldn't finish it in a whole year."
"Qinglin, Mr. Jiang, please come in." Qiao Li's voice came from the ward.
Jiang Yanyu stood up, took Luo Qinglin's hand, interlocked their fingers, and then pushed the door open.
Everyone in the ward looked strange. Bai Shengyun was pale as if he had lost his soul, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Gu Nanan was standing by the window, his eyes rolling around, as if he had eaten some gossip. When he saw Luo Qinglin come in, he almost couldn't help but walk up to him and pull him to talk.
Hearing the sound, Bai Shengyun slowly turned his head, looked weakly at Luo Qinglin and Jiang Yanyu's empty hands, then turned back, his eyes dull, without making any noise.
Bai Shengyun changed his personality after being educated by the police officer?
Luo Qinglin was suspicious. He walked to Bai Shengyun's bed, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you?"
Bai Shengyun didn't say anything. He turned his face to the other side, speechless and looking very sad, but there was a kind of silly look in him that made Luo Qinglin unable to utter any gentle words of comfort.
"The apples will be delivered soon. You can eat them as long as you want." Luo Qinglin tried his best to coax her.
Hearing this, Bai Shengyun closed his eyes and pretended to fall asleep, but in fact, the wings of his nose and the corners of his lips were trembling slightly.
It was rare to see Bai Shengyun being so quiet, Luo Qinglin was not used to it yet, he stood up straight, and said stiffly, "Officer...?"
Qiao Li's eyes dimmed for a moment, he cleared his throat and returned to work, and asked, "Qinglin, is Miss Xiao Ruxuan your personal assistant?"
"I guess so, but she is more free and easy-going and usually doesn't work with me." Luo Qinglin answered cautiously.
After getting the answer, Qiao Li asked again: "Mr. Jiang, do you know the true relationship between Miss Xiao Ruxuan and Mr. Bai Shengyun?"
"I know." Jiang Yanyu answered without hesitation.
"According to Mr. Bai's statement, when he arrived at the filming site, the walkie-talkie and headphones were already placed in the makeup and rest room. He asked the staff if they were communication devices and only used them after receiving a positive answer."
"Around 2 a.m. today, Mr. Gu came out of Lalin Bar and returned to the hotel. He happened to see Ms. Xiao leaving the hotel with a black bag. When he left in the morning, Xiao Ruxuan had not returned to the hotel and has not been seen since."
Qiao Li talked a lot, but Luo Qinglin didn't understand what he wanted to say, so he had to ask: "What does this... mean? Can you get through to her on the phone? Have you contacted her?"
"There are surveillance cameras at the entrance and top of the bungee jumping tower. According to the surveillance at the top of the tower, she entered Mr. Bai's dressing room at 4:40 carrying a black bag and left on time five minutes later. When she left, the bag had disappeared."
"According to statements from other staff, the first time they saw the intercom was after daybreak."
Qiao Li pulled up the surveillance footage sent by the police station on the PC he carried with him and showed it to Luo Qinglin. The surveillance footage was exactly as Qiao Li had described.
"You mean, Xiao Ruxuan did this? Even if she went into the dressing room, it doesn't mean that the intercom was prepared by her, right?" Luo Qinglin felt weird and asked with a frown.
"It's still uncertain at the moment. Once we find out the transportation and purchase history of the walkie-talkie based on its factory serial number, we'll know who the criminal is," Qiao Li said. "However, based on Mr. Bai's statement, Ms. Xiao does have a motive to be suspected."
What's the motive? It can’t be because of Qin Xiaoxi?
Luo Qinglin didn’t think that Xiao Ruxuan really liked Qin Xiaoxi, it was just that the big guy in the lesbian circle felt it was new and he was just teasing her out of boredom.
"What's the motive?" Luo Qinglin asked with a frown, as the words became more and more complicated the more he listened.
"Because she is jealous of me!" Bai Shengyun suddenly opened his eyes and shouted with a wronged look, "She is jealous that I am my mother's son, but no one knows that she is my mother's daughter!"
daughter......? !
No wonder Gu Nanan looked at him as if he had just eaten some gossip!
