According to the information revealed by Lin Fangfang, Cheng Yao used some dishonorable means to pry Yu Wei away from his roommate in college, and now, the lover Yu Wei is looking for outside is her former college boyfriend - Xu Jie.
Xu Jie, 31 years old, a native of Jiangzhou, divorced and single. After divorcing his ex-wife three years ago, he went to Beijing to work. He returned to Jiangzhou two months ago and met Yu Wei by chance. The two quickly rekindled the love they had thirteen years ago and started an extramarital affair.
Cheng Yao's death had nothing to do with these two people, but during the investigation, the police found out something interesting, which was that after robbing the other person's girlfriend, Cheng Yao was ostracized by all the people in the dormitory. He also had an unknown history of attempting to molest a classmate in high school, and he became a celebrity in the school, known as the shame of Jiangda.
In Xu Jie's words, "Even if you talk about him with his former classmates now, basically everyone will say, 'Oh, the guy who robbed someone else's woman and attempted to molest her'."
Because he was ostracized by his roommates, Cheng Yao rented a house outside since his sophomore year. During that time, he had several conflicts with Yu Wei because of cheating. However, the two of them got married in the end, and no one knew how they maintained this relationship.
Xu Man was stunned by Cheng Yao's brilliant college life. Her first reaction was that Qin Shen was teasing her. "Is this true? He...they are too..."
"That's what's written in the report." Qin Shen looked at her with a smile, "Don't you think it's amazing? I was also shocked when I first saw it, thinking that it would be strange if such a chaotic interpersonal relationship didn't cause some trouble."
It was really confusing, Xu Man thought. Stealing someone else's girlfriend was fine. It was nothing new in life. At most, he would be called trash. But attempting to molest a classmate was a bit...
"Is it true that the deceased attempted to molest a classmate in high school?" she asked. "Is there a criminal record?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Zhu Zhuo ended his argument with Qi Fei, came over and said to her, "I checked his file. Was he here in his sophomore or junior year of high school? Anyway, he turned 18, so it was recorded directly."
"What? There is such a thing?" Li Shijie chuckled, "It seems that this guy is not a good person. No wonder his social circle is so messy, it is true that birds of a feather flock together."
"That's right, he cheated on his wife and found a mistress." Zhao Jia picked up a piece of duck meat and ate it directly with some sweet noodle sauce without wrapping it in lotus leaf skin. "In the end, he was killed by the mistress. I guess even if he escapes this time, his wife and lover might do something next time. There are many examples of wives teaming up with their lovers to kill their husbands."
Xu Man didn't say anything. After listening to Lin Fangfang's confession, she had a bad impression of the deceased. Now that she learned that he had a criminal record of attempted molestation, she felt even more disgusted. Although it was a bit disrespectful to the deceased to think so, overall, she really couldn't feel any sympathy for this man's murder.
Listening to their heated discussion, the people at the next table also joined in the discussion, "So according to what you said, all the people involved in this case are involved in something fishy and are not innocent?"
"You can't say that," Hang Qin said, "Didn't they say that the suspect was forced into prostitution? She can't be considered a mistress in the strict sense. She can only be said to be kept."
Zhao Jia turned around and said, "Is that so? That's a bit pitiful." He then asked Xu Man, "Hey, Xiao Man, didn't you go to listen to the suspect's interrogation this morning? How did you feel?"
Xu Man thought about it seriously, and said hesitantly, "Let's... let it be like that. She has her own reasons. From her point of view, she would also think that those two people deserved it. The boyfriend in Jiangzhou especially deserved it. But Cheng Yao... I think for her alone, it's not to the point where she has to kill him."
"Violence is addictive." Shen Donglei, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up. "Once people find that violence can solve their problems and bring them benefits, many people will choose to use violence again when they encounter difficulties for the second time. And this choice is repeated and lasting. In the end, they get deeper and deeper into the trap and unknowingly embark on the road of crime."
This serious answer was somewhat out of tune with the relaxed atmosphere around them. Everyone was silent for a moment. Zhu Zhuo uttered an "eh" and laughed dryly twice: "Very... makes sense."
"Okay, it's time to eat, why are you talking about this? Didn't you feel like you hadn't investigated enough cases in the team?" Qin Shen said calmly, "Besides, we are outside, in a public place. These things are confidential during the investigation. We can't talk about them casually, or we might violate the rules by accident."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone shut up and stopped discussing the case, except Li Shijie, who fearlessly hummed in a low voice, "The officials are allowed to set fires, but the common people are not allowed to light lamps." After he glanced at him, he also fell silent, lowered his head, and concentrated on fighting with the roast duck in the bowl.
Xu Man sat in the chair somewhat uncomfortably. Although Zhu Zhuo was the first to bring up the topic of the case, Qi Fei drew his attention away before he had spoken halfway. It was she who wanted to know about Yu Wei's extramarital affair, so she asked Qin Shen and brought the topic back to the case. However, Qin Shen only said this after he had explained everything to her, which inevitably gave people a feeling of favoritism.
But this is not the point. Li Shijie just snorted twice and didn't really make any sarcastic remarks. Others probably wouldn't care. The reason why she felt uncomfortable was more because of Shen Donglei's words, which reminded her of the incident in which Qin Shen beat someone up half a month ago.
Half a month ago, she ran out to buy medicine in the middle of the night and was nearly knocked unconscious and dragged away. It was Qin Shen who saved her, but he also beat up the suspect and was suspended from work for several days. Qin Shen was unwilling to talk more about this matter, and she didn't dare to ask in detail. She only got some inside information from Zhao Jia and Li Shijie.
For example, Shen Donglei was the one who interrogated the suspect with Qin Shen that night. When the suspect was rude and was beaten up by Qin Shen angrily, it was Shen Donglei who called for someone to hold him back. It cannot be said that he was wrong. In fact, he was the one who was right. Qin Shen was indeed impulsive in this matter, but...
"Violence is addictive." Is he talking about Lin Fangfang or Qin Shen?
If it was just a simple sentence, she might not think so much about it, but Qin Shen's reaction was also very strange. He suddenly changed his attitude and asked everyone to stop discussing the case. Did he think the same as her and said that because he was upset?
Xu Man lowered her head and stirred the crystal shrimp dumplings in the bowl. She had no appetite and was reluctant to move her chopsticks until a hand reached out and took the bowl in front of her. Only then did she look up in confusion and look at the person next to her.
"I'll serve you some rice. You don't seem to be very interested in roast duck." Qin Shen explained briefly, then leaned over to serve her a bowl of duck bone rice and put it back on the table in front of her. "Have you ever eaten this before?"
Xu Man cast her eyes towards the rice bowl in front of her. In the golden duck bone soup, plump rice grains were faintly visible, and a layer of finely chopped green onions floated on top. It looked good and smelled good. She had only eaten roast duck wrapped in lotus leaves and salt and pepper duck bones before, and this was the first time she had seen duck bone soaked in rice. She shook her head and said, "I've never eaten it before."
"Then try it. It's delicious and should suit your taste."
…
Lunch was spent with everyone chatting and eating. After Lin Fangfang was brought to justice, the investigation of the case came to an end. Everyone's tasks were no longer as busy as before, and they could take some time to catch their breath.
Xu Man was responsible for organizing the morning's inquiry records of Lin Fangfang. During the period, she learned another thing. That is, before Lin Fangfang bought the train ticket to her hometown Ningzhou, she sold the mobile phone she took from Cheng Yao to a store that specializes in buying and selling second-hand mobile phones. The store is 500 meters in front of the high-speed railway station in Yizhou, which is an hour and a half away from Mingzhou by high-speed train.
Since these were the remains of the deceased and were taken away by the suspect by improper means, the detachment had to send people to recover them. However, the bank cards and empty wallets thrown into the trash can along the way were difficult to find. A week had passed and the things in the trash can had been replaced several times, so they had to give up.
"She still has some brains. She knows that the bank card of the deceased cannot be touched casually." Zhu Zhuo complained bitterly about this, because the task of running around twice fell on him and Qi Fei, one was to Jiangzhou to investigate the case, and the other was to Yizhou to recover evidence. As a result, he had no good impression of Lin Fangfang at all. "Why didn't she think of transferring the money from the deceased's mobile payment to her? In this way, we can find her through the fund flow, and we don't have to spend so much time running around."
"You'd better save your energy." Qi Fei lay on the table and looked at his phone lazily. "After taking her to Jiumiao Mountain to identify the scene tomorrow, we will have to hand her over to Jiangzhou to identify the scene where she killed her boyfriend. By then, maybe the two of us will have to go with her."
Zhu Zhuo cursed at this.
"That's good too, just think of it as a public-funded trip." Zhao Jia at the side smiled gloatingly, "But I always feel that Jiangzhou is a very familiar place, as if I've heard of it somewhere."
"Nonsense, it's one of the most famous tourist cities in the country, of course you've heard of it."
"No, of course I know Jiangzhou, but someone must have mentioned this place to me, and it wasn't about tourism."
"It should be me." Xu Man said, "I'm from Jiangzhou. Maybe I mentioned it to you once."
"Yes, it seems to be you." Zhao Jia suddenly realized, "I almost forgot that you are from Jiangzhou, and you came to Xinjing to study in college, and finally came here for internship, right?"
Without waiting for Xu Man to nod, Zhu Zhuo suddenly became interested: "That's great. If someone is sent to escort the suspect to Jiangzhou, I recommend you, Sister Xu. You are a local of Jiangzhou, so you must be more familiar with Jiangzhou than I am. You can also take this opportunity to go back and see your family. It's a public-funded trip and a public-funded visit to relatives. How great!"
Qi Fei sneered: "Give up, there's no way Captain Qin will let her go. Little brother, just relax and go on a second trip to Jiangzhou with your brother."
"You'll know if you try it. I'll go talk to the team leader right away." Zhu Zhuo did what he said and ran to Zhang Hongfei, leaving Zhao Jia and Qi Fei staring in amazement.
"Is he serious?" Zhao Jia looked at Xu Man in disbelief. "Hey, why don't you stop him? What if he really convinces Zhang Group to send you to Jiangzhou?"
Xu Man didn't think it was a big deal, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I haven't been home for a long time. If there is really such an opportunity, I will definitely be willing to go."
