Chapter 52 Yu Chuxiao
◎What if I also gave birth to a heartless child?◎
The door of the conference room opened and a man in dark blue overalls walked in.
He was about 1.65 meters tall, slightly fat, bald, about 50 years old, and wearing glasses. He looked a little excited, walked over quickly, and asked anxiously: "Is there any news about Wei Qingwan?"
Zhu Feipeng: "Liang Chenghong?"
The man sat opposite the three people: "Yes."
Zhu Feipeng shook his head: "There is no news about Wei Qingwan at the moment, we are just making routine inquiries. Do you still remember if there was anything unusual before Wei Qingwan disappeared?"
Liang Chenghong placed his hands on the table and sighed: "It's been more than a year, how come there is no news at all? Such a big man, and he is gone..."
He was unwilling to say the four words "die without seeing the body", turned his head away, a trace of sadness flashed across his expression.
Zhu Feipeng and He Mingyu looked at each other.
Wei Qingwan has been missing for so long, her biological daughter Yu Chuxiao renovated the house, got married, and started her new life. When she heard that her mother might have had an affair with her ex-boyfriend, she angrily shouted that she should die. The psychological impact made everyone feel very unhappy. Fortunately, Liang Chenghong still had a conscience and was always thinking about Wei Qingwan.
Zhu Feipeng asked: "What was wrong with Wei Qingwan during the period before she disappeared?"
Liang Chenghong's eyes darkened and he lowered his head.
[During that time, she became more fashionable and dressed more sexy. Her clothes used to be loose and comfortable, but during that time, they were all tight-fitting. And... her skin was glowing and very beautiful. Whenever I looked at her, my heart would beat fast.]
Seeing that he remained silent, Zhu Feipeng asked again.
Liang Chenghong chose words to describe it: "During that time, she became more beautiful and more feminine."
When a woman suddenly becomes more beautiful, it is mostly because she is in love. A woman in love secretes more estrogen and dopamine, her skin becomes smoother, her complexion becomes better, and she naturally becomes more beautiful.
Zhu Feipeng asked: "Why do you think this is the case?"
Liang Chenghong smiled bitterly, "I have been pursuing her for almost six years, and she was indifferent to me and was very polite. But during that period, I suddenly seemed to be ten years younger. It happened that Yu Chuxiao's boyfriend often came to her house for dinner. Which of my colleagues didn't gossip about her? They all said that she looked down on old people and liked young people. She became younger when she saw a pretty boy. Some people also said that Wei Qingwan looked dignified, but was actually coquettish. She had been a widow for so long, and she probably couldn't stand the loneliness anymore."
He Mingyu looked at Liang Chenghong: "So you still care about her?"
Liang Chenghong said: "Everyone loves beauty. I don't blame Wei Qingwan for liking young people. I like her sincerely and hope she lives a good life. I am only worried that she was deceived by that pretty boy. I once warned her indirectly. But she was very unhappy and told me to just take care of myself."
[If a person is a scumbag, who can stop her? She gave up a good job, a good home, and a man like me who has such good conditions, and insisted on hooking up with a man no one has ever seen. What is the result? I can only say that it is her own fault. ]
Hearing Liang Chenghong's thoughts, Zhao Xiangwan lowered his eyes and said nothing.
He Mingyu was also very calm. Having had the experience of investigating Pan Guoqing last time, He Mingyu was not fooled by Liang Chenghong's appearance.
If nothing else, it's just too unreasonable.
An ordinary man would feel ashamed and angry when being rejected by a woman. How could he be so magnanimous as to say something like "Wei Qingwan likes young men, I don't blame her"?
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal - this is what Zhao Xiangwan often said. He Mingyu glanced at Zhao Xiangwan.
Zhu Feipeng asked directly: "Wei Qingwan was missing from 5:30 pm on September 23, 1990 to 8 am on September 25. During this period, where were you?
What to do?
Liang Chenghong answered quickly: "I am in the factory. The 23rd is Sunday. My daughter has been married for a long time. I usually live alone and usually don't work at home. I go to the cafeteria to get food around 6 o'clock, then sit at home and eat while watching TV. I go to bed around 10 o'clock. I get up at 7 o'clock the next day as usual and go to work at 8 o'clock."
[It has been more than a year, why did the police come to investigate Wei Qingwan's case? What did I do that day? I lay in bed at 10 o'clock and couldn't fall asleep, so I went out for a walk. I wandered to 103, Building 12, South, where Wei Qingwan lived. I didn't expect that it was 11:30 and everyone else was asleep, but Wei Qingwan was wearing a tight short skirt and pushing a bicycle out of the storage room. I stopped her at the time and saw her legs exposed, bare, smooth, and white. I couldn't suppress the evil fire in my heart. Seeing that there was no one around, I said a few dirty words, and she slapped me in the face. Alas... I was so embarrassed! ]
Zhao Xiangwan narrowed his eyes and raised his voice when he heard this: "You went to bed at ten o'clock? I heard that people tend to suffer from insomnia when they are older. I'm afraid that Engineer Liang can't sleep?"
Liang Chenghong just turned fifty this year, but because he is bald, he looks a few years older than people of the same age. Perhaps because of the frustration he suffered from Wei Qingwan, he hates it most when others say he is old. When he heard this, he got angry: "You little policeman, how rude! What does it have to do with you whether I can sleep or not?"
Zhao Xiangwan was neither angry nor anxious: "If I can't sleep, maybe I'll go out for a walk, maybe I can meet Wei Qingwan?"
Liang Chenghong's heart skipped a beat: "You, what do you mean?" His eyes widened, his nostrils flared, and his brows raised - this was an expression of fear.
Zhu Feipeng had also been trained by Zhao Xiangwan. He immediately realized that there was something wrong with Liang Chenghong. He immediately frowned and shouted, "Tell the truth!"
Liang Chenghong's eyes wandered.
[Can I tell the truth? I absolutely cannot. I have been praised by people in the factory for being loyal and honest all my life. How can I tell the police that I stopped Wei Qingwan from flirting with me and used her date with her boyfriend to force her to have sex with me? Tsk tsk tsk tsk, I have been dreaming about her for so many years and finally got her. It feels so good.]
Hearing Liang Chenghong's shameless words, Zhao Xiangwan bit her lip and felt a little physically uncomfortable.
He Mingyu is a thoughtful person. She has worked side by side with Zhao Xiangwan for a year and solved many cases, big and small. When she saw Zhao Xiangwan frowning, her impression of Liang Chenghong immediately became worse.
"Liang Chenghong, you concealed the truth from the police, which proves that Wei Qingwan's disappearance is related to you. Come on! Let's go back to the Municipal Bureau for further investigation."
Liang Chenghong panicked when he heard this, and waved his hands quickly, saying, "No, no, I didn't hide anything. I went to bed after 10 o'clock and didn't see anything." If the police knew that he raped Wei Qingwan, wouldn't he go to jail? Anyway, Wei Qingwan hadn't been heard from for so many years, and she might have died a long time ago. Once she died, who would know that he had done such a shameless thing?
Liang Chenghong denied it, and no one could prove that he was lying. He Mingyu used the micro-expression behavioral theory that Zhao Xiangwan had mentioned to observe his abnormality. She could feel that Liang Chenghong was lying, but how to make him tell the truth? She had no idea at all.
Zhu Feipeng and He Mingyu looked at Zhao Xiangwan at the same time.
Zhao Xiangwan's voice was very calm: "Liang Chenghong, you said you went to bed after ten o'clock. At what time did you fall asleep? Soon, half an hour later, an hour later, but you still couldn't fall asleep?"
After each question, Zhao Xiangwan paused for half a second.
"Good, you haven't fallen asleep yet. What should you do if you can't fall asleep? Continue lying down? Go downstairs and walk around?"
Liang Chenghong's eyes began to become nervous and he looked to the upper right unconsciously, which meant that he was trying hard to tell a lie.
"It seems you went downstairs. Who did you meet? Wei Qingwan, right?"
Liang Chenghong stood up suddenly, his face turned livid: "Where did you police come from? You are making up stories! I am not your prisoner. I am just cooperating with the Security Department to explain the situation. I will not tolerate you throwing dirty water on my head."
Zhu Feipeng immediately stood up, walked around the conference table and stood on Liang Chenghong, put his hand on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Don't be anxious, sit down and answer her questions patiently."
Liang Chenghong usually neglected to exercise, and although he looked muscular, he actually had no strength. After being pressed down by Zhu Feipeng, he sat back down, a little flustered, and loudly shouted: "Director Dai, Director Dai——"
The soundproofing of the meeting room of the Security Department was good. Once the door was closed, no sound could get out. Liang Chenghong called for a long time but no one came. He felt uneasy and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "You, what do you want to ask?"
Zhao Xiangwan stared at him intently with a lightning-like gaze: "What time did you meet Wei Qingwan? Half past ten, eleven o'clock, eleven thirty, twelve o'clock..."
"Oh, it seems we met around 11:30. Wei Qingwan was wearing a black dress and black sandals that day, right? She lives on the first floor. She came out pushing her bicycle. There was no one around her. It was very quiet, wasn't it?"
Liang Chenghong didn't say anything, but the sweat that kept coming out of his forehead told everyone one fact - Zhao Xiangwan's guess was accurate.
"You stopped Wei Qingwan and talked to her, right? In fact, the last person Wei Qingwan saw was you! You didn't tell the police at the police station such important information. You must have hidden something. What is it? If you don't tell us, we will go back and apply for an arrest warrant, and then..."
Liang Chenghong was guilty of his crime, and after being forced into a corner by Zhao Xiangwan, he thought the police already had evidence, so he was so frightened that he blurted out everything he should and shouldn't say.
"I did meet Wei Qingwan, probably around 11:30 pm. I lived in South Building 13 and she lived in South Building 12, separated by only a cement road. It was late, and everyone in the family quarters had gone to bed. The lights in the rooms were off, and only the street lights were on. It was very quiet.
The street lights were not very bright. I walked to the east end of South Building 12 and suddenly saw the lights in Wei Qingwan's house were on. Through the stained glass, her shadow was vaguely reflected on the window. It was so beautiful. Even a fleeting shadow was so beautiful that it took my breath away.
Zhu Feipeng interrupted him impatiently: "Just speak clearly and concisely later, and don't write poetry here." He is already in his teens, and he still speaks such corny words. It's really annoying.
Liang Chenghong was immersed in memories, his face flushed and he felt abnormally excited.
"Then, I heard the door ring, and Wei Qingwan came out pushing a bicycle. Her movements were very gentle, and she closed the iron door very slowly, as if she was a thief. To get out of the first-floor unit, you have to go down three steps, and she was also very careful with her bicycle, afraid of making any noise. When I saw her like this, I felt a little uncomfortable. Wei Qingwan usually does things openly, but now she is walking out so late, and she is so careful. She must be going out to have an affair!"
When Liang Chenghong mentioned the word "cheating", he gritted his teeth, as if Wei Qingwan was his wife.
He Mingyu rolled his eyes and tapped heavily on the notebook with his hand.
Zhao Xiangwan reached out his hand, patted her arm gently, and signaled her with his eyes to be quiet, listen carefully and take good notes.
"She walked out of the apartment and onto the path. She was about to ride her bike, but I walked a few steps faster and stopped her. With the help of the street lights, I saw that she was very happy. It was a bit cold at night in late September, but she was only wearing a dress that was so short that it didn't even cover her knees. How shameless."
Although he said "How shameless", Liang Chenghong was thinking of some pornographic pictures in his mind. Zhao Xiangwan interrupted his reverie: "Stop her and tell her what she said and what she did. Tell her the truth!"
Liang Chenghong was startled by Zhao Xiangwan's cold eyes. The flame that had just risen in his lower abdomen was instantly extinguished. He shrank his neck, raised his hand to touch his sparse head, and continued to tell the story.
"When she saw me, she was obviously startled and her face changed. She was full of smiles just now, but suddenly she became cold as ice. I asked her where she was going, and she said she had something to go out for. I asked her who she was going to meet so late at night, and she said it was none of her business. I said, "You are wearing such a short skirt, are you going out to meet a strange man?" She said it was her private matter and asked me to respect myself."
Liang Chenghong's voice suddenly became louder: "I respect myself? How can I not respect myself? I have liked her for six years and asked several people to introduce her to me, but she was just indifferent. She said that she was old and just wanted to spend her life with Chu Xiao, and she didn't have the heart to do it. But what? Did she really have no heart to do it? She ran out in the middle of the night and dressed up like that to show herself to me. She is so coquettish and mean!"
The more Zhu Feipeng listened, the colder his heart became. As a criminal policeman, Zhu Feipeng had seen many corpses and murders, and when he encountered a missing person case, he would always subconsciously pray for the other party to return safely. However, according to his experience in handling cases, if a single woman went out in the middle of the night and there was no news for more than a year, it was more likely that she had committed a murder.
Zhao Xiangwan deliberately said to him, "What does it have to do with you if she goes out in the middle of the night? You are just one of her suitors. She has the right to accept a better man."
Liang Chenghong was really stung by the precision, and his emotions became excited: "She is a middle-aged woman in her forties, she should be grateful that I want her, why is she so picky and looking for someone like that? I once saw her sending Yu Chuxiao's boyfriend out, bah! I could tell at a glance from her flirtatiousness that there was something fishy going on between them, she thinks everyone else is blind, she must be a fool."
Zhao Xiangwan pressed, "Did you tell her clearly?"
Liang Chenghong said angrily, "Yes! I told her. I scolded her for stealing my daughter's boyfriend. She was shameless and inhuman. She refused to admit it at first, so I lied to her and said that I saw her dating Xiao Tan with my own eyes. I said I would tell Yu Chuxiao and make her daughter hate her for the rest of her life."
Zhu Feipeng raised his eyebrows: "Will she believe it?"
Liang Chenghong smiled strangely, "She couldn't help but believe it. She was so scared that her face turned pale. When she heard that I would tell Yu Chuxiao, she almost couldn't even hold her bicycle steady. I have been pursuing her for so many years and trying to please everyone around her, including Yu Chuxiao. I tutored Chuxiao in high school math and physics. She treats me like a father and believes everything I say. Besides, if this matter is planted, the relationship between them will never be the same as before. Wei Qingwan regards Yu Chuxiao as her own life. How dare she take such a risk?"
Zhao Xiangwan shook his head, with a look of disdain on his face: "It is not gentlemanly to ask for someone's privacy."
The emotions that had been suppressed for too long suddenly found an outlet. Liang Chenghong completely tore off the mask of an honest man, and his facial muscles twitched: "Gentleman? It's because I've been a gentleman for too long that I've been fawning on Wei Qingwan for six years without even touching her finger. When I didn't act like a gentleman and just scared her, she put her little hand on my mouth and begged me to keep it a secret for her, saying that she would definitely repay me."
Zhu Feipeng didn't want to listen any more: "Why don't you tell the police this important information?"
Liang Chenghong twitched his lips and said, "I kept it a secret for Qingwan's reputation. I took her home that night, made love with her, and let her go when the clock struck zero. Before she left, she repeatedly promised that she would break up with Tan Xueru after meeting him this time. She said that she would marry me when she came back, and only asked me not to tell anyone, otherwise it would ruin her reputation for the rest of her life. You don't understand, for Wei Qingwan, reputation and Chuxiao are her life. If I tell anyone about this, she will never forgive me when she comes back."
Zhao Xiangwan saw through his ugly heart clearly: "You are afraid that it will ruin your reputation if you tell others, right? In the middle of the night, you threatened Wei Qingwan with privacy to have sex with you. If it gets out, your image as an honest man in the machinery factory for many years will collapse. If Wei Qingwan sues you for rape, you will be in big trouble!"
Liang Chenghong was exposed and felt a burning pain on his face. But this time, he absolutely refused to admit the rape, saying that it was Wei Qingwan who took the initiative and begged him not to tell the fact that she was dating Tan Xueru in exchange for her body.
Zhu Feipeng said sternly, "On the early morning of September 24, are you sure that Wei Qingwan was going to have a date with Tan Xueru?"
Liang Chenghong nodded repeatedly: "It must be with him! If she wasn't going on a date with him, why would Wei Qingwan be so nervous? I'm a man, and I've liked her for so many years, so I've observed her very carefully. Others can't see it, but I can tell at a glance that she has made up her mind."
Zhu Feipeng said: "But Tan Xueru said that he was on a business trip in Zhushi from the 21st to the 27th, and he has a train ticket and a certificate from his leader."
Liang Chenghong spread his hands and said, "Then I don't know. It's your job as police officers to investigate the case. Zhu City and Xing City are not far away. You can go back and forth at night without anyone noticing, right?"
“Bang!”
Zhu Feipeng slammed the conference table, his anger rising. It was because of Liang Chenghong's concealment of important clues that the case of Wei Qingwan's disappearance remained unsolved!
If he had reported the case immediately, the police would have controlled Tan Xueru early on, and perhaps Wei Qingwan would not have disappeared.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Dai Shengjun led a beautiful middle-aged woman into the conference room: "Comrade police, Wei Meihua is here."
Liang Chenghong stared at Zhu Feipeng nervously, afraid that he would say something fatal.
Zhu Feipeng was so angry that he turned to Dai Shengjun and said, "Liang Chenghong had sex with Wei Qingwan before she disappeared. He is a major suspect. We need to take him back to the city police station for further questioning. Please arrange a separate room for him and don't let him run away."
"Ah?" Dai Shengjun and Wei Meihua's expressions changed at the same time.
Liang Chenghong's face turned pale, but he dared not say a word to the police. He could only mutter: "I didn't do it. I didn't do anything. Don't accuse me..."
Dai Shengjun's eyes changed when he looked at Liang Chenghong. They became cautious and contemptuous. Liang Chenghong was a man who cared about his reputation. Facing Dai Shengjun's strange look, he felt anxious and kept explaining: "I don't know. I really don't know anything. Director Dai, you have to believe me."
Dai Shengjun interrupted him and said, "You don't need to explain to me. If you have anything to say, save it for the police. The case of Wei Qingwan's disappearance has been unsolved in the factory for a year and a half. During this long period of time, you didn't reveal a single word. Engineer Liang, you are really tight-lipped."
After saying that, Dai Shengjun shook his head and raised his chin: "Engineer Liang, let's go. I'll sit with you and wait for the police comrades to finish questioning." Liang Chenghong knew that because of Zhu Feipeng's words today, the good reputation he had worked hard to build for many years in the Provincial Machinery Factory was gone. He was immediately disheartened and followed Dai Shengjun with his head down, without saying another word.
Wei Meihua looked at Liang Chenghong and was obviously shocked by Zhu Feipeng's statement that "there was a relationship between Wei Qingwan and him before she disappeared". She took two steps back subconsciously, as if he was carrying a plague virus, and her eyes were full of contempt. Liang Chenghong was ugly, but he was so evil. He was with Wei Qingwan before she disappeared, but he didn't say a word. Maybe he was the one who killed her.
Watching Liang Chenghong's back as he left, Wei Meihua spat and entered the conference room. When she closed the door, she saw Zhao Xiangwan's cute little face and her smile froze on her face: "Xiang, Xiangwan?"
Zhao Xiangwan had a cold face and lowered his head, ignoring her.
Wei Meihua was a little embarrassed. At He Mingyu's suggestion, she sat across the conference table with a somewhat reserved attitude: "I heard that you are going to re-examine the missing Wei Qingwan case. Is there any new information?"
Zhu Feipeng did not respond directly: "We came here to ask you a few questions."
Wei Meihua looked at Zhao Xiangwan again, and only saw the top of her head. After not seeing Zhao Xiangwan for such a long time, Wei Meihua often thought of her in the dead of night.
After ten months of pregnancy, the little girl was born, but she did not make Wei Meihua happy. She was too young at that time and was not ready to be a mother. If the doctor had not told her that she could not have an abortion because of her special blood type, Wei Meihua would have aborted her.
Wei Meihua was not very happy about Zhao Xiangwan, the daughter she had abandoned for 18 years, but sometimes people are always mean, and the colder Zhao Xiangwan was, the more unwilling she was. In her opinion, Zhao Xiangwan should be eager to get close to her and want her love, instead of being like this now, even if the mother and daughter meet, Zhao Xiangwan still ignores her, as if the two have no blood relationship.
Wei Meihua couldn't hold back her eager heart and was about to try to get close to Zhao Xiangwan, but Zhao Xiangwan didn't even raise his head, as if he could hear what she was thinking, and asked coldly: "What did you talk about with Wei Qingwan when you were shopping? Did she reveal that she was dating Tan Xueru?"
Wei Meihua was stunned for a moment: "I was just shopping with her. We spent more than three hours in the women's clothing department on the second floor and the women's shoes department on the first floor of the department store. I bought a pleated skirt and a pair of white sandals, and Wei Qingwan bought two dresses and a pair of black sandals. I have already told the police at the police station about this, and they went to the department store to investigate and collect evidence."
[Wei Qingwan is like an old tree blooming, her heart is full of spring, and the skirts she picked are all tight-fitting. I laughed at her at the time, saying that this is to absorb yang to replenish yin, and the more you replenish, the better you will look. After all, she is young, good-looking and good at sex. Look how comfortable she made Wei Qingwan, wow, I envy her to death.]
Zhao Xiangwan frowned. Wei Meihua knew that Wei Qingwan was dating Tan Xueru! Why didn't she tell the police?
【Missing? God knows where she went. It's good to have sex with a little boy, but you can't stand in the sun and hold hands with him, not to mention that Xiao Tan is her daughter's boyfriend. At the beginning, I persuaded her to take the initiative to seduce Xiao Tan, the purpose was actually to force Xiao Tan and Chu Xiao to break up, but who knew that she would turn the fake into real and be so close to Xiao Tan?
Can I tell the police? No. If these words get out to the factory, will others talk about it behind my back? Qingwan and I have such a good relationship, and she is in love with her boyfriend, so how can I be proud of it? Maybe those gossipers will say that I am also such a person, which will affect Qingyun's reputation and future.
It is better to keep quiet than to worry about more. Anyway, the things I said to Qingwan were all private, she knew, I knew, heaven knew, and earth knew. I just went shopping with her, we didn't even have a meal together, and I don't know anything else. What if she really had an accident because of my instigation, wouldn't I be a sinner? No, no, I can't say anything. 】
Cool.
——This was Zhao Xiangwan’s first feeling after listening to Wei Meihua’s thoughts.
People at the Provincial Machinery Factory said that Wei Meihua and Wei Qingwan were as close as sisters. They had the same surname, Wei, and were about the same age. They both had good looks, well-maintained bodies, and skin. When they walked out arm in arm, they often got people turning around to look at them. Everyone who saw them would compliment them: You two have such a good relationship.
But what is the reality? After Wei Qingwan disappeared, Wei Meihua's first thought was to clear herself from the case so as not to affect her and Zhao Qingyun's future. As for whether Wei Qingwan was killed by Tan Xueru, Wei Meihua didn't care at all. A year and a half has passed. Doesn't Wei Meihua have a guilty conscience?
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyes and looked at Wei Meihua, with a flash of contempt in his eyes: "The clothes Wei Qingwan wore when she went out were very sexy. The fabric was transparent, the neckline was low, the top was tight, and the skirt was just knee-length. When you bought this skirt with her, didn't you persuade her?"
Facing those beautiful eyes, Wei Meihua felt pressured and answered woodenly, "I advised her that at our age, it's not appropriate to wear such clothes while working in a factory. But she liked it and insisted on buying it, so I had no choice. Police comrade, the two women were shopping and talking about daily necessities and family matters. It's been almost two years, right? I really forgot what we talked about. She wanted to buy the clothes and she paid for it herself. Maybe I advised her a few times, but I really don't remember it."
【This damn girl looks exactly like Qingyun. When I first saw her, it was because of this face and these eyes that I thought she was a poor relative of the Zhao family. You say that genetics is also magical. Even though I have never taken care of Xiangwan for a day, she looks so much like Qingyun. Alas... It's a pity that Xiangwan's eyes always look like a debt collector, which makes people feel ghostly. She is an intern at the Public Security Bureau, interrogating prisoners all day long. Do I look like a prisoner to her? My biological daughter is really like tofu falling into the ash pile. I can't hit her, and I can't praise her. It hurts my head.】
Zhao Xiangwan couldn't tell what he felt when he heard Wei Meihua's comments about him. It was neither joy nor sadness, but a sense of detachment as if he was watching someone else perform on stage - the people on stage were crying and laughing, showing their true emotions, but the people off stage were indifferent and not moved at all.
He Mingyu added, "On the night Wei Qingwan disappeared, she went out wearing this black hollow flower dress. Who was she going to meet?"
Wei Meihua shook her head: "I don't know."
Zhao Xiangwan met her eyes and said calmly and firmly: "No, you know."
Wei Meihua was provoked by her and her temper came out involuntarily. She emphasized: "I said, I don't know!"
Zhao Xiangwan's eyes were like lightning: "You and Wei Qingwan are as close as sisters. She only told you about her date with Tan Xueru. Why did you hide it from the police?"
Wei Meihua's eyebrows jumped when she heard this, and she gritted her teeth to defend herself: "Although Qingwan and I have a good relationship, she won't tell me about this. Besides, Qingwan is quite old, and she has no face to tell others about finding such a young man."
Zhao Xiangwan pressed on: "But you are not someone else! Tan Xueru told the police that he was dating Wei Qingwan, and you are an insider and the instigator!"
Wei Meihua never expected that Tan Xueru would say such words on his own initiative. She was speechless for a moment and her face turned red and white.
He Mingyu and Zhu Feipeng exchanged glances, then quietly lowered their heads without interrupting. Did Tan Xueru say that? They were present throughout the entire process and remembered it clearly. He never mentioned Wei Meihua. It seemed that Zhao Xiangwan was cheating again.
Wei Meihua struggled for a long time, and finally told part of the truth: "Well! About this matter... I know a little bit. Qingwan was not satisfied with the boyfriend that Yu Chuxiao brought back, and had been opposing him, disliking him because he was from the countryside, had a low level of education, and had no house or formal job in the city. Chuxiao would definitely suffer if she married him in the future. But Chuxiao was ignorant and refused to break up, and even moved in with Tan Xueru, which made Qingwan so angry that she kept complaining in front of me. I just casually said, isn't it easy for them to break up? Can't you just find someone to hook up with Tan Xueru? Is there any man in this world who doesn't cheat? When Tan Xueru finds another woman, won't he break up with Chuxiao?"
At this point, Wei Meihua paused, swallowed her saliva, and calmed down her complicated emotions. At that time, Wei Meihua did play a role in fueling the situation. She didn't have any bad intentions at the beginning, she was just trying to hurt her friend's blind advice.
"I, I just gave some advice. I thought Qingwan would spend money to find a prostitute to seduce Tan Xueru, but she was attracted to him. Seeing that Tan Xueru was young and in good shape, and seeing the lustful look in her eyes, she decided to seduce him herself. Tan Xueru soon fell in love with him and took the initiative to break up with Yu Chuxiao. After they broke up, Qingwan should have achieved her goal and cut off contact with him. But for some reason, Qingwan was reluctant to let him go for a while and proposed to break up several times, but Tan Xueru disagreed and kept pestering her, so they reconciled."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "How do they communicate?"
Wei Meihua: "Phone. Qingwan works at the trade union. There is a phone in the office."
Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "Where do you usually go on dates?"
Wei Meihua shook her head: "I really don't know."
At this point, the matter was basically clear, but Zhao Xiangwan still had a question: "Why keep it secret?"
Wei Meihua looked ashamed. "I didn't care at first, thinking she was having so much fun that she didn't want to come back. The work of the union is not very busy, so it's possible that she was too distracted to come back to work. When the police asked me, I only said that I accompanied her shopping, and I didn't say anything else. Wei Qingwan is a very proud person, and she definitely didn't want others to know that she was hooking up with her daughter's ex-boyfriend. I later asked around, and that day, Tan Xueru was not in Xing City, so who did she go to see? How would I know, so I kept my mouth shut and didn't say anything nonsense."
He Mingyu shook his head secretly when he heard this. The reason why Wei Qingwan's missing case has remained unsolved until today is really closely related to the concealment of these important witnesses.
Wei Meihua concealed the fact that Wei Qingwan and Tan Xueru had a sexual relationship;
Liang Chenghong concealed the fact that he had met Wei Qingwan in the middle of the night.
It is for this reason that Tan Xueru’s suspicion was quickly cleared.
Zhu Feipeng and the other two felt heavy-hearted.
What Wei Meihua and Liang Chenghong said gave them a very bad message - the reason why Wei Qingwan was dating Tan Xueru was to break up him and Yu Chuxiao.
Previously, the three suspected that Yu Chuxiao might have discovered Wei Qingwan's relationship with Tan Xueru, and out of jealousy, Yu Chuxiao lured her mother to Jiangcheng and then killed her. Now it seems that this suspicion has been denied. If the mother wanted to see her daughter, she would not wear a sexy skirt and ride a bicycle out at 11 o'clock in the evening. It is even more impossible for her to insist on going out after having had sex with Liang Chenghong.
Now it seems that Tan Xueru is the most suspicious. If Wei Qingwan proposed to break up with Tan Xueru after the two had a tryst on the early morning of September 24, it is very likely that Tan Xueru turned his love into hatred and killed Wei Qingwan by mistake and buried the body by the river.
The motive for the murder has been found, and the key point now is to find evidence of Tan Xueru's presence at the scene.
The three of them put away their notebooks and took Liang Chenghong out of the office building of the Provincial Machinery Factory.
"Wait a minute——" a crisp voice sounded behind me.
I stopped and turned around, and saw Yu Chuxiao rushing over.
She usually doesn't like sports, so she ran a little too fast, panting and pleading: "I, I have something I want to ask you."
He Mingyu nodded and said, "You ask."
Yu Chuxiao hesitated for a long time, then lowered her voice and said, "My mother, what happened to my mother? Is there any bad news? Please tell me the truth, please tell me the truth."
Tears rolled down her cheeks. The calmness and indifference that Yu Chuxiao had shown in the office before were suddenly shattered. She could no longer control her emotions. "I haven't heard from my mother since September of the year before last. The last time I saw her was when I came home from Tan Xueru's rental house and packed my luggage to go to Jiangcheng for training. She wanted to talk to me at that time, but I hated her for interfering in my love life, so I kept giving her the cold shoulder and ignored her. I regret it so much!"
Hearing Yu Chuxiao's confession, He Mingyu sighed: "If I had known this would happen, why would I have done this?"
Yu Chuxiao raised her hands to cover her face, tears streaming down her fingers: "I only ask you to tell me the truth, is my mother dead? Did she have an accident? If she is still alive, she will definitely contact me and come back to find me. I, I am pregnant, I wish she could be with me. If I had known that she would disappear like this, I would have listened to her and broken up with Tan Xueru early. As long as she can watch me get married and have children, I will listen to her in everything!"
He Mingyu was soft-hearted and couldn't bear to see the victim's family crying. She raised her hand and gently patted Yu Chuxiao's shoulder: "Tan Xueru said drunkenly that he killed Wei Qingwan. We have detained him. The case is still under investigation. As a family member, I hope you can support our work."
Yu Chuxiao turned pale. Someone reported that Tan Xueru had committed murder? He killed his mother? Why? Why did he kill her!
Yu Chuxiao grabbed He Mingyu's hand and asked tremblingly: "Did he really kill someone? I haven't seen him since I broke up with him in September of the previous year. I don't know, I really don't know..." If he really killed his mother, then he would be inviting a wolf into the house, damn it!
Zhao Xiangwan's voice was very cold: "Come to the Municipal Bureau tomorrow morning. Isn't it better to ask some questions in person?"
Yu Chuxiao shook her head repeatedly: "The Public Security Bureau? I don't dare to go."
This Yu Chuxiao is really a complex of contradictions. She hates her mother's meddling, but also hates her mother's more feminine charm. Suddenly, she regrets not listening to her mother and hopes that she can live. Since she hates herself for letting a wolf into the house, why doesn't she even have the courage to question the evil wolf?
Human nature is complicated. Zhao Xiangwan glanced at Yu Chuxiao's belly and said, "You will become a mother too." Her belly was flat and she was not pregnant yet. She might still be pregnant for a short period of time. Only when you raise a child can you understand the kindness of your parents. I wonder how grateful Yu Chuxiao is to Wei Qingwan?
Yu Chuxiao was stunned, but still didn't say anything.
【Mother? Yes, I am going to be a mother too. I don't know if my mother had morning sickness when she was pregnant with me. Now I feel nauseous and want to vomit every morning when I wake up. As long as I smell the fishy smell, I want to vomit. Vomiting. Giving birth to a baby is really tiring. My mother gave birth to me and raised me with great difficulty. After my father passed away, she supported the whole family by herself. It must have been very hard, right? Why... why don't I remember a single good thing about her? I only remember that she was strict with me and that she opposed my relationship with Tan Xueru? Am I very heartless? What if, what if I also give birth to a heartless person? 】
He Mingyu wanted to say something, but Zhao Xiangwan pulled her aside and said, "Let's go to the Jinlian Lake Police Station to look up the case files."
