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 shouted loudly: "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.
路燈的光并不算亮，我走到南12棟東頭，忽然看到魏清婉家裏的燈亮了，透過花玻璃，她的影子模模糊糊地映在窗戶上。真好看啊，哪怕是那麽一晃而過的影子，都漂亮得讓人喘不過氣來。”
朱飛鵬不耐煩地打斷了他的話：“你幹淨利落地往後講，不要在這裏做詩。”都幾十歲的人了，還肉麻兮兮地講這些話，真煩人。
梁成洪沉浸在回憶之中，面泛潮紅，有一種不正常的亢奮。
“然後，我就聽到門響，魏清婉推着單車出來。她的動作很輕，關鐵門的時候慢慢的，好像做賊一樣。一樓單元出來要下三個臺階，她也是小心翼翼地提着單車，生怕發出一點聲音。我看到她這個樣子，心裏頭就有些不舒服。魏清婉平時做事總是大大方方的，現在這麽晚了往外走，還輕手輕腳的，肯定是出去偷人！”
梁成洪說到“偷人”二字時，咬牙切齒，仿佛魏清婉是他妻子。
何明玉翻了個白眼，記錄的手在本子上重重點了幾下。
趙向晚伸出手，在她胳膊上輕輕拍了拍，用眼神示意她安靜，認真傾聽、做好筆錄。
“她走出單元門，來到小路上，正想騎車，我快走幾步把她攔了下來。借着路燈，我看見她滿面春色，九月底晚上風有點涼，她卻只穿了條連衣裙，裙子短得連膝蓋都遮不住，真不要臉。”
嘴上說的是“真不要臉”，梁成洪心裏想的卻是些有顏色的畫面，趙向晚打斷他的遐思：“你攔住她說了什麽，做了什麽，老實交代！”
梁成洪被趙向晚那雙透着寒意的鳳眼吓了一跳，小腹剛升起的火苗瞬間被撲滅，縮了縮脖子，擡手摸了摸頭發稀疏的頭頂，繼續講述。
“她看到我的時候，明顯吓了一跳，臉色變了。剛才還春色滿面，一下子就變得冷若冰霜。我問她去哪裏，她說有事出去。我問她這麽晚了出門是要見哪個，她說我管不着。我說你穿這麽短的裙子，是要出去見野男人吧？她說這是她的私事，還要我自重。”
梁成洪的聲音突然就變大了起來：“我自重？我怎麽不自重了？喜歡了她六年，托人做介紹托了幾個，她就是不冷不熱，說什麽年紀大了只想守着初曉過日子，沒那個心思。可是呢？她真的沒心思嗎？半夜三更往外跑，打扮成那樣送上門去，她可真騷，可真賤！”
朱飛鵬越聽心越冷。做為一名刑警，朱飛鵬見多了屍體、兇殺事件，遇到失蹤案總會下意識地祈禱對方安全歸來。可是按照他的辦案經驗，半夜外出的單身女性，一年多了沒有一絲消息，兇多吉少。
趙向晚故意刺了他一句：“她半夜出門，與你有什麽關系？你不過只是她的一個追求者，她有權接受更優秀的男人。”
梁成洪果然被精準刺痛，情緒變得激動起來：“她一個四十多歲的中年女人，我願意要她她就該感恩了，挑三揀四還想找個什麽樣的？我曾經見過她送虞初曉男友出門的樣子，我呸！那個風騷勁我一眼就能看得出來他們之間不清不白，她當旁人都是瞎子，是傻子吧。”
趙向晚追問：“你向她挑明了？”
梁成洪氣呼呼地說：“是！我就跟她說了，我罵她連女兒的男朋友都搶，不是人、不要臉。她先前還不肯承認，我故意詐她說親眼看見她和小譚約會，說要告訴虞初曉，讓她女兒記恨她一輩子。”
朱飛鵬挑了挑眉：“她會信？”
梁成洪笑得很詭異：“由不得她不信。她做賊心虛，吓得臉都白了，再聽說我會告訴虞初曉，差點連單車都扶不穩。我這麽多年追求她，讨好她身邊所有人，包括虞初曉。初曉的高中數學、物理都是我輔導，她把我當作爸爸一樣，我說什麽她都會信。再說了，這種事，只要埋下一根刺，她們母女倆的關系就回不到從前。魏清婉把虞初曉看得跟她的性命一樣，哪裏敢冒這樣的險？”
趙向晚搖搖頭，一臉的不屑：“拿人家的隐私之事要挾，非君子所為。”
壓抑太久的情緒突然找到宣洩的口子，梁成洪完全撕開老實人的面具，面孔肌肉抽搐了一下：“君子？我就是做君子太久，才會在魏清婉屁股後面讨好了六年卻一根手指頭都沒有碰到。當我不做君子，只不過吓了她一下，沒想到她一只小手就摸上我的嘴，哀求我幫她瞞着，還說一定會報答我。”
朱飛鵬不想繼續聽下去：“為什麽不把這個重要信息告訴警察？”
梁成洪嘴角扯了扯：“我是為了清婉的名聲，所以幫她瞞着。那天晚上我把她帶回家，歡好了一回，轉鐘了才放她離開。臨走前她一再保證，這次見過譚學儒之後就堅決和他分手。等她回來，就和我結婚，只求我什麽也別說出去，不然壞了她一輩子的名聲。你們不懂，對魏清婉而言，名聲、初曉就是她的性命，如果我把這件事情說出去，她回來之後絕對不會原諒我。”
趙向晚卻将他醜陋的內心看得一清二楚：“你是怕說出去壞了自己的名聲吧？半夜三更，以隐私脅迫魏清婉和你歡好，如果傳出去，你在機械廠經營多年的老實人形象就土崩瓦解。如果魏清婉告你強jian，你吃不了兜着走！”
梁成洪被人揭穿，臉皮火辣辣的疼。可是他這一回，絕對不肯認逼jian一事，只說是魏清婉主動，以身體為代價哀求他不要說出她與譚學儒約會的事實。
朱飛鵬板着臉：“9月24日淩晨，你确認魏清婉是要去與譚學儒約會？”
梁成洪連連點頭：“肯定是和他！如果不是和他約會，魏清婉幹嘛那麽緊張？我是男人，又喜歡了她那麽多年，對她觀察很仔細。旁人看不出來，我一眼就能知道她動了心思。”
朱飛鵬說：“可是譚學儒說21號-27號期間他在珠市出差，有火車票、有領導證明。”
梁成洪攤開手：“那我就不知道了。查案是你們警察的事。珠市和星市不是很遠，晚上來回一趟，神不知鬼不覺的，是不是？”
“啪！”
朱飛鵬重重一拍會議桌，怒火騰地一下升了起來。就是因為這個梁成洪隐瞞重要線索，致使魏清婉失蹤案一直懸而未決！
如果他第一時間報案，警察早早控制住譚學儒，也許魏清婉不會失蹤。
恰在此時，門被推開，戴勝軍領着一個中年美婦走進會議室：“警察同志，魏美華來了。”
梁成洪緊張地盯着朱飛鵬，就怕他說出要命的話來。
朱飛鵬正一肚子火沒地方發，轉過頭對戴勝軍說：“梁成洪在魏清婉失蹤前曾經發生過男女關系，有重大作案嫌疑，我們要帶回市局做進一步訊問，請你安排一個單獨房間，別讓他跑了。”
“啊？”戴勝軍與魏美華同時變了臉。
梁成洪臉如土色，可是面對警察不敢嗆聲，只能嘟囔着：“我沒有，我什麽也沒有做，不要冤枉人……”
戴勝軍看向梁成洪的目光變了，變得小心謹慎、變得鄙夷嫌棄。梁成洪是個要面子的人，面對戴勝軍那異樣的眼神，內心焦躁不安，不停地解釋着：“我不知道，我真的什麽都不知道，戴處你要相信我。”
戴勝軍打斷他的話：“你不用跟我解釋，有話留着對警察說吧。魏清婉失蹤案在廠裏懸了一年半的時間，這麽長的時間裏你一個字都沒有透露，梁工你這嘴，可真嚴啊。”
說完，戴勝軍搖了搖頭，下巴一擡：“梁工，走吧，我陪你坐着等警察同志問完話。”梁成洪知道今天朱飛鵬一句話，他在省機械廠苦心經營多年的好名聲蕩然無存，頓時心如死灰，垂頭喪氣地跟在戴勝軍身後，再沒多說一個字。
而魏美華看一眼梁成洪，顯然也被朱飛鵬所說的“在魏清婉失蹤前曾經發生過男女關系”而驚住，下意識地後退兩步，仿佛他身上帶着瘟疫病毒一般，一雙眼睛裏滿滿都是鄙夷。這個梁成洪人長得醜，沒想到行事更是惡心至極，明明魏清婉失蹤前和他在一起，他卻一個字都不提，說不定人就是他殺的。
看着梁成洪離去的背影，魏美華啐了一口，進了會議室，關上門一眼看到趙向晚那張蘋果小臉，笑容頓時凝結在臉上：“向，向晚？”
趙向晚冷着臉、低着頭，沒有理睬她。
魏美華有些尴尬，在何明玉的示意下坐在會議桌對面，态度有些拘謹：“聽說，你們要重新審理魏清婉失蹤案，是有什麽新消息嗎？”
朱飛鵬沒有正面回應：“我們過來是要問你幾個問題。”
魏美華再看一眼趙向晚，只看到她的頭頂。這麽長時間沒有見到趙向晚，魏美華在夜深人靜的時候經常會想起她來。
十月懷胎，一朝分娩，那個呱呱落地的小小女孩并沒有讓魏美華歡喜。那個時候她太年輕，還沒有做好當母親的準備，如果不是因為醫生交代說她血型特殊，頭胎不能打，魏美華早就把她打掉。
原本魏美華對趙向晚這個一丢就是十八年女兒沒多少歡喜，但有時候人總是犯賤，趙向晚越是冷淡，她越是不甘心。在她看來，應該是趙向晚渴望靠近她，想要得到她的愛，而不是像現在這樣，哪怕母女相見，趙向晚依然不理不睬、仿佛兩人沒有一絲血緣關系。
魏美華按捺不住一顆蠢蠢欲動的心，剛要與趙向晚套套近乎，卻不料趙向晚頭也不擡，仿佛聽到她內心所想一樣，冷冰冰地問：“你和魏清婉逛街的時候說了些什麽？她有沒有透露過與譚學儒在交往？”
魏美華愣了一下：“我就是和她逛街，在百貨大樓二樓女裝部、一樓女鞋部逛了三個多小時，我買了一條百褶裙、一雙白色涼鞋，魏清婉買了兩條連衣裙、一雙黑色涼鞋。這個我都已經告訴了當時派出所的民警，他們去百貨大樓也調查取證過的。”
【魏清婉老樹開花，春心蕩漾得很，挑的裙子都是緊身式樣，我當時還笑她，這是采陽補陰，越補越好看。到底是年輕人，長得好看、活也好，看把魏清婉弄得多舒服，啧啧啧，羨慕死人的。】
趙向晚眉頭一皺，魏美華知道魏清婉與譚學儒交往！為什麽她沒有告訴警察？
【失蹤？鬼知道她跑哪裏去了。和小男生勾搭上床雖然好，可是卻沒辦法站在陽光底下手牽手，更別說小譚還是她女兒的男朋友。當初我勸她主動勾搭小譚，目的其實是逼小譚和初曉分手，哪知道她會假戲真做，和小譚熱乎成那樣？
我能告訴警察嗎？不能啊。萬一這些話傳到廠裏，旁人是不是都會背後議論？我和清婉關系那麽好，她春心蕩漾和小男友交往，難道我臉上就有光彩？說不定那些長舌婦還會說我也是這樣的人，那多影響青雲的名聲與前程？
多一事不如少一事，不如閉嘴。反正我和清婉說過的那些話都是私房話，她知、我知、天知、地知。我就是和她逛了逛街，連飯都沒有一起吃，其餘的事情，我什麽也不知道。萬一因為我的慫恿，真的讓她有了意外，那我豈不是成了罪人？不行不行，我什麽也不能說。】
涼薄。
——這是趙向晚聽完魏美華的心聲之後的第一感覺。
省機械廠的人都說魏美華、魏清婉好得跟姐妹倆一樣，兩人同姓魏，年齡差不多，都外形姣好，身材皮膚保養得當，手挽着手一起走出去，回頭率很高，誰見了都誇一句：你們倆感情可真好。
可是實際上呢？魏清婉失蹤後，魏美華第一時間想的是要把自己摘出去，以免影響到自己和趙青雲的前途。至于魏清婉是不是被譚學儒殺害，魏美華絲毫沒有關心。一年半時間過去了，魏美華難道就沒有良心不安的時候嗎？
趙向晚擡眸看向魏美華，鳳眼裏閃過一絲鄙夷：“魏清婉外出穿的衣服很性感，衣料透而露，領口開得低，上衣緊身，裙長剛剛及膝，你和她一起買下這條裙子的時候，沒有勸過她？”
對上那雙漂亮的鳳眼，魏美華感覺到了壓力，木然地回答着：“我勸過她啊，咱們這個年齡，又在廠裏上班，穿這樣的衣服實在不太合适。可是她喜歡，非要買，我也沒有辦法。警察同志，兩個女人逛街，聊的都是些柴米油鹽、家長裏短的話，事情過了快兩年時間吧？具體說了些什麽我真是忘記了。她看中衣服想買，又是她自己出錢，也許我勸了幾句吧，不過我真是不太記得了。”
【這死丫頭，長得跟青雲真像。當時第一眼看到的時候，就是因為這張臉、這雙眼睛，我才以為她是趙家那邊的窮親戚。你說遺傳也是神奇，哪怕我沒有帶過向晚一天，沒有管過她一日，她偏偏長得就和青雲那麽像。唉……只可惜，向晚這一雙眼睛總像是讨債的，讓人一看就鬼火直冒。她在公安局實習，一天到晚審犯人，看我也像犯人吧？我這個親生女兒，真的是豆腐落在灰堆裏，打又打不得，捧又捧不得，腦殼疼啊。】
聽到魏美華對自己的評價，趙向晚心裏說不上來是什麽感覺。既不是歡喜，也不是心酸，就是那種似乎看他人在臺上演戲的剝離感——臺上人哭哭笑笑，動了真情，臺下人卻淡漠無比，絲毫沒有被打動。
何明玉接了一句：“魏清婉失蹤的那天晚上穿着這條黑色镂空花連衣裙外出，到底要去見誰？”
魏美華搖頭：“我不知道。”
趙向晚與她視線相對，冷靜而篤定：“不，你知道。”
魏美華被她這一激，脾氣不由自主地冒了出來，加重語氣：“我說了，我不知道！”
趙向晚目光似電：“你和魏清婉情如姐妹，她與譚學儒約會一事只告訴了你，你為什麽瞞着警方？”
魏美華聽得眉心直跳，咬着牙辯解：“我和清婉雖然關系不錯，但這種事情她不會告訴我。再說了，清婉一大把年紀了，找個年紀這麽小的男人，她哪裏有臉告訴別人？”
趙向晚步步緊逼：“可是，你不是別人！譚學儒告訴警方，他與魏清婉交往，你是知情人，更是始作俑者！”
魏美華萬萬沒有想到譚學儒會主動說出這樣的話，一時語結，臉色一會紅一會白。
何明玉與朱飛鵬交換了一個眼神，悄悄低下頭沒有打岔。譚學儒說過嗎？他倆全程參與，記得清清楚楚，他提都沒有提過魏美華，看來趙向晚又在使詐。
魏美華掙紮了半天，終于說出一部分事實：“嗐！這事吧……我知道一點點。清婉不滿意虞初曉帶回來的男朋友，一直在反對，嫌他是農村人，學歷低，還在城裏沒房沒正式工作，将來初曉要是嫁過去肯定吃苦。可是偏偏初曉這孩子不懂事，死活不肯分手，還搬去和譚學儒同居，氣得清婉在我面前不停地吐槽。我就随口說了一句讓們分手還不容易？找個人勾搭一下譚學儒不就行了？這世上哪有男人不偷腥？等譚學儒找了別的女人，不就和初曉分手了？”
說到這裏，魏美華停頓了一下，咽了一口口水，舒緩自己複雜的情緒。當時這件事，魏美華的确起了推波助瀾的作用。她一開始也沒什麽壞心思，純粹就是損友瞎出主意。
“我，我就是出出主意，原以為清婉會花錢找個風塵女勾搭譚學儒，哪知道她自己春心動了，看譚學儒年輕身體好，看她的眼神裏透着股色迷迷的味道，索性親自上陣勾搭。譚學儒很快就陷了進去，主動提出與虞初曉分手。他們兩人一分手，按理說清婉達到目的，應該與他斷絕來往，但不知道為什麽清婉食髓知味，一時半會根本舍不得他，幾次提出分手，但譚學儒不同意，糾纏不休，兩人又和好了。”
趙向晚問：“他們通過什麽方法聯系？”
魏美華：“電話。清婉在工會上班，辦公室裏有電話。”
趙向晚繼續追問：“平時在哪裏約會？”
魏美華搖頭：“我真不知道。”
問到這裏，事情基本搞清楚，但趙向晚依然有個疑問：“為什麽要隐瞞？”
魏美華臉上有了愧色：“我開始我沒在意，以為她玩得樂不思蜀不想回來。工會工作清閑，她一時之間玩昏了頭不肯回來上班也是有可能的。警察問我的時候，我只說陪她逛街，其餘的話都沒說。魏清婉這個人特別愛面子，肯定不願意讓別人知道她和女兒的前男友勾搭在一起。我後來側面打聽過，那天譚學儒不在星市，那她到底去見了誰？我哪裏知道，所以就閉了嘴，沒有亂說話。”
何明玉聽到這裏，暗自搖頭。魏清婉失蹤案之所以懸而未決到今天，真的和這些重要證人隐瞞有極大關系。
魏美華隐瞞魏清婉與譚學儒有男女關系之事；
梁成洪隐瞞自己在半夜見過魏清婉一事。
正因為如此，譚學儒的嫌疑才會迅速被排除。
朱飛鵬三個人的內心都有些沉重。
魏美華、梁成洪的話給了他們一個非常不好的信息——魏清婉之所以與譚學儒交往，目的是為了拆散他與虞初曉。
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. I vomit so much that it’s so uncomfortable. I went to the factory hospital to ask, and the doctor said that I would be better after three months, but now it’s almost four months and I’m still 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."
