Chapter 30 New Witnesses Besides being their female companion, I am also...
Yue Lingchuan, who was standing by, also looked surprised and couldn't help asking, "Yuan Zhenghao already has someone else outside, how can Zheng Yudan still reconcile with him?"
Teacher Sun said, "In fact, Yudan was also very determined at first. She didn't want to see him at all. But she couldn't stand him coming every day, giving her flowers, clothes and various gifts for half a month. He also said that he would never see her again, and she cried a lot."
She sighed, "Yudan was cold-faced but soft-hearted. Her attitude had softened during that period. Then there was another rainstorm. The man came to look for Yudan, but he kept waiting downstairs when he couldn't see her. He waited for more than two hours. Finally, Yudan couldn't stand it anymore and went downstairs to let him go. The man knelt down and apologized, saying that he hoped Yudan would give him another chance. He was very sincere and said that he would not get up unless Yudan forgave him. He knelt there and died. Yudan had no choice but to say nice things to him and let him go back first. He got a fever the next day after he went back. He called Yudan and said something like sorry in a daze, saying that he didn't ask for her forgiveness, but only hoped that she could come to see him. Yudan couldn't stand it anymore. She even changed her shift with me that day and went to see the man. After she came back that day, they seemed to have reconciled."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingye frowned and felt even more puzzled.
According to this, Yuan Zhenghao is really deeply in love with Zheng Yudan. He has given so much and tried every means to get her forgiveness.
Just why? There should have never been a shortage of women around him, so why is he so obsessed with Zheng Yudan? And if it was true love, why would he cheat on her when he was with her?
Shen Qingye couldn't figure it out.
Yue Lingchuan asked again: "What happens next?"
At this point, Teacher Sun was also puzzled: "Not long after that, they broke up again!"
Shen Qingye just thought it was ridiculous: "Break up again? What's the reason this time?"
Teacher Sun helplessly spread his hands and said, "Who knows? All I know is that a few days after they reconciled, one night after get off work, Yuan Zhenghao came to pick up Yudan to go out and play together, and we didn't pay much attention to it. But the next morning, when he came, he saw that Yudan looked pale and ugly."
Shen Qingye's heart skipped a beat, and he inexplicably had a bad feeling.
Teacher Sun continued, "She was absent-minded during class that day, and she was distracted all the time. We were all very worried about what was going on, but she didn't say anything when we asked her. Seeing that she was not in a good state, we didn't dare to ask more. But since then, we have never seen Yuan Zhenghao again."
Shen Qingye's face darkened slightly: "Yuan Zhenghao took her out? Do you know where she went?"
Teacher Sun shook his head: "How would we know this? We can't ask too much about their relationship. After that, Yu Dan looked like she didn't want to talk about him, so we didn't dare to say anything more."
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other, both of them looked a little solemn: "What time was that day? Do you remember?"
"Probably...end of November." Teacher Sun was a little uncertain.
"It was snowing lightly that day." Teacher Wu suddenly said, "When I got off work that day, it was snowing outside, and I happened to see that man coming to pick up Yudan. After I got home, my mother said that it was snowing lightly today and the weather would be cold in the future, and she even cooked dumplings for me. I remember it very clearly."
Xiaoxue...
Shen Qingye pondered in his heart and asked, "Since then, Yuan Zhenghao has never come again? Is there anything unusual about Zheng Yudan?"
Teacher Sun shook his head: "No. As for Yudan...she only looked a little unwell for a few days and even took a few days off. When I came back later, she seemed to be back to normal."
The two of them fell into deep thought for a moment. After a while, Yue Lingchuan stood up and said, "Okay, we got it."
He said: "If you think of anything unusual in the future, please contact us in time."
Several teachers quickly agreed and stood up to see them off. Only after they drove away did they look at each other in confusion.
·
"So, what did Yuan Zhenghao take Zheng Yudan to do that night?"
In the serious crime unit office, a group of people gathered around a table, scratching their heads at a pile of documents on the desk.
Luo Kaiyang said: "Anyway, it's definitely not a good thing."
"A man and a woman, this isn't a good thing." Zhou Qiming opened his eyes wide and guessed, "Could it be... sexual assault?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head: "This doesn't make sense."
"Yuan Zhenghao has spent so much effort to beg for forgiveness, and even resorted to the tactic of self-torture. Zheng Yudan has also forgiven him. The two of them are already a legitimate couple. When the time comes, won't that kind of thing happen naturally? Why take the risk to do such a thing?"
Wei Zhengyi speculated: "Maybe Zheng Yudan is more conservative and doesn't want to have sex before marriage?"
Shen Qingye asked: "Then why did Yuan Zhenghao disappear without a trace after they had sex?"
She looked at everyone: "He has paid so much before, is it just to sleep with him once? If that's the case, he has so many women around him, why would he bother with Zheng Yudan alone?"
Luo Kaiyang scratched his head: "What else could it be?"
"What happened? I guess only Zheng Yudan knows." Zhou Qiming leaned back in his chair and said with a gloomy look, "But she doesn't want to say anything, and she has sufficient alibis."
"It's difficult, it's difficult."
Wei Zhengyi suggested: "How about calling the person over for further interrogation?"
"It's possible, but I'm afraid she won't tell the truth. What if she makes up a reason? Who can tell whether it's true or false?" Zhou Qiming curled his lips, obviously dissatisfied with her lies.
"Then let's search for all the clues we can find. Not only have we not found the murderer, but things have become more complicated." Wei Zhengyi said listlessly. After a moment, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Jiang Cheng: "By the way, Brother Jiang, did you guys get anything?"
"I was just about to tell you something." Jiang Cheng took out a few pictures and pointed at the printouts of the suspect. "This guy is well-armed. We can't see his true face at all. We can't get any useful clues. But there is one thing that can further rule out Zheng Yudan's suspicion."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Qiming became interested.
Jiang Cheng pointed at the shoulders of the person in the picture and said, "Look, this person's shoulders tend to bend inward. Although it's not obvious, he is indeed hunched over."
He looked at everyone and said, "Zheng Yudan has been dancing since she was young. She has a very good figure. Normally, she wouldn't have this problem."
Wei Zhengyi leaned over to take a look and hissed softly: "It really is..."
Zhou Qiming touched his chin and guessed, "Is it possible that she did this on purpose because she was afraid of being discovered?"
Jiang Cheng said: "It's possible. But she can only pretend for a while, she can't pretend all the time. If she deliberately disguised herself while walking, it's understandable, but after killing someone, when she stood in the corner looking for an opportunity to go out, no one was paying attention, she should have relaxed a little. But we watched all the surveillance, her posture was very natural, it didn't change from beginning to end. So either her disguise ability is really strong, or she has this problem from the beginning."
Zhou Qiming couldn't help but ask, "But people like Zheng Yudan are a minority, right? Most people have some body shape problems to some extent?"
Unless you have been a soldier and have been specially trained in dancing, you will more or less have some minor problems like round shoulders and hunchbacks. The man's problem was not obvious. In addition, the weather had been cold recently, and the people on the day of the interrogation were wearing more clothes. At first glance, nothing could be seen.
Jiang Cheng said: "That's why I said that I didn't find any useful clues."
Wei Zhengyi wailed and fell on the chair, saying, "Zheng Yudan, the most suspected person, is not the murderer, so now the problem is back to square one? Do we have to check those people one by one again?"
Everyone started discussing the matter, but Shen Qingye, who was standing nearby, lowered his eyes and looked through a confession without saying a word.
Yue Lingchuan noticed her silence from the corner of his eye, and paused, then looked over and asked, "What did you find out?"
"It's not a discovery." Shen Qingye lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "I'm just wondering, are we stuck in a fixed mindset?"
Yue Lingchuan raised his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Luo Kaiyang and the others also looked over: "What clues did Xiao Shen find?"
Shen Qingye raised his eyes, looked at everyone and said, "Apart from Zheng Yudan, there is another person who knows best what happened that night."
Wei Zhengyi was puzzled: "Who is it?"
Shen Qingye: "Yuan Zhenghao."
Jiang Cheng was stunned, then seemed to be thinking about something. Luo Kaiyang frowned: "But isn't he dead?"
Shen Qingye looked at him and said, "Yuan Zhenghao is dead, but there are still others."
She took out the confession in front of her, placed it in front of everyone, and tapped a place with her finger: "Look, this is the transcript of Liao Hongyuan and others.
"According to their account, at the end of November, Yuan Zhenghao brought Zheng Yudan to meet them—"
When she said this, Jiang Cheng's eyes lit up and he understood: "End of November?"
Zhou Qiming murmured, "Whether it's Zheng Yudan herself or her colleagues, Zheng Yudan broke up with Yuan Zhenghao in early November, and Yuan Zhenghao begged her for half a month before they reconciled. It wasn't until the end of November, on Xiaoxue's day, that Yuan Zhenghao took her out..."
Luo Kaiyang said excitedly: "So the day that Liao Hongyuan and the others mentioned when Yuan Zhenghao brought Zheng Yudan here is very likely this time?"
"That night, they were most likely with Liao Hongyuan?"
Shen Qingye said, "It only took a few days from the time Yuan Zhenghao and Zheng Yudan reconciled to the time they broke up. During this short period of time, both of them had to work, so they probably didn't have much free time. I personally tend to think that these two statements refer to the same time."
Wei Zhengyi stood up at once: "Then why don't we just send someone to ask?"
Yue Lingchuan shook his head: "No."
Wei Zhengyi was puzzled: "Why?"
Zhou Qiming patted his head and said, "Use your brain."
He said: "Zheng Yudan must have encountered something bad that night, which is why she has been hiding it. Since it was something bad, what do you think the probability is that they will admit it if you ask them like this?"
Shen Qingye also nodded: "That's right, we don't have enough evidence at the moment. If we ask rashly, it will easily alert the enemy."
Wei Zhengyi sat down again, scratched his head and said, "What should we do? Don't ask anymore?"
Yue Lingchuan tapped the table with one hand, pondered for a moment, and said, "No, you have to ask."
“But you can’t ask directly.”
He looked at everyone and said, "No need to call them over. Just call them and ask them where Yuan Zhenghao likes to go and where he usually meets his girlfriend. Especially ask if there are any dance halls, bars, etc."
He looked at Shen Qingye again: "Xiao Shen, go contact Yuan Zhenghao's parents and ask them the same question and see what they say."
Everyone agreed, a few phone calls were made, and after a while, everyone gathered together again.
Jiang Chengxian said, "Geng Haonan said that if they usually go far away for gatherings, they go abroad to have fun. If they go closer, they either play billiards in the city or sing and dance. The places they often go to are the Oriental Ballroom and the Paris Bar. Occasionally, if there is a new store opening, they will go to check it out."
Zhou Qiming said: "What Cui Bowen and Zhao Yongxin said is similar. There are basically only a few places, all of which are quite famous entertainment venues in the surrounding area."
Luo Kaiyang and Wei Zhengyi also got similar answers. Shen Qingye listened with a frown on his face, "Yuan Zhenghao's parents have a different story."
Everyone looked at her, and Shen Qingye said, "They said that Yuan Zhenghao often goes to a bar with Liao Hongyuan and others, called Night Color, at least two or three times a month. That place is not that close to here, and they usually don't come back until late at night, and sometimes they just don't come back at all."
"Night Color?" Fashionable man Wei Zhengyi frowned: "What kind of bar is this? How come I have never heard of it?"
Luo Kaiyang guessed: "It's quite far from here... not in our area?"
Jiang Cheng said calmly: "The most important thing is, they obviously go to this bar often, why didn't anyone mention this place?"
Everyone fell into deep thought for a moment. Zhou Qiming thought about it, picked up his phone and made a call. Shen Qingye watched his movements and couldn't help but feel curious.
Yue Lingchuan explained to her in a low voice: "Old Zhou Sanjiao has many friends in the Nine Class, and some of them know about bars. Maybe he wants to inquire about the situation."
As expected, when the call was connected, Zhou Qiming got straight to the point and said, "Hello, Shunzi, I have something to ask you."
"Hey, Brother Zhou, go ahead and tell me what you want to say."
"Have you ever heard of a bar called Night Color?"
"Night color?" Shunzi was stunned: "Hiss...it seems a little familiar..."
Zhou Qiming added: "Think about it carefully, it shouldn't be from our area."
Shen Qingye suddenly had an idea and blurted out, "It should be a slightly higher-end bar, usually frequented by the rich second generation."
Shunzi was stunned at first, then asked in surprise: "Brother Zhou, there are female police officers in your team now?"
Zhou Qiming nodded to Shen Qingye, responded vaguely, and then said: "Think about it carefully, is there a bar with this kind of conditions nearby?"
Shunzi laughed and said, "I didn't realize what you said just now, but if you're talking about the kind of high-end bars that rich second-generations frequent, I do know."
"It's right next door to us, in Jiangdong District. A bar opened two years ago. I think it's called something like Night Color, but we don't usually call it that. We usually call it a den of illicit sex."
Everyone looked at each other, and Zhou Qiming asked, "What do you mean? It's a mess in there?"
Shunzi said, "It's not that chaotic. In fact, it's one of the most strictly controlled bars, and there are very few fights. It's called a den of frivolity because the prices there are much higher than in ordinary bars. A casual glass of wine costs tens of thousands, and there are many that cost hundreds or even thousands."
"I've been to this bar twice before. At that time, there were all kinds of luxury cars parked outside the bar, worth tens of millions or even new foreign supercars. It was dazzling at first glance. Later, because the prices there were too high, I, a poor man, couldn't afford it, so I rarely went there."
Zhou Qiming asked, "Do you know who owns that store?"
"I know, of course I don't know, isn't he the youngest son of the Liao family?" Shunzi said, "Everyone who is a little bit involved in the area basically knows about it, otherwise how could he attract so many rich second-generations? His business is so prosperous, and no one dares to take advantage of him?"
Liao family?
Zhou Qiming frowned and said, "Where is that store? Tell me the specific address."
Shunzi said, "Oh, it's in the middle of Beian Street in Jiangdong District. Brother Zhou, you'll know when you go there. The sign is very conspicuous. It usually opens around 8pm."
"By the way, Brother Zhou, why are you asking about this? Is there another case?"
Zhou Qiming said, "I have something to do. I have to go over there to take a look. Thank you for this. I'll treat you to a drink when there's a chance."
Shunzi laughed and said, "Brother Zhou, why are you being so polite to me? I'm glad I can help you!"
Zhou Qiming exchanged a few more pleasantries with him, hung up the phone, and then looked at everyone and said, "That bar is Liao Hongyuan's business, but he just avoids talking about it. There must be something wrong. Boss, shall we go over and take a look now?"
Yue Lingchuan said, "We are only going there to investigate the situation. Too many people will only attract attention." He looked at the time and decided, "It's getting late. We should get off work. Lao Zhou and I can go there tonight."
Luo Kaiyang and the others didn't force it after hearing this, and just said, "Okay, then, Boss, please notify us in time if anything happens."
Shen Qingye had already promised her mother that she would go home for dinner tonight. Besides, what Yue Lingchuan said was right. In that kind of occasion, too many people would be a burden, so she agreed.
·
It was time to get off work, and Shen Qingye didn't stay long. He said hello to everyone and left directly. When he got home, he found that Shen Linyue was already waiting at home.
Both sides were a little surprised to see each other.
Chen Linyue said: "Oh, you really came back?"
Shen Qingye was somewhat speechless: "I already said I would come back to have dinner with you, how can I go back on my word?"
"That's hard to say," Shen Linyue said indifferently, "Your father said this a lot back then, but he didn't really do it a lot."
Shen Qingye smiled and moved closer to her: "I am different from my father. What can be more important than my mother?"
Shen Linyue couldn’t help but smile and glanced at her: “Your father will definitely beat you up after hearing this.”
Shen Qingye raised his eyebrows: "Then let him beat me up, I have my mother to protect me."
"Go away, I don't care about you." Chen Linyue's eyes were filled with smiles, and after playing with her for a while, Aunt Chen called for dinner.
At the dining table, Shen Linyue asked her, “Is the case handled?”
"How can it be that easy?" Shen Qingye sighed, "We haven't locked in the suspect yet. We have found some clues, but the follow-up... I guess it won't be easy to handle."
"What do you mean?" Shen Linyue was a little surprised. She knew her daughter well and she rarely thought something was difficult to do.
Shen Qingye said: "If I'm not mistaken, if this case is really involved, it will probably be related to those young masters."
Whether it is the Liao family, the Geng family, or the Zhao family, they are all prominent families in Pingjiang City. If something is really found out later, those families probably will not sit idly by.
Shen Linyue said disapprovingly: "What's the big deal? Anyway, your captain is here."
Shen Qingye paused while eating: "Our captain?"
Shen Linyue raised her eyes and reminded her: “Think about it yourself, what is his last name.”
What’s your last name?
Yue Lingchuan, Yue...
Shen Qingye blinked: "The Yue family in the provincial capital?"
Shen Linyue picked up the food and smiled at her: “Don’t worry, your captain is not someone you can easily mess with.”
Shen Qingye suddenly realized.
…
Yue Lingchuan and Zhou Qiming found a random restaurant to eat something, and then drove to the door of the bar that Shunzi mentioned in Jiangdong District.
It was exactly eight o'clock and the night had already fallen. The lights in the bar were flickering and customers were coming in and out from time to time. It looked very lively.
The two looked at each other and did not rush in. Instead, they waited a little longer. At 8:30, when the flow of people reached its peak, they bent down and got off the car.
There was a doorman waiting outside the bar. The two pretended not to know each other and walked in one after the other.
The red and green lights flickered in the room, dazzling people. The boiling music was full of dynamics, and many young men and women were dancing closely to the music.
Yue Lingchuan took a quick look around and got an idea of the layout inside. He was not in a hurry, but sat down at the bar and ordered a glass of wine with skillful manner.
The bartender's movements were gorgeous and complicated, with an obvious intention of showing off his skills. Soon, he pushed the glass of amber liquor over and said with a smile: "Your brandy, please enjoy it slowly."
Yue Lingchuan picked up the wine glass, looked at it, took a sip slowly, and praised happily: "It tastes good."
The bartender smiled and said, "Handsome guy has good taste. Our place is not like outside, but you get what you pay for."
Yue Lingchuan raised his eyes to look at him, chuckled, took out a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and slapped it in front of him: "You can talk, here's a tip for you."
The bartender's eyes instantly lit up when he saw this, and the smile on his face became even more enthusiastic. He said a few nice words in a flash, and his attitude was sincere, which made people feel happy both physically and mentally.
Yue Lingchuan responded intermittently. He was wearing a black shirt and leaning lazily on the bar, showing off his tall and strong body perfectly. Coupled with his already outstanding facial features, he attracted many young women to approach him eagerly.
Yue Lingchuan was not interested and sent everyone back. The bartender beside him couldn't help but laugh and said, "Handsome guy, you came here by yourself, why didn't you bring a companion?"
Yue Lingchuan looked at him and said, "Why, do you have to bring a companion to this bar?"
The bartender smiled and said, "What are you talking about, handsome guy? I was just asking casually. But just now, so many people came to show their affection, and there were quite a few pretty ones, handsome guy, aren't you attracted by any of them?"
Yue Lingchuan sneered: "I have seen many women, but those are nothing."
He paused, and couldn't help but sighing in remembrance: "If you ask me, it's still the woman that Young Master Yuan brought last time. She's more interesting."
"Oh, I was wondering why you didn't see anyone you liked. It seems like you have someone in your heart." The bartender said jokingly, and then curiously asked, "But who is your favorite?"
Yue Lingchuan looked at him somewhat unhappy and said, "That's the one, not too tall or short, white, with long hair, and very good-looking."
"Hey, isn't it the same as not saying anything?" The bartender said, "Aren't all the women that Master Yuan brings like this? Not to mention Master Yuan, Master Liao and his friends never bring any ugly ones every time they come."
Yue Lingchuan's eyes moved, but he shook his head with a look of regret: "You don't understand. You will know once you meet her. She is different from other women."
"That's right. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I definitely don't understand that." Seeing that he looked distraught, he couldn't help but say, "Hey handsome guy, I don't think you are an ordinary person. You can sit with Master Yuan... If you really like that girl, why don't you just go and ask Master Yuan?"
Yue Lingchuan looked righteous and said, "How can that be possible? A brother's wife should not be bullied. If I really do that, what kind of person would I be?"
"Hey, what's a brother's wife?" The bartender waved his hand and said, "Mr. Yuan basically brings a different woman every time he comes back. If you ask him, he might not even remember who that woman is."
Yue Lingchuan hesitated for a while, but still shook his head: "No, no, we can't do this, it's too unfair."
The bartender said, "If you want to be righteous, you won't be able to chase women."
Yue Lingchuan sighed deeply, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Seeing that he looked depressed, the bartender rolled his eyes, then suddenly leaned over the counter and whispered to him, "But if you really like that person, there is something you can do."
Yue Lingchuan raised his eyes to look at him: "What do you mean?"
The bartender said, "You have to consider our brotherhood. It's not good to ask Master Yuan directly. You can ask Master Liao and the others. They will definitely know."
Yue Lingchuan's eyes lit up: "That's true." After a moment, he suddenly frowned and said: "That's not right. If I ask Liao Shao and the others, wouldn't Yuan Shao know it too? What's the difference?"
The bartender chuckled and said nothing.
Yue Lingchuan narrowed his eyes: "No, do you know any way?"
The bartender said, "Handsome guy really thinks highly of me. What can I, a bartender, do?"
Yue Lingchuan looked at him for a long while, then suddenly laughed: "What's wrong with the bartender? There are so many people coming and going in the bar every day, what's going on that you don't know?"
He took out five more hundred-dollar bills and slowly pushed them in front of him.
The bartender glanced at him and shook his head in a pretentious manner: "Hey, I'm not lying to you. You see, those young masters are always in the private rooms. How can I get in touch with them?"
"No, no, it really can't be done."
How could Yue Lingchuan not understand these pushes and pulls? He smiled and said, "Brother, you are really modest. Let's not talk about anything else. Just the simplest thing is, those people's preferences are things that outsiders can't get with all their efforts. Don't you know them all?"
The bartender lowered his head and smiled.
Yue Lingchuan added: "I rarely get to chat with others, but today I have a rare chance to meet you, so we two brothers shouldn't talk nonsense."
He took out another wad of money, put his hands on it, quietly pushed it in front of him, and whispered: "If this can really be accomplished, yours will definitely be indispensable."
The bartender looked at the thick stack of money and his Adam's apple couldn't help but move. After a moment, he put down the prepared drink in his hand and slowly passed the money over by pushing it.
He smiled and said, "Since you've said this, I can't hide it any longer."
He put the money into his pocket, feeling the thick touch, and the smile on his face became more and more sincere: "To be honest, I definitely don't know about Liao Shao and the others. After all, they are rich second-generations, young masters, how can I get close to them. But..."
Yue Lingchuan pretended to be anxious: "But what? Tell me now!"
The bartender gave him an ambiguous smile: "But, I do know someone who might know about this."
Yue Lingchuan's heart was slightly moved, but he pretended to be puzzled: "Maybe?"
"Don't worry." The bartender said, "She has been with Master Geng for about two or three years. Basically, Master Geng would take her out to play every few days. And I am lucky enough to have a good relationship with her."
Yue Lingchuan was suspicious: "Can she really know?"
The bartender sighed, "Whether she knows or not is not the point. The point is that she asked Master Geng, so it wouldn't arouse suspicion. After all, if two women like each other and want to have fun together, it's not a big deal, right?"
Yue Lingchuan hissed, stroking his chin and said, "That makes sense."
He asked anxiously again: "Where is that person now?"
"Why are you in such a hurry?" The bartender said, "Well, I'll give you her address and you can go find her tomorrow, but..."
He smiled again and made a gesture of counting money: "Whether people are willing to help or not is another matter."
Yue Lingchuan smiled knowingly: "Don't worry, I know the rules."
·
The two men left the bar and walked for a while before getting in the car.
Zhou Qiming asked: "How is it, boss?"
Yue Lingchuan took out a piece of paper and briefly explained the matter to him: "What he said makes sense. We have always limited our investigation to those who are closely related to Yuan Zhenghao, but we overlooked the possibility that there might have been a third party at the time."
Since it's a gathering of friends, is Yuan Zhenghao the only one bringing his companions?
Zhou Qiming looked at the words above: Room 306, Bihua Apartment, No. 132, Tanning Road, Su Yunfang.
"Indeed, even if she doesn't know, we can still follow this clue and find someone else."
If Zheng Yudan and the others were unwilling to speak because they had a close relationship with the deceased, then these people should not have so many concerns, right?
"What about this bar..." he asked again.
Yue Lingchuan glanced back, his expression grim under the streetlight: "Ignore it for now."
He had a feeling that there would be a lot going on here.
"When we have enough evidence, we can take down the whole gang."
…
The next morning, when Shen Qingye just arrived at the team, he saw a familiar jeep parked on the side of the road. Yue Lingchuan and Zhou Qiming were the first to get out of the car, followed by a beautiful woman in her twenties.
Shen Qingye's gaze lingered on the woman for a moment. Before she could greet him, Yue Lingchuan noticed her first, and his eyes lit up:
"Xiao Shen, you're just in time."
He ordered: "Bring the photos and information of the suspects to the interrogation room."
Shen Qingye paused, knowing that this was a clue, and quickly responded:
"I'll be right there."
·
When Shen Qingye pushed the door open, he saw a woman sitting on the interrogation chair, yawning lazily:
"Officer, you brought me here so early in the morning. What is the matter? You can tell me now, right?"
Shen Qingye glanced at her and said nothing. Instead, he walked silently to the seat next to Zhou Qiming and sat down. He took a pen and paper and prepared to take notes.
Yue Lingchuan said: "There is a murder case at the moment, and we need your cooperation in the investigation."
"Murder case?" Su Yunfang looked a little strange, and then smiled after a moment: "What murder case? How could it be related to me?"
"We ask, and you just answer honestly."
Su Yunfang leaned back in her chair and nodded slowly, "You ask."
Yue Lingchuan got straight to the point: "What is your relationship with Geng Haonan?"
Su Yunfang paused for a moment, then slowly raised her eyes, looked at them, and chuckled: "Officer, you are really interesting."
She twirled her long hair in circles with her slender fingers, her movements were naturally gentle and charming, and she said, "Since you have found me, you must know the relationship between us. Why bother asking again?"
Yue Lingchuan's expression remained unchanged: "You just need to cooperate with the case handling process."
"Okay." Su Yunfang shrugged helplessly and said, "Geng Haonan is my boyfriend. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
Yue Lingchuan nodded, and then asked: "Do you usually go to Ye Se?"
Hearing the word "night", Su Yunfang's eyes moved slightly, and after a moment she said indifferently: "Yes, what, is there a new rule that prohibits drinking now?"
Yue Lingchuan did not answer her question, but continued to ask: "Who went with you?"
Su Yunfang rolled her eyes and said, "That's a lot. Who does the officer want to ask?"
Yue Lingchuan knocked on the table: "No need to ask us, just tell us what you know."
Su Yunfang curled her lips: "Okay."
"As a man, who else can he hang out with when drinking? It's just his brothers and stuff. Like Young Master Yang, Young Master Qiu, Young Master Yuan, Young Master Liao, basically it's different every time."
Shen Qingye listened and took notes, and Yue Lingchuan continued to ask: "Besides these people, who else?"
Su Yunfang was puzzled: "What else?"
Yue Lingchuan asked: "When they had a gathering of brothers, was Geng Haonan the only one who brought his girlfriend?"
"Oh, you're talking about that." Su Yunfang said indifferently, "Of course not. It's normal for men like them to bring women with them when they drink, isn't it?"
Yue Lingchuan didn't argue with her whether it was normal or not, but just continued to ask: "What do you usually do when you get together?"
Su Yunfang paused while playing with her hair: "Then there are many things to play with, all kinds of things you can and can't imagine." She stretched out her voice, slowly raised her eyes, and smiled: "What does the officer want to know?"
"What do I want to know?" Yue Lingchuan looked at her for a while, and suddenly asked back: "The point is not what I want to know, but what you want to tell us."
Su Yunfang paused with a smile on her face: "I don't understand what the officer means."
Yue Lingchuan leaned back: "What are you worried about?"
"Or I'll be more straightforward."
"What are you afraid of?"
His words were vague and unclear, as if he wanted to express something, but he was always hiding it and refused to break through the last line of defense.
Shen Qingye put down his pen and looked up at her.
Su Yunfang's breathing was slightly choked. She looked at him for a long time without saying anything.
"Let me guess." Yue Lingchuan said slowly: "That group of people changes girlfriends very frequently. Since you can stay with him for such a long time, you must be quite smart."
"Then do you know why we are looking for you this time?"
Su Yunfang pursed her lips.
"You should know." Yue Lingchuan didn't wait for her to reply and continued, "But you just don't want to say it."
"Is it because you played a role in this and are worried about being implicated?" He said, then shook his head: "No, that's not right. If that were the case, you wouldn't have said those specious words in the first place."
Su Yunfang's throat rolled slightly for a moment, and she couldn't help licking her lips.
Shen Qingye paid attention to her expression and narrowed his eyes. Yue Lingchuan continued, "That's because you are afraid. You are afraid that if Geng Haonan gets into trouble, you won't be able to maintain your current life. You are even more afraid that if the truth is revealed... he will retaliate against you."
Su Yunfang was silent for a long time before she pursed her lips and said, "The police officer is really a joker..."
Yue Lingchuan said: "Whether it is a joke or not, you know it yourself."
Zhou Qiming also said, "We can also remind you that the Geng and Liao families may be well-known in Pingjiang City, but in the provincial capital, what do you think they are?"
"Since we summoned you here, it means we have enough evidence. If you tell the truth, it will be strong evidence. But if you insist, we have other ways."
"You are a smart person. You should know what to do."
There was silence in the interrogation room for a long time. Su Yunfang tightened her hands around her hair again and again, and did not let go until her scalp was a little painful.
Yue Lingchuan and others were not in a hurry either, they just looked at her quietly.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Yunfang finally lost her temper and dropped her hands helplessly: "Can you really guarantee that Geng Haonan and the others will be punished?"
Yue Lingchuan said: "I can only guarantee that if they break the law, they will be punished by law."
Su Yunfang leaned back in her chair, and the soft and flattering smile she had just deliberately put on disappeared completely. She lowered her eyebrows, sighed softly, and said, "I didn't lie to you. They usually play a lot and spend a lot of money."
"In addition to being their female companions, we are also their...playmates."
