Chapter 183 I feel like she is hiding something
The room was extremely quiet, so quiet that even the rustling sound of the police writing in the log book could be heard clearly.
The police officers handling the case were the same officers I had met last time, a man and a woman. After listening to Zhang Moyan's story, the male officer took the record book from the female officer, checked it, and then returned it to the female officer.
"The clues you provided are invaluable, but there's a problem," the male officer said, examining Zhang Moyan with a sharp gaze. "From what I hear, you're the only one who's seen that vacuum cleaner, right?" He glanced at Lin Yin's mother and said, "The deceased's family doesn't know," then glanced at Zhou Xia. "Neither do the deceased's neighbors."
Zhang Moyan was stunned. The question asked by the male police officer was worth pondering.
"Comrade police officer, what do you mean by that?" Xiao Xingyu glared at the middle-aged officer, completely lacking any awareness of the public's respect for the people's police. "Are you still treating Mo Yan as a suspect? If she is, wouldn't it be better for her if we didn't raise any doubts?"
The male officer choked and looked a little annoyed. The female officer next to him quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Comrade, you're overthinking it. Our captain was just asking a normal question."
"Ms. Zhang is also a suspect?" Lin Yin's mother looked at Zhang Moyan in confusion.
Zhang Moyan didn't understand the meaning in her eyes and said to the male officer in a cold tone, "I'm stating what I saw. I can't answer why her mother and neighbors didn't see the vacuum cleaner."
Zhang Moyan naturally gives people a sense of alienation. When she said such words in a cold voice, it felt like a beautiful woman was angry.
The atmosphere was therefore a bit stagnant.
Zhou Xia said, "Lin Yin likes to be alone. Even though she and I live on the same floor, we don't visit her often. The last time I visited her house, I came with Brother Xingyu at night. I certainly didn't notice if there was a vacuum cleaner in the kitchen."
Lin Yin's mother didn't say anything. It went without saying that she hadn't been to this apartment for a long time.
"Wait," Zhang Moyan suddenly grasped the back of Xiao Xingyu's hand that was resting on the sofa, "Call Xiao Huai. He was there that night, maybe he'll remember it."
The hand that was being held on Xiao Xingyu's arm moved along with half of his body, making it a little numb.
"Let me call!" Zhou Xia thought Xiao Xingyu was frozen because he didn't want to contact Xiao Huai, so she offered to do it for him. The male officer raised his hand to stop her, "Don't expand the circle of people who know this information for now. The laptop theft has been determined to be the work of an acquaintance. If there's any doubt about Lin Yin's death, it must also be the work of an acquaintance. Don't alert them."
The male police officer tapped his fingers on his knees as he sat apart, and the wrinkles on his forehead shone with the experience of handling countless cases.
"Then what should we do next?" Xiao Xingyu asked directly.
The male police officer pondered for a moment, straightened his back, turned his head to look at Lin Yin's mother, and said solemnly: "In this case, we recommend an autopsy on Lin Yin's body. We need to obtain more comprehensive information."
After hearing this, Lin Yin's mother collapsed on the sofa, her face filled with horror.
The female police officer glanced at the male officer, seemingly feeling his expression was too blunt and cold. She spoke softly, "While this is the approach we police prefer, we will also respect the family's wishes. Fortunately, your daughter's body is still with you, so you can consider your decision. We suggest your family discuss this carefully."
Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yin's mother. The mother who had lost her daughter was as pale as a piece of paper.
The policewoman gave her a few breaths to catch her breath and continued, "We know this is a very difficult decision for the family, and there's also the possibility that the examination won't reveal anything new. So we understand your hesitation, but we have to say this: the body won't lie."
"No, no, no..." Lin Yin's mother's voice trembled violently as she burst into tears. "I don't agree, I don't agree! She's already so pitiful, I can't let her suffer anymore!"
Zhang Moyan, who was sitting next to her, comforted her: "Auntie, don't be excited, just go find uncle..."
"What do you want to say?! Do you want us to agree?" Lin Yin's mother's eyes were red, and she suddenly clamped her hands on Zhang Moyan's shoulders and shook her madly, "Don't you have any relatives? How can you say such cold-blooded words?! ... Where did you come from? Why do you want to disembowel my daughter with just one word? You are also a suspect. Who knows what you are thinking! Our Lin Yin has never even had a boyfriend. How could she be... "
Lin Yin's mother couldn't continue speaking, she was too exhausted to breathe.
"Aunt, don't be too excited! No one forces you to do this or that!" Xiao Xingyu comforted Lin Yin's mother, and with his hands, he snatched Zhang Moyan from her claws and pulled her away from the sofa.
Xiao Xingyu felt the bones in his arms become unusually stiff. He lowered his head and saw Zhang Moyan's eyes filled with tears. She looked at Lin Yin's mother in shock, tears streaming down her face. "Moyan, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Xingyu knew that Zhang Moyan felt aggrieved because of the groundless accusations, and he also knew that she would not argue with others with words, but he was still shocked by her reaction of not saying a word but crying like a faucet.
"Nothing..." Zhang Moyan turned her head to the side and raised her sleeve to wipe away her tears.
Xiao Xingyu looked at her and felt that she seemed to be hiding something.
"Comrade police officer, I can make the decision on this matter!" Lin Yin's mother hysterically pulled the policewoman and pleaded, "This is the end of our Lin Yin. She will be cremated tomorrow. Please be kind and let her go in one piece! Don't let her suffer any more."
Lin Yin's mother half-knelt and half-paralyzed in front of the police.
"Auntie, don't be like this... We won't let them touch Lin Yin, so don't cry!" Zhou Xia wiped her tears and pulled Lin Yin's mother into her arms.
"She will be cremated early tomorrow morning! Don't let her suffer anymore... She is my sweetheart, my good child..." Lin Yin's mother dodged the gaze of the two policemen in fear, her whole body trembling like a sieve.
The male police officer shook his head helplessly and looked up at Xiao Xingyu, "She's going to be cremated tomorrow. Where's her lover? Call her lover over and discuss it. Let's make a decision today!"
"Let me make a call!" Xiao Xingyu took out his cell phone. Lin Yin's mother immediately stood up to stop him, but was held tightly in Zhou Xia's arms.
Lin Yin's father answered the phone. Xiao Xingyu only said that the police were at Lin Yin's apartment and asked her to come over. Hearing that her husband was coming, Lin Yin's mother jumped up and down in the room. Then she vented her anger on Zhang Moyan, pointing at her and shouting, "It's all your fault! Where did you come from? You're talking nonsense and making my daughter suffer! We won't listen to you. You're not welcome here. Get out!"
Zhang Moyan couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned around and walked out without looking back.
"Mo Yan!" Xiao Xingyu chased out of the door, but saw that Zhang Mo Yan had not gone far and was standing at the door.
