About twenty minutes later, an older woman, looking travel-worn, arrived from not far away.
The older sister wasn't tall, but she was quite large. She jogged all the way from the east gate of Moonlight Lakeside Park, covering a distance of several hundred meters, and was already covered in sweat, quite exhausted.
Running up to Li Nan and the others, the eldest sister, barely catching her breath, hurriedly asked, "Hello, were you the ones who contacted me just now?"
Li Nan understood; this was Ms. Liao Chunying, the owner of Building 45 whom Luo Yufei had just contacted.
Li Nan introduced herself, "Hello, you must be Ms. Liao, the owner of this room? I'm Li Nan from Andingsi!"
Ms. Liao glanced at the luxurious villa before nodding and replying, "Yes, I am Liao Chunying, but this villa is not mine!"
Li Nan took Luo Yufei's tablet and showed it to Liao Chunying, "Look, the property certificate for this house says your name, right? Check your ID card to see if it's correct!"
Ms. Liao took the tablet and carefully examined the photocopy of the property certificate on it.
"Officer Li, this is indeed my ID card, but I really haven't bought a house here! I have thought about it, but I simply can't afford it!"
While waiting, Li Nan and Luo Yufei had already learned about the villa.
This villa was purchased in full by Liao Chunying in 2022.
"I wouldn't have guessed she's a rich woman!" Li Nan thought to herself, while her eyes kept scanning Liao Chunying in front of her.
Li Na stepped forward and interjected, "Professor Ke, I just had Xiao Wang check, and Liao Chunying still owns an apartment in the Xingfuli community. She bought it in 2015 and is still paying off the mortgage! That's also their family's registered address!"
To be honest, you wouldn't guess from her clothes and appearance that this fat woman is so rich that she could buy the house in Lakeside Moonlight with cash.
But it's a bit strange that Liao Chunying could buy the villa in Lakeside Moonlight for nearly 6 million yuan in cash.
Why live in an old, dilapidated neighborhood like Xingfuli, and still have to pay off a mortgage?
The down payment for this villa would be enough to buy an apartment in Xingfuli outright, right?
Besides, she paid in full? There's more to the story!
Hearing Li Na's whisper, Liao Chunying quickly explained, "Yes, officer, my husband, children, and I are living in Happiness Lane now, haven't you already found that out?"
Liao Chunying continued to gaze enviously at Building 45, "I wish I could buy this house outright!"
Although Liao Chunying denied the allegations after meeting the homeowner, the matter cannot be resolved with just a few words now that a murder has occurred in the house.
According to the normal procedure, Li Nan should have taken people directly to Liao Chunying's workplace or home to "invite" Liao Chunying to have tea at Andingsi.
However, Li Nan did not expect that Liao Chunying would arrive at the scene in just over twenty minutes, just like an unsuspecting bystander.
Since she did not "flee to avoid punishment," it means that Liao Chunying either really didn't know the truth or was a master of disguise!
Based on their brief meeting, Li Nan preferred the former.
However, the rules could not be broken. The house was involved in a murder case. Regardless of whether Liao Chunying admitted that it was her house, she still had to cooperate with the investigation and returned to Andingsi with Li Nan and the others.
Things have gotten a bit strange so far. To facilitate the investigation, Li Nan not only brought back Liao Chunying, but also Luo Yufei and security guard Xiao Cheng, and they all went back to Anding Division together.
Building 45 was sold in 2022. The sales manager at the time was Niu Li. She is on leave today, and Li Nan had Luo Yufei contact her. She must go to Andingsi for questioning today.
By the time Li Nan led his large group back to Andingsi, it was already past four in the afternoon.
The autopsy results won't be available so quickly; the primary issue now is determining the ownership of the villa.
Because this is only the early stage of the case, no suspects have been identified, and even the identity of the deceased has not been determined.
Liao Chunying and the others should not be treated as suspects.
Around the same time that Li Nan and the others returned, saleswoman Niu Li also arrived at Anding Division.
To facilitate obtaining information, Li Nan arranged for everyone to gather in a conference room and began questioning them about the case.
Li Nan began by asking, "Ms. Niu Li, do you remember the lady next to you?"
Niu Li shook her head, indicating that she did not know him.
Similarly, Liao Chunying also stated that she did not know Niu Li, nor did she know anyone else there!
Luo Yufei didn't tell Niu Li the specifics of the situation on the phone, but only asked her to come and verify it. Niu Li thought there was a problem at work, and a big one at that, so she left her backup boyfriend behind and rushed to Andingsi.
"Think carefully, isn't this Ms. Liao the one you signed the purchase contract with in 2022?"
Although Niu Li still didn't understand what had happened, when it came to buying a house, that was her area of expertise.
Niu Li looked Liao Chunying over carefully, then firmly shook her head. "Officer, I really don't know this lady. She must have bought the house from another salesperson!"
Liao Chunying also shook her head, "I really haven't bought a house there!"
Lakeside Moonlight only built 108 detached villas in total. Niu Li joined the sales office in 2016 and sold a total of 14 villas in 7 years, which is far ahead of other sales ladies.
In seven years, she only signed 14 contracts. How could Niu Li not know the people she signed contracts with?
Judging from her clothes alone, this fat woman in front of me can't afford a lakeside villa!
