Chapter 134: Burial Case (VI) Suspect
Su Wan took over the conversation: "If Ye Bai's analysis is true, then the murderer can be narrowed down and directly targeted to his relatives, friends, or even the neighbors."
Ye Bai nodded slightly and agreed, "Yes, only the residents living there would know that there is an open space 100 meters away where the body can be buried. So the murderer must have been dissatisfied with the deceased long ago, and even had a fierce dispute with him and resented him, and has been secretly looking for an opportunity to kill him."
Han Jianye had a different opinion. He pondered for a moment and said, "Don't forget that there was a lot of rain in the first half of the year.
I just checked the weather forecast for April, and it's raining almost the entire month. According to Liu Xiying's statement, Liu Fenying could not be contacted on April 20.
But I had received a message from the deceased saying that he was going out to find a job. The police were called three days later when they still couldn't get in touch with him, so he had already been killed on April 19th.
The crime was committed on a rainy day when there were few people on the street and it was dark, which was the best way to conceal one's identity. Therefore, that vacant lot was not the first crime scene, but the home. ”
Halfway through the case discussion, Liao Wei suddenly said, "Captain Han, Liu Xiying is here."
Han Jianye closed the file neatly and said, "Let's go and see what she says."
In the corridor, Qi Xiaolei said, "Xiaobai, actually your analysis and that of Captain Han are quite reasonable. Regardless of whether the first crime scene where the victim was killed was at home or in an open space, we all think that the crime must have been committed by an acquaintance."
Ye Bai put his hands in his pockets. He had just listened to Han Jianye's inference and felt that his analysis was more comprehensive than his own. "Let's go and listen to what Liu Xiying has to say, and then make further inferences."
"How could he die?" Liu Xiying wiped her tears and cried, "I only have one brother. How can I explain this to my parents back home?"
Han Jianye asked her: "How long has your brother lived in your house?"
"Well, it's been more than two months." Liu Xiying recalled: "During this period, I also had a job, but I couldn't continue and quit, and then I looked for another one."
"Who's at home then?"
"My child is boarding at school, so it's just me and my husband."
"Your husband?" Han Jianye raised his eyebrows and then asked: "What is the relationship between your husband and your brother?"
Liu Xiying wiped her tears and said, "You...you wouldn't doubt my husband, would you? This is impossible."
"You don't need to tell me anything else. You just need to answer my questions truthfully."
Liu Xiying then answered: "No, my husband hates lazy people. My brother lives in my house, and he has complained to me many times about when he will leave. Actually, I know that, but he is my brother, I can't just stop him from leaving, right? I have been persuading him to be patient, and my brother will leave when he finds a job."
Han Jianye then asked: "During that period, besides your brother, who else stayed at your house, and when did they leave?"
Liu Xiying nodded very affirmatively, "No."
"Has your brother ever quarreled with your husband or neighbors?"
“No, but…”
Han Jianye raised an eyebrow in confusion, "But what?"
"My husband doesn't like him, so he can't help but speak in a sarcastic tone. Alas, I have no choice. I have found several jobs for him. He is hardworking, but he is too direct with his mouth. He doesn't think before speaking and often offends people." Liu Xiying shook her head dejectedly after she finished speaking.
"What's your husband's name? What does he do?" Han Jianye felt that Liu Xiying's husband was still highly suspicious.
Liu Xiying said softly: "My husband's name is Tang Wu, and he is an air conditioner installer."
She leaned slightly to the side and pointed out the window. "I came here in his car. He is waiting for me outside right now."
Upon hearing this, Han Jianye quickly turned his gaze to Liao Wei and said, "Bring the person in immediately."
"No problem." Liao Wei responded, then turned around and walked out quickly.
Ye Bai stood aside, still hesitating whether to call Tang Wu over, but he didn't expect that he was waiting outside. What a coincidence.
After a while, Tang Wu walked in with a slightly surprised expression.
Facing Han Jianye's question, he said bluntly: "I really don't like this brother-in-law, but I'm not to the point of killing him. I don't want to go to jail for no reason."
Han Jianye pressed on, "Then do you know who Liu Fenying usually has disputes with, or who he has frequent contact with?"
Tang Wu was slightly stunned after hearing this, and after a moment of silence, he spoke: "I really don't know. I go out early and come back late every day, and he goes to bed later than me. When I get home from get off work, he often squats at the entrance of the alley with a bowl in his hand to eat. I work hard outside every day to install air conditioners, risking my life to work outside a building more than ten stories high, and I earn my money through hard work. But he does nothing and asks my wife for money all day long."
As he spoke, Tang Wu's dissatisfaction was evident.
After the couple left, Han Jianye called Su Wan and said, "Find someone to secretly follow Tang Wu."
Su Wan nodded without hesitation, "Understood."
Ye Bai recalled what Tang Wu had just said and keenly grasped a key point, "Captain Han, Tang Wu mentioned that he often saw Liu Fenying squatting at the entrance of the alley to eat after get off work. I think the suspicion of the neighbors nearby cannot be ignored."
Liao Wei also nodded in agreement, "Indeed, we have checked Liu Fenying's call records. The last person he contacted was his wife. The call time was 9:40 pm on April 19, and the call lasted more than an hour."
Han Jianye raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already 5 o'clock in the evening and the sky was getting darker. It would be dark in another hour.
He said decisively: "Let's go to Liu Xiying's home and find out the situation."
Qi Xiaolei said a little sadly: "I heard that the cafeteria is making stewed beef brisket tonight, but it seems that we won't be able to eat it."
o(╥﹏╥)o....woooooo....
Liao Wei smiled and said, "It's okay. I was a step late last time too. All I had left was the seaweed egg drop soup, but I ate it anyway."
"How can stewed beef brisket be compared to seaweed egg drop soup? You don't understand at all."
Liao Wei echoed, "Then just tell me directly. If you tell me directly, I will understand."
"We have known each other for so many years, you should understand even if I don't say it."
Liao Wei scratched the back of his head, looking confused, "How can I understand if you don't tell me?"
"I don't want to talk to you anymore. It's boring." Qi Xiaolei crossed her arms and sat up straight in anger.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Is that what I mean?"
"How can I know what you mean if you don't tell me?"
"When I say it's boring, that's what I mean."
"you..."
Liao Wei was so angry that he couldn't say anything.
Su Wan rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Weren't you two just discussing the stewed beef brisket and seaweed soup in the cafeteria? Why are you getting off topic?"
Qi Xiaolei said unhappily: "Captain Su, he doesn't understand what I mean at all?"
"How can I know what you mean if you don't tell me? I'm not a worm in your stomach."
After Liao Wei finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Ye Bai, "Xiao Bai, did you understand what I meant?"
"this...."
In fact, Ye Bai also wanted to say something, but I didn’t know what it meant, but I still comforted her: "Xiao Lei, it’s okay. The cafeteria will make stewed beef brisket next time."
As soon as the words fell, Qi Xiaolei immediately smiled and said: "Look...Look, how come Xiaobai understands what I mean."
Ye Bai:…( . )! ?
Liao Wei:…(˙ー˙)? ?
Suwan…(⊙o⊙)! ?
Han Jianye:…(╭)╭So what did Qi Xiaolei mean?
