Chapter 40 Arson Case (V) Still Suspicious
Yu Mengmeng's words made Han Jianye and others suspicious. They felt that Yu Xixi might know some secrets that they had not yet understood.
On the way back, Qi Xiaolei was full of doubts. "I have asked Yu Xixi before, but she just kept shaking her head and insisted that she knew nothing. I think it might be because they just experienced a life-and-death situation and have not fully recovered from the fear. In this case, even slight amnesia or temporary memory loss due to fear is understandable."
Han Jianye nodded in agreement and said, "It is indeed possible, but we still have to meet Yu Xixi in person and hear what she says."
It was dark when they came out of the hospital.
Qi Xiaolei was still confused: "Captain Han, didn't the chat records between Yu Si and Li Meigui prove that they had premeditated the murder? This is an indisputable fact."
"Yes, I know. But somehow, I always feel that there is a more complicated truth behind the matter, but I can't put it into words now."
Qi Xiaolei sighed softly. She stared through the car window at the passing street scene and muttered to herself, "Could it be that the fire was caused by the sisters? That's too outrageous."
As soon as these words were spoken, Han Jianye and Ye Bai exchanged glances at the same time.
Indeed, Qi Xiaolei’s words expressed the doubts in their hearts, but the paradox is, how should Mi Chuchu’s death be explained?
At present, it seems that Yu Si is the only possible murderer.
Yu Xixi's uncle, Xu Qiao, said indignantly: "My sister was often beaten by him before she divorced him. He has a violent tendency. When my sister wanted to divorce him, he threatened her with the child, saying that she could divorce him but he would give her the child.
My sister must have suffered internal injuries from her beating, and later died of the illness that could not be cured. The reason why his wife died was because of his mistress, and now he has killed the mistress for the lover outside. What do you think is the reason for a man like him to live? If I don’t take Xixi in, will she still survive in that family? ”
Xu Qiao's words let everyone know that Yu Si was also a domestic violence victim.
Han Jianye turned to Yu Xixi and asked her gently, "Before your father left, he told you to do your homework in your room and not to disturb Aunt Mi. Did you and your sister hear any noise outside in your room?"
Yu Xixi shook her head and replied, "No."
Ye Bai frowned and thought: Han Jianye didn't ask her what sound she heard, and she denied it immediately without even thinking.
Han Jianye asked her again: "Did you leave the room before the fire?"
Yu Xixi hesitated for a moment and shook her head at first, but after a while, she seemed to have thought of something, nodded again, and said, "I'll go to the bathroom and be back soon."
"Then when you were in the toilet, did you hear Aunt Mi talking or walking?" Han Jianye continued to ask.
"No." Yu Xixi answered firmly.
"So you went to the bathroom and went straight back to your room."
Yu Xixi nodded, "Yes."
After a brief questioning, they left Xu Qiao's home.
Before leaving, Xu Qiao said indignantly: "That woman was the mistress who squeezed out my sister. She deserved to die. This is God taking her away."
Han Jianye didn't say anything, after all, it was someone else's family affair.
Qi Xiaolei was already starving and felt like she would faint from hunger if she didn't eat something.
So the three of them each ordered a bowl of noodles at a noodle shop and started eating.
Qi Xiaolei whispered to Han Jianye, "Captain Han, when can you cook for us next time? The beef brisket you made last time was amazing."
Han Jianye just responded calmly, "Let's talk about it when we have time."
His mind is obviously not here right now.
Ye Bai took a sip of noodle soup and suggested, "Let's go to Minzhu Community later. I want to check the two sisters' bedrooms."
Han Jianye had the same idea. He nodded in agreement and said, "Okay, let's go after we finish eating."
Back in the car, Qi Xiaolei sat alone in the back seat with her eyes closed.
Ye Bai took out a portable medicine box from his pocket. He turned his head and looked at Han Jianye, "Remember to take this after dinner."
Han Jianye seemed to be accustomed to such reminders. He naturally stretched out his palm, with a faint smile on his lips, "Why did you suddenly remember it?"
Ye Bai didn't look directly into Han Jianye's eyes, but calmly poured two vitamins into his palm and said in a calm tone: "I forgot it during the day."
Han Jianye put the vitamins into his mouth and started chewing: "I thought you finally found your conscience."
When Ye Bai heard this, he raised his eyelids slightly, but unexpectedly met Han Jianye's gaze.
At that moment, he felt as if his eyes were locked by some force and could not be moved away.
Somehow, Ye Bai felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up, as if being pulled by some strange force.
The dim light reflected on Han Jianye's profile, making his facial features look more three-dimensional and smooth. The corners of his eyes were upturned and his eyes were as deep as the sea. The evening breeze outside the window gently ruffled his hair. The short hair, which did not require much care, hung casually in front of his forehead, yet still retained his elegance.
He often has a smile on his face, revealing confidence and calmness from the inside out.
Well, just like a cunning fox!
Ye Bai quickly withdrew his gaze, as if a little flustered, and then started the car and said softly: "I really forgot."
Han Jianye leaned back without saying a word. He stared at Ye Bai's profile as he concentrated on driving, and a hint of an ambiguous smile flashed in his eyes.
Then he closed his eyes and felt that Ye Bai was like a Bichon Frise who could act. Sometimes when he was angry, he looked fierce and ferocious in his eyes, making people want to tease him.
Twenty minutes later, the three of them arrived at Minzhu Community and came to Yu Si's home.
The first place Ye Bai entered was the sisters' bedroom. Due to the isolation of the door, this place did not suffer serious damage from the fire like the living room.
Ye Bai always had a hunch that this arson case was not as simple as it seemed on the surface. Something seemed to be wrong, but it was hard to explain.
Yu Xixi's unusual reaction tonight further strengthened his inner doubts.
He searched the bookcase carefully and thought: Little girls usually have the habit of writing diaries, right?
Yu Xixi was born to his ex-wife, and her mother had died of illness a long time ago. Ye Bai believed that it was unlikely that Mi Chuchu would treat her with complete sincerity, so she must have many unknown secrets in her heart.
At the same time, Han Jianye found a folded quilt in the corner of the room.
He reached out and spread out the quilt, and suddenly, an old mattress and a small pillow fell out from the quilt.
His sharp eyes noticed that the quilt in his hand looked out of place with the lovely, new three-piece set of sheets on the bed.
His first reaction was to think, could it be that Yu Xixi was sleeping on the floor in this room?
