"Juan, goodbye. Death is the greatest thing. No matter how many unpleasant things Liu Meiling did in her life, she is dead now. Let's not remember the unpleasant past." Zhu Jun advised.
Liu Meiling was the only girl Zhu Jun had ever liked. After learning of Liu Meiling's death, Zhu Jun was really sad.
"Brother, have you forgotten? A few days ago, the Liu family asked the police to investigate you because they suspected you of killing Liu Meiling! You can swallow this, but I can't." Zhu Juan was so angry at Zhu Jun's magnanimity that she jumped to her feet.
Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned. Just now, at the Zhou family's doorstep, Zhu Jun and Liu Jingye had a good chat! It didn't sound like a scene of "enemies meeting" at all.
"It's Aunt Yu, not Uncle Liu. Aunt Yu was upset by Meiling's death, so she was talking nonsense." Zhu Jun strangely "understood" the meaning in Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes and quickly explained.
"No matter if it's Yu Fanghua or Liu Jingye, they are all members of the Liu family." Zhu Juan pouted and said indignantly.
If the Liu family had any affection for Zhu Jun, they wouldn't have gone to the public security bureau and made such unfounded accusations. Liu Meiling's death wasn't just Yu Fanghua's accusation of wrongdoing. Ultimately, they were simply seeking an outlet for their grief.
After Yu Fanghua went to the Public Security Bureau and identified Liu Meiling's body, she seemed to have gone crazy, crying and making a fuss in the Public Security Bureau, insisting that either Liu Meiling or Zhu Jun had killed her, and asked the police to send someone to arrest Zhu Jun immediately.
The police tried to persuade him, but Yu Fanghua said that they were afraid of the Zhu family's power and wanted to protect the murderer. The police chief was so angry that his face turned black on the spot.
The public security department certainly couldn't arrest Zhu Jun based on Yu Fanghua's one-sided statement. Furthermore, when Liu Meiling died, Zhu Jun was lying unconscious in the hospital's emergency room with a headache! There was no way Zhu Jun was the murderer.
Zhu Jun himself did not take this matter seriously, but Zhu Juan kept it in mind!
"Uncle Liu and his family love their daughter dearly, otherwise they wouldn't have disregarded the relationship between our two families." Zhu Jun was silent for a while before advising Zhu Juan. In fact, Zhu Jun was also advising himself.
Yu Fanghua randomly accused him of being a murderer. Zhu Jun was not without anger, but when he thought of Liu Meiling's death, Zhu Jun put aside his anger.
"But they wronged you, and I hate them." Zhu Juan stomped her feet childishly and ran away to sulk.
"Zhu Jun, you are so generous." Zhou Yuanyuan sighed.
Zhou Yuanyuan and Zhu Jun had only been acquainted for a few months. Previously, Zhu Jun was a "negative example" for every child in the compound. Although Zhou Yuanyuan didn't dislike Zhu Jun, she didn't have a very good impression of him.
At this moment, Zhou Yuanyuan began to look at Zhu Jun with a new respect. She had never expected that Zhu Jun, who usually looked so carefree, actually had such a soft heart and an open mind.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, I'm not being magnanimous, I just feel sorry for Meiling. Although she kicked me out, at least we had some good times together. Liu Meiling doesn't like me because I'm not good enough. Everyone wants to have a good partner, and so do I. So, what qualifications do I have to blame a girl I once liked just because I'm not good enough?" Zhu Jun said this with a calm face.
Although Liu Meiling's love for Zhu Jun was just a beautiful lie, it was undeniable that Zhu Jun believed it and wanted to give Liu Meiling a better future, which is why he pulled himself together from his previous decadence. In the past, Zhu Jun lived a life of mediocrity, with no sunshine in his heart, only pessimism and resentment.
Zhu Jun, who fell in love with Liu Meiling, felt hopeful and became more serious about his work and life than before. Just because this relationship helped him when he was most desperate, Zhu Jun felt that he should not resent Liu Meiling.
"Can you tell me how Liu Meiling died?" Looking at Zhu Jun's open-minded attitude, Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly felt the urge to meddle in his affairs. For no other reason than to cherish the beauty in Zhu Jun's heart.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, are you willing to help investigate Meiling's death?" Zhu Jun's face lit up with surprise. Zhu Jun had seen Zhou Yuanyuan's methods before. The last time Liu Meiling disappeared, Zhou Yuanyuan somehow retrieved a "surveillance video" and found her. Otherwise, Liu Meiling might have died of thirst in his pendant.
"Let me listen first, and then I'll help analyze it." Zhou Yuanyuan did not agree immediately.
"According to the police, Liu Meiling was strangled to death and then her body was dumped in a ditch in the western suburbs of the city. The first day Liu Meiling's body was found was Meiling's grandfather's 70th birthday. Uncle Liu and Aunt Yu took their eldest daughter to Yu's house early in the morning. Meiling was in a bad mood and didn't want to go to the birthday party, so she stayed at home. At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Aunt Yu called Liu Meiling and persuaded her to attend the birthday party. Liu Meiling had already agreed, but then ran away from home for some reason..." Zhu Jun told Zhou Yuanyuan what he had learned.
Liu Meiling's body was found in a ditch in the western suburbs of the city. The water in the ditch was very shallow, less than an adult's knees. Liu Meiling was only wearing pajamas and had no ID or anything.
After some investigation, the public security department confirmed Liu Meiling's identity.
When Yu Fanghua saw Liu Meiling's body, she fainted. After waking up, she started to cry out loudly, saying that Meiling could not have committed suicide and must have been murdered. She demanded that the police severely punish the murderer.
After the forensic autopsy, it was discovered that Liu Meiling did not die from drowning, but was strangled to death and then her body was thrown away.
The murderer was very cunning. After several days of investigation, the public security department still had no clue.
"Robbery or rape?" This was the first question that popped up in Zhou Yuanyuan's mind after listening to Zhu Jun's narration.
"No, Meiling was not assaulted. She had nothing on her except a set of pajamas, a bag, cash, and documents. I don't know if any of her belongings were taken away by a thief." Zhu Jun explained hurriedly.
"Pyjamas? Didn't Liu Meiling run away from home before? Why would she run away from home in pajamas?" Zhou Yuanyuan was surprised.
Shouldn't someone leaving the house change clothes and grab a suitcase before leaving? At the very least, they should grab a bag with some money or something. Going out in pajamas wasn't Liu Meiling's style at all.
Zhu Jun's expression changed.
