What's more, Liu Jingye had even gone to the road to block Zhou Zhixin yesterday afternoon. Their words were humiliating. General Zhou hadn't bothered Liu Jingye because he wanted to train Zhou Zhixin's ability to handle things, not because he was willing to swallow his anger.
"Sister Yuanyuan?" Xu Zhiyuan's face flushed red after being rudely interrupted by General Zhou.
"Grandpa Zeng, don't be angry. You don't like to hear about the Liu family. Why don't Xu Gongan and I go outside?" Seeing that General Zhou was unhappy, Zhou Yuanyuan hurried to General Zhou and coaxed the old man.
"No need, the old man will just listen nearby. Liu Meiling from the Liu family is really a lingering ghost. She was annoying when she was alive, and even more annoying when she was dead." General Zhou pulled a long face and criticized bluntly.
Logically, death is the greatest thing, and General Zhou originally didn't want anything for Liu Meiling. However, because of Liu Meiling's matter, Liu Jingye seemed to be crazy. Not only did he come to the door again and again, but he also resented Zhou Zhixin.
When Xu Zhiyuan and his companions arrived at the Zhou family's house, the first thing they mentioned was Liu Meiling. General Zhou's patience had reached its breaking point. When would this situation finally stop?
Xu Zhiyuan smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Xu Zhiyuan had always thought that Liu Jingye and Zhou Zhixin had a good relationship, so he brought up Liu Meiling without hesitation. However, General Zhou's tone seemed to indicate that he disliked Liu Jingye, which made Xu Zhiyuan feel a little overwhelmed.
Fortunately, Zhou Yuanyuan rescued Xu Zhiyuan.
"Xu Gongan, although Liu Meiling and I are not very familiar with each other, we have met several times. If you have anything to ask, I will definitely tell you if I know." Zhou Yuanyuan found a seat close to General Zhou and sat down and asked.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I won't be polite then." Seeing that Zhou Yuanyuan agreed to answer his questions, Xu Zhiyuan felt relieved and quickly entered work mode.
Xu Zhiyuan pulled out a notebook from his pocket, flipped through it, and asked, "Sister Yuanyuan, I want to know, did you receive a call from Liu Meiling on July 2nd?"
"No Ying" Zhou Yuanyuan shook her head. Zhou Yuanyuan didn't even have to think about Xu Zhiyuan's question before she could answer it immediately. Zhou Yuanyuan and Liu Meiling didn't dislike each other, but at least they didn't have good luck with each other.
"Sister Yuanyuan, as far as I know, someone from the Liu family called your house at 4:15 pm on July 2nd. At that time, Liu Jingye and his wife took their eldest daughter Liu Meifang to the Yu family to celebrate Yu Daqian's birthday. Only Liu Meiling was at the Liu family. By the way, the call lasted more than three minutes!" Xu Zhiyuan frowned.
Xu Zhiyuan wasn't afraid that Zhou Yuanyuan was lying, but because this clue was too important to him. Zhou Yuanyuan denied it right away, and Xu Zhiyuan didn't know what else to ask next.
"Xu Gongan, although Liu Meiling and I know each other, we don't have a very good relationship and have never spoken to each other on the phone." Zhou Yuanyuan explained.
"Is that so? Well, sorry to bother you." Xu Zhiyuan was a little embarrassed. No matter how hard he thought about it, he had never considered the possibility that Zhou Yuanyuan and Liu Meiling had no contact. In Xu Zhiyuan's opinion, Zhou Yuanyuan and Liu Meiling were not much different in age, so they should have some common topics. Not to mention, the last time Liu Meiling disappeared, it was the Zhou family who helped find her!
"However, on the afternoon of July 2nd, my mother Wang received a strange phone call." Zhou Yuanyuan is a monk with an excellent memory. As soon as Xu Zhiyuan mentioned it, Zhou Yuanyuan immediately remembered the strange phone call that Wang's mother had mentioned.
Zhu Juan was there too, and Aunt Wang asked her if she was calling to make a joke.
Because several people brought up this matter for discussion, Zhou Yuanyuan remembered it very clearly.
"Ah? Then... can I meet Aunt Wang?" Xu Zhiyuan was feeling disappointed when he suddenly heard the news about Zhou Yuanyuan. He was so excited that he almost knocked over the tea at hand.
That’s right! When Liu Meiling called the Zhou family, she might not have been looking for Zhou Yuanyuan, she could have been looking for Aunt Wang!
"Yuanyuan, ask Aunt Wang to come over." When General Zhou heard this, he already understood why Xu Zhiyuan came.
Although General Zhou disliked the Liu family, he would not hinder Xu Zhiyuan's work because of his own likes and dislikes. If Wang Ma could provide useful clues, General Zhou would certainly be happy to see it happen.
When Zhou Yuanyuan called Wang Ma to the living room, she was still wearing an apron and her hands were wet and dripping with water.
Mother Wang was working in the kitchen. When she heard that Zhou Yuanyuan and the police came to her to find out about the strange phone call a few days ago, she quickly put down what she was doing and rushed over.
"Comrade Public Security, that afternoon's phone call was so strange! It gave me nightmares for several nights!" Faced with Xu Zhiyuan's questioning, Wang Ma wasn't at all nervous. No wonder, Wang Ma had met so many people at the Zhou family. Even the top leader had drunk the tea Wang Ma brewed!
"Comrade Wang, please give us a detailed account of the situation," Xu Zhiyuan asked.
"That phone call went like this..." Wang Ma recalled. Actually, she only heard a girl's "Hello," and then nothing else. Then there was a burst of heavy breathing and the muffled sound of something heavy falling to the ground, and then the phone was hung up.
Afterward, Wang Ma said hopefully, "Comrades, you should take proper care of this kind of random phone calls. The general is in poor health and can't handle any shock."
"Yes, yes. We are investigating it right now! Please rest assured, Comrade Wang." Xu Zhiyuan did not get angry with Wang Ma about Liu Meiling's murder. Before the case was investigated thoroughly, Xu Zhiyuan did not have the habit of talking nonsense.
After Xu Zhiyuan chatted with Wang Ma for a few more words, he thanked her and let her leave.
General Zhou's expression was somewhat solemn.
General Zhou heard what Wang Ma said just now. Although he didn't say anything, his heart was stirred.
In General Zhou's mind, he had already simulated the scene that might happen when Liu Meiling called. When Liu Meiling called, the murderer might be right next to her.
Why did Liu Meiling make this call? And why was she murdered? Was Liu Meiling forced to make this call, or did she make it on her own initiative? The more General Zhou thought about it, the more confused he became.
"Xu, it sounds to me like this phone call is full of doubts! I hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible." General Zhou said worriedly.
"Yes, General, we will definitely bring the real murderer to justice as soon as possible. General, thank you for disturbing you today." Xu Zhiyuan stood up and bowed to General Zhou.
