Chapter 10: First Confrontation (V)
Because of Lin Qi's words, Xia Beibei felt dizzy the whole afternoon, and was not in the right state when Yang Lin pushed her into the interrogation room.
So much so that when Gao Bochuan asked her to take Ye Menglan's statement, she looked dully and frowned in deep thought.
Then, Gao Bochuan slapped her on the back of the head. Xia Beibei came back to her senses, covered the back of her head and glared at him, then suddenly she breathed a sigh of relief. She was really scared to death.
Lin Qi is such a big liar. She doesn't like her at all. It's obvious that she just dislikes her. How can you like someone and then beat her up every day? She doesn't seek abuse.
Perhaps because her husband had died, Ye Menglan was in a bad mood and had lost a lot of weight. She could still answer a few basic questions that Xia Beibei asked, but when she asked about the villa, her eyes began to avoid him.
Xia Beibei stared at her for a while, then suddenly said:
"Ms. Ye, we have enough evidence to prove that your son Chen Yu lives in that villa. The reason why we are asking you about the villa now is because there are no fingerprints of your son Chen Yu in the villa."
Xia Beibei's words made Ye Menglan's expression tense and then relaxed. Seeing this, Xia Beibei continued:
"Ms. Ye, don't be happy yet, this is not a good thing."
Ye Menglan's expression, which had just relaxed, suddenly tightened again, and she looked at Xia Beibei defensively: "What do you mean?"
Xia Beibei said, "The villa is where your son lives, but there are no fingerprints of his in it. This can only mean two things."
"First, the murderer helped your son erase the traces, but why would the murderer help your son erase the traces? Because your son and the murderer knew each other. Second, your son is the murderer. After he killed Chen Yong, he erased the traces himself."
"You... don't talk nonsense. Xiaoyu was in the hospital when Chen Yong died. How could he kill someone? Don't think you can wrongly accuse someone just because you are a police officer. I can sue you!"
Ye Menglan was irritated by Xia Beibei's words. She stood up and slammed the table violently, cursing. Xia Beibei looked at her for a while and the pen in her hand began to move.
"Ms. Ye, you can interrupt me or refute me next, but if I were you, I wouldn't be so impulsive, because subconscious emotions may reveal your true thoughts. If I were you, I would sort out my thoughts in my mind first, and then refute."
Perhaps it was Xia Beibei's hint. Although Ye Menglan looked annoyed and unhappy, she pursed her lips and said nothing. Xia Beibei stared into her eyes and talked about the affair between Chen Yong and Li Xiaochun before slowly getting to the point.
"Chen Yu and his son have a bad relationship. Chen Yu loves you very much, so he hates Chen Yong. He knows that Chen Yong has an illegitimate child and that Chen Yong has many lovers. Every time you quarrel with Chen Yong, Chen Yu hates Chen Yong especially. He appears to be well-behaved, but in fact he holds a grudge against Chen Yong. Therefore, he has enough motive to kill Li Xiaochun and Chen Yong."
After Xia Beibei finished speaking, she put down her pen and knocked on the table, signaling Ye Menglan that she could speak. Ye Menglan's reaction was as intense as expected. She repeatedly emphasized that Chen Yu could not have killed anyone.
Xia Beibei told Gao Bochuan that Ye Menglan did not want the police to know that the villa in the suburbs was Chen Yu's resting place, but she really didn't know who the murderer was, and she was very painful about Chen Yong's death.
Gao Bochuan asked Lin Qi to look after Ye Menglan temporarily, and then took Xia Beibei to the hospital.
Chen Yu was lying on the hospital bed playing with his cell phone. He was a thin, fair-skinned boy. When the two of them came in, he didn't even raise his head.
Xia Beibei called him, but he still ignored her. Xia Beibei looked back at Gao Bochuan, then walked over and snapped her fingers in Chen Yu's ear, and Chen Yu then looked up.
The young man had an impatient look on his face, but the moment he saw Xia Beibei, his eyes widened, then he quickly lowered his head to avoid her gaze.
Xia Beibei was stunned, thinking that he was amazed by her beauty. She was feeling happy, but gradually she felt something was wrong.
When she asked him questions, his tone was full of rejection and impatience, as well as a hint of vigilance and panic. It was obvious that he was not attracted by her beauty, but he avoided her gaze from time to time.
She thought Chen Yu was not good at interacting with strangers, but when Gao Bochuan asked him questions, he always looked up and looked straight at her. But when she looked over, Chen Yu would deliberately avoid her gaze.
Perhaps because of nervousness, Chen Yu picked up the paper cup on the table and drank a few sips of water. Xia Beibei looked up at Gao Bochuan. Gao Bochuan's eyes flashed, and he walked to the other side of the bed calmly.
Chen Yu seemed afraid to look at Xia Beibei, his eyes followed Gao Bochuan all the time. Xia Beibei nonchalantly took out another paper cup from the drawer.
He pinched the edge of Chen Yu's paper cup and poured water into it. He turned around, took out an evidence bag from his bag, put the paper cup in it, and stuffed it into his bag, all in one smooth move.
Chen Yu looked back, Xia Beibei leaned over and stared into his eyes, he quickly turned his head away, then Xia Beibei touched a few strands of his hair off the pillow.
Gao Bochuan waited for Xia Beibei to nod at him before he walked back calmly and took out a cigarette from his pocket. Xia Beibei was about to remind him that smoking was not allowed in the hospital when she saw him hit Chen Yu's right hand with the cigarette.
"When did your hand get injured?"
Chen Yu subconsciously hid his hand under the quilt, and then took it out under Gao Bochuan's indifferent gaze. His right hand was wrapped in thick gauze.
Xia Beibei's eyes flashed but she didn't say anything. What she scratched that night was the right hand of the man in black.
"Two days ago."
"How did you get hurt?"
"The water is scalding. What do you want to ask? I have never left since the day I moved in. If you don't believe me, you can ask the nurse. There are surveillance cameras in the hospital, and you can also investigate."
There was a hint of pride in Chen Yu's voice. He was very smart and alert. Later, no matter what Gao Bochuan asked, his answers were superficial.
After a long time, he lay down and said he felt dizzy. I asked him a lot of questions but didn't get any important information.
Coming out of the ward, Xia Beibei stared at Gao Bochuan with a strange look on her face. When she saw him looking at her coldly, she suddenly said with a depressed look on her face:
"Boss, I'm not ugly, am I? I look kinder than you, right? Chen Yu doesn't dare to look at me, but he dares to look you in the eye. Is there something wrong with this kid's eyes?"
Gao Bochuan reached out and patted the back of her head: "Get to the point."
Xia Beibei grinned, then slowly retracted her smile and frowned:
"Boss, Chen Yu is very smart. He answered every question perfectly. Although it is a bit suspicious, if he really killed Chen Yong, it means he has a high IQ, so it is reasonable."
"What's irrational is that he has been avoiding my gaze. We have never met before. If it's not because I look too scary, then it must be."
She didn't know Chen Yu, but Chen Yu knew her. She thought that her reputation in the police station over the years was not good. Even if Chen Yu knew her, he couldn't be afraid of her. When he avoided her gaze, he was obviously panicked.
In this situation, the only possibility she could think of was that Chen Yu was deliberately avoiding her gaze. Perhaps he knew that as long as he made eye contact with her, she would be able to see through his thoughts.
However, her aunt and the others didn't know about her mind reading ability. The only person who knew about it was Gao Bochuan, so she naturally wouldn't doubt Gao Bochuan.
Therefore, there is only one possibility left, that someone from the Sun Organization knows her secret.
Xia Beibei stretched out her hand and pinched her eyebrows, then turned her head and gave Gao Bochuan a seemingly relaxed smile.
"Boss, it seems that we have not gained nothing. At least, we have found the connection between the murderer and the Sun Organization."
If Chen Yu had contact with the Sun Organization, or if Chen Yu was a member of the Sun Organization, then that would explain why Chen Yu panicked and tried to avoid her gaze as soon as he saw her.
After Xia Beibei finished speaking, she lowered her head and looked at the ground. She took a few steps and suddenly bumped into a wall of flesh.
She quickly took two steps back, covered her forehead and said sorry. Gao Bochuan held her wrist, his expression was heavier and more serious than before.
"So, they found you and knew that you have the ability to read minds, Xia Beibei. You are in the light while they are in the dark. You are now a sitting duck. I will take you back to pack your things and then come home with me. From now on, you cannot leave my sight."
"Boss, I..."
Xia Beibei blushed and was about to speak when Gao Bochuan stopped a nurse and asked her where the office of Chen Yu's attending physician was.
Xia Beibei held her words back and followed Gao Bochuan to the director's office on the third floor.
