Chapter 24: The Third Sister Appears (Part 2)
Pan Yuan is dead.
Maureen said that after Pan Yuan had dinner with Yang Lin and others that day, he became depressed and locked himself in the room all day, not replying to text messages or answering phone calls.
She felt something was wrong, so she went to check it out today. She shouted for a long time but no one answered. Fortunately, she had a spare key. When she pushed the door open and went in, she found that Pan Yuan had committed suicide by cutting his wrists.
Maureen has called the police and the local police officer has arrived. She said that the incident happened after Pan Yuan had dinner with Yang Lin, so Pan Yuan's death was related to them, so they came over angrily to question them.
After hearing the whole story, Xia Beibei would have slapped Maureen twice more if Lin Qi hadn't held her back.
This woman's brain was squeezed by the door. Not to mention that Pan Yuan was happy when he left that day. Even if it was really related to that meal, the person to be found should be Yang Lin. It's none of her business!
The person who was dating Pan Yuan was Yang Lin. The only person who could make Pan Yuan unhappy was Yang Lin. It had nothing to do with her, a light bulb. Besides, she didn't meet Pan Yuan alone. This woman just didn't like her and hit her on purpose.
When they went to the scene, Maureen insisted on riding in the same car with Gao Bochuan. Xia Beibei turned around and got into Yang Lin's car. As soon as she got in, Gao Bochuan came in, and then Maureen followed. Gao Bochuan sat in the passenger seat, so Maureen could only sit in the back seat with Xia Beibei.
Xia Beibei was afraid that she would not be able to control her temper and kick her down, so she pulled Lin Qi to sit between them. Along the way, the atmosphere in the car was very strange.
Yang Lin was very sad when he learned that Pan Yuan had died, and he didn't say a word along the way. Lin Qi was also in a bad mood and kept his head down.
Gao Bochuan did not force Maureen to get off the car, because she was the first person to discover the body and was also the person who reported the case, so as soon as she got in the car, he asked Maureen to tell him in detail what happened before and after Pan Yuan's suicide.
Xia Beibei felt annoyed by what she heard and she tried to suppress her anger because Maureen kept hinting at her. She said Pan Yuan had a gentle personality, was honest and quiet, in other words, he had no temper.
She said that Pan Yuan had always been fine, and that she was in a very good mood when she had a blind date with Yang Lin that day.
But after that meal, Pan Yuan became depressed and didn't speak after returning home. When she asked her if there was any possibility of further development between her and Yang Lin, she just cried and later didn't answer the phone.
While speaking, Maureen looked at Xia Beibei from time to time. The meaning was very clear. Pan Yuan and Yang Lin were fine during the meal. It must be that after Xia Beibei came there, she said something or did something that irritated Pan Yuan. So, in the final analysis, Pan Yuan's death was to blame on Xia Beibei.
Xia Beibei was too lazy to pay attention to her and kept turning her head to the window. Gao Bochuan only said one sentence after listening to Maureen's words.
"With your IQ and logic, if you were a police officer, you could just change the name of the Criminal Police Squad to Pig Pen."
Maureen was stunned and didn't react to the meaning of Gao Bochuan's words for a while. She even asked him, but unfortunately Gao Bochuan ignored her. Xia Beibei kindly helped to explain.
"It means you are a pig"
Maureen stamped her feet in anger, but unfortunately no one paid attention to her. After getting off the car, Xia Beibei pulled Lin Qi and Yang Lin aside and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you think Pan Yuan's death has something to do with you?"
Lin Qi's face was ugly and she kept silent. Yang Lin said with a guilty and uneasy look on his face: "After dinner that day, I sent a message to Pan Yuan. I said that we were not suitable. She didn't reply to my message. She must be angry."
Xia Beibei turned to look at Lin Qi. Lin Qi pursed her lips tightly and finally leaned close to her ear and said:
"In fact, that day, Pan Yuan knew that we were following them. When she went to the bathroom, she said that she could see that Yang Lin liked me very much, but she would not give up. Do you think she felt that Yang Lin rejected her because of me, so she was so upset?"
Lin Qi did not dare to say the last two words, but her expression became even uglier. Xia Beibei reached out and poked her on the forehead, and kicked Yang Lin at the same time.
"Are you okay? You two have only met once and you committed suicide for Yang Lin? If Yang Lin had this kind of charm, I would definitely take Yang Lin first without waiting for you two to form a pair of Qilins."
After hearing this, Yang Lin and Lin Qi were stunned. After looking at each other, Lin Qi hugged Xia Beibei's face and kissed her fiercely, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Boss Bei, you are so good at talking, please talk more in the future"
Xia Beibei pushed her face away in disdain: "It's a waste of words to talk too much. If you serve me delicacies from land and sea every day, I can talk about the birth of the little Qilin."
Yang Lin blushed and looked at Lin Qi secretly. Lin Qi glared at Xia Beibei and ran away. Xia Beibei patted Yang Lin on the shoulder and said meaningfully:
"You went out for a date, and this woman dragged me to follow you for the whole afternoon. You should know what she meant. Dalinzi, don't say that I won't help you. In fact, you still have hope."
When Yang Lin heard this, his eyes lit up instantly. Just as he was about to ask her for advice, Xia Beibei said with sympathy:
"Go buy a lottery ticket, you might get lucky and win five million. When you win the lottery, when you date another woman in the future, Lin Qi won't just follow you secretly, she will rush up to you, twist your ears and call you a scumbag."
Yang Lin was speechless: "Boss Bei, you'd better stop talking."
Gao Bochuan came over, grabbed Xia Beibei by the back of her collar and walked forward. Xia Beibei quickly took two quick steps to catch up with him. When she was about to ask a question, Gao Bochuan opened his mouth first.
"The Mo family and the Gao family are old friends. Mo Lin is the daughter-in-law that my parents chose. I don't acknowledge her. Therefore, my relationship with her is limited to acquaintance. We didn't have a relationship before, we don't have one now, and we won't have one in the future."
Xia Beibei was stunned, wondering why he suddenly said this, but she subconsciously said:
"But she likes you. She is targeting me because of you. But why would she target me if she likes you? You..."
Xia Beibei realized what she had said belatedly and quickly covered her mouth. She did hear what Maureen was thinking, but it seemed inappropriate to say it out loud now.
Xia Beibei was thinking about how to explain with a look of annoyance on her face, but Gao Bochuan had already glared at her fiercely, then cursed under his breath and walked away.
"You slow-witted pig! You're so stupid!"
Xia Beibei widened her eyes, Hey! The leader is scolding!
Pan Yuan lives in an old five-story building with no elevator. Pan Yuan lives on the fifth floor of Building No. 4. Xia Beibei followed Gao Bochuan and walked quickly to Building No. 4. A young police officer from the police station was guarding the door of the unit.
Shen Yunfei showed his ID, and the young police officer immediately made way and saluted. Gao Bochuan led his men directly to the fifth floor. The two police officers guarding the door greeted Gao Bochuan respectfully when they saw him: "Captain Gao!"
Gao Bochuan nodded, then pushed open the barrier and walked in. The house was a two-bedroom apartment. There was a living room on the right after entering the door, and past the living room was Pan Yuan's bedroom.
Xia Beibei followed Gao Bochuan into the bedroom. Pan Yuan was lying on the bed with his right hand hanging down. The body had not been moved yet. Gu Ding and his assistant were busy.
Because it was an old building, the ventilation in the room was not very good and the smell of blood was a little pungent. Yang Lin and Lin Qi still felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Pan Yuan's body, so after coming in to take a look, they went out to investigate other places.
Xia Beibei walked around the room and found nothing strange. The entire room was filled with furnishings suitable for a single woman. There were no men's clothes in the closet, and no signs of a man living there.
The only strange thing was that there was an ashtray about seven or eight centimeters in diameter on the dressing table. There were no cigarette butts in it, but there were some ashes left. After Xia Beibei took a look at it, she looked for a trash can in the room.
Finally, she found a trash can under the bed. Sure enough, there were ashes that had been poured out inside, and a small piece of unburned paper on the ground. She put on gloves and picked up the small piece of paper. There was only one sentence on it.
——When you were alive, I was your pet kept in the sewer. When you died, I thought I could finally see the sunlight, but you still forced me to choose death.
What Pan Yuan burned should be a diary, because there was a diary with dozens of pages torn out under the bed, and the remaining unburned paper was the same as the diary paper.
Xia Beibei had just put the paper into the evidence bag when Gu Ding came over. He pushed his glasses and said in a heavy voice:
"The rigor mortis has formed and it is quite hard. Preliminary judgment shows that the time of death was between 12 and 3 a.m. last night. There were no other external injuries on the body. The cause of death was excessive blood loss. For details, we have to wait for the complete autopsy report."
Gao Bochuan nodded and suddenly looked at Gu Ding: "Is the deceased pregnant?"
Seeing Gu Ding nod, Xia Beibei was surprised and hesitated to speak. Pan Yuan is pregnant? Then why is she still going on a blind date with Yang Lin? Strange things happen every year, but this year there are more of them. Just as she was frowning in thought, Gao Bochuan came over and pinched her chin.
“Does it still hurt?”
Xia Beibei was stunned. Seeing him staring at her left cheek, she quickly shook her head: "It doesn't hurt anymore. It's just a slap. I have thick skin and it won't hurt."
Gao Bochuan's face immediately turned cold when he heard this. Xia Beibei felt the sudden chill from him and shivered all over. She didn't know how she had offended him again, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Boss, how do you know Pan Yuan is pregnant?"
Gao Bochuan withdrew his hand and opened the bottom drawer of the bedside table. Xia Beibei leaned over to take a look and opened her mouth in surprise.
The drawer was full of baby clothes, but unfortunately, they were all cut by scissors. The cut edges were messy and in disarray, which showed that the person who cut the clothes was venting his anger.
Xia Beibei frowned and said, "So, Pan Yuan actually has a boyfriend, then why does she still want to go on a blind date, and who is her boyfriend?"
Gao Bochuan didn't say anything and handed the photo in his hand to her. Xia Beibei reached out to take it. In the photo, Pan Yuan was wearing a nurse's uniform and standing in the sun with a beautiful smile. It was a very simple and ordinary photo.
However, Xia Beibei's expression changed as she watched. The nurse's uniform that Pan Yuan was wearing had the logo of the Provincial Hospital on the chest. So, Pan Yuan was a nurse at the Provincial Hospital?
"Boss, so you think Pan Yuan is related to Zhao Yongde?"
Xia Beibei wasn't sure what Gao Bochuan meant, but since he showed her such an ordinary photo, he must have some thoughts on it, so she asked out of guesswork.
Gao Bochuan said: "It's just a guess. There aren't so many coincidences in this world. Since there is a connection, there must be a relationship."
