Chapter 79 There is cat stuff
Qi Nian was so shocked by these two ruthless people that he didn't know what to say. He also didn't know what they were thinking. Did they really think they could hide the police investigation in the end?
However, even though it has been confirmed that there is something wrong with the couple, we still have to look at the evidence. We can't just tell the police so rudely that there is something wrong with these two people and arrest them directly.
This is obviously impossible.
However, once you have the answer, the search process becomes much simpler.
The police also became suspicious of Zhao Hongxia.
The reason is very simple. The previous robber always robbed wealthy people. Obviously, he had planned ahead and would carry out the robbery on the route that the victim must pass.
But among the victims, there happened to be an unexpected person named Zhao Hongxia. Zhao Hongxia was not rich, and her family was not even ordinary. It could be said that she was extremely poor.
Attacking someone like Zhao Hongxia obviously doesn't fit the robber's usual motive.
Chu Qian also provided some clues to the police. Of course, she could not directly say that the robber was Zhao Hongxia's husband, but she could talk about some problems she had discovered.
Chu Qian: "...According to that aunt, all the income of Zhao Hongxia's family comes from Zhao Hongxia's small business. And not long after the first robbery, Zhao Hongxia closed the small stall that the family relied on for survival. Logically, Zhao Hongxia's family's living standard should have declined, but just this morning, I noticed that Zhao Hongxia was wearing a luxury necklace around her neck that was obviously not in line with her consumption level. There were also several things in her house that were obviously not right."
Although Chu Qian has only been in this line of work for a short time, she has achieved a lot. After so much training, her observation skills are also first-class. In just a few sentences, she can quickly grasp the key points.
Because of the clues she provided, and the fact that the police themselves also suspected Zhao Hongxia, they now speculate that Zhao Hongxia's husband is very likely the robber.
They quickly held a meeting and decided to interrogate Zhao Hongxia and her husband separately.
When the police arrived at the house, Zhao Hongxia's husband was still lying on the sofa, smoking a cigarette between his fingers and having unrealistic dreams.
Zhao Hongxia was mopping the floor without complaint. Her husband threw the cigarette butt directly on the floor she had just mopped. Zhao Hongxia was not angry at all. Instead, she cleaned up the cigarette butt with a smile.
She thinks she is the happiest woman now. Her man is so capable, and she will be able to enjoy the good life with him in the future.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
His man made an impatient "tsk" sound and kicked Zhao Hongxia with his dirty foot: "Go and see who it is, don't let anyone in."
Zhao Hongxia quickly put down the mop and went to open the door. When she saw the uniformed police standing at the door, she was stunned. But this stupid woman still remembered her husband's instructions. She opened her arms like a hen protecting her cubs and stopped the police: "You...you can't go in!"
However, it was obviously impossible for her to stop the people, and the police quickly controlled Zhao Hongxia and her husband. Later, they found that the two of them were not sure whether they were smart or stupid, as they carelessly left the suspected stolen goods at home.
Of course, they were all taken away by the police in the end.
The couple were questioned separately.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Hongxia was still very stubborn. Even when the police took out the stolen items that had been identified by other victims and confirmed that they were the things that the victims were robbed, Zhao Hongxia still refused to admit it. She cried and made a fuss, saying that she didn't know and that her husband was innocent.
"Comrade police officer, I really don't know! We are a honest family, how could we do such a thing?" Zhao Hongxia said while crying.
Seeing how she cried, people who didn't know her might believe her. However, she obviously couldn't fool the police.
The interrogating policeman took out the stolen goods and showed them to her: "This is what we found in your house. Don't tell me, you don't know where it came from."
Zhao Hongxia was stunned for a moment, then immediately cried and shook her head: "I really don't know, police comrade, I really don't know. It must be... someone must have framed our family. This person is so vicious, police comrade, didn't they say that the robber was very powerful? Maybe... maybe he secretly put it in our house!"
The police almost laughed: "You mean, the robbers put the stolen goods in your house without your knowledge?"
Zhao Hongxia nodded quickly: "Yes, that's it, that's it."
As she spoke, she banged her head against the object in front of her, saying, "Police comrade, please let us go. I really don't know. I really don't know!"
Seeing that Zhao Hongxia was emotionally agitated, the interrogation could only be suspended.
Zhao Hongxia breathed a sigh of relief. Just when she thought she could still hide the truth this time, the police came with the latest news: Zhao Hongxia's husband had admitted it.
Police: "Those things were indeed placed in your home by a robber. That robber was your husband, right?"
Zhao Hongxia widened her eyes and kept shaking her head: "No, no, it's not like that..."
The police slammed the table and said in a stern voice: "Zhao Hongxia, don't resist anymore. Your husband has already confessed his crimes!"
Zhao Hongxia couldn't quite believe it. For a moment, her waist collapsed. She was stunned for a long time, and suddenly she covered her face and burst into tears.
Zhao Hongxia's husband was indeed a little smart, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to carry out robberies so many times and still hide the truth.
Seeing that the amount of money involved was getting big, he knew that if he didn't think of a solution, he would be caught sooner or later, so he thought of a solution.
First, he let Zhao Hongxia pretend to be a passerby and act with him, making Zhao Hongxia the victim as a matter of course.
At that time, Zhao Hongxia deliberately waited for a while before calling the police. The police just thought that she was frightened at the time and did not react for a while, so they did not suspect her.
At this point, Zhao Hongxia’s husband’s first step was completed.
The second step, which is also the most difficult step, is how to make the police suspect another person and thus clear him of suspicion.
It was really difficult to do this. Until Zhao Hongxia’s husband saw the fool, the other person’s height and figure were very similar to him. At that time, he felt that this was simply God helping him.
So, he deliberately let Zhao Hongxia trick the fool out, and then he coaxed the fool to change into the clothes he wore when he committed the crime before, and told him that he wanted to play a "game" with him.
When the fool was holding a knife and shouting "robbery" to passers-by, he was quickly caught by the police who attached great importance to the matter.
The fool has been caught, and there is one last step, which is to convict the fool of a crime.
At this time, Zhao Hongxia, who was once a "victim", had to be used. In order to prevent the police from noticing anything, Zhao Hongxia's husband specially taught Zhao Hongxia how to say it.
During the teaching process, if Zhao Hongxia did something wrong, she would be severely beaten by her husband. In the end, she was covered with wounds and finally passed her husband's examination.
The couple never imagined that it was this identification that increased the police's suspicion of them.
Moreover, fools are indeed easy to control and have no ability to defend themselves, but at the same time, how can a fool who can't even defend himself do something like robbery?
Zhao Hongxia and her husband thought they were smart, but they didn't know that the law is strict and there is no loophole.
——
The day when the fool was released was a rare day of good weather. In winter, the sky in Beijing was often gloomy and the sun was never visible.
Today the sun is shining brightly, adding a bit of warmth to the winter.
Qi Nian and Chu Qian also came and saw the fool's parents stretching their necks, eagerly waiting for their son to appear.
Finally, the fool was brought out.
During the time at the police station, he lost a lot of weight and his eyes looked dull. But the moment he saw his parents, his eyes lit up again and he ran to his parents happily like a little child, hugged them and burst into tears, "Mom and Dad, wuwuwu..."
The couple felt extremely distressed and they consoled the child in soft voices for a long time. The fool who didn't remember anything soon forgot his previous sadness and started to smile foolishly.
Chu Qian took a photo of them hugging each other and wiped the tears from her eyes: "I am moved, so moved."
Qi Nian nodded. There are such selfless parents in the world. Even if their children will always be children, they can still treat them as treasures.
"At times like this, the more I think of Zhao Hongxia, the angrier I get." Chu Qian seemed to be really angry, and she complained to Qi Nian with a look of disappointment.
Let’s not talk about Zhao Hongxia’s husband, he is a pure evil person. But Zhao Hongxia should have been a victim of domestic violence, but he chose to help the evildoer and even felt that he was living a happy life.
"You know what she said." Chu Qian was so angry that her dialect almost came out. One could imagine what outrageous words Zhao Hongxia said.
Qi Nian immediately pricked up his ears, his deer eyes filled with a desire to know: "What did you say?"
Chu Qian was speechless, rolled her eyes and said, "She said that her man was justified in beating her because she couldn't have children."
Everyone thought: "Ah..."
Chu Qian: "That's nothing. The most incredible thing is that it's not Zhao Hongxia's fault at all."
Qi Nian's eyes widened even more: "Is it her husband's fault that she can't have children? Then why does she look so guilty?"
Moreover, even if Zhao Hongxia couldn't give birth, would she become a sinner?
Qi Nian didn't know what to say. He really wanted to ask whether Zhao Hongxia's husband's family had an heir to the throne.
Zhao Hongxia really lived up to the saying that there must be something hateful about every pitiful person.
——
The end of the year is approaching. Although there are still more than ten days before the New Year, the nearby supermarkets and other places are filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Your second brother won't be back for the New Year this year." Ning Min said to Qi Nian.
Upon hearing this, Qi Nian immediately looked at Ning Min cautiously, fearing that she would feel sad.
No matter what, what Chinese people care about most is whether they can reunite during the Spring Festival. In the past, Chu Tianheng would set aside New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year to go home for the New Year.
This is the first year that Chu Tianheng hasn't come back, and Chu Tianyan isn't coming back either, so it's normal for Qi Nian to be a little worried.
As it turned out, Ning Min didn't look sad at all. Instead, she was smiling and looked extremely happy.
Qi Nian was full of questions and asked Ning Min carefully: "Auntie? You seem to be in a good mood, huh?"
"Of course." Ning Min was happy and explained the reason why she was happy: "Because, your second brother will be on the Spring Festival Gala this year!"
Ning Min sighed: "After being a star for so long, I finally have something to show for myself."
That’s right, in the eyes of the elders, no matter how popular Chu Tianheng is on the Internet and how often he appears on the hot searches on Weibo, these are all fake and cannot be seen on TV.
But it’s different when it comes to the Spring Festival Gala. Even though the Spring Festival Gala is getting uglier and uglier and is criticized every year, it still holds a very special status in the hearts of the Chinese people.
Maybe if Chu Tianheng told his family that he would not go home for the New Year, his family might be sad. However, if he said that he was not going home because he wanted to perform on the Spring Festival Gala, the feeling would be completely different.
For example, at this moment, Ning Min's fingers were tapping quickly on the mobile phone keyboard.
Qi Nian asked curiously, "Auntie, what are you doing?"
Ning Min turned the phone screen towards him so that she could watch it together.
My goodness, in just a short while, she had shared this matter with all her relatives, including those who were not related to her at all and whom she hadn't seen all year round.
What he said was, "Tianheng is going to be on the Spring Festival Gala, remember to watch it." "Ah? You're overseas, so you may not be able to see it? It doesn't matter, I'll record it for you and send it to you!"
Qi Nian was watching from the side: “…”
At this time, Chu Zhen came out again, staggering with his fishing equipment.
Ning Min frowned: "Going fishing again?"
Chu Zhen was very brave at the moment, and frowned: "What's wrong with me fishing?"
Ning Min: “?” Have you become more capable?
Then I heard Chu Zhen say, "I told my friends about my son's performance on the Spring Festival Gala, and they were all happy to hear it."
Ning Min immediately laughed when she heard this: "That's enough, just keep a low profile."
Qi Nian: “…” I don’t know how my second brother would react if he knew.
Sure enough, Chu Tianheng called not long after and questioned Ning Min: "Mom, didn't I tell you not to talk nonsense?"
After all, the program may be cancelled before the Spring Festival Gala is broadcast, and Chu Tianheng will be socially dead on the spot.
Ning Min touched her nose awkwardly: "I didn't tell anyone. We are all family."
Chu Tianheng: “…Hehe.”
"Oh, thank you so much, Mom." Chu Tianheng gritted his teeth and said, "If there is anything in the future, don't even think about getting it from me in advance."
Ning Min: “…”
She turned her head to look at Qi Nian, who silently lowered his head and pretended not to see anything.
So Ning Min called everyone one by one and said, "Well, actually I don't necessarily have to go... Oh, it wasn't chopped off, you don't understand this balabala..."
You can see that I want to make up for it as much as possible.
But it is certain that it will not be spread as: - Was the show cancelled?
——
I don’t know if it’s because she’s too bored recently, but Liu Yu has decided to start a business!
"What starting a business? Hahaha, I just want to open a small shop. I counted my pocket money two days ago and it's still quite a lot. If I keep it in the bank, it will only depreciate. I thought about it and since I have nothing else to do, I might as well just open a shop." The rich second generation Liu Yu explained with his hands covering his mouth embarrassedly and laughing.
"What shop? The New Year is almost here, is it going to open soon?" Qi Nian cracked melon seeds curiously.
"It's just a clothing store. The store is ready. Let's open it as soon as possible. It's open as many days as possible." Liu Yu said, calculating how much money he would lose by taking a day off.
Qi Nian also had no idea about this and thought what Liu Yu said made a lot of sense.
"Come to think of it, wasn't I planning to open a shop before? Then my dad secretly wanted to teach me, saying that he had a lot of experience or something." Liu Yu said: "In the end, I believed him. Look at the decoration reference he chose for me at that time."
Liu Yu said this and showed the picture to Qi Nian.
After Qi Nian finished reading it, he immediately showed a puzzled expression. No, what's going on with this pure deathly Barbie pink?
Liu Yu pointed out: "My mother is right, my father is a very straight man. According to his stereotype, girls should like this color."
In the past, Liu Yu thought that doing business must be interconnected. Since her father was able to start a successful business, there must be something worth learning from him.
But now...
She just wants to say that different trades are like different worlds, so please stay away from them.
"On the day of opening, I specially invited several popular store bloggers to come and promote my store. Remember to come when the time comes." Liu Yu looks like she has invested a lot of money. According to her, if she doesn't make any money, she may have to go home and live off her parents.
Qi Nian made an OK gesture, indicating that he would go to show his support.
On the opening day, Qi decided on the flower basket and went to Liu Yu's store.
However, he was not the only one who went there, there was also... Cheng Yelei.
Qi Nian casually mentioned that he wanted to support his friend, and then, for some reason, Cheng Yelei begged to go along.
His reason was very good: "I have rich experience in starting a business. What kind of store does your friend open? Oh, a clothing store? That's not a coincidence. I have been to a clothing store before. Maybe I can give him some advice."
Qi Nian: “…” Do you have rich experience in failure?
He was very afraid that Cheng Yelei would lead Liu Yu into trouble, and he would feel guilty.
But Qi Nian was too embarrassed to say it, so he could only take Cheng Yelei with him.
The opening ceremony was quite grand and many people came to watch. Due to the large flow of people, business on the first day was unexpectedly good.
Unfortunately, Liu Yu spent too much money in the early stages, and in the end he only had enough money to hire three employees. Seeing that the business was so good, he had no choice but to do it himself.
Seeing this, Qi Nian also came to help.
He can't be a shopping guide, but he can help with the cashier.
Cheng Yelei was eager to try: "Hey? Are they still in need of a shopping guide over there? I'll go and help."
Qi Nian hesitated to speak: "Uh... you should just forget it."
Cheng Yelei was very angry: "I don't look down on others anymore, okay?"
Qi Nian sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, but can you be a shopping guide in a women's clothing store?"
"Why not? Don't look down on me." Cheng Yelei said, and in order to prove that he was capable, he immediately joined the shopping guide.
Not to mention, Cheng Yelei himself is not bad looking. After all, his family genes are there. If you look at him without any prejudice, he is indeed a handsome guy.
Liu Yu's clothing store targets middle-aged wealthy women as its customer base, um...so Cheng Yelei's business is particularly good.
Cheng Yelei was still stupid and didn't realize the problem. Looking at the orders he had sold, he felt a little dizzy: Humph, this will definitely impress Qi Nian!
Concept: OvO
In the afternoon, Liu Yu finally had some free time. He asked a few shopping guides to take a rest first, and then he started to use the calculator with shining eyes, calculating today's turnover.
Finally, I concluded: "If the business can continue to be this good, I will be able to earn back my investment very quickly!"
Liu Yu thought about it, and quickly gave Qi Nian and Cheng Yelei big red envelopes to thank them for coming to help her today.
Cheng Yelei's red envelope was particularly generous. Liu Yu held his hand and praised him sincerely: "Brother, you are a rare talent!"
Cheng Yelei: There was actually a day when I was called a “talent”!
He was in a daze, but Liu Yu secretly pulled Qi Nian to a corner and asked in a low voice: "Niannian, does your friend have a job?"
Talents like this must stay and work in her store!
Those aunties, just seeing Cheng Yelei, are willing to buy a few more clothes!
Qi Nian shook his head: "No."
Liu Yu immediately clapped her hands happily: "What do you think, let him work in my store?"
Qi Nian was stunned: "I'm afraid it won't work."
Then, when Liu Yu learned about Cheng Yelei's family situation, her heart immediately turned cold. To be honest, Cheng Yelei was the son of a wealthy family, and it was obviously impossible for him to come to work for her.
In the end, she gave up the idea, but Cheng Yelei hesitated for a while, as if he had made up his mind, and took the initiative to ask Liu Yu: "Liu Yu, can I come to work in your store?"
Liu Yu: “!!!” I would like to, but I can’t afford the salary.
But Liu Yu thought about it and realized that the courage of a person depends on the productivity of the land. As a human being, one must dare to think and act!
So she tried to find out, "How about 20,000 a month?"
Any more would be a problem, and any more would depend on the situation later. Liu Yu's abacus was clacking, and he would never do a business that would lose money.
Then, Cheng Yelei took out his phone and said to Liu Yu, "Let's add WeChat. I'll transfer you 100,000 yuan for five months first."
Liu Yu: “…”
Everyone thought: "..."
So, do the young masters from wealthy families have to pay to go to work?
Cheng Yelei was a little embarrassed, scratching his head and said, "This is the first time someone has praised me for my talent. Money and other things don't matter."
These words made Liu Yu and Qi Nian feel a little sad.
Liu Yu once again expressed with great sincerity: "You are indeed a talent! Others are just shortsighted!"
Cheng Yelei couldn't believe it: "Really?"
Liu Yu affirmed: "Of course!"
Qi Nian watched the two of them staring at each other with tears in their eyes: "..."
——
Liu Yu doesn't do business for fun, she really puts her heart into it.
We specifically note down big customers based on their recent consumption and provide them with a series of VIP services.
For example, deliver goods to their door, and notify them first when there are new models.
"But this sister asked the store to deliver the clothes to this address and to help her check on her husband." Liu Yu immediately grasped the key point. Maybe this sister suspected her husband.
Qi Nian happened to be here and asked curiously, "Do you want to help her check it?"
Liu Yu was also a little confused: "It's mainly because this is the first time I've seen this kind of situation. This girl has been married for 20 years, and I still don't know what her husband does. Her husband said he's in business, and every once in a while, he would bring back a few properties or shops or something."
Qi Nian was surprised to hear this: "What kind of business does her husband do? Doesn't she know anything about it?"
"Yeah, I find it strange too." Liu Yu nodded and said, "This is definitely a case of cat peeping."
But she runs a shop as her business and won't get involved in such things.
