Chapter 217 Phone Call
Sitting in the interrogation room of the Municipal Bureau, Zhong Yinghong was still a little confused. Why did I follow Xia Mufan obediently to the Municipal Public Security Bureau? She didn't even think of informing her husband.
When Zhong Yinghong regained consciousness and looked at the phone that she had been holding tightly in her hand, she finally realized what had happened. Oh, yes, when she heard the news that her husband had another family and had a child with a beautiful young girl, she was so angry that she was completely led by Xia Mufan.
Because it was just an inquiry, Xia Mufan was very nice. He poured Zhong Yinghong a cup of hot tea and said in a gentle tone, "Don't worry, drink some tea to calm your nerves."
Zhong Yinghong took a sip of tea and sighed: "Officer Xia, how do you know about my husband?"
Xia Mufan smiled: "Jia Xihua insisted that the person who bought her child was Jiang Zheng. We were worried that he was connected with the human trafficking group, so we sent people to monitor him for a while, so..."
Zhong Yinghong was startled and subconsciously raised her head, meeting Xia Mufan's gaze with caution in her eyes: "Jiang Zheng is not a human trafficker!"
Xia Mufan did not irritate her, but nodded: "Oh, maybe Jia Xihua recognized the wrong person. I just can't stand Jiang Zheng making a little money and settling down outside without caring about the feelings of his first wife, so I came to tell you."
The feeling of suffocation came again, and Zhong Yinghong felt a needle-like pain in her heart. Her mind told her that the police must have other intentions; but her emotions made her ignore the crisis and she only wanted to catch Jiang Zheng and get to the bottom of it.
Zhong Yinghong wanted to ask Jiang Zheng why he treated her like this? Why can we only share hardships but not prosperity? Why did she risk going to jail to do the human trafficking business with him, and now that she has cleaned her name, he wants to abandon her?
Seeing the pain flashing in Zhong Yinghong's eyes, Xia Mufan knew that Jiang Zheng's cheating was a strong enough blow to destroy the solid alliance between them. However, the time is not right yet, so it is better to let this drastic measure slowly ferment in Zhong Yinghong's heart.
Resisting the urge to rush to Jiang Zheng to question him, Zhong Yinghong gradually regained her senses. She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "Officer Xia, thank you for telling me this news. However, this is my family affair after all, so the police don't need to worry about it."
Xia Mufan ignored the sarcasm in Zhong Yinghong's words and kept smiling: "What's wrong with your throat? You looked fine the last time I saw you. Are you sick or poisoned?"
Poisoning? Zhong Yinghong's body trembled, as if Xia Muchan was hinting at something. She coughed, turned away, and lowered her eyes: "It's okay, I just caught a cold."
Xia Mufan still stared at Zhong Yinghong's expression and said meaningfully, "We destroyed a human trafficking gang and confiscated a mute drug. According to the gang leader, the drug is very strong and can make people unable to speak for half a month. Afterwards, the throat will become hoarse, which is quite similar to your symptoms."
Zhong Yinghong didn't look up, but looked down at the back of her feet without saying a word.
Xia Mushige continued, "This kind of mute drug actually has serious side effects. The traffickers just want to silence the abducted girls in the short term so that they can't ask for help. They don't care about the side effects. It's really hateful when you think about it."
Concerned about her own body, Zhong Yinghong finally raised her head, her voice hoarse, like a crow, very unpleasant: "What are the side effects?"
Xia Mushige said slowly: "This drug seriously damages the heart. We have examined dozens of abducted women who took this mute drug and found that they all had severe heart failure and their life span was shortened."
The pain of needles stabbing her heart once again made Zhong Yinghong nervous. She bit her lips tightly and said, "Really?"
Feng Xiaoyu was stunned as he listened. What dumb medicine? What are the side effects? How come she hasn't heard of it? She quickly lowered her head and concentrated on taking notes, so as not to let her expression betray her true thoughts.
Xia Mufan nodded seriously, "Of course. If she took that kind of mute drug, there would be endless troubles. A good girl, not only did the poison make her voice mute, but she also died young. Who wouldn't collapse if they were like that? Damn human traffickers!"
Zhong Yinghong raised her hand to cover her chest, feeling her heartbeat getting faster and faster, and she hated Jiang Zheng even more.
Even though the police didn't suspect him, he was so nervous. I guess it doesn't matter to him since he's not the one taking the medicine, right?
Thinking more darkly, could it be that he has a new love and wants to kill me quietly to make room for the new one?
Xia Mufan curled the corners of his mouth slightly, put a test report on the table, and pushed it in front of Zhong Yinghong.
Zhong Yinghong was somewhat puzzled: "What is this?"
Xia Mufan patiently explained: "Last week, I took a wooden dog house from your yard. It was painted green. Do you remember?"
Zhong Yinghong nodded: "I remember." How could she not remember? If the police hadn't taken the dog house from the yard, she wouldn't have panicked enough to take the mute pills.
Xia Mufan said: "After testing and comparison, the green paint on the bottom of the woven bag is consistent with the scratches on the surface of your dog house. This shows that the bag containing the cat corpse that made our police run around was taken from your yard."
Although her husband repeatedly told her that she knew nothing about the matter, when the police asked her questions, Zhong Yinghong was still a little nervous. Although she was the external liaison leader for child trafficking, the actual operator was Jiang Zheng. She just wore a mask and a hat to connect. Because she had been hiding deeply, she was not discovered by the police, so she had no experience of face-to-face verbal confrontation with the police.
In addition, she was exhausted by Jiang Zheng's cheating, so Zhong Yinghong blurted out: "The killing of the cat has nothing to do with me. It was that ugly guy who did it."
This is the truth, and Zhong Yinghong said it without any burden at all.
Xia Mufan narrowed his eyes slightly, restraining the light in his eyes: "It was you who instructed Cai Yutie to call me, right?"
Zhong Yinghong's heart was beating fast: "No, it's not me."
Xia Mufan stared at Zhong Yinghong with lightning eyes: "Then, who do you think it is?"
Zhong Yinghong was a little puzzled: "Why are you looking at me? It wasn't me who did it, how would I know who did it!"
Xia Mufan suddenly curled his lips, his eyes sneered: "I was talking about the cat's corpse, but I never mentioned that the cat was killed. We went to investigate the matter of Jia Xihua burying your pet dog alive, but the police did not announce that she had killed a cat."
Zhong Yinghong was speechless and her face suddenly turned red.
Only then did she remember that Jiang Zheng asked her to answer all the questions she asked, but she just asked too much!
It was indeed she who asked Cai Yutie to deal with the cat corpse and provoked Xia Mufan, so she smoothly took over Xia Mufan's words. But she forgot that the police had not made the matter public, so she should not have known about it.
No matter how stupid she was, Zhong Yinghong knew that she had completely fallen into Xia Mufan's trap.
Yes, how did she know that the cat was killed? Why did she say that the person who killed the cat was Jia Xihua?
dilemma.
Zhong Yinghong now wanted to slap herself twice.
——Let you be smart!
——Let you talk too much!
Xia Mufan had been sitting on a chair, talking to Zhong Yinghong across a table. Now seeing her face turning red and white, it was a good time to attack. He stood up, walked in front of Zhong Yinghong, and looked down at her.
"Zhong Yinghong, you were the one who saw Jia Xihua killing the cat, right?"
"You were the one who brought the woven bag containing the cat's body back to the villa, right?"
"You were the one who asked Cai Yutie to call me, right?"
Sentence after sentence made Zhong Yinghong's head buzz.
She kept her lips tightly closed and refused to utter another word.
Zhong Yinghong could see that Xia Mufan was very cunning and she could not defeat her at all.
Just when Zhong Yinghong was about to keep silent and not answer anything the police said, the phone she was holding tightly in her hand suddenly rang.
Zhong Yinghong looked down and saw only two words on the phone screen: Husband.
The feeling of helplessness of being cornered by the police made Zhong Yinghong quickly answer the phone.
Jiang Zheng's apologetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Yinghong, I was drunk last night and didn't notice that my phone was out of battery and turned off automatically. I woke up today and found that you called me. I'm sorry, my wife, did you wait for me all night? I..."
Before she could finish her words of comfort, Zhong Yinghong spoke up: "I'm at the Municipal Public Security Bureau."
Jiang Zheng's first reaction was that his wife had gone crazy and ran to the police station to report her missing. He cried out like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, "Public Security Bureau? What were you doing there? I'm not missing. I just didn't come home one night and didn't answer your calls. Why did you go to the police to report her missing?"
There was one more thing he didn't say, which was that at this critical moment, the couple must keep a low profile. How could they take the initiative to provoke the police? What if someone finds out something?
Zhong Yinghong's voice was very dry: "I didn't call the police. It was Officer Xia who invited me over for tea."
Jiang Zheng's voice suddenly froze.
After a second of silence, Jiang Zheng calmed down: "Don't be afraid, don't say anything, I'll be right there."
Jiang Zheng was about to hang up the phone when Zhong Yinghong suddenly spoke up: "You were with Ke Jie last night, right?"
Jiang Zheng paused.
He seemed to be thinking about how to deal with the embarrassment of being discovered by his wife about his infidelity.
Having been married for more than ten years, Zhong Yinghong knew Jiang Zheng too well. As soon as Jiang Zheng's breathing paused, she knew that all this was true.
As Xia Mufan said, Jiang Zheng's heart had already flown away.
It is true that men become bad when they have money.
He had long been in love with a lover who was younger and more beautiful than himself, and had a daughter with her.
"hehe."
Zhong Yinghong's laughter makes people feel creepy.
Jiang Zheng's heart was beating like a drum, and he hurriedly explained, "Wife, listen to me. This Ke Jie was a gift from a partner, and I had to deal with it. You know what business is all about, right? I only have you and my son in my heart."
Zhong Yinghong said calmly, "It's not just a casual affair, right? She even gave birth to a child for you."
Jiang Zheng didn't know how she knew so much information, as he had been hiding it very well. But his intuition told him that if he didn't handle it well this time, everything he had worked hard for over the years would be gone.
He anxiously defended himself: "What's that little girl? Liangliang is the child of my Jiang family!"
"hehe……"
There was a hint of sadness in Zhong Yinghong's voice.
