Chapter 105 The Infatuated Person
Chen Mingli: "Auntie, didn't you lie?"
Xu Lin: "Auntie didn't lie to you. Your mother really loves you. She won't really bear to leave you. She just turned into a little star in the sky and can't come back."
Junlan: "Yes, your mother really loves you, otherwise she wouldn't have asked Junlan's mother to bring you back here to live."
Chen Mingli held the candy in his hand and stopped talking.
Xu Lin: "Junlan, please come and comfort the child. Xiaofeng and I have things to do."
Junlan: "Where are you going now?"
Xu Lin: "Go to Mingjing Building."
The sound of a car starting up outside the villa was heard. Xu Lin looked at Mingli again and left.
In the car, Yue Xiaofeng asked: "Why are you so worried as soon as you leave the villa? Are you still worried about the case?"
Xu Lin: "Compared to Chen Meizhu's case, I am more worried about the child's mental state."
Yue Xiaofeng: "You are an expert in this field. You suspect that he made up those words to deceive us in order to attract the attention of adults."
Xu Lin: "No, looking at those little details about his body just now, I know that what he said doesn't seem to be made up. It's his hatred for his parents that's telling. If I don't guide him properly, I'm really afraid he'll become extreme and go astray, becoming a sociopath."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Happy families are all alike, but unhappy families are indeed different in their own ways. There are many people more unfortunate than him. We police officers can't care about all that. Let's focus our attention back on Chen Meizhu's case. Do you think we can really find that person if we rashly go to Mingjing Building now?"
Xu Lin: "I don't know either, but I know that if you travel more and ask more questions, your hard work will pay off."
They came to Mingjing Building and took Meizhu's photo to ask a security guard on duty at the security booth at the entrance.
Xu Lin: "Excuse me, have you seen the woman in the picture?"
The security guard took one look and said impatiently, "There are so many people coming in and out here every day. How can I remember so many? I've never seen them before and I don't know them."
Xu Lin: "But someone said that this woman was often in and out of this area three months ago. Do you really have no impression of her at all?"
Security guard: "No, then no, you police officers are really nagging."
Yue Xiaofeng felt very uncomfortable after hearing this, and he replied: "Please cooperate with our police work."
Security guard: "If you say no, then no, you police officers are so great?"
When Yue Xiaofeng wanted to continue arguing with him, Xu Lin said, "Forget it, let's go ask someone else!" and then pulled him away.
Yue Xiaofeng: "Why are you pulling me away? I haven't even had a proper argument with him yet!"
Xu Lin: "There's something fishy about this guy. We shouldn't alert him."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Yes, my intuition tells me that this person is indeed problematic, otherwise he wouldn't speak so harshly to us police officers. So now what should we do to prove that he has a problem?"
Xu Lin: "Let me verify my speculation first."
She held the photo up and asked the cleaning lady next to her, "Auntie, have you seen the person in the photo?"
The cleaner looked at her carefully for a long time and said, "Yes, she is a cleaner like me. I once saw her coming here wearing her work clothes from the Lacrosse Hotel!"
Xu Lin was overjoyed: "Yes, she is the room attendant of the Junyue Hotel. Do you know what she is here for?"
Cleaner: "What else could she be doing here? Of course she's here to see that security guard, Ah Zhong."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Then do you know what their relationship is?"
Cleaner: "What else could it be? Of course it's that kind of relationship, you know. I heard that woman is married and has a child! She used to come secretly, but a few months ago she came openly, and quite frequently. She said she was preparing for a divorce. It seems that she is determined to be with Ah Zhong. What a sin! What should we do with the child? She hasn't come in the past few months. Are they breaking up again?"
Xu Lin: "Usually when the police come to ask people, what good things do you think will happen?"
The cleaner thought about it and said with a look of sudden enlightenment: "Could it be that she was the one found dead at the bottom of the lake in the golf resort villa area? What a sin!"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Do you understand that today's matter must be kept secret?"
Cleaner: "I know, I know. Otherwise, who knows if that Ah Zhong would kill me to silence me."
They returned to the car.
Yue Xiaofeng: "Should we arrest him now?"
Xu Lin: "It's too arbitrary to call him a murderer just because we're living together without any evidence. Let's go back and investigate his background first."
After returning to the police station, they decided to investigate the case all night long.
At this time, another policewoman came over with the information.
"Captain Xu, we've tracked him down. Li Zhong, 40 years old, single, Chinese national, used to sell tea and jade in Myanmar. He only started working as a security guard at Mingjing Building this year."
Yue Xiaofeng: "This is consistent with what Chen Zhiqiang said about the deceased being from the same hometown."
Xu Lin: "There's not much evidence right now. Let's invite Chen Zhiqiang to the police station for questioning tomorrow!"
The next morning, Li Zhong appeared in the interrogation room of the police station.
Li Zhong: "Comrade police officer, my tone yesterday was a bit harsh, but I really don't know that woman. How many times do you want me to tell you before you believe me?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Are you still not going to tell the truth? Everyone in Mingjing Building has seen you and that woman going in and out together, and you're still trying to make excuses?"
Li Zhong: "Even if Mi Joo and I go out together, it doesn't mean anything."
Xu Lin: "Then you admit that you knew the deceased."
Li Zhong: "What... Meizhu... she's dead"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Shouldn't you be very clear about this?"
Li Zhong: "Comrade police officer, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. What do you mean? How do I know she's dead?"
Xu Lin: "Then you dare to say that you really have no knowledge of this matter?"
Li Zhong: "Don't accuse me without any evidence. I swear I really don't know anything."
Xu Lin: "Then go!"
Yue Xiaofeng looked at Xu Lin with a puzzled expression, as if he had a lot to say, but couldn't find the words for the moment.
Li Zhong: "I can really leave now"
Xu Lin: “Let’s go.”
Li Zhonggang took two steps and walked back.
Yue Xiaofeng: "Why don't you want to leave again? Do you want me to drive you?"
Li Zhong: "How dare I ask the police to take me away? I want to go there because I have something to report to you police about Meizhu."
Xu Lin: "You say."
Li Zhong: "She had always told me that she would live with me after divorcing her toxic husband. But six months ago, she started to distance herself from me, blocking me on WeChat and not returning my calls. I thought she was determined to break off relations with me, so I reluctantly stopped contacting her. But I didn't know until you told me today that she was dead."
Yue Xiaofeng: "Why are you still talking about this when the person is dead? Then do you know why she distanced herself from you?"
Li Zhong: "Why else? It's money, of course."
Xu Lin: "I don't understand this. You used to run a tea and jade business. You were a small business owner, so you should have been quite wealthy. How did you end up working as a security guard?"
