Chapter 29 The mystery of the dismembered body: the victim, the perpetrator
The next day, Mu Mian went to work with the small green cake.
Chen Xue was surprised to see the cake in Mu Mian's hand: "Mian Mian, this cake is so beautiful, is it for me?"
Mu Mian was stunned for a moment, and quickly protected the cake behind her. She smiled apologetically: "Chen Xue, I'm sorry, it's not for you. If you like it, I can buy it for you next time."
"Oh. I see, is this cake bought for you by Fang Tui? No wonder it's so precious. Tsk tsk, Mu Mian, I didn't expect you to be a person who values women over friends." Chen Xue came over and teased.
Chen Xue didn't understand! Mu Mian thought Chen Xue's words were strange, and she didn't understand every word.
Mu Mian clarified: "It wasn't bought by Fang Rui, it was given by the owner of the cake shop. However, it was Fang Rui who took me to the cake shop."
"Mian Mian, a lot of people have been gossiping recently. They say you're together with Fang Dui. I see you're always hanging out with Fang Dui lately. You two aren't really together, are you?" Chen Xue's eyes were gleaming with gossip.
Chen Xue found that Mu Mian's eyes rarely stayed on living people. She wasn't interested in most things, but as long as Fang Rui showed up, Mu Mian's eyes would lock on Fang Rui as accurately as radar. After
observing more, Chen Xue found that she had actually found a CP.
The interaction between Mu Mian and Fang Rui was very interesting. Many times, only Fang Rui could understand Mu Mian's train of thought. There was a strange tacit understanding between them. And Fang Rui was particularly patient with Mu Mian.
There was also a policewoman who pursued Fang Rui before, but he acted very coldly, but he always responded to Mu Mian's requests.
Mu Mian nodded and said, "Together? Yes, we are together recently."
"Ah! I guessed right, you are indeed having an affair with Fang Dui."
"Chen Xue, you guessed wrong, Fang Rui and I are not having an affair."
"... Wait, what do you think being together means?"
"Often appearing in the same place, going to and from work at the same time. You and I are often together." Mu Mian opened the cake box, took out a small piece of cake, and put it in a glass container.
Chen Xue suddenly realized that Mu Mian didn't seem to understand what she meant.
"Mu Mian, don't you like Fang Dui?"
Mu Mian turned to look at Chen Xue: "Your question is too vague. It should be followed by a specific description. I should like Fang Rui, and I really want to get his body."
"Body? What do you want his body for?" Chen Xue was stunned.
So, every time Mu Mian looked at Fang Rui with sparkling eyes, was he looking at a corpse? Chen Xue instantly felt some sympathy for Fang Rui.
"Doing research. My previous plan was to slice Fang Rui's brain and preserve it, discarding the remaining tissues and leaving only the skeleton. But now I have changed my mind. I want to soak him in formalin liquid so that his remains will not decay, and I can see him every day..."
"You didn't tell Fang Rui about your plan, did you?"
"Of course not. I was afraid that if I told him, Fang Rui would misunderstand me as a pervert."
"..."Very self-aware!
"Chen Xue, you have a high EQ. Do you know any way to get Fang Rui to donate his body to me voluntarily? It has to be done through legal means. I begged him many times before, but he refused. I hinted at it verbally, but it didn't work."
"Did he just refuse? Didn't he beat you?" Chen Xue didn't expect Mu Mian to actually say that he coveted Fang Rui's body, and he said it many times.
Mu Mian looked a little frustrated: "He told me not to mention it again!"
"Have you ever thought about marrying Fang Rui? Then, when he dies, won't his body be yours?" Chen Xue regretted it after she finished speaking. She might have been infected by Mu Mian, otherwise how could she make such a crazy suggestion.
What was even more heart-broken was Mu Mian's answer:
"Chen Xue, I have thought of this method."
"..."
"But I can't get married."
"Why?"
Mu Mian did not answer this question.
"Then you can improve your favorability in front of Fang Tuan. In this way, he may be willing to donate his body to you." Chen Xue skipped the topic and gave a new suggestion.
How could she BE the CP she just fell in love with?
"Then do you know how to improve your favorability?"
Chen Xue chuckled at her twice, and then forwarded her a lot of documents: "I think these novels are very suitable for you, you can study them carefully."
Mu Mian felt that Chen Xue didn't seem very reliable, but she still promised to read the documents carefully when she was free.
——Fang
Rui and the others spent a long time and finally locked down Liu Jiale's approximate location. He rented a house in the urban village in Dongcheng District.
When Fang Rui was about to bring Liu Jiale back to take a statement, he received a call:
"Captain Fang, it's bad, someone wants to kill Ye Zeling! The murderer has been subdued, but he seems to have some mental problems."
When Fang Rui rushed over, he saw that the female police officer who was protecting Ye Zeling was slashed with a knife, and her entire right hand was blood red. Ye Zeling was not injured, but she seemed to be frightened.
The murderer was pressed to the ground by several enthusiastic citizens.
"Ye Zeling, pay me back! Your brother cheated me of my money, you have to help him pay it back! If you don't pay me back, I will stab you to death!" The gangster was still struggling, staring at Ye Zeling viciously, as if he was going to rush over and stab her to death in the next second.
Xiao Zhang exclaimed, "Boss, isn't this Liu Jiale?"
Liu Jiale looked like a homeless man, with long beard and hair, sloppy appearance, tattered clothes, sunken eyes, and a terrible mental state.
Fang Rui took them all back to the bureau.
Ye Zeling's emotions broke down a little, and she cried, "I don't know why Liu Jiale wants to kill me! I have no conflicts with him, we used to have a good relationship. My brother is so good to him, how could he cheat him of his money? He is just lying!" "
According to our investigation, your brother seems to owe a lot of money. Do you know why he owes money?"
Ye Zeling denied it flatly, "Impossible! My brother can't owe money!" But her tone did not seem very firm.
Fang Rui took another statement from Liu Jiale.
Liu Jiale's mood has stabilized: "Police comrade, I don't want to kill Ye Zeling, I just want to scare her and let her return the money to me. Her brother is dead, and his brother's money is all hers, she should return the money to me!"
"We haven't announced the results of the investigation yet, how can you be so sure that the dead person at the fire scene is him?"
Liu Jiale was stunned for a moment, then replied: "It's said in the news that Ye Zeming is dead, and it also asked us to pay attention to fire safety."
"How much money did Ye Zeming borrow from you, and why did he ask you for money?"
"He got addicted to online gambling half a year ago and lost a lot of money. At first he was able to make ends meet by selling his works, but later his works couldn't be sold and he had no money, so he started to target me. He said that if I gave him all my money, he would let Ze Ling marry me. But he lied to me. Not only did he not return my money, he also let Ze Ling ignore me!"
"Then why did you hide?"
Liu Jiale said innocently: "Hide? I didn't!"
"Why did you lie to your roommate and say you were going to live with your cousin?"
"I wanted to go to the northeast to find my cousin, but I had no money and couldn't get enough money for the plane ticket. I could only rent a house in the urban village and continue to work on my creation. I have been working on a work these days, and I can participate in the competition when it is finished!"
"In that case, why did you suddenly attack Ye Ze Ling instead of focusing on your creation?"
"I saw in the news that Ye Ze Ming also bought accident insurance, so that Ye Ze Ling could get a large sum of compensation, so I asked her for the bill. Who knew that she turned against me and denied it, saying that I splashed dirty water on her brother! I was so angry that I stabbed her with a knife, but I didn't expect to stab someone else."
Fang Rui asked, "You asked her for compensation, why did you carry a knife with you?"
Liu Jiale stopped talking.
"Is Ye Ze Ling your girlfriend?"
"No, I was pursuing her, but she didn't accept my confession. She said she would wait until I became famous before she was willing to be with me. Later I found out that she was lying to me. She didn't like me at all. Because..."
"Because she likes her brother?"
Liu Jiale's eyes suddenly widened: "How did you know?"
"Did you attack Ye Ze Ling in the street because you couldn't accept this fact?"
"No! I just wanted money!" Liu Jiale's fingers kept stroking the cross on his chest. He seemed a little nervous, and his hands trembled slightly.
"Where were you on the day of the fire, which was June 12?"
