Chapter 54: Mystery 14



Wen Qing's thoughts were clear to others. Yang Fan's eyes froze as he looked at him, and the smile on his lips froze for a moment.

Xing Ze's face darkened as he asked in a cold voice, "Mr. Yang, what do you mean?"

Yang Fan reorganized his words and explained to Wen Qing: "It just means what it says."

"My heart skipped a beat when I saw Wen Qing for the first time."

"You could say it is ..." He paused and said with a smile, "It was love at first sight."

Wen Qing was stunned.

This is what you like?

Impossible, there must be a problem.

He doesn't believe it!

Wen Qing looked at Yang Fan warily.

Yang Fan was silent.

Xing Ze sneered and thought, what a bullshit love at first sight, it's clearly just lust at first sight.

After a while, without waiting for Xing Ze to ask, Yang Fan took the initiative to speak: "I met Doctor Ji's son while having breakfast."

"Because I've seen him and Wen Qing together, I paid some attention to him. By chance, I heard him say that Wen Qing would go to Xia Si Hospital for a physical examination, so I thought I'd try my luck."

As he spoke, Yang Fan smiled and said to Xing Ze frankly: "It turns out that I am very lucky."

"Maybe it's because Wen Qing and I are destined to be together."

Wen Qing pursed her lips and refuted in her heart, No.

Xing Ze said to Yang Fan expressionlessly: "You have been married."

"Yes, but I'm divorced now and single," Yang Fan nodded and said calmly, "I'm bisexual."

"So did my ex-wife."

Yang Fan raised his eyelids and looked at Xing Ze quietly and asked, "Any other questions, Officer Xing?"

Xing Ze raised the corner of his mouth and continued to ask: "And the matter about your ex-wife."

Yang Fan's eyes moved slightly and he nodded.

Xing Ze asked directly: "Do you know where your ex-wife is now?"

"We haven't been in touch since the divorce," Yang Fan shook his head and suddenly asked, "Can I ask why you asked about her?"

Xing Ze uttered three words decisively: "No."

Yang Fan still had a gentle smile on his face and continued, "Li Fei is a very charming photographer. She yearns for nature and can stay alone in the wilderness for several months. When she is in high spirits, she will directly book a flight to go abroad, or drive alone to a mountain with no signal."

"When we were married, we probably only saw each other a few times a year."

Xing Ze narrowed his eyes. Yang Fan's words implied that it was normal that he couldn't contact his ex-wife.

Xing Ze tapped his police ID with his fingertips and asked, "Is this the reason for your divorce?"

Yang Fan: “This is part of it.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door opened and we arrived at the first floor.

Yang Fan walked out of the elevator and said to Xing Ze, "Every family has its own problems. The reasons for divorce between couples are very complicated."

"Criminal Officer, what case is involved in my marriage with Li Fei?"

Xing Ze said calmly, "The disappearance of your ex-wife."

Yang Fan paused and turned to look at Xing Ze.

Xing Ze stared at his reaction.

Yang Fan frowned, looking worried: "I will contact her friends and will inform the police if I have any news."

It's a normal reaction for a man who is worried about his ex-wife's safety.

Xing Ze said casually: "Thank you for your help."

"It's not a problem. We are serving the people." Yang Fan smiled.

Looking at his smile, Xing Ze curled up the corners of his mouth. He immediately took out his mobile phone and asked Xiao Chen to check the surveillance footage of Yang Fan's journey out yesterday morning.

Building 1 and Building 2 are adjacent. Yang Fan walked to the path, looked back at Wen Qing, and said loudly, "Goodbye."

Xing Ze looked at his back coldly and said to Wen Qing, "Ji Sheng is right."

Wen Qing looked at him blankly: "What did Ji Sheng say?"

Xing Ze: "He looked at you with lustful eyes."

“A beast in human clothing.”

Wen Qing heard a hint of anger in his tone. Although he didn't understand why Xing Ze was angry, he still nodded in agreement.

While walking on the road, Wen Qing whispered to Xing Ze: "I always feel that he is weird."

Wen Qing couldn't tell what it was specifically, it was just a hunch.

Xing Ze leaned close to his ear and whispered, "He does have a problem."

"It's about his ex-wife."

Wen Qing turned her head to look at him, expecting Xing Ze to explain.

However, Xing Ze pursed his lips and said to him: "I have handled many cases of love murders and couples."

“There’s a gut feeling.”

Wen Qing: “…”

How come you are the same as him?

Wen Qing thought, Xing Ze was like this, so rounding it off, he could be considered a smart person.

When the two arrived at the property office, Xing Ze directly asked the staff to help him retrieve the surveillance footage from this morning, and found a security guard who was familiar with the residents in the community and told him the names, addresses, etc. of the people entering and leaving the building.

The security guard that the staff called was the one in charge of the main gate. Wen Qing had greeted him several times.

The security guard sat down next to Xing Ze, looked at the person on the surveillance camera, and said at a glance: "This is Grandpa Li from Building 3, living on the 10th floor."

“This is…”

Wen Qing and Xing Ze didn't have lunch and ordered two takeouts.

Halfway through the meal, Xing Ze's cell phone rang.

He picked up the phone: "What did you find out?"

"The surveillance showed that Yang Fan's route yesterday was the same as he said. We watched it several times and didn't see any problems."

"The video has been sent to you on WeChat, please take a look first."

Xing Ze responded, hung up the phone, and opened the WeChat video.

The videos of Yang Fan appearing on the streets are all of him walking and jogging normally.

Another video is of Yang Fan sitting in a breakfast shop.

The surveillance clearly showed that when Yang Fan was sitting in the store eating, Ji Sheng and another person in school uniform had just entered the breakfast shop.

Xing Ze watched the video and always felt that something was wrong with it.

It has nothing to do with whether it is true or not, but it seems like he missed something but can't think of it for the time being.

Suddenly, the loud voice of the security guard rang in my ears: "Comrade police, why are Teacher Yang and Doctor Ji's names recorded separately from others?"

Wen Qing's hands trembled because of the security guard's loud voice. He put down his chopsticks and walked over to Xing Ze to take a look.

On Xing Ze's record list, the left side is ordinary residents, and the right side is the key observation targets in the community.

Yang Fan, Ji Yu, Xia Yansi.

Compared with the long list on the left, the list of these three people is obviously very abrupt.

Xing Ze said perfunctorily: "Nothing, just a personal habit."

The security guard looked at him suspiciously.

Xing Ze closed his notebook, tapped the table, and reminded, "Don't interfere with official business."

The security guard realized that this was not his business, and seeing that no one had appeared in the surveillance video, he said to Wen Qing, "Young man, you live on the 12th floor of Building 1, right?"

Wen nodded gently.

The security guard slapped his thigh and said, "Oh, Grandma Zhang lives upstairs from you."

Wen Qing responded. He had never greeted the residents upstairs, but he had bumped into them several times when taking the elevator.

The security guard said cheerfully, "Grandma Zhang's granddaughter is in her third year of high school this year. She will take the college entrance examination soon. Her granddaughter doesn't know what major to choose in college, and she, an old woman, doesn't understand it either. So she asked Teacher Yang to teach her granddaughter and introduce some majors to choose from."

Wen Qing was puzzled: "The college entrance examination hasn't started yet."

Why introduce the major so early?

The security guard said, "Yes, but Grandma Zhang was anxious. She heard from somewhere that the college entrance examination is 30% based on grades and 70% based on the application form, so she hurriedly went to find Teacher Yang."

When a figure appeared on the surveillance camera, the security guard immediately went to work and continued to tell Xing Ze the names and addresses of the people: "This little girl is from Building 5, her name is Jingjing. This short boy is from Building 11, his grandmother calls him Afeng..."

After introducing the people, when the surveillance camera did not show their portraits, he turned the topic back to Yang Fan.

The security guard said earnestly: "Teacher Yang is such a good person. He often helps Grandma Zhang and the other old ladies move things, and he often treats me to fruit."

"There are many good people in our community, such as Teacher Yang, Doctor Ji, and Doctor Xia."

The names reported were all the people on the list, and Wen Qing couldn't help but look at the security guard.

The security guard coughed twice, met Xing Ze's sharp gaze, and said angrily: "Anyway, I don't think any of them would do something like that to kill someone."

Xing Ze twirled his pen and asked, "What other good things has Yang Fan done?"

The security guard blurted out: "Take care of the animals."

"Ever since his cat died, he has been very kind to stray cats in the neighborhood, often feeding them meat. I once fed them as well, and wow, those cats ate so deliciously."

"The people in our community are more loving than each other."

Wen Qing asked curiously, "When did his cat die?"

The security guard calculated the date and said, "About half a year ago. I think he had a quarrel with his wife because of this matter, and they divorced not long after."

This time...is exactly when the disappearances started.

Wen Qing looked at Xing Ze.

Xing Ze looked serious and asked the security guard, "Do you know why they got divorced?"

"How would I know?" The security guard shook his head and said, "Mr. Yang's wife is rarely home. I think divorce is normal."

"I knew they had a big fight over the cat. The soundproofing in the neighborhood is not good, so the neighbors heard it."

Wen Qing asked: "Then do you know how the cat died?

The security guard said: "Cats love to jump around. It seems I didn't watch them closely and they bumped into a knife in the kitchen."

Wen Qing was stunned. Shouldn't the knives in the kitchen be put away?

Xing Ze asked some more questions about Yang Fan, and the security guard praised him as he spoke.

The last time Wen Qing heard him praise someone like this was when he was praising Ji Yu's family.

It was not until it got dark that Wen Qing and Xing Ze left the property.

Surveillance footage showed that the only people under observation who entered and left Building 2 today were Yang Fan, Ji Yu and Xia Yansi.

Ji Yu and Xia Yansi are residents of Building 2, so Yang Fan from Building 1 is quite suspicious in comparison.

When they returned to the 12th floor and the elevator door opened, Wen Qing saw a man in black clothes and carrying a bag standing at the door of his house.

His heart tightened, but he breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the man's face clearly. It was Policeman Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen smiled at the two of them and patted his bag: "Team Xing, I brought the stuff."

Wen Qing was at a loss: "What guy?"

Xing Ze stepped forward to open the door and explained: "Wireless signal detector, check monitoring, wiretapping and other things."

Wen Qing was stunned.

Xing Ze tilted his head to look at him and continued, "Didn't you say that you always felt that someone had entered the house, and that person knew your whereabouts?"

"Check them all first."

Wen Qing nodded obediently and looked at Xing Ze's well-defined profile.

Xing Ze and Ji Yu actually have some similarities in appearance, but it’s not the facial features that are similar, but rather an indescribable temperament.

But what he did was different from Ji Yu and Xia Yansi.

Seeing Wen Qing staring at him, Xing Ze's cheeks became hot and he cleared his throat: "What's wrong?"

Wen Qing said truthfully: "I think you are very good."

He curved his lips and explained, "Uncle Ji and Uncle Xia knew about this and said that I might be under too much pressure and it might be a psychological effect."

But Xing Ze asked someone to check the house.

Xiao Chen, who was eavesdropping on the side, was testing it while muttering: "What kind of uncle is this..."

The only thing in Xing Ze's mind was Wen Qing's first sentence.

Feel good about yourself.

good……

"How good?"

Wen Qing's limited vocabulary could not describe his inner feelings at the moment. After thinking for a while, he said dryly, "If I were a girl, I would want to marry you."

Xing Ze's head buzzed and a heat surged to the top of his head.

Is this sentence a confession?

Could it be that Wen Qing likes him?

This... this is not impossible.

Xing Ze took a step forward stiffly and opened his mouth, but before he could utter the first word, Xiao Chen coughed forcefully twice.

Xiao Chen: "There are still people here."

Wen Qing looked at him blankly, then looked at Xing Ze, not understanding what Xiao Chen meant.

After hesitating for a moment, he tentatively said to Xiao Chen: "Shall I get you a bottle of drink?"

Xiao Chen thanked him: "Okay, okay, I'm thirsty."

Xiao Chen spent two hours checking every corner of the house, even the toilet.

Clean and tidy.

There is no equipment in the house.

Xiao Chen said, "This is the latest model of detector. It can't be wrong."

Xing Ze frowned. If there were no monitoring or surveillance equipment, there was only one reason left - the sound insulation of this building was too poor, and anyone with interest could easily hear what they wanted to hear.

He turned to Xiao Chen and said, "Go copy the surveillance footage of this building."

"Verify whether Yang Fan came in during the time when Wen Qing received the text message."

Xiao Chen nodded, turned and left.

Too many things happened today. Wen Qing was exhausted both physically and mentally, and dozed off on the sofa while waiting.

After hearing the door close, he opened his eyes drowsily, yawned and said, "I'm going to take a shower and go to bed."

Xing Ze wanted to continue the previous topic, but when he saw the sleepiness on Wen Qing's face, he had to give up.

"Well, go to bed early."

Wen Qing walked into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and was about to take off her clothes when she slowly remembered that she had not brought any spare clothes.

He turned and took a step, and suddenly, the cell phone in his pocket vibrated.

Wen Qing took out his cell phone and saw the message content displayed in the middle of the screen.

[It’s getting late, are you taking a shower? ]

It's an unfamiliar number.

Wen Qing suddenly woke up from his sleep. He ran out of the bedroom in his slippers and rushed into Xing Ze's room.

There was no one in the bedroom, but there was some faint noise coming from the bathroom.

Wen Qing pushed the door open and said in panic, "He, he texted again."

Xing Ze had just taken off his shirt and was about to take a shower.

Hearing Wen Qing's words, he immediately took the phone.

Glancing at the content of the text message, Xing Ze's face turned cold.

Wen Qing asked nervously, "Do you want to block me?"

Xing Ze glanced at the number. It was different from the one this morning.

That person changed his number again.

"I'll take care of it."

Xing Ze lowered his head and just typed a word when a new message popped up on the text message interface.

[You smell so good, I want to fuck you every time I smell it. ]

Xing Ze had no expression on his face: [He is asleep, what’s wrong? ]
