Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 944 The case is more complicated
"Just ask if you can be a little more reliable~"

Qin Jingru was cleaning the kitchen angrily, muttering to herself about the two people who came home late.

"Even if something happens, there's always time to call home~"

"I'm going to take a shower."

Han Jiankun is really good at explaining. His wife clearly said that he came back late because of something, but he was not afraid of making a big deal and insisted that he went to take a shower.

"I dare you!"

Qin Jingru brought out a pot of braised pork and placed it on the table. She glared at Han Jiankun and said, "You guys went out to have fun, leaving us mothers at home to worry and fear, right?"

Han Jiankun glanced at the pot of braised pork, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching, and he lowered his head without saying a word.

He didn't care about his wife's nagging, this wasn't meant for him!

He is a driver and has to listen to his boss wherever he goes. He will not take the blame for this.

Li Xuewu could tell there was something behind her words, but he didn't care. He was not the boss at home now, Gu Ning was.

As Gu Ning's belly grew bigger and it became more and more inconvenient for her to move, Qin Jingru became more and more cautious.

Every day when I come back from here, I would remind Li Xuewu not to sleep too deeply at night, and Gu Ning to take care of him when he gets up at night.

Due to the body structure of pregnant women, the larger the fetus grows, the more frequently they will go to the toilet.

Although Qin Jingru just got married and has not given birth to a child yet, she is very familiar with the work of taking care of pregnant women, as her family has always had children since she was a child.

In addition to Liu Yin's instructions when she returned to the Siheyuan a few months ago, as well as the arrangements made by the old lady when she was here, she paid special attention to diet, nutrition, sleep and rest.

Therefore, Li Xuewu, who often challenged this rule, became Qin Jingru's target of vigilance.

"Why do you think of stew?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the pot of braised pork in surprise.

Even though the family lived a good life, there were not many opportunities to eat stewed meat. It was not because there was not enough meat at home, but because Qin Jingru herself could not bear to eat it.

"Sister Xiao Ning wants to eat"

Qin Jingru stood aside with a helpless expression and said, "I was mumbling about wanting to eat it in the afternoon, but when I made it in the evening, I only ate two bites."

"Eat~"

As she was speaking, she found that two people were looking at her.

"Why are you looking at me? There's roasted pork on my face. Eat quickly so I can wash the dishes. I've been busy all day~".

Seeing Qin Jingru go to the living room to coax the child, Li Xuewu and Han Jiankun looked at each other, and their eyes were both on the barbecue.

"Jiankun, eat meat"

"Leader, please eat"

"You're welcome~Eat~Eat, eat more"

"You eat~You eat, you eat too~"

……

Li Xuewu hates corpses the most. His gentle and literary temperament is not suitable for handling such cases.

I watched that thing in the afternoon, and when I got home in the evening I saw that it was braised pork. It was so disgusting!

Just like that, he and Han Jiankun only finished half a pot of braised pork.
Well, I didn’t eat much.

Han Jiankun used the remaining broth to dip his steamed buns and ate them. It was clean and he didn't even need to wash the basin.

Qin Jingru came in and took a look. Wow, it was a good thing that she only made one pot. If she had made less, she would have eaten the pot.

The mutual courtesy just now had nothing to do with what happened in the afternoon. It was simply because it is not easy to eat meat in this era.

what?
nausea?

You haven't seen anything more disgusting. It's still okay in the trenches in winter, but if it's summer, the smell is amazing.

Especially in the rainforest areas, when canned food is distributed on the front line, just listen.

The new recruits in the next trench made a "hit" sound, while the old soldiers on this side made a "tululu" sound without paying any attention.

The broken limbs on the ground were really a nuisance, so I picked them up and threw them away, wiped my hands on my pants and continued eating.

The main idea is you spit your food and I eat mine, no one should disturb anyone else.

Don't eat?

You're just hungry, and are you waiting for the squad leader to come over and persuade you to eat with sweet words like he's coaxing a child?
Well, just wait, when the big flying kick comes up and kicks you until you cry like a child, then you will know that you have eaten.

Li Xuewu never needed anyone to persuade him to eat. After he joined the army, he was so hungry during those years at home. When he was twelve, thirteen or four years old, he would eat at eleven o'clock in the morning, and he would be hungry at half past twelve at noon.

Li Shun's salary is high enough, right? He earned quite a bit when he first started working, but he didn't buy many things for the family, as it all went into feeding his children.

While other children were crying with hunger, the four children of the Li family grew taller and even had fat on their faces.

In the past, neighbors were jealous of the Li family’s children, saying that Li Shun was not a doctor at a traditional Chinese medicine hospital, but a pig farmer.

Li Xuewu ate well and grew up well when he was a child. His family provided him with enough food, but he was always running around to play, leaving no food in his stomach.

At this time, children are worthless, and people are worthless too. Anyway, whatever grows on the ground, flies in the sky, or swims in the river, as long as others don’t kill themselves by eating it, everyone will follow suit.

Once he joined the army and started formal training, this big guy Li Xuewu became able to eat even more.

He developed a habit of eating in a hurry at that time. Others might be full after eating three large steamed buns, but he had to eat six, but it took him the same amount of time.

So when it comes to braised pork or dry rice, no problem is a problem.

Not to mention him, even those old cadres and teachers who went down to work, who used to look gentle, found themselves hiding in toilets in the middle of the night to eat stolen radishes after arriving in the countryside.

When they are not hungry, they are all tough and strong. But when they are really hungry, they will let you call them grandpa without any hesitation, or even ancestor, if you are given a bite to eat.

We cannot compare life in the city with life in the countryside, and we cannot compare the life of dual-income cadres with that of ordinary people.

The problem of food and clothing had not been solved at the beginning of the 21st century. Just think about it, this era was like this. Yin Mancang called him and told him that half of the people in the next village were gone.

Don’t ask where all the people have gone. The answer is that it’s due to natural disasters and man-made disasters that five out of ten houses are empty.

It is rare to see city people, so go to the countryside and walk around. Some place names are called Wangjia Village, Lijia Village, and Zhaojia Village. Most of these names were changed in the 1950s.

But ask how many people in the village are left with the surname Wang, Li, or Zhao. If there are not many left, that is basically the reason.

It is wrong to be rich even if you are a farmer. The land in your family was saved by your ancestors through frugality, so you are also a landlord.

If there are many surnames left in the village, you can ask the elders whether their ancestors really had this surname, and the answers will be different.

In the face of death, changing one's surname may be a condition and instinct for survival, as if one's ancestors didn't care about one's food.

A man with the surname Zhang moved into Lijia Village. Everyone in the village has the surname Li. If you have the surname Zhang, you are asking for trouble.

You don't have to look far to find such a person. Just ask around the capital and you will definitely find him.
-
As December approaches, especially after mid-December, the weather becomes freezing cold.

"Gaga" is not an adjective but an onomatopeia. When you break many things, they will make a "ga, ga" sound.

All the soft ones are frozen hard, and all the hard ones are frozen into pieces.

Li Xuewu is used to wearing a jacket and a tweed coat on the outside when he goes to work. After all, he spends more time in the office and less time going out.

But with the experience of going to the scene yesterday, and the fact that this case seemed like it would take more than a day or two to complete, I quickly took out my cotton coat when I left the house.

Han Jiankun was also a fool who watched the people next door during the New Year. Seeing Li Xuewu preparing a cotton coat, he also searched for one there.

To be clear about the warehouse on the basement floor, Li Xuewu definitely didn't know as much as the couple did, because they were the ones who packed and stored the things.

On the 16th, Li Xuewu first went to the factory to work for a while, and then reported to Li Huaide about his assistance in the case.

Li Huaide supported it, but he also asked Li Xuewu not to give up his work in the factory.

Li Xuewu guaranteed that he would definitely not delay the work here and would focus on the work in the factory.

Li Huaide understood the debt of favor. It was unclear who owed whom. They all moved around in the Dongcheng circle, and they would meet each other every day. This could not be stopped.

After leaving the factory, he rushed to the headquarters of the Wei San Regiment to hold a meeting and deal with some documents at the same time.

Before I could finish my work, the police station called me.

Li Xuewu knows handling cases very well. As long as he has a case in his hands, he will never have a moment to rest.

He is now receiving two salaries, and he has to coordinate with both units, otherwise it would be considered as doing private work.

Zheng Fuhua also said yesterday that this has been agreed by the ministry, and a coordination letter will be sent down after the case is confirmed later.

If the investigation takes a long time, those who deserve subsidies should be given, and those who need to hire people should be given personnel letters. No one can take leave at will.

When Li Xuewu received the call and rushed to the police station, everyone in the conference room was waiting there.

The case analysis meeting first reconfirmed the investigation team of the case, which was to be headed by Zheng Fuhua and hosted by Lai Shanchuan, with Li Xuewu newly added to be responsible for assisting in the handling of the case.

There was a bracket after Li Xuewu's "assisting in handling" which contained "interrogation and guidance".

The meaning is very clear, he is not the main organizer and his working hours are flexible and adjustable.

The fact that today's meeting is waiting for him speaks volumes.

Of course, don’t think too highly of yourself. This is a very normal phenomenon at work, and it is not a good thing for Li Xuewu.

They value you so much and respect you so much, but if you don’t show your real skills and achievements, you will be ashamed without anyone telling you.

"The conclusion given by the forensic doctor"

A clerk helped Li Xuewu organize the information and handed it to him. Lai Shanchuan, who presided over the seminar, introduced: "Zhang Shuqin should have died two months ago, most likely on the 29th."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows slightly and continued to look at the materials in his hand. He didn't understand the previous arguments, but the conclusion was vague.

After all, the time is too long, two months, and it is a season with greater climate changes, so the exact time cannot be determined.

"Tell me why"

Zheng Fuhua raised his hand, motioned to Lai Shanchuan and said: "Also tell us about the condition of the deceased."

"Ok"

Lai Shanchuan opened the notebook in his hand, looked at Zheng Fuhua and reported: "According to the investigation results, Zhang Shuqin left with her colleagues after withdrawing the money. Someone in the credit union can prove this."

"Zhang Shuqin's colleagues confirmed that the two separated on the road in front of Wangfujing Shopping Center."

He reported here, looked at the notes in his hand, and spoke again: "The investigation of his colleagues in the supply and marketing cooperative showed that he had receipts for shopping in the mall."

"There's a witness, right?"

Zheng Fuhua pointed at the table, as a reminder to himself and Li Xuewu.

"I remember that it was treated as a theft case and all the relevant personnel were investigated."

“Yes, there are witnesses from the mall.”

Lai Shanchuan confirmed: "According to the results of the investigation at that time, when she bought the leather shoes, she told the salesperson that she was also a salesperson because of the price. This is very clear."

"Although the salesperson's statement and related counter receipts show that she purchased the goods alone, they cannot prove when the two separated."

"So we need to first confirm whether the salesperson at this supply and marketing cooperative is lying!"

Zheng Fuhua tapped the table with his fingers, looked at Li Xuewu and said, "Your psychological skills will be tested in a moment."

"Psychology is not omnipotent, nor is it a lie detector"

Li Xuewu smiled helplessly and said, "Let's make a comprehensive judgment. Director Lai, please continue speaking."

“I have my doubts too.”

Lai Shanchuan frowned and said, "I was wondering if I could find some clues from her."

At this point, he shook his head again and said, "Now that the body has appeared in the goldfish pond, unless she was involved in a gang crime, she would not have had time to commit the crime alone."

As he spoke, he took out the case file and said, "We have done experiments and comparative investigations. The two people separated at 2:11 in the afternoon, and the approximate meeting time given by the counter clerk was around 2:30."

"Based on the time she spent purchasing the tickets and the time it took her to return home and meet her acquaintances, she had no time at all to commit the crime."

“This is the result of our experiment.”

Lai Shanchuan took out a document and pushed it in front of Li Xuewu, indicating that he could take a look.

"From the credit union, it is 2.6 kilometers to Wangfujing Shopping Center, which takes to minutes by bike."

"Assuming that the two separated in Wangfujing, if Zhang Shuqin rode by herself, then the time she spent at the goldfish pond and at home would be exactly half."

“There is basically a branch line from Wangfujing Shopping Mall to Goldfish Pond, which is 2.3 kilometers long and only takes to minutes to get there.”

"The distance from Wangfujing Shopping Mall to the deceased's home in Qianer Hutong is 5.5 kilometers, which takes about half an hour to ride."

“It’s very special right here”

Lai Shanchuan widened his eyes and said: "If we look at the recent cycling distance, that is, Zhang Shuqin's daily commute to and from get off work, she is only a few steps away from the goldfish pond at the turning point of Zhushikou East Street."

"Now I don't understand. She took out the money and said she was going shopping with her colleagues. That's understandable."

"Now she is involved in a fraud of 45,000 yuan, and she is taking her colleagues with her. This is why we suspect she absconded with the money."

"But now she's dead in the goldfish pond. What was she doing there?!"

"She was leaving by train, so she rode too far!"

“Well, that’s the key point.”

Zheng Fuhua frowned and nodded, "If we follow this conjecture, then starting from the time she separated from Wangfujing and acted alone, is she alive or dead during the distance to the goldfish pond?"

The system and management of this era are flawed. On the one hand, there is no electronic office and no trace can be traced; on the other hand, there is no monitoring to conduct investigations on a per-person basis.

Therefore, as shown in the case file, the accountant and cashier of the credit union are the same person, and the cashier of the supply and marketing cooperative can take the cash for goods by himself and go shopping.

Li Xuewu paid special attention to whether someone would take advantage of the loophole, so he read the environmental investigation in the case file very carefully.

Especially the key point of this case is how the 50,000 yuan disappeared.

The survey on the management environment of credit unions shows that the establishment and system of credit unions can be divided into two main stages.

The first stage was from the early days of liberation to 1958, a period when credit unions were widely established and developed rapidly.

At that time, according to the instructions of the higher organizations to implement the collectivization policy, the "three major cooperations" were implemented in rural areas across the country, namely: production cooperatives, supply and marketing cooperatives, and credit cooperatives.

Although the credit cooperatives at that time developed from the small peasant economy and were relatively small in scale and had a low level of management, the development of my country's credit cooperative business started from there.

The second stage is from 1958 to the present, during which credit unions experienced management twists and turns and adjustments.

At this time, the entire national economic system has changed under the influence of special guidelines and special policies.

In particular, credit cooperatives were the hardest hit and experienced the greatest changes.

Especially this year, the port management of rural credit cooperatives has been handed over to communes and brigades, and the management of powers and personnel systems is very irregular.

Because they are within the same cooperative system, part of the supply and marketing cooperative’s goods funds are deposited in the credit union.

Li Xuewu felt both confused and helpless when he looked at the management loopholes in the data.

There is no need to be surprised. In this era, many management systems are not standardized and rely entirely on self-consciousness and moral qualities to constrain them.

You know what, except for some special cases, this kind of moral constraints is quite high, even higher than the law.

You will understand if you look at the management models of later generations. Why are they all lessons learned from blood and a bunch of seemingly stupid operating systems? In fact, they are determined by the backward system norms formulation model.

Only after something happened did they realize to plug the loophole. The loss was not big and the plugging was not comprehensive. It was as if a loophole was deliberately left there for those clever criminals to use.

Just ask whether the same person can hold both the positions of accountant and cashier, and whether a cashier can take public funds when going shopping. No one had learned a lesson on this issue since the late 1990s.

After listening to Lai Shanchuan's report, Li Xuewu closed the materials in his hand, looked at Lai Shanchuan and asked, "Have you found the deceased's bicycle?"

"what?"

Lai Shanchuan was stunned by his question, and then looked at the head of the criminal team sitting at the table.

"We have looked for her. When we were looking for Zhang Shuqin at the time of the incident, we investigated how the deceased disappeared and paid attention to the bicycle."

The head of the criminal team frowned and said, "But nothing was found. It's as if they disappeared along with the deceased."

"At the time, we were also wondering if it had been discarded along the way or hidden somewhere."

He said with some doubt: "Since the dead body was found yesterday, we have also been considering this question, whether it was in the goldfish pond."

"Is there any result?"

Zheng Fuhua raised his head slightly and said, "Did anyone stay at the goldfish pond yesterday?"

"Yes, there are people on duty."

The head of the security team nodded and continued, "We have arranged people to monitor and control the situation. Someone did sneak onto the ice last night, but we didn't find anything."

"Don't be careless"

Zheng Fuhua frowned slightly and said: "We must be on guard against secondary hiding, this situation is possible."

"I found a clue and was worried that someone was watching me, so I marked and hid it."

Lai Shanchuan explained to the head of the security team: "Director Zheng's meaning is to ensure that their suspicious behavior is monitored without alerting the enemy."

"This one……"

The head of the security team hesitated and said: "It's okay during the day, but it's not very clear at night when there is moonlight."

"If there is no moon, we can only rely on manpower control and supervision. There is no other way."

"No, someone is watching, so this trick won't work."

Zheng Fuhua frowned and knocked on the table, then turned his gaze to Li Xuewu.

Li Xuewu was slightly stunned, then he smiled and said, "This place is so close to the headquarters of the Third Regiment of Wei, it's just a matter of making a phone call."

"It's not as convenient for me to call you directly."

Zheng Fuhua pointed at Li Xuewu and said to the head of the security team: "Ask Li Tuan to borrow an infrared night vision goggles. Maybe that thing can be useful."

"Li Tuan..."

The head of the security team stood up and was about to salute Li Xuewu, but was interrupted by the other party raising his hand.

Li Xuewu waved his hand to signal him to sit down and talk, nodded and said: "I'll call you later, you go and get it."

"I've used that thing before. The battery alone weighs 29 kilograms. It's so tiring to carry it."

"It's like a searchlight mounted on a gun. We take it off and use it. Large targets like tanks can be seen from a kilometer away."

Li Xuewu explained to the other party: "If you want to photograph people, three hundred meters is the limit. I think you have to keep watch close by, so about one hundred meters is more appropriate."

"It's better to have it than not to have it!"

The head of the security team grinned and said: "This 'night vision eye' is better than our eyes. At worst, we can dig a cellar and crawl into it to monitor it. It's just a little cold."

"Think of a way to overcome it"

Lai Shanchuan nodded and said: "Let's do it this way for now and see how the situation develops."

The infrared night vision goggles that Zheng Fuhua and Li Xuewu mentioned are not high-tech. The Germans used them during World War II.

What we are using now was copied from the spoils of war captured during the Anti-Japanese War, and it was successfully developed by the Jicheng Institute of Optics and Mechanics in 1958.

Li Xuewu's role was reflected for the first time in the case. Although it was not a critical point, everyone still looked at him with respect.

"Tell me about the case."

Zheng Fuhua asked Li Xuewu: "What do you think?"

“I still think there are many suspicious points.”

Li Xuewu shook his head slightly and said: "From the current materials and results, it is confirmed that Zhang Shuqin committed homicide, and the trigger was most likely this money."

"It is very likely that the murderer took her identity card and wrote letters to various places to confuse you."

“The reason is very simple.”

Li Xuewu looked at Lai Shanchuan and said, "Because you have found out her social connections, you may have triggered the first fuse of this case."

"It's... premeditated murder..."

Lai Shanchuan was shocked for a moment, then he thought about it and it seemed to be the case. Before this, they had always judged the case as a crime of passion.

It's very simple. From this perspective, it is most likely a robbery and murder case.

But if we follow Li Xuewu's line of thought, it would become a premeditated murder case.

The difference between the two is huge, and they are completely different ways of handling cases.

“I am also doing hypothetical analysis.”

Li Xuewu saw the surprise of Lai Shanchuan and others, and explained: "First of all, Zhang Shuqin should not be prepared to run away with the money. You should be clear about this."

“Yes, I suspected it before.”

Lai Shanchuan nodded and said, "At first we suspected that Zhang Shuqin had committed fraud and absconded, but we could not find any channels or traces of her departure."

"Then we suspected that something might have happened to Zhang Shuqin. She was either killed by her accomplices or by someone who was greedy for money."

"But the appearance of the letter disrupted our vision and thinking, and with the added pressure... we were back to square one, pursuing the case as a fraud and absconding case."

“Well, now that I think about it, there is indeed a problem.”

He frowned and thought, then nodded and said, "Zhang Shuqin didn't tell her husband, and didn't pack up the valuables in the house. Even her ID card is at home. There is definitely something wrong."

"Also, according to this survey, even if you use public funds to go shopping in a mall, your motivation is normal."

Li Xuewu pointed at the documents and reminded: "Her sudden separation from her colleagues in front of the mall is questionable and suspicious. Have you investigated?"

"Have"

The head of the criminal team said: "We have asked the deceased's colleagues, she left directly on her bicycle and did not stay in front of the mall."

"That's strange, where did she go?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said, "She clearly knew that she had public funds in her hands, and she also had money obtained through fraud, so what was she going to do?"

“Think in a normal way”

Lai Shanchuan nodded his head and said, "She should take the money and run away. Since she has called her colleagues to come along, she should transfer the danger to them."

"I think so too"

Li Xuewu frowned and said: "All the clues show that there are many problems. A premeditated fraudster would definitely prepare a way out for himself."

“So, now there are three directions.”

Li Xuewu looked at Zheng Fuhua and said: "One is to determine whether Zhang Shuqin committed fraud, whether she took the money, and who has come into contact with the money."

"The second is to investigate Zhang Shuqin's social relations, including her lover, to see if there are accomplices who assisted her in the murder."

"The third is to investigate the cause of her death, trace her personal belongings and bicycle, and trace the murderer's methods and habits."

"We also need to trace the tools used in the crime and the primary crime scene to see if a robbery has occurred. We cannot be careless about this."

"Correct!"

Lai Shanchuan added: "Check whether the deceased had any motive for fraud and what he was going to do with the money. It was definitely not going to Hong Kong City!"

"If we rule out the possibility of murder in the heat of the moment, it is possible that they had an accomplice as a fallback, were worried about the plan being exposed, did not take their ID, and maintained normal life and work habits."

"It's even possible that the death did not take place on the 29th. If that's the case, this case will be in big trouble."

"Um"

Zheng Fuhua nodded and said, "That makes sense. Although the third direction is very unlikely, we can't be careless."

"Then check. Check her social relationships, the money transfers and receipts at the credit union, and the cause of death."

"so"

He pointed in the direction of Li Xuewu and instructed Lai Shanchuan: "Anything involving the re-investigation of the transcripts, please ask Comrade Xuewu to help take a look and check it."

"Ok, no problem"

Lai Shanchuan was now in high spirits because his analysis of the case had been very successful and he had a new direction for the investigation.

"We will have to re-interrogate Yu Lanfang later, and also ask the relevant personnel from the supply and marketing cooperative and the credit union to come investigate. It's a good opportunity to ask Li Tuan for help."

"That's it, split up into several groups and start the action"

Zheng Fuhua closed the notebook in front of him, looked at the time on his hand, and said to Li Xuewu: "You have to work and eat lunch."

After that, he smiled and said to Lai Shanchuan: "Li Tuan doesn't like the cooking skills of our kitchen chef. Tell Chef Zhang to prepare more hard dishes."

"Forget it, just eat whatever is available."

Li Xuewu waved his hand to stop Lai Shanchuan, turned to Zheng Fuhua and said, "I haven't eaten food that tastes like gasoline for a long time, I miss it."

"Hahahaha~"

Lai Shanchuan and others laughed loudly and said, "This is the branch's specialty dish. If it's delicious, you can come back for more. So please call us in our restaurant and come back again."

"..."

After listening to his explanation, Li Xuewu curled his lips and said, "What a waste of such a nice name."
-
"Why are you here?"

After lunch in the afternoon, Li Xuewu first followed Lai Shanchuan to ask Yu Lanfang again.

It was also the first time he met the people directly involved in this case.

Yu Lanfang, an opera actor, is the mainstay of the drama troupe and plays the role of an old man.

According to Lai Shanchuan, Yu Lanfang is no ordinary person. She is the adopted son of Peking Opera master Mr. Ma, a disciple of Mr. Tan, and someone who has been specially mentored by Mr. Li.

So when they met, Li Xuewu felt that the other party was not treated with any care.

Peking Opera masters used to be prominent figures who could not be easily provoked, but now they are worthless.

If the master is worthless, then the disciple means nothing, especially when it involves a fraud case.

Of course, if you say that I suffered physically, it is basically unlikely. Even if there was a project before, it would not be too severe.

But it seems that this person's mental state is not very good. He must have suffered a lot. Professional interrogation intensity is very damaging to the spirit.

However, judging from the way he sat and talked, he was also an educated man. He spoke clearly and his face was a little melancholy, but still calm.

However, when Lai Shanchuan told him about the situation of his lover Zhang Shuqin, he lost control of his emotions.

But Li Xuewu did not find anything suspicious, even though his title as a master of psychology was fucking fake.

Not finding any suspicious points doesn't mean that he has no problems. Actors are always good at hiding their emotions and inner fluctuations. Li Xuewu doesn't trust anyone.

So he cried as he pleased, and neither of them wasted any time and continued asking questions.

When they came out of the interrogation room, Lai Shanchuan could see Li Xuewu's frown and knew that he had gained nothing, so he could only continue to question other people.

As soon as he entered the office, Li Xuewu saw Lin Tingting sitting on a chair, which made him feel surprised.

Lin Tingting was sitting there in a daze. When she heard someone entering the room, she looked over here. When she saw Li Xuewu, her eyes widened in surprise.

Lai Shanchuan also looked at her in surprise, then looked at Li Xuewu and asked, "Do you know this person too?"

He asked this and added the word "also" because he also knew Li Xuewu, the person who found the body yesterday, and this Fortress is really too small.

"Yes, that Director Lai"

Li Xuewu curled the corner of his mouth, turned his back and said to Lai Shanchuan: "I'm afraid I have to avoid this case."

"why?"

Lai Shanchuan raised his eyebrows, pointed to the woman sitting in the room, and asked softly, "Your relative?"

"Previously involved"

Li Xuewu is a grown man and has a working relationship with Lai Shanchuan, so there is nothing to be embarrassed about saying this.

Especially when it comes to cases, you must be clear when applying for recusation, otherwise you will be implicated if problems arise.

He is here to help, not to be a troublemaker. Who knows how many people will be involved in this case.

Even if there was nothing wrong, he would not want to draw the attention of the investigation to himself.

Seeing Li Xuewu was about to leave, Lai Shanchuan grabbed him and said, "Don't talk to me about this. As long as she's not your wife or your relative, it doesn't matter if you avoid her!"

As he spoke, he pulled Li Xuewu into the house and said, "We finally have some light on this case. If I let you go, Director Zheng will scold me to death!"

“That’s not the case.”

Li Xuewu waved his hands and said, "I really didn't know she was involved in the case. If I had known, I would have..."

"No use, I'm in charge of this case"

Lai Shanchuan is not stupid. Even if it is a relationship between a man and a woman, he doesn't believe that Li Xuewu would break the law for such a relationship.

If he really wanted to use his connections to help the other party, he wouldn't have to handle the case personally.

Besides, this woman is just a suspect, but she is a very, very minor one. If her background check had not failed, she would not be sitting here.

"I will talk to Director Zheng about this matter later. Just stay with me on the case and don't go anywhere."

Just like he said just now, Li Xuewu is a very intelligent man. The case has finally made some progress, so how can we let him get away?

As he spoke, he pushed Li Xuewu onto the chair and said to the stunned Lin Tingting: "Since you and Li Tuan are old acquaintances, our conversation will be much simpler."

"Please help us investigate the case as much as possible and tell us all the relevant issues you know."

Lai Shanchuan sat next to Li Xuewu and gestured to Lin Tingting: "Li Tuan is here. He is the case-handling expert we invited. Help me, help him, and help yourself."

"I……"

Lin Tingting moved her gaze from Li Xuewu to Lai Shanchuan and said, "I have told you everything I know. All the issues concerning me have been investigated clearly."

“Something new has emerged”

Lai Shanchuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Zhang Shuqin is dead."

"What?!"

Li Xuewu could clearly see Lin Tingting's surprise, and her expression did not seem fake at this moment.

"How...how could it be...that this happened..."

“That’s how it is”

Lai Shanchuan pursed his lips with some regret and said, "We have worked for two months in vain."

"She died two months ago, very close to the day of the crime, which was the last time you saw her."

"The last time..."

The purpose of Lai Shanchuan's words was to let her go back to that point in time and re-examine whether she had lost the key.

Lin Tingting pinched her fingers awkwardly, frowning as she thought. The news of Zhang Shuqin's death brought her great pain.

She was not only thinking about what happened when they last saw each other, but also about why Zhang Shuqin died.

Over the past few months, it seemed like a foregone conclusion that Zhang Shuqin had defrauded and absconded with the money, and the investigation into her case had cleared her of all charges.

Unexpectedly, things took another turn. The fraud case turned into a case of absconding with money, and now it has become a murder case.

"Tell me what happened again."

Seeing that she couldn't figure it out and sweat all over her forehead, Li Xuewu tapped the table to remind her to follow the map and start over.

Lin Tingting looked up at Li Xuewu and nodded, "I only had a half-day shift that day, and I decided to go to Wangfujing to find the pair of leather shoes I liked..."

The situation was very simple. She was not Zhang Shuqin's partner in withdrawing money, and her actions on that day had nothing to do with the money.

Otherwise, when Li Xuewu was in a meeting upstairs and grinning while looking at the environmental survey materials, the cashier could perform the withdrawal operation alone.

The two of them had lunch at the supply and marketing cooperative, and then rode their bikes to the credit union together. She waited outside for Zhang Shuqin to get the money, and then they rode together to Wangfujing.

Lin Tingting recalled carefully that when they both arrived at the entrance of Wangfujing, Zhang Shuqin suddenly stopped her and said she had to leave for something.

We had originally agreed to go shopping in the mall together and go back together. Lin Tingting's home was near the supply and marketing cooperative, so it was convenient for us to go there.

But she didn't care about Zhang Shuqin's sudden announcement of leaving, thinking that she was going back to work, and went shopping in the mall without even asking.

“That’s all I know.”

Lin Tingting looked at Li Xuewu and Lai Shanchuan, and said with a trembling voice: "This matter really has nothing to do with me."

"I ask the questions, you answer them"

Li Xuewu looked into her eyes and tapped his finger, reminding her to look at him.

"it is good"

Lin Tingting looked at this familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Out of trust in Li Xuewu, she forced herself to remain calm and listened to his questions.

"How did you determine the time of separation from Zhang Shuqin?"

Li Xuewu pointed to the investigation data on the case file and asked, "It says it's accurate to the minute."

"Watch, I have a watch"

Lin Tingting hesitated for a moment, but then lowered her head, rolled up her sleeves, and revealed the watch inside.

Li Xuewu took a look and nodded. He still remembered this watch. It was a wedding gift he gave to the other party.

At that time he didn't have a watch ticket, and it was Lao Biaozi who helped him find it.

Things have changed, but the person is still the same person, but there is a table between the two of them. This table is very wide...
