Riverside police

Send Wei Zhi and others away and quickly go to the cafeteria to eat in order to continue the investigation.

Han Yu walked to the round table with the prepared rice and asked: "Xiao Chen, where are Cao Chengguo and Guan Chaohong?"

"Cao Chengguo is in the interrogation room, and Guan Chaohong is in the reception room."

"Only them?"

"No, Lao Zhang was staring at Cao Chengguo in the interrogation room, and Wu Dan was staring at Guan Chaohong in the reception room."

Li Guangrong and Wang Aide have already asked the questions that should be asked. Those two people do not look like murderers seeking wealth and murder. Moreover, everyone was at the auto repair shop on New Year's Day, so there was no time to commit the crime.

Before Wei Zhi left, he repeatedly asked him to talk to Guan Chaohong alone.

Wei Zhi's case handling experience and social experience are so rich that it definitely makes sense for him to talk to him alone.

Han Yu weighed it up and said, "Xiao Chen, go get two meals, one for Cao Chengguo and one for Guan Chaohong."

"yes!"

"I'll go check on Guan Chaohong first. You can prepare the meal and send it over."

"Han Bureau, you haven't eaten yet."

"I'll take it over and eat it."

"oh."

…

Han Yu walked into the reception room with a lunch box. Wu Dan, who was chatting with Guan Chaohong without saying anything, hurriedly stood up and said hello. Guan Chaohong didn't expect that the person who came was actually a leader, and he was a little nervous for a moment.

"Xiao Wu, you go to the cafeteria to eat first, and I'll talk to Guan Chaohong."

"Bureau Han, do you want to take notes?"

"No, let's just chat and go eat quickly, otherwise the food will get cold."

"yes!"

Han Yu put down his lunch box, pulled out his chair and sat in front of his desk.

Guan Chaohong was worried about the store and her son not doing his homework well. He couldn't help but ask: "Comrade from the police, when can we go back?"

"There are some things that I haven't clarified yet. You can go back when they are clarified."

"I don't understand what happened. What happened to Xiao Qin?"

"Xiaoqin?" Han Yu asked subconsciously.

Guan Chaohong said quickly: "That's Lu Xueqin, we are used to calling her Xiaoqin."

Maybe she had been sewing indoors for a long time and was not exposed to the sun or rain. Guan Chaohong looked younger than her actual age, giving the impression that she was only twenty-seven or eighty-years-old. Unlike her husband Cao Chengguo, who is only 34 years old, but looks like a middle-aged man in his forties.

Han Yu didn't answer her question. When Xiao Chen brought the rice, he picked up his chopsticks and pretended to be relaxed and said: "Eat first, let's talk while we eat."

The Public Security Bureau is actually in charge of food...

Guan Chaohong was at a loss for a moment when faced with the hot meat and vegetable meal.

"Eat, our branch chef's skills are pretty good."

"Comrade Public Security, I can't eat it."

I was found by the public security agency out of nowhere and brought here. No one else would be able to eat it.

Han Yu could understand her mood at this moment and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous. If you can't eat, eat less. Let's chat while eating."

Guan Chaohong picked up the chopsticks and asked anxiously: "What are you talking about?"

"How did you meet Lu Xueqin?"

"We met while working in Saipan."

"Didn't you go abroad together?"

"No, I went there earlier than her. I worked there for half a year before she went."

Han Yu asked while the iron was hot: "Is the factory where you work in Saipan big?"

Guan Chaohong said without hesitation: "Not big."

"How big is it?" Han Yu thought about it and asked, "How many sewing machines are there in the factory, and how many sewing workers are there?"

"There are many sewing machines but few workers. At most, there are only fifty or so."

"Where is the boss from?"

"The boss is a Yankee."

"How do you communicate?"

"There is a tutor, and the tutor is a Chinese from Taiwan. She speaks similar to us, and she can also speak English."

"Are all the employees in the factory from China?"

"Not all, some are from China, some are from the Philippines, and some are from India."

“How many Chinese are there like you?”

"The highest number when I was there was thirty-two."

…

Han Yu pretended that he had never been abroad and was curious about everything.

Guan Chaohong answered all questions and became less nervous as we chatted. Seeing that Han Yu was eating with gusto, she also had some appetite, but she didn't like eating meat, so she put aside the braised pork.

"It turns out you can go out. I thought food and accommodation were all in the factory."

"We cook by ourselves. How can we buy vegetables if we don't go out, but there are not many vegetables there, there are very few varieties, and they are so expensive. There are many fruits, and they are not expensive."

Han Yu asked while the iron was hot: "Are there many people from China who go to Saipan to work? Do you know any fellow countrymen who work in other factories?"

Guan Chaohong didn't expect Han Yu to ask this, so he hesitated and said, "There are many people working in China, I know a few of them."

"Are there any men?"

"have."

"Do you know each other?"

"Who do you know?" Guan Chaohong lowered his head.

Han Yu put down his chopsticks, stared at her and said, "Do you know any of the guys working there?"

What does the police mean, and why are you asking these questions? Guan Chaohong was so nervous that he didn't know how to answer. He could feel his heart beating.

Han Yu realized why Wei Zhi asked her to talk to her alone, and said very seriously: "Don't you want to know what happened to Lu Xueqin? I can tell you now that she is dead and was killed!"

"ah……"

Guan Chaohong couldn't believe this was true, and his face turned pale with fright.

Han Yu took out a photo from the inner pocket of his cotton-padded jacket and gently placed it in front of her.

The photo is indeed Lu Xueqin!

Guan Chaohong covered her mouth tightly and asked in shock: "When did it happen? Xiaoqin is such a good girl and has never offended anyone. Who would kill her?"

"Yes, who would kill her?" Han Yu put the lunch box aside and whispered: "This is why I invited you here. You have been with her day and night for nearly three years. It can be said that you know her better than her parents, sister and brother-in-law. .Guan Chaohong, we need your help, and I think you don’t want her to die in an unknown way."

"I don't know, I don't know anything. I've only seen her twice in the past few months." Guan Chaohong didn't dare to look at the photo anymore, and choked with tears.

"Then tell me something you know, such as what happened when you were working abroad."

"Didn't I just say that?"

"When I was working in Saipan, did I know any of the male fellows? Did any of the male fellows from China pursue her?"

"I know a few, and...some of them have chased her. But when she first went there, she borrowed all the money she needed to go abroad from her sister and her husband. She was too busy working to make money, so how could she have the time to talk? object."

She must know something, otherwise she would never be so nervous at the mention of her fellow men.

Han Yu made a guess and said meaningfully: "Guan Chaohong, even if you don't tell some things, we will find out sooner or later. Although we are unlikely to go to Saipan to investigate, we can find someone who can help you with the procedures for working abroad. Agents can go to the immigration department to investigate entry and exit records and find your former colleagues."

"It's none of my business, comrade police, you don't think I killed Xiaoqin, do you?"

"We know that you did not kill Lu Xueqin, and he has little to do with your lover. The problem now is to find out the truth and bring Lu Xueqin's murderer to justice. We must understand Lu Xueqin's basic situation, especially in Saipan The situation during part-time work.”

"..."

Guan Chaohong covered his face tightly and remained silent.

Han Yu probably guessed what she was afraid of, and whispered: "I know you have something to hide, but as long as you cooperate, I will keep it a secret for you. It is precisely because of confidentiality that I came in to talk to you alone."

"Comrade Public Security, I...I..."

"I can let your lover go back first."

"It's obviously none of my business, why do you have to...have to..."

"We didn't want to embarrass you. The problem now is that Lu Xueqin is dead. She was strangled to death. Human life is at stake. Besides, she is still your good sister. Do you want to let her murderer go free?"

Han Yu stopped doing her ideological work. Instead, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number in the duty room, ordering the police officer on duty to let her husband go back first.

Sitting in the reception room, I could vaguely hear Cao Chengguo's voice. You can even hear the policemen doing Cao Chengguo's work, reassuring Cao Chengguo, and promising to arrange a car to take Chao Hong home after understanding the situation.

Time passes minute by minute.

Han Yu picked up his phone, looked at it, and reminded: "It's getting late, have you thought about it?"

I am really afraid of what will happen.

I thought that those things were just a small episode in my life, and they would be over after I returned to China. I no longer think about them now, and I will never mention them again in the future. No one can think of not mentioning them.

Guan Chaohong took several deep breaths and said with a blushing face: "We know a few male fellow villagers abroad, comrades from the police. I'm not afraid that you will laugh at me. We live with others outside."

"How did you get together?"

"It's just... we just live together, take care of each other, whoever gets off work early cooks, and there's someone to talk to after dinner."

"Living together."

"That's right, but we didn't betray the family. I went to my job, I earned my money, and I sent the money back home. He went to his job, and he earned money and sent it to his wife. We lived together outside. We broke up when we returned to China. I will not contact him again, and he will not look for me again."

Being so far away from home, unfamiliar with the place and speaking the language, and being away for several years, one can imagine how lonely and difficult the long nights are...

Han Yu was silent for a moment and then asked: "Where is Lu Xueqin? Has she... ever lived with others?"

"have."

"What's that man's name and where is he from?"

"I only know his name is Asheng, and his hometown is Dongguang."

"How old is A Sheng?"

"She is about the same age as Xiaoqin. They got married early in their hometown and have a wife and children in China."

"What does he do in Saipan?"

"Renovation person." Guan Chaohong was embarrassed to look directly at Han Yu, and looked sideways at the cabinet in the corner, and then said: "A Sheng always went to see Xiaoqin. Xiaoqin was embarrassed at first. Later, he fell ill once and had a high fever. , the boss happened to be away, and no one in our factory knew how to drive, so it was Ah Sheng who carried Xiao Qin to see the doctor."

Han Yu asked: "What happened next?"

"Later, she saw that we all had friends outside, so... she lived with Ah Sheng."

"Has A Sheng returned to China?"

"It seems not, probably not."

"How did you know?"

"Ah Sheng came over illegally. Ah Sheng has several fellow villagers there. They never thought of coming back before they left. Instead, they wanted to take their family members over."

Who would have thought that they had all formed temporary families with fellow villagers who also worked abroad.

Han Yu repeatedly asked, confirmed that nothing could be asked, promised to keep her secret, arranged for the police to drive her back, and then returned to the office to call the "old handsome" to report what he had learned.

"So it's unlikely that 'A Sheng' committed the crime?"

"Unless he returns to China."

"Those who crossed over illegally should have a deportation record when they come back."

"I'll ask Li Jun to check for me tomorrow." Han Yu thought for a while and asked curiously: "Wei Zhi, you haven't even met Guan Chaohong. How did you think they might have cheated on her abroad?"

"I have never met her, but I have seen many people who went abroad to work and got divorced. Their group has the highest divorce rate." Wei Zhi sighed secretly and continued: "Some cheated on people outside, and some were fooling around with people at home. Therefore, it is better for the couple to stay together and not live apart for a long time just to make some money."
