What's in the depths II

"Sorry, have you been waiting for a long time?" Su Wenyu hurried over, pulled out the chair and sat down.

Jiang Jingyao smiled, and handed over the menu: "No, it just happened that the company meeting ended early today, so I stopped by. If you want to eat something, you can order it."

Although it was just a simple inquiry, it inevitably made Su Wenyu's heart warm. Even though he came early, he didn't order food in advance, but waited for him to come and let him order according to his favorite taste.

It's just that the drunkard's intention is not to drink, Su Wenyu didn't come to eat at all, more, he wanted to take this opportunity to have a good look at him, and contact him by the way.

Jiang Jingyao is really too polite. Whether it is to himself or to the waiters in the restaurant, he often says "thank you" and is accompanied by a modest nod of thanks. His gestures are natural, generous and just right.

Here Su Wenyu was almost fascinated by watching, resting his chin on his hands like a little adolescent girl, looking at the person he likes full of love.

"I heard that there was another murder case. I must be very busy. It is really hard for you."

Su Wenyu quickly regained his senses: "No, no, what should I do? Speaking of which, where are you now?"

"In my mother's company, a dispensable position is not worth mentioning." As he spoke, Jiang Jingyao raised his hand to fill the teacup in front of Su Wenyu with tea.

Su Wenyu rubbed the lukewarm cup wall, thought for a long time, and said slowly: "I'm sorry, because our ineffective protection caused your sister to suffer such a disaster."

"Too serious, what does my sister's death have to do with you? Speaking of which, is my aunt still unwilling to let go?"

Su Wenyu nodded: "So I hope you can persuade her. I know that leaving the dead body is the greatest respect for the dead in Chinese thinking, but with all due respect, true respect is to find the murderer and return the dead. A justice, so that the spirit of the dead can be comforted."

"You are right." Jiang Jingyao sighed slightly, "I will try my best to comfort my aunt."

When the meal was served, there was a tempting aroma, but facing the table full of delicacies, Su Wenyu never had the desire to move his chopsticks. Now whenever he saw the red color, he would think of the two blood-stained corpses lying sideways. There, life was ended in the most brutal way.

"However, my cousin, who is Jing Er's own sister, called her before. She called Jing Er before she was killed, but at that time I just got off the plane and was picking up my luggage. I didn't hear it, so I didn't answer it. .”

"Did she realize that someone was following her, so she called her sister for help?" Jiang Jingyao said, using the public chopsticks to pick up the piece of goose meat that looked fattest on the porcelain plate and put it in Su Wenyu's bowl.

"It's probably like this. Maybe it won't be the result when she called her parents at that time."

"My aunt and uncle take care of the company and are usually very busy. Before my cousin went to work in other provinces, she was the one who took care of Jinger. Besides, my cousin is 14 years older than Jinger, so she loves her very much. Jinger will also rely on her sister more, so I called my sister right away."

"So, your cousin is 14 years older than the victim, and this year is..."

"30 years old." Jiang Jingyao answered.

"30 years old?" Suddenly, as if a basin of cold water fell from the sky, Su Wenyu was instantly enlightened.

Although the No.2 deceased, Tu Jinger, was only sixteen years old, her older sister, Tu Sisi, was already 30 years old.

What does the number thirty mean? Is it just a coincidence or something else.

"What's the matter, is there anything you're particularly concerned about?" Seeing that Su Wenyu was already in a daze, Jiang Jingyao asked.

Su Wenyu came back to his senses, and waved his hands in a concealed manner: "No, I'm just thinking about the case, so where does your cousin get a job, or is there anyone... she doesn't deal with."

Jiang Jingyao put down his chopsticks, thought about it carefully, furrowed his eyebrows neatly, and continued, "She often complains to us about her employees, so what?"

"I mean, is there any, special..."

"I haven't heard her say this. She is fairly modest, so there shouldn't be any enemies."

Hearing what he said, Su Wenyu felt even more strange, but now it is difficult to judge whether the fact that the sister of the deceased Tu Jinger was also 30 years old is related to the fact that the other two deceased were both 30 years old, but what is certain is that the three deceased were all involved. A person, or rather a monster—the cat-faced woman.

What does the age of 30 mean? Basically, most women in their 30s have stable jobs and have formed their own families, and they already have children. Or does "30 years old" have any special meaning for murderers?

"Let's eat first, it won't taste good after a while." Seeing that Su Wenyu was still in a daze, Jiang Jingyao couldn't help reminding him.

"Oh, good." Su Wenyu finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly picked up the piece of goose meat and stuffed it into his mouth, but it tasted like chewing wax, and he couldn't taste it at all.

"I didn't expect that you have entered the police station and become a famous policeman. When you helped me paint my school uniform, I thought you might be engaged in art-related industries in the future, and your appearance has changed a bit. That's why I didn't recognize you at first glance." Jiang Jingyao chuckled.

"It's just an internship period, and I haven't officially graduated yet, but I should stay there after graduation."

Under the dim yellow light with a little tiredness, Jiang Jingyao's face looked somewhat unreal. Su Wenji thought that he was just an unattainable dream when he first fell in love, but now this dream is very real. across from myself.

"You have also changed a lot, and you are more enthusiastic. I remember that you used to not like to talk, and you didn't like to deal with your classmates."

Hearing the sound, Jiang Jingyao lowered his head and pursed his lips and chuckled, showing a little shyness: "At that time, the male students in the class didn't like me very much, so I took it for granted that I was hated by everyone. It's not that I don't want to communicate with my classmates. Rather than dare to say."

"They're jealous. You have seduced all the girls, and the goddess also falls in love with you. Of course they don't like you." Su Wenyu said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"What about you, did you also hate me then?" Jiang Jingyao looked up, with a faint smile still on his face.

Just this one sentence, disturbed Su Wenyu's heart was pounding wildly.

What does he mean by this? Is it to show his favor?

"If I could go back to the beginning, I think I will definitely confess to you." After hesitating for a long time, Su Wenyu finally slowly revealed the secret that had been hidden in his heart for many years.

"Ah?" Just for a moment, Jiang Jingyao's smile froze on his face.

Under the spotlight, the sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger hesitated and punched herself hard on the back of the head, giving herself a complete mess.

"I'm joking." Su Wenyu pulled a wry smile in a panic, "I just thought you were out of character at the time and didn't bother to communicate with us. If I knew what you thought back then, I definitely wouldn't let you spend the three years of high school alone."

Hearing this, Jiang Jingyao seemed relieved, and immediately smiled again: "The confession you said just now scared me."

Su Wenyu's heart sank: "It's just a joke, don't take it to heart."

"I will get married next spring, and you must come by then, even though you may be the only one at the banquet at the classmate's table." Jiang Jingyao stroked the ring on his ring finger, as if thinking of the lovely woman who accompanied him all his life, There is a hint of sweetness in the polite smile.

The heart skipped a beat, and the brain buzzed.

It turned out that he was going to get married, why didn't I find out earlier, and was still waiting with unrealistic fantasies.

"Okay, I will definitely go." As he said, Su Wenyu raised his wine glass, "Then let me wish you a happy wedding in advance and a happy marriage for a hundred years."

When I was young, my crush who didn’t have the courage to speak out, my classmate with a thick neck who blushed because of a small incident, and the set of five-thirds simulations that I didn’t do more before the college entrance examination were things I would regret no matter whether I was 30 or 80 years old. I wonder if I can make up for these regrets if I can go back to the beginning.

But in fact, time will not turn back, regrets will not be filled, and no one can change the result. The only thing we can do is to continue to work hard on the track of life with this regret, although we cannot change the past. , but at least he can control the future, so that he can live up to the short decades of his life.

On the Yanjiang Bridge, the night wind messed up her hair.

Looking at the rolling river, looking at the brilliant neon lights, fiery trees and silver flowers along the river, the slightly tacky night scenes all tell the prosperity and pride of this era. The city never stops its steps to wait for anyone.

Slightly drunk, Su Wenyu paced back and forth by the river, trying to get out of the straight line of sobriety.

Jiang Jingyao was sitting in the car on one side, looking at this person who refused to leave and insisted on proving that he was not drunk, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He is not stupid, and he is willing to believe that sometimes what is blurted out without the brain is often the truth.

But he hoped that the accidental meeting after so many years would not cut off the contact so easily. The anime character behind the school uniform back then is enough to show how hard the person who drew it was, but it was too late.

----------

"Yo, I went to be a ghost last night, the dark circles under my eyes are so heavy." Early in the morning, I heard Yunqian moving past Su Wenyu again.

They seem to be natural enemies, and there is nothing else to do but black each other.

"To each other, yours is not too shallow. You must have cracked the door of the forensic doctor last night."

"You think I'm as perverted as you, but I just watched a ghost movie and didn't sleep well." Yunqian rubbed his sore eyes, as if he felt that this topic was quite boring, and didn't want to continue.

"Okay, you two will fucking know you are poor, don't you have nothing to do, just sweep the runway if you have nothing to do." Yu Yuan cursed as soon as he entered the door.

As soon as the two heard it, they immediately sat back in their seats and stopped talking.

"The husband of the deceased, Zhou Xinlu, is here. He packed up his things and followed me to take notes."

"It can be regarded as coming. He didn't come here until three days after his wife was killed. It really gave him an eldest son for nothing." Yunqian picked up the notebook on the table and complained.

"That's what you should say. When someone discusses business in Thailand, they don't just grow wings and return as soon as they say it." Yu Yuan glared at him.

Yun Qian pouted, and followed Yu Yuan to the office with a cowardly look.

Zhou Xinlu's husband, Tang Zongyuan, is a 36-year-old businessman, the boss of a small foreign trade company. He looks gentle and gentle. He has many real estate properties under his account. He is handsome and rich. He is the type that some women prefer.

Tang Zongyuan's complexion didn't look very good, he was pale, and in just three days he became thinner, and his cheeks were sunken.

After reading his wife's autopsy report, his eyes turned red instantly, and he pushed the report aside and couldn't bear to read it any more.

"Did your wife offend anyone during her lifetime?"

Tang Zongyuan shook his head: "She usually takes care of the children at home, I can't think of anyone she can offend."

"What about you, to be honest, you are a businessman, and you should have many enemies." Yu Yuan asked directly, and he didn't hide it.

"Even if there is, it should be aimed at me. He killed my wife and it won't change anything. The stock market will not change drastically, and the partners will not cancel the cooperation because of it." Tang Zongyuan shook his head wearily.

Indeed, this is not wrong. Tang Zongyuan is in charge of the company, and his wife is just a housewife. Killing her will not change any results in this turbulent shopping mall.

From this point of view, the murderer's target seems to be Zhou Xinlu.

"Your son Tang Haoyu said that he saw a cat-faced woman standing behind the deceased before she died. Although the cat-faced woman has always been an urban legend, I still want to ask, did your wife talk to you before she died?" Did you mention any rumors about the cat-faced woman?"

"No, she doesn't really believe in such things. She is also very courageous. She often watches horror movies, and I haven't seen her that scared."

While talking, a small police officer knocked on the door and entered, Yu Yuan whispered something in his ear, and then handed him a stack of materials.

Yu Yuan looked at the document in his hand, and gradually frowned. After a long time, he put the document on the table and pushed it to Tang Zongyuan's hand.

"Lin Shu, you should know this woman." When he said this, Yu Yuan's expression changed obviously.

Tang Zongyuan froze for a moment, then nodded slowly: "She is my secretary."

"Our police officers went to your company to understand the situation. Some employees said that you and your secretary are too close. Someone once saw you and her in a love hotel. This...isn't it Spread rumors."

Tang Zongyuan's throat moved, as if he was swallowing to relieve his tension.

Seeing that Tang Zongyuan didn't say anything, Yu Yuan sneered: "Don't be nervous, we're just making routine inquiries, even if there's something real, we don't care about it."

Tang Zongyuan moved his fingers, then leaned on the back of the seat pretending to be relaxed, and spread his hands:

"Men are just playing around outside. Besides, I have never owed Xinlu anything. I buy her whatever she wants, and I give her a card for her to use wherever she wants to play. She fell in love with the river view room in Parkway. I also bought it without saying anything, even though the house has little room for appreciation, I never said a word 'no' to her."

Yu Yuan shook his head, seeming to be a little disdainful: "Then you continue to talk about your secretary Lin Shu."

"Lin Shu is a very capable woman with excellent communication skills. She has been working with me since the establishment of our company and helped me negotiate many big deals. She is a great contributor to my company. Speaking of which, she knows me. It's been longer than Xinlu has known me, for an unmarried woman at 35, it's understandable for me to give her some comfort."

As soon as these words came out, Yu Yuan felt that this person had a really thick skin, so thick that he was willing to bow down.

You comfort her?Whether she couldn't find a good man or something, she really stood up and down.

"Yes, there is nothing wrong with it." Yu Yuan almost gritted his teeth.

At this time, Yun Qian couldn't help poking Yu Yuan with his elbow, and whispered into his ear, "Wife's wife was still lying in the morgue and started to excuse his female secretary. His wife's spirit in the sky heard it." How heartbreaking."

Yu Yuan also lowered his voice: "Is your heart chilling? What's the matter with you, make a good record."

Then he turned his head and said: "We will ask your secretary to come to the police station to assist in the investigation, so I will trouble you today."

Tang Zongyuan adjusted his tie, stood up, and shook hands with Yu Yuan: "If you have any clues, please inform me as soon as possible. I will go to the hospital to see my son now."

After sending Tang Zongyuan away, everyone didn't feel relaxed. On the contrary, the questioning without clues was clearly a waste of time. The successive cases in recent months had made them a little tired, but in their positions, What else can I do if I don't bite the bullet and continue to investigate.

"What's the situation with the deceased Jiang Ziling? Have you checked it?" Yu Yuan lit a cigarette and wanted to take a rest, but in the end he opened his mouth involuntarily and it was the case case case case case case.

"Check it out." Yun Qian just came out of Yu Yuan's office, before he had time to take a sip of water, he immediately called up the file and pushed it to Yu Yuan.

"Jiang Ziling used to work as a shopping guide in a luxury store in the city center. She was married for three years and had no children. Her husband said that Jiang Ziling started talking about seeing a cat-faced girl nearly two months ago, and she was able to comfort her at first. Later, no matter what she said, it was useless. She insisted that the cat-faced girl was going to kill her. She was very scared and moved back to her hometown overnight. As a result, her spirit became worse and worse, and finally went crazy. Her husband also made a fuss because of this incident. Annoyed, now I went to Sanya to relax."

How did the cat-faced woman with the unanimous opinion, and the strange footprints in the abandoned factory that you can only get in and out of?

After thinking about it for a long time, I couldn't think of a reason.

"Right now, the rumor about the cat-faced girl has become a hot topic on the Internet. There are all sorts of strange rumors, and there are all sorts of things to say. Some cat owners have even given up their cats, saying that now they are scared when they see cats."

"There are also netizens who claim to have seen the cat-faced girl with their own eyes, saying that the cat-faced girl has very long hair, the pupils of both eyes are blue, the white eyeballs are bloodshot and red, half of the face is human, half is cat face, But it's covered by the hair, so I can't see what that half of the face looks like."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Qin leaned over, grabbed the mouse from Yunqian's hand, and scrolled through the comments.

"Wow - this is even more evil. I said that before I got off the night shift and passed by a small road, I saw a long-haired woman squatting next to the garbage dump in front of me. She shook her body and kept stuffing something into her mouth. At first he didn’t pay attention to it and thought it was a waste picker, but when he got home, he thought about it and was terrified, because there was a glass factory in front of that trail, and the garbage there was glass shards instead of household garbage.”

Yunqian shivered: "Anyway, the rumors should be believed at least three points."

As he said that, he turned to Su Wenyu again: "That's right, we are the police officer Su who firmly believes in the cat-faced woman."

Hearing someone calling his name, Su Wenyu came back to his senses and looked over in confusion: "What did you just say?"

"Why are you so absent-minded? What are you thinking?" Yun Qian, who failed to strike up a conversation with Su Wenyu, was slightly upset.

"No, no, it's just a personal matter."

"Oh, personal matters, speaking of personal matters, didn't you go out to dinner with that handsome young man yesterday? Did you... create any ambiguous sparks?"

Su Wenyu took a deep breath and stood up: "I'm going to the file room."

Everyone looked at each other, especially Yun Qian, who felt that something was wrong with Su Wenyu today, especially something wrong, and he didn't like to flirt with himself anymore, and he didn't dress himself up in fancy clothes, and even came to the police station without even doing his hairstyle.

Has he changed his gender?

Or was the confession rejected?

Just as he was thinking wildly, a small police officer opened the door and came in, anxiously said: "I just received a call from the police station saying that a body was found on Huanan Road in Tenghe District."
