monologue

"Officer Lang, are you here to look for Liu Zhen?" When Bai Yao was talking to Lang Lang, a middle-aged woman came out of the corridor. The middle-aged woman pointed the way.

"Hello, Auntie, we still have a few questions for Liu Zhen." Lang Lang replied with a smile.

"Oh, Liu Zhen's natal family has been coming and going in and out of many people these days, quarreling in the corridor every day. Her husband looks like a very honest person. Only when something happened, did he know that he owed a lot of debts outside, and he didn't know what to say. If the child’s life is not good, it will be retribution.”

"Do you know what it is?" Bai Yao blurted out the question, and the aunt looked at Bai Yao with a strange expression.

Seeing her vigilance, Lang Lang hurriedly explained: "Don't mind, Auntie, we are all occupational diseases, there is no other meaning."

Bai Yao hurriedly apologized: "I'm really sorry."

The aunt waved her hand grandly and said, "It's okay, my nephew is also going to the police academy, and he will be like you in two years."

Seeing that they suddenly had the same topic, Lang Lang asked, "Then you also know the difficulties of the police in handling cases. Tell us, who are the people who asked Hu Hanying for debts?"

"I can't tell you that. Sometimes there are some kind-hearted people, and sometimes there are some hooligans, which makes the residents in the building complain. The son-in-law has just been killed, and everyone can't bear to talk to them again. .”

"Then what is the retribution you are talking about? Liu Zhen also looks kind and has a good temper. It stands to reason that she should be easy to get along with."

"You don't know about that. Liu Zhen's husband used to have a sister, a very well-behaved girl who happened to have leukemia, and the family borrowed money to see the doctor, and the tossing three families quarreled every day. I heard that Liu Zhen didn't know how to pay for that. What did the girl say, that girl committed suicide by drinking medicine that night, and the two families had quarreled over this matter for more than half a year, and now her husband was killed again, alas." The aunt sighed in pity.

"Auntie, are these things their family members said?" Bai Yao asked.

She shook her head, and said with a little disgust: "The big guys are chatting, the family ugliness should not be publicized, that family is so stingy, and you are in a hurry if you hear that they are not in order."

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of messy footsteps behind her. The three of them suddenly turned their heads and took a few steps to the side, giving way to the way upstairs. A few middle-aged men came menacingly. I went upstairs.

The aunt pointed to the backs of those people and whispered, "Look, there are only these people, and there is another wave, which came in exchange."

Bai Yao and Lang Lang looked at each other, thanked her, and immediately followed her upstairs. Auntie looked curiously behind for a while with a vegetable basket in her hand before leaving.

"Sister Lang, before we asked Liu Zhen and Hu Hanying if they had any debt problems, she said no." When they went upstairs, Bai Yao asked Lang Lang. Liu Zhen's parents lived in an old-fashioned residential building. As soon as they entered, it was pitch black, and their voices echoed loudly. They had already heard the quarrels coming from the sixth floor.

"Xiaobai, do you know how to greet your neighbors?" Lang Lang asked.

Bai Yao said suspiciously: "I asked if I had eaten when we met? What are you doing? My mother told me that when I was young."

"That's an old neighbor. Your questioning attitude determines whether the person being questioned is willing to tell you the truth. This is why it is easiest to ask the police when investigating this kind of case. They know how to communicate with residents, especially It's in an unfamiliar residential area." Lang Lang said earnestly.

Bai Yao smiled awkwardly, and said, "I understand, next time I must pay attention to my attitude."

"Also, what kind of attitude should someone use? You can't coax him when you ask a little hooligan. You have to scare him, such as kicking a brick in front of him, and then scaring him with half a brick. Guarantee He answered honestly." Lang Lang gave an example solemnly.

Bai Yao suppressed a smile and walked to the sixth floor with Lang Lang.

The two walked to the corner of the sixth and fifth floors, and saw the middle-aged men standing in front of Liu Zhen's house.

One of them said loudly: "It's only natural to pay back the debt, as long as you pay back the money, everything will be fine!"

"Get out! Get out! Get the money that Hu Hanying owes you, go to him! That bastard didn't give me a penny, so what will I have to pay for it!" Liu Zhen yelled crying while standing at the door.

Bai Yao and Lang Lang stopped in their tracks. It was the first time for the two of them to see Liu Zhen hissing and cursing. This seemingly gentle and weak woman also had such a fierce side. Thinking of what the aunt said, Bai Yao's words to Liu Zhen Views have quietly changed.

"I said Liu Zhen, we understand your difficulties, who understands our difficulties? Hu Hanying borrowed [-] yuan, and the brothers only lent him the money because they trusted him. It has been more than half a year. You are not paying back the money now. , What shall we eat!" A thin middle-aged man said, not as aggressive as the strong man before.

"I said I didn't know he borrowed money! How did I know what he borrowed money for! Now he's dead too! Leave a bad debt for me to pay! Who can I ask for repayment! It's better to die!" Liu Zhen couldn't help crying.

"Look, we didn't bring knives or sticks. You are Hu Hanying's wife. You are obliged to pay back the money he owes."

"We've been divorced a long time ago! His property and debts have nothing to do with me!" Liu Zhen couldn't help crying anymore, as if she was rolling, and then she fell backwards, and the person standing at the door A swarm of bees squeezed in.

Seeing this, Bai Yao and Lang Lang ran up the stairs one after the other, Liu Zhen collapsed at the door, and the men surrounded by them looked flustered and didn't know what to do. Bai Yao went forward to take out her ID and said: "police!"

Lang Lang quickly squatted down to check on Liu Zhen. The men at the door looked at each other. He didn't know how he came to ask for debts and ran into the police. But Liu Zhen fainted at this time, and they felt guilty for a while.

Lang Lang helped Liu Zhen up, and the men were ready to leave when they saw this, lest Liu Zhen wake up and tell the police what happened to her.

Bai Yao said seriously with a straight face: "I have a few questions for you about Hu Hanying, let's talk outside."

Lang Lang looked back, and then went to check on Liu Zhen's condition. Liu Zhen was so anxious that she fainted, Lang Lang helped her in.

After a while, Bai Yao came in from the outside and closed the door. She was the only one in Liu Zhen's house, and her parents were not at home.

"Sister Lang, how is she?" Bai Yao asked in a low voice.

"Wake up soon, where are those people?"

"Let's go, I asked clearly. They are all here to ask for debts. They said it was a normal procedure to collect debts. They didn't kick the door or smash things to curse people. They didn't have a close relationship with Hu Hanying. They said it was because of Hu Hanying's identity. I lent him money only after making friends with him.”

Bai Yao wanted to say something else, but Lang Lang gave her a wink. Bai Yao closed her mouth and walked to the water dispenser in Liu Zhen's house. She took a cup from the table next to her and took a glass of water. When she returned to the sofa, Liu Zhen had already Sitting up, Bai Yao handed the water glass to Liu Zhen, and sat opposite Liu Zhen with Lang Lang. Liu Zhen lowered her head, with tears on her face, Bai Yao couldn't bear it.

Lang Lang asked, "What else do you have to say now?"

"Let you see a joke." Liu Zhen put the water glass on the table and said, "Hu Hanying and I divorced a long time ago."

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" Bai Yao asked.

"If I knew that he owed money outside, I would have moved out a long time ago."

"Moving out? Did you have any agreement before?"

"We have been divorced for half a year. I wanted to sell the house and move out, but he said that the house will increase in value in the future, and I can sell it for more money in a few years. I am busy with work, so I continued to live at home and did not move out."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to cremate Hu Hanying's body?" Lang Lang remembered her phone call.

"His parents are both in their hometown, and it is inconvenient to move around. They called me that day and asked me to help him with his funeral and bury him early. Country people are conservative in their thinking and think that it is safe to go to the ground. Called me several times and I was really annoyed."

"Has anyone approached Hu Hanying in the past six months?"

"At first, his sister's boyfriend came to look for him, and then he met his editor. Once he suddenly asked me to borrow money, and I said I didn't ask me again without him. I don't know what he borrowed later. He spent so much money on others, and he was dead before I knew it."

Lang Lang looked at her and said, "You don't seem too sad when he died."

Liu Zhen snorted coldly and said, "He's the kind of person who looks like a man in his head. He screams and kills in his dreams at night, and he doesn't say a word during the day. He doesn't even dare to hit a mouse."

"Who has he been in touch with lately?"

"The editor of the magazine happened to be on the deadline before the accident. He was rushing to finish the manuscript at home. Before I left the house that day, I heard him call someone and talk about the manuscript. I didn't need to think about it. I knew it was his editor."

"His editor? Do you know how to contact that editor?"

"I don't know. I rarely ask about him, and sometimes he doesn't tell me."

"You said that he went to the bookstore on the day of the accident, but we checked the bookstore that Hu Hanying often goes to, and he never went to the bookstore that day."

Liu Zhen lowered her head, bit her lip, shook her head and said, "Maybe he didn't go there temporarily, because he got up very early in the morning and took out the new clothes that he hadn't worn for a long time, so I asked him if he wanted to go." Go out, he said that the new book will be on the shelves, he went to the bookstore to have a look."

"On the deadline, he wears a suit and goes to the bookstore to read the new books on the shelves?"

Liu Zhen's testimony was exactly the same as before, and it seemed that she believed Hu Hanying's words that she was going to the bookstore.

"Then how did his sister die?" Lang Lang asked immediately, a trace of panic flashed across Liu Zhen's face, or maybe she blamed herself.

"She committed suicide after getting leukemia. The family's money was almost emptied in the first few months of chemotherapy. Later, the doctor suggested a bone marrow transplant. The three families contributed to her treatment. My parents were not in good health. The family I couldn’t afford that much money, so I quarreled with Hu Hanying as soon as I was in a hurry, it’s not enough to collect so much money, he still has to mortgage the house, I don’t agree, I was angry that day, and his sister committed suicide that night.” Liu Zhen lowered her head as she spoke, the guilt on her face became more obvious.

"what did you say?"

"I..." Liu Zhen paused, "Anyway, I will die sooner or later, so don't harm others."

Lang Lang had no expression on his face, while Bai Yao frowned, looking at Liu Zhen with a bit of disgust.

A person was dying of a serious illness. It took courage to fight against the serious illness. As a result, her relatives shattered her hope of continuing her life ahead of time. I don’t know what kind of mood the girl had in order to commit suicide by drinking medicine.

At the same time, in Huang Qing's family, the progress of Chu Xingmu and Tang Zhe is almost no progress. Huang Qing's wife, Lin Fang, doesn't know anything other than saying that she doesn't know anything, or she is talking about the situation in their family. Chu Xingmu already understood.

Lin Fang fainted immediately after learning of Huang Qing's suicide. After waking up, she went to the Third Branch Bureau to cooperate with the investigation. She didn't cry much. Outsiders thought that Lin Fang seemed very strong after Huang Qing's death. After all, apart from Huang Qing, Only she can support the family, but Chu Xingmu didn't see any grief from her face, which made Chu Xingmu feel that she was very indifferent to Huang Qing's death.

"If you don't tell me, Huang Qing won't be able to survive. You know more or less about his business affairs. You must also know who he has a feud with. Think about whether Huang Qing has any enemies. The one who reconciled with him the day before How could the man whom my daughter made an appointment to take her to the playground to play committed suicide the next day?"

"I've said everything I need to say. I really don't know what else you want to ask." Lin Fang said in a weary voice.

"A comrade approached you before. We know that. What did Huang Qing tell you before going out on the night of the 17th?"

"It's nothing, he just said that he has a business to discuss tonight, and left." Lin Fang said, she had said these words many times, but the police still asked her over and over again.

"The last call in Huang Qing's call log was to you. What did you say on the phone?"

"He said he wouldn't go home at night, and asked me to pick up Hanhan early the next day, and he agreed to take Hanhan to the playground." Hanhan is Huang Qing's daughter's nickname.

"Are there any friends or guests who have been to your house recently?" Tang Zhe asked.

Lin Fang thought for a while, and told the truth: "Tang Yi came here once. He is the financial director of Huangqing Company, and his secretary, Xiao Sun."

"What are you doing here?"

"I don't know about this. I seldom ask about his business matters. Most of the time when guests come, they talk in the study." Lin Fang's tone and expression did not seem to be lying.

So Chu Xingmu proposed to go to Huang Qing's study, Lin Fang stood up and took him and Tang Zhe to Huang Qing's study.

Lin Fang pushed open the door, and Chu Xingmu observed it at the door. The study room was very ordinary, with two bookshelves, two desks, a double sofa and a small glass coffee table.

Chu Xingmu walked in, followed by Tang Zhe.

Chu Xingmu walked to the desk and saw a pile of folders on the desk. After flipping through it casually, he saw a few familiar big characters, and then his eyes fell on a medicine bottle.

"Clopidogrel?" Chu Xingmu picked up the small medicine bottle and shook it, there was still medicine in it.

Tang Zhe said: "Taijia, the medicine for heart disease."

Chu Xingmu turned his head to look at Lin Fang, and asked, "Has this medicine been kept here? Or did Huang Qing forget to bring it when he went out?"

"It's been kept here all the time. He always takes the medicine with him when he goes out, one bottle at home and one bottle on his body." Lin Fang replied.

Tang Zhe looked at Chu Xingmu, who knew what he wanted to say.

No medicine for heart disease was found in the relics on Huang Qing's body.

"Does everyone in his company know that Huang Qing has a heart attack?"

"Probably not, he hasn't had a heart attack in the past few years."

"Not once?"

"Yes, but he always takes his medicine with him when he goes out, just in case."

Chu Xingmu's eyes fell on the bottle of clopidogrel again. Even though he hadn't had a heart attack for several years, he still insisted on taking the medicine when he went out, which showed that this person cherished his life. How could such a person who cherished his life commit suicide so easily?So where did the other bottle of clopidogrel go?
