Ren Youran narrowed her eyes, and said in a slightly forceful tone: "Miss Su, it's inconvenient to disclose the progress of the police investigation. We met today because we hope you can cooperate with our investigation."

Su Lie stopped talking, she had been very cooperative today, but now she suddenly kept silent, Ren Youran felt that it was unusual.

"Miss Su, do you not know about Miss Lan's family situation, or do you have something to hide?"

Su Lie lowered his head slightly, as if he had made up his mind not to speak.

She did this suddenly, making it clear that it wasn't that she didn't understand, but that she didn't want to talk about it.

Gu Yixian is very concerned about Lan Xi's family situation. It should be because of empathy. Seeing Su Lie's silence, she asked coldly: "After Miss Lan's accident, we contacted her parents as soon as possible. They only came to deal with it this afternoon. About the daughter. Miss Su, with such an indifferent attitude, I think the relationship between Miss Lan and her parents will not last for a day or two? As her lover, don't you know?"

Su Lie was not silent this time, she nodded slightly and said, "I know."

Gu Yixian strikes while the iron is hot: "What do you know? We need more details..."

"Officer." Su Lie interrupted her suddenly, "Xixi has a brother who is two years older than her, and a brother who is four years younger. She is the second child at home, and she is a girl. When she grew up, everything she had to eat, play, and play was left over by her brothers. Her family’s conditions were mediocre, but she was not considered poor, and she could provide for their three children to go to school. But before graduating from high school, her parents thought that “girls read so much” What's the use of books, anyway, I just need to marry a good man in the future', so she is not allowed to continue to study in college."

"Xixi is very talented in music, but she has not received systematic studies, and she relies on the time she usually squeezes out to read books by herself."

Gu Yixian heard her say this, and asked: "I heard that learning music is very expensive. Her parents treated her like this, and they definitely wouldn't pay her to study, so how did she learn?"

Su Lie looked up at her, and said: "I bought it for her. My parents died early, and I lived with my grandmother. My family conditions are not bad, and my grandmother is very good to me. I have never been short of anything. I think She will buy anything I want. When we were 18 years old, we saw a talent show in which contestants were selected in the audition. After discussing, Xixi decided to sign up. This is her last chance. If she fails, when she becomes an adult, Her parents will find a man for her on a blind date and marry her off in exchange for a bride price."

Hearing this, the three police officers frowned without exception.

Su Lie continued: "Xixi made her debut in the No.1 draft. Since then, she has successfully escaped from her parents. But this is not the end. From here on, her parents seem to see a girl who can see her at any time. It’s the same as an ATM. Her parents and brothers are sick and ask her for money, her brother asks her for money when he gets married, her brother asks her for money when he goes to college, her family asks her for money when they want to change houses, and her brother asks her for money when he has a baby. The new house is also looking for her..."

Su Lie leaned on the sofa and raised her hands to cover her eyes: "Her family members rarely contact her, but as long as they contact her actively, they basically ask for money... Xixi tried not to give it, and then her brother ran to The media posted articles saying that she was cold-blooded and ruthless, that she forgot her roots after she became a star, that she was not filial and cared about family ties... Her brother was shameless and cried hoarsely in front of the camera, as if Xixi had done a heinous thing to their family thing……"

"In today's impetuous society, it is an era of entertainment to the death. Netizens like to eat melons, and those celebrities eat melons with great relish. Most people don't care about the truth. After seeing melons, they flock to them and follow the trend Kicking and scolding a few words, take this as decompression, anyway, using the keyboard across the screen, what's wrong with scolding celebrities as targets? So many people scolding, what can I do?"

"Entertainment journalists have seized on the popularity and broadcast Xixi's brother's misfortune on the entire platform, and it became a trending search on Weibo. That incident was very fermented. Although I used public relations methods to invite the navy , but it still had an impact on Xixi. I made a ruthless post that time, exposing her family’s patriarchy and blood-sucking to fight back. face, in short, it’s good to change the target and vent.”

"Although the direction of the wind finally changed, the ruthless stabbing by the family members is the root cause of the harm caused to Xixi." Su Lie laughed as she spoke, she put down her hands, her eyes were red, and she choked up and said: "They are close relatives, but they do the most cold-blooded things in the world. This is what I know, officer, since you will still meet Xixi's parents, you can ask them face to face. For this daughter, they Will one day really take it to heart."

After listening to Su Lie's words, the faces of the three of them were not very good, and Gu Yixian's expression was even more sullen.

Before the questioning was over, Yan Gui pointed to the master bedroom and said, "I see that there is a safe in the cabinet of the master bedroom. May I ask Miss Su, is it convenient to open that safe?"

Su Lie only thought about it for a moment, then took out a key from her carry-on bag, she got up and went to the master bedroom, and said, "That safe is double-locked with a key and a combination, let me open it for you."

Su Lie opened the safe with the key and password, she stepped aside and said, "It's ok."

"Thank you."

Yan Gui came over, put on his gloves, and took out the contents of the safe one by one.But there is nothing special inside, except for the house book, passbook and bank card, there are some insurance policies.

Yan Gui opened the policy and took a closer look. The insureds were Su Lie and Lan Xi. The types of insurance were quite complete, and the beneficiaries were the two of them.

Su Lie said: "We bought insurance for ourselves a long time ago, and the beneficiary is filled by the other party." She took out one of her insurance policies, "I also have a beneficiary of my grandmother. Xi Xi has no feelings for her family, but I still have my grandmother, so I bought a separate copy, and Xixi knows about it."

There seems to be no problem with the insurance policy, but Su Lie suddenly has the possibility of killing and defrauding the insurance policy, although Yan Gui thinks that this possibility is very small based on her showing affection for Lan Xi.

After checking the safe, Yan Gui put the things back and closed the safe again in front of Su Lie.

It was almost noon, and Su Lie still had something to do in the afternoon, so he asked, "Are there any questions in the future? I have to go back to the studio to deal with things in the afternoon. Something happened to Xixi, and the work that has been negotiated needs to be terminated. These things It will take a while to be busy.”

Ren Youran nodded and said, "There's nothing else for now. If Ms. Su is busy, you can do it first. If there is a need later, we will contact you again."

After getting permission, Su Lie was about to leave.

"Police officer." She stopped at the door and looked back at Ren Youran who followed: "You still have a lot to investigate. I hope you can find out as soon as possible."

what?

Ren Youran frowned in doubt, but Su Lie didn't intend to continue talking to her, nodded slightly and left.

Su Lie went out on the front foot, Gu Yixian got up with the mobile phone on the back foot, and said: "I just checked it on the Internet, and it did happen, about three years ago. Looking at the time, it seems that not long after the turmoil, Blue Xi and Su Lie bought this apartment in Binhe."

Whether there is a connection between the two events is currently unknown.

The three of them ate together at noon, and in the afternoon Yan Gui and Gu Yixian waited for the maintenance master at Lan Xi's house.During this period, Yan Gui looked at the case materials with a tablet.

Gu Yixian sat next to her, looked at the scanned copies of some documents on her screen, and asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Yan Gui moved the screen towards her eyes, and said: "The last time I revisited the scene, I found some manuscripts of Lan Xi, all of which are music scores and lyrics. The date is from 12 years ago to the present, and every period of time I I picked out a few copies and scanned them into the tablet.”

Yan Gui's slender fingers slid across the screen, comparing Lan Xi's lyrics one by one.

"Hey. Wait a minute." Gu Yixian watched intently, and suddenly reached out his hand to stop it.

Yan Gui turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"

Gu Yixian took the tablet over and quickly flipped through it. She selected a few lyrics and compared them on the same screen: "Don't you think that these manuscripts have different handwriting? According to the year, the more time passes In the future, the handwriting will be more scribbled. You can see that the date of this is 2018, and the handwriting is already very scribbled, and this one at the beginning of 2019 is even worse."

Yan Gui magnified the manuscripts that Gu Yixian said and read them carefully, and he also saw this problem.

Gu Yixian called out two more pictures from the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020. She squinted her eyes and said, "The handwriting on these two pictures is neat again, but the handwriting seems to be different from the original."

How is this going?

"We need the assistance of handwriting identification experts." Yan Gui said, "Call Team Ren and ask her to contact you. The bureau lacks special talents in this field, but the provincial department has them."

After speaking, Gu Yixian immediately called Ren Youran, told her the situation in detail, and asked her to help make an appointment with an expert from the provincial department, and Ren Youran readily agreed.

The two looked through the information on the tablet again, and at 01:30 in the afternoon, the air conditioner maintenance master came to the door on time.

"This air conditioner is a very good model in our family. How could it be broken so thoroughly? Are you too careless when using it?" The maintenance master complained while dismantling the air conditioner.

The maintenance master carefully checked the failure of the air conditioner, and gave his own judgment: "A lot of water has entered the air conditioner, and the circuit has been short-circuited and burned out. I feel that this situation is man-made... I said beauty, your air conditioner If it is artificially damaged, then we will not guarantee it."

"Warning?" Gu Yixian asked, "Can you be sure?"

The maintenance master patted the soil on his hands and said, "It's about the same."

Gu Yixian frowned, and his voice was a little louder: "It can't be the same, you have to be sure!"

Her expression was so serious suddenly, the maintenance master was startled, and looked at her in a daze, thinking that this person was inexplicable.

Gu Yixian couldn't help it, took out his ID and gave him a look, said: "We are the police, this is related to a case we are investigating now, so I hope you can give us a definite conclusion."

When the maintenance master saw the police certificate, he immediately became cautious: "This... Police officer, if you are sure about this, I can take the short-circuited part back to the factory for detailed inspection."

Yan Gui asked: "Can you give a definite answer?"

The maintenance master nodded and said, "Yes."

"how long will it takes?"

"Tomorrow is Monday. If you hurry up, the results should be available tomorrow afternoon or the morning after tomorrow."

Yan Gui thought for a while, and said: "Okay, then I will trouble you."

"No trouble, no trouble."

The maintenance master assembles the parts that need to be tested and takes them away.

Yan Gui looked at the disassembled air conditioner shell, picked up the panel on the floor and the air outlet fan, took out the cotton swab and reagents from the investigation box, wiped every fan blade of the cross fan, and then installed it with a cotton swab. Put it into the sample tube and seal it.

Gu Yixian watched her movements and asked, "What is this for?"

"See if there is any problem with the air outlet of the air conditioner." Putting the sample tube away, Yan Gui said, "For example, an inhalation drug that can make Zhou Xuanrui faint."

Gu Yixian understood her thoughts: "So you still doubt Su Lie more?"

Yan Gui shook his head and said, "There is no update, but we can't let go of a little detail. If all doubts are eliminated, then it can prove her innocence."

"Well. To be honest, I really don't want her to be the murderer." Gu Yixian looked at the piano on the side, "They have such a deep relationship, I can't think of her motive for killing her lover."

Childhood sweethearts, teenage lovers, supporting each other, and working together, from the misfortune of the original family to the turmoil in the entertainment industry, the two of them are always by each other's side and will never leave each other. If the relationship along the way like this will collapse, then the world Isn't it too sad?

Yan Gui held Gu Yixian's hand, and said softly, "I don't hope either. But our hope is one thing, and the truth and evidence are another."

Gu Yixian shook her hand instead, nodded: "I know."

Things at Lan Xi's house have come to an end for the time being, Yan Gui has to go back to the bureau to test the materials first, Gu Yixian is with her, and waits for Ren Youran's situation by the way.

Before leaving, Yan Gui dug out two documents from the desk in the piano room, each with the signatures of Su Lie and Lan Xi. She put the documents away and prepared to use them as comparison materials for handwriting identification.

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Yan and Gu were waiting for the results in the laboratory. An investigator from the second team came to look for them with an anxious expression on their faces.

"Sister Gu, Lan Xi's lawyer has come and said he is looking for our person in charge. Team Ren is not here now. I called her and she asked me to find you."

Lan Xi's lawyer?

Gu Yixian asked the investigator to take someone to her office.

"Come over with me to have a look?" Gu Yixian asked Yan Gui.

Yan Gui nodded in agreement, anyway, the test results would not come out after a while, so she followed Gu Yixian to the 8th floor.

In the office, a man in a suit was sitting on the sofa. When he saw two women in police uniforms come in, he quickly stood up.

"Hi two police officers, my surname is Liu."

Gu Yixian shook hands with him and said, "Hello, Lawyer Liu."

The three sat down, and Lawyer Liu took the initiative to say: "Officer, it's like this. I'm Miss Lan Xi's lawyer. Miss Lan Xi made a will and notarized her property before she was alive. The content of the notarization..."

"Wait..." Gu Yixian interrupted Lawyer Liu, she was confused, "Lawyer Liu, we are criminal police, Miss Lan's will and property notarization, shouldn't you announce it to her family? ?”

Lawyer Liu smiled and said: "That's right. According to Ms. Lan's will, after her death, all the real estate and part of the property under her name belong to her lover, Ms. Su Lie; the copyright of music and other works belongs to Miss Su Lie; A part of the property is donated to xx girls' education support charity project. According to her will, I have already approached Miss Su Lie, and it was Miss Su Lie who asked me to come to you."

Gu Yixian frowned and asked, "What did Miss Su ask you to do with us?"

Lawyer Liu still smiled decently in the workplace: "I don't know the specifics. Miss Su only asked me to tell the criminal police in charge of Ms. Lan Xi's case. I will contact the other family members of Ms. Lan Xi later and submit the will. Notify them about the notarization of property."

The conversation with the lawyer came to an end soon, but neither Gu Yixian nor Yan Gui could understand, Su Lie specially asked the lawyer to come over and tell them what the meaning of this matter was.

Yan Gui tapped his fingers on the table, and pondered, "Did you tell us specifically that Lan Xi had expected her death a long time ago? She is only 26 years old. Is it necessary to make a will and notarize property so early?"

Now, they are finding more and more that there may be a complicated story hidden behind this seemingly simple and clear case.

The two were thinking about it, and Yan Gui received a call from the Laboratory Department, telling her that the test results came out, and no poisoning reaction was detected, so the line was cut off.

At the same time, Gu Yixian received a notice from Ren Youran: "You and Forensic Doctor Yan went to the provincial office. I contacted Mr. Chang Guoqing, an expert in handwriting identification. He is free now. You go and ask him."

Gu Yixian asked: "What about you?"

Ren Youran spoke a little fast: "I'm going to the Third City Hospital."

Gu Yixian was stunned: "The Third City Hospital?"

"Yes."

The Third Municipal Hospital of Binhe City is a well-known specialized hospital for the treatment of mental diseases in the country.

Ren Youran was sitting in the car, wearing a bluetooth headset, and said in a deep voice, "Lan Xi must be suffering from severe depression."

Gu Yixian hung up the phone and told Yan Gui what Ren Youran had said: "Let's go to Teacher Chang to verify the handwriting first. Youyou said to contact you later."

……

The Binhe Municipal Bureau is not far from the Provincial Office, and Gu Yixian can drive there in 15 minutes.Chang Guoqing was waiting in his office. He was supposed to be off work at this time, but because Ren Youran said he needed to ask him something, he stayed and waited.

Hearing the knock on the door, Chang Guoqing called out, "Come in."

Gu Yixian pushed open the door. Both she and Yan Gui knew Chang Guoqing, and they stood at the door to greet the old senior.

Chang Guoqing didn't treat the other juniors like Ren Youran. He smiled kindly and beckoned them in.

"I've already heard from Yoyo, what words do you have for me to read?"

Yan Gui handed over the lyrics and the two signed documents to Chang Guoqing: "Mr. Chang, take a look at the lyrics. Are the ones written at the end of 2019 and the beginning of 2020 different from those written in previous years?"

Chang Guoqing turned on the spotlight and took a closer look with a magnifying glass.

After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, it was written by two people."

Yan Gui found out the signed parts of the two documents and asked, "Then take a look, can the signatures of these two people match up with those who wrote the lyrics?"

Chang Guoqing looked at it carefully, compared it back and forth with the handwriting on the lyrics, frowned slightly, and said, "This is Su Lie, she wrote all the lyrics after the end of last year."

Sure enough...

If there is no problem with the handwriting identification, then some inside stories can be roughly pieced together.

"Lan Xi is not the only one." Gu Yixian said: "Su Lie can also write songs, and her level is not bad. I am afraid that every song before was composed by the two of them learning from each other's strengths."

Yan Gui dug up the lyrics in 2018 and said: "Since the year before last, for some reason, Lan Xi's physical or mental condition has gotten worse and worse. It can be seen from her scribbled handwriting. Teacher Chang, if a person Suffering from a serious mental illness, will that affect her handwriting when writing?"

Chang Guoqing nodded affirmatively: "Of course. A person's mental state will affect his writing. Judging from the appearance of the writing, it will be very different from when he is in a normal state. Ordinary people may not recognize that it is written by the same person. Yes, this situation can only be confirmed through identification.”

After hearing this, Gu Yixian pondered, "So, Lan Xi may have suffered from depression since 2018. Or maybe earlier."

They asked Chang Guoqing some details about handwriting identification. After staying in the provincial office for nearly an hour, the two said goodbye to Chang Guoqing.

Back in the car, Gu Yixian called Ren Youran, the phone was connected quickly, but Ren Youran's voice was a little low: "Lan Xi's attending doctor is not here today, I asked for his contact information, and I made an appointment to go back tomorrow find him."

Gu Yixian told her the result of the handwriting identification, and Ren Youran sighed tiredly after hearing this: "Now, I don't know if I should feel sorry for them. It's really not easy. I met Lan Xi's parents and Brother, this family is really desperate. The first thing I said when I saw me was to ask Lan Xi who should be consulted about the distribution of property. She didn't even care about where her daughter's body is now and when she can be buried. This is my dear father. Mom, do you hear that they are human beings?"

Gu Yixian sneered and said, "Then they might be disappointed. Lan Xi has already made a will and notarized her property, and a lawyer has already dealt with the distribution of her property after her death. Unfortunately, her Those so-called family members don’t get a dime.”

Ren Youran remembered Lan Xi's lawyer coming to her door: "By the way, why did her lawyer ask us?"

Gu Yixian shrugged and said, "I don't know. The lawyer said that Su Lie asked him to come to us. Yan Gui and I think that she wants to remind us through the lawyer that Lan Xi predicted that she would die a long time ago. .”

On the other end of the phone, Ren Youran frowned: "What does this mean? It implies that we, Lan Xi, have suicidal tendencies? Are you playing us for fools? The autopsy clearly shows that Lan Xi died of homicide. He thought we committed suicide. Are you unclear?"

Yan Gui, who had been silent all this time, said at this moment: "I always feel that Su Lie has her deep meaning, she seems to want to tell us a story."

The author has something to say: Some friends guessed that Lan Xi had depression before, and they guessed it right, so why not guess later~

PS: Two in one today.Changing the lock seal during the day really changed my mentality. I couldn’t hide almost all the words. In the end, I had to delete them all and vowed to practice stream of consciousness in the future. Orz
