sincerity of lies

After leaving Luo Sui's home, several people went to the place where Luo Sui worked.

Luo Sui is in sales at a medical device company called "Quanquan Health". When they arrived at the scene to inquire, they were received by the company's manager.

The manager is an older woman, very polite and professional, and she even asked the staff next to Luo Sui's station to answer questions.

"In my impression, Luo Sui is a well-behaved and hard-working employee. As for her private life, I don't know much about it." The manager smiled apologetically, "She hasn't asked for leave or come to work these two days. I tried to contact her and couldn't get through, so I don't know what happened."

As for the employee sitting next to Luo Sui's station, her surname is Lu, and her nickname is Lu Lu. Lu Lu knows a lot more than the manager, but she is also general: "Luo Sui? I knew that Luo Sui liked cats. The computer screen , the mobile phone screensavers are all cats, there is a cat cafe that I often go to, what is it called Meow Cafe? Other than that, there is nothing special..."

The two Luosui colleagues gave very little information. Life is busy now, and people pay attention to social distance. Under normal circumstances, they don't pay attention to other people's private life.

"Do you know what happened to the flowers on Luo Sui's station?" Ji Xun asked suddenly.

They were sitting in the manager's office. The office was surrounded by glass. Looking out from here, they could see a bouquet of fiery red roses placed on Luo Sui's workstation, and the flowers were already a little wilted.

"It was delivered on March 3th on White Valentine's Day. Luo Sui didn't come that day, so it was kept on her desk. It should be given to Luo Sui by that person." Lu Lu said.

"That person?" Zhao Wu asked, "Who is that person?"

"We don't know either. The person who gave the gift has never signed the name. Luo Sui would ask who gave it at first, but then he stopped asking. Maybe he has figured out who the person who gave the gift is." Lu Lu, "This is also true. It's easy to guess, it must be given by someone who wants to pursue Luo Sui, otherwise, who would send flowers, snacks and cute cat ornaments every three days? Can they all be sent to Luo Sui's heart?"

"How early is the earliest?" Ji Xun asked again.

"I forgot... She probably received it not long after she joined the job." Lu Lu replied.Perhaps inspired by the specific question, she started to chat, "But although the other party keeps sending things, I have never seen him come to the company to pick up Luo Sui. Luo Sui acts on his own most of the time. They may be from two places. Separation, only online dating."

"Do you know that Luo Sui has any very good friends?" Huo Ranyin asked.

"...No." Lulu said.

"No?"

"Yes, probably not." Lu Lu, "Now everyone uses WeChat to contact WeChat for office work. I sat next to her, and once I took her mobile phone, I saw that the people in her WeChat were very clean. Apart from colleagues, they even sell goods in Moments. None of them. Later we chatted, she said that she was not in a good mental state in the past two years, she was depressed once, and impulsively emptied her circle of friends, and now she has overcome depression and is alive again.”

"Besides, it's not just a circle of friends. She works very hard. She comes early in the morning and works overtime until seven or eight o'clock in the evening. I also know that I don't have much time to hang out with friends; and then the company will organize team building from time to time. Our team building will let Those who bring friends and boyfriends’ families, everyone more or less brings a few, singles bring friends, singles bring boyfriends and girlfriends, married ones bring families... Luo Sui is always alone. So I think, she In daily life, there should be no friends who have a good time. Anyway, even if there are, we have never met. By the way, we have met her godfather."

"Grandpa?"

"Well, a pretty fashionable old man, handsome, and looks quite rich. It seems that Luo Sui met when he was running a business shortly after joining the company, and because of a good relationship, he recognized his god-in-law." Lu Lu nodded, "Occasionally He will come to the company to pick up Luo Sui. Every time he comes, Luo Sui is very happy. Although they are relatives, I think they have a good relationship. When he came, it was when Luo Sui was the least dedicated to work, but Everyone also understands that getting along with grandparents and grandparents is getting less and less every day..."

There is no doubt that this fashionable, handsome and rich old man is Hu Kun.

Occasionally Hu Kun would come to the company to pick up Luo Sui.

It's just that no one in the company knows the real relationship between Hu Kun and Luo Sui.Just like the neighbors near Hu Kun's house, they only regard Luo Sui, who often goes in and out of Hu Kun's house, as Hu Kun's granddaughter.

They asked some other questions, and no one in the company could answer them anymore.

The few people didn't force it, and told the manager that if Luo Sui contacted her, they must notify the police in time.

Then they went to Lao Hu's house and asked Lao Hu's family members.

The villa is still the same villa. Compared with the last time, Hu Zheng’s wife lived in it this time, and Mrs. Mei’s relatives also lived in it. It should be quite a big place. There was a lot of noise, and in just a day or two, the portrait of Lao Hu that was originally placed in the living room was gone—it seemed that the traces of Lao Hu were about to be completely erased from this villa that belonged to him.

When the police came, Hu Zheng's wife was the most active.

She knew that her husband had been arrested and wanted to intercede, and she was actively seeking trouble for Luo Sui, so she knew everything she wanted to say, "You ask 'K'? 'K' is Luo Sui's concubine!"

In the process of police visits, there are actually very few witnesses whose testimonies can hit the nail on the head right away. They always say what they want to say, and what the police want to know is objective and true evidence.

Fortunately, after some back and forth, Hu Zheng's wife gradually got into the mood and began to talk about 'k' in detail.

"Luo Sui has a Weibo called Melancholy Fei Leng Cui. I know 'k' through her Weibo. She often interacts with 'k' on Weibo. The messages are all kisses. Bless each other during the New Year holidays, or post a separate Weibo @及及祝福, and they invite each other to see some scenic spots... Tell me, is this a serious thing done by serious people? It must be a complicated relationship, maybe it’s not easy How many times have you opened a room offline. She didn't hide anything about her relationship with K on the Internet. She just bullied the old man because she didn't know how to go online, so she couldn't find her true face of being promiscuous. Hmph... I don't know what she gave the old man. Ecstasy soup, after we found K, we told the old man insinuatingly, every time we just started, the old man let us go with an impatient face! The old man is really blind!"

Hu Zheng's wife scolded people with a look of displeasure.

Zhao Wu and the others chatted with Hu Zheng's wife, while the rest watched the excitement, but Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin went the other way and began to secretly observe the villa.

Since the "Old Hu" who died in the hospital was not the real Lao Hu, then Lao Hu must have a brand new place of death. If you want to let Lao Hu die without alarming others, the best place is of course Lao Hu's home.

I'm afraid Luo Sui was the one who did something to Lao Hu at home.

Everyone stayed in the living room and watched the police questioning, which happened to be convenient for Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin's actions. The two moved quickly and walked around from top to bottom, and soon found clues in the basement audio-visual room of the villa. .

The basement audio-visual room is a place for watching movies and playing games.The room is not big, the TV inside is huge, occupying half of the wall, there is a small window through which you can see the garden, and the coffee table facing the TV is made of wood.

"The coffee table has been replaced." Huo Ranyin said.

No matter how well maintained it is, it won't be brand new, even the legs of the coffee table will not show any traces of wear and tear. They should always be covered with hair, dust and scratches.

Huo Ranyin carefully lifted up the new-looking blanket under the coffee table with his gloved hands. There were brown marks in the cracks of the wooden floor: "It should be here."

"It's reasonable. The audio-visual room can turn up the sound very loudly, so that even if Lao Hu struggles violently, the sound will be covered by the sound of the film and television drama. If it can't be transmitted, it will not be discovered by Mrs. Mei..."

When Ji Xun said this, he paused suddenly.

"Do you remember when we went to the hospital, the nurse said that Mrs. Mei had also been to the hospital?"

"of course I remember."

"When Hu Zheng was handling the body, he discovered something was wrong with the body. Then Mrs. Mei, did she find out that the old Hu in the hospital is not old Hu?"

They looked through the small window of the audio-visual room and saw the people who were staying in the garden.

Hu Zheng's wife and Mrs. Mei's relatives were in the living room watching the police's conversation, but Mrs. Mei stayed alone in the garden, moving flower pots and loosening soil, doing various tasks.

The other party simply tied up his hair with the simplest black-headed rope, and bent over to tidy up the flower garden under the sun, just like the silhouette of an old scalper working silently in the mud.

"Everyone knows that something is wrong with Lao Hu's death." Ji Xun commented, "But no one chose to speak out. Lao Hu really lived a life of anger..."

But when you think about it, this probably isn't too surprising.

Because of Luo Sui, Lao Hu and the child did not get along well.

Because of Luo Sui, Mrs. Mei, who obviously lives with Lao Hu seriously, looks like an invisible person.

Lao Hu and Luo Sui kissed each other sweetly.

But Luo Sui was the one who killed Lao Hu.

The two came up from the audio-visual room, and Ji Xun went to help those lonely old people in the living room who stayed alone in the garden with a face full of old and young.

"Grandma Mei, can I ask you some questions?" Ji Xun greeted the old lady while helping the old lady move the flowerpot.

"Yes." The old man didn't look up, but just spoke out, the voice seemed to come out of the mud, with a dull breath.

"Then can I ask your name first?" Ji Xun said with a smile, "This is a confession, for the record, you must write your full name."

The old lady looked up at Ji Xun, and there seemed to be a strange flash in her eyes.

"... Lili." Grandma Mei said, "Mei Lili."

Mei Lili, a mild and beautiful name that doesn't match the old man's old appearance now.

Ji Xun understood why the old man showed such a strange look—she was unfamiliar with my question, and also unfamiliar with her own name.This name must match her youngest and most beautiful appearance very well. Matching her young appearance, she is naturally far away from her old self.

Grandma Mei worked extraordinarily quickly. In just a few sentences, they had already moved the flower pots on the shelf, and the old man went to tidy up the flower pots in the corner of the garden.

Compared with the flower pots outside, these pots of flowers are hidden deeper, and there is a string of creepers hanging outside, if you don't pay attention to look in through the gaps between the creepers, you can hardly see them.

"These plants can't bask in the sun?" Ji Xun was curious, "So put them here?"

"No."

"Why is that?" Ji Xun broke the casserole and asked.

"Because that woman doesn't like them." Grandma Mei said lightly.

There is no doubt that "that woman" is Luo Sui.

It is obviously the space for one's own life, but it cannot defy the will of an outsider.Ji Xun was surprised for a while, but after the accident, he felt a little sympathetic to the old lady.

"Then do you know something about Luo Sui?"

"What do you mean?" Grandma Mei asked back.

"For example, how did Luo Sui and Lao Hu meet, what Luo Sui usually does, she comes here once every few days, where did Lao Hu and Luo Sui meet, does Luo Sui usually behave strangely—" Ji If you ask me to list it casually, I will list a lot of things.

Grandma Mei was silent for a while.

"I don't really like to pay attention to their affairs. But they are often together, very sticky, and they start kissing and hugging when they avoid people a little bit. Sometimes they start when I'm still at home... It's not always like this outside, maybe they need some face Well. As for the rest of your question, I'm not sure. But..."

"But what?"

"Old Hu likes carpentry very much. He has a place where he specializes in carpentry. I won't be allowed to go there, but I might take Luo Sui with me." Grandma Mei said.
