Let's not speculate on why, but the obvious fact is very simple, Xu Ci tried every means to send Zhu Xiu to the police station.

At Qi Zang's place, he hit a wall.In their company, he also hit a wall.

None of the Economic Investigation, Criminal Investigation, and Group Supervision Departments took Zhu Xiu away.

Then Xu Ci is bound to take action.

In addition, Zhu Xiu's anti-reconnaissance awareness must be taught.

What's more, Shan Kang saw Xu Ci leaving Zhu Xiu's residence.

Both logic and intuition made Qi Zang believe that Zhu Xiu followed Xu Ci.

With the phone in one hand and the steering wheel in the other, Xu Ci asked Qi Zang, "So you will directly locate my phone?"

Without waiting for Qi Zang's answer, Xu Ciyu smiled a little. "Don't be so troublesome. After a while, I will send you the location directly."

"What the hell are you trying to do?!"

Xu Ci didn't answer, and hung up the phone directly.

Zhu Xiu didn't listen to Xu Ci's phone call, and all her attention was on the driving recorder not far above her head.What she said unintentionally just now clearly exposed the fact that she thought Yuan Xiaobing was the murderer.And their conversation can be recorded by the recorder.

Xu Ci, who put down his phone, glanced sideways at Zhu Xiu, as if he had fully guessed what she was thinking, and raised his hand to turn off the recorder. "Don't worry, I won't record."

Zhu Xiu was silent for a while, then said: "You should drive it. I'm afraid that if you kill me... there will be no witnesses."

"I have no reason to kill you. I just want to make money." Xu Ci said, "Let's make a deal."

"What kind of deal?"

"In a while, you go talk to Yuan Xiaobing, and give me all the information, photos...all you can get about the people he contacted. In this way, I will have the premise to ask them for money. In exchange, I will pay for You hire the best lawyer. He is the murderer, you are the accomplice, Wang Yueran was woken up by you that morning, I guess right?"

"What accomplice?" Zhu Xiu frowned, "Don't you think that I wanted to kill Liu Na a long time ago?"

Xu Ci: "There is such a possibility. If so, your sentence will be—"

Zhu Xiu interrupted him. "No way, I'm not an accomplice! I'm just asking for money! I never thought of killing people!"

"The matter of asking for money is very urgent to you, and you may make some drastic moves for it. Because you don't want to go to jail."

"But if going to prison is to me...it doesn't matter so much?"

Hearing this, Xu Ci, who was driving, glanced at the passenger seat.

Zhu Xiu stared at him with red eyes. "I was taken to the Ministry of Supervision this morning, and I confessed everything. I'm not afraid of going to jail! I don't think it's too difficult for me to go to jail. After all, my normal life is not much better. .Have you ever seen the vampire face of my parents?"

Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Zhu Xiu said again: "I agreed to participate in the kidnapping, and it was only for the little soldiers. He not only took 160 million from me, but also owed usury. I really want to help him. I took the risk and designed the kidnapping plan. My company's repayment of money is a secondary purpose, at worst I will go to jail. But if Xiaobing still fails to pay usury, he may have his hands and feet cut off, and even lose his life..."

Zhu Xiu planned the kidnapping not because he was afraid that he would go to jail, but because he was afraid that Yuan Xiaobing's hands and feet would be cut off by debt collectors.

Zhu Xiu's statement was somewhat unexpected, but it was reasonable.

Xu Ci continued: "Zhu Xiu, the problem now is that Yuan Xiaobing has been identified as the murderer. Whether you confess or not, the only difference is whether you are an accomplice. If he is sentenced to death, that's fine, if it's indefinite..."

It was obvious that Zhu Xiu cared about Yuan Xiaobing very much, so Xu Ci took advantage of the situation and said, "If you were not an accomplice and only engaged in job occupation, you would be released from prison two years earlier. In this way, you can at least help his family, or regularly Visit him in prison.

"As a layman, I can see that Yuan Xiaobing has committed crimes, but the police can't see it? Everything you touch will leave traces. It will be a matter of time before the police find evidence."

After listening, Zhu Xiu bent down and buried her face in the palm of her hand, but she never spoke about this matter again.

About an hour later, Xu Ci drove the car to the entrance of the village.

Not in a hurry to enter, looking at Zhu Xiu, he said, "Did you contact Yuan Xiaobing on the way?"

Zhu Xiu nodded. "Well. He re-applied the phone card with his ID card... You can find a parking place nearby. He will pick us up at the entrance of the village."

Sure enough, Xu Ci found a place to park the car, then looked at Zhu Xiu and said, "You two, don't try to play tricks. First, the police have already suspected Yuan Xiaobing, so it is completely meaningless to kill me; The one who came here was just later than the two of us."

Zhu Xiu pursed her lips. "No, you're really wrong. Is Xiaobing the murderer... I'm not completely sure. I, I just suspect..."

It seems to be close to the truth.

Xu Ci still wanted to ask more questions, but Yuan Xiaobing had already appeared.

It was a young man who could be regarded as handsome and clean in terms of appearance alone, but he was always hunched over when he walked, his eyes seemed to be closed, and he looked a little gloomy.

When greeting Zhu Xiu, he was smiling, and even showed two dimples when he smiled, like a sunny boy.

It's just that the moment he looked at Xu Ci, there was obvious vigilance in his eyes.

"Xiuxiu—" he waved his hands, and when Zhu Xiu approached, he asked in her ear, "Who is this?"

Zhu Xiu looked back at Xu Ci, frowned, and finally followed Xu Ci's instructions in the car and said: "He is my friend Wei Wei's boyfriend, and his name is Luo Bai. Don't look at his clothes...he is very A powerful lawyer. I was thinking...Xiao Bing, what happened? I signed a non-disclosure agreement with Luo Bai. If there is anything, we can tell him, and he will help us with ideas. In case the police... "

Zhu Xiu really didn't look like an insider when he said that.

Xu Ci silently looked at her, only to see Yuan Xiaobing looked around vigilantly, then took Zhu Xiu's hand, and led her to the village.

Without saying a word, Xu Ci put his hands in his pockets, followed the two men around, passed several field paths, and finally came to a two-story farm house built by himself.

The people in this village are relatively wealthy, and the traditional earthen houses are almost invisible. Most of the houses are in European style, almost like a small villa.

The self-built house Yuan Xiaobing lives in is not that luxurious, but the exterior walls are covered with tiles, and the interior decoration can be considered exquisite.

Asking Xu Ci and Zhu Xiu to sit down, Yuan Xiaobing poured water for them, but he didn't sit down himself.

The phone rang several times in a row, as if someone was sending him an urgent message.

Yuan Xiaobing picked up his mobile phone and clicked a few times, and said to Zhu Xiu: "This is my aunt's house. She has gone abroad, and this house has been vacant. The village organized the registration of the right to confirm the village homestead before, and this house has never been registered." People are in charge. Now they are urging me. I will go to the village secretary now, and it will be over soon. About 15 minutes. You sit down for a while."

"That little soldier..."

"Don't worry. I'll tell you everything that happened, everything!"

Yuan Xiaobing closed the door and left.

Noticing his movements, Xu Ci frowned, stood up, looked around the furnishings in the room, and walked to the kitchen. After looking around, he stepped forward and opened the refrigerator.

"You, what are you doing?"

Zhu Xiu got up and followed.

In her previous perception, "Xie Qiao" was aloof and stern, but also personable and polite.

Going to a stranger's house for the first time, wandering around like this, looking like you're going to rummage through everything, is just so offensive and disrespectful.

Xu Ci didn't explain his behavior, but took out three cans of Coke from the refrigerator naturally.

"Hey, you—"

Zhu Xiu's words were interrupted by Xu Ci. "Things are not quite right. Tell me well what happened that night. You thought about it for an hour on the way. It's time to make a sensible decision."

Zhu Xiu finally spoke.

According to her statement, in the middle of the night, she was falling asleep when she suddenly received a call from Yuan Xiaobing.For some reason, his voice sounded panicked.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Xiu asked him.

According to the kidnapping plan set by the two, Yuan Xiaobing should come to Baiyun Mountain again on Saturday morning.Why did he suddenly call himself?

Yuan Xiaobing just said: "I can't sleep...I want to go to Baiyun Mountain in advance. Is there still room in the villa you live in? Can I get in?"

Zhu Xiu: "I'm afraid not. The rooms are already full. Besides, it's raining heavily. It's not safe for you to go up the mountain right now. You'd better do it in the morning—"

Before she finished speaking, Yuan Xiaobing interrupted her. "You live by yourself?"

"Yes."

"Why don't I squeeze with you?"

"According to our plan, if someone finds out that I appeared with you, they may suspect that the kidnapping was a conspiracy between two people. This is inappropriate!"

After a while, Yuan Xiaobing asked her again: "How many colleagues are there on the floor you live in?"

Zhu Xiu: "Only one, Wang Yueran who handles personnel affairs."

"You're having a party, are you drinking? Is she drunk? If she's drunk... then I'm afraid she won't find me. "

"That's the truth...but what if? Kidnapping is no small matter. We'd better be careful."

To Zhu Xiu's surprise, Yuan Xiaobing continued to ask her: "What about your other colleagues? Are you very drunk?"

"Most are drunk."

"Is the soundproofing of the villa good?"

"It's, it's okay. I live on the first floor... I didn't hear anything upstairs."

"Oh... well, okay, you're right. I won't go now. I'm sorry, baby, did it make you sleep because of the noise?"

"It's okay." Zhu Xiu smiled sweetly.

"How are you doing today? Is the condition of the villa good?"

"The hardware is okay. But the boss is lazy enough. The bathroom door on the first floor is broken and hasn't been repaired."

"Really? That's really bad. I remember you complained during the day, even the monitoring is broken?"

"Yes. In fact, this kind of place...is quite unsafe. The boss should really install surveillance cameras earlier."

"Fortunately, baby, you are with your colleagues. Otherwise, I don't worry about you living there alone."

"Brother Xiaobing... Thank you. Fortunately, you still care about me. After this incident is over, can we stay together? Let's pay off the money and work hard to do serious work together, okay?"

"Okay. I promise you. I'm sorry, it was my mistake to gamble before. I just want you to live a better life... I'm sorry Xiuxiu."

"It's okay, I'll never blame you."

The two chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Zhu Xiu thought that Yuan Xiaobing had listened to his suggestion, and did not rush to live with him in the villa overnight, but decided to go up the mountain at dawn to carry out the follow-up kidnapping plan.

But at five o'clock in the morning, she was woken up again by the vibration of her mobile phone.

After answering the phone, Yuan Xiaobing said something very strange to her. "Go to the bathroom now, call Wang Yueran, and push the door together. You must do as I tell you! Don't do this alone.

"I, I'm just doing a favor and earning some money! Don't worry, I didn't kill anyone!"

At this moment, in the kitchen.

Having said this, Zhu Xiu let out a long breath.

She rubbed her face and looked at Xu Ci. "I really don't know if he is the murderer. He might just help people disguise everything as suicide, and ask me to help make a lie..."

"After that, have you guys been in touch?"

"Yes. He has contacted me with his new mobile phone. Besides... I, I have received a courier."

"What's in it?"

"It's a silk scarf that I left on Yuan Xiaobing's car before. It was a gift he gave me to make up for... after beating me up."

Hearing Zhu Xiu's story, the missing piece of the jigsaw puzzle was finally closed.

——If Yuan Xiaobing killed Liu Na, why did he dispose of the body on the spot instead of transporting it back to the villa and creating another scene like that? Finally, there is a reasonable explanation.

Xu Ci glanced out of the window, then turned around, and looked at Zhu Xiu's pale face with a slight frown. "Zhu Xiu, you have been used."

An ominous premonition crept into Zhu Xiu's heart, and she asked Xu Ci. "What do you mean?"

Xu Ci said: "Yuan Xiaobing wants to blame you. He has already planned it."

·

On Baiyun Mountain.

The suitcase that appeared inexplicably and disappeared strangely was finally salvaged.

Qi Zang put on his gloves and ran over. It didn't take long before he saw a small piece of fabric hanging from the zipper of the suitcase, like the trace left by some kind of fabric being caught by the zipper.

Bai Shuwei walked up to him, squatted down, and said seriously: "Boss, this...couldn't this be a silk scarf? Zhu Xiu always wears such a silk scarf around her neck!"
