Tiger Police

Chapter 315 Money

Hu Pingtao said slowly: "If Zhang Yacui is still alive, then your inference is at least 70.00% likely, even if not completely true."

He paused: "The problem now is... Zhang Yacui died. She was in that car at the time. Even if she was leading all this behind the scenes, why did she get in that car? Knowing the danger, she took the initiative to get involved , this is completely unreasonable!"

Lu Xiaoxu took a deep breath: "At first I thought this case was very simple, as long as we spend a little more time to find out the truth. Now it seems..."

He shook his head and said nothing more.

Hu Pingtao comforted him with a smile: "You think too much. In fact, what Li Bowen said today has clarified many issues that were not clear before."

Lu Xiaoxu raised his head and looked eagerly: "What are you referring to?"

"The origin of all cases is the motive." Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Why did Yao Xinqiu have a convulsion in the middle of the night, because she knew, or it should be said that she knew more or less about all this."

"Why did Zhang Yacui go out of her way to have a relationship with Li Bowen? Of course it's not because of love, but largely because of money."

"If we look at whether these two things can be combined, the person we are looking for next is Yao Xinqiu."

Lu Xiaoxu asked: "You mean, she is an insider?"

Hu Pingtao replied: "Even if not, but with the relationship between Yao Xinqiu and Zhang Yacui, she must know some secrets."

Lu Xiaoxu is a man of action, he immediately stood up from his chair: "I will apply to arrest Yao Xinqiu now."

Hu Pingtao looked up at him, and quickly dissuaded him: "Why are you arresting her! She was just a little girl, she didn't kill anyone or set fire to her. I mean she knew something about the case, not that she was involved in it in any way. .And Chen Miaojun entrusted me to help Yao Xinqiu solve the problem. If you come here like this, you will screw things up."

Although Lu Xiaoxu was somewhat reckless, he still listened to other people's opinions.He sat back on the chair and asked, "You seem to have a plan?"

"Let's act separately." Hu Pingtao said earnestly: "First of all, you have to work hard, mainly to conduct investigations among students and teachers, and find out all the details that listed Xiaofeng Mountain as an outing attraction."

"Secondly: Although Guan Xinwei was injured and hospitalized, he still needs to be interrogated. Maybe we can dig out unexpected clues."

"Also..." At this point, Hu Pingtao hesitated.He obviously changed his tone: "I suggest you go to your police's technical department and obtain the scene investigation data of the car accident, including...the driver who was driving at the time...In short, reorganize it from beginning to end."

Lu Xiaoxu is a smart person, and he immediately heard the meaning hidden in Hu Pingtao's words.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and told the other side: "Do you doubt Uncle Xu?"

The school bus driver's name is Xu Yongde.

Hu Pingtao replied calmly: "I just think there is such a possibility."

The reason why he has some scruples about this is because of the close relationship between Lu Xiaoxu and Xu Yongde.

Lu Xiaoxu was slightly angry: "Uncle Xu is not that kind of person. I know him very well."

Hu Pingtao turned around and looked at him squarely: "I have no prejudice against anyone. But you... are a policeman first, and then you can talk about other things."

Lu Xiaoxu was a little sensitive: "Do you think I'm covering him up?"

"How can this be called covering up?" Hu Pingtao stood up with a smile, walked up to Lu Xiaoxu, and said friendlyly: "We all live in this world, no matter who dies, everyone has relatives and friends. You are a senior Inspector, the police rank itself is a recognition of your ability and qualifications. Since you said that Xu Yongde is fine, there must be your reasons."

Lu Xiaoxu's face softened slightly, but Hu Pingtao changed the subject: "We are all policemen, you should understand that personal emotions should not become an obstacle restricting investigation and judgment. Whether Xu Yongde has a problem or not is not yours alone. Forget it, but need more evidence.”

Lu Xiaoxu got a little angry: "I'll say it again: Uncle Xu is not that kind of person."

"I know." Hu Pingtao said calmly, "But if it's just this, it's not enough to convince me."

Lu Xiaoxu stood up with a "whoosh" and stared at Hu Pingtao with almost fire-breathing eyes: "What do you mean?"

Hu Pingtao looked at him, and slowly frowned: "Why, do you think I'm targeting you?"

Without waiting for Lu Xiaoxu to answer, Hu Pingtao spread his hands with an innocent expression on his face: "I am not from Hong Kong City, nor do I live here. Whether it is work or life, I will never interact with you, let alone threatening."

"I repeat, this time I was entrusted by someone to help investigate the cause of Yao Xinqiu's midnight convulsions. I didn't expect to get involved in a car accident because of this, let alone digging clues from you to intentionally kill someone."

"I don't know Xu Yongde. Before that, I hadn't even heard the name of this person."

"No matter what you think, I only have one request—be rational, stay awake at all times, and don't let your subjective consciousness be dominated by personal emotions, thereby interfering with correct judgment."

As he spoke, Hu Pingtao took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it over, and said with a smile, "This is a cigarette from Yunnan Province, here's one."

For men with common hobbies, cigarettes are the best glue to eliminate conflicts.

Lu Xiaoxu's face was gloomy. He took the cigarette and subconsciously took out the lighter, but he was not in a hurry to light it.He stared at Hu Pingtao, with guarded eyes in his eyes, and said bluntly, "Tell me what you think about this case."

Hu Pingtao looked at him for a moment, then turned around and approached the alloy cabinet on the side of the room, picked up a large tea tray with cups, coffee, kettle and other objects from the cabinet, and returned to the desk.

Picking up two glass cups and one porcelain cup, they placed them on the table in order. Hu Pingtao pointed to the two glasses and explained: "This is Yao Xinqiu, and this is Zhang Yacui."

He turned his fingers and pointed at the porcelain cup: "This is Li Bowen."

Hu Pingtao picked up a box of sugar cubes from the tea tray and placed them around the three cups: "This is the school bus that got into the accident."

He picked up another teapot and placed it far away on the table: "This is Xiaofeng Mountain."

Attracted by his movements, Lu Xiaoxu stuffed the cigarette into his mouth and held it silently. Following Hu Pingtao's explanation, he couldn't help thinking.

"Yao Xinqiu and Zhang Yacui are best friends. Although Yao Xinqiu was lured by Zhang Yacui to work in an adult chat room for a period of time because of money problems, and because Li Bowen was seduced by Zhang Yacui, the two fell out, but Zhang Yacui took the initiative to find Yao Xinqiu to explain, so Reconciled."

"On the surface, Zhang Yacui is the real third party. You heard the interrogation of Li Bowen just now. The relationship between Zhang Yacui and him is not out of love, not even liking, but purely for money."

"Li Bowen's family background is very good. The total property value of his parents exceeds tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. In the eyes of billionaires, they are not really rich, but in the eyes of poor people, this is something that they cannot afford in their entire lives earned money."

"Among the three of them, Zhang Yacui's family situation is the worst. She is really poor, and the relationship between her parents is also very bad."

"According to the current situation, we can make the following judgments—the reason why Zhang Yacui planned a series of actions against Yao Xinqiu is to get Li Bowen."

Lu Xiaoxu nodded: "She got her wish."

Hu Pingtao looked up at him approvingly, and continued to analyze: "But there is no love between Zhang Yacui and Li Bowen. The reason why she did this is because Li Bowen's family is rich. If the two people maintain the relationship at that time, after graduation There is a high probability that she will get married, and Zhang Yacui will be able to enter a higher social class through Li Bowen."

"But they broke up anyway."

"The reason is simple, for money."

Hu Pingtao raised his head, and his tone became a little erratic: "Judging from Zhang Yacui's previous actions towards Yao Xinqiu, she is scheming and good at planning. But since Li Bowen has become her prey, why did she fall out with him? "

Lu Xiaoxu retrieved memories from his mind: "Zhang Yacui has been asking Li Bowen for money."

Hu Pingtao immediately picked up his words: "And the amount is quite large. Do you remember what Li Bowen said during the interrogation——Zhang Yacui often asked him for money, and he asked for three or five thousand. Li Bowen didn't have a job, and the economy The source can only rely on his parents. To put it bluntly, he gave Zhang Yacui with his own pocket money. After a long time and too many times, he couldn't hold it at all."

"You have read Yao Xinqiu's diary. On the eve of the outing, Zhang Yacui took the initiative to find Yao Xinqiu and confessed her and Li Bowen's affairs. At the same time, she confessed to Yao Xinqiu and asked for forgiveness."

"When I saw this in my diary, I just felt creepy—how old is Zhang Yacui! She is in the fourth year of middle school this year, and she is only fifteen or six years old. But she has such a high emotional intelligence. The consideration is also very thoughtful, it is really terrible."

Lu Xiaoxu frowned, and asked puzzledly: "I think it's normal! Zhang Yacui and Yao Xinqiu used to be best friends, and they had a good relationship. Later, Zhang Yacui didn't like Li Bowen, so she turned around and confessed to Yao Xinqiu. There's nothing wrong with her!"

Hu Pingtao shook his head and said seriously: "This is what makes Zhang Yacui so scary."

"If you think about it carefully, she lured Yao Xinqiu to become interested in the Lolita theme, and then for a set of skirts, Yao Xinqiu had the idea of ​​"buy it even if you betray yourself."

"Yao Xinqiu's family education is very strict, but even so, she is willing to go to work in a place like an adult chat room. Fortunately, she woke up later and got out in time."

"Even so, Zhang Yacui achieved her goal and snatched Li Bowen from Yao Xinqiu."

Hu Pingtao stared at Lu Xiaoxu, and said slowly: "Let's put ourselves in the shoes, if the same thing happens to you, you will accept that you have betrayed you, snatched away your most beloved man, and almost ruined your reputation , the one who put you in a place of eternal doom?"

"Although she used to be your best friend, the relationship is very close, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a sister."

Lu Xiaoxu folded his hands, staring at the three cups on the table, lost in thought.

Hu Pingtao tapped the glass representing Zhang Yacui with his finger: "Anyway, I will not forgive this kind of person, and it is impossible to say anything. Who can guarantee that she will continue to plot against me in the future? Mouth He said it nicely, and kept saying "I was wrong", but he still didn't change it afterward, and still treated me like a fool and a fat sheep, slaughtered me fiercely, maybe even ruined my family."

Lu Xiaoxu expressed doubts about this: "It shouldn't be that serious! They are all little girls. Although Zhang Yacui is shrewd, she can't be so bad!"

Hu Pingtao shook his head and smiled, and asked, "Why do you think Zhang Yacui took the initiative to find Yao Xinqiu and restore their previous relationship?"

Lu Xiaoxu didn't know and went in: "Why?"

Hu Pingtao casually picked up the file bag on the table: "The answers are all written in Yao Xinqiu's diary."

Lu Xiaoxu's eyes focused on the file bag, and he thought hard to search deep in his memory: "Yao Xinqiu's diary...she didn't mention anything about it!"

"You forgot an important factor—time!"

Hu Pingtao explained: "Think carefully, under what circumstances did Zhang Yacui take the initiative to find Yao Xinqiu and confess her relationship with Li Bowen?"

Lu Xiaoxu thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and patted his forehead, suddenly realized: "I remembered, it was before Li Bowen was beaten."

Hu Pingtao continued to enlighten: "Why did Zhang Yacui find someone to beat Li Bowen?"

"Because Li Bowen refused to give her money." Lu Xiaoxu's mind suddenly cleared up, and he nodded excitedly: "I understand! I understand! Zhang Yacui's attitude towards Yao Xinqiu and Li Bowen is the same—only for money. "

"The reason why she likes Li Bowen is because she wants to benefit from him. But Li Bowen is still underage, and his parents are strict with him. He can't get too much money from his family, so he can't meet Zhang Yacui's request. Zhang Yacui learned from Li Bowen I can't squeeze too much oil from my body, so I feel that we should restore the relationship with Yao Xinqiu. After all, Yao Xinqiu is a woman, easy to talk, as long as Zhang Yacui can get understanding, Zhang Yacui can continue to have a deep friendship with her."

Hu Pingtao smiled approvingly: "If Yao Xinqiu's family background was average, Zhang Yacui would not do this either. This is a typical gambler's mentality: as long as you maintain a close relationship with a friend with a superior family background, you may be able to use it at any time in the future." .”

Lu Xiaoxu understood this, and said in a low voice, "Like Chen Miaoyun and Guo Lingyu?"

It is inconvenient for Hu Pingtao to express his opinion directly: "...It is considered!"

He immediately made a conclusion: "In the final analysis, Zhang Yacui's series of actions back and forth are all for money."

Lu Xiaoxu also had doubts: "She is a girl of fifteen or six years old, what does she need so much money for?"

Hu Pingtao said: "This is the focus of our next investigation."

Lu Xiaoxu expressed his understanding, and at the same time asked a question: "But you said before...Uncle Xu...he has a problem?"
