Chapter 43 Old Classmates

At this time, Zhang Haisheng kept frowning deeply, probably thinking in his mind for a while, after the police came, what should he say to clear up the suspicion... Song Jiang was furious when he saw it, so he pulled Meng Zhe was ready to go home.

When Zhang Haisheng saw that the two were about to leave, he quickly stopped them and said, "Don't go back, the police will come later and you need to explain to me and the police!"

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhe said in a cold voice after hearing this, "Our testimony can't remove your suspicion. After all, your wife has been dead for how many days, but we just moved back yesterday... If we tell the police If there are too many, it will arouse the suspicion of the police.”

After Meng Zhe finished speaking, he didn't wait for Zhang Haisheng to speak, and walked out of Zhang's house. Seeing this, Song Jiang quickly followed back, ignoring the bewildered Zhang Haisheng behind him.

As soon as the two entered the house, Song Jiang said angrily, "This Zhang Haisheng must have two minds. What is busy with work and what to socialize is actually an excuse! It is nothing more than a long time and no love, but the relationship between the two And there are responsibilities, so I always find one or another excuse and refuse to go home."

After hearing this, Meng Zhe said in a deep voice, "That monster that eats human souls will not find Zhang Shiting for no reason, and... I don't believe that it can stop after eating a human heart."

After hearing this, Song Jiang was surprised and said, "You mean someone will be killed after Zhou Shiting?!"

Meng Zhe nodded and said, "Zhang Shiting may not be the first one, and he certainly won't be the last one, so we must find that thing as soon as possible."

The two were talking when they heard a knock on the door. Song Jiang went to open the door and found that his old classmate Wu Lei and a strange man with sharp eyes were standing outside the door...

Wu Lei said with a strange face after seeing Song Jiang, "Jiangzi? You...why do you live here?!"

Song Jiang didn't expect that the policeman who appeared on the scene turned out to be his high school classmate Wu Lei, so he said awkwardly, "I...I live here because, because my house...yes, my house has been renovated these days, So I stayed at my friend's house for a few days."

As soon as Wu Lei heard this, he stepped forward and punched Song Jiang in the chest, and said with some blame, "Why didn't you tell me that you don't have a place to live? My house in the urban area has always been empty!"

Meng Zhe saw that the tone of their conversation seemed to be very close, so he coughed lightly on purpose. After hearing this, Wu Lei immediately remembered that he still had business to do, so he smiled and said to Song Jiang, "This is the captain of our serious crime brigade. Shao Jun, I'm here to talk to you two about the situation next door."

After hearing this, Song Jiang shook hands with Shao Jun and said, "Hi Captain Shao, I am Wu Lei's old classmate, and this is my friend Meng Zhe. Don't stand at the door, sit and chat inside."

After Wu Lei and Shao Jun were seated, Shao Jun took the lead and said, "Mr. Zhang next door reported that his wife Zhang Shiting died at home, saying that the body was discovered together with the two of you?"

Song Jiang thought for a while and said, "That's right... To be honest, we don't know what happened to their house, because we just moved back yesterday, and as soon as we came back, we smelled a bad smell in the corridor. No one opened the knock on the door next door, so I had to wait until night to block Zhang Haisheng who was coming home from work, and then found his wife died at home, and the body was already smelly."

After hearing this, Shao Jun asked, "Do you both know the deceased Zhou Shiting?"

Of course Song Jiang didn't know each other anymore, he shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before..." Then he looked at Meng Zhe and said, "Have you known each other before?"

Fortunately, Meng Zhe wasn't as straightforward as he usually was when talking to Song Jiang, so he nodded and said, "I know...but I'm not familiar with it, basically I haven't actively talked to him."

Song Jiang was afraid that Meng Zhe's words would reveal too much, so he deliberately changed the subject and said, "Wu Lei, isn't the current state of that corpse a giant view?!"

"Ah?! Uh... that's right." Wu Lei didn't expect Song Jiang to ask such a question suddenly, and he hesitated a bit.

Because after all, with his superiors present, Wu Lei certainly couldn't say whatever he wanted with Song Jiang as usual, and then he took the initiative to explain to Shao Jun, "This old classmate of mine is an Internet writer, so some From time to time, I will ask some autopsy questions as material..."

Shao Jun didn't seem to mind this, and said to Song Jiang with great interest, "Well, can you talk about your thoughts on this case from a creative perspective..."

How did Song Jiang know that the other party was trying to trick him, so he said bluntly, "If you follow the routine of suspense novels, there must be another mystery behind Zhou Shiting's death, and her husband also has problems. His wife has been dead for so many days. He didn’t know at all?! Logically speaking, he must be the most suspected. Of course, the specific situation depends on the cause of death of the deceased. I took a look at the corpse just now, and there was no obvious trauma on the surface. So I speculate that Zhang Shiting either suffered a sudden illness or was poisoned to death. But one thing is certain, no matter what the cause of her death is, Zhou Shiting couldn't have committed suicide."

"Why did you say that?" Shao Jun asked with a smile.

Song Jiang shrugged and said, "It's not easy. Just look at Zhou Shiting's clothes. If a woman wants to commit suicide, she will definitely dress herself up carefully instead of dying on the bed in her pajamas."

After hearing this, Shao Jun nodded and looked at Wu Lei and said, "It seems that you often talk to Writer Song about your work!"

As soon as Wu Lei heard it, he quickly explained, "Captain Shao, I only tell him some common sense of forensic science, and I never talk about things in the case casually."

Only then did Song Jiang realize that he might have said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly explained, "Yes, yes, I usually pester Wu Lei to find inspiration for writing, and he never tells me about his work!"

It's a pity that the explanations of the two didn't seem to have much effect. Shao Jun simply didn't want to continue to pursue this issue, but got up and said, "It's too late, let's go here first, we still have a lot of work to do on site. Afterwards, what clues do you think about the case, I hope you can actively cooperate with our police investigation."

"It must be. Don't worry, Team Shao. Based on my relationship with Wu Lei, I will definitely know everything and say everything." Song Jiang said with a smile.

When sending the two out, Wu Lei suddenly pulled Song Jiang aside mysteriously and said, "What's your relationship with that Meng Zhe? Either he lives in your house or you live in his house?!"

"Friendship? Why do you ask that?!" Song Jiang said in surprise.
