I am a super cop

Chapter 2637 Fear of heights
In the coffee shop, Zhang Qing's sudden reaction caught everyone's attention. But just when everyone was about to continue asking questions, the waitress came over with coffee.

"Sister Zhang, your coffee."

"OK, thanks."

After delivering the coffee to everyone, Gao Hu continued to ask: "What's so strange about Xu Tianxia?"

"Maybe ordinary people can't see the abnormality." Zhang Qing took a sip of coffee and said:

"But Xu Tianxia and I are quite familiar with each other. When we were having dinner and chatting that day, I did feel that Xu Tianxia was a little absent-minded."

"What do you mean?" Seeing Zhang Qing looked thoughtful, Gu Chen continued to ask.

Zhang Qing hesitated for a moment before continuing:

"I just remember that when we were having dinner that day, Xu Tianxia told me some inexplicable things."

"That's right. He said that if he were no longer around one day, he wondered if there would still be anyone in this world who would miss him or something like that."

"I laughed at that time and said, don't you have another daughter, Xu Yaxuan?"

"He said his daughter wasn't close to him and was hesitant when speaking."

"I noticed that he seemed to have some conflicts with his daughter. He must be feeling a little depressed. After all, at that time, his daughter Xu Yaxuan was about to take the college entrance examination."

"It is said that girls at this age are more rebellious. I know his daughter Xu Yaxuan's personality. She is quite stubborn."

"Besides, as a motivational lecturer for the college entrance exams, Xu Tianxia has to cheer and encourage many college entrance exam students every year. If his daughter doesn't do well in the exam, he will lose face."

With a sigh, Zhang Qing slowly said, "Anyway, I feel like he doesn't seem to care much about his daughter."

"He went out to work very early, and his daughter became a left-behind child and has been boarding at school. How can they be kissed?" said He Qian on the side.

"That's right, you are right." After hearing what He Qian said, Zhang Qing nodded silently and continued to explain:

"He has been working outside to earn money. He really hasn't taken care of his daughter for so many years. But, this doesn't mean anything, does it?"

"But during that meal, I saw a hint of sadness in his eyes."

"A faint... a faint sadness? What is Xu Tianxia sad about?" Lu Weiwei expressed her confusion.

"Oh." Looking at Lu Weiwei's curious expression, he thought of the fact that everyone had previously gone to find Xu Tianxia's daughter Xu Yaxuan to find out the situation.

So Zhang Qing also sighed and said helplessly: "In fact, her daughter Xu Yaxuan has a big prejudice against me."

"Maybe she thinks I have a straightforward personality and can get along well with many men, so she doesn't like women like me."

"And you may not know that her father Xu Tianxia and I were classmates in elementary school, and we have had a very good relationship since we were young."

"He was also interested in me. It was because his family was not well off that I didn't choose to be with him."

"So Xu Tianxia is also a person with low self-esteem. He feels that if he wants to be with me, he must make a career."

"He felt that if he was successful in his career, then being with me would be a natural thing to do."

"So what?" Yuan Shasha was also curious when listening to Zhang Qing's explanation.

"Haha." Zhang Qing laughed dryly and continued:

"So, Xu Tianxia has always been interested in me, but his daughter has always hated me, which has become a major obstacle for the two of us to be together."

Lying back on the chair, Zhang Qing picked up the coffee and took a sip before saying:
"So he was always conflicted and sometimes very sad. I can understand that. It's actually quite good that we can get along like friends for so many years."

"Besides, I'm divorced now. I can't live alone forever, right? I have to find a partner."

"So Xu Tianxia, ​​this coward, only cares about me but doesn't dare to ask me about marriage."

"But knowing that someone is pursuing me, he is unwilling to accept it."

"So this is what you said, Xu Tianxia's faint sadness?" After hearing this, Gu Chen roughly sorted out the complicated relationship between the two.

Combined with the information he had learned from Xu Yaxuan before, Gu Chen could clearly understand the importance of the matter.

After all, it is common knowledge that Zhang Qing has a bad reputation in her hometown.

If she was Xu Tianxia's daughter, Xu Yaxuan naturally didn't want Zhang Qing to become his stepmother.

However, during the communication with Xu Yaxuan, Gu Chen was able to discover that although Xu Yaxuan did not like Zhang Qing becoming his stepmother, he also felt sorry for his father Xu Tianxia, ​​who had raised her alone for so many years.

So as long as Xu Tianxia insisted, Xu Yaxuan would not object in principle, she was just being stubborn.

Face is no longer a big deal for a girl like her who grew up in a single-parent family.

At this time, Zhang Qing waved her hand and continued:

"I said that if ordinary people were chatting with each other, they might feel that Xu Tianxia was slightly sad because of his emotional problems."

"But I can see that his sadness doesn't come from this."

"What is that?" Officer Wang asked curiously.

"I'm not sure either." Zhang Qing leaned back in the chair, lifted her skirt, crossed her legs, and said:

"Can I have a cigarette?"

"Whatever." Originally, Gu Chen didn't like secondhand smoke, but now in order to know more about the situation, Gu Chen could only compromise.

"Thank you." Zhang Qing stood up and walked to the bar.

Soon, she returned to her previous seat with a lit cigarette between her legs and said:
"Oh yeah, where were we talking about?"

"When we talked about the sadness you felt for Xu Tianxia, ​​it was not the kind of sadness you thought it was." Lu Weiwei also quickly added.

"Oh, yes. Actually, I could tell that he seemed to have something important on his mind, and he seemed absent-minded the whole time he was having dinner with me."

"I don't know what he's worried about. But one good thing is that every time he has dinner with me, he turns off his cell phone."

"But even when we were eating, I always felt that his mind was not on chatting with me."

"Can you be more specific?" Gao Hu continued to ask after hearing this.

"Okay." After taking a puff of a lady's cigarette, Zhang Qing said:

"I feel that he came to Jiangnan City for business, maybe not just to see me, but for other more important things."

"No, wait a minute." As soon as Zhang Qing finished speaking, Officer Wang interrupted:

"You said that Xu Tianxia came to Jiangnan City to give a motivational speech to high school students, but he didn't come to see you specifically? What do you mean? Does that mean that Xu Tianxia has to choose which school to give a speech at?"

"That's for sure." Seeing that Officer Wang was not very clear about the rules and regulations, Zhang Qing quickly explained:
"In fact, the closer it gets to the college entrance examination, the more work he does. Sometimes, he has to go to two schools in one day."

"Sometimes, the two schools are not in the same city." "Where to go to make money depends on whether he wants to go, so at this time, for Xu Tianxia, ​​the choice is his."

Seeing everyone looking at her with curiosity, Zhang Qing said confidently:
"To be honest, the reason why Xu Tianxia chose to come to Jiangnan City to make money by giving speeches is entirely because I am here. He wanted to come and chat with me or something."

"But that time, I clearly realized from his eyes, as well as some of his words and actions, that he didn't come here to see me, but had another appointment."

"Maybe a business friend." Yuan Shasha said.

"No." As soon as Yuan Shasha finished speaking, Zhang Qing interrupted her with her hand:
"Absolutely impossible, because he called me in advance before coming here."

"But, during the dinner that day, I found that he was absent-minded the whole time, and the meal time was obviously much shorter than before."

Shaking his head and sighing softly, Zhang Qing continued:

"Logically speaking, you came here to see me. We finally got together to have a meal. You can't be so absent-minded."

"We often ate together before, but never like that time."

"Did you ask him?" Gao Hu asked.

"asked."

"What do you mean?" Gao Hu looked confused.

"Oh no!" Zhang Qing sighed softly, and sighed helplessly: "What else can I say?"

"He just said he was a little tired, but I..."

Halfway through her words, Zhang Qing seemed to feel that she had lost her composure, so she immediately changed her tone and continued:

"But I often meet and chat with different friends, and I can tell there's something wrong with his behavior."

"I feel like he's just using the excuse of coming to Jiangnan City to make money giving speeches and come to see me to do other things."

"Giving a speech was a cover, and meeting me was also a cover, but what he really wanted to do was something else."

With a sigh, Zhang Qing leaned back in the chair, took a puff of cigarette with an unpleasant look on his face, and sighed helplessly:

"I know. Although I have known him for many years, this time, I clearly felt that he was a strange person."

"I didn't think much about it at the time. I felt that he might have some things that were inconvenient to tell me."

"But you have to know that he has always told me everything since he was a child. He never hides anything from me because we have known each other since we were young."

"Wherever his eyes turn, I know what he's thinking."

"But this time, I suddenly felt for the first time that I didn't seem to be that familiar with him."

"I felt like nothing happened before, but I didn't know that you guys suddenly found me and said that he fell from the building..."

Having said this, it seemed to touch Zhang Qing's soft spot again. As Zhang Qing was speaking, she suddenly choked up again, and her voice began to become a little sad.

After sniffing, Zhang Qing also tried hard to wipe the tears from her eyes, and then she continued:
"In fact, I just can't figure it out. Why did he suddenly fall from the building?"

"Now that you've found me again, I feel like this might have something to do with his abnormal behavior last time."

Looking up at everyone, Zhang Qing said solemnly:

"I hope you can help me find out why Xu Tianxia fell from the building. I will tell you everything I know. I just need a result."

As she spoke, Zhang Qing's eyes immediately turned red.

Perhaps this childhood friend is like a part of her life.

From childhood to adulthood, Xu Tianxia has always been by her side.

To use a simple term, Xu Tianxia is actually a bootlicker, so Zhang Qing has become accustomed to the existence of Xu Tianxia, ​​the bootlicker.

But suddenly Xu Tianxia had other things to do and didn't tell Zhang Qing, and Zhang Qing immediately became sensitive.

After all, Xu Tianxia had no secrets from her, but she did not tell Xu Tianxia everything about herself.

But now that Xu Tianxia is dead, Zhang Qing is beginning to feel a little overwhelmed.

"Zhang Qing." Seeing Zhang Qing covering her face with her hands and seeming to be caught in sudden sadness, Gu Chen also reminded her.

Only then did Zhang Qing raise her head. Her eyeliner was already wet with tears, leaving two black tear marks on both sides of her eyes.

"Ah?" Zhang Qing echoed perfunctorily.

Gu Chen immediately asked again: "What did Xu Tianxia do after having dinner with you that day?"

"Nothing." Zhang Qing shook his head and sighed helplessly. He said he wanted to go back to the hotel. At that time, I felt that Xu Tianxia seemed a little abnormal.

"Then what is considered normal?" Lu Weiwei asked.

"You don't know." Zhang Qing sighed and said slowly:

"Every time we get together, after dinner, we go out for a walk, and he would even walk me home."

"But that time, he suddenly said he was a little tired and wanted to go back to the hotel to rest, and then he called a car for me."

"That day I felt like he was going to meet a woman, but he firmly denied it and said it was not the case."

With a light sigh, Zhang Qing tried to calm herself down and continued:
"Of course I believe he wouldn't lie to me. I feel like he really is a little tired. After all, he has to give speeches every day, so he might be really exhausted."

"But after that day, we had no contact again, and then you found me and said he was dead."

"I wonder why all this happened so suddenly? He was a perfectly normal person who was having dinner and chatting with you just now."

"Then, not long after, he fell to his death. What do you think he was doing on top of a tall building? He has been afraid of heights since he was a child. What do you think of him..."

"Wait a minute!"

As soon as Zhang Qing finished speaking, Gu Chen, Lu Weiwei, Officer Wang, Yuan Shasha, Gao Hu and He Qian said the word almost at the same time.

"You said Xu Tianxia is afraid of heights?" He Qian was the first to ask the question that everyone wanted to ask.

After a moment of stunned expression, Zhang Qing immediately nodded and agreed, "Yes, Xu Tianxia has been afraid of heights since he was a child. He is scared to death even when climbing a wall."

"My friends back home used to laugh at him for being timid, but he is indeed timid. He is afraid of heights, and he trembles easily when standing in high places. But how could he suddenly fall from a tall building?"

Zhang Qing almost asked all the questions that everyone wanted to ask.
