three desperate women

Chapter 61 Interrelated Coincidence

Hu Bingqing stared at the dispirited Gu Ruotong in disbelief.

"Who are you talking about?" Hu Bingqing still maintained that expression, that posture, she was really startled.

"Lu Zhiqiang." Gu Ruotong replied with a look of embarrassment, still leaning on the stainless steel handrail of the elevator with both arms.

The two returned to the living room of Hu Bingqing's house. She went to the kitchen and searched for a long time, and finally found a large box of milk in the refrigerator.

He took out two glasses from the cupboard and poured two more glasses.

She took a cup and handed it to Gu Ruotong who was sitting on the sofa and lost in thought.

"Why milk? I want Coke, iced Coke!"

"Iced milk can also calm down without Coke."

Gu Ruotong sighed lightly, and took it over: "Okay, cheers!"

Hu Bingqing sat on the sofa, and the two of them entered a state of blur simultaneously, relatively speechless.

Hu Bingqing was thinking in her heart: it was Lu Zhiqiang's child, and Li Tingting and Lu Zhiqiang had an affair.

This woman can do it, it's not easy!What kind of bloody TV series is this?
"Captain Gu, how much do you know? Is it convenient to disclose it?"

"Do you need me to reveal it? How do I remember that you have a capable person who can find out everything."

"That will cost money, a lot of money. Sister."

"Tch, then I'm not free either!

Besides, there are some things I can't say, which violate discipline. "

"You have violated many disciplines, do you need me to check on you?"

Gu Ruotong let out a long breath at her, rolled his eyes again, and squatted the glass on the coffee table.

"Lu Zhiqiang and Gu Xincheng used to be colleagues at the same police station, Gu Xincheng left first, and Lu Zhiqiang left later.

The two jointly established Chengzhi Law Firm and have cooperated for nearly 30 years.

During the Ching Ming Festival holiday, Lu Zhiqiang's driver reported to the police that Lu Zhiqiang was missing from his villa in Xishan Lake.

The responsible colleagues searched the entire villa, but did not find Lu Zhiqiang, nor did they find any clues.

Lu Zhiqiang returned home at around six o'clock the night before, and never left the house until he disappeared.

The next day, he didn't get up early for a morning run, nor did he show up at the gate of the villa on time. "

"The person disappeared? Fly away? Disappeared?"

"Later, the responsible police station asked the criminal police team for help, and I went to investigate the scene.

A spot of diluted blood was found at the junction of the bathtub and the floor, which was identified as human blood.

Finally, through DNA comparison results, it was determined to be Lu Zhiqiang's blood.

After re-examination, there was a little blood left on the inner wall of the sewer, which was very rare, and almost all of it was washed away by the disinfectant.

Therefore, I highly suspect that Lu Zhiqiang has been killed, but the body cannot be found.

"Has he no family?"

"There was a mother who fell into a coma on the second night of his disappearance, and died when the ambulance arrived.

There is a wife who has been separated for 20 years and has not divorced. She is a kindergarten teacher and has retired.

At the end of March, he stumbled and fell from a building. He had a history of heart disease and died after rescue efforts failed.

There is also a daughter, about 28 years old, who is an employee of a new media company. "

"In other words, Lu Zhiqiang found a lover who was as old as his daughter, and this lover was pregnant with a child."

"Well, almost."

"How can this be bloodier than TV dramas?"

"Hehe, help me straighten it out, I'm a mess now! Director Hu!"

"let me see"

Hu Bingqing stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, taking a sip of iced milk.

"No, I need a glass of red wine."

"Then I'll have a drink too, can I stay here at night?"

Hu Bingqing glared at Gu Ruotong who was full of anticipation, but said nothing, this shameless woman.

She ran to the wine cabinet, picked out a bottle of old red wine, found a corkscrew and decanter, and took two more wine glasses.

Hu Bingqing leaned on the sofa, supporting her forehead with one hand.

Gu Ruotong rested his chin on both hands and put his elbows on his two thighs for support.

The two looked at the sober wine on the coffee table, and became relatively silent again.

"Are you ready?" Gu Ruotong asked impatiently.

"Let me see, it's all right!" Hu Bingqing looked at his watch.

One person poured a glass, clinked a glass with each other, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Are Lu Zhiqiang and Gu Xincheng comrades in arms?"

"It doesn't seem to be the case, but they all served in the army and were transferred from the army. Gu Xincheng is a year earlier than Lu Zhiqiang."

Hu Bingqing took out her laptop, dug out the e-mail that she used to investigate Gu Xincheng, and looked at it carefully.

"Kindergarten teacher, do you think Lu Zhiqiang's wife is a kindergarten teacher?"

"Well, it's Principal Meng. We all went to that kindergarten when we were young."

"Meng Lijuan?"

"Well, how do you know? Have you checked Gu Xincheng?"

"Well, Meng Lijuan was Gu Xincheng's girlfriend before. They were in a relationship, but Lu Zhiqiang snatched them away? Do you know?"

"I seem to have heard my mother say that Gu Xincheng never forgets Meng Lijuan. This is why my mother insisted on divorce. She can't feel Gu Xincheng's love."

Gu Ruotong poured another glass of wine, swirled the glass, and took a sip.

"Then do you know why Gu Xincheng broke up with Meng Lijuan?"

"It seems that Gu Xincheng's family disagrees, I heard my grandma say it when I was young.

In order for them to sever their relationship, Gu Xincheng was forced to leave the police station.

Later, Lu Zhiqiang came to the same community police station and fell in love with Meng Lijuan and got married. "

"Then how did Meng Lijuan die?"

"After investigation and interviews, it was determined that she fell from a building by accident. She was sent to the hospital but was not rescued. She had severe coronary heart disease."

"Lu Zhiqiang and Meng Lijuan lived apart for 20 years, and they found Li Tingting, and the mistress was pregnant and wanted to be in charge.

The original partner Meng Lijuan fell to her death, then Lu Zhiqiang was killed, the mistress Li Tingting was forced to commit suicide and jumped off the building, and then Jiangnan disappeared..."

"You mean these things are all connected?"

"I don't know, but it's hard to say it's a coincidence!"

"Where do you start looking?"

"Well, I think how about we change our thinking? Let's start from the other side!"

"You mean Cha Lu Zhiqiang?"

"Yes!"

"Basically, the investigation is almost done."

"Tell me something I don't know!"

Hu Bingqing poured herself a glass of wine and sipped it slowly.

Gu Ruotong said slowly:

"On the night when Lu Zhiqiang returned to the villa, from 12:30 to [-]:[-], there was a half-hour power outage in the entire villa area for equipment maintenance.

So the surveillance video was missing for half an hour. I suspect that it was the half hour when someone knocked him unconscious and took him away, or he was killed and his body was taken away.

However, there is only half an hour to commit the crime, and it is basically impossible to complete it. However, if the murderer did it, it means that the murderer has been waiting at his home or nearby for an opportunity.

At that time, there were only his 84-year-old mother and a 40-year-old nanny at home.

I have seen a nanny who is thin and small. It is impossible to resist Lu Zhiqiang. He is 178 cm tall and weighs about 160 cm. For a nanny who is less than 160 cm, it is impossible.

There is really no clue at the moment, and a big living person just disappeared out of thin air. "

"Is there no other suspicious person?"

"It is said that we have questioned everyone in the entire Xishan Lake Property Management Company, and they all have alibi.

Her daughter has also investigated and has no feelings for his father.

We knew each other when we were young, but we separated when we were five or six years old, and we are not very familiar with each other now. "

"The only one who can doubt him now is Gu Xincheng."

"Yes, but there is no evidence of what he did, and no motive!"

"Hate for taking his wife?"

"How is that possible? Lu Zhiqiang only got together with Meng Lijuan after they broke up and left the police force.

Besides, the two broke up because the Gu family beat each other with a stick, and it had nothing to do with Lu Zhiqiang, so there was no need to kill people.

Also, if you want to kill them, kill them early, wait 30 years and then kill them?
If Gu Xincheng hated Lu Zhiqiang so much, why did he still cooperate with him for 30 years?

I don't think it makes sense. "

"Could Meng Lijuan's death be caused by Lu Zhiqiang?"

"After investigation, Meng Lijuan did meet Lu Zhiqiang a few days before her death, in Lu Zhiqiang's office at Zhicheng Law Firm.

This was explained by her daughter, because his parents often quarreled, and her daughter was afraid that her mother would suffer, so she broke in and took her away.

Her daughter said that on the day of the fall, Meng Lijuan was cleaning the windows on the fourth floor.

The community is monitored, and after verification, it was indeed an accidental fall.

He was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment in a timely manner, and died of a heart attack. "

"If it's not Gu Xincheng, then does Lu Zhiqiang have any other enemies?"

"I have investigated all social relations, and no suspicious person has been found so far."

"Where's Meng Qingshan?"

"Meng Qingshan? You mean Meng Qingshan of Dream Group?"

"Yes, I was also competing with Gu Xincheng in order to win over Meng Qingshan as a client.

I have met Meng Qingshan before, but I feel that Meng Qingshan has a good relationship with Lu Zhiqiang.

He once said that anyone who can find Lu Zhiqiang, whether dead or alive, will cooperate with him. "

"Oh?"

"But if they have such a good relationship, it's possible."

"We can't be preconceived, it seems that our next step is to investigate from Lu Zhiqiang.

Your capable person, can you use it?Lawyer Hu. "

"Are you giving money?"

"I don't have any money! I'm so poor!"

"Then why do I spend that money? I don't want to investigate the case!"

"You really don't want to know the truth?"

"No, it has nothing to do with me! I'm going to bed!"

After Hu Bingqing finished speaking, she planned to go into the bathroom in the bedroom to take a shower.

"Lawyer Hu, aren't you the goddess of justice? Can't you carry forward your style?
You also have a background in law, and you want to uphold justice.

You've already been involved, you can't act like nothing happened!
Three people have died, don't you want to find out the truth and avoid other casualties?

Hu Bingqing, Hu Fairy, Hu Goddess, please help me."

Holding the wine glass, Gu Ruotong followed her all the way until she closed the door, still talking.

"You can't be kidnapped morally! Captain Gu!"

Hu Bingqing locked the bathroom door, stood in front of the sink, and looked at herself in the mirror.

To be honest, she didn't know whether she should intervene in this matter, and she was a little conflicted.

She has little friendship with the people in this case. At most, Jiangnan and Li Tingting have worked with her, and Li Tingting is still a mistress who ruined her family.

This matter also involves his own daughter, although her daughter is just brushing aside, if he gets too involved, it will inevitably involve his family.

She turned on the faucet, letting the sound of splashing water cover up Gu Ruotong's murmurs.

After taking a bath, she didn't hear Gu Ruotong's voice anymore, she wrapped herself in a bathrobe and walked out of the bathroom.

At a glance, he saw Gu Ruotong who fell asleep without taking off his clothes on his big bed.

She rolled her eyes with disgust all over her face, but she still walked over to help Gu Ruotong take off her coat and shoes, and covered her with a quilt.

She gently closed the bedroom door and came to Bi Jing's room before his death.

The entire room has been repainted, and the furniture that can be moved has been replaced with brand new ones. There is almost nothing in it that belongs to Bi Jing.

She opened the drawer of the bedside table, and there was a red ring box inside.

Hu Bingqing sat by the bed and opened the ring box. It was a pair of wedding rings, which were made of pure gold.

That men's ring was the only thing Bi Jing kept by his side.

Bi Jing bought it after saving half a year of money after working. In fact, both of them seldom wear it.

Hu Bingqing seldom wears any jewellery, and neither does Bi Jing.

The two people once reached an agreement that the feelings are in their hearts, and some external things are just a form, and they are all for others to see, so the two do not require the other party to wear a wedding ring.

Hu Bingqing put the lady's ring on her ring finger, stretched out her finger, looked at her hand carefully, and finally put it back.

She turned off the lights and finally decided to go to sleep in her daughter's room.

Early in the morning, Hu Bingqing was woken up by the ringtone of her mobile phone, and she couldn't find her mobile phone after searching for a long time.

She had no choice but to get up angrily, walked to the living room, and looked for the location of the phone ringing.

The phone was still in the bag, she took it out and saw it was Jiang Yitian.

"What's the matter? Old Jiang.

is it serious?
okay, got it.

real or fake?Are you serious?
Ok.

I don't know, are you awake?
Oh, then you find a small rope, wrap it around her ring finger, and then find a ruler to measure it.

Then tell me, I will buy it when the store opens.

Where are the flowers?

Of course you need it!There must be a sense of ceremony.

OK, see you at noon. "

Hu Bingqing put down the phone and started screaming.

She didn't know that Gu Ruotong came over from behind, she was startled.

"Early morning, what are you shouting for?"

"Scared you to death!"

"Scared you awake, okay? Lawyer Hu. What's the matter?"

"A friend of mine is going to propose to my good friend. I'm so happy."

"Tch, I don't know, I thought you were going to be proposed."

"Why are you still here? Why don't you leave?"

Hu Bingqing glared at Gu Ruotong, who was lying on the sofa with her head tilted.

"Is there no breakfast?"

"Sister Zhang has something to do today, so I won't come to cook. I'm going to the mall to buy a diamond ring later."

"I'm so hungry! Is there anything else to eat? Can you go to my goddaughter's house to eat? I'll ask."

Gu Ruotong changed from sleepy eyes to bright eyes all of a sudden, got up suddenly and went to find the phone in his coat pocket.

"Who is your daughter-in-law? That's my daughter. You should be close."

"Fuck, no, I have to go back to the team, 23 misses."

"What's the matter?"

"You don't help anything, cold-blooded."

Gu Ruotong hurried back to Hu Bingqing's bedroom, got dressed, and left her house in a hurry.

Hu Bingqing also took the time to pack herself, drove the car very fast, and was the first to drive into the underground parking lot of the mall.

When she came to the jewelry counter, the tellers were still dancing and shouting.

"Excuse me, but I want to buy a diamond ring!"

Hu Bingqing stood in front of the team, waved her hand, and said with an embarrassed smile.

The store manager immediately came over with a smile and introduced several models.

She asked the store manager to arrange these models in a row, and she took photos and sent them to Lao Jiang.

She was waiting for a reply, so she told the store manager:

"Do you know where there is a flower seller around here?"

"There are none in this mall, maybe there are outside! But, can you order flowers online?"

"Ah? It's too complicated! Forget it."

"Have you chosen yet?"

"Wait a minute and see if I get a reply!"

Hu Bingqing opened WeChat, and Lao Jiang had already selected, measured the size, and sent the money.

But Hu Bingqing couldn't collect the money, and she didn't have WeChat payment.

"Shop manager, this model, this size."

"Okay, wait a minute, I'll pack it."

"Please tell me something."

"Okay, you say."

"How do you pay for the money in WeChat?"

"Let me see, ma'am, oh, you haven't bound your bank card yet, let me teach you."

With the help of the store manager, Hu Bingqing set up WeChat payment. After everything was done, she was ready to buy flowers.

However, in the end, with the help of the store manager, I ordered a bouquet of roses on the delivery app.

She was waiting in the store to send flowers, and she was a little excited after learning new skills.

Hu Bingqing drove to the school to pick up Jiang Yi and Qiu Nuoyi, and the three of them appeared together in the VIP ward on the top floor of the hospital, witnessing the moment of Jiang Yitian and Liu Yini's marriage proposal together!
Everyone was crying and laughing in excitement, Hu Bingqing felt happy for Ni Ni, this is the life Ni Ni should really live.

After sending her two children back to school, she drove to the law firm and sat in the office working on paperwork.

Lu Aisha made her a cup of tea and brought it in.

"Thank you, Elsa."

"It's okay, Director, the few cases in hand have basically been dealt with."

"Well, I heard what my senior sister said! Thank you for your hard work!"

"I should do it. Director, how is Jiangnan?"

"I don't know yet! Gu Ruotong discussed with me for a long time last night, but there was no result.

But Gu Ruotong said that Jiangnan should be more ominous than ominous. "

"Oh, what a pity."

"Aisha, do you think I should take care of this?"

"Aren't we always in charge?"

Hu Bingqing looked up at the young Lu Aisha.

Yes, I have already intervened.

The phone rang, and she opened WeChat, which was sent by Gu Ruotong, which said:

I found Jiangnan
