crime scene please keep quiet

Chapter 267

Cheng Ruo had an accident at the end of business at night. At that time, it was only her, the clerk and two customers who came to pick up the cake. When she had the accident, the clerk was finishing the cake while the two customers were drinking soda While looking at the book and waiting beside.

The accident happened very suddenly, and so did the death.

Later, the clerk and the two customers were taken away by the police and questioned several times. All three confessed the same, and Lao Cheng also interrogated them in private. All three confirmed that it was indeed an accident.

Old Cheng was naturally unwilling to believe this conclusion.

He hoped to join the investigation, but because he was a family member of the victim in the case, and the principle of avoidance was followed during the investigation, he could not participate in the investigation, and because the facts at the time were clear and consistent with the scene of the accident, and the three witnesses at the scene gave the same testimony, The case quickly ended unexpectedly.

Judging from the investigation data of the police at that time, there is really no need to restart the investigation of this case, because the facts are too clear.

However, Lao Cheng has investigated and visited the neighbors and shop owners on that street over the past few years and found that before Cheng Ruo's accident, at least five shop owners witnessed her answering the phone at the door of the shop, walking around, They looked anxious, as if they were arguing.

Cheng Ruo’s PHS has always been kept by the old Cheng, and he charges it every day. When he thinks about Cheng Ruo, he takes it out to have a look. The call Cheng Ruo answered before the accident was from Zheng Rong, and the call time was 15 Minutes, the couple have had at least four phone calls a day since they fell in love, usually 10 minutes in the morning and noon, and less than 15 minutes in the evening. Before going to bed at night, even if they just separated, they would talk for more than two hours.

After getting married, Zheng Rong also called three or four times a day, and the duration basically remained the same. The call at night would only be resumed when he was on a business trip. Otherwise, both of them would spend those two hours for supper, or Watch a movie together at home.

Three days before Cheng Ruo's accident, Zheng Rong went out of town. In addition to the four calls that couldn't be reached every day, there were several more calls between four and five minutes in length. According to Zheng Rong's past behavior From his habit, he infers that he must have gone to an interesting place for making so many phone calls. Every time he sees something interesting, he will call to share it with her.

If it weren't for the point of 'answering the phone at the door of the store and suspected of arguing' mentioned by the shop owners together, Lao Cheng would not have suspected Zheng Rong even if he died.

"But old Cheng..." Lin Annan couldn't bear to say, "Your own investigation data also show that Zheng Rong became depressed after Cheng Ruo's accident. He quit his decent job at the time, started smoking and drinking, and had no relationship with him after that. Others have not married until now."

Old Cheng nodded: "That's true. He was not married. About ten years later, his cousin divorced, and the husband and wife fought for the custody of the son. No one wanted the daughter, so he adopted his niece and named him Zheng Siruo. .”

"Si Ruo is 15 years old now, and she will graduate from high school next year. She is also very close to us. After Ruoruo passed away, the Cheng family and the Zheng family have been in contact with each other. Zheng Rong asked Si Ruo to call us grandpa and grandma. They will come over to have dinner with our husband and wife."

Lao Cheng turned his face away: "I don't want to doubt him, but...why did he argue with Ruoruo on the phone? After the fight, did he ask someone to do anything in the store? Why did Ruoruo just fall like that?" To the fish tank?"

Old Cheng's suspicions were all based on his own imagination. The testimonies provided by the five street shop owners who confirmed that Cheng Ruo had quarreled with someone on the phone before his death could only prove that before the incident, Cheng Ruo and Zheng Rong might have A certain incident had a different meaning, so there was a few quarrels, and Zheng Rongyuan was in the northeast, and the three people present at the time had no motive for committing the crime. Even if he remotely controlled the victim, someone had to help him carry it out.

Lin Annan glanced at Lao Cheng, and pulled Wen Yan aside: "Awen, Lao Cheng must be a little stubborn. There may be no need to go back to this case. Do you think I rejected it for you or—"

"No need to refuse." Looking at the white hair on Lao Cheng's head, Wen Yan sighed, and closed the thick information book, "He has a predestined relationship with the 'Fourth Dimension'."

"You, you mean—"

"Even if Cheng Ruo's death was an accident, there should be another story. The reason why she couldn't tell is because she didn't understand why she died." Wen Yan said, "I'll take this case."

Lin Annan also said: "Old Cheng's wife passed away two years ago, he sold the house, and now he may not have 2 yuan in his pocket. Ah Wen, he may not have anything that can be traded with 'Fourth Dimension'."

"Who said no?"

Wen Yan walked towards Lao Cheng: "Old Cheng, I've accepted Cheng Ruo's case, but you need to exchange your most precious things with me."

Lao Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, and took out a washed-white doll from his backpack: "This is Ruoruo's favorite toy, and it was bought by her mother. She sleeps with her in her arms every night. Afterwards, she brought it to her new house, and she had to hug it to sleep at night. This is a daughter’s longing for her mother. I took it out, and I think Ruoruo agreed with her.”

"it is good."

Wen Yan took the things and put them in the cabinet with great care: "The specific time of Cheng Ruo's death."

"April 2002, 5."

In 2002, there was no concept of 520 Valentine's Day. For most people, it was an ordinary working day.

The business hours of 'Ruoruo Cake Bar' are 07:30. During the first three months of the cake shop's opening, Cheng Ruo got up at five o'clock every day, arrived at the shop on time at six o'clock, made all kinds of bread, and at seven o'clock the students started When she was in school, her shelves were basically full. After five months, she paid back the cost and hired two shop assistants. After that, she delayed her arrival at the store until 10:30.

Usually she sleeps until around 09:30, and she won't get up until Zheng Rong calls to wake her up. Today, for some reason, she couldn't fall asleep anyway, and woke up before seven o'clock.

She washed a corn, a sweet potato and an egg and steamed them in a steamer. While waiting, she went to the yard to water the flowers.

Her and Zheng Rong's wedding house is the first garden-style villa complex in Jiangzhou. The house she lives in is a duplex, and there is only a half-meter-high anti-theft net separated from the next door.

Next door lives an elderly couple and their son who just graduated from college, and they are very easy to get along with.

When Cheng Ruo was watering the flowers, the neighbor next door was also watering the flowers. The two said good morning to each other, and chatted about growing flowers for a few minutes. The old lady warmly invited her to have breakfast at home. After Cheng Ruo declined, the other party could not help He brought her two handfuls of green vegetables.

"I just picked it this morning. It's fresh. It just grows in this field. It doesn't have any pesticides. It's sweet."

Cheng Ruo smiled: "Then I will accept it."

When I turned around, I sent three or four corns: "I bought it last night when the stalls were closed, and it was sold by an old woman from a village. I think the appearance is not as good as the ones in the supermarket, but I peeled two corns and ate them. The taste is still good." It's very sweet, so I wrapped it up for her, I can't eat that much by myself, Aunt Yang, you can help me share some, otherwise it will be ruined."

The two came and went, and stood there chatting for a while, and after a while, Aunt Yang's son Yang Xichen came running back.
