Detective Files II

Chapter 271 Open the skylight and speak eloquently

"How awkward it sounds! I still feel that you are scolding me at all!" Tian Mi protested and clarified by the way, "He said he had something to do, so he hurried downstairs, but don't ask me about him I don't know what to do in such a hurry."

I thought that these two gossip kings would definitely ask questions again, but I didn't expect that when she said that Lu Xiangdong was going to handle private affairs, Tian Yang and Mo Dou immediately exchanged a clear look, and didn't say anything else.

If this reaction was placed on others, Tian Mi might choose to ignore it directly, but it is obviously wrong to put it on these two people.

These two "pig-like teammates" used to be as enthusiastic about their affairs with Lu Xiangdong as the paparazzi and celebrities, but today they are so calm, there must be ghosts inside.

"After all, do you guys know something that I don't?" The more Tian Mi watched, the more suspicious these two people became.

Tian Yang spread his arms and looked innocent: "Don't be kidding, you are so smart, what can you hide from you!"

"That's right!" Mo Dou agreed, "Besides, don't guess what a man's mind is about a woman!"

"I'm too lazy to talk to you two!" Tian Mi always felt that something was wrong. These days, her intuition told her that in the entire serious crime team, it seemed that men were operating something in private, but she, the only woman, was the only one in the dark. inside.

Thinking of this, she suddenly became vigilant: "Hey! What do you mean by 'Don't guess what men worry about women'? Are you playing tricks? Do brothers also have a part in this matter? You are hiding it from me, yes? Are you afraid that I will make a small report with Sister Jiayi?!"

"Okay, stop guessing! We won't do anything to damage Brother Feng's image as a good man! Aren't we going to find Gui Xiuqin's poker friends? Let's go! I'll go with you!" Tian Yang Pushing Tian Mi out of the door, he turned his head behind her and glared at Mo Dou.

Mo Dou grinned guiltily.

Went with Tian Yang to find Gui Xiuqin's poker friend, Tian Mijing was asked this and that by him along the way, and chatted about a bunch of irrelevant things, so she had no time to interrogate the sneaky "conspiracy" of a few people. What.

At the appointed meeting place, Tian Yang finally stopped chatting, and Tian Mi didn't have time to ask other questions.

Among Gui Xiuqin's two poker friends, one is about the same age as her, and the other is slightly older, probably in her 50s.

I don't know if it's because the two policemen in front of me didn't go out to take the record last time, so I feel strange, or because I retracted my confession before and now I'm called out again. After introducing and explaining the purpose of coming again, the two of them didn't speak, but just sat in silence.

"According to age, I should call the two aunts." After all, these two people are just witnesses, and they are elders in terms of age. Tian Mi said politely to them, "We want to know, after you played cards together that day , the exact time when Gui Xiuqin and Chi Jianhui left."

"We've already said it, so don't ask any more." The two poker players looked at each other, the younger one didn't say a word, and the slightly older one spoke first, with a somewhat embarrassed tone, "We usually talk to Gui Xiuqin plays mahjong, so it's considered acquaintance, not even an understanding, you don't have anything to ask us about her."

"Yeah," the older one said, and the younger one echoed casually, "We don't have any friendship with them. If I knew there was such a troublesome thing, I didn't even look for it to play cards. Why did she come here?"

Tian Mi could tell that these two women were trying their best to distance themselves from Gui Xiuqin, and they didn't want to be involved. Humans have such a habit of thinking, and they avoid everything that has anything to do with the public security law. And far away, no one wants to get involved.

It's just that now, after the incident of overthrowing the testimony, it may not be so easy for the two poker players to get rid of it.

"I know you don't necessarily know Gui Xiuqin very well, and I won't make things difficult for you." Tian Mi first expressed her understanding of what they said, and just when the two women were about to breathe a sigh of relief, she again The subject changed, "The main purpose of coming to you today is actually to ask why you suddenly overturned what you said in the transcript that day."

Just as the old poker player's nerves were relaxed because of the previous sentence, he tensed up again, and looked at his companion beside him in a slightly bewildered manner.

Compared with the older one, the younger player's personality seems to be more slippery. After listening to Tian Mi's words, the expression on his face did not change much, and he even turned a blind eye to his companion's eyes asking for help. , looking at the heart with the nose, keeping silent.

Both sides remained silent for a long time. Tian Mi asked Tian Yang what she meant with her eyes. Tian Yang was much more experienced than her, but she didn't feel too frightened by this situation. She raised her wrist to check the time, and said to the two women: "It's not a problem for us to sit so dry. It's probably too busy to listen to the noise outside. It's not easy for the two of you to think of anything. How about this! We came by car, and the two of you followed us. Let's go back to the Public Security Bureau, work in the office, be quiet, and slowly recall, how about it?"

"Then don't you need it?" The elder quickly refused, elbowing the companion beside him.

The young poker player couldn't keep silent either. He glanced at the people beside him with a little dissatisfaction, and said to Tian Yang, "Isn't it necessary? We've said everything we can think of, let alone go to the Public Security Bureau , even if you send us to the moon, you shouldn’t be able to remember it, but you can’t remember the same thing. It’s a waste of time to make a fuss.”

"Whether it's a waste of time or not is really hard to say now," Tian Yang still smiled, neither in a hurry nor annoyed, with no room for compromise in his attitude, "Didn't you say the wrong thing just because you couldn't remember?" ’, did you ‘remember’ again later! Humans, the brain can’t be compared with a computer, and it’s normal to remember inaccurately. If you recall more memories, you can always gain something new.”

Tian Mi took the opportunity to beat the side drums: "Yes, we still hope that you two can recall some details, after all, two lives are involved here."

"Human life? What human life?" The older woman immediately asked vigilantly.

Even after listening to Tian Yang and Tian Mi's words, there was a trace of nervousness in the expression that stopped making a sound. He stared at Tian Mi, waiting for her to continue.

Tian Mi just stopped at this moment, and instead of speaking clearly as the two expected, she fell silent as if nothing had happened.

You know, sometimes being completely unclear and completely clear is not a tormenting thing. The most fearful thing is to swallow half of what you say, and the listener seems to be hung in mid-air, unable to go up or down. Half understood, half confused, this state is the most worrying.

"What are you talking about two lives? Who died?" The older one was more timid, and he was the first to speak out after being bored for a while.

"Gui Xiuqin's husband and son."

"Ah?!" The older poker player looked surprised, his eyes widened as if they were about to pop out of their sockets, "Her husband and son died?! Why didn't she mention it?! When did it happen? "

"The night you played cards."

Tian Mi's answer caused the expressions of both women to change at the same time. The older one's lips had already started to tremble. Although the younger one didn't tremble, her expression was mournful, but she was just pretending to be calm.

"You are looking for us to find out the situation. Do you suspect that Gui Xiuqin killed her husband and child? Or is there some other reason?" The younger poker player hesitated for a while and asked tentatively.

"We are still unable to determine who the murderer is for the time being, so we need to collect evidence and exclude relevant personnel. Gui Xiuqin and the deceased are the closest relatives, so we must start the investigation from her, but based on your second With this testimony, her suspicion can be cleared to a large extent." Tian Mi said.

Tian Yang added by the way: "However, we have obtained a few photos through other means. The signs shown in the photos seem to be somewhat contradictory to what you said before. This is the main reason why we specially invited the two of you out today."

After hearing his words, the young poker player's face gradually turned pale, his eyelids drooped, and his eyeballs swung quickly and slightly from side to side, as if his heart was full of struggles.

The older woman's face was already ashen, she was silent for a while, then stood up abruptly, tugging at her companion's sleeve: "I have something to tell you."

After finishing speaking, I remembered that they were invited out by the police, so I quickly asked, "Can we two have a few words alone?"

Tian Mi looked at Tian Yang, and seeing that he had no objection, she agreed.

The two women got up and went out the door. Tian Mi couldn't hear their conversation clearly through a wall, and could only catch a few words with her fairly sensitive hearing.

The younger woman didn't say much throughout, and it sounded more like an accusation from the older woman than a conversation between two people.

"I just said that there will be no pie in the sky! That money is not so easy to get!"

"I don't care, this year's 1 yuan can't be used for a lifetime! I don't want to get into any big trouble because of this little money."

"It's a big deal and give it back to him!"

After a while, the two came back one after the other, and sat down in front of Tian Mi and Tian Yang again.

"Let's open the skylight and tell the truth!" Seemingly aware of the seriousness of the matter, the older woman no longer cared about her companion's face at this moment, and seemed to have made up her mind, "We lied before! When we first took notes To tell the truth, Gui Xiuqin and Chi Jianhui played cards with us until after nine o'clock but before ten o'clock and left together, the two of them have always been quite ambiguous, and those of us who played cards together know that."

"Chi Jianhui came to us before and gave us 1 yuan each, asking us to help cover up, saying that Gui Xiuqin caused a little trouble, and I was afraid that the relationship between the two of them would be pulled out because of this, so we We only helped, if we knew there was a human life involved, we would never do such a thing!" The younger woman followed suit.
