Detective Files II

Chapter 272
After talking with the two poker friends, Tian Mi basically got a clear idea of ​​what happened and the personalities of the two poker players.

The older one was obviously more honest and acted tremblingly, while the younger one was more opportunistic. At first, he refused to speak out for fear of offending others. After learning that someone was involved in a life lawsuit, he was afraid of being held accountable for perjury. The older ones are more knowledgable.

What is basically certain is that, according to the confessions of the two poker players, they did accept the favor fee from Chi Jianhui. They thought it was just to cover up people's eyes and ears, and they kept their mouths shut for fear of being exposed. He paid the money and changed his words to the police.

According to their recollection, Chi Jianhui and Gui Xiuqin's undercurrent is no longer a secret. Most of the people who usually play cards together feel the ambiguity between the two, but the parties don't make it clear, and others don't have much to say. It's just tacit understanding.

A younger poker player recalled that when she first discovered that the two were having an affair, it could be traced back to more than a year ago, but she was not completely sure.

After obtaining the evidence provided by the two poker players again, Tian Mi and Tian Yang found the other player who played cards with them that night, and with the previous harvest, they took down this person almost without any effort.

With the testimonies provided by the three people, Tian Mi was in a good mood, and Tian Yang returned to the Public Security Bureau. As soon as he entered the building, he saw Lu Xiangdong and Wang Chun walking out of the corridor side by side. In the corridor where people come and go, they didn't realize that Tian Mi was right behind them. When Tian Yang saw two people, he was about to say hello when Tian Mi stopped him.

"The two of you are talking, let's not disturb you." She said it calmly, but her eyes never left the backs of Lu Xiangdong and Wang Chun.

Tian Yang didn't say anything, just patted Tian Mi's shoulder, and followed her quietly without saying a word.

When they reached the stairs, Lu Xiangdong and Wang Chun stopped slowly. It seemed that Lu Xiangdong was about to go upstairs, and Wang Chun sent him to the stairs.

"Then we've made a deal! Then you won't be allowed to backtrack!" Wang Chun smiled brightly, an expression she rarely saw even before she was explicitly rejected by Lu Xiangdong.

Lu Xiangdong nodded to her, rarely put on a serious face: "Okay, it's a deal."

Turning around, Wang Chun saw Tian Mi and Tian Yang who were approaching, he was taken aback for a moment, then smiled awkwardly at Tian Mi, counting it as a greeting, and hurried away.

Lu Xiangdong also saw them at this moment, and stood down in the middle of the stairs.

"How? Did you get anything?" He asked.

Tian Yang thought that Tian Mi would answer, but after waiting for a few seconds, she didn't see any sign of her wanting to speak, so she was a little embarrassed: "Oh, I have gained something! It's not too young! Those three people who played cards together that night admitted it , I changed my words before because I took benefits from Chi Jianhui, and Chi Jianhui and Gui Xiuqin do seem to have some kind of ambiguous relationship."

Lu Xiangdong seemed to be expecting this answer, nodded to Tian Yang, and at the same time looked at Tian Mi, who was silent, and said nothing about her dull state, and didn't say anything else.

Fortunately, the three arrived at the office soon. Tian Yang seemed unable to bear the low pressure between the two of them. As soon as he entered the office, he hurriedly went to Mo Dou to ask him about the situation there, leaving Lu Xiangdong and Tian Mi behind.

Lu Xiangdong sat at the other end of the desk without saying a word, and looked at Tian Mi. At first, Tian Mi pretended not to notice this, but as time passed, she gradually became a little uncomfortable, sitting on her buttocks. Sitting on the chair, it seems to be sitting on a huge cactus. It is absolutely appropriate to describe it as sitting on pins and needles. She pretends to glance at Lu Xiangdong unintentionally, and every time she meets his gaze, Tian Mi feels uncomfortable all over her body. , at a loss to the extreme.

"What are you doing?" She finally couldn't help it.

Faced with Tian Mi's questioning, Lu Xiangdong spread his hands innocently, and did not speak, but showed a smile that might look brilliant to others, but was extremely strange in Tian Mi's eyes, got up and walked away.

As soon as he left, Tian Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and if he continued to stare at her, she would definitely go crazy.

Since seeing him and Wang Chun walking together just now, Tian Mi felt an awkward feeling in her heart. When she got up, she had nothing to associate with Lu Xiangdong and Wang Chun. Since she and Lu Xiangdong were not long However, through very frequent contact and understanding, Lu Xiangdong is definitely a person with a very hard ear, and the decisions he makes will never change.

So after he rejected Wang Chun's pursuit without hesitation, Tian Mi didn't think he would make a 180-degree turn in a short period of time.

But after Wang Chun embarrassingly avoided Lu Xiangdong for so long, the two of them suddenly appeared side by side today, still looking like they were having a happy conversation, it was hard for Tian Mi not to feel weird.

Moreover, seeing Wang Chun by Lu Xiangdong's side, Tian Mi would have a very subtle feeling in her heart, as if a fly was buzzing around the delicious snack she had always wanted.

Thinking of this, Tian Mi couldn't help laughing, shaking her head, feeling that her comparison was a bit too much.Wang Chun did plot against herself, and even if she confessed afterwards, she did not continue to sabotage, so even if she was a "rival in love" who fell in love with the same man, she would not be so bad as to be treated like a fly.

Perhaps, a more appropriate analogy should be like this - Lu Xiangdong is like a low-key but expensive dress, which neither he nor Wang Chun can afford, so he can only drool outside the window from time to time.

But seeing Wang Chun appearing outside the window, Tian Mi still couldn't help worrying whether she would suddenly save enough money one day.

Tian Mi sat at the table and thought wildly, until Tian Yang, Mo Dou and Lu Xiangdong walked in.

As soon as Mo Dou entered the door, he greeted Tian Mi: "Tian Mi, you have made a great contribution this time! The photo found in Qi Bing's camera was enlarged and processed, and indeed a taxi's license plate was obtained from it. I found the taxi company that the car belonged to based on the vehicle registration. It was not far from our place. I went there and found the driver who drove the late bus that night. I showed him the photo. According to the driver’s confirmation , It was indeed he who drove Gui Xiuqin and Chi Jianhui that night, and the destination was a residential area around ten o'clock in the evening. I checked the address after I came back, and it was the same as the address on Chi Jianhui's household registration!"

"Great! The lie has been completely exposed, let's see how they deny it now!" Tian Mi clapped her hands happily, "I'll call Gui Xiuqin immediately!"

"Okay, I'm in charge of calling Chi Jianhui, remember, don't let them know that the other party has also been called to the Public Security Bureau!" Tian Yang urged.

"Got it! I know it!" Tian Mi nodded and went to the side to make a phone call.

"Great, maybe this will be a very important breakthrough!" Mo Dou was gearing up and excitedly said to Lu Xiangdong, "If it is true that Gui Xiuqin and Chi Jianhui's affair is true, then these two people will There is enough motivation to attack Wu Liang and his son!"

Lu Xiangdong didn't seem to agree with this point of view, but he didn't say anything, his face was expressionless, his eyebrows were raised, and he didn't speak.

"What's the matter? Don't you agree with Mo Dou's opinion?" After finishing the phone call, Tian Mi took the time to ask Lu Xiangdong's opinion.

"It can't be said," Lu Xiangdong replied speciously, "sometimes the method of dismembering the corpse is to make it easier to dispose of the corpse without being discovered. However, the corpses of Wu Liang and his son were not hidden in a very hard-to-find place, but just thrown away. Into the river, obviously, in this case, the act of mutilating the corpse has another meaning."

Tian Mi followed Lu Xiangdong's train of thought for a while, and guessed: "You mean, hatred?"

"Yes, there is an idiom in China called broken corpses into ten thousand pieces. Whenever someone is hated by others, he will be cursed to be broken into ten thousand pieces one day. It can be seen that there is no whole body in death, and seven hundred and eight pieces are dismembered. It falls in the hearts of most people, it is a punishment."

"So do you think that even if Chi Jianhui and Gui Xiuqin's affair is established, they wouldn't hate Wu Liang and his son to that extent?" Tian Mi fell into deep thought when he said this, "Indeed, we investigated Wu Liang did not have any large amount of personal insurance, and Wu Zhida was only a teenager. Killing these two people and dismembering their corpses really required enough hatred. Maybe Gui Xiuqin lived with Wu Liang There are many things going wrong together, and it is easy to have impulsive thoughts. I really don't believe that Chi Jianhui would take the risk of killing someone for an affair without a special reason. In this way, isn't our clue Got it wrong?"

"Let's talk about it after I come today and talk to these two people separately. The question is not limited to this. Have you ever thought that according to the information obtained from the previous interview, Gui Xiuqin and Wu Liang are a quarrelsome couple? Husband and wife, now it is almost certain that Gui Xiuqin is having an affair, and her attitude towards Wu Zhida has also changed a lot. Under such circumstances, why hasn't she divorced Wu Liang? Chi Jianhui has been divorced and single for many years. Once again, she was willing to pay for Gui Xiuqin to keep her mouth shut, why does Gui Xiuqin maintain a 'fake peace' with Wu Liang on the surface?" Lu Xiangdong asked Tian Mi.

Tian Mi was overwhelmed by his series of questions and didn't know how to answer them.

Lu Xiangdong didn't expect her to give any answer right away: "Everything in this world, no matter benevolent or malicious, is always true and false, false and true, truth and illusion are mixed together, inseparable, no When the answer is revealed, there is no way to get what the facts are. So never make judgments because of some appearances and subjective assumptions. Sometimes the facts may be completely opposite to the imagined results. It is thought that there is no gain, but in fact there is surprise."

Tian Mi looked at him half understanding, always felt that there was something in his words, but she couldn't figure it out.
