Chapter 104 The Dead Li Mei

"May? The May you are talking about is the Li Mei we are talking about, right?" Jia Yi asked Ali.

Ali scratched his head: "It should be her! I remember hearing Qiang Zai call Ah May's name, but usually we are used to calling her Ah May or May!"

"Are you familiar with May?"

"It's okay, I often talk about it when I'm joking, but I'm not really familiar with it!" Ali hesitated: "Why don't you wait for our boss to come and ask him! He and May are very close. Cooked!"

"It's okay, we're just chatting casually, you don't have to be too nervous." Jiayi smiled and comforted Ali, it was obvious that he was a little nervous about the sudden police coming to investigate.

"Yeah, let's chat casually!" Tian Mi came out to investigate the case with her idol for the first time, and she was very excited, and she also followed Jia Yi to strike up a conversation with Ali: "Handsome guy, tell us about this May. Go! I can tell when I see you, you are a warm-hearted person!"

Tian Mi's series of high hats came over, and Ali was praised only for smirking. Think about it, if a beautiful woman praises so much, it would be a bit inferior if she can't reveal anything, and besides, she doesn't have any ulterior secrets. , It's no big deal to simply chat.

"Actually, I really don't know much about May, but what I know, I must know everything!" Ali asked another employee to call the boss to come early, and sat down by himself: "May is here with us." I have been singing here for almost 2 years. Our boss poached someone from another bar. To be honest, May is very beautiful and she sings very well, so since she came, the business of the bar has also been driven by her. A little bit. She heard that she is the boss’s fellow villager, and she knew her before, and she sings here four days a week, because she has a relaxed personality, so she is quite familiar with the waiters and regular customers here.”

"Li Mei, does she usually have a good relationship here?" Cheng Feng asked.

"It should be," Ali said with a chuckle: "By the way, who doesn't like young and beautiful girls!"

"Then does she have any bad relationship with anyone?"

"Well, I really don't know!" Ali thought for a long time, but still couldn't come up with an answer: "You should ask our boss about this kind of thing! May and I just have a laughing and joking friendship, and she doesn't care about anything. You won’t be willing to tell me, but even if others don’t know, as long as it’s about May, our boss will definitely know it all!”

"So, your boss really cares about Li Mei's affairs!" Seeing that Ali brought the topic to the boss, Jiayi followed his words and asked, "It seems that I really like her very much." That's right! Otherwise, who would be idle and care about an irrelevant person."

"That's true!" Ali nodded: "Our boss is really infatuated with May! It is said that he has liked May for many years! But people don't buy it. Sometimes when I think about it, we are all very happy. It's not worth it for the boss! With his conditions, finding a wife is not easy and enjoyable!"

"Things about feelings, outsiders can't understand. Maybe Li Mei already has someone she likes." Jiayi guessed from Li Mei's perspective: "Beauty is in the eyes of lovers, and the other party's conditions may not be as good as yours." Hello boss, but if Li Mei really likes it, there is no other way, you can’t force it.”

Ali curled his lips: "We can't explain this clearly. Anyway, I think that among her boyfriends, few of them are better than our Qiangzi! And no one is as affectionate to her as Qiangzi!"

"Those?" Cheng Feng heard the clue: "How many boyfriends does this Li Mei have?"

"I don't know, anyway, people change every day or two," Ali wrenched his fingers, "I didn't know before, at least during the year she was here, the men I've seen who came here to pick her up or send her here, I can't count them on one hand!"

"You mean, this Li Mei is more casual in terms of relationships?"

"At least it's not too serious!" Ali chuckled: "However, girls nowadays are more playful!"

"Doesn't your boss like her? Wouldn't he be bored seeing the man next to the woman he likes come and go, just not giving him a chance?" Jiayi continued to induce Ali.

Ali didn't doubt that he was there, and he slapped his thigh as expected: "That's what you said! If it were me, I would have died of anger, so I would just be cruel and forget about giving up this woman! But Qiangzi is different from me! He absolutely He is a super tolerant guy! Don't talk about getting angry and giving up! After such a long time, he can hold on and play with secret love! These days, I don't think there will be another one who plays with secret love like him!"

"Since it's a crush, does that mean that even Li Mei doesn't know that your boss likes her?"

"Yes!"

"Then how did you know?" Cheng Feng said to the point.

Ali was not troubled by this question, he grinned: "I have known Qiangzai for so long, and we have a very close relationship! He likes to drink with me when he is unhappy. Once he was very depressed, so he came to me Drinking, you also know that people are easy to get drunk when they are in a bad mood, and Qiang Zai finally vented when he talked drunk after drinking too much!"

Ali is a talkative person, once the chatterbox is opened, he will start talking non-stop. If someone hadn't called him to start work midway, I'm afraid he would have been sitting here with Cheng Feng and the others talking until the opening.

Not long after Ali was called away, the secret love saint he was talking about just now appeared.

A short man hurried into the bar, and the employees on the sidelines greeted him one after another, which let Cheng Feng and others know that he is the boss here.

"You are from the Public Security Bureau, right? My name is Tao Qiang, and I'm the boss here. May I ask what happened to Li Mei?" The short man came over and shook hands with Cheng Feng and the four of them anxiously.

Tao Qiang is slightly chubby, with a round face that matches his figure very well. He looks very tender. He is a man who looks like a bear. Basically, he is not handsome enough, but more than cute.Judging from his panting appearance, he rushed over in a hurry. It seemed that Ali's words were not exaggerated. This Tao Qiang really took Li Mei seriously.

"Is Li Mei your resident singer?" Cheng Feng asked.

"Yes, that's right, officer, what's wrong with Li Mei?" Tao Qiang asked urgently, he seemed worried about Li Mei's situation.

Cheng Feng noticed this: "Are you worried about Li Mei?"

"Yes, yesterday was supposed to be the day she came to perform, but she didn't come, and no one answered my phone call. At first I thought she was acting petty, but just now someone in the store called me and told me that the police People from the bureau came to ask about Li Mei, and I had a bad feeling!" Tao Qiang frowned, and he looked at Cheng Feng earnestly: "Officer, what's wrong with Xiaomei? Is she okay?"

Cheng Feng shook his head: "I'm sorry, Li Mei was the victim of a murder case, that's why we are here today."

Tao Qiang's expression changed instantly, and he slumped down on the chair.

"Tao Qiang, we heard that you are very familiar with Li Mei, so we need you to provide us with clues so that we can bring the real culprit to justice as soon as possible." Seeing that Tao Qiang's shock and sadness did not seem fake, Cheng Feng went further. Ask: "Are you fellow villagers? Do you know the situation in her family?"

"Are you sure that person is Li Mei?" Tao Qiang still couldn't accept the news of Li Mei's death: "Could you have made a mistake? Could it be that someone just happened to look like Xiaomei?"

"Tao Qiang, we can understand your feelings, but we have confirmed the identity of the deceased, and Li Mei died in her rented apartment." Cheng Feng completely shattered Tao Qiang's last hope.

Tao Qiang's eyes were slightly red. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down his emotions. After a long silence, he was able to speak: "I'm sorry, officer, I lost my temper. I'm from the same town as Xiaomei, and I'm familiar with her situation. If you need to know anything, please feel free to ask.”

Tao Qiang's demeanor is more mature and introverted than his appearance, which changed Cheng Feng's first impression of him. Compared with "gentleman" Jin Yang, Tao Qiang's self-control made their work much smoother.

"Li Mei is from City Y, right? Who else is in her family? We need to notify the family of the deceased." Cheng Feng said the first important thing.

Tao Qiang showed embarrassment: "I can provide information about her hometown, but I'm not sure if I can help you."

"How do you say that?"

"Xiaomei's parents died in a mining accident when she was a child. Her parents used to work in the mines under City Y, and they often went down to the mines. Then they encountered a collapse and both died. Later, she was adopted by her aunt. When she was [-] or [-] years old, her aunt and uncle divorced, and her aunt remarried soon after, and Xiaomei has been living alone since then." When Tao Qiang said this, his voice was slightly choked, and he rubbed Out of the corner of the eye: "I can give you her aunt's contact information, but I want to ask to be the one who signs the body!"

"Tao Qiang, we can understand your feelings," Cheng Feng patted Tao Qiang on the shoulder: "But we can't make decisions about the procedure. We will contact Li Mei's aunt first to ask for her opinion. If she agrees, We will notify you to sign on behalf of the family members."

Tao Qiang knew that what Cheng Feng said was not coping. Although he was not reconciled, he could only nod in agreement. He found the phone number of Aunt Li Mei's house from his mobile phone, and Tian Yang immediately recorded it in his notebook.

"We heard just now that Li Mei is the hottest singer in your bar?" Cheng Feng looked at Tao Qiang, and the other party looked back at him: "You are the boss here and her fellow countryman. She should have a better understanding of her situation? Has she had any grudges with anyone recently or in the past?"

Tao Qiang sighed, and after thinking for a while, shook his head: "I really can't think of it."
