deep white secret

Chapter 137 I have something to tell you

In the next few days, Ningxia and Shi Yihang's task was to investigate Meng Xiangren's social relationships. During this investigation, neither of them believed that Meng Xiangren's social relationships were too chaotic.

Ningxia still remembers that Meng Xiangren has tattoos on his body that look like a dragon but not a dragon, and look like an eagle but not an eagle.

Meng Xiangren's social relationships are just like his tattoos, which cannot be seen through or touched.

There are more than 2000 contacts in the mobile address book and nearly [-] WeChat friends. This kind of searching for a needle in a haystack makes Ningxia and Shi Yihang miserable.

Meng Xiangren's private life is even worse, with thousands of ambiguous text messages and female friends.

Three days later, Ningxia and Shi Yihang still found nothing.

Ningxia couldn't help but complain:
"Captain Xu is wrong. I still remember that during the case analysis meeting, Captain Xu said that the more complex the interpersonal relationship is, the easier it is to investigate. This is not the case at all."

Shi Yihang also shrugged his shoulders in disappointment:

"I guess Team Xu is talking about ordinary people. Meng Xiangren is different. Meng Xiangren is a complex social person."

After Shi Yihang finished speaking, Ma Mingjie's voice sounded behind him:

"Who summed it up so well? The three words "social man" fit Meng Xiangren so well."

Shi Yihang and Ning Xia opened their eyes happily.

Ma Mingjie shouted towards Xu Jie's office:
"Boss, do you want to listen to my report?"

Ningxia waved her hand:
"Team Xu is not in the office. In the past few days, Team Xu has been following up on the finding of marijuana in Meng Xiangren's autopsy. He has been with the anti-drug team."

"So, it's been determined that Meng Xiangren is a drug addict?"

"Not yet, but Captain Xu should have some clues. He said there will be results in a day or two."

After Ningxia answered, she hurriedly asked Ma Mingjie:

"Tell me what's going on over there?"

Ma Mingjie came over, opened the notebook and said:

"First let me talk about the results of my investigation and interview at the Ruby Club. Meng Xiangren is a bartender and a very popular bartender. There are interest disputes between the bartenders, so these bartenders are all suspects."

Ningxia couldn’t believe it:

"All have motives?"

"It's just profit. Meng Xiangren's bartending skills are average, but the customers like him. People like them rely on rewards to make a living. Meng Xiangren has a sweet mouth and is the one who earns the most among them."

Shi Yihang nodded:

“Brother Marco, have you asked all the bartenders?”

Obviously Shi Yihang didn't believe it.

"Of course, otherwise I can't draw conclusions easily. There are eight bartenders working in two shifts. Regardless of whether they have an alibi on the night Meng Xiangren was killed, they are all suspects."

Ning Xia remembered what Xu Jie once said: The most unconvincing evidence at the scene is the alibi.

Shi Yihang still didn’t believe it:
"Can you tell me where the specific suspicion is?"

Ma Mingjie smiled and said:
"You still don't believe me? First of all, the most suspicious foreman makes no secret of his dissatisfaction with Meng Xiangren. Meng Xiangren often steals his customers, even in the open. Because of stealing customers, the two of them have argued many times."

"It's possible, but how much hatred does it take to go to the point of killing someone!"

"The three of them are in the same class as Meng Xiangren. To describe them in four words is to take pleasure in others' misfortune."

Ning Xia thought about this differently from Ma Mingjie. He gloated about his misfortune and could only say that he was happy to see Meng Xiangren killed. If he got to the stage of being a suspect, he would hardly be convincing.

"The remaining three people all provided alibis and were anxious to clear up suspicion. They said they didn't know anything about Meng Xiangren's other circumstances."

Ning Xia wrote the words "bartender" on the paper. The last three people were worthy of consideration.

Ma Mingjie drank some water and continued:
"Next are Ruby's waiters and waiters. These people have mixed reviews of Meng Xiangren."

"how do I say this?"

Shi Yihangwen Zou Zou asked.

"The good thing is that I am not familiar with Meng Xiangren and I don't comment on him. The bad thing is that Meng Xiangren is single and handsome, and many waitresses have relationships with him."

Ma Mingjie chuckled:

"And from my conversations with these girls, I learned that Meng Xiangren would not refuse anyone who came, and that Meng Xiangren would satisfy the guests' requests. This also made many girls suspicious of each other."

Hearing this, Shi Yihang and Ningxia were both stunned.

"so."

Ma Mingjie tapped the record book:

"There is no way to tell about the girl who went back to the hotel with Meng Xiangren that night. I took photos for everyone to identify, and everyone said that the girl was not from the Ruby Club, and no one had seen her."

Ningxia all regretted:
"We also checked Meng Xiangren's call records. The call duration was not long, and there was no frequently contacted number. It is really strange."

After speaking, Shi Yihang handed the investigation results to Ma Mingjie:
"Brother Ma, look at it. Ningxia and I haven't reported to Team Xu yet, and there is no progress."

"Where are the text messages? How did Meng Xiangren contact the girl? Who did the last call record point to?"

Shi Yihang frowned:

"The last call record was from the day before the crime. Our public security inquiry platform can only find these, call records, WeChat, text messages, Meng Xiangren and some other dating apps, but no suspect was found through blind push."

Ma Mingjie thought about it and asked another question:
"I remember that after Meng Xiangren was killed, there was no money in his wallet, only his mobile phone was missing, and there was nothing valuable in the hotel. Let me ask you, Meng Xiangren is a popular bartender, where did all the money he earned go?"

This question stunned both Shi Yihang and Ningxia.

Yes, Ningxia remembered very clearly that there were only a few clothes of Meng Xiangren in the wardrobe in the hotel room.

The three of them were speechless for a while.

Before leaving get off work, Zhang Lei returned and brought back his investigation information.

"Don't tell me, I did some research at the Royal Garden Hotel and found out some clues."

This is exciting news. Ningxia asked eagerly:

"What clue? We are in urgent need of information now."

"There are indeed prostitutes in the Royal Garden Hotel, but Meng Xiangren is keeping his integrity and has never looked for her. But according to the front desk, there are quite a few people looking for Meng Xiangren on weekdays."

"Look, I just went to the Ruby Club where Meng Xiangren works. There must be a lot of women coming to see him. According to reports, Meng Xiangren doesn't refuse anyone who comes."

"No, no, no, there is a waitress at the front desk of the hotel. According to her, Meng Xiangren will bring people back, but they are men. Men often come to see him."

Shi Yihang suddenly shouted from the side, as if he had discovered a new world:
"Men and women take it all?"

Ma Mingjie knocked on Shi Yihang's shoulder:

"Bullshit."

"no?"

Shi Yihang asked Zhang Lei deliberately.

Zhang Lei opened his mouth and said loudly:
"Of course not. According to the little waiter, the man who came to see Meng Xiangren looked sloppy, not like a serious person. My consideration is that when Meng Xiangren was killed, he had marijuana in his body. Maybe he was taking drugs and selling drugs."

The investigation went back to the beginning. This is the most convincing result so far in Ningxia regarding Meng Xiangren's identity.

"I need to ask the Korean forensic doctor whether Meng Xiangren's physical signs when he was killed are consistent with a drug overdose?"

Ningxia was facing away from the door of the Criminal Investigation Team office at this moment, and Xu Jie's voice suddenly sounded behind her:
"You don't need to ask the Korean forensic doctor. I will give you the answer. Meng Xiangren's death was not due to drug overdose. I have already asked the Korean forensic doctor for confirmation after the autopsy report came out."

Ning Xia happily turned to look at Xu Jie, but Xu Jie's face was clouded with worries.

"What's wrong, Captain Xu?"

Ningxia was the first to notice that Xu Jie was in a bad mood and stood up in a hurry.

Xu Jie hesitated to speak, his eyes were filled with many depths that Ningxia could not understand for a while.

"Ningxia, you come to the office first. I have something to tell you."

Xu Jie's expression was solemn, and Ningxia's heart beat a few beats faster.

"What's wrong, Captain Xu? What happened?"

Xu Jie didn't answer, walked into the office, closed the door, turned around and hugged Ning Xia tightly in his arms.

The next second, Xu Jie kissed her.

Ning Xia held Xu Jie's lapel tightly and tried to respond, feeling a little at a loss.

Something is wrong with Xu Jie...
