deep white secret

Chapter 141 Sea King
Xiaotong stared at Ningxia for a while, then lowered his head and fiddled with the coffee spoon at hand, Ningxia said:

"My brother has been away from home for more than ten years and has rarely contacted his family. I have been working outside in the past few years. When my aunt found out, she asked me to contact my brother, so I contacted him."

Xiaotong seemed to understand, Ningxia continued:
"My brother is doing really well in Jinghai. I heard he makes a lot of money. My brother has hardly been home these years. My aunt and uncle are all taken care of by my family."

Xiaotong snorted coldly.

"I came to Jinghai because I wanted to earn more. I have to work everywhere, and the money here is plentiful."

Xiaotong knew what Ningxia was thinking and showed a smile:
"But I don't recommend that you stay here. It looks good, but it's actually not that good."

"how?"

"Oh, don't ask. It's such a mess. Didn't you see it last night? There are everyone in the club. How many good people can come here to spend money?"

After Xiaotong finished speaking, he took out a cigarette and started smoking alone without shying away from Ningxia.

"how long have you been here?"

"More than three years."

"Since you said no, you haven't thought about leaving?"

Xiaotong laughed at himself:

"Where can I go? I haven't even finished junior high school. In the past few years, I have made some money by relying on my youth. If I can't work anymore, I can go back to my hometown and do something. I really regret not studying more."

"Same idea as mine."

Xiaotong felt the same and said slowly:
"When I see you, it's like I saw you back then, so I called you."

"Don't worry. I only work as a waiter and nothing else. You just said something bad about my brother. What's going on?"

"Neptune, the club is famous."

"You like my brother?"

Xiaotong seemed to have heard some funny joke and laughed so loudly that the guests at the table next to her looked over impatiently.

Xiaotong didn't care and burst into tears with laughter:

"How could you have such an idea?"

Ningxia said nothing, Xiaotong said:

"I'm not your brother's girlfriend, and I don't have any thoughts about him. In other words, I actually have a strong hatred for your brother!"

Ning Xia raised her eyes.

Xiaotong looked out the window and said quietly:
"My good sister was once your brother's girlfriend, but she died and your brother never cherished her."

Meng Xiangren’s ex-girlfriend?
The criminal investigation team has been considering this direction, but no relevant clues have been found.

Meng Xiangren's mobile phone records include thousands of people, and he has had ambiguous relationships with many women. From social platforms, it is impossible to clarify Meng Xiangren's emotional problems.

Ningxia is very cautious:
"I never heard my aunt or brother mention that he had a girlfriend."

Xiaotong pouted the corner of his mouth:

"How could you know? Meng Xiangren has never approved it."

Xiaotong was very angry:
"And when Meng Xiangren was with Chen Lu, he had a relationship with a girl in our club."

Ningxia wanted to know more, so she retorted:
"Since you said that my brother is Neptune, can it be that in his mind, these girls are all the same and are not confirmed to be girlfriends?"

"Not sure about living together? Do you know that Meng Xiangren and Chen Lu lived together before?"

Ningxia nodded:
"To say that my brother has nothing to do with me seems like I am too cold-blooded. The fact is that my brother and I really have no contact. Since my aunt doesn't know, I think you are right. My brother is indeed a scumbag."

Ning Xia's words comforted Xiaotong and allowed Ning Xia to see clearly that Xiaotong is a caring and righteous person.

So Ningxia asked:

"Who is Chen Lu?"

Xiaotong was very sad and lowered her eyes.

There was melodious piano music playing in the coffee shop. Ningxia had no research on music. He just thought the music was pleasant and made people feel at ease.

"Chen Lu is a waiter at the bar. Not long after she came to the club, she fell in love with Meng Xiangren. Your brother is very capable, and Haiwang naturally has the ability to tease girls. The two of them got together very quickly."

Ning Xia didn't say anything. In this case, Meng Xiangren was her fake brother. If Ning Xia expressed her position, she was afraid that Xiaotong would get the clues.

Xiaotong saw Ning Xia lowering her head and felt that this girl was okay. She didn't distinguish right from wrong just because Meng Xiangren was her brother, so she continued:
"How long can they live together? It was only a few months before Chen Lu started to feel depressed. She was not feeling well. She felt bad all over."

"What do you mean? Are you sick?"

"No, she didn't know how. She got into drugs."

Ning Xia was shocked.

He suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiaotong.

"That's it."

Xiaotong showed her true feelings, her eyes were red:
"The club is very messy. I'm here to make a living, but I know what I can touch and what I can't touch. Chen Lu can't. She loves Meng Xiangren to death. What happened in the end? Her life was at stake."

"Did my brother kill her?"

Xiaotong's mouth is cold:

"I don't know. Chen Lu committed suicide. She didn't want her life. But who can tell why she committed suicide?"

Xiaotong took a tissue and put it on the corner of her eyes. She didn't say anything for a while. Then she took a big sip of coffee and then said:

"Your brother is not a good person. I'm not making this up out of thin air. I also have good friends in the bar. They said that someone at the bar made fun of him. Meng Xiangren told his friends that anyone who likes Chen Lu can borrow it."

"What the hell is this!"

Xiaotong snorted coldly:

"Even if you still have some conscience, if you can say this, it means you are not completely bad."

Ningxia smiled bitterly:

"Saying that he is an elder brother and a cousin is just an excuse for me to come to Jinghai City to work. Now I have joined the club to work. If Meng Xiangren is this kind of person, I will not mention our relationship in the future."

Xiaotong is very satisfied with Ningxia's attitude.

"I'm very happy that you can come to me and say these things to me. I'm not familiar with this city. I'm really happy that you can trust me."

Xiaotong smiled and looked at Ningxia for a while:
"I also came here at your time, that's why I fell in love with Chen Lu. Chen Lu, like me, relies on herself, but she has misjudged the person."

Sadness appeared on Xiaotong's face:

"She decided to leave. I can't understand it. A person who is so afraid of water would finally choose..."

Xiaotong couldn't speak anymore and choked up, but Ningxia heard the clue and asked tentatively:
"how?"

"Killed himself in the bathtub, drowned."

When Ningxia heard this sentence, what she thought of was the gurgling water in the bathroom bathtub when Meng Xiangren was killed.

Ningxia cast her eyes out the window and thought of thousands of possibilities. Chen Lu got into drugs because of Meng Xiangren. So did Xiaotong know that Meng Xiangren was selling drugs?

There is also the way Chen Lu chose to commit suicide. If Chen Lu was afraid of water, would there be another mystery behind Chen Lu's suicide?
The two thoughts made Ningxia shudder. She cleared her throat and asked:
"When will Chen Lu come to the club?"

"Let me think about it, two years ago."

"When...she died?"

"Early last year."

"My brother has never said anything about this, nor has he told my aunt and uncle about Chen Lu. You are right, Meng Xiangren is indeed a scumbag."

Thinking about Ningxia, he asked again:
"Did Chen Lu commit suicide without reporting anything?"

"Report the crime? She sent me a farewell message and left a suicide note. The police also came to see her. She committed suicide."

Ning Xia nodded. If he had reported the crime and told Xu Jie about it, the truth would be revealed immediately. What is the truth?
Ningxia couldn't wait any longer.
