deep white secret

Chapter 61
Before getting off work, Ma Mingjie rushed back, and Ningxia was the first to rush over, because during the first census, Ningxia and Zhang Lei had already visited the two residential buildings next to Fuhai Hotel.

Ma Mingjie drank water and listened to Xu Jie's description of the current progress of the case.

"It's good to have a locked suspect. Zhou Xiaodan's clues delayed us for a few days."

Ma Mingjie walked to the whiteboard and opened his case record book:

"I spent a lot of time wandering downstairs in those two buildings today. Like Captain Xu said, uncles and aunts have also asked about it. Not to mention, some people actually said that the floor drain smelled like it was coming up last week."

Everyone pricked up their ears.

"But I'm dubious about this clue. I checked and found that the two buildings next to Fuhai Hotel were built in 1988."

Ma Mingjie shook his head:

"Because it is an old building, cloudy and rainy days often bring back the smell. It is a bit far-fetched to say that these two buildings are targeted just because of this."

"But there's an unexpected clue."

Ma Mingjie pointed to the record book and looked at Ningxia:
"Unit 4, No. [-] is a rental house. Do you know who it is rented to? The waiter at Fuhai Hotel is just a little girl named Jia Mei."

Ma Mingjie finally closed the notebook:

"Captain Xu, that's it. There are actually no major clues, but Fuhai Hotel always appears in our investigation, which makes me feel a little strange."

Zhang Lei smiled and said:

"It's nothing. Fuhai Hotel is right next to the residential building. It's normal for the waiter to rent a room there. Because the hotel is the scene of corpse dumping, and Li Wenrui had lunch in Fuhai on the 17th, so our investigation will of course focus on Fuhai."

"If the tenant is a man, don't say that I will really transfer the suspicion to this, but the little girl..."

Ma Mingjie shook his head:

"It's impossible."

Everyone talked about it, and finally Xu Jie said:
"Now that we have found a person named Song Yuanan, let's just invite him to the bureau for questioning. All the clues are now in front of us. It depends on who surfaces first."

When Song Yuanan arrived at the police station, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Song Yuanan is 27 years old, neither fat nor thin, with big eyes and a smile always on his face. He wears a well-fitting light blue suit. Although it is summer, his shirt and tie are meticulous, and even his hair style is specially taken care of.

Xu Jie received Song Yuanan in the conference room.

"Excuse me, let you go there yourself."

"It's okay. It's our obligation to cooperate with the police investigation."

Xu Jie was very polite, and so was Song Yuanan. Ningxia sat next to Xu Jie, catching Song Yuanan's micro-expressions from time to time.

"I'm sorry, but this is Li Wenrui's case. During our visit and investigation, we learned that you and Li Wenrui had conflicts at work?"

Song Yuanan smiled and sat upright:

"Team Xu, we do investment and financial management, and let money make money. It is normal for opinions and investment directions to be inconsistent. This is not a contradiction."

"But your investment opinion was completely overturned and denied at the meeting. Later it was proved that the investment direction was correct, and not once or twice. This is abnormal."

Song Yuanan shook his head:

"Team Xu has probably never invested before. Our company said it was decided at a meeting, but in fact it was Director Li who had the final say. In this case, it is not surprising that the investment plan was rejected."

Xu Jie stopped arguing and asked:

"How is your relationship with your girlfriend?"

"Very good. We are planning to get married next month, and I will also be promoted. It's a double blessing."

Xu Jie smiled:

"Congratulations first. President Zhou is full of praise for your work ability. She has praised you every time we visited her."

"Really!"

Song Yuanan smiled happily and moved involuntarily on the chair.

"We checked Li Wenrui's phone records. He often calls your girlfriend. What does this mean?"

Xu Jie asked suddenly, and Ning Xia saw a flash of resentment on Song Yuanan's face.

"Ah? I don't know. What else is there? My girlfriend is also in our investment circle. Is it a work relationship?"

Xu Jie nodded:
"So that's it. We asked you to come here mainly to help us verify the situation. If it is, it is, if it is not, it is not. It doesn't matter."

Ning Xia saw that Song Yuanan was trying to control his emotions. This matter was definitely not as simple as he said.

Ningxia made up for it:

"We don't know much about your investment, but the phone calls at nine or ten o'clock in the evening are very confusing, but maybe you need it for work, right?"

After Ning Xia finished speaking, she lowered her eyes and pretended that she was not the one who asked the question just now.

But this sentence obviously angered Song Yuanan. He smiled, and then rubbed his eyes with his hands, covering most of his face.

"Also, we now believe that Li Wenrui's murder was related to his work. According to our investigation, you have been working together for more than four years. In these four years, you know best. Does Li Wenrui have any enemies?"

"If you put it that way, it's true."

Song Yuanan said:

"Director Li had an investment failure two years ago. The other party often comes to him. You can go and investigate. Director Li usually doesn't get along well with girls. Our company's Yang Zhenzhu is an example."

Ning Xia pretended to listen carefully and wrote down one by one.

"By the way, on the day Director Li was killed, I was participating in the company's team building, which was the 17th. I stayed at the suburban villa all night. All my colleagues in the company can testify."

Xu Jie nodded, turned sideways and blinked at Ning Xia. Both of them understood. Ning Xia closed the record book and said:
"Thank you then. At this point today, I would also like to congratulate you on your wedding."

Song Yuanan stood up and breathed an inexplicable sigh of relief.

Song Yuanan left, Ning Xia and Xu Jie looked at each other, and finally laughed together.

"Really him?"

Ningxia couldn't contain her excitement.

"It wasn't him. The murderer was his accomplice. They should have jointly planned the murder. That's why Song Yuanan made an alibi."

Ningxia followed Xu Jie to the window, feeling a little excited:
"Team Xu, we have really locked the suspect."

Xu Jie used his big hands to mess up Ningxia's bangs:

"There is still no evidence, when did you notice it?"

"To be honest, from the moment we turned our attention to Song Yuanan, I was observing him as soon as he walked in."

"First of all, he tried his best to deny any conflict with Li Wenrui, and his easy-going attitude is full of hypocrisy."

Xu Jie then saw Song Yuanan walking out of the police station building and driving in the parking lot.

"Second, when talking about Zhou Xiaodan's praise for him, his eyes are full of pride. This is the kind of pride that was denied by the previous leader and affirmed by the new leader."

Xu Jie smiled. He saw Song Yuanan walking to the parking lot, taking out a cigarette and puffing on it.

"And the most important point, mentioning that Li Wenrui called his girlfriend, Song Yuan'an's acting skills are so bad, he actually pretended not to know, which exposed everything."

"Finally, when Captain Xu asked Song Yuanan if there were any other suspects, he immediately changed the blame and told two unrelated things."

Xu Jie pointed to the parking lot downstairs:
"Look at Song Yuan'an, he has been hanging his head since he walked out of the police station. The weather is so hot, he actually smoked a second cigarette in the parking lot. Continue to talk about the most important point."

"Song Yuanan accurately told the time of Li Wenrui's murder."

Xu Jie turned his head, with approval in his eyes, and continued:
"Including us, we have always locked the time of death within a certain range, and Song Yuan'an has confirmed that Li Wenrui was killed on the 17th."
