Mysterious country

After separating from Lengyue and the others, Xia Qi asked Li Qiuping to call the important man's daughter and asked her current address.

Originally, Li Qiuping had only contacted that big shot before and would not have his daughter's mobile phone number. However, before the big shot was killed, the last time they met, he gave Li Qiuping his daughter's mobile phone number and He told Li Qiuping that if he had an accident, he must protect his daughter.

After asking for the girl's location, Xia Qi took a taxi and went downstairs to a residential building.

The three people got out of the car and quickly went upstairs. They knocked on the door and heard a middle-aged woman's voice coming from inside:

"who are you?"

"Hello madam, we are from the Criminal Police Brigade of the Public Security Bureau. I'm sorry to disturb you so late, but there are a few questions that need to be verified from you to solve the case."

The middle-aged woman in the room didn't speak for a while, and she didn't seem to want to open the door to let them in, until Li Qiuping suddenly said:

"Mrs. Xu, I'm Li Qiuping. We've met before. These two are in charge of your husband's case. It's really urgent."

Xia Qi saw Li Qiuping running forward and gave him a deep look. At this time, the originally closed door was slowly pushed open.

"Come in and talk."

A woman's voice full of boredom came from inside.

"You can tell this old woman is a shrew just by her voice. No wonder her husband wants to separate from her."

Liu Yanmin's attitude towards the women in the house was very full.

"Okay Minmin, don't worry about it. Let's ask a few questions and then leave. We're not choosing someone to stay with you for the night. Why do you care so much?"

Xia Qi gave Liu Yanmin a funny nudge, but Liu Yanmin didn't complain anymore, but just glared at him unhappily.

The three people walked into the house one after another and couldn't help but be slightly shocked by the luxurious decoration in the house. Xia Qi took a cursory glance and found that the house had an area of ​​no less than 140 square meters and was decorated in a European royal style. It did not look like a residence. It's more like a hotel.

A middle-aged woman in a nightgown was sitting on a large sofa, looking at them with a cold face.

On the way here, Xia Qi also inquired about some information about this middle-aged woman from Li Qiuping. His husband's name is Xu Chenglin, who is the big shot in Li Qiuping's mouth.

His husband is in politics, and she is in business, apparently in the import and export trade, and is very rich.

However, because the two of them were busy with their own affairs, conflicts arose over time. Although they were still married in name and were not divorced, in fact they had been separated for many years and had no contact with each other on weekdays.

Only on some occasions that require their presence as a couple, they will get together briefly, and once the matter is over, they will become passers-by again.

"Hello Mrs. Xu."

Although the woman's face was full of boredom, Xia Qi still greeted her with a smile. Although Liu Yanmin was very unhappy with the woman, she could only force a smile at this time.

"Come and sit."

Xu saw that Xia Qi and the others respected her, so the coldness on the woman's face gradually disappeared, and she made a gesture of invitation towards them.

The three people took off their shoes and sat on the sofa one after another. Then they heard the middle-aged woman say:

"Ask me if you have any questions, I'm about to take a rest."

"Actually, Mrs. Xu, we came here this time to talk to your daughter."

Xia Qi didn't want to waste time, so he made the topic clear and said:

"You should know that on the day Mr. Xu was murdered, the only person present at the scene was your daughter, and she was the one who called the police."

"I think what should be said has been said as early as the day of the accident. My daughter needs to rest now. Her father's incident has left a big shadow on her."

The middle-aged woman's meaning was obvious. She didn't want her daughter to recall what happened that day.

Xia Tian Qi did understand the woman's behavior. After all, it was out of the mother's protection of her children, but he understood that there were some things that he had to ask her daughter face to face.

"Mrs. Xu, we are not being alarmist. Zhao Guangzhen has been very uneasy recently. I think you must have heard that not only did something happen to Mr. Xu, but even before him, his two younger brothers and his sister-in-law also disappeared for no reason. .

There is also Mr. Li sitting next to me, and several of his apprentices have also disappeared. "

"What do you want to say?" The woman's face, which looked better just now, turned ugly again after listening to Xia Qi's words.

"Your current situation."

Xia Qi looked into the middle-aged woman's eyes without blinking, as if he had seen her shaky heart. He continued:

"Why did the police invite Mr. Li, the yin-yang man, to handle the case? I think Mrs. Xu should be able to see something from it. Because this case is so unusual, and the murderer is not even human."

"Not human!"

The middle-aged woman's expression changed drastically, and at this moment, a young woman also wearing a nightgown walked out of a bedroom in fear.

This woman looked very similar to a middle-aged woman, about 20 years old, with a pale face. There was no doubt that she was Xu Chenglin's daughter.

"Qingqing, why are you out? Mom told you to lie down on the bed for a while."

"Mom, I'm fine. They came to see me. They also called me before."

Xia Qi originally thought that Xu Chenglin's daughter was just a little girl of fourteen or fifteen years old, but now it seems that there is no need for them to play tricks like coaxing.

The middle-aged woman was still worried and wanted to say something to the woman, but at this time the woman directly asked Xia Qi and the others:

"My mother doesn't know much about this matter. If you have anything to ask, just ask me. As long as you believe it."

Seeing that the woman was so cheerful, Xia Qi stopped going around and went straight to the point and asked:

"I want to know about your grandfather, such as his relationship with your father and two uncles."

"Is this important to solving the case?"

"It's very important." Xia Qi nodded seriously:

"So I hope you won't shy away from anything and be realistic."

"My father and several uncles don't have a good relationship with my grandfather. My grandfather is getting older and needs someone to take care of him. However, my father is usually very busy, and my two aunts think that my grandfather has a weird personality and a bad temper, so they are unwilling to take care of him.

After several people discussed it, they planned to send Grandpa to a nursing home. However, Grandpa did not have a good time in the nursing home and made many troubles. In the end, he had no choice but to take him back.

From then on, he started making trouble at my house and the houses of two uncles. My two uncles were annoyed by grandpa, so they rented a house and locked grandpa in it. They treated him like a prison inmate. They sent him meals every morning and evening and hired a person to keep an eye on him to prevent him from getting into trouble. . "
