"I think his gangster friends are very strange." The aunt said, still in the same tone of disgust and regret: "I can see those gangster friends in our community from time to time, but I don’t know if I’m looking for them. Fancheng’s, he didn’t see him interacting with these children anymore.” The aunt began to preach again: “It’s okay if you don’t have a relationship, you won’t be able to be successful with these people...”
Xia Ruo began to wonder if this aunt would be a teacher before retiring.
"Are his former friends also live in this community?" Xia Ruo asked.
"Probably not, I haven't seen them live here, it seems to be in the neighborhood." The aunt said not quite sure.
"Fancheng really doesn't interact with those people now?" The tea seemed to be finally warmed by Xia Ruoyou's blows, and she took a sip.
"It should be." The aunt said: "It happened a few months ago. I heard him arguing with his former friend at the door. The voice was quite loud. I heard it in the house. It seemed like he used to That friend said that Fancheng wouldn't have any dealings with them now that he was rich. It was still very noisy."
"But after this, will his former friends still come?"
"right."
In this case, what did those friends from Fancheng do when they came to this community? Did they come to Fancheng, but after hearing what the aunt said, Fancheng was reluctant to interact with these people for a long time.
So are the people Fancheng defended against his former friends
"A few days ago they also came?" Xia Ruo asked.
"Well, I seem to have seen them." The aunt replied.
"Okay, thank you." Su Luoheng said, about to get up and say goodbye to the aunt.
The aunt wanted to keep them and said, "Drink the tea before leaving."
Xia Ruo thinks that auntie likes them so much.
"No, no, thank you for your cooperation." Xia Ruo thanked him and said while waving his hand.
"Let's do it." The aunt didn't force her, knowing that they were very busy at work, said intimately: "Then what do I think of, I will contact you again."
"Okay, thank you." Su Luoheng said.
Out of the aunt's house, Xia Ruo looked at Su Luoheng and said to him, "This aunt is so enthusiastic."
Su Luoheng nodded in agreement and said, "Yes, I seem to care about everyone. Worry about this and worry about that."
Xia Ruoxiaoxiao said: "Aunt should be the director of the neighborhood committee, she must be very competent!"
Su Luoheng glanced at her helplessly.
Other neighbors’ statements were similar to those of the aunt. They all said that Fancheng had paid off in the past, often messing with a group of punks, and suddenly became serious, but he also felt that this person was not very good.
Later, Xia Ruo and Su Luoheng also found the neighbor who said they saw the woman in white, and showed him the picture of Hongmu. He said it was indeed her.
"So, Fan Cheng is likely to have a passion for Mahogany." Xia Ruo said.
By the time I finished visiting the neighbors related to Fancheng, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon.
The two entered a western restaurant for dinner and sat face to face.
Su Luoheng looked at him and said, "So, do you think what Hongmu said is true?"
Xia Ruo thought and said, "I just don't think what she said is like a lie."
According to Hongmu, Fancheng deliberately poured her wine, and then wanted to do something wrong with her and was killed by her. Neighbors can prove that Fancheng’s conduct is indeed wrong, and neighbors who have passed by Hongmu do see
She even said that she saw her torn clothes.
At about 4:30 in the afternoon, people from the appraisal center even called and said that the blood on the mahogany dress was identified as belonging to Fancheng, and there were fingerprints of Fancheng on the neckline of her torn dress.
It was almost ascertained that Fan Cheng had done bad things to Hongmu.
"However, there is a time lag of nearly three hours between when Fancheng was killed and when Hongmu left and returned home." Su Luoheng reminded Xia Ruo.
Hongmu's explanation for these three hours was that she fell asleep after being filled with wine by Fancheng and frightened. But what is the credibility of this matter
The fork in Xia Ruo's hand rolled the spaghetti unconsciously, considering Mahogany's words and the whole thing.
"So, do you think Hongmu is lying?" Xia Ruo asked Su Luoheng.
Su Luoheng put a piece of beef into his mouth, swallowed it, and said, "I didn't think she was lying, but it was a bit far-fetched and weird."
Xia Ruo nodded, indeed, as Su Luoheng said, it seemed that there was no loophole in Hongmu's statement, but she also felt that something had been overlooked by them.
"Would you like to order a glass of red wine?" Su Luoheng suddenly asked halfway through the meal.
Xia Ruo bit her noodles and glanced at Su Luoheng strangely and said, "It's almost the end of dinner, what's your nerve?"
Su Luoheng, who was scolded and nervous, was a little aggrieved, and said, "I suddenly remembered."
Suddenly remembered? Did you think of picking up a bottle of red wine at the murder scene
Xia Ruo suddenly felt a little sick, thinking that this would only make people even less want to run into the red bar.
Therefore, Xia Ruo decisively rejected Su Luoheng's kindness and said, "Thank you, no, I don't want to drink it at all."
"Tomorrow, go to Hongmu's company to find out about the situation. I heard that Hongmu has a good friend who seems to be in the same company as her. You can ask her about the situation of Hongmu by the way." Xia Ruo said.
Su Luoheng smiled and said, "You can understand it clearly."
Xia Ruo said, "If you chat between girls, you know everything."
Su Luoheng couldn't touch Xia Ruo's head across the dining table, so he could only say, "You, don't trust others too much."
Xia Ruo disagreed.
Su Luoheng said: "Let's go back to the police station in a while. I have a document in the office and I want to take it home to look at it."
"good."
Since Su Luoheng and Xia Ruo moved into their former small house again, they have been commuting to and from get off work together.
It was already 7:30 in the evening when the two drove back to the police station.
As soon as the front foot stepped into the door, the police officer on the back foot walked in front of Su Luoheng: "Su SIR, someone is looking for you."
Su Luoheng was taken aback, who would look for him at this time
Su Luoheng turned his head to look at the police officer and expressed his doubts with his eyes. The police officer said: "She said she is a friend of Redwood, and she has been waiting for you here for more than three hours."
Redwood's friend? Just now Xia Ruo said that he would go to talk to her, why did he find them first
Su Luoheng was surprised and asked, "Why don't you contact me?"
The police officer said, "Su SIR, your phone is turned off."
Su Luoheng took out his mobile phone, and it turned off automatically because the battery ran out.
How careless. Su Luoheng was upset.
Xia Ruo stepped forward and asked, "Where are people now?"
"It's inside." The police officer glanced at the office where their group is located.
Xia Ruo walked ahead and saw first
A woman sitting in a black leather chair. Warm brown waist-length hair, short-sleeved T-shirt, white half-length skirt, carrying a cowhide one-shoulder pouch, sitting with his head down. She was about the same age as Xia Ruo, and from her perspective, she could see the woman's frowning brows.
Hearing the movement of Su Luoheng and Xia Ruo entering the house, the woman quickly raised her head, stood up, ran towards Su Luoheng, and hurriedly said: "Excuse me, are you the person in charge of the Hongmu case?"
Su Luoheng said: "Yes, my name is Su Luoheng, and I am a senior inspector of the Crime Squad. Who are you?"
Su Luoheng showed his police officer ID to the woman.
The woman held her backpack strap on her shoulder with one hand and said to Su Luoheng: "My name is Lan Xiang, a friend of Hongmu. I heard that the police took her away because of the murder of Hongmu, and rushed over."
The woman's voice was soft but rapid, with fine sweat on her head.
"Yes, because Hongmu was suspected of a murder case, we arrested her." Su Luoheng said.
"Police officer, do you have any misunderstandings? Hongmu can't kill people!" Lan Xiang took a half step forward, closer to Su Luoheng, said.
Xia Ruo stretched out a hand to block between Lan Xiang and Su Luoheng, then took a step forward, stood in front of Lan Xiang, half-blocked Su Luoheng, and said to her: "Miss Lan, Hongmu has already admitted that she killed Fancheng. NS."
"What!" Lan Xiang's face was instantly pale, and his face was incredibly full: "How could it be... how could she admit that she was the one who killed..."
"But Miss Hongmu's murder may be out of legitimate defense, so we are still investigating, Miss Lan, don't worry too much." Xia Ruo saw Lan Xiang's ugly face and said immediately.
"Justified defense?" Lan Xiang was taken aback.
"Yes." Su Luoheng said: "We will find out the truth. If Miss Hongmu is really in legitimate defense, we will not pursue her criminal responsibility, Miss Lan, don't worry."
Lan Xiang didn't seem to realize what Xia Ruo and Su Luoheng had said.
"Miss Lan?" Xia Ruo called her.
Lan Xiang came back to his senses. Said to Xia Ruo and Su Luoheng: "That is to say, there is nothing wrong with the Redwood Club, right?"
"We still need to investigate this." Xia Ruo said with a smile.
"That's it..." Lan Xiang looked lost in consciousness.
Since Lan Xiang is here, he will save the time to look for her tomorrow.
"Ms. Lan, do you have time? I want to get some information from you." Su Luoheng said.
"Okay." Lan Xiang nodded.
Su Luoheng invited her to the office directly, Xia Ruo offered her a cup of tea, and the two sat opposite Lan Xiang.
"You have a good relationship with Hongmu, isn't it?" Su Luoheng asked.
"Yes, we have a very good relationship. The company we joined together is close to each other, so we have a good relationship."
"Do you know that Hongmu has a friend named Fancheng?"
"Fan Cheng is a friend of Hongmu?" Lan Xiang was surprised, and asked Su Luoheng and Xia Ruo.
"Do you recognize Fancheng too?" Xia Ruo asked.
It's not so much a question as it is an affirmative answer. Lan Xiang's words are obvious. She knew this person before she learned that Hongmu was involved in the case today.
"... Hmm..." Lan Xiang paused, and said: "I can't talk about knowing him, he is discussing business with our company. So I only know him, and I just knew him." Lan Xiang seemed to be anxious to know the answer and asked Su. Lost balance: "Fancheng is a friend of Redwood?"
