"Tell me about your relationship with Du Chengxian." Lu Hui turned to face Hu Fang and Du Xinhua.
With lessons learned from the past, Hu Fang and Du Xinhua did not dare to play tricks again. Du Xinhua said: "After we sent away... Chengxian was the eldest child in the family. He was not close to us. There was no money for him to go to college. He dropped out of high school and went to work outside. He studied for an adult junior college by himself. After getting his degree, he took an accounting certificate and found a stable job. All of these were done by himself. He didn’t want to involve us too much. The relationship between younger siblings is even weaker, we haven't seen each other for... three or four years."
"Two years ago, Du Cheng first moved to a place farther away from you." Lu Hui said, "Do you know why?"
"Wang Jing said that Chengxian felt that the house was too small and far away from the unit, so he went to find a bigger place closer to the unit." Hu Fang said.
Lu Hui said: "Eighty to ninety square meters, it's only ten square meters."
Du Xinhua sighed: "We are getting old, we just want to live a good life for ourselves, let the children figure out what they want."
"Does Du Chengxian have any close friends with her wife Wang Jing?" Ji Fanyang asked.
"A close friend?" Hu Fang thought for a moment, and said, "When we attended Chengxian's wedding, Wang Jing's bridesmaid was her childhood friend."
"Name?" Ji Fanyang asked.
Hu Fang frowned: "It seems to be...Zhao Zifei, we praised her for its beautiful name."
Ji Fanyang wrote down in his notebook: "Where is Du Chengxian, do you have any close friends?"
"I don't think so." Du Xinhua said, "Chengxian was a bit withdrawn since he was a child, and he didn't like to talk to others. The only classmate he had a good time with in high school went to study abroad, and he became even more silent. In my impression , Chengxian has the most contact with only his colleagues."
Lu Hui nodded, he stood up and said, "Don't go out of the city in the near future, we will call you if something happens."
"Okay." Du Xinhua and Hu Fang also stood up.
Lu Hui turned to the others and said, "Okay, let's go."
Opening the door, Lu Hui and Zhong Yuxiu stepped out of the room first, followed by Xi Junhong and Ji Fanyang.
"Is this the end?" Xi Junhong asked.
Ji Fanyang said: "This is just basic information, and we have to sort it out and analyze it when we go back."
"Analysis? I didn't hear anything wrong." Xi Junhong scratched his head.
"That's why we need to analyze." Lu Hui said, he glanced at Fu Erdai with a half-smile, "Would liars write 'I'm a liar' on their foreheads?"
"Oh..." Xi Junhong murmured in response.
Ji Fanyang patted him on the shoulder sympathetically. After all, there are still too few people who can bear Lu Hui. Unfortunately, Ji Fanyang is one of them.
The group went downstairs to the car, Lu Hui opened the door and got into the co-pilot, Ji Fanyang and Xi Junhong sat in the back, and Zhong Yuxiu drove.
"Tell me." Lu Hui said, "What do you think?"
"What a coincidence." Zhong Yuxiu said, "What happened two years ago, traveling, getting burned, and moving."
"The burn is suspicious." Ji Fanyang said, "but his youngest daughter can prove..."
"Don't care what his daughter says." Lu Hui said, "Identical twins have the same DNA, and the only thing that can tell them apart is their fingerprints."
"Do you think children are lying?" Zhong Yuxiu raised her eyebrows, "How old is that little girl?"
"Lying exists in human genes." Lu Hui said, "Without fingerprints, our speculation can only be guesswork."
Zhong Yuxiu continued to remain silent, as if she couldn't accept the assumption that "children can lie".
"Back in the bureau, Ji Fanyang went to check Zhao Zifei's information. In the afternoon, Zhong Zu went to Peacock Food Co., Ltd. to ask colleagues. Ji Fanyang and I went to talk to Zhao Zifei." Lu Hui arranged the work.
"Okay." Zhong Yuxiu started the car, "Has Team Lu made any guesses?"
"It's too blurry." Lu Hui closed his eyes and fell asleep on the seat, "It makes sense but it doesn't make sense."
Lu Hui is used to sorting out the unreasonable one among a lot of seemingly reasonable clues, just like finding a broken thread in a dense logic network, but the clues of this case are intertwined, starting with "two years ago" In order to concentrate and spread out, everyone's rhetoric complements each other, but it is faintly wrong.
There are too many coincidences, too many to be weird.
"Is our focus still on that corpse?" Zhong Yuxiu questioned, "It seems that we are already investigating Du Cheng first."
"Du Chengxian has a secret." Lu Hui said, "What we have to do is to pull out the secret."
"In any way?" Xi Junhong asked.
"Any method." Lu Hui affirmed, he looked out the window, a father and daughter were walking on the sidewalk holding hands, the little girl was bouncing and chattering, and the father listened gently and patiently, Lu Hui's mind suddenly flashed, and said, " Let Sister Yang and Rao Feifei do the questioning about Zhao Zifei, Ji Fanyang, find out where Du Chengxian is taking his daughter for dinner tonight."
"The little girl said she wanted to eat shrimp." Ji Fanyang flipped through his notes, "Are we going to find them?"
"No." Lu Hui shook his head, "We're going to observe."
"What?" Ji Fanyang didn't understand, "What is there to observe when the father and daughter eat?"
"Du Chengxian is very kind to his daughter. If he has always been so kind to his daughter, where did his daughter learn to lie?" Lu Hui said.
"His daughter didn't lie." Zhong Yuxiu frowned, "Your assumption is wrong."
"Before we know the whole truth, we assume that everyone is lying," Lu Hui said, "whether old, weak, sick or disabled."
Ji Fanyang knew how stubborn Lu Hui was, so he hurriedly opened his mouth to ease the atmosphere: "This is how the Lu team handles cases. It doesn't take much for us to go and have a look, just treat it as dinner."
Zhong Yuxiu's face, which was as black as the bottom of a pot, improved a little.
Lu Hui said, "Do you have a daughter?"
Zhong Yuxiu froze for a moment, then nodded: "Well, four years old."
Lu Hui nodded and stopped talking.
Ji Fanyang took out a pack of egg rolls from his pocket and handed it to Lu Hui: "Eat some first."
Lu Hui took the egg roll and tore open the package, the corners of his lips curved slightly: "I knew you loved me the most."
Ji Fanyang shook his head helplessly.
Xi Junhong's eyes wandered back and forth between the co-pilot and his side: "You..."
"Xiao Ji is chasing me, and I never agreed." Lu Hui ran the train with his mouth full, chewing the crispy egg roll with a "click" in his mouth, "Xiao Ji is much more affectionate than you."
"Oh..." Xi Junhong seemed to really believe it.
Ji Fanyang interrupted Xi Junhong's meditation, dumbfounded: "Don't think about it, Team Lu is just teasing you."
"No, I'm serious." Lu Hui put on a serious expression, shaking the egg roll in his hand, "This is not an ordinary egg roll, this is a token of love."
"Look, there's no one in the Lu group who can't catch Rao Feifei, and she won it with just one egg roll." Ji Fanyang said.
"Hey, I haven't agreed yet." Lu Hui stared, "At least I want a cart of egg rolls."
"It would be great if Feifei, a carload of ice cream, could agree." Xi Junhong sighed.
Lu Hui ate the last bite of the egg roll and rolled his eyes: "Are all rich second generations as stupid as you? I'm going to change my career to cheat."
