Chen Shi said, "There is another person, Yan Qilin's best friend Xiao Ran, how much do you know about this girl?"
"Xiao Ran and I have a kind of kinship. They are not relatives. His father and my father are colleagues, but she is a divorced family. We are together in elementary and junior high schools. We envy each other and I envy her in the family. It has to be loose, she envied me having a complete family..." Zhang Jinlei gave a wry smile, "If you think about it carefully, neither of our families should be happy!"
Chen Shi didn't expect that he and Xiao Ran still had this relationship, and continued to ask: "Yan Qilin's diary mentioned that they both like you at the same time, but Xiao Ran quit on his own initiative. Is there such a thing?"
"Yeah!" Zhang Jinlei looked calm, "Actually, I am very grateful to her. She helped me match Yan Qilin. Xiao Ran is a very good girl, considerate and caring for others, just like a big sister. ."
Lin Dongxue interjected, "Listening to your tone, it seems that you still keep in touch after high school."
"we… "
At this time, someone opened the door with a key. A plainly dressed, plump woman walked in carrying a bag of food bought from the supermarket. She saw a stranger in the room and was slightly taken aback. Although the woman's appearance had changed a little, Lin Dongxue Still recognized at a glance, isn't she Xiao Ran
"Ran Ran, they are the police, who came to investigate the case." Zhang Jinlei said.
"Oh, how are you... You are not the policemen back then, have you changed people in this case again?"
"We are from the Interpol Team of the Municipal Bureau. Your relationship with Zhang Jinlei is..."
"Friends of boy and girl!", "Cohabitation." The two spoke together, and then glanced at each other.
"When did you start dating?" Lin Dongxue asked.
"No, no, we are not dating. We met by chance a few years ago. She was renting a house at the time. I asked to share a house with her, and then I lived together. My life is relatively useless and I have always been taking care of me."
Xiao Ran said: "We haven't established a relationship. It's more like living together. I was unemployed and never looked for a job. I just do housework and take care of Jin Lei. I know this kind of relationship is strange, but since it happened. After Yan Qilin's tragedy, it has dealt a great blow to us, and it can be regarded as another form of group warming."
"It's our negligence that we haven't been able to detect this case, I'm sorry." Lin Dongxue said.
"It's okay, I know you have been investigating. Did you come to him to find out about the situation today?" Xiao Ran said.
Chen Shi said: "The original plan was to visit the two of you. Since you are together, it couldn't be more convenient. Miss Xiao, can you talk to another place alone?"
Xiao Ran took a look at Zhang Jinlei and said, "I understand, when you ask questions, you don't want interference... I put the dishes in the refrigerator."
Xiao Ran opened the refrigerator and put the food in the same way. The things in the refrigerator were arranged in an orderly manner, which did not match this messy studio. Then she cleaned away the cups and some garbage used on the table. Now, Zhang Jinlei said: "Don't drink coffee all the time, drink plenty of water."
"Don't charge me those things, I haven't used them up yet."
"understood."
Listening to the tone of this conversation, it seems that the two are very familiar with each other, as if they were a husband and wife.
Later, Xiao Ran changed his coat and went downstairs with the two of them. There was a car parked downstairs. Xiao Ran said, "Ah, I forgot. I wanted to ask Jin Lei to help park the car. ."
Chen Shi said: "Let me come!"
"Thank you so much."
Chen Shi whispered to Lin Dongxue: "Divert attention." Then he took the key and got into the car and parked the car skillfully in the parking space. Lin Dongxue and Xiao Ran were chatting, Chen Shi opened the locker when she was unprepared and checked. For a moment.
A picture of Zhang Jinlei and Xiao Ran was posted on the door of the cabinet. It looked special, like a couple.
In addition to this, there are some debris, nothing important. When Chen Shi got out of the car, he suddenly found a piece of paper under the seat. He picked it up and looked at it. It was a small piece of yellow paper that was burned to the deceased.
Seeing that the car was parked, Xiao Ran said some words of thanks, and Chen Shi asked, "Whose car owns this car?"
"Of course it belongs to Jin Lei. I have no income. The house and car belong to him."
"Oh, I bought the house." Chen Shi looked up, "It seems that Zhang Jinlei's income is pretty good. I want to be a famous painter."
"I can’t talk about being famous. In fact, his family often gave him money. The good name is that he lent him to live. In fact, his parents didn’t expect him to pay it back. He hasn’t returned home for these years, but the family’s financial support has never stopped. pass."
"So, does he have a poor relationship with his family?"
"Well, how do I put it..."
"Don't worry, let's find a place outside to sit down."
The three came to the outside of the community. There was a fast food restaurant nearby. They found a secluded seat inside and ordered three drinks.
Xiao Ran said very generously: "You can ask anything. The police have visited the house very often in recent years. They are always investigating. I really hope that one day they will come to inform us that the murderer has been caught."
Chen Shi said, "Don't worry, there will be that day. How is your relationship with Yan Qilin?"
"Sister, you know that she is introverted and her family is not very good. For a while, she was excluded by classmates. I can say that she is her only friend. Her diary should still be there with you. It mentioned that I like to like her together. Jin Lei, and then I took the initiative to withdraw. Actually, that’s not a big deal. Jin Lei and I have known each other since we were young, and we have always had a good relationship with each other, but we haven’t broken anything. Then one day Yan Qilin told me that she had someone she likes. Honestly. Saying this kind of plot is pretty bloody, why do good girlfriends always like someone? Maybe it’s because of similar personalities! The reason why I quit silently is very simple. Once you are admitted to the ideal university, everything else can be put aside."
Lin Dongxue said: "I remember that you went to a three-college university."
"Yes." Xiao Ran looked regretful. "The exam was smashed. After finishing the third year of high school, I was physically and mentally exhausted. Although I had the idea of repeating studies, I gave up, and my family background is not so good, plus I fill in the report. Yan Qilin and I basically didn’t meet each other during the summer vacation that year. We only contacted by mobile phone. I heard that Zhang Jinlei broke up with her family because of her, and the two almost eloped. This happened again, and it hit us all very hard. I always thought that this kind of murder would only happen on TV. Who knew it happened to us, and it was my best friend, even if it happened. Many years have passed, but when I think about it, it still seems to be fake..."
Chen Shi asked unexpectedly: "Do you go to the crime scene to pay homage to her every year?"
Xiao Ran was surprised and said, "How did you know?"
