Qin Jinhuan went out early the next morning, and Mu Yu, who felt refreshed after a good sleep, also got up early.
"It feels so good not to be sick!" She stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and stretched her waist.
The morning light appeared outside the window, and the evergreen trees in the yard stood obediently like quiet young boys, their branches motionless. Needless to say, it was another warm sunny day.
A while ago, rain and snow dominated the weather. In recent days, the weather has improved, and the temperature is slowly rising.
Mu Yu, who was originally in a better mood after getting over her cold, now feels better because the weather has gotten better.
After going downstairs to have breakfast, she asked Huang Bo to take her to work. On the way, she called Xin Yihan to greet Xiao Nian'er. Considering that she had just caught a cold, she decided to go see Xiao Nian'er in a few days.
"Feng, Teacher Feng?!" As soon as she entered the forensic room, Feng Rubing's figure gave her a big surprise, "Why did you come to work?!"
"The vacation is over, so naturally I have to come to work." Feng Rubing's tone was as indifferent as usual, but there was a rare smile on his face.
"Um, Rong..." Before Mu Yu could say the word "team", he was interrupted by Rong Jian's voice.
"Rubing, I bought it early and eat it while it's hot. Eh? Sister-in-law? Are you so early too? Have you eaten?"
"Eat, eat, don't worry about me, you can eat what you have." Mu Yu looked at Rong Jian with a smile on his face.
"Okay." Rong Jian then placed the breakfast in front of Feng Rubing and opened it, reminding her again to eat it while it was hot. Seeing her taking the chopsticks, he said again, "I'm going to enroll Qiqi now. I've already contacted Zhang Teacher, she will give Qiqi a set of test papers at noon to see how far Qiqi has fallen in her homework, and then she will give her targeted tutoring."
"good."
"Qiqi said she hasn't had steak for a long time, so we'll take her to truelove tonight."
"good."
"Qiqi said her sneakers are a bit tight and she needs to buy new sneakers for gym class."
"good."
"By the way, she said she also wanted to buy gloves, scarves and stationery. I asked her to make a list at home, and we would take her to do some shopping later."
"good."
"Uh..." Sensing Mu Yu's secret smile, Rong Jian smiled dryly, rubbed his hands, and said to Feng Rubing, "Let's have dinner together at noon."
"good."
"I mean eating out."
"It's good to eat in the cafeteria." Feng Rubing didn't respond well this time.
Knowing that she thought it was a waste of time, he immediately explained: "It's not far, just near our work, it only takes five or six minutes. I will call and make a reservation first, and you can have something to eat as soon as I get there. Uh, sister-in-law, can we come together?"
Mu Yu immediately waved his hands in a serious manner: "No, no, I like to eat in the canteen for lunch. Oops, I left my phone in the car. I'll get it. See you later."
You Mu Yu, you should have left long ago, okay? She complained to herself.
"Then let's invite you and Ah Huan to come together another day."
"Okay." Mu Yu responded from a distance after leaving the forensic room, and then walked to the corner of the corridor to wait for Rong Jian.
About seven or eight minutes later, Rong Jian came over.
"Team Rong!"
"sister in law."
"Now that I'm at work, you should call me Dr. Mu."
"What's with you?"
"Is there still no progress in Wu Xian's case?" Although he already had the answer in his mind, Mu Yu still asked in a pretentious manner.
The smile on Rong Jian's face finally disappeared, and he shook his head with difficulty: "No progress."
"Isn't the deadline stipulated above for solving the case coming soon? What should we do now?"
"Let's check it slowly. There's no point in rushing. I'm going to enroll Qiqi first. I'll be a little busy today. I've given Xiaofan full responsibility for the case for the time being. We'll talk later." Rong Jian said. , without waiting for Mu Yu to say anything, he hurried out of the hall.
Mu Yu silently watched Rong Jian's retreating figure and didn't make a sound for a long time.
Rong Jian is a person who puts his work first. He would choose to be busy with personal matters at this time, which shows that the case has really encountered a bottleneck.
Although she did not participate in the investigation of the case from beginning to end, she has been following the case. She is still very clear about many details, and she is also a little discouraged at this time.
Suddenly, Zhou Yitong, who was crying on the Yudai River Embankment, flashed before her eyes.
The investigation report of Qin Jinhuan's men said that Zhou Yitong often went to the Yudai River Embankment at night during this period. The section of the river embankment where she met Zhou Yitong was not far from the sluice where Wu Xian's accident occurred, and it was very quiet there at night. If Wu Xian fell into the water, Calling for help, if Zhou Yitong was also sitting in meditation at the place where she met Zhou Yitong that night, she should be able to hear the movement, right
She was a little unsure.
After thinking for a while, she quickly ran to Huang Bo's car and said a few words to Huang Bo before returning to the forensic room.
When she returned to the forensic room, Zhang Yiming and two other assistants also came to work. Together with the three intern students, the forensic room seemed very popular for a while.
Perhaps because of the taciturn Feng Rubing's presence, the others looked a little more reserved. No one spoke loudly, and they all found things to do.
Mu Yu originally wanted to say a few words to Feng Rubing, but when she saw him flipping through the information seriously, she didn't want to disturb him. Instead, she returned to her seat and turned on the computer to study Wu Xian's case carefully.
Just watching, her mind became dizzy with clueless thinking, until Huang Bo's call came in.
"Young Madam, I asked someone to do a test. You should be able to hear Wu Xian's cry for help from where you met Zhou Yitong."
"Should?" Mu Yu caught the ambiguous word.
"After all, we don't know what was going on at Wu Xian's side at that time. The conclusion I give you is just the result of what I heard when someone simulated Wu Xian falling into the water. But it is daytime, the weather is good, there are many people out for activities, and the sound is relatively It needs to be noisier. The weather was bad when Wu Xian's accident happened. It was around ten o'clock in the evening, and there was no one around the river embankment, so the sound would definitely travel farther than it does now. "
"In other words, on the night of Wu Xian's accident, if Wu Xian made a cry for help like the person you sent to simulate a drowning person, could it be heard more clearly where Zhou Yitong was staying?"
"Yes."
"So, can you find out whether Zhou Yitong went to the Yudai River Embankment that night?"
"It's not easy to check." There was difficulty in Huang Bo's voice. "Weng Yun quietly asked the janitor of the Xiao family before, but the other party could only give the answer that Zhou Yitong had the habit of walking on the Yudai River embankment at night. As for the specific days I went and which days I didn’t go, the gatekeeper couldn’t tell.”
"Isn't there a surveillance camera installed at the front door of his house?"
"It is said that Xiao Yuran feels that having surveillance cameras installed is like being monitored everywhere, so there are no surveillance cameras installed anywhere in his house."
"Have you asked the gatekeeper to think carefully?"
"Yes. I also gave some suggestive words, but the uncle couldn't give a very definite answer. The uncle is almost seventy years old, so it's normal for him not to remember clearly."
"Seventy years old?! Why did his family hire such an old man to guard the door?! Shouldn't a rich family like this hire a strong young man as a doorman to increase their sense of security?" Mu Yu was very surprised. .
"You don't have to worry about this. His home has a very advanced security system. Once criminals invade, the system will automatically call the police. In addition, I heard that the caretaker is a relative of Zhou Yitong's hometown.
Qi is a lonely old man who took good care of Zhou's mother and son. Zhou Yitong has always been grateful to him. After marrying Xiao Yu and getting rich, he gave a lot of money to the old man to support him in his old age. The old man felt that he should not take her money in vain, so he gave Her house looked at the door. "
Mu Yu was not surprised by Zhou Yitong's grateful behavior, because she had learned about Zhou Yitong's kindness and gentleness from Qin Chengxi.
Finally, she asked with some hesitation: "So, there is no way to verify whether Zhou Yitong went to the Yudai River Embankment that night?"
"Yes. You can only ask her personally."
Ask her personally...
Mu Yu smiled bitterly and hung up the phone.
If she directly asked Zhou Yitong if she heard the cry for help from the sluice on the Yudai River Embankment that night, wouldn't it be equivalent to telling Zhou Yitong that she knew that Zhou Yitong often went to the Yudai River Embankment to vent his emotions at night? Zhou Yitong is so forbearing because she doesn't want the public to know that she has friction with Xiao Yuran, and she just wants to maintain the public image of the loving couple.
What's more, she also suspected Xiao Yuran's sexual orientation from Zhou Yitong's strange reaction. In this case, would Zhou Yitong still dare to answer her questions truthfully
When she silently returned to the forensic room and just answered the phone, she deliberately went to a secluded place.
The moment she entered the forensic room door, she suddenly thought of a question: If Zhou Yitong really heard Wu Xian's cry for help that night, but chose to escape because of fear or fear of exposing the friction between herself and Xiao Yuran, what would she do for the first time? How dare you go to the Yudai River Embankment at that time the next night? From an average female psychological point of view, she will be very frightened when she hears the cry for help that night. She will be even more frightened the next day when she sees the news media reporting on the floodgate murder case. She has never dared to go to a place close to the murder scene at night for a long time. embankment.
But the next night, Zhou Yitong went to the river embankment again at the same time. Does this mean that she did not have this sense of terror in her heart? In other words, she did not go to the river embankment that night when Wu Xian's accident happened, and she did not hear Wu Xian's cry for help.
That’s not right either! Even if she didn't go to the embankment that night when Wu Xian's accident occurred, the news clearly stated the location of Wu Xian's accident. Knowing that a murder had occurred near the secluded place where she often went at night, she should have been alert even if she wasn't afraid. Bar
Maybe because the news mentioned that Wu Xian committed suicide and did not say that it was homicide, that's why she wasn't afraid, right? Psychiatrists are also doctors, and all doctors are more courageous than ordinary people, especially atheists.
After asking and explaining herself for a long time, Mu Yu not only failed to find any results, but actually made herself dizzy. She poured herself a glass of water in a depressed manner, and then sat in front of the computer, drinking and dazing.
The phone rang again, this time it was Qin Jinhuan.
"Xiao Yu, there is a banquet tomorrow night. Xiao Yuran and Zhou Yitong will attend. Are you interested?"
"I'm definitely interested if she wants to participate, but..." Because she was answering the phone in the forensic room, she chose to answer implicitly, "I'm afraid she won't be truthful to me then."
"Then let Rong Jian talk to her in the name of the police."
"That would definitely not tell the truth."
"That… "
"Then you can arrange the banquet for tomorrow first, and we'll see then."
Because it was very likely that finding a breakthrough from Zhou Yitong was her wild guess and a futile move, Mu Yu never thought of talking to Rong Jian about this matter.
Time passed quickly, and it was the evening of the next day in the blink of an eye.
In order to win Zhou Yitong's favor and win her trust, Mu Yu made careful preparations. At six o'clock in the evening, she and Qin Jinhuan arrived at the Jia Lai Hotel where the banquet was held on time.
"Eh? This, this isn't..." Mu Yu looked at the subtitles on the LED screen above the hotel in great surprise.
