In a cafe outside the community.

After Wen Yufan took a few sips of coffee, his mood stabilized and he began to tell Xu Jinghao about his experiences during this period.

"Since I broke up with Jiang Manman, I have always wanted to find her, but I have been rejected. I had no choice but to quietly squat in front of your company and wait until you get off work to follow her back. At that time, I knew The reason why she broke up with me."

Xu Jinghao felt a little uncomfortable when she heard the word stalking.

Wen Yufan noticed Xu Jing's good expression, bit his lip, and said, "I know this is wrong, but I always feel that Jiang Manman must have been deceived. In fact, she is a very simple girl."

"Innocent?" Xu Jing almost sneered as she thought of Jiang Manman's brand-name bag of unknown origin and her lax work attitude.

Wen Yufan was a little anxious and tried to defend himself: "She was not like this before! When Jiang Manman was still in school, she was always a quiet and hard-working girl! She never went home during the holidays and worked outside to earn money. .”

"Is Jiang Manman like this before?" Xu Jinghao was a little surprised. This was seriously inconsistent with the young lady in her impression. She almost thought she had found the wrong person.

"It's all because of that man! If he hadn't been bewitched by that man, Jiang Manman wouldn't have become like that!" Wen Yufan punched the table with his fist, which shocked Xu Jing. He could only hear him gritting his teeth. Said: "That old man gave Jiang Manman a new job and rented a house specifically for her. He often goes there. I can hardly imagine what they are doing there!"

Xu Jing finally understood that the real innocent person was not Jiang Manman, but the man in front of her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but compare Wen Yufan and Du Xian. Of course, Du Xian was much better off. Speaking of which, I haven't spoken to Du Xian for a long time. The only time I had close contact was when I was interrogated by the police, that embarrassing moment.

Wen Yufan gradually went off topic at this point, and kept cursing the old, ugly, hunchbacked man. Xu Jinghao had already guessed that the man must be Lao Luo. But she was eager to know what was going to happen next, but she had no intention of listening to a man's complaints.

"What happened next?" Xu Jing calmly brought Wen Yufan back to the topic.

It seemed that he had finished venting, or maybe Wen Yufan had too little vocabulary. After scolding the Three Character Classic a few times, he felt that it was no longer interesting. He took a sip of coffee to moisten his throat and continued: "Although I found her later I also went directly to her residence, but was scolded. After that, I only dared to follow her quietly and never appeared in front of her again. Just some time ago, I suddenly received a call from Jiang Manman. "

Xu Jinghao sat up straight. She knew that the important point was coming.

Wen Yufan tried hard to recall the details at that time, and said slowly: "She used a new number. I was surprised at the time, but as soon as I heard the voice, I was sure it was her."

"Tell me the important point!" Xu Jinghao rubbed her temples, almost impatient.

"She called me suddenly and scolded me." Wen Yufan said concisely.

"That's it?" Xu Jing felt like she was being tricked by the other party, and she was about to get angry.

"But what she said is very strange!" Wen Yufan was a little afraid of the woman in front of him and said quickly: "What am I threatening her? I used a snake to scare her."

"Snake?" Xu Jing captured this word keenly. This was exactly what she wanted to know. Maybe Jiang Manman had seen the true face of the snake-shaped object. The thing that Lao Luo mentioned when he was drunk must be very important, maybe it was his tool for committing crimes. Xu Jinghao calmed down and signaled Wen Yufan to continue.

Wen Yufan continued timidly: "I had no idea what she was talking about, and she didn't listen even when I tried to explain. Finally, she warned me not to harass her again, and then hung up the phone."

"That's what she said." Wen Yufan continued timidly: "I had no idea what she was talking about, and she wouldn't listen no matter how much she explained. Finally, she warned me not to harass her again, and then hung up the phone. . The more I thought about it, the more aggrieved I became, so a few days later, I mustered up the courage to go to the apartment to find her. Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a woman fighting with Jiang Manman, and the old man was right next to her. Watching. At that time, my mind got hot and I rushed over. It seemed that the woman was hit in the chaos. The man suddenly cursed and drove Jiang Manman out. "

"Just like that, Jiang Manman had no place to live, so she moved back. I thought she could come back to me, but I didn't expect that the night before yesterday, I overheard her talking to that man on the phone again. During the process, Jiang Manman Manman seemed to be saying something, 'I already know your secret...' After that, the man didn't know what he said. Jiang Manman laughed a few times and then hung up the phone. I returned to the room, Jiang Manman was excited. She told me that we would soon be rich. I asked her why, and she said that she had something to do with that man."

"What handle!" Xu Jinghao asked.

Wen Yufan shook his head, "Jiang Manman refused to say anything. She just told me that if she got the money, she would live a good life with me. Early the next morning, Jiang Manman went out and didn't tell me where she was going when I asked her. So I took a peek at her phone while she was putting on makeup and saw the words 'Xishan Botanical Garden'."

"Xishan Botanical Garden?" Xu Jinghao secretly wrote down the name of the place.

"She left and never came back!" Wen Yufan held his head and said angrily: "I should have stopped her at that time! We finally returned to the way we were before, and we just need to live peacefully in the future. Why? I want to covet that money! But I didn’t expect that she would never come back after leaving.”

Perhaps because of the bad relationship with Jiang Manman, Xu Jinghao didn't have much sympathy for Wen Yufan's sadness. What Xu Jinghao cares about most now is what Lao Luo's secret is. Obviously Jiang Manman knows it. Not only did she not sympathize with Jiang Manman's experience at this time, but she secretly hated him for not telling her secret and then disappearing. During this conversation, Xu Jinghao did not get much useful information, and she felt that her hope of finding evidence of Lao Luo's crime was getting slimmer.

Xu Jinghao suddenly remembered the police who visited this morning and asked Wen Yufan, "Did you call the police?"

"No." Wen Yufan replied in a low voice.

"Why!" Xu Jing asked strangely.

"I..." Wen Yufan hesitated for a long time before saying, "I have... a criminal record and I dare not go to the police station."

Xu Jinghao became more and more contemptuous of Wen Yufan.

After sitting there for a while, Xu Jing was sure that she could no longer ask for any useful information, so she turned around and left. However, Wen Yufan got entangled with her, trying to get Xu Jinghao to help him find Jiang Manman's whereabouts. At the worst, he also wanted to find evidence of Lao Luo's crime. Xu Jinghao still had a headache, but in order to escape, she had no choice but to agree. After the two exchanged mobile phone numbers, they finally parted ways.

On the way back, Xu Jing was in a bad mood. Looking at a police station outside the car window, the idea of reporting a crime flashed through her mind. But as the police station disappeared from sight, this idea disappeared again.

When I got home, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening. Xu Jinghao almost traveled across the entire city tonight, and the bumpy journey made her so tired that she threw herself on the bed and fell asleep without even taking off her makeup. Maybe she was really tired, Xu Jinghao was late for the first time in her history. When she rushed to the company, she suddenly found that something was wrong in the atmosphere. The colleagues all had strange expressions on their faces, and they all looked at the corner of the office, where Anne was standing there with her head shrunken. There was another person standing opposite her. He was fat and hunched. Xu Jing knew at a glance that it was Lao Luo. It's just that Lao Luo was facing away at this time, and he didn't know what his face was like, but Xu Jinghao saw Lao Luo holding up a document.

Seeing the words on the cover of the document clearly, Xu Jing had an ominous premonition. It was originally something that Xu Jinghao worked overtime to make yesterday, but because she was looking for Jiang Manman, she gave it to Annie. Xu Jinghao couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Annie didn't do it yesterday? Xu Jinghao couldn't help but feel a little angry, and secretly complained about Annie.

Just as he was thinking this, Lao Luo cursed something in a deep voice and finally turned around. Xu Jinghao saw Lao Luo's face clearly. At that moment, she was stunned for a while, and then there was a crazy urge to laugh in her heart!
