Jian Jing asked, "What's wrong with Elena?"
"Take our honeymoon for example. We went to France. She is of Chinese and Italian descent and doesn't speak French," Si Yingjie recalled. "One day I went out for a drink with my friends. When I came back at night, I heard her chatting with someone through the hotel door. She was speaking French."
Kang Mucheng asked: "What did you say?"
Si Yingjie sighed: "She also knows that I am not good at French. She only understood 'I know' and 'Don't worry', but is that the problem? It is normal to know French. Why did she lie to me and say she couldn't speak French?"
"Maybe it was your ex-boyfriend who taught you that, so you don't want to tell me." Jian Jing livened up the atmosphere, "Anything else?"
"When we went to the United States, we were shopping one day when something suddenly happened. She immediately pulled me to the store next door and asked us to guess what happened." Si Yingjie did not wait for their answers and revealed the mystery himself, "A gunshot! No one around us reacted at the time, but she heard it right away."
Kang Mucheng said: "People living abroad are more sensitive to gunshots, which is normal."
"Okay, even if these two things have reasonable explanations, the third thing is absolutely weird."
Jian Jing was intrigued: "What is it?"
Si Yingjie said carefully: "From the time we met to the time we divorced, we never had a quarrel."
Jian Jing: “???”
"Little girl, you don't understand. Mucheng, do you think this is scientific?" Si Yingjie asked, "If you don't know me, do you think it's a little strange?"
Jian Jing was puzzled: "What's so strange about not quarreling?"
Kang Mucheng shook his head, somewhat in agreement: "Yingjie has a bad temper and is careless in his work. He has quarreled with me several times, and he quarrels with Yang Xiao every three days and a big quarrel every half a month."
"Correct answer, Jingjing is still young, Brother Yingjie will tell you some life experience, that is - there is no such thing as soul mate in the world. No matter how much you like someone, there will be times when you don't get along and want to quarrel." Si Yingjie's face was full of caution, "A woman never quarrels with her lover, there is only one explanation."
Jian Jing: “Ah?”
"She doesn't love me." Si Yingjie sighed and said faintly, "Don't think I'm careless. It's hard to explain my intuition. Elena is a mysterious person. I can't figure her out, and I'm completely fascinated by her. If I don't end it soon, she might sell me out and make me pay for it."
Kang Mucheng frowned: "After I mentioned divorce, how did Elena react?"
Si Yingjie said: "She looked at me for a long time and said, 'It turns out that love comes quickly and disappears just as quickly', and then she signed the divorce agreement."
Jian Jing also felt it was strange. Marriage was not a joke. Wasn't there any effort to keep her from getting married? But then she thought again. Elena seemed to have a very carefree personality. Maybe she didn't take marriage seriously.
Besides, "If she didn't love you, she wouldn't have any motive to kill Yang Xiao." She said, "If it's not for love, then if it's for money, she won't easily agree to divorce you."
Si Yingjie thought about it and felt that it made sense. He couldn't help but said dejectedly: "Who could it be?"
Jian Jing asked: "Did you just say that Ah Xu likes Yang Xiao?"
"That happened a long time ago. He and Xiaoxiao are on good terms now." Si Yingjie was surprised. "You won't doubt him, right?"
Jian Jing said calmly: "I don't doubt anyone now, and I doubt everyone. What about Yaoyao, has she ever dated anyone?"
"Yaoyao had a boyfriend before. His family was very ordinary. We didn't know him. Later they broke up and we didn't ask." Si Yingjie said, "It can't be them. We are all old friends."
Jian Jing didn't comment, "What about Zong Xunmei and Coach Yin?"
Si Yingjie shook his head: "I don't know him."
Kang Mucheng didn't recognize him at all, but was very concerned about another thing: "His surname was Zong before..." He stopped talking halfway.
Jian Jing tensed her face, looking as cold as winter: "What's wrong?"
"Cough." Si Yingjie cleared his throat suddenly.
Kang Mucheng changed his words: "Nothing."
Jian Jing entered emotional case-solving mode: "Do you have the social media account of Yang Xiao's fiancé?"
Si Yingjie said: "You can ask Yaoyao about this, she should know."
"Okay." Jian Jing went to find her next.
Yaoyao was in the kitchen, the floor was covered with ketchup, it was sticky. She was mopping the floor, and she saw Jian Jing was embarrassed: "I wanted to make a sandwich, but I was absent-minded and spilled it all."
"Then I'll come back later." Jian Jing said.
"It's okay." Yaoyao tidied up a little, asked her to sit in the living room, and offered her a glass of mint lemonade, "What's the matter?"
Jian Jing asked her to repeat the details of the discovery of the body, and then asked about Yang Xiao and her fiancé.
"Brother Li? He has a Twitter account with quite a few fans." Yaoyao told him the account, but couldn't hide her sorrow. "It hasn't been long since Brother Li died, and Xiaoxiao also had an accident. Sigh."
Jian Jing's heart moved: "How did Mr. Li die?"
Yaoyao smiled bitterly: "Car accident."
She knew all about this matter and immediately explained the whole story. It turned out that Li's fiancé used to love extreme sports and was also a racing driver. Although he later retired, he was still very courageous.
It rained heavily that day. He heard that Yang Xiao had been robbed and was admitted to the hospital. He was anxious and drove at high speed.
The visibility was poor and the car was going at a high speed. Although he had good driving skills, he was unable to withstand the improper reactions of others, failed to brake properly, and crashed into the car.
Li's fiancé was seriously injured and died after failed rescue efforts.
This means that if there are any of his admirers present, they will most likely think that Yang Xiao killed him and plan to take revenge.
Jian Jing started to look through the other party's social media account and asked, "I chatted with Elena for a long time yesterday. Did you know each other before?"
"No, before coming to the island, I didn't know she was Yingjie's ex-wife. They got married in a flash and didn't even have a wedding." Yaoyao hesitated for a moment and sighed, "I always feel that Yingjie and Elena got married to get revenge on Xiaoxiao."
Jian Jing asked with great interest: "Then do you think Elena likes Brother Yingjie?"
Yaoyao stuck out her tongue: "I don't know, she seems to be a bit impulsive, getting married on a whim and getting divorced when things don't go well, she doesn't have deep feelings."
This coincided with what Si Yingjie said. Jian Jing thought for a while and asked again: "Do you know if Yang Xiao has any admirers?"
"Xiaoxiao? Her love history is very simple, just Yingjie, Li Ge, oh, Axu pursued her before." Yaoyao was curious, "Why are you asking this, who are you suspecting?"
Jian Jing said: "Just asking casually, I just feel that your relationship is quite complicated."
The conversation with Yaoyao ended here. Next, she visited Axu and Coach Yin.
Coincidentally, they are also busy.
Ah Xu bared his teeth as Coach Yin applied medicine to his knee: "Be patient, it's just to remove the poison."
Jian Jing asked with concern: "Brother Xu, why are you injured?"
"Just now we went to the mountain to spread pesticides, and I accidentally fell down." Ah Xu said awkwardly, "I have poor balance and I fall down easily."
"Is it serious?" Jian Jing turned her head slightly and glanced at the medicine box.
Coach Yin said: "There's a cut from a stone, but luckily it's not deep and it can be healed with a little treatment." She explained while bandaging with skillful movements.
Jian Jing asked: "You are so skilled, do you know first aid?"
"Diving coaches need to take a first aid certificate." Coach Yin smiled and said, "Of course I can."
She nodded thoughtfully and got straight to the point: "I want to ask you a few questions."
The first one is naturally the past of A Xu and Yang Xiao.
Ah Xu admitted frankly: "I knew her first, but love is unpredictable. If we are not meant to be together, then we are not meant to be together. We later became friends, and Yingjie also knew about it."
Instead, he asked, "You don't think I would kill someone for something that happened seven or eight years ago now that I have a girlfriend, do you?"
"Our relationship is a little complicated, please don't be surprised." Jian Jing smiled slightly.
She forgot when she started to realize it, but when she concentrated on solving a case, she seemed to put on a mask, became more talkative, more sociable, like a killer hiding in the jungle, patiently looking for flaws in her prey.
She turned to Coach Yin, her expression becoming intriguing: "What do you think, Coach Yin?"
Coach Yin bit his lip and suddenly asked, "Are you trying to ask about my relationship with Li Xiu?"
Ah Xu was stunned: "Li Xiu? Xiaoxiao's fiancé? They..."
He looked surprised, but there was no extreme emotional fluctuation. It was obvious that he thought it was normal for adult men and women to have some past, and there was really no need to make a fuss about it.
"Among the diving coaches in this area, I can't say I'm the best, but I can say I'm the second best," Coach Yin explained. "Li Xiu wanted to find a female coach, so of course he found me, but we didn't have a formal meeting and we didn't talk about it again."
Jian Jing nodded slightly.
She had previously looked through Li's fiancé's social media account and found Coach Yin in a photo taken three years ago. But in that one photo, a month later, he was already holding another woman's waist.
However, even so, the relationships between the characters are quite confusing now.
Si Yingjie and Elena.
Si Yingjie and Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao and A Xu.
A Xu and Coach Yin.
Coach Yoon and his fiancé Lee.
Li's fiancé and Yang Xiao.
It is so wonderful that it is not even worthy of being called Shura Field. It should be called Ancient Battlefield.
Jian Jing wrote and drew in her notebook for a long time and determined her next target: Zong Xunmei.
After walking around for a while, I finally found someone sitting on a lounge chair next to the swimming pool.
He drank his cold beer and said calmly: "Is it my turn?"
"Are you looking forward to my coming, or are you afraid of my coming?" She spoke sharply, her eyes like knives, staring into his face.
However, Zong Xunmei's attitude was surprisingly sincere: "Of course I look forward to it." After a pause, he said in an extremely casual but also extremely confident tone, "Yang Xiao's death has nothing to do with me. I didn't kill her."
Jian Jing would never believe him so easily. She just kept silent and asked, "Oh? I don't think it's an accident."
"I know you don't believe me, so just listen to my thoughts." He supported his chin with his hand and leaned back in his chair calmly. He was still charming, just like last night.
But Jian Jing was very observant and realized that he was hiding the expression between his eyebrows at this time, which only made people feel that he was outstanding in appearance, but did not give the illusion that he was aroused.
It turned out that he did it on purpose yesterday, as he was able to control himself so freely.
Zong Xunmei said: "I often go back and forth to tropical islands, and it is rare to see coral snakes in this area. And the wounds from snake bites are very special. The wound on Yang Xiao's arm was not caused by fangs, but poison needles."
Jane remained calm: "Anything else?"
"The window of the room was open. The murderer must be familiar with her daily routine and knew that she liked to sleep with the window open. After all, it is not easy to get the venom of the coral snake unless it is intentional." Zong Xunmei said, "The key is who had the time to commit the crime and what method was used to kill him."
Jian Jing was a little disappointed: "It's useless to say it."
He shrugged and said with a smile: "I tried my best. Reasoning is not my strong point."
"Then how do you know about me?" she asked back.
"It's a secret." Zong Xunmei smiled. "However, based on my observation of Yang Xiao, she is kind and peaceful, without the arrogance of a rich lady, and is not easily mistaken for a sinner. Most of those present today are her friends. The possibility of a revenge killing is very small, and the probability of a love killing is higher."
Jian Jing simply sat down and also took shelter on the reclining chair under the parasol: "Love killing? Are you hinting at Elena?"
He said, "No, Elena teased and seduced Si Yingjie more than she was affectionate with him. She wouldn't kill anyone for this. But Si Yingjie and Yang Xiao were flirting with each other, and they were still connected, hesitant to talk, just like a romance drama. It's very likely that he's turned from love to hate."
These words hit upon Jian Jing's hidden worries.
We are not blind. Si Yingjie and Yang Xiao are deeply in love, and love is the most unreasonable thing. If there is any misunderstanding and someone is killed accidentally, it is not a delusion.
She really didn't want to doubt Si Yingjie, but she still had reservations about him.
