Chapter 1990

After a while, Master Xi gasped heavily, and then asked again: "Gu Chen, is there any evidence for what you just said?"

"No." Gu Chen shook his head, and quickly explained: "I also checked the results based on various situations at the scene."

"Because from the beginning to the end, Luo Ping's mobile phone is basically inseparable from his body, and he has a mobile phone in his hand no matter where he is."

"But only after meeting Xiaomei, his mobile phone disappeared and he stopped looking at his mobile phone."

"And our investigation also shows that during the period after Luo Ping, no one really approached him."

"After he got on the roof, he was directly beaten to death by Feng Yijun, and Feng Yijun had no time to touch his mobile phone at all."

"I understand." After getting Gu Chen's exact result, Master Xi hurriedly said again:

"Now, immediately, help me get Xiaomei's contact information, and I will take someone to find her tonight."

"Since you can't find Xu Ting, then find Xiaomei. You can't leave empty-handed tonight."

Master Xi also seemed to be a little exhausted from tonight's actions.

Especially in the process of looking for Xu Ting, feeling like being teased by others is not Xi Ye's personality.

Being teased by Xu Ting, she must find her dignity with Xiaomei.

Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, and then said again: "Senior Sister Wu, don't worry, I need to contact Xiaomei's whereabouts first, just wait for me."

"Okay, I'm outside now, after you find her whereabouts, tell me right away."

"Row."

The two also explained to each other, and then they both hung up the phone.

Afterwards, Gu Chen quickly found Liu Jingru's contact information and called her directly.

The phone rang for a brief second, and Liu Jingru's phone was connected.

"Senior Gu Chen, did you call me so late, is there something important?" Liu Jingru seemed to be more concerned about the affairs of Fuxing Village.

And with so many things happening, now Liu Jingru seems to have become more cautious when speaking.

"You haven't slept yet?" Thinking that it was already late at night, Liu Jingru should have fallen asleep.

But the call was connected within a second, which meant that Liu Jingru was playing with her mobile phone.

Liu Jingru also smiled and said: "I can't sleep, so many things happened tonight, I'm a little confused, so I'm chasing dramas, and reduce work pressure."

After thinking about it, Liu Jingru hurriedly said again: "By the way, Senior Gu Chen, you haven't told me yet, you called me so late, do you have something important to ask me? You're fine but you never call me."

Liu Jingru, who knew Gu Chen's personality, also guessed that Gu Chen called her late at night. It must be that she had made some important breakthroughs in the process of handling the case and needed her help.

Gu Chen also admitted, "Yes, there is something I want to ask you about. Do you know Xiaomei's contact information and home address?"

"Xiaomei?" Liu Jingru hesitated when she heard Gu Chen mention her friend.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Gu Chen asked.

"No problem." Liu Jingru smiled wryly, and quickly said: "But, you suddenly asked Xiaomei, did Xiaomei commit a crime?"

"Well, we suspect that she has something to do with Luo Ping's death, but this needs to be confirmed."

"You just need to tell me her contact information and her current home address. You don't need to ask about the rest, and don't mention this to anyone."

"I understand." Knowing that Gu Chen has been preparing for the mystery of the case in Fuxing Village for a long time these days, and now there is another murder case, Liu Jingru also wants to do her part.

Although Xiaomei is in the same dance team as herself, the relationship between the two is not close, they can only be regarded as nodding acquaintances.

So Liu Jingru told Gu Chendao: "I will send you Xiaomei's contact information later. She is currently living with another sister in Futian Apartment, Building B, Room 1112."

"Are you sure?" Gu Chen asked.

"Basically, she has lived there all the time. Once I went there to have dinner with friends, and she invited us to visit upstairs together, so I remember it clearly."

"Okay, that's it, thank you Liu Jingru."

"Need not……"

Before Liu Jingru finished speaking, there was a "beep beep" hang up sound from the other end of the phone.

Gu Chen turned around and passed Xiaomei's message directly to Lord Xi.

After that, he woke up Police Officer Wang and told him that he needed to go to the Furong branch.

...

...

1:20 am.

Furong Sub-bureau, Interrogation Room No. 3.

Xiaomei sat on the interrogation chair, listless.

Master Xi and Wu Xiaofeng were sitting there. Before they could start asking questions, the door slowly opened.

Gu Chen, who was wearing a mask and a police cap, walked in directly from the outside.

After Gu Chen entered the room, he did not take off his police cap, but lowered the brim of the cap very low to prevent Xiaomei from recognizing her appearance too much.

Seeing this situation, Master Xi intentionally moved half of his body away.

After Gu Chen sat down, he asked casually, "Did you find your phone?"

"I've found it." Wu Xiaofeng nodded silently, and also reminded: "I have handed it over to Senior Brother He, and Senior Brother He will take care of everything."

"Very good." Gu Chen was very satisfied with Wu Xiaofeng's reply, which was exactly the same as his previous reasoning.

And Master Xi is also exhausted at the moment, and his eyelids seem to be extremely heavy.

It can be said that Grandpa Xi was busy all night and never rested at all.

Gu Chen also sympathized with Master Xi's hard work, so he took the initiative to ask: "Leave the interrogation to me."

"Okay." Master Xi didn't mind, and nodded slightly.

After Gu Chen opened the notebook, he turned to Master Xi and asked, "How was her situation when you found her?"

"What else? This woman was sleeping, we immediately questioned her, and found two of Luo Ping's mobile phones in her bedside cabinet."

Taking a deep breath, Master Xi said again: "But until now, this woman just refuses to explain."

"Understood." After getting the basic situation, Gu Chen also nodded slightly, and turned to look at Xiaomei in front of him.

Since Gu Chen had always been fully armed when meeting Xiaomei, Xiaomei only cared about greeting Liu Jingru and didn't pay attention to the surrounding crowd at all.

Therefore, Gu Chen had no scruples and asked her directly: "What's your full name?"

"Zhuang Xiaomei." Xiaomei said coldly.

"Report your ID number," Gu Chen said.

"identification number……"

With a reluctant tone, Zhuang Xiaomei explained everything in detail.

After Gu Chen finished recording the basic information, he raised his head and asked her, "Do you know why you were brought to the police station at night?"

"I don't know." Zhuang Xiaomei put on a tugging look, as if she was still very unconvinced.

"Why is Luo Ping's cell phone on you?" Gu Chen didn't play around with her either.

Zhuang Xiaomei hesitated for a few seconds before replying: "He borrowed so much money from me, so what if I take his two mobile phones?"

"I know him. He borrowed so much money from me. I'm sure I won't come back."

"He said he was going to Yunnan Province to do business, but in the end he stayed at home. This guy is clearly a liar."

"So you want to kill him?" Master Xi asked.

Zhuang Xiaomei's expression was startled, and she quickly denied: "You...don't talk nonsense, why should I kill him? Is he worth my hand?"

"But according to what we know about you, you are a person who will take revenge. It is said that you are very popular in bars, and many people dare not provoke you." Gu Chen also said one by one, telling what he knew.

Zhuang Xiaomei suddenly felt that this group of policemen had a lot of background, and in just one night, they had clearly figured out their cards.

Even his reputation in the bar can be known. It can be seen that the gang of policemen seem to have investigated their own details before bringing themselves to the police station.

"Zhuang Xiaomei, I want to ask you something." Seeing that Zhuang Xiaomei didn't speak for a long time, Wu Xiaofeng, who was taking notes at the side, couldn't help but slammed the table.

"I... I am very famous in the bar, I am a person who will take revenge, but who do I have to look at?"

"Don't Luo Ping deserve to be revenged by you?" Hearing what Zhuang Xiaomei said, Master Xi asked following her train of thought.

Zhuang Xiaomei shook her head: "No, the main thing is that he is my boyfriend, he cheated on me, of course I was angry, especially when he lent me so much money and then disappeared without a word for half a year."

Looking up at the crowd, Zhuang Xiaomei leaned forward and said angrily, "Do you know how I have spent the past six months?"

"Because of him, my sisters all thought that I had met a liar, and laughed at me for having no money. I, Zhuang Xiaomei, also want to save face. Just being deceived by him like this, I have to ask clearly, right?"

"But what's the matter with taking Luo Ping's phone with you?" Gu Chen immediately asked again.

Zhuang Xiaomei's expression was startled, and she also stammered back: "This...Isn't this just to find out what he has been doing in the past six months?"

"Snapped!"

Just as Zhuang Xiaomei finished speaking, Master Xi slapped the table angrily, causing Zhuang Xiaomei to tremble in fright.

"Zhuang Xiaomei, don't you want to see where this is? This is the interrogation room of Furong Branch."

"It's not a place for you to talk nonsense. When you met Luo Ping for the first time in half a year, you just took his cell phone and didn't even communicate with him properly. If you didn't ask him about his situation in the past six months, do you think we are stupid?"

"I'll tell you, Zhuang Xiaomei, don't pretend to be in front of me about your relationship with Luo Ping. Why haven't you seen each other for half a year? Have you been in touch all the time? Haven't you?"

Also based on the reasoning ideas provided by Gu Chen, Master Xi didn't care too much at the moment, and directly scolded Zhuang Xiaomei in front of him.

Zhuang Xiaomei looked domineering just now, but after Master Xi's operation, everyone was stupefied in shock.

The whole person trembled instantly, like a frightened cat, its body curled up involuntarily.

"Say, have you been in touch with Luo Ping for the past six months? And did Luo Ping let you go with these two phones on purpose?"

"No... no... no."

"No?" Seeing that Zhuang Xiaomei seemed to be going all the way to the dark, Master Xi frowned slightly, and said with a smile: "Luo Ping has always held his mobile phone in his hand, and everyone on the scene in Fuxing Village knows that." I saw it."

"And it's the kind that never leaves his mobile phone from the beginning to the end. Even before he saw you, he was still playing with his mobile phone at the long table banquet."

"But your appearance seems to have changed everything. After you reprimanded Luo Ping, you splashed the juice on the table on his face, and then Luo Ping's cell phone on the table disappeared."

"And during the following period, Luo Ping never touched the mobile phone again, and he did not look for the mobile phone. Until the end, he was murdered, and the mobile phone was not with him."

After a pause, Master Xi also said in a bad mood: "It can be seen that Luo Ping knew the fact that you walked away with his mobile phone before, but he didn't respond at all."

"This can only show that before going to the rooftop, Luo Ping gave you both mobile phones and asked you to keep them safe for him."

"As for the conflict between the two of you at the long table banquet, maybe you were acting on purpose so that people around you would know that you two had no contact for half a year, isn't that true?"

Faced with Master Xi's repeated questions, Zhuang Xiaomei kept her head down, as if she was powerless to refute.

When Gu Chen saw this, he said earnestly, "I'm talking about Zhuang Xiaomei, Luo Ping's death was not that simple. We suspect that he was involved in a major case."

"Before he went to the rooftop, he deliberately avoided the monitoring of Fuxing Village. It can be seen that he didn't want to be known about his going to the rooftop."

"This shows that he is going to meet an important person, and the mobile phone cannot be carried with him, otherwise he will face certain risks."

"And the mobile phone is obviously the confidence for Luo Ping to go to the rooftop meeting alone, and you are his confidence."

"I……"

It seemed that Gu Chen had seen through everything, and Zhuang Xiaomei, who was sitting on the interrogation chair at the moment, seemed to become more and more emotional.

Seeing this, Gu Chen pursued and continued to ask: "Zhuang Xiaomei, you actually know everything. Do you know what Luo Ping is doing now?"

"But you chose to hide it, but you have to know that now that Luo Ping dies, you may be the next person to be threatened."

"The murderer will definitely not let any insider go, and Luo Ping cares so much about the contents of the phone. Obviously, he can't give the contents of the phone to the other party, but to you for safekeeping. He just wants to save himself a life."

Taking a deep breath, Gu Chen tried his best to adjust his breath, and then said: "But now that he is dead, his only way out is gone. If you still want to hide it, then even the gods will not be able to save you."

It was also because of Gu Chen's remarks that made her nervous. Zhuang Xiaomei, who was a little arrogant before, seemed to have lost her soul at this moment.

Especially what Gu Chen mentioned to himself just now, once Luo Ping dies, it might be his turn next.

The lethality of this sentence obviously has an effect on Zhuang Xiaomei.

Zhuang Xiaomei was frightened and said weakly: "Comrade police, I... I am also a victim, and I don't know what I am doing? I... I don't want to die."

"If you don't want to die, just tell me the truth." Master Xi didn't seem to have so much patience, so he waved his hands angrily and said:

"Now there are two paths in front of you. One is to explain the situation, strive for leniency, and win a way out for yourself."

"There is another one, the same fate as Luo Ping, who was brutally murdered by the murderer. This may be the result that everyone does not want to see."

"If you, Zhuang Xiaomei, are smart enough, I hope you choose to cooperate with our police and explain everything that needs to be explained."

"And, the longer the time drags on now, the more unfavorable it will be to you, do you understand?"

"Understood, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything." There seemed to be a trace of fear, Zhuang Xiaomei was afraid of death now.

After all, it is well known that Luo Ping was murdered on the rooftop tonight.

It can be seen that the murderer's cruelty has far exceeded his imagination.

And the few policemen in front of them seemed to know their details well.

It is obviously a stupid choice to still have a fluke mentality.

Trying to calm down, Zhuang Xiaomei also took a deep breath, patted her chest slowly, then raised her head, and said slowly:

"Half a year ago, Luo Ping told me that he was going to Yunnan Province to start a barbecue business. As soon as I heard it, I immediately rejected his proposal. I said to start a barbecue business, why did I have to go to Yunnan Province?"

"He said that in order to make more money, in order for us to live a good life, he has to go out and make a difference."

"Didn't he tell you exactly what he's going to do in Yunnan Province? The barbecue business is obviously just a perfunctory rhetoric." Gu Chen also reminded.

Zhuang Xiaomei nodded silently, and said involuntarily, "Of course I know this is just perfunctory, but Luo Ping didn't want to tell me, and I can probably guess that he might want to do something illegal."

"So I don't agree, but Luo Ping gave me a sum of money to stay here and keep in touch with him at any time."

"So you have been in touch for the past six months?" Master Xi asked.

"Yeah." Zhuang Xiaomei nodded silently, and also took the initiative to admit: "We have been in touch all the time."

"Mainly what are you talking about?" Wu Xiaofeng, who recorded it, asked.

"That is, he told me that he put the money into the card and asked me to take it out and hide it, because he told me that he didn't trust his partners very much."

"I felt very strange at the time, but every time I asked him why? He didn't say anything. He just asked me to hide the money as he wanted."

"He said if I want to spend it, that's okay, he'll make more money afterwards."

"He told me, give him half a year, he will surprise me."

"Oh, surprise?" Hearing what Zhuang Xiaomei said, Master Xi snorted coldly and asked again: "What is a surprise?"

"The surprise is that after half a year, Luo Ping will come back to me with a sum of money, but the premise is that I don't tell anyone about my contact with him."

"Because of that contact information, only he and I know."

"Then what happened later?" After listening to Zhuang Xiaomei's introduction, Gu Chen suddenly felt that this Luo Ping in Yunnan Province seemed to be doing some big things.

And these things seem to be out of the question at all.

Thinking of briquettes, and Wang Xiangu's gang, Gu Chen knew in his heart that it might have something to do with these illegal businesses.

So he asked Zhuang Xiaomei again: "Zhuang Xiaomei, did you know that Luo Ping returned to Jiangnan City?"

"I know, he told me, but let me not go to him for the time being." Zhuang Xiaomei said.

"Then what happened to him borrowing money everywhere? Didn't he make money?" Gu Chen had doubts about Luo Ping's crazy borrowing money from family members before.

After all, judging by the pace at which he was driving Uncle Luobo crazy, it was obvious that he was doing business outside and owed a large amount of debt.

But from Zhuang Xiaomei, what Gu Chen heard was that Luo Ping kept putting the money he earned into a certain account, and Zhuang Xiaomei took it away for collection.

It can be seen from this that in fact Luo Ping did not owe a huge debt, but it seemed like a blindfold.

But Zhuang Xiaomei confessed honestly: "Luo Ping made money in Yunnan Province, and he didn't lose money. The reason why he borrowed money from people everywhere is to deceive people."

"Although I don't know why Luo Ping did this? But I can see that he has his own plans and seems to be thinking about his own way out every day."

"Then it was Luo Ping's intention to let you walk away with his cell phone?" Master Xi frowned and asked her seriously.

Zhuang Xiaomei nodded fiercely: "Almost, because what did Luo Ping do in Yunnan Province? I don't know anything about it, but I always feel it's not a good thing."

"But I didn't dare to ask more, for fear that knowing too much would not do me any good."

"As long as Luo Ping gives me money to spend and earn more money, I really don't care about that."

"So, when Luo Ping contacted me and asked me to come to Fuxing Village, he took the initiative to have a conflict with him, and during the conflict, when he took his mobile phone, I felt a little baffled."

"I always feel, what is this Luo Ping thinking? Why did you ask me to do these things? This looks very weird."

"But you still did it, didn't you?" Gu Chen looked up and asked her.

Zhuang Xiaomei nodded helplessly: "Yes, after all, he is my boyfriend, so I can only help him."

"Although I don't know why he asked me to take the phone away, he told me that if the phone was on him, maybe he would die."

"If the phone was in someone else's possession, he might still have a chance of survival."

"But no matter what the situation is, I decided to help him, but...but..."

In the end, Zhuang Xiaomei also seemed to become entangled.

The whole person stuttered and couldn't finish speaking for a long time.

"But what?" Master Xi asked her in a low tone.

Zhuang Xiaomei burst into tears, and said involuntarily: "But I didn't expect that Luo Ping would be killed on the rooftop."

"He said yes, the phone is not with him, he may have hope of living, but why is it different from what he said?"

"The death of his Luo Ping made me terrified, but fortunately, at the long table banquet, I splashed fruit juice on Luo Ping and cursed fiercely."

"I feel like this may give me a sense of security. After all, everyone knows that I broke up with Luo Ping, and maybe the murderer will not think of me."

"Hehe, your thinking is too simple." Seeing that Zhuang Xiaomei was deceiving herself, Gu Chen also shook his head, and took the initiative to explain:

"Judging from this case, the murderer is obviously a master behind the scenes. The murderer has been using Luo Ping as a chess piece from the very beginning."

"Of course, there is more than one chess piece like Luo Ping, and these chess pieces are killing each other."

"In the final analysis, many people, including Luo Ping, are just consumables for this mastermind behind the scenes."

"But since the mastermind behind the scenes is so cunning, do you think the other party will not expect it? Would you not expect that Luo Ping's mobile phone will be on your body? Or are you too confident?"

"No, I really don't know." Faced with Gu Chen's repeated questions, Zhuang Xiaomei trembled, as if she had fallen into extreme fear.

...
