C86

The two of them went up the stairs one after the other.

This building was relatively new and had surveillance cameras.

The police had taken surveillance footage of the last week and found that at 11: 00 that night, the girl had left the house and never returned.

Today was the third day since she disappeared. She didn't come back until the evening.

The landlord didn't know Liu Xiang's name because he had rented the house under his name and Liu Xiang's girlfriend hadn't been with him for long.

Xiao He knocked on the door.

Jiang Han thought to himself that the last time he entered, he was brazenly showing off, but this time he became so courteous. Wasn't this a bit too hypocritical?

Xiao He felt a little embarrassed. He had been careless at that time and did not know that there were still people living inside.

Finally, someone opened the door.

The girl was wearing an apron, as if she was cooking.

Previously, when they were outside, when they were looking into the distance and the light wasn't too good, Jiang Han didn't feel anything from the girls' appearances. He only felt that they were worth their looks.

Xiao He and the others were standing outside the door and could smell the fragrance of food. It was already so late, why was he still cooking?

This woman's recent movements were quite strange.

The girl stood by the door with a strange expression on her face. She looked at Xiao He and Jiang Han with a confused expression.

"Hello." Xiao He took the initiative to extend his hand.

"You … "Hello." The girl shook it back, her actions somewhat stiff.

"You are?" Although she was confused, she did not seem afraid.

"We are from the Ling An Public Security Bureau." As he spoke, Jiang Han took out his identification card.

The girl nodded, "Then..." "Then please come in."

They sat on the sofa that they had checked the day before.

Since he didn't know the location of the first scene, Xiao Yan had no choice but to be careful. Even if there were some minute marks on it, he wouldn't let them go.

"The landlord told me that you came to search my house?" The girl asked as she poured water.

"Something like that." Jiang Han was planning on saying a few perfunctory words.

"Anyway, we don't know your name yet." Xiao He tried to change the topic.

"Don't know?" If you don't know, why would you dare to search? " The female student's voice sounded somewhat sharp and her tone carried a hint of ridicule. It made Xiao He and Jiang Han finally lower their heads like two primary school students who had done something wrong.

It looked like she had come prepared, and it was also possible that she was truly innocent and fearless.

The water was brought to the tea table.

"My name is Lin Ziyang, Yang Zijiang."

Xiao He said:

"Miss Lin, I am truly sorry about the matter last time. At that time, we only knew that this was Liu Xiang's residence. So, could you show your identity card?" Ever since the experience with Yang Xue, everyone had been much more careful during their interviews.

The girl looked at him and went back into the bedroom.

Then he came out and handed his ID over to Xiao He.

The name's right. Shaw nodded.

"What do you want to know?" The girl took back her ID, not hesitating in the slightest.

"You … Were you just cooking? " Xiao He turned to look at the kitchen.

"Yes."

"Eating so late?"

"Yeah, because I just got home a bit later today." Lin Zi said without raising her head.

But such an answer was almost the same as not answering at all.

"Is Liu Xiang your boyfriend?" Xiao He asked. Although the matter was already very obvious, he still wanted to confirm it.

"Yes." What's wrong? Are you here to investigate his death? "

"Yes, how do you know he's dead?" Xiao He was curious about this.

"I don't know, he just never came back. Everyone in the circle said something happened to him." Lin Ziyang's head was slightly lowered, as if there was some unspeakable pain.

"Why didn't you report him missing?"

"Because the things that he did, were not proper. So he kept telling me that if he went missing, don't go looking for him, and don't report him. "

Lin Ziyang seemed to be extremely wronged.

"But this time he was gone too long. I suspect that something has really happened to him. But in the event, I didn't report it. "

Xiao He had a pensive expression on his face as he listened to what she had to say.

He finally understood why she hadn't moved out. Maybe she had been waiting for him to come back.

"Then let me tell you now, he is indeed dead." He looked into her eyes, hoping to peer into her real reaction.

Lin Ziyang's eyes seemed to hide a little jumping rabbit, fiercely jumping a few times and then returning to a calm state.

Xiao He saw all of this.

Soon, her eyes were moist as she covered her face and cried uncontrollably.

His knees bent and he leaned against the side of the sofa.

When Jiang Han saw this scene, he could not help but sigh in regret.

However, Xiao He continued to sit by the side without showing any more sympathy.

Xiao He finally stopped crying and dared to ask her a formal question.

She wiped her eyes and moved a chair against the wall.

Although the tears in his eyes seemed to be unstoppable, and would come again in a few seconds, he had, on the whole, controlled his emotions.

"When did you and Liu Hun live together?"

"Last spring."

"Two years?"

"Yes."

"Does the outside world know about your cohabitation?"

"I don't know."

"So you've never set foot in his circle?"

"No, I've done it before. It's just that they all thought I was his sister."

Xiao He's confusion was finally dispelled.

"Did you know he was a usurer?"

"Got it."

"Since when did he start usurping money?"

"I don't know about that. It seems like he had already done this before we lived together."

"What is your profession?"

"I work in an internet cafe."

"Aren't you afraid that his matters will be brought to trial one day and you will be implicated?"

"What are you afraid of? I don't have my money in there, and I'm not involved in extortion. " The girl was still wiping away her tears, but her words were firm and forceful.

Xiao He looked at her in shock. Since she was so smart, why did she choose someone like Liu Xiang?

However, with the current situation and the combination of two grown men, it was hard to ask.

"In other words, have you always known what he did?"

"More or less." she said vaguely.

Xiao He felt that he was close enough. This girl should be Liu Xiang's girlfriend.

"He had a house somewhere else. You can take a look." Lin Ziyang retrieved the cup of water that he had finished drinking.

"What house?" Why didn't Shaw explain why Liu Xiang had another house?

"Because the house was rented to him by his mother." Lin Ziyang's mood had completely calmed down as he lightly said this.

"Then why don't you stay there?"

"Because that house is very small. It's not convenient for two people to live there …"

"Then why did his mother rent a house for him? Why didn't he stay at home?"

Xiao He pretended that he didn't know anything, that he hadn't investigated his family. Furthermore, he felt that there was a high chance that Lin Ziyang wouldn't know about this, and Liu Xiang wouldn't tell her. A family full of holes would often be the most shameful history of a person's life.

"He seems to be saying that his family relationship is rather stiff. Furthermore, the things that he did, no one would be willing to face their son like that. "
