Chapter 108 Friends
Ji Shiqing's bag was quickly brought over from home. It seemed that she was also frightened by Pei Xinlu's incident and had not had time to deal with all her things.
Luo Xun and the others saw the letter she mentioned and the suicide note.
There were only a few words on the letter: There is a surprise in the unfinished building in the old city, Pei.
"The letter was printed, so there's no way to compare the handwriting."
Chi Xia held the envelope : "And this envelope probably only has Ji Shiqing's fingerprints."
Luo Xun was observing the suicide note. There were large bloodstains on the note, which should have been left when Pei Xinlu fell from the building.
"This suicide note..."
Luo Xun observed with a magnifying glass and said, "Although the handwriting is illegible, it is most likely written by Pei Xinlu himself. It is very likely that he was forced to write it when he was exhausted. Juan'er, take this over and ask the technical detective to confirm it. Also, ask Lao Ning to check whether the bloodstains are from Pei Xinlu."
"Okay!" Curly immediately took the things and went out.
"Then let me explain it to you."
Lin Wenjue stood in front of the case board with a pen in hand, sorting out and drawing: "The deceased Pei Xinlu and Zhou Wanrou were husband and wife, but he also had emotional entanglements with other women, especially a woman named Yu. According to Zhang Chao, this woman named Yu got Xinrou many projects for Pei Xinlu's sake, and Pei Xinlu's feelings for her were not as simple as Ji Shiqing's."
He wrote down two words: "Zhang Chao even used the word 'devil' and revealed his intention to divorce Zhou Wanrou."
Chi Xia added: "Ji Shiqing said that he would be willing to let Pei Xinlu die even if this woman asked him to. Although it is exaggerated, considering Pei Xi's death, perhaps this statement is not completely exaggerated."
"Yes." Lin Wenjue circled the word "Yu": "This woman is most likely the woman who was with Pei Xinlu on the day the child was killed. Zhou Wanrou's death may have been the work of her and Pei Xinlu."
Luo Xun stood up and walked to Lin Wenjue, pointing at the contents on the case board.
"Pei Xinlu brutally killed his wife and children for this woman. The murderer killed him to avenge Zhou Wanrou and her children. Therefore, the murderer who placed Zhou Wanrou's body on the mountain was the murderer who killed Pei Xinlu."
Chi Xia continued to add: "The murderer's purpose is to let the police investigate."
After she finished speaking, Cao Bin also spoke up: "Then when Mrs. Zheng told Team 2 that her daughter was missing, according to the current situation, it is very likely that Pei Xinlu and this woman surnamed Yu went to pick up the old lady?"
"It's very likely. It's now clear that the murderer wanted to avenge Zhou Wanrou and Pei Xi, so this person must be closely related to Zhou Wanrou."
Luo Xun looked at Chi Xia after he finished speaking: "Chi Xia, do you have any thoughts about Pei Xinlu, this mysterious lover?"
Chi Xia nodded, she stood up, took the marker from Lin Wenjue, and wrote a few words in the blank space.
"First, this woman is very conceited. She thinks she can completely control Pei Xinlu."
"Second, she is cruel. She defied the law and forced Pei Xinlu to kill her own child. So she must have a certain amount of capital to control Pei Xinlu. I personally tend to think that it is wealth."
"She must have had a smooth life since she was a child, and she was even spoiled. For her, making mistakes has no cost, or she doesn't even have the concept of doing wrong in her mind."
"Third, combined with the first two points, this woman must have a certain amount of financial strength and an outstanding appearance. She may have been , so she has a strong desire to control relationships. Everything they did to Zhou Wanrou was subconsciously retaliatory. I now suspect that the injuries on Zhou Wanrou were most likely caused by her."
Everyone was shocked by her words, but she said, "Moreover, I now suspect that the person who treated Zhou Wanrou's body and turned it into bones is the murderer of Pei Xinlu, and...if we don't find this woman surnamed Yu as soon as possible, she is likely to be killed, or...already killed."
Just as Chi Xia finished speaking, Juanmao came back and said, "Boss, Wu Shanshan is back."
Wu Shanshan, Zhou Wanrou’s good friend.
Everyone soon met Wu Shanshan in the reception room.
She looked very pale, and started crying when she saw Chi Xia and the others: " Wanrou...Wanrou is she really dead?"
"yes."
Chi Xia sat over and handed her a glass of water: "Ms. Wu, how is your relationship with Zhou Wanrou?"
Wu Shanshan covered her face and cried in pain. Hearing this, she choked up and said, "We have been in love for more than 20 years. We have known each other since childhood..."
"But Zhou Wanrou was murdered three months ago, and her child Pei Xi died half a year ago. Have you had no contact with Zhou Wanrou for such a long time?"
Chi Xia asked her.
“Yes…it’s like this…”
Wu Shanshan explained: "Since the middle of last year, the company has sent me abroad for business reasons. I can only come back in August this year. We have been in touch during this period. Really, if you don't believe me, look at my phone..."
Wu Shanshan took out her mobile phone and showed it to Chi Xia, who saw the chat interface between her and Zhou Wanrou.
At the beginning, the two chatted and video called each other frequently, but the situation changed half a year ago. Most of the time, Wu Shanshan called Zhou Wanrou, but Zhou Wanrou was not enthusiastic. Even if she answered the call, the chat time was very short.
Chi Xia showed the phone to Luo Xun and the others, and then asked Wu Shanshan: "I looked at your phone. Since half a year ago, the contact between you two has basically been one-sided. Why is that?"
"Because Xixi is gone."
Wu Shanshan was overwhelmed with grief, tears welling up in her eyes: "Ever since Xixi passed away, Wanrou has lost her energy and spirit. I came back once, stayed for a week and then went back. Later... Later she told me that she suspected there was something wrong with Xixi's death... and Pei Xinlu might have cheated on her..."
"Did Zhou Wanrou reveal any relevant clues to you? For example, how did the child disappear? Who was Pei Xinlu's cheating partner?"
Seeing that she was crying so hard, Chi Xia handed her a tissue.
Wu Shanshan wiped her tears, full of regret, unable to stop crying: "It's my fault, it's really my fault. I had some emotional problems at the time, and I was too busy with work. I just thought she was too sad and had wild thoughts. I just comforted her, but never believed her...
"Pei Xinlu looks honest and they seem to have a good relationship, and... he would never lay a hand on his own son no matter what..."
"Zhou Wanrou told you that it was Pei Xinlu who killed the child, right?" Chi Xia asked.
"She only said it a few times, and then she stopped talking and stopped contacting me... You saw it, she didn't answer the messages I sent her or the calls I made."
Chi Xia was silent for a few seconds. She thought that Zhou Wanrou must have realized that no one believed her, so she became silent. She wanted to avenge her child in her own way.
But he didn't expect to be killed too.
Luo Xun suddenly spoke up. He handed Wu Shanshan's phone over and pointed to a message from three months ago: "On February 25, Zhou Wanrou contacted you once. What did you say?"
Wu Shanshan stopped and looked at her phone, but seemed to have no impression.
She thought for a long time before she finally figured out something: "That day...that day she told me for no apparent reason...that I should go to the nursing home to visit my aunt when I'm free, and that my aunt loved the teddy bear Xixi gave her. I said at the time that it would take some time for me to come back, and that I would definitely visit them when I came back. She hung up on me, and she didn't answer when I called again..."
"Blame me, really blame me..."
Wu Shanshan cried and said, "She said Xixi was murdered. I agreed with her but didn't believe it in my heart. She said Pei Xinlu had an affair. I asked her to find a private detective, but I didn't really believe it in my heart. I..."
She couldn't continue speaking and lay down on the table crying in agony.
"Did she tell you whether she hired a private detective? Did she tell you who Pei Xinlu cheated with?" Chi Xia asked Wu Shanshan again.
Wu Shanshan shook her head blankly: "No... didn't tell me..."
"Then do you know if anyone would kill Pei Xinlu to avenge Zhou Wanrou?"
When Chi Xia asked Wu Shanshan this question, a strange emotion flashed through his mind, and he did not express his true thoughts.
"After I went to college, my old friends gradually dispersed, especially after I had a child. She also started her own business and was very busy. I had no idea who she was in touch with..."
Wu Shanshan shook her head: "I really don't know..."
Chi Xia stood up and looked at Luo Xun.
Luo Xun has already spoken: "Let's go to the sanatorium."
