Chapter 56 Rose
"Are you all having a hard time?"
Chi Xia had already walked upstairs and looked down him: "Who are you referring to?"
Sun Xiangbo sighed: "Me, my daughter, my parents, and even her students... Officer, do you know what she said about my parents?"
"I had and lost a lot of money. At that time, this house was mortgaged. My father happened to be ill, and I couldn't come up with any money. I hoped that she could help me. Do you know what she said?"
Luo Xun followed his words: "What did you say?"
"She ran to my parents and told them not to burden me if they couldn't help me. If they had to make things difficult for me, they might as well just die. They'd had enough of life anyway."
Sun Xiangbo was getting angry as he spoke: "Do you think this is something a human being can say? Is this something a daughter-in-law can say?"
He didn't expect to get any answers from Luo Xun and the others, and smiled bitterly: "I don't know what made her so mean and so easy to hurt others. She vented her anger and was happy, but my parents still can't forget what they said, including me. I can't forget it even more."
Seeing that he was a little excited, Chi Xia said, "Let's go to your bedroom."
She didn't stop and walked to the door of the room at the end of the corridor first: "Mr. Sun, I'm sorry."
Sun Xiangbo waved his hands indifferently: "Just look at it."
"You should calm down." Luo Xun said to him, walked quickly over and followed Chi Xia in.
The bed in Sun Xiangbo's bedroom was still messy. It seemed that he was indeed sleeping when they came. There was only one pillow on the bed, and no trace of another person.
There was a small space in his bedroom where a desk and a cabinet were placed.
Sun Xiangbo stood at the door again and didn't come in.
"Do you often work here?" Chi Xia asked.
Sun Xiangbo said: "I am used to going to bed directly after work, and my study is downstairs, so I don't go there often.
Chi Xia nodded and looked at the stack of bags in the cabinet behind him: "This bag is very beautifully designed. Is it a welfare product of your company?"
Sun Xiangbo followed her movements and looked over: "Yes, these shopping bags are designed for our company's VIP customer group. These are samples."
These shopping bags have a dark blue background, with two white roses entwined with each other created using a hot stamping process, and below that is an artistic English word in white: Sally.
It’s simple and elegant, Chi Xia quite likes it.
"Sally is Sara's nickname. It comes from Hebrew and is named after the character Sarah in the Bible. It means princess. Many people use it as an English name."
Chi Xia turned around and asked Sun Xiangbo: "Is it because of your daughter?"
Sun Xiangbo smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes: "I guess...I guess so."
At this time Luo Xun also came over. From his eyes, Chi Xia knew that there were no clues in this room.
"Two officers..."
Sun Xiangbo took the initiative to bring up the topic for the first time: "I feel very uncomfortable now. If you have seen enough, can we..."
Luo Xun quickly answered him: "Of course, it's time for us to go too."
Sun Xiangbo breathed a sigh of relief and sent them downstairs. Chi Xia suddenly asked him, "Mr. Sun, before I leave, I still want to ask you, in your heart, what kind of person is your wife?"
"What kind of person is he?" Sun Xiangbo muttered, "He has a strong sense of self-esteem, is stubborn, and mean..."
He paused and said, "She is very good at using cold violence, not only against me, but also against my children, relatives, and even students and their parents. I remember one time, a student's parents came to her many times in order to improve their child's academic performance. Every time, she would say the same thing..."
"What?" Luo Xun asked.
"You as a parent can't help him, what can I do to help him? I have done everything I should do. Your child is not doing well, there is nothing I can do."
The three of them walked to the door of the villa, and Sun Xiangbo sent two of them out.
Chi Xia asked again: "Mr. Sun, do you still have feelings for Liang Ruqing?"
Sun Xiangbo was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly: "She is my wife and the mother of my child. No matter what, it is impossible for her to be emotionless."
Chi Xia shook his head: "No."
"What?" Sun Xiangbo asked.
"From the time we entered the house until now, you have only addressed Liang Ruqing twice, one is my wife, and the other is Teacher Liang."
Sun Xiangbo was puzzled: "Is there a problem with this?"
"What did you call her when you were in a good relationship?" Chi Xia asked.
"I...I've always called her that..."
Although he said this, Sun Xiangbo knew very well in his heart that during the years when their relationship was the most passionate, he never called her Teacher Liang.
Chi Xia saw the emotion in his eyes and said nothing, but just chuckled: "Captain Luo, let's go."
After walking for a while, Luo Xun asked Chi Xia: "How suspicious do you think Sun Xiangbo is?"
"On the surface, Sun Xiangbo had a strong motive to kill Liang Ruqing, but throughout the process he firmly believed that Liang Ruqing was murdered and not committed suicide, and hoped that the police would investigate as soon as possible. Including our conversation with him, the clues he provided us were actually not good for himself, but made me reduce my suspicion of him."
Chi Xia paused after speaking, and then said: "Unless..."
"Unless he is confident enough and tries to provoke the police?" Luo Xun said.
Chi Xia nodded and saw a mother and daughter walking towards her. The little girl was riding a bicycle. She pulled Luo Xun and glanced at the mother and daughter.
"Sara, be careful!" the woman said to her daughter lovingly and concernedly.
The little girl , who was only about four or five years old, answered her in a baby voice: "Mom, I can ride a bicycle very well!"
Until they passed by Luo Xun and Chi Xia, Chi Xia was still holding Luo Xun's arm, but her eyes were following the mother and daughter.
"What's wrong?"
Luo Xun glanced at his arm and was about to pull it out of her hand when Chi Xia pulled him forward again.
They caught up with the mother and daughter.
"The shopping bag in Sun Xiangbo's bedroom." Chi Xia whispered, "There are two intertwined white roses and the English name, Sally."
"The woman just now called the child Sara." Luo Xun's eyes darkened slightly: "I heard you say at the time that these two names have the same meaning."
"Yes." Chi Xia said, "The woman was wearing a brooch with the same pattern."
"Where is it?" Luo Xun frowned. He hadn't noticed this just now.
Chi Xia smiled, grabbed him and walked two steps faster, pointing under : "Here, the color is very similar to her clothes, it's normal that you didn't see it."
"What do you mean I don't see that's normal?" Captain Luo pulled his arm away unconvincedly: "Don't bother with me."
Chi Xia was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, and explained to him: "Captain Luo, there are some things that only girls can see. Do you see any difference between me and yesterday?"
Luo Xun looked her up and down, but couldn't find any difference from yesterday.
"She's going in." Luo Xun changed the subject.
Chi Xia smiled again, walked up quickly, and called out before the woman entered the door: "Sun Xiangbo."
The woman looked over suddenly.
Chi Xia has confirmed his guess.
She walked up to him and said, "You know Mr. Sun Xiangbo, right?"
The woman frowned. “What did you say?”
"I'm talking about your lover, Mr. Sun Xiangbo." Chi Xia said.
"I don't understand what you're saying."
The woman pushed open the door of the villa, intending to send the little girl in first. However, the little girl looked at her mother blankly and innocently, then at Chi Xia. She said in a baby voice, "Mom, she knows Dad's name!"
The woman suddenly looked flustered and scolded her daughter with a stern face: "Nonsense! Go in!"
The little girl was yelled at by her mother. She pouted and her eyes were filled with tears. She looked like she was about to cry. Luo Xun felt a little distressed when he saw her.
Just when Luo Xun was about to go up to comfort the child, the child suddenly cried out.
The woman quickly squatted down to coax the child, and had to divide her attention to deal with Chi Xia and the others: "I don't know any Sun Xiangbo, please leave quickly, or I will call the property management!"
Chi Xia and Luo Xun didn't move.
At this time, perhaps the crying of the child attracted the attention of the people inside, and an old man walked out quickly: "What's wrong? Why is my little girl crying? Who offended my little girl?"
The little girl rushed towards the person who came, feeling aggrieved.
Seeing the face of the person who came, Chi Xia and Luo Xun were slightly surprised.
They had just seen this old man.
In the living room of Liang Ruqing's house, in the photo of Sun Xiangbo and his parents, the person is Sun Xiangbo's mother.
