Chapter 59: Suicide Note (Part 2)
The detective in this case was very responsible. After receiving the suicide note, he also visited Wen Xi's neighbors, classmates, colleagues and other acquaintances. The information collected from various aspects was compared with the content of the suicide note, and the situation was roughly the same. Even Wen Xi's parents could not make up the suicide note information. Neighbors and colleagues said that Wen Xi was in a very low mood recently. The manager of the hamburger shop found her crying alone at the back door many times, saying that she wanted to start a new life, but the new life was too difficult. Working 24 hours in the hamburger shop was not as good as lying on the rich man's bed for 5 minutes. The manager also blamed himself. The day before Wen Xi died, she notified Wen Xi that she was fired. The manager believed that Wen Xi's death was related to being fired.
Liang Xi looked at Bobby and asked, "Do you feel good about kicking the door now?"
Bobby smiled bitterly and said, "I'll go talk to Wendy."
Liang Xi asked: "What?"
Bobby said, "She said her cousin really committed suicide. She can only tell her the truth."
Liang Xi said: "But I can't be sure whether it was suicide or homicide."
Hold it in, be polite, and don't curse. Bobby asked, "Any questions?"
Liang Xi said: "Most of the problems are fine. The only problem is that there are some discrepancies between the suicide note and the boyfriend's statement. The suicide note did not mention the ex-boyfriend, and in the ex-boyfriend's testimony, he refused to get back together, which became the last straw that broke the camel's back."
Bobby said: "She wanted to commit suicide, but when she received a call from her ex-boyfriend, she thought she saw hope."
Liang Xi said, "No. The best explanation is that she decided to commit suicide and then received a call from her ex-boyfriend. She wanted to die in front of him. What the hell is reconciliation? There seems to be no problem in the details, but it feels a bit weird overall. If her ex-boyfriend asked for reconciliation and Wen Xi refused and committed suicide, it would make sense."
Bobby asked, "Was it murder or accident?"
Liang Xi looked at the suicide note and shook his head, "It's impossible to be sure. From the evidence, as long as there is this suicide note and the ex-boyfriend insists on his confession, he will definitely not be guilty. In this case, either Wen Xi committed suicide or the ex-boyfriend lied. Lying is a subjective confession. I may be able to know that he lied, but I have no way to tell where he lied. The ex-boyfriend brought a lawyer to meet the police. Given the lawyer's professional level, I think it is unlikely that the ex-boyfriend can confirm the nature of the case."
Bobby said: "Although I really don't want to cooperate with you, I still want to ask, what should we do?" If I don't ask, Liang Xi doesn't have to say anything. Liang Xi won't be suffocated to death, I will.
Liang Xi asked: "What is the family background of your ex-boyfriend?"
Bobby took the pager and pressed the blue button: "What is the family situation of Wen Xi's ex-boyfriend?"
The bodyguard Willy replied: "His mother is a successful businesswoman. Compared with you, sir, she should be considered poor."
Liang Xi asked curiously: "Compared to me?"
Willy chuckled: "Mr. Liang, stop joking. A rough estimate is that Wen Xi's ex-boyfriend's mother has tens of millions of assets, not including stocks and bonds. He is her only child."
Liang Xi asked dissatisfiedly: "What do you mean by stop joking?"
Willy said: "Mr. Liang, my weekly salary is 5,000 pounds. Compared with Wen Xi's ex-boyfriend, I am extremely poor."
Liang Xi laughed: "You are so tactful. Give him a raise."
"It's none of your business." After saying that, Bobby immediately confessed: "I am guilty, and I will change." Ten days of hard work, only to fail in one day, fuck you.
Liang Xi: "Is it possible? If you don't scold others, you will only be scolded."
Bobby immediately changed his words: "God, before you kill him, I must reserve the right to fight back."
"Tsk!" Liang Xi got back to the point and said into the communicator, "Willie, you misunderstood me. I meant to ask, based on your judgment, given my ex-boyfriend's wealth and his position in the family, is it possible for them to mess around?"
Willy thought for a while: "What is the scope of the nonsense?"
Liang Xi said: "In this case, the suicide note is the most direct and decisive evidence. Is it possible that they forged the suicide note?"
Willy replied: "I don't think they have the ability to forge a suicide note, but it is not ruled out that they hired professionals to forge a suicide note, such as a handwriting expert from a third-party identification agency."
Bobby was dissatisfied: "Hey, hey, we are solving a case. My bodyguard is only responsible for running errands, not for solving cases or providing reference opinions on cases. Otherwise I will have to charge you." He turned off the communicator.
Liang Xi remembered: "This case is simple and clear. There is only one key piece of evidence, the suicide note. One thousand pounds. Pay the money."
Bobby: "One hundred."
Liang Xi: "Get lost."
Bobby: "You will still check even if I don't pay you, because you are already suspicious."
Liang Xi sneered: "Get out, right now."
Bobby shouted, "Wendy, come here, I'm going to tell you a story about a bad detective."
Liang Xi said helplessly, "Eight hundred." He was not entirely afraid of Wendy, but also because Bobby hit the nail on the head, which aroused his curiosity. The most important thing was that there was only one piece of evidence, and the direction of the investigation was very clear, so he didn't need to spend too many brain cells. He could also take a hundred, but if he offered a hundred this time, would Bobby, the fool, dare to offer ten next time?
Bobby insisted, "One hundred pounds. I will pay for the travel expenses, including the food expenses during the investigation. Each meal should not be less than five hundred pounds."
Liang Xi vomited blood: "You would rather give me food than pay me?"
Bobby spread his hands, "I can't help it. You have to stay poor so that I can hire you cheaply. Food is not a problem. If you need the mansion I mentioned last time, you can move in tomorrow. I will pay for the staff to take care of the mansion."
Liang Xi raised his middle finger and said, "I'm not doing this for the sake of saving face. I'd rather die than do it for 200 less."
Bobby did not give in: "Liang Xi, I am the descendant of a businessman, and you are the adopted son of a detective. I am not as good as you in solving the case, but when it comes to reward... one hundred pounds, do it if you want to, forget it if you don't want to, you can deal with Wendy yourself. Don't blame me for not reminding you, don't you know how much you paid in compensation last time you took 20 pounds from Wendy?" You know you have to help Wendy even though you have to pay the compensation, and you are still discussing one hundred pounds with me?
If it wasn't for the fact that he had been waiting for the girl for ten days, Liang Xi would have kicked the damn capitalist in the face. Suddenly, he realized that what Bobby said made sense. If he became rich, for example, with a net worth of tens of thousands of pounds, and Bobby wanted to invite him, he would have to pay hundreds of thousands of pounds. Because Bobby would not compromise, he would rely on money to maintain his face.
Liang Xi said: "Okay. One hundred is one hundred. I need all the handwritings of Wen Xi that you can provide. I want to find a few words."
Liang Xi's frank attitude startled Bobby. He felt as if he had punched cotton and didn't feel any force at all. Did Liang Xi hate him in his heart? Bobby explained his attitude and said, "Hey, if you need money urgently..."
Liang Xi: "Go away, go get the ingredients, and order dinner. The hamburgers at the restaurant downstairs will be fine. I don't eat anything else."
Bobby was angry. Although he thought it was normal for Liang Xi to treat him like this, he was still very angry.
Liang Xi said, "You can't do anything except running errands. Why are you staring at me? Go now."
Bobby gritted his teeth and took the communicator to the side to contact the bodyguard. Liang Xi boiled water to prepare tea and hamburgers. This is the price. If you really live in someone's mansion, do you dare to give him the middle finger? If Bobby calls, I have to run to him like a dog and wag my tail. People are equal. When you ask for something from others, you naturally lose equality. Don't ask for anything from others, even if they are kings or queens, you can ignore them.
Bobby's attitude towards Liang Xi is to give you food, clothes, shelter and entertainment, but he just won't let you get rich. Liang Xi felt that he had to talk to Bobby. Bobby's way was a way to control people, not a way to make friends. Liang Xi recognized Bobby as his friend. It's a pity that the gap between class and wealth is too big, and the nature of friends can easily change. Bobby will not lack friends who change, but he lacks a friend who can despise him and confront him. Haha, he is good at swordsmanship. No, birds of a feather flock together. Treating Bobby as a friend seems to lower one's own level.
