Chapter 90: If a key is broken, the song will be incomplete
"Teacher Du, this is my brother. He brought me to class today ... You don't mind if he sits in on the class, right? He can also play the piano..."
Chen Xiao looked at Du Min nervously, but fortunately Du Min didn't focus his attention on her.
Du Min smiled and said, "Really? Why haven't I heard you say that before? Come in quickly... Why didn't Fang Chengcheng come with you..."
At this time, Du Min's phone rang. It was Fang Chengcheng calling, asking for leave.
Su He walked into the house with a smile. There were two pianos placed in a small living room. The room was very tidy, the curtains were drawn, the sun was shining brightly, and the flowers on the dining table gave off a faint fragrance.
Su He sat on the sofa and Du Min poured her a glass of water.
"Chen Xiao, play the song we played last week first..."
Du Min took some fruits from the refrigerator and went to the kitchen. Seeing this, Chen Xiao pointed to another piano and started playing.
"Wrong, try again!"
As Chen Xiao started, Du Min's voice came from the kitchen.
Su He stood up and walked to another piano, gently stroked the keys, and sat down.
“Dangdangdang…”
This was Su He’s first time playing the piano. On the wall, there was a yellowed music score with only half of it written on it.
Du Min stood at the kitchen door, looking at Su He in surprise as he was playing the half of the song on the wall. Su He played more and more smoothly, and when the music ended, he did not stop.
The melody of one part chases the other part until the last bar, the last chord, when they merge together.
The sunlight sprinkled on Su He's face. Chen Xiao watched from the side in fascination. The repetitive notes sounded like gentle whispers in her ears.
Before I knew it, the melody had risen an octave and then cleverly returned.
Finally, the piano music stopped abruptly. Su He shook his head regretfully and sighed, "This extremely touching music is like two souls blending together... Teacher Du, what is it that makes you unable to let go?"
Du Min's expression changed instantly, and he stared at Su He and asked, "What do you mean?"
Su He stood up, pressed a black key and said, "If one key is broken, the song will be incomplete. Teacher Du, do you think what I said makes sense?"
At this time, someone knocked on the door and Chen Xiao ran to open it.
"Hello, Ms. Du, we are from the Criminal Investigation Detachment. We are searching your residence in accordance with the law. Here are the documents, and we hope you will cooperate..." Officer Rong stood at the door in a heroic manner, and then several policemen walked in.
The fruit plate in Du Min's hand fell to the ground, and the fruits rolled everywhere. She grabbed the corner of her clothes and said nervously: "Officer, be careful, don't break anything..."
Rong Xue walked up to Su He and said with a glare, "Who told you to act on your own?"
Su He smiled and pulled Chen Xiao out.
Outside the door , Su He touched Chen Xiao's head and said, "Go back!"
Chen Xiao looked up at Su He and said with a smile: "I completed the task, no reward?"
Su He took out two yuan from his pocket and put it in her hand, saying: "Go, buy a popsicle from the supermarket downstairs, and be careful on the road..."
"snort!"
Not long after, as the piano was opened, Rong Xue was stunned.
A dried-up baby corpse!
"No!... I beg you... give my daughter back to me..."
Du Min was taken into the police car.
Back at the Public Security Bureau, Du Min refused to answer any questions and just kept repeating: Give my daughter back to me.
Rong Xue handed Su He a stack of documents and said, "Five years ago, Li Di abused Du Min, who was eight months pregnant, causing the baby to be born prematurely and eventually die... The obstetrician and gynecologist violated the rules and did not follow the hospital procedures. The body should have been handed over to the funeral home for cremation, but it was sold privately to Du Min..."
"At the crime scene, the murderer was wearing Li Di's shoes. Li Di's shoes were size 43, and Du Min's feet were size 37. The footprint identification results showed that the murderer's feet should be around size 42..."
Feet of different sizes, wearing size 43 shoes, will leave different . In the wasteland, the depth of the footprints can be used to roughly restore information such as height and weight through economic investigation technology.
Li Di abused Du Min, resulting in the death of the baby in Du Min's belly. Du Min held a grudge against him and had a motive for murder.
But having a motive for murder alone is not enough. There is no evidence to identify Du Min yet.
Size 42 and 43 are common sizes for men's shoes, and it is impossible to identify the suspect based on the size.
Du Min remained silent and refused to cooperate with the police's questioning.
Not long after, Du Min's boyfriend was summoned by the police.
He Zhengchu, male, 34 years old, is the attending physician of a pet hospital. He is a college classmate of Du Min. After Li Di and Du Min divorced, the two lived together but have not yet obtained a marriage certificate.
In the interrogation room, Officer Zhao asked, "He Zhengchu, did you know that there was something hidden in Du Min's piano?"
He Zhengchu shook his head and replied, "I don't know."
"How did you get that injury on the back of your hand?"
He Zhengchu smiled, raised his hand and said, "Last night, a customer's dog was delivered to us, but we couldn't save it... In the end, the customer made a fuss and a fight broke out... The police station has a record of the police dispatch, and I also paid two thousand yuan in compensation..."
After some questioning, Officer Zhao walked out of the interrogation room.
He stared at Su He and asked, "Why are you still here?"
"Officer Zhao, I...I will never tolerate evil!"
"Okay, if Du Min's clue can eventually lead to the identification of the murderer, then the 100,000 yuan reward for clue collection will be yours. Go back first!"
"Okay, Officer Zhao, go ahead and do your work. I won't disturb you..."
As soon as Su He left the Public Security Bureau, Officer Zhao brought several policemen to the pet hospital where He Zhengchu was.
"Hello, officer. This is the dispute that happened last night... But we have already handled it, and the parties involved have accepted our apology and compensation..." The hospital director retrieved the video footage from that time and handed over the settlement agreement between the two parties.
In the surveillance video, a man ran into the hospital holding a puppy. He Zhengchu soon began to treat the puppy. However, there was no surveillance in the treatment room. 27 minutes later, He Zhengchu came out and told the dog owner that the dog was dead.
The dog owner couldn't accept it for a while and started making a scene in the hospital. He Zhengchu stepped forward to persuade him, and after a few words, the two started fighting.
The front desk then called the police. After the police arrived and some mediation, both parties apologized and the hospital compensated the dog owner three thousand yuan.
Two thousand yuan of it was paid as compensation by He Zhengchu.
It looked like this was just an ordinary dispute over medical treatment. When Officer Zhao was playing the video for the second time, he suddenly said, "Stop! Go back five seconds... and then two seconds... That's it!"
In the video, He Zhengchu took off his gloves before fighting with the dog owner, and it can be vaguely seen that there are bloody marks on the back of his hands.
"Take the surveillance video back..."
Officer Zhao looked back at the person in charge of the hospital and asked, "Was there anything wrong with He Zhengchu last night?"
"Nothing... Oh, by the way, normally, the attending physician would not show up in such a situation. Doctor He was indeed a little abnormal, and he even had a fight with the customer..."
