"It seems that Ruan Yu is not ready to commit suicide, otherwise she would not want to know what the world after death is like." Han Yun sighed and said thoughtfully: "But the forensic doctor said that her illness has already developed physical conditions. Soon the symptoms will increase, her body will become weaker and weaker, and her organs will fail. She should know that this day will come sooner or later, so she should end her life before that. Are her family members and parents still alive?"
"According to the files, Du is still alive, but her parents are not in Beidu, nor are they from Beidu City. Ruan Yu should have changed her file to Beidu City when she was in school, and then she has stayed here ever since." Yu Miaomiao said: "I have asked someone to contact her parents, and there should be news soon."
"Let's go to Haoye to find out more about the situation." Han Yun turned off the computer in front of him and stood up.
The two left Hongbo Garden and returned to the car. Yu Miaomiao drove to Haoye. KTVs usually open in the afternoon. Now the door is closed. Yu Miaomiao walked up and knocked on the shutter door. Soon the door opened. A young man with a tired face and sleepy eyes opened the door and stuck his head out to ask: "What do you do?"
"I'm from the Beidu Police Department. I want to inquire about Ruan Yu, the liquor salesman who works here." Yu Miaomiao showed her ID and asked, "Who is familiar with this person?"
"The liquor salesman is under Sister Ma's supervision, but she doesn't live here." The young man rubbed his eyes and answered.
"Can you give her a call and ask her to come over?" Yu Miaomiao paused, then continued, "Or you can tell us her address and we can go find her."
"Then wait a moment, I'll call Sister Ma." The young man said, closed the door and went into the house. Han Yun and Yu Miaomiao waited in front of the door for about five or six minutes. The young man came out again with an address in his hand. He handed it to Yu Miaomiao and said, "I have contacted Sister Ma. This is the address. You can go find her."
"What's her full name?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
"Ma Xuelian." The young man answered.
After leaving Haoye, Yu Miaomiao drove to Ma Xuelian's home according to the address. Her home was a high-rise building. After entering and taking the elevator upstairs, as soon as they walked out of the elevator, they found that Ma Xuelian's door was open. The two of them came to the door, and before they could knock on the door, Ma Xuelian came up and said, "Are you from the Beidu Police Station? Come in, come in..."
The two entered the room and sat down on the sofa. Ma Xuelian first poured them some warm water, then washed some fruit and placed it on the coffee table. Then she said, "Are you here to ask about Ruan Yu? What happened to her?"
Ma Xuelian probably doesn't know what happened to Ruan Yu. Han Yun looked at Ma Xuelian in front of him. She should be in her forties, but she looked young. When he entered the house just now, Han Yun also found a lot of children's toys in the corner, as well as photos of Ma Xuelian, her husband and children. Yu Miaomiao said: "This morning, the police found Ruan Yu's body on the basement floor of Hengke Shopping Center."
“This…how…how is this possible…” Ma Xuelian covered her mouth with one hand, extremely surprised.
"That's exactly why we came to you." Yu Miaomiao said, "So how much do you know about her? I hope you can tell us the truth."
Ma Xuelian didn't get over her surprise, and blinked dryly a few times. She picked up the water cup, drank a sip of water, took a few deep breaths, and then looked at Yu Miaomiao and said, "I have known Ruan Yu for a long time, probably five or six years. I was the one who hired her. I still remember the first time we met, she thought she was applying for an unorthodox job. But it's no wonder she thought so. In the past, the sales of alcohol in KTVs were indeed very chaotic. Although some girls now accompany customers privately, that's another matter. The overall environment has improved a lot now."
"Is Ruan Yu that type?" Han Yun asked thoughtfully.
"It's inevitable for a wine salesperson to drink with customers to increase the sales of wine. What's more, those who come to Hao Ye are either rich or noble, and they are very generous. They drink good wine, and the commission is not low. Ruan Yu can't drink, but she is open-minded, can have fun, and sings well. In other words, she can make customers happy, and those who are willing to support her will buy some wine. But as far as I know, that's all. She has no private contact with customers. Because of this, those customers who used to support her have gradually shifted their targets." Ma Xuelian picked up the water glass and took a sip, saying: "In recent years, she hasn't had any impressive performance, and basically can't get any commission. In fact, the boss has wanted to fire her many times, and I have saved her again and again. Because I know her life is difficult and she needs this job."
"When you recruit people, don't you need to do a physical examination before they join the company?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
"Of course I do. Otherwise, if I have any disease, it would be bad if I infect my clients." Ma Xuelian replied, "But we don't have a designated hospital. You can go anywhere for check-up. To be honest, it's not that strict. Why do you ask?"
Yu Miaomiao did not mention that Ruan Yu was ill, so she did not answer Ma Xuelian's question, but continued to ask: "If you put it this way, Ruan Yu still has a bottom line. Do you know about her private life with men and women?"
"I don't know much about this, but I know that someone is pursuing her because there are often boys coming to Haoye to pick her up after work. Some of the boys look really good. I have also talked to Ruan Yu. After all, she is not young anymore and should get married. And I can see that she likes children very much. But she always says that she doesn't deserve to have a marriage, a family, children, or happiness. Her entire outlook on life is relatively bleak. This is what I feel, but it's normal. I work in this industry and have come into contact with many girls who have just graduated. They all seem to be at a loss about the future." Ma Xuelian said, looking at Yu Miaomiao: "But Ruan Yu can't have such a big hatred with anyone, how could she..."
"Take a look at these photos. Are there any boys you've seen chasing after Ruan Yu in them?" Han Yun handed the phone to Ma Xuelian. There were more than 30 photos of boys in the phone that were taken from Ruan Yu's computer.
Ma Xuelian carefully looked through the photos one by one, from the beginning to the end, and then back, stopping at one of the photos, and handed it back to Han Yun and said, "I have seen this boy a few times. There was a period of time last year when he often came to pick up Ruan Yu. I also talked to him. He is a very shy boy and seems to work in finance. He is a good person, has a good job, and is very concerned about Ruan Yu. I don't know why she didn't choose him."
"Do you know his name? What company does he work for?" Yu Miaomiao asked.
"What's his name..." Ma Xuelian frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said, "It seems his surname is Li, and his name is Li Ran. He once gave me a business card about his specific job. I'll go look for it." After that, Ma Xuelian got up and walked towards the bedroom.
