Chapter 102 The Most Beautiful Woman in Criminal Investigation (6) (1/2)

"After Mingfang got off work, I stayed in the store to chat with my friends. I didn't get called up until all the customers in the hot pot restaurant above had left. After that, I stayed up all night. I returned to the store at about five o'clock the next day and cleaned it for a while. At that time, the first person to come to the store was Zhang Hua. When everyone arrived, I went back to the lounge behind to catch up on my sleep. "

The original house carefully recorded it and asked: "Then do you still remember where Zou Mingfang said he wanted to go?"

"She talked to other waiters in the store when she got off work. I listened and it seemed that she was planning to go to the department store opposite to buy clothes."

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation, please wait a moment."

Lin Shiheng and Shui Wei stood outside, watching the original room pull out the door.

"Captain Lin, what he did that day is completely consistent with what others said. We checked the surveillance of that street and found that Zou Mingfang did not go out from the building gate after get off work that day. In other words, she was probably He was controlled before he could even leave the building."

Feng Kaiming came out of the room at the other end of the corridor: "Zhang Hua's words were still the same as last time. He went back after get off work and was alone all the time. The surveillance showed that he did leave the building immediately after get off work, but he did not leave the building immediately after get off work. We entered the building at five o'clock in the morning the next day, which was different from the time Zeng Longhai said we would arrive at the store."

Lin Shiheng took the notebook he handed over, lowered his eyes to read through it, and asked: "Which one of them entered the building first?"

"Zhang Hua, he entered the building almost twenty minutes earlier than Zeng Longhai."

When the original owner heard this, he quickly added: "But according to Zeng Longhai, he is the only one who has the key to the store."

"The key can be matched, but everything is still uncertain."

Feng Kaiming touched his chin, "And the most important thing is, Zhang Hua lied. He obviously arrived at five o'clock, but he insisted on saying it was six o'clock. He was not in the store for the extra hour, so where would he go? "

"There are doubts, and people's lives are at stake and they lie."

Lin Shiheng also frowned slightly: "Where is Zhang Mei?"

"She was in the store the day before yesterday, and then invited the store employees to eat after closing. After that, everyone went out to sing together. When she came back, everyone came back together. After that, she stayed in the hot pot restaurant. The waiters in these hot pot restaurants can all prove it. "

Shui Wei frowned: "Is there no surveillance in the hot pot restaurant? And isn't there any surveillance in this building?"

"This building took too long to be built. It has only really flourished in the past few years. Moreover, because the owner who opened a store in it will install surveillance to prevent things from being lost, it has never been installed."

Feng Kaiming quickly replied: "The hot pot restaurant is in good condition, but the store was renovated some time ago and the surveillance camera was accidentally damaged, so we can't provide the surveillance certificate."

"ah……"

The original room lamented: "This is the most annoying thing. In modern society, we still have to rely on clues to investigate the case."

Because she had studied with him for a while, Shui Wei had a good relationship with him. Now seeing the plaintive look of "Master", she quickly comforted him: "Actually, it's not bad. At least we are not checking through the surveillance outside the building." Is Zhang Hua lying?"

"It's better for Awei to be nice to me, as she deserves to be our master and disciple."

Yuan Fang pretended to cry and stretched out his hand to pat Shui Wei on the shoulder, but before he reached his destination, his hand was blocked by a report.

The owner of the report, Lin Shiheng, moved his hand away with a cold face.

"If you cry, you will cry. You are not allowed to do anything."

Original house: "..."

Feng Kaiming: "..."

By the way, I almost forgot, Captain Lin seems to be with Shui Wei.

After Yuanfang was stiff, he still boldly asked: "Captain Lin, you and Awei?"

Lin Shiheng raised his chin slightly, as if he was talking about a serious topic, and his magnetic voice also carried a solemn message.

"I am her boyfriend and her future husband."

"So in the future, you'd better not have any physical contact with her."

As soon as he said this, he received two more shocked faces.

Including Shui Wei, her cheeks suddenly turned red.

Although she had thought about announcing her relationship in front of her colleagues, why did she feel so ashamed after hearing Captain Lin use such a calm tone and normal expression?

"Uh... um, congratulations, congratulations to both of you for being single."

In the end, Feng Kaiming, who always liked to make jokes, was the first to react. He quickly put on a smile on his face and began to congratulate him. He smiled mischievously at Lin Shiheng and said, "It's such a big thing. When the case is solved, why don't we all have a dinner together."

"We can also officially announce that the most handsome Captain Lin from our Seventh Precinct and the most beautiful Awei are together, and give them wedding candy or something."

The original room gave a weak reminder: "Vice team, wedding candies are only given out when you get married."

Feng Kaiming waved his hand and said smoothly: "It's okay, it's okay. From today on, you can give out wedding candies even if you're in a relationship."

Harabo: ...The deputy team was really stimulated.

****

No matter how much we envy and hate the fact that two singles are out of love, as police officers working overtime, we still have to continue to work overtime all day long.

There is no way, for this kind of human life case, the superiors have always required that the case be solved quickly, especially a department like the Seventh Precinct that specializes in solving such cases.

When Zhang Hua asked for the second time, Lin Shiheng and Shui Wei were watching.

The surveillance route outside the building regarding his appearance at the door at five o'clock in the morning was laid out in front of him.

After playing one side, Zhang Hua, who was originally calm, began to panic, and his hands began to stir together.

Feng Kaiming knocked on the table, "Tell me, why did you lie."

"This is my personal **, I can swear that Mingfang's death is really none of my business, can I not say it?"

Zhang Hua's name is very ordinary, but he is very handsome. According to the colleagues who asked him before, he has a standard celebrity face. When he looks at him with pleading and pity, it really makes people feel soft.

However, no matter how good-looking he is, he is not as good-looking as Lin Shiheng who is watching nearby. In addition, Feng Kaiming, a straight man, has no aesthetic taste for men, and his expression is still serious and without extramarital affairs.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, you are currently under serious suspicion. Whether you tell the truth or not directly affects whether we suspect you are a suspect."

Zhang Hua's expression instantly fell, and he looked around, and then raised his head with concern to look at Lin Shiheng and Shui Wei standing in front of him.

"Well... Actually, I did arrive at the building at five o'clock yesterday, but I didn't go to the restaurant, but went to the hot pot restaurant upstairs."

"When I went there, they hadn't come back yet. I had the key to the hot pot restaurant, so I went in and slept in the lounge for an hour."

Feng Kaiming was stunned: "Wait, you have the key to the hot pot restaurant, and you still go upstairs to sleep?"

The corners of his mouth twitched. Could it be what he thought?

However, it was what he thought.

Zhang Hua's good-looking face was full of frustration at the moment. His shoulders sank, his back was slightly bent, and he looked very tired.

"Yes, Sister Zhang Mei and I are from the same village, and it was she who introduced me to work at Longhai Restaurant."

"My father died early, and my mother has always been in poor health. My family is poor and needs someone to take care of her. I stopped going to school before I graduated from elementary school. I have no education, no skills, and my mother needs someone to take care of her all the time. I have been hanging around in the village before, occasionally going to the town to do odd jobs, and I come back to spend the money I make, and go to work again after I spend it."

"When I was seventeen, my mother died, and I hung around for a few more years. I was in a daze every day, sleeping when I was full, and eating again when I woke up. I didn't live like a human being. Three years passed like this. On the day Sister Zhang Mei came back to see her mother, her mother fell in the morning, and I helped her back. She was grateful to me and wanted to give me money, but I refused. She took me to Zhongyuan City and let me work in Brother Zeng's restaurant."

Feng Kaiming and Lin Shiheng, who have handled many cases and seen many complicated emotions, already had a hunch in their hearts.

Even Shui Wei, a novice, had vaguely guessed the following plot because she usually liked to watch soap operas at 8 o'clock after work.

Sure enough, Zhang Hua quickly revealed his secret.

"I am very grateful to Sister Zhang Mei. Her legs and feet are not in good condition. I usually don't rest during holidays, so I go upstairs to help her. Brother Zeng is a playboy and always has women outside. The richer he is, the more he ignores Sister Zhang Mei. I dare not offend Brother Zeng, so I can only find ways to comfort Sister Zhang Mei and make her not unhappy."

"After a while, we got along well."

At this point, he supported his forehead with both hands in pain, and his voice became a little hurried: "It was an accident. I don't want to let Brother Zeng down, but Sister Zhang Mei is also someone I am grateful to. She said that she found comfort in me and asked me to accompany her for a while. She would give me money and would not let others know. I, I agreed in a rush. "

Feng Kaiming showed an expression that he had expected, "Do you like her?"

"No, not really."

Zhang Hua shook his head quickly: "I admit that I have a good impression of Sister Zhang Mei, but not that kind of good impression. I just want to thank her and repay her, so after she asked me, I hesitated and agreed. After all, I really need money. "

"You are being supported by Zhang Mei? Why are you still with Zou Mingfang?"

"When I was with Mingfang, I had already broken up with Sister Zhang Mei. She said that her daughter had grown up and Brother Zeng had settled down. She decided to live a good life with Brother Zeng and told me not to be with him in the future. I'm going to come find her." Zhang Hua licked his lips nervously, "I was actually a little happy at the time. I took the money from Zhang Mei and planned to quit my job to learn a craft, but because the store was so popular and needed people, Brother Zeng asked me to stay for another month and said he would give me a big red envelope when I left." "During this month, Mingfang and I had an ambiguous relationship. In fact, I liked her a little bit before, but I didn't dare to show it because of Zhang Mei. Mingfang also liked me, so we got together naturally." Feng Kaiming led him to say: "But you still broke up with her, why? Because you want to leave Open here?"

"No."

The pain on Zhang Hua's face became more serious: "Because of Sister Zhang Mei."

"She came to me again and said that after I stopped looking for her, she found that she liked me. She offered me a higher price and asked me to continue to be supported by her, but I liked Mingfang, and I had money in my hands, so I rejected her."

"But Sister Zhang Mei took out the photos of us in bed. I don't know when she took them. If those photos were seen by Brother Zeng, he would definitely deal with me."

Feng Kaiming thought about the fake smile on the face of the kind fat boss, "And you agreed?"

"Yes."

Zhang Hua nodded: "After I promised Sister Zhang Mei, of course I couldn't continue to be with Mingfang, so I proposed to break up. But Mingfang was unwilling and insisted on chasing me to ask for the reason. I could only excuse it by saying that I didn't like her. , and then she had a fight with me, and we broke up completely.”

"Comrade police, I really didn't do anything to Mingfang. Even if we broke up, I still like her. How could I kill her?"

At this point, he became obviously excited. Feng Kaiming had to comfort him: "We are still investigating. Don't get excited. Cooperate with our investigation. If it is really not you, you can cooperate with the investigation and help us catch him." The real murderer is worthy of Zou Mingfang."

Lin Shiheng, who was standing behind Feng Kaiming, suddenly asked coldly: "You once repaired the headlight of a corpse, and there was a crack in the wood under the groove. Do you know?"

Zhang Hua was stunned and thought about it for almost a minute before replying: "I know, I did it accidentally. This lamp broke once before. Brother Zeng asked me to repair it. The ladder didn't stand firm and I fell down. I broke it with my hands before.”

"Who knows about this?"

"A lot of people, right? The waiters in the store were all there at the time, and Brother Zeng was also there, but the others seemed to be gone."

Shui Wei asked: "Is there really no one else? Think about it again?"

Zhang Hua thought hard for a while.

"Ah! Yes, Sister Zhang Mei also knows that my arm was bleeding at that time. She gave me the medicine when I went to see her at night. I told her about it."

"I don't know about anything else. Comrade, believe me. I can't kill Mingfang. It's just a breakup. Why should I kill her? There's no reason!"

Lin Shiheng and Shui Wei were the first to walk out of the interrogation room.

"Captain Lin, do you think he lied?"

"Judging from his appearance and body language and his attempts to conceal the correct time of police arrival at the building, he is a very cowardly and illiterate person. He loves money, but he does not love it so much that he loses his mind. In addition, the investigation results show that he is incompatible with Zou. Ming Fang does not have any deep hatred, I don’t think he is the murderer.”

Shui Wei nodded: "I don't think so either. Now it's up to Zeng Longhai and Zhang Mei. I don't know why, but I always feel that there is something wrong with Zhang Mei."

"Then let's go see her."

Lin Shiheng and Shui Wei sat in front of Zhang Mei.

As the previous information shows, Zhang Mei is a very beautiful woman. She is thirty-five years old this year. The age difference between her and her husband is relatively large. Because of her outstanding appearance, the gap is even greater.

Her mental quality was obviously much stronger than Zhang Hua's. When she saw two more people coming, she actually showed a friendly smile on her face.

Lin Shiheng ignored the smile, took the notebook handed over by his subordinate, opened it, read it, and asked quietly: "Zhang Mei, what do you think of Zou Mingfang?"

"Good-looking, smart enough, and very popular."

Zhang Mei smiled, and his evaluation was unexpectedly high.

"If she didn't have the courage to fight and break through, she would never be just a little waiter."

Lin Shiheng raised his eyebrows: "Do you think you have the courage?"

"certainly."

Zhang Mei's smile widened: "I came out to work when I was fifteen. At that time, I had no education or skills. I was too young to look for a job openly, and I would be targeted and deceived by interested people. My starting point was much lower than Zou Mingfang's."

"At that time, in order to make money to get rid of this kind of life, I carried bricks on construction sites, did small jobs, decorated rooms full of formaldehyde, and delivered food to people who were exhausted. As long as I could make money, I was willing to do any job."

Lin Shiheng's expression did not waver. He had no sympathy for her for working hard at a young age, nor did he admire her for being so capable. He just continued to ask: "How did you and your husband meet?"

Zhang Hua leaned back and his smile faded: "Blind date."

"When I was twenty-five years old, I owned my own chain of hot pot restaurants. At that time, I felt a little lonely, so I simply found a blind date agency and started dating. Finally, I fell in love with Zeng Longhai and got married."

"Do you know that Zeng Longhai has a woman outside?"

"Know."

Zhang Mei sneered: "After I got sick, he started to look for women frequently. I already knew that he was just pretending to be deaf and dumb for the sake of my daughter."

At this point, her tone became sarcastic: "Why are you questioning me, a person with limited mobility? I also know, isn't it that Zeng Longhai likes Zou Mingfang to death? As his wife, his little lover Of course I am also suspected of being dead."

Lin Shiheng's vision sharpened.

"Xiaoqing|person?"

"You mean that before Zou Mingfang died, she was already with Zeng Longhai?"

Zhang Mei paused, the expression on his face became more and more sarcastic, and his words were extremely sharp.

"How do I know about them? Zeng Longhai hardly comes to me when nothing happens. I won't go down to look for him because of my leg problem. Anyway, he is still worried about his daughter. I don't bother to care about him. He plays with him. I Just play with me.”

Lin Shiheng captured the last sentence: "Are you kidding?"

"That's right."

Zhang Mei shrugged and flicked his nails casually: "Since Zhang Hua has also been summoned by you, he probably can't hide what happened between us because of his soft temper, right?"

"I've checked. People like us who are called by your police to cooperate with the investigation have the right to privacy. You can't tell others our private information. In this case, it doesn't matter whether we tell or not."

"I really like Zhang Hua. I originally wanted to leave him and live a good life with Zeng Longhai, but I didn't expect that this guy won't change his ways, so I won't bother to save him. My daughter is still having trouble getting divorced, so he will play with him. I'm just playing with myself, as long as I don't make any noise."

"Comrade police, do you have anything else to ask? It's time for me to take medicine. It's probably raining outside. My legs are hurting again. I need to take medicine to suppress it."

As he spoke, he opened his eyebrows and bent down slightly, frowning and with a look of displeasure mixed with pain, he stretched out his hands and rubbed his legs up and down.

Shui Wei listened quietly, still maintaining her original sitting posture, but her eyes were focused on her fingers that were rubbing her legs.

"Ms. Zhang, the manicure on your right middle finger is broken?"

Zhang Mei rubbed his legs with his fingers for a moment, and then continued to move as if nothing had happened. His tone was also very nonchalant: "I don't know when it broke. Although I am the boss, I still have to work. It's not weird to have my nails broken."

"Do you know when the nail was broken? Today, or yesterday?"

He rubbed his calf with his raised eyebrows, his eyes lowered and his expression unclear: "I don't know either. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have noticed."

"Can I leave now? The pain in my legs is really unbearable."

Lin Shiheng responded calmly: "Thank you for your cooperation."

"Take her out."

Zhang Mei limped out of the door and was supported by the female police officer. Shui Wei stared at her legs closely. She was indeed very weak, not like she was pretending.

It wasn't until the door closed that she turned to look at Lin Shiheng.

"Captain Lin, how are you?"

"She has a strong personality and seems very confident."

Lin Shiheng said: "But she has been trying to express the signal that she doesn't care about Zeng Longhai, and even did not hesitate to bring up the adopted Zhang Hua to strengthen this signal. But a woman with a strong personality, since she does not like her husband, this husband does not If she fulfills her husband’s duties, why doesn’t she get a divorce?”

Shui Wei nodded: "Yes, if it's just for the child, as she said, what we found is that the child follows the mother most of the time, and since she can do things like supporting Zhang Hua, it shouldn't be that traditional. She believes that children must have parents, and she owns a hot pot restaurant, and she has worked hard all the way, and it is not just for money. "

"She is a little too impatient. If the matter really has nothing to do with her as Zhang Mei said, her mood should not be so anxious, and she would not hide it with such a arrogant and confident posture."

The man's slender hand knocked on the table: "I think it's more likely to open his eyebrows."

"I feel so too."

Shui Wei analyzed seriously: "I noticed just now that her manicure nails were broken. Girls usually cherish them after getting manicures. Even if they are broken, some girls will cut them flat, while others will immediately find a manicurist to repair them. , and some are more wealthy and simply unplug the original one and start over.”

"Because after getting a manicure, your nails will grow much longer than normal. It would be too sudden to break one of them suddenly. If you stay at home alone, it would be fine for your family to see. I just observed Zhang Mei, and her hair must have been done not long ago. , the clothes on my body are from a very famous brand, the bag is also limited edition, and the leather shoes on my feet are from Intersection, just one pair is half my monthly salary.”

Shui Wei, who has been following the Intersection brand for a long time but is not willing to spend money on it, is sure, "Although Zhang Mei has her own hot pot restaurant, since she can spend so much money on her body, she must be a person who pays attention to her image. How could she not know how to nail nails?" When it was broken, even if I don’t know the specific time, I can’t tell the approximate number of days. Moreover, her nails were obviously cut flat just now, but she lied and said she just discovered it, so there must be something wrong.”

"good."

Lin Shiheng nodded and stood up.

"Speaking of which, we haven't thoroughly investigated Zhang Mei's hot pot restaurant yet."

"Since Zou Mingfan was in the building and didn't leave the building at all, then Zhang Mei, who also runs a store in the building, is also a serious suspect."

"Let's go to the hot pot restaurant."
