"Do you detect any suspicious signs in that young man's words?"
"I didn't hear their conversation."
Xiao Yu'er frowned, sorted out the conversation between them, and wrote it simply.
The course of events can now be summarized as follows:
A few days ago in the afternoon, the young man Wang Bo bought the car. The people did not know anything about the birth of the whole day two days ago. The night before, when he had come to the inn, he was accompanied by a very young girl, whose appearance was evident at a glance - as the innkeeper had estimated - that she came from a wealthy family......
Yesterday, the lovers drove away from the inn as if they were going for a ride around the neighborhood. A few hours later, the car was struck into the river by a large car about 700 meters from the inn with all the lights out, and a fisherman on a fishing boat confidently heard the cries for help in the dark night.
Wang Bo and the young girl were nowhere to be found. Villagers searched the area from morning to night. But nothing! They went through all the villages, visited all the inns, and ran all the official roads, and not one of them said that they had seen two such young men.
On the contrary, in the trunk of the carriage was a very well-dressed and bewitching female corpse between the ages of forty or fifty. It was verified that this woman was murdered with an eyelid scraper a few days ago! In addition, the body was packed into the trunk just hours after the person died, and was rather clumsily stuffed inside.
The conclusion: when the lovers arrived at the inn, there was already the dead body in the car!
Did Wang Bo know in advance?
Does his young partner know?
At eight o'clock in the evening, their cars stopped by the river with all the lights off, what were they doing? Who was in the car? And who called for help in the car?
Bao Heizi is very well-behaved, he looks at this qiē and feels familiar, very familiar, his mind jumps from time to time, thinking is not his intention. It's instinct. It's innate.
The investigation work is now in a headache stage, and Xiao Yu'er's feelings at this time are very bad, and she is very angry, and she doesn't talk to anyone, and she mutters in her mouth. It's like a bear trapped in a cage, spinning in circles. Now he seems to be at a crossroads. So far, the collected material itself has many contradictions, and not only does it not make a leading thread out of this pile of material, but on the contrary, it is likely to be led astray by a wrong thread. In the end, nothing came of it.
Xiao Yu'er looked at Bao Heizi's expression and asked, "My lord, what's up?" ”
Bao Heizi looked into the distance, the people busy on the river, some of them were running back and forth on the muddy riverbank, and some were busy by the sluice. I was looking for the young man and woman.
"Woman."
"What?!" Xiao Yu'er asked, is it the dead one or the living one?
Bao Heizi glanced sideways, shook his head and said, "I don't know? Did I say anything just now? ”
Xiao Yu'er knows that Bao Heizi's brain is not bright now, well. Thinking about it, after knowing the identity, it is indeed easy to do things. So he asked the village chief to send more people to inquire around if he knew the identity of the deceased. And then there's the girl who ran away from home.
After a day of inquiry, I really found the home of a young girl who had disappeared from home. This man is also very well-known in the local area. belongs to that kind of gentry, surnamed Zheng.
"Did you find her?"
"I'm going to have to ask you some very specific questions, so I beg your pardon." Xiao Yu'er let out a sigh and said.
Zheng Haoshen made a small gesture. Meaning:
"Please! I understand this kind of thing......"
"Can you tell me first of all that made you think that your daughter might be involved in this incident?"
You'll get the idea right away. My daughter, Zheng Shuang, is seventeen years old, but she looks like she is twenty years old. I call her 'present'. It would be more appropriate to say that she was seventeen years old before she died,...... She was an emotional person, like her mother. Rightly or wrongly, since I was widowed, I've always done everything according to her temperament,...... I can't tell where she met this Wang Bo guy, maybe during the spring outing. ”
"Do you know Wang Bo personally?"
"I've only seen him once. Again, my daughter is an emotional person. One night, she suddenly announced to me, 'Daddy, I'm getting married.' Xiao Yu'er saw that Zheng Haoshen was very angry, and his forehead was full of green tendons, so it is no wonder, after all, in ancient times, marriage should pay attention to the words of the matchmaker of the parents, and for a single family like Zheng Haoshen, who is busy with his career and is used to raising his daughter, it is good not to be cheated by her. The pursuit of free love is not surprising and reasonable.
"Sir, what happened later?"
"At first, I thought it was a joke. Later, when I realized that this was something that had to be treated strictly. I asked my son-in-law to come to me. In this way, one afternoon. Wang Bo came. As soon as he came, I was very upset. I don't know if you understand me? Young people have absolute power and desire to make a career, but I don't like to be at the age of twenty to satisfy my own pursuit of luxury, especially a kind of luxury that is rather uninteresting......"
"In short, this meeting is still fresh in your memory, right?"
"Of course, this meeting was too uneventful. I asked the young man what he planned to use to support his wife. Unexpectedly, he replied, in a tone of jaw-dropping straightforwardness, that my daughter's dowry would be enough to save her from starvation until she waited for a glorious future. Think of him, a shameless little careerist. His speech was exactly the same as his demeanor, and I wondered for a moment whether his disregard for shame was a gesture, and whether it concealed some cowardice on his part. ”
"And then?"
"Half an hour later, I kicked him out of the gate."
"How long has this been now?" Xiao Yu'er asked.
"It's just been ten years. I immediately found my daughter, who wants her to declare to me that Wang Bo will not marry! She said I didn't know him, said I was wrong about him, etc. Oh my God, she threatened me with him, saying that if I didn't agree with their union, she would elope with him. Oh my God, the reputation of my old Zheng family has been ruined by him. ”
"Did you protest?"
"Alas! At first I thought it was just a verbal threat. I'm counting on the passage of time, and I'll be able to fix it well,...... But. She had been missing since the afternoon three days ago. …… That night, I went to Wang Bo's house. But they told me he was out and about,...... I inquired about the porter, and was sure that he was accompanied by a very young girl, that is, by my daughter...... That's why, at noon today, when I heard them talk about this incident that happened here at night......"
His attitude remained calm and decent. A few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead, though. Then he looked elsewhere and said word by word:
"I ask you for only one thing, little brother: be frank! If it was a direct blow, I would be quite strong; But I can't afford to be tormented by a long period of hopeful disappointment. In your opinion, is my daughter still alive? ”
Xiao Yu'er was silent for a long time and did not answer. Finally, he grunted, "Let me ask you one last question." You give me the impression that you know your daughter very well. Her love for Wang Bo seems to be complete and unreserved, romantic and fanatical. Do you think your daughter, once she knew that Wang Bo was a murderer, would she have become his accomplice out of love? Please don't be too anxious to answer this question. Imagine that your daughter comes to her mistress's house...... I beg your pardon for having to use this unfortunate word,...... When she learns that her mistress has had to go on the path of murder in order to escape with her and get the money necessary to escape. ”
Both men were silent. In the end, it was Zheng Haoshen who sighed and said:
"I don't know,...... But I can tell you something, little brother, that no one knows...... I told you just that I am a widower...... My wife is dead, it's true! She died three years ago. My daughter is very much like her mother......"
When he heard Xiao Yu'er let out a sigh of relief and said, "I wish she was such a person", he trembled.
"How?"
"Because, if Wang Bo has no scruples about his female companion, he has no reason to kill her. Conversely, for example, the corpse of the woman is found in the trunk. And your daughter was indignant, and even said something threatening to him......" "But I have heard that both the coachman and the fisherman heard the cries for help, and when the two cars collided, the car was not empty; And there was no reason for the boy and my daughter to be separated,...... So whether it ...... today"
"Since this morning, people have been searching. But until now nothing has been found. Could you please accompany me to the room where the young couple are staying? ”
It's a common room, with printed paper on the walls and a wardrobe made of mahogany. There are several things on the dresser: a razor, a comb.
"Did you see that?" Xiao Yeru pointed out, "This person carried his self-defense equipment. But they had to stop halfway to buy the young girl a comb and this pair of slippers at the foot of the bed. I'd love to find a piece of evidence that this is your daughter. ”
"Found it!" The father said sadly, pointing to a glimmering ornament on the carpet. "My daughter always wears her mother's pair of earrings. One of them didn't work very well, she often lost it, but every time she miraculously found it. This is the one! Do you still think it's still possible for me to find my daughter alive? ”
Xiao Yuer guessed that in the current situation, Miss Zheng was likely to have become an accomplice to the murder. But he didn't dare to say it. (To be continued......)
