Chapter 14 Chapter Fourteen Gets Another Clue

In the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau, a young woman with a delicate appearance and a quiet face was sitting.The woman looked to be in her twenties, a lavender sweater lined her fair face, and her straight black hair was draped softly over her shoulders.It's just that her face was slightly pale, her eyes were red, and her eyelashes like small fans were dark, as if she had just cried.The woman looked sad, and it was not difficult to see from her slightly shaking shoulders that her emotions had not yet fully calmed down. Under Dong Peng's gesture, Cheng Che poured a glass of water.Dong Peng took it, pushed it in front of the woman across the table, and said in a calm tone: "Chen Ying, the deceased is your boyfriend Deng Feng, right?"

Chen Ying lowered her head, blinked her eyes, and two tears dripped onto the back of her hands on her knees.When he spoke again, his voice was choked with sobs, "Yes..." "Does he have any other family members?" "Deng Feng's parents passed away one after another a few years ago." "Then you are the only one who can prove his identity?" Seeing Chen Ying nodded, Dong Peng continued to ask, "Can you briefly tell us about Deng Feng's situation? What kind of person is he? Will there be anyone who hates him?" "Probably not. Deng Feng doesn't have a job. He usually stays at home and rarely interacts with people. How could he offend people?"

"Then what does he do for a living?" Dong Peng was about to ask again, but Cheng Che had already interjected.Dong Peng glanced at Cheng Che and swallowed the words that came to his lips. Chen Ying seemed to have calmed down a bit, and only then did she have the courage to raise her head to face Dong Peng and Cheng Che, "He mainly makes money at home by helping others with programming and developing games." Yet another isolated person related to the game.Cheng Che spread his hands to Dong Peng, and when they exchanged eyes, they both seemed to sense that there must be some kind of connection between them.

Dong Peng thought for a while, and then asked: "Then how much do you know about his client dealings?" "It can be said that I don't know anything." Chen Ying's eyes flickered, and there was a complicated and subtle look in his eyes, including sadness, dissatisfaction, and helplessness. "A few years ago, he would tell me many things. , but in the past few years, he has always locked himself in the house and didn't say a word for several days, even if I asked him, he couldn't answer a few words." "There is a man named Fang Ziqing, do you have any impression?"

Chen Ying thought for a while, but still gave a negative answer, "I don't know, or he knew him, but he didn't mention it to me." From Chen Ying's narration, Dong Peng caught a trace of suppressed complaints. He looked at Chen Ying deeply, and asked sharply: "Chen Ying, I would like to ask, how is your relationship with Deng Feng?" Chen Ying was taken aback, as if she didn't expect Dong Peng to ask such a question at all.Her expression darkened, she was speechless for a moment, picked up the water glass on the table, even if she only took a sip for a short time, it was enough to see her mood swings.

"I..." Chen Ying took a deep breath, raised her eyes to meet Dong Peng's inquiring gaze, paused for a few minutes before replying, "There is no point in hiding the matter now, in fact, although I haven't told him yet , but I am really thinking about breaking up with Deng Feng recently." Dong Peng didn't show the slightest surprise when he heard the words, as if he had expected it, "Can you tell me? The relationship is not going well?" "I don't know how to explain it. Deng Feng and I are high school classmates. We have known each other for many years, and we have been dating for five or six years. He was not like this before. He was a cheerful and enthusiastic person with many friends. Although he didn't have to go out I go to work, but I often get together with everyone." Chen Ying blinked, and a bitter smile flashed across her face, "But, he changed completely later, shutting himself in the room every day, let alone a friend, just me, It's rare to see him a few times, and he doesn't talk much, I really don't know what he's thinking..."

Having said that, Chen Ying covered her face in pain and choked up again. Cheng Che looked at Chen Ying with some sympathy. Even if he was about to break up, facing the death of his once close lover, the pain in his heart might not be healed.What Cheng Che didn't expect was that Dong Peng didn't give up asking questions. After a pause, he asked again: "Chen Ying, can you recall when Deng Feng's personality and behavior changed?" "Three years ago." Chen Ying looked directly at Dong Peng this time, and answered with absolute certainty, "Because of my relationship, I remember it very clearly."

"Three years...team leader..." Dong Peng waved his hand, interrupted Cheng Che, and fixed his eyes on Chen Ying, "Did something happen?" "This..." Chen Ying hesitated, "I don't know the details. At that time, he made an appointment with a few friends he met on the Internet to go to a remote place called 'Mist Village', saying it was to get close to nature. After staying for a few days, he also asked me to go with him, saying that he could bring his girlfriend, but I happened to have a job at the time, so I didn’t agree, but after that time, he became more and more strange.”

"Okay, I'll check with you one more time. You really don't know Fang Ziqing?" Chen Ying shook her head firmly. "Thank you for your cooperation. If possible, please stay here for a few days. After the investigation, Deng Feng's related items will be returned to you and brought back to you, no problem? Although your relationship has changed, after all You are now the only acquaintance of his that can be contacted." "Well, if there is anything I can do, just say it." When Chen Ying said this, tears welled up in her eyes again.It is not difficult to see that although she said that she wanted to break up with Deng Feng, the relationship for many years would not fade away so easily. In her heart, she was still full of unresolved grief because of Deng Feng's death.

After seeing off Chen Ying, Cheng Che sat down opposite Dong Peng uncertainly, "Team leader, how credible do you think Chen Ying's words are?" "I don't think it's necessary for her to lie." "Could it be that as the person Deng Feng is most familiar with, she has no suspicion? For example, she wants to break up, but Deng Feng disagrees, and in order to get rid of Deng Feng's entanglement, she has murderous intentions?" Dong Peng stroked his chin and said thoughtfully: "In this case, it has nothing to do with Liu Huihui's case. The murderer deliberately used the method mentioned in the book "Doll's Killing Intent" to make us realize that Deng Feng died of the murder. Suicide can naturally be linked with Liu Huihui's murder."

"The murderer may have imitated the crime, right? If he knew the inside story of Liu Huihui's death..." "Attention, your assumption is based on the premise that the murderer knows about Liu Huihui's case." Dong Peng interrupted Cheng Che, "When I contacted Chen Ying, I sent someone to check her recent whereabouts. She never left home. It is impossible for Chen Ying, who is so far away in S City, to have seen the scene of Liu Huihui's death, and the police have never disclosed the specific circumstances, so she naturally cannot find out through other means. The assumption that the book is used to disrupt the police's investigation line of sight is not valid." "Thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is indeed what you said, the team leader." Cheng Che scratched his head. "However, it is always good to dare to put forward various ideas. It is good to have ideas, and then keep trying to prove them, and finally find the truth. This is the spirit that a good policeman should have." Cheng Che grinned, "Compared to you, the team leader, I'm still far behind." "Stop talking about these useless words. When it's time to delegate tasks, I will not be soft at all." "Yes." Cheng Che stood up swiftly, with a serious and expectant face, "Leader, please instruct us on what we should do next." "It's not us, it's you and me." Dong Peng stretched out his hand, pointed at Cheng Che, and compared himself. Dong Peng's words were no strangers to Cheng Che's previous experience. He asked puzzledly, "Are you going to act separately from me again?" "That's right, I'm getting old, and the task of running errands in too far away is not suitable for me." "Team leader, what do you mean..." Cheng Che suddenly woke up, "Do you want me to go to the village Chen Ying mentioned to investigate?" "Sure enough." Dong Peng nodded in satisfaction, "Tomorrow morning, I will find Fang Ziqing and come to the Public Security Bureau for a sit-down. After you bring him, I will ask you questions and the rest of the matter, and then you will Let's go to the foggy village." "Okay, team leader." "Go back today and prepare first. By the way, have you heard of the foggy village?" Cheng Che touched his nose, "I haven't heard of it." "Then you'd better do your homework before you go, check the information, and then go there as a passenger, it's easier to inquire about the news, those relatively closed places are always a bit resistant to the police, and it's not easy to cooperate." "Understood, thank you for your guidance." Just as Cheng Che turned to go out, Dong Peng's voice came from behind him again, "You can also call your little girlfriend along, if the scenery there is really nice, it's fine as a date." "Team leader, I don't have a girlfriend..." Cheng Che turned around and was about to defend himself, but when he met Dong Peng with a meaningful smile on his face, he immediately reacted, "Team leader, Wu Ning and I are not That kind of relationship..." "Well, I'm not your parents. I don't care about your young people's affairs. Remember to do your affairs well." Cheng Che wanted to continue talking, but Dong Peng lowered his head and read the document intently, indicating the end of the conversation, so he had no choice but to walk out. Wu Ning stood in front of the bookcase, reached into the open glass door, and stroked with his fingers a row of books neatly stacked inside with the author's name written "Wu Xiao".Although those books have not been read for a long time, they are still clean and tidy, and one can tell that they are well protected on weekdays. Wu Ning's finger finally landed on the "Doll's Killing Intent".At dinner last night, when Cheng Che mentioned her father, she found that the original dissatisfaction with him had unexpectedly faded a lot, and she could no longer feel the irritability she used to feel whenever her father was mentioned. Her gaze then fell on the books in front of her. What kind of state of mind did she usually have when cleaning these books?Why can't she remember at this moment?Could it be that after being with a simple-minded person like Cheng Che for a long time, even she has become simple?Thinking of this, she was not disgusted. Cheng Che's childish face appeared in front of his eyes, Wu Ning smiled knowingly, closed the bookcase, walked back to the room, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed Cheng Che's number. "Hello? Which one?" Wu Ning sneered softly, "Didn't you check the caller ID before answering the phone?" "Xiao Ning?!" Cheng Che raised his voice a few times, showing undisguised surprise, as if he never expected Wu Ning to call him, and even stumbled, "You, you are so late What's up?" "I can't tell. Are you busy? If it delays your time, forget it." "No, no." Cheng Che shook his head again and again, completely forgetting that Wu Ning couldn't see his movements through the phone, "Just say it, I'm just packing up and saluting, nothing else." "Are you going away?" "Well, it's a small town called Wucun. I checked it on the Internet just now. It's not too far away, but it's relatively remote. The journey takes two days." Wu Ning pondered for a while, "Is it related to this case? Have you found the real culprit?" "This...we asked Deng Feng's girlfriend Chen Ying, and she provided clues. Three years ago, Deng Feng asked some friends he met on the Internet to go to Wucun Village. After returning, his temperament changed drastically, so , we speculated that maybe something happened at that time, and the team leader asked me to check it out." "Three years..." Wu Ning subconsciously repeated these two words, how could there be so many three-year coincidences?Under the same sky three years ago, how many things happened?She only thought for a moment, then immediately made a decision, "I'll go too." "Isn't that appropriate? You're leaving, what should you do with a smile?" "Please leave it to Brother Shang to take care of it first." Although Cheng Che doubted whether Shang Yunxuan's appearance would be able to take good care of the child, he didn't have the guts to raise it. He just continued to ask, "Then your job..." "I will arrange." "But I have to find a suspect tomorrow, then hand him over to the team leader, and set off directly." "I'll go with you. I'll just wait aside and won't cause you any trouble." "I……" "A big man, don't be such a mother-in-law. If you don't agree, I will go to Wucun by myself." Wu Ning's resolute tone showed that she was determined. Cheng Che opened his mouth, but he didn't utter the rebuttal in the end. He heard himself answering very spinelessly: "Okay, tomorrow morning, I will pick you up." After sending Wu Xiaoxiao to school early in the morning, Wu Ning waited for Cheng Che at the gate of the courtyard with a simple backpack.After deciding to go to Wu Village with Cheng Che, Wu Ning made several phone calls one after another to arrange the work and Wu Xiaoxiao's affairs for the next few days.As a stand-in actor, although work is important, it is not indispensable every day. When she comes back, it is enough to make up the scenes that have been pulled down. Just take care of Wu Xiaoxiao, but also entrust Shang Yunxuan.In the past, she went out to film with the crew, and when she had to, that's what she did.But Shang Yunxuan was troubled, and Wu Ning was always unable to calm down, so Shang Yunxuan came to eat every now and then before being welcomed. At least, Wu Ning felt that this could be a way of thanking him psychologically. Wu Ning was thinking about it when Cheng Che's car turned into the alley and stopped in front of her.Cheng Che rolled down the car window and greeted Wu Ning, "You really want to go? Xiao Ning, I'm not going on a trip." Wu Ning glared at him, "Do I look like I just want to play? Don't be a mother-in-law, just finish your business and leave quickly." Cheng Che showed a little helplessness, opened the car door, and was about to reach out to help Wu Ning with his luggage, but found nothing.Wu Ning swiftly tossed his backpack and threw it on the back seat of the car. He sat on the passenger seat with a kick, slammed the car door, looked ahead, and without waiting for Cheng Che's reaction, he said simply and clearly: "drive." Cheng Che started the car and drove to Fang Ziqing's house.Fang Ziqing works for a game software company, but the software development does not need to report to the company every day, and sometimes you can do things at home.Cheng Che went to Fang Ziqing's company and called Fang Ziqing's company, and learned that Fang Ziqing didn't go to work today, so he asked for Fang Ziqing's address, just like Dong Peng said, and asked him to go to the Public Security Bureau to sit down.Of course, the official line is to cooperate with the investigation. Fang Ziqing lived in an independent tower building, Cheng Che parked the car downstairs at Fang Ziqing's house, looked at Wu Ning, "you can wait in the car." "I don't know how long you'll be going, I'll go down and get some air." Wu Ning said, and got out of the car with Cheng Che.At this time, an old man with a vegetable basket was walking by. Cheng Che stepped forward, put on a harmless and cute smile, and asked politely: "Hello, old man, may I ask, is there a man named Fang Ziqing?" Don't you live here?" Although Cheng Che didn't show his police ID card, maybe his face was so harmless that the old man easily let go of his guard and looked at him kindly, "Ask Fang Ziqing? I really know him, He lives downstairs from my house..." The old man stopped suddenly in the middle of speaking, the focus of his eyes fell behind Cheng Che, and he pointed to the man who was walking over with a grocery bag from the supermarket not far away, "That's not it. Is it Fang Ziqing?" Cheng Che turned his head to look, and sure enough, that person's appearance was exactly the same as Fang Ziqing in the investigation photo.Fang Ziqing seemed to have also noticed Cheng Che's attention. He was slightly taken aback, and then his face showed panic. As soon as he let go, the shopping bag in his hand fell to the ground, and the sundries inside were scattered all over the floor.And Fang Ziqing didn't care too much, turned around and ran back in a hurry without looking back. "Stop!" Seeing this, Cheng Che yelled and ran after him. Fortunately, there were no obstacles in front of this building, only a wide road stretching into the distance. The two of them were running on the sidewalk, one behind the other. Cheng Che was staring straight ahead, while Fang Ziqing was still in his sight. among. Unexpectedly, after running about a hundred meters, Fang Ziqing in front suddenly took out the car key and pressed it on a car not far away.The car received the induction and unlocked in response. Fang Ziqing quickly got into the car and started the car.After Cheng Che followed the car, he only had time to touch the trunk, but even so, the car drove far away. Cheng Che patted his head in frustration, a sharp screeching sound of brakes rang in his ears, and a familiar car stopped beside him.Wu Ning poked his head out of the cab, and said two words in a deep voice, "Get in the car." It was only then that Cheng Che remembered that he hadn't had time to lock the car when he got out of the car just now.Without thinking too much, he opened the door on the passenger side and sat in. Wu Ning stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the car galloped forward like an arrow off the string, chasing Fang Ziqing's car.Because of this strong inertia, Cheng Che's back hit the back of the seat heavily, and only then did he wake up the memory of the last time Wu Ning was driving.He regretted it endlessly, but it was too late to stop it, so he could only hold the seat under him tightly with both hands and stare nervously ahead. "It's right there." Cheng Che motioned Wu Ning to look at Fang Ziqing's blue car. "Okay, sit still."
