Chapter 4 fourth quarter

The road was very congested, so Qin Siwei suggested eating first, and solemnly recommended a Hubei restaurant that was said to be very authentic.The location of the small shop is a bit remote, the decoration is surprisingly simple, but the business is booming.It was the lunch rush hour and we had to wait a long time for a table for two in the corner.Qin Siwei ordered hot and sour lotus root tip, dry-roasted Wuchang fish, and local chicken soup, which is said to be the signature dish here.After a while, steaming hot meals were served. "I urgently need hot soup to warm my stomach." I filled a large bowl of chicken soup with a thick chicken leg, "I just walked outside for a long time, it's cold."

"Who is it? You won't get lost." Qin Siwei said without raising his head, picking out the fishbone, "Run out alone to hide, and leave me behind to listen to those tearful eulogy." "They won't ask you to say a few words with your nose and tears?" I asked with a smile. "I already have goosebumps just listening to it." He rolled up his sleeves and put his arm under my nose, "If you don't believe me, look, I haven't gone down yet!" "Don't make trouble, eat well." I pushed his arm aside, "I think they invited you here just to find out about the progress of the case."

"I thought so too." Qin Siwei said, "But no one asked me from the beginning to the end." "Then what did they call you here for?" I was confused. "I don't know." Qin Siwei put the back of the fish on my plate, "But did you notice that Yang Jianmei doesn't like Chen Xuefang very much. I think it's because of Jin Yu." "Blind people can tell that she likes Jin Yu—unrequited love." "Also, have you noticed that she has always emphasized that Jin Yu committed suicide, but Li He, who also grew up with Jin Yu, thinks that Jin Yu will not commit suicide."

"You suspect Yang Jianmei? Since she loves Jin Yu so much, why did she kill him?" "Because Jin Yu doesn't love her. Isn't it normal to hate her because of love? She is so familiar with Jin Yu, she can easily get the nalatamine he prescribed from the hospital." "Chen Xuefang is determined to break up with Jin Yu. This is a good opportunity for Yang Jianmei. How could she commit murder when she already saw hope? Besides, she had time to be a witness when the crime happened." "The problem now is that everyone has time to witness." Qin Siwei gulped down the soup, "This case is too awkward."

"By the way, what exactly did Chen Xuefang want to call you?" I poured another bowl of soup, which was really good. "Don't tell me I almost forgot," he slapped his forehead suddenly, "I'll go directly to her house after dinner." The house Chen Xuefang rented was in a newly developed commercial housing complex in Fengtai District.The community is still expanding, and the surrounding roads are also under construction. Piles of sand and white ash like hills can be seen everywhere, and a faint smell of asphalt can be smelled in the air. "Building No. 6...Room 1201." Qin Siwei flipped through the records in his notebook, "Do you want to go up with me?"

"Forget it, you have to register when you come in and out, it's really troublesome." I checked the time, and it was already half past one, "I have to go back. I read a novel all night yesterday, and I need to catch up on sleep." "Okay then, I'll go back to the bureau later." Qin Siwei said helplessly, "Be careful driving by yourself, I'll go find you at night." When I got home, I was so sleepy that I couldn't open my eyes. I took a hasty shower and got into bed. I slept until 8 o'clock in the evening before getting up contentedly.It was windy outside again, and I didn't want to go out again, so I simply ate dinner and turned on the TV habitually to pass the time.The news is full of news about the financial crisis—several investment banks have failed to survive and declared bankruptcy, large manufacturing giants have laid off employees one after another or announced plans to lay off employees, and it is said that many cafes in Europe have closed down because there are no customers.Luckily, my coffee shop is doing pretty well right now.But looking at the bleak green ocean in the stock market, I still feel a little bit drummed in my heart.What should I do if the business fails?Although it is said that a person with a skill will not worry about lack of food, but my best job... Thinking of this, I couldn't help laughing, life is pretty good now, what are you thinking about.

When the evening news was about to end, Qin Siwei came.Said that I had just finished my work, and when I entered the door, I yelled that I was hungry. With the bread I found in the refrigerator, I wiped out the half plate of red beef stew and a bowl of hot and sour soup left over from my dinner.This guy has become more and more outrageous recently, basically treating my house as a cafeteria. "Did you catch up with some unexpected incident again?" I looked at his turbulent eating, "Why haven't you even eaten dinner yet?" "You're really right." He stuffed the last piece of beef into his mouth, "Chen Xuefang committed suicide."

"Ah?" I didn't react for a while, "What's going on?" "Oh, didn't I go to her house this afternoon? The door was unlocked, and when I entered, I found that the person was dead." Qin Siwei said, "What do you think the cause of death is?" "If it's really suicide...take poison?" I guessed, "women generally don't have the courage to use a knife, so they take sleeping pills?" "It's not sleeping pills." Qin Siwei said pretending to be dignified, "She took an overdose of nalatamine." "Nalatamin again?" I was even more shocked, "Same as Jin Yu!"

"Yes, we found an empty medicine bottle of nalatamin at her home, and found the fingerprints of Chen Xuefang and Jin Yu on the bottle." Qin Siwei said, "She really took Jin Yu's medicine. " "So... you think Chen Xuefang killed Jin Yu and then committed suicide?" "Basically, it can be determined that way. Although some details are still unclear, for example, I still can't figure it out. How did Chen Xuefang kill Jin Yu? How did she create an alibi for herself?" "I think there must be something wrong here." I asked Qin Siwei, "Is the time of her death determined?"

"Between ten twelve and ten thirty in the morning," he said without thinking. "How can it be measured so accurately?" I was a little surprised.In my impression, the time of death is always a vague interval. "The time determined by the forensic doctor is between 9:30 am and 10:30 am." Qin Siwei explained, "But Chen Xuefang called me from her home at 10:12 am. When I called back , the phone line is busy, which means someone is using the phone." "How do you know it's Chen Xuefang herself on the phone? She didn't talk to you at all." I reminded him.

"I understand what you mean. But there is no trace of someone else's use on the phone at Chen Xuefang's house. You know, even if you wear gloves to make a phone call, there will be fabric or leather marks. But all the phones on Chen Xuefang's house All fingerprints are her own." "But don't you think that silent phone call was very abrupt? There must be something wrong with it, and it must have something to do with Jin Yu's death." "I've also thought about this." Qin Siwei said, "Could it be the same murderer who killed Jin Yu first and then framed Chen Xuefang? But the only people who have close ties to these two people are Yang Jianmei, Liu Yang and Li He." "I'm talking about these three." "Impossible." Qin Siwei smiled, "Chen Xuefang's call came to my mobile phone at 10:12, and Yang Jianmei was with us at that time. About three or four minutes later, Li He also arrived. Liu Yang came a little later It was late, but it was not past 10:30. However, it took thirty minutes to get from Chen Xuefang's house to the bar in Shichahai without traffic jams. Therefore, even if it wasn't Chen Xuefang's call, it couldn't be any one of these three people. " "That is to say, none of these three people had time to commit crimes, and their time witness happened to be you." I seemed to understand something, "So that's it!" "What?" Qin Siwei looked at me puzzled. "Not sure yet." I asked him back, "Since you believe that Chen Xuefang killed Jin Yu and committed suicide, what was her motive?" "It's money." Qin Siwei said triumphantly, "I've been busy all afternoon today, just for this matter. You should have heard Li He say today that they will invite people from the accounting firm to check the accounts for a project they are working on this afternoon. Bar?" "Yes, at that time he and Yang Jianmei were muttering why they came to check the accounts before the project was over, and they also mentioned Chen Xuefang." "When I brought people to collect evidence at Chen Xuefang's home today, people from the Finance Department of the Software Research Institute also came to find Chen Xuefang. Chen Xuefang is an accountant, and she should have been there today to check the accounts, but she didn't. Moreover, several transactions in her hands have been found out. There is a problem with the accounts, and the total is half a million." "Chen Xuefang embezzled public funds? That's why Yang Jianmei found out that she spent a lot of money recently and planned to immigrate abroad." I felt a little suspicious, "But why did the software research institute suddenly think of auditing?" "It is said that I received an anonymous report letter exposing Chen Xuefang's corruption." Qin Siwei said, "After receiving the letter, the leaders of the discipline inspection department and the finance department of the institute began to secretly check the accounts handled by Chen Xuefang, and found that she did have problems. So last week they got in touch with the accounting firm and asked them to send professionals to conduct an audit. We are still investigating the source of the anonymous letter." "When did the institute receive the anonymous letter?" "About a month ago." Qin Siwei said, "It's a coincidence that it was not long after Chen Xuefang and Jin Yu broke up. I think the anonymous letter was probably written by Jin Yu." "Then Chen Xuefang killed Jin Yu for revenge?" "Of course." Qin Siwei seemed to feel that I was out of standard for asking such a question, "Jin Yu found out about Chen Xuefang's embezzlement of public funds. Jin Yu might use this to blackmail Chen Xuefang, so she wanted to kill her. When it was revealed, she committed suicide when she was cornered." "Will someone commit suicide for half a million? It's about the same if it's five million." "500,000 won't be a heavy sentence, but if you add another life, it's a dead end." "So, you think the case can be closed?" "Look at your face, it seems that you are not satisfied with this answer." Qin Siwei squeezed my face, "Then tell me, who killed Jin Yu and Chen Xuefang?" I stared into his eyes and said, "I'm not sure about Jin Yu, but the little trick that killed Chen Xuefang and created the illusion of not being there is not complicated at all, and, judging from the current situation, the only thing that can be done is one person." "You said it was a trick?" Qin Siwei grabbed my shoulder, "Who is it?" "Yes, to put it bluntly, it's just a trick that isn't worth mentioning." I smiled, "Now I still have a few problems that I haven't figured out, but these problems are easy for you to solve." "What questions?" Qin Siwei asked eagerly. "First, I would like to ask you to test the glass of red wine found on the coffee table at Jin Yu's house." "No other poisons were detected in that glass of wine except nalatamine." Qin Siwei said puzzled, "It has been tested three times." "But I want to know the exact concentration of nalatamine." "Then... alright." He reluctantly agreed. "Second, check the sewer of Chen Xuefang's house to see if there is any residue of nalatamine." "It's easy. I'll notify the site of the re-examination in a while." Qin Siwei agreed very readily this time. "Third, have you investigated the specific whereabouts of Yang Jianmei, Liu Yang and Li He this morning?" "I made an appointment with them to come to the team early tomorrow morning for questioning." "Also, I remember that you and Captain Wang of the traffic police team are college classmates, right?" "Wang Zili? We are classmates in the same dormitory." He looked blank, "What does this have to do with him?" "Say hello to him for me, I'll contact him tomorrow." I deliberately kept it a secret, "I'm afraid it's a bit unclear without his help." "Okay, I'll make a call to Zili." He picked up the phone and I held it down. "It's past eleven o'clock, call again tomorrow morning before it's too late." I yawned, "I have to sleep, I won't stay up late anymore, it seems like I can't make it up no matter what. You should go home quickly Rest." "Is it time to rest?" Qin Siwei said impatiently, "Since you know who killed Chen Xuefang, you must tell me first, right?" "Don't worry, I can't run away." I squeezed his face hard, "I promise to let you know the whole truth tomorrow, but it's bedtime now."
