C2 Chapter 2

Wei Tianmin ignored him and let him talk to himself as if he was in a dream. Beautiful woman, rich woman, boyfriend suicide. He connected these three concepts together in his mind and faintly felt a strange feeling. As he pondered, he tapped the glass panel on his desk a few times with the pen in his hand. With a few clicks, Wu Le was jolted back to reality from the beautiful dream he was passionately talking about. He raised his head and looked at Wei Tianmin in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do.

Wei Tianmin, who sat opposite him, coughed lightly. He leaned back on the sofa and drew a beautiful circle in the air with the pen in his right hand. As he drew the circle, the outline of the event seemed to become more distinct in his mind. His expression was serious and serious as he spoke slowly. "You know, I've had a lot of criminal cases on my hands in recent years. So far, there should be at least twenty or thirty of them, right? I have discovered that there is a pattern in a large part of criminal cases: if a multimillionaire suddenly commits suicide in some inexplicable way and at the same time his entire fortune will be inherited by the woman he loved most in life, the result of this case will often be — he actually died of murder, and the murderer of him is the woman who has long coveted his property and whom he himself loved so deeply … "

"Hey!" Hey! Hey! Please stop reading so many detective stories, okay? Have you carefully reviewed our investigative evidence? Do not make any mistakes in your subjectivism! " Before Wu Le had finished listening to him, a disapproving look appeared on his face, "There are several elements in our material that are ironclad: firstly, Cheng Shi's suicide will is true; secondly, his girlfriend Shen Hong has a witness statement that she wasn't at the scene of Cheng Shi's suicide; and secondly, three or four years ago, when Cheng Shi and Shen Hong were dating, he had already made a will in the notary office of the Bureau of Justice, leaving his entire fortune to Shen Hong. How does this match with the 'pattern' that you created out of thin air? "

"I admit that the last thing you need to avoid in a case is being preconceived. However, that part of your material about Cheng Shi's suicide motives seems to me rather unconvincing. " Wei Tianmin frowned and said thoughtfully, "First, we can put ourselves in the role of Cheng Shi. First, I have made a name for myself, and I have been admired by everyone for my artistic achievements. Second, I sit in Jincheng with more money than I can spend in my entire life. Third, I have found an extraordinarily beautiful couple who live together in a beautiful private villa with an elegant, rich life in a peachy garden. Why did I kill myself, for example, in such a great happiness?

"And don't forget, in his will, he calls himself 'suicidal' — how strange it is that he, who already has such a fine and elegant life, would go to suicidal trouble? Are these factors not explicable by common sense? "

"You're right!" If I were you, like Cheng Shi, to have these superior conditions, I would be unable to resist secretly laughing in my dreams! Why would you want to commit suicide? " Wu Le also agreed with his analysis, but he retorted with some unwillingness, "However, the differences between people can't be generalized. Artists like Cheng Shi usually behave somewhat neurotically and may be able to do anything at a moment's notice... Who can say? "

"Criminal investigation is a science. What science needed the most was clear concepts, rigorous reasoning and accurate judgement. How can your vague, drifting, empty words be credible? " Wei Tianmin shook his head, he still had a serious expression, "The key breakthrough in this case is Cheng Shi's girlfriend, Shen Hong. She and Cheng Shi spent their days together, and it was impossible not to understand his psychological changes and some external factors that led to his suicide. Do you have Shen Hong's number? There are some details I'd like to ask her about. "

Wu Le was looking at him meaningfully, with a strange smile on his face. He let out an "oh" and slightly raised his head, laughing as he said, "Ai …" Sigh! So it turns out that Brother Wei and I walked around in circles for a long time in the fog, and finally wanted to see that Miss Shen Hong! "What, Brother Wei's heart is moved too!" He clapped his hands and continued to tease: "Don't be like this, Brother Wei! You're the gentle and virtuous "Sister Su"! What? And you want to show the elegance of our youth, to comfort the hearts of others that have been shattered by the loss of a loved one? "

Wei Tianmin's face blushed slightly when he heard his glib tone. He put on a straight face and punched him in the chest, "Why are you spouting so much nonsense!? Give me her contact details. "

"Ai …" Still, Chief Zhong was right: Don't joke with Wei Tianmin - he always treats your joke like a case... Alright! Alright! I'm scared of you! "Don't you dare punch me again!" Wu Le laughed as he took a step back. He then took out a business card from his pocket and threw it over, "Look, her cell phone number is on this card. I gave you such a precious opportunity to know a beauty for free! How do you thank me? "

The card flew in like a butterfly. Swift as lightning, Wei Tianmin stretched out his index and middle finger. With the move "Swallows Casting Water", he gently and coincidentally caught the card in midair.

With the name card in his hand, a faint fragrance assaulted his nostrils, like the fragrance of tulips. Wei Tianmin smelled the fragrance, and for some reason, he felt a surge of emotions. He saw that the words on the card were also elegant and refined: Shen Hong, a high-level model of Ningchuan City 'Combination of Black Swan'.

The "Black Swan Combination" was a model group that was directly subordinate to the "Black Swan Club". There was a saying in the city: one could not be rich, one could only look at the city government; one could not look at beauty, one could only look at "Black Swan". Some even claimed that the beauties in the entire city were concentrated in the "Black Swan combination". Another way of putting it was that the young miss of the "Black Swan Group" would either have a large sum of money to hold, or be covered with a large piece of cloth. Every single one of them had extraordinary origins. They weren't people that the little hoodlums dared to provoke. The fact that Shen Hong openly wrote down her identity as a member of the "Black Swan Set" as a business card indicated at least two things: firstly, that she was indeed beautiful, and secondly, that she was rich and powerful. Wei Tianmin looked at the name card quietly. After pondering for a moment, he asked Wu Le: "Wu Le, I heard that the young miss of the 'Black Swan Club' has a very complicated identity … You've seen this Shen Hong before — what do you think she is? "

"Brother Wei, I've only met her once or twice, and she's always talked to me in formal occasions with Captain Chen …" Wu Le smiled lightly, "On the basis of this kind of interaction, do you think that I can accurately answer what kind of person she is? — — But, I don't think she looks like the kind of girl you think she is …. How should he put it? "You'll know when you come into contact with it yourself …"

Wei Tianmin glared at him. What he said was the same as not saying anything at all. After thinking for a while, Wei Tianmin dialed Shen Hong's cell number on his business card. His phone rang. The ringtone that rang beside Wei Tianmin's ear was playing a song, "Deferring Eyebrows":

"One is a fairy from the Garden of Zhou, the other is a flawless beauty. If she said she didn't have a fortuitous encounter, then she might have met him again in this life? If it was said that they were fated, then how would their minds fade away? A self-pity, an empty labour. One was the moon in the water, the other was the flower in the mirror. How many tears can there be in the eye... "How can you forbid autumn to winter, and spring to summer!"

The song was so distant, so ethereal, yet so poignant. Wei Tianmin listened quietly and waited for her to pick up the phone.

The song "Falling Eyebrow" came to an end. After a while, a melodious female voice slowly rang out, "Hello, may I ask who you are?"

When Wei Tianmin heard this voice, he didn't know why, but he felt a warm electric current flowing through his heart and an indescribable itch overflowed from his body. The voice was graceful, but it was also sexy. He composed himself, covered his constantly fluctuating heart, and slowly said as if he was calm, "Hello, Miss Shen. I'm Wei Tianmin from the Criminal Investigation Division of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. "

"Wei Tianmin?" The voice suddenly stopped, it was quiet for a moment, but it still carried on with a heart-shaking tone, "Are you really Wei Tianmin, the one who Ningchuan people call the young superintendent, the forensic expert? I read about you in the papers. I admire you. "

Hearing a very beautiful woman praise him with such a beautiful voice, Wei Tianmin, who had always thought of "indifference and serenity" as the basis of his body cultivation, suddenly felt that being famous was actually a very valuable thing. He smiled somewhat complacently and said, "Thank you for your praise, Miss Shen. I came to you today to find out something about Cheng Shi's suicide. "

The voice fell silent. Wei Tianmin also understood and went silent, so he wasn't in a hurry to ask further.

After about a minute, her voice sounded again, but it was already slightly hoarse. "Alright, let's talk face to face. I'm not free today. We'll meet tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at the Love Bar on West Main Street. " With that, he hung up the phone.
