C4 Wukang Serial Homicide(2)

"I'll go downstairs first. I need to talk to the wife of the deceased." After Xiao He finished speaking, he left, leaving Peng Wenyin staring at the ceiling. There was only a crystal chandelier on the ceiling, but he couldn't even see what it was. Suddenly, he saw a small black dot on one of the crystals.

"Jiang Han, give me a stool." Peng Wenyin frowned and said to Jiang Han.

Xiao He walked downstairs and slowly sat on the sofa in the living room. Ning Ruonan quickly said, "Captain Xiao, this is Tan Wenshi's wife, Miss Fu Lian. She said that she flew back to Ling'an from Chicago this morning, and when she went upstairs, she saw Mr. Tan's corpse, so she immediately called the police."

Xiao He pinched his chin and politely asked Fu Lian, "Madam Fu, what time did you arrive at Mausoleum of Books today?"

As Xiao He spoke, he gave Ning Ruonan a look. Ning Ruonan understood that Xiao He wanted her to investigate the authenticity of Fu Lian's whereabouts, so she stood up and left.

Fu Lian held back his tears and said, "I was traveling to Chicago with a few friends on the 8th last month. I was supposed to be at Ling'an Airport at 6 o'clock last night. Old Tan said he would pick me up, but I didn't let him go after the plane was delayed. I only arrived home at 8 this morning and wanted to go upstairs to look for him. I didn't expect … "

Seeing that Fu Lian was about to burst into tears again, Xiao He hurriedly consoled him, "Lady Fu, you have my condolences. I would like to ask if you know about the deaths of many of the executives from the Fifth Kang side dish a few months ago."

Fu Lian nodded. "Although I don't work, I have heard of these things as well. It was because of these things that last month Old Tan was so unsettled that he let me travel abroad for a while because he was afraid we would be implicated. "

Xiao He then asked, "Unease? "May I ask why Mr. Tan feels uneasy?"

Fu Lian froze for a moment. She then cried even harder. "Several members of the management in Wukang have died so miserably. Old Tan told me that he feared that there would be retaliation for the large number of indiscriminate layoffs."

"If Mr. Tan was so worried, why didn't he go out with you?" Xiao He stared intently at Fu Lian, carefully analyzing every word she said in his mind.

"I don't know. Old Tan has always been busy with his work, and when he told me about it, I was afraid to persuade him to take a walk with me. But he always said he was done with his work."

Xiao He nodded, stood up and walked a few steps, then looked around. The deceased's house was extremely clean, as if it had been deliberately cleaned by the murderer. He slowly walked to the window and bent over to carefully examine the windowsill for a long time.

She fidgeted with her bangs on her forehead and stood behind him. "Is there anything strange here, Inspector?" she asked.

Xiao He turned around and straightened his back. Shaking his head, he asked again, "It's fine. When you came back, was the door open or locked?"

She seemed to be deep in thought as she slowly said, "I remember that I'm holding a bunch of big and small bags and bowing to you. I shouted a few times at the door, but no one answered, so I put my bag down at the door, took out the keys from my pocket, and went upstairs to find Old Tan …" She did not finish her sentence. Her eyes were watery as she lowered her head to wipe away her tears.

Xiao He's index finger drummed against his leg. He comforted Fu Lian with a few words of consolation. After the woman had calmed down, he then asked, "Then how did you find the deceased?"

"Didn't I already say it? I went upstairs and found out that Old Tan had been killed! " "Officer, you must catch the murderer for our family's Old Tan."

"Don't worry." Finishing his words, Xiao He turned around and said to Jiang Han, "Go and get the nearby surveillance cameras. See who's coming in and out of here these past two days."

Jiang Han nodded and walked out.

Following that, Xiao He turned around and began to chat casually with Fu Lian. Compared to the nervous atmosphere from before, he seemed to be shifting Fu Lian's sorrowful mood.

Before long, Ning Ruonan had found the date of Fu Lian's departure. She hastily rushed back, wanting to report this matter to Xiao He, but Xiao He ignored her.

Ning Ruonan was a little angry, the relationship between the two of them was also a little subtle. She glanced at Xiao He, and carried a bunch of documents to the second floor to investigate.

Xiao He had not taken a good look at the crime scene, but he had been chatting with the wife of the deceased over a cup of tea all morning. It was already lunchtime, but he still paid no attention to anything that was happening outside the window. One moment he was chuckling softly, the next he was sullenly conversing with Fu Lian.

All the colleagues had searched the entire villa, both inside and outside, but they couldn't find anything particularly useful. Seeing Xiao He sitting there with his mouth moving, they were very dissatisfied, and their impression of the new Captain Xiao plummeted.

After a long while, Xiao He finally finished chatting with Fu Lian. After repeatedly warning Fu Lian to not return here before settling the case, he led his colleagues away in a grandiose manner.

Inside the police car, Ning Ruonan and the others were sitting together with Xiao Zhan. She asked, "Captain Xiao, I've already checked with the airline company. Fu Lian's departure time is exactly the same as what she said. What did you find out?"

"What can he find out? Just sit there and chat." Jiang Han whispered.
