Chapter 43 Inquiry
The young man lowered his head, breathing heavily, his eyes were red, his cheeks were bulging, and his fists were clenched tightly.
Just now, after Xun Mu conveyed the news of Nie Xuan's murder to him, he remained like this, silent for a long time.
It seems that the relationship between these siblings is quite deep.
After another long while, he choked and asked, "Can I see my sister?"
"Okay," Xun Mu nodded: "If it's convenient for you, come back to the detachment with us later to identify the body. However, you have to be mentally prepared."
He looked up at the ceiling and pursed his lips vigorously.
"How did she die? Who killed her?"
"Wipe your throat and cut your wrists," Su Ping took over and said, "As for the murderer... I'm sorry, we have no suspects yet, and we can't rule out the possibility of suicide..."
"It can't be suicide!" The young man interrupted him with a roar. Then, his voice became softer and he murmured: "How could it be suicide? She is living well, smart and beautiful, and her income is high.
How can you commit suicide if you are carefree?"
Several people looked at each other, and finally their eyes fell on Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan was startled, then understood what the three of them meant, and said to the young man: "Can you tell me about your sister? We just found her body today, and we still know very little about her. Also, what do you call her?"
"My name is Nie Hai." The young man took a deep breath, raised his hand and wiped his face hard to wipe away the tears, and replied: "Sister, she has been very good to me since she was a child. She will let me do everything and respond to my requests.
She has always been excellent, a top student, well-behaved, good-tempered, and beautiful. She is the standard template for 'other people's children'.
From elementary school to high school, her grades were among the best in the class, and she was even better in college. Since her sophomore year, she has not asked for a penny from her family. She pays for tuition and living expenses herself, some of which are scholarships, and some of which she earns from part-time jobs.
Later, she was admitted to graduate school, and what was even more amazing was that she would send money home every month, 3,500 to 5,000 yuan a month. She often asked me if I had enough money and if I would like some. In short, she
I love my family very much, and I have been supporting my family since I was able.
Just last year, around the beginning of the year, our dad wanted to build a building at home. Although our registered residences are in Yuqiao, the pressure here is too great and prices are very high. My parents thought about working hard for a few more years and then returning home to retire.
, so I came up with the idea of building a building. My sister also put a lot of effort into building this building.
As far as I know, including the land, building materials, labor, and decoration plus one piece, the 140-square-meter five-story building cost a total of 600,000 yuan. My sister paid at least 400,000 yuan, which was all the down payment for the house she wanted to buy.
, big furniture, such as refrigerators, TVs, sofas, etc., are all made by her."
"Four hundred thousand?" Qi Yuan was a little surprised. At such a young age, Nie Xuan could actually spend four hundred thousand in one breath?
Not only that, the large furniture that Nie Hai mentioned is not cheap either. If you add one piece of seventy-seven or eighty-eight pieces to it, for a five-story building, it would probably cost over one hundred thousand yuan.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask: "What does your sister do?"
"She works in two training institutions," Nie Hai said: "One is a hobby class, teaching children to play the guzheng, and one is a high school review sprint class, teaching history. The institutions all charge wages based on the academic hour.
She teaches very well, and her parents are very satisfied. The organization also often gives her bonuses. She has a bonus of one dollar for two jobs. The salary plus bonuses add up to about 20,000 yuan every month.
She also writes novels, and her results are also very good, but it is not very stable, ranging from a few thousand to 20 to 30,000 per month. But I heard that there was a severe crackdown some time ago and a lot of books were blocked and they were all hotly searched. I also
After searching, it seems that her book is gone. Well, it was only in May.
She attaches great importance to her books. This matter may have given her a lot of pressure... but she will not commit suicide. Without her books, her training institution still has more than 20,000 yuan a month! Officer, are you?
Isn’t it a mistake?”
Su Ping waved his hand: "I just don't rule out this possibility for the time being, and I didn't say that she committed suicide.
In addition, according to the investigation, the time of her death should be in early April. Before the severe crackdown you mentioned, her death should not have much to do with this matter."
"April?" Nie Hai was stunned and seemed to have thought of something. He quickly asked: "Officer, are you sure it's April?"
When several people heard that there was something going on, they all got excited. Brother Song asked directly: "Yes, according to the autopsy results, she died between April 5th and 10th. Did anything big happen during this period?"
"No." Nie Hai shook his head and said, "It's just that on April 2nd, when the house was completed, my parents went back to their hometown to inspect and pay the workers, and then went on a trip. My sister called me to tell me about this.
of.
At that time, I was thinking that my sister was under so much pressure, working two jobs and a part-time job, that she should go out for a walk, relax and not be overwhelmed, so I suggested that she also go out for a walk, and she was also very moved.
, I said I wanted to go to Yunnan, and I happen to have a few friends there.”
Hearing this, Qi Yuan frowned and began to think. After a while, seeing that none of Su Ping and the others had any intention of speaking, but only looking at himself, he said: "In terms of time, it is not much different from the time when your sister was killed. Then.
What happened next? From April to now, you guys haven’t contacted each other for so long..."
"Normally speaking," Nie Hai interrupted him and said, "We do talk often. Most of the time, my sister comes to me and asks me how I am doing in school, whether I have enough money, etc. When I come to her,
not much."
After a pause, he changed the topic and said: "Actually, I had my suspicions. On the day of graduation, she would have contacted me to ask about the situation, but she didn't. Even when I told her on WeChat that I had graduated, she didn't reply. Then
Sometimes I wondered if something had happened to her.
I asked my mother again, but my mother said that my sister was admitted to Stanford University and wanted to study abroad. It was not easy to contact overseas, so she told me not to worry, so I didn’t ask any more questions."
"Oh?" Su Ping raised his thick eyebrows, sensing something was wrong.
On the day of Nie Hai's graduation, Nie Xuan had been dead for a long time, and her body was soaking in the sea. How could she go abroad to study? Besides, she studied the history of the pre-Qin, Han, Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. How could she go abroad to study further?
Do you really think everything is fine abroad?
Obviously, Nie Hai's mother was lying, and the lie was very bad. The question is, what was the motive for lying?
Thinking of this, Su Ping rolled his eyes and asked, "Does your family have a barbell?"
"Huh? How do you know?" Nie Hai frowned and said:
"My father is middle-aged and has gained some weight. My sister was worried that my father would get high school education, so she asked him to exercise more. She got him a fitness card and bought equipment such as barbells and treadmills.
However, when I came back this time, everything else was there, but the barbell was missing... Could it be that my dad gave it away?"
