After saying that, Su Ping picked up the milk tea cup and took a sip, then added: "It's not just about her personal character. I think there's a big problem with her and Wang Hua's relationship as a couple.

Just for a business trip, you have told me several times. You see, when I was on a business trip and had free time at night, I was not allowed to call my wife for a long time? Even if I was really tired, I still had to talk a few times.

In other words, how is it possible that there is no contact for several days in a row?"

"Yes." Qi Yuan nodded repeatedly, convinced.

"You're right." Su Ping glanced at him sideways: "Single."

Qi Yuan:???

Su Ping lit up his cigarette again and said, "Ji Huangan's address is not far from here... give him a call and ask him to come over."

"I'll make a call first to ask if it's convenient, in case someone else's company is quite far away." Qi Yuan took out his cell phone, and then asked Su Ping for his opinion.

Seeing Su Ping nod, he dialed his cell phone number.

After a while, the phone was connected, and after a few words, Qi Yuan said he would wait for him in the store.

"Tsk," Su Ping asked, "Is he nearby?"

"Yes," Qi Yuan replied: "His work unit is also here, very close, and he often comes to this milk tea shop. He knows the name as soon as I say it."

"He didn't think you were a fraud?"

"I can't get over this problem." Qi Yuan held his forehead.

Su Ping spread his hands.

About three minutes after the incident, they saw a young man who was estimated to be about thirty years old walking into the milk tea shop. After looking around, he walked to their table and asked, "Officer Qi?"

Qi Yuan stood up, showed his ID, and said: "Is this Ji Huang'an? Hello, I am Qi Yuan, a criminal police officer from the Yuqiao Public Security Criminal Investigation Detachment. This is our Su team, Su Ping. Please sit down, if you want to drink

What to order?”

"No, no need." The young man sat down, waved his hand, and asked, "Um, officer, what's the matter with calling me over?"

"Indeed." Qi Yuan went straight to the point and said, "There is a murder case and I need to know the situation from you."

"Huh?" Ji Huangan seemed to be startled. He opened his mouth and widened his eyes, and asked in surprise: "Homicide? Who...who?"

"Your friend, Wang Hua."

"Gudu!" Ji Huangan swallowed and couldn't believe it: "He? How could he..."

Qi Yuan asked again: "I heard that you two have a good relationship?"

"Ah? Well... uh? Who did you listen to?"

"Does it matter?"

Ji Huangan swallowed again, laughed twice, and then said: "Misunderstanding, I'm afraid there is a misunderstanding here."

"What misunderstanding?" Qi Yuan raised his eyebrows.

"Ahem," Ji Huangan coughed twice, and then said: "The relationship between us is actually average, not very good. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in saying that we are very good. If you don't believe me, ask our classmates, they all know that we were in college

I didn’t even say a few words.”

Qi Yuan curled his lips without trace, opened his notebook, and said, "Please tell me in detail."

"Hey, hey!" Ji Huangan nodded repeatedly and explained: "We are fellow villagers, both from Yuqiao, and we went to the same university, were in the same class, and were in the dormitory next door, so we are quite destined.

Then after we graduated, we all returned to Yuqiao. We had some kind of care after graduation, plus we all became more mature and had more contacts. Maybe it was because of this that we were misunderstood.

In fact, our relationship is really normal. How can I put it, he and I are so similar, both stubborn and not talkative, but we are somewhat repulsive to each other and we really can't get along.

It was the same reason for you when I was in college. We didn't communicate much. Although we can't be called acquaintances, it's not much better. We just said hello when we met, and we could clink glasses of wine when we had dinner, and that was it."

Qi Yuan memorized the key points of his words, then looked at him and said: "But... according to what we know so far, he has said to the outside world that you are his best friend now."

"..." Ji Huangan was silent for two seconds before asking: "Did he really say this...?"

"Not sure, it was reported by others, but I think it's very credible."

Qi Yuan replied like this.

Ji Huangan fell silent again, and finally turned his face and said, "Maybe... he himself misunderstood something."

"oh?"

"It may sound a bit heartless, but I have many friends, and he is just one of them who is relatively neither important nor important." Ji Huangan took a deep breath, seemed to have made some determination, and continued with a firm tone: "Maybe he is still too young.

In simplicity, the friendship at the dinner table is regarded as real friendship, but in fact, it is not the case.

Sure enough, he is more stubborn than me, more boring and more innocent than me. No wonder he has been working at the bottom for so many years, with a salary of only 3,500 to 4,000 yuan, and he can't even pay his personal income tax."

Qi Yuan frowned slightly.

Ji Huangan didn't notice his expression, spread out his hands again, stared down at his palms, and said: "More than ten years after graduation, I have changed a lot, and my temperament has also changed a lot, but he seems to

It's still the same as before, a little more mature, but no fundamental change.

When I see him, I will inevitably think of the past, and the thoughts and mentality that come with it are very complicated...

Can Officer Qi understand this? On the one hand, I feel a little nostalgic and emotional, as if I have seen the past me; but on the other hand, I feel very naive and a little impatient.

Maybe I'm eager to get rid of the immature side of the past, or maybe I'm envious of him being the same for many years and still going his own way as before. When all kinds of messy and even contradictory emotions are mixed together, it's really complicated and I can't help it.

When I come into contact with him, I always feel a little repelled."

Having said this, he clenched his fists again, raised his head slightly, looked into Qi Yuan's eyes, quickly looked away and faced to one side, and continued:

"I have said so much just to explain that he is a relatively good friend of mine, but I have many such friends. He is just a special one among them, but the relationship is only moderate among them, neither light nor heavy.

So my understanding of him is limited, because I subconsciously don’t want to pay attention to him, so I may not be able to provide you with any valuable clues.”

Qi Yuan's eyebrows tightened: "Why, he was killed, and you don't have any other ideas?"

"I'm very sorry." Ji Huang'an sighed: "It's a pity that he died at a young age, leaving an orphan and a widowed mother. How can he live? Fortunately, his wife was admitted to the civil service and the benefits are pretty good, and his father also

He is quite rich, and his family's life will not be too difficult in the future."

After a pause, he added: "It's a pity that I will lose a friend I can talk to in the future. I have many friends, but if I don't have one, I will lose one. It's quite emotional."

Qi Yuan stared at him for three seconds.

Ji Huangan's words seemed a bit too cold-blooded.

At this time, Ji Huangan sighed again: "To be honest, I feel a little sad, but... it's not too strong. Maybe in order to grow up, I really lost too many things, such as human nature.

What I am now is truly unimaginable before. Before I graduated from college, I was very emotional. But after graduation, I think about it now. Many of my classmates, even many relatives, and childhood playmates have been around for a long time.

I haven't contacted them for a while, and I don't know or care whether they are doing well or not.

To be honest, the only people I really care about now are my parents, my wife and my daughter. As for other people, I really don’t have the energy to worry about it...

Officer, can I ask? When is Ah Hua’s funeral scheduled? At least it’s for classmates and friends, I’ll go pay my respects and send a wreath.”

"You have to ask He Jian about this." Su Ping finally spoke, then lit up the cigarette with a click.

"It's time to call my siblings and express my condolences." Ji Huangan nodded and said.

"Why don't you come and ask?" Qi Yuan said, "You live so close..."

"It's not good. I'm alone." Ji Huangan sighed: "You have to avoid suspicion."

The corners of Qi Yuan's mouth twitched slightly.

At this time, Ji Huangan took the initiative to ask: "Do you have anything else to ask? If you don't want me, I'll go back first. I'm busy with work, so I took a temporary leave. It's hard to be away for too long."

"Yes, don't worry, sit tight." Su Ping puffed out smoke and said, "When was the last time you contacted Wang Hua?"

Ji Huangan pursed his lips hard, and his butt stuck back to the chair. After two seconds, he said: "A week ago, he told me that he was going on a business trip, and asked me if there was anything I wanted to bring, and he could help me bring it.

Come back. I can bring whatever I want to bring. Online shopping is convenient these days, so I can just buy whatever I need online."

"Call by phone?"

"We had a meal together in the restaurant." Ji Huangan said: "That day he said he wanted to eat Japanese food and asked me if I wanted a piece. I was thinking that I hadn't eaten for a while, so I agreed, and then he said

This matter."

After finishing speaking, Ji Huangan curled his lips and said: "By the way, there is something I'm confused about.

The Japanese food we ate that day was not cheap. The two of us ate for four to five hundred dollars, and he didn’t even blink. And it wasn’t just this time, I saw that his consumption was always very high.

I was surprised. His monthly salary was only more than 3,000 yuan, which was the same amount before my younger siblings passed the exam. Some time before the exam, he quit his job and stayed at home to prepare for the exam full-time. Where did he get the money to travel around?"

At this point, he couldn't help but look around, as if he felt guilty, and then lowered his voice and continued: "There are rumors in our circle that he may have borrowed a lot of online loans, and they said that we must be careful about him.

If we borrow money, it will definitely be wasted if we lend it out.

Not only that, they also said, don’t borrow money to borrow money from poverty, especially gamblers, drunkards and pretending to be criminals, otherwise you might as well use it for charity.”

"It rhymes pretty well." Su Ping muttered, and then asked: "What about you?"

"I said a few words to him, but I didn't say too much, because it was obvious that his consumption and income were completely unequal." Ji Huang'an said, "But it's strange that he never asked for a loan.

, we have never received a debt collection call or anything.

By the way, he didn't borrow a loan shark, right? He was killed by those people? "

"You are really concerned about the cause of his death." Su Ping roared.
