Chapter 64 - Line Fishing
The two inside and outside the door fell into a confrontation.
Ai Liang did not intend to waste time, but directly pointed out the status quo: "No matter whether you want it or not, it is already a certain fact at the door, and no one can change it.
Instead of calling the police to make things worse, it is better to talk to me now. After I get the news I want, I will naturally leave.
Don’t you want to know your husband’s current situation?”
Ai Liang mentioned her missing husband, and now the people in the room couldn't sit still.
"Where is he?" the woman asked quickly.
Judging from the degree of decay of the corpse, the man died for at least two days.
If the time before death is included, he will be missing for at least three to four days.
Maybe I was busy not calling my family for a day or two.
But there was no news for three or four days, or even five or six days, which was enough to arouse the alertness of the family.
His wife was worried about this for so long that she had reached the critical point.
She will not let any news of her husband's whereabouts be heard.
But of course Ailiang couldn't tell her about her husband's death now.
What will a woman who is waiting for news of her missing husband react when she hears that her husband is no longer alive?
If nothing unexpected happens, it must be tears, which makes the next conversation impossible.
"Before telling you what he has done, I need you to tell me who he has come into contact with recently."
Ailiang paused: "For example, a friend or client you have never heard of, but suddenly you want to meet."
The woman was silent for a while: "How do I know if you are lying to me?"
"Just because I'm talking to you through the door now, instead of breaking into the door."
Ai Liang looked at the door handle: "How many times do you think this kind of door can block the impact?"
In the room, the woman did not refute Ai Liang, but just held the clothes hanger in her hand tighter.
"He told me last weekend that he was going to meet an old friend."
The woman seemed to give up her resistance and began to tell her abnormal behavior before her husband disappeared.
Anyway, I have talked more than once or twice in front of the police and in front of private detectives these days.
It doesn't matter if you talk to the stranger outside the door again.
What if he really knows the whereabouts of his husband?
"Although I was surprised that he had old friends, he was busy cooking in the kitchen, so he stood at the door. I just asked a few simple questions."
The woman's tone was full of regret: "If I could say a few more words at that time, maybe everything would be different..."
"I understand your pain."
Ai Liang gave a symbolic comfort so that the conversation could continue: "Have he ever said where he was going?"
"He said he was going to a coffee shop in the city center, but the police found that he didn't go there at all through surveillance along the road!"
The woman's voice was filled with a hint of crying: "The surveillance showed that he had transferred to several buses and finally got off at the key station, then walked into an Internet cafe, and he disappeared.
I asked many people with the police, but no one knew when he left the Internet cafe. He had never left that room during the surveillance..."
Ailiang did not ask the woman about the location of the Internet cafe, because he had a detailed map of Neihua City in his mind.
"Is there anything more special?" Ai Liang asked.
The woman shook her head secretly in the room: "My husband is a relatively reserved person. He rarely has close contact with others. Last weekend was the first time he proposed to meet old friends in so many years.
I had asked about his past before, but he always perfunctorily said that he would only study hard when he was in school and had no time to establish interpersonal relationships..."
Ai Liang was outside the door listening to the woman nagging about her husband's deeds, and his understanding of the deceased deepened.
Only by understanding a person's personality and habits can one predict the other's psychological and behavioral patterns.
Then find clues.
"Do your husband usually have the habit of bringing wedding rings?" Ai Liang asked suddenly.
"No...but he did carry a ring when he left." The woman replied.
Ai Liang had a general reasoning direction in his mind.
"That is to say he has never mentioned his origin to you."
While listening to her, Ai Liang thought about how to explain the death of the other husband.
A bold plan was also produced.
If the fish can take the bait, it will save a lot of time.
"origin?"
The woman was stunned and a little confused.
"Your husband is dead."
Ai Liang did not hide it, and he first identified the result as soon as he came up.
"Die...?"
The woman reacted and shouted: "Impossible? How did you know he was already?! Could it be you..."
Ai Liang said calmly: "Your husband is not from the Asian Union, you should be clear about this."
Bang!
The woman jumped out of the bed and slapped the door panel: "Let me explain it clearly first! Why do you say he is dead? Where is he now?"
“I’m talking now.”
Ai Liang continued: "Your husband was once a member of a transnational underground organization unknown to ordinary people. Later, because of some things, he defected from his organization and came to Asia United.
Just recently, the organization began to send people to Asia United, preparing to silence the group of people who defected with him.
Although it is not clear who he went to meet last week, it is very likely that the person he was going to meet killed him."
"Do you think I am a three-year-old child with stories in this kind of movie?" the woman sarcastically said.
"I promised to tell you that part of the truth is mine, and believing it or not is yours. I don't mind you taking my words as a story."
Ai Liang took out the ring from his pocket and put it on the floor at the door: "I helped him with his body, and it has now turned into ashes.
Before burning the body, I kept some personal belongings, such as his ring."
"I don't know if he wants you to know his death, but I think you have the right to know that you don't have to spend years or even decades in search of a dead person.
Don’t think about finding the corpse. The corpse was burned very clean, and nothing was left except this ring and cell phone fragments. In addition, I put the ring at the door of the room. As for whether it is your husband’s one, you can check it yourself.”
After Ai Liang finished speaking, he turned around and left the same way.
The woman sticking behind the door listens to the every move outside the person.
I don't know how long it took, but she quietly opened the door and slowly looked down at her feet with a nervous expression.
A silver-white ring was quietly posing there.
The woman recognized it at a glance as her and her husband's wedding ring.
She held up the ring and pressed it to her heart with her hands. All the past surged into her heart in an instant, and tears flowed down her face.
