Chapter Eighteen: Slut

"Li Ran is from a single-parent family. Her father died of stomach cancer ten years ago. She has been living with her mother and younger sister. Her mother was diagnosed with uremia three years ago, so she sold the house to her mother for treatment.

, they live in a rented house now." Gu Hai said, raising his finger and pointing to a residential building in front, "That's the building in front, on the second floor."

In front of the unit building is a green belt with several thick willow trees on the lawn and a stone pavilion. The elderly enjoy the cool air in the pavilion and the children play inside. There are ropes tied between the willow trees, and quilts and quilts are hung on them to dry.

Clothes. A young woman wearing a gray cotton and linen skirt is using a clip to fix a thin blanket hanging on a rope to dry, talking and laughing with an old woman holding a baby.

Just seeing her profile, Han Feilu recognized her as Li Ran, because beautiful women are very recognizable. He walked along a stone path in the lawn and said, "Li Ran?"

Li Ran was teasing the child in the old woman's arms. When he heard someone calling his name, he turned his head following the sound and looked at Han Feilu's face for a moment: "Who are you?"

She had just taken a shower, and her whole body exuded the fragrance of body wash. Her hair was draped wetly on her shoulders. When she turned her head, tiny water droplets were thrown out, which looked like sparkling bubbles in the sunlight.

Han Feilu couldn't help but look at her for a moment, then took out his police officer ID card from his pocket and said, "I am a police officer, and there is a case that requires your cooperation in the investigation."

Li Ran led the two uninvited police officers back home, opened the door and said: "Please come in."

This is a small two-bedroom apartment, but it is neat, clean, warm and bright. However, the furniture is all of an old style, especially the old refrigerator by the window. It buzzes loudly when working.

The outdoor air conditioner is also noisy.

Han Feilu and Gu Hai sat down on the sofa. Li Ran poured tea and fruits, entertained them very attentively, and even asked them if they wanted to eat popsicles. Han Feilu declined: "No need to bother, we will leave soon."

Like a nimble swallow, Li Ran flew into the small kitchen and said, "Let's have one. The weather is so hot today. These are the strawberry and watermelon popsicles I made myself."

There was also a narrow refrigerator in the kitchen. She took out the mold for making popsicles from the freezer, and there were bright red popsicles neatly arranged inside. Han Feilu took two popsicles, said thank you, and gave one to her.

Gu Hai.

Li Ran sat down on a single sofa and asked, "What do you want from me?"

Han Feilu touched Gu Hai's arm, then stood up and walked towards the window with a popsicle in his mouth. Li Ran's eyes followed him unconsciously until Gu Hai called out: "Ms. Li Ran."

Li Ran hurriedly turned back to look at Gu Hai, and hurriedly adjusted his smile.

Gu Hai finished the popsicle in two bites and briefly explained the fact that Lan Lan had become a fugitive murder suspect, and then asked, "Has Lan Lan had any contact with you in the past two days?"

Li Ran felt very unbelievable when he heard that his good sister had turned into a suspect. He was stunned for a while, and Gu Hai took the trouble to ask questions several times before he said: "Ah? No, she didn't contact me.

"

Gu Hai: "When was the last time you met her?"

Li Ran recalled for a moment: "It should be... it should be half a month ago. I've been busy with work recently, and she's also busy, so we don't see each other very often. Well, officer, did you just say that Lan Lan ran away?

"

Gu Hai: "Yes, her current whereabouts are unknown. We suspect that someone helped her hide."

Li Ran waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, no, it's not me. I will never do such a thing."

Gu Hai examined her silently for a moment and then said: "We know that you are Lan Lan's best friend. If she contacts you, you must tell us."

Li Ran said: "Don't worry, although Lan Lan and I have a good relationship, human lives are at stake. I can't decide who is who."

Han Feilu stood by the window for a while, looking at the freezer on the enclosed balcony. Because the freezer made too much noise, like a low-power electric drill, he asked, "Is the freezer broken?"

Li Ran smiled and said: "It's been too long, and it's inevitable that there will be some minor problems. I've already asked someone to fix it."

Han Feilu left the balcony, walked slowly through the living room to the doors of two adjacent bedrooms, and asked, "Which one do you live in?"

Li Ran stood up and wanted to walk over. As soon as he raised his feet, Han Feilu pressed his palm towards her and said, "Sit down and I'll take a look."

Li Ran had no choice but to sit back and said, "I live in the room on the left, and my mother lives in the room on the right."

Han Feilu: "Isn't your mother hospitalized?"

Li Ran: "Ah, yes, she lived in that room before."

Han Feilu: "Can I take a look?"

Li Ran: "Okay, but my sister is taking a nap, please keep your voice down."

Pushing open the bedroom door on the right, Han Feilu saw a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl lying on her side on the bed facing the window, sleeping. He then pushed open the door of another bedroom. This bedroom was larger.

There was a photo of Li Ran hanging, which should be Li Ran's own room. The wardrobe in the room was not zipped tightly, and a red leather suitcase was exposed from it. After looking at the two bedrooms, Han Feilu closed the door.

He walked towards the balcony again, and glanced at Gu Hai on the way.

Gu Hai then asked, "Do you work at the Heaven and Earth Nightclub?"

Li Ran said: "Actually, not really. Our boss's name is Pan Shaojie, you should know him. He not only manages the nightclub, he also manages a company, which is a subsidiary of Pan's Enterprise. I am Mr. Pan's secretary, and I also manage the nightclub.

Some accounts. So I occasionally go to nightclubs."

Gu Hai: "But you resigned a few days ago."

Li Ran was a little surprised that he was being investigated so transparently, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Yes, I resigned because I wanted to change to a job with more opportunities for promotion. I will be thirty years old soon, and I can't keep working as a secretary to the boss.

.You won’t learn much this way.”

She answered everything comprehensively, Gu Hai couldn't find any mistakes, he pulled up Cai Minmin's photo from his phone

: "Do you have any impression of this woman?"

Li Ran recognized her at a glance: "She is Cai Minmin, she works in a nightclub. I have met her several times."

Gu Hai: "Have you seen her on the night of May 14th?"

Li Ran frowned slightly: "The night of the 14th? Isn't it the day of Mr. Pan's party?"

Hearing this, Gu Hai glanced sideways at Han Feilu. Han Feilu was standing by the window, holding on to the humming refrigerator and nibbling the last bit of popsicles, but his eyes were always fixed on Li Ran.

Gu Hai: "Have you seen her?"

Li Ran: "I remember it was Mr. Pan's birthday that day, and he had a party at the nightclub. Did Cai Minmin also attend the party?"

There was no extra emotion on Gu Hai's face, only the usual seriousness: "I'm asking you."

Li Ran looked embarrassed: "How do I know this? Logically speaking, she is an employee and should show up, but I didn't see her at the banquet."

Gu Hai: "You also participated?"

Li Ran: "Mr. Pan asked me to deliver a document to him, so I went there and came out soon. I couldn't remember or recognize anyone there."

Han Feilu interrupted: "What documents should I send?"

Li Ran: "It's a land sale agreement. Mr. Pan wants to sell the land use rights of Sanding Building. It seems that we reached an agreement with a major shareholder that night. Let me send the contract over quickly."

Han Feilu: "Who did you see? What did you see?"

Li Ran recalled carefully: "As soon as I entered, I was led to a room on the third floor by Brother Nian, oh, a lobby manager named Feng Danian. There were only Mr. Pan and a shareholder named Liao in there. I put down the contract and left, going back and forth.

I stayed there for less than ten minutes."

Han Feilu was doubtful: "Didn't you see anything else?"

Li Ran looked puzzled: "Is there anything else?"

The bedroom door suddenly opened, and the girl who had just been sleeping on the bed came out. She was thirteen or fourteen years old, with a slim figure, a delicate and sweet appearance, and her eyebrows looked a bit like Li Ran. She saw two strange men at home.

His anxious eyes suddenly froze, and a look of fear gradually appeared on his face.

Han Feilu looked at her and found that her hands and feet were trembling, and the color on her face faded, as if she had been greatly frightened.

Li Ran quickly walked towards her, held her in his arms and said, "This is my sister, her name is Li Ke. She is a bit timid."

Li Ke hugged his sister, his two thin arms trembling constantly, revealing an unnatural red bruise on his wrist. Li Ran sent her back to the room, closed the door, and before she could speak when she returned to the living room, Han Feilu

Question: "Your | sister is injured?"

Li Ran suddenly stopped and stared at Han Feilu for a moment: "What did you say?"

Han Feilu pointed to his wrist: "There is an injury on her wrist."

Li Ran: "Oh, she, she was burned."

Her mood suddenly became much lower. She said she was going to the hospital to take care of her mother and sent her off politely.

The purpose of Han Feilu's trip had been achieved, so he didn't stay much longer and said goodbye to her with Gu Hai. Li Ran sent them to the door, Han Feilu suddenly stopped again, turned around and said to her: "The noise in the freezer is probably because of the freezer

It is not placed firmly, and there are too many things piled on top of the freezer, which will cause resonance."

Li Ran was stunned for a moment, then forced a smile and said, "Thank you, I understand."

After sending away the two policemen, she closed the door and locked it. She quickly walked to the window and saw Han Feilu and Gu Hai walking past the unit building one by one. She finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she was exhausted.

After resting for a moment, she turned her attention to the freezer. There were indeed a lot of things on the freezer, including two shoe boxes, half a box of canned beer, a hair dryer and a clothes hanger. She walked over and shook the freezer first.

She stood very firmly, which was not the reason for the noise. She took the shoe box, beer, hair dryer and other items to the ground one by one, but the freezer was still making noise. The sound was a bit weird, like a low cry...

..

The phone rang and it was Pan Shaojie. She answered the call: "Hello?"

Pan Shaojie sneered first and then said: "The police just came to find you?"

She held her mobile phone in one hand and gently touched the freezer door with the other: "Yeah."

Pan Shaojie suddenly became fierce: "Bitch, if you dare to say a word, I will put you in jail. Forged invoices and falsified contracts. Do you want to know how many years you will be sentenced?"

Li Ran raised the corners of his lips and smiled sinisterly: "Do you think I only did those things?"

Pan Shaojie: "What the hell did you say?"

Li Ran hung up the phone, bent down and put her ear against the hot cabinet door, only to hear the noise inside the freezer. The buzzing vibrations passed through her skin and reached her heart, causing a terrifying tremor in her heart.
