Chapter 34: Plum Blossom Knot

Han Feilu looked away from the computer and looked at him: "What do you want to hear?"

Zhou Song: "How is Wen Zaizhou's case?"

Han Feilu was thinking about talking to him about the case: "He pleaded guilty. I took him to the identification site this morning, but it didn't go well."

Zhou Song: "How could it not go well?"

Han Feilu: "It was past one o'clock in the morning when he pulled Li Feifei's body to the unfinished building in Lijing Garden. The unfinished building was large in size and had no lights. Each building looked exactly the same. He couldn't tell which building he entered.

Which building? I can't guide him, I can only wait for him to think about it slowly, but he can't remember it. I have to find time to take him to identify it again in the next two days."

Zhou Song: "What about the first scene?"

Li Feifei's body was dumped in an unfinished building. The unfinished building was not the first scene, but Wen Zaizhou's home.

Han Feilu: "The identification at the first scene went smoothly. The blood stains on the stairs of Wen Zaizhou's house had been cleaned up. However, after luminol was sprayed on, large areas of reaction color appeared on the steps and floor, indicating that the floor

There were indeed large blood stains on the steps."

Zhou Song: "The first scene was Wen Zaizhou's home. This can be confirmed. But I can't understand Li Feifei's line of action. She appeared near Lijing Garden around 9 pm on the 28th, and then went to Wen Zaizhou.

At home, Wen Zaizhou sent him back to Lijing Garden a few hours later. Isn't this strange?"

Han Feilu: "We found out Li Feifei's clear course of action that night. At around 9pm on the 28th, she went not to Lijing Garden, but to a nearby thrift store, where she bought an old pocket watch. We

We also found the taxi driver who took Li Feifei to Wen Zaizhou's house that night. The driver couldn't remember Li Feifei's face, but he remembered that the customer came out of the thrift store, and it should be Li Feifei."

Zhou Song: "Didn't the camera inside the community where Wen Zaizhou live capture the scene of Li Feifei getting out of the car?"

Han Feilu: "Only the main road in the community has cameras. The driver said that the guest got off the car at the door of the unit building, and the camera could not capture her."

Zhou Song bent down, grabbed the mouth of the milk tea cup with his hand, rested his chin on the back of his hand, and said thoughtfully: "Old pocket watch... Why did Li Feifei buy an old pocket watch?"

Han Feilu: "I had a few chats with the wife of the thrift store. She said I would buy it as a gift for her boyfriend. Her boyfriend likes to collect vintage watches."

Zhou Song: "Is it Wen Zaizhou?"

Han Feilu shook his head: "It's not Wen Zaizhou, she should be talking about another boyfriend. But this confirms that Wen Zaizhou didn't lie. Li Feifei has a boyfriend besides him. What's suspicious is,

We did not find the old pocket watch at the crime scene or the body dump site."

Zhou Song: "What do Wen Zaizhou say?"

Han Feilu: "He doesn't like collecting watches. That watch was not given to him. He has never seen it before."

Zhou Song: "Do you want to find that watch?"

Han Feilu said firmly: "It must be found. The cases I handle must form a tight closed loop. The chain of evidence must be sufficient to turn the case into a solid case."

Zhou Song pushed the milk tea aside, lay on the table in silence for a while, and said, "Is Qiao Qi's case settled?"

Han Feilu said: "It can't be resolved. Li Feifei is the suspect who killed Qiao Qi. Qiao Qi's case cannot come to an end because of Li Feifei's death. Li Feifei's motive for killing Qiao Qi must continue to be investigated." He looked at it.

Watch, it’s past 3 o’clock noon, “You’re going somewhere with me.”

Han Feilu locked the computer screen, took the car keys and walked out of the office.

Zhou Song followed him downstairs: "Where are you going?"

Han Feilu: "Last time you said that Li Feifei is hiding and Qiao Qi is hiding. Qiao Qi will not hide deeper than Li Feifei. Finding clues from Qiao Qi will have a better chance of winning. In this case, let's go to Qiao Qi's house to have a look.

"

Qiao Qi is not a local. After graduating from university, she stayed in Yucheng to work and rented a small one-bedroom apartment by herself. Han Feilu led Zhou Song to find this rental house in a remote community.

He took out the key he found in Qiao Qi's belongings in advance and prepared to open the door. When he arrived at the door of the rental house where Qiao Qi lived, he found that the door was ajar and someone was walking around inside.

Han Feilu blocked Zhou Song back and looked through the crack in the door. There was a young girl walking around in the living room, as if she was packing things. He pushed the door open, and the girl turned around to see them and asked:

"Who are you looking for?"

Han Feilu walked in: "I am a policeman, who are you?"

The girl said: "I am Qiao Qi's friend. I am packing her things. The landlord said that if I don't take them away as soon as possible, I will throw them all away."

Han Feilu walked to the living room and showed her his ID: "What's your name?"

Girl: "My name is Chen Xing."

Chen Xing's eyes always drifted towards Zhou Song when she spoke. She thought that Zhou Song was also a policeman. According to the regulations, Zhou Song should also show his ID, but Zhou Song didn't. As soon as he walked in, he walked around like a tourist.

Han Feilu had asked Qiao Qi's colleagues about Qiao Qi's situation before, but all Qiao Qi's colleagues provided was invalid information. He was planning to look for friends who were close to Qiao Qi, but Chen Xing showed up today without asking.

Come on, it's an unexpected bonus.

The rental house has been almost packed up, many things have been put into cardboard boxes, and there are several layers of four-season clothes draped on the sofa. Han Feilu asked her to sit on the sofa, moved a flannel chair and sat opposite her, and asked:

"How long have you and Qiao Qi known each other?"

Chen Xing did not disappoint him: "We were growing up."

Zhou Song went into the bedroom and took a look around. When he came out of the bedroom, he stood leaning on the window sill and listened to Han Feilu and Chen Xing talking.

Han Feilu: "We have investigated Qiao Qi's social circle, but why have we never heard of you?"

Chen Xingdao: "I don't work in Yucheng, I work out of town. I heard from Qiao Qi's parents that something happened to Qiao Qi, so I came here on annual leave."

In this way, it is quite reasonable. Han Feilu asked again: "Do you and Qiao Qi often meet?"

Chen Xing: "We haven't seen each other for more than a year. Every time she comes home for the New Year, we have the opportunity to get together."

Han Feilu: "How is your relationship?"

Chen Xing said without hesitation: "Very good, we grew up together and separated only after working. We are closer than biological sisters."

Zhou Song interjected: "Did you know that Qiao Qi had a boyfriend not long ago and suffered from depression?"

Chen Xing looked at him and nodded.

Zhou Song raised his eyebrows: "Do you know who her boyfriend is?"

Han Feilu also looked at her eagerly, hoping to get a name from her mouth.

Chen Xingdao: "I know every boyfriend she has dated, except for one."

Zhou Song and Han Feilu looked at each other and both had a hunch: the exception mentioned by Chen Xing was the person they had been looking for.

Han Feilu: "Tell me about this accident."

Chen Xing looked sad: "Qiao Qi and I talk about everything and share each other's love lives. For a while, I had a video chat with her, and I could clearly see that she was in love, and she admitted it generously, but didn't tell her.

It seemed that there was something unspeakable about who I was. Later, I gradually felt that something was wrong. Her mood was always ups and downs, with great changes. Sometimes she called me in the middle of the night and kept crying on the phone. When I asked her why, she also said

She refused to talk about it. Her relationship didn't seem to bring good things to her life. I advised her to break up, but she said they had already broken up, and very, very late, and said she was a sinner."

The word 'sinner' caught Zhou Song's attention. He kicked Han Feilu's stool and reminded: "Qiao Qi went to Hongguang Mountain to worship Buddha on the day of the accident."

When Chen Xing heard this, he was surprised and said: "She worships Buddha? How is this possible?"

Han Feilu: "Why is it impossible?"

Chen Xing: "I know her best. She hates the theory of strange gods and has always been a staunch atheist. And she is a party member, and her parents are also party members. It is not impossible for her to worship gods and pray to Buddha.

"

Han Feilu: "We are very sure that on the day of Qiao Qi's accident, she went to Hongguang Mountain just to burn incense and worship Buddha."

Chen Xing: "Did she encounter any trouble?"

Zhou Song said calmly: "This matter is so troublesome that it changes the belief of an atheist. She will seek Buddha only when she has no hope of seeking help from others. She is very desperate."

Han Feilu asked Chen Xing again: "Do you know when Qiao Qi became prone to depression?"

Chen Xing recalled carefully: "It seemed to be after she broke up with her boyfriend."

Zhou Song walked up behind Han Feilu, put his hands on Han Feilu's shoulders, and asked Chen Xing: "You are also a girl. In your opinion, under what circumstances would you hide your feelings from your best and most trusted friend?"

Life?"

Chen Xing thought for a while, with a complicated expression: "There is only one situation."

Zhou Song: "What is it?"

Chen Xing looked at them with an embarrassed expression: "If the man I like has a family and I am already with him, in this case, even if he is my best friend, I will find it difficult to talk about it. But this can't be done.

On behalf of Qiao Qi, she is a third party. I know Qiao Qi and she will not do such a thing that breaks the moral bottom line."

Han Feilu has seen through many things: "Only those who have always adhered to the moral bottom line will feel guilty if they break through their own moral bottom line. Qiao Qi told you that she felt that she was a sinner and her sense of guilt was very strong.

, this is a sign of thinking that one’s own moral failings are wrong.”

Chen Xing was stunned for a while, covering his face and sobbing: "What happened to her!"

Zhou Song patted Han Feilu on the shoulder. Han Feilu understood, got up and followed him to the bedroom. Zhou Song crossed his arms and leaned on the window sill, saying: "Qiao Qi has become a third party who interferes in other people's marriages and families, so she

I feel so guilty that I go to pray to Buddha to burn incense?”

Han Feilu still had doubts: "Maybe it's not that simple. What you just said was right. Qiao Qi was very desperate and had no hope of seeking help from others before she went to pray to Buddha. She suffered from depression and went to worship Buddha after breaking up.

She has already broken the boundary with that mysterious man Hua Qing, why is she still so desperate?"

Zhou Song: "Some things happened during the relationship between Qiao Qi and that person. These things led to the end of the relationship between Qiao Qi and this person. They also caused Qiao Qi to feel guilty and even suffered from depression. In the end, she had to worship Buddha to seek relief.

.”

Han Feilu nodded: "You summed it up very correctly."

Zhou Song thought thoughtfully: "What exactly has she experienced?"

While talking, Zhou Song casually looked out the window, but his eyes were attracted by the curtains; the curtains were held together by two thin ropes, and the two ropes were intertwined and tied into a delicate plum blossom knot.

Zhou Song's eyes suddenly brightened when he saw the plum blossom knot tied with two ropes. He held the plum blossom knot in his palm and looked at it carefully.

Han Feilu saw this and asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Song: "Ms. Chen Xing!"

Chen Xing heard them calling him and immediately walked into the bedroom.

Zhou Song pointed to the plum blossom knot and asked, "Is this the knot you tied?"

Chen Xing shook his head: "It's not me, it's Qiao Qi."

Zhou Song: "How did you know it was Qiao Qi?"

Chen Xing: "Qiao Qi knows how to tie this kind of knot. She learned it from her mother. She likes to tie this kind of knot in places where ropes need to be tied at home. There are many tassels on the tablecloth. Didn't you see it just now?

"

Zhou Song returned to the living room. The coffee table was covered with a European-style floral tablecloth. There were hanging tassels more than ten centimeters long around it. Every four or five tassels were tied with a plum blossom knot. The plum blossom knot circled the coffee table. It was very beautiful.

pretty.

Han Feilu didn't understand why Zhou Song paid attention to the small plum blossom knot, but he was sure that Zhou Song had a reason for doing so, so he patiently waited for Zhou Song's explanation.

Zhou Song saw the plum blossom knot on the tablecloth and dragged Han Feilu to the bedroom, pointing to the plum blossom knot on the curtain: "I have seen the exact same plum blossom knot on the curtain rope."

Han Feilu: "Where did you see it?"

Zhou Song's eyes were as cold as ice: "Tong Yue's house, her and Shi Haicheng's bedroom."

A few days ago, he and Liang Xie went to Tong Yue's home to visit Tong Yue's sick mother-in-law. He looked for an opportunity to go to Tong Yue and Shi Haicheng's bedroom and saw this kind of plum blossom knot on the curtains. He didn't pay attention at the time, thinking it was from the nanny or the girl.

Grandma Tong Yue’s handiwork. At this time, she also found a plum blossom knot in Qiao Qi’s rental house, which was exactly the same as the one in Shi Haicheng’s bedroom!

When Han Feilu heard this, he also cast his eyes on the plum blossom knot on the curtain: "Are you sure?"

Zhou Song: "I'm sure."

Han Feilu held the delicate plum blossom knot in his palm and looked at it for a moment, then smiled coldly: "If Qiao Qi is involved in Tong Yue's family, then there must be some secrets in Shihai City." He turned around and saw on the dressing table in the bedroom.

There is a tablet lying around. I pick up the tablet and try to turn it on. I need a fingerprint lock to open it.

Han Feilu found a clean bag and put the computer in it. As soon as he put it away, the cell phone in his pocket rang. It was a call from Gu Hai.

Han Feilu answered the phone: "What's the matter?"

Gu Hai: "Captain Han, just now Weng Baiyang and his wife reported that their daughter Weng Xi is missing."

Weng Baiyang? Han Feilu felt that this name was familiar, but he forgot where he had forgotten it.

Gu Hai had been following him for three or four years. As long as he didn't say anything, Gu Hai knew what he was thinking: "That's the thrift store owner we went to see yesterday."

Han Feilu remembered: "The thrift store where Li Feifei bought her watch?"

Gu Hai: "Yes, that's him."

Han Feilu: "What happened to his daughter?"

Gu Hai: "Weng Baiyang's daughter Weng Xi told them a few days ago that she was going to Hainan for a trip. During this period, she had no contact with them. I just checked Weng Xi's flight. She missed that flight and did not leave Yucheng at all."

It's Hainan again, and it's a missed flight. Han Feilu had a premonition: "Which flight?"

Gu Hai: "The 10 o'clock flight on July 1st." He paused and then said, "The same flight as Li Feifei and Wen Zaizhou."
