93, chapter ninety three
She is informed.
It's even very possible that Ji Xun's guess just now was part of the truth back then.
But there is also a key issue——
They have no more evidence, everything is speculation. Guessing is no problem for detectives, but it is fatal to the process of criminal investigation. The police cannot solve the case just by guessing.
Ji Xun's eyes flashed across Cheng Xiang's face, which was as indifferent as ice.
He thought quickly about a breakthrough.
For Song Tingfeng, Cheng Xiang was willing to seduce Mo Nai even after they had broken up, but Song Tingfeng still jumped to his death in the end... Does Cheng Xiang feel guilty about Song Tingfeng? Song Tingfeng may be the breakthrough point.
Although Tingfeng is dead, Song Tingfeng still has parents. The parents lost their only child in middle age. If they knew what happened back then, there might be hidden secrets...
No.
This kind of off-market trick is not authentic enough. For the two old men, it is nothing more than opening their past wounds again, causing pus and bleeding again. The truth is important, but it is the responsibility of the police to pay the price and work hard for the truth.
It sounds like a long time, but when you think about it, it only takes a blink of an eye.
In the same gap, Ji Xun suddenly caught a glimpse of the two shadows under the crack of the study door in the corner of the living room. They were the marks cast by someone standing inside. There were only four people in the room, and they and Cheng Xiang were the three.
At the same time, it is self-evident who is the person staying in the living room and the rest in the study.
"What you said makes sense." Ji Xun suddenly said, "I'm sorry to bother you so late and ruined your boyfriend's proposal ceremony. That's it for today. You continue, we'll go back first."
"But don't travel far these days. There may be some things I need to ask you about later." Huo Ranyin continued.
Cheng Xiang was right in front of him. He didn't say hello to Huo Ranyin when he said this.
But Huo Ranyin connected without any obstacles.
This is probably trust in each other. But is it intellectual trust or emotional trust?
Ji Xun was somewhat curious, so when he left Cheng Xiang's house, he asked directly.
Huo Ranyin glanced at Ji Xun. He stood in the corridor and did not continue walking. He only said lightly: "Ji Xun, do you think you are the only one who can see the feet under the door?"
"Oh——" Ji Xun was disappointed, "It's boring if it's too rational."
"Reason can make work go smoothly." Huo Ranyin.
"But emotions can make life wonderful, right?" Ji Xun added the second half.
They didn't move, just waiting. There was a high probability that some disputes would break out in the room. Such disputes might bring them some opportunities to break through. In addition, by staying here, they could ensure that the quarrels inside would not happen.
Loss of control - Even if it is out of control, it can be stopped in time.
Something with a high probability happened immediately. After only three minutes, the sound came out from inside, and it was quite clear.
First came the boyfriend's voice: "Think about it, is what the policeman said true? Didn't you say that you and your ex-boyfriend had a clean break? Why, how..."
Then came Cheng Xiang's harsh tone: "What do you mean? How did you know this? Did you eavesdrop? Also, does the police mean what they say? I haven't said anything yet!"
Ji Xun put his hands in his pockets, leaned on the handrail of the corridor stairs and sighed:
"It is said that it is better to buy an old house. Old-fashioned houses are strong and have solid bricks. As for new-style houses, the cost of building materials is rising year by year due to government price restrictions, and developers want to make money, so they cut corners on materials and use
Hollow bricks; now it seems that there is some truth..."
After chatting casually, Ji Xun said nothing more, leaving the stage to the two people in the room.
Cheng Xiang’s boyfriend is named Wei Jun.
As his name suggests, he is still very handsome, but just listening to his current conversation, you can't tell how handsome he is.
Wei Jun said: "Please don't be so excited. I just want to ask. You said that your girlfriend has been visited by the police. Can't I ask? Right, I care about you too."
Cheng Xiang sneered: "Okay, what do you want to ask? How did I sleep with my ex-boyfriend?"
"Why do you speak so harshly!"
"So you don't want to ask this, so what do you want to ask? About my roommate who committed suicide after being raped?"
There was a brief silence in the room. Maybe Wei Jun lowered his voice and was talking quietly.
At this time, Ji Xun couldn't help but look at the door with regretful eyes. If Huo Ranyin was not around, he would have wanted to stick to the door panel and directly eavesdrop on the conversation inside. Unfortunately, Huo Ranyin was here, so he still had to pay attention to his image.
Fortunately, this quiet exchange did not last for a few seconds.
Suddenly, Cheng Xiang's sharp voice came from inside again: "You said you didn't care about what happened in bed with my ex-boyfriend! What you asked was not all about how Monet and I entered the hotel and did what we did in the hotel.
What, I don’t understand, why have you changed your ways to find out about my male and female affairs since you got together with me?"
"What do you mean I want to pry? I care! We are getting married, can't I just ask?"
"I don't need your concern! And first, I didn't agree to marry you; second, I never asked you about your ex-girlfriend, right?"
"You ask! Isn't she my ex-girlfriend? I will tell you whatever you ask, and I promise not to hide anything." Wei Jun said.
"What a coincidence, I don't want to know anything about you and your ex-girlfriend; I also hope you don't want to know anything about me and my ex-boyfriend."
"Why?" As he spoke, Wei Jun became anxious, "Why don't you say it? Are you afraid that I will look down on you because you sleep with someone else? I won't! We are all people in modern society, so
The film doesn’t mean anything…”
In the corridor, when Ji Xun heard this, he couldn't help but hum. He followed Wei Jun's words through the door: "I don't see that you don't care, I only see that you care a lot. Don't you know your heart when you look at others? Let's trick it first.
Expose your girlfriend's past, and when your girlfriend becomes your wife, these will become your vulnerable weaknesses in your future life. Add to that the humiliation... It's been 6102 years, and the feudal poison has not yet been cleansed.
"
This kind of indifference in words, but in fact, the most caring expression in the heart cannot deceive Cheng Xiang, who gets along with him day and night. In fact, most of the conflicts in marriage are told to outsiders, and when outsiders say "that's it"? It's purely a matter of standing up and talking.
No pain in the back, only by being in that environment can one experience the suffocation and emptiness of it.
A series of meaningless female screams and crashing noises instantly came from the room. It might be that Cheng wanted to sweep some glass products to the ground and break them. Then the back door opened, and Wei Jun scratched his face with red.
Mark, he was driven out in a state of embarrassment.
He saw Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin in the corridor at a glance.
As the saying goes, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Ji Xun, who was clearly eavesdropping on the conversation inside, looked at Wei Jun extraordinarily calmly, but Wei Jun was secretive and yelled inside: "Cheng Xiang, are you crazy? I'll ask what's wrong, and I'll poke you."
I have a tube in my lungs. How many times have you talked about in the past? You can’t even fit them on the bus. Don’t get married!"
Another vase was thrown out of the door and hit the ground. This was a European-style vase with a clock. The enamel painting on the bottle was torn into pieces. The angel holding the clock broke its wings, and spider webs climbed up the dial.
Then, intermittent sobbing came from the room, and Cheng Xiang was breaking down and crying in the living room.
Standing outside the door, facing the entrance hall at the junction of the living room and dining room, you cannot directly see the people in the room - and the people in the room cannot directly see them.
Do you want to go in? Ji Xun asked Huo Ranyin with his eyes.
Wait a minute. Huo Ranyin also answered with his eyes.
After waiting for almost ten minutes, the sounds in the room gradually subsided, but before the two of them started to take action, the elevator lit up, and a middle-aged woman with a bag appeared on this floor. She had a pair of sharp eyes.
, with one sweep, Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin were standing in the corridor, and they were instantly aggressive:
"Who are you? What are you doing standing in front of my daughter's door?"
Of course, I looked for opportunities... and settled the case.
The two of them were somewhat embarrassed. At this moment, Cheng Xiang came over from the living room after hearing the sound. He opened his red eyes and looked at his mother in surprise: "Mom, why are you here?"
"You're still talking about why I'm here," the mother immediately turned to her daughter, "Xiao Wei's parents have called me and your dad at home!"
This sentence added fuel to the fire, and Cheng Xiang was instantly ignited: "How old is he this year? He complained to his parents after a quarrel? Stop talking, we won't get married!"
"You kid... stop making trouble, go in and talk." The mother suddenly became anxious and pushed her daughter through the door.
As she said this, she was about to close the door, but Cheng Xiang quickly grabbed Ji Xun's sleeve and dragged Ji Xun in. Ji Xun also reacted quickly, grabbing Huo Ranyin's arm with his backhand, and pulled Huo Ranyin
I was brought in as a piggyback.
With a lasso, all four people entered the house.
Mom looked at Cheng Xiang, then at Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin. She didn't know what she thought of, and her face was green: "Think about it, who are these people? You and them are still here so late, you and them can't be...
"
A wise daughter is better than a mother, and the reverse is also true.
Cheng Xiang collapsed and said: "Mom, are you crazy? When you see a man, you think he is my boyfriend? These are two grown men! Should I have a threesome with them both at the same time?"
"..." It turned out to be this idea.
Rao has always been a mental patient with broad ideas, and Ji Xun failed to keep up with this aunt's thinking. He sighed to himself.
My mother smiled coquettishly: "Why do you say things so unpleasantly? Isn't this my question in vain? Since they have nothing to do with you, let them go out. It's not good for family members to talk privately while outsiders are around."
"I'm afraid that you will force me to jump out of the window later. In order not to cause a tragedy and make you become the murderer of my daughter, I will first find two people to protect me." Cheng Xiang's anger exceeded the threshold and recovered.
He lost his previous coldness and even his tone became more sarcastic, "Mom, if you want to say it, just say it quickly. If you don't tell me, I'm going to bed."
"I know you are in a bad mood, but I won't tell you. I won't tell you." Mom said this, but after just a second, she spoke again, "Think about it, if you and Wei Jun make trouble, Mom won't object.
, but it’s too much to stop getting married. Wei Jun’s family is the same as ours, and he’s a nice person. You’ve always had a good relationship with him before, so how come you’re not getting married? It’s not what your mother said to you, you used to
It's indeed a bit ridiculous and not reserved enough, no wonder Wei Jun muttered in his heart. This kind of thing, you can just act coquettishly and get over it."
"Is this my fault?" Cheng Xiang sneered, "Does Wei Jun not have an ex-girlfriend?"
"Men have ex-girlfriends, which is different from women who have ex-boyfriends. If a man in his thirties has never dated one or two girls, I would worry about whether there is something wrong with him."
"Mom, don't you think your point of view is bizarre?" Cheng Xiang counterattacked quickly, "I am not reserved when talking about my ex-boyfriend, and it is normal for him to talk about his ex-girlfriend. If there is no unreserved girl like me, where would he come from?"
Naturally normal'!"
Mom was also angry: "I am your mother, I can't harm you. If you are reserved, others will love you more. What do you care about those girls who are not reserved? They are just-"
"I'm just a boyfriend, why do you think I'm like a broken shoe?"
"Cheng Xiang, is it interesting for you to talk like this?"
"Why is it boring? Do you think I am useless after I break up with Wei Jun? The look in your eyes at me is dirty! Do you want me to jump off a building like Song Tingfeng to satisfy you!!!"
"You - you, why did you mention Song Tingfeng? What does this have to do with her?"
"It doesn't matter. I tell you that the two people next to you are the police. They are here to investigate Song Tingfeng! What the school said is right, and what you said in the past is also right. I, a master's degree, and this boyfriend, are all
Song Tingfeng was raped, and Baoyan only got it after he jumped off the building, right?!"
Cheng's mother's face turned red.
This kind of private, pros and cons analysis discussed on a young girl's fresh life, if you put it in the middle of the night when the mother and daughter are looking forward to the future, they don't think there is any problem. It is just telling the truth, but if this is put in
In front of two strangers and in front of the police, worldly morality hijacked her brain in an instant, making her feel ashamed and humiliated.
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did mother say such things?" She denied in a panic, not even daring to look at Ji Xun and Huo Ranyin.
"Oh, why didn't you say that you praised me for my poor academic performance and my master's degree, but you dare not admit it? Do you think it's dirty? I feel dirty too, but I'm so dirty in your eyes anyway.
Is it even worse than this?" She turned around suddenly, faced Ji Xun, and sneered almost wildly, "And you, you policemen, this bunch of losers, it took nine years to realize that I might be able to do it.
Perjury, the case has been closed, and you can’t arrest me even if you want to.”
"What are you talking about, what perjury, is this nonsense?" The mother raised her hands angrily and gave her daughter a crisp slap. She struck hard and fast, even Ji Xun and Huo Ran, who were standing aside,
Yin didn't have time to stop her, but when she turned to the police again, she said with an apologetic smile, "Comrade police, don't listen to my daughter's nonsense. She had a fight with her boyfriend tonight and it was too exciting. Whatever she said didn't count...
…”
Ji Xun glanced past his mother and looked at his daughter.
It's 9:30pm now.
It had been less than half an hour since they had just spoken to Cheng Xiang. Half an hour was a short time, but a lot had changed. A glamorous corner of life had been revealed, and the gift box wrapped in silk and satin was filled with mosquitoes and flies.
Corpse.
He thought that in fact, the first strategy in the exhaustive method between Lunch and Huo Ranyin included a possibility, that is, Monai was a rapist and the evidence was forged.
He is a rapist, so he is in jail with a guilty conscience.
Cheng wanted to commit perjury, so she knew about it.
Using forged evidence to convict a real rapist was roughly the plot of the story that Cheng Xiang believed nine years ago.
As for why the evidence was forged——
Ji asked: "Did Song Tingfeng not only take a bath but also wash her underwear after she was raped?"
Cheng Xiang bit her lower lip, ignoring the burning slap marks on her face. Following Ji Xun's words, her mind returned uncontrollably to that night nine years ago.
She opened the door to the dormitory and found that Song Tingfeng's bed was empty. She had soaked all the bedding, clothes and even the mosquito net in the washbasins of the three of them and rubbed them frantically. The floor of the dormitory was wet and full of water.
She and Yu Yu asked her in confusion, "What are you doing? The water is flooding the Jinshan Mountain at night."
Then I saw Song Tingfeng's eyes that were as empty as dead. Her voice was squeezed out of her throat, as dry and hoarse as a person's weakness at the end of the road: "Think about it, Ayu, I'm so dirty."
So dirty...
No matter how much I rub my body or clothes, I can't get them clean.
"That night, she had to go to the bathroom to take a shower every half an hour, and all ten of her fingers were soaked white." Cheng Xiang spoke very softly, as if he was afraid of surprising someone, and the person kept sitting with his hands tightly wrapped around him.
She was on the ground and refused to go back to bed. "She has the best grades and the smartest among us. She discovered that I was deceived by Monai. She said that Monai's class time was strange, and then she went to the school guard to think about it."
I managed to get the school's roster, and we checked one by one, but couldn't find his student status. Just a few days after Monai and I broke up, she was retaliated against."
Cheng Xiang almost sobbed: "She was harmed by me."
Huo Ranyin: "Do you want to compensate her and avenge her?"
"Is this considered revenge?" Cheng Xiang asked excitedly, "Mo Nai raped her! We just let the law do what it was supposed to do! You have never experienced being raped, how do you know to experience such a thing?
The horror, who would think about the evidence at that time! Tingfeng cried and told us the next day that we shouldn’t wash off the clothes. She was already smart enough and calm enough! If it were me, I would only have the time to collapse
It's longer than her, and the things she does in her hot head will only be more outrageous!"
Ji Xun sighed softly.
He thought of his novel, "The Poisonous Fruit", which is based on the fruit of the poisonous tree*.
Even if Monet is really the murderer, is this a happy ending? - The criminal who escaped trial is finally brought to justice. Regardless of whether the procedure is fair or unfair, the result is just.
impossible.
Unjust procedures will only lead to unfair results.
Ji Xun said: "But Song Tingfeng didn't see Mo Nai's appearance."
"She didn't see it, but other classmates did. That wasn't a collusion we made in advance, it was discovered by your police investigation!"
Ji Xun ignored Cheng Xiang's excitement and continued calmly: "Song Tingfeng's testimony included this sentence. She was half asleep and heard the door open and close twice. 'The door opened and closed twice'. You, you guys, just
I have never thought that maybe the person who entered the girls' dormitory that night was not one person, but two people. Monet came in first, and the other person came in later. The person who committed the rape was not Monet, but someone with him.
The person behind Monet?"
"How can this be!"
Cheng Xiang hissed in denial.
"Monai's father is a murderer and his mother is a prostitute. He also lied to me that he was a college student! A murderer's child who is full of lies. If he hadn't raped Song Tingfeng, who else would rape Song Tingfeng?
Wind? It’s him, it’s him!”
Ji Xun looked at Cheng Xiang for a long time, but he remained silent.
The speaker was Huo Ranyin.
"The children of murderers are rapists." Huo Ranyin said calmly, "This view is somewhat similar to your mother's idea that a girl from a good family is reserved and prides herself on not having an ex-boyfriend."
The gift box was broken.
The corpses of flies collapsed all over the ground, but the silk and satin were still bright and shiny, becoming nothing more than a shroud for the flies.
Cheng Xiang gasped for breath. She took a few steps back, suddenly limped and fell onto the sofa.
She leaned on the armrest and looked up at Ji Xun and the two. Her eyes were like two sharp blades, quenched by sharp edges.
Chapter completed!
