Yuan Yixin is indeed a busy person. After Su Le moved out of Mayor Han's name, Yuan Yixin agreed to take time to meet Su Le and Zhang Pengfei at 9 o'clock in the evening. The meeting was in a cafe in a high-end hotel.

Su Le and the others waited for more than half an hour, and after drinking two glasses of boiled water, Yuan Yixin arrived in a drunken state.

"I'm so sorry, two handsome guys, there's a reception task today, so you'll have to wait for a long time." Yuan Yixin sat opposite Su Le and Zhang Pengfei and waved to the waiter and said:

"Give me a cup of hot tea to relieve the wine."

"I'm very sorry, I'm disturbing you to rest so late." Su Le did not show any unhappiness, but said politely.

"It's okay, it's not too late. Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Yuan Yixin asked Su Le while looking at her phone.

"We came to you to find out about Tian Shan's situation." Su Lexian avoided talking about Meng Yuanming.

"Tian Shan, why do you know about Tian Shan? Did Tian Shan break the law?" Yuan Yixin asked alertly.

"The case is still in the confidential stage, and it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being." Su Le said apologetically.

"Okay, what do you want to know?" Yuan Yixin said helplessly.

"Do you and Tian Shan meet often?" Su Le asked.

"It's been relatively rare in recent years, but I still meet occasionally."

"Do you know Tian Shan's lover Xie Yuan?"

"Well, I met you, I met you several times, and it's a good person." Yuan Yixin took a sip of the hot tea brought by the waiter.

"What do you think of Tian Shan and her husband Xie Yuan's relationship?"

"Do you mean their husband-wife relationship? I didn't see any problems between them, they are very loving." Yuan Yixin didn't understand why Su Le asked this question.

"Does Tian Shan often mention his husband when she is with you?"

"Of course, aren't women just talking about husbands and children together?"

"Have Tian Shan complained to you about his husband?"

Yuan Yixin took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said:

"I don't remember what Tian Shan complained about."

"When you and Tian Shan were together, would you talk about college?" Su Le asked.

"Yes, we were in the same dormitory in college and talked about everything."

"Have you talked about Meng Yuanming?" Su Le asked.

"After a big circle, I knew you would ask this." Yuan Yixin raised her head and said with a smile.

"How did you guess that we would ask Meng Yuanming?" Su Le asked.

"Tian Shan is simple and kind, never offends others, and will never get involved in any illegal things. You have gone to Han Peng and then come to me again, for Meng Yuanming." Yuan Yixin tilted her head and looked at Su Le and said.

"Yes, you are right. Have you met Meng Yuanming recently?"

"Recently? It depends on how close you are recently?" Yuan Yixin kept her word.

"When was the last time you met Meng Yuanming?" Su Le asked again.

"On the evening of April 30, 2004." Yuan Yixin answered decisively.

"You remember so clearly?"

"Of course I remember clearly that it was the day before he got married to that bitch. I scolded him and slapped him in the face!" Yuan Yixin sat upright and said with her eyes wide open.

"Can you tell us the story that happened back then?" Su Le asked.

Yuan Yixin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, held the teacup in both hands and told Su Le and the others about their college affairs.

Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan fell in love when they were sophomore year. It was Tian Shan who Meng Yuanming took the initiative to pursue. At that time, Meng Yuanming was a young man and his family was not very good. His mother died early and his father was a contractor. But young people don’t care about these things. What we care about is love. Although Meng Yuanming doesn’t like to talk, he is meticulous and caring about people, and he wrote a good love letter. Tian Shan was moved by this and the two started to fall in love.

They were once the most suitable couple in our minds, and they were also the ones that everyone envied and jealous. How great would it be if they could continue to study in college and never graduate, then there would be no troubles in the future.

To talk about Tian Shan, it was really hard. Both families disagree with a good marriage. Tian Shan’s family has good conditions, and both parents work in government agencies, so I hope Tian Shan can find a family within the system. When they first graduated, the Tian Shan family disagreed. At that time, they were still young and they had no ideological burden. If they felt that their parents did not agree, they would wait. After a long time, their parents would always agree. So the two of them kept in a relationship.

After three or four years of perseverance, Tian Shan's family finally showed signs of letting go as they grew older. But unexpectedly, Meng Yuanming's father also disagreed with the marriage. Meng Yuanming's father later established a company and his business grew bigger and bigger. His father had a business partner with the surname He. He had a daughter named He Fang. Meng Yuanming's father discussed with the old man named He and insisted on marrying Meng Yuanming and He Fang. It was said that only after the two families got married can the business grow bigger and bigger.

Meng Yuanming, the bastard, must have been fascinated by the little bitch named He Fang, and actually agreed to his father. What makes Meng Yuanming the most insignificant is that he didn't tell Tian Shan until the first three days of marriage.

That night, Tian Shan cut her wrist at her home. If I hadn't had Tian Shan's key arrived in time, Tian Shan's life would have been gone long ago. I stayed in the hospital and waited for Tian Shan to escape from danger, so I went to find Meng Yuanming.

I beat him and scolded him, and he didn't say a word.

From then on, I never saw Meng Yuanming again. I never mentioned Meng Yuanming again between Tian Shan and I.

After Yuan Yixin's story was told, there was a table of napkins piled up on the dining table.

After listening to Tian Shan’s story and waiting for Yuan Yixin’s mood to stabilize, Su Le asked:

"Do you know about Meng Yuanming's disappearance?"

"I know a little. I heard from my classmates that I can't contact Meng Yuanming. Someone went to find He Fang, and He Fang said that Meng Yuanming ran away from home. The classmates didn't believe this statement, but no one had inquired carefully."

"Have no one of your classmates met Meng Yuanming again?"

"No, as far as I know, there is no." Yuan Yixin shook her head.

"Okay, thank you very much for providing us with such important information. However, please keep the content of our conversation confidential today," said Su Le.

"Keep confidential? There is nothing to keep these things confidential." Yuan Yixin said.

"No, I mean we are here to find out about the situation from you, please keep it confidential."

"Oh, okay, I get it." Yuan Yixin nodded.

Conference room of the Criminal Police Brigade of Dongcheng Branch.

Su Le reported to the task force members as he learned about it. He Xiaohui walked back and forth in front of the big screen in the conference room. The light from the projector shone on her tired face. He raised his head and looked at the task force members who sat without saying a word, and said to Deng Ru:

"Did you get anything in the afternoon?"

"What we know is similar to what Su Le just reported. Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan are indeed in a lover relationship in college, and there is no other gains." Deng Ru reported.

"After listening to Su Le's report just now, we still cannot confirm Xie Yuan's motive for murder. We can't say that Xie Yuan killed someone because he had a relationship in Tian Shan when he was in college." He Xiaohui said.

"We should go and look for Tian Shan again to see if we can ask something from her." Su Le said.

"I think Yuan Yixin will definitely call Tian Shan tonight." He Xiaohui said.

"Yes, although we told her to keep it secret, she would definitely call Tian Shan." Su Le said.

"Even if Xie Yuan does not admit to the murder, judging from his stalking Meng Yuanming, he must know the relationship between Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan." Zhang Pengfei said.

"In other words, Tian Shan must have maintained contact with Meng Yuanming for a long time." Ding Yiran said.

"Then why does Xie Yuan refuse to admit that he knows Meng Yuanming? He refuses to admit that Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan have problems." He Xiaohui asked.

"If Xie Yuan admitted to knowing the relationship between Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan, wouldn't he have found a reason to kill himself?" Su Le said.

"Didn't you admit that you know Meng Yuanming just for this reason? Is there any other reason?" He Xiaohui said.

"Did Xie Yuan really didn't kill Meng Yuanming?" Su Le said.

"If Xie Yuan was not the murderer, who would be the murderer?" He Xiaohui asked.

"From the current situation we have, Xie Yuan is the only possibility," said Zhang Pengfei.

"Captain He, I'm thinking, did Meng Yuanming sell dumplings on the pedestrian street for more than ten years, just for Tian Shan?" Su Le said.

"According to Yuan Yixin's statement, Meng Yuanming should be sorry for Tian Shan, so he opened a dumpling restaurant to accompany Tian Shan here, which was also a thing of the past." He Xiaohui said.

"But don't forget that Meng Yuanming is Meng Anyong's son, and he has a father and wife at home," said Deng Ru.

"So, do you think Meng Yuanming left his family because of Tian Shan?" Ding Yiran said.

"No, if so, why did he marry He Fang?" said Zhang Pengfei.

"I was forced by family pressure at the beginning?" Ding Yiran said.

"It was just the pressure my father gave him at the beginning. After marriage, there was not only pressure, but also the responsibility of being a husband. So, I don't think Meng Yuanming left the family because of Tian Shan." Zhang Pengfei said.

"Okay, stop fighting, Tian Shan and He Fang will continue to follow up. Let's go to meet Tian Shan tomorrow morning." He Xiaohui said.

The next morning, Su Le and Zhang Pengfei came to Tian Shan's flower shop without saying hello. Tian Shan was packing a bouquet for customers who came to pick up flowers early in the morning, asking them to sit on the rattan chair first. He sent the customers away. Tian Shan took two cups and poured them a glass of lemonade for each of them.

"I know why you came to me." Tian Shan said to Su Le and the others very frankly.

"Oh, that must be Yuan Yixin who called you." Su Le said.

"No! We have met. Last night, I went to that cafe after you left." Tian Shan was very calm, and it seemed that she must have thought of a solution.

"Have you seen Meng Yuanming after he got married?" Su Le asked.

"No."

"He opened a dumpling restaurant opposite you, have you never seen it?"

"No, I haven't seen it before." Tian Shan said very calmly.

"You're not convinced to say this, do you know?"

"This is the truth. I have never met Meng Yuanming."

"You said this to protect Xie Yuan, right?" Su Le asked.

Tian Shan's expression paused for a moment, but then she returned to normal. She tweaked the hair on her forehead with her hand and said:

"Xie Yuan doesn't need my protection, I believe he didn't kill anyone."

"Since you think Xie Yuan is not the murderer who killed Meng Yuanming, can you provide us with some clues and catch the murderer who killed Meng Yuanming?"

After hearing Su Le's words, Tian Shan opened her mouth without making a sound, swallowed and said:

"I haven't seen Meng Yuanming for a long time and can't provide clues."

"Do you love Meng Yuanming?" Su Le suddenly asked this question.

"I..." Tian Shan shook her head, smiled bitterly and said:

"Is this question meaningful?"
