Yuan Yixin is indeed a busy person. After Su Le took out the name of Mayor Han, Yuan Yixin agreed to take time out to meet Su Le and Zhang Pengfei at nine o'clock in the evening. The meeting place was arranged in the coffee shop of a high-end hotel.
Su Le and the others waited for more than half an hour and drank two glasses of boiled water before Yuan Yixin arrived in a drunken state.
"I'm sorry, you two handsome guys, I have a reception task today and I kept you waiting for so long." Yuan Yixin sat opposite Su Le and Zhang Pengfei and waved to the waiter and said:
"Bring me a cup of hot tea to relieve my hangover."
"I'm very sorry to disturb your rest so late." Su Le did not show any displeasure, but said politely.
"Okay, it's not too late. Tell me, what do you want from me?" Yuan Yixin asked Su Le while looking at her phone.
"We came to you to find out about Tian Shan's situation." Su Le first avoided talking about Meng Yuanming.
"Tian Shan, why do you want to know Tian Shan? Has Tian Shan broken the law?" Yuan Yixin asked alertly.
"The case is still in the confidentiality 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 has become less frequent in recent years, but we still meet occasionally."
"Do you know Tian Shan's lover Xie Yuan?"
"Well, I know him. I've met him a few times. He's a nice guy." Yuan Yixin took a sip of the hot tea brought by the waiter.
"What do you think of the relationship between Tian Shan and her husband Xie Yuan?"
"Are you referring to their relationship as husband and wife? I don't see any problems between them. They are quite loving." Yuan Yixin didn't understand why Su Le asked this question.
"Does Tian Shan often mention his husband when he is with you?"
"Of course. Don't women just talk about their husbands and children when they get together?"
"Has Tian Shan ever complained to you about her husband?"
Yuan Yixin took a sip of tea, thought for a while and said:
"I don't remember what Tian Shan complained about."
"Do you and Tian Shan talk about things in college when you are together?" Su Le asked.
"Yes, we were in the same dormitory in college and talked about everything."
"Have you ever talked about Meng Yuanming?" Su Le asked.
"After going around in 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 a simple and kind-hearted person who never offends anyone and will never be involved in anything illegal. You went to see Han Peng and then came to me again, it must be because of Meng Yuanming." Yuan Yixin tilted her head and looked at Su
Happy to say.
"Yes, you are right. Have you seen Meng Yuanming recently?"
"Recently? It depends on how recent you are?" Yuan Yixin pretended.
"When was the last time you saw Meng Yuanming?" Su Le asked again.
"On the evening of April 30, 2004." Yuan Yixin answered decisively.
"You remember it so clearly?"
"Of course I remember it clearly. It was the day before he married that bitch. I scolded him and slapped him in the face!" Yuan Yixin sat up straight and stared.
"Can you tell us a story about what happened that year?" Su Le asked.
Yuan Yixin picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip. Holding the teacup in her hands, she told Su Le and others about her college days.
Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan fell in love when they were sophomores in college, and it was Meng Yuanming who took the initiative to pursue Tian Shan. At that time, Meng Yuanming was a young man, and his family conditions were not very good. His mother died young and his father was a contractor. But the young man
We don't care about these things, what we care about is love. Although Meng Yuanming doesn't like to talk, he is attentive, caring, and writes good love letters. Tian Shan was moved by this, and the two began to fall in love.
The two of them were once the most suitable couple in our minds, and they were also the most envious couple. It would be great if they could continue studying in college and never graduate, so that there would be no troublesome things later.
Speaking of Tian Shan, life is really hard. Both families disagree with a good marriage. Tian Shan’s family conditions are very good. Both parents work in government agencies, so I hope Tian Shan can find a family within the system. Just now
When they graduated, Tian Shan's family disagreed. They were still young at that time, and they had no ideological burden. If they felt that their parents didn't agree, they would just wait. As time goes by, their parents would eventually agree. So the two of them have always maintained a relationship.
relation.
After living like this for three or four years, Tian Shan's family saw that they were getting older and finally showed signs of relenting. Unexpectedly, Meng Yuanming's father also disagreed with the marriage. Meng Yuanming's father later established
The company's business is getting bigger and bigger. His father has a business partner named He. He has a daughter named He Fang. Meng Yuanming's father discussed with the old man named He and insisted that Meng Yuanming and He Fang get married.
.It is said that only when two families are married can the business grow bigger and bigger.
Meng Yuanming, that bastard, must have been smitten by that little bitch named He Fang, and actually agreed to his father. The most unreasonable thing about Meng Yuanming is that he didn't tell Tian Shan until three days before the wedding.
That night Tian Shan slit her wrists at home. If I hadn't arrived in time with Tian Shan's key, Tian Shan's life would have been lost. I stayed in the hospital and waited until Tian Shan was out of danger, then I went to find Meng Yuanming.
.
I hit him and scolded him, but he didn't say a word.
From then on, I never saw Meng Yuanming again. Tian Shan and I never mentioned Meng Yuanming again.
After Yuan Yixin finished telling her story, a table full of napkins was already piled on the dining table.
After listening to Tian Shan's story and waiting for Yuan Yixin's mood to stabilize a bit, Su Le asked:
"Do you know about Meng Yuanming's disappearance?"
"I know something. I heard from my classmates that I couldn'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 went to inquire carefully.
"
"Didn't any of your classmates see Meng Yuanming again later?"
"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, the content of our conversation today must be kept confidential," Su Le said.
"Secret? There is nothing to keep secret about these things." Yuan Yixin said.
"No, I am saying that we are here to ask you about the situation, please keep it confidential."
Su Le reported the situation to the members of the task force. 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 glanced at the seated person.
The members of the task force who said nothing said to Deng Ru:
"What did you gain this afternoon?"
"What we understand is similar to what Su Le just reported. Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan were indeed lovers in college, and there is nothing else to gain." Deng Ru reported.
"After listening to Su Le's report just now, we still can't confirm Xie Yuan's motive for killing. We can't say that Xie Yuan killed Tian Shan because of the relationship he had in college." He Xiaohui said.
"We should go find Tian Shan again and see if we can find out anything 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 will definitely call Tian Shan." Su Le said.
"Even if Xie Yuan does not admit the murder, judging from how he followed 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 has a problem with Tian Shan." He Xiaohui asked.
"If Xie Yuan admitted to knowing about the relationship between Meng Yuanming and Tian Shan, wouldn't that have given him a reason to kill?" Su Le said.
"Is it just for this reason that I don't admit to knowing Meng Yuanming? Are there other reasons?" He Xiaohui said.
"Did Xie Yuan really not kill Meng Yuanming?" Su Le said.
"If Xie Yuan is not the murderer, then who is the murderer?" He Xiaohui asked.
"Judging from the current situation we have, Xie Yuan is the only possibility," Zhang Pengfei said.
"Team He, I'm wondering, is Meng Yuanming selling dumplings on the pedestrian street incognito for more than ten years just for Tian Shan?" Su Le said.
"According to Yuan Yixin, Meng Yuanming should feel sorry for Tian Shan, so he opened a dumpling restaurant here to accompany Tian Shan, which makes sense." He Xiaohui said.
"But don't forget, Meng Yuanming is Meng Anyong's son. He also has a father and wife at home." Deng Ru said.
"So, do you think Meng Yuanming left the family because of Tian Shan?" Ding Yiran said.
"No, if that's the case, why did he marry He Fang in the first place?" Zhang Pengfei said.
"Is it because of family pressure?" Ding Yiran said.
"At first it was just pressure from his father. After getting married, he not only had pressure, but also had the responsibility of being a husband. So, I don't think Meng Yuanming left the family because of Tian Shan." Zhang Pengfei said.
"Okay, everyone, stop arguing. Both Tian Shan and He Fang have to continue to follow up. Let's go 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 bouquets for customers who came to pick up flowers early in the morning, and asked them to sit on the wicker chairs first. She sent the customers away.
Tian Shan took two cups and poured a glass of lemonade for each of them.
"I know why you came to me." Tian Shan said to Su Le and the others looking very candid.
"Oh, then Yuan Yixin must have called you." Su Le said.
"No! We have met. Last night, I went to the cafe after you left." Tian Shan acted very calmly, and it seemed that she must have thought of a countermeasure.
"Have you seen Meng Yuanming after he got married?" Su Le asked.
"No."
"He opens a dumpling restaurant right across from you. Have you never seen him?"
"No, I haven't seen it." Tian Shan said unusually calmly.
"What you say is very unconvincing, you know?"
"That's the fact. 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 returned to normal. She brushed the hair on her forehead with her hand and said:
"Xie Yuan does not need my protection. I believe he did not kill anyone."
"Since you think Xie Yuan is not the murderer of Meng Yuanming, can you provide us with some clues to catch the murderer of 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, so I can't provide any clues."
"Do you love Meng Yuanming?" Su Le suddenly asked this question.
"I..." Tian Shan shook her head, smiled bitterly and said:
"Is it still meaningful to talk about this issue now?"
