Xie Yuan's explanation did not bring any progress to the investigation work of the task force, but instead made the investigation work fall into unprecedented difficulties. Xie Yuan, the only clue in the current case, was broken, making the investigation lose its direction.
It has been almost a month since Xu Feng came to work at Anyong Group. After reading Meng Yuanming's diary that night, he signed a work contract with Anyong Group the next day. His current job is with He Fang, deputy general manager of Anyong Group.
Intern Secretary.
After Su Le came to visit He Fang that day, Xu Feng found Su Le's name card in the trash can and secretly hid it in his underwear pocket.
Today is the weekend, and Xu Feng doesn't go to work. He took the subway early in the morning and came to a talent market at the urban-rural fringe. It is said to be a talent market, but it is actually a large courtyard with several awnings.
There were some odd-job workers gathered in the shed in twos and threes. Most of these people came from nearby rural areas and had no special skills. They could only do some temporary transportation and coolie work.
Xu Feng walked into an awning, and people who were enjoying the shade and smoking in the awning immediately stood up and surrounded him.
"Little brother, what kind of job is it? How many people are needed?" A cigarette smoker asked him, spraying the smoke of inferior tobacco from his mouth into Xu Feng's face.
"I'll go, I'll go, I can do anything." An aunt pulled Xu Feng's arm and said.
The people around him were all asking questions. When Xu Feng saw that he couldn't resist the formation, he quickly waved his hands and said:
"I'm not hiring, I'm not hiring."
"Why are you here to join in the fun if you don't recruit people?" The smoker was the first to turn around and leave.
"Tch!" The aunt threw her arms angrily and left.
Xu Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw everyone leaving. He looked around the yard and saw a man sitting on the ground under a big tree in the corner, so he walked over slowly.
The man under the tree was wearing a straw hat and was resting against the tree trunk with his eyes closed. Seeing Xu Feng approaching, he did not move. He just raised his eyelids and glanced at Xu Feng. Xu Feng saw that this man was not special to him.
Interested, he thought that such a person was just right. So he sat down on the ground against the other side of the tree trunk.
"Brother, are you looking for work too?" The two sat in silence for a while, and then the man in the straw hat asked.
"No." Xu Feng replied.
"Then what are you doing here?"
"I want to borrow a mobile phone and use it."
"Borrow a mobile phone? You don't have a mobile phone, do you?" the man in the straw hat said doubtfully.
"I have it. I want to borrow my cell phone to send a text message."
"Why not use your own?"
"inconvenient."
"Are you trying to send a text message to curse someone?" the man in the straw hat asked.
"no."
"So you want to make a report?" the man in the straw hat asked.
"No, I can show you the content of the text message."
"To whom?" the man in the straw hat asked.
"Just a friend, I will delete it immediately after posting it."
"Will it cause me any trouble?" the man in the straw hat asked.
"If someone comes to you or calls you, just tell the truth."
"How much?" The man in the straw hat turned to look at Xu Feng and said.
"How much do you earn for a day?"
"200."
"I'll give you one day's wages."
"That won't work, at least two days' wages."
"300 is the most."
"400, not a penny less."
"Forget it, I'll ask someone else." After saying this, Xu Feng put his hands on the ground and planned to stand up.
"Hey, just 300 for 300." The man in the straw hat quickly held Xu Feng down, and then took out a worn-out mobile phone from his pocket.
Xu Feng was about to take the phone, but the man in the straw hat retracted his hand and extended his other hand, meaning to pay the money first and then hand over the phone.
Xu Feng took out 300 yuan in cash from his pocket, put it into the hand of the man wearing a straw hat, and took his mobile phone.
Xu Feng quickly edited the content using his mobile phone, then held the mobile phone in front of the man in the straw hat and said:
"Look at the content."
The man in the straw hat glanced and said:
"It doesn't matter, just send it."
Xu Feng pressed the send button. After sending the text message, Xu Feng deleted the sent message and gave the phone to the man in the straw hat. He stood up, patted the dust on his butt and left the talent market.
Su Le was going through the procedures for Xie Yuan to be released on bail pending trial. According to Xie Yuan's explanation, Zhang Pengfei and Deng Ru found Xie Yuan's discarded gloves in the grass by the river, and found Xie Yuan in the shallow water by the river.
fishing gear bag. The task force reported the situation to the Municipal Bureau, and considering the need to obtain Tian Shan’s cooperation in the next step, the Municipal Bureau agreed to grant Xie Yuan bail pending trial.
More than ten days of detention have made Xie Yuan lose weight. His unusually protruding belly has also shrunk significantly, and his unshaven face is full of exhaustion and helplessness.
Tian Shan is not much better. She was already thin and has become haggard. Dark circles are obviously hanging on her face. Her skin is rough and dry. Her hair is neatly combed, but it cannot hide the gray hair.
mixed in it.
Looking at Xie Yuan and Tian Shan hugging each other and crying, Su Le also felt a little sad. What kind of life will this couple and their lovely daughter face in the future? What kind of life did the dead Meng Yuanming bring to this family?
Disaster or happiness?
The door of the detention center slammed shut behind them. Tian Shan held her husband's arm and said to Su Le:
"Thank you, Officer Su."
"You're welcome, this is what I should do. If you need anything after you go back, you can call me at any time. Please also keep Mr. Xie's phone open. We may also ask Mr. Xie to verify some situations."
"Okay, I'll be at your disposal at any time." Xie Yuan nodded slightly and agreed.
The July sun hung slanting in the sky, and the earth began to look like a steamer. Su Le got into his car and quickly started the car and turned on the air conditioner. At this time, his cell phone suddenly rang. Su Le took out his cell phone and saw that it was a
Text messages from unknown numbers:
"Please add qq number 2874****, there are important clues to provide."
Su Le has not used QQ for a long time, and the QQ software is not installed on his mobile phone. After installing the QQ program, he applied to add that number as a friend, and then drove to the Hanfu Police Station.
Xie Yuan and Tian Shan returned home. Xie Yuan took a hot bath, shaved his face and put on clean clothes. Because he had lost weight, he seemed to be more energetic than before being detained.
Xie Yuan was sitting on the sofa. Tian Shan brought a cup of hot tea and placed it on the coffee table in front of Xie Yuan. Xie Yuan stretched out his hand to pull Tian Shan to sit next to him, but Tian Shan suddenly knelt down beside Xie Yuan's legs.
, burst into tears. Xie Yuan didn't say anything. He pulled Tian Shan up and sat beside him, letting her lie on his lap and cry. Xie Yuan stroked Tian Shan's dry and gray hair, and tears fell from his sunken eyes.
"Xie Yuan, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you." Tian Shan did not dare to raise her head, she could not face her husband.
"No, Shanshan, I don't blame you. I never blame you. If I want to blame, I blame myself." Xie Yuan leaned down and hugged Tian Shan's body.
"Blame me, blame me, I betrayed you." Tian Shan raised her head and hugged Xie Yuan.
"No, Shanshan, I want to apologize to you. I deceived you." Xie Yuan plopped down and knelt down in front of Tian Shan.
Tian Shan was stunned by Xie Yuan's actions. She looked at Xie Yuan with tears on his face and didn't know what to do.
"Shanshan, I'm sorry, I hid something from you, please forgive me." Xie Yuan grabbed Tian Shan's hand and put it in front of his face, trying to block his shameful heart.
"I am the one who should beg for forgiveness." Tian Shan looked at Xie Yuan who was kneeling on the ground bitterly, and tried to pull him up, but she couldn't.
"I..." Xie Yuan suddenly raised his head and looked into Tian Shan's dull eyes. Then he lowered his head and cried:
"I am sterile."
Hearing Xie Yuan's words, Tian Shan's heart shrank suddenly. She seemed unable to understand what Xie Yuan was saying at once, and stared blankly at Xie Yuan without saying anything.
"I can't have children. I knew I couldn't have children before I got married, but I didn't tell you." Xie Yuan finally plucked up the courage to raise his head and look at Tian Shan and said.
"You, you knew Yaoyao from the beginning, didn't you..." Tian Shan gradually clarified her thoughts and discovered the meaning of Xie Yuan's secret.
"I hated you at first, but I have never hated Yaoyao. When I saw her for the first time, my heart melted. Since then, I have never hated you again. I hate me.
I hate that I can't let you be a normal father." Xie Yuan watched Tian Shan finish speaking, then lowered his head and buried his face in Tian Shan's palm.
"You really don't hate me?" Tian Shan held up Xie Yuan's face, as if a dying person had finally grasped a life-saving straw.
"Yes." Xie Yuan nodded desperately with his face in Tian Shan's hands.
"But why did you kill him?" Tian Shan let go of the hand holding Xie Yuan's face and turned to cover her own face.
"I didn't kill anyone, Shanshan, I really didn't kill anyone." Xie Yuan hugged Tian Shan's arm and shook her.
"You really didn't kill anyone?" Tian Shan let go of her face and turned to hold Xie Yuan's face.
"No, really not." Xie Yuan shook his head desperately with his face in Tian Shan's hands.
After hearing this, Tian Shan slipped down from the sofa, knelt face to face with Xie Yuan, and hugged Xie Yuan's body tightly. Xie Yuan hugged Tian Shan tightly, and the two of them knelt like this for an unknown length of time.
"Ah!" Tian Shan's body suddenly convulsed. Xie Yuan quickly carried his wife to the sofa and sat down, and asked with concern:
"What’s wrong with you?"
"If you didn't kill him, then they must have killed him." Tian Shan looked at Xie Yuan and said with panic on her face.
"Who?" Xie Yuan asked in confusion.
"An Yong person."
"An Yong's people?"
"Yes, I need to tell the police this news as soon as possible so that your suspicion can be cleared."
"Okay, I'll call Su Le right now." Xie Yuan took out a few napkins, wiped the tears on his wife's face first, then wiped his own cheek dry, and dialed Su Le's number.
