On Wednesday morning, Qu Mingcong met the new nanny first.
The other party's surname was Deng. She was an aunt in her forties. She was from the north. She was strong and straightforward in conversation. Qu Mingcong was very satisfied. The next step was to see if his mother could adapt to the new nanny.
He signed a one-month trial with the new nanny, then asked Wang Wei to borrow a car and drove to the hospital to pick up Qu Wan.
Qiao Yueying knew that when he went to pick up people this time, he would stop by to visit Qiao Yueying who was in a coma, so she complained nonchalantly along the way and was very unhappy.
"Yes, I admit that I said I was Qiao Yueying at the beginning. I was hasty and not rigorous enough. But you are also a mature adult. You can't believe everything I say. You know that I have lost my memory.
A person who has no memory, don't you have a little doubt?...Maybe I am an artificial intelligence? Maybe I am a product of alien technology? Qu Mingcong, you doubt me, why do you admit it?
Okay, I'm Qiao Yueying? You don't even know her! Don't you feel embarrassed to go and visit her like this? What if you suddenly wake her up and stare at her, how should you say hello? What do you think?
Think about that scene..."
Qu Mingcong turned down the volume on his mobile phone and concentrated on driving.
Two police cars were approaching.
He couldn't help but take a second look.
The direction of the police car was heading towards the Glass River. Shao Jiaming's case had just been solved recently, so he was inevitably a little concerned.
Qiao Yueying also saw it, "Wow... I'll go search and find out what happened."
Qu Mingcong was slightly stunned, "Can this be found out?"
"Perhaps it can be done. Nowadays, people never leave their mobile phones. Whenever there is any disturbance, they like to take videos and post them online. When I browse videos, I only need to select 'nearby'. If I'm lucky, the information will come in much faster than reporters."
After she finished speaking, she lost her voice. She probably went to search for information.
Qu Mingcong continued driving towards the hospital, thinking that he might be able to make some changes to the software of these short videos.
The car drove to an intersection, and while waiting for a red light, he asked: "Have you been found?"
Qiao Yueying said: "Why don't we wait until we get to the hospital to talk about it? I'm afraid I'll scare you and affect your driving."
Qu Mingcong laughed and said, "Okay, don't rattle your appetite, just tell me quickly."
Qiao Yueying said nothing.
The red light at the intersection turned green, and Qu Mingcong drove back on the road. At this time, Qiao Yueying said in a tangled tone: "Over there at the Glass River... someone committed suicide by jumping into the river, it seems to be Qin Lu."
"What?" Qu Mingcong was shocked and braked suddenly!
He braked too hard and almost hit the car behind him. The driver cursed and honked the horn angrily.
Qu Mingcong ignored the explanation, turned the steering wheel, parked the car on the side of the road, and asked Qiao Yueying: "What's going on?"
"I said Qin Lu seemed to have committed suicide." Qiao Yueying curled her lips, "I said I would wait until I got to the hospital before I told you. Look, it will affect your driving."
"How could she commit suicide?" Qu Mingcong frowned and picked up his phone, "Pull up the video and show me."
"oh."
The phone screen switched to the video interface, and you could see a crowd of people gathered around the bridge. There was no body. The crowd gathered around a white car. In front of the bridge railing not far away, a pair of high heels and a mobile phone were neatly placed.
Qu Mingcong didn't understand it at first, but after clicking into the comment area, he realized why Qiao Yueying said it was Qin Lu.
[Bingmi Taoshui: This car belongs to my classmate! Her name is Qin Lu! She didn’t come to class this morning. Now our whole class is worried that something happened to her. We are trying to contact her family. Please help us find it together.
!Please everyone!]
[I am 8870: Alas, although I hope nothing happened to the classmates upstairs, the situation is not good now, my condolences...]
[Little sister from the Ha family: Don’t give up upstairs, the police have been called, and the body hasn’t been found yet. Maybe your classmate is still alive.]
[Ice peach water: Woo woo woo, thank you everyone! 】
…
Qu Mingcong frowned and watched the video and didn't speak for a long time.
He recognized the scene in the video. It was a bridge located upstream of the Glass River, called Kangcheng Bridge. It was quite old.
Recently, the Glass River has entered the dry season, and the water flow has slowed down. If you committed suicide by jumping from the bridge here in the morning, the body should still be nearby. No body was found. The most likely reason is that the jump from the bridge occurred in the early morning, or last night, the body was soaked for several hours
Then it floated up and drifted further.
But why did Qin Lu commit suicide for no reason?
...No, it can’t be said that there is no reason. If you want to find a reason, you will always find a few. For example, her boyfriend has an incurable disease, or she discovered her boyfriend’s true identity, or she may even have discovered that she also has rabies.
So he chose to commit suicide out of despair.
"She seems to have just turned 20."
Qu Mingcong couldn't understand this behavior of giving up his life so easily. He sighed in his heart and started the car again.
Qiao Yueying asked him: "Have your mood calmed down?"
Qu Mingcong said: "My mood has always been very stable."
"Then if I discuss the murder case with you now, it won't interfere with your driving?" Qiao Yueying asked again.
Qu Mingcong was silent, staring at the road ahead. His hands holding the steering wheel tightened subconsciously, "...Murder case? Do you think Qin Lu did not commit suicide?"
"I didn't see the body, so it's hard to say. Anyway, it doesn't look like it at the moment." Qiao Yueying said bluntly, "The shoes and mobile phones are placed beside the bridge railing, so neatly."
"If it's just neat... it shouldn't be a suspect, right?" Qu Mingcong asked tentatively, "Some people will make some ritualistic actions when committing suicide. Have you found any other suspects?"
"It's a mobile phone. Why is the mobile phone placed directly on the ground?" Qiao Yueying said, "The mobile phone should be placed in the bag. Why don't you see the bag? Did she jump into the river with the bag? She even took off her shoes, how could she
Bring your bag?"
Qu Mingcong found this reason unconvincing, "Is it possible that she didn't bring a bag?"
Qiao Yueying curled her lips and spread her hands, "It depends on whether the clothes she wore last night had pockets. Anyway, I tend to think she brought a bag, because every time we met before, she carried different styles of bags, which shows that she has
The habit of carrying a bag when going out.”
Qu Mingcong recalled the white car in the video, "Maybe it was in the car and not taken out?"
"That's even more strange. Since you can put your bag in the car, why not put your phone in the car too?" Qiao Yueying said and shook her head, "The logic doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense. Isn't Qin Lu afraid that her phone will be stolen?"
Was it picked up by a homeless person passing by in the middle of the night? It seems to me more like someone took her mobile phone and deliberately placed it on the bridge with her shoes to create the illusion of suicide."
Qu Mingcong had to admit that what Qiao Yueying said made some sense, but there should always be a motive for murder. He couldn't think of anyone who would hate an ordinary female college student.
"If it's a murder case, it should be handed over to Xu Chenjie's people. I'll ask him about it then." Qu Mingcong looked ahead and sighed, murmuring in a low voice, "I hope Qin Lu is okay."
