Finally, he made a comeback and felt comfortable all over. Duan Mo took the initiative to sit back in the passenger seat, with the corners of his lips raised the whole way.
Arriving downstairs at Shang Fanping's house, at 12:35, Lu Wuchuan parked his car next to a flower bed not far from the unit door.
After a while, two children, one older and one younger, came out. The elder brother held the younger sister's hand and said something as they walked. The little girl looked a little aggrieved, but she still nodded frequently and looked very well-behaved.
Lu Wuchuan contacted Secretary Chen of the community. After a while, Secretary Chen hurried over and took them to the second floor.
After knocking on the door a few times, a woman's voice came from inside, asking who it was.
Secretary Chen cleared his throat, signed in his number, and the door opened immediately.
The woman in the room is in her forties, thin, with a bad complexion, some yellowing, sharp cheekbones, and obvious chloasma on them. Her eyebrows are shallow and thin, the corners of her eyes with crow's feet are slightly raised, and her lips are slightly raised.
Very thin.
As the saying goes, "A woman with high cheekbones can kill her husband without a knife." Although it is superstitious, it really gives people a feeling of being mean and mean.
"Xiang Xiu, this is a comrade from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, here to learn something about the situation with you."
"I'm just a housewife. I don't know anything, and there's nothing to understand." Li Xiangxiu opened his mouth, and it was indeed worthy of her face.
Secretary Chen's face darkened: "As long as you are a Chinese citizen, you are obliged to cooperate with the investigation of the public security organs, and housewives are no exception."
"Okay, you can ask." Li Xiangxiu leaned against the doorframe and blocked the doorway firmly.
Lu Wuchuan looked at her condescendingly: "If you don't mind everyone knowing, it doesn't matter to us."
Although the words were not clearly stated, the coldness was very obvious. Li Xiangxiu was slightly stunned for two or three seconds, and then let the person into the room.
Although the decoration style of the house with three bedrooms and two living rooms is a bit old, it can be seen that a lot of thought was put into it.
Li Xiangxiu had no intention of entertaining guests. He sat down on the single sofa first. After the three of them were seated, he said directly: "Ask if you have anything to say. I have something to do in the afternoon."
Lu Wuchuan put his hand on the armrest of the sofa and raised his chin slightly: "Is Shang Fanping your husband?"
"Yes," Li Xiangxiu said with a hint of sarcasm, "But he hasn't been back for a long time. Even if he committed something, go find him and don't ask me."
"Xiang Xiu, don't talk like a gun." Secretary Chen was very dissatisfied with her attitude. "You haven't divorced yet. Why can't I ask you?"
"We have been separated for more than half a year, which is almost the same as divorce." Li Xiangxiu retorted.
Lu Wuchuan shook his head: "As long as you don't get the divorce certificate or the court's judgment for one day, your marriage will still exist."
Li Xiangxiu immediately glared: "Don't think I don't understand. It's been shown on TV that he owes money to others. As long as I don't know about it, I don't have to repay the debt with him. So, even if there is an IOU written by him, I will pay it off with him."
I don’t have a dime to do with it.”
"I forgot to tell you that we are from the criminal police team of the city bureau and are only responsible for criminal cases. We are not responsible for who owes money to whom. There is a case now that requires his cooperation in the investigation."
"Wha... what is a criminal case? He is quite timid. He would not dare to commit murder, arson, robbery or anything like that."
Li Xiangxiu originally thought that Shang Fanping owed money outside, so the police came to his door. He even wondered whether he deliberately borrowed money from others in order to occupy more of the family's property.
She had already planned that she would not admit any debts no matter what, but when she heard that it was a criminal case, she felt frightened and her face looked a little flustered.
"It's not convenient to disclose the specific situation to you now, but only by finding him can he have a chance to get rid of suspicion, otherwise... it will be very detrimental to him."
It can be seen that Li Xiangxiu is not completely emotionless towards Shang Fanping. It is precisely because of this that Lu Wuchuan's words are ambiguous, but it also makes people feel that if Shang Fanping does not show up, the consequences will be disastrous.
The Sichuan pattern between Li Xiangxiu's eyebrows deepened: "It's not that I didn't tell him, it's that I really don't know where he is."
"When was the last time you saw him?" Lu Wuchuan asked.
"On the afternoon of National Day, he came back and said he wanted to see the children, but left without eating dinner."
"We haven't contacted each other since?"
"No...no."
Lu Wuchuan's eyes were deep: "Li Xiangxiu, what is involved now is a criminal case. If you fail to report the knowledge, it will affect the solution of the case and you will be held criminally responsible. It is unknown what Shang Fanping will do in the future. If you have any problems again, then..."
He paused and then continued: "No one will care about the child. Your son will take the college entrance examination in a year and a half. Now is a critical period. Don't let your son's future be affected by your slightest thought!"
Secretary Chen re-introduced Li Xiangxiu before going upstairs, saying that although she was mean to others, she devoted her heart and soul to her two children. Especially her eldest son, who was about to take the college entrance examination, and that was her whole hope.
Because of this, Li Xiangxiu's expression relaxed after Lu Wuchuan turned the topic to the children.
After thinking for a moment, she said: "After the National Day, he called home and said that he was far away and would not be back in the short term. If I figured it out, I would go to the court to file for divorce. He said that he had inquired, and if
If one party's whereabouts are unknown, the court will publish an announcement in the newspaper. If he sees it, he will come back if he can. If he cannot come back, the court will make a default judgment in six months. By then, the children and all the family's property will naturally be transferred to me.
In my name, we will have nothing to do with each other from now on."
Duan Mo secretly sighed in his heart, and took it seriously if he had only half-understanding. If divorce was really that easy, the divorce rate would have to rise by a few points.
Secretary Chen obviously knew that this was not the case. He and Duan Mo looked at Lu Wuchuan and heard him ask: "Have you sued?"
Li Xiangxiu shook his head: "I was not willing to divorce in the first place. Besides... I have no plans to find another family. From now on, I will just live with my two children. Divorce and not divorce are not the same thing."
"It's different now," Lu Wuchuan said, "Well, if you get in touch with him, you can persuade him and let him come back. Sooner or later, you have to face what you have to face. Escape is not an option after all."
Li Xiangxiu groaned for a long time. She knew that Lu Wuchuan would not tell her what Shang Fanping had committed, so she placed her hope on Secretary Chen: "Secretary Chen, what on earth did Lao Shang commit?"
Secretary Chen sighed: "Xiang Xiu, don't ask what you shouldn't ask. Get Lao Shang back as soon as possible. If you two can continue to live a better life, don't be so entangled if you can't. Xiaozhi is not a young child either.
Now, you all know what you need to know, and he won’t blame you. On the contrary, what you are doing now will make him even more worried."
