Mystery Tracker 3

Chapter 117 Chapter Remembrance

"Li Yixing, Li Yaoyue—so Lee really has a younger sister?" Cheng Jinsong asked Shen Yan on the phone while writing down the two names.

"Yes, but we didn't find their names in the household registration—here we checked Li Jingguo's original files. He didn't go through the formalities for marriage at all, and he didn't register for his two children, so the household registration There is absolutely no information about these three people in the system."

"All three are black households?" Cheng Jinsong frowned, "Could it be that Li Jingguo's wife is an illegal immigrant?"

"This possibility can't be ruled out, so Qin Kai and I plan to investigate again." After Shen Yan finished talking about his findings, he asked, "What about you? What new discoveries have you made?"

"We found a person who may be Lee's accomplice. This person is a habitual offender. He was arrested for robbery before and was released early last year. This person also ran away after kidnapping you that day. We have now issued a wanted report. Ling, he is wanted." Cheng Jinsong said, "Oh, by the way, there is one more thing, we have contacted Tao Tao's wife."

"Really?" Shen Yan was quite surprised.

"Really, it was contacted by a classmate of your brother in the United States. I want to arrange a video meeting with her. I want to see if you have time to chat with her at the same time."

"Okay, you set a time, I'll be online when the time comes."

"She said that she is usually free at night, and according to the time difference, it is our morning. If you are free tomorrow morning, I will make it tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Soon, Cheng Jinsong sent a message, telling Shen Yan to set the time of the video at 10 am the next day.So the next morning, Shen Yan and Qin Kai canceled the visit plan and waited in the guest house to prepare for the online meeting.

At 10:2, Du Xinying entered the meeting room.As soon as she went online, she apologized to Cheng Jinsong and Shen Yan: "I'm sorry for being a little late, today my youngest daughter's band has a concert, it should have ended earlier, but their encore has an extra song, so it's a bit late. "

Like all Chinese who have lived abroad all year round, Du Xinying's Chinese obviously has some foreign accents, and some English words are unconsciously mixed in, but these do not affect communication.And this person has a friendly attitude, it seems that he should be very cooperative in a while.

"It's okay, we also want to thank you for taking the time to video with us so late." Cheng Jinsong said, he first introduced himself and Shen Yan's identities, and then got to the point, "Ms. Du, we contact you today to talk to You know something about your ex-husband Tao Tao."

Although it is estimated that the police should have mentioned the purpose of the police when they contacted before, when Cheng Jinsong said this, Du Xinying's expression still showed some unnaturalness, and she said: "Anderson mentioned it to me that day, but I've been divorced from him for many years and I'm not really sure there's anything I can do to help you guys."

"What we want to know is what happened to him back then." Cheng Jinsong said, "Ms. Du, you and Tao Tao left the country together 20 years ago, right?"

"Yes."

"Why did you go abroad then?"

"Probably because the moon in foreign countries is rounder." Du Xinying smiled self-deprecatingly, "My father and mother are very powerful people, and they have the final say on almost everything I do since I was a child, such as what school to study and what major to study. , What kind of job to find... So my biggest wish at that time was to go to a place far away from my parents. So when I first fell in love, I told my pursuer that I had only one request, and in the future they must take me abroad .”

"Then Tao Tao agreed to your request?"

"Yes. He seemed dissatisfied with his life at the time, so when I said I was going abroad, he told me that he planned to study abroad, but his family probably couldn't provide enough money. I can help with that. He. So we made an agreement before we got married, and we applied to go abroad together after marriage. But we didn’t expect to go abroad as smoothly as we imagined. At first, his application was not approved, and then my parents wanted us to go out after giving birth... …In short, it took more than two years of twists and turns, and it took us more than two years to finally go abroad. After going abroad, I quickly applied for the major I liked, and after I stabilized, the two of us divorced.”

From Du Xinying's words, it can be heard that she and Tao Tao were married by agreement back then, and the two had almost no relationship basis, so it's no wonder she had that expression just now.But after all, she has lived with Tao Tao for two years, and she is also the person who knows the time of Tao Tao's crime best, so Cheng Jinsong continued to guide and said: "Can you tell us about your impression of Tao Tao?"

"He is very smart and hardworking, and his surgical skills should be very good. At least when we got married, his mentor seemed to appreciate him very much. But his family conditions are not very good—his His parents divorced very early, and then his stepmother gave birth to two more children, so his father ignored him. Actually, his family is not that poor, but his parents just don’t give him money, so he has a bad relationship with his parents .In fact, during the years when I was married to him, I only met his parents twice."

"Well, what's his personality like?"

"He has a strong desire to control. He made up many things between the two of us from the wedding to the marriage. If I have any disagreement with him, he will tell me over and over again. In name He was trying to reason with me, but in fact he wanted me to agree with him. But I was a very unyielding character back then, even if I couldn't say no to him, I would argue with him and never compromise easily." Du Xinying recalled, "And Many of his facts are really fuzzy, for example, he would nag me because I didn't arrange the dishes in order after washing, can you imagine? In his request, everything-including dishes, spoons ——It must be neatly arranged according to the type and color, otherwise it will be a mess in his eyes."

"Really?" Cheng Jinsong smiled, "Why does it sound like obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

"He definitely has some OCD." Du Xinying nodded approvingly, "He never used me to fold clothes. I remember that big wardrobes were not popular in China at that time, so the clothes we wore were usually folded and placed in the cabinet or In the suitcase. He has very high requirements for folding clothes. All clothes must be folded neatly with the neckline facing forward and the sleeves behind. Clothes must be placed in order according to different seasons and colors. Even if one piece is taken out, the others must be neatly stacked again, which is absolutely 100% obsessive-compulsive disorder.”

Listening to Du Xinying's words, Cheng Jinsong and Shen Yan exchanged glances - they both thought of the neatly folded organs in the corpse dismemberment case back then.

Maybe because she noticed the change in the expressions of the two, Du Xinying stopped talking, and asked instead: "Two Officers, can you tell me why you are asking about him?"

"There is an old case from that year, which may be related to him." Shen Yan replied.

"The case?!" Du Xinying looked a little surprised, and she asked cautiously, "How serious is the case?"

"We will not disclose the details."

Hearing what Shen Yan said, Du Xinying's eyes flickered, Cheng Jinsong noticed her change, and asked, "Ms. Du, did you think of something?"

Hearing Cheng Jinsong's question, Du Xinying hesitated to speak.Shen Yan hurriedly said: "Ms. Du, just tell us what you think of, no matter how small it is."

Du Xinying hesitated for a while, and seemed to have finally made up her mind. She glanced behind her and confirmed that the environment was safe before she spoke cautiously: "Officer, is the case you are talking about the corpse dismemberment case that happened back then?"

Hearing Du Xinying's question, the expressions of Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong were shocked at the same time.And Du Xinying obviously guessed the answer from the expressions of the two: "It's really that case, isn't it?"

Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong looked at each other, then Shen Yan nodded firmly: "Yes."

When she heard the answer, Du Xinying subconsciously leaned back, her hand was in front of her mouth, and her eyes flickered helplessly. Obviously, the police's answer gave her a big shock.

"Ms. Du," Cheng Jinsong softened his voice and said slowly, "I guess you must have thought of this case for no reason. Do you know anything about what happened back then?"

It took Du Xinying a few minutes to calm down. She said, "Actually... At the beginning, for a moment or two, I also doubted..."

"Why?" Cheng Jinsong still spoke softly, patiently guiding Du Xinying to continue.

"Because he once lied when the police went to question him." Du Xinying said, "I still remember that it was a Friday, when my parents were with us, and then the police suddenly came to the door and asked us both. Where are the people and what are they doing. Before I could answer, he said that both of us were at home that night. Then the police asked to check each room, and we agreed. They looked around and found nothing Just leave... After the police left, I suddenly remembered that he actually came home very late on the night of the 11nd. He was definitely not at home all night as he told the police. I asked him why he lied to the police, and he said he didn’t want to let My parents were worried—because during that time, my relationship with him was very tense. When my parents heard the news, they came to be our lobbyists. Although I thought his statement was a bit strange, I didn't pay much attention to it. But then there were more and more news reports. There was a report that it would take a few days for the murderer to dismember his body. It was very late. When I recalled the matter of him lying to the police before, I became a little suspicious... I knew that he had an old house before he got married-because the police said that this person must need a safe and secluded place for dismemberment, and His old house happened to be on the outskirts of the city—so I sneaked over to take a look when he didn't know, but everything was normal in that house, there was no blood on the ground, everything was normal, I thought it was my own carelessness I don't think about it any more..."

"Where is this house?"

"It's outside the third ring road in the northern part of the city... I remember that it was still a small house with a single family, but the location is very remote..."

Shen Yan quickly wrote down this point, and then asked: "What's the name of that community, do you still have an impression?"

"It seems to be a family building somewhere. I remember it was called the family compound. I really can't remember the exact name."

While Du Xinying was speaking, Shen Hao beside Cheng Jinsong had already started searching on the computer, but judging from his expression, he didn't seem to find this place.Here, Shen Yan continued to ask Du Xinying: "How much do you remember about that time? For example, have you ever seen him contact young women similar to the victim during that time?"

"I don't know who he is outside." Du Xinying replied.After hearing this, Shen Yan frowned slightly: "So he did have an affair outside?"

"There should be." Du Xinying said, seeing Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong's serious expressions, waiting for her to continue, she pursed her lower lip before continuing, "When I first got married with him, I didn't actually think about open marriage. But our personalities were too different, so our relationship soon became very bad. But we couldn’t divorce in order to go abroad, so we almost lived separately. He was either on duty at the unit or returned to himself. house, we only go to my parents’ house on weekends to put on a show. I’ve heard him on the phone with a woman, and I guess it’s his outside woman, but honestly I don’t care too much, after all, the purpose of our marriage is In order to go abroad."

"Then do you still remember when this woman appeared and when she disappeared?" Shen Yan asked.

"I really don't know when it started. Anyway, we started to separate about half a year after we got married, and he started to have such news or phone calls not long after that. I didn't pay much attention to the end time, probably... that is, probably Before and after the case? Because my parents found out about our separation in October of that year, my parents were very angry and asked us to repair the relationship, because he moved back home, and my parents would often visit our house A surprise visit, and then he probably broke up with the woman, because I don't see him texting or calling much."

Shen Yan and Cheng Jinsong looked at each other again—the time when Tao Tao's affair with the woman disappeared was also very close to the time when the victim was killed. It seems that they really found the right person this time.
