murder scene 2

Chapter 56 Investigating Jiang Shu

Long Jie then brought the topic back and asked Dabao's mother: "Do you have many relatives in your family?"

Dabao’s mother: “We have been natives of S City for generations. There must be dozens of relatives here! I have many brothers and sisters and Dabao’s father’s brothers and sisters...”

"Oh, yes! Did you go out to watch your relatives' children perform on the night of June 6st? You have so many relatives, right? There will be more in the next generation, right?"

"Yes, I don't recognize most of my relatives' children, but that night it was Dabao's second uncle's granddaughter who performed drums on a program reported by Dragon TV and gave our family three tickets, haha, That night there were more than 20 relatives in our family alone!"

"Why didn't Dabao go? Didn't he give you three tickets? Shouldn't he be worried if you old couple go out at night?"

"Oh, by the way, he seemed to be unwell that day, and said he wanted to stay at home to surf the Internet and watch TV. When we came back, he had already fallen asleep."

"What time will you be back? Does he usually go to bed so early?"

"It was about ten o'clock when I came back, right? I can't remember clearly. Dabao has the habit of going to bed early and getting up early. He usually goes to bed around ten o'clock."

"Dabao is sleeping in the attic. He must be very quiet alone... Did you give him some medicine or something when you came back?"

"Oh, Dabao is a doctor himself, so he still needs us! When we came back, we saw that the light in his attic was dark, so we were on tiptoe, fearing to disturb him - the next day was Monday, and Dabao had to study early."

"Oh, your home is not close to the Medical University. It takes nearly two hours, right? Dabao seems to get up very early!"

"Yes, Dabao has to get up at around five o'clock in the morning every Monday! He leaves quietly when we get up. He waits until he gets to school before calling us. This kid saves the most trouble!"

Long Jie and Niu Niu looked at each other, and Niu Niu asked: "Oh, that Monday - June 6nd, he also left early in the morning, right? Is he feeling better?"

Dabao's mother said a little annoyed: "Well, I knew he was not feeling well and wanted to get him up early to cook some breakfast, but who knew he left very early that day. When I got up around five o'clock, he had already left. Yes! Well, I complained to him a lot when he called in the morning! He said that he was feeling better and came to school early to review his homework, so that I wouldn’t worry about it! "

Long Jie smiled: "What a hardworking and considerate boy!"

Dabao's mother was very proud when she saw people praising her son: "That's right!"

After Long Jie and Niu Niu came out of Dabao's house, they received a call from Qing Yang. Qing Yang seemed to be in a low mood: "Boss, my clue is broken."

"Oh? What do you say?"

"I went to investigate Li Fengming's whereabouts on the night of June 6st, and he had sufficient alibi. There are surveillance videos in the lobby of the Kochi Building where he lived. I just went to check the video data and found that after he came back at 1:9 that night, He has never gone out again. His wife confirmed that he was a little drunk when he came back, so she gave him two hangover pills and he slept in the bedroom all night. Boss, I wonder how Liu Liyuan is investigating Qian Qianqian? I'm afraid that this case will go unsolved."

"Don't worry, Niu Niu and I are making good progress with the clues, and maybe the answer to the mystery will be revealed soon. I have to rush to another place now, and I'll tell you when we get back to the police station!"

Long Jie hung up the phone and Niu Niu asked: "Where are we going now? Are we looking for Jiang Shu?"

"Well, you call the household registration department of the police station and ask them to check the address of Jiang Shu's home. Let's go visit her home first."

----------------------------------------------------------------------

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Jiang Shu's home is in a newly developed residential area in the western suburbs. Jiang Shu's father is the head of a medium-sized department in the district government and usually socializes a lot. His mother is sick and stays at home, tending flowers and plants.

When Long Jie and the others rang the doorbell, Jiang Shu's mother had just come back from shopping for groceries. She was surprised: "But you need to check your household registration?"

Long Jie rolled along the slope: "Yes, we are doing a census and have selected several points for in-depth investigation. Director Jiang's house is one of them."

Jiang Shu's mother smiled and complained: "Lao Jiang is like this. He is the most enthusiastic about any activity. I think it was him who asked for it this time, right?"

Long Jie smiled: "Yes, Director Jiang is very supportive of our work!"

Jiang Shu's mother let them into the room, made tea and gave up her seat, very enthusiastically.

Niu Niu looked at the spacious three-bedroom and two-living room of the Jiang family. The furniture was fashionable and exquisite. There were large clusters of lilies in crystal vases. The snow-white gauze curtains were fluttering in the wind. There was a piano in the living room with a sheet of music on it. Half done.

Niu Niu pointed at the piano and said, "Auntie, is this your hobby? Haha, you are really versatile!"

Jiang Shu's mother laughed: "It's not mine! It's my daughter's. The little girl's playing the piano is just for fun, and the old woman's playing is just for mischief!"

Both Long Jie and Niu Niu laughed: "Auntie is really interesting!"

Long Jie asked several questions such as the family's demographic structure, cultural structure, and occupational structure. Jiang Shu's mother answered each one seriously.

Long Jie expressed his strangeness about Jiang Shu's situation: "Your daughter is working as a cashier now? It's not difficult for Director Jiang to find a better job for her daughter. Why do you let your daughter do such a hard job?"

Jiang Shu's mother patted her leg: "This old Jiang is very kind to everyone, even to his only daughter. He always says that young people have to endure more hardships and struggle more to be self-reliant, and relying on me is not enough! Hey, my daughter is taking the vocational exam. After graduating from school, there was an opportunity to do administrative work in a star-rated hotel. It was introduced by one of her father's subordinates. Lao Jiang thought about it for a while and gave up. He said that young people have the ability themselves, so why don't they have the opportunity!"

Long Jie and Niu Niu hurriedly praised Director Jiang's foresight and fairness to Jiang Shu's mother. Seeing the two young men joining in the fun, Jiang's mother became even more gushing.

――――――――――PS dividing line―――――――――

Good Monday!What a sunny day!

The guy with a small code number of 7 has severe frozen shoulder and can't even lift his arms. However, he can barely type on the keyboard. It depends on the situation. I'll try not to ask for leave for the elders!
I wish everyone a good mood and good health!
