After committing a thousand perfect crimes, he joined criminal investigation

Chapter 12 A couple who both lied

Xie Xiaoman had been missing for two days, but as her husband, Xu Cong did nothing.

Now, even though his wife is likely to have been killed, she still hasn't shown up.

This has to make people suspicious.

"Brother-in-law..." Hearing Gao Yi ask about Xu Cong, Xie Xu frowned and thought for a while, then said:

"I heard my sister say it once before. She said that her brother-in-law went on a business trip to the mining area near the lake again. She didn't say anything before leaving. She asked someone to tell my sister."

Linhu, that is, Linhu City next to Huai City, is also surrounded by mountains and has a developed mining industry.

"Do you remember when you said that?"

Gao Yi asked again.

"Hmm..." Xie Xu thought for a while: "On the 12th of this month, my sister was also at my house that day. I remember it very clearly."

"That's two days before the disappearance~" Gao Yi calculated the time and found that it was exactly two days before the disappearance.

In other words, Xu Cong has been on a business trip for four days so far.

Gao Yi quickly sorted out the information in his mind and continued to ask:

"Looking at the situation of your sister's family, it's not a wealthy family. But you said before that your sister is planning to buy a house soon. Do you know the reason?
  Do you have enough savings, or do you have someone to help you? "

"I don't know that."

Xie Xu shook his head.

"Who does your sister usually date?"

……

"What is your impression of Xu Cong?"

……

Next, Gao Yi asked several questions one after another.

To sum up, we can draw the following conclusions:

Xie Xiaoman does not have any mental problems. She works in a textile factory all year round and has a small social circle. However, she often complains about her husband's business trips, especially in the past year.

Xu Cong, a truck driver in the mining area, is a lively person with a good brain. He has a lot of social activities on weekdays, but he is pretty good to his family.

"I'll go outside and talk to my neighbors~"

Inside the room, Chen Leer put away her notebook, said something to Gao Yi, and then left outside.

Gao Yi started investigating in the house~
  The two rooms are very tidy. It can be seen that Xie Xiaoman takes good care of the house.

She is a family woman.

"There are no signs of damage to the front door or the door, and there are no signs of rummaging inside the house. It seems that no one has come in since the incident."

Gao Yi observed and analyzed, and soon came to the back room.

The back room is very simple, with a bed and a dressing table next to the bed against the wall.

There is also a four-way wardrobe and some benches and other miscellaneous items.

Whether it's the bed or the closet, everything is neatly organized.

Gao Yi came to the dressing table and took a quick look. They were all ordinary civilian cosmetics.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Gao Yi noticed that a drawer on the right side of the dressing table was locked on purpose.

This is in sharp contrast to the three drawers above and below.

Gao Yi turned around and glanced at the door, seeing no one coming in.

I saw him put on rubber gloves and walked around the room. When he returned to the dressing table again, he had a thin wire in his hand, and he just inserted it into the keyhole... bang~
  The small lock opened with a sound.

After doing this, Gao Yi calmly opened the drawer and found a notebook inside.

"The notebook is hidden so deep?"

Gao Yi suddenly became interested, picked up the notebook and opened the first page.

[XNUM X Year X NUM X Month X NUM X Day

I finally got off work and my husband hasn’t come back yet, so he probably won’t come.

They said no one is talking and they can write it down, so let’s write it down~]

【December 2006, 12

It’s hard to have no money. Xiaomiao’s clothes are too small and she can only wear other people’s clothes. I hope her husband can get rich soon. 】

……

"It's actually a diary~"

I didn’t expect that such a woman who works in a textile factory would have the habit of writing a diary.

Gao Yi was pleasantly surprised and flipped through the pages.

Before I knew it, the latest day came—— 　　　【June 2007, 6

I don’t know if it was because of the quarrel with Xu Cong a few days ago. He didn’t even make a call during this business trip. Someone else told me!
  Isn't there someone else outside?
  what do I do? 】

"Xu Cong is having an affair?"

Seeing this, Gao Yi couldn't help but frown.

If this is the case, Xu Cong's suspicion will be greatly increased.

Killing his wife for love.

Not impossible.

But, is this really the truth?
  Gao Yi took a photo of the contents of the diary and then put the diary back in the drawer.

"Xie Xu, is there something wrong with your sister and your brother-in-law's relationship?"

After searching the house again and finding no clues, Gao Yi found Xie Xu in the yard and asked.

"Maybe." Xie Xu sighed: "Brother-in-law often works overtime at the mine and often goes to Linhu on business trips. My sister has always complained."

"okay, I get it."

Gao Yi hummed and reminded: "Let's understand these for now. If there are new situations in the future, we will find you again to understand the situation. I hope you can cooperate."

"I will definitely cooperate!" Xie Xu nodded repeatedly.

After saying that, the two of them left the yard. Xie Xu closed the big iron door and left if he had something to do.

At this time, Chen Leer happened to come back.

"Any clues?"

Chen Leer asked with a smile.

"I found a diary written by Xie Xiaoman, and Xie suspected that Xu Cong had cheated on me." Gao Yi shrugged and said what he had discovered.

Then he asked: "Where are you?"

"According to neighbors, Xie Xiaoman is a good woman who takes care of her family and is very optimistic about life, but Xu Cong is often away from home, but is still responsible for his wife and children.

A few days ago, a nearby family heard Xie Xiaoman and Xu Cong arguing loudly. "

Chen Leer briefly explained the inquiry.

The quarrel coincided with the record in the diary. Gao Yi nodded:
  "It seems we have to get to know this missing husband~"

Based on the clues currently available, Xu Cong is undoubtedly the biggest suspect.

after an hour--

Gao Yi and Chen Leer came to the mining area where Xu Cong worked, [Huaishan No. 1 Copper Mine], a large mining area.

Explain your intention to the doorman.

"Xu Cong from the Ministry of Transport~" Hearing that Gao Yi was here to see Xu Cong, the doorman Huang took a puff of his cigarette and squinted his eyes: "I have an impression of this guy. He gives me cigarettes every time he comes in and out."

"But he hasn't come to work for a few days."

"Are you on a business trip?" Chen Leer asked immediately after hearing this.

Uncle Huang shook his head, but then he looked at the door and pointed over: "Minister Zhang from the Ministry of Transport is here, you can ask him."

Following Uncle Huang's guidance, a man in his forties wearing work clothes and a safety helmet walked in outside the guard room.

When he saw Gao Yi and the two men in police uniforms, Zhang Yi paused slightly, then strode in with a smile on his face:
  "Old Huang said that two police officers were looking for me. Did something happen?"

Seeing the man's restraint, Chen Le'er immediately reassured him: "Don't be nervous, we are here this time just to learn something from you."

After speaking, Chen Leer took out her notebook and gave Gao Yi a wink.

"Do you know this person?"

Gao Yi didn't waste any time and took out Xu Cong's photo.

"We know Xu Cong, from our department." Zhang Yi recognized the person in the photo as Xu Cong at a glance, and asked in confusion: "Officer, has Xu Cong committed something?"

"Is he in the mining area now?" Gao Yi did not answer, but continued to ask.

"Not here." Zhang Yi frowned and said doubtfully: "He hasn't come to work for several days. I'm still wondering where he went~"

Didn't come to work?

Gao Yi and Chen Leer looked at each other and asked, "Is it possible that you are on a business trip?"

"Impossible!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi answered with certainty this time: "I am the person in charge of the Ministry of Transportation. I will be the first to know who is sent on a business trip to other places."

Having said this, Zhang Yi paused for a few seconds and spoke again: "On the 12th, Xu Cong didn't come four days ago.

The phone was not connected at that time, so I had to find another driver to help because of my connections! "

"I remember it very clearly." Zhang Yi nodded heavily, stretched his head and asked, "Officer, did that boy Xu Cong commit any crime?"

　Will Xu Cong be the murderer?
