Chapter 357 Three or two ebony plums outside the bamboo (29)
"You mean..." Comrade Yao Yaoling heard something wrong, "Her father often beat and scolded her?"

"That's right, her father is an old fried dough stick. He eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles a lot. Whenever he drinks too much or loses too much, he will go home and beat his wife and children."

The two Yaoyaoling comrades looked at each other.

They didn't hear Lao Qing's wife and children mention these things just now.

Thinking about it again, Lao Qing has been missing for so long, life and death are uncertain, and the other party is actually indifferent, thinking about it is extremely frightening!

There really is a problem with this Qing family!

During Qiao Wei's third year of high school, Comrade Yaoyaoling seemed to be entangled with their family, and ran to her house every now and then, asking a few old questions over and over again.

"When was the last time you saw Lao Qing?"

"As I said, last October."

"Who does Lao Qing usually hang out with?"

"I don't know, I don't know, I don't know! He has a lot of wine and meat friends, we can't even name them, and we don't know where he is from."

"Have you heard anything about his recent whereabouts?"

"No. Police officer, you've already asked this question a hundred and eighty times." Qiao Wei put down her pen and stretched her sore wrist from doing the test questions for a long time. "If there are no new problems, I hope you will stop bothering us, otherwise I will consider reporting you for harassing our family."

Failed again.

Out of the corridor, my companion murmured: "Actually, we really shouldn't waste time on this. This is just a small case. There are hundreds of thousands of disappearance cases every year across the country. Maybe it will take a few decades." It's all too common for them to show up alive and kicking themselves."

"Small case?" Comrade Yaoyaoling, who was in charge of this case, scratched his chin. "No, I always feel that something is wrong with this family."

"Something's wrong? I think something's wrong with you, thinking about such a small case every day!"

"You didn't notice that when Li Yan and her son Qing Luojin saw us, they were like a mouse seeing a cat, with flickering eyes and inconsistent speech."

"That's right. On the contrary, it's Qing Qiaowei, a little girl who not only answers fluently, but is not afraid of us at all, and often makes us speechless."

"It's more than a fluent answer? I asked her the same question a few months ago, and she answered every word twice, as if she had memorized it in advance. Tell me, is it abnormal? Maybe it's not at all. What a missing case, but a murder case!"

"Let me tell you, the missing person named Lao Qing has too many enemies. Even if he is really killed, there are hundreds of suspects. We can't waste time investigating each one, right?"

"No, focus on checking Qing Qiaowei and Li Yan."

Comrade Yaoyaoling, who was in charge of the case, took a pen and quickly drew a few timelines in his notebook.

"Old Qing was confirmed missing on the night of October 10 last year."

"At noon that day, a neighbor heard the sound of beating, cursing and throwing things from their house. The eldest daughter of his family cried, 'Dad, that's money for my younger brother's tuition fees', followed by Qing Qiaowei He ran out of the house with a red and swollen face, and Lao Qing’s angry shouting and cursing came from the house, which rang for a whole afternoon, and it didn’t quiet down until evening, when all the neighbors at home heard it.”

"At that time, Qing Luojin stayed in the school cafeteria to eat because of the monthly exam, and Li Yan went out to buy goods, but did not come back."

"After that day, no one saw Lao Qing again."

Lao Qing left home with his daughter's part-time job to save his younger brother's tuition fees, and never heard from him again.

Something seems wrong.

Where is it?

With doubts, the two comrades visited Wu's house.

"October 10th last year... zero o'clock? It's been such a long time, who still remembers so much?" Wu's mother thought for a while, as if she remembered something, she subconsciously glanced at her son.

Comrade Yaoyaoling noticed it sharply.

Indeed, ordinary people would not remember what happened a year ago.

Unless, something that impressed her happened that night.

He asked kindly: "Little Chu, do you remember what you were doing at that time?"

"remember."

Wu Zichu was feeding an eagle in a cage on the balcony, and he replied in a flat tone.

The two comrades were even more strange, "Oh?"

"At that time, I heard Qiao Wei shouting 'remedial tuition fee', and she seemed very emotional, so I called her down with An Cheng and asked her what happened, but she refused to say anything."

"An Cheng?"

"Yes, Master An in the wealthy district opposite, we are classmates."

"It was late at that time, you haven't rested yet?"

"No, Qiao Wei and I work part-time together. She accidentally did something wrong and worked overtime for a while. When we came back, it was already 11:30."

"How is your relationship with Qiao Wei?"

"It's not bad, basically from going to school in the morning to when she finishes her part-time job or comes home from an experiment at night, we've been together."

"Why do you remember so clearly what happened so long ago?"

"Because I was trying to enlighten her all night, I overslept the next day, was late for class, and was hung on the blackboard at the school gate to report criticism." Wu Zichu replied blankly. "That was the first time in my life that I was criticized by the school, and my mother would whisper it in my ear every few days."

"..."

Seems to make sense.

It seems very far-fetched.

Comrade Yaoyaoling really couldn't figure out where the problem was.

He decided to go to the wealthy district opposite to ask that An Cheng for clarification.

Before leaving, Comrade Yaoyaoling suddenly felt something, and finally looked back at Wu Zichu who was standing on the balcony feeding the eagle.

He quietly hid in the darkness, like the most ferocious beast dormant in the depths of the jungle, as if it might jump out at any time and choose someone to devour.

Comrade Yaoyaoling shook his head, and looked again, Wu Zichu was still silent and introverted, patiently holding pieces of dried meat, teasing the eagle in the cage.

"What meat does this bird eat?"

Out of nowhere, Comrade Yaoyaoling asked.

Wu Zichu's lips hooked slightly, and a dimple appeared on his right cheek, "Beef."

With drooping eyes, there was a strange crimson light in his eyes.

……

An Cheng's answer was consistent with Wu Zichu's.

The two conscientious Comrades Yaoyaoling asked everyone, and everything pointed to Wu Zichu's words as being right.

If it is correct, then the suspicion of Qing Qiaowei is basically ruled out.

Because she is very busy, besides attending classes, she usually works part-time and does experiments. She has no time, nor the strength and energy to kill people and dispose of corpses.

——Yes, Yao Yaoling has completely solved this case as a murder case.

At the same time, in the house of the Qing family.

Li Yan coaxed Xiao Luo Jin back to the bedroom, slowly sat on the sofa in the living room, and pointed at a sharp bone-chopping knife on the table.

"Qiao Wei, do you have anything to explain?"
