Eight Fresh Soup

Chapter 9 Suspect (2)
"She was diagnosed with chronic nephritis a year ago, and now she is resting at home. However, she cannot be Liao Yongli's lover. She loves her husband very much. She is stingy, but she has always been single-minded and responsive to him. As far as I know, just half a year ago, she bought her husband a valuable digital camera, because he likes photography, everyone knows this Hobbies burn money, and of course Rong Xi is the one who pays the bill, and a few years ago, she even rented a hut for him as a darkroom." Moran said in a disapproving tone.

She remembered asking Jiang Rongxi once, what did your husband buy for you?She couldn't answer for a while.And Moran knew that since they met, the man had almost lost everything, and even the money for their wedding and wedding was mostly borne by Jiang Rongxi.As a rational, shrewd, well-informed modern woman, she is willing to live beside such a stingy and selfish man, not because of love or anything else. Therefore, Moran is sure that Jiang Rongxi cannot be Liao Yongli's lover.

"Does she have any shortcomings? Don't just say good things about her."

"Her shortcoming is that she loves her incompetent husband too much. She is not smart at all in this regard."

"According to what you said, they should love each other very much, but they have no children." Gao Jing reminded.

"Nowadays there are many people who get married and don't have children." Moran felt that his point of view was really scum.

This reason obviously immediately convinced Gao Jing.

"Okay, next one." He said.

"Then talk about Yan Shu."

"The one who was incoherent and panicked," he said.

"Yan Shu is indeed very timid. She would be scared out of her wits when encountering small bugs, let alone encountering such a thing." Mo Lan's mind flashed the beautiful and slender figure of Zhao Yanshu. Could Liao Yongli's lover be her? ?Moran wasn't sure.Of course Yan Shu would not take the initiative to find Liao Yongli, but if he went to her instead, would she refuse?
"How old is she?"

"One year older than me, 27." Mo Lan sighed softly. Yan Shu was very clear about what happened to Yan Shu in the past few years. At that time, she said her dream was to open a kindergarten, of course this dream did not come true, but after graduation, she worked in a kindergarten."

"Ever?" He caught on to another word.

"Yeah, actually this job is very suitable for her, but because she had an affair with a student's parent, she had to resign later. Now she works as a secretary in a transportation company. This job was introduced by her relatives. She married the parent of the student a few years ago, and now she is the stepmother of an 8-year-old boy. I don't know how she is doing, I rarely contact her, and she has never called me Phone. I was also surprised when I saw her yesterday."

"Have you met Zhao Yanshu's husband?"

"I only saw him twice, once at a wedding, and the other time on the road. He looked quite honest, at least she never complained about him. Their economic conditions are average, but they are passable. Yan Shu is using They are very frugal in terms of money. They may not love each other very much, but they are the most ordinary couple with a stable and peaceful relationship. Maybe they are the only ones who will grow old forever."

"Not complaining doesn't mean you're really satisfied." He said in his usual mocking tone. "Does she have any shortcomings?"

"Slow response, disorganized, likes to bring a bunch of useless things everywhere, making the place messy, and also likes to imitate others in dressing and shopping, and has no idea." In fact, Yan Shu has many shortcomings, but Moran always had more sympathy for her than disgust, so she didn't want to speak ill of her in front of Gao Jing, so she said, "Let's talk about Dai Rou."

"The one with the wide mouth and small eyes," he said.

She had to admit that Gao Jing's evaluation was very accurate.

"She is the same age as me and works in an advertising company. She is straightforward and generous. She loves reading fashion magazines, shopping for clothes, going to bars and eating Western food at midnight. She spends about five nights a week with her friends. She is a person who has a wide range of friends and a chic life. Her English is very good. Her dream was to marry a foreigner, because she always felt that only a foreigner could really appreciate her exotic appearance. After graduation, she had about ten friends. foreigner boyfriends, including a black man, but none of them succeeded. Her goal now is to win the heart of her boss within a year. Her boss is Swiss, and she has had a crush on him for a long time. So It is impossible for Dai Rou to be Liao Yongli's lover." After such an analysis, Mo Lan felt that his suspicion just now was too outrageous, Dai Rou could not possibly like Liao Yongli.

"What did you just say? She likes western food?"

"Yes." She nodded, and suddenly a flash of light flashed in her mind, and she knew why he asked that.If Dai Rou likes to eat western food, then she is likely to frequent Liao Yongli's restaurant, which means that she and Liao Yongli may have established some kind of secret relationship during this contact.

Just go to that restaurant with her photo and ask the waiter to get the answer right away.Moran thought that if Gao Jing really took their photos to ask, she might be the one who was identified the most times, because she would go to Liao Yongli's restaurant almost every two weeks.So she said: "Even if I often eat at Liao Yongli's restaurant, it doesn't mean there is any special relationship."

"At least it can show that the two are actually connected, not like she said, she only had the opportunity to talk to him when she was with you." Gao Jing said.

So he's already looked for her.

"Is that what she told you?"

"I read her statement. She seemed very innocent. She said that she had not contacted Du Xiaomei and Liao Yongli after graduation. Then she suddenly received an invitation and rushed to the appointment excitedly. Unexpectedly, such a tragedy happened. To her The police officer who gave the statement said she was annoyed, not sad at all," Gao Jing said.

She can't be sad, she has always hated Du Xiaomei, and once hated, she will never change, Moran thought.

"What's the name of that club you formed in college?" Gao Jing asked.

"Culinary club. Zhang Suping was also a member at that time, and the initiator was a classmate of hers. We are all members of this club. Because we are not in the same class or the same grade, there is a slight age gap."

"Since the relationship is so good, why didn't you contact Du Xiaomei after graduation?"

"Actually, Du Xiaomei deliberately didn't contact us." Moran lined up the wrapped wontons one by one, thinking that they were round, fat and really cute. It’s all kinds of things, but it feels like she’s not interested in dating us anymore, so we stopped calling her.”

It's not that Moran doesn't know why Du Xiaomei, who once called her "dear", suddenly gave up dating them.But to be honest, she doesn't care, after all, she and Du Xiaomei are two different kinds of people.

When she found out that her husband was cheating, she would not write threatening letters, nor would she fight to the death with the other party, because doing so, in the words of her mother, would be too disrespectful.All things follow fate, don't force it, my mother has repeatedly warned her, she didn't think it before, but now she thinks it is the most reasonable saying.If she continues to be entangled in that hopeless marriage, I'm afraid she won't see clearly that she doesn't necessarily love that person, and doesn't necessarily need that marriage.But it's a pity that no one has ever told Du Xiaomei this truth, so she thinks that once she has it, she can't lose it.Du Xiaomei has been in love with the handsome Liao Yongli since she was in college. She deliberately avoided them because she was pursuing him at that time. She didn't want their relationship to be affected by it. What a naive idea, he still carried it on his back She socializes with them.

"Tell me about Du Xiaomei, how is she?"

"A pampered rich girl who considers herself a princess." Moran glanced at him and asked, "Do you know what is the most unbearable thing about this kind of person?"

"What is it?"

"I like to show off, and once I open my mouth, I can't stop talking." Moran remembered Du Xiaomei's proud expression when she said "a thousand scars" yesterday.

"That's right." Gao Jing agreed, and then asked, "What did she say yesterday?"

"She said she was pregnant and boasted that even if she had a thousand scars, Liao Yongli would love her forever."

He smiled suddenly, revealing a row of alluring white teeth.

"What are you laughing at?" She glanced back at him.Gao Jing is like this, when he is not smiling, he seems to be the most serious person in the world, but once he smiles, he becomes a sunny boy.

"She's not pregnant." After he said these four words calmly, he immediately added, "The forensic doctor said."

Moran was dumbfounded.

It turned out that she said that on purpose. Could it be that she just wanted to show how unbreakable her love with Liao Yongli is?Maybe it was her words that angered someone present. So, is it true that some of them are Liao Yongli's lover?Who is the one?Moran felt cold sweat on his forehead.

"She really talked too much yesterday." Mo Lan sighed, and couldn't help feeling sorry for Du Xiaomei, "But the murderer is too cruel, even if she wants to kill her, there is no need to cut off her fingers." She thought The wet, steaming finger was horrifying when it was fished out of the soup.

"The fingers are fake, they are very realistic." Gao Jing said with a smile.

"Fake?" She thought she had heard wrong.

But she immediately thought that when the body was found, she hadn't checked Du Xiaomei's fingers, and the police didn't seem to tell them this in particular, maybe the police thought Du Xiaomei had six fingers at first.

"It's plastic, it looks like it was pulled from a doll or something, but the ring is real." Gao Jing seemed to be admiring the surprised expression on her face. Take off the ring from the victim's finger, put it on a false finger, and throw it into the soup."

"But why did the murderer do these unnecessary things? Everyone is dead." Moran felt that his analysis was not credible.

"Maybe it's to satirize Du Xiaomei."

"Do you know what that means?"

"The murder was premeditated." Gao Jing said calmly.

"Yes, at least she has to prepare a fake finger first. This thing is quite difficult to get." Moran couldn't imagine where to get this kind of plastic finger that was about the size of a real finger.At this time, she suddenly thought that the finger on the table yesterday did indeed look several circles fatter than Du Xiaomei's own finger, but at the time she thought it was soaked in soup.

"Which of you do you think is most likely to get this kind of thing? I mean the plastic doll." Gao Jing asked.

Moran thought for a while and replied: "Actually, both Dai Rou and Zhao Yanshu are possible. Dai Rou told me a few days ago that she is currently busy planning advertising copy for an adult toy company, and the other company is likely to provide samples to the advertising company." As for Yan Shu, she likes to buy large dolls, and she likes children, didn't I say that?" Moran felt shuddering as he imagined the gentle and beautiful Zhao Yanshu putting Du Xiaomei's ring on the fake finger.

"Okay, I'll go and investigate. Don't tell anyone about this yet." Gao Jing warned, before unconsciously looking at the wontons on the table.

"Okay. Do you have any questions?" Moran asked, ready to send him away.

He avoided her gaze and stood up reluctantly.

"No more. Then I'll go first." He whispered, and then walked out.

Looking at the disappointed and lonely expression on his face, Moran suddenly felt that her mouth lost control for a moment. In fact, she should not say a word, but she still did.

"You..." As soon as she said a word, he stopped, turned and looked at her expectantly, "Are you going back to the police station?" she asked.

"Not necessarily. There's still a lot to do," he replied.

"You must have a good lunch in the cafeteria, right?" She asked, noticing the disappointment in his eyes, and her heart softened a little.

"I'm not going there," he said.

"Aren't you going there?"

"I have bread in the car. I bought it at the convenience store downstairs from yours."

bread?He actually ate only bread for lunch.And it's not the freshly baked bread from the bakery, but the cold bread sold at the convenience store.After returning from France, she developed a resistance to bread.She estimated that she would not touch bread for half a year.The scene of him sitting in the car eating dry bread appeared in front of her eyes, and she suddenly felt a little unbearable.

"I have something to do in the afternoon, so I may not have time to go back to the game." At this time, he raised his arm pretendingly, looked at the watch on his wrist, smiled at her reluctantly, and said, "Maybe I'm too late, I'll go back to the game first." Let's go. Moran, you were frightened yesterday, take a good rest today."

This last sentence completely defeated her.

"Since you're too late, forget it, I wanted to treat you to our wontons." She smiled reluctantly and said to him with a bit of contempt for herself.

She didn't expect this sentence to make him so happy, he immediately grinned, and the loneliness in his eyes was swept away.

"It's okay, I have time, I just need to tell them." He immediately declared.

"Then how many do you want to eat?" Moran regretted seeing him smile.

"25." He said, pointing to the fattest row on the table, "This row is the best. This is the one you made at the beginning. It has the most stuffing. I have observed it."

It's not bad for you to eat, but you have to choose.Moran gave him a blank look, but carefully put the row of wontons he named on the plate.

When she was serving wontons, he stood by and watched, until he supervised that she had put 25 wontons in the pot, and then returned to the living room with a smile on his face.

"You seem to be eating too fast." While eating wontons, she found him gobbling it up.

"I didn't eat breakfast, I know there are wontons at noon." He said happily.

what? !

Jonah!The name suddenly appeared in Moran's mind.Jonah must be playing tricks, what on earth is she trying to do?Why should I feed my enemies with wontons?Could it be that their surname Gao didn't hurt me enough?She decided to wait for Jonah to come back at night and settle accounts with her.
