Original sin

Fu Hong's face was very long, and he received a report early in the morning, saying that a female body was found by the Xiaoche River. The Second Squadron came out to the scene, and the identity of the deceased was soon confirmed. It was Liu Bai's ex-wife Liang Lan.

So Xiao Qiushui handed over the case to No. [-] Squadron. Xiao Qiushui believed that Liang Lan's death might be related to Xie Changqing's case.

Fu Hong's bad mood was not because the Second Squadron handed over the case, but because Xie Changqing's case had not yet been settled, and now a new case came out, which made him, the captain of the First Squadron, feel very incompetent.It's been a few days, and there is still no clue about Xie Changqing's case.

Yesterday Tan Ke told him that he could go to Shen Chen if he was in doubt about the case. He originally wanted to ask Shen Chen to help him make up his mind, but now Shen was suspended. He knew Shen Shen's recent mood It's definitely not beautiful, and secondly, Shen Chen should also take advantage of this time to investigate his father's case.

So Fu Hong didn't bother him.

Now it seems that Shen Shen really has to be called in.

Huang Meng came in front of Fu Hong: "Sister Yu said that Liang Lan died of mechanical suffocation. Judging from the strangle marks on her neck, she should have been strangled to death."

Fu Hong narrowed his eyes: "We have seen the scene, it should be the first crime scene."

Huang Meng nodded: "Sister Yu also said that judging from the bruises on the deceased's body, they should have been formed by the hard rocks by the river, and she also thought this was the scene of the first crime. It's just that Liang Lan's family It's not close to the Xiaoche River, and the time of death was around eleven o'clock in the evening, what did she do at the Xiaoche River in the middle of the night?"

Fu Hong glanced at Huang Meng: "Check her whereabouts last night."

Huang Meng nodded.

Fu Hong left the scene in his car, and made a phone call to Shen Chen in the car.

Shen Chen was also a little surprised when he heard that Liu Bai's ex-wife had died, first Xie Changqing, and now Liu Bai's ex-wife, Shen would not believe that these two cases had nothing to do with each other.

"Old Fu, have you checked before whether there is any special relationship between Xie Changqing and Liang Lan?"

Of course Fu Hong knew what the special relationship Shen Shen was referring to. He really doubted it before. Didn't he and Huang Meng discuss this matter when they left Liang Lan's house?At that time, they also said that they would go to Liu Bai to find out about the situation, but later they were delayed by other things.

Fu Hong said: "Do you suspect that the death of her and Xie Changqing may be related to some kind of relationship between them?"

Shen Shen said: "This is just a possibility, you can take it as a direction of investigation."

"If that's the case, then Liu Bai's suspicion is the biggest!"

"Not necessarily, don't forget, there are many women around Xie Changqing, can you guarantee that none of those women are jealous? Sometimes women who are dazzled by the so-called love are the scariest."

Then the two chatted casually for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Fu Hong called again to ask Huang Meng if the matter over there was over. Huang Meng said it was over, leaving a few people behind to finish the job. Fu Hong drove back to pick him up, and the two went straight to Liu Bai's house.

Liu Bai is practicing Tai Chi in the yard at the moment. Although he is not very old, he has practiced Tai Chi for seven or eight years.

His current wife is very old, seven or eight years younger than him.

"Old Liu, breakfast is ready." His wife Tao Min called from the house.

Liu Bai responded, and then withdrew.

Just as he was about to turn around and enter the house, he heard the doorbell ringing from outside the yard.

He walked over to open the door, and seeing Fu Hong and Huang Meng standing at the door, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "So it's Captain Fu, please come in!"

He was not surprised, because the police would definitely come to him to find out about Xie Changqing's death, but it came later than he expected.

Fu Hong and Huang Meng entered the room, Tao Min was slightly taken aback: "Is there a guest so early?"

Looking at the breakfast on the table, it was obviously for two people.

Liu Bai asked her to make some more, Fu Hong hurriedly waved his hands: "Don't bother, we've already eaten. Who is this?" He looked at Tao Min, and Liu Bai walked up to Tao Min, hugging her shoulder: "She is my wife, Tao Min."

Fu Hong smiled and said, "I didn't expect your wife to be so young."

Liu Bai and Tao Min looked a little embarrassed.

Fu Hong straightened his expression: "Mr. Liu, we are here today to learn something from you. In addition, there is one more thing to tell you."

Seeing that Fu Hong suddenly became serious, Liu Bai felt a little nervous: "What's the matter?"

"Just last night, your ex-wife Ms. Liang Lan was killed. We found her body by the Xiaoche River this morning."

"Ah! How did this happen?" Liu Bai was shocked, and even Tao Min was stunned.

"The police are currently investigating, and I came here today to ask you some information, which may delay your time." Fu Hong said solemnly.

Liu Bai nodded: "I know, I will definitely cooperate with the police's investigation. Although I have divorced her, I still feel very sad to hear the news of her accident. Anyway, after living together for so many years, throwing In love or not, we are actually no different from our own family to a large extent, and she is also the mother of the child."

Liu Bai's words were very affectionate, and he said them in front of Tao Min, which is very rare.

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Tao Min, and Tao Min nodded, expressing that he could understand Liu Bai's feelings, no matter what, if Liu Bai was really a ruthless person, Tao Min would not choose to be with him.

Tao Min asked softly, "Should I avoid it first?"

Huang Meng glanced at Fu Hong, then at Liu Bai: "Mr. Liu, can I have a chat with Ms. Tao alone?"

Liu Bai replied: "Of course."

His expression remained calm.

Huang Meng and Tao Min left the house and went to the courtyard, the door was also closed.

Fu Hong knew very well in his heart that what Huang Meng did was actually asking the two of them alone. Huang Meng probably still had doubts about this Liu Bai. It should be like what Shen Shen said. If there is really any problem between Liang Lan and Xie Changqing, Then Liu Bai really had a motive to kill.

Just imagine, if a normal man knows that his wife is having an affair with his partner, can he really hold his breath?It is impossible for him not to be a little angry, and he will definitely do something.

Many men can bear anything, but they can't bear the green on the top of their heads.

"Mr. Liu, what kind of person is Xie Changqing in your opinion?" Fu Hong asked.

Liu Bai thought for a while, "He's very talented. Among us seniors, the teacher favors him the most. It's just that he's too utilitarian."

"How to say?"

Liu Bai smiled wryly: "What he pursues is not pure art, he thinks more about how art can bring him fame and fortune."

Fu Hong said with a smile: "This does not seem to be a contradiction. In today's society, many things can be quantified economically, and art is the same. A good work of art must not only be appreciative, have ideological connotations, but also be able to withstand the pressure of the market." Tested, nothing wrong."

"But sometimes we can do better and present better works to the public instead of semi-finished products. Take this award-winning work "Mu Yun Ting Tao" as an example. I think if we spend more If it takes some time to polish it, it will definitely be more perfect, and then it will not only win a national award, but may even win an international award."

Fu Hong nodded. Although he knew nothing about art, he admitted that Liu Bai was a person who pursued perfection. He also knew why Xie Changqing was the only one present at the awards ceremony this time. He also heard some rumors about it, because From the very beginning, Liu Bai objected to presenting this work for awards so early, so he didn't even attend the awards ceremony.

"So, as you who pursue artistic perfection, are you angry that he did this?"

"I can't talk about being angry, but I also have my principles. Of course, I have partnered with him for many years, and it is from the same teacher. As his senior brother, I will definitely support him in many cases. Take this time as an example. Well, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be at this press conference."

"By the way, you mentioned the press conference. I would like to ask why Liang Lan made such a fuss at the press conference that day?"

Liu Bai heard that Fu Hong asked about Liang Lan, he sighed: "It's not about money, I did promise to give her a sum of money when we got divorced, and this sum of money is not a small amount, but later my money was a little tight. , so I plan to take it easy, and I mentioned it to her before, and I wrote her an IOU for this. You don’t know, although Xie Changqing and I have collaborated on many works, those works are not It didn't really produce any benefits, but Xie Changqing, he is more capable than me, he recruits students, and does tutoring, he makes money faster, but I don't have this ability."

He said and smiled self-deprecatingly.

In the yard outside the house, Huang Meng and Tao Min sat down on chairs.

"Do you think he is also a student of Mr. Liu?"

"No, I'm a record company manager."

Huang Meng nodded and said, "Ms. Tao is young and beautiful. I think Liang Lan must have been making trouble when you are with Mr. Liu, right?"

Tao Min smiled: "Do you think Lao Liu divorced Liang Lan only after he got to know me?"

"Isn't it?" Huang Meng looked surprised, and Tao Min shook his head: "If you think that, you are wrong. Lao Liu and Liang Lan only met half a year after they divorced. It's just the time we met. We got married not long ago. In the terms of young people today, we can be considered a flash marriage, and it took less than two months from the time we met to get married."

"Well, Ms. Tao, may I take the liberty of asking you another question?"

"Ask, this is your job, there is no presumptuousness." Tao Min is very understanding, Huang Meng can't help but think to himself, no wonder Liu Bai chooses to be with her, such a woman is indeed better than Liang Lan is much stronger.

"I'm curious, why you decided to be with Mr. Liu. As far as I know, Mr. Liu is a perfectionist. It seems that his character is not easy to accommodate."

"He is indeed a perfectionist, but so am I. At least I agree with his attitude in the pursuit of art, and this attitude is understandable in life. How should I put it, I think I am his bosom friend , and for me, he too."

Huang Meng didn't get entangled in this issue. It could be seen that Tao Min was very satisfied with the life with Liu Bai, and judging from her words and deeds, this woman was indeed a person who pursued perfection.

"Where were you and Mr. Liu between ten o'clock and one o'clock last night?" Huang Meng got straight to the point.

Tao Min frowned: "Why, you suspect that we killed Liang Lan?"

This was the first time she had an emotional reaction. Huang Meng hurriedly explained: "Ms. Tao, don't get too excited. Isn't this just a routine interview? This is a procedure we must go through."

"We were both cooped up last night, I was on the couch watching TV and he was revising a demo of a song."

"Really? Then when did you rest?"

"It's about 11:30, and that's when we usually have to go to bed."

"By the way, what do you think of Xie Changqing? Do you have the same opinion as Mr. Liu?"

"Basically, he is not only utilitarian, but also immoral. He has unclear relationships with many women. In short, this person is in a mess."

"Oh? What about Liang Lan, what do you think of this woman?" Huang Meng continued to ask.

Tao Min had a look of embarrassment on her face, and she pursed her lips: "She is Lao Liu's ex-wife, so I shouldn't say anything about her, but since you ask me, I'll just say a few words, she is a person It's too greedy, she is a woman who doesn't know how to be satisfied. And..."

Speaking of which, she seemed to realize something and closed her mouth.

"And what?" Huang Meng definitely wouldn't let her just whet her appetite like this, so he couldn't help asking again.
