When she heard the police coming to the door, Dai Chunli wiped her tears and got up from the ground.
"coming!"
Dai Chunli put her cell phone on the coffee table and hurriedly walked over to open the door.
The door opened and two policemen stood at the door.
The policewoman standing in front showed Dai Chunli her police officer ID.
"Excuse me, ma'am, we are from the Jinghai City Public Security Bureau and we have something to ask you. If it's convenient, can we come in and chat?"
While speaking, the female police officer put away her police badge and glanced inside the room.
Dai Chunli looked at the chaos in the room and hesitated for two seconds.
Finally, he turned sideways and let the police into the house.
"Is there... a burglar in your house?" After the female police officer entered the house, she stepped on her toes and moved with difficulty.
The house was so messed up that there was no place to set foot.
Dai Chunli smiled awkwardly, "I lost my ID. I was just looking for something."
Dai Chunli poured two glasses of water for the two policemen and placed them on the coffee table.
"Thank you." The female police officer took it politely.
When the female police officer took the cup, her eyes moved sideways and glanced at the "lit mobile phone screen" on the coffee table.
"You are the wife of 4-3 owner Jiang Weisen, Ms. Dai, right?"
The female police officer stared straight at Dai Chunli.
The male police officer next to the female officer was holding a pen and paper and taking notes.
Dai Chunli nodded politely, "I am."
The female police officer smiled and her tone was a bit joking:
"You seem to be in a hurry to contact the weird world. Is there something urgent?"
The female police officer was naturally referring to the chat history on Dai Chunli's mobile phone interface on the coffee table.
Dai Chunli realized this and quickly took back her phone and turned off the screen.
Dai Chunli's voice faltered and she made random remarks.
"Well, it's because...because I'm worried about my girl! Well, my girl Jiang Li is in a strange world."
The female police officer's eyebrows were raised slightly.
She smacked her lips in surprise: "I can't tell that you are quite interested in your stepdaughter.
Very few stepmothers are willing to spend "half their lifespan" just to contact the Ghost Face Organization and help their daughter. "
Dai Chunli was uncomfortable being looked at by the female police officer.
Her mouth was dry, so she picked up her thermos cup on the coffee table and took a shy sip.
After a long while, he rubbed the side of the cup and said with a fake smile:
"Jiang Li, I watched her grow up, so I should treat my daughter well."
The female police officer saw Dai Chunli's nervousness in her eyes.
After looking at it for two seconds, the female police officer looked serious: "Let's talk about something serious."
"Where were you and what did you do from 11 to 12 pm on December 26?" the female police officer asked directly.
Dai Chunli's breath froze for a beat.
What was supposed to come came.
Dai Chunli pursed her lips and thought for a moment.
She responded: "That night, my eyes hurt so much that I took a taxi to Jinghai People's Hospital."
The male policeman sat nearby and recorded the facts truthfully.
The female police officer took out a photo of a little boy, placed it on the coffee table, and continued to ask:
"The boy in the photo, Xu Binbin, whose nickname is 'Xu Xiaobao', is your upstairs neighbor. Have you seen him that night?"
Seeing Xu Xiaobao's photo, Dai Chunli's throat rolled and she picked up her fingers guiltily, "No, I haven't seen it before."
The female police officer raised her eyebrows in surprise, "Really? Xu Xiaobao identified the photo and said he saw you that night."
Dai Chunli's anxious heart suddenly rose to her throat.
"Maybe... maybe I didn't see it clearly at night. It's normal for children to recognize the wrong person..."
Dai Chunli's mind was completely confused and turned into a ball of mush.
The female police officer continued to ask: "Did you go out alone that night? Were you accompanied by any relatives?"
Dai Chunli shook her head, "I went to the hospital alone without anyone accompanying me."
"When you went out, did you hear the sound of a child falling in the stairwell?" the female police officer asked in various ways.
Dai Chunli insisted, "I didn't hear it."
The two policemen questioned each other a few more times, but Dai Chunli was barely able to excuse her.
After seeing off the two policemen, Dai Chunli closed the door and patted her chest, feeling relieved.
As the male police officer climbed up the stairs, he talked to the female officer:
"This Dai Chunli, how should I put it, seems to be very nervous. This is the fourth resident in the community who trembles when she sees us talking."
The light in the female police officer's eyes flashed and she looked at the male police officer, "Then do you think there is something wrong with her?"
The male and female police officers looked at each other and were silent for a few seconds.
"There's something wrong, but I can't tell what's wrong." The male policeman scratched his head.
The female police officer smiled slightly and said, "She has a good memory."
The male policeman thought about the scene just now.
After a few seconds, he remembered something, clapped his hands in excitement, stretched out his index finger and said, "By the way, this is it!"
The female police officer didn't say anything more, just smiled and nodded slightly.
The two of them visited so many residents and asked the same questions many times.
Naturally, they have seen many residents who become nervous when seeing the police.
But this time, Dai Chunli, who was particularly nervous, revealed a huge flaw——
time.
When the female police officer asked what happened between 11 and 12 pm on December 26, Dai Chunli answered too fluently.
December 26th, that was more than a month ago.
Normal people generally recall things that happened three days ago to a certain time period, but everyone may not remember it clearly.
But Dai Chunli answered what happened between 11 and 12 o'clock more than a month ago in just a few seconds.
There is only one possibility——
During that time, Dai Chunli must have experienced something "special."
That incident left a very deep impression on Dai Chunli.
Dai Chunli even rehearsed in her mind what she would need to avoid if someone asked about the scene that day.
This is why the female police officer was in the room just now and asked, "Is anyone accompanying Dai Chunli?"
If there were relatives accompanying her, there might have been some quarrel between her and her relatives, which would become an anchor for Dai Chunli's memory.
As a result, Ms. Dai still has a deep memory of what happened that night.
But Dai Chunli's answer was "Go alone."
Going alone means that the most memorable thing about Dai Chunli comes from the outside world.
That night, neighbor Xu Xiaobao fell down the stairs, bleeding all over the floor.
Could it be Xu Xiaobao who fell down the stairs that caused Dai Chunli to establish a "memory anchor"?
The male policeman said: "I was just thinking that Xu Xiaobao couldn't speak for a few minutes when he was awake, and he never said anything like 'I've seen Dai Chunli'.
You just suddenly said that Xu Xiaobao had identified her, and I wondered if I had remembered it wrong.
Looking at it now, it turns out that you deliberately deceived her. "
The male policeman suddenly realized what had happened, shook his head, and couldn't help but sigh.
"When did you start suspecting her?" the male policeman asked.
The female police officer smiled calmly, "From the time she said, 'For the sake of her daughter Jiang Li, she is willing to pay a high price and give up half of her lifespan.'
Dai Chunli was not good to Jiang Li, and everyone in the neighborhood knew this.
Such a hypocritical woman who tells lies just to maintain her image has too little credibility with me. "
"Then focus on Dai Chunli's movements." the male policeman suggested.
The female police officer nodded, "Okay."
After the police left.
Three messages popped up on Dai Chunli's phone, all from the skull-headed man.
Skull: "Have you thought clearly?"
Skull: "If you agree, we can meet in private and sign a contract."
Skull: "Tomorrow at 10 o'clock in the morning, I will bring a bouquet of black roses to the Leisure Time Cafe on Wangjing Road. See you there."
Dai Chunli glanced at the inheritance letter and thought of her poverty.
Then he looked in the direction where the police left at the door and hesitated.
My future self may be in jail.
Even if Dai Chunli lives a long life, she might spend her whole life in prison.
Instead of living in poverty for the rest of your life, it is better to live a prosperous life for "half a lifetime".
After repeated concerns, Dai Chunli finally made a decision.
She opened the chat box and replied, "Okay."
