Under the blue sky and white clouds, on the emerald green lawn, a man in white sportswear has a well-proportioned and slender figure, with no trace of time at all.
Xu Mingzhi didn't expect that he could meet Fang Kehui so smoothly. To be more precise, he didn't expect that Fang Kehui would be willing to meet him.
What he thought would be a lot of trouble turned out to be extremely smooth. When Xu Mingzhi was surprised, he couldn't help but feel that this might be a good sign.
"Hello." Fang Kehui walked over with a smile. Xu Mingzhi stretched out his hand and looked at it silently. Fang Kehui looked relaxed and could not see any clues.
After the two sat down, Fang Kehui was the first to speak: "I just had dinner with your Huang Bureau last week. At that time, your Huang Bureau also mentioned you to me. I heard that when you were still in the police academy, you participated in the crackdown of a trafficking case. It’s a big case of population, he’s really young and promising!”
This was ten years ago, when he was just a young man who had just attended the police academy for one year. Xu Mingzhi smiled and said: "I am just lucky, I happened to meet him."
"You are being humble. You were only twenty years old at the time, right?" Fang Kehui seemed to be an elder he hadn't seen for a long time, chatting with him about household matters.
This is the brilliance of Fang Kehui.
He never refused to meet with Xu Mingzhi, but he took the initiative to control the right to speak from the beginning. He got closer to him through Huang Bureau, chatting about his past, and he did not hesitate to praise him, making you still remember your trip for a while. The purpose would be too embarrassed to ruin this friendly atmosphere. However, after a few minutes, he would excuse himself and leave in a hurry.
You can't say that he doesn't cooperate with you, it's just that you didn't seize the opportunity.
But the next time we want to meet, it won't be so easy.
If it were Xu Mingzhi seven years ago, he would be destined to return without success today.
But he is not.
Xu Mingzhi looked at Fang Kehui and said with a smile: "Director Fang, I came to see you today because I want to ask you something."
When Fang Kehui heard this, the smile on his face faded slightly. The male secretary standing next to him immediately stepped forward and wanted to speak, but Fang Kehui raised his hand to stop him. He looked at the secretary and said, "Go and make Officer Xu a cup of coffee."
The secretary understood and immediately backed away.
"What do you want to ask?" Fang Kehui leaned back, gently folded his hands on his lower abdomen, and asked calmly.
Xu Mingzhi took out Jin Jiaojiao's photo, put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Fang Kehui.
"Does Mr. Fang know her?" Xu Mingzhi asked, staring closely at Fang Kehui. Fang Kehui lowered his gaze and landed on the photo. After pausing for a few seconds, he nodded and said, "I have an impression. I must have seen it a few times."
There was no clue on Fang Kehui's face, but his words were very skillful. He did not deny that he had met Jin Jiaojiao, but he used the words "impression" and "should" to show that he was not familiar with Jin Jiaojiao, which immediately distanced the relationship between him and Jin Jiaojiao. .
An old fox is an old fox after all! After Xu Mingzhi secretly cursed, he said: "It seems that Mr. Fang is not very familiar with her. She is dead."
When these words fell, Fang Kehui was obviously stunned. His eyes fell on the photo again. In the photo, Jin Jiaojiao was bright and charming, like a blooming rose, charming and charming.
"What a pity for such a young and beautiful girl!" Fang Kehui looked up with regret and asked Xu Mingzhi: "How did she die?"
Xu Mingzhi replied: "Drown."
Fang Kehui frowned slightly when he heard this: "Suicide?"
Xu Mingzhi looked at Fang Kehui and said, "There is no evidence to conclude that she committed suicide."
The wrinkles between Fang Kehui's eyebrows couldn't help but deepen: "You mean it could be homicide?"
Xu Mingzhi nodded: "This possibility cannot be ruled out." Looking at the flash of thoughtful expression on Fang Kehui's face, Xu Mingzhi then asked: "Mr. Fang, please tell me about your relationship with Jin Jiaojiao." How do we know each other?"
"It must have been someone who brought the female companion to that dinner, I can't remember clearly." Fang Kehui replied.
"Mr. Fang has met Jin Jiaojiao more than once, right? Did he also meet at dinner parties at other times?" Xu Mingzhi asked.
Fang Kehui nodded.
"Does Mr. Fang remember who took her there the other times?" Xu Mingzhi asked again.
Fang Kehui suddenly laughed and said: "Officer Xu, I don't want to lie to you and say that I don't remember. After all, I even remember Jin Jiaojiao. There is no reason why I can't remember the person who took her there. But I can't say , so, I’m sorry.”
Xu Mingzhi was not surprised by the answer. He nodded and said, "I understand. Does Mr. Fang know that Jin Jiaojiao has a boyfriend?"
Fang Kehui was slightly stunned again. Although it was not obvious, Xu Mingzhi still caught it.
"I don't know." Fang Kehui replied, "I'm really not familiar with her."
At this time, Fang Kehui's secretary came over with a cup of coffee. Xu Mingzhi glanced at him and was about to continue asking. Unexpectedly, after the secretary put down his coffee, he came to Fang Kehui's side. It didn't take much but it was enough to make Xu Mingzhi understand. Ming Zhi also heard the voice clearly saying: "Xiao Liu called just now and said that Director Wu is here and wants to see you."
Fang Kehui looked at Xu Mingzhi. Xu Mingzhi was very understanding and immediately said, "If Director Fang has something to do, please do it first." Although it is hard to say whether there is really this Director Wu waiting for him, but after all, Xu Mingzhi just came to see him today. It was a surprise that Fang Kehui was willing to meet him in his personal capacity. Moreover, if a person like Fang Kehui is made ugly from the beginning, Xu Mingzhi will have a headache if he uses any means.
"Okay, then you can sit down for a while. The coffee here tastes good. Try it. If you want to play ball, just tell them my name. I asked the secretary to explain it to them." As he spoke, Fang Kehui had already stood up. .
Xu Mingzhi stood up and said, "Thank you, Director Fang. I haven't played golf yet."
"Then you can learn from it. You Huang Bureau really likes it. When I make an appointment with him later, you will come with me." Fang Kehui said, stretching out his hand to shake hands with him and say goodbye.
Seeing him walking away in a hurry, Xu Mingzhi put away the polite smile on his face and sat down slowly.
The coffee in front of him was fragrant. Xu Mingzhi picked it up and took a sip. It tasted bitter but not astringent, with a special aroma. It was really good.
Although Fang Kehui was very smart in the conversation just now, avoiding the important and taking the easy, and telling the true and the false, Xu Mingzhi was not without gain. At least he was sure of one thing: Fang Kehui did know Jin Jiaojiao, and the relationship between the two should be quite good. . However, judging from Fang Kehui's reaction when he heard about Jin Jiaojiao's death just now, it seems that Fang Kehui did not know that Jin Jiaojiao was dead. In other words, Jin Jiaojiao's death should not have any direct relationship with him.
Of course, it cannot be completely ruled out that this was faked by Fang Kehui.
Xu Mingzhi was sitting on a chair, thinking about this while drinking coffee.
In the private parking lot behind the stadium, Fang Kehui stood next to a black Alfa, smoking a cigarette. A secretary in gray and white sportswear was talking on the phone not far away. After a few words, he hung up the phone and walked back to Fang Kehui. He looked at the man whose whole face was shrouded in smoke, and his face showed a little. He couldn't bear it and said: "Miss Jiaojiao happened on the night of May 1st, and her body was discovered on the morning of May 6th. She is still at the police station. How about..."
"No!" Fang Kehui decisively refused before the secretary could say anything. He threw a third of the cigarette in his hand to the ground. After crushing it hard, he turned around, opened the door and got into the car.
The secretary bent down to pick up the cigarette butts on the ground and threw them into the trash can next to him. Just as he was about to get in the car, Fang Kehui's voice suddenly came from inside the car, saying: "Ask Lao Xu to pick you up and go find Yu Hong. She fixed this matter as soon as possible.”
"Okay." The secretary nodded in agreement.
The people here had just left, and Xu Mingzhi had also finished drinking his coffee. Looking at the undulating grassland under the blue sky and white clouds, Xu Mingzhi still had the urge to try it. However, today is not the right day.
On his way back, Xu Mingzhi met an acquaintance at the gate of the stadium.
"Liu Liu? What a coincidence!" Xu Mingzhi rolled down the window and greeted the young and beautiful girl in a white short skirt standing on the roadside.
Liu Liu raised his eyes and saw this familiar face in the car. He was stunned for a moment before he remembered it. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a coincidence, Officer Xu. Are you here to play ball too?"
"Come to meet someone." Xu Mingzhi said and asked her, "Where are you going? I'll see you off."
Liu Liu waved her hand: "No, I called a car and it will be here soon." As he spoke, a car really came this way.
After Xu Mingzhi took one look, he said: "Okay, I'll go then, bye." After that, he drove away.
As soon as he left, the online taxi hailed by Liu Liu arrived.
After Liuliu got in the car, she went straight to Futian Village in the west of the city.
Futian Village is a village in the city. The buildings in the village are densely packed, and the five- and six-story private buildings are almost wall-to-wall. The narrow alleys were damp and dark, and filled with a complex and unpleasant smell.
The driver parked the car at the bus stop outside Futian Village. Looking at the little girl who was about to get off the bus in the rearview mirror, he couldn't help but ask: "Little girl, what are you doing here? It's very messy here." .”
Liu Liu smiled awkwardly and said, "I came to see a friend." After saying that, she didn't want to talk to the driver anymore and got out of the car in a hurry.
At this time, it was close to noon, and the small restaurants outside the urban village were already full of people. As soon as Liu Liu appeared in a white sports dress, she was like a drop of water falling into a frying pan, instantly attracting the attention of everyone around her.
Her dress, her aura, and her timid eyes, everything was incompatible with this place.
Someone whistled, frivolously and greasyly.
Liu Liu only dared to pretend not to hear, grabbed her bag, lowered her head and walked quickly.
Fortunately, he didn't go far when someone came to greet him.
"Baby, you look so beautiful today." The young man in his early twenties hugged her and kissed her on the face.
Liu Liu was shy and awkward, so she reached out and gently pushed him away, saying, "He's outside!"
The young man laughed and said, "What's the matter? You are my girlfriend. Others can only see it with envy." After that, he took her hand and led her to the small restaurant: "You haven't eaten yet? Let's go." Eat first, have a good meal, and I will take you somewhere."
"Where are you going? My mother is here for the past two days. I have to go back early in the afternoon." Liu Liu spoke softly while being led by the young man.
Hearing this, the young man paused and showed a disappointed and aggrieved expression: "That's it, okay then. Didn't you say you wanted to go camping last time? I even borrowed a better off-road vehicle and wanted to take you camping in the mountains. Woolen cloth!"
A simple little girl is always easy to be soft-hearted. When she saw the person she liked showing such a disappointed and pitiful expression, she immediately threw all her original worries behind her and said hesitantly: "How about I try to follow you?" Mom, tell me?"
When the young man heard this, he immediately kissed the little girl on the face and praised her: "Baby, she's so good."
Liu Liu blushed with embarrassment during the whistles.
