"Then let me tell you in detail about Zhao Kuan's situation and what he wants to convey...Ah, is everything okay now?" Chen Bing asked as if he realized something.
"Ah, indeed a little bit..."
"Then wait a while and call again?"
Yi Mei did not answer immediately, her ear was still pressed against the receiver. After a moment, the sound of the entrance door opening was heard.
"Hello?" Chen Bing called.
"Ah, that's all right. Tell me, what happened?
What's going on? "
Yi Mei's tone became relaxed and relaxed. Saki would probably stay at the entrance until the taxi left.
"I told you yesterday that Zhao Kuan was involved in the investigation on suspicion of wounding someone to death. This guy told me this morning that he had confessed that he had killed Li Zhi. It is said that if he did this, he would turn into murder. Suspected. An acquaintance of mine is a police officer from the Public Security Bureau. I just called and asked about it and found out what happened."
The first worry that arose in Yi Mei's heart was whether her name appeared in Zhao Kuan's confession.
After the sound of the car starting was heard, the maid Sha Ji returned to the house. When she saw Yi Mei holding the receiver, she took a detour to the kitchen.
"What did the police say?"
"Well, I talked a lot...it's troublesome. It takes a long time to talk on the phone, and I can't explain it clearly."
"It's okay to go outside."
"You might as well go outside... Zhao Kuan said
I hope you can hire a lawyer for him, madam. "
"lawyer?"
"Yes. When Zhao Kuan was dragged away by the criminal police, he took a moment and whispered a few words to me. Because I happened to be in his room at the time."
It seems that the matter is complicated, and the so-called hiring a lawyer is mostly because you want to pay for it yourself. You really can't tell by phone alone.
"Where are you now?"
"It's near the apartment where I live. I'm using a public phone. If I call from the apartment, other people will hear it."
"Okay, then I'll go to your place. Not to your apartment, but to drive to Dongdaqiao Station, and you'll wait for me there. Now I'll pack up and get ready to go."
"I understand. It's snowing, I'm really sorry." Chen Bing said this in a middle-aged tone.
Chen Bing wore a leather jacket on his upper body and wore
Long cotton boots, standing in front of Dongdaqiao Station and looking around. His long hair makes his forehead narrow. The eyebrows are drooped and the eyes are thin and long. Because the mouth is open, the shortness of the chin is even more obvious. Chen Bing glanced aside and didn't even notice Yi Mei's car crossing other cars and coming to him.
Chen Bing noticed when Yi Mei opened the car window slightly and revealed her face from the driver's seat. He smiled, nodded and hurriedly got into the back seat of the car. No parking is allowed in this area.
"I'm so sorry, ma'am."
“Where can I stop for a cup of tea?”
"Well, there's a roadside restaurant ahead." "Okay, let's go there."
"That store is quite dirty. The only advantage is that it has a parking lot."
Perhaps because of the snow and few private cars, we arrived earlier than expected. However, while driving, Chen Bing's small eyes were always reflected in the rear mirror, which made Yi Mei irritated.
The roadside restaurant is similar to a public canteen. There are two truck drivers eating noodles at a nearby table. The coffee that was served was just colored sugar water.
"I really can't believe that Miss Li Zhi died like this.
letter. "
Opposite Chen Bing's eyes were frequently cast on her chest. Yi Mei felt uncomfortable and buttoned the front of her coat.
"After Madam left, the doctor came. He immediately performed a gastric lavage, and Zhao Kuan and I had to do it. Li Zhi vomited a lot into the washbasin. It was so disgusting that it was completely impossible to watch."
The coffee she drank started to churn in Yi Mei's stomach.
"Was she still conscious at that time?"
"She lost consciousness, but she was responsive. Then, about ten minutes later, right in front of the doctor's eyes, her condition took a turn for the worse and she soon ran out of breath."
"Isn't this strange? Didn't she die from taking sleeping pills?"
"It seems that there was blood on the top of her head. The forensic doctor opened the skull there and found blood inside. It is said that the cause of death was a violent impact. Zhao Kuan grabbed Li Zhi and put her head in the sink. He was banged against the side several times. The police officer I know told me that this is how Zhao Kuan confessed this morning. That’s why his suspicion changed from wounding someone to death to intentional homicide.”
"Zhao Kuan himself said so?"
"Yes, that's what he said. I think it's a little strange too."
"Did Zhao Kuan tell the police that I was in that house before?"
"The police didn't mention a word about my wife. He seemed to have told me about Fangda and I, but the criminal police came to me for questioning after checking Zhao Kuan's room - that's called an on-site investigation. However, it would be useless even if Zhao Kuan didn't mention our matter, because the doctor had confessed us before. The doctor said that Li Zhi's death was strange, so he did not write a death certificate, but went to the police station to report the death. Fortunately, Madam, you I went back. Of course, this matter has nothing to do with my wife, but being forced to be a witness is very troublesome. Needless to say, Zhao Kuan, Fangda and I didn’t tell the police about my wife. We don’t want to cause any trouble to you. "
"Thanks."
This worry has subsided for the time being, but Chen Bing's tone is sticky, giving people a feeling that it is not entirely true.
"But, isn't this strange? Miss Li Zhi was pushed by Zhao Kuan and fell in the kitchen. Fangda and you took Miss Li Zhi into a taxi and went to see a surgeon, where she had three stitches. Needle, and then returned to the apartment. At that time, she could speak well as usual, and there was no abnormality in her behavior. She also said that she was taking care of you and asked Zhao Kuan to send whiskey to your room. These are the things I learned from Zhao Kuan I heard it there.”
"Yes, that's right. After the treatment at the surgical hospital, she thanked the doctor and asked the nurse about the medical expenses. In the taxi back, she also said things like 'Thank you for taking care of me' and Zhao Kuan We had a fight, I'm embarrassed' and the like. If the cause of death was internal bleeding caused by hitting her head, then she couldn't say that or do that. I think she would lose consciousness on the spot and fall to the ground."
"Isn't that right? When she came back after seeing the doctor, she got into bed and asked Zhao Kuan to get the whiskey for you. While he was away, she drank the sleeping pills."
"After Madam returned, Zhao Kuan called us over, so I looked at the room and saw that the bottle of sleeping pills was only half full and there was no water in the cup."
Yes, that's exactly it. Yi Mei looked outside the door once, and again with Zhao Kuan, and the scene beside Li Zhi's pillow came to her eyes again.
"I heard that the bottle contains forty tablets. In other words, I took almost twenty tablets. I vomited a lot during gastric lavage, but it may have been too long and it was too late."
