Chapter 139

Li Qingyao handed Chen Pu the last few pumpkin seeds that the lady at the grocery store had forced upon her: "Try it, the lady fried them at home, they are quite fragrant. Xue Li died last year, and all the neighbors know about it. Her household registration should still be in Xiangcheng, but her family did not cancel it. When she passed away, she had resigned several months ago, but someone from Huayu sent her a considerable pension. Are all capitalists so generous?"

Chen Pu smiled, picked up a melon seed and cracked it, saying, "Anyway, the capitalists in my family are not so generous."

"Do they know that you're complaining about your parents and brothers like this?"

"I'm just telling the truth. They are all normal people. Let's go and pay them a visit."

This means not revealing one's identity. If this family is really connected with Xiang Siling, it is necessary to avoid alerting the enemy.

Xue Li's parents looked mature and honest. Chen Pu and the other man claimed to be Xue Li's former colleagues at Huayu. They just learned about her death recently and happened to be passing by on a business trip, so they came to see her. Xue's father and mother hurriedly poured tea and put out some fruits, and were very polite and grateful.

Xue Li's brother is Xue Zhi, who is in his early thirties, with an ordinary appearance, a bit slick, and a loud tone. After a few words, he started to brag about his connections and knowledge in Xiangcheng. Chen Pu and Li Qingyao both smiled and agreed.

Especially Li Qingyao, who looked at him sincerely with a pair of eyes that could speak. She was beautiful and had a good temperament, which made Xue Zhi's head hot. He became more and more excited as he talked. In the end, he answered almost everything Chen Pu and Li Qingyao asked.

"I didn't expect Huayu to be so nice." Li Qingyao sighed, "Who sent the pension? I guess it must be our General Xiang Siling. She has always been very nice to her subordinates."

Xue Zhi smiled and looked at her and said, "You guessed it right. It's President Xiang. She has nothing to say about our family. She came in person to deliver the pension and said that my little sister is her best employee and they are also good friends. I don't respect anyone but President Xiang. She is so beautiful and she is the daughter of a big boss. She is capable and kind. She deserves to be the head of the big group in the future."

Li Qingyao smiled: "That's right. Oh, there's one more thing I want to remind you of, it may be a bit redundant. Xue Li is gone, her original household registration, bank card, social security relationship, etc. are still in Xiangcheng. For example, bank cards, there are news reports that someone passed away, and relatives didn't know there was money in the bank card, and the bank would not take the initiative to notify, so the money was just sitting there. For example, social security, I don't understand this either. Can she withdraw the social security money she paid originally, and how to withdraw it. Is it related to the household registration, and does it have to go to Xiangcheng to cancel the account. Have you handled all these clearly?"

Xue Zhi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about these. When my younger sister came home, she told us all about her bank card. As for the rest, as soon as my younger sister passed away, General Xiang came. She handed over everything, such as household registration, ID card and social security, to her and took care of it for us. We don't have to worry about it at all. As long as the money can be recovered, she has recovered it all for us. Compared with the pension, that money is nothing at all."

Li Qingyao praised: "Mr. Xiang is such a good man."

After Chen Pu and Li Qingyao left, Xue Zhi originally planned to go out to play cards with his friends, but halfway there, he suddenly remembered something.

That was in the first half of the year. During the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiang Siling sent rice dumplings to their family again and called to inquire about their family's situation, which deeply moved the whole family.

At the end of the call, Xiang Siling said a few words: "If someone from Xiangcheng comes to your house and asks about Xue Li, let me know." Xiang Siling meant that she was given extra compensation because she had a good personal relationship with Xue Li, which was actually far more than the group's standard. If someone came to inquire, it might be her competitor at work who wanted to find fault with her. Let Xue Zhi remember to notify her as soon as possible, so that she could be prepared to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Xue Zhi slapped his head, wondering how he had forgotten about this. Thinking that he probably hadn't said anything he couldn't, he called Xiang Siling and said respectfully, "Hello, President Xiang, I haven't contacted you for a long time. I hope I didn't disturb you at work. I called because I remembered your instructions last time. This morning, two people came to my house, a man and a woman, who said they were Xue Li's former colleagues. But I think they are very kind, so there shouldn't be any problem."

At this time, Xiang Siling was sitting in front of the unparalleled and open river view at home, practicing yoga with bated breath.

She seemed completely unperturbed by the sudden phone call, performing one difficult move after another gracefully and slowly while having a patient conversation with Xue Zhi.

She first asked about the two people's appearance, and then asked about the content of their conversation in detail.

Finally, she smiled and said, "It's okay, I know how to deal with it, thank you. Don't worry, I won't be in trouble. The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and I will ask my secretary to send you mooncakes in two days. However, this may be the last time I send you anything."

After the call ended, Xiang Siling had just finished her yoga practice. She jumped up from the ground, picked up a towel to wipe the sweat off her face, walked to the window, and saw the green river flowing slowly under the bright sunlight. Her expression became stunned.

This day had finally come. She thought, they had finally caught her.

However, these two people are Chen Pu and Li Qingyao, which are better than others.

When she first made the murder plan, Xiang Siling didn't know how many times she thought about it, checked it, overturned it and redid it. In the end, she had to admit that there is no perfect crime in this world. As long as you make any action, you will definitely leave traces. Especially now, cameras are everywhere, and real-name registration is required for everything. There are almost no murder cases that cannot be solved.

She had already used all the people she could use, and had also erased all surface traces, hiding her whereabouts in the cold and deep Minya Lake. However, there were still some things that could not be erased, so she could only hide them very deeply, and the police might not be able to find them, or they might be able to find them. But by then she had thought clearly and would face all the consequences calmly.

At this moment, Xiang Siling was surprisingly calm. For a moment, she couldn't tell whether she wanted to be caught by them, end it all, spend the rest of her life in prison, and pay for her sins. Or she wanted to escape, pretend nothing happened, and start a new life in the United States with Qian Chengfeng.

She just felt so tired. Every day of these short twenty-five years of life was tiring.

The only thing she knew was that she really wanted to stop and rest, and have a long, sound sleep.

Just then, her cell phone rang. It was Qian Chengfeng calling: "Have you left? I'm almost at Heili Peak."

Heili Peak is a scenic spot near Xiangcheng. It has a vast mountain area and beautiful scenery. Many people go there for camping, mountain climbing and hiking on weekends. Qian Chengfeng and Tiantian are about to go abroad. Today, they made an appointment for the family of three to go there to spend some parent-child time together.

Since we already know that we are destined to be separated from them and can never be together again in this life, then we should cherish the remaining time and live happily! Xiang Siling said with a smile: "So positive? I will take Tiantian out right away. I will be there in an hour and a half and wait for us."

"Okay." Qian Chengfeng could sense her joy, and his tone became relaxed. "I'll find a place and set up a tent first, and you can come and play."

-

Chen Pu and Li Qingyao drove back to Xiangcheng.

The facts about Xue Li are very clear.

She resigned due to serious illness, and should have been targeted by Xiang Siling a long time ago. She died at home, but her household registration was in Xiangcheng. Xiang Siling used the name of the group and money to confuse the Xue family. He took away Xue Li's identity information on the pretext and never cancelled her account. Afterwards, Xiang Siling bought a used car under Xue Li's identity. If Li Qingyao hadn't recognized Xiang Siling's handwriting at the second-hand car store, the police would have missed this clue.

However, the experienced Chen Pu thought more.

He called his colleagues in the bureau and said, "Please help me check Xue Li. From last year to this year, I want all the bank cards, mobile phone cards, debts, and transportation information in her name...anything related to her."

Chen Pu didn't know what would be found. But he believed that Xiang Siling went to such great lengths to find a substitute for himself, and would not just buy a car. It was very likely that more criminal traces were hidden under this skin. Then they would make a lot of money.

When the two were halfway there, Chen Pu received a call from Ding Guoqiang. After just a few words, his face changed.

"What? Qian Chengfeng was killed?"

Mid-Autumn Festival is indeed an important traditional festival. Did you all go out to have fun? My writer friends and I all feel that the festive atmosphere around us is too strong, and there is no atmosphere or mood for writing. Tomorrow we will still force ourselves to stay at home and write for a day. The day after tomorrow, on the day of Mid-Autumn Festival, we decided to take a day off and have a good time (playing bad).
