Chapter 143

"You and Tiantian both saw the murderer's face and were subdued by him, but he didn't kill you. Why? Do you know the reason?"

Xiang Siling said: "I don't know."

陈浦目光深深：“你到帐篷的时间，我们就算是10点40，打110报警是在11点25。这中间有45分钟。凶手是在什么时间走的？”

"About... 10 minutes before I called the police."

The expressions of the two detectives changed.

The leader of the first team asked, "So, you and the murderer were in the tent together for about 35 minutes?"

"Ah."

"What did you say and do? Tell us carefully."

Xiang Siling bit her lip, her expression becoming confused. "At first, he didn't say anything, just sat there playing with the dagger. I didn't dare to say anything either. Tiantian was probably too scared, she cried and fell asleep in my arms. Then, he asked me some questions."

"what is the problem?"

"He...first asked me how old I was and whether I had a good relationship with my parents. When he found out that Xiang Wei had died a long time ago, he laughed. I didn't know why he laughed. Then he asked me how old my child was and when he was born... Anyway, he just asked me some trivial things about life."

"All about you and the child?"

"Yeah, that's right. He also asked me how Qian Chengfeng and I met and whether our relationship was good. I said we had divorced a long time ago and had no feelings for each other, and he said that was good."

"Any more?"

"I can't remember clearly. They were all very fragmentary questions."

"Did he tell you why he killed Qian Chengfeng? Or did you ask him?"

Xiang Siling's face turned pale and he nodded: "I asked. He just said that Qian Chengfeng treated him badly and didn't consider him a brother. He didn't say anything else."

Chen Pu suddenly asked: "The murderer should be an old acquaintance of Qian Chengfeng. Have you seen him before? Or his photo?"

Xiang Siling looked him in the eyes and answered, "I have never seen him, and Qian Chengfeng has never mentioned this person."

"It sounds like he has no ill will towards you and Tiantian, and is actually quite interested in you. Did he tell me the reason?"

Xiang Siling shook her head: "He didn't say anything, and I didn't dare to ask." She shuddered: "I was afraid he would do something to us. If we really have to suffer, I hope he would come after me and not touch Tiantian. So I didn't ask any more questions."

Chen Puhe and the captain of Team 1 were silent.

A stunningly beautiful mother and a delicate little girl, facing a cruel killer, it is understandable that Xiang Siling is cautious.

"Did he hurt you?" The captain of Team 1 softened his tone.

"No."

Chen Pu didn't say anything, he just stood up and poured a cup of hot tea and placed it in front of her. Xiang Siling took it with both hands and said, "Thank you."

Chen Pu sat down again and asked, "Why did you call 10 110 minutes after he left?" Xiang Siling took a sip of hot tea and said, "He threatened us at that time, saying he was going out to smoke a cigarette and asked us to stay still or he would kill us. Then he left the tent and zipped up the tent door. I didn't dare to move at first, but after a few minutes, I heard something wrong, and there was no sound outside. The tent had double zippers inside and outside, so I took the courage to bite the zipper with my teeth to open it, but I found that he was gone, so I called the police immediately."

"Your hands and feet were tied up with cuffs, how did you call 110?"

"The phone was in my pocket. I tilted my body slightly and it slipped out. I made the call using voice command."

Not long after, the portrait artist drew the man's face according to Xiang Siling's description.

Each team organized and prepared the tasks at hand. In half an hour, Ding Guoqiang would preside over the first working meeting on this case.

Chen Pu first went to the Information Technology Department. He had asked two colleagues to help him search for the live broadcast video of that year. However, due to the closure of the platform and the data being cleared, there were too few clues and no results had been found so far.

Today, Chen Pu gave the technical department the photo of Qian Chengfeng and the portrait of the murderer, and told them that the protagonist of the live broadcast was probably a girl in her 20s, with fair skin, long hair, and a white dress, pure and beautiful. The technical department said that with these clues, they would have a much better grasp, and asked Chen Pu to wait for news.

In addition to thanking them for their work, Chen Pu also promised them a big meal and asked them to bring their girlfriends or wives. After all, they are in different departments, and you can't just let them work overtime. And this is how men's friendships are built.

The guy from the technical department asked with a smile: "Will you bring it?" The other guy laughed even more and said he wouldn't bring it, he was still single. Chen Pu thought that this case was difficult and would take some time. After the case was solved, it should be open to the public, right? So he said half-truthfully: "It depends on whether my husband is willing to come."

As a result, the other party said: You pretended very well, it seems real.

Another said: He might take Zhou Yangxin with him.

Chen Pu turned and left.

Then Chen Pu went to find Yan Yong again.

After he and Li Qingyao found out about Xue Li's existence, they told Yan Yong to coordinate with the relevant departments to investigate thoroughly. Now they have to ask him how the investigation is going. This is the matter of Xiang Siling and Luo Hongmin again.

Yan Yong's eyes sparkled as he said, "I was also sent to the scene just now, and I didn't have time to tell you - you guessed it right, Xue Li not only has a mobile phone card and a bank card, but also a registered company, both domestically and overseas, all in normal condition. She has two mobile phone numbers, one of which is currently in Xiangcheng, where do you think the other one is?"

Chen Pu leaned against Yan Yong's desk, rolled his eyes, and said, "Overseas?"

Yan Yong snapped his fingers. "That's right! I guess Xiang Siling and Lu Xing have been communicating with each other using the mobile phone number under Xue Li's name. That's why we couldn't find any evidence of their connection before. I have already applied to retrieve the chat records of the two mobile phone numbers from the telecommunications company. There are also bank cards. There have been many transfer and withdrawal records between Xue Li's two bank cards.

The most important thing is that Xue Li also has a foreign trade company under her name, and the foreign branch is registered in the Southeast Asian country where Lu Xing fled. I think this is the source of Lu Xing’s funds abroad. "

Chen Pu thought for a moment and said, "Take the information and let's go to Lao Ding to report and ask the foreign police to help investigate this company. If Lu Xing withdraws money from the company again, we will probably catch him."

Yan Yong's eyes suddenly lit up: "If we catch him and get a confession, Xiang Siling will be finished!"

Li Qingyao walked into the conference room, which was already full of people. Ding Guoqiang brought all the criminal police team members he could to Heili Peak today. Some people from the second and third teams went. The captain of the first team was doing a full-body massage on his day off, but was called in halfway through the massage to provide support.

Li Qingyao's qualifications meant that she could not sit at the table, so she could only sit in the outer circle of seats against the wall. She looked around but did not see Chen Pu.
