" Liu Bo, you know Liu Bo, right? You investigated him and arrested him..." Wang Guizhi said.
"I know." Zhang Yang nodded.
Liu Bo was the main suspect. He was caught selling the gold necklace by the police and brought back for interrogation. In the end, it was a misunderstanding. He didn't take Lu Quanyou's necklace, but stole it from Li Mei.
Only the members of the task force knew who the key suspect was. The outside world could not know. There were too many people who were brought back for investigation, and Liu Bo was only one of them.
"Didn't he steal Li Mei's necklace and was locked up for half a month?”
"Yes, why?"
" I remember that Liu Bo came to see Li Mei one or two days after he was released. I don't know if he came to apologize or for something. Anyway, there was something wrong between the two of them. They started to get intimate. Liu Bo kept coming to see Li Mei, and then the two of them seemed to get along…"
Zhang Yang raised his eyebrows.
These two people are together?
Li Mei was already thirty-six years old, and Liu Bo was twenty-eight years old... It was still okay, with a difference of eight years. Moreover, both of them were not decent people.
They were all friends in the same circle as Lu Quanyou. They basically knew each other through playing cards and gambling.
" In the past month, Liu Bo has been coming over a lot. The two of them even quarreled in the room, also... also in the room..." Wang Guizhi said in a low voice,""After doing that, I heard the commotion outside the door.”
Zhang Yang understood!
The two of them were really together. They had even done it in the foot massage shop.
Zhang Yang recorded it in his notebook.
Actually, he could directly remember what Wang Guizhi said, but he had to write a statement. He had to sign it for confirmation and submit it to the file when he went back.
This was not a question of whether Zhang Yang could remember it or not. It was a matter of procedure.
It had to be said.
This was indeed a little strange, but it was not incomprehensible. It was hard to say between men and women!
Perhaps Liu Bo came to apologize and treated Li Mei to a meal, so the two of them drank a little before getting together.
The probability of such a thing happening to ordinary people was not high, but Li Mei and Liu Bo were not "good people". To put it bluntly, Li Mei was a prostitute, and Liu Bo was a hooligan and gambler.
These two people were really compatible!
"Anything else?" Zhang Yang asked again. He was not here to listen to gossip.
" It seems like... nothing much. Anyway, Liu Bo came here frequently recently. He would look for Li Mei whenever he had something to do. Li Mei even went out with him before..."
"Alright, alright." Zhang Yang stopped.
He didn't want to ask about this, but Wang Guizhi was obviously very interested in this aspect and was very gossipy.
Finally, he asked Wang Guizhi a few more questions.
Zhang Yang read the statement again and asked Wang Guizhi to sign it.
Before leaving, Zhang Yang told Wang Guizhi,"The content of today's conversation is confidential, understand?”
"I understand, I understand. Your other comrades have also said before, I understand!”Wang Guizhi nodded.
After leaving the Spring Foot Massage Shop, Zhang Yang drove around to the street behind the foot massage shop. He parked the car at the entrance of the alley and walked in.
A few days ago, Li Mei said that she wasn't feeling well and asked for leave. At the same time, she moved to a place nearby.
It was really close.
There was a tube-shaped apartment in the alley, but Zhang Yang did not know the exact name.
He went up to the fifth floor and saw a long corridor. The floor was dark, and there were marks left by chewing gum, phlegm, and other dirty things.
The walls on both sides were also filled with small advertisements.
Zhang Yang came to the door of Room 517, which was Li Mei's current residence.
Before Zhang Yang knocked on the door, he heard the commotion in the room.
"Shuffle the cards!"
"Bad luck!"
From the sounds of it, it seemed like they were gambling inside!
Thump! Thump!
Zhang Yang knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" It was a woman's voice.
"Check the water meter." Zhang Yang said.
"Wait…"
Soon, the door opened. It was Li Mei! Li Mei was thirty-six years old, but she looked younger. She was pretty and knew how to dress up. However, her skin was not good, and she was a little tanned. She was very small, about 1.5 meters tall.
" The water meter is over there. You can check it yourself…" Li Mei let Zhang Yang enter the room and pointed at it.
"Sister Li, hurry up. Are you going to press?" Someone urged Li Mei.
"He's here!" Li Mei ignored Zhang Yang and walked over quickly.
Zhang Yang closed the door and checked the situation inside.
It was a very large single room with messy furnishings. There was a big bed in the room with a tattered blanket on it. Seven or eight people were playing cards around it.
There were cigarette butts and beer cans on the ground.
The smoke was lingering, and it was unknown how many cigarettes they had smoked.
"What are you looking at? Aren't you checking the water meter?”Li Mei lit a cigarette and turned around to ask Zhang Yang.
Zhang Yang took out his police badge and showed it to him.""Police!"
"F * ck!"
"Police!"
Everyone was shocked. A group of people stood up. Some of them kicked the wad of money in their hands into their pockets, while others stuffed the money under their pillows.
They all looked at Zhang Yang and were frightened.
"I'm not here to catch gambling." Zhang Yang put away his police badge again." Regarding Lu Quanyou's case... put away your badges first and behave yourselves.”
"Hurry, hurry, put it away."
"Then why are we still investigating the case? You didn't find the murderer?"
"I don't know."
The group of people were very honest. They were not good people, but they were not evil either. However, when they were caught gambling by the police, there was no one who was not afraid.
Zhang Yang said that he wouldn't take bets.
But if they didn't cooperate, Zhang Yang could catch them and bring them all back to pay a heavy fine. They didn't dare to not cooperate.
"Li Mei, I have something to ask you." Zhang Yang gestured to Li Mei, then looked around the house and said,"Are there any rooms here?"
"No, no." Li Mei stood there obediently and answered whatever Zhang Yang asked.
"Then what's behind it?" Zhang Yang raised his hand and pointed again.
It was a large single room with a short corridor. Zhang Yang walked over to take a look. On one side of the short corridor was a bathroom, and further inside was a small balcony.
There were really no other rooms.
" You guys…one, two, three, four, five, six, seven…" Zhang Yang turned around and counted the people, including Li Mei and the other seven."You all know Lu Quanyou, right? Don't go. Wait for me outside the door. I'll ask you some questions.”
If there were no other rooms, then let the others go out first!
Wait in the corridor!
No one found a reason to wait. No one dared to say anything. In fact, if Zhang Yang had not seen them gambling, they might not have given them such face.
They were a bunch of hooligans and old hooligans, and they always had to deal with the police.
The others went out to smoke in the corridor and discussed among themselves.
Zhang Yang closed the door again.
"Officer, we still haven't found Old Lu's murderer?”Li Mei asked Zhang Yang.
" Not yet. Sit down. Answer my questions. Don't ask too many questions..." Zhang Yang gestured to Li Mei.
Zhang Yang pulled a chair and sat down, while Li Mei sat by the bed.
Zhang Yang took out his notebook and started asking questions.
"Do you remember what Lu Quanyou said the last time you met or spoke to him?”
"On the day of the crime, which is April 20th, what were you doing exactly? Tell me in detail, remember?”
"You once lived with Lu Quanyou. Did he have any enemies? Tell me in detail."
"He often hits you, right? Why didn't he call the police?”
Li Mei used to be a key suspect, but he was different from Jiang Hongling. Jiang Hongling had no alibi, and he had sufficient motive to kill. He had the time and ability to commit the crime.
However, Li Mei had neither the time nor the ability to commit the crime, so her alibi was sufficient. Therefore, Zhang Yang's question was mainly based on his understanding of Lu Quanyou and to see if she could provide any clues.
In fact, many questions had been asked in the previous investigation.
Zhang Yang repeated his question, but he still asked. A personal question was clearer than words. He knew that he could see Li Mei's reaction and see if she was hiding anything.
Through this inquiry, Zhang Yang had a general understanding of Li Mei's personality. She looked like a very sociable woman, but she was very afraid of Lu Quanyou. She did not dare to call the police because Lu Quanyou was more sociable than her.
She obviously didn't want to talk about her past with Lu Quanyou, but she did talk a lot about Lu Quanyou's enemies.
Lu Quanyou had too many enemies! Li Mei really understood.
However, from Li Mei's description of these enemies, he felt that their motives were not sufficient to raise the level of murder.
" Also…" Zhang Yang continued to ask," You and Liu Bo, Liu Bo stole your necklace. We detained him for fifteen days according to the law. Did he come to you after that?" What did they say?"
" Liu Bo, that dog. He came to me the second day after he came out and apologized to me. After that, we didn't really contact each other..."
Zhang Yang stopped writing and looked up at Li Mei.
She was lying!
