Repercussions

Chapter 1: The Big Pit-5

She secretly summoned Xiao Liu. Xiao Liu was the general manager of the Xijiang branch of the Mike's Chain Hotel, and three years ago she was the head of the Personnel Department at the head office, and she was the one who provided some of the information on the day of Xia Bingqing's interview. This time, Ran Dangdong mainly wanted to learn about Xu Shanchuan's recent situation from her. Xiao Liu said that Xu Shanchuan has changed, becoming nervous and anxious, and swearing and cursing when he doesn't move. All day long his mouth is chewing gum, even meeting speeches, cursing and s*x are chewing. He was inquiring about who in the end betrayed him, that is, betrayed him and Xia Bingqing in the private room alone for three hours this matter. He said that as long as he found out who betrayed him, he would kill him.

Why did Xu Shanchuan care so much about the three hours in the private room? Ran Dongdong asked Xiao Liu to think again and see if there were any details he had missed. For example, what was the expression on Xia Bingqing's face when she walked out of the private room? Xiao Liu said she was wearing sunglasses, she only remembered that she was wearing sunglasses. For example, who walked out of the private room first, and did they talk in the corridor? Xiao Liu said Xia Bingqing walked out of the private room first, and Xu Shanchuan followed her out, pulling her suitcase in his hand. Ran Dongdong said I need this kind of details, Xu Shanchuan help her pull suitcase, think about how much information. Another example, how did they leave the hotel? Xiao Liu said Xia Bingqing stood in front of the lobby and waited until Xu Shanchuan drove the car up and she got in. Another example, who opened the car door? Which door was opened? Xiao Liu said it was Xu Shanchuan opened, opened the passenger door. Then again, what was the commotion in the private room during those three hours? Xiao Liu said I was in the lobby, too far away. She said while looking around, as if she was afraid of being discovered. Ran Dongdong said Don't be nervous, this is the Public Security Bureau, we will protect the witnesses. She poured her a cup of coffee and they chatted. They chatted until the end of the day, when Ran Dongdong Dang drove Xiaoliu. In the car, Xiao Liu asked you suspect Xu Shanchuan is the murderer?

"Does he look like it to you?" Wrendon asked rhetorically.

"Not like that, he's actually quite nice."

"Just to get the lay of the land."

"That's good."

Xiao Liu thought that as long as Xu Shanchuan wasn't the murderer, then the information she provided wouldn't hurt him too much, otherwise she would have trouble sleeping and eating. If the murderer is him, Mike's company is finished. If the murderer is him, Mike's company will be finished. If Mike's company is finished, her job will be gone. She'd have to find a new job, and would it pay as much as it does now? Maybe, but not as good a working environment. Now how good, do a branch general manager, both small shares, but also through the chairman of the board of directors, who do not dare to bully. Therefore, every time she answered Ran Dongdang, her heart was full of contradictions, not daring not to tell the truth but afraid of telling the truth, while trying to swallow what she had said, while trying to swallow it while telling it again.

"What do I do?" She asked.

"Which way do you mean?" Wrendon said.

"Should I turn down Xu Shanchuan's date?"

"It's definitely immoral to be a third party."

"But can Moral give me a job? Would I have a decent life today without him? If you were me, what would you choose?"

"If ...... if you were Shen Xiaoying what would you think?"

"Then I'll kill me."

"Isn't that the answer, sometimes you stand in a different position and you don't dwell on it."

Ran Dongdong parked the car at the back door of the Xijiang branch. Xiao Liu did not get out of the car immediately. Ran Dongdong knew that she still had something to say, but she didn't rush her and didn't even look at her, intentionally giving her a wider eye space. The car was suddenly a hundred times quieter, and even the sound of the car's engine seemed to have disappeared. Ran Dongdong said you can choose to be silent, or you can speak after the pressure is lifted, we have plenty of time. She was hesitating, she has been holding back for more than three years, and then hold back to be held into internal injuries, as if clutching a large amount of money in the hand but do not pay the debt owed. She said I heard crying ...... At that time, I took the list of hired personnel to find Xu Shanchuan to sign, walked to the door of the private room suddenly heard Xia Bingqing crying inside. I did not dare to knock on the door, turned around and left.

"Thanks!" Ran Dondo realized he hadn't said thank you in a long time.

The netizens put pressure on the leadership of the city bureau, the leadership of the city bureau puts pressure on the branch office, the branch office puts pressure on Ran Dongdong, Ran Dongdong puts pressure on himself, and the pressure is transmitted from one layer to the next, like an electric current that makes Ran Dongdong's hands go numb. Netizens are anxious to arrest the murderer tomorrow, otherwise they will leave a message "rookie", "brain-dead" or "eat dry rice" or something, a sentence more than a mean sentence. The bureau held three case analysis meetings, and Ran Dongdong reported the case in detail. The experts find it tricky to solve the case, but due to public opinion, the bureau leadership demands that the investigation be speeded up, or someone else will take over. Ran Dongdong is a master at solving cases, and she certainly doesn't want to be replaced by someone else.

She conducted a second questioning of Xia Bingqing's parents, location Xia's house, recorder Shao Tianwei. Xia Bingqing's parents speak evasively, like Scrooge spending money, obviously a sentence has to be broken into two sentences, and most of the time Xia's mother is crying, crying while begging Ran Dondong to avenge her daughter's death. Ran Dongdong said the murderer can't cry, only the truth can help us solve the case. "I will tell the truth this time." Xia mother suddenly stops crying. Ran Dondong asks them to focus on recalling whether she had any unusual behavior before Xia Bingqing left home, especially on the night of her interview on April 22 three years ago. Xia's mother said she was so happy that she cried all day and night. Ran Dongdong asks how she cried.

"She cries behind closed doors." Summer's mother said.

"How is crying happy?"

"Tears of joy," Summer's father interjected, "because she'll finally get to work in the big city."

"Has she cried in front of you guys since?"

Neither of them answered, as if answering was the hardest thing under the sky. Ran Dongdong found that Xia's father's right hand had been placed in his right trouser pocket, drawing out for a while, but stopping after only one-third of the time, thrusting in for a while, but thrusting to the bottom of the pocket and then immediately dialing back, his fingers in the trouser pockets, as if he was in a hurry to count the money and was too embarrassed to count it in front of his face. Ran Dongdong said take it out. Xia father said take what? She said the things in your pocket. Xia's father's hand pumped back and forth twice more before pulling out a trembling envelope. Ran Dongdong pulled out the letterhead inside and saw that it read, "I'm sorry I wasn't able to be the daughter you wanted me to be, if something happens to me, please find Xu Shanchuan. Bing Qing."

"Why didn't you give us this letter earlier?" Wrendon asked.

"Because she didn't become the daughter we wanted." Summer's father said.

"What does that mean?"

"She embarrassed us and we thought she was doing us a favor ......"

So they know, Wrendon thought, so they're like my parents, making sure their collars are clean and straight even when their shirts have a hundred holes in them. She was so angry she wanted to slap the table, but halfway through raising her hand she realized it was inappropriate, and it hung in the air for a long time before she gently lowered it. She said that people are dead and you are still telling lies, where do you get the courage to do so?

Xia's father said that she came home for three days during the Ching Ming Festival this year. The first night I noticed her eyes were red and asked her what happened. She said she fell in love with a married man, and now she didn't know what to do. I said to leave him and find a new one. She said it would be too easy to leave him. I said our family doesn't help people raise mistresses. She said she is forcing him to divorce. I said we don't want a second-hand son-in-law in our family. She said then you want my life. I was so angry, with disappointment and despair and hatred, that I slapped her. I did not know that she would be killed, if I knew, I would rather slap her mother than slap her, and now I regret it so much that I want to cut off this hand. Xia father looked at his right hand, as if there was still Xia Bingqing's face on his hand.

Xia's mother said Bingqing locked herself in her room and cried all day, the door is locked, I how to knock can not be knocked open. I persuade her through the door, text message persuade her, said as long as she is happy, love who we support, and even have feelings no marriage we also applauded through. Ran dongdong think this is forced to the corner before relaxing the policy, but where there is a drop of negotiation space, which mother will not be so bottomless. Xia mother said but, no matter how I persuade, she is not bubble, until the third day at noon she opened the door. We thought she figured it out, the heart of that ecstasy is like a dead person to come back to life. I didn't expect her to go out directly without eating or drinking, and took a cab in front of the courtyard. Her father and I also took a cab and chased her to the blue lake. She got out of the car and so did we. She stood on a rock by the lake, her body was as weak as a piece of paper. We were afraid that something would happen to her and rushed up to pull her down. The more we pulled her, the more she wanted to jump into the water, I do not know where her strength, I could not pull, I fell to my knees. I said we only have a daughter, you look at it, you jumped down in front of our feet after the feet to follow, if you do not, then we live to see who? She seems to have listened to, jumped headlong into my arms and cried for two whole hours. She said mom, don't worry, I will live with you.

Ran Dongdong listened to the nose, she wiped her moist eyes, said the first time I asked you, you said she went home on the Ching Ming Festival nothing unusual, talking and laughing and singing. Do you know that you do not report the good news and worry about how big a mistake? You have delayed the most valuable window for us to solve the case. Xia's father said sorry, did not tell the truth because we are not convinced, we are not convinced of our life ah. Ran Dongdong said but you helped the murderer to win time.
