Unbridled, Depraved

Chapter 105 The Enemy is in the Dark, I am in the Light

7 p.m.

Deman Hotel.

Shen Qianhe sat in the back seat, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to the number that didn't display his name: "I'm already at the door, where are you?"

Soon, the phone vibrated: "Box 305"

The two walked out of the car, entered the hotel lobby, and then took the elevator directly to the third floor.

After finding box 305, Shen Qianhe took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw several plainclothes policemen.

When they saw that the people who came in were Xie Jincheng and his wife Shen Qianhe, who came from the largest family in Beijing, everyone in the box seemed a little surprised, and then quickly stood up to greet them.

"It turned out to be Mr. and Mrs. Xie!"

A middle-aged policeman who seemed to be the leader came forward to shake hands.

"We are from the city's criminal investigation detachment. My name is Lai Yong, and I am the detachment leader."

Shen Qianhe's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure. She smiled and extended her hand, "It turns out to be Captain Lai, hello."

After a brief self-introduction, Lai Yong continued, "You two, we are here to investigate a murder case. The owner of the phone that sent you the message is the victim of this murder case."

Xie Jincheng's eyes narrowed slightly, and he asked in a deep voice: "The victim is Su Meng?"

"Correct."

Lai Yong's tone became serious: "After our verification, we confirmed that the phone that sent the message belonged to Su Meng. Since your wife was the last person Su Meng contacted before his death, we need to ask your wife to come back to the bureau with us to make a detailed record."

When Shen Qianhe heard this, he frowned and asked, "But didn't Su Meng die last night? I only received the text message at three o'clock this afternoon."

A criminal police officer beside Lai Yong took over the conversation and explained: "This text message was sent on a scheduled basis. The time set for the text message was two hours before her death."

Shen Qianhe silently wondered in her heart whether Su Meng had accidentally found out who wanted to harm her and then set this scheduled text message?

On the one hand, she is sending signals to herself, and on the other hand, she may also be trying to negotiate with the other party.

As a result, the negotiations failed, leading to her being silenced?

Otherwise, it is absolutely impossible for a normal person to suddenly decide to commit suicide by jumping off a building within two hours.

Shen Qianhe told Lai Yong all his guesses and thoughts.

Lai Yong said that this possibility cannot be ruled out.

After obtaining the consent of Shen Qianhe and Xie Jincheng, Lai Yong took them to the Public Security Bureau to take statements.

After finishing the record, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

On the way, Shen Qianhe asked Xie Jincheng for a pen, and then drew a relationship diagram of several people related to this case on the back of the proposal given to her by Zheng Huan.

Su Meng, Song Yubai, Gu Wanwan, Shi Yue, Shen Qianhe, Xie Jincheng, He Yang.

Shen Qianhe frowned and stared at the name on the paper. She found that no matter how she looked at it, she and Su Meng did not seem to have a direct interest relationship.

This confused her. How did Su Meng know that someone wanted to harm her?

Just as she was biting her fingers, puzzled by the simple names on the paper, Xie Jincheng's voice came slowly from above her head.

"You missed a key person."

Shen Qianhe raised his head and looked at him, with a curious look in his eyes: "Who is it?"

"Zhao Xinran."

"Zhao Xinran? He Yang's childhood sweetheart, Zhao Anran's sister?"

Xie Jincheng said “hmm” and continued, “Zhao Xinran and Su Meng were college classmates and had a pretty good relationship. The reason why Song Yubai got to know Su Meng was because of Zhao Xinran’s introduction at a gathering in the circle.”

When Zhao Xinran was mentioned, a light flashed in Shen Qianhe's mind, and his thoughts instantly became clear.

She suddenly thought of something, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes:

"She is with Shen Tianyou! Could it be that the person Su Meng mentioned who wanted to deal with me was Shen Tianyou?"

Shen Qianhe began to carefully recall the previous clues, and with this connection, things seemed to really make sense.

Ever since Xie Jincheng taught Shen Tianyou a lesson and made him suffer a lot last time, that guy has been sitting on his hands, and it is very likely that he is secretly planning some conspiracy.

Maybe, when Shen Tianyou and Zhao Xinran were plotting something bad, Su Meng happened to see them accidentally.

Shen Qianhe knew Shen Tianyou's character very well. For a dandy scoundrel like him who was involved in prostitution, gambling and drugs, it was possible that he would kill people to cover up his crimes.

After all, she was the best example in her previous life.

If Shen Tianyou really did this, then the crime of murder alone would be enough to keep him in jail for decades.

But what secret did Su Meng know that made Shen Tianyou treat her so cruelly?

Shen Qianhe was filled with doubts and anxieties, and was eager to solve the mystery.

She took out her cell phone and prepared to contact Lai Yong from the Criminal Police Brigade again, but Xie Jincheng held her hand and shook his head at her.

"Why won't you let me call?"

Xie Jincheng said in a deep voice: "I told Lai Yong about the inferences you just mentioned when we were at the Public Security Bureau. But he said that Shen Tianyou and Zhao Xinran were at a bar with a few friends last night, from 10 pm last night to 3 am this morning, and they all have alibis."

"Besides, Su Meng died around 2 a.m., so the time doesn't match."

Not Shen Tianyou!

Who else could it be?

Shen Qianhe closed the pen cap, feeling confused.

Who else wants to fuck her?

She searched hard for all the suspicious lists in her mind.

If it wasn't Lin Rou and her son, then there was another possibility, that was someone from the Xie family.

Her current identity is Mrs. Xie, Xie Jincheng's enemy, and it is very likely that he will regard her as an enemy as well.

If you think about it this way, there are so many suspicious people.

In the three years since Xie Jincheng returned to Beijing, it can be said that he has offended quite a few people.

Most people are afraid to speak out because of his power.

It's not impossible that someone is trying to do something to her behind her back.

What's more, Mr. Xie's health is getting worse and worse, and the internal struggles in the Xie family are becoming more and more intense.

Wei Yan and her son were brought back to the old house, making this fight between the wealthy families even more confusing.

Moreover, there is another suspicious point in the whole matter, which is her cell phone number. How did Su Meng get it?

Or rather, who told her.

Because not many people know her private number.

She added a few more names to the list.

Wei Guan, Wei Ran, Xie Xian, Li Xiujin, and Xie Lan.

When writing Xie Tianyi's name, Shen Qianhe's mind popped up the image of a fat otaku. It shouldn't be him.

Xie Tianyi's name was crossed out again.

Shen Qianhe frowned and thought hard.

The enemy is in the dark and I am in the light.

I don’t know what methods the person who wants to deal with her will use.

Xiaoyu's surgery is in two months, and nothing can go wrong during this period.

Xie Jincheng saw what Shen Qianhe was thinking. He gently held her hand and said softly:

"Don't worry, I will continue to investigate this matter. In the next few days, I will send a few more bodyguards to follow you, and I will also increase the manpower on Xiaoyu's side.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you and your sister."

Shen Qianhe stared at Xie Jincheng's smiling face and was slightly distracted.

She suddenly felt a little envious of the woman named Tang Yining.

Just because she is her substitute, Xie Jincheng can be so caring and considerate to her.

If she really came back, would Xie Jincheng chase after her regardless of everything just by snapping his finger?

Shen Qianhe sighed silently in his heart.

By then, will this powerful umbrella above her head still protect her?

She shook her head, trying to get rid of these chaotic thoughts.

Forget it, let's not think too much about it. Instead of worrying about gains and losses here, it's better to focus on the things at hand.

She must speed up and try to complete her big thing within these two years.

Then, take Xiaoyu to a place where spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and spend the rest of your life in a simple and peaceful way.

Thinking of this, Shen Qianhe suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Xie Jincheng, her eyes gleaming with anticipation:

"By the way, is there any news from my mother?"

Their eyes met, and Xie Jincheng's eyes flickered:

"Not yet. If there is, I will tell you as soon as possible."
