C29 (1/2)
Zhang Nan shook his head, crestfallen, and said: ”I mean, after she started to tell you the story of the Demon Man, did I still not tell you about her husband, do you really understand? And the head of the homicide squad, what's in your head? ”
”Nonsense, who can understand your elementary school student's ability to express himself!” Wang Zili said stubbornly, and then slowly recalled. After a moment of silence, he said, ”No, not a word. I remember it very clearly. But what does this mean? Why are you mentioning her husband?”
”Are you sure?”
”Of course I'm sure. Fuck, will laozi's memory be that bad?”
”Well, it's the same thing she told me. Ever since that man appeared in her story, she stopped mentioning her husband.”
”Quick, give me a conclusion!” Wang Zili urged.
”I feel like when she met that man, her husband disappeared.”
”Disappeared? Do you mean that her husband didn't disappear more than two weeks ago? But don't you think that's not convincing enough? ”
”Indeed, that's why I'm only speculating now. Let's talk about it after meeting Old Gu tomorrow.”
Wang Zili nodded, and the two of them slowly walked down the bridge.
In the afternoon of the next day, Wang Zili brought Zhang Nan to the police station. Old Gu was already waiting in his office.
Old Gu was very curious when he heard that Wang Zili, whose reputation had resounded throughout the police force, had a mysterious friend backing him. Therefore, the moment Zhang Nan entered the door, he sized him up from head to toe.
Zhang Nan was still dressed in his signature suit and sunglasses. After taking a glance at Old Gu, he sat down with Wang Zili.
”Old Gu, show him that.” Wang Zili instructed.
Then, Old Gu brought over a laptop and turned the screen towards Zhang Nan. He thought to himself, So I could see things, I thought he was blind.
”What are you looking at?” Zhang Nan asked.
”The previous few times when that woman came to report the case, I had Old Gu copy a video. Quickly go in and see if there's anything out of the ordinary.”
”Alright.” Zhang Nanxin thought: Energetic or capable, I thought very carefully.
Zhang Nan went closer to the computer and used the played software to quickly browse the video. Old Gu added:
”That woman, I think she came to our police station about seven or eight times. Every time she came because her husband beat her up, she called the police. But there were times when it was really serious. Her husband beat her black and blue, as if she had been in the hospital. ”
”Domestic violence, right? ”And the reason?” Wang Zili asked.
”There are all kinds of things, but most of them are because her husband suspects that she's looking for a man. The most outrageous thing is that her alarm clock was switched on early and her husband fell asleep, so she was hit.”
”What shift does she work for?”
”He's from a cosmetics company, but he seems to have resigned.”
”Is this her husband?” As Wang Zili and Old Gu were talking, Zhang Nan suddenly asked as he pointed to the computer screen.
In the video, a man appeared in the surveillance camera, pulling and tugging at Chai Hong. He even slapped Chai Hong, but was finally persuaded away by a few policemen.
”Yes, that was also the case the other day. The woman came to call the police first, and then the man chased her to the police station. The two of them were actually making a ruckus in our police station.”
Zhang Nan listened to Old Gu's explanation as he watched the video carefully again. Soon after, he nodded his head as if he had found some clues.
”Well, what's the problem?” Wang Zili asked.
”Her husband is tall and strong, and he has a good figure.” Zhang Nan said casually.
”You motherf * cking gay, going back just to look at her husband's figure?” Wang Zili retorted.
”No, I mean that woman's body is too thin compared to her husband's.”
”Oh, it's like this …” Wang Zili nodded, after thinking for a while, he quickly shouted again: ”Wait! I still don't get what you're talking about. What's this got to do with the case? ”
”Old Gu, this should be the latest video, right?” Zhang Nan ignored Wang Zili and asked Old Gu.
”Yes!”
”Where does the woman live?” Zhang Nan continued to ask.
”Putuo District, near the inner ring. Wait, I have her address.” With that, Old Gu opened his notebook, took out a note, and wrote down the address for Zhang Nan.
Zhang Nan put the note back in his pocket and said to Wang Zili: ”That's enough, let's go.”
”Where to?” Wang Zili followed behind Zhang Nan and asked.
Zhang Nan did not answer. When they were out of the police station, he said to Wang Zili: ”I'm hungry, let's go eat first.”
Thus, the two randomly found a fast food restaurant, ordered a good meal, and chose a corner where there were few people to sit down.
”Kid, you like pretending with me. You must have found out about it right?” The moment he sat down, Wang Zili pointed at Zhang Nan and said with a smile.
”It's still some speculation. There's no actual evidence. Do you want to hear it?”
”Nonsense, quickly tell us.” Wang Zili did not even eat his food, and directly looked at Zhang Nan.
”First of all, I'd like to define that woman. She's very smart and she does things very carefully, but right now, her mental condition isn't very normal. Do you agree?”
”Yes, indeed.” Wang Zili nodded.
”As for how abnormal it is, I feel that she has some illusions.”
”Fantasy?”
”I don't believe her story about that devil man. What about you?”
”Hey, big brother, you are psychic and I am a police officer. Normally, you would believe this kind of story even more than I do, but why are you acting like an atheist now?”
”I'm just talking about the matter. Of course, I have a little logical reasoning in there as well.”
”Tell me about it.”
”Sometimes, if there is a loophole in the whole thing, one should question its authenticity. Do you remember that I told you yesterday that her husband seemed to have disappeared after that devil man appeared out of that woman's story? ”
”I remember, but your so-called disappearance was in that woman's story. Actually, it doesn't mean anything, it could be that the woman felt there was no need to mention her husband, or that she hated him to the bone and didn't want to mention him anymore.”
”Well said, hate to the bones.” Zhang Nan nodded his head, and habitually rapped the table with his fingers, ”Do you know, almost all of the problems are caused by this deep hatred?”
”You have a damn bad habit of not wanting to finish the whole thing in one go.” Wang Zili was very anxious.
”Let me ask you, when that woman told you her story, did she complain about her husband, and tell you how he treated her so viciously?”
Wang Zili thought for a moment, then replied, ”I don't have any impression of him. I only remember her saying that their relationship was not good. ”
Same here.” Zhang Nan drank a mouthful of water to moisten his throat, ”That woman only said that her husband was not very good to her, and she lacked happiness. However, he lightly mentioned the matter of her husband beating her up, and even said that marrying a chicken will always follow a chicken, and dogs will always follow a dog.
”What's the problem?”
