80s: The cold-faced tough guy was controlled by the beautiful woman

Chapter 428 Do it yourself
Li Yingtang: "I'm her colleague. She didn't come to work yesterday, and she didn't go today either. Do you know where she went?"

The elderly neighbor said, "I don't know. I haven't seen anyone from her family these past two days. Maybe they've gone back to the countryside."

Li Yingtang thanked him and stood at the door, deep in thought.

Even if you're going back to your hometown, shouldn't you ask for leave?

She climbed over the wall into the courtyard and approached the main room.

A faint, foul odor wafted into my nostrils, and there were a lot of flies in the yard.

Because of her part-time job in the criminal investigation team, Qin Xian felt increasingly uneasy.

I mustered up my courage and walked to the window.

Through the glass window, I could see a person lying on the bedroom floor, half-kneeling, with an electrical cord dangling from behind their neck, and many flies on their body.

Judging from his clothes, he was a man, and he had clearly been strangled.

Li Yingtang felt a chill run down her spine and dared not think any further.

Find a nearby public phone, call Xi Yue's team, and tell her about the situation.

Xi Yue was worried for her: "You saw it? You're really brave. If something was wrong, you should have called the police directly. Why did you go to their house? What's the address?"

Li Yingtang stated the detailed address as "Phoenix Street, South District".

Xi Yue: "The South District is not under our jurisdiction. Here's what we'll do: after you hang up, go and wait outside the victim's house while I find someone to handle it for you."

"Okay." Li Yingtang hung up the phone, paid the phone bill, and returned to the Zhu family home.

After the staff arranged by the Southern District Criminal Investigation Department met with Li Yingtang.

Li Yingtang briefly recounted what she had seen.

After discussing it, the staff selected two people to break down the door.

The commotion attracted the attention of the surrounding neighbors, but due to the staff's obstruction, everyone could only observe from the outside.

Li Yingtang dared not follow any further and stayed outside. Soon after, he was called in: "Comrade Li, take a look at these two. Which one are you looking for?"

Li Yingtang covered her nose, glanced around, and recognized Zhu Mingcui. Zhu Mingcui's face was stained with black blood, her complexion was ashen, and her lips were purple. Her hands were tightly clutching her chest, a truly gruesome sight. Another man's face was purplish-blue, his eyes half-open.

She couldn't stand it and looked away: "The woman is my colleague, I don't know the man."

One of the technicians looked at her upon hearing this: "The door was locked, how did you find out what was going on inside?"

Li Yingtang: "...Climb over the wall."

"The wall is so high, how are you going to climb over it?"

Li Yingtang: "What do you mean? You suspect me?"

"Don't be nervous, it's just a routine question."

Li Yingtang: "I'm skilled. With a light jump, I can climb up the wall."

"You act it out once and let me see."

Li Yingtang: "." Huh? What does that mean? Unable to figure out the other party's intentions, she still complied, demonstrated in front of everyone, and then jumped down from the wall: "Is it okay now?"

You guys look at me, I look at you.

This woman, who looks so delicate, is actually quite skilled.

A two-meter-high wall can be easily climbed over.

The captain said, "I have a few more questions to ask you. Please wait aside for a moment."

Li Yingtang was completely confused. She had already said everything she needed to say, so what else was there to ask?
As citizens, we must cooperate with the authorities in handling cases.

She waited patiently.

Oh, there's something else.

She said, "Zhu Mingcui is the accountant in our factory. Two days ago, she withdrew nearly a thousand yuan to pay the employees' wages. Today when I came to work, the employees told me that their wages had not been paid yesterday, and that the money should still be with her."

The captain instructed the recorder to write down Li Yingtang's words.

After the evidence was collected at the scene, they told her, "No cash was found."

Li Yingtang guessed that the murderer killed for money.

The team leader left two staff members to inquire about the situation from the neighbors and to notify the family members.

Then he led Li Yingtang back to the team.

After Li Yingtang finished giving his statement, it was already past noon.

Because of the smell at the scene, she lost her appetite and didn't eat lunch. She went home to take care of her children and calm herself down.

The child is taking a nap.

The weather in June is very hot.

Jia Yan stood by the crib, fanning the baby.

He saw her and said softly, "You got off work early today."

She works even harder than he did when he was younger, and she's full of energy, working until 10 p.m. every night.

Fitness, books, design drawings, checking accounts.

He does many things personally.

Compared to her, her son was far inferior.

The aunt said that in the past, her son and daughter-in-law would stay in the study after get off work and not come out.

Ever since I had a child, my life revolves around the child as soon as I get off work.

“Something happened.” Li Yingtang recounted what had happened and mentioned that the captain had asked her to climb over the wall: “I still don’t understand why he asked me to climb over the wall. Did he suspect me of being the murderer?” If it weren’t for the fact that she knew Xi Yue and there were so many alibis these past few days…

She dared not report the matter rashly, because the first person to discover the situation would most likely be considered the murderer.

She was absolutely certain that she would dare to be the first to call the police.

After thinking for a moment, Jia Yan said, "Perhaps they think you're covering for someone else."

Li Yingtang thought about it and realized it was indeed possible.

Jia Yan continued, "There aren't many women who practice martial arts, and those who reach your level are extremely rare. Why doesn't your family make you join the army?"

Li Yingtang snapped out of her thoughts: "It's too risky. My parents are both only children, and there were very few children in the previous generation. I'm also ten years younger than my brother. How could the elders bear to let me do that kind of work? Besides, I'm not interested in it." She liked doing accounting, counting money, and manipulating the market.

Jia Yan: "Your parents have never come."

Li Yingtang's eyes flashed: "They're busy, you'll have time to see them. I have some things to do, you take care of the child." She went into the study.

I spent the whole afternoon inside.

When Qin Xian got off work in the evening, she learned about Li Yingtang's situation during the day from Jia Yan and found her to comfort her: "Did you hear from the child's grandfather? Are you scared?"

Li Yingtang: "It was alright, just a bit nauseating. That smell made everything smell wrong to me today. I almost threw up after drinking the medicine soup that Auntie brought. The blood on her face was black, and her complexion was ashen, it was especially creepy. How do you think she died?"

Qin Xian pondered, "Without seeing it with my own eyes, I can't really judge. From what you've said, it sounds like poisoning, but it could also be a heart condition triggered by the shock."

"Can heart disease cause vomiting blood?"

"The blood may not be hers; it could be the murderer's."

Li Yingtang: "My money is gone, and I'm dead. Who's going to compensate me?"

Qin Xian: "How much?"

Li Yingtang: "Nearly a thousand."

Qin Xian: "Let me ask."

Li Yingtang: "Next time, I still can't hand over my salary to the accountant. If someone targets me, losing money is a small matter, but losing my life would mean owing someone a debt for nothing."

Qin Xian: "She's getting paid by you and doing things for you, so it's not like you owe her anything."

Li Yingtang felt comforted, but still felt guilty. She planned to arrange for someone to visit Zhu Mingcui's family to offer condolences after the murderer was caught, and offered to provide financial assistance if the children in the family had difficulties with their studies.

Qin Xian then said, "Auntie has prepared the food, would you like some?"

“I can’t eat. I’ll take care of the baby. Let your dad eat.” Li Yingtang left the study and went into the nursery to relieve Jia Yan.

About an hour later.

Qin Xian went upstairs, carrying a black medicinal soup in her hand.

Li Yingtang protested: "I already drank at noon, why are you drinking again?"

Qin Xian: "It's an appetizer. Smell it carefully. It's not Chinese medicine. After drinking it, you won't remember the smell of a corpse."

Li Yingtang took it and drank a sip; it was sweet and sour.

It was indeed appetizing; the lingering smell of corpses in my nose dissipated, and I felt hungry.

After drinking the appetizer soup, she went downstairs to eat her normal meal.
