Hu Pingtao keenly grasped the key details in this sentence: "What kind of car is she referring to? A bicycle, a motorcycle, or a car?"

"Bus." Li Bowen replied: "I remember very clearly, Zhang Yacui's original words at that time were: Can you repair the big cars like those in our school?"

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "You answered "can cultivate" at that time, what did Zhang Yacui say?"

Li Bowen shook his head: "She didn't say anything, and the matter just passed... The next day, she found me alone and said she wanted to learn to repair cars with me."

Lu Xiaoxu felt as if he had grasped something key: "She wants to repair the car in your school?"

"Yes." Li Bowen nodded: "I thought she was joking at the time, but in order to save face, I promised to take her to my dad's repair shop on weekends. But Zhang Yacui said that there was no need to go to that trouble, there is a ready-made bus in the school

.It happened that no one was in the garage at that time, so she and I were asked to sneak in and give some guidance."

Hu Pingtao expressed doubts about this: "A novice who has never touched machinery, what kind of guidance does she need?"

Li Bowen was also confused about this: "I didn't understand either, so I followed her to the garage. It felt like she was seducing me and kept pressing her body against me. Then she found some objects from the corner of the garage and stood on them.

Windows, let me explain to her the various mechanisms in the cab."

Lu Xiaoxu was also confused: "If she wants to understand the operation of machinery, wouldn't it be better for her to buy a book and read it herself?"

Li Bowen replied: "That's what I said too. But Zhang Yacui said that she had read the book, but she couldn't understand many parts and needed me to explain it in person."

Hu Pingtao thought of other aspects: "What questions did she ask at that time?"

Li Bowen fell into memories: "Zhang Yacui's questions were a bit complicated, and I felt like I was rambling here and there. Clutch, brake, mailbox... By the way, the thing she asked the most about was the brake. I explained to her in detail the working principle of the brake, as well as the relationship between the big car and the big car.

The difference between small cars in this aspect.”

Hu Pingtao continued to ask: "Can Zhang Yacui drive?"

Lu Xiaoxu glanced sideways at him; "The rules for applying for a driver's license in Hong Kong are the same as those in the mainland. You must be over 18 years old."

"You didn't understand what I meant." Hu Pingtao explained: "I asked whether Zhang Yacui can drive, not whether she has a driver's license."

Lu Xiaoxu suddenly realized.

Li Bowen was more proactive this time: "Zhang Yacui mentioned to me several times that she wanted to learn to drive. I said there was nothing I could do about it. But she said that since my dad runs a repair shop, he just needs to find an acquaintance to help teach him.

That’s all she needs.”

Hu Pingtao asked: "How did you reply?"

Li Bowen said: "I said this was impossible. Nowadays, the control of driving license examination is stricter than before. Once caught on the road without a license, everyone has to go in with him. So I never agreed to her, but later she saw that I was very determined.

I didn’t mention it again.”

Hu Pingtao has one last question, which is also the most critical question: "Why didn't you participate in the outing that day?"

"I'm very scared." When the matter reached this point, Li Bowen had nothing to hide. His face showed unprecedented ease, and the rhythm and tone of his speech became much more normal: "Zhang Yacui has been pestering me, either asking me for money or asking for money.

She wants me to do something for her."

Lu Xiaoxu expressed doubts about this: "These reasons seem unjustifiable, right?"

Li Bowen lowered his head, feeling a little depressed, and you could see the anger brewing in his body: "You don't understand... The person I like is Yao Xinqiu, and I have always been like this. Xinqiu and Zhang Yacui are very good friends,

So Zhang Yacui and I have a very close relationship. Especially after we entered middle school, we often made appointments to eat and go shopping together. Xinqiu is a few months older than Zhang Yacui and has always treated her as a younger sister. I used to think Zhang Yacui was lively and cute, and since then

Never thought of anything else.”

Lu Xiaoxu said sarcastically: "But you still sleep together."

"I know, it's all my fault." Li Bowen pulled his hair hard with both hands, crying unwillingly and frustratedly. The voice of regret and repentance came from his mouth at the same time: "Xinqiu and I have been together for several years, except for the last step.

, we have done everything we should do, and we have everything we should have. To be honest, there is no other man around Xinqiu. She has also determined that she will definitely marry me in the future. Because of this, I feel a little tired of her.

, it can also be said to be aesthetic fatigue.”

Lu Xiaoxu looked at him coldly: "So when faced with Zhang Yacui's temptation, you did not refuse. You can even be said to be very proactive."

Li Bowen's voice became deeper and deeper: "I know she is not clean. Zhang Yacui has been hanging out a long time ago. That night I found out that she was not a virgin. She said at the time, "You don't need to be responsible. I just like you very much and am very greedy."

Yao Xinqiu, I want you." I believed it, but I didn't expect that she secretly took a photo of me with her mobile phone when I wasn't paying attention, and used this to threaten me to leave Yao Xinqiu and choose her instead."

"I didn't take what she said seriously at all. A woman like her will sleep when she sleeps. But then again, I was still worried in the first few days. After all, she had my

If the photo is seen by Xinqiu and my family, the situation will definitely get worse. But I still know Xinqiu quite well. She is the kind of person who can be coaxed by just saying more nice things and having a better attitude.

Girl, as long as her mother doesn’t see those photos, things can still be undone.”

"So I didn't dare to go against Zhang Yacui's wishes and honestly gave her some money. Who knew that her appetite was getting bigger and bigger, and it was like a bottomless pit. If this continues, even if I sell myself, I won't be able to satisfy her requirements...

...After much thought, I decided to have a showdown with her."

"I asked her out that night. I originally wanted to have a good talk so that we could get together and relax. At worst, I would give her another sum of money. Even if it was a loan shark, I would give it to her. But her attitude was very firm and she said she would do it no matter what.

She wants me to be her boyfriend and get married right after graduation... This is no joke, I don't like her at all, there's no way we can maintain that kind of relationship forever after sleeping with her once."

"Zhang Yacui can't compare to Yao Xinqiu in any aspect, and she's just average-looking. Getting married... is impossible even if you think about it."

"I was getting more and more annoyed by her pestering, so I gave her a slap in the face. Zhang Yacui didn't say anything, turned around and ran away."

"The next day, I was blocked by several people on my way home. They beat me up, and then Zhang Yacui showed up. She told me that it was okay to break up, but she had to give her a breakup fee."

Lu Xiaoxu nodded slightly, these things were very reasonable: "How much does she want?"

"Five million." Li Bowen was panting. His face was red and his mouth was open, like a fish that was nearly suffocated due to lack of oxygen: "I...where can I have so much money?"

Hu Pingtao watched the changes in his expression and asked seriously: "What happened next?"

Li Bowen buried his whole head in his folded arms and let out a low cry: "I really had no choice, so I begged her to eat less. But she told me that it must be within a limited time...that is, two

Give her the money within a week. Otherwise, I will make the photos and test results public and let everyone know my true face."

"I was frightened and kept begging her."

"She ignored them at all and turned around and left with those people."

"I finally see clearly that even if Zhang Yacui is not everyone's woman, she is still my eldest brother's woman. I really regret that I was blind and had a relationship with someone like her and was caught by her."

"I scraped together some things, and used various excuses to defraud some money from my parents, and finally got together 160,000 to give to her. Zhang Yacui asked when the rest of the money would be given... I was very energetic during those days.

I am haggard and have no energy no matter what I do. As a person, I have a temper to some extent. When she urged me, I also became angry. Let’s get straight to the point.

Tell her honestly: Anyway, I have no money. If you are willing, just wait for me to slow down. Anyway, with my family background, I can get more than 300,000 yuan. But if things go wrong and my parents find out, then

I won’t give you a penny, and maybe I’ll call the police and accuse you of blackmail, asking you to spit out all the money you have left of the hundreds of thousands.”

"Zhang Yacui is a smart person. She knew that I didn't lie to her, and she probably felt that I had reached the bottom of being exploited. Any further stimulation would only be detrimental to her, so she didn't continue to ask me for money."

"Later, she asked me to help her with something, which was to let teachers and classmates choose Xiaofengshan as an outing destination. Zhang Yacui said that as long as this was done, the more than 300,000 yuan would be written off."

"I promised to help her do it. But I have been wondering why. Based on my understanding of Zhang Yacui, she is a woman who has no profit and cannot afford to get up early. I have been to Xiaofeng Mountain before. Although the scenery there is beautiful,

It's very remote. There are only a few cabins and some temporary earth stoves for tourists to barbecue. I don't understand why she did this. I was very scared and instinctively wanted to stay away from her, so before the outing I

I went to the hospital and got a fever certificate."

Lu Xiaoxu frowned and asked, "Did you pay the doctor to give you a false certificate?"

Li Bowen shook his head, his expression a little confused: "I went to a teahouse next to the hospital in advance and drank a lot of tea... the temperature was very high, very hot. I made an appointment in advance, and after entering, I took my temperature first, and then

I told the doctor that there were still classes at school and I had to go back in a hurry, so I didn’t do any other tests. The doctor issued a certificate based on the temperature measurement."

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but laugh: "I didn't realize that you could do this."

Relying on body temperature detection alone can easily lead to pathological misdiagnosis. Most hospital examinations now require blood tests, especially for common diseases such as "cold and fever", which are rarely judged by body temperature.

Speaking of which, Li Bowen is also a smart person, but he just didn't go the right way.

After thinking for a moment, Hu Pingtao asked seriously: "You have more contact with Zhang Yacui. Let's talk about your views from your perspective! Why do you think... Zhang Yacui did this?"

Li Bowen shook his head in fear: "I don't know."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand and made a comforting gesture: "Don't be nervous. What I mean is, whether you know it or not, analyze the problem from your perspective - why did she choose the outing destination?

In Xiaofengshan?"

Li Bowen thought for a long time and said slowly: "I'm not sure... I also guessed... Could it be that Zhang Yacui wanted to deal with Yao Xinqiu, so she chose Xiaofengshan?"

Hu Pingtao asked doubtfully: "How to deal with Yao Xinqiu? How to deal with him?"

Li Bowen looked distressed: "I really don't know...I told you I was just guessing. Zhang Yacui is very familiar with the people on the road, and she wants to be with me wholeheartedly, so that's why I think so."

At this point, things reached a deadlock again.

The clues dug out from Li Bowen's mouth are indeed related to the car accident case. But neither Hu Pingtao nor Lu Xiaoxu understand what role Zhang Yacui played in it?

The best and most direct way to deal with it is to catch Zhang Yacui and ask him.

But she happened to die.

The two looked at each other, and Hu Pingtao whispered to Lu Xiaoxu: "That's it for now!"

The latter nodded knowingly, turned sideways and gave a few instructions to the recorder, stood up and left the interrogation room.

…

Returning to the reception room, Lu Xiaoxu sighed and knitted his brows: "Why do I feel that this case is getting more and more complicated."

Hu Pingtao said while thinking: "Li Bowen should not be the murderer, and there is no reason to manipulate all this behind the scenes."

Lu Xiaoxu asked: "Are you so sure?"
