As Hu Pingtao listened, another thought suddenly came to his mind: "Are they just quarreling verbally? Have they ever fought?"

Father Gong hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I did."

Hu Pingtao quickly lowered his head to record.

Here, Gong's father's voice was lower than before: "At first, it was Liao Cunxue who did it, but... he couldn't beat Xinxia."

Hu Pingtao said "Huh" and then woke up. He quickly stopped the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at the other party in confusion.

Father Gong explained: "Xinxia is very strong. She is a pastry maker. She used to do all the kneading and ingredients in the store. Her arms are thick and her hands are strong... I went to see her once.

, Just in time for the quarrel between the couple, Xinxia grabbed Xiao Liao's shoulders, slapped him twice with her right hand, and beat Xiao Liao so hard that he fell on the sofa on the spot... Oh..."

Hu Pingtao asked noncommittally: "You didn't even try to persuade me when you were there?"

"I definitely need to persuade him!" Father Gong said frankly: "I quite like Xiao Liao as my son-in-law. The problem is that Xinxia doesn't listen to my advice! She told me to leave it alone, and she won't listen to anything I say next to her."

A picture of a strong woman training her husband flashed in Hu Pingtao's mind.

"The cover-up job is well done..." He shook his head and whispered to himself.

This is based on the previous visit to Yanhe New Village - the neighbors upstairs and downstairs said that the young couple had a very good relationship and almost never quarreled.

Behind closed doors, many things cannot be understood by outsiders.

"What happened next?" Hu Pingtao continued to ask.

"Later... Xinxia ran to her parents' house more often." Gong's father said: "We all advised her that since she is married, she should discuss things with Xiao Liao carefully. I don't know if she listened to these words.

After listening to it, I went back later and it seemed that the noise didn’t continue anymore.”

I continued to ask for a while, but found nothing more.

Hu Pingtao put away the pen and paper and left a phone number for Gong's father: "This is my mobile phone number. If you think of anything, please call me."

Father Gong took the number, thanked her, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Officer, how did my girl die?"

Many family members of the deceased ask this question.

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Based on the evidence currently available, it should be caused by an accidental fall into the water."

When Father Gong heard this, his eye circles suddenly turned red: "No one has done anything to her?"

Hu Pingtao told the truth: "You should have seen the autopsy report. There is no problem in this regard."

Father Gong sighed, with an expression of incomprehension on his face: "Why is she going to the Wetland Park so late at night?"

This is also the question in Hu Pingtao's mind.

…

When I returned to the office, Zhou Changhao had already arrived.

Hu Pingtao didn't bother to eat, and quickly asked for the printed call records from him, and checked them carefully one by one.

"Have you checked Zhang Hao over there?" he asked without looking up.

"I checked." Zhou Changhao replied: "Zhang Hao has a record of renting a house in the provincial capital. He probably came here to work."

Hu Pingtao took out Gong's father's transcript from his briefcase and handed it to Zhou Changhao: "Let's exchange and take a look... Well, are there any photos of Zhang Hao?"

Zhou Changhao nodded: "Yes. He rented a house on Niujie last year. According to regulations, renters must upload the tenant's ID information. All the information is available on the computer."

As he said that, he handed over two pieces of paper: one was a copy of Zhang Hao's ID card, and the other was Zhang Hao's photo.

This is a middle-aged man with a strong face.

Hu Pingtao looked at the photo for a long time, then turned to Zhou Changhao and said, "Well, go and call Xiaomi."

He was referring to Mi Qiunan.

Zhou Changhao was stunned for a moment: "Xiaomi? She is in charge of computers, what do you ask her to do??"

Hu Pingtao glanced at him impatiently: "Go if I tell you to, don't chirp."

A few minutes later, Mi Qiunan walked into the office.

"Boss, are you looking for me?"

Hu Pingtao raised his finger and pointed at the chair opposite the desk: "Sit down and talk."

He reviewed the case in detail and introduced the current situation, especially the cause of Gong Xinxia's death and the Wetland Park. After saying all this, he looked at Mi Qiunan and asked: "Please help me do an analysis: If it were you who was the deceased, , what would have been said on the phone with Zhang Hao during that time period? Also, why did the deceased go to the Wetland Park at that time?"

Mi Qiunan was asked such a question that Monk Zhang Er was confused. He raised his finger and pointed at the tip of his nose: "I have never been involved in this case! Why do you want to ask me, boss?"

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "Some things can only be understood from a female perspective. Be a substitute, switch positions with Gong Xinxia, ​​and think about it seriously."

This case is really a headache for him.

Mainly, the two concepts of "accidental drowning" and "homicide" have been clashing in Hu Pingtao's mind. He had a feeling that Gong Xinxia's death was not accidental, but all the current evidence showed that she fell into the water accidentally.

If you look at the problem from another angle and analyze the case with another person, you may make special discoveries.

Mi Qiunan sat on a chair and thought hard: "It's late at night, it's cold and dark, and I have to run to the park...Boss, are you deliberately making things difficult for me? I don't have any experience in this area, okay?"

Hu Pingtao said calmly: "You have to think about it now. In such a special time, if you rush to a remote place like the Wetland Park, you must be to meet someone important, or for someone." An important item, an important thing... I have thought about the whole case from a male perspective, and now I want to hear your opinion."

Mi Qiunan pointed back at the tip of her nose: "Just because I'm a woman?"

Hu Pingtao nodded slowly and encouraged: "A woman's perspective is different from a man's, and everyone's logical thinking is also different. Speak confidently and boldly! It doesn't matter if you are wrong."

Mi Qiunan smiled and said, "Then I'll tell you what I said! Don't blame me if I told the wrong person. I think Gong Xinxia went to a place like the Wetland Park on the night of the incident... to meet... Someone?"

Zhou Changhao was listening and curled his lips with disdain: "What kind of analysis is this! I got Gong Xinxia's phone records from the telecommunications bureau. That night she received a call from a man named "Zhang Hao" I called him, and then I rode an electric bike out. If I were to meet someone in the park, it would definitely be Zhang Hao."

Hu Pingtao raised his head and glanced at him unhappily: "Don't interrupt. We all know that Gong Xinxia went out that night to meet Zhang Hao. But why did she do this? Why did Zhang Hao choose this special time to date Gong Xinxia? ?Isn’t it possible to do it in broad daylight? We have to wait until night, and the appointment is in a place with almost no lights like the Wetland Park?”

With that said, he turned to Mi Qiunan: "Ignore Lao Zhou, I'm talking about you."

Mi Qiunan still had a smile on her face. She turned her head to look at Zhou Changhao and explained: "I have heard some details of this case from the boss before. Gong Xinxia and Liao Cunxue have not been married for a long time, and they are in love.

Friends, we are considered newlyweds less than two years ago. Generally speaking, the relationship between husband and wife is the best in the first three months after marriage. The attraction to each other will gradually fade after half a year."

"I have read some books on psychological analysis. There are relevant cases on the harmonious model of family and marriage. Let's limit it to two years! After the novelty of marriage wears off, both husband and wife begin to realize each other's strengths and weaknesses. These

This is an aspect that is not noticed during a relationship and is deliberately concealed. Living under the same roof and eating from the same bowl, there is no room to hide personal shortcomings.

, both husband and wife will also experience a thought transformation process from surprise to disgust. In a completely transparent and close living situation, full of expectations will turn into disappointment, but most people will choose to ignore it because they are already married and divorced.

It is a heavy topic, and it also means destroying the current living situation and looking for a new spouse that is more suitable for you."

Zhou Changhao frowned: "Xiaomi, you are simply talking nonsense! The boss asked you about your opinion on the case, but you rambled on about marriage and divorce... I remind you, you are off topic.

!”

Before Mi Qiunan could reply, Hu Pingtao waved at Zhou Changhao from the side: "How come you have no patience at all? Sit tight and don't interrupt."

He immediately turned to Mi Qiunan: "Go on."

Looking at the depressed Zhou Changhao, Mi Qiunan covered her mouth and snickered for a moment, then sat up straight: "Boss, you said before that you learned something from Gong Xinxia's father. The relationship between Gong Xinxia and Liao Cunxue is far from

It seems so simple on the surface. The couple often quarreled, and even fought behind closed doors, and Liao Cunxue was no match for Gong Xinxia in this regard."

"For a man, you can't talk to him and you can't beat him. What's more important is that the other person is a woman. This is a very depressing thing."

"Liao Cunxue wanted to buy a house but didn't have enough money, so he had to ask Gong Xinxia to borrow money. In his opinion, this was normal, because they were married, and the husband and wife should help each other. But he never expected that Gong Xinxia would refuse his loan.

Money demands.”

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "So on this issue, Liao Cunxue feels that he is inferior to Gong Xinxia."

Mi Qiunan said seriously: "As the saying goes: the male leads the outside, the female leads the inside. Gong Xinxia used to work in a dim sum shop, with strong working ability and high income. Her shortcomings are that she has an ordinary appearance and a fat body. Generally speaking,

Men will not like a woman like her. If it were not for the above-mentioned advantages, Liao Cunxue would not marry her."

"I think so! The reason why Liao Cunxue chose Gong Xinxia is largely because of her money. Of course, Liao Cunxue is not a high-quality man. Although he is a demolition household, he does not have much property in his name. What if..."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao raised his eyebrows, interrupted Mi Qiunan, and asked: "Do you think Liao Cunxue is the murderer?"

Mi Qiunan said frankly: "Based on the current situation, Liao Cunxue had sufficient motive to kill. However, the biggest problem is that he did not have time to commit the crime."

These words scratched Hu Pingtao's itch.

Liao Cunxue came to the police station to report the case and claimed that he felt this way when Gong Xinxia disappeared.

But as Mi Qiunan said: Liao Cunxue did not have time to commit the crime.

This has also become an important criterion for Hu Pingtao to measure whether it is "homicide" or "accident".

He looked at Mi Qiunan and smiled softly: "Go on."

Mi Qiunan said: "Although I have never dealt with Liao Cunxue, judging from the records, he is a suspicious man. I can't judge how much love he has for Gong Xinxia, ​​or whether he is simply getting married for the sake of marriage. As far as I know

As you know, many men and women get married and start families, not because of love at the beginning, but because they think they are okay, so they get the red book together."

Hu Pingtao agrees with this: "Getting married now is easier than in the past. Many young people regard marriage as playing house, and marriage in their eyes is far less sacred than the elderly think. Get married if you feel good today, and if you feel better tomorrow

If it doesn't work, get divorced, it's just like eating and drinking."

Mi Qiunan nodded: "I think this is the reason why Liao Cunxue was willing to get married in the first place. On the other hand, Gong Xinxia might have the same idea. Anyway, the sweet period after the couple got married did not last long, and then they developed

to quarrels and fights.”

"From the perspective of a fellow woman, I feel that Gong Xinxia's attitude towards Liao Cunxue has changed seriously. It is no longer disgust in the ordinary sense, but disgust."
