This news is definitely a bombshell!

Hu Pingtao took out his mobile phone, turned on the recording, and said to Liao Yan: "Tell me the whole story in detail."

Liao Yan said: "That was when Cao Zhong and his wife first moved here... Oh, no, Cao Zhong should have come first, and Liu Xiao'e came later."

Pang Zhonghua listened a little anxiously and kept complaining: "Look at you, you can't even speak clearly. Why did you come here later? They are a couple."

Liao Yan glared at him: "You're the only smart one! I'm not talking nonsense! Cao Zhong did come to get it. He rented a house in the wholesale market to do business. At first, he was alone, and later Liu Xiao'e and Liu Xiao'e were involved in the business.

Bring the child. What, am I right?"

Pang Zhonghua was obviously a little afraid of his wife and did not dare to argue with Liao Yan. He waved his hand: "Okay, okay, okay, it's up to you."

Liao Yan ignored him and continued to say to Hu Pingtao: "Liu Xiao'e came later. When I saw her for the first time, I felt really guilty because Liu Xiao'e has a very good figure and is absolutely beautiful from behind. But she is very beautiful from behind.

Her face...how should I put it, her facial features feel uncoordinated no matter how you look at them. It’s not that she is born with a disability, but it just makes people feel uncomfortable.”

Hu Pingtao felt the same way. He had seen Liu Xiao'e in the hospital and also read the hospital's medical records - Liu Xiao'e was born with a congenital harelip. She was later treated and sutured, but she did not recover well after the operation and there were scars left.

, and a slight lip split.

She has a severe squint in her right eye. When you are face to face, it feels like she is looking at you and another person at the same time.

Also, her nostrils are large and pointed upward, which is commonly known as "upturned nose".

When she was in the hospital before, Liu Xiao'e was covered with a quilt, so it was impossible to tell what her figure was. But the attending doctor said: This woman is of average appearance.

This is already a very face-saving statement.

There is no conflict of interest between Liao Yan and Liu Xiao'e. The two families are still neighbors. Liao Yan is outspoken and has no scruples when speaking, so from this point of view, her statement is fair.

"Actually, many people in this market like Liu Xiao'e. I mean if you look at her from the back, if you look at her from the front, men will almost have to walk around when they see her."

After saying that, Liao Yan raised her foot and kicked Pang Zhonghua's calf: "My family is no exception."

Pang Zhonghua shouted angrily: "You just say what you want, why are you trying to bully me?"

Liao Yan obviously had a good grasp of her husband's temperament, and she calmly glared at him: "I'm telling the truth, I'm not talking nonsense. Ever since Liu Xiao'e moved here, I mean the first few days after she came here, she

Wearing a mask, you look at people like a hungry tiger pouncing on food, your eyes are glued to the back of their buttocks and you can’t move away.”

Pang Zhonghua was anxious: "Don't talk nonsense! The police comrades understand the situation, so don't come up with all the nonsense."

Liao Yan raised her hand to smooth her hair, and said with a faint smile: "You men, don't let others tell you what you dare to do, hum! I'm not talking nonsense! You, Lao Li who sells tea, Lao Hong who sells raisins

, and Lao Peng, the almond seller at Gate No. 2, you usually get together.

Either drinking tea or playing mahjong, talking about women. Don’t think that I don’t know anything. You just talk about which company in the market has beautiful women, which company’s men are not good at that, and which company makes how much money... Huh,

A group of big men are more gossipy than a mother-in-law."

"You...you..." Pang Zhonghua pointed at Liao Yan, his face full of anger, but he couldn't say a word.

Liao Yan raised her hand and patted the back of his hand gently: "Okay! I just said it casually and complained a little. I didn't expose your old background."

As she said that, she turned to Hu Pingtao and said with a smile: "Officer, don't worry, I just said it casually. This woman Liu Xiao'e... her appearance and figure are really eye-catching. Even though she is just a rural woman, she is actually very pretty."

There is scheming."

Hu Pingtao asked calmly: "What you say must be well-founded and cannot be fabricated. It must be based on facts."

Liao Yan nodded: "I'm really not talking nonsense. My impression of Liu Xiao'e was quite good at first. After all, we both do business in the same market. She has her family and I have my man. We are on the same page.

So my impression of her changed because she had a fight with her man that time and was beaten to death by Cao Zhong."

"I was really too busy, so I asked her to help me look after the store. Two to three thousand yuan a month, I admit, the offer was a bit low. After all, I hired a worker from outside to look after the store, and he paid for it every month.

It costs at least 3,500 to live in. But I usually stay in the store, that is, I ask her for help when I go out, and it only takes three or four days a week."

"Let's not talk about money. Let's just talk about Liu Xiao'e being beaten by Cao Zhong."

Hearing this, Pang Zhonghua felt that there was something in Liao Yan's words, so he quickly intervened and asked: "Why, is there any secret behind Cao Zhong's beating of his wife?"

Liao Yan nodded: "After Liu Xiao'e was beaten that day, people from the subdistrict office and the Women's Federation came to find out more about the situation. The market management office called Liu Xiao'e over for questioning. I happened to be in the office next door to pay the rent for the second half of the year.

I listened for a while."

"Liu Xiao'e had made friends with the people from the Women's Federation. She said: The money I paid to hire her here was secretly kept by her for a private house without telling Cao Zhong, so her husband was very angry and almost beat her until she couldn't even get out of bed.

.”

Hu Pingtao narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you sure these were Liu Xiao'e's original words at that time?"

There is a difference between "beating him until he couldn't even get out of bed" and "almost beating him to death". If he hadn't spent so long in the police station and handled hundreds of civil disputes, Hu Pingtao would have really

Can't hear the difference between the two sentences.

The former shows that although the beater looks fierce, he is actually merciful. Although Liu Xiao'e was beaten all over with bruises, they were all superficial and no muscles or bones were injured. As long as some medicine is applied, the pain will be fine after a few days.

The latter is really life-threatening.

After all, they are husband and wife, and they know everything about her. No matter how angry Cao Zhong is, he can't kill his wife.

Liao Yan saw the serious look on Hu Pingtao's face, so she also became serious: "These are her exact words." Liu Xiao'e also said: Cao Zhong is in charge of all the money in the family. In addition to buying rice and vegetables, there is usually an extra

I wouldn’t even keep any cents for myself. So that day I asked her to help look after the store, thinking that I could get thousands of extra dollars a month, and Liu Xiao’e was moved at that time.”

Hu Pingtao carefully searched for available clues in his mind and asked: "So, Liu Xiao'e has already had the idea of ​​divorcing Cao Zhong?"

Liao Yan sighed: "After the people from the street office learned about the situation that day, I saw Liu Xiao'e walking behind, so I ran over and grabbed her, and took her outside to find a coffee shop to chat."

Hu Pingtao couldn't help but wonder: "Coffee shop? Why do you think of going to that kind of place?"

Some things can be judged by appearance. Neither Liao Yan nor Liu Xiao'e look like people who go to cafes.

Liao Yan said frankly: "I used to graduate from Yunnan University. I don't like the kind of environment where I sit in work and office. So after I graduated, I helped find a few jobs at home, but I didn't like them.

, I didn’t like it, so I didn’t go. Alas... Speaking of it, I was too arrogant. When I was young, I ate, drank and had fun, but later I realized that there was no future if I continued to play like this. When I wanted to go to work, I couldn’t keep up when I was older.

Come on. I really have no choice but to find someone to marry."

Having said this, she turned her head and looked at Pang Zhonghua: "I didn't mean to belittle you! In fact, I still like you quite a lot, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get the certificate with you and spend so many years together."

Pang Zhonghua rolled his eyes at her and sat beside her, feeling depressed. He knew that his wife was just talking and had no ill intentions.

Liao Yan continued to tell Hu Pingtao: "I like drinking coffee very much. Because I usually play mahjong with my friends and drink strong tea or coffee. I think coffee refreshes me quickly, so I often order Starbucks

Or Luckin’s takeout.”

"Opposite the wholesale market is the commercial street, and there is a Lujiao Lane branch over there. I happened to listen to Liu Xiao'e talking with people from the Women's Federation that day, and I also wanted to have a good chat with her, so I took her to the cafe."

Speaking of this, Liao Yan suddenly became mysterious and lowered her voice: "When I went in that day, I didn't think about ordering coffee for Liu Xiao'e at first. Because I thought she was a woman from the countryside and was not experienced, let alone...

After drinking it, I’m afraid I don’t even know what coffee is. So I ordered a mocha and a glass of juice for her.”

"Unexpectedly, she said at that time: She doesn't want juice, she wants a cappuccino, and she also wants to add sugar and milk."

"Cappuccino with sugar and milk?" Hu Pingtao was shocked when he heard this: "This is originally coffee with milk, and she wants to add an extra serving?"

Liao Yan continued to throw out more surprising ingredients: "I was surprised when I heard it, but what I didn't expect was still behind - Liu Xiao'e told the waiter that she wanted wet cappuccino without milk foam.

That kind of thing.”

Hu Pingtao leaned back and fell into deep thought again.

I have to admit that Liao Yan is indeed a wonderful person.

In comparison, the news from Pang Zhonghua seemed dull... But no matter what, finding Pang Zhonghua today and learning about these situations from Liao Yan was an unexpected gain.

After half a minute, Hu Pingtao asked Liao Yan: "How do you feel about Liu Xiao'e?"

When dealing with people, one must first look at each other's impressions. The reason why Hu Pingtao put aside the eucalyptus and asked this first was, of course, because the information provided by Liao Yan was very confidential; on the other hand, she and she were both women.

Liao Yan smiled and said frankly: "Okay! There are no outsiders here anyway, so I'll just tell you!"

"When I first saw Liu Xiao'e, I felt amazing. When I was in college, there was a girl in our class who was very beautiful... She must have been very beautiful. From figure to appearance, she was impeccable. First of all,

The one who can only stare at her as soon as he sees her."

"I happened to be guarding the store that day, and Lao Pang was not there. Cao Zhong brought Liu Xiao'e over, saying that he wanted to recognize the door. After all, we are all neighbors, and we will take care of each other from now on. Liu Xiao'e has a very good figure, and the clothes she is wearing are very old.

, the color is also very dark, but she is very good at tailoring.”

"Let's just talk about the most common dark blue coat! It was very common in the village in the past. It looks a bit like a Chinese tunic suit and a bit like a suit. I think the one she is wearing is quite old, maybe it was from earlier.

, a "refugee uniform" from more than ten or twenty years ago. But the waist part was obviously modified. It hugged her body tightly, from her chest to her waist to her buttocks, protruding and recessing, no matter the front, side or back.

, keep it so you can’t forget it once you take a look at it.”

"Liu Xiao'e has been wearing a mask since that day. No matter whether we meet her in the store or outside, she always does this and never takes off the mask. At first, I thought she had mysophobia and kept praising her for her beauty even in front of others.

He said that Cao Zhong was lucky to have found such a beautiful wife. But no matter what the occasion, Liu Xiao'e just smiled and talked casually and passed on."

When Hu Pingtao heard this, he circled this passage in red pen on his notebook, then raised his head and asked: "In other words, Liu Xiao'e never takes off her mask in front of outsiders?"

"Yes." Liao Yan nodded: "Although she is a rural woman, she pays great attention to image. If she and I were not alone that day and there was no one else at home, Liu Xiao'e would not deliberately let me know what she looked like.

"

"To be honest, the moment she took off the mask, I was still a little panicked."

Hu Pingtao had some doubts in his heart: "You mean, Liu Xiao'e took the initiative to tell you that her appearance is very different from what you imagined?"

Liao Yan hesitated for a moment and nodded: "I have a cheerful temperament and have good relationships with people around me. I guess Liu Xiao'e keeps her appearance as a secret, but this kind of thing will come to light sooner or later. Masks can't last forever

Should I take it off or not? So she thinks it’s easy for me to talk! Just let me know first, and then it won’t seem so sudden when I tell others.”

"I felt a little uneasy at the time. There was an old movie, and I couldn't remember the title right away. There was a scene in it where the heroine took off her mask to reveal the scars on her face, just like this."

"Liu Xiao'e usually walks with her head down, and few people notice that her eyes are squinting. That day I looked at her like this, and there was something wrong with her lips, her nose, and her eyes... Oh, I don't even know what to say.

Okay. If it were me, I would just spend 100,000 yuan on plastic surgery."

"I have a friend who is a cosmetologist. In fact, Liu Xiao'e's problems, I mean her mouth and nose, are easy to fix. It's not certain whether the problem on her eyes can be done, but as long as she is willing to spend money, she can get it done on her nose.

One knife, lip scar removal, plus her figure, she will be able to score at least seventy points after the operation."

"Plastic surgery?" Hu Pingtao frowned and asked, "You want her to have plastic surgery?"
