"Then I'll call and ask Xu Ruobei if she can come over!" Seeing this, Gu Xiaofan's first reaction was to contact Ren Xuefeng's wife.
Zhong Han also nodded in agreement: "That's right, call her over, I also want to ask why she hasn't taken the initiative to give us the contact information of Ren Xuefeng's ex-wife."
After explaining the surveillance video clearly, Tang Li completed his mission, especially when he heard that the family of the deceased would come to identify the video next, he quickly stood up, put on his coat and nodded to Zhong Han, saying: "The rest is up to you, I'll go out and continue to investigate the situation before Ren Xuefeng disappeared."
After that, he left in a hurry, leaving Zhong Han confused.
"You will get used to it slowly in the future. Tang Li doesn't like to talk, especially with strangers. He just said so many words to us just now, but he was forced to explain the situation." Gu Xiaofan didn't think it was strange that Tang Li left the rest of the things to them and left alone. He helped Zhong Han explain the situation and said, "You will understand it slowly in the future."Zhong Han nodded and didn't ask any more questions.After a while, Xu Ruobei came again. This time she was wearing black clothes from head to toe, her hair was simply tied behind her head, and even the rubber band for tying the braid was black. She didn't wear makeup on her face, and her bloodless lips made her look more haggard than the last time they met."I came here as soon as I received the call." After entering the door, she nodded to Gu Xiaofan.From the time Gu Xiaofan called her to inform her to come to now, only half an hour has passed. It can be seen that Xu Ruobei did come as quickly as she said."Sit here!" Gu Xiaofan quickly let her sit next to the desk, asked Xu Ruobei to sit in front of the computer, pointed to the surveillance video on the screen and said to her, "We will play this surveillance video for you repeatedly. You can watch it many times. Don't worry about the time. Please look carefully to see if the person in the surveillance video is Ren Xuefeng."Xu Ruobei nodded, biting her lower lip lightly with her teeth, and said nothing. She sat at the table with a serious expression and browsed the surveillance video with the help of Gu Xiaofan. Zhong Han leaned against the table, watching the exchange between Xu Ruobei and Gu Xiaofan without saying a word, and occasionally looked at the video content on the computer monitor.During the repeated playback of the surveillance video, Xu Ruobei had not said anything. The only times she spoke were to ask Gu Xiaofan to stop the video or rewind it. After watching it over and over again, she finally nodded and said to Gu Xiaofan with red eyes: "It's him. The person in the video is my husband Ren Xuefeng.""Are you sure?" Although Gu Xiaofan had helped Xu Ruobei to watch the surveillance video many times, he still confirmed it with her again for the sake of safety.Xu Ruobei nodded: "After all, we have lived together for seven years, more than two thousand days and nights, it is impossible for me not to recognize my own man, not to mention that the clothes worn by the person in the surveillance video are exactly the same as what Xuefeng wore that day.""It was almost two months ago. Are you still so impressed by Ren Xuefeng's dress that night?" Zhong Han asked intentionally or unintentionally.Xu Ruobei looked up at him. Ever since Zhong Han asked her about Ren Xuefeng's ex-wife last time, Xu Ruobei seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhong Han. She had been turning a blind eye to him since this time. Now that Zhong Han asked her this, she seemed a little unhappy. She was worried that it would be inconvenient to show too much resistance and could not continue to turn a deaf ear. She replied in a cold tone: "It's nothing strange. It's my husband who is missing, not an irrelevant outsider. Since I couldn't contact him, I have recalled many times about when I last saw him and what happened that day. I also hope to find some signs to help me figure out where my husband went and why he suddenly left without saying goodbye. So the repeated memories and speculations will naturally have a deeper impression of what happened during that period."Gu Xiaofan felt that what Xu Ruobei said made sense. He looked at Zhong Han again. Seeing that he had no intention of saying anything else, he continued to ask: "Then what did Ren Xuefeng do on the day recorded by the surveillance camera? Do you still remember it? ?"Xu Ruobei glanced at the computer screen again and nodded: "It was about the same. That day, probably Wednesday, was similar to usual. I worked at the company during the day, and Xuefeng... was also similar to usual, running between the company and the factory. Then in the afternoon, he told me that he would entertain a few old customers in the evening, so I didn't need to wait for him, and he would be back later. This situation has happened before, so I didn't take it seriously and agreed. As a result, he didn't come back when I went to bed at night, and when I woke up the next morning, I was still alone at home. I didn't think much at the time, thinking that he was drunk and afraid that I would get angry with him when I went home in the middle of the night, so he went back to the company to spend the night, but the whole day the next day, I didn't see him at the company or at the factory, so I got a little anxious and started calling all over the world to find him. "Xu Ruobei's situation was roughly consistent with the situation she stated when she went to the public security bureau to report the case. Gu Xiaofan's focus naturally fell on the client who Ren Xuefeng had an appointment to meet the night before he disappeared."Do you know all the clients that Ren Xuefeng met that night?" she asked Xu Ruobei.Xu Ruobei nodded: "I know them. They are all old clients with whom we have business dealings. We have always had good cooperation. Last month, although Xuefeng disappeared and could not be found, they still signed a contract with us without breaking the contract.""Did you ask them about Ren Xuefeng's whereabouts afterwards?""Of course I did, but they didn't know. They just said that Xuefeng left on his own after the banquet. Other families don't know anything either.""I have a question that I don't know whether I should ask or not," Zhong Han listened silently for a long time, and now he spoke again. As soon as he opened his mouth, before he could speak, he had already attracted Xu Ruobei's dissatisfied glance, but Zhong Han didn't care about Xu Ruobei's expression at all, "I heard that your family's business is a husband-and-wife team, you and Ren Xuefeng are working together to manage it, then since it is very important "Is it strange?" Xu Ruobei couldn't help getting angry. She frowned and looked at Zhong Han. "Xuefeng is a serious businessman, not a small grocery store. After all, accompanying customers is also for business. If I follow him all the time, how will others see him? What's more, Xuefeng prefers men to work outside and women to work inside. He doesn't like me to show up too much in front of his customers. This is our lifestyle as a couple. Is there any problem?" "No problem, what you said is reasonable." Zhong Han faced Xu Ruobei's accusation without anxiety or annoyance. He nodded and expressed his understanding. "Then why do you ask me those questions?" Xu Ruobei didn't seem to want to give up. "Officer, I don't think I have had any contact with you before, and I am a complete stranger to you. So I don't know if it's because of my husband Ren Xuefeng's wealth, or the age difference between us, that you have a preconceived prejudice against me. I think many of the questions you asked seem to be deliberately targeting me, speculating me in a malicious direction, which makes me feel very insulted and uncomfortable.""Ms. Xu, don't think so. He doesn't mean that. No one here has prejudice against anyone. We are also standing from an objective perspective and want to figure out all the possibilities. That's all. We don't want to target anyone or wear tinted glasses to anyone." Gu Xiaofan hurriedly persuaded Xu Ruobei kindly, hoping that she would not get angry.Xu Ruobei listened to her consolation, her eyes turned red, and two lines of tears immediately burst out, flowing down her cheeks. She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, choking and saying: "In the years since I married Ren Xuefeng, everyone around me has prejudiced against me, thinking that I am the kind of woman who is greedy for money. No one cares about all my efforts and hard work. Everyone only focuses on the amount of money in my husband's bank and our age difference, pointing fingers at me and talking about me. No one can understand the grievances in my heart. In the two months since my husband disappeared, I have hardly had a good night's sleep, nor have I had a good meal. On the one hand, I have to continue to maintain the company. I had to run the company and the factory, and find out his whereabouts. I had to comfort myself and force myself not to think about the bad things. I received your call. After coming to identify the body, I couldn't help but secretly hope in my heart that I was wrong, that the deformed body was not Xuefeng at all, and that you could call me and say that you made a mistake, that someone else was dead, and that my husband should still be alive and well. Including today, when I received your call, I still had such luck in my heart..."Speaking of this, she finally couldn't help it and sobbed with her face covered.Gu Xiaofan felt very uncomfortable when he heard her say this, and his eyes turned slightly red. He quickly leaned down and comforted the crying Xu Ruobei softly."I'm sorry for not being able to take your feelings into consideration," Zhong Han was silent for a while and did not speak immediately. He waited until Xu Ruobei calmed down a little before saying to her, "I think the reason why you didn't contact us after you went back and give us feedback on the contact information of Ren Xuefeng's ex-wife was also based on the same consideration of expecting a miracle to happen, right?"
