The mint candy he had just received was chewed up and swallowed by someone, who gave him a "smell of toothpaste" comment. Gu Xiaofan felt a little aggrieved, so he didn't say anything to Zhong Han along the way. Zhong Han seemed to see that his words really made this good-tempered female colleague unhappy, so he also knew what to do and didn't provoke Gu Xiaofan again. The two of them finally arrived at Xu Ruobei's house in peace.
Zhong Han and his friends didn't call Xu Ruobei in advance. When they arrived at the residential area, they showed their identities at the door and registered for entry, then drove the car downstairs directly.Ren Xuefeng and Xu Ruobei have been married for seven years. Their house was built only about seven or eight years ago. It can still be regarded as a relatively young residential community. A visual camera is installed on the security door of the unit. Zhong Han rang the doorbell according to the house number of Xu Ruobei's house. After a while, someone came to answer the door. The person who answered the door was Xu Ruobei. Through the visual camera, she immediately recognized the two sudden visitors."Officer Zhong? Officer Gu? Why are you here?" Xu Ruobei asked in surprise on the other side of the microphone.Zhong Han couldn't see Xu Ruobei, but he still smiled at the position of the camera and said, "Sorry, I'm so presumptuous to come here so suddenly. There are some things I need to know from you. It's already this time. I guess you should be at home, so I came directly."There was silence on the other side of the receiver, and then the door lock of the unit security door clicked open. Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan opened the door and walked in. They took the elevator upstairs. When they arrived at the floor where Xu Ruobei's house was, her entrance door had been opened a crack.Before entering, Zhong Han knocked on the security door several times before reaching out to open the door. Xu Ruobei had already placed their slippers by the door, and she was standing by the door waiting for them.It had only been two days since they last met, and Xu Ruobei seemed to have lost weight and looked very bad. She was wearing a black knitted dress that reached her ankles, which made her face look even more pale.Gu Xiaofan greeted her and felt a little uncomfortable. So far, they have investigated three women around Ren Xuefeng. Ren Xuefeng's ex-wife Leng Hui was very calm in the face of their inquiries. Although Zhong Han said that Jingshui might be hiding a deeper crisis, at least nothing could be seen at present. Dai Mei, who had made a lot of money from Ren Xuefeng, was happily purchasing wedding rings with another man. Although Xu Ruobei had been married to Ren Xuefeng for a shorter time than Leng Hui, she was the woman who actually lived with Ren Xuefeng before the accident, so it seemed that she was the most directly affected.Therefore, when she thought of their purpose today, Gu Xiaofan felt a little reluctant, but she knew very well that no matter how reluctant she was, she could not avoid doing the work she should do.Sometimes, in the process of pursuing the truth, it may be destined to be cruel to some people."You two, please sit down." Xu Ruobei's attitude towards them was not enthusiastic, but she still maintained basic politeness. For Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan, this was the best effect they could ask for. After all, facing the pain of losing her husband, it was really weird to expect the other party to be in the mood to entertain guests.At this time, they noticed that in addition to Xu Ruobei, there was also a young man sitting in the living room. Facing the sudden visit of Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan, he seemed a little at a loss.The young man looked about 26 or 27 years old, wearing a hooded sweatshirt and jeans, a typical casual outfit. When Xu Ruobei asked Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan to sit in the living room, he stood up from the sofa awkwardly and said to Xu Ruobei: "Sister, how about... I go back first?""Who is this...?" Zhong Han looked at the young man and asked Xu Ruobei."This is my cousin Li Hua, my aunt's child. After Xuefeng's accident, I was alone here, and my family was worried. He happened to work in this city, so my aunt asked him to come and see me." Xu Ruobei introduced them, "These two are the police who are investigating your brother-in-law's case. Does my cousin need to avoid me?"Zhong Han greeted Li Hua and said to Xu Ruobei: "Since he is my cousin, he is a family member. If you don't think he needs to avoid me, we have no special requirements."Li Hua stood beside Xu Ruobei, not knowing whether he should leave or stay. He looked straight at Xu Ruobei. He was Xu Ruobei's cousin, but he didn't look like Xu Ruobei at all. Unlike Xu Ruobei's fair skin, Li Hua had a darker skin, was not short, and had thick bones. Although he was not strong, he looked like a big guy.In this case, having such a big cousin to help give courage is a good choice, Gu Xiaofan thought secretly in his heart."Then you can stay. You have to help me with other things later. You have been busy for me all day and haven't eaten yet. If I let you go like this, I will have no way to explain to my aunt." Xu Ruobei sighed and pulled Li Hua to sit down again. She was very polite, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that she actually hoped that someone could stay with her to face the unpleasant questioning that the police were about to start.Li Hua had no choice but to sit down on a single sofa at the edge of the living room under Xu Ruobei's request, pretending to be "I am just listening and will never interrupt."After Li Hua sat down, Xu Ruobei also sat down on the sofa next to him and asked Zhong Han and Gu Xiaofan: "What do you want to talk to me about? Didn't I give you the contact information of Xuefeng's ex-wife?""It's not that matter. We came here today for something else." Gu Xiaofan hurriedly explained, secretly shocked in his heart. This Xu Ruobei didn't seem to be an easy person to deal with. Zhong Han had upset her once because of the contact information of Leng Hui and her daughter. Two days later, she immediately fought back when they met."Is there anything else I can help you with?" Xu Ruobei frowned slightly.Gu Xiaofan didn't say anything. She turned to look at Zhong Han. The next topic she was going to ask was a bit explosive. According to the past practice, Xu Ruobei would definitely be very unhappy. If she opened her mouth and accidentally became cannon fodder, she would be powerless to resist. Zhong Han was a man, and his fighting ability was definitely much higher than hers. Therefore, based on the calculation of "I would rather die than my friend", Gu Xiaofan thought that it would be better to let Zhong Han do this. Anyway, he had offended Xu Ruobei a long time ago, so he might as well be a bad guy to the end.Zhong Han couldn't fail to see the little thoughts written on Gu Xiaofan's face. He glanced at her with a slight condemnation and said to Xu Ruobei: "I'm afraid that our purpose today will not make you feel particularly happy. If you feel offended by the topic later, I can apologize in advance. We came to you today to ask you about the other women around Ren Xuefeng. How much do you know?"Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ruobei's face immediately darkened. Zhong Han had already said the words of apology in front of her, and it was not convenient for her to get angry, so she had to stare at Zhong Han with a sullen face and said nothing."Sister..." Li Hua reached out and touched Xu Ruobei's arm, shaking her head, "I don't mean any harm, don't act on impulse at this time."Xu Ruobei took a few deep breaths, clasped her hands together, clenched them tightly, adjusted her breathing, and then said to Zhong Han: "I don't know if you heard any rumors, so you came to ask me this question. I don't want to answer this question. It's meaningless. Some people didn't dare to make rumors about Xuefeng when he was alive, and they took every opportunity to slander him after he died. Such people are too despicable. Those who are innocent are innocent. As police officers, please don't be confused by rumors.""If it was really rumors or groundless, I'm afraid we wouldn't come to disturb you on purpose. I know that as Ren Xuefeng's wife, you will definitely have resistance, especially in such a situation, but I hope you will think about it again. For some things, it will be much better for you to take the initiative to speak up than to be chased by us." Zhong Han said to Xu Ruobei.
