Chapter 112 - Chapter 39: Old acquaintance

"We have to first understand your boyfriend's personal situation and his usual social interactions, so that we can solve the case as soon as possible. I know you must be feeling very uncomfortable now. If you really can't bear it, we can find another time, but if it's because of something else, don't worry about not telling us what you know. After all, you don't want to see your boyfriend like this..." Gu Xiaofan waited for a while, and saw that Xiaofeng didn't speak, knowing that she had some concerns, she had to speak to her. At this time, she knew that the best way was to stimulate Xiaofeng with the fact that her boyfriend died tragically, let her put aside her concerns and tell her what she knew, but when she thought of this girl who was almost the same age as her just witnessed the tragic death of her boyfriend, Gu Xiaofan felt a little bit reluctant.Although she only said half of her words, Xiaofeng immediately remembered the scene she had seen before, and immediately shivered all over, shuddered, and put her hands around herself and shrank back."It's not that I don't want to tell you something, I..." She bit her lip and choked up, "It's mainly because I don't know where to start. My mind is in a mess now, and I feel like my head is going to explode!"Gu Xiaofan sighed, stood up and moved his seat, sitting next to Xiaofeng, gently patting her back to comfort her, and then asked in a soliciting tone: "Then I'll ask you, just answer it."Xiaofeng nodded. This girl's appearance is actually quite good-looking, but she seemed to have put on a lot of heavy makeup. Now she was frightened and cried for so long, and now all the makeup on her face was smudged. The black eyeliner originally painted on the upper eyelid was stained on the lower eyelid. One of the false eyelashes fell somewhere, and the other one was also in a shaky state, shaking with her blinking. There were many tear marks on her cheeks. The foundation was washed away where the tears flowed, revealing her originally slightly dark yellow skin color. The edges of the tear marks were also stained with dark water stains from eyeliner, eye shadow or mascara. In short, apart from the word "embarrassed", Gu Xiaofan couldn't think of any other adjectives."How did you and Wei Pengcheng know each other?" Gu Xiaofan asked, glancing at the shaky false eyelashes on Xiaofeng's eyes. He had an urge to reach out and help her take them off, but he felt that it was not polite. He had to force himself not to notice that detail.Xiaofeng seemed to be unaware of her embarrassment. She sobbed and said to Gu Xiaofan: "We met in a nightclub. At that time, I went to the nightclub with my daughter and a few others. As a result, we met some drunk people who were messing with us. Wei Pengcheng happened to be there. When he met us, he helped us out. Then we sat together and chatted and played for a while. Before leaving, he asked me for my phone number, and I gave it to him. Not long after that, he contacted me and asked me to have dinner. In this way, we got together.""How is your relationship after you two got together?" Gu Xiaofan asked again."We have a good relationship, and it has always been good," Xiao Feng answered, and then she seemed to feel uncomfortable with Gu Xiaofan's question, "Why do you ask that? You can't doubt me, right? He's my boyfriend. Besides, can't you see how strong Wei Pengcheng is? Look at my two thin arms. I can't even lift a barrel of oil when I buy one, and I can't even unscrew the cap of a drink. Don't say that we have a good relationship. If we really fight, I will definitely die."As she said this, she raised her two slender arms to her chest with some sadness and grievance, and showed Gu Xiaofan how powerless she was."I don't mean anything else. This is all rational questioning. We will ask not only you, but also Wei Pengcheng's parents. You really don't need to think too much." Gu Xiaofan didn't find Xiaofeng's reaction strange. Often, the closer the person is to the deceased, the more they will feel that it is a great insult to be asked such questions. This is also human nature. In the past few years of work, Gu Xiaofan, who has always played a diligent "supporting role", has not encountered this for the first time and is not unfamiliar with it.Hearing her say this, Xiaofeng seemed to feel much better and didn't say anything else."Has Wei Pengcheng always been in the hardware industry?" Gu Xiaofan asked Xiaofeng.Xiao Feng nodded: "As far as I know, he has been doing this business for about three or four years. He told me before that he didn't get into college after graduating from high school, so he simply didn't continue his studies. His family gave him some money and he started his own business outside. It happened that he had a distant relative who was in this business, so he followed suit."Gu Xiaofan nodded, thought about it, and then asked: "How is his social life? Do he have many friends? What kind of people are they?"The large tattoo on the body of the deceased with a strong sense of the underworld is still the focus of her attention, but the question cannot be asked so directly, so she simply changed the direction. Xiao Feng also mentioned before that she and the deceased Wei Pengcheng met in a nightclub. At that time, Wei Pengcheng, like her, was drinking and relaxing there with friends. People with such personalities should not be introverted and autistic, and not good at making friends.Xiao Feng hesitated for a while before saying, "Pengcheng has a lot of friends. It seems like he knows all kinds of people. I can't really say what kind of people his friends are. Anyway... I rarely hang out with him and his friends. It's either the two of us doing something, or he goes out with his friends and I go out with my little girl. We don't get in each other's way. I still can't even remember the names of the people he has close contact with.""Are you unwilling to get involved with his friends, or is he unwilling to let you get involved with his social circle?" Gu Xiaofan asked. Although she didn't have a lot of emotional experience, she was very clear about one thing: for a couple, it is necessary and normal for the other half to integrate into their social circle."How can I explain this? Pengcheng is a bit chauvinistic," Xiao Feng had long been accustomed to this kind of thing, so he didn't mix in any more emotions when he spoke, and said sickly, "He said that whether men are talking or playing together, women should not get involved. If they are too deep or shallow, it will be easy for his friends to laugh at them.""Even if you don't participate in his social activities, you will always hear him talk about his friends, right? Since you two have a good relationship, it is impossible for you not to communicate when you are together, right?" Gu Xiaofan felt that Xiao Feng's answer was too general, which made people feel a little perfunctory."He really doesn't tell me these things. Believe it or not, we rarely talk to each other except for eating, sleeping and chatting," Xiao Feng was a little anxious, her eyes were red. Gu Xiaofan's suspicion seemed to make her feel very uncomfortable. "Wei Pengcheng is the kind of rough person. We each look after a store. We leave home in the morning and come back from closing the stall at night. It's seven or eight o'clock when we get home. We eat and have some time before going to bed. He would rather play with the computer than chat with me. So usually one of us plays the computer and the other watches TV series, and then we go to bed at a certain time. If he comes to me occasionally, it's not to chat with me. You You can understand it if you think about it, right? Men, do men look for a partner just to find someone to chat with? "Gu Xiaofan blushed when Xiaofeng said this. She didn't expect Xiaofeng to be so blunt and explosive, which made her feel very embarrassed. But even so, she was unwilling to give up: "Even if you don't mention it specifically, you live together all day, it's impossible that you haven't heard anything about it, right?"Xiaofeng thought for a while and said: "I remembered something, but it was a long time ago, and it probably has nothing to do with this incident. To be honest, I really can't understand why someone killed Pengcheng for no reason. . "Gu Xiaofan took out a tissue and handed it to Xiao Feng who was crying again: "It's okay, just say whatever you think.""A long time ago, about half a year ago, Pengcheng had a friend who always called him. Pengcheng didn't seem to want to pay attention to that person. Sometimes when that person called at home, he always went into the house and closed the door to answer, always avoiding me. At first I thought he was hooking up with another woman outside without my knowledge, so I broke in to listen to what was going on. We had a conflict over this matter. Later he told me that it was a man he knew before, who had just been released from prison and wanted to make friends with him, but he didn't want to pay attention. Later When that person called again, he either didn't answer or dismissed him with a few words. Anyway, he didn't look very happy. Then one day, I closed my stall and went home, but he didn't come back. Logically, his store was closer to home than mine. I thought he went out to drink with friends again and forgot to call me. I called him to ask, but he said he had something to do and would be back later. He hung up the phone before I could say anything. He came back later and didn't eat. When I asked him, he told me that the person who always called him asked someone for the address of his store and went there. He came back after dismissing that person. "Xiao Feng said."Did that person contact Wei Pengcheng again later?" Gu Xiaofan asked.Xiao Feng shook his head: "As far as I know, he hasn't done that since then."
