Grocery Store No.514

an said lightly, “Wang Lei, you have to work hard to continue to monitor her.
”
Wang Lei asked doubtfully, “Laoban, do you still suspect Li Qiuran? But I don’t think she can kill people.
Not to mention dismembering a body, for a petite woman like her, it was almost impossible.”
“Murder doesn’t have to be done by yourself.
Listening to Captain Jiang’s questions, it’s possible that the police already have evidence of Jiang Chengyan’s cheating.
So Li Qiuran is listed as a suspect.
After all, she has a motive for murder.”

“But when I saw Li Qiuran’s reaction, she doesn’t seem to know about Jiang Changping’s affair.”
“Her reaction was too emotional, which just showed that she didn’t know anything.”
Wang Lei nodded thoughtfully and said, “Laoban, then I’ll go back.”
“Go ahead.
Besides Li Qiuran, you should also pay more attention to Jiang Xiaohan.
“Jiang Xiaohan?” Although he was a little confused, Wang Lei still responded.

Seeing Wang Lei walk out of the door and disappear from sight, Ling Hua’an asked, “Jiang Changping, do you love your wife?”
Jiang Changping was silent, but Ling Hua’an already got the answer from it.
He put on his earphones, listened to the soothing music on his mobile phone, and watched the wandering spirits floating outside the window.
This was his only pastime in countless silent nights.

On October 29, 3020, in the meeting room of the criminal investigation team, everyone gathered one after another and sorted out the information in their hands until Jiang Chengyan entered the door.
Jiang Chengyan said bluntly, “let’s talk about it since everyone is here.
What did you get yesterday?”

Everyone looked at each other, Liu Ran said first, “Then let me talk first.
We went to Aiduoduo supermarket yesterday and found the items that Jiang Changping bought that day.
This is the list.
Captain, take a look.”
Jiang Chengyan checked the list and said, “Food and toiletries.
Have you found whether Jiang Changping has a house in Guangmei District?”

Liu Ran shook his head and said, “No.
The only property under Jiang Changping’s name is the Heping District, and the gallery he is running now.”
“How about renting?”
“We checked the property fee payment registration form of the Guangmei district and didn’t find Jiang Changping’s name.
I think he would never use his identity information to rent a room if he really wanted to hide it.”
Jiang Chengyan nodded and then asked, “What about Li Qiuran? Have you checked her information?”

“Yes.
Li qiuran, 28, graduated from the Art Department of Longcheng University and is an alumnus of Jiang Changping.
After Li Qiuran graduated, she married Jiang Changping and became a housewife.
Her mother’s family is in Huacheng, but her parents divorced and have a new family.
She has rarely returned to her mother’s family since she got married.”
“What about her address book? Does she have anyone close with?”
“She rarely contacts anyone, but every night at eight o’clock, she will call Jiang Changping, usually no more than one minute, except for a few days a month.
”

Jiang Chengyan nodded, “Yesterday we went to their house to investigate and question her.
She also said that Jiang Changping would go out every month to find inspiration, usually for about three days.
Except for the few days you mentioned, which should be the few days when Jiang Changping went out to collect scenery1.”

“Inspiration? What a nice thing to say.
It’s just an excuse to meet a lover.”Yao Min doesn’t hide his dissatisfaction with Jiang Changping.

“Liu Ran, go on.
What else did you find?”
“Jiang Changping’s last phone call was to Jiang Cheng on the 22nd.
We visited him based on his information.
Jiang Cheng, 33 years old.
Opened a store in the small commodity wholesale market, specializing in frames calligraphy, and painting.
He is Jiang Changping’s cousin.
Jiang Changping called him to ask whether the calligraphy and paintings that had been placed there before were  done framed.”
“If it’s such a simple thing, why talk for five minutes?”
“It’s because Jiang Cheng wanted to borrow money from Jiang Changping, but Jiang Changping didn’t lend it.
The two had a quarrel, so they talked for five minutes.”
“Quarrel?”

“Jiang Cheng borrowed money not once.
He owed more than 200,000 yuan to Jiang Changping before, and he never paid it back.
Now he borrowed another 100,000 yuan, who would hesitate? Jiang Cheng is a complete scoundrel.
It’s hard for them not to have an argument.
But we have ruled out Jiang Cheng’s suspicion of committing the crime.
Because on the evening of the 22nd, he played mahjong with a few poker friends.
He played all night long, and didn’t go home until six o’clock in the morning.”
“Is there anything else?”
“We also checked Jiang Changping’s social account.
Jiang Changping has few friends and few contacts and found nothing unusual.
For the time being, we only found these.”

“Okay.” Jiang Chengyan looked at Li Tong and asked, “How was your investigation?”

Li Tong answered, “We went to the traffic police brigade and found the tracks of the three cars.
We found that the black DZ car was a □□2, and the real vehicle with the license plate number was a white MZD.
I suspected that the car is the vehicle used to throw the corpse.
But unfortunately, they ran away.
He finally drove into the old town of the eastern suburbs, where the roads are quite narrow and there are many places without surveillance cameras, so we didn’t get any information other than the car brand.”
