Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 73 Zhuang Yanzheng is here

When Su Miaoyi arrived at the police station, Sheng Ningxuan was still there.

She then went to see Sheng Ningxuan.

The two met in the reception room.

She opened the door and made a noise, which startled Sheng Ningxuan.

"Hello, my name is Su Miaoyi." She introduced herself first.

Sheng Ningxuan looked at her.

Su Miaoyi sat opposite her: "Don't be afraid, just chat casually."

Sheng Ningxuan clenched her hands tightly: "Just ask whatever you want to ask."

Su Miaoyi could sense that she was very nervous, her mind was constantly on edge, and it seemed like the string was about to snap at any moment.

She knew that her words of comfort would be of no use; the more she said, the more she would overthink and the more nervous she would become.

So she asked directly, "Do you know why Shao Dong wanted to kill Xu Shuxuan?"

Sheng Ningxuan pinched her fingers back and forth.

She didn't speak, and Su Miaoyi didn't urge her.

After a while, Sheng Ningxuan asked, "Have you found Shao Dong?"

"I'm sorry, we can't disclose the details of the case at this time," Su Miaoyi said.

Sheng Ningxuan was silent for a while before saying, "I'm not from Jiangcheng, I'm from Jinghai."

“Then we’re from the same hometown,” Su Miaoyi said.

Sheng Ningxuan finally looked up and looked at her seriously, then lowered her gaze again: "I go to university in Jiangcheng. I go to the same school as Shao Dong and Xu Shuxuan. They are roommates."

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

Sheng Ningxuan said, "They all pursued me."

"You like Xu Shuxuan?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Sheng Ningxuan began to clench her fingers tightly, her knuckles turning white: "Many people in our school liked him back then, and I liked him too, so we got together."

“We were together for over a year, and he treated me very well. After graduation, he proposed to me, and I told my parents. But my parents didn’t agree.”

"First, Xu Shuxuan's family is not well-off. Second, my parents have met him and talked to him, and they felt that he had no plans for the future and did not think highly of him. Third, it's too far away; Jinghai is too far from Jiangcheng. I also have an older brother at home, and my parents can't come over to help take care of my brother's children."

"But at that time, I was blinded by love. I felt that as long as he treated me well, it would be better than anything else. As long as the couple was of one mind, it didn't matter how much money they had or how comfortable their lives were."

“I insisted on marrying into this family. My parents had no choice but to give me more dowry in the hopes that my life would be better. My brother and sister-in-law also gave me a generous dowry.”

“Before the dowry was gone, we had a very good relationship. For ten whole years, our relationship remained strong. I thought I had married the right person. But after the dowry was gone and I had to work to make ends meet, he changed.”

“He started hitting me. He thought I was too old, too ugly, too poor, not virtuous enough, and too dramatic. This went on for almost three years.”

Su Miaoyi frowned: "Why didn't you call the police?"

“I called the police.” Sheng Ningxuan looked somewhat dazed. “He knelt down in front of the police and begged me to forgive him. In the end, it was resolved as a domestic dispute. When we got home, he beat me even more severely, so I didn’t dare to call the police anymore. I tried to run away, but every time I was caught and brought back, and then I got beaten again.”

"Why don't you go home?" Su Miaoyi asked again.

“How can I face going back? I chose this path myself. My parents raised me, paved the way for me, and spent money on me, and I ended up living like this.” Sheng Ningxuan’s tears fell onto her hands. “They are getting old, almost seventy. I’m not here to take care of them, so how can I let them worry and work hard because of this?”

Su Miaoyi was so upset she couldn't speak, and her head was throbbing with anger.

If that thing were still alive, she would have loved to kick it to pieces.

After a while, she saw that Sheng Ningxuan's hand was about to bleed from pinching it, so she took her hand.

Sheng Ningxuan instinctively flinched, her body trembling slightly.

Su Miaoyi was both angry and heartbroken, and her throat felt like it was being pierced by needles.

She got up and sat down next to her: "From now on, it will be good days."

Sheng Ningxuan did not speak.

Su Miaoyi also quieted down for a while, calming herself down: "After Shao Dong took you away, did he keep you locked up?"

"Well, actually, even if he hadn't locked me up, I wouldn't have dared to run away. I wouldn't have dared to run away as long as he was around. I only dared to run away because I saw that he hadn't come for a long time."

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

Sheng Ningxuan said, "I didn't choose him back then because I heard that he was fighting outside and hanging out with some people with bad backgrounds."

"Does he often make phone calls in front of you?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Sheng Ningxuan shook her head: "He always avoids me when we talk on the phone. There was only one time when I heard him say, 'NPS has already sent someone to pick it up.' He probably thought I didn't know what it was, so he didn't avoid me. I saw some educational videos on short videos, so I know it's drugs."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

NPS, a third-generation drug, also known as a designer drug, has anesthetic and hallucinogenic effects.

It can be disguised as milk tea, popping candy, soda, steamed cake, or steamed bun.

Su Miaoyi thought that Shao Dong had used NPS on Xu Shuxuan. "Could you repeat what Shao Dong said back then?" Su Miaoyi asked.

Sheng Ningxuan thought for a moment and repeated it twice. The meaning was similar, but the word order was different.

Su Miaoyi was silent for a few seconds, then asked, "Did he address the other person in any way?"

Sheng Ningxuan shook her head, and after a few seconds said, "I remember now."

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

“Once, when he was on the phone, he called out ‘Brother Hong’ as he walked out,” Sheng Ningxuan said.

Brother Hong? Brother Hong? Brother Hong?

I don't know which "hong" it is, but at least we have another clue.

"When can I leave?" Sheng Ningxuan asked.

“The police have notified your brother. He will come to pick you up,” Su Miaoyi said.

Sheng Ningxuan's expression changed drastically.

Su Miaoyi looked at her: "Xu Shuxuan's parents were not in good physical and mental condition after learning that their son was gone. After considering all factors, the police notified your brother but did not tell your parents."

Sheng Ningxuan did not speak.

Su Miaoyi looked at her: "Someone once told me that if I insisted on choosing this profession, I must protect myself. My parents have spoiled me so much, and if something happens to me, they will be heartbroken."

As she spoke, her fingers twitched, and she felt a sharp pain in her heart.

Something would always pop into her head; she thought she was used to it.

But this feeling was a first for me.

“At our age, most families only have one child. Your parents were punished, but they still had to give birth to you. They have always loved you. Only when you are well can they be well.”

After meeting Sheng Ningxuan, Su Miaoyi went to discuss the case with her.

Within her access permissions, she looked through all the materials she was allowed to see.

The clues are too fragmented to be pieced together.

She felt she should go and check out Fengjiang Club.

Another sleepless night.

After daybreak, she and Lu Zhishen went out for breakfast instead of eating at their cafeteria.

After finishing breakfast, Su Miaoyi dozed off in the car for a while. After getting out of the car, she was still dizzy and not fully awake.

The blisters on his feet were hurting again, so he kept his head down and followed behind Lu Zhishen.

"Eh!"

Suddenly a shout came from ahead.

Su Miaoyi heard a familiar voice.

She looked up and first saw Lu Zhishen's back, then tilted her head and saw Zhuang Yanzheng standing at the entrance of the police station.

Su Miaoyi craned her neck to stare at him.

“Stretching your neck any further will stretch it out too much,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi walked up to him, circled him, and looked at Lu Zhishen, saying, "Don't you think he looks familiar?"

Lu Zhishen said, "I don't know him."

Su Miaoyi nodded: "Oh, let's go then."

After she finished speaking, she walked past Zhuang Yanzheng and headed into the police station.

Zhuang Yanzheng grabbed the hood of her down jacket and pulled her back.

Su Miaoyi looked up at him.

Zhuang Yanzheng chuckled: "Take another good look."

The sound of gnashing teeth.

Feeling threatened, Su Miaoyi immediately laughed: "Captain Zhuang, what a coincidence, you're here too. I've missed you so much these past few days."

Extremely perfunctory words.

It's just like a subordinate being perfunctory with their leader.

Zhuang Yanzheng found this very displeasing: "Then tell me, what are you thinking?"

"I've missed you so much these past few days, I've been eating two extra bowls of rice every day," Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng: "...You do think about people."

Lu Zhishen smiled.
