Mystery Hunter - Chapter 316
In less than an hour or so, Zhao Jie hurried back home. From the large beads of sweat on his forehead, it can be seen that he came back in a hurry. After closing the door, Zhao Jie’s glasses were immediately filled with water mist. Zhao Jie had to take off his glasses and wipe them with the corner of his clothes.
Jiang He sat on the corner of the sofa and looked at Zhao Jie calmly. While wiping his glasses, Zhao Jie squinted to observe the crowd. Jiang He noticed that Zhao Jie was wearing a platinum ring on the ring finger of his right hand. With the ring found on Zhang Zong’s hand, the two are relatively the same in color and style, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a pair of rings.
Zhao Jie finally cleaned his glasses and asked, “Are you the police?”
Shao Lao stood up first. He stretched out his hand and said to Zhao Jie, “Hello, we are from the Criminal Police Department of the Public Security Bureau. We came to you this time to find out about the situation.”
Zhao Jie did not shake hands, but put the glasses back on the bridge of his nose: “Comrade police, I don’t know why you are here this time.”
“This time?” Jiang He immediately heard the key words in Zhao Jie’s words, and said, “So that means, the police have sought you out before?”
Zhao Jie seemed a little flustered, he coughed twice: “No, why did you come to my house?”
Zhao Jie’s grandmother said, “Comrade police officer, Zhao Jie is a good boy in our family. He has never done anything bad. Have you made a mistake?”
Shao Lao smiled, turned to the grandmother and said, “Old sister, I didn’t say anything bad that Zhao Jie did, we just came to find out the situation.”
The old grandmother nodded and said, “Grandson, we are not afraid of shadows. If the police comrade asks you, you can answer whatever you want.”
“Sit down.” Shao Lao looked at Zhao Jie and said, “Zhao Jie, my team member also pointed it out just now, you don’t have to hide anything. The police have been here before. Why did I come to you. But it will undoubtedly take a little more work, and now time is racing against the clock.”
Shao Lao sat down again: “Now I have something to tell you, although we haven’t investigated it yet, but I can tell you clearly now, no matter what happened, you must tell me, otherwise, You are probably in danger.”
“Dangerous?” Zhao Jie looked at Mr. Shao and said, “There is danger, what danger can there be? Don’t come here, don’t you come again, okay? We just want a peaceful life.”
Seeing Zhao Jie’s hesitant refusal to speak, Shao Lao sighed, took out the ring and said, “This ring should be worn by your wife, right?”
Veteran Shao put the ring in Zhao Jie’s hand: “You don’t have to rush to refuse, you should take a serious look.”
“This ring, no, I don’t know this ring.” Zhao Jie hurriedly put the ring on Shao’s hand, swinging his head like a rattle.
Jiang He frowned, he stood up, and asked, “Zhao Jie, your lie is too clumsy. Since we came to you, it means that we have found out who the owner of this ring is. Of all kinds of rings, a man can only buy one in a lifetime, you know? We found the number of the ring, and you bought this ring.”
The old grandmother took the ring from Shao Lao’s hand, held it up and kept observing in the sun, she narrowed her eyes, almost shoving the ring into her eye socket, finally, the old grandma said: “No, grandson, this Isn’t it the ring you bought for Yueyue, it’s not cheap, why is it in the hands of these policemen?”
“Oh.” The grandmother patted her thigh: “Grandson, you have to thank these police comrades. They brought you back what you lost. No wonder I remember Yueyue always treasured this ring in the beginning. She is wearing it, why haven’t she been wearing it in recent months, her feelings are lost.”
Shao Lao smiled and said, “Yes, old sister, this ring belongs to your granddaughter-in-law. Take it.”
“Eh.” The grandmother shivered happily, revealing a pair of false teeth.
“Zhao Jie, can you tell us what happened now?” Jiang He said to Zhao Jie.
Zhao Jie looked at everyone, then at his grandmother, and finally nodded as if he had made up his mind, but he said to his grandmother first: “Grandma, go back to your room to rest first, and I will chat with these police comrades. chat.”
“Hey.” The grandmother nodded: “I’m old, and I can’t stand my waist and legs for a while longer. I’ve found all the rings. I’ll put them away for you and my granddaughter-in-law, but don’t lose them. Talk to you, talk to you. .”
Zhao Jie smiled and helped grandma into the room, closed the door, and walked over with a serious face.
Shao Lao gave up a seat: “Sit down, I don’t know what happened, but looking at you, it doesn’t seem like a trivial matter.”
“It’s dead.” Zhao Jie said almost gritted his teeth.
“Dead?” Jiang He asked, “What the **** is going on?”
“Can I smoke a cigarette?” Zhao Jie said.
Shao Lao took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket: “It’s okay, I’m an old smoker.”
“Well.” Zhao Jie took Lao Shao’s cigarette case and took out one to light it: “It happened about three months ago, one night three months ago, I was working overtime in the company, and my grandma went back to the country. , only my wife is at home. It should be after eleven o’clock in the evening, because we are on the seventeenth floor, and we are not afraid of thieves. Three months ago or September, the weather was still a little hot, and my wife was driving Sleep at the window.”
Zhao Jie frowned, and suddenly threw the cigarette on the ground viciously: “Who knows how to be so unlucky. You should have seen it when you came up, there is an escape staircase between these two buildings, because a fire broke out in one building. When the time comes, you can leave from this escape stair. That is to say, but every household is afraid that the thief will steal something and run away from this escape stair, so the doors on both sides are locked, which means that this escape stair is just a decoration, and it is not at all. It doesn’t work.”
“But who would have thought that the hostess of a house on the 17th floor was quietly with other men. As a result, her man suddenly came home from a business trip that night, and the lover had nowhere to hide, so he could only jump through the window and jump to the escape stairs. Go. But the man in that house also noticed something was wrong, and as soon as he pulled the curtains, he saw the kid walking from the escape stairs to the second building.”
Zhao Jie sighed heavily: “Our house is on the seventeenth floor, you say it’s a coincidence, but it happens to be on this side of the escape stairs. The man wants to chase, and the lover will naturally run. He panicked and saw the window of my bedroom open. , I want to step on the stairs and turn in through my window to escape. But the escape stairs are not designed for this purpose. The doors are all in the corridor, and there must be some distance between them and my window. Go down from the window. It’s easy to jump up the escape stairs, but not so easy to jump up the stairs and into the window.”
“Did he fall to his death?” Yuan Jun asked.
Zhao Jie glanced at Yuan Jun, and sighed again: “If it was really like that, it wouldn’t be so troublesome. He jumped up, but he didn’t jump up, but he grabbed the edge of the window with one hand, and his whole body was hanging in the air. On the window. This time he can’t get up, and he can’t get down.”
“My wife naturally heard it and woke up immediately. How could she not be afraid when she saw someone on the window, and this person was about to fall. My wife is also kind-hearted, although she doesn’t know what happened, she can’t stand by Watching this man fall, I quickly grabbed him with my hands.”
Zhao Jie grabbed his hair: “My wife, a weak woman, has the strength to pull a big man up. After less than half a minute of stalemate, my wife lost her strength, and the man couldn’t hold on. The two of them lost their strength, and he was about to fall.”
“My wife saw someone in the window of a building, and called that person to help, but the person immediately closed the window and pretended that he didn’t see anything. That person was the husband next door, and of course he refused to save the lover. The man finally fell, and when he fell, he just pulled off my wife’s ring. On the seventeenth floor, he fell directly and died.”
“At that time, Peng’s voice was very loud, and many people heard it, and they came out to see it. My wife was also frightened, and quickly called the police. Later, the police came to my house many times, just to investigate this matter. “
Zhao Jie beat the table and said, “The police comrade is also very capable, and the investigation will be clear in a few days. In the end, no one is responsible. It belongs to the feeling that this man committed suicide by himself. After all, no one forced him. Anyway. In the end, the case was closed like this, and the family members did not respond, and they probably felt that it was embarrassing to fall to their death by doing such a thing, and they were reluctant to speak out.”
“And then?” Jiang He asked.
“Later, not long after the case, the house was replaced. I heard that the house was sold, maybe it was unlucky. We just bought this house for a short time, and we didn’t want to sell it, so we continued to live. But you don’t know what those people said, they all said that my wife did something bad. When I came back, there was nothing I could do. My wife pushed her lover down, but no one saw what happened, so I The wife was acquitted.”
Zhao Jie scolded: “Damn, isn’t this nonsense? The police have investigated it clearly, and the wife of the deceased agrees with the police, saying that his husband is indeed unclear with the woman in the building. I don’t know. Whoever made the rumor first, said that my wife did this kind of thing, so that my wife was pointed at me every day, but we have no way to explain it.”
“Really, we just want a peaceful life. If only my wife had closed the window that night, this kind of thing wouldn’t have happened.” Zhao Jie looked helpless and angry: “You said the police always come. My family, the neighbors who engaged in it all think the rumor is true, if you don’t believe it, you can go to the sub-bureau police station and ask what the truth is.”
“In other words, your wife was wronged.” Jiang He said.
“Yes.” Zhao Jie sighed.
Jiang He stood up and shouted, “No, contact your wife right now.”
