Xiao Jiang and Mu Chenyan were very excited when they heard such a detail.
Mother Sun said, "I think that pen is fine. My granddaughter Le Le usually uses it to read English and has no other use. Why would she buy a new one? I just returned the pen to Le Le. "
Mu Chenyan's heart was in her throat. She asked, "Where's Le Le? Did she take the pen with her? "
Mother Sun looked at the mess in the house and sighed. "So many things happened at home. I had no choice but to send Le Le to her grandmother's place to hide for a few days. She might have taken the pen with her because she has to read English every day … "
Xiao Jiang asked a few other questions, but Mu Chenyan's attention was focused on the reading pen.
After leaving the Sun Family, Xiao Jiang and Su Qingcheng discussed the results of the investigation and mentioned the reading pen.
"Chenyan, why did you ask that question when you heard Sun Xu's job?"
Xiao Jiang was getting more and more curious about Mu Chenyan. She was just a small reporter, but sometimes her mind was so sharp that she could be a detective.
There must be something wrong with Sun Xu's unusual request for his mother to take care of the pen.
"Mother Sun said that Sun Xu's job was to work in such romantic settings, so it was inevitable that he would come into contact with some influential people. Those people often looked down on the waiters, so it's very likely that Sun Xu overheard them discussing something when they were drunk."
Mu Chenyan explained. Xiao Jiang's eyes lit up as he felt that it made sense. "The topic that Sun Xu was interested in was most likely related to his brother's pension?"
Mu Chenyan smiled. "Actually, I'm not sure. It's just a guess. I'm not a psycho, so you guys look for evidence when you handle cases. I only need to guess, so I might be thinking a little too much."
Su Qingcheng smiled. "I'm not afraid of thinking too much, but I'm afraid that I can't think of anything! But you're right, imagination alone is not enough. We need evidence. "
"Then how did you think that Sun Xu would have something to give to his mother?"
It was Xiao Jiang's first time here. The Sun Family was in a mess because of the Old Master's funeral. He did not have any clues in his testimony, but Mu Chenyan pulled out such a clue with just one sentence. Naturally, he was curious about Mu Chenyan's thoughts.
"Sun Xu's education level is low. His job doesn't allow him to bring a phone during working hours. If he wanted to, he might have used other methods to record the news he heard.
"He must have gotten this information by chance. He took away the reading pen that Lele uses every day and used it for a few days. This means that he had to record this process several times!"
Mu Chenyan said faintly, "Of course, this is just my guess. However, I don't think that a waiter with only a middle school education would take his niece's reading pen just to learn English."
Little Jiang found it even more interesting when he heard this. He had been working as an NN for a few years, and he always solved cases based on evidence. Wu Huai would never allow this kind of imaginative approach. He continued to ask Mu Chenyan, "Then why didn't he buy the most advanced NSN headset or recording equipment?"
Su Qingcheng was also curious about Mu Chenyan's way of thinking, so she allowed Xiaojiang to probe further.
Mu Chenyan was slightly embarrassed. The beautiful and alluring woman blushed at this moment. "I'm just making a wild guess. Don't take it seriously. You'd better quickly find that reading pen and take a look."
"Lele is his brother's orphan. Usually, he would take care of that child more. When the child learns English, he would tell him that this reading pen has a recording function. Sun Xu's income is very low, and he usually has to supplement his household expenses. If he wants to buy other equipment, he might consider the problem of spending money again."
"Therefore, when he needs it, he might first think of the ready-made one at home!"
Seeing that Xiaojiang was about to ask again, Mu Chenyan answered him directly.
"As for why he was willing to give 300 yuan to my mother and ask her to buy another one for Lele, he must have stored something in the old reading pen that he thought was more important than money."
Mu Chenyan finished in one breath. She took the water that Su Qingcheng handed over and took a sip. Xiaojiang was overjoyed. "Since you said that, I have to act quickly!"
"What for?" Mu Chenyan asked and looked at Su Qingcheng.
"I'm going to Lele's grandmother's house to get that reading pen!"
As Xiaojiang spoke, he had already jumped into his broken police car.
"Sigh, I've already said that this is all my wild guess. Sun Xu is already dead, so I don't know if that's the case."
Mu Chenyan was worried that she would mislead them in solving the case.
Su Qingcheng comforted her. "Don't worry. Since there's such a situation, whether it's like what you said or not, we have to find this evidence. Moreover, the few people who caused trouble with Sun Xu also confessed last night that Sun Xu let them listen to a recording on his phone. It's very likely that Sun Xu transferred it to his phone for them to listen to.
"These people didn't dare to say much in the police station, and Sun Xu didn't let them know where the original manuscript was either. There's no direct evidence to prove whether the recording they said existed or not. Sun Xu's phone had been snatched away by the murderer a long time ago. If you didn't say anything, I wouldn't have thought that there were other devices."
Mu Chenyan nodded. "People nowadays are used to using their phones for everything. If it was a secret meeting between influential people at Sun Xu's workplace, they wouldn't have allowed the waiter to use his phone to record it."
Su Qingcheng sighed. Looking at the evidence that had been collected for a day, she said, "I initially thought that these two cases wouldn't be related, but it seems that this Sun Xu's murder was related to him knowing too much!"
"You're saying that he killed him to silence him?"
Although Mu Chenyan agreed with this speculation in her heart, she was still a little surprised.
"It's very likely that he didn't intend to kill anyone, but it's also possible that he was accidentally beaten to death during interrogation. We'll have to wait for the forensic autopsy report to come out first!"
Only when the two women were busy until the evening did they really have a hot meal.
It was the end of May, and it was time to eat skewers again.
Su Qingcheng and Mu Chenyan ordered barbecued skewers and beer at a roadside beer stall, planning to eat meat.
Mu Chenyan had never experienced this kind of thing before. All her firsts were given to Su Qingcheng.
The last time she ate a spicy set meal in City B. This time, she was eating skewers and drinking beer.
Eating at roadside stalls and drinking cold beer. Not to mention that the Yuan Family would not allow it, even when she was in the Mu Family, they would not allow her to do this.
Her status as a socialite was fake!
"In the past, I always had the title of a socialite. I felt that I never truly came into contact with the five tastes of the world and the sufferings of the people. That was an incomplete life!"
Mu Chenyan was still a little afraid of chili, and the skewers she ordered were all vegetarian dishes.
"What about now? Is it complete? A life of eating skewers and drinking beer is a complete life! "
Su Qingcheng said with a smile. Her teeth were white, and her eyes were full of smiles. Her meat skewers were fiery red, and Mu Chenyan was frightened when she saw them.
"My psychological turning point started after I went to the Middle East war zone in university!"
Mu Chenyan smiled and picked up the beer. It was still a little difficult to accept this bitter liquid. She frowned and took a big gulp.
The feeling of coldness was really refreshing. Mu Chenyan smiled and continued, "The Mu Family and the Yuan Family are both at the top of society. All I see is a prosperous world, and all I've experienced is a life without any obstacles. Even if there are some obstacles, I'm just pretending to be sick!"
Su Qingcheng smiled. "I'm different. When I was young, I didn't even have enough food and clothing. That's why my parents chose one of their seven daughters to sell. Unfortunately, I'm that one …"
Mu Chenyan was stunned. She had never heard Su Qingcheng talk about her past.
No wonder she hated human traffickers so much. During the last operation in City B, she almost killed that female hunter!
"Qingcheng, you …" Mu Chenyan's words were stuck in her throat. Only she knew how deep the pain of being abandoned by one's biological parents was.
Su Qingcheng waved her hand and said, "It's not worth mentioning. It's all in the past. Let's talk about you. I admire your courage. I've been a soldier for a few years, but I've never been to a real battlefield. There are many battlefields in the Middle East. I wanted to sign up for the peacekeeping force, but I was rejected. "
Su Qingcheng thought about the reason for her rejection. A large part of it was because Shao Yibai had done something to it. The meat skewer in front of her turned into Shao Yibai, so she went up and took a big bite!
"Indeed, the war let people know that everything is fleeting in the face of life and death. In the refugee camp, I saw the struggle and suffering of the people at the bottom of society. Only then did I realize that all my experiences were insignificant!
"In order to live on, for the sake of my loved ones, I lost even the lowest dignity. Today, I'm still walking on the road, but tomorrow, my heart will be smashed into pieces!"
Su Qingcheng drank a few big glasses. Her eyes were a little red. She looked at Mu Chenyan and suddenly said, "So, with that experience in the war, you could be considered to have been tempered in life. You were able to survive those two years in prison …"
Mu Chenyan listened and nodded. She said in a low voice, "Indeed, the days in prison were very different from my previous life."
The psychological impact of going from a pampered rich family to a prisoner was not small.
"I had no family, no identity, no love, no dignity, and no hope for the future."
When Mu Chenyan said this, her gaze was indifferent. She did not speak of the unfair treatment during that period of time out of hatred or grievance. She spoke plainly as if she was talking about someone else's matter.
"Did you want to die?" Su Qingcheng asked.
"No! Although I didn't know if I would be able to leave that place, I never thought about it! I can accept death, but I don't want to end it myself. I've seen more cruel life and death, so I chose to respect life!
"So, when I was beaten and bullied, I silently endured it. At that time, it wasn't because I still missed Yuan Xuan or my family.
"Now that I think about it, I just feel that those days were a complete supplement to my life. I can't live a peaceful life forever and be a socialite who doesn't know the suffering of the world …"
Su Qingcheng smiled. "In the beginning, when you became a reporter, even Wu Huai looked down on you. He was afraid that you wouldn't be able to bear the hardships. It seems that men are just so despicable, but women are very resilient! Not only did you persevere, but you also helped us solve the case! "
Mu Chenyan waved her hand and smiled. "I'm just making wild guesses. There's no method and I'm just relying on my intuition! Moreover, it's just luck! "
Su Qingcheng understood that the Mu Chenyan she saw was the Mu Chenyan who had been reborn. Those experiences allowed her to be reborn!
