After arriving at the second-hand market, Jiang Li woke up in a daze as soon as the car stopped.

"Reached?"

Pei Qi nodded: "We're here. If you're sleepy, you can continue to sleep in the car."

Jiang Li rubbed his eyes and said helplessly:

"Then I might as well not come with you and just sleep at home."

Pei Qi chuckled and handed the down jacket to Jiang Li:

"Get dressed before getting off the bus, it's a bit cold outside."

"Ok!"

Jiang Li took the clothes and put them on. As soon as he opened the car door, the cold wind blew in, quickly taking away the heat from his body.

It's cold before the frost and cold after the snow. The last snow fell a few days ago and now is the coldest time.

Pei Qi walked in front of Jiang Li, silently shielding her from the wind.

Once inside the market, the wind couldn't blow in, but the temperature did rise a bit.

Pei Qi found the boss who sold Xing Dayong a second-hand bed.

"Hello, I'm from the Criminal Investigation Team of the Municipal Bureau. My name is Pei Qi."

After Pei Qi revealed his identity, the boss was obviously a little nervous.

"Officer, what do you want from me? This is a second-hand market, and I only trade old items. It shouldn't be illegal!"

Pei Qi's eyes flashed slightly and he said with a stern expression:

"I didn't say you broke the law, I just wanted to ask about something."

"Officer, if you ask, I will tell you everything!"

Pei Qili showed the photo of the bed:

"Do you still remember this bed?"

Although the boss tried his best to hide it, his body was still visibly tense.

"This... I have to sell a lot of things a month, how can I remember so many!"

Pei Qi and Jiang Li looked at each other, then took out the handcuffs:

"It seems that you are not going to cooperate here anymore, so please go to the police station with me to cooperate!"

When he saw Pei Qi taking out the handcuffs, the boss suddenly panicked:

"No, no, no! I'll cooperate, why don't I cooperate!"

"Tell me, where did you get this bed?" Pei Qi asked sharply.

"There is a village ten kilometers north of here. There is a small bungalow in the village. No one has lived in it for a long time. Many of the furniture in the house are still new. I thought it would be a pity to leave them there, so I took advantage of the night. I broke the door lock and found someone to move some furniture over and sell it.”

The boss's voice became softer and quieter as he spoke. He was just greedy and had evil thoughts. Unexpectedly, he was actually found out.

"Officer, I was just obsessed for a moment. I can return them the money and the remaining furniture."

Pei Qi took out the photo of the deceased in his wife’s murder case:

"Do you know this person?"

The boss took a look and then shook his head:

"do not know."

Pei Qi took out Luo Yongbing's photo again: "What about this person?"

The boss nodded: "I know him. He is the owner of that small bungalow, and he is a big boss!"

"You know this man, but not his wife?" Pei Qi frowned.

The boss took one look at the woman's photo and said in surprise:

"You say this woman is his wife? Impossible! I have met his wife. His wife is much younger and more beautiful than this woman. Although his wife has died long ago, he will never find this old and beautiful woman again. Ugly woman!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Qi and Jiang Li vaguely guessed something.

From beginning to end, only Wang Guifang was listed in Luo Yongbing's spouse column. The boss believed that Luo Yongbing's wife should be a mistress.

"You said Luo Yongbing's wife died a long time ago. How did she die? Why is there no record at the police station?" Jiang Li asked.

"She was pregnant and fell into the river and drowned. However, her body was not found and she was reported missing. But it rained so heavily that day and she still had a big belly. If she fell into the river, she probably wouldn't survive."

"How long ago did this happen?" Pei Qi asked.

"It should have been three or four years ago. At that time, there were quite evil rumors in the village, saying that someone saw the woman's ghost crawling out of the river at night.

Probably because of this, Luo Yongbing didn't dare to live there anymore, so he moved out. I saw that there were so many things in that house that no one was using, and it was a waste, so I moved back and sold them. "

The boss looked up at Pei Qi weakly:

"Um... officer, how long will my sentence be?"

"Tell me the address of Luo Yong's family, and I will consider you guilty and meritorious. Go to the police station and surrender immediately. If you take the initiative to confess, your sentence will be reduced."

The boss nodded repeatedly: "Okay!"

After getting the address of Luo Yongbing's house, Pei Qi and Jiang Li drove there immediately.

On the way, Pei Qi asked someone to go to the local police station to inquire about Luo Yongbing's mistress who fell into the river and disappeared, and found her identity information.

"Zhang Tinglan, female, twenty-five years old when she disappeared, born in..."

Jiang Li gave Zhang Tinglan a fortune telling based on this identity information, and the fortune telling showed that the person was still alive.

"Zhang Tinglan is not dead. It is an illusion that she fell into the river and disappeared. I have a hunch that as long as Zhang Tinglan is found, everything will come to light."

Soon, Pei Qi and Jiang Li found the small bungalow.

The door had been pried open, and most of the furniture inside had been moved away. Pei Qi took out his tools and checked the house, and found a large splatter of blood.

Although they have been cleaned up, they are all still revealed under the influence of the reagent.

Pei Qi immediately notified his colleagues from the criminal investigation team to come. This may be the first crime scene of the wife murder case.

"Team Pei, after comparison, the blood stains at the scene were confirmed to belong to the deceased Wang Guifang. That was the scene of the first crime. Wang Guifang should have been killed there and then dismembered and thrown into the river."

There was new progress in the case, and Pei Qi immediately called everyone for a meeting, including Jiang Li.

"According to previously found clues, the murderer of Wang Guifang was her husband Luo Yongbing, but Luo Yongbing was later found dead under the bed board. The time of death was exactly one week after Wang Guifang's death.

I learned from the owner of the second-hand market that Luo Yongbing once had a mistress named Zhang Tinglan outside and lived with her as a couple for a long time. Later, Zhang Tinglan fell into the river and disappeared. "

Jiang Li took the opportunity to interject: "To add, the mistress should not be dead, but she is still alive but has never found Luo Yongbing. This is unreasonable."

Pei Qi nodded: "Jiang Li is right, so I guess that the disappearance into the river was a scene directed and acted by Zhang Tinglan. It may be to leave Luo Yongbing, or it may have another purpose."

"So our most important task now is to find Zhang Tinglan. If we find her, maybe many things can be explained."

The police quickly obtained Zhang Tinglan's identity information and searched for her traces across the Internet.

But after two days of searching with no results, Zhang Tinglan actually surrendered.

In the interrogation room, Zhang Tinglan was neatly dressed, with a calm and calm expression, sitting upright on a chair.

Facing the police's questions, she only said one sentence:

"I want to see Jiang Li."

Pei Qi was worried all the time on the way to pick up Jiang Li.

"Have you known this Zhang Tinglan before?"

Jiang Li shook his head: "She probably doesn't know her. She wants to see me, maybe because I broke her spell to trap Luo Yongbing."

Pei Qi: "Anyway, be careful later. I'll go in with you."

"Okay!" Jiang Li nodded slightly, seemingly not worried.
