Grocery Store No.514

The female ghost's sharp nails stabbed straight at Ling Hua'an's neck, Ling Hua'an didn't move at all, when the female ghost was about to touch him, suddenly a golden light flashed, forming a barrier to isolate the female ghost outer.

Not reconciled, the female ghost changed her target and stabbed at Jiang Chengyan, but a golden barrier also appeared on his body, and the female ghost couldn't get close at all.

Jiang Chengyan didn't notice anything, and Ling Huaan acted nonchalantly, making the female ghost frown.

"Officer Jiang, Mr. Ling, please sit down, I will pour water for you."

Jiang Chengyan supported Ling Huaan to sit on the sofa, and said politely: "Miss Sun, you are welcome, we are not thirsty."

"When you come, you are a guest, not to mention it is Chinese New Year now, you are welcome."

Jiang Chengyan didn't say any more after hearing this, and habitually looked at the surrounding environment.The room is very clean, the decoration is also very stylish, and the furniture is very elegant. If you don't know Sun Ting's background, you will definitely think that she is a rich and beautiful woman.

"Officer Jiang, Mr. Ling, I don't know what you like to drink, so I made a pot of black tea. Try it, it tastes good." Sun Ting greeted politely.

Jiang Chengyan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said with a smile, "It tastes really good, thank you."

"Officer Jiang, you're welcome. I should be the one who should say 'thank you'. Yijun's case will bother you."

"This is our responsibility. Don't worry, Ms. Sun, we will do our best. I am here today just for the case. I am making a routine inquiry. I also ask Ms. Sun to cooperate."

"Officer Jiang, you can ask me whatever you want, and I will answer truthfully what I know."

Jiang Chengyan took out the recording pen, opened it, put it on the table, and said, "Miss Sun, when and where was the last time you and Liang Yijun met?"

Sun Ting glanced at the recorder, but did not object, and replied: "The last time Yijun and I met was on the 24th, which is Valentine's Day. We went shopping, eating, and watching movies together like other couples. They don’t go home until after 10 o’clock.”

"You don't live together?"

Sun Ting tied her loose hair behind her ears, and said with some embarrassment: "Although Yijun and I are lovers, we have never had sex."

Jiang Chengyan asked in surprise: "You mean you didn't have sex?"

Sun Ting blushed slightly when asked, and said, "Well, no. I'm more conservative, and Yijun is also very considerate. He promised me not to get married, and not to force me to have sex."

Jiang Chengyan glanced at Ling Huaan, and then asked, "Do you know Wang Ran?"

Sun Ting pulled her hair again, and said somewhat unnaturally: "I know, she is my friend, and I introduced her to join the company."

"Do you know that she was sexually assaulted by Liang Yijun?"

Sun Ting frowned when she heard the words, and said, "How is it possible? Yijun is not that kind of person! Police officer Jiang, are you making a mistake? Yijun has always kept himself clean, even I didn't force him, how could he sexually assault others?"

"Then why did Wang Ran tell others that she was sexually assaulted by Liang Yijun?"

"I don't know why she said that, but Yijun is definitely not that kind of person." Sun Ting tried her best to defend Liang Yijun.

"Then do you know why Wang Ran resigned?"

"I don't know. Three months ago, Wang Ran suddenly disappeared, and I couldn't get in touch with her. I am good friends with her, and Yijun is my boyfriend. If she is really sexually assaulted, it is impossible not to Tell me, someone must be spreading rumors and slandering Yijun."

"You mean that Wang Ran disappeared suddenly?" Jiang Chengyan keenly sensed something was wrong.

Sun Ting nodded and said: "It was quite sudden. I took a day off because of illness the day before, and when I went to work the next day, Wang Ran didn't show up. Her mobile phone was turned off, so I couldn't get in touch. Later Yijun told me that she said she was going to resign and go back to her hometown, and the previous number was no longer used, so I didn’t call again afterwards.”

"Do you know where her hometown is?"

"In Bencheng, I don't know the exact address."

"Miss Sun, today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, why didn't you go home to celebrate the New Year?" Ling Huaan asked suddenly.

"Oh, it's like this. Our company has recently received a big order. Mr. Liang went abroad to sign the contract because of this. He ordered us management employees to be on standby at any time, so I didn't go back."

Ling Huaan then asked: "Where is Miss Sun's hometown?"

"Also in Bincheng, Wang Ran and I became friends just because we are fellow villagers."

Seeing that Ling Huaan stopped asking questions, Jiang Chengyan continued to ask: "On the 16th, that is, before the body was found on New Year's Eve, where were you? Can anyone prove it?"

"On New Year's Eve, I had dinner with some friends at home, and I didn't leave until I went to find him." Sun Ting had a struggling look on her face, hesitated for a while, and said, "Officer Jiang, if I receive a text message, I will go to him." , will he not die?"

"Miss Sun is sad and happy." Jiang Chengyan didn't answer her question directly, because he couldn't give an accurate answer now.

Sun Ting obviously misunderstood, her eyes were red, tears flowed out instantly, and she said: "It's all my fault, if I could have gone earlier, Yijun would not have died."

Ling Hua'an knew the inside story, so he naturally understood what Jiang Chengyan meant, but those who didn't know could easily misunderstand.He sighed helplessly in his heart, and said, "Miss Sun, Captain Jiang means that the exact time of death of the deceased cannot be determined yet, and he cannot answer Miss Sun's question."

"But if I go there sooner, there is still some hope, isn't there?"

"Some things are predestined. Even if Ms. Sun stops it this time, what about next time, next time? It is impossible for people to fight against fate, so Ms. Sun doesn't have to blame herself so much."

"It is impossible for a person to contend with fate... What if fate is unfair? Can we just let it go?" Although Sun Ting obviously restrained her tone, Ling Huaan could still hear her emotional ups and downs.

"Miss Sun, to tell you the truth, I always believe in cause and effect. If you plant good causes, you will get good results, and if you plant evil causes, you will get bad results. The cycle of karma and retribution is not good."

Seeing that Sun Ting was silent, Jiang Chengyan continued: "Miss Sun, please write down the people who had dinner that day and their contact information, so that we can do the implementation work."

"Okay." Sun Ting didn't say much, and cooperatively took out a pen and paper and began to write.

After receiving the note written by Sun Ting, Jiang Chengyan looked at it and said, "Miss Sun, since you haven't returned to your hometown, why don't you celebrate the New Year with your boyfriend?"

"Officer Jiang, there is a custom in our hometown that unmarried men and women cannot celebrate the New Year together, and celebrating the New Year alone feels deserted, so I celebrate the New Year with my friends."

"Then do you know where Liang Yijun went on New Year's Eve?"

"In the morning, he said he was shopping and eating with his friends, and he went home directly in the afternoon."

"Do you know which friend he went shopping with?"

"He didn't say that, and I didn't ask."

Ling Huaan interrupted the conversation between the two and said, "Miss Sun, I'm sorry, can I borrow your bathroom?"

"Yes, Mr. Ling, you are welcome."

Jiang Chengyan helped Ling Huaan to the door of the bathroom. Ling Huaan went in and closed the door behind him. About 3 minutes later, Ling Huaan opened the door and came out, saying, "Team Jiang, the question is almost over. Let's go back."

Jiang Chengyan was stunned, then realized, looked at Sun Ting and said, "Miss Sun, because of the case, I hope you will not leave Hwaseong in the near future. We are here today, and we will go back first."

"Officer Jiang, please take care of the case. If you need to cooperate, just come to me."

"Miss Sun, don't worry, we will do our best to find out the truth."

When he was about to leave, Ling Huaan asked suddenly: "Miss Sun, what brand of perfume do you use? It smells good. I want to buy it as a gift."

Sun Ting was taken aback by the question, and replied: "Coci Beauty Fragrance is sold at counters."

Ling Huaan nodded and said, "Thank you, Miss Sun, take care."

The two didn't stay any longer and left Sun Ting's house directly.In the car, Jiang Chengyan looked at Ling Huaan and asked, "Hua An, did you find anything?"

"When you asked about Wang Ran, the female ghost's reaction was a little big. I suspect that the female ghost is related to Wang Ran, or she is Wang Ran."

Jiang Chengyan asked in shock: "You mean that Wang Ran is probably dead?"

"Well, it's possible. It's better for Team Jiang to check."

Jiang Chengyan pondered for a while, and said, "Hua An, is there something wrong with Sun Ting's perfume?"

Ling Huaan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Don't Team Jiang think that Sun Ting smells very good? And this scent is a little familiar."

"Very fragrant?" Jiang Chengyan frowned, and said, "Why didn't I smell any fragrance? Hua An, you didn't go to the bathroom to study some perfume, did you?"

Ling Huaan said with a smile: "No, I really want to go to the bathroom."

Jiang Chengyan was a little annoyed, and said threateningly: "What's wrong with the perfume? If you keep playing tricks, I'll go to the guest room to sleep at night."

"Okay, I haven't slept in the guest room yet, just trying to see if the bed is soft enough."

"Ling Hua'an!"

Seeing that Jiang Chengyan showed signs of becoming angry, Ling Huaan quickly said: "Okay, I won't tease you. You have smelled that kind of fragrance before. It's not perfume, but rhino horn."

"Rhino horn incense? You mean the kind that Lin Shao burned?"

"Well, 'A raw rhinoceros cannot be burned, it has a strange fragrance when it burns, and if it sticks to your clothes, it can be used by humans, and it can communicate with ghosts'."

"Then Sun Ting knows the existence of the grieving ghost and has seen her."

"It's not just as simple as seeing it. Rhinoceros horn incense is very precious, and you may not be able to buy it if you have money. Sun Ting is willing to take it out and burn it, which is enough to show that she has a certain relationship with the grieving ghost. In addition, she is not affected by the grieving ghost. Influence, it means that she wears a high-level amulet on her body, this kind of amulet can only be made by a master, with so much capital, and entanglement with the ghost, I can only say that Sun Ting's purpose is not simple."

Jiang Chengyan frowned, and said: "But Sun Ting has witnesses on New Year's Eve. This will be confirmed soon. She should not lie. Based on the time of Liang Yijun's death, the possibility of her being the murderer can basically be ruled out."

Ling Hua'an pondered for a while, and said: "I think the key point of this case lies in Wang Ran. It's better for Team Jiang to start here. Maybe there will be unexpected gains."

"Okay." Jiang Chengyan paused, and then said, "What about Liang Yijun's soul? Are we still looking for it?"

"You don't need to look for it. In all likelihood, it has already been swallowed up by the grieving ghosts around Sun Ting."

"How to say?"

"The night when the incident happened, the resentment on the ghost was slightly resolved, but when I saw him again today, the resentment was deeper and stronger. In such a short period of time, it can only be done by devouring the ghost."

"Then why didn't you catch her?"

"In order not to startle the snake."
