Chapter 51 Left and Right

It may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that they are exactly the same. After all, there are definitely differences in the floor plans of high-end residential buildings and single-family villas.

But precisely because of the difference, at just one glance, Pan Yao's bedroom still gave Zhou Shi and Xu Yiqing a sense of déjà vu of He Yunke's home, which is enough to explain the problem.

This is deliberately decorated like this.

Xu Yiqing had a good memory. He visually assessed the decoration of the bedroom and said, "Although the styles of the curtains, bed and even bedside tables look similar at first glance, there are still differences when you look closely. The difference in size is even more obvious. It is not a copycat."

He guessed, "Pan Yao, He Yunke, and Zou Yi are all old classmates. Maybe Pan Yao visited He Yunke's home when she was renovating it and learned from him? Because she couldn't afford the same style, she bought something similar."

He Yunke is an executive of a multinational company with an annual salary of at least several million. The decoration of his home is very luxurious, and the furniture are naturally expensive luxury goods.

If the bed from his house were moved here, the bedroom in Pan Yao's high-end apartment would probably be full.

Zhou Shi said: "It is precisely because the size and style of the furniture are different that it can better illustrate the problem."

She walked into the bedroom and stood between the end of the bed and the wall. "Just in terms of proportion, the length of the bed and the length of the room are proportional to He Yunke's bedroom."

Xu Yiqing thought for a moment and replied, "It means the size of the bed was specially chosen to restore that feeling."

Zhou Shi nodded: "Not only the bed, but also the bedside tables, wardrobes and even the hooks on the coat rack are all restored to the proportions as much as possible. This is no longer as simple as borrowing decoration styles, but creating a familiar environment. I have analyzed it before. He Yunke is a nostalgic person, so the person who designed and decorated this bedroom..."

Xu Yiqing suddenly realized and continued, "It's He Yunke!"

Zhou Shi said: "I just helped my old classmate design the room. There is no need to follow my own habits. So he lived here."

Although there is no evidence, guessing the suspect's psychology through behavior is the meaning of criminal psychology. Zhou Shi's professional knowledge is enough to give her the confidence to make a conclusion.

He Yunke must have lived here before, and it was not just a simple overnight stay, but a long-term residence!

Putting aside the question of solving the case, Xu Yiqing and Zhou Shi stood at the bedroom door and looked inside.

The room is bright and clean, the furniture is very beautiful, and the arrangement is reasonable and aesthetic. The open curtains let in good light, making people feel relaxed and happy.

It has to be said that He Yunke's passion for art is not just a simple matter of passion, he really devotes his energy to research.

However, the two of them were obviously not in the mood to enjoy it.

The results from the constant pursuit of clues made the task force feel that solving the case was just around the corner. Although old mysteries would always lead to new ones, everyone knew that they were getting closer and closer to the final answer.

They were gradually peeling off He Yunke's exterior and peeking into his heart.

Xu Yiqing quietly told Du Yu what he found in the bedroom and Zhou Shi's conclusion. Du Yu understood and began to question Pan Yao.

Pan Yao asked: "Why are you looking for me? I haven't broken any law."

Du Yu said: "Don't be nervous, it's just some routine inquiries, I didn't say you broke the law."

Pan Yao was still a little skeptical. She looked at the police officer who was taking the statement next to her and was obviously not convinced.

But her childhood education still made her conscious of cooperating with the police, so she nodded and said, "Go ahead and ask."

Du Yu said: "Do you know He Yunke? We know that you two were high school classmates."

Pan Yao frowned, obviously the name touched her.

Even people who don't understand psychology can see that Pan Yao's face was not very good and a little angry, indicating that there had been a disagreement between the two.

"I don't want to mention him. I have nothing to do with him anymore... If I haven't broken the law, do I have the right not to answer?"

Du Yu said: "Yes, but please cooperate with us."

Pan Yao asked: "Tell me what happened to him first."

Du Yu thought for a moment and said, "He is dead."

Pan Yao was obviously stunned, "Dead? How did he die?"

Du Yu spread his hands and said, "We are still checking. There are call records with you in his phone."

Pan Yao's eyes were a little evasive: "There must be a lot of people with call records, right?"

Du Yu said: "We will also check the suspicious persons in other contact lists one by one..."

He was a little puzzled. At first, Pan Yao was quite cooperative and let the serious crime team in smoothly. She even poured water as a treat and acted as if "I haven't broken any law, so don't ask anything you want."

Why are you becoming so stubborn now?

Zhou Shi coughed twice and whispered, "Boss Du, let me ask."

"Then you come."

He gave Zhou Shi some room, saying that it didn't matter who asked, as long as they could get some useful clues.

Zhou Shi sat in front of Pan Yao, and just the eye contact made Pan Yao's resistance ease a little.

Zhou Shi took a psychological counseling course in college. Experienced psychological counselors have to face various self-enclosed patients every day.

The first lesson the instructor teaches is not to analyze this or that, but to teach you how to make patients willing to talk to you.

"It's nothing to be ashamed of actually. I guess we are victims too, right?"

Pan Yao was somewhat moved by Zhou Shi's gentle tone and the way he brought people closer.

A woman's sixth sense told Pan Yao that the beautiful and elegant woman in front of her already knew her secret.

So Pan Yao sighed and said sincerely, "I really didn't know at the time that he was already married... and had a child! Otherwise, why would I agree? Isn't that a masochistic thing?"

Du Yu raised his eyebrows, and Xu Yiqing began to rub his chin.

Oh wow, there’s something new!
Although they had some suspicions after hearing Zhou Shi's analysis that He Yunke had lived here, they were still a little surprised when they heard it from the person himself.

In the photo, He Yunke, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes and looks handsome, is not only a little perverted, but he is also having an affair? !
Du Yu felt contempt in his heart. Could he be worthy of his wife and two children at home?

He has a family of his own, and feels he owes it to his family due to his busy official duties all year round. He despises men who play two-timing the most.

Xu Yiqing was thinking in her heart, did Zou Yi know about this? If she knew, wouldn't she have a motive for committing the crime?
No, Pan Yao actually has a greater motive to say that. After all, she now knows for sure that she has been a mistress, and she has also expressed her hatred towards He Yunke verbally.

Zhou Shi was not surprised at all, she had guessed it long ago.

A woman's intuition and the advantage of specializing in psychology made her realize that there was something fishy the moment she heard that He Yunke often communicated with his former female classmates.

But she still expressed sympathy for Pan Yao.

Du Yu asked: "You really don't know that He Yunke is married? His wife is also your classmate. Don't old classmates keep in touch at all?"

Pan Yao shook her head: "We all used QQ at that time, but later we switched to WeChat when we grew up, and we no longer have the contact information of many classmates. Besides, high school classmates were often divided into different classes at that time, and the relationship between classmates was actually just like that. There were many who stopped contacting after graduation."

Xu Yiqing and Du Yu looked at each other. It sounded quite reasonable.

Zhou Shi asked: "When did you start?"

"Are you asking about being together or..."

"It counts as the beginning of an affair." "Oh, that's been a while, we've been chatting since he was studying abroad several years ago."

Pan Yao was a little embarrassed. "Should I say this? He Yunke was the most handsome boy in our school. He was handsome and good at studying. I heard his family was rich, so they sent him abroad. I had a crush on him at the time, and after graduation I only paid attention to him occasionally."

"Then suddenly one day, he started to contact me frequently on the chat app. I thought he was interested in me, so we kept chatting. After about a year or two, he returned to China after completing his further studies. Occasionally, he would come to see me when he was on a business trip. After a while, we..."

Du Yu frowned and calculated the time. It was just not long after He Yunke got married, and Zou Yi was probably pregnant.

He cheated on his wife when she was pregnant. Isn't he a complete scumbag?

As a result, Du Yu's impression of He Yunke took a sharp turn for the worse, but his duty as a policeman required him to do his best. Even if He Yunke was a scumbag, he had to make sure He Yunke died with a clear conscience.

Xu Yiqing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Did He Yunke tell you about his views on children during that time?"

"Children..." Pan Yao thought for a moment and said, "He really doesn't like children. Every time he passes by a kindergarten on a date and sees parents picking up their children from school, he always looks disgusted."

Seeing that no one was talking, Pan Yao shrank her neck and said, "Officer, it's okay to hate children, right? I don't like children either. They are so noisy, and some rude ones can make people angry to death. There is one upstairs in my house..."

"Okay, okay, this is everyone's freedom, we won't care about it." Du Yu quickly stretched out his hand to stop her from continuing.

Having said that, the three members of the task force all had the same picture in their minds.

It was an oil painting.

"The God of Agriculture Eats His Son".

According to Pan Yao's confession, He Yunke really hated children.

Is there any connection between the two?
Zhou Shi continued to ask: "How did you find out that He Yunke has a family?"

Pan Yao was very angry when she heard this: "Just a few months ago! I saw a high school classmate in my circle of friends helping to forward a missing person notice. I saw it was him, and it said he had been missing since last year. I was still wondering, he had always lived with me, how could he be missing? After asking carefully, I found out that it was his wife who was looking for him. His wife was also my high school classmate!"

When these words were spoken, the eyes of the task force members widened.

So He Yunke was hiding in Pan Yao's house during the time he was missing?

Du Yu asked quickly, "You mean that after He Yunke disappeared last year, he lived with you?"

Pan Yao nodded: "Yes, he said he was transferred back to Jiangcheng for work reasons, and after a while he confessed his love to me, bought me a house, and we lived together."

"Then he is also responsible for the decoration?" Zhou Shi asked.

Pan Yao said: "I don't know how to do anything, it was all his fault. At that time, I thought I had found true love, he was rich and responsible... but he turned out to be a scumbag!"

She started crying when she got to this point. The amount of information was really too much, and everyone had to sort out their thoughts, so they let Pan Yao finish crying and calm down before continuing to ask questions.

"He Yunke died a few months ago. Do you have any idea?" Du Yu said bluntly.

Pan Yao was a little panicked when she heard this, and waved her hands repeatedly: "I don't know, I saw the missing person notice on WeChat Moments at that time, and we had broken up...or not, we had broken up, I thought I was dumped. We had a fight before that, and then he suddenly left...I really don't know!"

Du Yu frowned and asked, "What time?"

"At the beginning of the year..." Pan Yao frowned and thought carefully, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "It was probably around the seventh day of the first lunar month. I remember something happened in the countryside that day. There was a fire somewhere! That night, he suddenly became very irritable. I was also upset at the time, so we had a quarrel. He didn't come back that night, and then I couldn't find him."

The seventh day is a big fire!

It’s a fire in Baxia Village!
Sure enough, there is some connection between this series of events, and He Yunke is an insider!

Xu Yiqing asked: "During the time that He Yunke lived with you, did he say anything? Like... old classmates and friends, or any enemies?"

Pan Yao said, "No, he didn't mention it to his former classmates, otherwise how would I not know that he married Zou Yi? I did hear him talk about his enemies."

"During that time, he seldom went out. I asked him if he didn't need to go to work. He said he could work from home, and that he would try to reduce the number of times he went out in the future. I asked him why, and he said that a creditor who he had a good relationship with before but had a falling out with might have returned to Jiangcheng recently, and he was afraid of running into him."

Du Yu frowned: "Creditor?"

Pan Yao nodded: "I was thinking how much money he owed, and he was actually afraid of the creditor... He made so much money a month. I asked him, and he said that he didn't owe money, it was always complicated, but he didn't say. I asked what the creditor's name was and what he looked like, so that if he found me, I would have an idea of ​​the amount."

"What did He Yunke say?"

"He still refused to tell me, and said that he was a good friend in the past, and that he was working as a cleaner, but later fell out. I thought that none of my classmates worked as cleaners, so he probably wasn't a high school classmate. He might be a friend he met abroad."

"Sometimes I would hear him talking to himself, saying things like he wouldn't ask everyone for money or something like that." Pan Yao spread her hands, looking nonchalant, "As long as he doesn't ask me for money, it's fine. Besides, He Yunke doesn't seem to be in financial difficulty and is quite generous in spending money on me. I think that's enough, and I never asked again."

Du Yu understood and asked, "Why did you quarrel on the seventh day?"

Pan Yao said: "He is crazy. He suddenly said he wanted to move out with me. He asked me to pack my luggage without me even preparing. I asked him why he didn't tell me, but I refused. He then changed his mind and said he wanted to take me on a trip, which was a perfect excuse. Then he got angry, smashed things, and beat me! I told him to get out, and he slammed the door and left."

Speaking of this, Pan Yao was furious. "He beat a woman! And it hurt so much, I was so angry. I thought I would find him and scold him the next day after he calmed down, and let him see how badly I beat him. But the next day, there was not even a bruise, and he was gone."

The task force gained a lot from this trip and learned some details.

Du Yu said: "Thank you for your cooperation. Please keep your phone open and we may contact you again."

Pan Yao asked: "Will I get paid for helping solve the case?"

Du Yu said: "That would require significant help. Anyway, you are welcome to provide any clues in the future."

The task force decided to disband and looked around to find that one person was missing.

Xu Yiqing was not in the living room.

"Lao Xu, it's time to pack up!" Du Yu shouted at the door: "Where have you been?"

Xu Yiqing poked his head out of the corridor and said to Du Yu who was standing at the entrance: "Captain Du, come here, I think something is wrong."

"What's wrong?" When everyone went over, they saw Xu Yiqing standing in the corridor, stretching out his left hand and then his right hand.

He retreated back into the living room and then slowly walked into the hallway with his eyes closed.

"If He Yunke is someone who is extremely nostalgic and even willing to restore every detail, then he has restored the room as closely as possible. Would he forget details like the direction?"

"Just tell me what you mean."

Xu Yiqing still closed his eyes, "In He Yunke's house, the bedroom is on the left, right?"

He pushed open the door on the left and saw an ordinary study.

Zhou Shi nodded: "Yes."

At that time, she, Xu Yiqing and Lin Sheng went to He Yunke's bedroom to do reagent testing, and she remembered it very clearly.

The corridor in He Yunke's house, entering from the living room, the bedroom is on the left.

Xu Yiqing took two steps forward and reached the end of the corridor. "By analogy, the room on my right should be..."

He also pushed open the door, and inside was Pan Yao's bedroom.

Zhou Shi suddenly realized: "In He Yunke's house, this is a storage room full of statues!"
