When he said this, Liao Cunxue's face was full of envy.

Hu Pingtao was brewing the words in his mind, and said seemingly casually: "There are ways to make money, and there are risks in investing. I heard that the house you want to buy is a relocation house, which is very different from a commercial house!"

His tone was gentle, and the topic scratched Liao Cunxue's itch, which largely eliminated Liao Cunxue's defensiveness: "The relocation house has the advantages of the relocation house! Although it is not the same price as commercial housing, it is still a house after all, and it only needs to be livable.

."

"Officer, let me tell you the truth! Before the demolition, I was not married. At that time, I divided my house into several rooms. I lived in the innermost room and rented out the three outside rooms. Because

The house is small, and the rent is very cheap. Each room costs 500 yuan per month, which works out to 1,500 yuan a month."

"This person is different from other people, and houses are different from house to house. Officer, don't think I haven't gone to college, but when it comes to making money, college students may not be as good as me. The price of a commercial house is twice as much as that of a relocation house."

It’s so much that I can’t afford it even if I sell everything! But the purpose of buying a house is to live in it. The top leaders also said, “Houses are not for speculation, but for living in.” I buy a house to rent and make money.”

"The area of ​​Yanhe New Village is right at the junction of urban and suburban areas. Next to it is the industrial park, and further south is the university town. If it is a complete house, it will definitely be difficult to rent. Students cannot afford the monthly rent of more than 1,000 yuan.

I plan to renovate the house after I buy it. Just like before, one apartment will be divided into several rooms, so that the rent will only be 500 yuan. Small profits but quick turnover! How can two apartments be divided into ten small rooms?

, that’s five thousand yuan a month.”

Hu Pingtao smiled lightly: "I didn't realize it, but you are quite business-minded."

When talking about this topic, Liao Cunxue seemed a little excited: "I know that my wife is capable. When the matchmaker introduced her, she said that she was very good at making snacks, and he also showed me her salary list for that month... What a good guy.

, a total of more than 10,000! It was precisely because I thought she was good in this area that I married her."

"Later, my wife got pregnant, so she stopped going to work and stayed at home to raise the baby..."

Hearing this, Hu Pingtao quickly interrupted and asked in surprise: "Gong Xinxia has been pregnant? But you don't have children?"

Liao Cunxue lowered his head and replied in a low voice: "She is very sensitive to pregnancy. When she didn't have her menstrual period at first, she went to the drugstore to buy pregnancy test strips and made them at home. Later she went to the hospital for a diagnosis, and Xinxia was still fine

I was happy, but I don’t know why, almost three months later, she secretly beat the child without telling me."

"I had a fight with her that day. I really wanted a child! But Xinxia said that I usually smoked and drank, and she wasn't sure whether the child would be affected, so she went to the hospital for surgery."

Xing Le nodded slightly: "What she said does make sense. Nicotine and alcohol will affect the fetus, and the possibility of malformation is very high."

Liao Cunxue raised his head and said angrily: "Even if this is the case, she should discuss it with me! After all, I am also the father of the child, so the child is not hers alone."

Hu Pingtao followed the conversation and asked: "So since then, you have been having conflicts?"

Liao Cunxue was silent for a moment and replied: "This is just one of the reasons. I am quite tolerant. If the child is gone, it will be gone. Anyway, we are still young and she can still get pregnant. But since then, Xinxia has been picking on me.

He raised eyebrows and said that I have no ability and can't make money."

Xing Le asked doubtfully: "What do you do?"

Liao Cunxue looked a little embarrassed, and his voice was lower than before: "I... do a lot of work... I used to do business in an advertising company, worked as a security guard, and also worked as a rickshaw rider for a period of time. But I couldn't do it.

Chief, because the salary is too small, it only costs two to three thousand yuan a month... Well, it is definitely enough for me to eat by myself, but if I add Xinxia, ​​it will..."

He didn't say the rest of it, but the meaning was clear to everyone.

Xing Le asked while recording: "Your wife wants you to work alone to support the family?"

Liao Cunxue answered hesitantly: "...It wasn't like this at the beginning. She used her money at home, and I used mine. After she got pregnant, when she came back from the hospital for a checkup, she kept saying she wanted to buy something for her child.

Regarding milk powder, I mentioned several brands, but they were all imported and very expensive. I didn’t think it was necessary, so I said, “Domestic milk powder is the same.” From then on, her attitude towards me changed.

"

"I don't think there is anything wrong with this! So many children in the village grew up drinking domestic milk powder. I didn't even drink milk powder when I was a child, and I'm not healthy now. As for children, rice cereal and other things can be used

Eat, what’s the big deal?”

"Later Xinxia had an operation, she told me that she would not contribute a penny to the family expenses in the future. Since she married me, I have to pay for the money."

Xing Le opened his mouth without thinking: "There's nothing wrong with that!"

Liao Cunxue frowned and looked at her, arguing hard and counting each item to her with his fingers: "Why! Water and electricity bills, gas bills, and property management... Which of them are free of charge? We are all married and live together.

, the two people should share it equally. The money seems to be bits and pieces, but it adds up to a big sum. I only have a small salary a month, so I have to pay it all, and the remaining money is only a thousand dollars.

There’s not even enough to eat.”

Hu Pingtao felt funny in his heart, but it didn't show on his face. He advised: "You are a man, why bother with this."

Liao Cunxue shook his head and complained: "It's impossible not to care about it! Things in this family must be handled by two people together. I did save some money before, but I can't last long with Xinxia's way of living...

I'm not getting married here! I'm just causing trouble for myself."

Hu Pingtao said: "Actually, you can discuss and solve the problem. You can tell her your difficulties. I think your wife is not the kind of unreasonable person."

Liao Cunxue sighed: "She is really unreasonable. She couldn't listen to a word she said. After aborting the child, she was thinking about opening a cake shop. I know she has money, but she just has one point.

She is unwilling to take out the money. Every time I mention this matter, Xinxia yells, "The money belongs to her and has nothing to do with me." Tell me, what can I do in this situation? "

Xing Le narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "This involves the issue of pre-marital property... Have you done notarization?"

Liao Cunxue nodded: "I did it. She said at the time that if I didn't do the notarization, she wouldn't marry me."

Hu Pingtao did not delve into this issue. He changed the subject and asked: "Didn't Gong Xinxia always want to open a cake shop? Why has there been no movement for such a long time?"

Liao Cunxue explained: "To open a store, you first have to find a place. In fact, I agree with her idea. I said that although I can't make dim sum, I can help you in other ways. Xinxia agreed at the time and took me out to see the store.

"We originally planned to find a suitable place nearby, but there are few people in this area, and the planned commercial area has not been developed. If we open a store rashly, we will not be able to get back the money we invested."

Xing Le asked puzzledly: "You can open a store in a busy area of ​​the city!"

Liao Cunxue said: "The rent in that kind of place is expensive, and it is far away from home, so it is inconvenient to come and go. Anyway, I put the store on hold for the time being, and Xinxia became lazy and played mahjong in a nearby teahouse all day long."

"

"Staying at home all the time is not an option. I can't just sit back and live in vain. I was thinking about finding a way to make money. It happened that a friend in the village wanted to sell a house. Although it was a relocation house, the price was cheap. I just needed to decorate it and rent it out.

.Like I said before, if you divide it into small rooms, you can make thousands of dollars a month."

"I didn't have enough money, and I didn't have a good relationship with the elderly at home. After much deliberation, I had no choice but to go to Xinxia. She didn't agree with anything she said, so the matter fell apart."

With just a few words, Liao Cunxue brought this matter up, but Hu Pingtao didn't intend to let him go just like that, and asked: "I heard that you and your wife even fought over this matter?"

Liao Cunxue's expression suddenly changed: "Who did you listen to?"

Hu Pingtao said frankly: "Your father-in-law. How about I call him now and ask him again?"

Liao Cunxue suddenly collapsed on the sofa like a frustrated ball: "...Forget it, since he said it...you can believe whatever he says!"

Hu Pingtao observed the emotional changes on his face and half-dissuaded and half-guided, saying: "Fighting can't solve the problem. It's better to sit down and discuss it carefully."

A hint of bitterness appeared on Liao Cunxue's face: "Now that you all know, I have nothing to say. I... we were just speculating at the beginning, and as for fighting... I am not Xinxia's opponent."

Xing Le just came here today to investigate. He didn't know about this situation, so he was very surprised. He blurted out without thinking: "You are a grown man, but you can't beat your wife?"

Liao Cunxue glanced at her and said coldly: "She has been pampered at home since she was a child. She eats well and is strong. It would be strange if I could beat her."

Hu Pingtao raised his hand to block Xing Le, who was about to retort, and asked casually: "Do you know Zhang Hao?"

This is a very good entry point.

When we were dividing the work at the police station, we agreed to swap Xing Le and Zhang Fengyuan because of the quarrels and fights between Gong Xinxia and Liao Cunxue. Xing Le is impatient, so he might be able to use it at some point.

When humans are thinking normally, a question suddenly comes from next to them, interrupting their thinking, and the person being asked will always give a subconscious answer.

Sure enough, Liao Cunxue opened his mouth and replied: "We know him."

"Is he your friend?" Hu Pingtao changed the concept and did not mention Gong Xinxia.

Gong Wei said that Gong Xinxia met Zhang Hao through Liao Cunxue. Regardless of the relationship between the three people, "acquaintance" and "friend" are two different concepts.

Liao Cunxue had come to his senses, hesitantly said "hmm" and nodded.

Hu Pingtao fired a series of questions like a mortar: "How did you and Zhang Hao meet?"

"I heard that Zhang Hao often comes to your house for dinner?"

"Zhang Hao knows your wife?"

"You call Zhang Hao now and ask him to come over and cooperate with our investigation."

There were too many questions and the questioning was too fast. Liao Cunxue was caught off guard. He subconsciously answered: "I...I met him when I was working before."

Hu Pingtao asked without hesitation: "Where do you work? What do you do?"

"It's early, it should have been seven or eight years." Liao Cunxue finally cleared his mind: "We were in an advertising company at that time, and we were both salesmen. He and I got along very well, and we often got together to drink."

Hu Pingtao spoke very fast: "Call him now and ask him to come over."

Liao Cunxue moved his right hand, as if he wanted to put his hand into his trouser pocket: "... Zhang Hao's phone number seems to be lost, and I can't contact him."

Hu Pingtao looked at his face: "Have you contacted Zhang Hao recently?"

"Um...ah..." Liao Cunxue's eyes twitched, and he took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket very slowly: "I'll call him now."

Xing Le, who was standing next to him, also saw something was wrong: "Didn't you just say that he lost his cell phone?"

Liao Cunxue finally returned to his normal thinking path in the chaos, and opened his mouth to explain: "I called him yesterday, but he didn't answer."

Hu Pingtao asked meaningfully: "Just because he didn't answer the call, you think he lost his phone?"

Liao Cunxue looked a little flustered: "...That's it, I called Zhang Hao before, but he didn't answer. Then he called me and said he lost his phone."

"When did this happen?" Hu Pingtao asked.
