  Tú Jīngjīng went to the kitchen to prepare three cups of tea, then sat on the sofa and took a deep breath before starting her story.

  "I'll just repeat what I said at the police station earlier. Wei Qi and I were in love for three years, married for three years. When we first got married, our lives were simple, but he was devoted to me. I never thought that when our lives improved and he made more money, he would become a philandering man.

  In the second year of our marriage, he started job-hopping frequently, earning more with each jump. We then had this villa, and when he said the property rights belonged to me personally, I thought I had married the best man in the world. But who could have imagined that it was just his compensation for feeling guilty towards me?

  Yes, I knew he had a mistress outside, hiding her in a golden house. I don't understand, is a man really happy when he's surrounded by so many women? Humph! The truth proved that Wei Qi wasn't happy. He said he was tired and wanted to get rid of all this. To be honest, he's planning to divorce me and move to another city to start a new life."

  "About Cai Wei Qi's work, how much do you know?"

  "I almost knew nothing, he said it was a man's business, and told me to ask less, care less." Tu Jingjing sipped her tea and glanced at Gu Hanhao.

  "If I'm not mistaken, you've taken quite a few anti-theft measures around this house because there's a lot of cash and jewelry hidden here. You haven't deposited the money into a bank or insured the jewelry, right? Because that's what Cai Weiqi demanded. He only gave you cash, and he himself always used cash too. His credit cards and deposit books only had a small portion for show." Gu Hanhao stared tightly at Tu Jingjing, "Don't you feel curious about his financial situation?"

  Tú Jīngjīng was shocked, feeling a bit unnatural as if she had been seen through. She immediately pretended to be calm and said, "I really don't know anything about his work or financial situation, I just told Captain Yán the same thing. After all, I'm just an abandoned wife, you'd better go ask Wěi Kè's mistress, they must know more than me. As for here, where would I have so much cash and jewelry? Cài Wěi Kè only gave me this house and a monthly living allowance, now there's only the house left."

  "So, how much do you know about those lovers?" Ling Lan interrupted and asked.

  Tú Jīngjīng shook her head, "I don't know who specifically, there are a few I'm not clear about, but it seems like one of them just got better recently. I actually don't know how many phones and SIM cards Weiqi has, but a month ago he applied for a new card. He doesn't use those kinds of phones that can hold multiple cards and wait, I think he's afraid of getting them mixed up."

  "Just because he opened a new card, you think he's found a new lover?" Ling Lan asked.

  "About ten days ago, Wei Qi moved out of the house. I remember that on the night before he left, I heard him calling a woman's name in his sleep. He said '??, meeting you is the luckiest thing that has happened to me in my life.' Before that, Wei Qi never talked in his sleep. When he said 'meeting', it should be that they haven't been together for long." As she spoke, a hint of resentment flashed across Tú Jīngjīng's eyes.

  "Can you think of any connection between Cai Wei Qi and vampires?" Gu Han Hao suddenly asked.

  Tú Jīngjīng was clearly startled by the question, "This...this is where this comes from? I know there have been rumors about this in S City recently, but what does it have to do with Wěi Qí?"

  "So, where were you between 9 and 11 last night?"

  Tú Jīngjīng wasn't too surprised, as she had just answered this question at the police station. "I invited a female online friend to my home. Lately, I've been feeling down because of my impending divorce, and it so happens that this friend is also facing marital problems. We were consoling each other together. We kept the lights on and sat in the living room; our neighbors should have seen us. I'll give you her contact information - she's a nurse at a private clinic."

  Gu Hanhao took over the note with a phone number and name written on it from Tu Jingjing, glanced at it and put it in his pocket.

  After leaving Zhu Jingjing's residence, Gu Hanhao drove to Cai Weiqi's workplace, Zhisheng Environmental Protection Company.

  "Now it seems that Cai Weiqi's case has nothing to do with Qiu Feng, the 'vampire', and the only connection is this Tu Jingjing's alibi witness," Ling Lan looked at the note paper, "Huang Shan, a nurse from a private clinic. Could it be Dr. Huo's clinic? I heard that Shao Meiyan's personal doctor, Dr. Huo, has a private clinic."

  Gu Hanhao also had this idea, "You make a phone call and ask."

  Ling Lan received the instruction and was somewhat excited, carefully pressing down Huang Sang's phone number.

  "Hello, excuse me, is this Nurse Huang Shan?" Ling Lan was very friendly and polite. "Yes, I'd like to make an appointment with your hospital's President Dr. Huo. My brother's illness is urgent and we'd like to visit Dr. Huo this afternoon." "Oh, okay, thank you anyway."

  Ling Lan hung up the phone and looked at Gu Hanhao with a sense of accomplishment, "Brother, Nurse Huang said that Dr. Huo will be doing psychological counseling for a certain miss for the next few days, so he probably won't have time. She said if your condition is really urgent, you can find Dr. Cheng from their hospital."

  Gu Hanhao smiled and glanced at Ling Lan, "Not bad, this little sister of yours is quite teachable."

  As the car approached the entrance of Zhisheng Environmental Protection Company, Gu Hanhao saw several police cars parked downstairs at a glance.

  "It seems we're a step too late again." Ling Lan sighed, "Should we wait for them to leave before going in?"

  Gu Hanhao stopped the car at the corner, "Let's wait and see."

  This wait was already an hour, and Ling Lan was so hungry that her stomach was growling. There was no way around it, so Gu Han Hao told her to go buy something to eat first. Ling Lan was somewhat unwilling - she had originally thought that following a rich person like Gu Han Hao would at least solve the problem of lunch.

  Just as Ling Lan returned to the car with two hamburgers, two roasted sausages, and two cups of milk tea, he happened to see several police officers in uniform driving a man with handcuffs out of the company gate, followed by Yan Lixing, who looked quite pleased.

  "Unbelievable, they caught the culprit?" Ling Lan slipped into the car and asked Gu Hanhao with wide eyes, "What to do, they're actually leading us now!"

  Gu Hanhao's eyebrows furrowed even tighter, "This isn't a competition, I also hope they catch the real culprit. I think it's inconvenient for us to go back into the company to investigate at this time, let's do it like this, tomorrow morning we'll receive news about what progress Yan Lixing has made."

  Ling Lan felt a bit disappointed, gazing at the two hamburgers and sighing, "I've always thought that this case must be related to Cai Weiqi's several lovers. This philandering man was definitely ruined by women, but they caught a man instead."

  Gu Hanhao was amused by Ling Lan's words, "Come on, let's go eat at a restaurant, no more hamburgers."

  Ling Lan took a big bite of her hamburger and said vaguely, "No way, wasting food is shameful, you finish yours."

  Gu Hanhao usually doesn't bother with these trivial matters, but now that he thinks about it, he realizes he wasted a lot of food in the past. If those stored goods in the fridge hadn't gone bad, taking them out to help vagrants would have been a good deed too.

  "Eat, this meal is on you, of course we have to eat." Gu Hanhao picked up the roasted sausage and took a big bite.

  Ling Lan saw that Gu Han Hao actually listened to her so obediently, and she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. She took a sip of milk tea and said, "Let's go out for dinner again tonight."
