Mouth is very dry

  He seemed to have sensed our puzzled gaze, and he glanced over at us, his eyes lingering on me. "Now it's time for the master-disciple lesson. You tell me, why didn't you ask the first witness about their alibi during the interrogation?"

  Suddenly such a question popped up, and I was stumped.

  After a few seconds of silence, Gao Cheng suddenly snapped his fingers on my forehead and said in a low voice: "Use your brain."

  I felt embarrassed with others watching, but my mind started racing and after a moment of speculation, I asked: "Was it because his car was caught on camera when he left the city?"

  Gao Cheng looked at me faintly and said, "You're still quite clever."

  Xu Jianglun nodded in agreement: "Du Xiangyuan's car has surveillance footage at different times when entering and leaving the city, as well as on highways. Moreover, evidence was also collected from A City, which confirms that he had an alibi." He then turned to Gao Cheng with a curious expression: "Gao, can you explain why you think the person who repaired the car is Ma Tiao, and the one who went to the 4S store for maintenance is Qin Yali?"

  But Gao Cheng threw the question back at me: "You tell me."

  I'm speechless, it's unreasonable and baseless, how am I supposed to know? You're really making things difficult for me.

  He gave me a disdainful look and slowly opened his mouth: "Judging some things can be done from multiple angles, language, attitude is one of them, occupation, character, age, even gender are all based on. Ma Tao, stock manager, 40 years old, male, language communication ability to judge that he has been in this industry for no more than five years, and had a simple packaging before entering the industry, the car was one of them, with his economic ability at that time, the price of the Volkswagen brand car was the most suitable."

  He looked at me and said, "My mouth is very dry."

  I was still reeling from his incisive reasoning and analysis, staring at him blankly.

  Xu Jianglun was still quick-witted and immediately poured a glass of water from the nearby water dispenser. However, Gao Cheng's expression remained unchanged as he glanced at it briefly but didn't take it, continuing to stare at me, making the atmosphere suddenly awkward.

  Helpless, I had to go and pour another cup. This time he took a sip and continued: "As for Qin Ya Li, it's even easier to judge. Female, 25 years old, driving a white Honda model that women love. Since she just started working, she borrowed some money when buying the car, which should have been paid off recently. She usually stays in the city and doesn't drive much, so she follows the rule of maintenance every six months. As for other things, I don't need to explain further, do I?"

  Indeed, everything is clear now.

  Ma Tao's car has been bought for many years and is already an old car. If it was scratched by a friend, he wouldn't mind. But Qin Yali not only had just bought a new car half a year ago, but also from the perspective of female psychology, generally doesn't like to lend her car to friends to drive.

  After Gao Cheng finished speaking, Xu Jianglun went to flip through the materials in his hand. When he looked up, his face was full of surprise: "She really did buy the car in May, the total price of the car is 120,000 yuan, with a down payment of 70,000 yuan and a loan of 50,000 yuan."

  I had a sudden movement in my heart and asked: "How many years did she borrow? Is there really anyone who has paid off the loan?"

  "It was a two-year period, but last month on October 10th, she paid off all the remaining balance."

  The two fell silent at the same time.

  Six months ago, I bought a car and borrowed a two-year loan of 500,000 yuan. However, last month, Qin Yali paid it off in full. Where did this money come from? I couldn't help but look at Gao Cheng, who was staring at the surveillance video. Just now, the three witnesses were arranged to be in the same room after they finished their written statements, as indicated by him.
