Seeing that Lu Haiyan's state was going out of control, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei comforted her, and at the same time adjusted the rhythm of the questioning according to Lu Haiyan's inner state.
Especially from Lu Haiyan's initial lie as a breakthrough point, she is dissecting the truth bit by bit.
At least Gu Chen is clear now that the matter between Wang Jiayao and Wang Xinyu back then did not seem to be as Lu Haiyan said.
At least, the relationship between the two is still a mystery.
However, Lu Haiyan's fear was true. Wang Jiayao died inexplicably. It might be difficult to get involved with Wang Xinyu.
Judging from what Gu Chen discovered on the reservoir mountain, Wang Jiayao did die by suicide, but Wang Jiayao's death is still a mystery.
What was it that made him willing to die? This is what Gu Chen needs to investigate the most.
So Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, after repeatedly communicating with Lu Haiyan, let Lu Haiyan go back temporarily, and urged Lu Haiyan to turn on the phone 24 hours a day.
Once necessary, Lu Haiyan must cooperate with the investigation as soon as possible.
After completing all the procedures, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei watched Lu Haiyan leave.
Looking at Lu Haiyan's desolate back, the old lady who had been hiding at home and dared not come out opened the door, and looked at Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei who were at the opposite door, and sighed a little helplessly.
"Old lady." Gu Chen turned his head and glanced at her, the old lady also walked to Gu Chen's side, and asked him hesitantly:
"Comrade policeman, did you find out anything?"
"I can't reveal too much to you for the time being, but there may be variables regarding Wang Jiayao's improper relationship with other women." Gu Chen said.
"There are variables?" The old lady didn't seem to understand.
Lu Weiwei hurriedly explained: "That is to say, that matter may not be true."
"Is that so?" Hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the old lady suddenly became nervous.
But Gu Chen quickly asked again: "By the way, do you know who Wang Jiayao usually contacts with? Those people who often contact."
"This...not much." The old lady scratched her cheeks, and said in recollection:
"Anyway, Wang Jiayao has been quite withdrawn in recent years."
"After his divorce, the child followed his ex-wife, so he stayed at home alone and usually worked at the reservoir."
"That place, as you know, even if you are alone in the duty room, you rarely get in touch with people."
"So, when I go out to buy breakfast on weekdays, I will chat with the neighbors outside who sell breakfast."
"Then which one is it?" Hearing what the old lady said, Lu Weiwei felt that it was at least a breakthrough.
The old lady did not hide it, and immediately pointed to the left direction outside the community and said:
"Go out from here and turn left. There is a breakfast shop over there. The business is a middle-aged couple from southern Zhejiang. The sign on the shop is 'Ade's Breakfast'."
"Like Wang Jiayao, he has been a regular customer for many years, and Wang Jiayao has a good relationship with the two couples."
"I usually chat with them for a long time when I have breakfast or something. Anyway, I often meet them and chat with them. Maybe, these two couples are the people Wang Jiayao has the most contact with."…
"Thank you." It was also a reminder from the old lady, Gu Chen felt the need to hurry up, so he didn't hesitate.
After saying goodbye to the old lady, he took Lu Weiwei to the door of the shop where the old lady called "Ade's breakfast".
Since the peak period of breakfast sales has passed, there are not many customers at the door.
However, the steamers in the store are still placed high, and there are also some scattered soy milk and oil cakes for sale outside.
When he saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei standing at the door, a middle-aged man sitting in the store playing with his mobile phone quickly stood up and walked forward to ask:
"What would you like?"
"Boss, are you familiar with Wang Jiayao?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked.
"Wang Jiayao? Old customer, of course we are familiar." As soon as the words finished, the middle-aged man looked at the police uniforms on Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and suddenly became hesitant again, and asked quickly:
"No... no, you ask me this, is there any problem?"
Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and Lu Weiwei took the initiative to say, "Is it convenient for you to talk here?"
"Uh, why don't you come in and talk about it." Seeing that the police came this time, it didn't seem like they were here to take care of business, but rather to handle cases.
So curious, the middle-aged man quickly lifted the partition blocking the door and let Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in.
Then, he found two plastic stools, put them in front of them and said:
"You two sit down first, our small shop is a small business, the area is not too big, it's a bit crowded."
"It's okay." Gu Chen turned on the law enforcement recorder, took out the notebook he was carrying, and asked calmly:
"Wang Jiayao usually buys breakfast at your house, right?" Gu Chen asked.
"Yes." The middle-aged man didn't care about the lake either, so he said whatever he asked.
So Gu Chen asked again: "What about today? Did he come to your store to buy breakfast today?"
"Yes, as long as he works the day shift, he will come to my store to buy breakfast almost every day." The middle-aged man said.
"How many days?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It's all." The middle-aged man reaffirmed.
Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said again: "Then, has he told you anything strange recently?"
"Strange thing? You mean..."
"It's an abnormal thing." Lu Weiwei reminded.
This stunned the middle-aged man for a moment, and he couldn't help scratching the back of his head to think.
After a while, the middle-aged man also recalled: "Wang Jiayao usually talks to me, and he just chats about gossip and trivia."
"If you want to say that he talked to me about some strange things, that's really not the case. Just this morning, he also told me that he feels physically and mentally exhausted recently, and wants to go fishing or something, and asked me if I am free this afternoon?"
"Fishing?" Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly became alert, and continued to ask:
"Do you usually have the habit of fishing with Wang Jiayao?"
"Yes." The middle-aged man nodded fiercely, and quickly explained:
"Wang Jiayao and I often get together to fish, so we have a good relationship."
"Besides, besides making breakfast, I also like fishing as a hobby, and Wang Jiayao also likes it."
"The most important thing is that Wang Jiayao works at the other end of the reservoir, and the lower part of the reservoir is a good place for fishing."…
"Therefore, I often go fishing in the reservoir where Wang Jiayao is on duty, and every time I get a good harvest."
"Under the reservoir? Is it under the pier of the Rainbow Bridge?" After all, Lu Weiwei has been to the Rainbow Bridge, so she is familiar with Wang Jiayao's work place.
As soon as the middle-aged man said it, Lu Weiwei could immediately guess the location.
The middle-aged man also nodded silently, and took the initiative to admit: "Yes, it is the place you mentioned. We usually fish under the Rainbow Bridge, which is around the pier."
"Sometimes, I would bring barbecue tools and go to the other side of the reservoir where Wang Jiayao is on duty, and make grilled fish with him."
"Anyway, this morning Wang Jiayao still asked me to go fishing in the afternoon. After all, this has been arranged before. He just confirmed it with me this morning."
"Wait a minute." Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Gu Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong.
Although when Gu Chen found Wang Jiayao, Wang Jiayao had already hanged himself from a crooked neck tree on the mountain of the reservoir.
However, if Wang Jiayao had chosen to hang himself long ago, why did he confirm the fishing time again with the owner of the breakfast shop?
Didn't Wang Jiayao know that he was 100% going to break the appointment?
Thinking that both Wang Jiayao and the owner of the breakfast shop have the habit of fishing, Gu Chen feels that this seems to be a bit contradictory.
Gu Chen subconsciously glanced at Lu Weiwei, and at this moment, Lu Weiwei seemed to have the same feeling in her heart.
The two just made eye contact, and they quickly understood each other's inner os.
So Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man again: "In addition to making an appointment with you for fishing, what else did Wang Jiayao tell you?"
"Say what? This..." Trying to scratch his cheek, the middle-aged man continued to think.
Also after a brief pause, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and explained with his fingers:
"Oh, by the way, and he said that he might want to sell the house recently, and then use the money from the sale to support his future life."
"Sell the house? Wang Jiayao is in Jiangnan City, doesn't he only have one house? If he sells the house, where will he live in the future?"
Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei felt that Wang Jiayao's idea was too weird.
But the middle-aged man took it easy and said, "Ham, everyone has different ideas. Wang Jiayao often told me about this idea when he had breakfast with me."
"He said that the reason why he himself is living too hard is because he has too little cash in his hands."
"The only thing of value may be the suite left."
"However, the apartment is a fixed asset after all. He has to work every day. He seems to have the idea of resigning."
"After all, you also know that after working in the reservoir for many years, it is boring to stay there every day. If it were someone else, it would have driven me crazy."
"It's Wang Jiayao who can bear his temper and can stay forever, but recently he figured it out."
"He is going to sell the house, and then he will use the money from the sale of the house to live the life he wants."
"Then, will he go to other provinces?" Knowing that Wang Jiayao and Wang Xinyu seem to have some kind of elusive relationship, Gu Chen raised his own doubts. …
But the middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know about that."
"Then after his divorce, is there no other woman he is dating?" Lu Weiwei also asked curiously.
"This..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile:
"Comrade policeman, in fact, I also asked Wang Jiayao about this question, but it seems that he didn't."
"At that time, he proposed to me to sell the property and live the life he wanted, so I asked him if he should find a good friend?"
"The reaction Wang Jiayao gave me at the time seemed to be the case, but you said that he went to other provinces. Is there any basis for this...?"
It was also a middle-aged man who didn't seem to know the connection between Wang Jiayao and Wang Xinyu. Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were quite disappointed.
But it was impossible for Gu Chen to answer the questions asked by the middle-aged man.
Thinking of the middle-aged man who often went fishing under the reservoir, Gu Chen casually asked him:
"I can't tell you the basis, but please tell me, have you gone fishing under the Rainbow Bridge these days?"
"Yes, I basically go there these days, and usually at night, because I have to work during the day, so I will take a flashlight and go fishing by the river before 11 o'clock in the evening."
"Then...then you should have noticed, is there a temporary tent under the Rainbow Bridge?"
Lu Weiwei seemed to feel that the middle-aged man might have found the tent where Wang Xinyu was staying, so she hurriedly asked.
The middle-aged man was also taken aback, frowned slightly, and asked curiously:
"By the way... by the way, comrades in the police, how do you know? It's all happened in the past few days."
"That is to say, you have indeed seen it?" Hearing the tone of the middle-aged man, Gu Chen seemed to have guessed the truth.
But the middle-aged man didn't hide anything, and explained the situation straightforwardly: "I have indeed seen that tent."
"It didn't exist before, but in the last few days, it suddenly appeared."
"At first, I thought it was built by a fishing friend. I thought about fishing at night, and when I was tired, I could go to the tent to rest."
"So, last night, I walked over curiously to have a look, thinking about chatting with this fishing friend."
"But when I approached the tent, I found that the person living in the tent seemed to be a strange woman, and I was stunned at that time."
Having said this, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became stiff, and he seemed a little embarrassed.
While recording, Gu Chen continued to raise his head and asked him: "You continue to talk, what happened next?"
"Uh, this, later on, I found out that it was a strange woman, so I was embarrassed to bother her."
"Moreover, I also noticed that as long as I got close to the temporary tent, that strange woman seemed to be looking at me very vigilantly."
"I feel like she's holding something in her hand, which is used to defend against accidents."
"At that time, I was very puzzled, feeling that if I disturbed rashly, would she attack me?"
"But when you think about it, why did she live here? You know, most of the fishing friends who come here to fish are men."
Sighing lightly, the middle-aged man tried his best to calm down, and then hurriedly said:
"Later, I am embarrassed, and she is also embarrassed. We are separated by five or six meters."
"I thought, it's embarrassing now, and I'm neither advancing nor retreating, so I said to myself, why is there a tent here?"
"Then, I pretended to withdraw my curiosity, and left in embarrassment."
"What time did you leave the scene last night?" Gu Chen asked him in record.
The middle-aged man thought for a few seconds, and quickly replied: "It seemed to be around 10:40 in the evening. I remember I checked my phone at that time."
"I felt that it was getting late, so I quickly packed up my fishing gear and headed home."
"Then you should have seen an old man fishing at night, right? That old man would take the fish he caught every night to the alley near the city bureau for sale early the next morning." Gu Chen Say.
It was also reminded by Gu Chen that the middle-aged man suddenly realized, he nodded in agreement and said:
"That's right, I once fished all night, and I did meet him once, but the old man usually comes to fish after the early hours of the morning, and he fishes all night, so it's basically difficult for me and him to get together to fish." said the young man.

"Like Wang Jiayao, he has been a regular customer for many years, and Wang Jiayao has a good relationship with the two couples." "I usually chat with them for a long time when I have breakfast or something. Anyway, I often meet them and chat with them. Maybe, these two couples are the people Wang Jiayao has the most contact with." "Thank you." It was also a reminder from the old lady, Gu Chen felt the need to hurry up, so he didn't hesitate. After saying goodbye to the old lady, he took Lu Weiwei to the door of the shop where the old lady called "Ade's breakfast". Since the peak period of breakfast sales has passed, there are not many customers at the door. However, the steamers in the store are still placed high, and there are also some scattered soy milk and oil cakes for sale outside. When he saw Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei standing at the door, a middle-aged man sitting in the store playing with his mobile phone quickly stood up and walked forward to ask: "What would you like?" "Boss, are you familiar with Wang Jiayao?" Lu Weiwei stepped forward and asked. "Wang Jiayao? Old customer, of course we are familiar." As soon as the words finished, the middle-aged man looked at the police uniforms on Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, and suddenly became hesitant again, and asked quickly: "No... no, you ask me this, is there any problem?" Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei looked at each other, and Lu Weiwei took the initiative to say, "Is it convenient for you to talk here?" "Uh, why don't you come in and talk about it." Seeing that the police came this time, it didn't seem like they were here to take care of business, but rather to handle cases. So curious, the middle-aged man quickly lifted the partition blocking the door and let Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei in. Then, he found two plastic stools, put them in front of them and said: "You two sit down first, our small shop is a small business, the area is not too big, it's a bit crowded." "It's okay." Gu Chen turned on the law enforcement recorder, took out the notebook he was carrying, and asked calmly: "Wang Jiayao usually buys breakfast at your house, right?" Gu Chen asked. "Yes." The middle-aged man didn't care about the lake either, so he said whatever he asked. So Gu Chen asked again: "What about today? Did he come to your store to buy breakfast today?" "Yes, as long as he works the day shift, he will come to my store to buy breakfast almost every day." The middle-aged man said. "How many days?" Lu Weiwei asked. "It's all." The middle-aged man reaffirmed. Gu Chen nodded slightly, and said again: "Then, has he told you anything strange recently?" "Strange thing? You mean..." "It's an abnormal thing." Lu Weiwei reminded. This stunned the middle-aged man for a moment, and he couldn't help scratching the back of his head to think. After a while, the middle-aged man also recalled: "Wang Jiayao usually talks to me, and he just chats about gossip and trivia." "If you want to say that he talked to me about some strange things, that's really not the case. Just this morning, he also told me that he feels physically and mentally exhausted recently, and wants to go fishing or something, and asked me if I am free this afternoon?" "Fishing?" Hearing this, Gu Chen suddenly became alert, and continued to ask: "Do you usually have the habit of fishing with Wang Jiayao?" "Yes." The middle-aged man nodded fiercely, and quickly explained: "Wang Jiayao and I often get together to fish, so we have a good relationship." "Besides, besides making breakfast, I also like fishing as a hobby, and Wang Jiayao also likes it." "The most important thing is that Wang Jiayao works at the other end of the reservoir, and the lower part of the reservoir is a good place for fishing." "Therefore, I often go fishing in the reservoir where Wang Jiayao is on duty, and every time I get a good harvest." "Under the reservoir? Is it under the pier of the Rainbow Bridge?" After all, Lu Weiwei has been to the Rainbow Bridge, so she is familiar with Wang Jiayao's work place. As soon as the middle-aged man said it, Lu Weiwei could immediately guess the location. The middle-aged man also nodded silently, and took the initiative to admit: "Yes, it is the place you mentioned. We usually fish under the Rainbow Bridge, which is around the pier." "Sometimes, I would bring barbecue tools and go to the other side of the reservoir where Wang Jiayao is on duty, and make grilled fish with him." "Anyway, this morning Wang Jiayao still asked me to go fishing in the afternoon. After all, this has been arranged before. He just confirmed it with me this morning." "Wait a minute." Hearing what the middle-aged man said, Gu Chen suddenly felt that something was wrong. Although when Gu Chen found Wang Jiayao, Wang Jiayao had already hanged himself from a crooked neck tree on the mountain of the reservoir. However, if Wang Jiayao had chosen to hang himself long ago, why did he confirm the fishing time again with the owner of the breakfast shop? Didn't Wang Jiayao know that he was 100% going to break the appointment? Thinking that both Wang Jiayao and the owner of the breakfast shop have the habit of fishing, Gu Chen feels that this seems to be a bit contradictory. Gu Chen subconsciously glanced at Lu Weiwei, and at this moment, Lu Weiwei seemed to have the same feeling in her heart. The two just made eye contact, and they quickly understood each other's inner os. So Gu Chen asked the middle-aged man again: "In addition to making an appointment with you for fishing, what else did Wang Jiayao tell you?" "Say what? This..." Trying to scratch his cheek, the middle-aged man continued to think. Also after a brief pause, the middle-aged man suddenly raised his head and explained with his fingers: "Oh, by the way, and he said that he might want to sell the house recently, and then use the money from the sale to support his future life." "Sell the house? Wang Jiayao is in Jiangnan City, doesn't he only have one house? If he sells the house, where will he live in the future?" Thinking of this, Lu Weiwei felt that Wang Jiayao's idea was too weird. But the middle-aged man took it easy and said, "Ham, everyone has different ideas. Wang Jiayao often told me about this idea when he had breakfast with me." "He said that the reason why he himself is living too hard is because he has too little cash in his hands." "The only thing of value may be the suite left." "However, the apartment is a fixed asset after all. He has to work every day. He seems to have the idea of resigning." "After all, you also know that after working in the reservoir for many years, it is boring to stay there every day. If it were someone else, it would have driven me crazy." "It's Wang Jiayao who can bear his temper and can stay forever, but recently he figured it out." "He is going to sell the house, and then he will use the money from the sale of the house to live the life he wants." "Then, will he go to other provinces?" Knowing that Wang Jiayao and Wang Xinyu seem to have some kind of elusive relationship, Gu Chen raised his own doubts. But the middle-aged man shook his head: "I don't know about that." "Then after his divorce, is there no other woman he is dating?" Lu Weiwei also asked curiously. "This..." The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Comrade policeman, in fact, I also asked Wang Jiayao about this question, but it seems that he didn't." "At that time, he proposed to me to sell the property and live the life he wanted, so I asked him if he should find a good friend?" "The reaction Wang Jiayao gave me at the time seemed to be the case, but you said that he went to other provinces. Is there any basis for this...?" It was also a middle-aged man who didn't seem to know the connection between Wang Jiayao and Wang Xinyu. Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei were quite disappointed. But it was impossible for Gu Chen to answer the questions asked by the middle-aged man. Thinking of the middle-aged man who often went fishing under the reservoir, Gu Chen casually asked him: "I can't tell you the basis, but please tell me, have you gone fishing under the Rainbow Bridge these days?" "Yes, I basically go there these days, and usually at night, because I have to work during the day, so I will take a flashlight and go fishing by the river before 11 o'clock in the evening." "Then...then you should have noticed, is there a temporary tent under the Rainbow Bridge?" Lu Weiwei seemed to feel that the middle-aged man might have found the tent where Wang Xinyu was staying, so she hurriedly asked. The middle-aged man was also taken aback, frowned slightly, and asked curiously: "By the way... by the way, comrades in the police, how do you know? It's all happened in the past few days." "That is to say, you have indeed seen it?" Hearing the tone of the middle-aged man, Gu Chen seemed to have guessed the truth. But the middle-aged man didn't hide anything, and explained the situation straightforwardly: "I have indeed seen that tent." "It didn't exist before, but in the last few days, it suddenly appeared." "At first, I thought it was built by a fishing friend. I thought about fishing at night, and when I was tired, I could go to the tent to rest." "So, last night, I walked over curiously to have a look, thinking about chatting with this fishing friend." "But when I approached the tent, I found that the person living in the tent seemed to be a strange woman, and I was stunned at that time." Having said this, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became stiff, and he seemed a little embarrassed. While recording, Gu Chen continued to raise his head and asked him: "You continue to talk, what happened next?" "Uh, this, later on, I found out that it was a strange woman, so I was embarrassed to bother her." "Moreover, I also noticed that as long as I got close to the temporary tent, that strange woman seemed to be looking at me very vigilantly." "I feel like she's holding something in her hand, which is used to defend against accidents." "At that time, I was very puzzled, feeling that if I disturbed rashly, would she attack me?" "But when you think about it, why did she live here? You know, most of the fishing friends who come here to fish are men." Sighing lightly, the middle-aged man tried his best to calm down, and then hurriedly said: "Later, I am embarrassed, and she is also embarrassed. We are separated by five or six meters." "I thought, it's embarrassing now, and I'm neither advancing nor retreating, so I said to myself, why is there a tent here?" "Then, I pretended to withdraw my curiosity, and left in embarrassment." "What time did you leave the scene last night?" Gu Chen asked him in record. The middle-aged man thought for a few seconds, and quickly replied: "It seemed to be around 10:40 in the evening. I remember I checked my phone at that time." "I felt that it was getting late, so I quickly packed up my fishing gear and headed home." "Then you should have seen an old man fishing at night, right? That old man would take the fish he caught every night to the alley near the city bureau for sale early the next morning." Gu Chen Say. It was also reminded by Gu Chen that the middle-aged man suddenly realized, he nodded in agreement and said: "That's right, I once fished all night, and I did meet him once, but the old man usually comes to fish after the early hours of the morning, and he fishes all night, so it's basically difficult for me and him to get together to fish." said the young man. ...
