After Quitting the Circle and Getting Ashore, I Eat Melons on the Frontline

Wen Qianqian is talented in both civil and martial arts, versatile in ten fields. Unexpectedly, she encounters a sudden car accident. When she opens her eyes, she discovers she has transmigrated in...

Chapter 81

After saying that, she immediately returned to her computer and found the surveillance video of the road that the mixer truck used to take from the videos she had sorted by road section. She then fast-forwarded through the video and finally froze the picture at one point. She stared at the screen intently and pressed the pause button.

Zhao Shan was a little curious and moved closer behind her: "Qianqian, what is this?"

Wen Qianqian looked at the screen, thought for a moment, and said, "I'm simulating the route the mixer truck took at that time."

"Luckily, the N City Police Department collected more evidence at the time, so the surveillance footage from those roads within the previous one or two hours is still available."

After saying this, she looked at the screen showing several cars stuck together, then stepped back a few seconds and replayed the image. Then she took a deep breath and said, "I know why the mixer truck changed its route."

Zhao Shan was confused and didn't understand after listening for a while. He looked at Wen Qianqian, then at the screen: "...Can this explain the reason for the route change? There's nothing wrong with it?!"

Wen Qianqian shook her head and pointed to a corner of the screen. "Although this isn't a complete shot, you can still see quite a few cars piled up here. This suggests there was a traffic accident on the road, causing congestion. So the mixer truck saw it at the intersection and switched lanes."

She stared at the screen and pursed her lips. "The mixer truck's delivery time is limited, so the driver couldn't wait there. The other route was too far, so the driver chose the adjacent route, which is where the accident happened."

She touched her chin with her hand and thought seriously, "So on the surface, the driver has three routes to choose from, but if someone deliberately creates some trouble and prevents him from going to the other two routes, he will only have one route to choose."

"On the other hand, judging from the route, the Lu couple only have one way to return to the imperial capital from Lin'an County."

"So, the concrete mixer truck and the Lu couple's Mercedes-Benz may appear to have met by chance, but in reality, it was completely manipulable."

"No way! Holy shit!" Zhao Shan's jaw dropped after hearing this. "Are you saying it could be man-made? Murder?"

Wen Qianqian stared at the screen for a moment before saying, "It's hard to say. This is just my guess."

She paused, her lips pressed into a line: "But I always feel that it won't be such a coincidence."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Shan and changed the subject: "I just went to check the situation of the building next to the accident. Did you find anything?"

"Oh, oh," Zhao Shan had not yet recovered from his shock. He had watched the video of this case many times, and his conclusion was the same as that of the police officers who handled the case at that time, that it was all an accident. Now, when he suddenly heard Wen Qianqian's words, he was so shocked that his back felt cold.

If it was really premeditated, the murderer must have calculated very well to dare to commit the crime in front of so many cameras...

He was stunned for a moment before continuing, "The colleague who just looked up the information has replied to me and said he found it. Please wait for me, I'll go get the results."

"Okay," Wen Qianqian nodded.

After a while, Zhao Shan came back with a few pieces of paper in his hand, but his face was inexplicably pale. He held a few pieces of white paper tightly in his hand. After entering the room, he stared at Wen Qianqian, so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

She found his dazed look somewhat amusing: "What's wrong, Captain Zhao? Why are you suddenly so stupid?"

Zhao Shan shook his head vigorously. After a long moment, he looked at Wen Qianqian mysteriously and said, "I saw the results of the investigation."

"So what?" Wen Qianqian was puzzled as to why he looked so shocked after seeing the result.

The next second, Zhao Shan excitedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm: "Qianqian, I thought you were overthinking it before, but now I think I was wrong. This accident may really have some unspeakable secrets!"

After saying that, he looked at her and took a deep breath: "The owners of the properties on both sides of the road are all Xie Yunjin..."

When Wen Qianqian heard this, she was stunned for a moment. She just had a hunch that there was something fishy about this matter, but she didn't think about who did it. Now after hearing the results of the investigation, she was almost instantly certain that this was not an accident, but a carefully planned deliberate murder.

Zhao Shan looked at Wen Qianqian, still a little puzzled. "Qianqian, if it was really Xie Yunjin who did this, what was he trying to do? Was he worried that the Lu Group would take away their position as the richest man in the Xie family?"

Wen Qianqian frowned and thought seriously for a long time: "The property belongs to Xie Yunjin, but Xie Yunjin and the Lu couple don't have any major conflicts of interest, so they won't take this risk."

After hearing this, Zhao Shan suddenly realized: "So, the one who did it was..." As he thought about it, he couldn't help but shudder, and suddenly felt the sinister nature of human beings.

Wen Qianqian nodded: "You're right. The person who did it is most likely Xie Yunjin's good friend Lu Zhanxun."

Zhao Shan's eyes widened. "Oh my god! These wealthy families are so scary! They can even kill their own brothers!"

He curled his lips and said, "Qianqian, you know, the gossip among the wealthy families in the capital used to say that Lu Zhanxun was actually an illegitimate child, a dozen years younger than his brother Lu Pingchuan. According to the rules of wealthy families, illegitimate children have no inheritance rights, but Lu Pingchuan didn't care. He has always been very kind to him and even helped him get into the company."

After saying this, he couldn't help but sigh loudly: "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant. If it really was Lu Zhanxun who did it, isn't this just Mr. Dongguo and the wolf?"

"This bastard!" Zhao Shan became angrier and angrier as he spoke, cursing inwardly.

Wen Qianqian took a deep breath and said, "Unfortunately, this is just my personal speculation. I have no evidence. Otherwise, I really want to bring him to justice right now."

Zhao Shan rubbed his forehead. "What should we do now? This happened over a decade ago. Finding evidence isn't easy, but if we don't have any, it's infuriating to watch him get away with it!"

Wen Qianqian gritted her teeth and said, "I will never let him get away with it."

She took a deep breath and said, "Although there is no conclusive evidence now, there are already doubts in the case. I can apply to the bureau to reinvestigate the case."

"My own abilities are limited, but the power of the organization is limitless," she said, her lips curled. "I believe that as long as the organization agrees, this matter will be solved."

Just as he finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Zhao Shan stood up to open it, and then heard a police officer's voice at the door: "Captain Wen, there's someone at the door."

"Looking for me?" Wen Qianqian was a little curious. Seeing that things were almost done here, she simply left the archives room with Zhao Shan.

When she arrived at the door, she saw a familiar figure standing at the door with his head down, wondering what he was thinking. For some reason, he looked unhappy today and was obviously worried. He frowned from time to time, as if there were many things he couldn't figure out.

Wen Qianqian looked at Lu Xingyan from a distance and pursed her lips unconsciously. She knew that although Lu Xingyan didn't talk much, he was still a cheerful person. The reason for him to show such an expression must be related to his parents.

She always felt sad when she thought about how he had suffered such an unbearable accident at the age of sixteen.

Thinking of this, she quickly walked up to him and smiled at him gently: "Ayan, why are you here?"

When Lu Xingyan heard her voice, he looked up suddenly. She then noticed that his eyes were a little red, with a few bloodshot veins in the corners of his eyes, and there was an indescribable pain and fatigue.

However, knowing that she was coming, he still tried to curl the corners of his mouth, as if trying to force a smile, but failed.

Finally, he had to give up, then looked at her, his voice a little hoarse: "Qianqian, I have something to tell you."

"Okay, come with me," Wen Qianqian nodded, then took him to her office, poured him a cup of coffee, and closed the door.

Lu Xingyan followed her without saying a word. In fact, his mind was in a mess on the way here, and he almost ran a red light accidentally. But the amazing thing was that the moment he saw her, his heart miraculously calmed down.

He walked slowly behind her. From time to time, people in police uniforms passed by. He looked at her back silently, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart slowly disappeared.

After a short rest, he gripped the coffee cup tightly in his hand and said after a while, "Qianqian, I accidentally found a piece of paper in the pages of my father's old notebook today. Inside was a paternity test report issued by the hospital."

He was silent for a moment, then looked up at Wen Qianqian and said, "It was 10 days before my father passed away in Lin'an County, N City."

He looked at her seriously: "Qianqian, you know, all these years I have never understood why my parents went to Lin'an County. Now it seems that it might be to go to Lin'an County Hospital."

He opened his clear yet sorrowful eyes wide: "Qianqian, you know, even though my parents have been dead for more than ten years and this matter has long been settled, I still feel that this matter is not that simple!"

There was an indescribable sadness in his eyes. "More than a decade has passed, and everyone else seems to have forgotten about this, but I really can't. After all these years, every time I dream, I still dream that I'm sixteen again. Mom and Dad told me they were leaving. I asked them where they were going, and they told me not to worry, I'll be back soon, and then they turned and left."

"Every time I dream about this, I feel as if my parents have never left me, but when I wake up, I find that everything is gone. They have been gone for more than ten years."

After that, there was another silence. Then he looked at her seriously and said, "Qianqian, I know that the dead cannot be resurrected. My persistence over the years may seem funny to outsiders, but my greatest wish in life is to find out why my parents went to Lin'an. Now that I finally have a target, Lin'an Hospital, can you help me find out what happened back then?"

Wen Qianqian looked at his sad expression, and her heart softened. Then she thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll help you check."

After she finished speaking, she looked back at him seriously and said, "Ayan, don't think that your persistence is meaningless. I have carefully reviewed the case files and surveillance footage of the car accident that happened to my uncle and aunt over the past two days. I think this incident may not really be an accident."

"What did you say?!" Lu Xingyan suddenly looked up, his eyes full of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe what he heard.

Wen Qianqian reached out and touched the back of his hand: "I'm going to apply to the bureau to reopen the case from that year. I must get to the bottom of what happened back then."

Lu Xingyan was stunned for a long time, and finally his face showed an expression that was almost crying with joy. He grabbed Wen Qianqian's hand a little bewilderedly: "Qianqian, I, I, am so excited, I don't know what to say..."

Wen Qianqian smiled at him and stroked his hair, "No need to tell me, I understand."

Just as she finished speaking, there was a sudden knock on the door. Before she could open the door, she heard Zhao Shan shouting outside: "Qianqian, the video repair results are out!"

Wen Qianqian immediately stood up and opened the door. Zhao Shan rushed into the office and took out a CD, breathing heavily, as if he had run all the way here. "The video restoration results are in. You're right. Holy shit, it really is the trace of a bullet!"
