Chapter 26 Chapter 26
As soon as He Qifeng came out of the interrogation room, he saw Lu Jianing, who had been leaning against the wall in front of the door waiting for him for a long time.
"Captain He is worthy of his name. The interrogation was so neat and efficient. I learned a lot from him." Lu Jianing flattered him. "In the future, I will definitely learn investigation techniques from Captain He."
Her expression contained a smirk, as if she was addicted to playing a prank and made a random joke; or as if she was deliberately trying to embarrass others and made a sarcastic compliment.
In short, no matter how He Qifeng felt, he felt that every word Lu Jianing said was filled with malicious intent.
But she didn't hide her evil intentions, and always used cold words to offend people directly.
It seemed that as long as she could make someone so angry that they jumped up and down on the spot, her goal would be achieved.
He Qifeng ignored her trash talk, collected his thoughts, and said, "Since you have learned it, give me a 10,000-word paper tomorrow."
A 10,000-word paper?
Lu Jianing smiled disdainfully, his expression was both flamboyant and unruly: "I'm sorry, Captain He, you may not know that I have rarely written self-reviews since I graduated from college."
The implication is - I am no longer at the age where I can be restricted by others, so don't threaten me with self-review.
He Qifeng's expression did not change. He lowered his head and looked at the interrogation record in his hand. He said indifferently, "It's okay. You don't have to listen to me, but I don't mind taking the time to have a friendly exchange with my college roommate."
He is going to complain again! This book is exclusively compiled for you by the LK team
Lu Jianing immediately straightened up, and his confident expression gradually turned into resentful.
Is there nothing else this person can do except file a complaint?
Lu Jianing said helplessly: "Captain He, you told me yesterday that you are not that free and will go to complain every day." Why are you lying?
He Qifeng ignored her prank and turned the topic to the case: "How much do you believe Liu Ru's words?"
Lu Jianing said nonchalantly: "I don't believe it completely, but I also don't believe it at all."
He Qifeng raised his eyes: "What did you believe in?"
Lu Jianing answered directly: "I believe that, as Liu Ru said, Xi Mingxue's body is indeed in the green belt in front of the bar."
He Qifeng frowned: "How do you know?"
"During your interrogation, I have sent Jiang Yubai to the scene," Lu Jianing continued, "Now, he is probably on his way back to the police station with the body and Jiang Xingye."
He Qifeng casually praised: "You're pretty quick."
"I have to," Lu Jianing said with pride, "Of course, don't worry about my identity being discovered. The reason I gave you a team is that I lost a necklace worth a million dollars, and when I sent Jiang Yubai to find the necklace for me, he accidentally found the body."
He Qifeng: “…”
He didn't ask that.
In order to please her, He Qifeng asked back: "Did they believe it?"
"Yes," Lu Jianing nodded, "I believe it without a doubt."
He Qifeng asked again: "You just said that you didn't believe it completely, but you also didn't not believe it. What do you not believe?"
"I don't believe Liu Ru will take the initiative to save people." Lu Jianing said with a confident smile.
"Just now, I sent Jiang Yubai to investigate the car accident that Liu Ru mentioned," Lu Jianing said, "but what I found was slightly different from Liu Ru's confession."
He Qifeng: "For example."
Lu Jianing's eyes were deep. "For example, the one who sent the little girl to the hospital was not Liu Ru, but Wang Peishen. And the one who hit the girl was none other than Meng Yuan."
"Besides, the little girl had been to the Drunken Dream Bar the night before."
The three pieces of information go straight to the heart of the case.
"So, you suspect what she saw in the Zuimeng Bar? Meng Yuan and the others want to kill her to silence her." He Qifeng asked.
"Yes," Lu Jianing said what he had guessed, "Also, I suspect that the sudden change in Meng Yuan's attitude towards Wang Peishen half a year ago and her agreement to date him should also be related to this incident."
He Qifeng stared at her and said, "I will send someone to check it out right away."
"Captain He, wait a moment."
After telling all his inferences without reservation, Lu Jianing no longer had any chips of confidence.
Her expression gradually showed some doubts. She said, "We just figured out why Meng Yuan suddenly got together with Wang Peishen. But this matter is obviously unrelated to the case. Why did Liu Ru lie? I think we need to investigate."
He Qifeng said in a cold voice: "Liu Ru has mentioned Zhang Zongqiao twice."
Lu Jianing: “Is there any problem with this?”
He Qifeng said: "Logically speaking, when someone asks about something without warning, a normal person's thinking would be to express it according to the logic of the matter without any emotion."
Lu Jianing recalled the conversation between He Qifeng and Liu Ru just now.
It seemed that there were two times when He Qifeng reminded her to get to the point.
Another time, He Qifeng said he didn't want to hear about her mental journey.
Lu Jianing added: "But Liu Ru's statement just now was too mixed with personal feelings, right?"
"Yeah, that's right," He Qifeng nodded, "So the feeling she gave me was that she wasn't narrating facts, but telling a story."
Lu Jianing pinched his chin and thought: "Since it is a story, it must be hoped that the listeners can hear the key points of the story. So in order to deepen the impression, half of the storytellers will repeat the impressive points."
However, one point she repeated over and over was Zhang Zongqiao.
Lu Jianing raised his head suddenly: "She wants to put the blame on Zhang Zongqiao."
He Qifeng nodded calmly.
Lu Jianing didn’t understand: “But didn’t you just say in there that all of Liu Ru’s actions were to atone for her sins, and she didn’t want the police to judge her based on her surrender?”
He Qifeng: "Yes, just because she wants to be punished doesn't mean she wants 'Zhang Zongqiao' to be punished as well."
He Qifeng emphasized: "The Zhang Zongqiao I mentioned is in quotation marks."
Lu Jianing understood what he meant immediately: "You mean, there is a 'Zhang Zongqiao' who is driving the whole incident, but this 'Zhang Zongqiao' is definitely not the Zhang Zongqiao we have seen before."
He Qifeng agreed with Lu Jianing's words: "Yes."
Before Lu Jianing could figure out the answer, a message suddenly came to his cell phone from the forensic department.
——Boss, after comparison, the strips of cloth that you and Captain He found in the toilet tank earlier are made of the same fabric as the clothes worn by the deceased Xi Mingxue.
Suddenly, He Qifeng asked, "From Jiang Xingye?"
Lu Jianing responded casually: "Yeah."
After a while, Lu Jianing seemed to remember something. She quickly put away her phone and said, "Captain He, I'll leave the rest of the case to you. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
He Qifeng didn't try to keep her. He put away the file in his hand and left silently in the opposite direction.
-
The weather in Linjiang is strange. The sun is shining brightly during the day, but for some reason it starts to rain at night.
The drizzle was dancing, and the whole Linjiang seemed to be shrouded in an untouchable mist.
The whole city was gloomy; even the bright neon lights on the streets could not conceal its loneliness.
In the office of the First Brigade of the Linjiang City Criminal Police Brigade, the criminal police who returned to the office after a day of running around were patting each other's bodies to wipe away the water stains.
"What a terrible weather! It suddenly started raining while I was asking questions." Bai Yunan complained.
"Who says it's not?" Tang Wan said with a click of the tongue, "This sudden bad weather is just like the moody man's heart."
"Sister Tang, what are you talking about?" Bai Yunan complained unconvinced.
"I'm not talking about you. I'm just warning you, don't take it personally." Tang Wan said.
At this time, He Qifeng was standing in front of a whiteboard, looking at the character relationship diagram on it, as if thinking about something.
"Captain Congratulations." Tang Wan walked to the front and shouted.

Just now, He Qifeng gradually regained his composure. He turned around and asked, "Have you found the ex-boyfriend of the first victim, Meng Yuan?"
"No," Tang Wan said truthfully, "According to all the people involved in the case, Meng Yuan has always been single. Even her relationship with Wang Peishen, the bartender at the Zuimeng Bar, is unclear."
"Xiaobai, how long will it take to decipher the password of the deceased's phone?" He Qifeng asked.
"The technical department is working on it. I heard from Lao Zhang that it will be done soon." Bai Yunan answered truthfully.
Before He Qifeng could ask, Jiang Xingye raised his hand and said, "I'm in a hurry, let me talk about the newly discovered body first."
Jiang Xingye stepped forward and pasted the photos in his hand one by one on the whiteboard: "The deceased, Xi Mingxue, was 27 years old. There were obvious knife marks on her spine. The preliminary cause of death was determined to be a sharp weapon piercing her heart. Because of the long time since death, there were no internal organs in her body, but there was still tissue adhesion at the joints of the bones. And I compared the DN information and determined that the cloth strips that Captain He found in the toilet tank came from Xi Mingxue."
He Qifeng continued to ask: "Where is the murder weapon and fingerprints?"
"We found the murder weapon near the body, but did not extract any biological remains or fingerprints from it," Jiang Xingye continued.
Bai Yunan couldn't help but complain: "The case has reached a dead end."
As soon as he finished speaking, a phone rang.

Everyone was stunned, and they tried hard to find the source of the sound.
Until He Qifeng calmly took out his cell phone from his pocket...
It's an unfamiliar number.
He Qifeng frowned and put the phone to his ear: "Hello, who is this?"
Jiang Yubai on the other end of the phone said anxiously: "Captain He, it's me, Jiang Yubai."
He Qifeng glanced at Jiang Xingye inconspicuously and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Captain Lu, let me investigate the little girl who was almost killed by Meng Yuan," Jiang Yubai said anxiously, "She said that when she was in the restroom at Zuimeng Bar, she heard two girls arguing."
"From what I heard, it sounded like a mistress and cheating. The two even had a fight over this topic. The little girl said she didn't know who cheated with whom."
"But she said she heard a very familiar name, because that name was the same as the name of the boy she had a crush on in class, so she was particularly impressed."
He Qifeng frowned: "What's the name?"
Jiang Yubai: "Ji Yao."
