Chapter 164 Renting a House
Although the time and place to express his feelings were not appropriate, Tan Yiyi did not think too much about it.
He had been looking forward to it for so long, and suppressed it for so long. He finally had a chance to be alone, and he would not miss it no matter what.
As long as Xie Qing agreed, he would not have to worry about gains and losses and be nervous for the time being.
The case was not solved yet, and although there were still a lot of things in his mind, Tan Yi slept soundly that night.
It was half past
six when he woke up. He put down his watch and thought seriously - Xie Qing didn't wake up early when she was on vacation, so let her sleep, but... Li Ke was not here, she was really dirty.
What!
Tan Yi tapped his lips twice, "What's wrong with being dirty? You actually used this to threaten Qingqing, you are really a talent, punished by doing 60 push-ups with one hand!"
He got up and completed the required number of push-ups with great energy. After washing up, he trotted to the cafeteria.
When he was in college, the male students in the dormitory could bring hot water and meals to their girlfriends, but they, the police, could not do that. It was good enough to have one meal with them a day.
Tan Yi finished his breakfast while reflecting on himself. When he was about to get up to deliver the plate, his mobile phone rang.
This is an out-of-town number.
Tan Yi quickly picked it up.
"Captain Tan, this is Fu Da."
"Well, have you found anything?"
"We are at Gao Xuehua's home in Donghai City. The room is decorated normally, and there are several antiques on display. They are all porcelain vases from three hundred years ago. They look very valuable. However, we can't tell whether they are real or fake with our eyesight."
"Please wait a moment. I will find two knowledgeable people to appraise them."
"Okay, then I'll wait."
...
Tan Yi hung up the phone and called Tan Jingwei.
Tan Jingwei had connections in Donghai and agreed without hesitation.
Tan Yi passed the message to Fu Da again, and was about to get up when his mobile phone rang again. This time it was a call from the office - Wang Zheng informed him that Fan Jingyuan's second son had arrived.
Li Ji came over and took Tan Yi's plate. "Fortunately, Captain Tan has finished eating, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to have a good breakfast."
"Thank you." Tan Yi stood up. "Go put it down and follow me."
Three minutes later, Tan Yi and Li Ji entered the inquiry room.
A middle-aged man in his early thirties stood up nervously. "This... must be Captain Tan."
He looked very similar to Fan Jingyuan, both smiling and easy-going.
"It's me." Tan Yi said, "Please sit down."
Fan Shenghui sat down opposite him and said anxiously, "Captain Tan, what happened to my father and mother?"
The SQN case was sealed off from the public. Fan Shenghui didn't know the details. He only knew that his two factories were under financial investigation because of his parents' affairs.
Tan Yi did not answer his question, but asked, "Mr. Fan, how much do you know about your adoptive mother?"
Fan Shenghui shook his head uneasily, "To be honest, she is very good to my brother and me. She treats us as her own children."
Tan Yi asked, "Did she invest in your business?"
Fan Shenghui shook his head, "No. My father has savings. He sold the bungalow in his hometown, and with my brother's pension, it is enough."
Tan Yi nodded. The amount of money was huge, and Gao Xuehua could not explain where it came from, so she should not take the risk of investing in a factory.
"Gao Xuehua owns four properties. Have you contributed to them?"
"My father bought the house in Anhai with his savings. The one in Donghai belongs to my mother. I don't know about the others and I haven't paid for them."
"How much money do you give to your parents every year?"
"Usually during the Chinese New Year and other festivals. It's no more than 1,000 yuan in total. They have pensions and basically don't need my money."
"What do you think of your eldest brother's sacrifice?"
"He has always been a hero in my heart. I miss him very much."
"Do you know Lang Ziyan and Chu Liang?"
"No, I've never seen them. Are they related to my parents' case?"
...
Fan Shenghui behaved normally and there was nothing suspicious about him.
He accepted Tan Yi's suggestion and planned to stay in Anhai for a few more days until the case was settled.
After seeing Fan Shenghui off, Li Ji and Tan Yi got into the police car.
Li Ji asked, "Captain Tan, Gao Xuehua's income is obviously problematic. Can the court convict her based on this?"
Tan Yi said, "No."
Li Ji asked, "Why?"
Tan Yi said, "Because she said her father left her antiques."
"That's too cunning." Li Ji understood, "Then if Fan Junpei gets into trouble, these cases will be borne by Qi Da Gou San and others."
Tan Yi was about to answer when his cell phone rang again, this time from a local unfamiliar number.
"Hello."
"Captain Tan, the doctor said Fan Junpei is fine!"
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
He instructed Li Ji, "Drive faster."
Twenty-five minutes later, the two arrived at the city hospital and took the elevator to the fourth floor with other passengers.
When exiting the elevator, before everyone had gotten off, a short, frail man with a backpack squeezed in along the elevator door, pressed the button for the first floor, and then shrank into the corner of the door.
Tan Yi looked down at him and retracted his right foot.
Li Ji said, "Captain Tan, aren't you leaving?"
The short man's body trembled, he shrank inward, and lowered his head.
Tan Yi motioned Li Ji to stand at the door to prevent the elevator door from closing.
He took out his police ID from his pocket and said to the short man, "I'm a policeman, please come down and cooperate with the investigation."
The man stiffened his neck and said, "I haven't broken the law, why should I?"
Tan Yi shouted, "Get down!"
The man shouted, "I haven't broken the law, I won't come down, I won't come down!"
People outside the elevator stopped walking.
"What happened to that guy?"
"I don't know."
"This policeman is too crazy."
"He looks handsome, but he's not a good person."
...
Li Ji was a little embarrassed, "Captain Tan, what's going on?"
Tan Yi ignored him, stuffed his mobile phone into his bag, grabbed the short man's upper arm with his left hand, and dragged him out of the elevator.
"Fuck, what are you doing!"
"I'm going to sue you for abusing your power!"
"You're taking revenge!"
"Let me go, let me go!"
...
Tan Yi said, "Li Ji, pull his other arm, let's go to Fan Junpei's ward!"
The man's face changed drastically, "I won't go, you let me go, I'll fuck your whole family, you let me go!"
Li Ji was not stupid, he immediately felt the subtlety, and immediately used all his strength to drag the man forward with Tan Yi.
The people who watched the excitement followed him.
Tan Yi said, "Disperse, leave here immediately, it's dangerous here!"
However, no one listened to him. Everyone was talking and moving.
Soon, the two dragged the man to the outside of Fan Junpei's ward.
Tan Yi looked around and there was no obvious place to hide things in the corridor.
He opened the door and dragged the man in.
The man struggled violently, hooked his feet on the door frame, and was stuck in the door, unable to move forward.
Tan Yi signaled Li Ji to handcuff him and lock him to the handle behind the door.
The leader of Group 3 asked in surprise, "Captain Tan, what's going on?"
Tan Yi turned the man's head and said, "Look carefully, where has this man been just now?"
The leader of Group 3 looked carefully for a moment, "He just cleaned the bathroom, but his clothes seem to be different."
Tan Yi entered the bathroom.
The bathroom was very simple. In addition to the toilet and shower head, there was only a small cabinet more than one meter high.
Tan Yi squatted down, opened the cabinet door, and saw a time bomb stuffed inside at a glance.
The time showed that there were less than twenty seconds left.
"Fuck!" The police officers from Group 3 who followed in were so scared that their faces turned pale and they shouted, "Evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly!"
Tan Yi walked quickly to the short man and pushed the timer into his face.
The man started shaking like a sieve, "Let me go, I'll do it, I'll do it!"
Li Ji trembled as he opened the handcuffs.
The short man rushed to Tan Yi, took off the cover, and pulled off a yellow line.
The time was frozen at 00:03.
His legs softened, he sighed and sat on the ground, mumbling in a foreign dialect: "No need to interrogate, I said, the day before yesterday morning, someone sent me 300,000 yuan and asked me to buy the fastest ticket to Anhai and blow up this ward."
The crowd of onlookers outside who had not had time to run away broke out in cold sweats.
They dared not discuss anything anymore, and they dispersed in less than three seconds.
The leader of Group 3 said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Captain Tan, we were careless."
Tan Yi pointed to the corner of the man's clothes sticking out of his backpack, "I hope there won't be a next time."
A piece of clothes less than an inch long was sticking out of the man's backpack. Judging from the color and material, it was exactly the same as the hospital's cleaning.
The leader of Group 3 puffed out his chest, "Got it."
Tan Yi said, "Take him back, record his statement, and arrest the instigator." He turned and entered the ward.
Fan Junpei woke up as expected, and was staring blankly in the direction of the door.
Tan Yi pulled over a chair and sat down in front of the bed.
Fan Junpei frowned and closed his eyes, "Drunk Dragon Bay Building 4, Unit 1, 302. Safe code, 568794."
Tan Yi knew that Fan Junpei's life would not be long, and as long as he didn't want to say it, the police could not force him.
He got up without saying a word.
Sitting in the police car, Tan Yi pulled out the owner's information sheet of Zuilongwan from his bag, found the contact number of the owner of Room 302, and called...
Fifty minutes later, Tan Yi met the owner downstairs.
The lady in her forties asked in a panic, "Captain Tan, is there something wrong with my house?"
Tan Yi said, "Let's talk about it upstairs."
The lady took out the key from her bag, followed Tan Yi into the building, and said naggingly:
"I rented this house to a big sister named Fan who lives in the same courtyard. She said that her house is small and she has many children, so it is inconvenient for her to live at home during the summer vacation. I am still working now and cannot move in for the time being, so I rented it out to earn some rent money to supplement the family expenses. Captain Tan, is there anyone dead in my house?"
Tan Yi asked, "Sister Zhao, this house has been rented for half a year or a year, right? Have you never come to see it?"
Ms. Zhao said, "I did come twice at the beginning, but Sister Fan is a good person and the house is clean, so I didn't come later."
She went up to the third floor and opened the security door.
This is a large three-bedroom apartment with painted walls and paved floors. There is very little furniture, only two beds, a TV cabinet and a rocking chair.
But there are many electrical appliances, including a VCR, TV, refrigerator, and tape recorder.
Ms. Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, "Captain Tan, you scared me to death. There is clearly nothing."
Tan Yi walked to the TV cabinet, knelt on one knee, opened a drawer, and there were five or six videotapes inside. He opened the bottom drawer, and there were more than a dozen boxes of tapes.
He winked at Li Ji.
Li Ji put on gloves and took out the first roll on the right. It was written on it: April 25, Beijing.
He read it once and was surprised: "Oh my God, it can't be the Wu Jiang case, right?"
Tan Yi guessed what it was.
He said to Ms. Zhao: "This is also part of the crime scene. Whether anyone was killed needs to be investigated before a conclusion can be drawn. Now, please cooperate with our work and leave here immediately."
