Guan Feng asked, "When we were taking your statement, you said that similar things had happened before?"
Li Gan nodded and said, "Well, Liu Juan has a rather stubborn temper. Sometimes when we argue, she gets angry and runs away. She's done this two or three times before, but she just goes out to clear her head and usually only stays for two or three days. This time, however, it's been longer than usual. I felt something was wrong, so I went to the police station to report her missing, and that's when I found out she was missing."
Guan Feng asked, "It's been a month, haven't you had any doubts? Or even tried to find out?"
Li Gan sighed, "What's the use of bringing this woman back when her heart is gone? Just let her go. But I never imagined Liu Juan would already..."
Guan Feng observed the other person's expression, which seemed genuine, and asked, "Where did Liu Juan go when she ran away from home several times before?"
Li Gan said, "She said she went to visit her best friend. I wasn't home, so I didn't ask any further questions."
Guan Feng glanced at Li Gan's head.
The husband must have a really big heart to do this.
He asked, "Is there anything else unusual?"
Li Gan sighed and said, "I really didn't know! It's all my fault. I'm usually too busy and have neglected to care for her."
Guan Feng looked at Li Gan and said, "Alright, you don't know either, so let's leave it at that for now. When you get back, collect her frequently used electronic devices such as her cell phone and computer. We need to gather some information to see if we can find anything."
Li Gan said, "Okay."
Guan Feng watched the other person leave.
Huang Lili stepped forward and asked, "Captain Guan, why does it seem like Li Gan doesn't care about Liu Juan at all?"
Guan Feng said, "Marriages nowadays are not like they used to be. Two people have only known each other for a few days before they get together. There's not much affection between them yet. It's all just trivial matters. What kind of relationship can withstand that? Especially this kind of relationship where people are apart most of the time, it's perfectly normal."
Huang Lili said, "Captain Guan, after hearing you say that, I'm even afraid of marriage."
Guan Feng laughed and said, "It's not that bad! More than 90% of the pain in life comes from money worries. Take Li Gan for example. If he wasn't so busy, if he and his wife weren't separated so often, and if they didn't worry about making a living, they wouldn't be in this situation. Lili, you have a good income. Find someone decent, and you won't have to worry about money in the future."
Huang Lili laughed and said, "Captain Guan, you might as well just say it! No, for us criminal investigators, overtime is the norm, but with a higher income, we can hire a nanny. No wonder Captain Guan is so sought after. I have to talk to my sister and tell her to keep an eye on things."
Looking at Huang Lili's expression, Guan Feng said with a wry smile, "I just mentioned it casually, where did you take it?"
He glanced at his watch again and said, "Now that the deceased's identity has been confirmed, let's leave the case here for now. Everyone get some rest, and we'll investigate this case tomorrow morning."
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
......
It's almost time to leave work.
Guan Feng drove Huang Lili to the city center.
Today, Wang Yayue brought him a breakfast she made herself.
He insisted on showing some appreciation, so after contacting them, they arranged to meet at Qingxin Xiaozhu.
Guan Feng then drove Huang Lili there.
On the road.
Huang Lili kept asking Guan Feng, "Captain, I heard you helped Chen Qingxin look at a painting that's worth over 100 million?"
Guan Feng laughed and said, "It's after get off work now, you can call me Guan Feng or Brother Guan, it's fine."
Huang Lili asked, "Brother Guan, is it true?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "A masterpiece jointly created by a master of traditional Chinese painting and a great calligrapher can indeed fetch over 100 million yuan at auction."
Huang Lili exclaimed in surprise, "Really? No wonder my sister said that keeping you in the criminal investigation team is a waste of your precious talent. You could easily make hundreds of millions a year just by going out and doing whatever you want."
Guan Feng laughed and said, "You can't say that. A police officer's identity makes people feel trust immediately. Otherwise, if I said I knew about calligraphy and painting, Qingxin would think I was a fraud. That's the benefit of the platform (system). So if you really earn tens of millions, most of it comes from the platform."
Huang Lili said, "That's true! Once you become someone like Detective Li, won't you be able to transcend all of this?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "Detective Li? There's only one among so many people. Let's focus on the task at hand first."
As the two were talking.
The car arrived at the Confucius Temple Antique Market.
The two got out of the car and walked into the Qingxin Xiaozhu shop.
Just as a waiter was about to come up to greet her, Chen Qingxin greeted him with a smile, saying, "This is my friend, let me handle it." She then smiled at Guan Feng and said, "Brother Guan, you're here? Please have a seat. What would you like to drink? Longjing, Anji Bai? Or Fuding white tea, or perhaps Da Hong Pao Pu'er?"
Guan Feng asked, "Do you still sell drinks in the store?"
Chen Qingxin shook her head and said, "No way! They were all taken from my dad's place. You can't do business in antiques and calligraphy without trying to appear cultured. To be honest, I don't know anything about tea culture."
Guan Feng said, "Tea culture is all created by those idle people. In the ancients, drinking tea boiled down to one word: delicious and thirst-quenching! Let's have a pot of aged white tea. There will be a big meal tonight, so let's get rid of the grease first."
Chen Qingxin smiled and said, "Brother Guan is treating, then I'm in for a big meal."
Guan Feng asked, "Ya Yue hasn't arrived yet?"
Chen Qingxin shook her head and said, "No, they said they're busy with some kind of publicity material."
Guan Feng said, "That should be the Balihe Reservoir."
Chen Qingxin asked, "Is it the case of the three people who drowned? What exactly happened? I've seen all sorts of versions circulating online, and some people even say there were crocodiles involved."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "There were no crocodiles, but there were two electric eels. The three people went into the water and were first electrocuted by the electric eels, which led to their drowning. As for the reason..." He briefly mentioned the key points of the desensitized information, since this content had already begun to be disclosed.
Chen Qingxin exclaimed in surprise, "Isn't this a bit too much? To compete for a position, they're resorting to such unscrupulous means."
Guan Feng said, "That's why people can't be too idle. If you're too idle, this is what happens. There should be a special report in the next couple of days. You can follow the news to see the follow-up."
As they were talking.
Wang Yayue, wearing sunglasses and a smart policewoman uniform, walked in.
Guan Feng laughed and said, "Speak of the devil! Our policewoman Wang has arrived. This is firsthand information. If you want to know anything else, just ask her!"
Wang Yayue took off her sunglasses, pinched Guan Feng's arm, and asked with a smile, "Qingxin, what are you two talking about?"
Chen Qingxin said, "It's the case of the Balihe Reservoir."
Guan Feng said, "Qingxin is quite curious about the drowning case. What, have you finished writing the article?"
Wang Yayue nodded and said, "They've been working almost non-stop from morning till night, from filming to writing the script. They even made a special trip to the Balihe Reservoir. If you ask me, these reservoir managers should all be arrested. They're all just sitting around doing nothing, yet they've done such a thing. It's outrageous!"
Given her personality, she wouldn't easily say something like that.
But after arriving at the scene and reviewing the materials, she became increasingly surprised.
Chaotic management!
Everyone, from top to bottom, was in a daze!
Where is there even a hint of someone fulfilling their duties in their position?
When interviewing the victims' families, seeing them crying their hearts out, knowing that three lives had been lost, especially since one father's child had just turned one month old, one can only imagine the anger in Wang Yayue's heart.
