Chapter 116 Tumi 07
The investigation at the detention center did not yield any results for the time being, so Luo Siwei and Huo Cunsheng returned to the Municipal Bureau first.
Director Chen and several other officials convened a meeting regarding the incident and issued a warrant for Zhang Angu's arrest. Half the city's police departments were mobilized to investigate the emergency, using their Sky Eye to track the transport vehicle's route.
Later, they discovered that the transport vehicle had deviated from the designated route and that their communication was cut off.
Luo Siwei briefly reported the information she had found, including her suspicion that Lin Shuangting had used peach hair to cause Zhang An's bone allergy. She asked, "Director Chen, does our task force need to participate in the operation?"
Director Chen said, "For now, your team will continue to follow up on the leads we have. Let the other teams handle the search first."
Director Chen then looked at Luo Siwei and said solemnly, "From now on, when your task force encounters situations like this, don't follow the formalities. Special matters should be handled specially. Come directly to me. Also, have Captain Chi recuperate and return to the team as soon as possible. Your task force is the only hope of uncovering those behind the scenes."
After returning from the meeting, Ni Xiang had already sorted out the information about the Potential Workshop, and Luo Siwei began to ask them to look up information about Lin Shuangting.
Luo Siwei had been preoccupied with the sudden incident of Zhang Angu's kidnapping, and hadn't bothered to carefully sort out the connections. That afternoon, after receiving Lin Shuangting's documents, she sat at her workstation and began to review the information.
Although Lin Shuangting was a staff member at the Third Hospital, being assigned to a detention center still required review. Aside from the fact that he had changed his name once due to adoption, the rest of his resume appeared to be flawless.
Lin Shuangting did not have many related assets. He had no real estate under his name and only a bank card for paying his salary. The money in the card had never been withdrawn. From the time he joined the company to the time he left, not a penny was lost.
In addition, the mobile phone number he often uses is not registered under his name. Now the phone is turned off and no one knows where he lives.
It seems that he had been prepared to disappear since he resigned, or even earlier than when he started working.
Luo Siwei remembered that Lin Shuangting had once used the name Yu Qingchen. She did some searching and found that he had attended No. 3 Middle School, but not in the art class.
Luo Siwei pressed her temples, and she recalled the chuckle in her memory...
Could he be the one who drew the picture? Or was she mistaken and it was actually Hua Wenyi?
Different scenes were changing in her mind, the past was intertwined, and scenes were replayed in her mind one by one.
Luo Siwei remembered that when she was lying in bed, someone injected an anesthetic injection into her veins.
She saw a white figure.
So...was Lin Shuangting there when she was kidnapped? Was he the one who injected her?
Luo Siwei thought of this possibility and suddenly felt a chill running from her feet straight into her brain, a feeling that made her whole body numb. Her head also began to ache. She held her forehead with her hand and forced herself to continue reasoning.
Therefore, the worst-case scenario was that Lin Shuangting had probably already recognized her. He knew she was Teacher Tao's daughter, that she was the wax figure artist's former victim, and that she was the head of the city bureau's criminal investigation team. He was deliberately keeping an eye on her...
Every conversation, every approach has a purpose.
She once talked to such a dangerous person and added him on WeChat.
So, why did he approach her and talk to her?
Luo Siwei carefully recalled all the interactions between herself and Lin Shuangting and reviewed everything.
She and Lin Shuangting had always handled their affairs in a businesslike manner.
The first time they got closer was after Yu Wanying's case, when Lin Shuangting took the initiative to bandage her wounds. She remembered that he said at the time that he hoped she would owe him a favor.
During the conversation, he seemed to have a deep hatred for the prisoners and believed that there was no possibility of them reforming.
Luo Siwei remembered Lin Shuangting's views, which were somewhat paranoid and full of resentment.
He thought Cha Junxi deserved to die and Luo Siwei shouldn't have stopped him from jumping off the building. He felt that prison could not reform those people and they would continue to commit crimes after they were released.
At that time, Luo Siwei just felt that she and Lin Shuangting had different values. In that person's heart, his judgment of good and evil and his understanding of the law were different from hers.
Thinking about it now, maybe Lin Shuangting hoped that Cha Junxi would jump off the building himself, which would save a lot of subsequent trouble.
Then Luo Siwei thought of Cha Junxi being injured in prison.
It's likely that Lin Shuangting was behind the incident. He knew the inmates' experiences, including that one's daughter had been murdered, and he couldn't bear to see the inmate who had bullied and murdered a girl. He deliberately told the inmate what Cha Junxi had done, thus provoking the conflict.
Even as the prison doctor who was the first to treat Cha Junxi, Lin Shuangting may have done other things, causing Cha Junxi to become a vegetable.
His head hurt more and more, as if there was an electric drill drilling in his brain. Luo Siwei bit his lip and forced himself to continue recalling.
The second time they met, she found Officer Zheng through Lin Shuangting.
If Lin Shuangting was the Whisperer, then it is very likely that he knew at that time that He Jin was not the real murderer.
At that time, Lin Shuangting was obviously paying attention to the case. He seemed to hope to make He Jin a scapegoat by inducing her.
In the end, she asked some questions and Lin Shuangting finally compromised. He said, "Maybe you are right."
This sentence has a hidden meaning. At that time, when he saw her working hard, he must have thought that the justice she was defending was ridiculous, right?
So after catching Li Muyao, he would tell her: "There are always bad guys to catch."
Another time, Luo Siwei was not sure if the person he saw was Lin Shuangting.
That was when she took the subway back from the police station where Meng Zhi worked. She was sitting on a bench in the rain. Although she had cried until she was exhausted, she saw in a daze that there was a person who looked like him at the bus stop opposite.
If Chi Li hadn't found her at that time, would Lin Shuangting have taken advantage of her when she was at her most vulnerable?
Luo Siwei pressed the scar on her chest with trembling fingers. Now, she finally understood the source of her lingering nightmares and the constant feeling that a hunter was lurking in the shadows.
Luo Siwei felt a lot of emotions brewing in her body, anger, sadness, and fear. She felt like her chest was holding her breath, and even her heartbeat slowed down.
Just then, Chi Li called.
The moment she saw the name, Luo Siwei broke free from her memories. She picked up her cell phone and walked out of the office.
After today's treatment, Chi Li's breathing became more stable. He asked her about the conditions of Zhang Angu and Lin Shuangting.
Luo Siwei was always clear and logical, but today, she felt like she was describing something so confusingly for the first time. She was afraid Chi Li wouldn't understand.
Chi Li did not blame her or urge her, but listened to her quietly.
Then he said, "Be careful, don't be alone, and don't go to dangerous places."
Luo Siwei responded.
Chi Li said: "Do you remember the time we played Werewolf together?"
Luo Siwei didn't know what he wanted to say, so she just said obediently, "Remember."
Chi Li's voice came from the phone. He spoke slowly and softly, but she could hear it clearly.
"Lin Shuangting is like a wolf. The most dangerous time for Werewolf is when the wolf hasn't been caught. In the past, they were in the dark, and we were in the light. He would do something when you weren't paying attention. But now, he can no longer contact you as a prison doctor. We are gradually digging those people out of the darkness, and the situation will slowly become clear."
As expected of Captain Chi, who is known for his composure, even at such a critical moment in the battle, he was still able to remain calm and make an objective analysis.
Luo Siwei was comforted by Chi Li's words.
Yes, dwelling on the past would not help, she should move on.
Catching all these people is what she needs to work hard on now.
Chi Li continued, "I briefly reviewed Lin Shuangting's personal experience. His mother died, and the police didn't find the truth. He chose to associate with those evil people and later ended up in prison. There are many contradictions in his behavior. I think Lin Shuangting's concept of good and evil may have changed a long time ago. This person may have an antisocial personality."
"Also, if Lin Shuangting's real name is Yu Qingchen, we have to consider the possibility that he is Y."
Luo Siwei also calmed down. "Yes, I have considered this. Zhang Angu could be Z, Yu Qingchen could be Y, and Xie Chenyu could be X. We still need to confirm the identity of M." She paused and said, "I suspect this M is my high school classmate and best friend, Mu Yuexin..."
Luo Siwei calmed down, her thoughts remarkably clear as she recalled many details: "When I woke up in the hospital, Mu Yuexin came to see me. She said she saw the news report and knew about my injury. But at that time, only my university classmates knew about my accident. We hadn't been in touch for a while, and the report didn't mention my real name. How did she find the hospital?"
"Also, Mu Yuexin is particularly concerned about what I remember and has tried to get information from me. I think she might have been sent to monitor me, to make sure I don't say anything that would be detrimental to them. She's also keeping an eye on the actions of the Municipal Bureau."
Mu Yuexin, Lin Shuangting, these people had already surrounded her.
Luo Siwei didn't know whether she was lucky or unlucky. By some strange coincidence, she lost her short-term memory of that time. Otherwise, those people might have attacked her long ago.
She has always kept her life and work separate. She is very vigilant and strictly abides by discipline. She never discusses the case with her friends or reveals things that should not be disclosed.
After listening to her story, Chi Li said, "Lin Shuangting and Mu Yuexin approached you with ulterior motives. You did nothing wrong in these relationships, so don't blame yourself."
Luo Siwei said: "I am fine with discovering Lin Shuangting's identity, but I feel a little uncomfortable when I think that Mu Yuexin might have a problem."
Chi Li said: "Maybe you understand her in the past, not her now."
Luo Siwei shook her head and said softly, "Although we are best friends, perhaps... I have never understood the real her."
Having said that, Luo Siwei felt much better. She regained her sanity and asked, "Captain Chi, how do you think we should deal with this situation?"
Chi Li said: "I think we shouldn't get bogged down in investigating the details."
He then explained, "The fact that they hijacked the inmates at the detention center shows they're desperate. At this point, if we find any leads, they'll try their best to cut them off. If they find someone, they might go on to silence them. Furthermore, this case is incredibly complex, and if we investigate each one individually, it would take a lot of time. While those people might know something, they're mostly being exploited."
Luo Siwei reflected. While the students had provided some clues, progress was limited. Meng Lanshan and Qi Moxue were also caught in the act. They had finally found Zhang Angu, only to be kidnapped again. Now she suspected Mu Yuexin, but without solid evidence, she couldn't rashly question her. That would alert the enemy, making them even more vigilant. They might even deliberately conceal information, complicating the investigation.
So it seems that the police investigation has reached a dead end.
She felt that Chi Li should have a direction, and asked him: "What should we do now?"
"On the one hand, we need to continue to pursue the clues we have and monitor key targets." Chi Li said, "On the other hand, we can cut off the source of the fire."
Luo Siwei suddenly understood: "You mean to jump out of the routine investigation of the case and start with the existing information and their superiors?"
Chi Li said: "Yes, these institutions are involved in many cases, and there must be capital behind them. In the past, the police had insufficient clues and only understood the one-way flow of money. The money flowed to foreign accounts through the other party's operations, making it difficult to track a single transaction. But now, the situation is different. We know some of the methods they use to make profits, and we have also deduced that some of their subordinate institutions and companies need to flow in after the money flows out. As long as we find economic evidence, we can investigate further."
Luo Siwei understood that the expenses of maintaining the Potential Workshop, the sale of haunted houses, and hiring those people to do evil, all this money was flowing in and out, and it was a large amount of money.
Perhaps one or two transactions can be hidden, but in today's electronic information age, it is impossible to make the flow of large amounts of money completely traceless.
The police can find patterns and clues from this.
And it is much easier to start with the accounts than with detailed evidence.
For example, in the case of Potential Workshop, if we want to prove that the people in it are involved in the current case, we need human and physical evidence, which are difficult to find.
However, to find out who is investing behind the scenes, the institution's annual revenue, how much assets it has, and its annual taxes, you can check the public accounts they submit.
Once there is a problem, we can openly investigate the legal person, directors, shareholders behind the company...
You can collect more information and get their electronic devices.
The police can then reach out to the institutions behind the scenes.
As for those students, they could just use them and then discard them, and as for Zhang Angu, they could just kill him to silence him, but those behind the scenes were too powerful to escape for a while.
This is the opponent's weakness and pain point.
Luo Siwei felt that Chi Li's method was unique, but it was foreseeable that it would be effective.
She regained her fighting spirit and stood up, saying, "Okay, I'll have a meeting with everyone in the team as soon as possible, then report the plan to Director Chen and prepare to begin the investigation."
