Chapter 450: Unique Angle, Careful Thinking
"Let's meet somewhere more private. Li Min's information is actually encrypted. Although I have the authority to open it, it will alert some people. To be on the safe side, I can't have you come to the police station. I don't know if there will be any spies, so it's better to be careful."
Tu Ran suddenly thought of a place, "Is the street behind Li Min's old house okay?"
"I'll give you the status."
"Okay." Bai Yi agreed readily.
So Tu Ran called Sun Bo and told him to come later, and went to see Bai Yi first.
Finally, in the small street behind Li Min’s old house.
Tu Ran met Bai Yi.
In order not to attract too much attention, they randomly walked into an inconspicuous beef brisket noodle shop.
"I can't believe you're Xie Nancheng's wife."
This was Bai Yi’s first words after he sat down.
Tu Ran was not surprised that he knew his identity.
"What does it matter?"
"Actually, you don't need to go through so much trouble to make a deal with me for the things you want to check. Your husband can help you. Xie Nancheng's strength is absolute in Xiangcheng." Bai Yi was not exaggerating, but that was Xie Nancheng.
“I like to solve problems my own way.”
"You may not understand, but this is my freedom." Tu Ran said slowly.
These words made Bai Yi feel that the woman in front of him was even more mysterious.
I have heard that Xie Nancheng's new wife is very low-key, so low-key that everyone ignores her presence.
I've also heard about some of her disputes with the Lin family, including some scandals between her and the heir of the Gu family.
In my impression, I thought she would be a peerless beauty.
In fact, at first glance, she doesn't look stunning like others, but the more you get to know her, the more mysterious and unfathomable she becomes.
"That's true. Let me get back to the point."
"Ms. Tu, I agree to your deal." Bai Yi was still used to calling her Miss Tu, because she was so young. If he remembered correctly, she should be a college student like Mu Wanjun, a college student who had not yet graduated.
Calling someone Mrs. Xie will make them sound older.
Tu Ran nodded slightly.
"Here is the information about Li Min you want."
"She did work as a prostitute. She was a prostitute."
"Her client list is supposed to be top secret, but since you want it, I'll give it to you."
"I know you want to find out what happened behind her back."
"But I have to remind you of two things."
"First, there have been over thirty patrons of Li Min in just the past six months. I'm afraid it's going to be hard to find them."
"Secondly, Li Min's case is very complicated. Although I'm not in charge, I've heard about it a while ago. It's said that the higher-ups are considering closing the case, just like her mother's, saying it was an accidental death. After their deaths, they had no immediate family left, and the remaining assets were inherited by a distant nephew of her mother. No one will pursue the case or appeal it, so why bother, a stranger like you?"
"Thank you, Officer Bai. I understand the reason, but I still want to investigate." Tu Ran said softly.
"Well, I wish you all the best then."
Tu Ran took the brown paper bag, but didn't rush to open it.
"The murderer of the Xihe Bridge dismemberment case is..." Bai Yi felt a little embarrassed. As a police officer on duty, he had been unable to solve the case and could not withstand the pressure from above. Now he had to let a woman help him, and he felt a little guilty.
So when he said these words, his voice became smaller and smaller.
"First, tell me about the evidence you have now, and I'll help you analyze it."
After hearing this, Bai Yi was stunned.
"You...don't tell me that you don't know who the murderer is. Are you going to help me analyze it now?"
"That's true." Tu Ran nodded.
Bai Yi suddenly smiled bitterly, "Mrs. Xie, are you deliberately teasing me?"
"I've already given you what you wanted."
"But you don't even know what I want, so why did you lie to me..." Bai Yi was a little angry at this time, feeling that he had been tricked. He took the risk to get Li Min's file, but the other party did not tell him the truth.
"I said, I'll help you find the murderer now."
"Stop it, Mrs. Xie, what are you looking for?"
"We professionals have been analyzing it for over a week and have checked so many clues but still have no clue. How are you, a non-professional, going to find it? Forget it, since we all have mutual friends, I'll consider myself unlucky. Just consider it a free gift for you." Bai Yi stood up and was about to leave.
Tu Ran stopped him, "Officer Bai, do you think Xie Nancheng is stupid?"
Bai Yi was slightly startled, "Why do you ask that?"
"Since you know that I am Xie Nancheng's wife, and I can easily get these with the help of my husband, why would I deceive you, a police officer who has no relationship with me?" Tu Ran asked back.
"This..." Bai Yi really felt that it was unacceptable.
There is no reason to lie to him. There is no grudge between them.
"If you believe that Xie Nancheng is not a fool and would not marry a fool, then sit down and tell me briefly about the current progress of the Xihe Bridge case. I will help you find the murderer, today."
Although Tu Ran said it with great confidence, Bai Yi still didn't believe it in his heart.
He has been a policeman for several years and knows too well that these things require professionalism, not nonsense and boasting.
But based on my curiosity and my understanding of the identity of Xie Nancheng's wife.
He decided to sit down and listen. It would just be a waste of time.
"Okay." He was finally convinced.
"I've watched the news about the Xihe Bridge dismemberment case, and it seems there are too few leaks in the news. Tell me the truth, how many people have died now?" Tu Ran asked directly.
The news only said two people died, but is that really the case?
"The number of deaths is more than you think." Bai Yi learned his lesson this time. He was afraid that Tu Ran would try to trick him, so he spoke vaguely.
Tu Ran took out his phone and said, "Okay, let me review this case now. I'll repeat the key points first. If I say anything wrong, you can correct me later."
Bai Yi nodded.
"At the beginning of this month, the first victim appeared at Xihe Bridge. The deceased was a woman, rumored to be a white-collar worker, 27 years old, with long hair and a relatively good-looking face. She had a boyfriend. She had been sexually assaulted before, but the fatal injury was not disclosed. When she was finally found, her body was already broken into pieces. It was first discovered by a sanitation worker in a trash can under the Xihe Bridge."
"That's basically it, you're right." Bai Yi said.
"What's the fatal wound?"
"It's... poisoning." Bai Yi said in a low voice.
"Is it snake venom?" Tu Ran asked.
Bai Yi was stunned again, "How did you know?"
No media outlet reported the fatal injury, and no one who was just watching the fun knew that the man died from poisoning, let alone snake venom.
"Mu Wanjun and I both study at the University of Traditional Chinese Medicine. At the beginning of the month, some of the snake venom serum stored at our school was taken away by your unit. I noticed this."
"You are very attentive. It is indeed snake venom." Bai Yi nodded.
