Chapter 168 This grandson went out in disguise in the middle of the night...
Liu Xiang's interrogation lasted for a very long time, so long that Guan Xia lost her sense of time. When the interrogation was over, she walked out of the room where she was watching the interrogation with her legs numb and painful. When she saw the sunlight shining through the glass in the corridor, she realized that it was already the next morning.
The interrogation lasted from dusk till dawn. Although we knew from Liu Xiang's attitude and confession that she was still hiding something, we also learned a lot of information, and of course a long list of accomplices.
Geng Jing was on the list, and even Fan Ya, Ge Qing, Gao Cuicui, and the unlucky couple who were deceived and exploited by Liu Xiang were on it.
Guan Xia didn't recognize the other names, and had no idea how many of them were real accomplices and how many were poor people like Fan Ya and the others.
Of course, it is not clear now, but it will be clarified later. The task force will take the lead, and the entire Shangshuang City police station will cooperate. They will identify all the people on the list one by one and investigate thoroughly.
However, Guan Xia and the others don’t need to do these things. Their next task is to find a way to investigate the relationship between Wu Xingxian and his son and Kangjian Physical Examination Center.
Even as she got back into the car, Guan Xia's mind was still resonating with the interrogating police officer and Liu Xiang's questions and answers. They also learned the general details of the disappearance case of Ning Xin and her daughter, which Ji An had been investigating for five years. The reason why they were general details was that Geng Jing had not yet been arrested, and Liu Xiang only knew the details up to an hour after the car accident.
The car accident happened because Ning Xin resisted and tried to grab the steering wheel to make the vehicle roll over, thereby delaying time and attracting the attention of traffic police and passing vehicles. However, Ning Xin was in poor health and had little strength, and in the end the vehicle only crashed into the trees on the side of the road.
However, even so, Geng Jing was furious and even wanted to strangle Ning Xin on the spot. Liu Xiang stopped him, and Geng Jing hit her a few times, causing only minor injuries, and did not kill her on the spot.
Afterwards, everything went according to plan. The vehicle drove off the small road and came to a remote and desolate location where there were no surveillance cameras. Geng Jing dropped Liu Xiang off. Liu Xiang got into another vehicle, met a friend, had dinner, and returned home normally, without arousing the police's suspicion at all.
Also, near the end of the interrogation, the interrogating police officer finally asked the question that Guan Xia really wanted to know, but unfortunately Liu Xiang did not answer. It was not known whether she was too tired and weak, or she did not want to answer the question. No matter whether the interrogating police officer's tone was sharp or calm, she remained silent.
Guan Xia tiptoed through the gap in the crowd and tried to peek, but she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly. She only saw that she seemed to have her head lowered, and some messy hair covered her cheeks. She didn't know whether she was resisting or reminiscing.
After much thought, Guan Xia couldn't help but sigh, "Although Liu Xiang's confession was obtained, there are still some mysteries that remain unsolved. I don't know if I will have the chance to personally question Liu Xiang in the future."
"She's confessed, and we have solid evidence." Zhong Xiaoyu glanced at Guan Xia and said indifferently, "Anyway, she's going to get a life sentence. Whether it's a mystery or not is actually not that important."
Guan Xia subconsciously turned around and glanced at Zhong Xiaoyu, feeling somewhat helpless. As expected of a member of the armed police force, he only thought about achieving his goals and didn't care about the process.
Ji An also said with a bit of amusement: "You really are unchanging. You have been running around with me and Lu Tingfeng for several years, but in the end you still haven't developed any curiosity or patience."
Zhong Xiaoyu said unconvincedly, "Who said I don't have it? I'm very curious and patient. You just haven't seen me. When I was on a mission before, I would lie in the mud for hours. If we really compare patience, you all combined can't beat me."
As soon as Zhong Xiaoyu said this, Ji An skillfully comforted her: "Yes, yes, you are the most patient. I said the wrong thing. You are better than me and your brother Lu."
Zhong Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose in dissatisfaction again, obviously dissatisfied with Ji An's tone of voice that was like coaxing a child, but in the end she didn't say anything, just snorted and turned her head to the window.
Guan Xia and Pang Le both found it a little funny. Zhong Xiaoyu's personality was really magical. Although she was strong, she was like a child at times. I don't know how she could keep her childlike innocence after going through so much.
After a few more forced jokes, everyone got back to the main topic. Ji An said, "It's okay to meet Liu Xiang at this stage, but from last night's interrogation, it can be seen that Liu Xiang's psychological defenses have not been completely broken. She is still hiding something. Wait a little longer, wait a few more days, until Geng Jing is also arrested. Only then can you meet Liu Xiang and it may be possible to resolve all the doubts."
Guan Xia wasn't in a hurry. Hearing this, she said, "Just like Zhong Xiaoyu said, the person has been arrested, and we have solid evidence. Her resistance is only temporary. Sooner or later, she will confess everything. But I'm wondering who the person above her mentioned in her confession last night is. I wonder if we can find any clues about the person behind the scenes through the phone they used to communicate. After thinking about it, I think it shouldn't be Wu Yingze or Wu Xingxian. They're such a large criminal organization, it doesn't make sense for them to do something like this personally."
Lu Tingfeng suddenly spoke up, "Remember what Liu Xiang said? The phone card is anonymous, and it's an old-fashioned, touch-tone phone that doesn't connect to the internet. It's clear that the person behind this is more cautious than Liu Xiang. I guess it wouldn't be easy to trace their identity through just one phone. If we really want to uncover that criminal organization, I think we have to start with Wu Xingxian and his son."
At this point, Guan Xia suddenly remembered something and asked Lu Tingfeng, "By the way, didn't you go to the Kangjian Physical Examination Center with Xu Nian these days to investigate? Did you find anything?"
Lu Tingfeng drove slowly, following the flow of traffic, and said casually, "It's only been a few days, and we've only done a rough investigation. We haven't found anything yet. However, based on the surface information, Xu Nian and I are somewhat suspicious. There must be something fishy about the director, the senior executive of the Kangjian Physical Examination Center. We found out that the director is a golf fan and also likes fishing. Coincidentally, Wu Yingze also has these two hobbies. We checked their call records, and although they seem unrelated, they often play golf at the same course, and there are also some overlaps in the places they often fish."
Guan Xia's spirits brightened when she heard this. "That is to say, these two people are actually secretly in contact."
Lu Tingfeng hummed, "Xu Nian and I both suspect this. After all, look at their hobbies, whether it's the golf course or fishing, they're both open and relatively deserted places, perfect for talking privately without worrying about being overheard."
Zhong Xiaoyu nodded. "That makes sense. Forget about the director of the Kangjian Physical Examination Center. He's obviously quite old, so it's normal for him to like fishing. But look at Wu Yingze. He's only in his early thirties this year. And judging by the way he dresses, his hair flickers red and green. He doesn't look like someone so patient at such a young age. His love of fishing is definitely a cover-up."
Lu Tingfeng glanced at Guan Xia in the rearview mirror and asked, "How about you guys? Did you get anything?"
Guan Xia leaned back in her chair, feeling somewhat discouraged. "Don't even mention it. I've been following him for three days, leaving early and returning late, and we haven't found anything. Wu Yingze truly lives up to his blond hair. He's never idle for a moment, spending every day either at a bar or at some entertainment venue. He often leaves at noon and returns late at night. But looking at it this way, his sudden visit to the health checkup center in the pouring rain that day, coupled with his love of fishing, is indeed somewhat unusual."
Pang Le suddenly had an idea and said, "Since he likes fishing but doesn't go fishing that often, doesn't that mean that every time he goes fishing, it's actually a connection process? In that case, we just need to follow the director of the Kangjian Physical Examination Center closely. However, fishing usually takes place in lakes and rivers, and they are so cautious, so it's not easy for us to get close to them..."
Pang Le seemed to have thought of something as he spoke. Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he stared at Guan Xia and said, "With you here, it doesn't seem to matter whether I get close to you or not..."
Guan Xia vaguely understood Pang Le's meaning after hearing this. He nodded thoughtfully and said, "As long as we can confirm that every time they go fishing, it's actually the two of them who are meeting, it will be easier to get some information."
Putting Liu Xiang aside for the time being, Guan Xia and the others focused all their attention on Wu Xingxian and his son for the next few days. Since there was another suspect, Xu Nian had to ask for support from the task force and assigned a group of people to work with them to track the few people in turn.
It has to be said that Wu Yingze was indeed much more cautious than Liu Xiang and Geng Jing, as he was able to conceal such a criminal act until now. It had been a week since they discovered that there was something wrong with him and started tracking him. Except for the night when it rained heavily and they accidentally discovered that Wu Yingze went to the Kangjian Physical Examination Center, his behavior at other times was normal and flawless.
If Guan Xia and the others didn't know that they didn't alert the enemy, just looking at Wu Yingze's behavior, they would really think that he had noticed something. After all, in all these days, Wu Yingze had never been to the golf course or fished. Apart from his home and some entertainment venues, he had never been anywhere else.
Before they knew it, it was late at night on August 24th. Guan Xiazheng, Qi Bai and Zhong Xiaoyu followed Wu Yingze and watched him return home. They waited for more than an hour and were about to call it a day to go back to the hotel when they received another call from Captain Zhou. This time, Captain Zhou and his team had a big harvest. They had caught Geng Jing and the buyer in the act, red-handed.
Upon hearing the news, the three people in the car were extremely excited. They didn't bother to wonder why it was Captain Zhou who called instead of Xu Nian. After hanging up the phone, they were about to start the car and drive back to Nanping Branch, but Guan Xia accidentally glanced outside the car and was attracted by a figure wearing a delivery uniform and riding an electric scooter.
Guan Xia frowned in confusion, not knowing if it was her illusion. She always felt that the figure was particularly familiar, but because it was late at night and quite a distance away, she couldn't see it clearly.
However, out of caution, Guan Xia stopped Qi Bai from starting the car and asked, "Am I remembering it wrong? Did any takeout come in during the time we were squatting?"
Qi Bai and Zhong Xiaoyu both frowned and thought carefully, then shook their heads after a few seconds, "I don't remember. A delivery driver did pass by, but I don't remember him driving into the community."
Guan Xia immediately realized something when he heard this. He subconsciously exchanged glances with Zhong Xiaoyu and said in unison, "Wu Yingze."
Qi Bai even said, "This guy went out in disguise in the middle of the night. He must be meeting someone. It's really worth it that we followed him for so long. Finally, we got something."
Qi Bai was about to start the car, but the next second he stopped and said nervously, "No, our car has been following Wu Yingze all night. Even though we're taking turns with Captain Xu and the others, there's no guarantee Wu Yingze will remember it. To be on the safe side, we need to find an unfamiliar car."
Guan Xia thought it made sense and subconsciously took out her cell phone to call Xu Nian. At the same time, she looked anxiously out the window in the direction where the figure had just left.
Before Guan Xia could dial the number, Zhong Xiaoyu's phone rang instead. She took it out, took a look and said, "It's from Sister Ji."
It was already past three in the morning. Ji An called at this time, obviously he had made a major discovery. Guan Xia instinctively hung up the phone, and Zhong Xiaoyu simply turned on the speakerphone.
As soon as the call was connected, before Guan Xia could even say hello, Ji An spoke in a serious and urgent tone, "Xiaoyu, please put the speakerphone on. We've discovered something new. The director of Kangjian Physical Examination Center, Peng Yuanwei, suddenly drove out alone five minutes ago. At this time, we suspect they're trying to make contact. Has Wu Yingze made any moves?"
Guan Xia also spoke quickly, "He also left three minutes ago, disguised as a delivery man. He didn't drive a car, but only rode an electric scooter."
Although the distance was a bit far and he couldn't see the face directly, the intuition given by the system was not wrong. The figure just now must be Wu Yingze.
Ji An said with a hint of laughter in his tone, "It's worth it that we've been following them for a week. We're finally going to catch the fox's tail. Guan Xia, listen to me. Compared to Peng Yuanwei, Wu Yingze is more dangerous. To be cautious, you'd better change cars and follow him. I just called Xu Nian. He and Lu Tingfeng are on their way here. Xu Nian told me that there are two groups of people from the special task force near you. Qi Bai has a phone number. Ask Qi Bai to contact him and you can follow him in their car."
Ji An's suggestion coincided with Guan Xia and the others' previous thoughts.
After Ji An finished speaking, Guan Xia and the other two responded. After hanging up the phone, Ji An immediately opened a location sharing function in the group.
Qi Bai then contacted his colleagues from the task force. The three of them waited on the roadside for a few minutes, and soon a taxi with a red light indicating it had passengers drove over.
The car window rolled down, and it turned out to be the detective from the task force whom I had met before.
The person sitting in the driver's seat was a very heroic-looking female police officer. She nodded to the three of them and said, "Get in the car."
The three people swiftly got into the car. The policewoman stepped on the accelerator and drove forward at full speed, saying, "I've already informed my colleagues about this situation. Did you see that car behind us? They're family, don't worry. We're experienced in dealing with people like this. They won't get away."
Guan Xia was not worried, but extremely excited. After working for so long, he was finally about to find some core clues.
