Chapter 197: No trace of her
Mai Shaozhen arrived late. She walked to the body and carefully examined every detail.
After a long while, she raised her head and said in a calm but serious tone, "The deceased had internal injuries and died from excessive bleeding."
Ye Che stood aside, looking at Mai Shaozhen's white coat, frowning. He endured the discomfort in his chest and asked tentatively, "Are you a doctor? My sternum hurts a little, can you help me take a look?"
Mai Shaozhen adjusted his glasses and answered seriously, "I can't see it. You should go to the hospital to make an appointment and take a CT scan."
Ye Che was stunned, looking confused: "Ah, aren't you a doctor?"
Ye Bai tugged at Ye Che's sleeve and gently corrected him, "Brother, Sister Shaozhen is a forensic doctor. She can only see the 'dead', not the 'alive'."
Ye Che's expression instantly became somewhat awkward, his eyes widened in disbelief:
(｀Д′) ? !
"I thought you were a doctor!"
Mai Shaozhen smiled slightly and said jokingly, "It's normal that you don't know. Anyway, live well and don't come to see me. I don't want to see you either."
Ye Che rubbed his aching chest and smiled helplessly: "Well, sorry to bother you, I'll go to the hospital."
Mai Shaozhen smiled and said to Ye Bai: "Xiaobai, your brother is really interesting."
"He is just like that, don't be surprised."
When Ye Bai saw that his brother was fine, he finally felt relieved.
They searched the mountain until very late, but just as Han Jianye had expected, Li Liya had already escaped.
On the way back, something happened that made them laugh and cry.
While waiting for the traffic light, an old man staggered over and crawled under the car.
Han Jianye:…(_)
Ye Bai:…( _ )! ?
Su Wan:…(′ω｀)! ?
Liao Wei…(⊙o⊙)! ?
Qi Xiaolei: ...(ω)! ?
Several people looked at each other and got out of the car to check.
Liao Wei leaned over and asked cautiously, "Uncle, do you know what kind of car this is?"
The old man lay under the car, refusing to come out, and said in a muffled voice: "I don't know him. If you want me to come out, you have to give me 20,000 yuan."
"Twenty thousand?" Su Wan couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and tried to persuade him again: "Uncle, you make more money from extorting others than we do. Come out quickly. You are old now, so you should accumulate some virtue for your descendants."
But the old man was still stubborn: "Twenty thousand. I won't come out without twenty thousand."
Su Wan thought for a moment and said, "I don't have 20,000 yuan, but do you want to stay there for two nights?"
The old man remained silent and still refused to come out.
"Uncle, this is a police car. Do you know who you are blackmailing?" Liao Wei continued to ask him.
"I don't know him. Anyway, you guys driving four-wheelers have money. Just give me the money and leave."
Ye Bai raised his eyes and looked at Han Jianye, "Captain Han, it seems that we have to use force."
Han Jianye nodded and looked at his watch. They had to rush back for a meeting and didn't have time to waste with him here.
So the men had no choice but to drag the old man out by force, then take him to the police station for criticism and education, and then ask his family to take him back.
When they arrived at the police station, Si Yue couldn't help but ask them, "Why are you so slow?"
"Well, when I was waiting for the traffic light, a scammer got under my car. It took me a long time to drag him out from under the car," Liao Wei explained.
Si Yue was extremely surprised, "Even a police car dares to commit fraud?"
"Yeah, I've never seen anything like this before."
Qi Xiaolei took over the conversation, "I guess the old man doesn't know cars, he only knows four-wheeled vehicles."
Han Jianye walked out of the office and said seriously, "We just wasted some time. Let's go to the meeting now."
Political Commissar Gao also heard about the incident on their way back. Although he was surprised, he didn't say anything.
Si Yue reported: "There is only one mountain road leading to Qingtan Mountain. Our personnel immediately followed it, but there has been no feedback so far."
After receiving the notice from Han Jianye, Political Commissar Gao immediately ordered the establishment of a checkpoint at the road intersection at the foot of Qingtan Mountain for strict inspection.
However, half a day had passed and there was still no news.
Han Jianye pondered for a moment and put forward his own speculation: "The reason why Li Liya killed them was probably because she suspected that Ye Che and Chen Jianyun had recognized her, so she took the initiative and fled in a hurry, without even having time to take the valuables hidden under the bed."
Political Commissar Gao held a cigarette between his legs, frowning, with a puzzled look in his mind: "If they had fled down the mountain, they would have been captured by surveillance cameras along the way. How come their whereabouts were not discovered?"
Su Wan speculated: "Could it be that they abandoned the car and took the mountain road instead?"
Political Commissar Gao put out his cigarette and said firmly, "Continue the search. I don't believe they can fly or escape."
As soon as the words fell, Ye Bai seemed to be awakened and murmured to himself: "Escape underground..."
Hearing this, Han Jianye turned to ask him: "Have you thought of any clues?"
Ye Bai's expression became extremely solemn. He said, "What Political Commissar Gao said just now was like a revelation to me. I suddenly realized something. I was wondering if there was a cellar or an underground cave hidden around the iron house where people could hide. Otherwise, why couldn't we find any trace of Li Liya going down the mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Han Jianye immediately followed his train of thought and continued, "So, you suspect that Li Liya never came down the mountain, but is still hiding in a secret cave deep in the mountains?"
Ye Bai nodded solemnly and said in a deep voice: "That's right."
Just at this moment, Han Jianye's cell phone suddenly rang, and the caller ID showed that it was from a plainclothes detective who stayed at the foot of Qingtan Mountain. After answering the call, he learned shocking news.
They successfully captured Huang Bu who had entered the mountains.
This sudden news undoubtedly shocked everyone present!
Huang Bu, he actually dared to turn back?
An hour later…
Huang Bu, who looked confused, was taken back to the police station by plainclothes detectives. "Why...why did you arrest me?"
Han Jianye asked him directly, "Where is Li Liya?"
Huang Bu asked in confusion: "Who is Li...Li Ya?"
Han Jianye thought about it and changed the way of asking, "What is the name of the woman you live with? Where did she go?"
Huang Bu suddenly realized, "Were you sent by Lili's husband to arrest her?"
Han Jianye raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had something to say, so he followed up his question and asked, "So, what did Lili tell you?"
Huang Bu sighed and said, "Lili has a miserable life. She has to deal with a man like her husband. I am a forest ranger. I am 50 years old and still unmarried. I never dared to think that there would be a woman willing to live with me. I met her halfway up the mountain last year. She begged me not to take her down the mountain, saying that her husband often abused her and that he would find her no matter where she ran to and beat her up. She also said that her husband had connections with the police. She said she was tired and had no choice but to hide in the forest. She also said that she was willing to live with me."
After hearing this, Han Jianye and Ye Bai looked at each other. They thought, if what Huang Bu said was true, then he was deceived by Li Liya.
