Chapter 35 Who is Lihua
Xu Tuohai: "This has nothing to do with her ability or character. It's just that she broke the law and was arrested."
"What? How is this possible?"
"I'm not wrongly accusing her. It's because of Liu Xi's case that the police re-examined the information of hundreds of people in our hotel. It wouldn't have mattered if they hadn't checked, but when they did, they found out that the real Fang Lihua had been dead for several months. The Fang Lihua we knew was using someone else's identity."
"Then is she related to Liu Xi's case?"
"Who should I ask if you ask me? You should ask the police."
"Thank you, Manager Xu. I'll be leaving now."
Jun Lan left the HR office and went to the small garden to get some fresh air. Her head immediately became much clearer. She happened to meet Li Yu who also came here to get some fresh air.
Jun Lan thought to herself, "You usually treat us subordinates quite well, but why didn't you stand up for Lihua and help her when she got into such a big trouble?"
Seeing that Jun Lan didn't say hello to her, Li Yu automatically spoke: "I'm a little uncomfortable with you being so quiet. What's the matter? You got promoted and became the boss's favorite, so you don't recognize people anymore, right?"
"No, foreman. I just don't understand why you don't help Lihua?"
"I knew you would do this, so I didn't tell you about this. Sister, I'm a foreman, not a leader. Lihua is in the police station now. How could I have the ability to get her out?"
"Lihua can't possibly be connected to Liu Qian's case. As for the identity theft, there must be some misunderstanding. No, I have to go to the police station and get to the bottom of this."
Li Yu: "What case? Identity theft? What are you talking about? Is there anyone in the police station?"
"I'll tell you when I've sorted things out."
As Jun Lan spoke, she hurried to the police station, leaving Li Yu, who was full of suspicion, behind.
In front of the police station, she was thinking about who to ask for help. After thinking about it, only one name came to her mind - Xu Lin.
She went to Xu Lin's office again and told her everything about Lihua.
After Xu Lin patiently listened to Jun Lan's statement, she thought for a moment and said, "This case is no longer under my jurisdiction, but I will try to help your friend through other channels."
"Well, thank you."
"Please sit here for a while. I'll go and find out about the case."
After Xu Lin left, Jun Lan was playing with her phone boredly. The news in the WeChat housekeeping department work group had already exploded. It seemed that two more handsome young men had arrived. The group was full of training photos of the two young men, all of which were taken by Li Yu.
She must be coveting the man's beauty, but it's no wonder that Li Yu is like that. In the housekeeping department where there are more women than men, good-looking young men are really in high demand.
"This is blatant sexual harassment." Jun Lan couldn't help but scold Li Yu, but her eyes could not leave the screen of her mobile phone.
"What sexual harassment? Who harassed you?" Xu Lin came back at some point.
"No, no, I was just licking my idol's screen! Sorry, I'm being rude."
"Oh, is that so? It's okay. I'm a fan too. Sometimes I get even crazier than you guys when I'm crazy."
Jun Lan couldn't help but laugh at the always serious policewoman Xu Lin's cute side of being a fan. But Jun Lan knew that now was not the time to talk about celebrities; she had come here for something more important.
"How's the investigation into Lihua going? Can you tell me?"
"The situation is not optimistic."
"How to say"
"She has no connection to Liu Xi's case, but it's a sure thing she's impersonating Fang Lihua. The biggest problem now is that she won't say anything, and we don't even know who she is. As a result, we police officers have no way of helping her."
"Well, please tell her that I want to meet her and let me try to talk to her. Maybe she will open up to me."
Xu Lin nodded and left the office again, but this time she came back quickly.
"Come with me! She wants to see you."
Jun Lan followed Xu Lin to the criminal investigation room with a nervous mood.
Lihua's hands and feet were locked, and she had lost a lot of weight, but she still looked in good spirits.
Xu Lin: "You two can talk first! I'm in the interrogation room next door. Just shout if you have anything to say."
After Xu Lin left, Junlan and Lihua were both silent, and finally Junlan couldn't help it.
"Lihua, what's wrong with you?"
"Don't ask. You can't help me. I deserve it."
"If you don't tell me, how do you know I can't help you? Do you think I'm your friend?"
Lihua lowered her head deeply, her eyes red as she said, "If you really consider me a friend, then go to my dormitory drawer and find my passbook. There's 100,000 yuan in it, the hard-earned money I've earned through years of hard work. The password is six sixes. Please take out 1,000 yuan from it every month for my son's living expenses. You can also take more money from it when he needs it, until I get out, okay? I beg you."
"It's already come to this point, so please stop saying such things. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't help you."
Lihua: "Actually, my real name is Meizhu. I'm not Chinese at all. I'm from the Wa State in Myanmar. I couldn't make it there, so I fled to China. After working illegally in Yunnan for a few years, my boss gave me this fake ID. Then I practiced Mandarin and Chinese characters for years before I was able to work here."
"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"
"I'm afraid they'll send me back to Wa State. I'm so tired of life there. I'd rather stay in jail here than go back."
"What about your husband? Where is he now? Why doesn't he show up until now?"
As soon as she heard the word "husband", Lihua turned her head away and stopped talking.
Junlan wanted to ask more questions, but she was afraid that if she pressed too hard, Lihua would be disgusted and unwilling to talk anymore, so she could only give up for the time being.
"Then you take a rest first. If you need anything, ask the officer to call me."
Jun Lan left the criminal investigation room and told Xu Lin what she knew.
Xu Lin: "If it's really as you just said, out of humanitarian considerations, we can consider allowing your friend to remain in China without repatriation. After all, she's married, has children, and has lived and worked here for so many years."
"Really? Thank you so much. I'll thank you on behalf of Lihua first."
"Don't thank me so quickly. We still have a long way to go before we can investigate and collect evidence!"
"A sliver of hope is better than despair, but when you talk about investigating and collecting evidence, I always feel..."
"What do you think?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I'm just overthinking it. I've been reading too many detective novels lately and have turned myself into a conspiracy theorist."
In fact, Junlan thought that although she had never seen Lihua’s husband, she was so wary of her husband, and such abnormal behavior really made people feel suspicious.
"It's better not to meddle in other people's family affairs. Who doesn't have a lot of mess at home?" When she thought of this, she felt a little relieved. She didn't want to think about anything now, she just hoped that Lihua could come out soon.
