Inside the car.
Wu An's phone rang.
It was my sister-in-law, Mei Yueqin, calling.
He wanted to accept.
The police officer standing nearby quickly stopped him: "You can't answer the phone!"
Wu An ignored him.
Connect directly.
His sister-in-law's worried voice came through: "Erzi, what happened? I heard that a police car took you away?"
Are you alright?
Where are you now?
The policeman's face darkened, and he snapped, "Hang up immediately."
"Sister-in-law, I'm fine, don't worry. The police just took me to get some information. It was just a small accident, I can handle it." Wu An reassured her for a moment, then hung up the phone, looking at the police officer with a displeased expression, and asked, "Was I arrested by you?"
The policeman was taken aback: "This...this is not it."
Wu An raised his voice slightly: "If that's not the case, then what's your attitude towards me?"
"My dad is a village committee official."
"His motto is 'Serve the people' every day."
"Excuse me, why can't I answer the phone?"
The policeman sneered, "Kid, don't try to mess with me."
"Whether you've committed a crime or not, you know it in your heart."
They say they've invited someone to investigate, but in reality, they've already set their sights on you. Otherwise, why would they invite someone else to investigate, and specifically you?
Wu An appeared quite fearless and said, "I advise you to be careful what you say."
The policeman was furious.
The police officer driving the car quickly tried to smooth things over, saying that Yu Kailang had spoken with them before they arrived and there were no clues, only Guang Liangjun's one-sided account.
It would be unpleasant if things got too tense. This kid also said that his dad is a village official, so even if you don't care about the monk, you should at least consider the Buddha's feelings.
Wu An sat in the back row and almost fell asleep when they arrived in town.
A policeman next to him gave him a push.
Wu An rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Cars are so comfortable."
The police were so angry they laughed.
This was the first time he had ever seen someone so bold, or was this kid just naturally upright and unafraid of being wronged?
Wu An followed them inside, secretly relieved.
Since neither of the two police officers reacted to his behavior in the car, it's highly likely he won't face any violent enforcement actions.
Don't be fooled by his seemingly nonchalant and indifferent demeanor.
Actually, I was still a little panicked.
This is 2012.
Those who know, know.
They entered a room, not an interrogation room, and had barely sat down when someone came in. It was Yu Kailang, who was in charge of taking their statements.
"Drink water."
Yu Kailang poured him a glass of water, sat down opposite him, and said, "My colleague told me that you have a terrible attitude."
Wu An said calmly, "I'm here to cooperate with the investigation, not to be interrogated."
“His attitude was bad first, so naturally I couldn’t be any better.”
“Officer Yu, I went straight home after leaving the dock and didn’t encounter anyone on the way. As you said, my relatives cannot testify for me.”
"I can't find any witnesses."
"It also cannot prove itself."
"So, the pressure is on you."
Yu Kailang glared at him, thinking, "What a 'first come, first served' approach!" He coughed twice and said, "Alright, alright, let's finish taking the statement first."
"You had a conflict with Guang Liangjun?"
"yes."
"Guang Liangjun was attacked last night. What are your thoughts on this?"
"First of all, it definitely wasn't me. Secondly, Guang Liangjun is a gambling addict. He's divorced, has no children, and is in debt. There are probably more people who want to get him than you can count on one hand."
"Besides, do I look like the kind of person who would retaliate as soon as a conflict occurs?"
Yu Kailang pondered for a moment and said, "You might think that we would think that way, so by doing the opposite, you can clear yourself of suspicion."
“…” Wu An smiled: “I am a thoughtful person and I tend to think things through on a higher level. Therefore, considering that you might think I am going against the grain, I will not retaliate immediately.”
Yu Kailang frowned. This endless nested conversation was impossible to have. Wu An's performance was impeccable, and without evidence, he couldn't do anything to Wu An.
He decided to take the initiative: "So, you're planning to get revenge on Guang Liangjun?"
Wu An took a sip of water: "Officer Yu, you must know about my feud with him. If you were in his shoes, wouldn't you want revenge?"
"To be honest, if I hadn't been relatively restrained, Guang Liangjun would have been beaten half to death by my friends."
Yu Kailang fell silent.
As far as he knew, Wu An was right.
The statement was completed quickly.
Yu Kailang pressed further, "Can't you really find anyone to testify for you?"
Wu An shook his head.
Yu Kailang said, "Think carefully about whether you encountered any people or anything when you left the dock."
"You said you encountered someone from a neighboring village selling food at a stall. Can that person testify for you?"
Wu An shook his head again and said, "She has already left according to the timeframe you gave me."
He didn't really want to trouble Gu Anran.
Moreover, he didn't even dare to think about having Gu Anran testify and then commit perjury.
Yu Kailang assumed that Wu An was unfamiliar with the person he was talking about, so he gave up and stopped asking questions to avoid Wu An overthinking it and thinking that he was looking for evidence.
actually.
He was trying to find a way to clear Wu An of suspicion.
Guang Liangjun's shouts rang out from outside the door: "You've arrested him, haven't you?"
"That kid will definitely try to argue his way out of it!"
"Don't listen to him, he's the one who hit me, it must be him."
"I want to talk to him about compensation."
Wu An laughed: "Officer Yu, some people in the station are really arrogant. They have no evidence at all, but they want me to pay compensation. Are they going to try to extort money from me and make me support them in my old age?"
Yu Kailang's expression was not good, and he said, "I'll go out and take a look."
"You can have some tea here, don't go out."
"I'll come and take you away later."
Wu An smiled and nodded.
He's not in a hurry.
Having gone to such lengths without any evidence, it's even less likely that anything will come of it. What Guang Liangjun says is no different from farting.
He was actually somewhat glad that he had acted impulsively.
If the plan is too meticulous, it may leave behind clues that easily give it away.
Yu Kailang came out of the room and saw Guang Liangjun acting crazy. He immediately had a terrible headache. He had already stayed up all night and wondered when this would end.
The leader said to avoid any appearance of impropriety and simply handed the responsibility over to him and his mentor.
How can I take responsibility?
This is a "cold case"; the murderer simply cannot be found.
Wu An is right. It's perfectly normal for someone like Guang Liangjun to be beaten. Putting aside everything else, those who lend money at exorbitant interest rates are also highly suspicious.
...
Aqing ran all the way to the neighboring village, asked a few old men and women, and finally found Gu Anran's house. At first glance, she thought she had come to Wu An's old house.
Aqing hadn't expected Gu Anran to live in such a place, but without thinking too much, he quickly called out to her. Gu Anran soon came out of the house and was quite surprised to see him: "Aqing, what's going on?"
Aqing explained the situation, and Gu Anran's expression changed. She told him to wait a moment and then turned and went into the house.
