Chapter 99 Finale (V)
As experienced and steady as Ding Guoqiang was, he suddenly couldn't utter a word. He sat there in a daze and looked towards the next room to the interrogation room. Fang Kai suddenly jumped up from his chair, grabbed Zhao Quan by the collar and was about to hit him, but Ding Guoqiang reacted and forced him back.
All the detectives were silent.
Chen Pu supported himself on the glass with one hand, and suddenly lowered his head, leaning towards the corner. He never turned around, so no one could see his face.
Xia Yongze felt extremely upset and secretly turned his head to look at his partner. Li Qingyao was still staring straight at the interrogation room, but he saw that her whole body began to tremble slightly.
The night scene that night was actually no different from tonight.
The clouds are floating, the moonlight is clear, and the whole city is as quiet as if it is asleep.
During the process, Li Jincheng regained consciousness briefly, but it was very vague. He felt that he had no strength left in his body, and for a moment he could not remember where he was or what he was doing. Before closing his eyes, he looked at the moon in the sky. It was very white and bright.
He thought, I just need to sleep for a while, just a little while, my body hurts so much. When he woke up, there were still so many things to do, such as looking for support and saving some poor person who was still waiting for him...but he couldn't remember who that person was.
He also has to solve Luo Huaizheng's case so that his sister won't cry anymore. Wait until his sister is admitted to a key university with peace of mind, and then tell her the great news that he can overturn Luo Huaizheng's case.
And there is Chen Pu. This kid should be back from his business trip, so he will have help.
There are still many, many things waiting for him to do.
He closed his eyes peacefully.
——
The next morning, Xiangcheng.
Several police cars drove into Chaoyang Home at lightning speed.
Li Qingyao was sitting in one of the police cars, Chen Pu was driving, Xia Yongze and Zhou Yangxin were in the car, and no one spoke along the way.
It's not just about driving.
Li Qingyao hasn't spoken to anyone since the day before yesterday, when Zhao Quan explained everything.
So is Chen Pu.
Li Qingyao hardly slept in the past two days. He would wake up immediately after falling asleep for an hour. He looked up at the dark blue and peaceful sky outside and realized that the night had become very long again.
Chen Pu became untidy, had dark circles under his eyes, and looked listless. No one dared to talk to him these days. Even Ding Guoqiang was silent.
It's almost here.
Li Qingyao looked at the scenery outside the window and was suddenly stunned.
She's been here.
When Zhao Quan mentioned the small factory on the corner of Chaoyang Home the day before yesterday, she was still not able to react. Seeing that there were residential buildings on the east and south and a primary school on the north, she realized that this was the place where the convenience store employee and kind-hearted man Tang Botao found Liu Tingmei that day.
Afterwards, he sent Liu Tingmei to her aunt in the neighborhood committee, and her aunt sent Liu Tingmei to Dahai Welfare Home.
Li Qingyao stared at this place in a daze.
But how come Liu Tingmei has already caught up here?
The police car stopped at the gate of the chemical plant. Countless colleagues ran around and set up a cordon. Forensic doctors and forensic scientists entered one after another. This attracted many residents to watch, and all the police officers looked stern and silent.
Li Qingyao got out of the car, still feeling dazed.
Xia Yongze was the first to notice something was wrong with his partner and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" He looked at Chen Pu worriedly.
Chen Pu had been staring at the chemical plant. Upon hearing this, he turned to look at Li Qingyao. He wanted to ask, but found his throat was dry. He cleared his throat and called out, "Li Qingyao."
Li Qingyao was a little confused, he looked up and replied: "It's okay, I just... just..."
Chen Pu took a few steps behind her, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and asked, "What's wrong? Is there anything else about this case that I don't know?" His words were calm, but with an indescribable sense of depression.
She lowered her head and said, "Maybe I figured out something."
"What's up?"
"I couldn't understand why Liu Tingmei didn't call the police immediately after she escaped from the orphanage. The chances of finding my brother would have been much greater at that time. Later she said that she was afraid because of the murder case, and she also said that she was afraid that she couldn't convict the three people. I always felt that it was far-fetched and that she didn't mean it.
I just found out today that she had chased him outside the chemical plant that night, going further than Luo Long. Then how could she not see who took my brother away? But she looked like she really didn't remember these things, and didn't remember the existence of Zhao Quan and Luo Hongmin.
If you think about it carefully, Liu Tingmei's behavior is actually contradictory. Ever since she escaped seven years ago, she has had only one goal: revenge. She said this to her good friends in the nightclub and also to Xie Rongcheng. From the very beginning, she never thought about looking for my brother. Could it be that...she actually saw it that night? She already knew that my brother was gone.
That's why she's been so sad all the time. It makes sense that she didn't call the police. Because she knew that calling the police was meaningless, and she couldn't sentence everyone to death, and Luo Long and the other two did not deserve the death penalty. From then on, she made up her mind to kill them one by one by herself.
But in the years that followed, she killed more and more people. Was it true that... she gradually forgot that my brother was gone? Or maybe she knew it subconsciously, but was unwilling to face it again. Because she hoped he was alive and still wanted to see him. So she came back to him again. ”
Chen Pu looked into the distance and answered, "Maybe, it doesn't matter anymore."
——
Zhao Quan and his cousin who had no choice but to help cover up the incident were handcuffed and taken to the scene for identification. Seven years have passed, the crushers and mixers are very old, and it is almost impossible for the police to collect any valid evidence inside them.
Ding Guoqiang asked in a low voice: "Where did the rest go?"
The two criminals didn't dare to breathe. Zhao Quan raised his trembling finger and pointed at a wall not far in front of the crowd.
It was a grey, bare wall, standing alone in a corner of the factory. It had many scars and marks from wind and sun, but the wall was still as hard as when it was first cast, standing silently.
All the policemen formed a circle, stood in silence, and took off their police hats.
Many people cried out loudly.
Chen Pu and Li Qingyao stood at the front.
For seven years, Chen Pu had never cried for Li Jincheng in public, except crying secretly in her dreams. But at this moment, he raised his blurry eyes, touched the wall with trembling hands, slowly squatted down, buried his head in his arms, and let out a painful howl like a wild beast.
Li Qingyao stood there blankly, also staring at the wall, tears rolling down her cheeks. She lowered her head and whispered incoherently in a voice that only she could hear: "Brother... I found you, but how are you going home with me? How are you going home..."
I missed you so much, and felt deeply guilty for leading you into this criminal conspiracy.
You gave your life to the badge.
But who will return my relatives who are connected to me by blood to me?
