Chapter 1180 Investigation Direction
Liu Qingshan, the police officer in charge of the two murders of Bai Mushan and Luan Yuchuan, made a special trip to Dongzhou to investigate and collect evidence. Because they had met many times before, Lu Qi accepted the commission from the bureau to be responsible for receiving and accompanying him.
The day after Liu Qingshan came to Dongzhou, he contacted Xu Chunliang, hoping to meet him. The place where they met was where the Xu family had opened Huichuntang. Now the storefront is still under Xu Chunliang's name, but it is rented to others as a beauty agency.
Xu Chunliang has not been here for a long time. Usually, tenants do not need to meet him. Anyway, they will take the initiative to transfer money to his account when the time comes.
Because the appointment time was still early and the beauty salon was not open yet, the three of them sat outside. The outdoor tables and chairs were bought by Xu Chunliang in the past and placed here.
Liu Qingshan said: "Director Xu has achieved financial freedom at such a young age, which is really enviable."
Xu Chunliang smiled and said: "Dongzhou is a small place and the provincial capital cannot be compared. If this store is located in Nanjiang, I would have hope to achieve financial freedom."
Lu Qi said: "Captain Liu, you don't understand the situation. The real valuable thing is the Huichuntang sign."
Liu Qingshan said: "I have heard of it too. Why don't you do it?"
Xu Chunliang laughed: "I said, are you here to investigate the case or to investigate me?"
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "Don't get me wrong, I have already understood most of the situation. I just want to come here to see it, and I also want to meet you. You have helped me so many times in the past, and I didn't have time to thank you."
Xu Chunliang said: "It's hypocritical, isn't it? When you were in Nanjiang, you said that as long as you saw me, there would be no good things. Every time there was a major case, I happened to be there."
Liu Qingshan and Lu Qi laughed together. Xu Chunliang glanced at Lu Qi. This kid didn't tell him in advance what Liu Qingshan was doing here.
Liu Qingshan briefly introduced the progress in Nanjiang. Su Yunquan, who was seriously injured in the car accident, escaped by luck. Now he has passed the critical period and his life is saved, but he is too seriously injured and may have to use a wheelchair for the rest of his life. For a cardiologist, this means that his career is completely destroyed.
According to the information they have currently obtained, Xue Anliang's suspicion has been basically ruled out. Xue Anliang has been released, but he needs to stay in Nanjiang in the short term and cooperate with the police investigation at any time.
Xu Chunliang said: "Captain Liu, you don't need to tell me this. I am not in your system. Tell me these internal information and see if it is suspected of leaking secrets."
Liu Qingshan smiled and said: "I didn't expect you to join our investigation team, Director Xu. I found that this series of things actually happened around the dragon bone."
Xu Chunliang laughed in his heart. Did you find it now? Old Liu's understanding of handling cases doesn't seem to be very good.
"Didn't I provide you with the clues about the dragon bones a long time ago?"
Liu Qingshan nodded and said, "Yes, I came to you this time mainly to find out what is inside those dragon bones, why they have attracted so much attention, and why Bai Mushan and Luan Yuchuan have spent so much money to collect dragon bones?"
Xu Chunliang said, "I don't know."
"Can you introduce me to Mr. Xu?"
Xu Chunliang said, "I think it's better not to disturb my grandfather. He knows nothing about this matter. If he knew that dragon bones were so precious, he would not have donated them casually."
Liu Qingshan said, "Su Yunquan recently reported some situations. According to him, Luan Yuchuan's condition has experienced a very strange recurrence. He also said that you once saved Luan Yuchuan's life."
Xu Chunliang said, "It's not that exaggerated , I just happened to help him with CPR. "
Liu Qingshan said: "I learned about your rescue of Luan Yuchuan that day, it seems that it is not as simple as CPR. "
Xu Chunliang laughed: "Captain Liu, the focus of your investigation should be on who killed people, not who saved people. Am I guilty of saving people?"
Liu Qingshan said: "Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to investigate you, I just became curious about the contents of the dragon bones, I wonder if it was because of these dragon bones that caused their deaths."
Lu Qi said: "According to Su Yunquan's recollection, he saw a dead woman on the day Luan Yuchuan had the accident."
Lu Qi was talking about Pei Lin. In fact, Xu Chunliang told him about this as soon as he learned about it. Lu Qi cleverly concealed this section by saying this. Su Yunquan had confessed everything after waking up.
Liu Qingshan said, "Su Yunquan went to the Party School to find you before the car accident, and he told you about this."
Xu Chunliang laughed, "What happened? He saw Pei Lin? Ridiculous, Pei Lin has been dead for so long, how could she appear? I think Su Yunquan has a mental problem, why don't you find an expert to help him identify it first?"
Liu Qingshan said, "We have fully investigated the surveillance video of the Provincial People's Hospital on that day, and finally found something."
Lu Qi said, "Indeed, we found a woman who looks almost exactly like Pei Lin."
Xu Chunliang said, "Do you have any photos? Let me see."
Liu Qingshan smiled, took out an envelope from his briefcase, took out a few photos from it and handed them to Xu Chunliang.
Xu Chunliang took them and looked at them one by one. The woman in the photo was indeed Pei Lin. There was nothing strange about it. Su Yunquan could investigate the surveillance video, and the police could also do it, and they had more comprehensive resources.
Xu Chunliang was stunned when he was looking at the photo, because he saw himself, talking to a woman, and that woman was obviously Pei Lin.
It was really weird. Xu Chunliang took a closer look. It was indeed himself, but he had never met Pei Lin. This scene was somewhat familiar. He remembered that he was drinking tea with Su Qing that day, so why was it Pei Lin in the photo? Xu Chunliang could conclude that this photo was taken with technical means.
Xu Chunliang handed the photos back to Liu Qingshan: "Fake."
"I know!"
Xu Chunliang looked at Liu Qingshan in surprise: "You showed it to me even though you knew it?"
Liu Qingshan said: "After getting these photos, we first asked the technical department to identify them. Although the photos were processed very well, we still found many traces of artificial retouching. We are not interested in these photos, but why they want to involve you."
Xu Chunliang said: "I don't think I should answer this question."
Liu Qingshan said: "As far as I know, the sponsor of Longgu Museum is Luan Yuchuan. Luan Yuchuan has been supporting Bai Mushan in collecting and researching dragon bones for many years and has invested a lot of money for this. You have also helped them contact them."
Xu Chunliang was startled. Not many people knew about this. Could it be that Mo Han provided information to the police?
Liu Qingshan said: "We can basically conclude that the recent series of cases are related to the dragon bones, or more precisely, the text on the dragon bones. This time we came to Dongzhou to trace the source and hope to uncover the truth."
Xu Chunliang nodded and said: "I absolutely support it. In fact, the biggest victim is our Xu family."
Liu Qingshan did not get any answers he wanted from Xu Chunliang. Xu Chunliang was very polite to him and invited him to have lunch together at noon to welcome him. Liu Qingshan declined politely on the pretext of being busy with official duties. He had to go to the Dongzhou Museum next.
Lu Qi did not accompany Liu Qingshan. Although the Municipal Bureau asked him to accompany the investigation, the two parties belonged to different units after all, and Liu Qingshan did not want him to be present for some things.
After Liu Qingshan left, Lu Qi told Xu Chunliang that the Nanjiang police had found multiple videos of the woman who looked like Pei Lin. It was certain that the woman looked almost exactly like Pei Lin.
Because Luan Yuchuan also died of ricin, and the method used by Pei Lin to deal with Yang Mufeng was almost exactly the same, Lu Qi believed that this woman must have some unknown relationship with Pei Lin.
As the investigation deepened, the police also found some clues, among which Xue Anliang's background was also focused on. Although Xue Renzhong had long retired, the reputation of Nan Xue Bei Xie was still prominent, and Xue Anliang's motive for becoming Bai Mushan's student was naturally suspected.
Lu Qi did not eat with Xu Chunliang either, as he had to accompany his wife to do a prenatal check-up, and Lin Li's due date was next month.
Xu Chunliang teased him a few times and reminded him to try not to alarm his grandfather, as the old man was not clear about what happened to Longgu later.
At noon, Xu Chunliang received a call from Xue Anning. Xue Anning called mainly to express her gratitude for Xu Chunliang's help during this period, and also wanted to make an appointment with him for her father's condition.
Xu Chunliang said that he had been in Dongzhou recently and was waiting for them to arrive at any time.
When Xue Anning called, Xue Renzhong was sitting beside him, wrapped in a blanket, with the heater on, but he was still shivering. The toxicity of the Nether Cold Jade had recurred. If he didn't get timely treatment, he might not have much time left.
If his son hadn't been involved in the Bai Mushan murder case, he wouldn't have made a special trip to Nanjiang. Now the police investigation has finally made some progress, and everything is beginning to develop in a direction that is favorable to his son, preliminarily proving that Xue Anliang has nothing to do with the Bai Mushan murder case.
Xue Anning had just talked to Xu Chunliang on speakerphone, and Xue Renzhong heard it clearly. Seeing his father suffering from the cold, Xue Anning felt distressed. He squatted down beside his father, put his arm around his father's shoulders, and whispered, "Dad, let's go to Dongzhou tomorrow."
Xue Renzhong sighed and said, "I need help!"
Xue Anning said, "Have you really decided to tell him the secret?"
Xue Renzhong said, "Then we need to see what he wants to know?"
Xue Anning said, "Dad, I just want our family to be safe and sound now. Nothing else matters."
Xue Renzhong smiled bitterly and said, "Safety is easy to say, but it's not that easy to do."
