Chapter 1231: Skybridge Storm

The police explained to them that after receiving the report last night, they collected several surveillance cameras along the route overnight. Zheng Pei'an should have started following Xu Jiawen from the gate of Nanjiang University and followed him all the way to the overpass. During the struggle between the two, Xu Changshan appeared.

Xu Chunliang saw his grandfather's figure appear on the screen, and his nose was a little sour. He held back his tears and continued to watch.

Zheng Pei'an, who had lost his mind, wanted to jump over the overpass. His grandfather wanted to stop him. In the process, he lost his balance and the two rolled down the stairs of the overpass.

The picture paused when Zheng Pei'an fled the scene.

The police said: "Based on the various situations and the confessions of the parties involved, Mr. Xu's death was purely accidental. He tried to stop Zheng Pei'an from jumping off the bridge, but because of the rain that day, the bridge surface was slippery, and the two lost their balance and rolled down the stairs, which led to this tragedy."

Liu Qingshan asked for the remote control to play back the picture of the two people rolling down the stairs frame by frame.

Lu Qi said: "Whether it was an accident or not, Zheng Pei'an's choice to flee was extremely irresponsible. He is a doctor at Dongchang Changxing Hospital and knows first aid. If he had been rescued immediately, Mr. Xu might have had a chance to be saved."

The police officer in charge of the case said: "According to our understanding, Zheng Pei'an was mentally unstable at the time."

Liu Qingshan stopped the screen: "You see, he checked Mr. Xu's condition at the time and should have thought of saving him."

Xu Chunliang gritted his teeth. No matter what Zheng Pei'an had done to the Xu family before, it could not offset the sin he committed against his grandfather.

Liu Qingshan continued to look down: "Who is the man next to Xu Jiawen?"

The police officer said: "A professor at Nanjiang University, his name is Sui Dongjun, seems to be pursuing Xu Jiawen recently."

Liu Qingshan and Lu Qi looked at each other, and they asked almost at the same time: "Why is he here?"

The police officer said: "We also asked the same question. It's like this. They live in the same community. Sui Dongjun was also on his way home from school at the time. This overpass is usually their only way. He heard the crying and hurried over to see the situation. After finding out that it was Xu Jiawen, he accompanied him throughout the whole process and helped send the deceased to the hospital."

Liu Qingshan winked at him, reminding him to use words carefully, because the word "deceased" can easily irritate the nerves of family members.

Fortunately, Xu Chunliang had completely calmed down: "Has my grandfather died before he went to the hospital?"

The police officer said: "According to the hospital, he was already in a state of brain death before 120 arrived at the hospital."

Lu Qi patted Xu Chunliang on the shoulder to comfort him. He knew very well how Xu Chunliang felt about his grandfather.

Liu Qingshan said: "Find Zheng Pei'an as soon as possible. I feel that this person has a tendency to commit suicide, and..." He glanced at Xu Chunliang.

Lu Qi saw that there were some things he didn't want to say in front of Xu Chunliang, and said to Xu Chunliang: "Chunliang, let's go out first."

Xu Chunliang nodded and went out with Lu Qi.

After the two of them left, Liu Qingshan rewound the screen back to Sui Dongjun's part: "Check this person carefully. It's past eleven o'clock in the evening and it's raining. He just happened to appear here. I always think this matter is a bit strange."

The police officer in charge of the case smiled and said: "Captain Liu, you have handled too many criminal cases. This person has a good reputation in Nanjiang University. He was indeed passing by."

Liu Qingshan said: "Whether he passed by or not, it's always good to find out clearly. Find out his route of action that night, and the specific time he went out." This case did not belong to him, so Liu Qingshan was not convenient to intervene, and could only ask his colleagues for help.

The rain had stopped, but the sky was still cloudy. Xu Chunliang and Lu Qi stood in the yard. It was the first time Lu Qi saw him so haggard, so he took a bottle of water from the car and handed it to him.

Xu Chunliang shook his head.

Lu Qi said, "What are your plans?"

Xu Chunliang said, "My dad should be here tonight, and he must see grandpa for the last time."

Lu Qi sighed and said, "There are unexpected events, and some things are beyond human control."

Xu Chunliang said, "Blame me. If I had called earlier, maybe everything could have been avoided."

Lu Qi said, "Don't blame yourself. No one would have thought this would happen."

Xu Chunliang's cell phone rang. It was his aunt Xu Jiaan who called. The phone rang a few times before Xu Chunliang answered.

"Chunliang, can you come to my aunt's house? We have something to discuss with you."

Xu Chunliang said indifferently: "I'm at the police station. We'll talk later if there's anything." He expected that they wouldn't have any urgent matters. Zheng Pei'an was responsible for the death of his grandfather, and his aunt Xu Jiawen would undoubtedly bear a lot of responsibility.

Xu Chunliang hung up the phone and said to Lu Qi: "You two brothers go back first, don't delay your work."

Lu Qi said: "We both asked for leave. After all, this is not Dongzhou. It's always good to have more people to help."

Xu Chunliang nodded.

Lu Qi said: "By the way, do you want to notify other friends? Give me the list and I'll arrange it."

Xu Chunliang said: "Wait until my dad comes."

Lu Qi said: "Okay."

Xu Chunliang asked Lu Qi to help him keep an eye on the investigation here. He drove towards the funeral home. The route he drove just passed the overpass where his grandfather had an accident last night. Xu Chunliang slowed down and imagined the scene of the accident.

At this time, Xu Chunliang received a call.

After the call was connected, the other party did not speak.

"Hello? Who is this?"

A wheezing sound came from the receiver. Xu Chunliang judged the identity of the other party from the breath. He pulled the car over to the side of the road: "Is it you! Zheng Pei'an?"

Zheng Pei'an's voice was full of regret and helplessness: "Chunliang, I really didn't mean to hurt Grandpa You... I really didn't... it was an accident, a complete accident. Don't blame me..."

Xu Chunliang tried his best to control the anger in his heart: "Where are you?"

"Master, how is he? Tell me, master, how is he?"

Xu Chunliang wondered secretly, did Zheng Pei'an not know that his grandfather had passed away? Impossible. He clearly judged that his grandfather could no longer be cured and fled out of fear of crime. Xu Chun had a change of heart and wanted to stabilize him first: "You still have the nerve to ask?"

Zheng Pei'an said with a cry: "I was wrong, I was wrong, Chunliang, I'm afraid."

"where are you?"

"Tianqiao, I am right where Master's accident happened. I know Master will not forgive me, and none of you will forgive me. I will jump down, and I will jump down now."

Xu Chunliang was stunned for a moment, then opened the door and got out of the car, looking towards the overpass, only to see Zheng Pei'an standing on the overpass, holding the railing with one hand and talking on the phone with the other.

Recalling Liu Qingshan's words about Zheng Pei'an's suicidal tendencies, he immediately said: "You selfish coward, how dare you make a mistake but not face it? Do you think it will be over if you jump?" He never thought that Zheng Pei'an would come back. return.

Zheng Pei'an said tremblingly: "Yes, I am a coward...it was me who killed Master..."

Xu Chunliang said: "If you still have the slightest conscience, you should go to grandpa and admit your mistake to him."

Zheng Peian said: "Master will not forgive me, Master will not forgive me."

Xu Chunliang had already arrived on the overpass. Zheng Pei'an was still talking on the phone, seemingly unaware of Xu Chunliang's arrival. It was the peak hour of work and people were coming and going, but no one paid attention to the man on the phone.

Xu Chunliang thought that Zheng Pei'an didn't notice him and used the crowd to cover himself. When he got close to a certain distance, he rushed forward like a cheetah. He grabbed Zheng Pei'an's hand and roared: "Let me see where you are running away?"

Zheng Pei'an twisted his body and dropped his phone to the ground with a strange smile on his face. There was a fruit knife stuck in his left chest and his shirt was stained red with blood.

Xu Chunliang was shocked when he saw the scene in front of him. He suddenly realized that he might have fallen into a trap carefully designed by others.

Xu Chunliang let go of Zheng Pei'an, and Zheng Pei'an's body fell straight up on the overpass. The sound of the back of his head hitting the ground alarmed passers-by. Screams came from all around, and passers-by evaded in succession.

Xu Chunliang took a step back and looked at Zheng Pei'an, who was lying motionless on the ground. Instead, he calmed down and took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Captain Liu, I found Zheng Pei'an."

Xu Chunliang did not rescue Zheng Pei'an because Zheng Pei'an was already dead. If he was still alive, he might try it. There is no need now. Contact with Zheng Pei'an's body would make the situation more complicated.

Liu Qingshan led the police to the scene quickly. Xu Chunliang had been controlled by the police who arrived at the scene immediately. He did not resist the whole process. This was a well-designed game. Before he found Zheng Pei'an, the fruit knife had already stabbed him. Entered Zheng Pei'an's heart.

He has call records and there is surveillance on the overpass, which should be able to prove his innocence.

The forensic doctor examined Zheng Pei'an's body and concluded that he was dead. After seeking Liu Qingshan's permission, he pulled out the fruit knife that caused Zheng Pei'an's death. Next, they would analyze the fingerprints on the fruit knife to determine whether it was related to Xu Chunliang.

Of course, Liu Qingshan also noticed the existence of the surveillance and asked his assistant to retrieve the surveillance immediately, hoping to use the surveillance to restore the entire process of the incident.

Many passers-by at the scene became witnesses. Basically, these people did not see the specific situation clearly, but a few of them insisted that they saw Xu Chunliang and Zheng Pei'an having a dispute, and then Zheng Pei'an was put down to the ground.

One of the eldest ladies sweeping the floor vowed: "I heard it. He said I'll see where you run away. Then they started fighting. During the fight, I seemed to see a flash of a knife, and then the knife was inserted into the chest of that person." ”

Liu Qingshan knows that the confessions of these passers-by cannot be disbelieved or fully believed. Many people will make up a lot of content in their minds. The facts they describe are often just facts in their imaginations. The funny thing is that they usually still believe them deeply.
