Chapter 491 Jiang Yanyan Was Ill
The interrogation of Yushu did not end the theft case, but made the case more confusing. From the moment he saw the bracelet in the ancestral hall last night, Chen Yi was mentally prepared.
Unexpectedly, Yushu's confession was more bizarre than expected, and the bracelet was given away for free.
Chen Yi didn't believe it 99%, and the remaining 1% was an extremely unlikely event.
For example, there really is a person in the portrait. He was really "selfless" and stole the bracelet to Yushu. His motive was not for Yushu, but for the bracelet.
It even has something to do with the worship at the Yuluo Village ancestral hall.
You can think of it this way. The thief originally wanted to put Jiang Yanyan's bracelet into the Yuluo Village Ancestral Hall. Yushu's predicament just gave him the opportunity. Everyone gets what they need and everyone is happy. It is a win-win situation.
This infers that Chen Yicai will believe it, but that is only 1%, and there is still a 99% probability that Yushu is lying.
There was another question that Chen Yi didn't ask, because he knew it would be a waste of effort to ask it.
According to Yushu's confession, why should he be afraid of the police? Why should the police be prevented from entering the village?
It doesn't make sense.
Yushu didn't know that the bracelet was stolen. His mistake was just breaking the bracelet in the ancestral hall. What does it have to do with the police?
Whether he broke the jade bracelet or accepted the bracelet from others, he was not involved in any illegal crime. He should not be afraid of the police.
This is critical.
He really shouldn't be afraid of the police.
However, the fact is that Yushu took great pains to prevent the police from entering the village. Han Yuedong fell off his horse and almost fell down. That's why Chen Yi thought that Yushu was still lying, or that he was not lying but was hiding something.
His expression was very sincere during the interrogation. Chen Yi affirmed his acting skills, which was not easy for a young man from a mountain village.
The most important thing right now is to let Jiang Mingfu identify the bracelet, and then let Hu Qingzhi investigate and find the person in the portrait.
Chen Yi needs to determine the new direction of murder investigation.
The matter of the bracelet is far less important than the four lives.
"Have you seen Shi Lin and Yue Qing outside the village?" This was Chen Yi's last question.
Yushu was confused: "Shi Lin? Sister Yue Qing? I haven't seen them for several years. I don't know where they went."
Chen Yi left the interrogation room. He found Lao Shao and asked him to inquire about the whereabouts of Shi Lin and Yue Qing in Yuluo Village. After all, he had already promised the village chief. No matter whether the two fell out, it would not affect the fulfillment of the promise.
"Okay Captain Chen, I will ask someone during this period." Lao Shao said that there is no problem. As long as the person is still in Mengzhen Town, he will definitely be found.
Since there has been no news for such a long time, Chen Yi estimates that the two of them are no longer in Mengzhen Town, so they will look for them again.
After dawn, Liang Qidong sent someone to escort the bracelet back to Mingcheng, while he and Chen Yi escorted Yushu to Ruicheng.
The results of the interrogation last night have been notified to Hu Qingzhi. The other party will also leave for Ruicheng today, and both parties will gather in Ruicheng.
Yushu met the suspect in Ruicheng, so Ruicheng will naturally be the focus of the investigation. In the future, the two cases will be launched in Ruicheng at the same time.
After noon.
Ruicheng Bureau.
The director and the deputy bureau in charge welcomed Chen Yi's arrival. They wanted to arrange a dinner but Chen Yi declined. They packed meals in the city bureau canteen and ate directly in the conference room, chatting about the case while eating.
The direction of Yuluo Village is temporarily blocked, and it is currently unclear why Tu Xiangnan appeared in Mengzhen Town. Chen Yi speculated that he might be picking up jade.
"I think it's just to pick up jade and sell it for money." Liang Qidong agreed with Chen Yi's judgment and gave a reasonable basis. "Three or four years ago, Tu Xiangnan's hotel had some operational problems and was in urgent need of capital injection. He went to Yu I came to the village just to try my luck.”
Chen Yi was eating his meal and asked, "Is there any relevant investigation conclusion?"
Liang Qidong: "Looking back now... Tu Xiangnan did not have any obvious windfall. Later, the hotel borrowed money from Rao Jiawu and Mi Deli to survive the crisis."
Shi Xin looked over and said, "Then why didn't he borrow it directly? Instead, he went to Yuluo Village first."
Liang Qidong shook his head: "I don't know, maybe it's hard to ask. It's quite difficult to borrow money these days, especially borrowing a large amount."
He Xin stopped talking and continued eating.
After the atmosphere was silent for a while, Qin Fei raised a new question: "How did Tu Xiangnan know that Yuluo Village was full of jadeite? He had been there? But all the villagers said they had never seen it."
Cheng Hanjun said: "You don't have to go into the village, right? There may be jade outside the village. There were so many jadeite rough stones staying in Yuluo Village back then. Over time, some of them will be missed."
Chen Yidao: "There is one outside the village, I have seen it."
This time when he went to Yuluo Village, he deliberately observed on the road. There were indeed jadeite stones that no one cared about, lying alone in the mountains and forests, experiencing wind, sun, and rain.
He didn't look closely and sift through what was left, and the value wasn't much higher.
It may be of really high quality, but the probability of winning the jackpot is about the same as buying a lottery ticket.
First of all, this piece of jade needs to escape the screening of Bagan and Yuluo villagers, then it needs to happen to fall in the mountains, and then someone is lucky enough to happen upon it, and it needs extremely high eyesight to recognize the value of the rough stone...
Even if one link is missing, it would be better to buy a lottery ticket.
Therefore, if Tu Xiangnan went to Mengzhen Town really for Yuluo Village and to look for jade inside and outside Yuluo Village, then he had a bold inference.
Qin Fei has just said it.
"Maybe Tu Xiangnan has really gone into the mountains before and picked up some good things." Chen Yi's voice continued.
Several people stopped eating and turned to look at Chen Yi.
This guess is still very reasonable. If he has never tasted the benefits, why would he do it?
"Currently...no such thing has been found." Liang Qidong said.
Just because it hasn't been found doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it's basically impossible to implement it. The person is already dead and his family would have told them if they knew.
Chen Yi almost finished eating and put down his chopsticks: "The four street gangsters have all achieved success in their careers. This is doubtful. We can make a guess based on new clues."
Hearing this, those who had not yet finished eating speeded up and waited for the next step after finishing.
Chen Yidao: "If Tu Xiangnan had tasted the benefits of being in Yuluo Village, did he go alone? Is it possible that four people went together? Or more than four people?"
"Based on this logic, I think of the serial murders caused by tomb robbing in Jiangcheng. Infighting occurred for profit, and the descendants took revenge."
"Don't worry about whether it's reliable or not, just put it on. Tu Xiangnan and his party picked up good things in Yuluo Village. Seeing the wealth, the four of them plotted for money and death. Many years later, someone avenged the deceased and killed the people involved one by one."
"Just because the deceased person was not a friend of Tu Xiangnan and the others, Lao Liang did not gain anything in his investigation of interpersonal relationships."
After the words fell, several people began to think deeply.
There is no problem with the logic, and this is not a wild guess. After all, there must be a reason for Tu Xiangnan's inexplicable appearance in Mengzhen Town, and the probability of going for Jade is relatively high. And the four gangsters have achieved success in their careers, so the other three There is also the possibility of participation.
As for the murderous plot later...it's hard to say.
Since Chen Yi said he didn't care whether it was reliable or not, it meant that he didn't have any confidence and was just making a guess that was not a direction.
"The possibility does exist."
Liang Qidong felt that he should support Chen Yi at this time.
Chen Yi did not delve into this topic. In short, the next step is to find out whether the success of the four victims was accidental or inevitable. It is probably necessary to find out... the position of six or seven years.
Six or seven years ago, the four of them were still fooling around on the street.
If ill-gotten gains are found... it can be directly classified as a vendetta.
"Are there any cases of murder in Ruicheng in the past years?" Chen Yi asked.
Liang Qidong shook his head: "No."
Chen Yi pondered for a while and said: "Let's check first. The Korean team has already covered a wide area. To save time, we will not repeat his old path. We should think outside the box and start with small probability events and take our time."
Liang Qidong: "Everything depends on Captain Chen."
Hu Qingzhi arrived at around three o'clock in the afternoon. At this time, the task force was still in the conference room, resting, chatting, and waiting.
Hu Qingzhi and the police officers he brought each prepared a teppanyaki, and the entire conference room was immediately filled with a strong aroma.
"I'm sorry I didn't have time to eat on the way, so I saw a Teppanyaki restaurant selling it in front of the city bureau, so I bought one."
Hu Qingzhi apologized and explained.
Chen Yi smiled and said it was okay, and motioned for everyone to sit down.
"Old Liang, is there someone behind that Teppanyaki seller? She seems to be the only stall in such a big street, and the city management doesn't even dare to chase her away."
As the captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Mingcheng City Bureau, his acumen is no joke. He can spot problems with just a Teppanyaki stall.
Chen Yi found it interesting and looked at Liang Qidong.
He also noticed that stall. If he dared to set up a stall in front of the city bureau and there was only one stall, he definitely had something to offer.
Liang Qidong coughed: "No, no, Hu Zhi thinks too much."
Hu Qingzhi chewed the food and smiled without saying a word.
It's also good to have a Teppanyaki seller. The police officers in the bureau who are out in the field can quickly solve the hunger problem. Moreover, even the internal police, technical detectives, and civilians are tired of eating in the cafeteria every day.
The biggest advantage of junk food is that it can bring people happiness.
Chen Yi took out his cigarette and flicked the filter, then put it in his mouth and lit it. He looked at Hu Qingzhi and said: "Lao Hu, the portrait is on the table, right in front of you. This person was not found in the database, so I leave it to you. ”
Hearing this, Hu Qingzhi turned his head slightly, stood up, took away the portrait and sat back. While observing the portrait, he said, "Does such a powerful thief have no criminal record? Is the portrait not accurate enough?"
"Well……"
Chen Yi didn't know how to answer, so he subconsciously looked at Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked like his professionalism was being questioned. With his brother-in-law here, he became bolder and immediately spoke: "Hu Zhi, I drew the portrait. As long as the suspect's description is correct, the accuracy can definitely reach the search level. I have confidence."
Hu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, and after taking a look at Lin Chen, he smiled and said: "Of course, the people brought by Team Chen must have two brushes, so I have to go and visit them carefully. Master thieves with no criminal record... Tsk, they are very rare. "
Chen Yi slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said: "So there may be other inside stories about this case. Lao Hu pays attention to it and must be careful."
Hu Qingzhi said seriously: "I understand... Oh, by the way, there is something I want to report."
Chen Yi: "Say."
Hu Qingzhi stuffed the last bite of Teppanyaki into his mouth, swallowed it quickly, and said, "Didn't Captain Chen suggest me to investigate Jiang Yanyan in depth before leaving? I checked, but I don't know if it counts as a clue, Jiang Yanyan I had a serious illness and recovered later.”
"A serious illness?" Chen Yi thought thoughtfully, "What serious illness is it specifically?"
Hu Qingzhi: "It's quite strange. Black spots appeared all over my body. I went to many hospitals and tried many folk remedies to cure it. Now I'm fine and cured."
Chen Yi was silent for a while and asked: "When?"
Hu Qingzhi: "Probably... the year before last. The symptoms started the year before last. The next year, which was last year, it became more and more serious. Later, I took a medicinal bath and it was cured. I used folk remedies."
Chen Yi said, "Oh", this incident seems to have nothing to do with the theft of the bracelet, but...
Thinking that Jiang Mingfu wore a bracelet worth 100 million for his daughter, and before leaving, he specially blocked the door of the provincial department and asked him to investigate the theft case first, this is a bit strange.
"When exactly did you recover?" he asked.
Hu Qingzhi: "It's hard to say. Anyway, it healed slowly, not so fast, and there is no exact date."
Chen Yi: "Did people start dying when it got better?"
"Ah?" Hu Qingzhi took a while to realize that the other party was talking about the Ruicheng murder case, "This... Let me think about it, I remember the medicinal bath was... in October in the second half of the year... Well, people started dying, no, they were all dead, and Rao Jiawu had been killed at that time."
Rao Jiawu was the last person to die.
"Is there a connection here?!" Hu Qingzhi suddenly came to his senses just after answering.
Chen Yi raised his hand: "Don't jump to conclusions yet. Did Jiang Mingfu cooperate when you investigated Jiang Yanyan?"
Hu Qingzhi nodded: "Yes, he cooperated, but he felt confused and questioned why I investigated Jiang Yanyan instead of looking for the thief."
Chen Yi thought for a moment and wrote down this matter. He could ask someone about it in the future when investigating.
The rich people in Mingcheng... their hands should not reach out to Ruicheng for no reason, right? Unless there is a specific reason.
At this moment, after learning about Jiang Yanyan's strange disease, Chen Yi seemed to touch a vague line in the dark, based on experience and intuition, but he couldn't tell the beginning and end of the line, let alone the specific content of the line.
It might be an illusion, or he might have really caught something.
While the meeting was going on, the bracelet had been sent to the Mingcheng Provincial Department. Jiang Mingfu, who got the news, rushed over as fast as he could and confirmed on the spot that the bracelet was what his daughter had lost.
He was extremely surprised. He really didn't expect that the lost bracelet could be found, and he immediately asked to take it away.
Xia Lanshan said that this was stolen goods and could not be taken back before the case was closed.
"What? Can't take it back?" Jiang Mingfu was angry, "I must take it away today! The bracelet is very important to my daughter, you...you can do it, anyway, it won't affect your arrest."
Xia Lanshan refused. The bracelet couldn't be lost in the provincial department. If it was lost, it would be my fault. Why are you so anxious? It's not expired, can it go bad? It's not a problem to leave it for a thousand years.
Jiang Mingfu was determined to take it away. Seeing that Xia Lanshan disagreed, he immediately used his connections to put pressure on her.
It worked. Politics and business are inseparable. Jiang Mingfu's status in Mingcheng is still not low. The Criminal Investigation Corps under the Provincial Department is just a public security unit after all. After receiving a call, Xia Lanshan had no choice but to push the box containing the bracelet to Jiang Mingfu.
It doesn't matter. It will be given sooner or later anyway. If the owner has a relationship, then give it in advance. There is no need to confront the higher-ups.
After Jiang Mingfu left with satisfaction, Xia Lanshan took out his mobile phone and called Chen Yi.
This matter needs to be told to the other party.
