Chapter 574 It Is Most Likely Luo Ting

The reaction said it all. The old man's anger meant that Chen Yi's words were quite inappropriate. To a man, they might even be a little insulting.

"Come back!"

"I'll have a good chat with you!"

The old man greeted Chen Yi, as if he wanted to educate this unabashed boy.

Chen Yi did not move, staring at the old couple, and at the same time stretched out his right hand towards He Xin.

He Xin responded quickly. He didn't need to listen to what the other party said. He immediately took out his cell phone and pulled up the photo he had just taken and handed it over.

Chen Yi took it and bowed his head slightly.

The phone screen displayed a photo of a female in her early twenties. Her clothes were quite fashionable, but they did not match her temperament, and she seemed to be imitating others.

This is Luo Ting.

It can be seen that she wants to work hard to improve her personal image, but the cognition cast by the environment in which she grew up does not allow her to have such ability.

Dressing up can be changed instantly, but temperament takes time and money to settle.

Chen Yi compared the photos and portraits together. There were deviations in the details of the face shape, but the overall look was quite similar.

It's not necessarily the same person.

Because of this, he didn't ask too deeply before the DNA paternity test results came out.

Suddenly, Chen Yi's eyes froze, his hand holding the phone came closer, and he looked at the retro jade pendant worn around Luo Ting's neck.

This jade pendant looks familiar.

He would definitely not forget what he had seen, and he remembered it after just a moment of recollection.

When I first met Zuoqiu Anqing at the beginning of this year, he had such a jade pendant around his neck.

He thought carefully, including the color and material of the jade pendant rope, and finally determined that they should be exactly the same.

Is this a sisterly bond, wearing the same jewelry?

Or is it that Luo Ting gave her jade pendant to Zuoqiu Anqing?

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Chen Yi in a daze, Xie Yunzhi also came closer.

Chen Yi pointed to the jade pendant on Luo Ting's neck and said, "This jade pendant should be the same as the jade pendant on Zuoqiu Anqing's neck."

Xie Yunzhi: "Exactly the same?"

Chen Yi: "My memory is correct, it's exactly the same, and so is the rope."

Xie Yunzhi didn't think it was important and said, "It's mass-produced stuff, right? What kind of precious jewelry can a little girl in the countryside afford?"

Chen Yi asked back: "What about Zuoqiu Anqing?

You already know Zuoqiu Anqing's personality. An idealist like her who pursues class transcendence, and a money worshiper who wants to wear famous brands all over her body, will wear street goods? "

Xie Yunzhi couldn't answer: "This..."

Chen Yi: "Assuming you are right, this jade pendant is mass-produced by modern industry, then Zuoqiu Anqing's willingness to wear it for a long time must have a special meaning.

Lao Xie, do you think Zuoqiu Anqing and Luo Ting... might have changed? "

Xie Yunzhi didn't understand: "Changed it?"

He understood in the next second and said in surprise: "The white bones are Zuoqiu Anqing, and the current Zuoqiu Anqing is Luo Ting? Did she have plastic surgery?"

Chen Yi signaled Xie Yunzhi to calm down: "I'm just raising a possibility. Zuoqiu Anqing has an identical jade pendant around his neck. Maybe it's not exactly the same, but the same one?"

After speaking, he pointed to the photo on the phone screen.

Xie Yunzhi: "Have you considered the height issue?"

Chen Yi: "I have considered it, but there is a certain deviation."

Xie Yunzhi: "That's not the case. You're overthinking. I think it's more believable that Luo Ting is not her biological daughter. Your mind is spinning very fast. Go ahead and ask."

While we were chatting, the old man became impatient and shouted: "What are you talking about? That young man, the leader! Come here! Tell me the question you just asked again and let me listen!"

At the age where he is wearing a shroud and waiting to die, he is not afraid of any leader at all. Respect is respect. It is to give you face and give face to the government. If you really get angry, who do you care?

It would be nice if I didn't hit you with a stick.

"Chen Yi, I think he wants to hit you." Xie Yunzhi motioned for Chen Yi to go first.

He is a man of seventy or eighty years old, with no children or a daughter and no family. He can only accept it as bad luck if he is beaten, otherwise he can still be arrested?

If you want to fight, just fight Chen Yi. Anyway, he is not from Ningcheng.

Chen Yi rolled his eyes at Xie Yunzhi and turned back.

Qin Fei took the first step to prevent the old man from actually taking action. In his eyes, Chen Yi was the most important. If anyone relied on his old man and betrayed him, he would do it even if he was punished.

"Have a cigarette?" Chen Yi took out a cigarette and handed it over.

Although the old man was angry, he still took the cigarette and blew his beard and glared: "Young man, you can eat and talk indiscriminately, but you have a very serious problem."

Chen Yi sat down and said, "But the girl in the portrait also has a very serious problem."

Now we can no longer care about the consequences of confessing. Even if the old couple cannot bear it and end up in the hospital, they still have to say it.

Only if the information from both parties is completely shared can it be considered a perfect investigation.

Chen Yi still believes that the white bones that appeared on the island in the middle of the lake are probably Luo Ting. As for the results of the DNA paternity test, there can be other explanations.

For example, I held the baby wrongly during birth.

For example, fostering.

Thirty years ago, there were midwives in the village, which were very informal. Adoption issues were very widespread under the family planning policy at that time.

The old man said: "She and my daughter do look very similar. What's the serious problem?"

Chen Yi realized that what he said before was not straightforward enough. The understanding ability of the old couple is limited. If you put the suspected portrait of your daughter in front of them, they might not think the worst and just feel like it.

Just like.

There is no other thought except the image.

"Uncle, when did Luo Ting buy this jade pendant?" Chen Yi asked about the jade pendant step by step.

The old man's eyes were blurry. He blinked and looked far and near for a long time before he could see clearly. He replied: "It's inherited from the ancestors. She has been wearing it since she was a child."

Chen Yi: "Heirloom? That means Luo Ting can't give it to others, right?"

The old man got angry again: "What are you asking, young man? How can you give away something inherited from the ancestors? Even the son-in-law can't give it away. I told her to wear it all the time and not take it off."

It's broken.

Chen Yi realized that something was not good.

Since it couldn't be given to others, how could the jade pendant end up on Zuo Qiu Anqing's neck.

Chen Yi hesitated for a moment and said: "Uncle, I saw the same one on another girl's neck, Zuo Cuili."

The old man laughed: "Impossible, I'm joking."

Compared with the facts, words are pale. Chen Yi didn't have a photo of Zuo Qiu Anqing, so he sent a message to Jiang Fanlei.

Asking for a photo of his ex-girlfriend, Jiang Fanlei replied with one word: Get lost.

Chen Yi replied: It is needed for the investigation, don't waste time.

Jiang Fanlei was quiet for a while, and sent a group photo.

Chen Yi was just trying it out, but he didn't expect Jiang Fanlei to have a real stock.

He enlarged the group photo and left Zuo Qiu Anqing alone, and then showed it to the old man.

The old man glanced at it casually, and his face suddenly changed after seeing it clearly. He snatched the phone to confirm it again, and whispered to his wife beside him.

After confirming it, the old man was a little excited: "How did my daughter's jade pendant end up on Zuo Cuili's neck?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "I don't know."

The old man staggered and wanted to stand up, but his feet were unstable and he almost fell. His wife quickly supported him.

Out of politeness, Chen Yi also stood up.

This old couple definitely cares about Luo Ting. Luo Ting's leaving the village five years ago must have a story.

"I have to go to the Zuo family to ask!!" The old man wanted to leave.

Chen Yi stopped him: "Uncle, Zuo Cuili hasn't been home for a long time. You won't get anything if you ask her. And I need to remind you that whether Luo Ting is her biological daughter is extremely important and concerns her life and death.

Did you understand? It's about life and death."

If she is her biological daughter, the bones are not Luo Ting, so the daughter may still be alive. We can look for her. As long as she is alive, we can find her with her ID card.

If she is not her biological daughter, we can confirm that the bones are Luo Ting.

All the clues, including the jade pendant, can be matched, except for the DNA paternity test.

The old man's lips trembled: "What did you say? Dead??"

From beginning to end, he didn't understand the situation and needed to explain it very clearly.

He is old and still an uneducated rural person, so he is a little confused.

Chen Yi: "Is Luo Ting your biological daughter? Please tell the truth."

Old man: "This...does this have anything to do with life and death?"

Chen Yi: "Tell the truth first, and I'll talk about the relationship."

The old man was silent for a long time, turned his head and looked at his wife. After decades of husband and wife, they could understand each other's inner thoughts with just one look.

When he looked at Chen Yi again, a vicissitudes of life and hoarse voice sounded: "No."

Seeing that the old man admitted that she was not a biological daughter, Xie Yunzhi took a breath of cold air. Fortunately, he didn't leave just now, otherwise the direction would be messed up again.

Chen Yi's face was full of regret. Since she was not a biological daughter, the only unreasonable thing disappeared, so the bones were basically Luo Ting.

Regrets are regrets, but the existence of bones is a fact. The difference is whose daughter she is. In the face of death, everyone is equal, and there is no distinction between high and low.

How to answer?

There is no absolute evidence to prove that the bones are Luo Ting, but all clues point to the bones being Luo Ting. The police can already investigate according to Luo Ting, but it seems inappropriate to answer the victim's family.

Alive? Irresponsible.

Dead? What if something unexpected happens?

The old couple waited anxiously. After weighing the pros and cons, Chen Yi explained the matter of the bones and the portrait restoration done by the police in plain language. He also mentioned that the jade pendant was not found at the scene and was now on Zuo Cuili's neck.

Zuo Qiu Anqing and Luo Ting had a good relationship.

Various clues showed that the possibility that the bones were Luo Ting could reach more than 90%.

The old couple seemed to understand, but they only had one sentence in their minds: the police judged that the dead person was Luo Ting.

Grief was about to break out. Chen Yi didn't want to see the scene of the old man sending the black-haired person, so he left the yard.

While standing at the gate and lighting a cigarette, the old man's hoarse and deep crying sounded behind him. The crying contained endless sadness, as if pouring out the pain of a lifetime.

It can be imagined that the old couple must be in tears at this moment.

Not a biological child, but treated as a biological child.

Now is not the time to ask about Luo Ting's life experience.

Xie Yunzhi also came out, took out his own cigarette and lit it. The two stood side by side, looking at the village ahead, and remained silent for a long time.

"Is the case going to be solved?" Xie Yunzhi spoke after finishing half a cigarette.

Chen Yi: "Really? Why do I have a feeling that it has just begun?"

Xie Yunzhi turned his head: "The deceased is Luo Ting, her boyfriend and bestie went to the lake island for various reasons, and the bones appeared on the lake island again, and the jade pendant passed down from Luo Ting's family is now hanging on Zuo Qiu Anqing's neck. Isn't the case solved?"

What he meant was that as long as he asked Zuo Qiu Anqing where the jade pendant came from, everything might be revealed.

Luo Ting's father just said that the ancestral jade pendant could never be given to others, so there was only one way for Zuo Qiu Anqing to get it: taking it from the dead.

And that Luo Bao, he is also a suspect.

It doesn’t matter who killed him, and the motive doesn’t matter. We’ll know after the trial.

Chen Yi nodded: “We have to ask. Either Luo Bao is involved in the case, or Zuo Qiu Anqing is involved.”

Xie Yunzhi suggested a possibility: “What about conspiracy?”

Chen Yi: “I don’t think so. If it’s conspiracy, the bones should never see the light of day.

It’s obvious that someone wants to redress the wronged soul. In addition to Luo Bao and Zuo Qiu Anqing, is there a third person?”

Xie Yunzhi understood: “You mean, a good guy and a bad guy, a murderer and a friend.”

Chen Yi: “Yes.”

After thinking about it, Xie Yunzhi said: “Since the jade pendant is on Zuo Qiu Anqing, it is relatively likely that she is a friend. Wearing a friend’s jade pendant reminds herself to avenge her friend and let the murderer pay for his life.

She went to the lake island through the back door for Luo Bao just to reproduce the bones in front of him, telling him that what he had done would not be covered up, and telling him that retribution is coming.

On the contrary, if she killed someone and still wore the other person’s jewelry, she would Aren't you afraid of having nightmares at night? Normal people can't do it. "

Chen Yi: "The logic is fine at present. Continue. What's the motive?"

Xie Yunzhi: "Refer to the image of Chen Shimei in film and television dramas."

Chen Yi threw away the cigarette and stomped it out with his foot without leaving any sparks. He said: "Refer to the image of Chen Shimei in film and television dramas. There must be a third woman. I remember that Luo Bao's information shows that he is unmarried. Has he not been married for five years?"

Xie Yunzhi: "Maybe something happened in the middle, or he has been in love. You can check it out."

Chen Yi sighed: "You are cruel enough."

Xie Yunzhi was surprised: "Why?"

Chen Yi: "Luo Bao and Luo Ting are not married, so Luo Bao does not have an extramarital affair and is a free person. If the matter is consistent with your guess, then the reason that can make Luo Bao choose to kill can only be pregnancy.

One corpse and two lives, isn't it cruel?"

"Uh."

Xie Yunzhi silently took the last puff of the cigarette, threw it away and stomped it out.

He didn't think so deeply.

If Luo Bao really wants to do this, it's too cruel.

At the moment, it was just idle chat and speculation, which was not of reference value, and could not affect Chen Yi's judgment and future investigation direction.

The two people each accounted for 50%. He had no prejudice and did not deepen his suspicion because of Zuoqiu Anqing's character, nor did he reduce his suspicion because Zuoqiu Anqing wore a jade pendant.

Let the facts speak for everything and let the evidence speak.

At this moment, recalling the expressions of Zuoqiu Anqing and Luo Bao when they were questioned by the police, I can say that their acting skills were good. Just the fact that the jade pendant was on Zuoqiu Anqing's neck was enough to determine that both of them were suspected.

And the old couple behind them also had good acting skills.

When it came to whether they were biological children, the anger shown by the old man was really like that, but in the end it was really not biological.

There was still crying in the yard.

Chen Yi and Xie Yunzhi lit another cigarette and continued to chat until the crying stopped. Qin Fei came out and said that it was almost time to ask, and the two entered the yard.

The last topic just now was about the child trafficking case.

Perhaps, there were more than one child abducted from Linqi Village.

No one can be sure whether the suspects arrested and the victims rescued at that time were part of the case or all of them.
