Chapter 577 It’s Complicated Again
The return journey was very quiet. Chen Yi sat in the car without saying a word, and no one knew what he was thinking.
He Shixin and the other two knew that Chen Yi must be thinking about the case, so they kept silent and did not disturb him. The only sound in the car was the wind noise outside the window and the tire noise.
A few hours later, the vehicle got off the toll station and entered Yangcheng. It was dark. Chen Yi raised his head slightly and said, "Go find Luo Bao first and call him to ask where he is."
Hearing this, Qin Fei was about to take out his mobile phone, but turned back and saw that He Shixin had taken out his mobile phone and dialed the number.
After chatting for a few words, the phone was hung up. He Shixin said that Luo Bao was eating outside.
Alone.
After getting the address, Lin Chen changed the route and stopped at the door of a ramen restaurant in the city forty minutes later.
No parking area Lin Chen stayed to watch the car. Chen Yi and Qin Fei He Shixin entered the store. At this time, Luo Bao had finished eating and was sitting there playing with his mobile phone.
There were not many customers, and only a few could be seen sporadically.
Chen Yi sat in front of Luo Bao.
"Captain Chen, you..."
"Don't talk, listen to me." Luo Bao just smiled when he was interrupted by Chen Yi, "Do you know Luo Ting?"
Luo Bao was puzzled: "Luo Ting? Yes, I know her. We are from the same village."
Chen Yi: "What's the relationship?"
Luo Bao: "Ex-girlfriend."
Chen Yi: "Dating for a long time, right?"
Luo Bao nodded: "Yes, we dated for a long time. We had a good relationship when we were young. It was until college that my family strongly opposed it. We had no choice but to break up. It's a pity."
Chen Yi had a blank expression: "Since you have been dating for a long time, you must be very familiar with Luo Ting, and you must be familiar with everything about her, right?"
Luo Bao was even more puzzled: "What exactly does Captain Chen want to say?"
Chen Yi raised his head, and He Shixin, who was standing next to him, put his mobile phone on the table. The screen of the mobile phone showed the jade pendant on Luo Ting's neck.
"Do you know her?" Chen Yi asked.
Luo Bao looked at it and said, "I know her. The jewelry on Luo Ting's neck has been worn since she was a child and has never been taken off."
Chen Yi waved his hand to signal He Shixin to continue, and the latter brought up the jade pendant on Zuoqiu Anqing's neck for Luo Bao to see.
"Do you know him?"
Luo Bao: "Yes, An Qing is wearing it. This is a gift from Luo Ting to An Qing."
Chen Yi: "Did Zuoqiu An Qing tell you that?"
Luo Bao: "Yes, I was wondering at that time, how could the jewelry that I had worn for many years be given to An Qing."
Chen Yi stared at Luo Bao, capturing every subtle change in his expression.
According to the investigation of Linqi Village, the other party is highly suspected of being involved in the case. It is speculated that the white bones that suddenly appeared on the island in the middle of the lake should be his handicraft. The appearance of the white bones is enough to prove that the probability of the two people's conspiracy is infinitely close to zero, unless a third person appears in the future.
For now, Chen Yi is more willing to believe that Luo Bao is a love warrior who came to Yangcheng just to avenge Luo Ting.
Luo Bao's expression management is very good, and he did not find any flaws.
"Captain Chen, why are you asking about the jade pendant?" Seeing Chen Yi suddenly stop, Luo Bao took the initiative to ask.
Chen Yi did not answer, and said, "Where did Luo Ting go?"
Luo Bao shook his head: "I don't know, I haven't seen her for many years."
Chen Yi was quiet for a while, and said: "Luo Bao, I have a few words to say to you, listen carefully.
If you encounter injustice, if you are angry, I can provide help, don't do stupid things by yourself, those who make mistakes will definitely be punished, understand?"
He was worried that Luo Bao wanted to do it himself.
If you are waiting for an opportunity, then Zuo Qiu Anqing and Cui Hai's recognition is the opportunity.
Since Luo Ting was able to tell Zuo Qiu Anqing about the Cui family, she would definitely tell Luo Bao.
If Luo Bao knew about this, then once Zuo Qiu Anqing and the Cui family recognized each other, he would immediately lock Zuo Qiu Anqing as the murderer of Luo Ting.
If you really want revenge, it is possible at any time.
Chen Yi did not want to see the tragedy happen, and did not want to see an outstanding talent who rose from the countryside go to prison because of hatred.
Luo Bao seemed to understand, a little confused: "Ah? Oh... OK, OK, if I encounter injustice in the future, I will definitely ask Captain Chen for help, thank you Captain Chen."
Chen Yi: "..."
It's hard to tell whether it's fake or real.
Everything is still at the level of inference. No matter how big the inference is, it's just inference.
What else can we do? Send someone to monitor us every step of the way?
The most urgent thing is to figure out the logical relationship of all the events as soon as possible, interrogate those who should be interrogated, detain those who should be detained, and there is no rush to close the case.
Chen Yi judged that there is still a certain distance to close the case.
"Let's go."
"If you want to say something, call me anytime."
Chen Yi said goodbye and left the ramen shop.
Looking at Chen Yi's back, Luo Bao, who was sitting there, lowered his head slightly and picked up the cup in front of him to drink water.
The bangs blocked his eyes, and only a shadow could be seen.
...
When Chen Yi went home, Fang Shuyu was watching TV, "The Strange Stories of the Tang Dynasty", which has been very popular recently.
"I'm back." Fang Shuyu was eating potato chips. Seeing that Chen Yi was in a bad mood, she asked, "Is the investigation in Linyi Village not going well? No one knows the girl in the portrait?"
Chen Yi took off his clothes and changed his shoes and went to the living room. He fell on the sofa and rubbed his forehead with his right hand.
Fang Shuyu sat over, gently took Chen Yi's hand away, and put her slender fingers on it, kneading it gently.
Chen Yi closed his eyes and rested. Without waiting for Fang Shuyu to ask, he roughly told her what he had found in Linyi Village.
"So complicated?"
Fang Shuyu was very surprised. He didn't expect so many things to happen in a few days. Zuoqiu Anqing turned out to be Cui Hai's daughter?
Now it's better, there's no need to work hard anymore, let alone find a rich boyfriend.
She herself has become a rich person, achieving class leaps while lying down.
"What do you think? Tell me." Chen Yi asked Fang Shuyu for his opinion.
Women's thinking is still very different from men's, and it may provide some good inspiration.
Fang Shuyu thought about it seriously and said, "No one in this case is biological, and maybe Luo Ting is not the same? So the results of the DNA paternity test are different from your prediction, haven't you thought about it?"
Chen Yi: "I've thought about it, but I just think it's a bit ridiculous. Isn't this series of coincidences a bit too weird?"
Fang Shuyu rubbed Chen Yi's forehead and said, "Is it a coincidence? After listening to your story, I think everything is inevitable."
Chen Yi: "How to say it."
Fang Shuyu: "Why Luo Ting was given away for free shows that she was not trafficked to Linxian Village. The person who took Luo Ting away was not for money, but to keep Luo Ting away from fights and dangers. This is a kind of protection."
Chen Yi opened his eyes: "You must have watched too many TV series."
Fang Shuyu smiled: "The bloody TV series can also be used as a reference. Don't you think this case is as good as the TV series? Let's try another way. The reasoning has reached a dead end. Start the investigation from the beginning."
Chen Yi: "You mean Cui Hai's father-in-law and mother-in-law? I'm about to go see them. From the fact that Luo Ting gave it away for free, we can guess whether there are some problems with the Cui family and the Guo family.
In fact, they are the source of the entire case and the cause of all current results. "
Hearing this, Fang Shuyu knocked Chen Yi on the forehead and said angrily: "You already know the direction of the investigation clearly in your mind, and you still ask me, are you deliberately laughing at me?"
Chen Yi smiled and said: "Of course not, just chatting. If Luo Ting is really Cui Hai's daughter but not her biological child, do you think Cui Hai knows about it?"
Fang Shuyu said without hesitation: "I definitely don't know, otherwise how could I identify Zuoqiu Anqing through a DNA paternity test?
Why do you ask? "
Chen Yi was silent for a while and said, "Nothing, just watch TV."
…
The next morning, Yangcheng City Bureau.
Chen Yi did not go to see Cui Hai's father-in-law and mother-in-law immediately, nor did he go to see Cui Hai. There were two things to do before that.
First, the case of Cui Hai’s late wife Guo Meiqin falling off a cliff.
Second, Zuoqiu Anqing's boyfriend.
Thirty years have passed since the cliff-falling case. The Internet of Public Security Information Systems only started in the past ten years. Cases from thirty years ago may or may not be included in the network files.
It depends on the nature.
Major criminal cases will be manually uploaded online for permanent storage.
After searching, it was found that there was no case of Guo Meiqin falling off a cliff and dying in the information system. Chen Yi made several calls to various branches and confirmed that Guo Meiqin's case was currently being kept in the Hongzhong Branch archives.
At that time, Yangcheng was still in the preparation stage for district division, and Hongzhong District was established only in the second year after the case occurred.
Chen Yi first asked Zhou Yebin to send someone to find him immediately, and then drove there with Qin Fei.
When we arrived at the branch, we happened to find the file and put it on Zhou Yebin's desk.
"What case happened thirty years ago?"
In the office, Zhou Yebin handed the old file to Chen Yi and asked in surprise.
Chen Yi took it, opened it, and said while looking at it: "The Bone Case of Lake Center Island."
"Ah?" Zhou Yebin was surprised. He found it thirty years ago?
He asked: "Should we call the retired criminal policeman who was in charge of this case?"
Chen Yi: "No need, the file is already very detailed, but unfortunately there is no DNA."
Zhou Yebin said: "The DNA will not be preserved in the accidental death of the identity... What do you want the DNA for?"
Chen Yi: "It is currently suspected that the white bones appearing on the island in the center of the lake may be Guo Meiqin's daughter."
Zhou Yebin said: "Then you go find Guo Meiqin's husband. Isn't it the same for father and daughter to do a paternity test?"
"Stop asking, what do you know?" Chen Yi asked Zhou Yebin to be quiet.
Zhou Yebin: "..."
I thought to myself that if you were not a third-level police officer, I would definitely beat you.
Chen Yi ignored Zhou Yebin and quickly read through the file in his hand. The amount of information was very large.
Of course, the large amount of information was only for the current case, and there were many points for deliberation. Jiang Fanlei still knew too little from Cui Hai.
Back then, Guo Meiqin didn't go hiking alone. She went with friends, and they were male friends.
Both of these men fell off the cliff and died.
The police took it very seriously when two people fell off a cliff at the same time. It took more than two months to investigate the case, but in the end nothing was found and it was ruled an accident.
Assuming it was homicide, it would be difficult to find out.
Not to mention the lack of surveillance thirty years ago, even with Skynet coverage now, it is impossible to have surveillance cameras in the mountains.
You can only start with relationships and motivations.
The person the police suspected at that time was Cui Hai, because Guo Meiqin was Cui Hai's wife, and Guo Meiqin and the man who fell off the cliff together were suspected of having an underground relationship.
Cui Hai had the motive to kill Guo Meiqin and the two, but his alibi was very sufficient and there was no possibility of fraud.
Therefore, the suspicion was quickly eliminated.
"I didn't check the hired killer. I was careless."
Chen Yi put the file back.
Zhou Yebin put away the file and said: "The ability of criminal police officers to handle cases varies from high to low. You can't force it. The rate of unsolved cases thirty years ago was much higher than it is now."
Chen Yi nodded.
The human brain is always limited. The rapid development of modern criminal investigation technology has greatly increased the cost of crime for criminals. Once they do it, they can hardly escape.
"Any gains?" Zhou Yebin asked.
Chen Yi: "Well, yes, all the details can be figured out immediately, but it is hard to say whether the final conviction will be made. The time is too long and the evidence is scarce. If it is only interrogated... the probability of changing the confession is very high. I really admire this person. He is just causing trouble."
Zhou Yebin: "Who is it?"
Chen Yi took out a cigarette and lit it, saying: "The one who placed the bones on the lake island, if I guessed correctly, he kept the bones by his side after finding them and did not call the police. Otherwise, the police might get clues about the murderer, such as DNA or fingerprints, after a detailed investigation of the scene."
Zhou Yebin: "Then why did he let the bones reappear in the world today?"
Chen Yi: "Maybe the time has come... No more talking, I'll go to the Third Hospital and talk later."
After leaving the branch, Qin Fei drove Chen Yi to Yangcheng Third People's Hospital and sent additional personnel in advance. The two sides met at the hospital gate.
The identity of Zuoqiu Anqing's boyfriend has been found out. It is very easy to find out without any effort. It is consistent with the previous guess. This person is Lu Guangqing, the deputy chief physician of the genetics department of the Third Hospital.
He is basically responsible for paternity testing.
He is already 37 years old and still single.
No, not single, he is now Zuoqiu Anqing's boyfriend.
Lu Guangqing is on duty today. Many people come to register for consultation. Chen Yi and the police officers in police uniforms directly pass through the triage desk and come to the door of Lu Guangqing's department.
The nurse dared not stop him.
Chen Yi pushed the door and walked in without knocking.
There were only three people in the room, Lu Guangqing and a couple. The man looked depressed and the woman frowned and said nothing.
"Excuse me, please go out first." Qin Fei said.
The man was angry and cursed when he heard it: "Fuck, can you queue..."
Before he could say the word [queue], he saw the police in police uniforms behind Chen Yi and quickly shut up.
Chen Yi waved: "Go out first, the Criminal Investigation Brigade of the Municipal Bureau has something to ask Dr. Lu.
If there is doubt, there will be a crack. Even if the result of the paternity test is yours, can we still live together in the future?"
Criminal Investigation Brigade?
The man stood up quickly and said: "We have to... confirm it."
Chen Yi: "Then you should change a doctor. This Deputy Director Lu may have limited skills. Be careful of the wrong results."
Man: "Huh?"
Lu Guangqing, who was sitting there, changed his face when the police came in. At this moment, Chen Yi's words scared him even more.
Very timid.
It's good to be timid. It's easy to explain if you are timid.
There is no need for the couple to offend the police. They left first and didn't forget to close the door.
Chen Yi walked forward and sat down. His eyes were as calm as water. His sharp eyes penetrated the space and hit Lu Guangqing's heart. Before he spoke, the latter had already started to sweat.
"You...what's your name..."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yi interrupted: "Lu Guangqing, do you know why I'm looking for you? The problem is very serious. You will be treated leniently if you confess. You only have one chance. Just a reminder, this is not a simple paternity test, it involves a major murder case."
"Murder case?!" Lu Guangqing's face turned pale, "I don't know anything! She just asked me to change the test results! I don't know anything!"
Chen Yi said coldly: "Who!"
Lu Guangqing: "Zuo...Zuo Qiu Anqing."
Chen Yi: "Change the test results of who and who!"
Lu Guangqing: "The paternity test results of Zuo Qiu Anqing and her grandfather!"
Chen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly.
Paternity test?
Since Cui Hai did not do a paternity test, it means that he already knew that the wearer of the jade pendant was not his biological daughter.
Doing a paternity test means that he knew that the wearer of the jade pendant was his wife's daughter.
This case is complicated again, and we have to continue to dig deeper.
Now, as long as a kinship test is done on the bones on the lake island and the Guo couple, the identity of the bones and Luo Ting's life experience can be completely confirmed.
