Criminal Investigation Notes - Chapter 123

Su Hui defeated Lan An’s line of defense. The matter has come to this point, and the conspiracy has been broken. But then, no matter what the police officers who came in asked, Lan An kept his head down, kept the same posture, and said nothing.

The officers have changed several rounds, but still haven’t asked for relevant information.

When Su Hui returned to the observation room, he suddenly thought of something. He narrowed his eyes, leaned forward, and blocked through the glass, trying to see more clearly: “What is she waiting for?”

Lu Junchi also reacted, Lan An pretended to cooperate with the police investigation before, but has not said a word until now, all to delay the time.

When Lan An faced those inquiries, she pursed her lips tightly, as if she hadn’t heard anything, but this expression just confirmed that Su Hui’s suspicion might be correct.

Su Hui thought for a moment and then said, “She may have notified someone…”

Lu Junchi frowned and recalled: “During this time, she didn’t call out… Did the news come from the painting workshop? Could it be those children…”

They detained some of the children in the workshop, many of which were found to be completely unrelated to the case, and have been released. Currently still in the General Administration, only related to Yu Keke and Dong Anchen.

The news of the sand painting workshop being investigated may be released along with those children.

Apart from this possibility, Lan An was under their surveillance all afternoon, and it was impossible for the painting workshop to be under the surveillance of the other party all the time.

So how is the message delivered?

Su Hui recalled all the details in the sand painting studio, and he suddenly remembered something: “Lan An once had a move, which is a bit strange when I think about it. When I was looking at the sand painting bottle in the window, she passed by. Opened the window and sorted out the sand painting bottles one by one.”

Speaking of this, Su Hui’s eyelashes moved slightly: “That may be a signal that she has an appointment with someone else.”

His vision was blurry. At that time, he could only see Lan An’s actions, but not the specific situation.

Looking back now, she probably moved the quicksand bottle and left a mark when he was unprepared.

Lu Jun said lately, “I’ll send someone to search her address right away…”

Lan An has just been arrested for a few hours. Although they have found Lan An’s residence, they have not yet applied for a search warrant.

Now the search is illegal, Lu Junchi decided to do special cases and apply to the leaders, otherwise the time may be too late.

Huadu, at five o’clock in the afternoon, Liu Yumei came back from grocery shopping. She passed by the sand painting workshop. There was no one in the brightly lit studio today, and Lan An didn’t know where she went.

She was a little strange and muttered softly.

Then Liu Yumei looked at the sand bottle placed in the window of the sand painting workshop.

She rubbed her eyes to make sure that she was not mistaken, the sand bottles changed positions, and the outermost row were all red sand bottles.

Liu Yumei’s heart began to pound, and she became a little nervous.

She walked quickly into the community, went downstairs and looked up. The light on the opposite door was also dimmed.

Liu Yumei thought for a while, then went home and put down the dishes. She didn’t bother to cook. After searching for a long time, she found two keys.

She is fifty-two years old, retired and living alone.

Liu Yumei didn’t live here before, and she moved here later. At that time, the money was not much, only enough to buy a second-hand house on the first floor. This building is in the corner of the community, with two bedrooms and one living room, and the smaller one is facing the outer wall.

The neighbor Lan An is a warm-hearted woman who often comes to see her with things.

Once, Liu Yumei had a heart attack in the middle of the night and was so uncomfortable she knocked on her neighbor’s door, but Lan An sent her to the hospital.

She owed Lan An a lot of favors and always wanted to pay it back, but Lan An had only one request for her.

She put two keys in their house, and said that if one day, she is suddenly not at home, please help her feed the dog in the house.

“Do you still have a dog at home?” Liu Yumei asked at that time, “Why haven’t I seen you walk?”

“My dog ​​can go to the toilet by himself, so it’s not too much trouble.” Lan An said with a smile.

Liu Yumei had never heard of a dog who could go to the toilet by himself.

“Anyway, Aunt Liu, if I don’t come back on time one day, I’ll leave it to you for my family affairs. This big key is for opening the door, and the small key is for opening the chain on the dog. You open the chain and it will It will be free. My dog ​​can’t help but be hungry, you have to come and feed it as soon as possible…” Lan An Qian urged.

“Okay, okay, then again, how come you can’t come back on time?” Liu Yumei felt that this request was strange, but Lan An had done so much for her, no matter how strange it was, it was only for her. With a little effort, although she answered with a full mouth, she couldn’t help but ask one more question.

“Hey, my phone’s battery is getting worse and worse now, and the children I take care of will always have various problems. If there are special circumstances and my phone is out of power, I’ll try to keep it for you. Let me give you some information…” Lan An said with a smile, “My shop is just outside the community, you’ve seen it before.”

“Yeah, I pass by every day to buy food.”

When Liu Yumei passed by there once, Lan An even greeted her.

“If I have something to do, the row of quicksand bottles outside the window will be replaced with red ones. When you see a row of red quicksand bottles, come and open the door with the key.”

Liu Yumei took the key and felt like she had taken on a sacred task: “Okay, don’t worry, I’ll take a look every day…”

“Thank you Aunt Liu.”

“Oh, no thanks, you’re welcome, it’s such a trivial matter, it’s much worse than what you helped me with.”

After finishing the memories, Liu Yumei opened the door opposite. The house was very clean and quiet.

Liu Yumei turned on the light and added her lips nervously, only then did she remember that she was afraid of dogs.

But Lan An had promised to do it for a long time. At this time, even if he had to bite the bullet, he would do it.

Maybe it’s just a puppy so you don’t have to go out for a walk.

Holding the little key, she thought to herself that if there was a fierce dog in there, she would put some food and run away. Or wait for the dog to fall asleep, and she let it go…

Liu Yumei stood at the door of the hut. She didn’t hear a dog bark since she came in. Maybe the dog was asleep.

Thinking of this, she took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to open the door.

With the light in the living room, she looked in, and she was stunned. There was no dog in it, and there was a person sitting by the window.

The man’s figure was tall and long, and his hair was loose and overgrown his shoulders. The light and dimness here made her unable to see the man’s appearance.

“Come here.” The man saw her coming in, as if he already knew everything, he said, “She will give you the key.”

Listening to that voice, it was a man, his voice was slightly magnetic, and there was a sense of bewitchment.

Liu Yumei was stupid. It turned out that the “dog” in Lan An’s mouth turned out to be a man…

And he’s a good looking man.

She thought about it and understood it. No wonder Lan An was so beautiful, but she never got married. She once said that she wanted to help Lan An introduce someone, but she declined.

But this man…why was he handcuffed at home?

The man was wearing a neck ring, and an iron chain was handcuffed around the man’s neck. The chain was very long, several meters in size. It seemed that he could walk to the bathroom on his own, but his range of movement was limited and he could not get out of the room.

“You can open it for me now.” The man said, raising the collar around his neck with his fingers.

Liu Yumei was still dazed. She felt a hint of danger. She felt that she should call the police or call Lan An to ask for more information, but she looked at the man in front of her and passed the key in her hand… …

Su Hui walked into the interrogation room for the second time. He lowered his head and faced Lan An who said nothing.

“The real fine sand should be a man, between twenty and thirty years old.”

“You are willing to protect him, maybe he is your relative, or… do you like him?”

“We checked your family’s information, and there is no one else in the family, so how did he live with you? Foster care? He is also a miner’s child? Something happened to his family?”

When Su Hui said this, Lan An clenched his fingers nervously.

“He may have learned to make bombs with your father. At first you thought it was a hobby, but later, you found out that he was trying to kill…”

“You already knew that he was Xisha, and you already prepared this set of rhetoric.”

“Xisha didn’t continue to commit the crime, maybe because in the past two years, he had an accident, was injured, or you found an opportunity to lock him up…”

“But you still can’t let him go. You are ready. If something happens, you will help him take the blame…”

Su Hui said one sentence at a time, some questions, some affirmations, his cane touched the ground and made a slight echo.

He doesn’t speak very fast, and each item is deduced from some actual evidence.

According to the data, the mine where Lan An’s father Lan Ziwen worked had a mining accident 18 years ago. At that time, five people were confirmed dead and three were missing. The police have checked the list of the deceased. He judged that the man may be one of the orphans. They have suspicions, but it will take time to verify.

Lan An opened his eyes and looked at Su Hui. Who is this person in front of him? the police? …

Why every word he said was true…

Her body trembled into a ball, sweat kept pouring out of her forehead, and her face became even paler.

Lu Junchi even suspected that the woman in front of him might faint in the interrogation room.

Su Hui continued to put pressure on him, and he hoped that Lan An would let go sooner.

But he also clearly understood that his words might not be able to match Lan An’s feelings for that person.

“In your original plan, when you were caught, you would let him go free… But… if you do this, you won’t get his gratitude, but it will make things worse…”

When Su Hui said this, he turned his head slightly, and decided to take the next powerful medicine.

“He should know that you are willing to take the blame for him. If you are sitting here today, it means that he has abandoned you.”

Lan An raised his head and looked at him with complicated eyes, as if begging him to stop talking.

“How did he get in touch with Dong Anchen? Maybe it was a window, maybe a gap, enough for them to talk and pass information… He catalyzed the desire in Dong Anchen’s heart and asked him to help him kill… Now some people are asking Dong Anchen. , even if you don’t say it, he will confess it sooner or later.”

In fact, during Dong Anchen’s questioning process, the police encountered a bottleneck, and the boy did not speak clearly. His account of many issues is also topsy-turvy.

Lan An is the one who can bring them closer to the answer.

After Su Hui said this, Lan An’s fingers moved slightly again.

Su Hui added: “If you let him go now, he will be a hundred times, a thousand times more ruthless than two years ago, and more people will die…”

Lan An finally spoke, she opened her eyes and her lips trembled: “No…no…”

She uttered these words as if she had exhausted all her strength.

As time went by, Lan An was also a little anxious and a little uneasy.

Up to now, she still has a glimmer of hope, hoping that person can be safe, escape the catastrophe, and make a change.

Su Hui frowned, it wasn’t enough, the weight wasn’t enough, just based on these, she might not confess the truth…

Just as he was talking about this, Lu Junchi’s cell phone suddenly rang. He turned around and went out, answered a call, and came back two minutes later.

“Lan An, we found the body of an elderly woman and an opened chain in your home. The deceased is the neighbor who lives opposite your house, Liu Yumei! You must tell me now, who is that person?! “

The police were still a step too late. When they entered, the house was already empty, and they failed to prevent new tragedies from happening.

“Liu Yumei is dead?” Lan An’s eyes suddenly widened after hearing the news, “She… how did she die?”

“Suffocated to death!” Lu Junchi’s tone was filled with anger, Liu Yumei was strangled to death, what kind of beast, even an old man would not let go.

“He also stole Liu Yumei’s mobile phone, money and ID card.”

How can it be? !

She… She just asked Liu Yumei to help him let go.

But why did he kill her? !

Lan An’s eyes were wet.

She thought that two years of captivity would flatten the man’s temperament, but now it seems that she is the farmer who carried the poisonous snake in his arms.

Her father adopted him, and they grew up as childhood sweethearts, but in the end, they only got this result…

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her chapped lips moved: “He… he is my father’s adopted child, called Song Lanen.”

Lan En was the name her father gave him, and Song was his original surname.

He has lived with her since his father died in a mine accident when he was eight and his mother died of a heart attack.

She trapped the demon for two years.

Lan An covered her face and cried bitterly.

Now, he is finally free, and she has become an accomplice to the abuse…
