Chapter 3717 Trap
"Myna seems to like you very much."
Sister Qing looked at the starling that was circling around Luo Qiu and asking for a touch with some surprise... Logically speaking, Pomeranians are the more shy type.
Luo Qiu tickled the starling's chin, "Maybe I'm more compatible with pet-type people."
Sister Qing smiled and said nothing. This younger brother was indeed mysterious in every way... It has been confirmed that he is the type who can easily attract girls.
"What would you like to drink?" Sister Qing said casually, "But I don't have as many choices as you do in your office... Do you like Shancha?"
"Camellia?"
"White Bamboo Mountain Tea." Sister Qing took out a tea can from the cupboard. "It was sent from my hometown. It tastes pretty good. Want to try it?"
"Sure." Luo Qiu nodded. "Miss Chen is from southern Yunnan?"
Sister Qing’s technique of brewing tea is very beautiful. She kneels on the cushion, and the tea soup is clear and so is she. “Chuxiong is a small county town in the country. Locals make a living by growing and picking tea. It can be said that some people have been dealing with tea all their lives from birth to death.”
Luo Qiu took a sip of the white bamboo mountain tea handed to him by Sister Qing, "Is it the same at home?"
"As far back as I can remember, I started learning how to plant and pick tea leaves." Sister Qing propped up her chin, "Even when I received the college admission letter, I was still working in the tea fields."
She closed her eyes and recalled, "I remember that day, the sun was very hot, like red charcoal in a stove, my throat was very dry, and my clothes were all wet... Occasionally there would be a gust of wind, and the leaves would rustle."
“That sounds pretty good.”
Sister Qing opened her eyes and looked at me. "I can tell from the looks of it that you have never experienced hardship in life. I have no other choice but to try to have fun in the midst of hardship. You youngsters are just trying to endure hardship without any effort. If you were really asked to work in the fields, your delicate skin and tender flesh would be tanned in half a day."
"Do you hate your previous life?" Luo Qiu thought for a moment and said.
"I used to hate it." Sister Qing held the starling in her arms and stroked it gently, "Sometimes I hate it, and sometimes I miss it. People are inherently fragile. When they are naive, they yearn for the colorful world, but after floating in the colorful world for a long time, they want a simple life again."
Luo Qiu said: "Have you ever regretted leaving that place?"
"At least I won't regret this." Sister Qing shrugged. "If I don't leave, what can I do in my hometown? I can get married, have children, and look after the tea fields. Then I can watch my children get married and grow up, and look after the tea fields... When you come to travel, you see the blooming flowers in the mountains, but for us who live there, our daily lives are filled with trivialities, mud, and mosquitoes."
Luo Qiu nodded, "So you are really grateful to Cao Zijian. She completely changed your life."
"It's a pity that it's too short." Sister Qing said sadly, "I thought that as long as I worked hard enough, I would be able to completely transform myself to the point where Lao Cao would be obsessed with me... But now, I can only say that time is running out for me."
"In fact, you are already very charming now." Luo Qiu praised.
Sister Qing chuckled. The charm of a mature woman was like heated cloves, and the fragrance was fully aroused. "But this kind of charm is actually cultivated by others... Of course, except for temperament and other things that are acquired, I am also pure natural from head to toe."
Luo Qiu took a look.
Sister Qing’s sitting posture became more and more graceful.
Luo Qiu suddenly said: "By the way, Miss Chen, I should report my work to you."
"Ah?" Sister Qing was stunned when she heard this. "Report?"
Luo Qiu smiled and said, "You are my client. My goal is to clear Miss Su Xiaozhen of suspicion, so I will naturally tell you some of my findings during my work."
"Well..." Sister Qing nodded, "Okay, tell me about it."
Luo Qiu took out a small sealed bag from his pocket, which contained a memory card and a pill.
Sister Qing's eyes narrowed slightly, "What is this?"
"I found this in Chen Lu's car." Luo Qiu said calmly: "The pills are contraband, but I don't know if Chen Lu has the habit of taking them. As for this memory card, Miss Chen, do you want to take a look at the contents inside?"
Sister Qing looked serious and thought for a moment before saying, "Have you told the police about these findings?"
Luo Qiu said: "Looking for things from Chen Lu's car, my behavior is actually illegal."
Sister Qing thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, I'll get the notebook out."
……
……
……
……
In the police station, the office of the Second Brigade was brightly lit and documents were flying everywhere.
On the screen, a pickup truck was slowly driving out of the mall garage.
"That's it, Liuling!" Guo Hongfeng stood in front of the computer screen and told Wangzi, "Immediately check the route of this car and who the owner is."
"Fuck, who would have thought that this little junky car was loaded with 50 million gold!" Wangzi finished a can of Dali Niu in one breath and started to work at full power, "Hey, the driver seems to have thrown something."
In the video, an arm stretched out from the car and threw something directly into the green belt on the side.
"Record this location and ask someone to go look for it and find out what was thrown." Captain Guo said quickly.
A female team member... Hua Nu came over quickly at this time, "Captain, I have contacted the other two private detectives. They admitted that they had received a commission to investigate Chen Lu, Su Xiaozhen, and He Jiabao a long time ago. The description of the client is the same as the one you caught before, also a woman of medium build who was covered with makeup. She only appeared once, and they usually contacted by email."
Guo Hongfeng glanced at the information sent by Hua Nu and frowned, "Paid? How was the reward paid?"
"Cash mailed." The Chinese woman said helplessly: "This Chen Yuan is very careful. He always mails cash... I guess it's probably not sent from the same place."
"The earliest commission was half a year ago..." Guo Hongfeng pondered, "It was really deliberate."
"Captain, there's news!" another team member said in a deep voice, "It turns out that Chen Yuan bought a long-distance bus ticket to Sichuan City, and the time is twelve o'clock tonight... Uh, the bus has already left, and it's been two or three hours."
"Chuancheng?" The Chinese girl was stunned. "What is she going there for? Isn't Chen Yuan a local? I remember her ancestral home is in the north..."
Wangzi suddenly said, "Captain, the direction the Liuling truck is heading... seems to be the Shinan bus station!"
"What a coincidence..." Hua was stunned. "Could it be that the person driving the car is Chen Yuan... She is the one who blackmailed Wen Ye and his wife?"
The team member who found out that Chen Yuan bought the bus ticket thought for a moment and said, "It's not impossible. Look... Chen Yuan's home is so strangely decorated, and we have also investigated a lot of information about Su Xiaozhen, He Jiabao, and Chen Keqing."
"Then how did she get the dirty information on Wen Ye?" The Chinese woman shook her head. "Logically speaking, Chen Yuan and Wen Ye and his wife should have no connection at all."
"It's not that there is no intersection." Mr. Guo thought for a while and said, "Cao Zijian's [Huamei] company and Wen Ye's company had money laundering activities. At that time, Chen Lu was the financial manager of [Huamei] company... Let's make a bold assumption that Chen Yuan may have obtained this black material from Chen Lu through some means."
"What the hell? This Chen Yuan is a genius. He blackmailed Yuli to transfer our transfer power while secretly contacting Wen Ye to ask for gold... and he actually succeeded!" Wangzi took a breath of cold air. "It's outrageous! Wen Ye and his wife are successful people. How could they fall for it?"
Ms. Hua shrugged and said, "What's so strange about that? Wen Ye and Yu Li don't get along. They've already agreed to divorce... I found out that Wen Ye actually has two illegitimate children outside, and he's been extremely disappointed with Wen Shaofeng for a long time. Just think about it, if the fact that Wen Shaofeng killed He Jiabao was exposed, Wen Shaofeng would probably not be able to get anything from Wen Ye! As the legal wife, Yu Li certainly didn't want her child's things to be taken away by the child of a wild woman outside. I think it's normal for her to hide it from Wen Ye."
"That makes sense." Wangzi shook his head. "It seems that the only thing left for rich families is scheming... Captain, what should we do now?"
Guo Hongfeng said: "Contact the bus station immediately, determine the route of the bus, and notify the traffic police along the way to stop it first! Wangzi, you continue to chase the Liuling car to see if it really drives into the bus station!"
"immediately!"
……
"Lao Zhang, is it okay to interrogate?"
After walking out of the office, Guo Hongfeng quickly came to the meeting room nearby... This place was temporarily borrowed for the economic investigation team to work.
"Huamei helped Wen Ye to falsify accounts. The evidence of money laundering is very clear, and Wen Ye has nothing to deny." Lao Zhang lit a cigarette. "My people have raided Wen Ye's company to search for information. Now we have to see how big this fish is."
Guo Hongfeng frowned and said, "It seems like you have been investigating Wen Ye for a long time?"
"I have been keeping an eye on it for a long time." Old Zhang said, "But Wen Ye is an old fox, and I have never found any actual evidence... This time, the account book of Huamei Company is a major breakthrough."
Mr. Guo suddenly asked: "When did you receive this material?"
Lao Zhang said, "I was just about to tell you about this. I received an anonymous email at around 10 o'clock at night, and it even mentioned that Wen Ye was with you. Otherwise, how would I know to contact you first... Lao Guo, could it be that you secretly slipped this information to me? I heard that the murder victim Chen Lu, who you are investigating, is the former financial manager of [Hua Mei]? So the account book was accidentally discovered during your investigation?"
"Really not..." Mr. Guo shook his head and then said, "But I did find this fake account material and was planning to hand it over to you, but someone got there before me."
"Not you?" Lao Zhang said in astonishment, "That's weird. Since it was sent to you, why did they send another copy to us? It's redundant."
Guo Hongfeng thought for a moment and said, "There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that the materials were sent by two different people. Another possibility is that it was for insurance purposes."
"Insurance?"
"Make sure Wen Ye and his wife are taken away tonight!"
"Hmm..." Lao Zhang nodded, thought for a moment and said, "I have already asked Wen Ye about this. He is in a very bad mental state at the moment. If you want to interrogate him, now is a good time."
"Captain, come in and take a look, we have found something!" Wangzai ran out of the office.
……
On the surveillance camera, the marked Liuling quickly drove into the parking lot of the bus station... Then a woman in casual clothes and a hat was seen dragging a very thick suitcase out of the car.
The suitcase looks very heavy.
Everyone stared at the screen, and Guo SIR said in a deep voice: "Issue a wanted notice for Chen Yuan immediately!"
"Captain...wait a minute!" The Chinese woman at the workstation suddenly said, "I just found out that Chen Yuan didn't have a ticket to enter the station...she didn't get on the train!"
"Not up?" Mr. Guo was stunned.
"Yes, I've confirmed it. I contacted the driver of that shift and asked on the bus, but there's no one named Chen Yuan..." The Chinese woman looked helpless.
"She didn't get on the car...where did she go?" Guo Hongfeng scratched his hair subconsciously.
"Could it be that he got on a bus that doesn't enter the station?" Lao Zhang said suddenly, "The bus station has a lot of people. Some buses with fixed routes will pick up some individual passengers outside after leaving the station, and then buy tickets after getting on the bus."
"Is there such a thing?" Wangzai was surprised.
Lao Zhang shrugged and said, "The bus stations in the 1990s were even more chaotic. Think about it, your generation is the happiest."
"Let's go to the bus station." Guo SIR said in a deep voice, "There should be surveillance there, maybe we can see where Chen Yuan went."
……
……
……
……
"This is... Lao Cao's company's account... It even includes Yun Palace's account?" Sister Qing looked at the file form on the screen very carefully. "It turns out that Huamei is really helping the Wen family to launder money... From this point of view, it is not unfair for Wen Ye and his wife to be arrested!"
"You don't seem to know the transaction between Huamei and Wen's?" Luo Qiu asked curiously.
Sister Qing shook her head. "Old Cao rarely tells me about Huamei. It's enough for me to help him run Yun Palace... And, to be honest, Huamei is Chen Lu's territory. Why would I bother her for no reason?"
"Then do you know why Cao Zijian went bankrupt?"
Sister Qing sighed, "Because of the broken capital chain, he took a sum of money from the company and invested it privately in the stock market. He was too confident, like a person on the rise, that kind of confidence was almost fanatical. However, in the real capital market, Lao Cao is actually just a relatively big fish."
"I see..." Luo Qiu nodded, "His failure also broke the filter he had on you, right?"
Sister Qing was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly, "What kind of filter is this? There is no such thing as an undefeated legend in this world... People will always lose to life and fate. No one can win all the time."
"Ms. Chen, you are very sober." Luo Qiu smiled slightly.
Sister Qing sighed, thought for a moment and said, "You should put these things back quietly, so that no one can find them and avoid getting yourself into trouble... I don't think this thing will be of any help to Xiao Su."
Luo Qiu said: "In fact, the police have been looking for the motive for killing Chen Lu. Xiao Su and Chen Lu had no intersection, so she had no reason to commit the crime... I wonder if this material could be the reason for the real murderer?"
Sister Qing hesitated and said, "Then... should we tell Captain Guo?"
"I've already told him." Luo Qiu suddenly said, "It was the night before yesterday... If I'm not mistaken, this is probably why he came to see you so early yesterday morning."
"!!!!" Sister Qing couldn't help but widen her eyes, looking incredulous, "No, wasn't it me who hired you? Who are you helping?!"
"I sent it anonymously." Luo Qiu said, "Besides, I think you concealed the relationship between Chen Lu and you. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for you. As an employer, I think I need to protect your interests."
"You could have discussed this with me beforehand!" Sister Qing said angrily, "While I was talking, Captain Guo suddenly came to me and really scared me... Little brother, I now doubt whether you are a professional. How could you cause such a big mess?"
Luo Qiu suddenly asked: "Ms. Chen, what do you think is considered professional?"
"It must be..." Sister Qing opened her mouth and then sighed, "Forget it, it's useless to talk about it now. But you really need to deal with these things quickly, and it's best to put them back to their original places... You should be okay, right?"
Luo Qiu nodded and said, "Of course, I said that this is most likely the murderer's motive... It would be a pity if this motive was not discovered because of the disappearance of this memory card."
"That's good to know." Sister Qing rolled her eyes unhappily, "Then why don't you go!"
"Indeed." Luo Qiu nodded, "Ms. Chen, don't worry, I'm very professional, and now is a good time to do something illegal... Then, I'll take my leave as well."
Sister Qing looked helpless, but still stood up and sent Luo Qiu out the door.
Just as he was about to open the door, Luo Qiu suddenly said, "Actually, I feel like there are so many photos posted on the closet in Chen Yuan's room...it seems like there's one person missing."
"Who?" Sister Qing's voice was very calm.
Luo Qiu slowly turned his head, but did not continue talking. He just chuckled and said, "No need to see me off. Go to bed early."
Sister Qing remained silent.
The door closed slowly, and it was not until she heard the closing sound of the elevator door outside that Sister Qing slowly let out a long breath. She lowered her head and looked at the palm of her hand.
It turned out to be an ice pick...
……
……
Shinan, bus station.
In the early hours of the morning, the wandering people were dozing off in the waiting room...In the monitoring room of the bus station, Captain Guo was staring at the video recording of that night.
"That's her!" Guo Hongfeng pointed at a woman pushing a thick black suitcase on the screen, "Look where she ended up!"
The screens kept switching, and finally the woman walked out of the outer door of the bus station dragging her suitcase.
"Captain Guo, we can't do anything about the video footage outside." The security captain of the bus station shook his head and said, "But if this person wants to get on the bus, he should take the fare-supplementing bus."
"Where do these fare-supplementing vehicles usually go?"
"That's hard to say." The security captain said, "There are many places, towns in the north and west... They are all relatively remote. There are also some in the Wan District, such as Yucheng, Hailufeng, etc..."
"Fishing town?" Captain Guo frowned subconsciously.
"Captain, what happened in Yucheng?" Wangzi asked curiously.
Guo Hongfeng pondered and said, "I remember Chen Keqing said that Chen Yuan liked gambling very much and often went in and out of the casino in Haojiang. He was even detained once, and it was Cao Zijian who went there personally to bring him back."
Wangzi subconsciously said: "So, she is likely to go to Yucheng first, and then cross the Haojiang River... Is she trying to escape from the Haojiang River?!"
Guo Hongfeng glanced at his watch. "It would be terrible if that's the case. It takes at most three hours to get to Yucheng from here. If she got on the bus around twelve o'clock, she must have gotten off in Yucheng by now, or even gone to Haojiang overnight!"
"Captain, this is just a guess..." Wangzi thought for a moment and said, "Let's first confirm which car Chen Yuan got on?"
The phone rings.
It was a call from Hua.
"Captain, please come to the parking lot. We found something on the Liuling car..."
……
"What did you find?"
Guo Hongfeng walked hurriedly into the bus station parking lot.
"Captain, there is no driving record in the car." The car door was already open, and the Chinese woman pointed to the back seat and said, "Look for yourself... There is a box of electric batons here. I suspect Chen Yuan is carrying an offensive weapon... Also, I have asked someone to come over to take fingerprints. I should be able to verify the identity of the driver soon."
Just at this time.
"Captain, we found something thrown out by the Liuling car on the side of the road..." A phone call came in, "It's a cell phone... It looks like the one He Jiabao had!"
