Although he knew in his heart that there was a high probability that Liu Mingcheng was the deceased, looking at the anxiety and uneasiness on Ms. Pu's face, Xiao Ran could only hide it temporarily, "It's just that there are some things I want to know from Mr. Liu, but I am not sure for the time being, so don't think about it." ”

Hearing this, Ms. Pu's eagerness on her face lightened slightly, but she was still uneasy and said: "I'm always frightened these days, and I can't get through on the phone, and I always feel like something has happened to Lao Liu." - Alas, I've been worried since he was doing cross-country, I haven't understood what is fun about cross-country, the wilderness, the unfamiliar place, the injury has to drag on for a long time, and there are wild animals or something, I can't run away if I want to......"

Ms. Pu sighed and complained for a while, and was about to continue, but when she heard the door of the house 'squeak', a young couple walked in with a little boy of two or three years old.

"Mom, who parked the car in front of our house?"

The young man holding the child asked as soon as he entered the door, and then looked at Xiao Ran and the three of them who were looking at him together, and were stunned for a moment: "...... Yo, are there guests at home? This looks quite raw, I haven't seen it. ”

"Hello, we are from the Public Security Bureau. Xiao Ran got up and stretched out his hand.

Ms. Pu also stood aside and explained: "Yes, yes, it's a comrade from the Public Security Bureau, who came to find out something about your father, isn't it that your father has run away again!"

"Police?"

The young man frowned, hurriedly handed over the child to his wife, and shook hands with Xiao Ran, "What happened to me and my dad outside?

"Don't think about it, just know something. Xiao Ran said again.

"Oh, then sit down, we know everything to tell you. ...... Oh, by the way, the fruit I just bought is still in the car, I'll get it for you. The young man was very enthusiastic, beckoned Xiao Ran to sit down, and went to carry the fruit and wash it out for them to eat.

Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "Don't, don't bother, we are short of time, we have to go back quickly after we understand." ”

"You're welcome brother, how long does it take to eat a fruit? ”

The young man stuffed the washed apples into Xiao Ran's hands, sat down next to Ms. Pu and said, "What's going on here? My dad has always had a kind personality and basically doesn't blush with others." ”

Xiao Ran put the fruit in his hand back on the plate and said, "That's the case, when was the last time you saw or spoke to Mr. Liu Mingcheng on the phone?"

"He left home at the beginning of the month, it seems that he came on the 5th or 6th? Anyway, it was those two days, saying that he went to the city to participate in the competition with Xiao Fan, and he was quite happy when he left. ”

Ms. Pu recalled for a while, said: "After leaving at the beginning of the month, he didn't call home again, two days ago the store was going to buy, I had something to ask him, and the phone has not been able to get through. ”

"Two days ago, what was that day?" Xiao Ran stopped his pen and looked up and asked.

"This, I'll take a look at it...... Ms. Pu flipped through her mobile phone and looked at it, affirming: "The 17th, the morning of the 17th." ”

"Morning of the 17th?" Xiao Ran frowned slightly as he watched Yu Yu take a picture of Ms. Pu's call record.

It's been 5 days since the 17th, but at noon, He Liang called that Fan Zhengyong and learned that they were still in the game.

In 5 days, most cross-country races can't last so long, unless it's some professional extreme off-road, but like Liu Mingcheng, that is, an amateur senior enthusiast, he can't play at this age if he is too professional.

And since Fan Zhengyong is with Liu Mingcheng, he can get a call, why can't Liu Mingcheng receive a call, no matter how bad the signal is, Liu Mingcheng can always receive it once, right?

After calling Fan Zhengyong on the other two occasions, he did not get a reply from Liu Mingcheng himself, and what is even more suspicious is that since Liu Mingcheng is in the cross-country race in the city that he watched with Fan Zhengyong, why is there no Fan Zhengyong's name on the participant list?

What is Fan Zhengyong avoiding? Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, this Fan Zhengyong became more and more suspicious, and when he went back, he would immediately find Fan Zhengyong's information to see.

"What is the relationship between this Fan Zhengyong and Mr. Liu, and how did they meet?" Xiao Ran asked.

"He, he, like my dad, is an off-road enthusiast, he met in their interest group, and my dad is a year-old friend, my dad takes him with him wherever he goes, and he often comes to our house for dinner, a good person. Liu Mingcheng's son said.

"Fan Zhengyong is also from the county?" Xiao Ran asked.

Liu Mingcheng's son shook his head and said, "No, no, he is from the city, and he seems to be in the sports goods business." ”

"In Mr. Liu's circle of friends, there should be a photo of him and Fan Zhengyong, can you let me see it?" Xiao Ran said calmly.

"It seems that there is, I'll flip it for you. ”

Liu Mingcheng's son turned on his mobile phone, looked for it in his father's circle of friends for a while, clicked on a picture and handed the phone to Xiao Ran: "The one on the left is my father, and the one in gray clothes on the right is Fan Zhengyong." ”

Xiao Ran took the phone, and saw Fan Zhengyong's 26 or 7-year-old appearance in the group photo, with a long face and thick eyebrows, and a thick lower lip.

Fan Zhengyong on the photo has a bright smile, giving people a very sincere and reliable feeling, but the micro-expressions are Xiao Ran has studied hard, and he can see at a glance that in the depths of Fan Zhengyong's bent eyes, there is a little bit of hatred and disgust.

What's more, the Eye of Justice has quietly beaten to remind.

At this moment, Xiao Ran had basically decided in his heart that the deceased was Liu Mingcheng, the suspect, Fan Zhengyong!

However, he knew in his heart that his super-scientific methods could not be used as evidence in court after all.

Xiao Ran saved the photo and sent it to his mobile phone, and then handed the phone back to Liu Mingcheng's son, "The question I want to ask below may be a little difficult for you to answer, but please tell me truthfully." ”

"What's the matter, it's natural to cooperate with the police, you ask. Ms. Pu said.

Xiao Ran paused slightly, "I want to know, where did Mr. Liu find the substitute runners for his usual races, did he find it himself, or did someone contact him for him?"

"Substitute, substitute running, this, we don't know!"

Ms. Pu and Liu Mingcheng's son were both stunned when they heard this, looked at each other blankly, and said seriously: "You mean Lao Liu cheated in the competition? This is not right, Lao Liu has never done this." And he competes just to play, and he can't get any good results, everyone in their circle knows his level, and there is no point in him cheating. - But even if Lao Liu cheats in the competition, it's nothing, right, and you still need to investigate?"

"That's what I asked, and it doesn't matter if you don't know. Xiao Ran said, then asked a few more questions, and ended the questioning.

"Aunt Pu, the toothbrush and cup that Mr. Liu Mingcheng used before are still there, and they haven't been replaced, right? Yu Yu said.

"Yes, yes, I didn't change it, I'll get it for you. Ms. Pu said.

"Auntie, don't move, I want to come. Yu Yu stopped Ms. Pu, and then looked at Liu Mingcheng's son, "Mr. Liu, I still have to collect some of your blood samples." ”

"Oh, yes. Liu Mingcheng's son nodded and said.

Seeing that Yu Yu had done this, Xiao Ran asked Ms. Pu to take time to go to the bureau and ask for some more detailed information about Liu Mingcheng, and then said goodbye and returned to the city.

Now that the facts of the case are basically clear in Xiao Ran's heart, he feels that the distance is broken, and he is about to take the last kick!
