Chapter 158: Revisiting Luo Wenjie
Despite the incomparable disappointment in her heart, the well-educated Su Qian quickly regained her composure, at least on the surface.
Li Ye, who followed Su Qian's apology, said: "Officer Li, I'm sorry, I didn't control (qíng) Xu just now, which made you laugh!"
"Auntie, you don't need to tell me I'm sorry, it's us who really can't say sorry, then you won't be able to find any trace of your daughter. Li also said and bowed deeply to Su Qian.
Although Li is not responsible for Liang Yiru's case, Li also feels that he is also a police officer, and he owes the mother in front of him an apology for the disappearance of her daughter.
Hearing Li say the same, the tears in Su Qian's eyes could no longer be held back, and the bean-sized teardrops instantly burst out of her eyes.
"Xiaoqian, what's wrong with you? Who is here?" Su Qian's choked voice was heard in the room, and Liang Yiru's father, Liang Hui, also walked out at this time.
Like Su Qian, but only in his early fifties, Liang Hui's face was already as old as a sixty-seven-year-old man.
"It's okay!" Seeing her husband come out, Su Qian quickly wiped the tears on her face, shook her head and said.
Although Su Qian tried her best not to let her husband see that she had just cried, but a pair of red eyes could not deceive people, Liang Hui couldn't help frowning when he saw it, looked at Li Ye with an angry face, and asked angrily: "Who are you? What are you doing at our house?"
Seeing her husband's menacing appearance, Su Qian, who knew that her husband was irritable (xìng) and was afraid that he would have any conflict with Li Ye, so without waiting for Li Ye to speak, she hurriedly said to her husband: "Husband, he is Officer Li of the Investigation Section of the Special Management Bureau, and he is here to ......."
Su Qian suddenly paused in the middle of her words, because she suddenly found that Li Ye didn't seem to have said what he was here for.
"Oh, I'm here to ask you two a little bit about Liang Yiru's (qíng). Li also saw that Su Qian was halfway through the card, and hurriedly took the initiative to explain.
"Do you know what happened to Yiru (qíng??Did you find any clues about my daughter's disappearance?)" Liang Hui asked the same question as Su Qian before, but he was relatively more sensible.
Or that almost two years have passed, but there is still no news of his daughter, so Liang Hui no longer has much hope of finding his daughter.
"Sort of!" replied Li ambiguously.
"What is counted! Yes, yes, no, no, what's counted!"
Liang Hui was quite dissatisfied with Li Ye's answer, and Li was very understanding of this.
Although Li also knew that Liang Hui and his wife were very eager to hear about their daughter, even if it was not very good, Li still could not tell Liang Hui and his wife about his suspicions and investigation at this stage due to the rules.
Seeing that Li Ye showed embarrassment on his face, Su Qian, who was more knowledgeable (qíng) Dali, hurriedly pulled her husband Liang Hui's clothes, so that her husband should not speak so impulsively.
"Officer Li, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it first!" Su Qian then said to Li Ye.
"Come in and talk about it!" Liang Hui had always been obedient to his wife, so although he didn't have a very good wish, he still let the passage into the house.
Liang Hui's house is a simple three-bedroom apartment, and from the surface alone, the house is very clean and tidy.
This shows that Liang Hui and his wife are both very strong people, although their daughter has been missing for a long time, and the husband and wife are also very sad, but life still has to go on.
"Officer Li, water!" Su Qian handed the cup of tea she had just brewed in her hand to Li Ye, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Thank you!" Li also took the water cup and thanked him, but he didn't drink it and put it directly on the coffee table.
"Uncle and aunt, I'm here to ask some questions about Liang Yiru's situation before her disappearance!" Li also explained the reason for his visit.
"We have repeated these things many times with the police who came before, so why do you still ask? If you police officers have this leisure, why don't you help us go out and find my daughter." Liang Hui said angrily.
In the past case handling process, Li has also encountered a lot of family members of victims like Liang Hui, who are very disgruntled, so he does not care about Liang Hui's attitude.
On the contrary, Su Qian felt that her husband was a little too aggressive, so she quickly glared at Liang Hui and reprimanded in a low voice, "Okay, you don't have to say anything about it!"
"I'm right!" Liang Hui was still a little unconvinced, but then he didn't say anything more.
"Officer Li, you just asked us about Yiru's (qíng) situation before her disappearance! Actually, my daughter has been normal all the time before her disappearance, and there is nothing very special. Seeing that her husband Liang Hui no longer complained, Su Qian said to Li Ye.
"Auntie, did your daughter have any quarrels or other physical conflicts with anyone before she disappeared?
class. Lee also asked.
"No!" As soon as Li Ye finished speaking, Su Qian shook her head with great certainty, because since her daughter disappeared, Su Qian had been thinking about her daughter (qíng), and after thinking about it for so long, Su Qian didn't expect anyone to hurt her daughter.
"Did you tell your daughter where she was going after work on the day she disappeared?" asked Li Ye.
"She said it!"
"Oh!" Li Ye's eyes lit up, and he felt that the clue was coming.
"On the day of Yiru's disappearance, it happened to be her friend Luo Wenjie's birth (rì), so she told us that she would go to the cake shop after work to buy cakes and then help Luo Wenjie celebrate her birthday. Su Qian said to Li Ye while reminiscing.
Help Luo Wenjie live (rì)! It's Luo Wenjie again!
I don't know if it's a coincidence, or if Liang Yiru's disappearance is indeed related to Luo Wenjie, Li Ye visited one day today, and the frequency of Liang Yiru and Luo Wenjie being mentioned at the same time is really high.
"Auntie, have you told the police who came to investigate this matter?" asked Li Ye.
The police officer in charge of my daughter's case also went to Luo Wenjie, but then we got the reply that Luo Wenjie was no longer in China. Su Qian said helplessly.
"I think it was Luo Wenjie who kidnapped our daughter, so he deliberately went abroad to avoid the limelight. Liang Hui, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly interjected angrily beside him.
From Liang Hui's words, it is not difficult to hear that Liang Hui is very suspicious that Luo Wenjie kidnapped his daughter Liang Yiru, but obviously Liang Hui and the police in charge of investigating Liang Yiru's case do not know that Luo Wenjie has returned to China, otherwise they will definitely find him.
Knowing that Liang Yiru had said that he was going to live for Luo Wenjie before he disappeared, Li Ye immediately rushed to Luo's house without stopping after saying goodbye to Liang Hui and his wife.
Along the way, Li has also been thinking about the connection between Luo Wenjie and Liang Yiru's disappearance, or the connection between Luo Wenjie and the whole jiān murder case.
Although there is no evidence at this stage that Luo Wenjie is the murderer of the serial strong (jiān) murder case, assuming that Luo Wenjie is the murderer, then the fact that he has been abroad can explain why the murderer suddenly broke down after committing consecutive crimes, and only recently did he commit the crime again.
In addition, Liang Yiru has a lot in common with the victim, as well as the background (shēn) of Luo Wenjie's wealthy children, which is also very consistent with the characteristics of the murderer.
"Could it be that Luo Wenjie is really the murderer?" Li also secretly guessed in his heart.
However, although Li also had great doubts about Luo Wenjie, it was still too early to draw conclusions, at least until he met Luo Wenjie before he could make further judgments.
Li Ye's luck is very good, when he came to Luo's house, Luo Xudong happened to go out with his wife Yuan Danping, which saved Li also the trouble of dealing with Luo Xudong.
After Li also explained to the housekeeper that he wanted to see Luo Wenjie, the housekeeper quickly informed Luo Wenjie, although Luo Wenjie wondered why Li Ye came to visit suddenly, but after thinking about it, he finally agreed to Li Ye's request to meet.
"Officer Li, what are you looking for me?" Sitting at the long table in the hall, Luo Wenjie asked Li Ye with some doubts.
"Mr. Luo, that's the case, I'm here today for Liang Yiru's business (qíng). Li Ye didn't beat around the bush, and went straight to the point.
"Liang Yiru?" Luo Wenjie's watch (qíng) was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Officer Li, didn't I tell you before that I didn't know Liang Yiru well!"
"Really?" Li Ye glanced at Luo Wenjie with a meaningful look, and continued: "Mr. Luo, but what I heard from others is not like this! They all say that you and Liang Yiru are very close, and Liang Yiru has pursued you!"
"This ......" Luo Wenjie was speechless for a while.
"Mr. Luo, since I came to you, I must have done some investigation, so I hope you'd better tell the truth!" Li also lifted the glasses on the bridge of his nose and stared at Luo Wenjie with burning eyes.
"What do you mean, Officer Li, do you think Liang Yiru's disappearance has something to do with me?" Luo Wenjie frowned and asked very dissatisfied, Li Ye's tone made him sound very uncomfortable.
"Yes!" Lee nodded.
"What?" Li Ye actually expressed his suspicions without hesitation, which made Luo Wenjie feel quite surprised.
"Why do you doubt me?" Luo Wenjie Huo Ran stood up from his chair, showing great anger.
"Because you lied about Liang Yiru's matter (qíng)!" Facing Luo Wenjie's menacing questioning, Li was not stunned at all, and said with a faint smile.
looked at Li Ye, Luo Wen, who looked calm and calm in front of him, and looked like a bamboo (xiōng).
Jie's momentum fell in an instant, and after staring at Li Ye for a while, Luo Wenjie snorted coldly and sat back in his chair.
"I'm lying just because I don't want to get into unnecessary trouble. Luo Wenjie defended himself.
"That's right!" Li also nodded, but there was no committal in his tone.
And then Li Ye's question showed Luo Wenjie that his answer did not eliminate Li Ye's suspicion of him.
"Then I want to ask, what were you doing on the day of Liang Yiru's disappearance?"
"Are you interrogating me?" Luo Wenjie asked with a cold face, his expression becoming more and more somber.
"No, I'm just asking you about the situation, so you don't have to be too nervous. Li also shook his head and said.
"Since this is the case, I have the right to choose not to answer this question. Luo Wenjie pursed his lips and said contemptuously.
"Mr. Luo, I hope you will think clearly, now I am indeed asking you about the situation, but if necessary, I can also arraign you in accordance with the law, so if you don't want to talk to me to the Special Administration, it is best to cooperate with my investigation. Li also said to Luo Wenjie with a smile.
Li didn't hide the threat in his words at all, and this did have an effect, and Luo Wenjie was instigated immediately.
"I can't remember exactly what happened (qíng), but I just remember that day I took a break and went to the suburbs to collect wind. ”
"Have you been out all day, and what time are you going home in the afternoon?" asked Li Ye one after another.
"Yes, I was out all day that day, and I didn't go back until six or seven o'clock in the evening, and it might be almost ten o'clock when I got home!" Luo Wenjie nodded and replied.
"Can someone provide proof of your itinerary for the day?" asked Lee.
"No, I like to be quiet when I'm painting, so I was alone that day. Luo Wenjie replied.
Immediately, Luo Wenjie was afraid that because he couldn't find a time witness, which would deepen Li Ye's suspicions about himself, he hurriedly said: "But I'm alone, it doesn't mean anything (qíng), in short, I have nothing to do with Liang Yiru's disappearance." ”
Regarding Luo Wenjie's defense, Li also did not comment, and said: "Let's not talk about this matter first, I want to ask Mr. Luo another question, do you know that on the day of Liang Yiru's disappearance, he was originally here to celebrate your birthday (rì)." ”
"I know that Liang Yiru called me the night before. ”
Luo Wenjie did not hide that he knew that Liang Yiru was going to celebrate his birthday (rì), which surprised Li Ye.
"Now that you know, why did you go to the countryside the next day and come back so late? Li also asked with some puzzlement.
"Because I was deliberately avoiding her!"
"Why? Aren't you friends with Liang Yiru? You should be happy that your friend celebrates your birthday (rì)! Why avoid him. Luo Wenjie's answer made Li also feel even more confused.
"Because ......" Luo Wenjie glanced at Li Ye, as if he was a little hesitant, but in the end he explained: "Because Liang Yiru was pursuing me at that time, but I happened to know Xiaoyu, so I wanted to alienate the relationship between me and Liang Yiru." ”
When Luo Wenjie said this, he undoubtedly made it clear to Li Ye that he liked Han Ziyu, although Li Ye and Han Ziyu were only friends, but this still made Li Ye feel quite unhappy.
However, Li has always had a clear distinction between public and private, and now that he is investigating a case, he cannot bring his own private (qíng) into it.
So Li also said: "According to your meaning, you didn't see Liang Yiru that day!"
"Yes. Luo Wenjie nodded.
"Then on the phone call the day before, did Liang Yiru say where he planned to celebrate your birthday (rì)?"
She said in a western restaurant near my house. Luo Wenjie replied.
After that, Li also asked Luo Wenjie a few more questions, and according to Luo Wenjie's answer, Li was never sure whether Luo Wenjie had anything to do with Liang Yiru's disappearance.
Because Luo Wenjie doesn't seem to have a reason to hurt Liang Yiru, but at the same time, he can't find a time witness who can prove it.
"Mr. Luo, that's all for today's conversation! I'll contact you again if there's anything. In the end, seeing that he really couldn't ask anything, Li could only get up (shēn) to leave.
When Li Ye left the hall and walked on the corridor between the hall and the gate of the villa, thinking in his heart, he suddenly saw a person walking towards him, but it was Luo Wujie.
"Huh, Officer Li, are you here again?" Luo Wujie also saw Li Ye and asked in surprise.
"Well, I've got something to do with your brother!" Li also nodded absentmindedly.
