Chapter 4: Bad News Strikes
Li Yaozhan felt that he was chilling all over, and originally thought that his girlfriend didn't answer the phone just because he was having trouble with himself, but the phone turned off twice a day made him feel very happy in his heart. As long as you press the phone like a task, listen to the prompt sound that reminds you that the user you are dialing has been turned off, let him feel that he has completed his due obligations, and then just wait to go back and coax it, take out the call record as evidence, and then match it with gifts and flowers, these students who have not yet graduated eat this set the most.
However, Li Yaozhan didn't expect to dial the phone again and hear the news of his girlfriend's death.
People's feelings are so strange, before getting off the plane, Li Yaozhan was still rejoicing for the loss of contact in the past few days, feeling that this was God's help for the important and busy week he had just passed, and at this moment, the vines of guilt and remorse grew wildly in his heart. If it was Ma Wen's angry scolding and the ultimatum to break up on the phone, a veteran playboy like Li Yaozhan might give up saving this relationship and quickly devote himself to the next hunting operation, but the last time Ma Wen talked to him about his fears and uneasiness on the phone, and finally hung up the phone obediently in his impatient tone, and at this moment the news of Ma Wen's death suddenly turned into a shackle of responsibility and chagrin pressed on Li Yaozhan's heart.
"Comrade, are you alright?" Sensing Li Yaozhan's silence, the criminal policeman asked
"Oh oh me, I'm fine"
"What do you call it?"
"My surname is Li, Li Yaozhan"
"Mr. Li, is this your mobile phone number? Can you cooperate with our investigation in a moment? ”
"No problem, I'll rush to the police station now"
"Well, thank you very much for your cooperation" Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard that Li Yaozhan had agreed to cooperate with the investigation, they had just received news from the second team, and the guardian of the deceased who stayed at the school could not get through at all, and the deceased's mother was out of town and knew nothing about her daughter's recent situation. The deceased's boyfriend, who took the initiative to bump into him, is the only clue. Yu Qian patted the shoulder of the police officer next to him and whispered a few words, turned around and walked out of the scene, the rest of the work is simply on-site protection and evidence collection, Yu Qian plans to go back to the police station in advance and meet this Li Yaozhan first.
Here Li Yaozhan hurriedly hung up the phone, opened the navigation and drove to the police station, all the way to the soul, now that he thinks about it, he always feels that the phone call that night is not so simple. He understands his girlfriend, unlike his previous girlfriends, Ma Wen is not a clingy girl, she always keeps a distance from others, this moment is entangled with him, and the next moment he gets up to go back to his rental house for the night, making Li Yaozhan feel like a peacock that can't be caught.
Li Yaozhan has also heard Ma Wen describe her parents and family in a tone of indifference with a faint mockery, she is arrogant like a princess who has fallen to the bottom, but she refuses to bow her head, and the phone call in the early hours of that morning is not the tone that Ma Wen should have.
"Damn, how was I still in the mood to sleep at that time!" Li Yaozhan slapped the steering wheel irritably, and the sudden honking of the car whistle startled passers-by.
Men are always in the habit of showing their unwillingness and remorse through incompetent rage when the event is irreparable, and then make the same mistake the next time.
Yu Qian returned to the police station and looked at the relevant information of Ma Wen transferred by the household registration department, and soon Ma Wen's father attracted his attention, not any particularly peculiar records, on the contrary, according to the record, when Ma Wen graduated at the age of 18, her parents divorced because of emotional discord, Ma Wen clearly sentenced her father, but this man seemed to have evaporated from the world, and never left any relevant records in his daughter's next life.
"A work-obsessed father?" Yu Qian pondered for a moment and connected the phone in the archives: "Today's father of the deceased Ma Wen, Ma Yuan, help me check this person's information, and I'll let Xiao Wang get it later."
After hanging up the phone, Yu Qian studied the relevant records about Ma Yuan before Ma Wen was eighteen years old, and a strong premonition hit his heart, this man who left his daughter with an unreachable guardian phone number, what special connection does this case have...
When Li Yaozhan arrived at the police station, he had calmed down, and after explaining the situation to the policewoman on duty at the information desk, he was politely taken to a small room, and the policewoman poured him a glass of water and told him to wait and go out. Li Yaozhan rubbed the disposable paper cup, and began to think about what the police would ask him for a while, how to answer, sitting alone in this blue and white room with almost no decoration, he began to be scared again, speaking of which Ma Wen can only be regarded as one of his many emotional experiences, at most it gives him a special feeling, today he even got off the plane today and was even ready to break up if it was too difficult to repair the relationship, who knew that he suddenly heard the bad news and came to the police station impulsively, he obviously just got off the plane, if there was no accident, At this time, I should have eaten a full meal and soaked in the bathtub and drank beer.
But he also knew that he might be the only person Ma Wen in the city who was close to her, leaving aside her nowhere to be found, her remarried mother was half a China away from her. If you leave it alone...
A brief knock on the door interrupted Li Yaozhan's thoughts, and before he could respond, a stout man in civilian clothes pushed the door open and walked in, sat down on the bench opposite, and spread a black notebook on the table
"Are you the deceased's boyfriend, Mr. Li Yaozhan?" The man stared at Li Yaozhan with crossed hands and asked
"I am, I am," Li Yaozhan agreed, looking at the man generally. He looks like he is about 40 years old, with a short and stiff head, a pair of thick eyebrows, a bright gaze, a sharp chin like a split, thin lips, and rough skin full of the wind and sand smell of outdoor workers. The whole person seemed to be carved out of granite with an axe, and the whole body was covered with strong lines, and Li Yaozhan felt that his eyes were about to be hurt by the cold and hard feeling when he stared at him for a while.
"My name is Yu Qian, and I am the police officer in charge of Ma Wen's case," the man stretched out his hand to Li Yaozhan
"Fortunately, fortunately" Li Yaozhan hurriedly reached out and held it, and his hand was rough and hard, making him uncomfortable for a while when he was used to holding the warm fragrant nephrite
"Huh?" Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that Li Yaozhan would pop out a sentence of "fortunate meeting" at this time, before coming in, he quietly observed this white young man with a famous brand outside the window, although he could feel that he was not heartbroken, but at this time his emotional assessment of Li Yaozhan and the deceased was lowered by a notch
"Officer, can I ask my girlfriend what happened?" Li Yaozhan finally found an opportunity and asked the question he wanted to ask the most along the way
"We received a report this morning, and when we arrived, we found that the deceased was suspected of having died unexpectedly in a rental house" Yu Qian simply took the case and immediately said, "There is a lack of information now, we are still investigating the case, since you are the deceased's boyfriend, we hope you can cooperate with the investigation and give an explanation to the family of the deceased as soon as possible."
"If there is anything you need, I will definitely cooperate," Li Yaozhan hurriedly replied
"Thank you for your understanding, I would like to ask if the deceased refused to answer your call on the phone before his death, and you had a quarrel one morning? We have checked the call records of the deceased's phone, and your phone at 4 a.m. on Friday was the last call of the deceased, may I ask what you talked about? What was abnormal about the deceased at that time? Did you notice anything out of the ordinary? ”
"Uh... Wenwen called me and said that she had a nightmare" Li Yaozhan wanted to inquire more about the case, but under Yu Qian's gaze, Li Yaozhan swallowed back the words that came to his lips and answered Yu Qian's question honestly. I secretly thought in my heart that I would not be in a hurry first, and it would not be too late for the police to ask me slowly.
"Nightmare? What nightmare? Did she tell you what the content was? Yu Qian asked curiously
"No, no, ah, she originally wanted to say it, but I..." Li Yaozhan was a little embarrassed and stammered to explain, "I was on a business trip in H City at the time. I'm about to get up early to go to a meeting and look at the product samples, and I hung up without chatting a few words, but Wenwen wasn't angry at that time, and she spoke normally, and I found out that she was turned off the next day before I thought she was angry" Li Yaozhan wanted to work hard to prove that there was nothing wrong with this phone call
"Haven't made it since?"
"Then I got through when I got off the plane today, and it was your people who answered the call," Li Yaozhan replied cautiously
Yu Qian fell into deep thought, the mobile phone found at the scene was still plugged into the charging cable, maybe the deceased only charged the mobile phone this morning? If you really didn't have an awkward relationship with your boyfriend, why didn't you turn it on?
"That, officer..."
"Oh, we'll get back to the telecom department to get the chat logs. By the way, did Ma Wen talk to you about her family situation before she died? We tried to contact her father today, but the number registered with the school guardian was down, and we contacted Ma Wen's mother, who seemed to know nothing about the deceased's current situation. ”
"I know something about Wenwen's family situation" Li Yaozhan secretly smacked his tongue at the police's quick action and actually contacted Ma Wen's mother so quickly "Actually, Wenwen told me that her father was very abnormal"
"Abnormal? How so? Yu Qian became interested
"Wenwen told me before that his father...", Li Yaozhan said slowly as he recalled. Gradually, the image of a crazy middle-aged man who did not do his job, immersed in bizarre fantasies, and finally abandoned his family and women to run around the world surfaced in Yu Qian's mind. Li Yaozhan didn't know why Yu Qian was interested in Ma Wen's father, racking his brains to recall Ma Wen's mean description of her father, while trying to add fuel and vinegar, anyway, Ma Wen's suicide because of her father's influence is better than because of that phone call that morning.
Yu Qian saw through Li Yaozhan's careful thoughts at a glance, but he didn't say anything to debunk it, he listened carefully, wrote it in his notebook, and asked a few words from time to time, until Li Yaozhan couldn't say anything after searching his intestines and stomach.
"In addition, does Ma Wen usually have any friends who come and go frequently, or people who are close to each other?" Yu Qian saw that he couldn't say anything about Ma Yuan and Li Yaozhan, so he asked from a different angle
"This, Wenwen usually compares, uh, arrogant, if you have to say it, she doesn't seem to have any special good friends" Li Yaozhan thought hard and said the names of several of Ma Wen's classmates. Next, Yu Qian asked about Ma Wen's daily habits, and Li Yaozhan exchanged and met a few days before his business trip, until Li Yaozhan said that his mouth was dry and he couldn't think of anything else.
"Thank you very much for your cooperation" Yu Qian felt that he couldn't ask anything more, and closed the book with a snap, "I hope you can keep your phone on during this time, and we may contact you in the future, I hope you can cooperate at that time"
"Officer, may I ask how my girlfriend died?" Li Yaozhan saw that Yu Qian seemed to have finished asking all the questions, and hurriedly asked
"Now that the autopsy results have not come out, we can't determine the specific cause of death, so you go back first, and I will contact you separately when the case progresses" Yu Qian put away his notebook and stood up
"Then, the police officer is sorry for you, you must remember to inform me if you have the result" Li Yaozhan had no choice, he knew that it would be difficult for this police officer to take out any facts of the case today
"Definitely, I still need your cooperation in the future," Yu Qian said as he sent Li Yaozhan out of the police station......
Yu Qian sent Li Yaozhan away, sat back in his office, and turned the notes just now to the page where Ma Yuan was remembered and studied them......
