Chapter 8 Investigation and Speculation
"Two lads? I haven't had a young man here for years. The wrinkled old lady on crutches said loudly, "What are you doing here?" β
"Oh, Auntie." Yan Junli hurriedly stepped forward and said, "We are the policemen of City C, may I ask if Qin Weicai's home is here?" β
"What did you say?" The old lady put her ear close to Yan Junli and asked loudly, "I can't hear with that ear!" β
Yan Junli repeated again helplessly, "We are policemen!" Is this Qin Weicai's home? β
"Cookie shop? Are you looking for a cookie shop? The old lady raised her finger and pointed, "It's across the street!" β
Yan Junli sighed deeply and said to himself, "Here we go again...... It's a familiar scene. β
At this time, Li Hong gathered his hands into a trumpet shape and shouted at the old lady, "Is this Qin Weicai's homeββ? β
Now the old lady seemed to finally hear it, and nodded hurriedly, "Oh, you are here to find Xiaocai, come in, I'll make you a cup of tea or something......"
Seeing the old lady's trembling appearance, Li Hong hurriedly hugged her, "Uh...... You better sit down, I'll go make tea. β
The old lady sat down with a smile and nodded.
"So......" Yan Junli looked around, "Isn't he here?" β
"Who?"
"Qin Weicai."
"Oh...... He hasn't been here for a long time. The old lady smiled with crooked eyes.
"What? Since when? Yan Junli asked strangely, "We found out that this is his current residence." β
"No, he hasn't been home much since last month." "But he didn't come home much, so I didn't pay much attention to it." I thought he had finally found a girlfriend. β
"Haven't you tried to contact him?" Li Hong asked.
"Oh, yes, of course. But his mobile phone never got through, and I asked someone to go to his company to look for it, but I didn't find anyone. I'm too old to run all over the city looking for him. The old lady said with a sad face.
Yan Junli and Li Hong looked at each other, and the former asked with some hesitation, "So...... Didn't you report your son as a missing person? β
The old lady frowned suspiciously, and asked slowly, "...... Is there anything like that? β
Yan Junli sighed helplessly, it seemed that she couldn't ask anything if she continued to interrogate the old man, she obviously didn't know anything about Qin Weicai.
"I'm sorry, but we'd like to ask...... Qin Weicai is only your family? Isn't he married and has a daughter? β
"Dead." The old woman said lightly.
"Dead?" Both of them were a little surprised, "How did you die?" β
"I don't know, he never told me." The old lady lowered her head and shook her head, "He lost his father when he was very young, and his relationship with me has always been bad, but I heard from my neighbors that it was because of a car accident." By the way, he didn't come back much from that time. β
Yan Junli nodded, "So where did he live while he was still there?" β
The old lady stretched out her hand and pointed to the end of the hallway, "Well, that's his room over there." Even when he's at home, he's always locked himself up alone, not knowing what he's doing. β
"You don't mind if we go and see, do you?"
"Feel free, as long as you don't dislike it. His room was a mess. β
"Thank you." After Yan Junli thanked the old lady, he and Li Hong came to the room she said. As the old lady said, it was a slightly messy room inside, but it was really a small thing for Yan Junli, who had seen Yang Wenbin's room buried in the unsolved crime.
The room is not big and the structure is simple. Near the door was a wooden table and chair with lamps, books, and a mess of materials. Behind the desk was a dirty single bed, but not only was the quilt not folded, but it was full of old clothes. A large wardrobe was embedded in the wall opposite the bed, tightly closed.
The first thing that caught Yan Junli's attention was a photo on the table. It's hard not to attract attention to this photo, the picture above is very dark, and it seems that it can't be taken very clearly due to the light, but as long as you look closely, you can see that this is a cell, and there is a man in the middle of the field of vision who is tied to a wooden shelf, his face is not clear, but his limbs are bound by thick ropes, ** his upper body is exposed, his chest is blurred with blood, and the expression on his face is very hideous and painful.
There was also a man standing in front of the bound man, who was holding something like a whip in his hand, but it didn't look like an ordinary whip on a closer look, the whip had a lot of metal spikes on it, reflecting silver light in the faint light, and the thought of this thing pumping it on a person made me shudder. Yan Junli flipped the photo over, and on the back of the photo was a line of small letters: Prisoner >
Looking at this photo, Yan Junli felt a cold sweat break out of his back. Just when he was holding the photo in a daze, Li Hong suddenly shouted behind him.
"Team Yan, look at this!"
"What's wrong?" Yan Junli quickly put the photo into his coat pocket and turned around.
"Look, this closet." Li Hong opened the wardrobe on the wall and opened all the drawers, "It's full, all the clothes are inside." Including underwear, t-shirts, coats...... Don't you think it's a little too complete? β
"It's a bit too complete for someone who doesn't often go home to live." Yan Junli commented.
"It's the same for someone who leaves on their own initiative." Li Hong climbed onto the bed again, took out a wallet from under a pile of clothes and handed it to Yan Junli, "And this is also very revealing." β
Yan Junli took the wallet and opened it, "There is a lot of money in it." There are also driver's licenses, ID cards, and bank cards...... I learned this from Yang Wenbin, and a person who plans to go far away will not forget to take these things with him. β
Li Hong nodded, "Yes." So ......"
"So?" Yan Junli squinted at Li Hong. The latter winked innocently.
"Uh, isn't it the protagonist's task to say the conclusion handsomely at this time?"
Yan Junli angrily and funny knocked Li Hong's head, "Oh, I'm really sorry this is not a 007 movie." I'm not Dr. Yang who likes to show off, so I don't need to say such an obvious fact, right? β
Li Hong rubbed his head painfully, "Okay...... Most of these show that Qin Weicai may not have escaped on his own initiative as we imagined. β
Yan Junli nodded, "Although it's a guess...... But the most likely speculation of the current situation. Qin Wei was taken away and kidnapped without defense. β
"Could it be the clown?" Li Hong immediately asked.
"Before asking 'who' did it, I think I should first ask 'why' to do it." Yan Junli walked to the table, propped his hands on the edge of the table and thought, "Whoever did it, why did he do it?" Is kidnapping Qin Weicai any good for him? β
"He must know something, right?" Li Hong guessed, "I mean...... Didn't he receive an order from Sha Ying to kill Doctor Yang's parents? Then he must know something that other agents don't know, right? β
