Chapter 6: Sixteen Years Ago
Although now Wang Li has changed careers and is no longer a policeman. But seeing him like this, Wang Li still decided to meet Lin Mingkai's father.
Lin Mingkai's father's name is Lin Daohan, and he looks no more than 50 years old. At this time, Lin Daohan was already terminally ill with terminal cancer. Seeing Wang Li coming, Lin Daohan struggled to sit up, but it took a long time to work in vain.
Wang Li nodded, motioned for him to lie down and said. Lin Daohan opened his mouth and said angrily: "You are Officer Wang, did you participate in the investigation of the arson case back then?" ”
Wang Li nodded in acquiescence, Lin Daohan saw him admit it, and continued: "The fire back then, I remember that you finally determined that it was an accident, in fact, that fire, this was indeed an accident, but the accident exceeded our expectations, and we don't want to do this." ”
"Unexpected, beyond expectations." Hearing him say this, Wang Li was shocked, "What do you mean by this, could it be that the fire back then had something to do with you." ”
Lin Daohan burst into tears: "I have been innocent all my life and do things honestly." But I have done such a bad thing in my life, and I have been unable to sleep and eat for the rest of my life. ”
Saying that, Lin Daohan fell into deep thought: "In the summer of 16 years ago, my father was seriously ill and urgently needed a sum of money for treatment. And at this time, Ye Zhibin bought a lottery ticket at the lottery station I operated, and won the jackpot of 800,000 yuan. ”
Hearing him say this, Wang Li suddenly realized. No wonder Ye Zhibin was so happy that day, and a windfall fell from the sky. 800,000, whether it was then or now, is not a small amount.
"According to you, you wanted to keep his winning ticket for yourself, so you ran into someone's room in the middle of the night to steal it, only to be discovered. Then he simply did nothing, killed people and set fires, and destroyed corpses. ”
Lin Daohan nodded: "I was thinking at the time, why is God so unfair, I myself bought lottery tickets, I also bought so many lottery tickets, at most I won a few thousand yuan, and Ye Zhibin bought a lottery ticket once, and he could win more than 800,000 yuan." I told a friend of mine about it, but he actually discussed with me to steal the ticket. Then we split the prize money equally, and at that time my father was seriously ill and needed money, so I agreed to him. Actually, we just wanted to steal that lottery ticket, but the rest of the story was not what we expected. I didn't expect that person to be so ruthless, and he actually set a fire to kill people. ”
"The fire was a murder after someone stole it and killed people to destroy the evidence. You said that there was more than one person involved in this case, and who else was there. ”
When the question was asked, Lin Daohan had no strength to speak at this time, he tried hard to open his mouth, and he didn't say a word for a long time. Lin Mingkai hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Wang, my father is tired now, you can ask later." ”
Seeing him like this, Wang Li didn't ask for the time being, so he could only withdraw and wait. But at this time, because Lin Daohan was emotional, his condition worsened and worsened, and he was pushed into the operating room, but this time he went in, and never came out.
Lin Daohan died like this, leaving with self-blame and guilt. left the most important unfinished half sentence, which also gave Wang Li endless confusion.
After Lin Daohan's funeral, Lin Mingkai said to Wang Li: "Uncle Wang, I'm sorry, you have changed careers to not be a police officer now, and this matter should not trouble you." But my father had been blaming himself for this matter for so many years, and it was not until he died that he had the courage to speak out about it. I hope you can investigate what he said and let him go with peace of mind. ”
To this, Wang Li replied: "Don't worry, I will definitely try my best to investigate." Let your dad go with peace of mind, and it will also give justice to the deceased. ”
Although Wang Li has now changed careers, he and his former colleague, Hu Ding, have always been old friends. So Wang Li found Hu Ding and told him about it.
"What do you say, that fire was not an accident but a murder." Listening to Wang Liyi, Hu Ding also remembered the fire 16 years ago.
Because Qingzhi Village has basically never had a particularly vicious case for so many years, the level of criminal investigation of the police here has also dropped greatly. Time has passed, things are wrong, and trying to re-investigate the case more than ten years ago and look for clues again is like looking for a needle in a haystack. This is not something that Wang Li and Hu Ding can do.
However, Hu Ding thought of a solution: "Can we try to contact their relatives or family members and let their families find a way to appeal and overturn the case." Let the senior technicians in the province come to help, there are many talents there, and they will definitely be better than us. ”
Wang Li said that he agreed with this idea, and through inquiry, they found that Ye Zhibin and Xia Xiaomei had a daughter, and this daughter is also a police officer now. They were also excited to see the results. Originally, the two decided to find a way to find Ye Lili in the past few days. The result may be fate, Ye Lili suddenly appeared in Qingzhi Village, and was seen by Wang Li, who happened to be passing by.
"It seems that fate is really destined, and Lao Hu and I originally planned to go to you. I didn't expect you to come, we met so soon, it's really 'no coincidence that no book is written'. Wang Li said with emotion.
Han Yuchao looked at Ye Lili next to her, she was still in shock and sadness at this time, crying silently next to her, Han Yuchao walked over, put his hand on her back, and comforted softly: "Lili, don't worry." We will definitely investigate this case seriously and will definitely give justice to your parents. If I can't do it alone, there are Brother Chong and Sister Lan Shan, they will definitely help you. ”
"Yes, little girl, you see that your boyfriend has said that he will always help you, you see how good your boyfriend is."
"Boyfriend, do you mean him?" Only then did Ye Lili react, "Uncle, you misunderstood. We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, we're just good colleagues, good friends. Hearing Hu Ding say this, it seems that he misunderstood the relationship between the two people, and Ye Lili was embarrassed to explain.
"Yes, uncle, you misunderstood. We're just friends, very good friends. Han Yuchao also explained with a smile.
"Oops, what a friend is not a friend. Young man, let me tell you, if you like someone else's girl, you have to muster up the courage to chase it. Men, you have to speak first, it's hard to let the girl chase you. Besides, this little girl is not worthy of you, how many people envy you if you can marry her. ”
Listening to Wang Li and Hu Ding's words, Ye Lili and Han Yuchao glanced at each other, and their faces turned red.
Wang Li and Hu Ding next to them couldn't help but laugh when they saw the reaction of the two of them.
