Chapter 183: Clues Converge
To be honest, when I saw Lu Yuan take out the invitation from his clothes, my heart was broken.
Sister Yue'er clearly told me at the time that this invitation letter was very precious, and it was printed by Yu Tianlong in order to invite leaders in the field of criminal investigation to find out the matter of No. 37 L Mansion nationwide.
At least judging from the series of things that have happened now, the invitation is indeed extraordinary, otherwise Yu Tianlong would not have hesitated to send so many black-clothed bodyguards to take my life.
But now, including the one I have, this is the third invitation to appear in this small room.
The invitations appear almost more often than the street advertisements, and at this point, I really can't convince myself that invitations are precious.
"This..." Sister Yue'er looked at the three invitations on the table, and the whole person was not good: "This kind of thing was printed in less than twenty copies at that time, after all, the matter of No. 37 of L Mansion was kept secret at that time, and naturally the fewer people who knew about it, the better, but the three of you actually have one in each hand, and I also took itγγγγγ β
Well, you really have to take this luck, maybe you can go out and buy a lottery ticket now, and you can win 5 million or something.
I suddenly remembered that when I was investigating the "murder" case, Lu Yuan had urged me to finish the case more than once, and he hurried back to have important things to do, and now it seems that the important thing he said should refer to the invitation letter at No. 37 L House.
Since Ke Mobai's death, Lu Yuan's whole person has become very depressed, I have never seen him have such a strong interest in something, think about it, could it be that this L Mansion No. 37 is still related to Ke Mobai's cause of death?
But no matter how much I asked him, this kid just didn't want to say more. Lu Yuan is such a person, once he decides something, then there is no one in this world who can convince him.
Perhaps, this stupid boy still thinks that Ke Mobai's death has an inescapable relationship with him, and it is his personal reasons that indirectly led to Ke Mobai's tragedy, and he doesn't want us to be involved in this right and wrong.
But here comes the problem again. The invitation letter in my hand was given to me by Tang Yirou, and the one in Lin Jie's hand was obtained by her from her current husband, so where did she get the invitation letter in Lu Yuan's hand?
To be honest, although Lu Yuan is the captain of the Huayuan City Police Force, he is not even as good as me in terms of interpersonal relationships, and his character is not the kind of person who will ask for help in a low voice.
After thinking about it, I can only think of one person who might get this invitation for him.
I stood up, grabbed Lu Yuan, looked into his eyes, and said word by word: "Tell me honestly, is this invitation letter given to you by Lao Yan?" β
"No. No.. β
"Okay, I got it." Lu Yuan just won't lie, before he opened his mouth, this guy's eyes had already told me the answer, and the invitation letter in his hand was really related to Lao Yan.
It seems that my previous inference is really correct, whether it is the black gold case or Ke Mobai's identity, Lao Yan does know some truths, but I don't know what considerations that guy has, and he has been unwilling to tell me the truth.
At that moment, a terrifying thought suddenly surged out of the depths of my mind: maybe Lao Yan had also participated in the so-called "indoctrination field" project, or maybe the person who ordered Lin Bayi and them to conduct the experiment was Lao Yan, and it was precisely because he had experienced it that he repeatedly prevaricated to my questioning.
But after thinking about it, I quickly dismissed this absurd idea.
For more than 20 years, Lao Yan should have been teaching at the police academy, he had almost dedicated most of his life to that broken school, and he should not have time to complete the so-called plan.
In the final analysis, all of the above is just my conjecture, as for the truth of this matter, I don't know, perhaps, only after seeing Lao Yan, can I get a specific result.
Lin Jie smiled helplessly, then took out a pack of high-end cigarettes from her pocket, and handed one to me and Lu Yuan: "Since we are all old acquaintances, then let's not talk darkly."
There is less than half a month left before the date on the invitation letter, and I have worked hard to get this invitation, so naturally I have to go inside and see how terrifying this so-called "haunted house" is.
There is still a distance between No. 37 L House and Z City, if you don't leave as soon as possible, if there is any accident on the way, I'm afraid it will be delayed, I don't know what you two think? β
I thought about it for a while, the murder case here in Z City has actually been almost investigated, and the rest of the things Liu Hao and the criminal police in the bureau should be able to solve it, and with the exposure of Lin Bayi's murderer's identity, my suspicions can naturally be cleared.
Although there are still many doubts about the case itself, such as why Lin Bayi attacked Lu Wei, a psychiatrist he didn't know, etc., with his death, I don't think I will find more useful things if I continue to stay here.
On the other hand, No. 37 L House, because it is already a matter of the last century, that place has long become a well-known "haunted house". Coupled with the appearance of Tang Yirou and the so-called "indoctrination field" plan, the secrets buried in it have become even more confusing.
I vaguely feel that the reason why Yu Tianlong summoned the leaders in the field of criminal investigation across the country to go there may also be to decipher the truth buried there.
My opinion is to leave immediately and follow Lin Jie to No. 37 L House, so that I can get acquainted with her and take care of each other along the way. Second, Lin Jie is a rich woman, maybe she can charter a special plane or something, in short, I don't have to worry about the cost along the way, after all, I, a third-rate detective, have long been poor.
Compared to me, the guy in Lu Yuan hesitated for a while because of the previous relationship between the two, and after so many years, that guy really can't let go of the former relationship. However, after I talked about it, this guy finally agreed to come down and follow us to No. 37 L House.
Lin Jie took a deep puff of her cigarette, then rolled up her sleeves domineeringly, glanced at the Longines watch on her wrist, and said lightly: "It's 1:30 in the morning, since it's been decided, then you guys have a good rest here first, I'll go back to arrange the trip, and I'll notify you two when the time comes!" β
After saying that, she took a sip of the remaining red wine in the goblet, then extinguished the cigarette in her hand, and walked out with the big cow and the blonde chick.
It just so happened that Lin Jie's room was upstairs from us, and I used the excuse of sending someone out of the house with the three of them, and when I was about to enter the elevator, I stopped her again.
"Wait, I still have some things to talk to you about."
"Things?" Lin Jie is a smart person, and she quickly understood, what I want to talk to her about next must not be simple, otherwise I would have said it in the room just now, and I wouldn't have waited until now to speak.
She told the big cow and the blonde chick to go back to their room first, and she stayed here and walked with me to the corner of the corridor.
"Okay, there's no one anymore, just ask if you have any questions?"
"It's really refreshing!" I thought about it for a while, and finally mustered up my courage and slowly spoke: "Actually, about the cause of Ji Yan's death, you should have already found out some eyebrows?" Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so insistent on going to that place. β
When she was in the room before, whenever Lin Jie talked about No. 37 L House, her eyes would show a trace of hatred intentionally or unintentionally, and I guessed that she should have that special feeling for that place for some reason.
Since Ji Yan's death, Lin Jie has been focused on investigating the cause of his death, if there is anything else in this world that can make her care so much, then I can only think of something related to the cause of Ji Yan's death.
No matter how you scrutinize it, the only explanation is that regarding the cause of Ji Yan's death, Lin Jie has already found out some eyebrows. Moreover, it was precisely because of those things found that she thought that there was an inseparable relationship between Ji Yan's death and No. 37 L House.
Lin Jie listened to my analysis, was startled at first, and then showed a helpless smile: "You stinky boy, it's still the same as back then, you can see people so accurately, it's easy to hide that stupid melon, it's really difficult to hide it from you." β
"So, let's talk about it, how did Ji Yan die, and why do you want to go to that place so stubbornly?"
Lin Jie took out another cigarette from her pocket, lit it, and took a slow puff.
Since Ji Yan's death, the woman in front of her seems to have inherited the bad habit of the big smoker, at least one pack of cigarettes a day, which is more serious than some men who are addicted to smoking.
After a while, she seemed to have finally suppressed the fluctuations in her heart, and spat a puff of smoke at me: "When I was in the Black Gold Case, what was the conclusion of Ji Yan's death that the forensic doctor came to?" β
I thought about it for a moment, and then said affirmatively: "The ruptured heart caused by myocardial obstruction, and when we found his body, this guy had been dead for almost a month. β
Thinking of the situation at that time, I inevitably felt uncomfortable in my heart. Ji Yan has always been very arrogant, used to being lively, and will always be the first to take the lead in the front when encountering problems, but what he didn't expect was that the guy ended up wearing a red coat and died silently in a small room, and with the passage of time, his body slowly decayed and decayed.
Such a nest's death is really wronged by him.
"Heart attack?" Lin Jie spit out these four words with a smile: "So, do you believe that he was scared to death by something and died of the so-called myocardial infarction?" β
"Of course I don't believe it!" Not to mention that Ji Yan has no history of heart disease at all, a man like him, who has never seen any scenes, how could he be scared to death by something? This is probably the biggest joke in the world.
In other words, the truth found out by Lin Jie should not be much different from my speculation at the time, Lu Yuan should have died of homicide, but the other party used very clever means to falsify the assassination scene, so that the forensic doctor could only find out the situation of myocardial infarction.
Suddenly, something very important crossed my mind.
I suddenly remembered that the pianist in the murder case, the cause of his death was strikingly similar to Ji Yan. Lin Bayi injected a whole tube of air into the pianist's vein through an air needle, which caused embolism near the atrium of the guy and caused a heart attack.
If it weren't for Lin Bayi telling me the truth, I believe that even now I wouldn't be able to understand the reason.
Lin Bayi once revealed to me, intentionally or unintentionally, that the killing method of the air needle was taught to him by someone.
A terrifying thought rose from my heart, could the guy who killed Ji Yan and the person who taught Lin Bayi to use the air needle be the same person?
"I don't believe that he will be scared to death by himself, that is to say, the conclusion of the two of us is the same, Ji Yan did die of murder!" After saying this, Lin Jie suddenly became unusually calm, and I knew that what she was going to say to me next must be something I had never thought of before.
"Gao Fei, let me ask you, the door of Ji Yan's house was locked from the inside at that time, right?"
"Yes!" The details of the crime scene are still fresh in my memory. At that time, the door of his house was completely locked from the inside, and even the fruit bowl and flowers placed in the door were rotten. If I hadn't broken the lock with a paper clip and forced open the door to his house, I might have waited until the house was about to be demolished before his nearly skeletonized body was discovered.
However, all of the above can show that in the month after Ji Yan's accident, the people who came to visit never entered the house.
Lin Jie's sharp eyes stared at me, then extinguished the cigarette butt, and said in a low voice: "There is an anomaly in the house where Ji Yan died, I don't know if you can still remember it now." And that anomaly is the key to the cause of his death! β
