Christmas Bonus Chapter
The group quickly arrived at the police station.
Li Xiujuan and her son were family members of the victim and must first make a record. Team Leader Chen was called away by his colleagues, saying that important clues had been found.
Jiang Lan himself explained that he wanted to make a call first.
Qin Shuyi was sitting alone in the reception room, his back straight. Looking only at his appearance and temperament, it was impossible to tell that he was nearly seventy years old.
Wang Qing sat on the sofa in the corner, looking at him furtively, thinking in his heart that he really couldn’t see that this old man was capable of killing three rural men.
Although the He brothers were about fifty years old, they were not weak. On the contrary, because they were honed by doing farm work in the countryside in their early years, all of them were fat and strong, and had a lot of strength.
On the contrary, Qin Shuyi seemed like a scholar who didn’t have the strength to even restrain a chicken.
However, Wang Qing quickly overturned his idea. After all, people should not be judged by their appearance. And if he was really no longer alive, anything was possible.
Wang Qing was thinking wildly when his eyes fell on Qin Shuyi vaguely.
Suddenly, he saw something move in Qin Shuyi’s pocket.
He woke up in an instant, and watched in horror as the paper figure in his pocket showed its head and grinned at him.
Wang Qing: ……
Brother Jiang! Help!!
Jiang Lan went out to call Ying Qiao and asked him for Chen Hua’s contact information. When he was looking for him, he realized that he didn’t have Chen Hua’s contact information.
Ying Qiao seemed to be sleeping over there, and his voice sounded a little sleepy: “What’s wrong?”
Jiang Lan thought that he had disturbed his sleep, so he swallowed his pleasantries and said in short words: “Can you give me Boss Chen’s phone number? I have something to talk to him about.”
Ying Qiao: ???
He glanced coldly at Chen Hua, who was preparing a work report opposite him, and said in a deep voice: “What do you want from the boss? I’m still working overtime in the company, and the boss is also here.”
Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows as soon as he heard the tone, and said happily, “Then can you let Boss Chen answer the phone?”
Chen Hua, who clearly heard the content of the call: …
Little Ancestor, do you want to harm me?
Ying Qiao pursed his lips, and the smile on his face had disappeared. Then he said expressionlessly: “Okay.”
He handed the phone to Chen Hua and said almost through gritted teeth: “Boss, Jiang Lan has something to do with you.”
Chen Hua answered the phone with a stiff face.
Jiang Lan explained the situation of Qin Shuyi and Sao Qingniang on the other end of the phone.
“Although Sao Qingniang’s methods were a bit extreme, she was born out of Qin Shuyi’s obsession. The revenge of Qin Shuyi is also a cycle of cause and effect. So, it is not a heinous crime.”
Chen Hua nodded: “That’s right.”
Seeing that he agreed with his view, Jiang Lan quickly said, “Then do you know the people in the detention center? I’m worried that when Qin Shuyi and his daughter are transferred to the detention center, the punishment will be too severe.”
In fact, Jiang Lan could directly report the case to the Demon Management Bureau, hand over Qin Shuyi and his daughter to the bureau, and then the bureau would send someone to contact Team Leader Chen and the others. His mission would be completed, and there would be no need to bother Chen Hua at all.
But it was probably what he saw in the Paperman World that made him feel compassion, so he thought of asking Chen Hua for help.
He remembered that Ying Qiao had said that Boss Chen had many connections in the bureau.
The special service team was actually only responsible for early arrests and did not participate in subsequent trials and detentions. It was the detention center that was responsible for convicting criminals. Even Jiang Lan was not sure how they would deal with the situation in the end once he handed the person over to the bureau.
Since he promised Qin Shuyi that they would deal with Sao Qingniang lightly, he would not break his promise. If Chen Hua couldn’t solve it, he was going to go find his elder brother again.
Fortunately, Chen Hua had a wide network of contacts and knew the people in the detention center: “Don’t worry, the bureau’s view on this matter should be the same as yours. Since it’s cause and effect cycle, retribution is not good. Although the Demon Management Bureau also follows human laws, sometimes the laws of nature are also based on legal principles, they will handle it as appropriate.”
Jiang Lan was a little embarrassed: “I was just a little worried.”
Chen Hua sighed in his heart that this little monster was too soft-hearted. Just as he was about to say a few words of comfort, he suddenly felt two cold and piercing eyes from the opposite side.
He quickly suppressed his smile and said stiffly: “Don’t worry, I’ll be there right away. Send me your address.”
After saying that, he felt that Ying Qiao’s eyes had become colder. His nerves tightened and he added before hanging up the phone: “Xiao Ying will be coming with me too.”
After he was done, he quickly returned the phone.
It was hot to the touch.
Ying Qiao looked at him with a dead man’s smile: “When did you get on such good terms with Jiang Lan?”
Chen Hua: “…is it very good?”
Ying Qiao sneered: “If you don’t have good relations, why would he think of you for help immediately?”
Why don’t I see the little monster looking for me?
Chen Hua cried out that he was wronged. Then he complained: “Am I not the only one from the special service team that he knows? He probably recognizes me as a big monster. Who else can he look for if he doesn’t look for me? Besides, he doesn’t even have my phone number.”
Ying Qiao’s face turned pale.
Then he said with some dissatisfaction: “The little monster would rather find you than me.”
He had obviously forgotten that in front of the little monster, he was just an ordinary snake.
This time, Chen Hua stopped laughing and reminded Ying Qiao kindly: “If you tell Jiang Lan that you are actually Ying Long, next time he will probably ask you directly for help.” That’s right.
Chen Hua sneered and thought, you have the ability to be sour, but do you have the ability to take off your vest?
Ying Qiao: …..
Of course it was impossible to take off the vest. Thinking about Jiang Lan’s impression of the dragon, he felt a headache.
Ying Qiao pinched his brows, threw the project plan and reports aside unhappily, stood up and said coldly: “Let’s go!”
Chen Hua looked at his angry back and finally let out a bad breath.
I can’t hold you back from walking towards death.
….
Jiang Lan finished the phone call and returned to the reception room, where he saw Wang Qing cowering in the corner in fear.
He couldn’t express his excitement when he saw him coming back: “The paper man… can move…”
Jiang Lan immediately turned around and stared at Qingniang: “You are scaring people again.”
Sao Qingniang said unconvinced: “He keeps staring at daddy!”
Qin Shuyi had been distracted since he entered the police station. He only realized something was wrong when he heard them talking. Looking at Wang Qing, who looked frightened, he realized what Sao Qingniang had done. He frowned slightly and said in a stern tone: “Go in. What did your father tell you?”
The arrogant Sao Qingniang suddenly withered: “I can’t do bad things anymore.”
It rubbed itself in the pocket and said willfully: “Dad, I know I was wrong.”
Qin Shuyi gave it a few words of stern instruction, and after getting its assurance, he apologized to Wang Qing with an apologetic expression.
Wang Qing: t……
He stared at Qin Shuyi’s pocket. The voice that just spoke came from his pocket. He was 100% sure that it was the paper man speaking.
He looked at Jiang Lan helplessly, feeling like he was about to pass away.
Fortunately, Captain Chen came in through the door and saved him. Captain Chen looked at Qin Shuyi and said, “Mr. Qin, we have some questions for you.”
Qin Shuyi looked at him and nodded for a long time.
Zhao Li took him to the interrogation room, and Team Chen said to Jiang Lan: “We found the files about the flood in 1999. After the flood, Qin Shuyi called the police and reported that people in the He family village had killed his wife and daughter in order to worship the river god. But when the police went to investigate, the villagers said that he had gone crazy since his wife and daughter fell into the river. In addition, the flood destroyed the village, and the police could not find any evidence, so the case was dropped.”
“Qin Shuyi has sufficient motives for killing.” Captain Chen stared at Jiang Lan and asked slowly: “Is he the murderer you mentioned before?”
Jiang Lan nodded, then shook his head: “It’s him, but it’s not him.”
“What does it mean?”
After Captain Chen read the files and determined Qin Shuyi’s motive for murder, he actually believed Jiang Lan’s words. But he couldn’t figure out how Qin Shuyi committed the crime.
Jiang Lan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then said: “It is true that the villagers of He family village killed Qin Shuyi’s wife and daughter. It is also true that Qin Shuyi wanted revenge, but it was his daughter who killed all these people.”
Team Chen looked like he was kidding him: “Qin Shuyi’s daughter died twenty years ago.”
Jiang Lan laughed: “Yes, that’s why you needed my assistance in this case. You can first listen to the whole story of that case, and then send people to search in the river at the old site of He family village. They should be able to find the three deceased people’s missing head there.”
He family village was a village below Caiyang District. It was a remote place. Even if the roads were open now, it would take at least three hours to drive back and forth.
But from the time He Laowu disappeared to Qin Shuyi’s appearance, it was only an hour.
Unless Qin Shuyi could fly to the sky and escape from the earth, He Laowu’s head could not be at the old site of He family village.
Team Leader Chen originally wanted to refute, but when he saw Jiang Lan’s determined look, he changed his mind for some reason: “I will ask someone to go take a look.”
After that, he went to participate in the interrogation.
Jiang Lan could not participate in the interrogation process. He could only wait boredly in the reception room. Li Xiujuan and her son also came here to rest after finishing their report.
Jiang Lan glanced at them and noticed something was wrong with Li Xiujuan’s expression.
She seemed to have seen something extremely terrifying, her body was trembling, her eyes were so wide that they almost bulged out of her sockets, and her lips were dark blue.
Her son was sitting next to her, but didn’t notice his mother’s abnormality because of the huge blow.
It wasn’t until Li Xiujuan suddenly screamed, knelt down and kowtowed, while muttering, “I didn’t kill you, it has nothing to do with me” that he realized something was wrong.
“Mom, what are you doing?” Her son was stunned for a moment and quickly pulled her up.
Li Xiujuan seemed to have become stuck to the ground. Her expression was extremely frightened, as if she had seen something extremely terrifying, and her forehead was bleeding.
“Every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its debtor. My man is dead. If you want revenge, go find someone else. The third and sixth sons are still alive. Don’t come to me. I didn’t kill you!”
She ignored her son’s pull and yelled like crazy. However, the police outside were alerted by the movement and came over, looking at the crazy Li Xiujuan in surprise.
“What’s going on? Do I need to call 120?”
“She just said that she did not kill anyone, but that the murderer was the third and sixth child.” Jiang Lan stood up and reported with a righteous face: “Comrade police, I suspect they concealed another murder case.”
While Li Xiujuan’s son was pulling his mother, he took time to argue: “Don’t throw mud on others!”
Jiang Lan did not back down: “I just heard from Captain Chen that the He family village was involved in a feudal superstitious murder case 20 years ago. Maybe this Ms. Li knows the inside story?”
The two policemen saw that Li Xiujuan was acting crazy and were a little hesitant. But as soon as Jiang Lan finished speaking, Li Xiujuan stopped going crazy. She turned around and glared at Jiang Lan, scolding fiercely: “Little beast, what are you talking about?!”
Then the policemen saw her looking ferocious and guilty. Her eyes were wandering and flickering, and although she was trying her best to deny it, she actually showed some guilt and fear.
Li Xiujuan pulled her son and wanted to leave but was stopped by the police in a friendly but forceful manner: “Please wait a moment. Team Leader Chen may have some questions that you need to answer later.”
Jiang Lan smiled when he saw this. When he passed by Li Xiujuan, he unknowingly took the paper figure from her head as he left the reception room.
The author has something to say:
Longlong: Did you hook up with the little monster behind my back? Otherwise, why would he come to you first? Don’t you want to live anymore?
Chen Hua: …It’s not that I don’t have it.
(If you push harder, be careful and I will reveal all the dirty information about you)
