Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 47 Letters
Chen Jin has always been good at reading people's expressions and demeanor.

Although Lu Jingming said he was fine, Chen Jin knew very well that something was wrong, something serious!
But he still didn't dare to say anything more, and carefully lowered his voice: "No, it's Xu Yuan, he's in the lobby."

Lu Jingming glanced at him without saying a word, but the meaning in his eyes was clear: Xu Yuan is here, why are you so excited?
Chen Jin quickly explained, "Oh, I see. He said he received a letter today, and the contents of the letter were a bit strange."

He had barely finished speaking when he shook his head to correct him: "To be precise, the letter was delivered a few days ago, but he only picked it up today."

"Go take a look?" Lu Jingming nodded slightly, looked at Wei Qingsong, and asked in his eyes.

Upon seeing this, Chen Jin's eyes darted around. It seemed that this was not only a big deal, but a great thing!

Captain Lu is actually asking Sister Wei for her opinion!

Is this still the same Captain Lu who always keeps his word?

He noticed that the two of them didn't look too good, and he thought they had argued again.

Maybe they're just flirting.

Chen Jin breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart dissipated.

Wei Qingsong had already composed himself and nodded with a calm expression. Then, as if remembering something, he said in a deep voice, "Oh no, have Wencheng and Wenye left yet?"

Chen Jin answered uncertainly, "They should have left already."

Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat worried.

At this critical juncture, we can't let Wencheng and Wenye see Xu Yuan at the police station.

After all, they had just set a trap for Wen Cheng in their words. If he knew that the police had already discovered Xu Yuan's existence, it would not be a good thing.

"Let's go take a look first," Lu Jingming said in a slightly deep voice.

As Wei Qingsong passed by the reception room, he glanced inside and found it empty.

Nevertheless, she remained uneasy, worried that Xu Yuan had already met the two of them.

Xu Yuan was as docile as ever, sitting upright on the long bench in the hall, her hands on her knees, clutching a yellowed kraft paper envelope.

Seeing Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong approaching one after the other, he quickly stood up and handed the envelope forward: "Officer, this is the letter I received."

Lu Jingming reached out and took it, but didn't open it immediately. Instead, he asked, "Why are you here?"

"After you left this morning, Ms. Yuan noticed that I wasn't feeling well, so she told me to go back to school and rest."

“I’ve been quite busy with my studies lately, and I get back to the dorm very late. This letter was delivered to the dorm manager’s office. The dorm manager and security guards take over at 8 p.m., and the mail gets locked up, so it can only be retrieved during the day. I just got back and picked up this letter. The contents are a bit strange. I think it might be related to… his death, so I brought the letter over.”

When Wen Yu's death was mentioned, Xu Yuan's tone became somber.

Lu Jingming didn't ask any further questions. He took out the letter and unfolded it.

Wei Qingsong also came over to take a look.

The letter contained the following sentence: Leave Tangzhou immediately, or you will bear the consequences.

Yes, it's pasted on.

The person who wrote the letter did not leave their own handwriting, but instead cut out these words from magazines and newspapers and pasted them into a sentence.

Wei Qingsong took the envelope from Lu Jingming and examined it carefully, turning it over and over.

The sender's address was written as: University Town Square.

Lu Jingming asked sternly, "Did he send this letter to Xu Yuan as a threat, a warning, or a reminder?"

“We can’t tell anything from just this one sentence.” Wei Qingsong’s expression was equally solemn.

She looked at Xu Yuan, who was still lost in thought, and asked, "Did you ask the dorm supervisor about the exact time this letter was delivered?"

"The dormitory manager said that this letter has been there for four days."

“Four days… Wen Yu wasn’t in trouble four days ago.” Wei Qingsong frowned and pondered, “Could it be a coincidence?”

Lu Jingming folded the letter, put it back in the envelope, and said calmly, "Wen Yu was fine four days ago, but Situ Hui disappeared three days ago."

Is there any connection between these two things?
All the clues intertwine, weaving a complex and confusing web that is impossible to unravel.

Wei Qingsong pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice, "Thank you. We will investigate the origin of this letter. However, it would be best if you stayed in your dormitory for the next few days and did not go out. If there is any emergency, please contact us immediately and do not wander around on your own."

Now, no one can say for sure whether Xu Yuan is in danger.

Xu Yuan suddenly raised her eyes, her eyes filled with tears, yet her gaze was clear and restrained: "But, I also want to help."

Wei Qingsong paused, then said expressionlessly, "If you're willing to trust the police, then listen to me. Besides, you can't really help much except by providing useful clues."

These words were a bit harsh, and Lu Jingming frowned slightly, glancing up at her.

Xu Yuan lowered her eyes in disappointment and replied, "Okay, I understand."

After he left the police station, looking back every few steps, Wei Qingsong finally let out a deep sigh and his gaze fell on the envelope.

"Could it be Wencheng?" she asked hesitantly.

"We'll find out by checking." Lu Jingming's expression didn't change much.

The letter has a postmark, making it easy to find the postman who delivered it that day.

The postman was a dark-skinned, thin young man with an honest and upright appearance. After confirming Lu Jingming's identity, he told him everything that had happened that day in detail.

"I did deliver this letter. That day, I was delivering mail in the commercial street of the University Town Square when a gentleman suddenly stopped me and asked me to deliver this letter to Tangshi University. This was not in accordance with regulations, but he gave me five hundred yuan, so I..."

At this point, the young man lowered his head in embarrassment, but his skin was too dark to tell whether he blushed or not.

He said in a low voice, embarrassed, "Could you please not tell my boss about this? I was just momentarily blinded by greed and didn't mean any harm."

Wei Qingsong glanced at him and said calmly, "This letter may be related to a murder case, so I hope you can realize the seriousness of the matter, cooperate with the police, and answer all questions honestly."

The young man looked horrified, then nodded tremblingly: "I understand, I would never lie."

Wei Qingsong took a photo out of the folder and waved it in front of the young man: "Was it him who asked you to send the letter that day?"

The young man glanced at it and shook his head decisively: "Absolutely not, the person who asked me to send the letter isn't as handsome as him."

Wei Qingsong understood and took back the photo.

The photo clearly shows Wen Ye with a bright smile.

She pulled another photo from the folder and held it up in her hand: "So, is it him?"

The person in the photo has a calm expression, no smile, and a hint of fierceness in their eyes.

The young man looked at him and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, that's him. I remember him very clearly. He has a fierce look in his eyes and looks like a gangster."

Wei Qingsong ignored his assessment, her eyes gleaming as she met Lu Jingming's gaze.

The person who delivered the letter to Xu Yuan was actually Wen Cheng.

Could he be the one who killed Wen Yu?
I went out and had some fun, so I got home late.
