Chapter 156 Clue Four

As soon as Zhang Lin got home at night, he received a message from Wu Peng: Come out for a drink?

Zhang Lin looked tired, and replied: I'm tired, another day.

Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door. Zhang Lin frowned and opened the door, only to find Wu Peng standing outside with two beers.

"What are you doing in a daze, help me." Wu Peng put one of them into Zhang Lin's arms, and pushed the door straight into the room.

Zhang Lin had no choice but to close the door behind him.

When they were working in a band, Wu Peng came to Zhang Lin's house. He lived by himself, and sometimes it was convenient to rehearse here.

A few years later, when I came to this room again, those musical instruments were gone, replaced by well-arranged furniture and quilts folded into tofu blocks on the bed.

"You were much more interesting before than you are now." Wu Peng looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Zhang Lin's stern face.

Thinking of Zhang Lin back then, at least he was a rock and roll youth, which was much more interesting than the old-fashioned and serious look now.

Zhang Lin said calmly, "Your skin is much thicker than before."

Wu Peng smiled, sat down at the table, and looked at the person opposite: "No way, life is hard. Don't act like I owe you money, aren't you tired? I'll bring the wine directly. Let's drink here."

Zhang Lin sat down, with a clear expression of disgust on his face.Back then, he was the one who broke up with him even if he didn't agree with each other, but now he even took the initiative to come to him for a drink, and he looked at the scar on his arm that hadn't fallen off, and couldn't say the words to drive him away.

The two each took a beer and drank each bottle.This wine is from Heineken, and they were the only ones in the band who liked to drink this brand.

"Are you still playing music?" Zhang Lin asked.

Wu Peng smiled wryly: "I am entertaining myself once in a while. To be honest, I seem to understand why you quit when you said you quit."

Zhang Lin drank half of the bottle in one go, and there was a trace of pity in Wu Peng's eyes.I think he was also a talented singer back then, but now he is still a social animal.

Zhang Lin put down the bottle and said lightly, "I know why you came to see me today, but this is a case secret, and I won't tell you."

Wu Peng waved his hand and wiped the wine from his mouth: "You won't tell me, but I have something to tell you."

Zhang Lin glanced at him: "What's the matter?"

"I went to the Maritime Safety Administration to find out that Jia Wenjun has never passed the yacht pilot's license."

Zhang Lin asked him back: "So what? Not doing research doesn't mean she can't sail."

"What are you in a hurry for? I haven't finished yet. I didn't find Jia Wenjun's research information, but I saw the information of another person on the Shell."

"Who?"

"White Horse Mountain."

"Baimashan?" Zhang Lin frowned slightly. Baimashan had been interrogated before and after Zhao Di's distress. This person had witnesses before and after Zhao Di's distress, proving that he was with everyone. Quite a few, the medicine on his body is almost the heaviest, so he didn't focus on this person before.

"You can check."

Zhang Lin took a sip of wine: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Just a reminder, I also want you to find out the evidence as soon as possible to remove Jia Wenjun's suspicion."

"Elution? You think she's innocent?"

Wu Peng shook the bottle: "You can't find any evidence that can directly convict her. In fact, you also know that the video that only saw the back and other people's speculations are not enough at all. standard of conviction."

After a pause, he continued, "Do you think it's possible? She's just a scapegoat. The real murderer is still at large."

Zhang Lin didn't speak, but just drank in silence.

Wu Peng looked at him like this, knowing that they must have found no evidence to convict Jia Wenjun now, and they should have found other clues that are beneficial to Jia Wenjun.

He looked at Zhang Lin on the opposite side and said, "Did you find the boat that Mr. Lin told you about?"

Zhang Lin put down the bottle: "I told you, I won't tell you, if you want to continue drinking, don't ask."

"Okay, okay, don't ask, don't ask, drink." Wu Peng looked at his stretched eyebrows, it was his former brother, and from his expression, Wu Peng roughly guessed that the boat was probably found.

Perhaps it was because of this that Zhang Lin didn't speak when he said Jia Wenjun was innocent?

This idea made Wu Peng secretly excited, thinking that he would tell Jia Wenjun the good news early tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, last night, I had two men who scolded each other for being disrespectful and one for being inhumane. One went to the detention center early, and the other went to the beach where the boat was seen yesterday.

Just as Jia Wenjun finished his housework, he was called out.

Wu Peng told her the information he had learned in the past two days. Jia Wenjun was very excited when he heard that the police might have found the ship that hit the Shell. After all, the black hand was not from the Shell at all. People, they can only come from a small boat. If the boat is found, it will be a matter of time before the black hand is caught.

Wu Peng told Jia Wenjun that Baimashan would sail the boat again. Jia Wenjun paused, thinking that she had misunderstood Baimashan when she was on the boat, but Baimashan still helped her regardless of the past.

She shook her head and said, "Brother Bai is the only person on the boat who has helped me. If he really wants to frame me, there's no need to help me like this. Just stand by and watch."

Wu Peng saw that Jia Wenjun trusted Baima Mountain so much, so he didn't say anything more, and asked her about the interrogation, and then told him about Liu Lu's transfer to Jia Wenjun, and finally said: "If things go well, the police find If we find out the real culprit, then we will make preparations, and your side should be able to come out soon."

This was the best news that Jia Wenjun had heard during the days when she came here. She held back her slightly red eyes and nodded: "Thanks for your hard work, Lawyer Wu."

"This is what I should do. By the way, Aunt Jia's leg is no longer a problem. Now she has moved to Uncle Jia's ward to take care of him. Uncle Jia's condition has gradually stabilized."

Jia Wenjun felt that the sun was particularly good today, and she heard two good news early in the morning. She looked at Wu Peng and said, "Although I have said this sentence many times, I still want to say it, thank you."

At this time, several fishing boats were unloading on the beach. Zhang Lin recognized the fishermen from yesterday, went up to buy some seafood, and then asked them where Laojiangtou was.

Several people sold things and shouted loudly to a man in his 60s and [-]s who got off the boat: "Lao Jiangtou, someone is looking for you."

The man looked simple and honest, with a puzzled look on his face. Zhang Lin had already walked up to him and said what he wanted.

Lao Jiangtou looked at the ship: "The owner of the ship doesn't come often, I only saw it once or twice."

"Do you have a phone number?"

Lao Jiangtou shook his head: "I don't have that. Besides, there is a girl. I asked her what phone number she had, and there was nothing to contact her."

Zhang Lin paused: "Girl? You said the owner of this boat is a girl?"

"Yes, she is tall and thin. I've only seen her twice. One time she took a fishing rod on a boat to go fishing early in the morning, and the other time she took a man to go fishing at night, but this It was all about a month ago."

The old man thought for a while: "Hey, no, it seems that the boat went out for two weeks and came back later, but I didn't see anyone at that time, I just saw that the boat disappeared, and then the boat came back."

The last two weeks, calculated forward, happened to be when the Shell had just set out to sea.

Zhang Lin frowned: "Then have you seen what that girl looks like?"

Lao Jiangtou thought for a while: "I didn't see it too clearly, because the light was not very good in the morning and evening, but the girl should be pretty, and the fishers are usually rough men, and suddenly I saw a woman coming to fish. , I just took a few more glances, I don’t know her phone number or anything.”

Zhang Lin thought for a while, looked at the seafood on the old man's boat, and said, "How about this, master, please leave me a phone number, if I want to buy seafood, I will call you."

Lao Jiangtou didn't suspect him, so he gave him the number.

When Zhang Lin got into the car, the first thing he did was to call the Fishery Administration and ask them to seize the physical evidence here.
