Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 467: The Man Behind the Scenes, the Cause of Yan Lina's Death (Two Chapters Combined into One)

It only took Director Li half an hour to return.

No one knew who he was looking for, but at this time, Yu Po's detailed information and the call records on the day of the incident were already in his hands and handed to Chen Yi.

The person who stands at the top of the branch must have his own team and people he trusts in the bureau, otherwise he will be left alone. To put it bluntly, he will be sidelined.

The people below are not yours. They pretend to obey you but actually disobey you. Do you still expect to manage them well?

While Chen Yi was reading the documents, Director Li sat there waiting. It could be seen that he was somewhat nervous and didn't want anything to really happen.

Yu Po is in charge of criminal investigation, and his importance is self-evident. Criminal cases have always been the focus of prevention and crackdown in the bureau.

If Yu Po were gone, he would have a real headache.

The first thing Chen Yi looked at was Yu Po's detailed information.

The information is very comprehensive, recording everything from his resume to his family relationships and achievements. It must be admitted that Yu Po is an excellent policeman. He has solved many cases over the years, received banners from victims' families, and has been awarded third-class and second-class merits. He was even injured in an operation to hunt down a fugitive.

There was a wound on his left abdomen, which was a reflection of his profession and a medal of honor.

Chen Yi took a quick glance and was not affected. They were two different things.

If merit could be used to make up for mistakes, the police force would be in chaos.

After reading the information, Chen Yi went to look at the call records.

There were a lot of call records on that day, but few names. A limited number of people called frequently. It is conceivable that the Yu family must have been in a state of panic and chaos that day.

"Heh, Yu Haide...only grandson."

Yu Haide is Yu Po's father and Yu Zhanlin's grandfather. The two had the longest phone call, which lasted more than half an hour.

Yu Zhanlin is the only grandson of the Yu family. He has a brother-in-law (cousin) who married into the family.

The eldest family has four daughters, the third family has two daughters, and the fourth family has one daughter. Yu Po is the third child, and Yu Zhanlin's father is the second child.

If Yu Zhanlin went to jail, the Yu family would be ruined in a sense.

The older generation would definitely treat Yu Zhanlin as their darling and would not tolerate any mistakes. Now that Yu Zhanlin is involved in a murder case, Chen Yi doesn't believe that Yu Po will not receive any favors.

The second son could have declined politely, but what about Yu Haide? He was his father, and if he didn't cry or even threaten to commit suicide after hearing a phone call, that would be inappropriate. He could still persuade him with emotion and reason, but there was a possibility that Yu Po would make a mistake because of this.

These two documents deepened Chen Yi's suspicion of Po.

Investigating a case requires objective conditions and subjective inferences. Now that the objective conditions have been met, it depends on whether Yu Po can hold on.

The whole family is watching Yu Po, can he really stay out of it?

Maybe, Chen Yi is willing to believe that he can, but he still needs to investigate.

Seeing Chen Yi put down the documents, Director Li immediately asked: "How is it?"

Chen Yi looked up: "Can't Director Li see it himself?"

With such an obvious motive, he didn't believe that Director Li didn't realize that people who could reach this position were very smart in terms of both IQ and EQ.

Director Li showed an awkward but polite smile on his face. The importance of Yu Zhanlin to the Yu family was self-evident. He certainly understood such a simple truth, but a murder case was no trivial matter. Yu Po should be able to clearly tell which side was more important.

As police officers, everyone understands the consequences of falsifying information. Not only Yu Zhanlin, but everyone will be in trouble.

"Captain Chen, to be honest, I still trust Lao Yu." They were all colleagues, and Director Li was willing to help, at least say something good, even though he knew that whether he said it or not could not influence Chen Yi's judgment.

Chen Yi: "I am willing to believe it too. Let's see the results. Director Li, rest assured, I will never deliberately target anyone. It will be fair, just and open."

Director Li: "Captain Chen, of course I trust you to do your job. So what are you going to do next?"

Chen Yi: “I haven’t thought about it yet.”

Director Li: "How can I help?"

Chen Yi: "Forbid these three people to leave Taicheng. If they are found, they will be controlled immediately."

Director Li agreed: "Okay."

Now is the stage of suspicion and investigation, and restricting people from going out is a normal procedure. If substantial clues are found, the relevant personnel can be temporarily suspended even if there is no evidence.

Strictly speaking, suspension is not a disciplinary action, but just a process of waiting for inspection and processing. If there is no problem at the end of the inspection, the original position may be reinstated, or the disciplinary action may be formally carried out.

There are six types of punishment: warning, demerit, serious demerit, demotion, dismissal, and expulsion. Severe offenders will be held accountable for legal consequences.

In this case, if the autopsy results are wrong, Ma Lichuan and other people involved will face dismissal and fixed-term imprisonment.

The consequences are very serious. Not only will you lose your job, but you will also be put in jail.

This is the same as when ordinary people commit crimes, they have a sense of hope. If the investigation team had not come this time, no one would know what happened.

Before leaving, Director Li asked one more question: Was the victim murdered?

Chen Yi replied that the possibility of homicide was still very small and tended to be manslaughter.

It is extremely difficult and risky to get acquittal from homicide, and it is almost impossible to conceal it. However, it is easy to get it from negligence to accident, and you just need to change something slightly.

Besides, Yu Zhanlin had no motive to kill, unless Sun Shuxiang was also involved, which was unlikely.

Chen Yi's words made Director Li feel a little relieved. As long as it was not homicide, there was a possibility of misunderstanding, or perhaps it was a mistake.

The line between manslaughter and accident is sometimes very thin and hard to tell.

After leaving the branch, Chen Yi convened a research team to meet Liu Ping.

It is actually very simple to investigate this case. All we need to do is find the person who helped Liu Ping.

Since they chose to let Liu Ping go to Yangcheng to stop a car and file a complaint, it means that the other party knew that there were problems in the investigation process of the case and even knew the specific inside story. Once this person was found, all the truth would be revealed.

On the way, Zhuge Cong and others inevitably asked about the investigation situation. Chen Yi would not hide anything from them and told them everything he needed to say, including his own speculations.

Everyone was silent and did not discuss the matter. After all, the identities of Ma Lichuan and his men were rather special. Although they did not know each other, no one wanted their speculation to become a fact and to lose the backbone force in combating crime.

The Yan family is an ordinary family. The father goes out every day to deliver drinks to the convenience stores in the area he is responsible for, and the mother Liu Ping peels duck feet for supply. The couple's monthly income is decent, adding up to about 15,000 yuan, and close to 20,000 yuan when things are good.

There are two children in the family. The elder sister Yan Lina has passed away, leaving only a younger brother who is in junior high school.

There is no such thing as favoring boys over girls. Yan Lina's death was a huge blow to the family. Her younger brother was so sad that he couldn't sleep for three days. Her father also grew white hair overnight. Her mother was heartbroken, otherwise she would not have stopped a car to find out the truth that she was not sure of.

Liu Ping is the only one at home. Her father has gone to work and her younger brother has gone to school. Although the family has suffered a huge change, they still have to live on.

"Old Yan is a daughter slave. He has loved Lina very much since she was a child. After the incident, he...he almost wanted to kill Yu Zhanlin to avenge Lina."

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Liu Ping wiped away her tears and talked about the past.

Chen Yi and others listened silently. They could completely understand that if Yan Lina was an only child, her father would most likely take extreme actions.

But there is another son in the family.

If you have concerns, your impulses will be suppressed. Father Yan is still relatively rational.

After Liu Ping had vented her emotions, Chen Yi began to ask: "Yan Lina has a mild hemangioma. Did you know about this?"

Hearing this, Liu Ping sighed: "I only found out about this after she died. The police told us. We really didn't know she was sick. If she was sick, she had to be treated. Why didn't you tell us?"

Chen Yi: "It seems that I discovered it during my own physical examination. I'm only reporting good news, not bad news."

Put yourself in his shoes. If he were diagnosed with a non-fatal disease in the hospital, he might not tell his family.

There's no point in saying it, it's better to make your parents feel better.

Liu Ping burst into tears again: "Lina is a very sensible child."

After the foreshadowing, Chen Yi got to the point: "After the verdict, why did you think of going to Yangcheng to stop a car?"

Liu Ping's reaction remained the same: silence.

It seems that the people who helped her didn't want her to speak. Although they understood, she still had to ask.

"There may be something wrong with the cause of Yan Lina's death."

After these words were spoken, Liu Ping suddenly looked up and stared at Chen Yi with shocked eyes. This news was like a bolt from the blue to her.

She didn't understand what negligence or accidents were, nor did she understand the law. She only knew that the person who indirectly caused her daughter's death was acquitted, and she couldn't accept it, that's all.

If there is a problem with the cause of death, doesn’t that mean the case is wrong?
"How did my daughter die?!"

The two sides were very close to each other. Liu Ping grabbed Chen Yi's arm and said urgently.

Chen Yi shook his head: "I don't know. What I just said was a possibility. Ms. Liu, please don't misunderstand me or make up your mind."

Liu Ping was stunned: "This..."

Chen Yi: "Did someone ask you to stop a car?"

Liu Ping withdrew her hand and stopped talking.

If there is really a change in the cause of Yan Lina's death, then the one who helped her is the benefactor of the Yan family. It is normal for her to obey his words and repay his kindness. She should not burn her bridges after crossing them.

Chen Yi advised: "Ms. Liu, this person's identity is very important. What did he say to you? Why did he ask you to stop the car? We need to ask him. Maybe... we can bring the suspect to justice."

Liu Ping clenched her fists and began to struggle.

Chen Yi struck while the iron was hot: "I know what you are thinking. Did he not allow you to speak? It doesn't matter. Since he asked you to stop the car, it means he is a good person. As long as he has not done anything, I will not do anything to him. On the contrary, if he has done something, I am sure you will not let him go, right?"

Being grateful is one thing, but if there is also hatred, then the hatred comes first and it is impossible to offset the gratitude.

Liu Ping was quickly persuaded by the suggestion of involving her daughter, but she hesitated: "I... I don't know him." Chen Yi: "Is he a man or a woman?"

Liu Ping: “Male.”

Chen Yi: “No name?”

Liu Ping shook her head: "No."

Chen Yi: "How old are you?"

Liu Ping: "About... in her twenties, very young."

Chen Yi: "You've seen his appearance, right? He wasn't wearing a mask, was he?"

Liu Ping: "I have seen him. He was not wearing a mask. He was a handsome guy."

Chen Yi: "Please bring me some paper and pen, Ms. Liu."

When he heard about paper and pen, Lin Chen immediately became alert. Damn it, I can finally be used!
From Suicheng to Jiangcheng to Yicheng, I am completely dispensable, okay? I can't help at all, just like a lazy person.

He was right in thinking that he was just trying to get by. Chen Yi's purpose of pulling him into the research team was the same as Xia Lan's: to gild his resume.

There is no such thing as absolute fairness. In principle, of course we should take care of our own family members without violating any rules. Lao Qi, the half-brother of Shengtian in the TV series, represents most people. Being free of desires and demands can only be found in temples and Taoist temples.

Lin Chen was eager to try it out, and did not forget to secretly go to see Xia Lan.

It's time for me to show my skills!

Liu Ping brought paper and pen, Chen Yi asked her to describe, and then Lin Chen drew.

A good portrait artist must not only accurately restore the description, but also provide appropriate guidance when the person describing the work is at a loss for words.

Some people have an outline in their minds but are unable to express it in words, which requires portrait artists to use their professional skills, to ask questions, and to try and error.

In fact, there is an internal standard for portrait artists. If they can perfectly reproduce a portrait in the mouth of a child, they are considered masters.

Children have limited vocabulary and poor expression skills. They don’t know how to describe what they see. What kind of nose? What kind of hair? What kind of eyebrows? What kind of mouth? They have it in their minds, but they can’t describe it.

How to draw if you can't describe it? Even the best painters can't do anything.

There is a difference between a criminal portrait artist and a painter.

Otherwise, why didn’t Chen Yi ask Lin Chen to study forensic medicine? This is very important. "Forensic Anthropology" includes feature recognition, which greatly enhances the ability of portrait painters.

Lin Chen is now capable of standing on his own, so it is well worth recruiting him.

As Liu Ping's voice sounded, Lin Chen started to paint quickly. After finishing each small part, he would let Liu Ping look at it. If it was wrong, he would change it. If it was not right, he would make minor adjustments. If it was completely correct, he would continue.

When Liu Ping was struggling to say it, Lin Chen used easy-to-understand guidance to teach Liu Ping how to say it. If she really couldn't say it, she could just try and make mistakes bit by bit, and she would get it right eventually.

Chen Yi was watching from the side.

The outline came out, the hair came out, the eyebrows came out, and the eyes came out.

When the nose came out, a look of surprise flashed across Chen Yi's face and he immediately stopped.

"Okay, stop drawing. I know who it is."

Lin Chen stopped writing and turned to look at Chen Yi.

"I also know who it is." Qin Fei spoke immediately.

Isn’t this Qin Lang? I just met him and he left a deep impression on me. Moreover, Lin Chen has superb painting skills and his features are very obvious.

"This boy."

Chen Yi couldn't tell how he felt, praise? Or dissatisfaction?

When you discover the problem, let the victim's family stop the car. Your intention is good, to seek fair truth, but why are you hiding it?

Even if you are worried that you have little influence in the bureau and dare not speak, the research team is already sitting in front of you today, so why are you still playing dumb?
Recalling the first time he met Qin Lang in the forensic room, Chen Yi felt that this guy was acting.

When asked about the autopsy report, he deliberately changed color.

When asked about the autopsy notes, he deliberately looked very slowly to deepen his suspicion.

When asked about the missing page, he pretended not to know.

What the hell is going on? Is he planning to keep his achievements and fame hidden behind the scenes, or is he waiting for the right time to make a decisive move?

The former is fine, but if it is the latter, it can be summed up in four words: clever.

"Team Leader Chen, who... who is he?" Liu Ping was also very curious about this person's identity.

Chen Yi stood up and said, "Let's talk about it later. I need to go see him now. Ms. Liu, you just wait for news at home. This case should be retried, re-investigated, and re-sentenced."

Liu Ping saw the necessity of stopping the car this time. It turned out... there was really a problem.

……

It’s 1:40 in the afternoon, and it’s not time to go to work yet.

Qin Lang is a local and his home is not far away. He rode his electric bike here. Before entering the gate, he saw Chen Yi standing at the door smoking.

He was startled and stopped the car quickly.

"Team Chen!"

Chen Yi put out his cigarette and waved, "Get in the car."

"Where?"

"You'll know when you arrive."

Qin Lang couldn't refuse. After putting the electric bike aside, he got into the business car with trepidation. There was only the driver Qin Fei in the car. Zhuge Cong and the others were waiting somewhere.

The vehicle started, drove for more than ten minutes and then stopped at a small park nearby.

At noon on a weekday, few people were wandering around the park.

"Come with me."

Chen Yi walked in front, and Qin Lang followed silently with his head down. When they reached the rest area, Zhuge Cong and others turned their heads at the same time.

"remarkably brave."

Qin Lang is younger than they thought. The fact that he asked the victim's family to stop the car shows that he has a strong sense of justice.

This is the case for those who have just joined the company, they have not yet been "contaminated" by the workplace.

Qin Fei said that he was a little fan of Chen Yi, and it seemed that he had been paying attention to Chen Yi all the time, but he didn't know how he got the itinerary of the research team.

Several people stood up to give seats to Chen Yi, and everyone stood around Chen Yi.

Qin Lang lowered his head even more.

"How do you know when I will return to Yangcheng?"

Chen Yi's words made Qin Lang's face suddenly change.

He didn't have any hope of luck, nor did he plan to lie again, because he had mysterious confidence in Chen Yi's ability to investigate cases. Since he had asked about it, it meant that he had found out.

While Chen Yi was speaking, Qin Fei handed over the unfinished portrait.

Qin Lang took it and took a look, then smiled bitterly and said, "As expected..."

"Answer the question!" Chen Yi didn't want to hear his compliments. Besides, what was there to compliment? Just ask Liu Ping and you'll know it's very simple.

Qin Lang shuddered and blurted out: "I have a friend in the Yicheng City Bureau!"

Chen Yi understood, that was very reasonable, and the City Bureau was well aware of the itinerary of the research team.

"I won't ask you anything else. Tell me if there is a page missing from the autopsy notes. Listen carefully. I will only ask you once."

What this means is that Qin Lang only has one chance.

Qin Lang did not hesitate this time and nodded: "Yes."

Chen Yi: "What is written on it? Please explain it in simple terms."

Qin Lang: "The deceased Yan Lina's chest and upper limbs were congested and purple-red."

Chen Yi's eyes narrowed slightly: "Suffocation?!"

Qin Lang nodded: "Yeah."

Chen Yi's eyes turned cold: "The chest turned purple and red, which means it is under pressure. Is it suffocating in the body position?"

Qin Lang: "It's most likely."

After learning that Yan Lina died of positional asphyxiation, Chen Yi understood the whole story of the case. This was not a simple accident.

Of course, it didn't reach the level of intentional homicide.

What bad luck.

Both the victim and the suspect had bad luck.

Misfortune befell Yu Zhanlin, and he really had to ask for death before he died.
