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

Chapter 504: Second Conversation with Hao Ruofei, Key Inference

The only sounds left in the conference room were those of people eating and occasionally the sound of someone typing on the keyboard.

When they were almost done eating, Hu Qingzhi slowed down his movements, looked at Chen Yi and said, "Captain Chen, if these two people really exist, do you think they are Yue Qing and Shi Lin?"

Since they are a pair, they must be a man and a woman, but they don’t necessarily have to be lovers. They can be brother and sister or sister and brother.

Yueqing and Shilin are siblings.

After interrogating Shi Lin twice, he had speculated that the person who gave the bracelet to Yushu might be Yueqing. Now that he had heard the news about the so-called "notorious bandit", it was easy to make the connection.

A brother and sister who came from a mountain village became famous bandits. They had a good reputation in the "industry" and people talked about it with relish, which sounded a little unreal.

Chen Yi was just thinking about this question, and now he spoke up: "It looks like it, but it doesn't seem right. Ruicheng and Mingcheng don't have any records of Yueqing doing dialysis for a long time, nor do they have any records of kidney transplants. If she has money, why doesn't she treat the disease?"

Hu Qingzhi: "That's right, did you go to other cities outside the province?"

Chen Yi shook his head: "Don't think about that for now. We don't have the police force to investigate now."

Medical records have not yet been connected to the national network, so it is impossible to confirm whether major surgeries have been performed on a monthly basis in a short period of time.

Cheng Hanjun said, "Let's not talk about the reliability of the news. Even if this pair of thieves really exists, they may not be related to the bracelet theft case, right?"

Rumors can spread like wildfire, and some rumors can become extremely outrageous over time.

Maybe I was just a battery thief, but for some special reasons I was deified and left behind the legend of a notorious thief.

It's the 21st century now. The phrase "rob the rich to help the poor" is too far-fetched and does not conform to the current national conditions and modern human nature.

Cheng Hanjun's words were very objective. Chen Yi was considering whether to pursue this clue.

Since it is a rumor, it is very difficult to investigate, and there may not be any results, and there is a high possibility that you will be working in vain.

Qin Fei spoke up at this time: "Rob the rich to help the poor. It's hard to check the rich, but you can check the poor. Has anyone really received life-saving money from heaven? If so, you should have seen it, right? Lin Chen is here, we can restore it."

Lin Chen straightened his back, feeling very good to be needed in the team. He was very glad that he did not throw away his paintbrush, and he was also very glad that Chen Yi became his brother-in-law and mentor.

Hu Qingzhi finished his meal, and his officers began to clear the table. He lit a cigarette and continued with Qin Fei's topic: "The workload is not small. Ruicheng has a population of 300,000. We don't have accurate intelligence. Do we have to visit everyone one by one?"

This is more police force than that required to check medical records in various hospitals.

Theoretically, it can certainly be implemented by mobilizing all the police stations in the city. If that doesn't work, people can be drawn from surrounding cities. In any case, the provincial and ministerial task force has great authority, and police forces in all localities are obliged to cooperate.

Qin Fei thought about it and nodded slightly. It was still difficult to operate. When he was not sure whether the clues were useful, he should try to avoid wasting a lot of police force and time and focus on other aspects first.

"Let's put it aside for now and investigate while we're at it." Chen Yi said, "We have already locked onto Hao Zhenlun. He was the first to be killed and was also responsible for selling the goods. This means that he is a key figure with a certain say among the four. No matter what the four victims did, Hao Zhenlun could be the mastermind."

"Qin Fei, share the clues Ming Cheng found with Captain Hu."

Qin Fei nodded: "Yes."

He looked at Hu Qingzhi and others, starting with Jiang Mingfu, then Zhong Liu, and finally the sudden appearance of Hao Zhenlun.

It has been confirmed that the bracelet theft case in Mingcheng and the serial murder case in Ruicheng are related, and the connection is quite close.

The more Hu Qingzhi listened, the more surprised he became. His mind worked quickly and he immediately understood: "In other words, if we find out where Hao Zhenlun got the board material, we will be able to identify the real culprit?"

Chen Yi nodded: "This is the current situation. I suspect Shi Lin. He is from Yuluo Village and is related to the bracelet. Tu Xiangnan went to Mengzhu Town when he encountered financial problems. He is missing now. We have to consider that the two sides have had some intersections in the past."

The topic ended with Shi Lin. The problem now was to find the brother and sister as soon as possible.

Hu Qingzhi tried it, but there was indeed no trace.

The meeting lasted until after nine o'clock in the evening, when Liang Qidong's phone rang.

Chen Yi, who was speaking, fell silent and looked over. There should be news from Yuluo Village.

"Hello?" Liang Qidong answered the phone immediately, listened for a while and asked two more questions, the content involved the village doctor, "Okay, I get it, you stay in the village for one night and come back tomorrow. Safety first, the mountain road is not easy to walk at night."

After hanging up the phone, he relayed it to Chen Yi.

Yueqing is a doctor, but she is not yet a certified doctor.

The village doctor in Yuluo Village has a tradition. The older generation passes on their lifelong knowledge to the younger generation, and the younger generation will become the village doctors after completing their studies. They can treat colds, flu, injuries, etc., and even difficult and complicated diseases such as angina pectoris, diabetes, gout, headaches and high blood pressure can be treated with reasonable medication under limited conditions.

There are three young people studying medicine in this generation, two men and one woman, and the woman is Yueqing.

It's quite sad to say that a girl who wanted to devote her life to medicine was eventually diagnosed with uremia. I don't know what Yueqing felt at that time.

The profile matches.

[Female, from Ruicheng, age unknown, may be proficient in medicine, well-informed about toxicology, familiar with the jade industry, and had a close relative who died under abnormal conditions before the incident].

A village doctor in a mountain village must be aware of the toxicity of plants.

As long as it is confirmed that Shi Lin is dead, Yue Qing is a suspect.

After a long silence, Chen Yi spoke: "Send a joint investigation to all cities in Yunzhou to find the whereabouts of Yue Qing and Shi Lin. I have a feeling that this person is the key to this case."

Hu Qingzhi: “Yes!”

After the meeting, the task force left the Municipal Bureau and returned to the hotel to rest.

Chen Yi was a little insomniac tonight. He smoked several cigarettes on the narrow balcony before lying down on the bed.

Fang Shuyu didn't sleep either. He knew that Chen Yi was thinking about the problem and waiting. The results of the investigation in Mingcheng this time should have given him a clear direction, and he even had a guess about the result with a high degree of accuracy.

All previous cases were like this, and now it’s time to clear the fog.

Since the case has not been progressed quickly, it means that we have encountered difficulties again. For example, finding Yueqing's sister and brother is a problem. Who knows where they are in such a huge crowd of people?

"Shi Lin might be dead." Chen Yi said whatever he wanted to say to Fang Shuyu.

"Dead?" Fang Shuyu's face changed slightly. Thinking back to the meeting of the task force at the Municipal Bureau tonight, she roughly understood what happened. "Did Hao Zhenlun and the others do it?"

Chen Yi: "It is speculated that they did it. Of course, they are not necessarily dead. Perhaps their condition is not optimistic, such as severe disability."

Fang Shuyu: "Is Yueqing avenging her brother?"

Chen Yi: "We have never ruled out the possibility of revenge killing in this case. I am sure that Jiang Mingfu was used as a pawn. As for Hao Zhenlun... I have to talk to his mother tomorrow."

Fang Shuyu's mind flashed to that beautiful and elegant woman, and she said, "I'll go too."

Chen Yi nodded: "Okay, just the two of us, there will be fewer people."

……

The next day, Chen Yi told He Shixin and the others about this, and then he and Fang Shuyu finished their breakfast and went straight to the community where Hao Ruofei lived.

It's half past eight now, and I don't know if Hao Ruofei is awake yet.

Having lost her own child, she probably has no mood to sleep in.

After showing his ID and entering the community, Chen Yi did not choose to knock on the door, but went to the backyard like last time.

Coincidentally, Hao Ruofei was wearing a light green dress and was taking care of the blooming roses with a watering can in her hand.

Next month is the rainy season in Ruicheng, but it hasn't rained much in recent times. For a subtropical city, drought is inevitable.

No wonder the roses in the yard grow so well; it’s the result of the owner’s careful care.

Hao Ruofei was still as exquisite as last time, with her hair tied up, looking delicate and shiny in the morning sun. The occasional strands of hair that hung down added a sense of layering, like the most beautiful colors in a painter's brush.

Without talking about her personality and only looking at her appearance, it is definitely a loss for Jiang Mingfu to lose Hao Ruofei.

He had already seen the basic information of Jiang Mingfu's wife in Mingcheng. She looked average, had some business background, and her father was in the watch business in Mingcheng.

Initially, it was determined that Jiang Mingfu was imitating Chen Shimei in a TV series. The two stood at the gate for a while, and Hao Ruofei turned around to look over.

When she found out it was Chen Yi, she hesitated for a moment, then walked forward with a watering can, opened the gate, and continued to take care of the roses without saying a word.

Chen Yi didn't care about the other party's attitude. After going through so many things, it was very rare for him to be able to maintain a good mood.

He stood there and watched for a while, then broke the silence: "I just came back from Mingcheng. Jiang Mingfu has been detained and is awaiting further investigation."

Hearing this, the mist from the spray bottle stopped abruptly. Hao Ruofei was petrified for two seconds, and then continued to press the switch of the spray bottle.

The rose petals tremble, enjoying the sweet rain they have been waiting for all night.

"I don't know who Jiang Mingfu is."

Perhaps out of politeness, Hao Ruofei still responded.

Chen Yi sighed, "Ms. Hao, let's be honest with each other. The DNA paternity test of Hao Zhenlun and Jiang Mingfu has been completed."

Wow!
The amount of water in the spray suddenly increased. Hao Ruofei's body trembled. He turned his head slowly with a look of astonishment in his eyes: "You..."

Chen Yi continued, "I'm sorry, Jiang Mingfu already knows about it, because our police need his confession, but unfortunately, he still said nothing."

Hao Ruofei has a strong ability to withstand pressure. After experiencing the great grief of her son's death, everything else is just a drop in the bucket for her.

After a long silence, her voice rang out: "What confession? What did he do?"

Chen Yi: "I can't tell you yet. You will know once the evidence is solid and conclusive."

Until the case is closed, it cannot be said with 100% certainty, and he will not talk too much with the victim's family during the investigation.

Hao Ruofei put down the watering can and picked up the scissors, and began to trim the extra branches of the rose to make it grow better. As she trimmed, she spoke: "Captain Chen, did you come here to talk to me about Jiang Mingfu? Is he related to Zhenlun's case? Or is it Captain Chen's personal curiosity?"

Chen Yi: "Let's mainly talk about Hao Zhenlun. If it's convenient... we can also talk about Jiang Mingfu."

Hao Ruofei responded immediately: "I don't want to talk about this person. Captain Chen is very smart. I will just keep it simple. He threw me away for his career. Do you understand?"

Chen Yi: "Of course I understand. Jiang Mingfu's father-in-law can give him a lot of help in his career. I know that."

Hao Ruofei stopped talking, using silence to indicate the end of the topic.

"Do you love him very much?" Chen Yi asked.

"Captain Chen." Hao Ruofei reminded.

Chen Yi said, "Okay, I understand. I have a question for you about Hao Zhenlun. Is it possible that he knows that his father is Jiang Mingfu? This is very important. I hope Ms. Hao will answer it seriously and not perfunctorily."

The scissors in Hao Ruofei's hand fell, and with them fell the broken branch of the rose. He said, "It's possible. There is a photo of Jiang Mingfu at home. Although I kept it very secret, he may have seen it after so many years."

Chen Yi: "Didn't he ask you about the photo?"

Hao Ruofei shook his head: "No, I told him that you don't have a father. I will never tell you who your father is. Forget it."

"And... I also said something harsh. Even if you find out who your father is one day, if you dare to recognize him and sever the mother-son relationship, you should get as far away as possible."

Chen Yi understood some more details.

It seems that Hao Zhenlun listens to his mother very much and dares not disobey her either mentally or behaviorally.

It can be felt that Hao Ruofei is a person with a strong charisma. Hao Zhenlun grew up under the protection and education of Hao Ruofei for many years, and he is probably a little afraid of her.

"Thank you, I have no problem."

The brief conversation didn't even last more than five minutes. Chen Yi thanked him and turned to leave, which made Hao Ruofei somewhat surprised.

I thought I would have to chat with this young detective for a long time again.

"Captain Chen." Hao Ruofei called out to him. She always felt that there was something strange about the other party's visit this time. She couldn't put her finger on it, but she felt inexplicably uneasy.

Maybe, Jiang Mingfu was mentioned suddenly?

Chen Yi turned around and said, "Ms. Hao, is there anything else?"

Hao Ruofei hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "It's okay, take your time."

"Ah."

Chen Yi nodded, and he and Fang Shuyu left the community and got into the car.

Sitting in the car, Chen Yi did not start the car, his brows were deeply furrowed. Fang Shuyu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, said nothing to avoid disturbing Chen Yi's thoughts.

She knew Chen Yi very well. At this moment, his mind should have been activated and he had ignored everything in the outside world.

"It can't be such a coincidence. The relationship between Hao Zhenlun and Jiang Mingfu... must not be a secret."

"Hao Ruofei won't tell you, Jiang Mingfu doesn't know, so the source must be Hao Zhenlun."

Chen Yi muttered to himself.

He sorted out the six doubts in his mind again.

First, who stole the bracelet, why did he steal it, and why did he give it to Yushu.

It is now suspected that Shi Lin did not have the ability to commit the crime, and Yueqing is a female, so the person who stole the bracelet should be a third person who knows Yueqing's siblings.

Not only know each other, but are very familiar with each other.

Second, where did Hao Zhenlun get the priceless jadeite?

It is now suspected that it was snatched from Shi Lin.

Third, what was Tu Xiangnan doing in Mengzhu Town?

Now I suspect I am just trying my luck. After the first time, I want to have a second time.

Fourth, what disease did Jiang Yanyan have, who cured Jiang Yanyan, who provided the method of Sixiang's life-extending, who asked Jiang Mingfu to buy the bracelet, why did he happen to buy the one sold by Hao Zhenlun, and why did the perpetrators accurately target four people in Ruicheng who knew each other and Jiang Mingfu's illegitimate son.

Is it Yueqing?

Fifth, whoever did it killed Hao Zhenlun and three others.

Unless Jiang Mingfu speaks up, it will be extremely difficult to investigate this matter.

Sixth, where are Shi Lin and Yue Qing, and why did they disappear?

Based on the above judgment, the answer is obvious, one may be dead and the other may be hiding somewhere.

Six doubts flashed by quickly, and Chen Yi focused on the second half of the fourth doubt.

Why did the perpetrator accurately target Jiang Mingfu’s illegitimate son?

Hao Ruofei wouldn't say it, and Jiang Mingfu didn't know about it, so it must have been Hao Zhenlun who told it.

Who would he tell? Tu Xiangnan and the others?

No, with such a secret matter and the pressure from Hao Ruofei, it is unlikely that Hao Zhenlun would bring it up on his own initiative. Even if he let it slip one day, or someone deliberately snooped around, the person most likely to make Hao Zhenlun speak, and the one most likely to catch him off guard, should be... the beauty in bed.

He remembered that Hao Zhenlun's last girlfriend was An Yinzhi.

"An Yinzhi is an orphan."

There was a gleam of insight and wisdom in Chen Yi's eyes, and this was most likely a key inference.
