Chapter 210 Answer
The celebration and commendation meeting lasted until after eleven o'clock in the morning.

The leader did it on purpose. He ended it at this time so that he wouldn't have to provide lunch.

Otherwise, the total number of people attending the meeting from the first, second and third departments alone would be more than 300, and the chef in the bureau’s canteen would not be able to cook for so many people even if he worked himself to death.

On the way back, Li Yancheng kept thinking about the question that Su Xiaotong had just raised.

Is Li Xueyi dead? Whose body is that?

There has been no discovery of missing persons so far.

The body was burned into a charcoal-like state, and the intact skin on the body was not even big enough to fit into a palm.

The blood types were the same, both type O. When others saw this, they thought that the charred corpse was Li Xueyi's, and Wu Lihua also said so.

Although he thinks blood type is the least convincing thing, the fact is that now when solving a case, people with the same blood type will be considered to be the same person. This is a limitation of the times, just like the blood test in ancient times.

As for the saying that there is no way to use DNA to find someone through teeth, haha, I'm sorry, I don't even have a tooth mold, so who can I compare it with the tooth mold of the charred corpse?

Li Yancheng thought of cranial restoration. A few days ago, he drove to Tong County to consult a sculpture professor from the Academy of Fine Arts who is currently working in the countryside here.

After listening to his purpose, the professor said that he had seen related content in a foreign magazine, but that the person doing this job must have both anthropology and sculpture skills, with anthropology as the main focus.

Because no non-professional would spend the whole day studying bones, not even today's forensic pathologists.

Well, the thought that just came to my mind came to an abrupt end here.

The idea was dispelled, but he still had doubts about Li Xueyi's death.

He didn't think Wu Lihua was lying, but it was very likely that Li Xueyi was hiding something from her as well.

But if the charred corpse was not Li Xueyi, where could he have run to?
Hong Kong Island?
No, he believed that even if Li Xueyi escaped, he would definitely not choose to go to Hong Kong Island.

As a former director of a department, Li Xueyi knew very well how many people from here were on Hong Kong Island.

Even if he could not be said to have walked into a trap by fleeing there, he would have nowhere to hide, after all, Hong Kong Island is only the size of a palm.

If we really want to talk about hiding, China is actually the best place to hide at the moment.

For ordinary people, going out is inconvenient. Money and food coupons are trivial matters. The main thing is that they need a letter of introduction no matter where they go.

But for Li Xueyi, who was familiar with all this, it was not a big deal at all. What's more, he had the skill of engraving seals. He could just engrave a few fake seals, forge a few work permits and letters of introduction, and it would be a piece of cake.

Even when he returned to the office and sat in the clinic, he was still pondering it in his mind.

Now he also has an office in the Central Court, but he still has the habit of sitting in the front yard clinic whenever he has nothing to do, so that it is convenient for his colleagues to come to him if they are feeling unwell.

If he stayed in the office of the Intermediate Court, it would be very troublesome for the second-line staff in the front court to get some medicine.

"Sincerity"

"Hey, Director Wang, please take a seat."

"Don't bother?"

"You're very polite. I'm fine."

The visitor was Deputy Director Wang Hongli, who was in charge of second-line work.

It has been nearly four months since Deputy Director Wang was transferred to the First Division. His presence has always been very low. He just quietly does what he is supposed to do and manages the second-line work of the First Division in good order.

With him around, Lao Xu felt much more relaxed and could focus on solving the case without any worries.

It can also be seen from here that Deputy Director Wang is indeed a very good auxiliary talent.

But that’s about it.

In an organization like the Social Affairs Bureau, if you want to move up, you have to be a front-line worker.

Comrade Lao Wang knows very well that no matter how well he does in a certain place, if he wants to move up a level, he can only return to the bureau to serve as the leader of several second-line departments such as the office, finance or logistics. If he does not have some connections, it is basically impossible.

If you want to move up after reaching that point, it is impossible to get through simply by working hard.

As for the four front-line departments and the department leaders who directly provide technical support to the front line, a cadre like him with an administrative background has no chance of getting involved.

If some people find that they have no hope, they will lose their initiative in doing their work. As for the work, they just need to make sure they don't make any mistakes and do it carelessly.

But Wang Hongli obviously doesn't think so.

Now, both the director of the First Department, Xu Guishan, and Su Xiaotong, are the kind of people who have both the ability, achievements, and connections, and they are very likely to move up in the future.

Deputy Director Zhong and Deputy Director Guan in the bureau are both in their sixties and will not be able to work for many more years.

Xu Guishan is only forty years old, and there is a very high possibility that he will take over in the future.

What he was thinking about now was that he should cooperate well with the director in his work. If the director was promoted, he would not dare to think about the position of leader of the first-line departments, but he could still think about the positions of those second-line departments.

……

After asking Wang Hongli to sit down, Li Yancheng was about to pour her some water but was stopped. He then gave her a cigarette and sat down as well.

As for not allowing smoking in the health room, since Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong ignored it, he simply stopped caring about it.

We can't allow one person to smoke but not the other, that would be too ugly.

"Director Wang, I wonder why you are here..."

"Yancheng, I have a little matter that I want to trouble you with."

"Please go ahead." Li Yancheng felt a little curious and wondered why Deputy Director Wang wanted to see him.

"It's like this. Song Yongan and Yu Xinmei's cases have already been concluded and they are just waiting for the court to judge them."

"Yep!"

Li Yancheng nodded, feeling even more puzzled. He couldn't understand why Deputy Director Wang mentioned these two people again.

"I just want to trouble Yan Cheng to see if it's convenient for me to ask Yu Xinmei something."

???

"What do you want to ask?"

"It's about how her husband Fu Dongjie died three years ago."

"Fu... Deputy Director Wang, do you know Yu Xinmei's previous husband?"

“I don’t know him.” Comrade Lao Wang shook his head, sighed and said, “I don’t know him, but I have a cousin, and we are actually distant relatives. My cousin’s lover is Fu Dongjie’s aunt.

The news of Yu Xinmei's arrest has spread everywhere. There are all kinds of versions circulating outside. The most typical version circulating within the research institute is that Fu Dongjie's death three years ago was not due to overwork or illness, but was killed by Yu Xinmei. "

"I understand. Your cousin's lover's family was upset after hearing the rumor and wanted to find out the real cause of their child's death."

"That's right. In fact, when Fu Dongjie died, his parents raised objections. The old couple thought that their son had always been in good health, so why did he suddenly die of myocardial infarction? But that was the pathology report issued by the hospital at the time.

Although they reported the case to the Public Security Bureau, the police did not find any suspicious points after investigation, so they closed the case as death from illness.

Now that Yu Xinmei has been arrested and there are rumors outside, the old couple must be worried, so they asked my cousin to come to me and ask me to help them get to the bottom of it.

When he contacted me, the case had not yet been fully concluded, so I didn't dare to respond.

Now that the case has been completely closed, I just want to see if Yan Cheng can help me ask here."

Li Yancheng is now the deputy section chief of the pre-trial section. Su Xiaotong is temporarily serving as the section chief, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that this position is reserved for him.

The cases that were awaiting trial have been concluded and the criminals have been transferred to the detention center, so it would be difficult to bring them to trial again.

Although Wang Hongli is the deputy director, he does not have the power in this regard.

Although he could go and talk to the director directly, even if Lao Xu agreed to ask the question and issued a letter of introduction, he still had to go to the detention center for interrogation by Li Yancheng or someone he sent, so Lao Wang might as well just come here directly.

The hospital had issued a certificate as to how Yu Xinmei's husband died, so this question was not asked when she was arrested and interrogated.

Li Yancheng actually wanted to refuse, but then he thought that the two elderly people had lost their son, but they didn't even know the final cause of death, which might be the cruelest thing for them.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a while, then nodded and said, "Director Wang, since you have spoken, there is no problem in asking, but the procedure..." "I'll go and handle the formalities." Seeing Li Yancheng nodded, Old Wang quickly took over the other matters.

I was originally helping him, so I can't ask him to go through the formalities for me. That would be a bit too much.

"Thank you, Yan Cheng."

"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. I'm just asking. It's not a big deal."

"Then you take a rest first. I will go find the director now."

He had to leave without any hurry. The court's trial speed was very fast now. If he was slow, and the person was directly taken out for shooting after the verdict, there would be no way to ask him any more. He couldn't just ask someone to go down and ask.

Lao Wang was very fast. He started to go through the formalities right before lunch, and by around three in the afternoon, all the formalities had been completed. Both Director Zhong and Director Shen's names had been signed on the notice of interrogation.

What else is there to say? Let’s go to the Paoju Detention Center.

Li Yancheng drove the jeep and called Liu Tiecheng, who was once a member of the first team and is now a member of their pre-trial department, to accompany him.

The bureau has allocated a total of eight positions to the pre-trial department, including the section chief and deputy section chief, which means that eight more people can be recruited here.

Six officers have been drawn from the Investigation Section and Teams One and Two. They are said to be dedicated to pre-trial investigation, but in fact they will participate in the entire process of the preliminary investigation and the subsequent arrest. Only in this way can they fully grasp the case and be more targeted during the interrogation.

The personnel in the pre-trial department will not remain the same. Currently, the six people will work here for one or two years and then be replaced by other people. According to Lao Xu and Su Xiaotong, they want to train everyone to be all-round players.

Li Yancheng wanted to say that the pre-trial work was not that easy to do, but after thinking about it, he gave up and decided to just do his best.

……

Half an hour later, he met his old classmate Yu Xinmei in the interrogation room of the detention center.

It's only been a month, but she no longer has the charm she once had. Her hair is gray, her face is pale, and she can only walk slowly because of the handcuffs and shackles. At first glance, she looks like a middle-aged woman in her fifties.

As she was about to step into the interrogation room, Yu Xinmei looked up. The guard had just said that someone was coming to interrogate her. She and the others who shared the room with her were full of doubts.

Because she had been interrogated by court staff the day before yesterday, and according to other people who had experienced the same thing in the same room, she was now just waiting to be sentenced. But suddenly she was interrogated again for no apparent reason, and on a holiday, which made her very curious about who was interrogating her and why.

When she saw that the person sitting behind the table on the other side of the railing was Li Yancheng, a complicated look appeared on her face.

If possible, she really wanted to turn around and leave.

With the help of the guards, she sat on the chair. After being secured, she looked up at her old classmates and forced a smile on her face.

"Old classmate, haven't seen you for half a month."

Looking at Yu Xinmei, who was once pretty but now looks so old, Li Yancheng sighed silently in his heart. He stood up, walked out of the table and came to the railing.

"Yeah, I haven't seen you for half a month. How are you doing? Are you able to adapt here?"

"I think it's not bad. At least there are people here who can talk to me. It's better than your place. The only difference is that the food is not as good as yours."

"It's good enough to have something to eat, and you picked it."

"Yes, it's good to have something to eat." The smile on Yu Xinmei's face disappeared. She knew very well what she was going to face. It really was that one meal less would be eaten.

"Old classmate, please tell me, when can I see my parents?"

"That will have to wait until the court makes its verdict. Then you and your family will have a chance to talk."

"Then...is that my last chance?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Yu Xinmei's eyes. She hoped to hear some different answers from this old classmate.

"I can't answer your question." Li Yancheng shook his head and said, "You originally had a chance, but you gave up on your own. How should I put it? You used your own heart to save Song Yongan's heart."

"Oh..." Yu Xinmei sighed.

You can tell her regret from her sigh, but what's the use of regretting? It's too late.

"You didn't come here just to chat with me today, did you? What's the matter? I've already explained everything I can."

Yu Xinmei's face was full of questions. She felt that she had nothing to hide.

"I'm not here to chat with you, but I'm here to ask you something."

"whats the matter?"

"How did Fu Dongjie die?" Li Yancheng stared at Yu Xinmei's eyes through the railing and asked the question he wanted to ask word by word.

This question hit Yu Xinmei's heart like a heavy hammer, making her face turn even paler.

She looked up at Li Yancheng in a daze, as if she didn't expect him to suddenly come and ask this question. After a long time, a few tears flowed from the corners of her eyes.

"Old classmate, if I say that Dongjie's death really has nothing to do with me, will you believe me?"

"It is said that when a dying man is about to speak good words, I will choose to believe you." Li Yancheng said lightly.

"Yu Xinmei, I believe you have basically figured out what sentence you will receive for your crime during these few days in the detention center.

Come, calm yourself down first, look at me and answer the question I just asked again."

“My answer will be the same no matter how many times I answer it. Dongjie’s death really had nothing to do with me. He died of a myocardial infarction.

I admit that I am not a good woman. It was my restless heart that ruined me. I am indeed sorry to Dongjie, but his death really has nothing to do with me. "

"Okay, I believe what you said." Li Yancheng nodded, turned around and walked back to the table, leaned on it, and lit a cigarette for himself.

"I think this answer should reassure Fu Dongjie's parents. After all, they chose you as their daughter-in-law for their son. If you really killed their son, they may not be able to rest in peace in the future."

Yu Xinmei shook her head sadly: "I feel sorry for them and Dongjie. They were so good to me, but I... Alas, it's too late to say anything now.

Li Yancheng, please help me say sorry to them and tell them that I owe them money in this life and I will work like a slave in the next life to pay them back. "

"Well, no problem. I'll help you get this sentence. Well, I came here today just to ask this question. Now that I have got the answer, I should leave."

"Old classmate, can we meet again?"

"Not necessarily. I may be on a business trip recently and will not be in Beijing. I guess I won't be there when the court opens."

"You are a good police officer, keep it up."

"I will." Li Yancheng, who was leaning on the table, stood up straight: "Yu Xinmei, don't think about those messy things these days. Eat when you should eat and drink when you should rest. Things have already happened, we just need to face it calmly."

"Thank you"

Li Yancheng didn't say anything else, just waved his hand, signaling the guards to take her away.

"Chief, do you believe what she just said?"

Watching Yu Xinmei being taken away, Liu Tiecheng closed the notebook in his hand, stood up and asked.

"What does it matter whether it's true or not? This is the best answer. As I said just now, this answer can make Fu Dongjie's parents feel at ease.

Let's go, Tiecheng. Today's mission is completed. You don't have to go back to the office. I'll take you there directly."

"Hey, then let me thank you first, Section Chief. You don't have to send me off. My home is not far from here, just north of Yushu Hutong."

"Is this true? Please don't be polite."

"I'm not lying to you."

"Okay, then you can walk back by yourself."

……

It really doesn’t matter whether Fu Dongjie died at the hands of Yu Xinmei. Whether she admits it or not, she will die this time. Even if she admits it, there is no way she will be shot twice.

Instead, it will make the old couple, who are already sad because of the loss of their son, even more sad.

So the answer given by Yu Xinmei is the best answer.

Of course, Li Yancheng also believed her.
