Chapter 576 Money?
Li Yancheng didn't want to say anything else at this time.

This kind of thing happened in the detention center, and the entire Public Security Bureau was ashamed. Although the detention center was not under his charge, in the eyes of outsiders, they were one and the same.

What's more, this case involves him. It is the trust of his leader that gives him the opportunity to sit here and preside over the case. Otherwise, no matter how great his suspicion is, he will be asked to avoid this case.

Faced with Li Yancheng's question, Zhao Yanan shook her head in confusion and nodded again.

"Section Chief Zhou told me that you wanted to ask me something about Yue Pingxin, and he didn't say anything else."

Just at this moment, Section Chief Zhou, who had brought Zhao Yanan over, poured a glass of water and brought it over.

"Teacher Zhao, please drink some water."

"Thank you, Chief Zhou."

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhao. Please take a seat. Director Li, I'll take people to Yue Pingxin's parents' home now."

"Okay, go ahead. I have to clarify the issues I mentioned."

"Yes"

Section Chief Zhou's trip to Yue Pingxin's parents' home was not only to investigate, but also to inform them of Yue Pingxin's death. After the case is investigated thoroughly, he will also ask them to collect the body.

And this also involves the issue of possible compensation. No matter what the reason, the person died in the detention center.

Letting Section Chief Zhou go first can also act as a buffer. His position is just right and he can be considered a small leader. After all, he is a section chief. We can talk first. It would be best if we can reach an agreement. If that doesn't work, then let the leader come forward.

After watching Section Chief Zhou leave, Zhao Yanan put the cup of water he had just received on the table and asked hesitantly, "Director Li... Director Li, has Yue Pingxin... has he... had any trouble again?"

"He's dead. He was murdered."

"What?" Li Yancheng's few short words startled Zhao Yanan so much that she stood up suddenly with a look of shock on her face.

"He...he died? But...but...was he released yesterday?"

"The reason why I invited you here is because he died here. He was killed by another prisoner in the same cell as him."

"Ah?" Zhao Yanan sat back in the chair in a daze, looking somewhat distracted.

Although she had long wished that her scoundrel ex-husband would die, that was just a thought. Now that he was really dead, it was a little hard for her to accept it for a while.

Seeing her like this, Li Yancheng didn't rush to ask anything. He reached out and picked up the cup he was using on the table and drank a sip of water. After putting the cup down, he cleared his throat.

"Cough...cough..."

"Ah? Oh, Li... Director Li, what do you want to know about Yue Pingxin that you asked me to come over? I don't really know much about him right now."

Seeing that the interrogation had officially begun, a police officer from the headquarters who had been paying attention to this side hurriedly pulled a chair over and sat down, opening his notebook to take notes.

"It's like this, Teacher Zhao. Yue Pingxin has been out of prison for more than two years. As far as we know, his family has never liked him, so he didn't live at home, but lived in the home of a cellmate.

But he has never had a job. Do you know where the money he spends comes from?"

"Uh... I really don't know about that." Zhao Yanan shook his head and said, "If you hadn't told me, I really would never have thought about money. He seems... seems to have no shortage of money since he was released from prison."

"You mean to say that he has never lacked money since he was released from prison?"

"Now that I think about it, it's really like that."

"How do you know he has enough money to spend?"

"We were having dinner at a restaurant. I never paid much attention to this until you mentioned it, Chief Li. I remember that he came to see me two or three days after he was released from prison. I was very scared at the time and called the police using our school's phone.

When the policeman from the police station arrived, Yue Pingxin said that he came to see me just to treat me to dinner, at a restaurant not far west of our school, and he had already ordered the dishes.

The police officer went to the restaurant to ask, and found out that it was true. The guy ordered four dishes, all meat. Not counting the food coupons, the money alone cost nearly ten yuan.

Since then, he would come to see me every now and then, and every time he would treat me to a meal, but I never went, and... and I also found out that he was very wasteful when smoking, and would only smoke half a cigarette before throwing it away.

Also, it should have been three or four months after he was released from prison. One day I saw him in a department store with my colleagues, but he didn’t see me. He was buying a watch at the time…”

???

"Teacher Zhao, please wait a moment."

Hearing this, Li Yancheng seemed to have thought of something. After a slight pause, he reached out and rummaged through a pile of documents on the table. He quickly pulled out a few pages of paper and began to read them carefully.

Seeing this, Zhao Yanan stopped talking and just sat there quietly looking at Li Yancheng's profile. As she looked, she felt like her saliva was about to flow down and the regret in her heart became even heavier.

She felt that she was really blinded by love back then and missed such a good man.

In fact, she had no idea what Li Yancheng was like in real life. She just saw him and Luo Min taking a walk after dinner several times. They were talking and laughing, and sometimes the two children were there too, and the family was very happy.

She felt that this was the kind of life she wanted.

Over the years, she often asked herself why she put forward that condition, which she herself felt was a bit excessive, when they first met.

The answer to this question was vague only when she and Li Yancheng spoke again on the 3rd after more than ten years.

It’s your own mentality.

At that time, she had a problem with her mentality. First of all, she had just been unilaterally ended in a relationship by someone else, which hurt her deeply.

Secondly, Li Yancheng was not only several years older than her, but also divorced. She thought that although she had dated someone before, she was still a virgin after all, and it would be a shame to date a divorced old man.

It was based on this mentality that she looked down on Li Yancheng at the time, thinking that you are divorced and have no family support, but you can meet someone like me who is good-looking, has a job, is a teacher, and has a good family background. Not only does she not despise you, but she is also willing to go on a blind date with you. Why don’t you just kneel down and lick her?

But what she didn't expect was that Li Yancheng didn't indulge her at all.

Now, whenever she thinks of what happened back then, she would shake her head and laugh, feeling bitter in her heart.

At such a close distance, Li Yancheng of course felt that Zhao Yanan was looking at him. He could also vaguely guess what this woman was thinking and what others were thinking. He didn't want to care, nor could he care, as long as it didn't affect his life.

What he is reading now is the confession given by Yue Pingxin yesterday morning. He found it. Yue confessed yesterday that he didn't have a watch and couldn't tell the time.

"Teacher Zhao, you said you saw Yue Pingxin buying a watch in a department store two years ago?"

"right"

"Did he buy it?"

"Uh... I don't know if he bought it at that time. I left as soon as I saw him. But later I saw him wearing a watch. Oh, he was wearing a watch the afternoon before yesterday, on his left hand. I saw it when he pulled my clothes."

He was still wearing a watch the day before yesterday afternoon? Li Yancheng frowned.

When he was caught at night, he definitely wasn't wearing a watch, otherwise his lie that he didn't have a watch and couldn't tell the time would have been self-defeating.

What about his watch?
Also, where did he get the hammer and bucket in his hands when he went to destroy his car in the middle of the night?
"Teacher Zhao, didn't you ask Yue Pingxin where his money came from?"

"I don't even have time to hide from him, so how could I ask him these questions? I have never cared about this." Zhao Yanan shook his head hurriedly.

"When Yue Pingxin came to see you, I believe he didn't want to do anything to you. The reason why he harassed you so many times was probably because he wanted to remarry you and be together again. Teacher Zhao, am I right?"

"Uh..." Zhao Yanan's face turned red when asked.

"Yes... yes, he wanted to remarry me, but I never agreed. I will never make the same mistake a second time."

Li Yancheng didn’t care whether he made any mistakes or not, he just wanted to know what he wanted to know.

"Since Yue Pingxin wants to remarry you, he must tell you about his future plans, such as how he will live in the future. He doesn't have a job, so he can't rely on your salary to support him, right?"

"This..." Zhao Yanan was stunned by the question. He moved his mouth and wanted to say something, but before he could finish his words, he frowned and lowered his head slightly, as if he was recalling something.

She looks like she might be able to do it.

Li Yancheng raised his eyebrows, without interrupting her thoughts, he reached out and picked up the cigarette on the table and lit it.

At this moment, he noticed a figure at the door of the conference room. He turned around and saw that it was Guan Weidong. Seeing that the leader had noticed him, Guan Weidong walked over and bent down to whisper in Li Yancheng's ear.

"Leader, I have sent Chief Luo to school."

"Um"

"Chief Luo asked me to tell you that you should take care of your health."

"okay, I get it."

"Leader, is there anything you need me to help you find?"

"I'm fine here. Go and see if Mr. Zhu needs any help." Li Yancheng shook his head.

He saw information everywhere, but he actually didn't know what he was looking for. He was just looking around aimlessly.

"Yes"

After responding, Guan Weidong walked to the other end of the oval table in the conference room.

"Director Li," At this time, Zhao Yanan, who had been thinking with his head down, also raised his head.

"Hmm? What did you remember?"

"I vaguely remember that when Yue Pingxin came to see me for the second or third time after he was released from prison, he did mention something to me, but I was annoyed just by seeing him, so I didn't take his words to heart.

I only vaguely remember him saying that he met a very capable person in prison, and told me to follow him and he would guarantee that I would have good food and drink in the future, and that I could go out to eat every day even if I didn’t have to work. I guess that’s what he meant.”

"Did you meet a very capable person in prison?" Li Yancheng repeated the sentence with some doubt.

"Yes," Zhao Yanan nodded and said, "That's what he told me. I didn't take his words to heart at all."

"Does that mean that he made all his money by following that person?"

"I don't know about that. I don't care about his affairs at all. If he didn't come to harass me so often, I wouldn't want to see this person in my life."

Now her wish has come true, but she will definitely not see him again in the future.

"As far as you know, is it possible for his family to give him money?" Li Yancheng continued to ask.

"I don't know. Ever since his parents came to our school to cause trouble and were arrested by the police, I haven't seen his family since then. His family lives in Wenchong, near Taifeng. Unless they come here on purpose, we rarely see them outside."

"prison!"

Li Yancheng did not ask any more questions, but pondered over what Zhao Yanan had said before. He muttered softly, while his left hand on the table tapped lightly and rhythmically.

"Dongjun..." After muttering several times, he suddenly raised his voice and called out.

"Here." Zhu Dongjun, who was asking Guan Weidong to help him look up something, stood up immediately when he heard his leader calling him.

"Find a way to contact the person who visited Yue Pingxin's cellmate and ask him if he knows who Yue Pingxin was close to in prison. Then contact the First Prison and find the warden who was in charge of him back then."

"Yes"

After "Teacher Zhao" finished giving the instructions, Li Yancheng's gaze fell on Zhao Yanan again.

"Director Li"

"Can you still remember what Yue Pingxin said to you?"

"Nothing else was said. He came to see me but didn't dare to enter our school because the police officers at the police station had warned him that if he entered the school and made trouble, he would be arrested.

So every time he came, he only dared to stay at the school gate and asked the old man in the message room of our school to help pass the message to me.

The uncle in the message room knew what was going on between him and me, and he didn't bother to pay attention to him. He would often come over three or four times before notifying me once, and even that time I might not go out.

On the afternoon of the 4th, he was pulling me on the street because he had been there several times and hadn’t seen me. ”

At this moment, Li Yancheng had the urge to use his own method to help Zhao Yanan recall the past, but after hesitating for a moment, he gave up.

He decided to follow the previous arrangement and start investigating among Yue Pingxin's contacts first. If all other avenues failed, he would then consider this side.

Because normally, although Yue Pingxin is obsessed with remarrying Zhao Yanan, his way of making money must not be very legitimate. In this case, he will definitely not tell others about his way of making money. Therefore, the woman in front of him may not have any relevant detailed information.

Moreover, according to what she said herself, they didn't see each other very often, and when they did, they probably quarreled and were impatient with each other, otherwise what happened the day before yesterday where they were pulling and tugging on the street and even tore their clothes wouldn't have happened.

"Teacher Zhao, do you know Yue Pingxin's closest friends?"

"I knew two or three before, but I don't know now."

"Okay, just give us a list of the people you know, and it would be best if you could include their work and home addresses."

Li Yancheng signaled to the police officer who was in charge of taking notes and asked him to hand over the paper and pen.

After receiving the paper and pen, Zhao Yanan was about to write when he suddenly raised his head and asked, "Director Li, can I ask why that man wanted to kill Yue Pingxin?"

“That’s what we want to figure out.”

"Uh...didn't that person tell you?"

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Zhao. We have a rule that during the investigation, the specific details of the case cannot be disclosed to outsiders at will."

"Ah? Oh, I see. I'll write a list for you."

Soon, Zhao Yanan wrote down what she knew about the three friends that Yue Pingxin often interacted with before she was imprisoned, and also wrote down the work units and home addresses of these three people.

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao, for your cooperation. I'm sorry to have kept you for so long. I'll arrange for someone to take you back now. If any leaders at the school say anything, we can explain it to you."

"It's okay. I just came here after leading the morning reading. The next class is the last one, so it's still early."

After thinking for a while, Zhao Yanan extended his right hand to Li Yancheng.

"Director Li, if you want to know anything else about Yue Pingxin, as long as I know something, you can come to me at any time. I will tell you everything I know."

"Thank you. We will inform you when we get the results."

Li Yancheng smiled and nodded, lowered his eyes to look at the hand that was extended, and without hesitation, stretched out his right hand and shook it. However, he did not shake it firmly, but just lightly touched the fingertips of Zhao Yanan's right hand and then retracted it.

The fleeting warm touch made Zhao Yanan's heart beat faster, but unfortunately it was too short, and she withdrew her right hand with a sense of loss.

It was not until she got into the car that she came back to her senses from her reluctance. This interrogation was the most they had talked in the more than ten years since they had known each other, although it was all about Yue Pingxin.

"Comrade, thank you very much. I'm sorry to bother you with this trip." Zhao Yanan said, looking towards the driver's seat.

"You're welcome, Mr. Zhao. We should be the ones thanking you for cooperating with us." Guan Weidong, who was driving, glanced in the rearview mirror.

All the other cars were out investigating and visiting, so Li Yancheng could only let Xiaoguan make a trip.

"Comrade, you are Director Li..."

"I'm Director Li's driver."

"Director Li, did he not sleep all night last night? I see his eyes are bloodshot."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhao, I have no right to interfere in the leader's private affairs."

Having hit a setback that was neither soft nor hard, Zhao Yanan, who was sitting in the back seat, curled her lips, stopped talking, and turned to look out the window.

She couldn't tell why, but as she sat in the car and looked outside, seeing the envious eyes of people on the roadside looking at the car, she always felt that her mentality seemed to have changed a lot.

that power!

After thinking for a while, she felt that it was the power in the hands of the owner of the car that gave the car a different meaning. Similarly, it also caused significant changes in the moods of other people sitting in the car.
