I became the police station's darling after I could understand what the furry creature was sayi

Chapter 104 An acquaintance? Also from Liu Family Village? Where did the money come from?

In the corner, there was a pile of brand-new paper money and treasures, next to which was an iron basin filled with black ashes from the burning.

It's only October now, Qingming Festival has been over for a long time, and the Ghost Festival was just two months ago. This paper money looks very new, like it was bought recently.

Whom did Liu Delong's family buy this to commemorate?

Xu Yunli responded softly, stood at the door of the storage room, and turned to look at Wen Lanjuan, who was holding a baby in the yard.

During their testing, whenever the child made a sound, Wen Lanjuan would immediately drop what she was doing, pick the child up, and hold the child in her arms to comfort her, just as the saying goes, "She's so precious, she's afraid the child will fall if she holds him in her palm, and so delicate, she's afraid the child will melt if she keeps him in her mouth."

It's unknown whether Wen Lanjuan will recall the memories of giving birth to Liu Chenglong when she sees this child.

My gaze swept over the baby products one by one. I didn't recognize the brands, but the materials all looked very good, definitely mother and baby grade.

"Let's continue the testing."

Xu Yunli looked away and didn't tell Wen Lanjuan that the child's jaundice had actually subsided quite a bit and there was no need to continue sunbathing.

Wen Lanjuan's current behavior has a strong sense of retaliatory compensation.

It's as if they owed someone something, and then made up for it by giving double the amount to this new life.

After the two finished their tests, they picked up their test kits, greeted the police officers at the police station, and left the yard, barely exchanging any words with Wen Lanjuan throughout the entire process.

We drove towards the village entrance.

Liujia Village seemed unusually lively today; during the hour or so of testing, we heard three or four firecrackers.

When the car arrived at the village entrance, it was found that the road into the village was blocked by four or five black cars, the lead one being an Audi A7.

"The villagers are getting rich now!"

As Brother Wang drove, he couldn't help but sigh, saying that he had been wanting this car for a long time, but unfortunately, his wife controlled all the finances and wouldn't allow it.

The cars finally all entered the village, and a group of people greeted them with smiles, as if they were important figures such as leaders.

Wang looked on curiously and saw the car door open automatically, and a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who looked to be in his forties or fifties, got out of the car.

The man wore black-rimmed glasses, had neatly styled hair, and a refined and gentle smile.

Brother Wang noticed that among the welcoming group, the leader's smile widened upon seeing the man. He quickly stepped forward, grasped the man's hands, and called out, "General Manager Liu."

Turning his gaze away, he caught a glimpse of Xu Yunli looking over there, even more engrossed than himself. Following his gaze, he discovered that Xu Yunli was looking at President Liu.

"Forensic Doctor Xu, is he someone you know?"

Xu Yunli is aloof and taciturn. Apart from cases, few people or things can attract his attention.

"Yeah, we met once, but we're not very close."

Xu Yunli withdrew his gaze and said calmly, "Let's go, Brother Wang, we still have a lot to do back at the team."

Brother Wang said "Okay," and then glanced at the Audi A7 one last time with reluctance. Even if he couldn't buy it, it was good to look at it some more before driving away.

……

As the investigation deepens.

The entire village's records were thoroughly investigated. Liujia Village is located in the upper reaches of the Yunqian River, backed by Yuncang Mountain. In earlier years, the villagers made a living by raising silkworms and selling the cocoons to peddlers who specialized in collecting them.

Although not as poor as Ankang Village or Qingyu Village, it is not considered wealthy.

Three or four years ago, due to policy adjustments and the joint charity efforts of companies like Xingyi Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., they directly produced and sold their own products, establishing a live-streaming studio for intangible cultural heritage products such as silk quilts and silk handicrafts. Part of the profits were used to build the village, and cement roads, streetlights, and automatic irrigation canals were all built in the last two years.

Liu Delong's family, as one of the first to escape poverty, built a house as soon as they had money, which is quite in line with the mindset of people who have lived in the village for a long time.

Can……

"Manying is a well-known international baby brand. Just one of their bottles costs nearly 500 yuan. However, Liu Delong and his wife's combined monthly income is less than 10,000 yuan, yet almost all of their baby products are from the Manying brand..."

Wang Yaqin is a new mother, so she naturally knows all the major baby brands. Even though she and her husband are locals in Hangzhou, they still need the financial support of their elders.

With her and her husband's combined salaries, they couldn't afford to buy their complete set. After all, the monthly expenses for diapers, clothes, and other items, not to mention baby formula and vaccines, would almost reach tens of thousands of yuan.

This is clearly not within the budget that Liu Delong's family can afford.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Liu Delong's family cherishes this son and is extremely concerned about the child's birth.

Then the problem is coming.

Where did all this money come from?
After the house was built, Wen Lanjuan became pregnant. According to her records, during her pregnancy, Wen Lanjuan only did odd jobs at home, such as handicrafts and silkworm peeling, and did not earn much, only three or four thousand yuan a month.

Liu Delong raises silkworms and tobacco, but because the scale is small, he only earns an average of five or six thousand yuan a month.

Spending so much money on daily necessities and consumables is clearly inconsistent with the couple's usual frugal habits.

"We have carefully investigated the couple's bank account statements and found nothing unusual, but we cannot rule out the possibility of cash transactions or other irregularities."

Based on Xu Yunli's description, Wang Yaqin quickly found the corresponding maternal and infant brand. While secretly admiring Xu's good eyesight, she was also quite surprised by the couple's spending level.

Such extravagant spending is clearly unusual, and the fact that they burned paper money on a non-memorial day suggests that the couple knew about Liu Chenglong's death beforehand. Even if the final test results indicate that Liu Chenglong was not murdered at home, it does not clear Liu Delong of suspicion.

But the problem now is...

They knew that Liu Delong was a prime suspect and that he was hiding something from the police, but because of his silence, the fact that the first crime scene had not yet been found, and the limited information that could be extracted from the remains due to their age, the case seemed to have reached a stalemate.

"Damn it, I don't believe that bastard can endure this much?"

Li Feng cursed under his breath. This time, the grandson he was referring to was Liu Delong.

Nearly 24 hours have passed, and Sun Delong has not asked about food or drink. The only time he made a request was to go to the toilet.

Despite the hardship, the police cannot fail to meet these basic requirements.

Nan Shu didn't speak. She was looking at the introductory text about Liujia Village on the projector, her gaze falling on the words "Xingyi Electronic Technology Company".

"Brother Li, is the general manager of this company named Liu Guangyao?"

"Hold on."

Li Feng was taken aback, somewhat puzzled by Nan Shu's sudden question, but he quickly typed on the keyboard and searched. Soon, the page popped up, and the names of Liu Guangyao were listed in the Chairman and General Manager columns.
