Xu Sheng!

He knows this person very well!

The image of a university professor who was about fifty years old, gentle and polite but a beast in human clothing immediately emerged in Li Xiangnan's mind.

On the surface, this guy is an authoritative expert in child psychology, but secretly he is the core figure of the underground human trafficking network in Yanjing, nicknamed "Fourth Master"!

It was because of his wife Qin Ruobai's accidental discovery that Li Xiangnan, Guo Qian and other people from the Municipal Public Security Bureau discovered this group of bastards who made a living by eating human flesh hiding in Yanjing!

Following the clues, the investigation was carried out, and Song Zimo even made a cameo appearance as a man dressed as a woman, and the Fourth Master was successfully arrested.

That guy used the TV station to become famous, held many academic lectures and psychological counseling sessions, and portrayed himself as a leader in child psychology, gaining the trust of a large number of parents.

Based on this, he began to carefully screen targets, instructing criminal gangs to lure and traffic children, controlling one or two hundred children, and carrying out white-intentioned fraud in crowded places in Yanjing!

His case not only involved intentional injury, kidnapping, and extortion, but also serious rape and illegal drug cases.

The crimes are too numerous to list and the evil is heinous!

This Xu Sheng was knowledgeable, resourceful, and meticulous. The police had to work very hard to arrest him.

These days, Li Xiangnan has been asking Guo Qian a lot about the progress of his case.

According to Guo Qian, Xu Sheng is about to die. Faced with so much evidence and accusations, it is only a matter of time!

Li Xiangnan remembered that the information given by the public security department was that Xu Sheng was about to collapse under the questioning, and in fact he was cooperating with the public security department's record-keeping and evidence investigation.

Xu Sheng knew that he could not escape death, so he cooperated with the police as much as possible to reduce his crime. He wanted to live, at least to get a suspended death penalty or life imprisonment!

But how could such a highly intelligent criminal who recognized the reality die?

Li Xiangnan's heart skipped a beat after hearing Liu Yiming's words. He subconsciously felt that something was wrong. He grabbed his arm and asked, "What exactly happened? Where did he die? Wasn't he at the Municipal Bureau?"

If this happened in the Municipal Bureau, it would be a big deal. I'm afraid both Director Guo Qian and Director Zhang would be skinned alive!

"In his solitary cell in Yanjing Prison!"

"call!"

Hearing this, Li Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief, but immediately became alert again.

Yanjing Prison?

That doesn't make sense. How could he die in prison?

Ever since Shen Yujing got into trouble in Qincheng Prison last time, prisons across the country have been asked by their superiors to conduct self-inspections. Now that the storm has not yet passed, the discipline and requirements are unprecedentedly strict.

Yanjing Prison is located in Yanjing, and it is also the first unit to be subject to supervision and self-inspection!

"He committed suicide!" Liu Yiming said this angrily. "Advisor Li, what's wrong with this bastard? He didn't die sooner or later, but just when we were about to find a breakthrough, he actually committed suicide! Advisor Li, I absolutely don't believe this is a coincidence!"

Hanging himself?

Hanging suicide?

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan's brows frowned instantly.

According to Liu Yiming, this is indeed the case.

This is such a coincidence. He committed suicide just when he was about to find a breakthrough. This is definitely unusual.

There must be something wrong when things go wrong!

Li Xiangnan's heart moved again at the same time, and he quickly asked, "Are you going to ask about the drug case?"

Liu Yiming was stunned for a moment, then said, "Yes, Consultant Li...how did you know?"

That's right!

This is most likely an attempt to silence someone!

Li Xiangnan didn't answer him, but asked, "Did Captain Guo ask you to come to me?"

He guessed that Guo Qian must have guessed something, so he sent someone to find him.

"Yes, Captain Guo, Brother Wei, and Forensic Doctor Wang went to the prison as soon as they received the news. They asked me to come and pick you up!"

It’s really good!

Xu Sheng's death was too strange, and there must be a huge hidden secret behind it.

"Let's go!" Li Xiangnan waved his hand, "Zimo, let's go together!"

"Okay!" Song Zimo had been rubbing his hands in anticipation, and he almost jumped up with excitement when he heard that.

Li Xiangnan put on his coat, picked up the motorcycle keys on the table, and called out as he put on his clothes, "Director Zheng, Director Zheng!"

"What's wrong, Dean?" Zheng Qian ran out of the office with a teacup in his hand.

Li Xiangnan threw the car keys to her and instructed, "Please call my home and tell Ruobai I'm going to investigate a case. Then call Song Yi and ask her to accompany Ruobai! Also, give the car keys to Defa and ask him to help Ye Heng with the goat milk issue and take good care of Xiaobao..."

Hearing that the dean was about to go investigate the case, and was still so worried about his wife, and was so concerned about Xu Qiluo's child, Zheng Qian was very moved and nodded immediately: "Dean, don't worry, I will help take care of your family affairs, and I will also carefully deal with the hospital matters with Dean Wang!"

"it is good!"

Li Xiangnan then hurriedly led Song Zimo and Liu Yiming downstairs, and his mind quickly recalled the details of Xu Sheng's case.

This demon who was well versed in psychology and good at manipulating children's hearts chose to end his life by hanging on the eve of fully revealing his crimes?

It would be weird if there wasn't a ghost!

……

Yanjing Prison is located in the suburbs. It is the peak time for commuting at noon, and most of the time is wasted trying to leave the city.

By the time the jeep left the city, passed strict inspection, and drove into the prison's internal roads, two hours had passed.

Guo Qian had already been waiting at the prison gate and saw a pile of cigarette butts on the ground in front of him from a distance.

His face was pale and not looking good.

Standing next to him was Deputy Warden Shi, who was in charge with a serious and stern face.

When they met, there was no greeting at all.

As soon as the jeep stopped, Guo Qian led Li Xiangnan inside and said, "The scene has been cordoned off. The preliminary diagnosis is suicide."

"..." Li Xiangnan paused, a little surprised.

The original guess was that Guo Qian also suspected homicide, which was why he asked Liu Yiming to come to him.

Guo Qian spoke rapidly, as if explaining his own judgment, "He used torn strips of cloth to hang himself on the iron bars of the cell's vent!"

Li Xiangnan had just nodded when Warden Shi, standing beside him, quickly added in a serious tone, "Advisor Li, I checked last night's patrol records. Aside from the guards who made their regular rounds, no one else has entered or left this area! The doors and windows of the cells are intact, and we've also checked with the other prisoners on the same floor, and they haven't heard anything unusual!"

"Oh?"

Li Xiangnan pretended to be surprised and immediately asked, "What time was Xu Sheng found dead?"

As he asked the question, he suddenly glanced at his watch.

It was this action that immediately caused Warden Shi to break out in cold sweat on his forehead.

Guo Qian and Liu Yiming looked at each other and narrowed their eyes slightly.

They understood what Li Xiangnan was doing.

This is a reverse test of loopholes in prison management.

A person dies in prison, and the time of discovery is very important.

"Eight twenty-three!"

Li Xiangnan looked at Warden Shi calmly, "Warden Shi, do you remember it so clearly?"

"Xu Sheng's cell is in a single-person area, where serious criminals are held. Their schedules differ from those of ordinary prisoners. Due to the urgency of the investigation, the prison hasn't arranged for him to go out to ensure his safety. His mealtimes are from 7:30 to 8:00."

"Our guard brought the meal tray to the cell around 7:30 and knocked on the door to remind Xu Sheng to eat. Normally, the guard collects the meal trays at 8:00, but the first time he went over, he found that Xu Sheng hadn't handed in his meal tray, so he reminded him to collect it in ten minutes!"

"The second time I went there was at 8:10, and still nothing. The supervisor gave me a warning..."

Li Xiangnan nodded, raised his eyebrows and asked, "So when you went there for the third time at 8:20, the door was opened directly?"

"Yes!" Warden Shi nodded and continued, "The guard opened the door and discovered Xu Sheng had hanged himself. He immediately sounded the alarm and reported it to the prison. I received the message at 8:23. I checked my watch!"

Li Xiangnan turned around and exchanged glances with Guo Qian, who nodded slightly.

Comply with procedures.

"The Municipal Bureau received the call at 8:45!" Guo Qian said calmly.

There is a twenty-two minute gap in between.

Li Xiangnan looked at his watch again and stopped in front of the isolation gate of the prison area for serious criminals. Instead of moving forward, he turned to look at Warden Shi.

"Shi Jian, can you explain this 22-minute time difference and what you did? I need to know every minute of it!"
