As everyone stared intently, their own minds grew increasingly serious.

This report is more detailed than the previous missing persons reports, but that's about it.

The report stated that about six months after the Hu family's disappearance, the mining protection team in Gangshan mining area accidentally discovered signs of people entering and exiting an abandoned mine shaft during a patrol. They then explored the shaft and found two unrecognizable, burned corpses deep inside.

After receiving the report, Gangshan Police Station rushed to the scene to investigate and, after confirming the situation, immediately reported it to Luzhou Public Security Bureau.

After analysis and assessment, the bureau initially determined that the bodies were two male corpses.

Due to the limited technology available at the time, and the inability to determine the source of the body after a long period of exploration and investigation, the case ultimately became an unsolved mystery.

The case file also contained speculation that the body belonged to the missing male head of the Hu family, but ultimately, due to the misidentification of the body, it could not be investigated together with the Hu family's disappearance case.

The report was circulated among the police officers in the meeting room, eventually lingering for a while in the hands of Qi Zhiyuan and Fan Deting before returning to Li Xiangnan.

Tick, tick, tick.

The autumn rain fell from the eaves onto the windowsill, echoing in the quiet outside, making the meeting room even quieter.

The sound of rain grew louder.

But no one's heart was at peace.

The case has been investigated to this point, and although everyone is extremely unwilling to believe it, the fact is that it has come this far because of the information revealed by the second personality within Chen Hanguo!

Chen Hanguo mentioned the old coal mine, so everyone returned to Luzhou and immediately began investigating cases in the old coal mine area.

Thanks to the efforts of Li Xiangnan, Director Fan, and Director Qi, they actually found clues about a major case involving the Hu family and the mine!

This is simply unbelievable.

Even though the police officers were all atheists, they felt that this situation was somewhat mysterious!

Now, all the clues point to a confirmed tragedy, two of them, but both broke down at the crucial moment!

Four members of the Hu family have gone missing. What happened to them? What did they encounter?

What about the two male corpses in the mine?

What is their relationship with the Hu family? Is there any connection at all?

If one of the bodies is indeed Hu Jianjun, then who is the other one?

More than 20 years have passed, and the witnesses and physical evidence have almost disappeared. If we want to reinvestigate these two cases, where do we even begin?

But if we really want to investigate, are we going down the wrong path?

Are Chen Hanguo referring to these two cases?

What if everyone's direction is wrong?

In this suffocating atmosphere of despair, Li Xiangnan slowly raised his head. His still slightly damp hair clung to his forehead, which he gently smoothed. His eyes, however, were like lightning piercing the night sky, sharply looking at everyone.

"Director Qi, Director Fan, everyone!"

He slowly stood up from his seat, clutching the file tightly.

“We don’t know what happened back then, and we have no way to check the bodies from that time. The direct evidence has been broken! But we… still have the last, and possibly the only, living evidence that can know the whole truth!”

"You mean..." Qi Zhiyuan's eyes widened, as if he had guessed something.

“Yes, Director Qi, I want to ask Chen Hanguo again!” Li Xiangnan said, enunciating each word clearly: “Of course, not the boy, but the second personality, the one who may be a wronged spirit from twenty years ago. Call him out for questioning!”

The room was completely silent, except for the sound of people gasping for breath.

Li Xiangnan is right, and that is indeed the case!

If we really want to make a breakthrough in this case, we may really need to talk to the "eyewitnesses" from back then!

"Okay!" Qi Zhiyuan did not hesitate. By now, his trust in Li Xiangnan was completely genuine.

……

In the specially prepared interrogation room, Chen Hanguo was securely strapped to a special soft chair.

Behind the one-way glass was a large crowd of members of the special task force and numerous police officers; the air was so heavy it seemed as if water could drip from it.

Li Xiangnan sat in his seat, making notes in his notebook.

All eyes were drawn to him for a moment, and then to the thin figure waiting in the interrogation room.

Hong Chunlin kept swallowing, and when he saw that Li Xiangnan had finally finished reading the questions he had prepared, he came over to give him one last reminder.

"Dean Li, you must be careful. Chen Hanguo's personality is unstable, and excessive stimulation may cause him to have a mental breakdown."

“I know!” Li Xiangnan nodded, his gaze calm as still water.

Lu Hang pointed at Wang Defa, "But don't worry, our support team is ready. I've had someone prepare tranquilizers. If the situation gets out of control, I'll have Xiao Wang go in and give him an injection!"

"Hopefully we won't need it!" Professor Wang Ming patted Li Xiangnan on the shoulder and reminded him, "If you're ready, go in. We'll wait for your news outside!"

Li Xiangnan grunted in agreement, glanced at Qi Zhiyuan and Fan Deting, then turned and left the observation room, entering the interrogation room.

He stopped in front of Chen Hanguo, staring at him with eyes that seemed to pierce through his very soul.

"Chen Hanguo, the murderer Chen Hanguo!" Li Xiangnan's voice wasn't loud, but it had a power that reached the depths of people's hearts and pierced their souls. "I know you're here!"

Chen Hanguo remained unresponsive in the chair.

Li Xiangnan didn't take it to heart and continued to sit down in the chair opposite him in a calm tone, as if they were having a casual chat.

"Have you ever tried the rapeseed oil fried at the grain and oil shop in Laomeifang Alley? It's so delicious!"

"That cotton shop, when they fluff the cotton, it sounds like they're playing music, but the tune is just too monotonous! Clang clang clang, there's no sense of beauty at all!"

"But you know what, the old street wontons, with a little bit of their homemade sauce, are actually quite authentic!"

These words are an extremely bold exploration, a hypothetical reconstruction of the old coalfield alleyway's residential area.

If Chen Hanguo's second personality is indeed from that place, then he will definitely be able to understand Li Xiangnan's words.

Inside the observation room, everyone pressed their faces against the glass, holding their breath as they watched what was happening inside.

suddenly!

Chen Hanguo's eyelids twitched violently, and his breathing became heavy.

Li Xiangnan instantly caught this subtle change, and he changed the subject, his tone carrying an air of unquestionable authority.

"Unfortunately, someone doesn't want your family to taste even one more bite of the delicious Old Street Wonton!"

boom!

Chen Hanguo suddenly looked up.

"Shut up!"

Suddenly, a hoarse and violent roar burst from Chen Hanguo's mouth, and his eyes turned as fierce as a beast.

He struggled frantically in the chair, the restraints snapping and crackling from the tension.

"What the hell do you know! Those beasts, they're beasts!"

Everyone behind the glass was utterly shocked!

Personality Number Two was truly provoked by Li Xiangnan's few words!

He really came out!

However, Li Xiangnan showed no joy at this moment. Instead, his eyes revealed only sympathy and pity for Chen Hanguo. He suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Chen Hanguo's hand, and asked intently:

"Are you referring to those four people as animals, or to the neighbors?"

Upon hearing this, everyone in the observation room broke out in a cold sweat. They realized what incredible information Chen Hanguo had just revealed, and their expressions immediately became tense!

Yes!

Chen Hanguo's tone at this moment clearly showed that he had a problem with the people who pressed sesame oil, fluffed cotton, and sold wontons!

If something really happened to Chen Hanguo back then, what caused those "wronged souls" to continue harassing the old coalfield street and the mine?

There's a reason why things are haunted!

If we could know more about the four victims, it would undoubtedly help the police uncover deeper aspects of the street murder case!

Everyone, including Li Xiangnan, looked at Chen Hanguo, who was silently weeping and had suddenly fallen into an eerie silence...
