Live with the forensic chief

The interrogation of Pan Xianzheng continued into the afternoon.

Lin Pu sat in the observation room and listened all the time. Pan Xianzheng admitted everything the police asked him, and his confession attitude was quite sincere.In fact, Lin Pu felt that there was nothing he couldn't admit, but he was forced to listen to what happened back then. In the past few days, he turned his own story upside down and repeated it, which made him a little numb.

"Are you hungry?" Shu Meng looked at the time and asked Lin Pu, "I'll go buy you something to eat."

"Okay." Lin Pu said absently, "Just buy something."

Shu Meng put on his coat and got up to go out. He just took two steps and said something to the outside, half of his body was outside.Then he excitedly said to Lin Pu: "Baby! Hurry up! They said that the mother-in-law admitted it! She said it all!"

"...What?" Lin Pu stood up at once.

Zhang Yong, who was about to fall asleep next to him, woke up suddenly and stood up: "Did you say it?"

"Well." Shu Meng said, "They said to let Officer Zhang go."

"Okay." Zhang Yong immediately rubbed his face, patted his face and said excitedly, "I'll come."

When he walked past Shu Meng, he suddenly remembered something, and glanced at Shu Meng: "Hey, what did you call Xiao Lin just now?"

Lin Pu: "..."

Shu Meng: "..."

"Baby?" Zhang Yong frowned and said with his chin in his mouth, "Huh?"

"I call everyone Baby, this is the pet name for a very good friend." Shumeng said seriously, "I will also call Baby when I have a good relationship with Police Zhang, Baby, please."

Zhang Yong swallowed his saliva, waved his hands with disgust on his face and said, "No, no, no." He said and went out.

After Zhang Yong left, Lin Pu and Shu Meng sat in the observation room and looked at each other. Shu Meng couldn't help but want to laugh. Lin Pu said helplessly, "You react quickly?"

"...Simply speaking." Shu Meng said.

Lin Pu turned his gaze back to the interrogation room.

The police station ordered a lunch for Pan Xianzheng, and he was sipping on it, it was an intermission.

The recorder sent his statement to the observation room, and saw only Lin Pu and Shu Meng looking around: "Huh? Where's Team Zhang?"

"Going out to do something, I'll be back in a while." Lin Pu said.

"Oh, good, the transcript is about it." The recorder said, "I'll go have a meal first."

"Thank you." Lin Pu said.

After the people left, Lin Pu quickly looked down.

The transcript of the first conversation was quite thick, and each item in it was quite clear.

"Arson, intentional murder, illegal detention." Lin Pu said indifferently, "If he thinks about it all by himself, he will definitely not plan to come out for the rest of his life."

Shu Meng said, "Isn't it very good?"

"En." Lin Pu exhaled, "It's pretty good."

Shu Meng pointed to one of his confessions: "He once wanted to kill you and your sister, and based on this, he deserves death."

Lin Pu smiled: "Then he should regret that he didn't kill me at the time."

While they were talking, Zhang Yong came in from the outside.

Lin Pu passed the confession to Zhang Yong calmly: "It was delivered just now, and Pan Xian is having dinner now, and we will continue later." "Okay." Zhang Yong sat on the chair and said to Lin Pu, "The village The phone call from over there said that the old woman came to the institute early in the morning to admit it."

"What did she say?" Lin Pu asked.

"She admitted that it was her son who arranged for the two of you to be locked up in their house, because as long as they were locked up, several people from the village committee at that time agreed to give them two hundred yuan a day as a 'accommodation fee' to support the two of you. Before He kept giving it all the time, but then stopped.” Zhang Yong said, “His son had conflicts with people from the village committee because of this. According to her, it was not Pan Xianzheng’s instigation, but a person surnamed Qiao who gave the money. We checked , this person's record has been deleted, and he should have changed his job and gone to another place."

Zhang Yong sighed: "The old lady said that she didn't understand before, what my son asked me to do. Now that my son has been out of the village for a year, he doesn't know when he will come back. Seeing your sister grow up in the past few years, I thought of locking you two up." During the days inside, I feel very guilty and pitiful, I hope you can forgive her."

"..." Lin Pu's shoulders shook slightly, and he couldn't help sneering, "...Forgive me?"

"I'll pass on mine, and you can think about the rest yourself." Zhang Yong said, "Now the outline of the matter is roughly clear. Starting tomorrow, our investigation team will start working. Turn it out."

Lin Pu looked at Zhang Yong, he felt that he had waited for this sentence for many years, but when he actually heard it, he still felt quite peaceful.

Thousands of words, finally turned into one sentence:

"Thank you."

Later, Lin Pu and Shu Meng finally came out of the police station, ready to go back to Baijin.

What happened afterward was beyond the competence of the two of them. Lin Pu provided all the evidence to the police. This was the most important thing he could do. Other than that, it was the affairs of the police and the procuratorate. In the whole case, He's a victim, but that's all there is to it.

Fortunately, today, he is no longer alone.He no longer has to live in fear and unwillingness.

Probably because of the lack of sleep time, the past few days have been extremely long. Looking at it in a blink of an eye, it is only three days.Shu Meng drove back to Baijin with Lin Pu. The two of them didn't say anything after they entered the house. They went to take a shower together, turned their phones on silent mode together, and then lay down on the bed and fell asleep in the dark.

This sleep was not disturbed, and I woke up hungry in the afternoon.

Lin Pu sat up and slept comfortably. The person lying next to him had disappeared, and there was a reassuring sound of cooking from the kitchen.

From that day eight years ago, when the trajectory of his life changed, he didn't know that he would start with Shumen again and wake up in the quiet afternoon.

This time, life may really return to the way it used to be.

Lin Pu dawdled for a while, and took out his mobile phone on the bed to deal with work matters.Shu Meng knew that he was awake, and called him to get up and eat.

During the meal, Shu Meng said: "The news came out in the morning. I didn't know that one day I would be able to be on social news."

"There are many opportunities for you to be on social news." Lin Pu complained casually.

As soon as he finished speaking, his hands paused: "Is it a village?"

"Well, it is said that the case eight years ago is going to be reopened. The police have issued a nationwide wanted arrest. Those who have wiped themselves clean through various means in the past will be arrested again." Schumeng said, "The media's sense of smell is so sensitive now..."

"If there were such a developed information network and investigative technology eight years ago, whether it was me or others, many things would not be as they are now." Lin Pu shook his head, "... Forget it, let's not talk about it , we have to trust the police now, and continue to wait."

"Yeah." Shu Meng said.

Lin Pu moved his notebook and put it on the table, and dealt with the emails that he hadn't had time to deal with in the past few days.There are also a lot of things in the law firm. After a few days of accumulation, Lin Pu has one head and two big ones.

"When do you go to work?" Lin Pu asked while typing.

"There are still four days." Shu Meng said, "I have to go to the Municipal Bureau during the period."

"Well, what's the matter?" Lin Pu asked casually.

"Yesterday, in the clueless villa mutilation case that happened before, because some limbs were still missing, and there was no evidence, a highly decomposed severed limb was found in a suburban park yesterday afternoon." Shu Meng looked at the phone, "This amputated limb belongs to that corpse."

"..." Lin Pu suddenly remembered the case.

The body dismemberment case that completely collapsed Shumeng at that time, until now, Shumeng has been treated, but the other party still has not made any progress, and it has stopped at that place. No strong evidence has been found, and even now. identify the victim.

Lin Pu had no doubts about the execution ability of the Baijin police. In the end, he could only consider that the other party was too difficult.

Shu Meng thoughtfully poked the rice in the bowl in front of him with his chopsticks: "The Baijin police may have been blindly optimistic before, to be honest, the last time the case was solved so quickly, it was mostly coincidence and luck. The coincidence was me, if it wasn't for me...the framed person wouldn't be able to reverse the case so easily."

"So now the Baijin police may be in a stalemate after entering the bottleneck of the case because of the quick cracking of that case." Lin Pu said, "Actually, many cases, especially this kind of unresolved case, will eventually take a lot of time and manpower. We are all human, and there is still pressure from above, and there is such a fast-solved case ahead, the psychological pressure must not be normal."

Shu Meng nodded and sighed: "But if you can't find the murderer in time, you may continue to commit crimes. As I said before, the psychology of committing such cases is to show off more than to kill itself..."

The two talked for a while, and then went about their own business at the dinner table.Lin Pu said after a while: "When will Dr. Xu be free? I'm going to book a seat."

"Book a table?" Shu Meng said, "It's fine to have a casual meal with him."

"..." Lin Pu raised his eyelids and glanced at him.

"Just kidding, where do you want to invite him to eat?" Schumeng said.

"This." Lin Pu turned the computer over to show him, "The new guild hall is quite expensive, the place He Ping recommended to me."

Shu Meng squeezed his chin and looked: "Yes."

"Then call him to confirm the time." Lin Pu said, "It's very difficult to book."

Shu Meng replied: "Let me talk to him", and then called Xu Luo.

After a long beep, the phone was picked up.

"Hello?" Shu Meng said, "Doctor Xu."

There was silence on the other side.

"Hello?" Shu Meng called again.

After a while, the phone was hung up.

Shu Meng: "..."

"What's wrong?" Lin Pu asked.

Shu Meng shrugged, and dialed back again, saying, "No one is talking...Hello?"

After a long beep, the phone was connected again, and Shu Meng said, "Doctor Xu? It's me."

After a short while, the phone was hung up again.

Shu Meng frowned slightly, and he looked at Lin Pu with some anxiety.

Lin Pu asked, "What's the matter? Is Dr. Xu not answering?"

"No, he answered, but I heard someone breathing rapidly into the microphone all the time?" Schumeng said.
