【Ling Li】Greedy Wolf

19. Angels and Demons ([-])

Ling Yuan didn't expect to see Li Xunran here.He turned around in his mind for a few times, and there were too many things he wanted to ask, but the first thing he said was actually a subconscious "Have you had dinner yet?"

Ouyang Lin behind Li Xunran suddenly had a horrible expression on his face.

It wasn't until Ling Yuan finished asking that he felt something was wrong, and he became extremely embarrassed.Li Xunran didn't respond at all, just nodded to him, as an answer to his question, and then asked: "Why are you here?"

The young man who was sitting in the stairwell had already stood up, his eyes turned between Ling Yuan and Li Xunran a few times, and he called again tremblingly: "Uncle Ling?"

Ling Yuan sighed, and patted his head sideways: "Xiao Yuan, don't be afraid, I'll go talk to them and I'll be back soon."

He comforted the child before entering the room, first greeted Ouyang Lin, and then turned to Li Xunran: "Find a place to talk."

As a result, Li Xunran turned around and led him into the kitchen.

Only then did Ouyang Lin see that Ling Yuan's face was quite grim. His voice was hoarse and he was depressed: "The victim was one of my colleagues, Han Qi...she is my senior sister, and she took care of me a lot when I was studying."

Han Qi is the second surgeon in the Department of Thoracic Surgery of the First Hospital. He is professional, but his life is somewhat unsatisfactory.The relationship between the two of them has been at odds for some years. They just divorced some time ago, and she lives with her adopted son Han Yuan.Han Yuan is still young, but smart. He skipped a few grades when he was studying. He was in the third year of high school at the age of 14. No wonder when Li Xunran saw him just now, he felt that he was much smaller than normal high school students.Ling Yuan has a good relationship with Han Qi, and has met Han Yuan a few times, so he is familiar with him.Something happened to Han Qi. Although Han Yuan was smart and precocious, he was still a child after all, and he couldn't do it without an adult present at such a time.Han Qi's parents passed away early, and he had an older brother in the Northeast, who couldn't be contacted for a while, and his former adoptive father couldn't get through to the phone, and there was no one else to turn to. After much deliberation, Ling Yuan came to his mind.

Ouyang Lin always felt very uncomfortable being sandwiched between the two of them. Ling Yuan was fine when he was talking, but when he calmed down, he felt uncomfortable as if he didn't know where to stay. Seeing what he said, he quickly found an excuse and slipped away without looking back.

He disappeared before Ling Yuan spoke again: "Xun Ran, Xiao Yuan has no one at home, I can't leave him here alone, tonight..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Xunran nodded sharply: "Okay, I'll go back to live in the office today."

He had a frank expression and was not dissatisfied at all. His attitude made Ling Yuan feel more guilty. He sighed and said uneasily, "I'm sorry."

This cautious attitude made Li Xunran smile, although in such a situation, his smile was only fleeting: "There is nothing to be sorry for—what do you think of me, or do you actually want me more Unreasonable trouble with you?"

Seeing that there was no one around, he quickly leaned forward and hugged Ling Yuan, his forehead was pressed against his forehead, only feeling a trace of familiar warmth, and quickly backed away.

Before he left, he took Ling Yuan's hand: "My condolences, don't be too sad, Ling Yuan."

Ouyang Lin went downstairs to adjust the monitoring, and Li Xunran went to understand the situation with the community security.The middle-aged security guard who accompanied Han Yuan at the beginning knew the situation of his house fairly well, and opened up the chatterbox after a little questioning.Han Qi divorced just over a year ago, and she has never had a good relationship with her ex-husband, quarreling in the middle of the night is common, throwing things from time to time, and was complained to the property by the unit residents several times.It is also a headache for the property owner to mention her family's affairs, but the couple quarrels, and they can't watch from the side, that is, to appease them.The couple had been arguing for several years, probably to the point of numbness, and finally divorced, which also settled the troublesome property management issue.

Speaking of this, the security guard sighed: "Speaking of which, Dr. Han's fate is also bad. She is very polite to our security guard. The old man of Xiao Feng in our team was hospitalized for surgery last time, so I asked her for help. Her husband, oh , my ex-husband is not a good person. I heard that he was okay at first. He was doing water and electricity maintenance in some unit, but then he lost his job for some reason. He only knew how to gamble outside all day. When he came back, he asked Dr. Han for money. Let me see. Divorce is fine too. Dr. Han is good at his job, and he is beautiful. Even if he has a son, but his son is promising, are you afraid that he will not have a good future in the future? Who knows... Sigh, what kind of animal did this! "

Tears welled up in his eyes while he was talking, Li Xunran patted his arm that was afraid of him, whispered a few words of comfort, and turned back to look for Ling Yuan.

Ling Yuan is leading Han Yuan to pack his things.Han Yuan actually acted strong enough, he didn't continue to cry, but his eyes were still red, his hands and feet were a little stiff, obviously he hadn't recovered from the shock and grief.Speaking of tidying up, he didn't have anything to take with him. Ling Yuan's house had everything, and it was impossible for him to go back to school to study these two days, so he only needed to bring a change of clothes.With a wooden face, the child took out a few T-shirts and trousers from the bedroom like a ghost, and stuffed them into his backpack casually.Ling Yuan couldn't bear it and didn't want to rush him, so he waited and watched him wander around the living room a few times like a headless chicken, and finally pulled out a key from the dark cabinet of the coffee table to open a small chest of drawers next to the TV. lock.

He opened the drawer and reached in to look for something, but he couldn't help but let out a soft "Huh".

Ling Yuan, who never took his eyes off him, immediately took a step forward: "Xiao Yuan, what's wrong with you?"

Han Yuan looked up at him blankly, as if he just realized that he had just made a sound.

He said in a low voice: "It's nothing, Uncle Ling, it's just a little strange to see a mobile phone here."

This chest of drawers is where Han Qi usually puts his money.Her ex-husband was addicted to gambling, and would come back to ask for money after losing everything, so Han Qi specially got this lockable cabinet to store cash, even after divorce, this habit has not changed.When Han Yuan asked for money, Han Qi took it directly for him, and he never opened this drawer.It was only today that he realized that he was penniless, and his first reaction was that he should take some money before leaving—he had already troubled Dean Ling enough, and he couldn't let others spend money for him.And when he opened the drawer, he didn't pay attention to it. When he picked up the envelope containing thousands of dollars in cash, he discovered that there was a mobile phone hidden under the envelope that he had never seen before.

Electronic products are updated quickly, and it is normal to have idle mobile phones that have been eliminated at home.But this mobile phone is not a particularly old model. Ling Yuan reached out and pressed it, and it was still charged, obviously still in normal use.

However, if you don't carry your mobile phone with you, but lock it at home, what's the situation?

Li Xunran happened to come in from the outside, noticed their movement here, and immediately went up to grab Ling Yuan's arm: "What's wrong?"

There was a bit of concern in his tone, but he was overly nervous.Ling Yuan held his wrist with a reassuring backhand: "It's okay, it's a little strange that Xiao Yuan said that he found a mobile phone in the cabinet, which didn't belong to his mother. Don't worry, it's okay."

Li Xunran was tortured by Jin Qichen's clueless case for several days. When he heard the word "mobile phone", he felt the hairs all over his body trembling nervously.Before he could say anything, he immediately broke free from Ling Yuan's hand, carefully packed the phone in an evidence bag, put it away, and prepared to take it back to the bureau for inspection.

After finishing all this, he remembered Ling Yuan. When he turned his head, he saw Ling Yuan was still standing aside, and Han Yuan was waiting beside him in a daze. He hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Ling Yuan aside: "...you still Not going back? I think Xiao Yuan is also tired, and this kind of thing will make everyone feel uncomfortable. The child will be handed over to you, and you can take him back to rest early, if possible, get a good sleep, and feel better tomorrow."

Ling Yuan's face relaxed following his words, he let out a long breath, and whispered: "Okay... don't force yourself, go to bed early at night, remember to eat something before going to sleep when you are hungry, don't be too tired, don't Make me worry."

Li Xunran's gaze at him gradually softened, and he held Ling Yuan's hand where no one saw him: "Okay, I'll listen to you."

——He didn't dare to tell Ling Yuan that he was going to light up the night battle tonight.Jin Qichen's case has only passed one day, and another incident happened here. It seems too extravagant to mention sleep at this time.What's more, the detective's intuition has always been crazier than reason. He has a hunch that there must be some connection between Han Qi's case and Jin Qichen's murder waiting for him to catch, and they have wasted too much time.

Ouyang Lin came back from Sister Shen, the forensic doctor. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Xunran fiddling with the mobile phone he found from Han Qi's house.He first sat down and drank a big mouthful of cold water, and then he felt refreshed, before he asked, "How is it? What did you find?"

Li Xunran put down his phone, his face serious: "Han Qi has a problem."

There is only one contact in the phone marked as "Chen", and all the calls and text messages are from this person, and the longest time can be traced back to more than two years ago.The call records are all the same, so I will ignore them, but the text messages can show some clues.

Ouyang Lin picked up the phone and flipped through a few text messages, then frowned: "It turns out that Han Qi still has a pretty face outside. It looks like the other party is still a married man. The two have been in touch for a while."

It seems that the relationship between Han Qi and his wife is not just what the security guard said.Li Xunran took the phone back, scanned the text messages at a glance, and then turned to the column of call records. His eyes unconsciously scanned the last missed call. The time was familiar, and it was around one o'clock in the morning on the day Jin Qichen was killed.

He froze on the seat, his chest was like an inflated balloon, both joyful and unbelievable, Ouyang Lin saw that his face was not right, leaned his head over, saw the time when Li Xunran's fingertips were pointing, and suddenly felt ashamed Stunned.After a while, he said, "...coincidence?"

The wounds at the same location, the almost overlapping time, the unknown mobile phone, the mysterious lover-are these all coincidences?

"Since Han Qi was also killed, then we can assume," said Li Xunran, "assuming that Han Qi is Jin Qichen's lover. If Jin Qichen goes to the underground garage, then this person can only contact Jin Qichen through one method."

Ouyang Lin understood what he said: "—SMS, if our guess is correct, this person must have sent a text message to Jin Qichen that night."

Li Xunran handed Han Qi's mobile phone to him: "Give it to the information center and ask them to check this number. Also, find a way to restore the deleted data. I want all the communication records in this mobile phone."

Ouyang Lin responded and left.Li Xunran thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Ling Yuan.

However, before he could dial the number, Ling Yuan's call came first.

Li Xunran was taken aback, and answered almost instantly: "Ling Yuan?"

The other end probably didn't expect him to be so fast, and was choked up before saying, "It's me."

It was very quiet on his side, and his voice became more and more deep, almost completely breathless, Li Xunran only felt itchy ears, and felt something was wrong - Ling Yuan seemed to be avoiding people.

As for who to hide from, the answer is self-evident, but somewhat confusing, Li Xunran's words inevitably contained doubts: "Ling Yuan, are you all right?"

Ling Yuan paused, and then said: "I found something, I don't know if it has anything to do with the case, but I just think I should tell you."

It was almost nine o'clock when he brought Han Yuan home, and he had a guess in his mind, so he asked one more question, and it turned out that Han Yuan hadn't had dinner yet.Although the boy repeatedly emphasized that he had no appetite, Ling Yuan couldn't leave him alone, went to the kitchen to pack a handful of vegetables, and served him a bowl of egg noodles with vegetables.Han Yuan sat at the dining table, his whole body was made smaller by the high-back chair.He looks clean and handsome, but his body is almost thin, with clothes dangling on his body, so thin it makes people feel distressed.Even so, this is still an adolescent boy after all, Ling Yuan's biggest impression of this time is that he is always hungry.Although Han Yuan was mentally heavy, his physical instincts were irresistible. Although he ate very slowly, he still wiped out a large bowl of noodles with soup and water.

He didn't remember to thank Ling Yuan until he finished eating, with his head lowered, grateful and ashamed.Ling Yuan comforted him in a low voice, got up and went to wash the dishes.

Just when he passed by Han Yuan, he saw a large bruise on his back from the crooked collar of the boy's slightly bowed body.

Ling Yuanduan's bowl froze in mid-air.

And Han Yuan didn't realize it, he looked up at him with clear and puzzled eyes: "...Uncle Ling?"

Li Xunran remained silent on the other end of the phone for a long time. Ling Yuan's voice came through the receiver with exhausted anger: "...Xiaoyuan refused to say, but Han Qi has been divorced for more than a year. Yuan has been with her. I checked, and the injuries on his body cannot be explained by simple rubbing. It looks like... a stick or something like that. It probably won't last more than a week. Besides, There are old wounds."

Terrible silence spread on both sides of the phone, and it took a long time for Li Xunran to speak: "You mean, Han Qi has been abusing his adopted son?"

He could almost hear Ling Yuan gritted his teeth: "I don't want to admit it, but yes, I suspect so."

Li Xunran deliberated for a moment, and finally said: "I know you probably can't accept it, but I have one more thing to tell you——Han Qi has a long-term lover, she...may not be what you think , the reason for being killed may not be that simple."

Ling Yuan didn't speak, just took a deep breath on the other end of the phone, and said: "Okay, I understand. I will pay attention to Xiaoyuan. You are busy, so I hung up."

He was about to take up the line, but Li Xunran stopped him: "Wait."

He quickly said in a hurry: "Ask Xiaoyuan for me, what kind of car Han Qi drives?"

Ling Yuan didn't ask any more questions, just said "Don't hang up first".His footsteps could be heard on the phone, followed by a vague human voice, and after a few simple conversations, there was another subtle sound of slippers rubbing against the floor.

Li Xunran's heart beat faster, and Ling Yuan's voice finally came clearly: "Xiao Yuan said, it's a red Focus."
