Chapter 38 Returning in vain
Chapter 38 Return without success
Fang Lin and Chen Jian came to City S, the small village where Zheng Ping died unexpectedly, and found the house Zheng Ping had rented based on the address on the data.
The house had been renovated a long time ago, and the ashes of the past four years had long disappeared. The two came to the intersection shop.
"Hello, I want to ask you about a person. His name is Zheng Ping. He lived here 4 years ago." Chen Jian asked the store owner.
"Zheng Ping?...Oh, yes, there is such a person, but? Why are you asking him?"
"We are the police and want to know something about what happened back then." After saying this, Chen Jian took out his police officer certificate.
"You police officers are really interesting. People have been dead for such a long time before you come to investigate the situation. Even if there is something really going on, what's the use of it after 4 years?" the boss asked the two of them angrily.
The two of them were speechless for a moment.
It was Fang Lin who broke the deadlock and said: "Brother, it's nothing special. I just want to know if anything special happened when Zheng Ping lived here. For example...for example, did he often drink alcohol? Why did he often buy high-strength liquor?
?”
"Haha, you didn't buy that wine to drink. I heard Zheng Ping said that he has rheumatism and needs to wipe his body with high-strength liquor every day to promote blood circulation."
"So how is Zheng Ping's interpersonal relationship here?" Fang Lin asked
"He is a good man"
The person who answered Fang Lin was not the store owner, but an old man in a wheelchair.
"Oh? You know? Then why do you say he is a good person?" Fang Lin continued to ask.
"Of course I know. He saved my granddaughter. Do you think he is a good person?"
"About four years ago, Xiaoyun's mother made money by picking up seafood for others, so I took care of Xiaoyun, but I am a paralytic and have difficulty moving."
"One day Xiaoyun said that she wanted to find her mother on the fish raft where she worked. I was confused for a moment, so I agreed to accompany her. When we just walked to the pier and waited for the ferry, Xiaoyun accidentally fell into the sea from the stone steps."
There was a "plop" sound, and it almost took away my old life.
"I wanted to save Xiaoyun, but I couldn't move. I could only cry and shout "help". At this time, Zheng Ping happened to pass by. Without saying a word, he jumped into the sea and rescued Xiaoyun."
"If it hadn't been for him, how would I have survived? Do you think this kind of person is a good person?"
The old man became more and more excited as he talked, pointing at Fang Lin's nose and questioning.
This old man must have thought that Fang and Lin were investigating whether Zheng Ping had committed a crime before. The boss next to him nodded in agreement and said, "We have only been in contact with him for a short time, but Zheng Ping is always polite to everyone."
, very polite, and I haven’t seen him having any problems with anyone.”
"Old man, you just said that your daughter-in-law is working for others, and you are taking care of your granddaughter. What about your son?" Fang Lin did not listen to the store owner's remarks, but grasped the key point of the incident and asked.
An old man in a wheelchair.
"He is dead and I don't have a son like him, so what? Do you still want to investigate him? Then you have to investigate carefully. He is not a good person." After saying this, the old man glared at Fang Lin and Fang Lin very angrily.
Using both hands, he adjusted the wheelchair and walked towards home.
Fang Lin didn't expect that the old man would have such a big reaction just after he asked about his son, and he looked at the boss inexplicably.
The boss laughed and smoothed things over by saying, "Old Zhao is just like this. He has a stubborn temper. Don't suggest anything."
"What about his son?"
"Oh, when it comes to his son, he really doesn't live up to expectations. He eats, drinks, whores, gambles, and takes over everything. He doesn't care about the elderly, especially his wife and children. In the end, his wife divorced him and took the children with him.
I’m going back to my parents’ house,” the boss said.
"I see. No wonder the old man had such a big reaction when he heard us asking him about his son." Chen Jian said with sudden realization.
.......
"Brother Fang, what else are we investigating now?" Chen Jian asked
"Let's go to the hospital in the city"
"What are you going to the hospital for?"
"I'm going to check on Zheng Ping's case."
"It's been four years, how can we still check for cases? According to Sun Fang's account at the time, Zheng Ping died unexpectedly a few days after learning that he had cancer. Zheng Ping was not hospitalized at all? There can't be any cases, right?
?”
"Well, I know this too, so I can only try my luck and see if the relevant clinics have archives."
S city, night
The two people, who couldn't find any useful information, lay on the hotel bed as tired as dogs. After running around all day, they visited all the hospitals in the city, but no record of Zheng Ping suffering from cancer was found. The hospital's statement was:
: "Without hospitalization, there are no cases. As for outpatient diagnosis of major diseases like cancer, it is only a suggestion. Clinical observation is required before a conclusion can be made. Therefore, there is no record of Zheng Ping suffering from cancer in the city."
"Brother Fang, why are you so sure that Zheng Ping is not dead? Even if the motives of those cases point to Zheng Ping, Zheng Ping has been dead for four years. This is a fact." Chen Jian sat up straight and asked Fang Lin.
"Actually, Fang Lin is not sure whether Zheng Ping is dead. It's just that Sun Fang has no time or ability to commit the crime, so the best suspect is Zheng Ping."
"But what Fang Lin is most puzzled about now is that the person who kidnapped Yan Qianqian and forced Yan Huazhong to submit was a woman. In the past, it could be suspected that Zheng Ping was not dead. All of this was Zheng Ping's doing. But what happened to this woman who suddenly appeared?
What's going on? Fang Lin really can't figure it out."
"Brother Fang, do you think there is another possibility? Zheng Ping is really dead. In fact, all this was done by Sun Fang. There was a person who liked Sun Fang and wanted to pursue Sun Fang. Then Sun Fang took advantage of him.
Everything that happened was told to that person. In order to express his abnormal love to Sun Fang, that person took revenge on Sun Fang's behalf." Chen Jian said with great imagination.
"No, Sun Fang will never let anyone complete her revenge plan for her. Except for Zheng Ping, she will feel at ease only if she personally understands Pan Weiguo's life. This is her obsession and her self-salvation. Likewise
It is also a typical behavioral style of revengeful psychological crimes." Fang Lin denied Chen Jian's speculation.
"Then who could be the murderer? What a headache?" Chen Jian muttered to himself.
The next day.
Fang Lin and Chen Jian embarked on the return train. They gained nothing from this trip to the south. Instead, it made the whole case more confusing. Do we really have to wait until the murderer has dealt with all the targets one by one before we can find the real murderer?
?Or maybe we will never know who the murderer is?
It is now September 2017. There are still about 9 months before the murderer commits another crime. What can we do now? We have investigated everything that should be investigated and what should not be investigated. Even the dead have become suspects.
