After answering Ding Haoqiong's call, Xu Lang temporarily 'occupied' Li Kui's office, a bit like occupying a magpie's nest. Li Kui didn't pay much attention to this situation, but instead appreciated and recognized Xu Lang more and more.
Get up.
After hanging up the phone with Ding Haoqiong, Xu Lang called Luo Jiayan, who was investigating in Yunnan City, to inquire about the progress of her investigation. However, the results he received were disappointing.
Although the cause of Qiaolina's death was clarified, and it was determined that Qiaolina was stabbed to death by the screwdriver found at the scene. The screwdriver had Qin Youqi's fingerprints, and the fingerprints were extremely clear. This was equivalent to convicting Qin Youqi of murdering his wife, but
, there are not only Qin Youqi and Qiao Lina at the scene, but also a third person, their son Qin Fen is also present, and now Qin Youqi is dead, the truth is no longer known, but Qin Fen must also have something important.
He is suspected of committing the crime. As for his motive, we will only know after Xu Lang returns to S City and sees Qin Fen himself.
After the Yunnan City Police learned that the wanted Qin Youqi had been killed, they canceled the wanted order for Qin Youqi, but the wanted order for Qin Fen was still there.
In addition to these predetermined results, Luo Jiayan also found some clues that were not particularly valuable.
According to interviews with residents near Qin Youqi’s old house, it was learned that at ten o’clock in the evening on October 5th, someone once saw a teenage boy entering Qin Youqi’s old house. On the morning of October 10th,
, some people also saw that Qin Youqi and Qiao Lina once appeared near the old house, because Qin Youqi's family lived in S city all year round and rarely came back. Very few people knew them, and their clothes were very different from the local residents.
Easily attracts people's attention.
Also, near Qin Youliang's grave, a villager once saw Qin Fen. At that time, at night, the villager saw Qin Fen holding a plastic bag in his hand. The plastic bag seemed to contain something, because the plastic bag was black.
Yes, he didn't know what was inside.
Previously, Xu Lang asked Luo Jiayan to investigate the crematoriums and funeral parlors near Yunnan City, and the results were obtained.
Clues were found at one of the crematoriums. According to the recollections of the crematorium staff, on the afternoon of October 8, the day after I saw Qin Fen near Qin Youliang’s cemetery, there was a young man carrying a bag.
The bones that turned into bones came to the crematorium and asked for cremation. They paid them a large fee. That night, the bones that had turned into bones were burned into ashes. After the ashes were taken out, the young man took them with him.
He left with the ashes.
Luo Jiayan showed Qin Fen's photo to the crematorium staff, who recognized him at a glance.
With this result, many things can be explained clearly. The ashes found in Qiaolina's stomach belong to Qin Youliang, and Qin Youliang is Qiaolina's ex-husband. The person who took away Qin Youliang's body that had been buried for many years for cremation was Qin Fen. In this way,
, Qin Fen’s suspicions grew bigger and bigger.
At present, Luo Jiayan and the others have only investigated so much.
After listening to Luo Jiayan's report, Xu Lang's expression became more solemn. Now, all the fingers were pointed at Qin Fen, but Qin Fen appeared in the CSY office building in S City a few hours ago.
, Xu Lang was still very confused as to why Qin Fen would do this.
"Brother Lang, the investigation here is almost complete. Our stay in Yunnan City will not be of much use. Can we return to S City? Ahem..."
When Luo Jiayan reached the end of her words, she started coughing, interrupting Xu Lang's thoughts.
"Are you sick?" Xu Lang asked with concern.
"Well, I have a cold. I'm a little acclimatized. The temperature difference between day and night here is too big."
Only then did Xu Lang notice that when Luo Jiayan was speaking, her voice was a little weird. Before, she had been thinking about the case and didn't notice it. Now she noticed it. Xu Lang thought for a while and said: "Since you guys
If there is no progress in Yunnan City, let’s go back to City S first.”
"Really? That's great."
Luo Jiayan's excited voice came from the other end of the phone.
Hearing Luo Jiayan's excitement like a child, Xu Lang couldn't help but smile. This was the first time he had smiled in the past few days.
"Go to the doctor if you are sick. Pay attention to your health. You are a girl. Take care of yourself." Xu Lang showed rare concern for Luo Jiayan.
"Okay, Brother Lang, I understand. I thought you were quite a good person before, but now you have become like my mother, you like to nag so much. Really, I'm screwed."
After Luo Jiayan said this, she hung up the phone without waiting for Xu Lang to say anything.
Hearing the beeping busy tone from the other end of the phone, Xu Lang couldn't help but smile bitterly. Luo Jiayan was still a child after all.
After putting down his cell phone, Xu Lang realized that it was already dark outside, street lights and neon lights were on, and the bustling and lively nightlife had begun.
"Gugu..."
Suddenly, Xu Lang's stomach rang. He was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled bitterly again.
"You're hungry, let's go and eat."
At this time, Li Kui came over, patted Xu Lang on the shoulder and said.
"Have the autopsy results come out?" Xu Lang turned his head and glanced at Li Kui and asked.
Li Kui shook his head and said, "No, Forensic Doctor Qin and our Forensic Doctor Sun are still in the autopsy room."
"Then wait until the autopsy results come out before we go to eat...gugu..."
Before Xu Lang finished speaking, his stomach growled again, as if he was protesting to Xu Lang.
"Ha ha....
..”
"Let's go, stop inking, and eat first. The autopsy results haven't come out yet anyway. We'll talk about everything after eating."
After saying that, without waiting for Xu Lang's refusal or hesitation, he put his arm around Xu Lang's shoulders and walked out of the office, inviting other members of the Criminal Investigation Team to go out for dinner together.
————
A group of people walked out of the office area and came outside.
Xu Lang, who was still wearing short-sleeved shirts, felt a chill for no reason and shivered subconsciously.
Wuma City is not far from Yunnan City, and Yunnan City is further to the west. It has a high altitude and a large temperature difference between day and night. Luo Jiayan even caught a cold. Xu Lang was a little confused at first, but now, he understands.
"Haha...Are you not used to the climate here?"
Seeing Xu Lang's actions, Li Kui laughed and said.
Xu Lang nodded with a wry smile and said, "It's true that I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
"Then if you come here more often, you will gradually get used to it." Li Kui said with a smile.
Xu Lang shook his head helplessly. Xu Lang yearned for and liked the northwest region of China very much. The land here was vast, the air was fresh, and it made people feel very comfortable. However, Xu Lang didn't want to come by himself.
Even if I come here, it is for tourism, not for a case. After all, in the police industry, if you appear somewhere other than during the holidays, it means that a case has occurred.
The group did not linger at the door. Under the leadership of Li Kui, they arrived at a small restaurant not far from the Criminal Investigation Team.
In a private room, a group of people sat around the dining table, chatting and waiting for the dishes to be served.
Among this group of people, except for Xu Lang, who was an outsider, everyone else was an old acquaintance. They all sat together, talking and laughing, while Li Kui and Wang Bo sat on either side of Xu Lang, asking some questions about Xu Lang.
Xu Lang also said some innocuous things, and the two of them got along very harmoniously, mainly because Li Kui, despite his fierce appearance, was actually a carefree man.
I'm familiar with everyone, and he's the kind of person who's rough but fine.
The dishes came slowly, and Li Kui opened a few bottles of white wine and served them to Xu Langman.
Xu Lang immediately refused, saying that he would have to work later, but he heard Li Kui say: "It's already late at night, what kind of work can there be? Even if there is, it's just the autopsy results. Even if the autopsy results come out,
Well, what can you do at night? Why don’t you have to wait until daytime tomorrow?”
When Li Kui said this, Wang Bo and others also followed suit. Xu Lang was unable to defeat the four with his fists, and finally compromised.
The meal was very lively. Because it was Xu Lang's first time here, Li Kui specially ordered their special dishes for Xu Lang. Xu Lang felt very comfortable eating and found it novel.
After eating, drinking, and chatting, they all became familiar with each other. We all work in criminal investigation, and we usually have tense nerves. We finally relaxed ourselves. Everyone was very happy, and the topics of conversation were interesting.
That’s more.
At the wine table, Xu Lang also gradually saw the generosity of the people from the northwest, and gradually understood why Li Kui had such a personality, because the people under him also had similar personalities.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the meal was finally over. Xu Lang had also drank too much, and his head was a little swollen.
After the dinner, Li Kui left two people on duty. Then, he took Xu Lang to the guest house and opened a room for Xu Lang. After making arrangements for Xu Lang, Li Kui left.
Xu Lang did drink a lot tonight, but he was not drunk. It was just that after walking out of the hotel, he was blown by the cold night wind, which made Xu Lang feel very uncomfortable in his stomach. Now, when he arrived at the hotel, Xu Lang
It feels better.
First, he went to the bathroom and simply washed his face. Then, Xu Lang came to the window and admired the night view outside.
Xu Lang was tired of seeing the night view of S City for many years. Now, when he arrived at Wuma City, Xu Lang thought it would be a little different. After watching it for a while, he discovered that the night view of the city was actually the same everywhere.
The lights are bright, the neon lights are flashing, and the people take off their masks in the night and begin to show another side of themselves.
Because City S is close to the sea, you can smell a faint smell of sea wherever you go. However, there is no such smell in Wuma City. After all, this is an inland area.
Xu Lang opened the window and let the cold wind outside blow in. It was almost the end of October and the autumn season had entered. In S City, Xu Lang and the others were still wearing summer clothes and did not feel the arrival of autumn.
After Xu Lang came to Wuma City, he didn't feel the arrival of autumn during the day, but at night, the taste of autumn was felt.
Although he drank, Xu Lang was still thinking about Qin Liang's case.
Now after the investigation, everything seems to be starting to become clearer and clearer. However, there are a few questions that Xu Lang has been unable to figure out.
First, Qin Youliang, Qin Youqi and Qiao Lina, what is the relationship between the three of them?
Second, was Qin Youliang's death thirty-three years ago an accident?
Third, what does Qin Liang’s death have to do with Qin Youqi’s family?
Fourth, what does the death of Qiao Lina and Qin Youqi have to do with their son Qin Fen? Was it Qin Fen who killed him? What was his motive? What was his purpose?
Fifth, what is the relationship between Qin Fen and Qin Liang?
If these issues are not clarified, then the truth behind Qin Liang's death cannot be solved.
At this time, Xu Lang hoped that Qin Mingyue could quickly
The sooner the results come out and the cause of Qin Youqi's death is known, the sooner we can take the next step. We can also go back to S City earlier to talk to Qin Fen and take a look at this sixteen-year-old boy.
What are you thinking about?
Xu Lang stood by the window for a long time, holding his mobile phone in his hand. He was waiting for Qin Mingyue's call. However, it was past eleven o'clock in the evening, and Qin Mingyue still didn't call. It seemed that the autopsy had not been completed yet.
It ended, which made Xu Lang feel irritable.
Originally, he couldn't blow the wind after drinking. Xu Lang now had the window open and stood for so long. Xu Lang felt a little headache and wanted to vomit. He endured it again and again. Finally, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He closed the window and turned around. Why?
, started to vomit.
When Xu Lang came out of the bathroom, he was already very tired. He staggered to the bedside, fell straight down, and lay on the soft quilt. It didn't take long for him to fall asleep.

S City, Lushui Community, inside a house.
The lights were on in the room, and two people were sitting on the sofa in the living room, a man and a woman.
The man was about thirty years old, very handsome, with a chiseled face, strong muscles, bright eyes, slightly raised corners of his mouth, and a hint of ruffianism.
The woman is about the same age as the man, but she looks younger, in her early twenties. She is very beautiful, sitting there like a lady, very peaceful, but at this moment, her face
There was no smile on his face at all, his bright eyes were staring at the man, and his handsome brows were knitted together.
The man crossed his legs and held a wine glass in his hand. He swayed the wine glass gently. The yellow liquid kept rolling with the movement of the man's hand. He looked at the woman with a smile, and his eyes showed undisguised emotion.
of love.
The two people sat opposite each other. There was a glass coffee table between them. In addition to a cup of green tea placed in front of the woman, there were also three stacked black books in the middle. I don't know what secrets were written in them.
"I didn't expect you to come to me." The man looked at the woman and was silent for a long time before breaking the silence and saying.
"I didn't expect you to be still in S city." The woman replied indifferently.
"You know why I stayed in S city." The man looked at the woman affectionately and said.
The woman's frown tightened a little more. She looked at the man with a somewhat complicated expression on her face.
"I know, but you don't have to do this. I won't go with you, and I won't go back with you." The woman looked at the man and said slowly.
"I know, I understand. You like him and would do anything for him. I do the same. I can do anything for you." The man still looked at the woman affectionately and said,
This is not the first time that a woman has been rejected. The man has long been used to it. He likes her, but she likes another man. She knows what he means, but she chooses to refuse, and the man also knows
She chose to turn a blind eye to her thoughts, which made the man very painful, and she hated that man very much, because it was that man who turned her into what she is now, and it was he who destroyed her, even though all this was done voluntarily by her, he didn't know
Love, but the man still hated that man.
"Red, you should leave City S. I don't want one day, we will be on opposite sides." The woman's expression became more and more complicated. She looked at the man and said in a pleading tone.
However, the man slowly shook his head under the woman's hopeful eyes. He couldn't do it, just like she couldn't leave that man.
"...."
There was another long silence, and the atmosphere at the scene turned cold, becoming awkward and weird.
The woman no longer looked at the man, but looked down at the diary on the table and said, "Give it to me."
"What do you want it for? Send it to him?"
The man frowned, and a hint of anger appeared on his face unconsciously, but it was suppressed by the man.
The woman did not answer the question, but still said: "Give it to me."
"What if I don't give it."
Like a angry child, the man put down the wine glass in his hand, pulled the diary over, put it in his hand, and looked at the woman with some pride.
The woman never blocked the man's actions from beginning to end. She just raised her head, looked at the man, and continued: "Give it to me."
"No."
The man turned his head away, deliberately not looking at the woman, because he was afraid that he would be soft-hearted.
"You're doing no good with it."
"You are right, it is of no use to me, but it is of great use to him, so I can't give it to you."
"Zhang Ruide."
The woman stood up and directly called the man's name.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then he stood up with strong anger on his face. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he saw the woman's outstretched hand, he hesitated. Finally,
Still saying nothing, he handed the three diaries to the woman.
"Thanks."
The woman took the diary without looking at it, held it in her hand, turned around and walked out. The man wanted to ask to keep it, but he didn't make any sound. Until the door closed, the man still didn't say a word to keep him.
His face became completely angry, and then became twisted and ferocious.
