I'm not a super cop

Chapter 383

Although he knew in his heart that there was a high probability that Liu Mingcheng was the deceased, but looking at the anxiety and uneasiness on Ms. Pu's face, Xiao Ran could only hide it for the time being, "I just want to ask Mr. Think about it."

Hearing this, the eagerness on Ms. Pu's face faded a little bit, but she still said uneasy: "I'm always in shock these days, and I can't get through the phone. I always feel that something happened to Old Liu. ——Oh, Ever since he started off-roading, I’ve always been on tenterhooks. I’ve never been able to figure out what’s so fun about off-roading. Those in the wilderness and unfamiliar places will have to wait a long time for injuries, and encounter wild animals. Yes, I can't run away even if I want to..."

Ms. Pu moaned and complained for a while, and was about to continue when she heard the door of the house creak, and a young couple walked in with a two- or three-year-old boy in their arms.

"Mom, who parked the car in front of our house?"

The young man holding the child asked as soon as he entered the door, and then looked at the three of Xiao Ran who were looking at him together, and was stunned for a while: "... Yo, are there any guests? This looks very strange. , haven’t seen it before.”

"Hello, we are from the Public Security Bureau." Xiao Ran stood up and stretched out his hand.

Ms. Pu also stood aside and explained: "That's right, it's a comrade from the Public Security Bureau, who came to ask your father to find out something, so your father has disappeared again!"

"police?"

The young man frowned, and hastily handed over the child to his wife, and shook hands with Xiao Ran, "What happened to me and my dad outside? Didn't he say that many people were together during the match?"

"Don't think too much, just understand the situation." Xiao Ran said again.

"Oh, then sit down, we will tell you everything we know....Oh, by the way, the fruit I just bought is still in the car. I'll get it for you." The young man was very enthusiastic, and he greeted Xiao Ran to sit down. Next, I went to pick up the fruit and washed it out for them to eat.

Xiao Ran waved his hand and said, "No, don't bother, we are short on time, so we have to go back as soon as we finish understanding."

"You're welcome brother, how long will it last to eat a piece of fruit? Come and taste it, I just picked the apples I just bought."

The young man stuffed the washed apples into Xiao Ran's hands, sat down next to Ms. Pu and said, "What's going on here? My dad has always been kind and doesn't blush with anyone."

Xiao Ran put the fruit in his hand back on the plate, and said, "That's right, when was the last time you saw or talked to Mr. Liu Mingcheng?"

"He left home at the beginning of the month, maybe on the 5th or 6th? Anyway, it was those two days. He said he was going to the city to participate in a competition with Xiao Fan. He was quite happy when he left."

Ms. Pu recalled for a while, and said: "After leaving at the beginning of the month, he didn't call home again. Two days ago, the store needed to buy goods. I had something to ask him, but the phone couldn't get through. I called Xiaofan. It was only after a few words that I realized that I had gone to some corner to compete, and the signal was not good, intermittent.”

"Two days ago, what day?" Xiao Ran stopped writing and raised his head to ask.

"Here, let me take a look..." Ms. Pu turned on her phone and looked at it, and said affirmatively, "17th, the morning of the 17th."

"Morning on the 17th?" Xiao Ran frowned slightly as he watched Yu Yu take pictures of Ms. Pu's call records.

It has been five days since the 17th, but at noon, He Liang called Fan Zhengyong, only to learn that they were still in the game.

In 5 days, most cross-country competitions cannot last for such a long time, unless it is some professional extreme cross-country, but like Liu Mingcheng, that is, an amateur senior enthusiast, he is too professional at his age. .

And since Fan Zhengyong is with Liu Mingcheng, he can always receive calls, why Liu Mingcheng can't answer a call, no matter how bad the signal is, Liu Mingcheng can always receive one call, right?

After the other two calls to Fan Zhengyong, there was no reply from Liu Mingcheng himself. What was even more suspicious was that since Liu Mingcheng and Fan Zhengyong attended the cross-country competition in the city, why was there no name of Fan Zhengyong on the list of participants?
What exactly is Fan Zhengyong avoiding?Xiao Ran's eyes flickered, this Fan Zhengyong was becoming more and more suspicious, and he had to look for Fan Zhengyong's information immediately after returning home.

"What is the relationship between this Fan Zhengyong and Mr. Liu? How did they meet?" Xiao Ran asked.

"He, like my dad, is an off-road enthusiast. I met him in their interest group. He and my dad are old friends. My dad takes him with him everywhere. He often comes to our house for dinner. It's quite A good person." Liu Mingcheng's son said.

"Fan Zhengyong is also from the county?" Xiao Ran asked.

Liu Mingcheng's son shook his head and said, "No, he's from the city, and he seems to be in the sporting goods business."

"In Mr. Liu's circle of friends, there should be a photo of him and Fan Zhengyong together? Can you let me see it?" Xiao Ran said calmly.

"It seems to be there, I'll look it up for you."

Liu Mingcheng's son turned on the phone, searched in his father's circle of friends for a while, clicked on a picture and handed the phone to Xiao Ran: "My dad is on the left, and the one in gray on the right is Fan Zhengyong."

Xiao Ran took the phone, and saw Fan Zhengyong in the group photo, aged 26 or 7, with a long face, thick eyebrows, and thick lower lip. Overall, he looked passable, a kind-hearted young man, especially when he smiled.

In the photo, Fan Zhengyong has a bright smile, giving people a very sincere and reliable feeling, but Xiao Ran has studied the micro-expressions assiduously, and he can see at a glance that in the depths of Fan Zhengyong's curved eyelids, there is a bit of hatred and disgust .

What's more, the Eye of Justice has been quietly beating to remind.

At this moment, Xiao Ran had basically decided in his heart that the deceased was Liu Mingcheng, and the suspect, Fan Zhengyong!

But he knew in his heart that his super-scientific methods could not be used as evidence in court after all.

Xiao Ran saved the photo and sent it to his mobile phone, then handed the phone back to Liu Mingcheng's son, "The question I'm going to ask next may be difficult for you to answer, but please tell me the truth."

"What's the matter? It's only natural to cooperate with the police. Just ask." Ms. Pu said.

Xiao Ran paused for a moment, "I want to know, where does Mr. Liu find substitute runners for the usual games, did he find them himself, or did someone contact him for him?"

"Run for, for? This, this we don't know!"

Ms. Pu and Liu Mingcheng's son were taken aback when they heard the words, they looked at each other blankly, and said seriously: "You mean Lao Liu cheated in the competition? The competition is just for fun, and you can't get any good results. Everyone in their circle knows his level, and it doesn't make sense for him to cheat. ——But even if Lao Liu cheated in the competition, it's nothing. I still need you to investigate ?”

"That's what I'm asking. It doesn't matter if you don't know." Xiao Ran said, then asked a few more questions, and then ended the inquiry.

"Aunt Pu, the toothbrush and cup that Mr. Liu Mingcheng used before are still there, haven't they been replaced? We have to take them away for inspection and comparison." Yu Yu said.

"Yes, yes, no change, I'll get it for you." Ms. Pu said.

"Auntie, don't move, I want to do this." Yu Yu stopped Ms. Pu, then looked at Liu Mingcheng's son, "Mr. Liu, I still need to collect some of your blood samples."

"Oh, yes." Liu Mingcheng's son nodded.

Seeing that Yu Yu finished all this, Xiao Ran asked Ms. Pu to take time to go to the bureau and ask some more detailed information about Liu Mingcheng, and then said goodbye and returned to the city.

Now the facts of the case are basically clear in Xiao Ran's mind, and he feels that the distance is broken, and the last step is almost there!
