Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1232 Iron Eagle

After understanding the situation, Liu Qingshan came to Xu Chunliang and sighed in his heart. Every time he saw him, something bad happened. But this time the trouble happened to Xu Chunliang himself. If Zheng Pei'an's death was determined to be homicide, then Xu Chunliang undoubtedly had a motive for murder.

Although Xu Changshan died in an accident, he was in the process of trying to stop Zheng Pei'an from committing suicide. It is normal for Xu Chunliang to regard Zheng Pei'an as an enemy, and it is very logical for him to develop a revengeful mentality.

Xu Chunliang said calmly: "You can check my call records. I parked my car downstairs, and Zheng Pei'an called me when I happened to pass by here. This should be a trap designed against me."

Liu Qingshan said: "Don't worry, we will investigate it thoroughly, but your freedom will be restricted until the matter is investigated thoroughly."

Xu Chunliang said: "It shouldn't be difficult to investigate. There are surveillance cameras at the scene. The knife is not mine. I haven't even touched the handle."

Liu Qingshan said: "I believe the truth will soon be revealed."

The fingerprint comparison on the fruit knife soon produced results. The fingerprint found on the handle matched Xu Chunliang's. This result puzzled Liu Qingshan. Before the results came out, he believed Xu Chunliang because he investigated where Xu Chunliang parked his car, the time and content of his conversation with Zheng Peian, and basically concluded that this was a setup. However, he could never have imagined that there would be Xu Chunliang's fingerprint on the handle.

Based on his understanding of Xu Chunliang, Xu Chunliang should not lie about this issue, but the evidence is right in front of him.

Lu Qi was also extremely concerned about this matter and came over specifically to inquire about the progress of the investigation.

Liu Qingshan did not hide anything and told him everything he had learned so far.

Lu Qi said: "Impossible, Chunliang would never kill Zheng Pei'an, this is a complete trap, we can check the surveillance at that time."

Liu Qingshan said: "It was rush hour, there were a lot of people on the overpass, and there were a lot of blind spots. Even if there were surveillance cameras, it wouldn't prove anything."

Lu Qi said, "Look, I told you, the place where Zheng Pei'an is must have been carefully chosen. Think about it, how could it be such a coincidence? Zheng Pei'an called Xu Chunliang just after I separated from him when we passed the overpass. How could it be possible if someone wasn't watching him?"

Liu Qingshan smiled bitterly and said, "I also think this matter is very strange, but Xu Chunliang's fingerprints were indeed found on the handle of the fruit knife. The Forensic Science Department has done multiple fingerprint comparisons and can confirm that the fingerprints match Xu Chunliang's."

Lu Qi said: "We all know that there are many ways to forge evidence. If someone collects Xu Chunliang's fingerprints in advance and then copies his fingerprints onto the handle of the knife, then they can successfully forge a crime scene."

Liu Qingshan said, "Theoretically, this is possible, but Zheng Pei'an can't stab himself and then frame Xu Chunliang, right? How much hatred does it take to frame someone at the cost of his own life? The blade pierced accurately through the ribs and into the heart, killing him in one blow, without any hesitation. Most people wouldn't commit suicide in this way, right?"

Lu Qi said: "Don't forget that Zheng Pei'an's main job is a doctor. He and Xu Chunliang have always had a good relationship. It should be impossible for him to frame Xu Chunliang. I guess there are other people."

Liu Qingshan said: "We as police officers cannot use estimates to convict people, we must collect evidence."

Lu Qi asked, "You don't think it was Xu Chunliang who really killed Zheng Pei'an, do you?"

Liu Qingshan shook his head: "One coincidence is possible, but when coincidences occur together, it is definitely impossible. If Xu Chunliang really wanted to kill Zheng Pei'an, why did he choose to do it in public? Why did he leave such obvious evidence? Where did Zheng Pei'an go the night he fled?"

Lu Qi asked: "Since there are so many doubts, why don't you release Xu Chunliang?"

"We have to go through the procedures. He has already contacted a lawyer. We can't make it too obvious in this situation. By the way, can you help me contact Zheng Pei'an's family in Dongzhou?" From Liu Qingshan's words, he didn't think that Xu Chunliang killed Zheng Pei'an.

Lu Qi said: "He has no relatives."

Liu Qingshan said: "That's not right. We just found out that Zheng Pei'an had a short marriage history. He has an ex-wife in Xiangxi."

Lu Qi said: "I haven't heard of it."

Liu Qingshan said: "Zheng Pei'an did not register for marriage, but held a wedding according to the rules of Xiangxi. We have contacted the local police, and they will help us find Zheng Pei'an's ex-wife to see if we can find anything."

After being detained for five hours, Xu Chunliang was allowed to leave the police station, but because his suspicion had not been completely cleared, he could not leave Nanjiang for the time being.

When he came out, Su Qing and the lawyer were waiting for him at the door. Seeing Xu Chunliang, Su Qing trotted over to him and hugged him with her arms.

Xu Chunliang said: "I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."

Su Qing's eyes were red: "Zheng Pei'an is dead?" She had a good impression of Zheng Pei'an before, thinking that he was a humorous and generous elder. She always regarded him as a member of the Xu family. She didn't expect that he actually caused the death of Mr. Xu.

Xu Chunliang's mood was extremely complicated. Before meeting Zheng Pei'an, he did have the intention to kill him, but when he saw Zheng Pei'an's frightened and helpless look on the overpass, he felt some sympathy. He knew very well who caused the tragedy. If his sister-in-law Xu Jiawen had handled the matter more responsibly and tactfully, perhaps the tragedy would not have happened.

Zheng Pei'an's death would not be an accident. If Zheng Pei'an was brave enough to die, he would not have chosen to escape last night. Something unknown must have happened on the night Zheng Pei'an escaped.

At this time, he saw two aunts appear not far away. They were also called by the police to investigate the situation.

Xu Jiawen stood in the distance and looked at Xu Chunliang, not daring to come over. She had not stopped crying since the incident last night. First, her father died unexpectedly, and then she received the news of Zheng Pei'an's death. She put all the blame on herself and was on the verge of mental collapse. Now her nephew Xu Chunliang has become the suspect of killing Zheng Pei'an. If this is true, then she has no courage to face the world.

His daughter Zhen Chun came out later. She had flown from Hong Kong after receiving the news of her grandfather's death and had just arrived in the morning.

Zhen Chun took the initiative to walk towards Xu Chunliang and called him "cousin" with red eyes.

Xu Chunliang nodded without saying anything, and said to Su Qing, "Let's go to the funeral home. My dad should be here soon."

When Xu Jiaxuan arrived at Nanjiang Airport, the sky had already darkened completely. He looked at the time and it was not yet six o'clock.

Lu Qi came specially to pick them up at the airport, and they had met several times before.

Seeing Xu Jiaxuan, dressed in black and wearing sunglasses, coming out, Lu Qi hurried over to greet him: "Uncle Xu."

Xu Jiaxuan nodded to Lu Qi, and Lu Qi took the suitcase from his hand. On the way to the parking lot, Lu Qi briefly recounted what had happened.

After getting in the car, Xu Jiaxuan took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of swollen eyes. It was not because of the long journey, but because they were soaked in tears of regret. Sadness did not conceal the sharpness of his eyes.

"Chunliang couldn't possibly kill Zheng Pei'an. Someone must be behind this."

Lu Qi nodded: "I think so too. The forensic department is currently conducting further verification and comparison of the fingerprints on the knife handle."

Xu Jiaxuan said, "I've seen many plots of forged fingerprints in movies. It shouldn't be complicated. Oh, I have a friend who specializes in research in this area. I can contact him to assist in the investigation."

Lu Qi said: "Uncle Xu, don't worry, we will definitely not let Chunliang suffer injustice."

Xu Jiaxuan did not choose to go directly to the funeral home, but asked Lu Qi to take him to the overpass where his father had the accident.

Two lives have been lost in succession from last night to today, and this overpass is temporarily closed.

Although the police have collected evidence, the entrance to the overpass is still sealed. There are no police on duty at the scene, but passers-by choose to detour after seeing it.

Xu Jiaxuan came to the place where his father had the accident and saw a human-shaped white line drawn on the ground at the exit. He pursed his lips, crossed the cordon and walked in. It was too late for Lu Qi to stop him.

Xu Jiaxuan knelt down beside the white line, as if he saw his father lying on the ground dying, and said silently in his heart: "Dad, the unfilial son is back."

Lu Qi followed him across the cordon and whispered, "Uncle Xu, the alert here has not been lifted yet, let's leave first."

Xu Jiaxuan didn't say anything. He stood up and strode towards the overpass. Lu Qi couldn't stop him and could only follow him.

Xu Jiaxuan saw another human-shaped white line on the overpass. That was where Zheng Pei'an died. He looked up for the surveillance camera on the overpass and imagined the scene of the endless stream of people on the overpass in the early morning.

His cell phone suddenly rang.

Xu Jiaxuan frowned, took out his cell phone and answered the call.

A deep and eerie voice sounded: "Tieying, are you feeling the pain of losing your loved ones now?"

Xu Jiaxuan's heart instantly sank to the bottom: "Who are you?"

"There are no real secrets in this world. You thought you were hiding well enough, you thought you did everything perfectly, but tsk tsk tsk, what a pity! Everyone has weaknesses, and the murderous Iron Eagle is no exception."

Xu Jiaxuan glanced at Lu Qi and waved his hand. Lu Qi stopped and Xu Jiaxuan walked to the other end of the overpass: "Since you dare to do it, why don't you dare to say your name."

He moved to a pillar of the awning and used it as cover to observe the surrounding environment.

"Don't be afraid. If I wanted to kill you, you would have no chance of coming back alive. I just want you to feel the pain of losing your loved ones. First it was your lover Chen Biyuan, now it's your father, and soon it will be your son's turn, the people you care about most. I will let them die in front of you one by one."

Xu Jiaxuan asked: "Who are you?"

"I'll tell you when your son dies." The other party hung up the phone.
