Chapter 290 Is it a vendetta?

This video clip doesn't seem like anything special, it's just a very common yet terrible traffic accident. Common, because it was caused by not following traffic rules, terrible, because the driver stepped on the accelerator at the end.

Nian Baixiao was stunned and pointed at the frozen surveillance video. "Why did you keep driving forward after hitting someone? Was it a revenge?"

"The two had no previous contact. We checked and found out they didn't know each other," said Chen Yezhou.

"To prevent future troubles." Hang Si said suddenly, "If you injure someone, you have to pay compensation and be responsible for all medical treatment, which is a long-term torture. Killing someone is much simpler, and you only need to pay a lump sum of money."

Nian Baixiao understood this truth, but as someone who has been dealing with cars for many years, he could not agree with this. If one intentionally ran someone over, he would probably have a psychological trauma when driving in the future.

Chen Yezhou said, "Situations like what you said do exist, but the owner of the car refused to admit that he did it on purpose."

Fang Sheng snorted coldly, "You definitely can't admit it. If you admit it, wouldn't it be murder on purpose?"

At that time, everyone would say that they stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake in a hurry.

The problem now is that Liu Jun's family chose to settle and pay compensation, and the matter is over.

During the whole process, Lu Nanshen did not speak. Rather than looking at the screen, it was more like he was in deep thought. But Hang Si felt that he was listening attentively. However, what was he listening to? After the secondary processing of the monitoring, many sounds may have been blocked.

He watched the scene of the car accident three times before asking Chen Yezhou, "What did the driver say at the time?"

Chen Yezhou said, "The driver said he was stepping on the brakes, insisting that he was stepping on the brakes, but it turned out to be accelerating. He said he was too nervous at the time."

Hang Si asked Lu Nanshen, "Is there anything suspicious?"

Lu Nanshen shook his head, thought for a moment and asked Hang Si, "Do you feel anything is wrong?"

Hang Si also shook her head. She was sitting next to Lu Nanshen. While he was listening to the sound, she also tried to feel anything abnormal in the surveillance footage. However, the camera was at a distance, and the quality and sound conditions of the footage were all there, so she couldn't feel anything.

The deceased was riding an electric bike, so there is no way to collect evidence, but...

"Can we contact the driver who caused the accident?" Lu Nanshen asked.

Chen Yezhou is a very thorough person. He had already done what Lu Nanshen asked about. "Yes, he moved to another city after that incident. We contacted him a while ago and asked him about the accident scene again. His statement was consistent with the confession he provided at that time."

The other party was quite repulsive, and it took him a long time to talk about what happened at that time. Chen Yezhou was surprised that Lu Nanshen asked this, "You don't want to meet that person in person, do you?"

"You have to see the person and the car." Lu Nanshen said.

After Chen Yezhou left, Hang Si asked Lu Nanshen, "If the car accident was really related to Tian Dayu, he should have been at the scene of the accident, right? Or do you suspect that he is using the same old tricks again?" Lu Nanshen fiddled with the practice piano that Hang Si used, and helped to adjust the strings while thinking. "Whether it was two years ago or two years later, the murderer used sound to commit the crime. He seems to be particularly obsessed with this. So I believe that if the murderer is Tian Dayu, if he wants to kill people to silence them, he must have used the same method to commit the crime, and he may be nearby."

The driver was named Chen Hu. After compensating Liu Jun's family, his life was not very good. He used to work in a large factory with good salary and benefits. He was also a very motivated person and he also became a department manager in the company.

Just like what Chen Yezhou said, Chen Hu killed someone in a car accident and could no longer stay in the company. He also spent almost all of his family's assets, including the money he had planned to spend on his marriage. When his fiancée learned about this, she left without looking back. Chen Hu did not return to his hometown, but moved to a nearby city and rarely contacted his family.

In a car accident, one person lost his life and the other lost his future.

Lu Nanshen and Hang Si found Chen Hu according to the address given by Chen Yezhou. He rented a studio and supported himself by taking on some sporadic post-production jobs for commercials. He usually ate and lived in the studio.

If they had just explained their intentions, they would have been rejected. Chen Yezhou, a policeman, didn't give them a good face. The two came as customers, and when Chen Hu opened the door for them, his face was full of suspicion and scrutiny.

According to information provided by the police, Chen Hu is 30 years old this year. He was in high spirits before the car accident, but looked haggard after the accident, just as Lu Nanshen and Hang Si saw.

Not to mention his unkempt appearance, his hair was disheveled, his beard was untidy, and he was wearing a wrinkled blue plaid home clothes. He was wearing a black down vest with a few white fluff sticking out from the seams of the vest.

The man in front of me really couldn't be associated with the high-spirited man in the previous photo. The only thing that could symbolize his former gentleness and elegance was the pair of gold-rimmed glasses he was wearing.

After Chen Hu opened the door, he didn't invite them in immediately, but just kept looking at them. Hang Si could smell a sour smell coming from the room.

"You two are not customers." Chen Hu said bluntly. Although he was sloppy, the eyes behind the lenses were extremely sharp.

Lu Nanshen didn't answer directly, but asked, "How do you know we are not customers?"

"People in our line of work would contact each other online and would never waste time meeting offline. Even if we do meet, we would meet in a coffee shop instead of going to someone's home." Chen Hu was still holding the door with one hand, and it was obvious that he was a very alert person.

"Since we are going to be partners soon, wouldn't it be better for us to have them come to my house to enhance our relationship?" Lu Nanshen's emotions were quite stable. In Hang Si's opinion, they were so stable that one couldn't wait to have someone beat him up.

"Now that we're here, why don't you invite us in?"

Chen Hu frowned, "Who are you?"

"The one who gave you the money." Lu Nanshen looked at him and added casually, "Also, the one who can clear your name."

Chen Hu didn't react to the first half of the sentence, but was stunned when he heard the second half. For a long time, he asked, "...what do you mean?"

Lu Nanshen signaled with his eyes, and Chen Hu hesitated for a moment, but still turned sideways.

It was a small room, and the layout and furnishings were clear at a glance, but there was actually not much furniture. There was a narrow entrance hall, and on one side of the entrance hall was the bathroom, and next to the bathroom was a simple open kitchen, with a small aluminum pot tilted on the stove cover, and in the pot there was something that looked like noodles that had not been eaten.

Hang Si also took a quick look and found the source of the sour smell in the room. It was leftover noodles that had been there for who knows how long, with a layer of green mold on top.
