I started out as a criminal, and the police relied on me to solve countless cases.

Chapter 259 Are you reporting it too?

"I report Wu Lin, Liu Mingyuan's childhood friend, for kidnapping Liu Mingyuan and possibly murdering him!"

Wu had thought that someone might betray him, but he never thought it would be the woman who spoke.

"Squad leader, please don't talk nonsense. Liu Mingyuan is my good brother. We grew up wearing the same pants. How could I possibly harm him?!"

Wu's voice was low and his body did not move at all. He just rolled his eyes and stared at the charming and seductive female squad leader who still had her charm.

"What are you going to do? The police are here today. Do you want to threaten me?"

Although the female squad leader was fearless, she was still frightened by Wu's bloodshot eyes.

"I also reported that I drank too much that night and forgot a lot of things. After recalling these days, coupled with the wonderful performance of this professional crew and actors, I have completely remembered it!!"

Before the female squad leader could continue speaking, the middle-aged man in an executive jacket sitting in the upper seat had already spoken. His surname was Wang and he worked in the government.

However, he was not like the female squad leader, who was frightened to death by Wu's look.

Instead, he sat upright and looked seriously at the ugly-looking man opposite him.

Director Li crossed his arms and stared at the city's celebrity. He clearly saw that this official, who had neatly combed hair, wore gold-rimmed glasses and had an upright appearance, actually had a hint of mockery at the corners of his mouth.

"Didn't this guy say that yesterday? Lao Li, are all the people the government bans so sinister?"

Lao Cao squinted his eyes and lit a cigarette, not paying any attention to the no-smoking sign on the wall.

He didn't have a good word to say about Director Wang.

For no other reason than this person was the one who said at an important meeting that the Jiangcheng Police Department was just sitting there doing nothing.

"Lao Cao, stop complaining. He agreed to come for questioning yesterday because he wanted to give face to our bureau. Otherwise, with his connections, if he said a few words during the meeting, we would have to suffer the consequences."

Old Li waved his hand, glanced at Jiang Hanwen who had stopped eating, and followed suit, ignoring everything else and concentrating on eating.

The following dog-eat-dog scene is better heard with your ears.

Sure enough, Director Wang, this role model, gave in.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became chaotic. All the good men and women seemed to have suddenly become enlightened as if they had eaten city bean paste buns. They overturned all the statements they made at the police station yesterday.

"I reported Wu Lin, and it was my brother Liu who took Wu Lin away. When he left, he said that this kid was too proud and deserved to be punished. I think he has harmed everyone in these days!"

"That's right. Wu Lin was drunk at the time and didn't use any light force when he attacked. Old Liu was even more drunk. We should arrest Wu and interrogate him now!"

"We all think there's something wrong with Wu Lin. We saw that they were not in a good state at the time and thought something might happen, but we have no evidence. We can't just throw dirty water on others in the police station. Uncle police, you have to act quickly and interrogate Wu Lin carefully. Who knows where he might have hidden Lao Liu."

"You bastards! Each of you is a good classmate of Lao Liu. You have come to my house during every festival. Why did you do this? Why! Ahhhhh~~~"

The reporting meeting at the table was just halfway through when it was interrupted by a sharp female voice from the next table.

I saw a woman in a plain black dress with red eyes yelling at Wu's table like a madman.

"You all knew that Old Liu was taken away by Wu, why didn't you say anything? You all pretended to be dumb and even lied to the police saying you didn't know anything when you got to the police station? Why? How much money did Wu give you? I'll give you ten times! I just don't believe it. Our Liu Group has so many businesses, but they can't compare to a useless cook in your hands!!"

"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. I am a cook, but I am not a loser. I sent Lao Liu downstairs that night. He was sober and said he wanted to leave by himself. I was so drunk that I got in the car and rested. As for where he went, I really don't know."

Wu put on a smiling face. He had been to Liu Mingyuan's house and had seen this beautiful and dignified sister-in-law, but he had never seen her so crazy.

But he didn't reveal any clues.

It turns out that people who are not of the same kind will not enter the same door.

All he talks about is spending money, and even the words he says are the same.

"You don't have to believe me, but I still say the same thing, if you want to doubt me, show me the evidence."

Wu had a smile on his face. He knew very well that no one would have thought of what he had done.

Not to mention that it was a small county town more than 100 kilometers away from Jiangcheng, and the things were thrown into the weeds on the pond dam and were covered tightly by weeds.

If someone is not looking for it specifically, it cannot be seen at all.

By the time someone discovers it, it may be too late, and by then all valuable identity information on the dead person will have disappeared.

That's high-concentration sulfuric acid. If the deceased isn't boiled into rotten meat soup, he will be carbonized into a dried human body. No matter how we investigate, we won't be able to find the cause.

"Evidence? You said you wanted evidence?"

Unexpectedly, Liu Mingyuan's wife did not say anything and the police were still watching.

Director Wang, who was wearing gold-rimmed glasses, pointed to the table of the crew.

"Wu Lin, how can you be so sure? The crew really has no evidence?"

After Director Wang said this, everyone's eyes turned to Jiang Hanwen's crew.

Since they were able to recreate this class reunion so vividly, it's possible that they really have some evidence.

"What are you doing? Our crew is only responsible for filming the scene. The police are in charge of the case."

Jiang Hanwen put down his chopsticks and glanced at Old Li, who had a bitter look on his face, and Old Cao, who was about to attack someone.

He looked at the gentle and serious Director Wang with contempt.

He suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of absurdity.

Is the so-called truth story in your mind 100% true?

Yes, that's right. Files are often recorded in detail and accurately, but they are text after all. The same thing repeated by one person and ten people will become two completely different stories.

If hundreds or thousands of people were to narrate the story at the same time, it would inevitably end up in the embarrassing situation of calling a horse a zebra.

He remembered the contents of the file.

Remember how Wu committed the crime and what his motive was.

Mr. Wu is a cook. Although he graduated from university, he has never been in that hellish circle. All he has to deal with every day is cooking chicken, duck, fish and meat. How much skill do you expect from him?
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is half a reckless man.

"All of Liu's relatives and friends are here today, as are the police officers. I, Wu Lin, swear here that Liu Mingyuan's disappearance has nothing to do with me. You can investigate. As for your crew, as long as you can provide sufficient evidence that I committed the crime, I will never quibble."

While Wu was speaking, his eyes were looking at Director Wang opposite him.

He clearly remembered that when Lao Liu said he wanted to buy the store and let him manage it, although he was excited at that time, he had not yet developed the idea of ​​killing someone.

Does this sound wrong? It seems not, but when Wu heard this, he was really furious. He had long planned to deal with Liu Mingyuan.

He had this idea just before the other party invited him to dinner again and again, but it was just a thought and would never become a reality.

But the reality now is that I took advantage of Liu Mingyuan's drunkenness, knocked him unconscious, sealed his mouth with super glue, pushed him into a bucket, and then put him into the bucket. Without hesitation, I burned my childhood friend through with concentrated sulfuric acid.

It was really burned through.

Why do I feel so confused?

Wu didn't care about other people's gazes, but under the double attack from Jiang Hanwen and Director Wang, he was actually a little panicked.

As long as the body is not found, I will never admit it.

Wu secretly decided that no matter what the strange crew did later, he would not get involved.

Now, the crew, the police, and Mr. Wu have all fallen silent.

Only Liu Mingyuan's wife was left, screaming hysterically under the gaze of everyone, banging the table and crying.

She is not a vase, nor an idiot. Whether it is Director Wang or the man surnamed Wu, each of their words has hidden meanings. How could she not hear that it is obvious that her husband is in danger.

She didn't understand why. Liu Mingyuan was not a bad person. He was a businessman with a big business, almost monopolizing the shipping industry in Jiangcheng. The Liu Group was different from other companies. It didn't have so much debt. There were a lot of real money lying on the books.

Liu Mingyuan does not get involved in real estate, does not seek high turnover, does not suck the blood of the common people, and does not do evil things that would anger God and people.

My husband once told me that a house is the land that the tenant farmers used to cultivate, the real estate developers are the big landlords, and the mortgage is the imperial grain that the tenants have to pay to the landlords.

This is a tax on the poor. It is a practice of draining the pond to catch fish and killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Sooner or later it will incur the wrath of God and the resentment of the people.

Therefore, the Liu Group is honestly engaged in shipping, logistics, and trade to earn some solid money.

So?

Why would such a person end up like this? He never did evil, but only did good things. Is this a sin?
"Woooooo~~~"

The woman's roar turned into hoarse retching, and finally into inaudible crying.

She stood up, straightened her wrinkled skirt, and walked straight towards Jiang Hanwen's crew.

Under the surprised gaze of everyone, she sat down on the ground in front of Jiang Hanwen like a sullen village woman and hugged Jiang Hanwen's calves with her arms.

Then she raised her head and looked at Jiang Hanwen with red eyes. The makeup on her face had long been smudged, and traces of tears were clearly visible.

"Mrs. Liu, what are you doing? Aren't you going to find the police to look for me? Let me tell you, the guy just now, Captain Cao, answered the phone. Judging from his expression, he should have news about your husband."

Jiang Hanwen really has no time to eat now.

The dinner scene just now is over. Jiang Hanwen was originally extremely relaxed. He just watched people fighting as a mere spectator, just like Director Li and the others.

Unexpectedly, the woman cried for a long time and came to me again.

"Jiang Hanwen, I know you. My man doesn't come into my house every day. He watches your videos on the sofa in the living room. The products in your small yellow cart, knives, meat grinders, etc., I don't have a cat at home, but he bought a lot of cat food to boost your sales. Just help him because Lao Liu is also your loyal fan."

The woman's voice was completely choked with sobs, as if she was tired of crying. She was half sitting and half lying, hugging Jiang Hanwen's calf. As she spoke, her throat became hoarse and she could hardly make a sound.

The various bosses and businessmen who had been silent in the restaurant now had no more roles to play and began to chat in low voices with their heads down.

"Jiang Hanwen? Who is Jiang Hanwen? What does this Madam Liu mean? Why is she looking for an actor instead of asking the police for help when she's looking for her husband? Is he her lover?"

"The guy with the braided hair is Jiang Hanwen, a famous internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers on TikTok. You watch short videos every day, so you must have watched the dog."

"Bullshit, I'm so busy at work every day, I don't have time to watch short videos."

"What is going on here? Police chief Li Youfu is standing there and letting an outsider take the lead. Is there some inside story here?"

"Hehe, there are many inside stories that you don't know. I heard that Lao Liu plans to build a building for his employees with his annual salary, and then take out one-third of the company's profits to build low-rent housing."

"What? Is he crazy? This is a way to die."

"Shut up and keep your voice down. Do you want to quit your job? The police are here! And that guy surnamed Wang will be the director of the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau in the middle of the year. If you want to die, don't splatter my blood."

++
Jiang Hanwen looked at the woman who was already crying and sighed.

He stopped Zhou Nana and Xiaolu from helping the person up.

In her current state, she should just sit however is comfortable.

Jiang Hanwen can empathize with women, as if his wife was put into an iron barrel and burned with concentrated sulfuric acid.

Jiang Hanwen didn't mind making the murderer's entire family into century egg and lean meat porridge, which was slow-cooked for seventy-two hours.

On the left, the capable-looking Director Wang hung up the phone and was smiling at him. Director Li and Captain Cao at the opposite table were smiling bitterly at him.

You want me to be the bad guy without saying anything?

Looking at the expressions of these two groups of people, Jiang Hanwen knew that the DNA comparison results of Liu Mingyuan were out.

This speed is not surprising. In order to find Liu Mingyuan, the police had collected a large amount of NDA information such as Liu Mingyuan's hair in advance, and even a tube of blood sample left after his physical examination in the hospital.

Jiang Hanwen really didn't want to tell the woman this news.

Her beloved husband was murdered by her childhood friend.

He was strangled unconscious and put into an iron barrel, then scalded alive with concentrated sulfuric acid until he became like a lamb rib. He looked like a boiled egg, curled up in the dark iron barrel.

Even if this woman can bear it, she will most likely go crazy.

Jiang Hanwen half smiled, then shook his head, still smiling bitterly and looking down at the woman.

Just as he was about to speak, the woman interrupted him.

"Thank you, Director Jiang! I understand. You are better than them. You are a kind-hearted person~~"

The woman wiped away her tears and held onto the table leg.

He stood up staggeringly, pushed away the butler who came to support him, and slowly sat back in his seat.

The emotions on his face disappeared, and he sat there like a clay Buddha, not saying a word.
