Chapter 51 The Longtan Island Massacre (22)
Since the investigation of the case, basically everything that needs to be investigated has been clarified, and the ins and outs of the case have been sorted out. With Li Pingping surfacing, the fog surrounding the case has gradually dissipated, but Yao and Shun were quite puzzled. That is, so far, Li Pingping's whereabouts are still a mystery, and she has not appeared in any of the investigation results.Moreover, she not only hid herself very well, but also manipulated everything so perfectly in secret, which was the most puzzling thing for Yao and Shun.

"I'm thinking that Li Pingping can let Ma Guoming do things for her because Ma Guoming and her experience are similar. When she adopted Ma Guoming, she also trained him to be a talent. It is understandable that Ma Guoming obeyed Li Pingping's orders, but what about Lu Yonglin? He is not an orphan. Judging from the investigation, he and Li Pingping seem to have nothing to do with each other, but why did Li Pingping let Lu Yonglin be the middleman in the robbery case? You must know that she conveyed all his plans completely through the middleman, if If something goes wrong in this intermediate link, her overall plan may be ruined. Why does she trust Lu Yonglin so much? Li Pingping is a smart person, she can't just find someone who doesn't trust her at all to do this." Yao Shun Said.

"That's right, since Li Pingping can think of adopting Ma Guoming, then train him to become a talent, and then let him invest in Rongchang, so as to gradually eat away the entire Rongchang. Such a ruthless move that kills without blood shows how thorough her plan is. She shouldn't It is possible to use someone who is completely untrustworthy to play such an important role as an intermediary in a robbery case. Since she used Lu Yonglin, it can prove that she trusts him very much, but in Lu Yonglin's interpersonal relationship, no suspicious person has been found , unless..." Wang Yuekai hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Unless the relationship between this person and Lu Yonglin is so special that we ignored it or didn't investigate it very carefully during the investigation."

"The relationship is very special?"

Yao Shun closed his eyes, frowned and fell into deep thought. He felt that Wang Yuekai's words did have some truth.

"Since Xu Shanchuan could hide his name back then, Li Pingping could naturally. Even so, what kind of special relationship would she have with Lu Yonglin, so that she would let Lu Yonglin play such an important role as a middleman in the robbery case? The most important point is to When investigating Lu Yonglin, I didn't find any clues about her, why is that?"

Yaoshun felt that there was a completely transparent but solid door between himself and the truth. Standing in front of the door, he seemed to be able to see the truth of the case, but he could not open the door to touch the truth, because his hand There is still a key missing, a key to open this barrier door.

Suddenly, Yaoshun seemed to have thought of something, he opened his eyes, and then searched through a pile of documents on the desktop.

Afterwards, he took out several transcripts of the inquiry, compared them carefully, and handed the transcripts to Wang Yuekai.

"These transcripts belong to Lu Yonglin's wife Liao Fang, Lu Yonglin's neighbor, and Gong Xiuyun. Let's see if there is any problem," Yao Shun said.

After taking the transcript, Wang Yuekai carefully read it line by line.

After a long time, Wang Yuekai also seemed to have discovered the problem. He pointed to the contents of one of the transcripts and said, "Do you suspect that there is a problem with this time?"

The time Wang Yuekai mentioned refers to the time point of "two months" mentioned in several transcripts.First of all, Lu Yonglin began beating and scolding Liao Fang two months ago, and Lu Yonglin's neighbors can also prove this; secondly, He Yaoyang borrowed money from the boss behind the robbery also happened two months ago.

"Don't you think there is a bit of a coincidence in the timing of these two events?" Yaoshun asked.

"Well, the time when Lu Yonglin and Liao Fang quarreled was two months ago. If their husband and wife often had conflicts, it is impossible for the neighbor not to mention it. On the contrary, the confession of the neighbor is exactly the same as the time mentioned by Liao Fang, and it happens that It happened to coincide with the time when He Yaoyang asked the behind-the-scenes boss for money through Lu Yonglin, there is indeed something wrong with it, is this another round?" Wang Yuekai asked doubtfully.

"It's very possible. Through our investigation, we found that Lu Yonglin not only has character problems, but also is very lecherous. He often hangs out with young ladies in hotels. If Liao Fang really wants to quarrel with him, I believe it is impossible to only start in these two months. , but the fact is that the neighbors have reported that the conflict between the husband and wife only started two months ago, and the cause was that Lu Yonglin took the woman home to spend the night. It's not that Lu Yonglin didn't have money to open a room in the hotel, why did he bring the woman home What about staying overnight? Is it really to satisfy his perverted psychology as Liao Fang said? But if so, why didn’t it happen before, and why did it become like this after He Yaoyang asked him to ask the boss behind the scenes for money?”

"It does seem to be a bit of a show, it seems that they deliberately want people to testify about the relationship between their husband and wife, but why did Lu Yonglin do this? Or is this another Li Pingping's trick? If so, then for her, Let Lu Yonglin and Liao Fang's emotional conflict intensify, what benefit can she get from it?"

Wang Yuekai was quite puzzled by this.

"What if her purpose of doing this is to play a 'sorrowful card' to win our sympathy, so as to divert our investigation attention away from her?"

"The sad card? You mean, Liao Fang is Li Pingping!"

Wang Yuekai was so surprised that he almost yelled out the last few words. He felt very inconceivable about Yaoshun's bold guess. If such a hypothesis is true, it will definitely change the case drastically.

"But Li Pingping and Liao Fang look completely different!"

After calming down, Wang Yuekai picked up Li Pingping's portrait and photo and looked at it carefully for a long time, but neither the photo nor the portrait could find anything similar to Liao Fang.

"What if she has plastic surgery? Although my guess is bold, don't you think that only in this way can all the doubts be solved?" Yao Shun calmly analyzed, "According to our previous guess, if Li Pingping is a The real culprit behind the series of cases, so she used Ma Guoming because she adopted Ma Guoming, and she was kind to him, so Ma Guoming obeyed her, but what about Lu Yonglin? Why did Li Pingping trust him so much and let him take the lead? What about such an important role as the "middleman" in the robbery? And according to my previous reasoning, if the conflict between Lu Yonglin and his wife is a scene that Li Pingping asked him to act, then why would he agree with Li Pingping's plan? What is the purpose of such a scene? I thought before that maybe Li Pingping used the robbery to blackmail Lu Yonglin, make him obedient, and then intensify the conflict with his wife Liao Fang. This reason seems reasonable, but But it can't stand scrutiny, because even if the relationship between Lu Yonglin and Liao Fang deteriorates, it will not be of any benefit to Li Pingping. Since there is no benefit, why does Li Pingping let Lu Yonglin and his wife play such a boring scene? Whether it is a jewelry robbery or a homicide, the real murderer behind the scenes has always emphasized the need to maintain the so-called "broken relationship". If the real murderer behind the scenes is Li Pingping, it stands to reason that she should cut off contact with everyone after the robbery , so that even if something happens to the rest of the people in the future, no one can find her, including Lu Yonglin, the "middleman". Among the people involved in the robbery, the person most likely to know the whereabouts of Li Pingping, even when He Yaoyang asked Lu Yonglin to ask the boss behind the scene for money, Lu Yonglin's answer was not that he could not find the boss behind the scene, but told him that the boss behind the scene did not agree to give the money. This means that Lu Yonglin and Li Pingping, the behind-the-scenes boss, should still keep in touch with each other, and this just goes against the "broken relationship" that the behind-the-scenes boss has always emphasized. So why does Li Pingping, the behind-the-scenes boss, always keep in touch with Lu Yonglin? And why did he trust Lu Yonglin and let him play such an important role as a middleman? I think there is no more reasonable explanation than this, other than the answer that Li Pingping and Lu Yonglin are husband and wife."

"Well, if you look at it according to your reasoning, it is true that all the doubts have been solved, and it is basically reasonable, but the key problem now is that these are just speculations, and we have no real evidence to support them. Already killed, even if Liao Fang is really Li Pingping, we have nothing to do with her."

"Although Lu Yonglin is dead, we have no real evidence, but fortunately there is another witness." Yao Shun said with a sly smile.

"You mean Ma Guoming?"

"That's right, it's Ma Guoming. I didn't think that when Liao Fang was Li Pingping, I didn't dare to touch Ma Guoming, but now I can move him out. The reason why Li Pingping adopted Ma Guoming was because of his experience and her own. It is very similar to this point, and in fact, she can use Ma Guoming to act as an intermediary, so that there is no need to find another Lu Yonglin, not to mention Ma Guoming's identity at the time, he is the most suitable candidate for the robbery. , no one would have thought that he would find someone to rob his jewelry store, but Li Pingping went so far as to find another Lu Yonglin. The only reasonable explanation for her doing so might be out of a mentality of protecting Ma Guoming, she knew very well Everything I have done, I also know how my ending will be. However, Ma Guoming is innocent in all these incidents. She does not want Ma Guoming's future to be ruined because of her hatred. This seems to explain why by the way After everything was over, the reason why Ma Guoming continued to drive the 'Golden Jade Mantang', after all, in all the cases, Ma Guoming was not directly involved, and he just used normal competitive methods to bring down Rongchang."

"If that's the case, then Li Pingping still has some humanity."

"I also hope that the guess is correct, because this is the only breakthrough we can take advantage of at present."

"It seems that it's finally time to close the net." Wang Yuekai said a little excitedly.

Although Yao and Shun did not express their detailed plan clearly, Wang Yuekai already understood the meaning of it. I believe the mystery of the truth will be revealed soon.

no smoke ending
Under the leadership of Yao Shun and Wang Yuekai, two groups of scouts launched operations at the same time. They took Ma Guoming and Liao Fang back to the police station from Jinyumantang Jewelry Store and Liao Fang's home respectively. Since there was no substantial evidence, they were brought back to the police station. The reason for the bureau was to assist in the investigation, so the whole operation was very calm and there was nothing thrilling about it.

At the same time, another group of scouts launched an in-depth investigation on Liao Fang. In fact, what the result of this "head-on confrontation" would be, Yao Shun was also a little uneasy. Although he was very confident in his reasoning, but He couldn't predict how Ma Guoming and Liao Fang would respond.

All this is undoubtedly a "gamble" for Yao and Shun. Since it is a "gamble", no one can say that they are sure to win, because no one can win the "gamble", only the probability of winning The problem, fortunately, is that Yao and Shun still hold the "card" of Ma Guoming. Judging from the situation, his winning rate seems to be relatively higher.

In the corridor of the police station, Ma Guoming and Liao Fang met.

Perhaps she never thought of this before, Ma Guoming subconsciously stopped the moment she saw Liao Fang, Liao Fang glanced at the other party, she was taken aback for a moment, but she quickly looked away and continued to walk forward, Ma Guoming Seeing this, he also turned his head to one side, and walked into the interrogation room on the side under the lead of the scout.

Yao and Shun were in charge of interrogating Liao Fang. This was the second time the two met, but the nature was different. The first time Liao Fang was interrogated as a family member of the victim, but this time he was the first suspect in the case. , but since there was no substantive evidence, Yao and Shun just invited her to the reception room.

It was Yao Shun's deliberate arrangement to let her and Ma Guoming meet in the aisle. The purpose was to see the reaction of the two of them when they met without warning. Yao and Shun could clearly see what was captured by the surveillance camera in the surveillance room. What he did was also a preparation for the ensuing interrogation.

After Liao Fang was seated, Yao and Shun began to ask questions.

"You don't need to introduce yourself! This is the second time we have met."

"I don't know what Officer Yao wanted to know when he came to me this time?"

There was no nervous expression on Liao Fang's face, and there was no unnecessary movement in her body. Just like the previous meeting, she was still so calm.

"It's still about the murder of your husband Lu Yonglin. According to our investigation, he was directly related to a jewelry robbery ten years ago, and this jewelry company was the Rongchang Jewelry Company he worked for back then."

Seeing that Liao Fang had no special reaction, Yao and Shun were not in a hurry, he knew that what was needed now was patience, and being anxious would only waste all previous efforts.

"Really? I don't know much about him." Liao Fang replied blankly.

"Are you really not sure?"

"Yes, let alone ten years ago, I don't even know what happened in recent years."

"You and Lu Yonglin have been married for more than ten years!"

"Almost 12 years."

"According to our investigation, Lu Yonglin often takes different women to open rooms in hotels, and nightclubs are commonplace. I really admire how your marriage lasted for such a long time. During these 12 years, you really Have you ever thought about leaving him?"

"Didn't I say it before, if it wasn't for the sake of money, I would have left him long ago."

"Money is really so important to you? You can even tolerate your husband being with other women for money? And it lasted for 12 years?" Yao Shun asked in confusion.

"I don't deny that money is really important to me. In this world, I believe that there is no one who is not interested in money. Although money is not everything, it is absolutely impossible to have no money. As long as he can give me money Hua, let me live a carefree life, it doesn't matter what kind of woman he is with."

Liao Fang said these words very calmly, she made no secret that she is a woman who only pursues material enjoyment, it seems that to her, nothing is really important except money.

"Then in the two months before Lu Yonglin's accident, did you ever think about leaving him?"

"Officer Yao, I don't understand what you mean by asking these questions? Is the matter between our husband and wife related to the jewelry robbery you just mentioned?" Liao Fang asked in confusion.

"It's hard to say whether it's related or not, but according to our investigation, when you started to quarrel two months ago, one of the robbers approached Lu Yonglin, so regarding all the incidents two months ago, we All must be investigated, no matter how big or small." Yao Shun explained.

"In the two months before his accident, I even wanted to kill him. Maybe it was because of my repeated patience that he got worse. He even brought women home and let me watch them go to bed. But it's okay. Now that he's dead, my nightmare is over."

When Liao Fang said these words, her face was still expressionless, without sadness or anger, as if she was telling someone else's story.

"By the way, you and Lu Yonglin have been together for so long, you should know someone named Ma Guoming?"

Yao and Shun began to gradually shift the topic to the key point.

Liao Fang didn't answer immediately when she heard the words. After thinking for a while, she said, "Yes, this person is the owner of Rongchang Jewelry Shop. I heard from Lu Yonglin that Ma Guoming introduced him to work in Rongchang. When we got married, the jewelry we got was all I bought it, I remember that he received us at that time, so I have a little impression."

"Then besides knowing that Ma Guoming and Lu Yonglin are bosses and subordinates, do you know how their relationship is in private?"

"I don't know." Liao Fang blurted out without thinking.

"I hope you can think clearly before answering, because this matter is very important to our police, we have reason to suspect that Ma Guoming is probably the real culprit behind the planning of the jewelry robbery that year, and Lu Yonglin was hired by him to be in charge of contacting the robbers middleman, and he is very likely to be the real murderer of Lu Yonglin's murder."

Upon hearing this, Liao Fang's face suddenly flashed a look of uneasiness, but she soon regained her composure.

Although Liao Fang's expression changed very quickly, even in less than a second, he couldn't escape Yaoshun's eyes. This slight change also made him more sure of his previous deduction.

"Is Ma Guoming really such a person? I remember that when I went to buy jewelry, I felt that he was quite nice, and he didn't seem like someone who would do that kind of thing! Besides, he is the owner of a jewelry store, so it should be impossible to rob Your own jewelry is fine! Have you checked it out? Don’t fall into Lu Yonglin’s trap, you’ve wronged a good man!”

Although Lu Yonglin was her husband, Liao Fang did not say a good word for him, but instead proved Ma Guoming's innocence.

"In your heart, it seems that Lu Yonglin's status is not as good as that of an outsider! You would rather believe that an outsider is innocent than that your husband is innocent."

"A person like him, there is nothing he can't do. I don't want a good person to be framed by him. His death is his own business. You can't implicate innocent people. This is no problem!" Liao Fang said coldly. replied.

"Unfortunately, according to our investigation results, Ma Guoming is indeed the mastermind." Yaoshun said with a serious expression and affirmative tone.
