deep sin

Chapter 185 Illness
When Cheng Feng asked the question, An Changpu and Qin Ruonan didn't speak, and Cheng Feng didn't urge them. He looked at them silently and gave them time to think.

The first person to speak was An Changpu. After careful consideration, he expressed his thoughts to Cheng Feng: "Releasing people... Actually speaking, there is no problem. The recent investigation did not find any supplementary evidence for Cui Lidong. As for other evidence of suspicion, since the evidence chain cannot be formed, it is unreasonable to keep people temporarily detained here, but I still have some concerns."

At this point, he paused, Cheng Feng encouraged him to continue, and he continued: "Although Cui Lidong's actions in recent years can indeed be seen, he is trying to learn from his past bad habits. Draw a clear line, but those unfavorable criminal records and family background, after all, still exist objectively, we have to believe that people will learn to improve, but this kind of belief needs a trial period, not blindly I believe it. So my opinion is that there is no problem in letting him go, but after letting him go, it is best to temporarily limit his range of activities and monitor his whereabouts."

"Your point of view is similar to what I think," Cheng Feng nodded, and then realized that Qin Ruonan hadn't said, "Ruonan, what do you mean?"

Qin Ruonan frowned, obviously after some deep thinking: "My opinion is that Cui Lidong cannot be released for the time being."

An Changpu was stunned. Qin Ruonan's answer surprised him. During the investigation work during this period, although Qin Ruonan and Cui Lidong did not have a deep relationship, she still cared about and trusted Cui Lidong. , I thought that she would support the release of Cui Lidong without hesitation on this kind of issue, but unexpectedly, her point of view was not to let go!
Cheng Feng was not too surprised. He didn't intervene too much in this case. He just observed Qin Ruonan's performance carefully as a superior and made sure that she could handle the matter objectively and fairly. Ruonan is more inclined to trust Cui Lidong, which he doesn't understand.

"Why not let him go? Is it because you still have doubts about Cui Lidong, or is it because of other considerations?" He asked Qin Ruonan.

"If we simply take Cui Lidong's suspicion as the starting point, An Changpu's proposal just now is already feasible, but I have other concerns." Qin Ruonan has obviously considered it very maturely, and is not worried about the relationship with his own. Partners and superiors share their conclusions, "During this time, because I haven't found any more evidence to confirm Cui Lidong's suspicion, I have also considered that if he is not the perpetrator, then he must have been framed, the real murderer Intentionally pointing the finger at Cui Lidong, intending to use him to confuse our attention, interfere with the investigation, and even evade legal sanctions."

"I have also considered this point. If Cui Lidong hadn't killed Song Chengliang, the details of the left-handed haircut scissors and the cut off ears as the murder weapon would be too deliberate. Cui Lidong is left-handed and has a brand-name left-handed haircut scissors. It’s like being treated as a baby by him, these are not secrets, and many people know about them, it’s not difficult if someone uses these characteristics to make him suspect.” As another main person in charge of the Song Chengliang case, An Changpu is very concerned about Cui. Whether Lidong was framed or not was carefully considered.

"That's why I don't approve of letting Cui Lidong go. If I'm worried about his mood swings or dissatisfaction, I can be responsible for his ideological work. No matter what angle you look at right now, whether Cui Lidong is a suspect or someone deliberately If he was framed, keeping him in the Public Security Bureau would do more good than harm." Qin Ruonan was very firm about not being able to release Cui Lidong, "If Cui Lidong wasn't the real murderer, then the murderer who killed Song Chengliang did so much to confuse the police's judgment There is only one purpose for setting off so many smoke bombs, which is to make us regard Cui Lidong as the murderer in this case, so that the real murderer can achieve the goal of getting away with it. We are now imprisoning Cui Lidong here, This is tantamount to achieving half of the purpose of the real murderer behind the scenes. This person is likely to have been secretly watching our progress, or paying attention to Cui Lidong's situation. If we let Cui Lidong go, the real murderer behind the scenes will If we find out, it is tantamount to telling this person that his plan has failed and we have not been deceived, which is tantamount to scaring the snake away.”

"You're right! Conversely, if we continue to keep Cui Lidong in the bureau, the murderer who actually killed Song Chengliang will think that he has succeeded in his scheme. In this way, it will be easier to relax our vigilance, which will be more beneficial to our subsequent investigation. !” Inspired by Qin Ruonan, An Changpu also drew inferences and listed factors that might be beneficial to the investigation.

Qin Ruonan nodded: "Yes, that's what I'm thinking about, but it's all based on the assumption that 'Cui Lidong is not the real murderer' can be established."

"Okay, since you've all thought it through, I agree with your decision. You should also pay attention to Cui Lidong from time to time so that he doesn't cause any problems."

"You don't have to worry about Cui Lidong." An Changpu suddenly thought of another matter, "Boss, Cui Lidong's family will not come and make trouble because we imprisoned Cui Lidong in the bureau, right? Don't just because of us." What trouble does work give you?"

Cheng Feng sighed and said, "Speaking of it, it's not easy for Cui Lidong. He has been imprisoned here for so many days, and we have informed his family as a matter of routine, but it seems that his family members are not aware of his detention. I don’t care, let alone worry, so you just continue to investigate and take into account Cui Lidong’s own mood swings, so you don’t have to worry about me.”

Coming out of Cheng Feng's office, Qin Ruonan looked at the time and said, "Then you go to Cui Lidong's side and have a good talk with him, and I'll try to contact Xiong Ying again."

"I'm going to find Cui Lidong?" An Changpu was taken aback for a moment.

"Yeah, didn't you say it before, let me avoid suspicion, I think what you said is reasonable, if we go together, it will take too much time, so you go there, and I will be in charge of contacting Xiong Ying."

An Changpu smiled in embarrassment, felt a guilty conscience for no reason, and hurriedly tidied up and went to find Cui Lidong.

Qin Ruonan tried to call Xiong Ying a few more times, but the notification tone on the phone still said that she could not be connected temporarily, so she called Xiong Ying's school again, and the counselor helped to confirm that she did not go back to school.

Just when she was about to give up contacting Xiong Ying, Xiong Ying's phone was actually dialed, and it took a long time for someone to answer the call, and it was not Xiong Ying himself who answered the phone, but a man with an old voice.

After questioning, Qin Ruonan found out that the man who answered the phone was Xiong Ying's father. Xiong Ying ran to the train station alone with her luggage the night before, and wanted to buy a train ticket to go back to her hometown. She called home at the station, talking because I was so emotional that I had a heart attack and passed out. Fortunately, other well-meaning people waiting for the train called the station staff. Everyone called 120 for first aid, and Xiong Ying and her luggage were sent to the hospital.Xiong Ying's parents were also very worried because their daughter cut off the phone in the middle of the conversation. They hurriedly called and learned that their daughter had been taken to the hospital. The couple hurried over by overnight train and spent the whole day in the hospital Escort, Xiong Ying's phone didn't work before because the battery was dead, and the whole family was in a hurry and no one cared to charge the phone. It wasn't until the afternoon when I was relieved that I remembered the phone. The phone had just been charged. Qin Ruonan's phone call came in.

Qin Ruonan asked about the hospital where Xiong Ying was now, and waited for a few minutes for An Changpu to come back. She told him about Xiong Ying's situation and asked him to go to the hospital with her.

The two rushed to the hospital, quickly contacted Xiong Ying's parents, and searched for the location of the ward they provided, but because the visiting hours had passed, they were almost stopped by the nurse on duty outside the treatment area. After a long time, after promising to leave as soon as possible and not to bring too much negative emotional stimulation to the patient, Qin Ruonan and An Changpu finally got accommodating and followed Xiong Ying's parents to the ward.

Xiong Ying's parents are plain-looking and plainly dressed. They seem to be relatively dull people. They are very reserved when facing the visiting police. He couldn't tell why, and he didn't dare to ask the police why they were looking for his daughter.

Xiong Ying lives in a large ward with six people. Her parents said that their financial conditions are very average, and they have to pay for the expensive and ideal expenses of their children becoming famous. They want to live in a single room for their daughter. But he has more energy than energy.

The patients in the ward are already full, so the space is naturally not enough. When Qin Ruonan and the others entered the ward, they had to close the curtain in front of Xiong Ying's bed to create a relatively private space, but the four of them squeezed inside the curtain. In the limited area, it is really a bit crowded.

Fortunately, Xiong Ying on the hospital bed was in good spirits except for her pale face. When she saw Qin Ruonan and An Changpu looking for her, she immediately wanted to get up and say hello to them, but Qin Ruonan stopped her.

"Don't get up, just lie down and talk." She supported Xiong Ying's shoulders and made her lie down smoothly.

"Yeah, you should lie down, if something happens to you, your mother and I won't know how to live." Xiong Ying's father said distressedly.

Xiong Ying looked at her parents, then at Qin Ruonan and An Changpu, her eyes were red again, she took Qin Ruonan's hand who was standing by her bed, and said in a crying voice: "The more I thought about it yesterday, the more something went wrong. The more I felt that what you said might be true, the more I felt that I was cheated, that my parents’ hard-earned money was used for daydreaming, and now that Song Chengliang is dead, even if I want to ask for justice, I can’t get it back!”
