Chapter 67: Chapter 67: Keep Making It Up! (Keep Going!)

After the traffic police quickly cleared the road, Li Jian finally brought Lei Ming to the criminal investigation team’s interrogation room.

Li Jian and Wan Junjie were the main examiners, with Lei Ming sitting opposite them.

Wan Junjie picked up a pen and asked, “Name? Age? Where do you live? What work do you do?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Captain Li Jian waved his hand and said, “Skip the routine stuff, go straight to the point.”

After being stuck in traffic for nearly an hour, Captain Li Jian was somewhat irritable.

Then Li Jian said, “Do you know why you’re being brought to the police team today?”

Lei Ming shook his head, “No idea.”

Li Jian’s face was solemn, and he suppressed his inner temper, speaking in a deep voice, “Let me ask you again.”

“If you speak up now, I might consider it a confession.”

Lei Ming spread his hands, looking innocent, “Confession? I haven’t broken the law, what would I confess?”

Seeing him speaking such blatant lies, Li Jian raised a hand and slapped the table, saying, “Are you still pretending to be dizzy here?”

“What’s the name of the girl in this photo?”

While speaking, Li Jian picked up the group photo.

Lei Ming looked up at it again, hesitated for a moment, “Her nickname is Xiaofang.”

“What’s her real name?”

“Her real name is…”

Just as Lei Ming was hesitating, Li Jian said sternly, “Let me tell you, her real name is Zhang Lu Yao.”

Li Jian emphasized the name “Zhang Lu Yao” heavily.

Upon hearing this, Lei Ming instantly raised his head, looking at Li Jian and Wan Junjie.

After a long time, Li Jian asked, “What?”

“Remember now?”

“Forgetting your girlfriend’s name, you are truly heartless.”

Suddenly, Lei Ming laughed and said, “Two officers, thank you for the reminder, I remember now.”

“But the time we spent together was very short, I always called her Xiaofang.”

Wan Junjie glanced up at him, thinking to himself, truly speaking nonsense in a serious manner.

Captain Li Jian asked, “Tell us about the relationship between you and Zhang Lu Yao?”

After a brief pause, Lei Ming said, “We met online and broke up after a month.”

“What happened afterward?”

“I don’t know what happened afterward! We haven’t contacted each other since.”

Captain Li Jian said, “If I tell you she was murdered 8 years ago, what would you think?”

In an instant, Lei Ming’s eyes widened, asking in surprise, “Really?”

Li Jian took out a cigarette and lit it, took a puff, and looked disdainful.

“Fabricate!”

“Continue fabricating!”

…

At this moment, outside Qingshui Town Middle School, Chen He parked the police car by the roadside.

He smoked a cigarette, waiting for the criminal investigation information department’s inquiries.

Suddenly, Chen He’s phone rang, the caller ID showing the criminal investigation team’s landline number.

“Hello!”

“Mr. Chen, this is Wang from the information department, earlier you asked to inquire about Wang Chuang, there are no records of accommodation or travel in the system.”

Upon hearing this, Chen He was surprised and asked, “Is it recent that there are no accommodation or travel records, or has there never been any?”

The voice on the other end answered, “There have never been any records!”

After a long pause, Chen He asked, “When did this police connection system start to be used?”

“It started nationwide 7 years ago.”

“Alright, I see.”

After hanging up, Chen He took a few more drags off his cigarette, flicking the butt out of the window.

The officer sitting in the back leaned over and asked, “Mr. Chen, not ideal results?”

Chen He said, “The information department conveyed that they have never found any accommodation or travel records for Wang Chuang.”

The officer behind said, “Mr. Chen, this is very unusual.”

“We regular adults can’t go out without using an ID card.”

Chen He appeared frustrated.

After a long pause, Chen He said, “Unless he disappeared.”

“Or, he changed his identity.”

Instantly, the police car fell silent.

Meanwhile.

Zhang Yean received a handgun from the armory, while Jiang An was unable to be equipped with a firearm as he had not obtained a gun permit.

Then, the two drove away from the police station.

Soon after leaving, Zhang Yean turned her head and asked, “I’ve always had a question on my mind.”

“You can ask, senior sister.”

“When we were at Li Lan’s house, why did you suddenly conclude she wasn’t the killer?”

Jiang An replied, “I noticed a detail in her movements.”

“What movement detail?”

Zhang Yean asked curiously, “Can a single detail eliminate suspicion of murder?”

Jiang An explained, “When Li Lan was making and pouring tea for us, she used her right hand the whole time, she’s right-handed.”

“But through my analysis of Zhang Qian’s body wound direction, I think the female suspect used her left hand to cut, she should be left-handed.”

Zhang Yean turned her head, giving a thumbs-up, “I admire you!”

minutes later, the vehicle stopped at the entrance of Jiangcheng Development Zone Yanfei Shoe Factory.

The two got out, Zhang Yean walked forward to show her credentials, the security guard did not block them at all, and directly opened the gate for them.

They continued walking straight for 200 meters, arriving at the entrance of an 8-story office building.

Zhang Yean still held her credentials, saying, “Hello, we are police officers from the criminal investigation team, we’re looking to speak with your boss Qin Yan.”

The young security guard asked, “Do you have an appointment?”

Instantly, Zhang Yean’s face fell.

Police enforcing the law and handling cases should require appointments?

Just as the words were on the edge of her tongue, Jiang An gently said, “We contacted her yesterday, she asked us to go up and find her directly.”

The security guard glanced at Zhang Yean’s police badge, and pressed the button in his hand.

With a “click”, the glass door instantly opened.

“Mr. Qin’s office is in room 606.”

Jiang An said, “Thank you!”

Then, Jiang An and Zhang Yean entered.

Standing at the elevator doors, Zhang Yean looked at the police badge in her hand, and said, “In front of young security guards, this doesn’t work?”

Jiang An laughed and said, “Just like a computer, sometimes it crashes.”

minutes later, the two walked out of the elevator.

Zhang Yean’s heartbeat started to accelerate, her right hand instinctively reaching for the bulge at her waist, ready to draw her gun at any time.

In the past, when going out to arrest suspects, Mr. Li usually didn’t arrange for her to participate.

Even when she occasionally participated, she was only responsible for driving.

This was her first time rushing to the front lines of an arrest in her life.

Jiang An looked around, in the corridor besides office workers hurriedly carrying documents, there were also many surveillance cameras.

He turned his head to look at Zhang Yean and said softly, “Senior sister, relax! Don’t be too nervous.”

Zhang Yean took several deep breaths, her heartbeat slowed down.

Soon, the two found room 606.

The words “Chairman’s Office” were prominently displayed.

At this moment, the door was partly open.

Jiang An stood at the door, hearing a discussion inside about supply and price.

He raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

“Come in!”

Then, Jiang An pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside the office, there was a man and a woman.

Jiang An saw the middle-aged woman signing documents.

But she was holding the pen with her left hand.
