Xiao Zhang is a new criminal policeman who has just been transferred to the criminal investigation team of the Mid-level Public Security Bureau of City B. He doesn't know whether it is good luck or bad luck. There was a major case that shocked the whole country—the tragic death of a rich overseas Chinese businessman in a nursing home.
Yes, they are all surnamed Zhang, and because of their mentor-student relationship, they got the nickname San Zhang.
Because the parties concerned reported the case too late and the news of the murder case was not blocked in time, now this incident has become a huge social news.
The above not only set up a special investigation team, but also limited the time to solve the case as soon as possible.
Xiao Zhang's master, Lao Zhang, is an old criminal policeman with many years of experience in handling cases. He didn't want the situation where laymen guide experts at all. The same is true this time, Lao Zhang became the team leader, and the three detectives became the main body.
However, in the investigation of the previous case, Xiao Zhang was unable to participate in the other case because he was away from home. As soon as he came back, his master taught him an important task-to make an inquiry transcript for the Lu family.
In order to impress the master and the master, Xiao Zhang has read the relevant on-site investigation report several times on the way back, got off the high-speed rail, and went to the crime scene several times without stopping, trying to make him feel that he should know The content and materials related to the case are memorized in my heart. The transcript has not yet started, but a lot of notes have been taken. Xiao Zhang thinks that he is fearless and will not be affected by anything.
As a result, when Xiao Zhang swiped his card and entered the office, he found that the atmosphere today was completely different from the past, serious and tense, as if the drop of a needle could attract countless people to shoot their guns.
Xiao Zhang didn't know why, so he could only ask his familiar colleagues in a low voice: "What happened?"
Master came over for a surprise inspection? Lao Zhang is a bit too strict, and everyone looks like a dean of students.
"It's more terrifying than your master," a colleague leaned into Xiao Zhang's ear and said, he was a little envious of Xiao Zhang's participation in this case, but now he only has deep sympathy. The level of attention has been upgraded again, or it has been the case for a long time, but I have been waiting for someone to come over to make a plane, and then start cooperation when they are ready."
"Who are you waiting for?" Xiao Zhang didn't hear the wind at all before.
"There are Interpol, the FBI in the US, and people directly sent by the police department above, and even a special team for the family, and a group of nine... They are having a meeting in the big conference room. Are you Didn’t you see the scene just now, making a TV series? By the way, which department is the Ninth Group? I know the special group, but I’ve never heard of the Ninth Group.”
"Such an exaggeration?!" Xiao Zhang has never heard of the Nine Groups, but it should be a very powerful mysterious department to be able to rank with those in front of him. Although the old rich businessman who died was really bloody, but did he startle so many big shots
How the situation is, we still have to wait for Xiao Zhang's master to come out of the meeting.
This meeting is just a preliminary understanding of each other, so it was decided quickly and ended around 9:30, just in time for the agreed meeting time with the Lu family.
Xiao Zhang was specially called by the master with a text message and handed him a brand new record of questions. The master said: "I have to ask the previous ones, and I have to ask these new ones too. Do you understand? Don't ask why, I will ask you when you come back." I'm talking to you slowly, but be sure to ask new questions, whether they have anything to do with the case or not."
"Yes!" Xiao Zhang took the new question form, and there were indeed many questions on it that he didn't understand the meaning of.
"You are still responsible for driving, go quickly, time waits for no one. But remember to change to a bigger car."
"business car?"
"not enough."
"Not enough?!" They just came to ask routinely, right? The Lu family is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, why bring so many people there? Aren't you afraid of angering the Lu family
Da Zhang ignored his apprentice and just sent him to make preparations quickly, because Da Zhang was also muttering in his heart, how could he know why so many people were going this time, and what was wrong with him? ! There is nothing to say about the special group that is in charge of the aristocratic family, but why should the person in charge of the nine groups also join in? He didn't even know what Group Nine was before; the most frightening thing was that even the Interpol wanted to go, and the FBI said they couldn't leave them behind.
All in all, the Lu family must be angry when they see so many people. God knows they are really just routine inquiries, not leading foreign guests to visit giant pandas.
But things have come to this point, even Lao Zhang seems a bit unqualified in front of these people, so what can Da Zhang say? Anyway, the sky is falling and there is a tall one holding it up... Fuck, what a deal.
Fortunately, the contact person on the special team said that they had already communicated with the Lu family, and the Lu family had no objection to these people who appeared suddenly.
Such a reasonable family is rare. Da Zhang put out a puff of cigarette in his mouth and said with emotion.
In just a short while, Xiao Zhang had already parked the luxurious passenger car in the compound and turned on the air conditioner in the car. He entertained all the bosses that he would never even meet and boarded the car. Different uniforms, different races, and the systems they serve are completely different, just like they are sitting in different positions now, with polite faces on each other, and began Greetings. Not to mention, it really looks more and more like a foreign tourist group.
The tourist attraction they are going to visit today is the Banshan villa area located in the northeast of the Banshan Police Station, about 15 minutes' drive away. This is a very well-known old rich area in City B, where most of the aristocratic families live together, and any nanny may be higher than Xiao Zhang's basic salary.
The Lu family's villa is located on the inner side of the mountain, a relatively independent and open land. The car needs to climb a gentle ramp and pass three inspections to get there.
— Stricter than boarding.
Passing vehicles without a registered license plate need to be checked again and again by the security guards to confirm the number of people, the purpose of the visit, and the appointment time with the head of the household. Even the treatment of law enforcement teams serving the people is the same.
"The appointment information says there are only a few people?" The security guard looked suspiciously at the bus with the police logo on the back.
"Hey, there are some minor changes at the moment, and I have already called the Lu family to confirm." Xiao Zhang once again took out his work certificate, explained the current situation, and was allowed to enter the Lu family officially. A-11 area.
Passing by the Yao's house with a strong western architectural atmosphere, we arrived at the outskirts of Lu's house.
A servant of the Lu family had already received the news from the security below, and opened the wide and hollow double iron gates early, and let the passenger car enter the vestibule of the Lu family. Then, there were servants who got on the bus halfway, and were responsible for guiding Xiao Zhang, leading the bus slowly across two rows of two-way streets full of evergreen trees. On the grass, some gardeners could faintly see that they had already started their day's work. After a few drives, a beautiful two-story rectangular building appeared in everyone's sight.
While lamenting the size of Lu's house, Xiao Zhang said, "That's the main building, right?"
The servant replied sternly: "No, that's the dormitory for the service staff."
Xiao Zhang: "..." Even the place where the servants live is bigger than the pigeon house I rented QAQ
After passing the service staff's dormitory, I finally saw the huge complex of buildings that perfectly combined the modern and classical atmosphere, and a solemn atmosphere came over my face. It is said to be a villa, but it is actually more like a manor. The main building on the fifth floor is in the same clean white tone as the fountain in the small square in front, and there are already a group of people in uniforms waiting there on the steps at the door.
Of course, this couldn't be the owner of the Lu family, but the housekeeper of the Lu family, with some service staff. If you look carefully, you will find that the number of people is exactly twice that of Xiao Zhang and his group. Half are security guards and half are service personnel.
The car stopped steadily at the main entrance, and the servants in the car were responsible for the arrangement. The others got out of the car one by one. After receiving one-on-one service, they finally entered the lobby of the main building of the Lu family. The atmosphere of life in the house is relatively strong. The first thing that attracts people's attention is the huge family photo on the wall in the middle of the stairs. People in the painting are all dressed in the same color clothes. There are four elderly people, an adult couple, and three young people. Child like an angel.
This photo was taken when Lu Jianyan was still in elementary school. At that time, the elders of both families were still alive, as if they seemed to feel something. Before one of them passed away, everyone had a tacit understanding on their lawn that summer. took this photo.
In the painting, Sister Lu looks unhappy because her grandfather does not allow her to wear a Lolita dress for photos, requiring her to wear a "proper" white dress. Sister Lu rebelliously wears a pair of trousers; Because it just rained on the morning when the photo was taken, his natural curly hair was always curled a little after the rain, which made him feel extremely ugly; only brother Lu was hugged by Grandma Lu, smiling Heartless, with a chocolate bar in his hand that his mother had expressly forbidden him to eat.
Although the expressions of most people in the photos are very serious, they still feel inexplicably that this is a very loving family, and they are very happy in their hearts.
In the large living room on the left, the five members of the Lu family, plus Wuzhao, Wuyi, and Lou, were already waiting on the sofa.
Fortunately, Lu's house is big enough, so many people don't feel crowded at all, and the seats are just right, not one more, not one less. After a brief introduction, it was time for an inquiry session.
All kinds of equipment have been prepared, recording pen, video camera, red eye and fingerprint recorder, and recorder holding a laptop.
Big Zhang pushed Xiao Zhang, signaling him to step forward and start.
Xiao Zhang looked at the bosses in the row in front of him, and it took him almost a minute to open the notebook nervously. He took a deep breath, and met the members of the Lu family who had tried their best to express kindness, but still caused a lot of psychological pressure, Xiao Zhang almost couldn't speak.
Fortunately, the previous preparations were sufficient, and Xiao Zhang only needs to make inquiries according to the contents of the notebook.
The first thing to do is to start recording and inquiring item by item according to the prescribed columns on the inquiry record, such as the time and place of the inquiry, the name of the inquirer and recorder and their work unit, the name, gender, Age, home address, work unit, and other people present at the time of questioning, this time is the longest list of present present that Xiao Zhang has ever written.
According to different interviewees, different forms were filled out in duplicate, and the interviewee was asked to confirm the content of the form, and then signed the first name.
After that, this is the official start of the question and answer recording time.
The first person to be asked was naturally Lu Jianyan.
"Hello, I am the criminal policeman who assisted in handling the case this time. Mr. Lu can call me Officer Xiao Zhang. There are three officers Zhang here."
Lu Jianyan nodded: "Nice to meet you."
"Uh, it's like this. At about ten o'clock in the morning on March 5th, you met Mr. Yao Wuzai and the deceased, that is, Mr. Liu En, in the Lvhai Sanatorium on the outskirts of the city, and had a brief exchange, right? ?”
"Yes."
"What is your relationship with the deceased?"
"My mother's ex-husband, an orphan my grandparents once sponsored."
"Uh..." Xiao Zhang choked for a moment. Although these were all the contents the police had already grasped, it was obvious that this was not the answer he wanted to hear. But it seems that Lu Jianyan doesn't want to mention it, but Xiao Zhang can only bite the bullet and say, "According to the evidence obtained from the information channel that we can't disclose, are you related to the deceased?"
"He was the sperm provider when I was created." Lu Jianyan did not intend to hide the unhappy relationship between him and Liu En, nor did he intend to deny this blood relationship. In fact, the Lu family had greeted the person in charge of this case as early as the beginning, and these private contents are not allowed to be disclosed to the outside world, even if the investigation team knows that it is limited to the high-level and relevant investigators . If Xiao Zhang hadn't participated in the interrogation transcript, people at his level would not want to know this secret.
"Why did you go to see the dead?"
"He threatened my father with the relationship between me and him, and wanted to ask me to meet, so I agreed to him."
Xiao Liu sighed silently in his heart, the relationship between rich people is really complicated, and father and son should also calculate and threaten like this.
"Do you remember how long you talked about?"
"I don't remember." It's impossible to remember such a thing, right? Who would have nothing to do to count things like this.
"According to the access monitoring of the nursing home, you talked for about forty-five minutes."
"That should be, I don't quite remember."
"What about the conversation? Do you remember?"
"A bunch of nonsense that he wants to recognize me, but I don't want to recognize him."
That's a pretty accurate answer.
"According to another relevant person who was present at the time, did you ever have an altercation?"
"In my opinion, it was Liu Kaiwen's unilateral provocation, but my friend Yao Wuzai and I responded to him in a decent and polite manner."
Xiao Liu nodded. There was some discrepancy with Liu Kaiwen's question on this point, but, heck, different people have different angles. Compared with the irritable young man, Lu Jianyan seemed more believable. Lu Jianyan really didn't seem like the type who could quarrel with people. He would just sit on the side coldly and make others angry, while he watched the performance from the sidelines.
"The deceased, Mr. Liu, waved away the others, leaving only you to talk to him. Can you ask why?"
"There's something personal to talk about."
"What about the conversation?"
"It's still he who wants to recognize me, but I don't want to recognize his nonsense."
"Can you be more specific?"
"He wanted me to marry his son Liu Kaiwen and leave the W Group to me, but I refused."
"What?!" Before continuing here, Yao Wuzai couldn't sit still. He even stood up all of a sudden, looking at Lu Jianyan angrily, or looking at the dead Liu through Lu Jianyan. kindness. It's not the emotions that he can control if he wants to control them. Well, he doesn't want to control them either. He said to Lu Jianyan, "Why don't I know about this?!"
"Because you were outside the door." Lu Jianyan knew that Yao Wuzai would react in this way, so he didn't want to question in front of so many people and the police, but Yao Wuzai refused.
"Ha, how dare he think so!"
It wasn't Yao Wuzai who said this, but Lu's mother, who acted even more angry than Yao Wuzai. Regardless of whether there were any policemen nearby, she directly showed an extremely disgusted expression on her face: "Marriage? How did he come up with it? This is an insult to my son! What is the W Group? He Do you really think anyone cares about his stuff?!"
Xiao Zhang was so frightened that he didn't know how to interject.
Among the group of uniformed people sitting nearby and listening, a young man wearing white gloves and about the same age as Lu Jianyan said: "According to our investigation, a large part of the initial operation investment of W Group is very likely to come from the deceased. You almost filed a lawsuit for embezzling the property of the Lu family in Wu County."
"So?" Mother Lu raised her eyebrows and asked the police officer back.
"So, if this is the case, and if there is enough evidence, you can sue to get back the legal property you failed to get back, as well as some of the assets and compensation that have been appreciated with this investment over the years." The young man smiled at Lu's mother Laughing, "If we find proof later, I'd be happy to send it to you."
Mother Lu was taken aback, she didn't expect the other party to make such a move, although she didn't know what the other party was planning, but she thanked her in advance.
Because of such an episode, Lu's mother couldn't continue to lose her temper, so Lu Jianyan also took the opportunity to calm Yao Wuzai.
The inquiry was able to continue.
After asking about the unpleasant conversation in the nursing home, where was Lu Jianyan when the deceased died next.
"I don't really remember, but usually around eight o'clock in the evening, I was playing "Jianghu Online" with three of my friends. There was a login prompt in the game, and you can also check the usage of the holographic cabin at home."
That's the problem, Lu Jianyan couldn't prove that it was him who was playing the game.
But the police didn't dare to casually identify Lu Jianyan as the murderer without any relevant evidence. The special team over there would not agree. The family has always enjoyed protection unlike any other. Yes, the significance of the existence of the special group is more to ensure the interests of the aristocratic family, and it is also to make sure that the old aristocratic family like the Lu family will not be offended. The Lu family had already greeted her before.
"I have no reason to kill him. He's going to die sooner or later anyway. Why should I bother?"
This was also one of the reasons why the police tried not to suspect Lu Jianyan. Everyone knew that Liu En was going to die, so why would anyone want to kill him
The million-dollar watch in Liu En's hand showed no sign of being tampered with, which also proved that this was not a criminal case like trying to make money. Given that nothing was captured on the surveillance camera, the police have reason to suspect that this was a planned murder, and the probability of a vendetta motivated by revenge is extremely high.
After that, Xiao Zhang began to ask questions that seemed to have nothing to do with the case, similar to what Lu Jianyan was doing on a certain day in a certain year.
Lu Jianyan doesn't remember most of them, but he has a very detailed itinerary, and the assistant lady has prepared it for him in advance, just check it and everything will be there. He gave the backup to Officer Zhang along with the evidence.
After that, Lu Jianyan routinely questioned Lu's mother and Lu's father. Lu's mother was because of her feuding ex-husband and ex-wife, and Lu's father was because of the period of being threatened by Liu En.
No cure is...
"A person who was also in the nursing home at the time said that you had threatened Mr. Liu Kaiwen?"
"Besides what others said, do you have any more tangible evidence?" Yao Wuzai asked with a smile, "Out of the principle of being a law-abiding citizen, I agreed to participate in the interrogation. But if you ask this kind of suspected inducement , Unprofessional questions at all, I will ask my lawyer to come forward on my behalf. Don't blame me for not cooperating."
"No, no, no, we definitely don't mean that." Xiao Zhang immediately stated his position. To be honest, he was also quite surprised why he asked this question, but this was already decided before, and some issues were not up to him to decide.
Lu Jianyan held Yao Wuzai's hand to comfort him, and then said, "As I said, it was Liu Kaiwen's unilateral provocation, and we responded appropriately to him."
"You might as well ask Liu Kaiwen what is the purpose of framing me like this." Yao Wuza sneered, "Maybe he is the one who shouted "Stop the thief."
It is meaningless for others to kill Liu En who is about to die, but Liu Kaiwen is different. Before Liu En amends his will, he is Liu En's legal heir, so he doesn't have to give everything Liu En has to Lu Jianyan. Lu Jianyan didn't like those things, but Liu Kaiwen didn't necessarily have to.
Then there were some strange time inquiries that seemed to have nothing to do with the case.
"What exactly is going on?"
But the police would not answer. After the questioning was over, everyone was ready to leave. One of the people from the special team stayed behind, obviously wanting to talk to the Lu family in private. Lao Zhang is very dissatisfied with these privileges of the Lu family. Without the right to know, he can still know everything they want to know. But Lao Zhang has no way to stop it, because the special team will not directly say that they want to stay and talk to the Lu family.
Surprisingly, Group Nine and Interpol also left one person behind, not knowing what to do.
The one left by the Interpol was the white-gloved young man who had just interrupted, with black hair and black eyes, a typical oriental appearance. Lu Jianyan also had some vague guesses about the other party's identity in his heart, because the other party looked familiar.
After the big troops left, the other party really took the initiative and friendly approached to solve the mystery: "Old classmate, have you forgotten me?"
The other party was the classmate whom the tasker had traveled through.
It was also the first tasker Lu Jianyan encountered. After the tasker left, the original owner was sent out of the country for treatment because he became a vegetable. Now it seems that he not only woke up fortunately, but also remembered many things, and still regarded Lu Jianyan as his classmate.
Mother Lu thought, no wonder this young man was a little inclined to help them just now, it turned out to be Yan Yan's classmate.
"Zuo Qingshi."
Lu Jianyan finally called out the name hidden deep in time. Linzi Zuo's main family son, Lu Jianyan's middle school classmate, the one who opened the door to Lu Jianyan's new world.
"I've changed my name to Ailun now. If you want, you can call me by that name." Ailun stepped forward and hugged Lu Jianyan, unwilling to let go for a while, even with the fearful look in his eyes, " Never had time to say thank you for all the - you know - things you did back then."
