After hearing her words, Lin Dapeng and Officer Lu fell into deep thought.
Lin Jiaqiao said: "Can I ask what happened to Liu Yang?"
Lin Dapeng hesitated for a moment and told her: "According to Xu Yalan, she went out this morning and returned home halfway and found a pool of blood on the ground. The kidnappers left her a letter saying that Liu Yang was in their hands and asked her to prepare the ransom."
"The contents of the letter were made up of words cut out from newspapers. There were no fingerprints."
Lin Jiaqiao pressed the issue: "The kidnappers didn't ask for a ransom, and didn't threaten her not to call the police? Did you see that she was live streaming this morning?"
Officer Lu shook his head: "Of course I saw it. We saw the live broadcast and contacted her."
"I've been a police officer for so many years, and this is the first time I've met a victim's family like this. What on earth are they thinking?"
Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan also heard of such a strange thing for the first time and didn't know what to say.
Qin Guan was puzzled: "But what does this have to do with us?"
Officer Lu stole a glance at his master's face and saw that Lin Dapeng did not object. He said, "It has nothing to do with you. It's mainly about Zhizhi."
"After our investigation, according to an insider, Liu and Xu threatened to 'kill them' on their wedding day."
Lin Jiaqiao looked confused: "Did I say that? I can't remember clearly. I said a lot of dirty words that day."
Qin Guan couldn't remember clearly, "It seems like, yes."
Lin Jiaqiao shrugged: "The person who provided the clue made a mistake."
"If I said 'kill them', I definitely didn't mean to kill Liu Yang and Xu Yalan, but to kill their bullying gang."
All the questions that needed to be asked had been asked, and Lin Dapeng was afraid that if he continued to listen, he would get angry and hurt himself, so he wanted to chase the two away.
Qin Guan asked, "Why are you paying special attention to Jiang Xing?"
Lin Jiaqiao also discovered it: "Could he be the murderer?"
Lin Dapeng said in a businesslike manner: "We have a confidentiality policy. Don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask."
Lin Jiaqiao took advantage of the home field and half acted like a spoiled child and half lied, "You are being too polite."
"Don't you see who we are? Guan Guanzai and I are not only insiders of this case, but we are also classmates of the victim."
She pointed at four fingers and said, "Four years as classmates is one sixth of our life. Maybe we know some clues subconsciously but didn't pay attention. If you ask us more, it may help the case."
Lin Dapeng looked at her suspiciously, "Why are you so enthusiastic? Do you want to write about it in your newspaper?"
Lin Jiaqiao was dissatisfied, "I feel sorry for you and Dalu. You haven't slept for nights and your heads are bald."
Lin Jiaqiao thought about it and realized that the main reason for Lin Dapeng’s car accident was his fatigue driving.
He worked too hard, so even if her intervention only allowed Lin Dapeng to sleep one minute longer, it would be worth it.
Officer Lu also agreed with Lin Jiaqiao. He advised, "Master, Zhizhi is right. It was obvious that those people didn't tell the truth this morning. We should at least confirm their testimony with Zhizhi and Guanzai."
Lin Jiaqiao held up four fingers again: "I'll show you four, and we'll tell each other everything."
Qin Guan imitated her movements, "Me too."
Although Lin Dapeng did not agree, he stopped chasing people away.
Officer Lu asked: "Let's talk about Liu Yang's family situation first."
Lin Jiaqiao said: "Liu Yang's family is in the food business."
"His popsicles are considered a time-honored brand in our city. They used to sell well, but in recent years, they have been squeezed out by Mengniu, Yili, Zhongjie Bingdian, and Dongbei Daban, and their sales have dropped sharply. A few months ago, they even approached our newspaper to promote them."
Qin Guan added: "Liu Yang opened a game company, which has been losing money in recent years, and his father has subsidized him a lot. It is said that his father recently issued an ultimatum, asking Liu Yang to close the company and go home to help."
"As for their family's financial situation, it's better than most, but not as bad as most. - May I ask how much the kidnappers want in ransom?"
Lin Dapeng said: "The kidnapper didn't mention it in the letter, he just told his wife not to call the police."
Lin Jiaqiao raised his hand, "I have a question too, why is Xu Yalan live streaming?"
Officer Lu sighed, "It was the suggestion of that beautiful anchor."
Lin Jiaqiao frowned: "He Youwei?"
Officer Lu nodded. "According to her, when encountering a kidnapping case, if the victim's family members say the victim's name in public, it can increase psychological pressure on the kidnappers, making them realize that the victim is a human being just like them, thus increasing the victim's survival rate."
"He Youwei also knows these?" Lin Jiaqiao was curious: "Is it useful?"
Officer Lu shook his head. "I don't know. I've only heard of this theory in American TV series."
Lin Jiaqiao's occupational disease came back, and he pretended to hold up the microphone: "Dad, what do you think?"
Lin Dapeng rolled his eyes at her and said, "I'll ask for you when we catch him. Stop kidding and tell me about the relationship between Xu Yalan and Liu Yang."
Lin Jiaqiao and Qin Guan looked at each other and told the whole story of the "cuckold incident".
After hearing this, Lin Dapeng and Officer Lu both frowned.
Lin Dapeng asked: "Didn't Xu Yalan and Liu Yang start dating in college?"
Lin Jiaqiao was puzzled, "But she clearly told Zhiwan that she was forced to marry Liu Yang."
Officer Lu said: "We interrogated He Youwei, Wu Bin, Sun Yu, Zhao Xiaomei and Li Shuangqian this morning, and each of them said that Liu Yang and Xu Yalan had been boyfriend and girlfriend since college."
Lin Jiaqiao was surprised: "No way, Xu Yalan cried so miserably, it turned out that she lied to Ying Zhiwan"
Qin Guan concluded, "Liu Yang is too miserable. Not only was he cheated on by his best friend on his wedding day, but his girlfriend never loved him."
The two were immersed in the shocking melodrama, and Lin Dapeng asked: "Have you been in contact with Xiang Xiaoyuan recently?"
When Lin Jiaqiao mentioned his friend, he immediately became nervous. "What does she have to do with Xiang Xiaoyuan? Is she your suspect?"
Officer Lu said: "According to the victim's wife, the victim received a call from Xiang Xiaoyuan that morning."
"However, we have verified that the day before their wedding, Xiang Xiaoyuan flew to another city for work and was not in this city."
"However, considering Jiang Xing's crazy behavior at the wedding—"
Lin Jiaqiao interrupted him: "You mean you suspect Xiang Xiaoyuan and Jiang Xing worked together to lure Liu Yang out and then kidnap him."
Lin Dapeng said coldly: "We don't mean that. We don't mean anything until we find evidence."
They chatted for a while afterwards, but it didn't help much with the case, so Lin Dapeng asked them to go back.
At the door of the Criminal Investigation Office, Qin Guan whispered, "Are you okay?"
Lin Jiaqiao replied, "It's better than I thought."
"I originally thought that Xiang Xiaoyuan changed her phone number without telling me, but I didn't expect that she was on a business trip to a place with a bad signal. That's good."
Qin Guan was puzzled, "But you don't contact her normally."
Lin Jiaqiao muttered, "She was the one who didn't contact me first. ... And her business is so big now. If I take the initiative to contact her, it will seem like I'm trying to curry favor with her. How bad is that."
Qin Guan said: "If I remember correctly, Xiang Xiaoyuan's current company is not very large."
Lin Jiaqiao said: "In the future, it will be very big."
Two years later, Xiang Xiaoyuan managed his own brand very well and it became a well-known clothing brand.
Qin Guan sighed, "Actually, what I want to ask is, what do you think about Xiang Xiaoyuan being a suspect?"
"Impossible." Lin Jiaqiao said firmly: "Xiao Xiangzi would not do such a thing."
At this time, someone passed by. Lin Jiaqiao moved to the side and saw the face of the person clearly.
She was a little surprised: "You are, Jiang Xing?"
The man in front of me had an ordinary face, the type that people would not remember. At this moment, he had a black eye and a cut on his mouth, which matched the image in the photo.
Lin Jiaqiao thought she had forgotten what he looked like, but unexpectedly she recognized him at the first sight.
Perhaps it was because he harassed Xiang Xiaoyuan too frequently that she was impressed.
Jiang Xing also recognized her.
He asked: "Have you contacted Yuanyuan recently?"
Lin Jiaqiao got goosebumps all over her body when she heard the name "Yuanyuan". She shook her head, "No, I can't get through to her on her phone."
Jiang Xing immediately became anxious and asked uneasily: "Where did she go? She won't be in danger, will she—"
He seems to be worse than before.
Lin Jiaqiao comforted him: "Don't worry, Xiao Xiangzi is fine."
"Haven't you seen the news? She's now a well-known female entrepreneur, very rich, and has bodyguards around her. Besides, in the places she goes, the waiters, fans, and people who want to talk business with her are all crowded around her, so bad guys don't have a chance to get close to her."
Jiang Xing was stunned, the anxiety on his face faded away, and a little embarrassment appeared.
He said, "I, the police want to talk to me about something. I'll go in first."
Lin Jiaqiao frowned: "Why is this person so weird?"
Qin Guan said: "His anxiety is acted."
He had seen real anxiety, and it wasn't like this.
Lin Jiaqiao snorted: "How strange, I'm not surprised."
She took Qin Guan's hand and said, "Come on, let's go eavesdrop. I'm worried that this kid will talk nonsense and harm Xiao Xiangzi."
Qin Guan advised her, "Old Lin will be angry if he sees this."
Lin Jiaqiao said: "Actually, I forgot to mention something important just now."
"Look at Xu Yalan's live broadcast room. These netizens are scolding the police. This behavior has a huge negative impact on the image of the city bureau. I have to notify them to delete the post."
As they were talking, the two of them had returned to the door of the small reception room.
They sat on chairs near the door, with expressions that said 'it's our turn next', and no one suspected they were eavesdropping.
The small reception room had been in disrepair for a long time and the soundproofing was poor, so Jiang Xing's voice could be heard clearly.
"… It's me. They hurt Yuanyuan so badly, and they still want a perfect wedding? Dream on!"
“… I was the photographer for the wedding, so it was easy to change.”
He confessed to the video.
Lin Dapeng asked: "What is your relationship with Xiang Xiaoyuan?"
"Yuanyuan is my girlfriend!" Jiang Xing answered firmly.
