Hearing this, Fu Zhuang, who was sitting at the back, stretched his head forward and was shocked, "What a coincidence! No way, I thought he was a bad guy, but he actually killed someone … I even fought with him! My scalp is going numb … "
Wen Yifan also felt that this news was unbelievable.
But after thinking about it, she felt that this was indeed something that Che Xingde would do.
"The specific situation is still unclear." Qian Weihua said, "The culprit hasn't been caught yet. He might have heard the news in advance and ran away, but the people around him were taken away for interrogation. The burial location was revealed by Che Xingde's sister. "
Wen Yifan thought for a while and asked, "Who reported it? What recording?"
After listening to Qian Weihua's explanation, Wen Yifan slowly sorted out her thoughts.
The woman who went to the police station to report was Zheng Lin, Che Yanqin's daughter-in-law and Wen Ming's wife. One night a few weeks ago, she was molested by a drunk Che Xingde. Their family was in a mess because of this.
Everyone in the neighborhood knew about this.
Zheng Lin reluctantly agreed not to bring this matter to the police station under Che Yanqin's tearful pleading. However, the couple moved out of their house that night as if they wanted to cut off contact with them. They never returned home after that.
Because of this, Che Yanqin contacted Wen Ming many times in an attempt to ease the relationship between the mother and son.
After one of the calls, Wen Ming didn't hang up. After that, Che Yanqin quarreled with Che Xingde again. She was so angry that she mentioned a lot of things that happened in the past.
She said that Che Xingde couldn't stop himself from raping the girl from the Guo family next door and killing her. In the end, she had to clean up his mess. Now, he was biting the hand that fed him and even molested her daughter-in-law.
Zheng Lin was next to her at that time and recorded the conversation. Later, she heard from Wen Ming that he knew the girl from the Guo family. If he remembered correctly, she had been missing for several years.
This made the conversation more realistic.
Although she left the Wen family, Zheng Lin couldn't swallow the anger of being harassed and molested by Che Xingde. After careful consideration, she decided to report the case to the police station.
Wen Yifan remained silent and continued typing on the keyboard.
Wen Yifan should know the girl from the Guo family. She lived near Wen Liangxian's house. Her name was Guo Ling. She was tall and beautiful. She had a reclusive personality, but she had a good temper.
There was one time when Wen Yifan got on the bus without her card. Guo Ling paid for her without saying a word after she saw it.
Before that, the two of them had not spoken a single word.
After that, they didn't have any more interactions.
This trip was urgent, so Wen Yifan didn't go home. She only brought some simple luggage that had been left in the unit for a long time. On the way, she took the time to send a message to Sang Yan, explaining that she was going to Beiyu for a business trip.
Qian Weihua drove the car to the back of the mountain where the body was found.
The scene had been cordoned off, and there were two policemen on duty at the entrance.
Qian Weihua got out of the car and communicated with the police for a while, but he showed no comment. The three of them could only roughly take pictures of the surrounding situation, then drove to the nearby police station.
On the way, Fu Zhuang still felt that the whole thing was ridiculous and hateful. "So, Che Xingde's sister helped him deal with the body? If it wasn't for this daughter-in-law, how long would she have to stay in the wilderness … "
Qian Weihua sighed. "There are all kinds of people in this world."
Wen Yifan wasn't in a good mood either.
Beiyu was a small town, and the facilities and equipment were relatively backward. Other than the tunnel collapse, there were no major incidents. For this case, most of the police force was deployed from the Southern Wasteland.
After a whole day, the group of people didn't get any new information.
But coincidentally, Wen Yifan met the policewoman who took her in at the police station.
After a few years, the policewoman's appearance hadn't changed much, but there were more white hairs on her temples. Seeing Wen Yifan, the policewoman quickly recognized her, but she didn't seem to remember her name.
Wen Yifan smiled and took the initiative to greet her, "Aunt Chen, I'm Yifan."
Aunt Chen's eyes were kind, and she also smiled, "How many years has it been? You're a reporter now?"
"Yes, I'm here on a business trip. I'm a news reporter at Nanwu Radio Station. "Wen Yifan said," How are you doing? "
"Pretty good, pretty good." Aunt Chen nagged, "Chen Xi is doing well. She just confirmed her relationship with her boyfriend, and they're getting married soon. You two had a good relationship, right? After you left, she missed you for a while, and talked about you to me all day long. "
"I saw it, she posted it on her WeChat Moments." Wen Yifan smiled, "I'll definitely attend her wedding."
"Okay, then you must come." Aunt Chen raised her hand and touched her head, "Miss, you're doing well. I was afraid that you wouldn't be able to get out of it, who knew you're so good at being a reporter. "
Wen Yifan paused, and her eyes were inexplicably warm, "Don't worry, it didn't affect me much."
Aunt Chen smiled again, "That's good. Be good. "
… …
It was already late when they came out of the police station.
The three of them planned to find a small homestay nearby, and they would interview Guo Ling's family or neighbors the next day. After getting in the car, Fu Zhuang curiously asked, "Sister Yifan, do you know the policewoman just now?"
Wen Yifan nodded, "I lived here for two years."
Fu Zhuang suddenly understood, but he didn't continue to ask.
Back at the homestay, Wen Yifan lied on the bed, but she wasn't in a hurry to take a shower. She took out her phone from her bag and lit it up. She happened to see a message from Sang Yan, "Call me when you're done with work."
Wen Yifan immediately dialed his number.
The other end of the line picked up quickly.
Sang Yan's voice came through the receiver, it was a little more magnetic than usual, "Have you arrived at the hotel?"
Wen Yifan, "Yes. I booked a homestay. "
"Are you sleepy?"
"I'm fine." Wen Yifan stuffed the pillow into her arms and whispered, "Sang Yan."
"What's wrong?"
"Something happened to Che Xingde. He's now a suspect in a murder case, and he's still on the run." Wen Yifan said, "Although I might be overthinking, I'm afraid that he'll look for you. Be careful when you go out these few days. "
Hearing this, Sang Yan was silent for a few seconds, "Did you go to Beiyu for this?"
Wen Yifan nodded.
"Okay, I got it. Why are you always afraid that something will happen to a man like me? "Sang Yan found it funny," Wen Shuangjiang, shouldn't you be more careful? Listen to the voice recorder. "
Hearing him agree, Wen Yifan was relieved, "With you here, why should I listen to the voice recorder?"
Sang Yan, "Isn't it pretentious to say it directly?"
Wen Yifan couldn't help but laugh, but she didn't force him.
After all, she could recite the words in the voice recorder fluently.
"Sang Yan, I met a policewoman I used to know today. That's right, I called the police at that time. " Wen Yifan shared what happened today with him, "After moving out of my uncle's house, this policewoman took me in for a while."
Sang Yan listened quietly, "Okay."
"I didn't expect to meet her, but I'm quite happy." Wen Yifan smiled, "Her daughter, Chen Xi, happened to be my high school classmate. She took good care of me."
"Really?" Sang Yan said, "Then let's find a chance to visit them together."
"Okay. We can go together when Chen Xi gets married. " Wen Yifan said, "I saw her post on WeChat some time ago. She was proposed to by her boyfriend, so she should be getting married soon."
As soon as this was said, Sang Yan immediately became quiet.
Wen Yifan continued, "But I don't know when it will be. It depends on whether you have time."
Sang Yan dragged his tone, "Oh." He smiled, "Wen Shuangjiang."
Wen Yifan blinked, "What's wrong?"
His tone was a bit playful, "Are you hinting at me?"
"…" Wen Yifan didn't react, "What?"
"Isn't your birthday coming soon? Remember to make a good wish this time." Sang Yan chuckled a few times and said slowly, "Don't worry. I will help you realize it as usual. "
He hung up the phone.
Wen Yifan was still in bed for a while. She thought of what Sang Yan said to her on her birthday last year.
"What did you wish for?"
"If you don't tell me, how can I help you realize it?"
At that time, she had casually said that it was about her work.
Then Sang Yan said.
"Oh, I thought you wanted me to be your boyfriend."
Wen Yifan scratched her head, thinking about what she just said that made Sang Yan say the word "hinting". After a few seconds, she suddenly remembered that Chen Xi was about to get married.
Get married.
Wen Yifan was stunned when she heard this word.
Her face instantly burned.
The next day, the three of them went to Guo Ling's parents' house.
Because the victim's relatives were generally broken down, they were not in the mood to negotiate with the media. They thought they would be shut out like in the past, but after hearing the purpose of their visit, Guo Ling's father was silent for a moment and let them in.
Guo Ling's father was very cooperative throughout the interview.
He talked about what happened on the day of Guo Ling's accident according to his memory.
Guo Ling's mother died when she was young, so she was raised by her father alone. But Guo Ling's father was hot-tempered and didn't know how to get along with a girl of Guo Ling's age, so the relationship between father and daughter had always been stiff.
The last time Guo Ling's father saw Guo Ling was at home.
They had a big fight because of something. Guo Ling's eyes were red, and she angrily said, "I'll never come back to this house again." Then she slammed the door and left.
Speaking of this, Guo Ling's father lowered his head and covered his eyes with one hand. He was tall and strong, but at this moment, he seemed to have aged ten years. "… I didn't think that after she said that, she really didn't come back."
"…"
"All these years, I always thought she was angry at me and didn't want to come back to see me." Guo Ling's father's voice was choked with sobs. "If only that was the case, how could something like this happen to my daughter …"
The others couldn't say anything.
At this moment, no matter what words of comfort were said, they were all heavy.
"I heard from the police that the beast still hasn't been caught." Guo Ling's father suddenly grabbed Wen Yifan's arm and begged, "Sorry to trouble you, can you show that beast's photo on TV so that everyone can pay attention and let my daughter rest in peace …"
Wen Yifan comforted him. "We will report it truthfully."
…
After leaving Guo's house, the three of them were emotionally affected.
After a long time, Fu Zhuang finally said, "Sigh, it's so uncomfortable."
"…"
"It seems like Guo Ling's father wanted us to spread more of Che Xingde's photo, that's why he was so cooperative in accepting the interview. But how can we put this on the news, it will alert the enemy and cause panic. "Fu Zhuang said," But it's not good to tell him. "
Wen Yifan looked at the bus stop outside the window, lost in thought.
Qian Weihua said, "We just need to do what we should do."
"Mm." Wen Yifan came back to her senses and said slowly, "We can't help with this, we can only wait for the suspect to be arrested, and when the truth comes to light, we can tell the public the truth."
Hopefully, this was another way to comfort the soul of the victim in heaven.
The three of them stayed in Beiyu for a few more days.
They interviewed Che Xingde's friends and colleagues at that time, and handed over the information to the police a few times, before returning to Nanwu. According to the colleague who was in charge of the situation in Nanwu, it was clear that Che Xingde was still on the run.
Che Yanqin was also detained because of the crime of covering up.
The relatives around him became the main targets of observation.
After returning to Nanwu, Wen Yifan was also called to the Public Security Bureau to make a statement. After that, she had to continue to follow up on the follow-up report of the incident. She was troubled by all kinds of things during the National Day holiday, she didn't even have a day off.
Wen Yifan also received a call from Zhao Yuandong one day.
Maybe it was because of such a big incident, Zhao Yuandong wanted to talk to Wen Yifan about it. But she was busy at that time, so she didn't receive the call in time. She didn't call back after that.
These days, Wen Yifan was already very late when she got home.
She would immediately close her eyes and sleep after taking a shower. She had to go out when she woke up, so she didn't have much time to spend with Sang Yan. He didn't have any complaints about this, he didn't talk to her, he only urged her to go to sleep.
After the National Day holiday, Wen Yifan was granted a day off. Sang Yan's holiday also ended at the same time, the two of them were perfectly separated.
Wen Yifan could only sleep at home for the whole day, she slept so deeply that she didn't even notice that he came back from work. After waking up, she walked out of the room in a daze and saw Sang Yan sitting on the sofa, drinking water.
Sang Yan looked up when he noticed her figure, "You're awake?"
Wen Yifan nodded, walked over and lay on his body like a koala. Her thoughts were still occupied by the residual sleepiness, even her words were slow, "When did you come back?"
"Just came back, not long ago." Sang Yan hugged her back and continued to drink water, "How long have you slept?"
"I don't know, I sleep for a while and wake up for a while." Wen Yifan said, "Have you had dinner?"
"Yes." Sang Yan said, "Can you still sleep at night?"
Hearing this, Wen Yifan's eyelids moved, she raised her head and emphasized, "I don't have the strength."
"… …" Sang Yan instantly understood the meaning of her words, he was angry and happy at the same time, "What did I say? You don't have the strength?"
"Oh." Wen Yifan admitted her mistake honestly, "Then I misunderstood."
"What kind of person do you think I am?" Sang Yan pinched her face and stared at the ash under her eyelids, "Alright, if you're still sleepy, go take a shower and sleep. Isn't it only a day off? "
Wen Yifan was still lying on his body, "Yes."
The two of them stayed quietly like that for a while.
Wen Yifan suddenly said, "Sang Yan."
Sang Yan, "Yes?"
"Where do you think Che Xingde is? It's been so long," Wen Yifan's thoughts were a little adrift. She whispered, "He has no money, and no one is helping him now. Why can't we catch him?"
"We will catch him." For some reason, Sang Yan always had a bad feeling, he added, "Don't go home alone during this time."
"Yes."
"Wait for me to pick you up."
The case hadn't been able to catch the suspect, plus the police had been blocking the news, so they couldn't continue. The team could only put this report aside and work on other topics first.
Although she longed for scumbags like Che Xingde to be brought to justice as soon as possible, Wen Yifan didn't put all her energy on it.
Saturday afternoon.
Because of the National Day holiday, Sang Yan had to go to work that day. When it was close to six o 'clock, Wen Yifan received his WeChat message. As usual, he asked her when she would get off work.
Glancing at the remaining workload, Wen Yifan estimated the time: 8: 30.
Sang Yan: Okay.
On the other side.
Noticing that it was almost time, Sang Yan took his car keys and left the company. He habitually drove to Shang An, wanting to find a place to park under the TV station.
But for some reason, there were a lot of people in Shang An today, there weren't even many parking spaces left.
Sang Yan circled around and raised his eyebrows. Just as he was thinking about whether or not to park at Depraved Street, he suddenly saw a small alley nearby. Although he didn't have much hope, he still started the car and drove inside.
Before he drove in, Sang Yan suddenly noticed a man standing by the wall.
The man wasn't tall and was slightly fat. On such a hot day, he still wore a hat and a mask to cover up his appearance. He seemed to be hiding from someone, but he also seemed to be looking for someone. From time to time, he would look at the entrance of the TV station.
Sang Yan's fingertips tapped on the steering wheel.
The alley was narrow. Noticing the car, the man subconsciously moved to the side to make room for him.
In this action, Sang Yan caught a glimpse of the man's slightly familiar face.
It gradually coincided with the speculation in his mind.
It was Che Xingde.
Sang Yan's eyebrows slightly narrowed, and his hostility rose again. He picked up his phone and quickly dialed 110. He turned his head, lowered his voice, calmly explained the situation, and then hung up the phone. Noticing that the car didn't move, Che Xingde slowly realized that something was wrong. He took a few steps closer, and when he noticed Sang Yan's face in the car, he immediately took two steps back.
Then he ran away.
Afraid that he would run away, Sang Yan also got out of the car and chased after Che Xingde.
Sang Yan was taller than Che Xingde, so it didn't take long for him to grab Che Xingde's arm from behind and clamp him down. His chest heaved up and down as he pressed Che Xingde against the wall. He was extremely angry, "What are you doing here?"
"Motherf * cker! Son of a b * tch! "Che Xingde's face was pressed against the concrete wall, and he struggled hard," Don't f * cking touch me! Are you crazy?! "
Sang Yan's fear gradually disappeared, and he was extremely glad that he came here. He stared at Che Xingde, and he wasn't angry because of his filthy words, "Hey."
Che Xingde struggled to turn his head to look at him.
"You must be tired after running for so long, right? Why are you looking for trouble for yourself? "Sang Yan looked down and bit his words," Isn't it good to go to jail peacefully? "
Hearing that, Che Xingde's face instantly changed, "You're the f * cking one in jail. I'm going to f * cking jail!"
Sang Yan was too lazy to talk nonsense with him. He held Che Xingde's arms and pulled him out of the alley.
Che Xingde was completely no match for his strength. After a few insults, he began to beg for mercy, "I beg you, I didn't do anything, right? I didn't do anything! I was wronged! "
"About that," Sang Yan said lazily, "You go and tell that to the police."
"…"
Seeing that he was about to be pulled out of the alley, Che Xingde became more and more panicked. The desire to escape stimulated his potential. At a certain moment, he forcefully shook off Sang Yan's hand.
Sang Yan took a few steps back. In the process, something fell out of his pocket, rolled a few times and made a slight sound. Sang Yan was facing him, and his eyes met with Sang Yan's vicious gaze.
"F * ck you, bitch!" Che Xingde took out a knife from his pocket and pounced in his direction. The silver blade was illuminated by the street light, flashing a ray of light. "I want to see who the f * ck is the one who is going to suffer!"
Wen Yifan curled her lips and habitually called Sang Yan after packing up her things.
But this time, the other side didn't pick up the phone as usual.
Wen Yifan glanced at the table while waiting. She suddenly noticed that she had missed the voice recorder on the table. She subconsciously picked it up. At the same time, the other side also picked up the phone.
She was about to speak, but an unfamiliar female voice came from the other side, "Hello?"
Wen Yifan paused, "Hello, who are you?"
"Ah, I just picked up this phone." The woman said, "The owner of the phone just caught a criminal. He was stabbed by a knife and is now in the hospital. Are you his friend? Do you want me to give this phone to you? "
Wen Yifan was confused as if she didn't understand what she said, "What?"
The woman, "I don't know the exact situation, but there's still a lot of blood … …"
After a few seconds of silence, Wen Yifan's voice trembled a little, "Is the injured person called Sang Yan?"
"I don't know." The woman said, "He's tall and thin. He looks quite handsome."
Hearing this, Wen Yifan pinched her palm with her fingertips and ran outside, "Where are you now?"
… …
When she arrived at the alley that the woman mentioned, Wen Yifan glanced inside and immediately saw the bloodstains on the ground. Her body was cold. She couldn't believe it all along the way, and her mind was blank. She took Sang Yan's phone that the woman picked up.
The screen had a few cracks on it, and the corners were stained with dust.
Wen Yifan turned on the screen and saw the photo of the two of them on the Ferris wheel.
After asking a few more questions, Wen Yifan softly said, "Thank you." She turned her head and saw Sang Yan's car parked at the entrance of the alley. She continued to walk forward and stopped a taxi by the roadside. She got on the taxi and went to the city hospital.
All the terrible thoughts came to her mind at this moment.
She didn't dare to think about it at all.
Wen Yifan thought of the day her father passed away.
But that day, she was accompanied by Sang Yan on the road.
This time, she was alone.
Wen Yifan didn't want to scare herself. She believed in Sang Yan's promise and tried to control her emotions, but her hands were still trembling uncontrollably. She tightened her grip on the phone, and her vision was gradually filled with mist. Drops of tears fell on the back of her hand.
It was cold.
On this hot day, it seemed to be able to penetrate through her skin and freeze her bones.
Her vision was blurred.
Wen Yifan stared at the recording pen and Sang Yan's phone in her hand. At this moment, she didn't know which button on the recording pen was pressed, but the man's cold and arrogant voice suddenly sounded in the quiet car.
"The temperature has dropped, be careful at work. Your partner wants you to go home safely. "
