Chapter 492 Boss Lady Nie Lin

"Did Jiang Mingfu take the bracelet?"

Chen Yi frowned slightly when he received the call, then relaxed quickly.

"Okay, it's okay."

If it were Wei Jianfeng or Fang Songping, he would definitely have to say something, but since he was not familiar with Xia Lanshan, he still had to be polite.

Just take it away. The extraction of fingerprints and substances on the bracelet has been completed. It doesn't make much sense to leave it in the hands of the police. It's just that procedurally it cannot be returned to the owner for the time being.

Jiang Mingfu has an important business status in Mingcheng and even the entire Yunzhou. It is normal for some people to need to give face, and Chen Yi can understand it.

That's not what he was thinking about.

"I'm a little anxious."

After hanging up the phone from Xia Lanshan, Chen Yi, who was having dinner, started thinking.

According to Jiang Mingfu, Jiang Yanyan liked this bracelet very much. After losing it, she even lost a few pounds without thinking about food or tea. Now that she has found it, it is understandable that she is eager to get it back, but she seems to be a little too eager and does not hesitate to offend Xia Lanshan.

Xia Lanshan is in charge of the criminal investigation work of a province. In ancient times, he was equivalent to a sixth-grade official in charge of criminal matters, who controlled the power of life and death in criminal cases. Can such a person be easily offended?

It was not in line with the personality of a business tycoon. At this moment, Jiang Mingfu seemed to have lost some of his sanity.

Just for your daughter's liking? Is there really such a doting father?

When the seeds of doubt begin to sprout, any unreasonable behavior will be amplified. Perhaps, that bracelet has special meaning to Jiang Yanyan.

For example, it has something to do with that strange disease.

Can bracelets cure illnesses? Of course Chen Yi would not believe such nonsense.

Just because he didn't believe it didn't mean that Jiang Mingfu didn't believe it.

"Old Hu, ask my colleagues over in Mingcheng to check the origin of the bracelet, secretly." Thinking of this, Chen Yi looked at Hu Qingzhi, who was sitting diagonally opposite, in the canteen where several people were eating.

"Where did the bracelet come from?" Hu Qingzhi was confused, "I bought it from someone else."

Chen Yi: "I know. Let's continue to investigate further. Where did the seller get it?"

Hu Qingzhi didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said, "Okay, I'll make a call later."

…

Tonight, Chen Yi chose to stay at the hotel owned by Tu Xiangnan. It is a very common chain and can be found in almost all cities and counties across the country. The price is affordable.

Although Tu Xiangnan died, his wife was still there, and the hotel's operations seemed not to be affected in any way.

Chen Yi knew a lot about the hotel industry. If he wanted to open this hotel, including the franchise fee, decoration fees and other expenses, he would need to prepare about 7 million in funds.

Thirty-two-year-old Tu Xiangnan didn't win the lottery and didn't get a windfall. How could he get seven million?

Did he really develop step by step and finally open this hotel with the help of a loan?

It's also possible.

With so many people across the country, there will always be a considerable number of young men who have achieved theoretical financial freedom at an age when others are still struggling.

Investigating a case cannot rely on imagination, but on facts.

During today's meeting, the task force had already recruited people from the Economic Investigation Detachment of the Ruicheng City Bureau to conduct an in-depth investigation into the financial status of the four victims and start from scratch to find out how these four people started their business.

Even the source and whereabouts of a penny cannot be let go.

Vendetta is still the current focus of investigation. As for the speculations about religion and sacrifice mentioned by Han Yuedong, you can pay attention to it during the investigation.

After ten o'clock in the evening, the hotel gradually became busy.

Many young couples came to the front desk to book a room and each took out their ID cards. Tonight was destined to be a wonderful night.

There was also a man in his forties or fifties passing in front of Chen Yi with a young beauty. You could clearly see the anticipation and excitement on the man's face. He was destined to be extremely happy tonight.

Also, occasionally you can see a slim and fashionable beauty entering the door and going straight to the elevator. The forced naturalness is full of flaws in Chen Yi's eyes. The other party should be afraid that the front desk will ask her for her ID card.

Takeaway? Chen Yi didn't know that this kind of chain hotel was the hardest hit area in the past, but now... the management is much stricter, and the police often check the rooms.

Therefore, there is a saying in the industry that you should not go to the hotel for takeout.

As a policeman, he is responsible for public security in Yemen.

Snap!

Chen Yi lit a cigarette. He didn't want to sit here and watch the gunfire at night. He wanted to talk to Tu Xiangnan's wife.

The other party has already arrived and is supervising the work at the front desk and helping me by the way.

The woman is very young, with a pure appearance and an eye-catching figure. Her bunted hair makes her look much more mature.

The information shows that he is twenty-six years old and has a bachelor's degree. Judging from the time of marriage, he and Tu Xiangnan should have received their marriage certificate before graduation.

As long as you do well, your wife will take the college entrance examination.

As long as you are rich, my wife will go to kindergarten.

truth.

If you marry someone of your own age, it means you are not rich enough, unless it is the result of joint efforts between husband and wife.

Chen Yi had been looking at her, and finally the woman noticed him, and they looked at each other.

When she was in college, she was stared at by boys every day, so she was not surprised.

Just as she was about to look away, Chen Yi suddenly raised his hand to wave to her and called boss.

The woman hesitated for a moment. You can't ignore customers when doing business, so she left the front desk and walked over.

"Hello, do you need anything?"

Chen Yi pointed to the sofa: "Boss Nie, please sit down."

Nie Lin subconsciously thought that the other party was trying to strike up a conversation, and was about to refuse when she was stunned when she heard the surname "Nie" and asked in confusion: "Who are you?"

Chen Yi took out his ID: "Hello, Boss Nie, Interpol."

After learning the identity of the criminal police officer, Nie Lin no longer had any doubts and sat down decisively.

Since her husband was killed, she has faced police questioning frequently, and has even become accustomed to it.

However, what needs to be said has been said. She didn't know much about Tu Xiangnan, and she had no impression that he had any enemies. She really had no new information to provide to the police.

After a brief chat, Chen Yi understood what she was thinking and said: "Boss Nie, we just came from Mingcheng to take over the case. We are not here specifically to ask you today. We just live here. Since we have encountered it, then... Just say a few words."

Nie Lin suddenly realized: "Oh, that's right, okay, the room fee can be waived."

Chen Yi smiled: "No, we can reimburse you. You and Tu Xiangnan have known each other for a long time, right?"

Nie Lin nodded: "Yes, we have known each other since college. I was out shopping with my classmates that day. He took the initiative to strike up a conversation and asked for my contact information. Later he became my boyfriend. Later he proposed to me and I agreed. At that time, he also Didn’t graduate.”

She spoke in detail and there was no need to wait for Chen Yi to ask.

Chen Yi likes this kind of conversation, and everyone is relaxed.

"Do you know Yuluo Village?"

"I know, Xiang Nan mentioned to me that he seems to be in... Mengzhen Town, right? The police came to ask before. I really don't know why he went to that place. Maybe it was business?"

Chen Yi: "What does the hotel business have to do with Mengzhen Town?"

Nie Lin smiled apologetically: "I just said it casually."

Chen Yi: "Why did he mention Mengzhen Town to you, and under what circumstances did he mention it?"

Nie Lin recalled: "Well... when I bought me a jade bracelet, I just talked about it. I said that there is a Yuluo Village in Mengzhen Town, which is the birthplace of jade. There are jade everywhere in the village. I just picked it up. At that time, I felt He was bragging, how could such a place exist? If it existed, it would have been picked up long ago.”

Chen Yi: "When you met him, the hotel hadn't opened yet, right?"

Nie Lin: "Not yet."

Chen Yi: "He was very rich at that time?"

Nie Lin thought this question was a bit rude, but she didn't show it and replied: "It's okay, he has always been generous. What I value is his people, not his money."

Chen Yi was noncommittal. He didn't care about this issue. It didn't matter whether he was really in love or not.

However, forcing an explanation will make people feel guilty.

"Has he ever cheated?"

"No."

"Do you have any special quirks?"

"No."

"Are there any character flaws?"

"No, I can't feel it."

…

Chen Yi asked a series of questions in great detail to get to know Tu Xiangnan comprehensively, and finally found that he was very normal and clean, without any doubts.

Nie Lin was confused and couldn't understand the things she vaguely mentioned about candles, symbols, and four images.

Is Tu Xiangnan really clean? Four people who knew each other were killed, and the probability of strangers committing the crime was too small.

If a motive cannot be found, there is little hope of solving the case.

In Jiang Cheng's case, the murderer was caught because of the motive for committing the crime. The method of committing the crime, the crime scene, the time of the crime, the motive of the crime, etc. There must be at least one breakthrough, otherwise there is no hope of closing the case.

So far, all dead ends.

"Thank you." Chen Yi said.

Nie Lin stood up: "You're welcome, if nothing happens, I'll go and get busy?"

"good."

After Nie Lin left, Chen Yi sat on the sofa for a while, then got up and went upstairs to his room.

Do we need to check the hospital records? That's not right. Nothing was missing from the four deceased people. The murderer clearly wanted to kill himself.

Since it's for life, why do we need to perform weird rituals?

The ritual is indeed the key. If you figure out the reason, you may be able to get the motive, but it is very difficult. The task force has already failed before, and there is nothing he can do if he comes.

"There is strength in numbers, and the whole country will know about it, right?"

In the room, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu were chatting.

Fang Shuyu: "You want to post it online?"

Chen Yi pondered for a while, nodded and said, "Maybe."

There is no mention of the murder and no scene photos. With a few keywords, people who understand should be able to figure out that it doesn't matter if the murderer finds out. There will be no worse consequences.

Seeing Chen Yi half leaning on the chair, Fang Shuyu stood up and came over to rub his temples and said: "Actually, it can be considered a punishment ceremony. Since it is punishment, it is a vendetta. There is no problem in investigating in the direction of the vendetta. Others It’s not very reasonable, because the victims know each other, it can’t be such a coincidence.”

Chen Yi hummed: "Vendetta is still the most likely possibility. What have the four people done?"

Fang Shuyu smiled and said, "During the day, didn't you say you were motivated by money?"

Chen Yi: "It's just a wild guess. If strangers make enemies, it's either money or sex. If acquaintances make enemies, I don't believe Lao Han can't find out."

After chatting for a while, Fang Shuyu urged to go to bed early and combine work and rest.

The tasks ahead are very heavy, and the pressure will not be less until the case is solved.

This time I had a great experience with Fang Shuyu and Chen Yi. There was a warm light shining on me as I struggled to move forward in the intricate and unknown lines of the case.
