    Chapter 233 Wufu 70 Chaos

    "She begged us not to let anyone know that she came to the police. If her parents knew, they would kill her." Laobian used a clear and usual tone to describe this incident that happened many years ago.

    "Because of what she said, you didn't put this record in the final big file?"

    "Lao Xing, this is not a formal report, and..." Lao Bian shook his head, "There are loopholes in her narrative, but we still conducted an investigation."

    "What's the problem?" Dynasty asked.

    "Death time." Xing Conglian narrowed his eyes.

    The forensic report on the file indicated that the old homeless man died around 4am.

    But according to Shen Lian's statement, she witnessed Chen Jianguo pushing down the homeless when she came home from the cram school. This time should be between 18:00-22:00, which does not match the real time of death of the deceased.

    The old man nodded: "Although there is something wrong with the girl's testimony, we still did four investigations, and there was no doubt. Finally, we investigated the identity of the junior high school student."

    "Is it Shen Lian?"

    The old man nodded: "This matter, although she keeps secret who she is, we must investigate her identity and background, and we simply found out that she is the daughter of the Shen family at No. 4 Xiaolin Lane. Later, we found her. The director of the local neighborhood committee slammed it around, of course he didn't mention the girl's name, but the director also guessed that it was Shen Lian."

    "Shen Lian..." Lin Chen whispered, "How could the director guess it was her at once?"

    Lao Bian tapped his head with his fingers and said, "The director said that they had long guessed that Shen Lian would go to the police for the death of the homeless person. Before that, Shen Lian had made troubles at home many times, and the relationship between the Shen family and the Chen family It's also very stiff. She said that the little girl has a bad mind and a problem."

    The old police officer's so-called bad brain, of course, refers to mental problems.

    "But Shen Lian has no medical records of mental illnesses," Lin Chen said.

    "No, but at that time, if the child's spirit was abnormal, many parents would hide it, and Shen Lian's mental problems were not that serious, so her parents did not send their daughter to the hospital." Laobian Say.

    Lin Chen was keenly aware of the problem in the old saying: "How do you know that because her mental problems are not serious, her parents didn't send her to the hospital?"

    Lin Chen emphasized the word "parents".

    "We talked to her parents about this," said the old man.

    Inside the room, Wang Chao gasped: "Didn't she ask you not to let her parents know, why did you say it!"

    Xing Conglian said, "Should it be leaked by the director of the Sub-district Office?"

    Laobian was helpless and wanted to touch a cigarette, so Xing Conglian took out one from his pocket, while Laobian bit the cigarette, Xing Conglian lit a lighter and moved closer.

    The old police officer said: "In the small streets and alleys, there are no secrets between neighbors. The director of the street talked to Shen Lian's parents. The couple came to the police station one day and explained the daughter's problem. The husband and wife meant that the daughter When I went to school in the morning, I was very excited when I saw people die on the road. Shen Lian always felt that the death of the old homeless was related to her, and changed a lot of reasons. They took their daughter to the country to keep her away from the source of stimulation. Shen Lian The loving parents finally begged us not to let their daughters leave a criminal record." The old man exhaled, "How can this be called a criminal record, that is, a simple investigation."

    "So, you simply believed the words of Shen Lian's parents?" Xing Conglian said sharply, "After the incident, the daughter is mentally abnormal again. How can you see that there are problems with both parents."

    "Her parents were not at home that night, they were working overtime, and the alibi was clear, so there were no two of them in the confession. And it was basically the same as what Shen Lian's parents said, because Chen Jianguo was not arrested, and Shen Lian came again. I've come to us. This time, the little girl's testimony has changed again."

    Because the old police officer smoked, the second floor was filled with smoke, and with the sun on the top floor, the room was as hot as a steamer.

    But that night, it was freezing cold.

    Her parents didn't go home because of the night shift, and Shen Lian, a junior high school student, was used to the occasional night of living alone. But that day, because of the cold wave, it started to rain, and the temperature outside the house had dropped to below zero. Of course, the house was not much better. She did witness the old tramp arguing with Chen Jianguo, but the time was not when she came back from her cram school, but at 12 o'clock in the evening. She finished her homework and was about to go to bed, when she heard a woman's cry outside the house, the voice was very low, but the purring sound of being covered with a sexual desire was particularly clear on a drizzly winter night.

    She struggled for a while, and finally got up the courage to quietly open the curtains and open the window a little. Through the extremely weak light of the street lamps, saw an extremely disgusting and filthy scene.

    She saw that Chen Jianguo was under the eaves, half of his pants were taken off, and he was having sex with Auntie Li Wanru next door.

    The teenage girl peeped into the midnight adultery, and she kept watching from the window. But neither she nor Li Jianguo, nor even Li Wanru thought that a fourth person would appear in the cold winter night.

    The old homeless man returned from picking up the leftovers from the hotel at night, and accidentally walked into the hidden alley that should have been deserted. In the dark night, the old man was wearing a tattered cotton coat, but he descended like a god, leaving the two people in the alley invisible. Li Wanru fled in a hurry, and Chen Jianguo killed the old homeless man in order to keep his mouth shut.

    This is the second edition of the story, which has more detail than the simple structure of the first edition.

    After listening to it, Chao Dynasty just turned over the phone and said, "I checked the historical weather records of that day, -1~4°, it's still raining lightly, isn't Chen Jianguo afraid of freezing?"

    Xing Conglian slapped the dynasty as usual: "As you know? The words are so uncivilized."

    After he finished saying this, no one continued. The room was eerily silent, as if the shadows of the dead were floating gently on a winter night.

    Lin Chen sat in the corner, frowning and thinking. When Xing Conglian's eyes were projected over, Lin Chen just raised his eyes and asked, "This is the second version, is there a third version of the story?"

    Because he was completely guessed what happened, Lao Bian suddenly raised his head, stared at Lin Chen in astonishment, then rubbed his face and continued.

    After the version of the midnight affair, Shen Lian found the police for the third time and changed her eyewitness testimony again.

    This time, she told the police that the person who actually cheated with Chen Jianguo was not Li Wanru. Chen Jianguo intended to sexually assault a little girl that night, and the girl was rescued by an old beggar from being killed. However, Chen Jianguo was not very angry, and very late, he secretly went to trouble the old beggar and killed him by the bridge.

    Probably this case also left a deep trace in Laobian's heart, so the old policeman was not confused when he talked about the details.

    Lin Chen sat on the back of the chair, his legs crossed, and he was looking down at the shadow somewhere on the wooden floor, wondering what he was thinking.

    Finally, Lin Chen said, "Should there be a final version of the story?"

    Lin Chen asked.

    However, what was unprecedented was that Lin Chen guessed wrong this time. Laobian didn't nod his head, but denied it very simply: "No, this is the last version of the story that Chen Lian told."

    Lin Chen suddenly raised his head: "What happened?"

    "What do you mean?" The old man had been talking for so long, and his emotions were not so right. He asked Lin Chen inexplicably.

    "No. After that, Shen Lian really didn't find you again?" Lin Chen asked again.

    Laobian put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said, "I can't understand what Consul Lin wants to say."

    Lin Chen said very clearly: "I mean, I think Shen Lian didn't tell the truth, she should come to you again."

    "She did come." The old man said.

    "the last time?"

    "the last time."

    "What happened to make her leave without changing her eyewitness testimony."

    Lao Bian sighed: "Because my partner finally couldn't help it, and exposed the little girl's lie in person."

    The old man said that his partner is different from him, he is the kind of natural temper.

    Over and over again, he was deceived by a little girl with falsehoods, wasting the manpower and material resources of the police, and his partner was already very dissatisfied.

    When Shen Lian found them for the fourth time, his partner told Shen Lian directly, asking her to study hard and finding the police was not fun. All the stories she made up did not match the time of the old tramp's death with the real time of death of the deceased.

    "Then what?" Lin Chen asked.

    "Then Shen Lian left."

    Lin Chen frowned: "Can you please recall carefully what happened at that time, so that Shen Lian never saw you again after leaving."

    The old side scratched his eyebrows, lost in painful memories.

    "It must be your partner's words that caused her to have violent emotional fluctuations, and her reaction should be obvious."

    "It's when the homeless man died!" The old man patted his leg, "My partner said that the old homeless man didn't die in the middle of the night, but at the dawn of the next day, the little girl said several times. 'Impossible', very excited, half-sized girl, almost attacked my partner."

    "Attack?" Chao Dynasty was taken aback.

    "Choke her neck, but she was blocked by my partner." Laobian shook his head again and again, "After that, we really believed that she was not normal, and the normal little girl who came to make up stories with the police again and again was too paranoid. "

    The old man was still talking, and the old policeman was forced to look up the old things more than ten years ago and retell them. At the end, after the story was told, the old man seemed to be unable to stop the car and began to recall the past.

    Xing Conglian said a few words to the other party, but he kept paying attention to Lin Chen's expression.

    From the moment when he heard that Shen Lian was excited because of the real death time of the old tramp, Lin Chen kept a thoughtful look, and finally, Xing Conglian clearly saw a sad look on Lin Chen's face.

    Lin Chen's expression disappeared in a flash, he slowly blinked his lower eyelids, as if he had completed the puzzle, everything became clear.

    Lin Chen stood up and said goodbye to Laobian.
