Chapter 792 - Deceit (2)
When night fell, Fan Jianyuan punctually arrived outside the munic.i.p.al government"s courtyard, then called Li Ruo Nan.Li Ruo Nan came out to pick him up, but still checked in at the security office as usual. Because of the armed robbery at the International Convention and Exhibition Center a few days ago, the security and safety of the entire Jiang Prefecture had now been strengthened. Even the city council and the munic.i.p.al government were discussing about how to arm the police.
So even though Fan Jianyuan was Li Ruo Nan"s friend, if he wanted to enter the munic.i.p.al government"s home, he still needed to register.
On this point, Fan Jian Yuan"s performance was very cooperative and very understandable, but what made Li Ruo Nan curious was that when Fan Jian Yuan signed, he wrote very slowly, and his writing seemed to be very slow."Me? Even I can"t stand seeing such ugly writing. I want to practice, but no matter what, I can"t." Fan Jianyuan couldn"t help but to laugh and shake his head.
"As long as you practice more." Li Ruo Nan smiled.
The two chatted and laughed as they walked into Building 1, which was the munic.i.p.al government"s home.
In reality, compared to the dignified Ji Zhenguo, Li Baoyuan seemed more amiable. In addition, at this moment, like many parents, when they saw their daughter bring back a male friend, even parents would think that she was their daughter"s boyfriend.
Of course, Li Baoyuan didn"t express too much enthusiasm, he only treated Fan Jian Yuan as Li Ruo Nan"s ordinary friend.
Due to Li Baoyuan"s recent discomfort, the Li Brothers, Guard Li and Li Weidong had also returned, and had a hearty meal with all the guests.At the dinner table, Li Baoyuan also asked Fan Jian Yuan a few questions. When he found out that Fan Jian Yuan and Li Ruo Nan were cla.s.smates in high school, he couldn"t help but nod.
The smile on Fan Jian Yuan"s face became much more brilliant.
So after the meal, Fan Jianyuan stayed for a while longer before getting up and taking his leave.
Li Ruo Nan came out to see him off. Borrowing the light of the street lamps and the gradually cooling night, the two walked out side by side.It was at this time that Li Ruo Nan became a little worried. She wanted to have a showdown with Fan Jian Yuan at this time, but she didn"t know what to say. She could only lower her head and walk very slowly.
"Ruo Nan, what"s wrong with you? Is there something wrong? " Fan Jianyuan"s sharp senses sensed that something was wrong with Li Ruo Nan, so he couldn"t help but ask with a smile.
"Oh... "It"s nothing, I was just thinking about some problems!" Li Ruo Nan said."What are you thinking about? Tell me, maybe I can help you come up with some ideas! " Fan Jianyuan smiled, "Are you thinking about the case from a few days ago?"
Li Ruo Nan nodded and replied, "En."
Fan Jianyuan laughed, "Is this case not over yet?" Didn"t you say last time that this case was extremely simple, that a group of international thieves targeted this jewellery exhibition and hired mercenaries to carry out an armed robbery? Now that those people have been killed by that friend of yours, wouldn"t the case be closed? "
"That"s what I said, but there are still some suspicious points I don"t understand." Li Ruo Nan said.
"Oh?"
Fan Jianyuan asked, "What points of doubt?"Li Ruo Nan shook her head and said, "Forget it, let"s not talk about this now. It will only make you feel troubled."
"That"s not necessarily true. We look at problems from different angles. If you think it"s difficult to figure it out, then it"s not a problem for me!" Fan Jianyuan smiled.
"Alright, since you"re so confident, then help me a.n.a.lyze it."
Li Ruonian said, "Right now, there are two things I can"t figure out. First of all, those international bandits and mercenaries infiltrated Jiang Prefecture, where are they hiding? Even now, they still had not found anything! This is very strange! "
If he came to the Jiang Prefecture, then he would first have to find a place to settle down.After all, many of them were foreigners. Although foreigners were not rare in Jiang Prefecture, they were still a minority. If they lived there, it would be easy for them to be recognized.
This was what Li Ruo Nan had always been puzzled about.
Fan Jianyuan laughed, "Isn"t that simple? Since they are international thieves, then they must have been prepared beforehand. Maybe they are hiding in some remote corner, or in a place with no one in the suburbs, or in some abandoned factory. They definitely can"t infiltrate into the crowd, right?"
Li Ruo Nan shook her head and said, "That"s not right. We"ve investigated and found out that two of the international bandits are Chinese, but these two people are not from Jiang Prefecture. How come they are so familiar with Jiang Prefecture and coincidentally found a desolate place to stay?"Fan Jianyuan asked, "Then what you mean is..."
"I think someone is helping them!" Li Ruo Nan said.
"It is very likely that there are still criminals who have yet to be caught and are still at large. Or although he was also involved in the operation at that time, he was only responsible for providing support on the periphery and did not directly make a move. If I can find the place where those bandits hid, then I should be able to find other people along those lines. "
Fan Jianyuan suddenly asked in surprise, "You think so?"
Li Ruo Nan nodded and said: "That"s right! I think so, but the Bureau has always disagreed with me, so the focus of the Bureau"s investigation now is on the ident.i.ty of the international thieves and their course of action. "Fan Jianyuan said, "Ruoruo, I actually think you should listen to everyone"s opinions."
"Is that how you came up with my idea?" Li Ruonian asked.Fan Jianyuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Continue."
Li Ruonian said, "The second point of suspicion was the traces of the crime scene. After careful inspection and identification by our professional technicians, we discovered that there was a bullet at the scene, different from any other bullet at the scene. It was a small caliber pistol shot. "
"And then?" Fan Jianyuan asked.
"The location of the bullet is where Ji Feng was!" Li Ruo Nan said.
"Then …"
"In other words, someone really was shooting at Ji Feng!" Li Ruo Nan looked at Fan Jian Yuan and said, "I"ve investigated before, these small caliber bullets were often used on pocket-sized pistols in foreign countries. These pistols are very small, even smaller than the revolvers we usually use, probably not much bigger than a watch."
Li Ruonian continued, "However, this kind of handgun is rarely seen in the country. It usually appears abroad. Jianyuan, have you ever seen one?"Fan Jianyuan frowned in thought for a while before saying, "Hearing you say this, I seem to have heard of this kind of pistol before, but I"ve never seen it before." "By the way, you only talked about the gun and not the suspicious points you discovered."
"The suspicious point is..."She pursed her lips and said, "When we found the bullet, we used the laser to recover and found the general location of the shot. However, we searched the entire hall and only found the deformed bullet but not the cartridge sh.e.l.l, not even the pistol that fired the bullet!"
Fan Jianyuan was stunned. "What do you mean?""It means that someone at the scene took this weapon away, and it is very likely that they also took the cartridge sh.e.l.l!" Li Ruo Nan said, "This means that there was another murderer at the scene … … At least a murderer who attempted to murder me has escaped! "
Fan Jianyuan was surprised. "There"s such a thing?" Wait, Ruo Nan, didn"t you already figure this out? Then it"s not suspicious at all! "
Li Ruo Nan shook her head and said, "You can call me whatever you want anyway. I"m telling you this because I want to ask you if you were at the scene. Think back carefully and see if you could remember anything."
Fan Jianyuan laughed, "I really didn"t expect you to ask me so suddenly." Ruo Ruo is a man, I"m so sorry, I didn"t think that I wouldn"t be able to help you when you need help the most … "
"It doesn"t matter!"
Li Ruo Nan immediately shook her head and said, "What"s there to be sorry about … … Let"s not talk about this anymore. It will only make you feel distressed as well. "
Fan Jianyuan smiled. "It"s fine. I like to hear what you say. Being able to hear what you say is in itself a kind of happiness for me."
Li Ruo Nan slowly stopped and said: "Jian Yuan, don"t say it like that … … Actually, I have always wanted to tell you that the two of us are not suitable, and that I might have to betray your kind intentions.Fan Jianyuan was stunned, then he couldn"t help but shake his head and bitterly smile, "Actually, I had already guessed long ago that this would be the result. From your att.i.tude towards me, I can tell that you don"t actually love me, and I"m not the person in your heart, am I? "
"Jian Yuan, I"m sorry."
Li Ruo Nan pursed her lips, and said apologetically: "You treated me very well, really very well, I was the one who failed, I couldn"t grasp onto your good points, I"m really sorry … …"Fan Jianyuan shook his head and made a silencing gesture, interrupting her.
"Ruo Ruo, you don"t have to say these things. We have been friends since high school, you should know my character. I have paid the price willingly, so you really don"t need to tell me these things."
Fan Jianyuan said, "I just want to know, is that person in your heart Ji Feng?"
However, Li Ruo Nan said: "Jian Yuan, the matter between the two of us has nothing to do with others. It"s just that I don"t have this blessing, I … "I"m sorry."
At the moment, she could only apologize.
Although she had a lot of thoughts and speculations in her heart, Fan Jianyuan had been treating her well all this time. She couldn"t accept Fan Jianyuan, so her heart was filled with apologies.It was the first time in her life that she had violated her own principles!
