Problematic Sister Fell In Love With Me

Chapter 297: Chapter 297 The Progress Of The Police Investigation Part 2

“Someone had bribed the police who handled the case at that time, and had all the files regarding the case removed!” I almost couldn’t contain my anger when I heard this.

Dong Xiaoye nodded with certainty and carried on with a serious tone, “the neighbor of Xu Heng said that after the police determined that his younger sister’s death was a suicide, Xu Heng went crazy for two days, but when his mother fell ill, he acted as if nothing had happened. He quit his job and stayed at home to take care of his mother.

“Occasionally when he went out and saw the folks in the village, he would still take the initiative to greet everyone. However, everyone still had a bad opinion about him, so no one was willing to approach him. Regarding other people’s indifferent attitude toward him, he also didn’t seem to care. Two months later, when his mother passed away, only a few relatives came to help with the funeral arrangement. The neighbor said that he could not forget how deserted the funeral was at that time. He said that Xu Heng’s mother was later buried in the fruit grove behind the village after being cremated, and Xu Heng knelt before the grave for three days without eating or drinking. Then on the fourth day, he disappeared. No one knew where he went, and no one asked, as if this person had never existed in the village. His family’s relocation fee was later divided equally among the relatives who helped him to organize the funeral…”

“Disappeared?” Probably no one else apart from Xu Heng himself knew the reason why he had disappeared for seven years. But I believed that this was directly related to the evidence he provided to the police. In those seven years, he must have done a lot of things.

His father died in an accident; his younger sister was raped and committed suicide; his mother fell ill and later passed away because of grief. After all the blows, he still needed to face rumors and indifferent eyes of the people in the village. I didn’t know what Xu Heng was thinking in front of his mother’s grave during those three days, I also didn’t know how he felt at that time, but all I knew was that it must be a terrible feeling. Maybe it was the feeling of despair.

“It is very difficult to find out who handled Xu Heng’s younger sister’s case, but there is one thing that we are sure of, and that is, this person is definitely not an ordinary person…”

What Dong Xiaoye said now contradicted what she had said earlier. She had clearly said that some people didn’t want Lin Zhi’s task force to investigate the death of Xu Heng’s younger sister. This proved that they knew where the resistance came from, and that the source of the resistance was clearly their suspect. I didn’t know if Sister Tiger didn’t know the specific situation, or she didn’t tell me on purpose.

“Are you sure it is okay for you to tell me this? I’m not part of your task force…”

Dong Xiaoye looked at me quietly, there was a complicated look in her eyes. After a while, she said softly, “Captain Lin asked me to tell you, because you are the only key to this case.”

“I am the key?” I chuckled and said, “are you kidding me?” This case happened seven years ago, what did it have anything to do with me? At that time, I was about the same age as the current Chu Yuan. And like Xu Heng’s younger sister, I was still in high school.

“I’ve told you already that this is very important, so I am very serious. Chu Nan, if the death of younger sister Xu Heng was really related to Long Xiaotian, then don’t you feel that the way Long Xiaotian dealt with this matter was very strange?” Dong Xiaoye said, “Since the case had already been determined that it was a suicide, it means that it had nothing to do with Long Xiaotian, but then why did he want to erase all the traces of the case? On the other hand, if the case file was still there, it could prove that Long Xiaotian was not guilty even more.”

My heart trembled, “you mean…”

“They are guilty of something!” Dong Xiaoye said word by word, “the task force has now deduced two possibilities. First, regarding the death of Xu Heng’s younger sister, there was evidence against Long Xiaotian, so there must be some obvious flaws existing in the file, such as unreasonable procedures or autopsy reports. To erase the case file is to erase the evidence. In terms of the second possibility… It is just a bold assumption at the moment. The task force suspects that the Long family did not want to keep the case file because they wanted to get rid of him!”

This was indeed a bold assumption. I was taken aback when I heard it, “Get rid of him?”

“Yes, his father died in an accident, his younger sister committed suicide, and his mother died of illness. If he also committed suicide, do you think anyone would find it strange?” Dong Xiaoye said slowly and sternly.

Cold sweat had already come out from my forehead. I swallowed and said, “You are suspecting… that someone wanted to kill him, he noticed it, so he ran away?”

Dong Xiaoye fiddled with the Coke can in her hand, the anger in her eyes was like flames, and she said fiercely, “anyone would be scared when they find out the rich people can use money to get away from anything. This is probably the reason why Xu Heng didn’t believe in the law at all and chose to punish Long Xiaotian using his own method!”

Her slender hand suddenly exerted force, the coke can was instantly crushed. She gritted her teeth and said, “I didn’t become a policewoman to be questioned and mocked by criminals. I will not spare any of the scum who smear and tarnish the image of the police!”

When I heard those words, I really wanted to tell her that driving under the influence of alcohol would also ruin the image of the police… But I didn’t dare to tease Sister Tiger at the moment, because I could tell that she was really angry at this moment…

Dong Xiaoye took the paper towel I handed her and dried her hand that was wet with Coke. Looking at the crushed can and the wet stain on the floor, her face was red with embarrassment. I smiled and went to get the mop, but Dong Xiaoye immediately snatched it from my hand.

“You are injured, let me do it,” While mopping the floor, Sister Tiger continued the topic just now and asked me, “Little Chu, in your opinion, where should we start investigating Xu Heng’s case?”

“I think you need to find the policeman who handled the suicide case of Xu Heng’s younger sister first. Find out who bribed him and who asked him to remove the case file.” As soon as I sat down, I felt a sharp pain coming from the wound on my leg. I couldn’t help but frown, and then said solemnly, “there is no file of this case, but you should have your own personnel file, right? When the incident happened seven years ago, how many officers were working at the time and who were they? Who was most likely to be assigned to this case? At that time, there were more than one or two police officers. So it shouldn’t be difficult to dig out those people.”

“You are right, I can tell you that we have already identified several suspects, including the main person behind the scenes who was also closely related to Long Xiaotian. But because too many people are involved in this case, and there is no absolute evidence, we don’t want to act rashly. It’s not that we can’t dig out his crimes. It’s just that this process takes time.”

Dong Xiaoye’s voice fell even lower, and she leaned forward and said to me, “the neighbor of Xu Heng have long forgotten the appearances of the policemen who visited Xu Heng’s house seven years ago, so he can’t testify, but there is someone who will never forget who they were…”

“Xu Heng? !” The task force already knew who was involved in the case at that time, and based on what Dong Xiaoye said, it seemed like it was Xu Heng who gave them those people. A sudden ominous premonition surged in my heart.

No wonder Xu Heng wanted to run away at all cost. It turned out that his real purpose was…
