Chapter 145 Calling Uncle Ding
Wei Guoliang quickly sorted out some questions that needed to be asked and eagerly showed them to Luo Xun and Chi Xia.
Chi Xia took a pen and marked a few questions, then handed the notebook to Luo Xun: "Let Captain Luo take a look at the rest."
Luo Xun took the notebook and saw that the questions she had marked were all repeated, so he circled and marked some more content.
"Don't be too inhumane or too empathetic when asking questions. Remember, you are a police officer. Your ultimate goal is to find out the truth about their murder. You must let the family know that the police are the only ones who can help them. Ask first. If you encounter difficulties, I will help you."
"Then..." Wei Guoliang pointed weakly at the door: "I'm a little nervous around you two, can I go outside..."
"Of course." Luo Xun didn't even think about it: "I just want clues, as long as you feel comfortable during the process."
Wei Guoliang was delighted and ran out in a flash.
In the time it took to make a phone call, Luo Xun and Chi Xia walked out at the same time, and the two of them tiptoed towards the place where Wei Guoliang made the sound.
Finally, they stopped at the corner at the same time and listened furtively to Wei Guoliang's phone call.
Although he stuttered a bit at the beginning, by the time the call reached the second family member, things were looking good. Luo Xun then nodded in satisfaction and turned around to go back.
Chi Xia was leaning against the wall with his legs crossed and one foot on the ground, listening to the call, but his attention was on his own phone.
Noticing that he turned around, Chi Xia asked him, "Captain Luo, when will Heizi come over?"
"I plan to have him join me when I go to Onoko Slope."
Luo Xun saw that she looked strange: "What's wrong?"
The two walked back to the office, and Chi Xia said, "Let him help."
"What can I do for you?"
After entering the office, Chi Xia said, "Ge Jingyi told me that Heizi has a group of good brothers in Yuji, and they used to be pickpockets, right?"
Luo Xun felt that the matter was not simple: "Yes, his skills are very good, and he tortured me a lot in the beginning."
"Since he has been a pickpocket, he must be an excellent observer of the environment and people."
Chi Xia looked at Luo Xun: "Can they protect Qu Bai and Uncle Gen?"
Luo Xun's expression froze.
"Protection may not be necessary, just don't let some people disturb them, Captain Luo, we have eyes around us."
Chi Xia continued, "We need to make them return empty-handed. It's okay if they suffer a little setback, but don't go too far."
Luo Xun exhaled: "Does Qu Bai know about this?"
"I know." Chi Xia said honestly.
Luo Xun took another deep breath: "Chi Xia, is Qu Bai the person in your memory? If you don't want to say it, you don't have to say it."
"It should be."
Chi Xia's answer was faster than Luo Xun expected. She pointed to her head and said, "But my computer is still down, so I can't tell you exactly what's going on with him right now."
"Then Qu Bai..."
Chi Xia spoke again: "He should be in a downtime state like me."
"What?" Luo Xun felt that his brain was a little out of order.
Chi Xia looked at him a little innocently, and her voice became weaker.
"That is to say, the two of us are only able to recognize each other now. Before our memories are fully restored, no one dares to show their cards. Moreover, Qu Bai's situation may be more complicated than mine. I always remember that I am a people's policeman and must not act rashly. Even if it is Qu Bai, I have to keep a hand."
Luo Xun lowered his head, tapping the table with his fingertips, until he heard Wei Guoliang's footsteps . He raised his head and said, "Should I talk to Heizi, or should you?"
Chi Xia met his eyes and smiled brightly: "Let's talk about it together."
Luo Xun pulled the corner of his lips and quickly suppressed it: "Then wait and see what Wei Guoliang has to say first."
Chi Xia smiled like a fool.
Luo Xun glared at her.
Wei Guoliang came in, his face flushed with joy. "Captain Luo, Officer Chi, I found out! The families of the three deceased revealed that Shi Guangxuan and Yao Lixing had been playing together for a long time. They mainly participated in some mountaineering and camping adventure activities. Later, Yao Lixing met Guo Yiliang. After knowing that Guo Yiliang also liked similar sports, Yao Lixing introduced Shi Guangxuan and Guo Yiliang to each other. If the three of them were playing together, it should have started five years ago."
"Since five years ago ..." Chi Xia said, "We have been playing together for five years, so we can be considered good friends."
“But I have a question in mind.”
Luo Xun walked to the blackboard and wrote the words Yuji: "Two from Dingmin County, one from Yubin, why did they die in Yuji?"
"The premise is murder, murder."
Chi Xia looked at Wei Guoliang who was ready to make a move: "Xiao Wei, what do you think?"
Xiao Wei nodded rapidly, "Five years ago, exactly five years ago! Guo Yiliang's wife told me that five years ago, when Guo Yiliang and Shi Guangxuan went on their first expedition, it was Yu Ji who came."
Chi Xia suddenly realized: "This is interesting, the enemy is here to seek revenge."
"So, should we first find out what happened five years ago?" Wei Guoliang immediately grasped the key point and asked.
"right."
Luo Xun said: "Only by finding out what happened five years ago can we know the murderer's motive. Once we know the motive, we will not be far from the murderer."
"I'll check it right away!" said Wei Guoliang.
Chi Xia thought for a moment and said, "When you check this, you can focus on the exploration. Yuji...does Yuji have any places for exploration? I mean places like mountain climbing."
"have!"
Wei Guoliang said excitedly: "Officer Chi, you may not understand that we have many places like this in Yuji. They were very popular with travellers until the year before last. Since we decided to develop the tourist area, we have been strictly controlling this aspect since last year. That’s why fewer people come. But in fact, there are still people who come secretly. Nothing happens, so everyone just turns a blind eye."
"In that case..."
Luo Xun said: "Then you stay and investigate what happened five years ago, mainly to find out if there were any major expedition-related events at that time, um... especially those involving human lives."
"That little wild slope..."
"Don't worry about that. Someone will take us there."
Luo Xun picked up his coat: "We will be back as soon as possible. I hope you will have gained something when we come back."
Chi Xia followed Luo Xun out, and when he passed Wei Guoliang, he smiled and said, "Come on, young man!"
The two of them went out, and Wei Guoliang stood there, exhaled deeply, clenched his fist and said: "Young man, you have to work hard!"
Chi Xia and Luo Xun got in the car. This time Chi Xia drove. Luo Xun called Heizi and asked him to bring a reliable brother to the funeral home. Heizi didn't ask any questions and agreed straightforwardly.
Yu Ji's funeral home was not far from the police station, so they arrived quickly. Xiao Wei had already made arrangements, and someone took Luo Xun and Chi Xia directly to the room where the three bodies were stored.
There was a short but energetic old man inside.
Chi Xia knocked on the door, and the person inside looked over before they pushed the door open.
"It was you, girl, who called me?" The other party only glanced at them and then looked back at the corpse.
"Yes." Chi Xia smiled: "What should I call you?"
The old man didn't look up: "I am older than you, so it's not too much for you to call me grandpa. My last name is Ding, so you can call me Uncle Ding, it makes me look younger."
Luo Xun almost followed his first half of the sentence and called out "Uncle Ding", but luckily he was quick-witted and changed the words to "Uncle Ding."
Chi Xia found this man even more interesting and called out, "Uncle Ding, let's..."
Uncle Ding raised his hand to interrupt them. He stood up and said, "You don't need to introduce yourself. We just met by chance. I'm just helping you. Sometimes it's not good to know too many people. It will cause trouble for you later."
It's true that he has a unique personality. He doesn't cause trouble for himself, but for them...
Luo Xun glanced at Chi Xia and saw that her eyes were shining and she was looking at Uncle Ding with a smile on her face.
Just like when she heard Heizi ask Ge Jingyi.
A face full of gossip and a thirst for knowledge.
