Chapter 24: Meeting Again in the Cafe
"Where is the factory located?" Han Yun asked while drinking porridge.
"There is a small road just outside the city in the east suburbs. If you walk along that road, you can see the factory building. It is said that it used to be a timber factory and has been abandoned for a long time." Yu Miaomiao replied: "If someone is locked up there, it is indeed difficult to be discovered because it is not on the main road and the small road does not lead to the village. Normally, no one will go there."
"That is to say, if the murderer killed Bai Jing and dumped him in the old factory directly, or buried him near the factory, the body might not be found for a while." Han Yun picked up a leek box with chopsticks and took a bite. After swallowing it, he continued, "Why didn't the murderer take a simple method, but dragged the body into the city in a suitcase and dumped it in the city?"
"The murderer did this to expose the body." Yu Miaomiao guessed.
"The body was buried and will never be discovered, so no one will ever know the secret hidden behind the body." Han Yun took a sip from the water cup and said, "The murderer probably wants the murderer's secret to be revealed."
"Secret? Is it something between him and Wu Nan? Or is it about the kidnapping of Chu Rong?" Yu Miaomiao said.
"Maybe there are other secrets that we haven't discovered yet." Han Yun ate the chive box and drank the porridge in the bowl. He checked the time and said, "I asked you to investigate Chen Yi. Did you find out anything?"
"I asked my former colleagues to help screen this person, but there's no news yet." Yu Miaomiao stood up and put away the unfinished breakfast: "Is that the kitchen?"
Han Yun nodded. Yu Miaomiao walked over, found the refrigerator, and put the breakfast in the fresh-keeping layer. After closing the refrigerator and coming out, Yu Miaomiao asked, "What do we need to investigate today?"
"Come with me to meet someone first." Han Yun stood up and checked his phone and wallet, then confirmed the time and left the apartment with Yu Miaomiao. They didn't take a car, but went straight across the square to the coffee shop where they met Su Mo yesterday.
When the two of them went in, Su Mo and Wang Lu had already arrived.
After briefly introducing Yu Miaomiao, Han Yun sat down and looked at Wang Lu. Wang Lu in front of him looked to be in her twenties, dressed youthfully and beautifully: "I heard from Su Mo that you are now running your own public account at home, right?"
"Yes." Su Mo must have told Wang Lu why she came here.
"It's very profitable to run a public account now." Yu Miaomiao, who was sitting next to Han Yun, interrupted and said, "How many followers does your public account have? What type is it?"
"Emotional articles, mainly about relationships between men and women, which are read by more people. I have been running this for more than a year, and I don't have many fans, about 500,000 or so." Wang Lu smiled and said, "I came here this time just to take a photo with Detective Han and put it on the official account, maybe it will attract more fans for me ."
Wang Lu didn't seem to think that receiving the digital card was a threat, even though two people had died. Her whole state was not that of knowing someone was going to kill her. On the contrary, Su Mo beside her looked worried, gently touched Wang Lu with his arm, and said, "It's already this late, and you're still thinking about taking a photo."
"If the King of Hell wants you to die at three o'clock in the morning, he will never let you live past five o'clock. Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by God." Wang Lu looked relaxed and looked at Han Yun after she finished speaking: "If you have anything to ask, I will definitely cooperate with you to the fullest. But the condition is that you have to agree to take a photo with me."
"Dong Xing, Bai Jing, Wu Nan, Chu Rong." Han Yun said four names, and then asked: "Do you know any of these people?"
"I have photos here. I'll find them for you." Yu Miaomiao took out his cell phone, flipped through it, and then handed the phone to Wang Lu.
Wang Lu took the photo, looked at the pictures inside, and then shook her head: "Su Mo mentioned Dong Xing and Bai Jing to me before, saying that they were the two victims of the case of receiving digital cards. As for the other two, I have never even heard of them."
"Think about it carefully. This is very important for our police to solve the case." Yu Miaomiao was a little disappointed when she heard Wang Lu say this: "If you don't know them, why did you receive the digital card?"
Wang Lu thought about it seriously again: "I really don't have much impression of these people."
"I heard from Su Mo that you worked as a reporter for a while before, right?" Han Yun picked up the coffee in front of him and took a sip, asking thoughtfully.
"After graduating from college, Su Mo joined the Beijing Capital Legal Newspaper, while I went to the Beijing Capital Morning Newspaper, which focuses more on people's livelihood news." Wang Lu was a little sad when she said this. Su Mo continued on the side: "Something happened to her during that time, and her boyfriend, who she had been dating since college, broke up with her. Wang Lu valued that relationship very much, and they had even met each other's parents and were at the stage of discussing marriage. The sudden breakup made Wang Lu very depressed and she couldn't continue her work, so she quit her job and traveled around the country to relax, and when she came back, she started to run the public account."
"Did you quit your job two years ago?" Han Yun frowned slightly.
"Two years, less than three years." Wang Lu nodded vigorously and said, "My personal emotions seriously affected me at the time, causing me to make mistakes frequently at work and lose my energy. In fact, even if I didn't resign, the editor-in-chief would probably fire me. And at the time, I just wanted to go on a spontaneous trip to comfort my wounded heart."
"Could it be that when you were a reporter for Beijing Morning News, you had come into contact with these people or offended anyone?" Yu Miaomiao asked, straightening his back.
"That's impossible. I have a pretty good relationship with my colleagues. Or maybe I offended someone without knowing it." Wang Lu glanced out the window, then looked back at Han Yun: "Cards like the ones I received can be found everywhere and can be bought anywhere. Are you guys overthinking it? Is this just a prank?"
"Not many people know the details of these two cases , and the cards were not mentioned in the news. Su Mo only found out about this after asking people inside the police station." Han Yun broke Wang Lu's fantasy: "So it's unlikely that someone used digital cards to play a prank. But don't worry, we have already told the Serious Crime Unit about this yesterday, and they have also sent people to the community to protect your safety."
"No wonder I saw some new faces in the security room when I left the community today." Wang Lu turned to look at Su Mo and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry for causing you trouble with this matter."
"We are good sisters. I know about this matter and I will definitely not stand idly by." Su Mo said to Wang Lu, then looked at Han Yun and said, "Wang Lu is very calm and never thought about the danger of this matter. If I hadn't been there that day, she might have thrown the card away."
