Chapter 77 In the Safe
Li Hong clenched her hands tightly, as if she wanted to tear the family apart to express her anger at the moment. She complained sadly: "When I went to question Xie Dehai, his true nature was finally exposed. He and his sons beat me up. He even threatened me with the video of them abusing Lingling. If I dare not listen to them, Lingling's reputation will be ruined!"
Wu Qingluan took a deep breath. She could now understand Li Hong's helplessness over the years.
"What happened next?" Although she could already foresee what would happen next, Wu Qingluan still poured her a glass of water and guided her to continue.
Li Hong was silent for a while. To her, talking about those horrible nightmares that tormented her day and night would mean revealing everything about her. She didn't even dare to imagine how she would live in the future.
"Xie Dehai's family threatened Lingling and me. We had no way to deal with it. Xie Dehai seemed to have some connection with the person in charge over there. He wanted to live a good life. Later, I asked Lingling to run away, but failed every time. The only time Lingling finally ran away, but it was Xie Dehai's intention." Li Hong 's voice became lower and lower, and her mood became more and more depressed.
"Because he wants to use Xie Lingling to earn more money for them to squander, right?" Wu Qingluan couldn't bear to let her continue, so she chose to speak herself.
Li Hong nodded, and couldn't hold on any longer, so she leaned over the table and burst into tears.
"Sometimes I overheard them talking. They said they wanted to open some illegal casino and they needed money. Lingling could only send the money back to me to avoid their beatings. Even if she ran away, she still couldn't get rid of them!" Li Hong cried loudly, complaining about the humiliation her daughter had suffered over the years.
"I also want to die, but I gave up several times. If I live, I can still see my daughter and take some punches for her occasionally. If I die, I will not be able to close my eyes!" Li Hong looked at Wu Qingluan and completely collapsed.
At this moment, Wu Qingluan felt that her chest was filled with an inexplicable emotion. She thought that as long as there were laws in this world, the victims could be protected. She thought that as long as there were law enforcers, the weak could be protected.
But she never thought that in some corners of this world, the darkness of human nature was beyond her imagination.
This interrogation took a long time, but the only thing that was worth celebrating was that according to the evidence obtained by Shang Lu and Li Meng, the Xie family might not be able to turn things around.
"I don't know what the situation is with the captain and the others." After coming out of the interrogation room, the three of them finally breathed a sigh of relief. Cao Cang drank a large glass of water and then said something.
Speaking of Gu Nankai.
After Gu Nankai ran out of the serious crime team, Gao Yuan and Li Meng were already waiting for him in the car. Gao Yuan got a car from somewhere and was now in the driver's seat. Li Meng was already tinkering with the wooden box.
"Gao Yuan, take us directly to where the Xie family lives after they come to Longhai ." Gu Nankai instructed Gao Yuan as soon as he got in the car. Gao Yuan exclaimed, "Captain, it's a bit far from the serious crime unit."
"We have to go even if it's far away. I'm worried that the murderer will choose to commit another crime there. If we can't get there in time, innocent people may be harmed." Gu Nankai said anxiously, and then ignored Gao Yuan and looked directly at Li Meng: "Li Meng, what's the situation? Is there any solution?"
Li Meng's dark eyebrows were tightly knitted, and all his attention was focused on the two boxes. Without even raising his head, he asked, "Captain, who said this box has a detonator?"
Gu Nankai answered without even thinking: "Xie Lingling said that in the letter she wrote to Wu Na and Zhao Qing."
Just as he finished speaking, Gu Nankai's face suddenly changed. He fell silent and the two letters from Xie Lingling flashed quickly through his mind. She said the right time. So, in Xie Lingling's opinion, when is the right time?
"When we find the murderer!" He suddenly shouted to himself, and both Li Meng and Gao Yuan were attracted by him.
"Captain, what do you mean?" Li Meng asked in confusion. After observing the two boxes for most of the day, beads of sweat . Gu Nankai suddenly asked such a question, and he didn't understand anything.
"Xie Lingling said in the letter that when the right time comes, there will be clues to guide Wu Na and Zhao Qing to find a way to open the box. I was wondering when the right time would be. After much thought, it can only be when we find the murderer!" Gu Nankai explained quickly.
"Captain, although I can defuse bombs, that is based on the fact that I can see the bomb. But I dare not touch this thing through the box. Although I can take slightly violent measures, I can only guarantee that no one will be hurt. But it is difficult for me to guarantee that the things inside will be intact." Li Meng pointed to the closed box helplessly.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious." Gu Nankai pressed his hands and spoke to Li Meng and Gao Yuan, and also to himself. He quickly dialed Wu Na's number. Wu Na on the other end of the phone was so worried that she couldn't sleep, so she quickly picked up Gu Nankai's call.
"Wu Na, listen to me. Think carefully about where Xie Lingling usually keeps things, such as her money, or some of her valuables."
Wu Na was silent for a long time but still shook her head and immediately said to Gu Nankai: "Officer Gu, I really can't remember. Lingling never saves anything. I have never heard her say that. But I often save some valuable things in the bank."
Gu Nankai immediately asked: "Have you saved anything recently?"
Wu Na was silent for a moment. Gu Nankai noticed her hesitation and immediately said, "Wu Na, stop hiding it from us!"
Wu Na was shocked, but she finally said, "I saved it. More than a month ago, Lingling accompanied me to the bank and I deposited some money."
"What is that!" Gu Nankai's voice came quickly.
Wu Na took a deep breath: "The ring that Lin Feng gave me."
Gu Nankai frowned, as if he understood something. Wu Na on the other end of the phone quickly told him the name of the bank. Gu Nankai immediately hung up and called Zhao Qing.
As he thought, more than a month ago, Xie Lingling also accompanied Zhao Qing to deposit some things. When Zhao Qing mentioned the name of the bank, Gu Nankai's eyes jumped, and when he hung up the phone, he seemed very excited: "Gao Yuan, change the route to Huafeng Bank!"
Gao Yuan changed his course without any doubt. Li Meng was still studying the box . Gu Nankai was a little excited. If he did not make a wrong bet this time, then everything would be over.
He took a deep breath and looked out the window. The people outside were either walking hurriedly or slowly, some were happy or sad. He watched each person's face pass before his eyes. Suddenly, he wondered, when Xie Lingling was walking on this road and looking at these pedestrians, what was her mood? When the murderer behind the scenes looked at these people, what was his mood?
He couldn't figure it out, nor could he imagine why they, who were obviously two people in heaven and earth, could empathize with each other's pain so much, and why they could endure such a tragic separation to prove themselves against something?
He shook his head, not quite sure. Perhaps he would only know the truth when he met that person.
Soon, very soon they would meet. He couldn't wait to see that person, he couldn't wait to know why, but at the same time, he was a little resistant, resisting to give himself a little more time.
But who knows, who knows if that person is also impatiently waiting for him to come to him?
