The secret war is silent

Early the next morning, Luo Yao asked Tan Xin to call Chief Xu Anbang.

Today, what they have to do is: review the case.

simply put.

It is to walk through the process of what happened before and after the night when "Counsel Kim" died.

"Chief Xu, I'm busy."

"Team Leader Fang, you are too polite. Just ask me if you have any questions." Xu Anbang said uneasily. How could he dare to disobey the person who could decide his own destiny?

"Well, let's go to Laohekou Restaurant first."

"yes!"

Arriving at Laohekou Restaurant and going to the private room upstairs, Luo Yao asked someone to call the boss up first: "Boss, on the night of the 11th, someone ordered a table of food and wine in this private room. Do you still remember it?"

"I remember, it was an officer named Xu who came here to make the reservation. He is a regular customer here." The boss obviously knew Xu Anbang.

Xu Anbang is responsible for the reception work in the investigation room. Arranging meals is naturally his responsibility. It is natural that he is familiar with the owner of the restaurant.

"How many dishes did he arrange that night? What kind of wine did he drink?" Luo Yao continued to ask.

"That night, Chief Xu said that he was inviting an important person to celebrate. I don't know what exactly he was celebrating. He asked me to arrange more festive dishes, and also told the guests some taboos. I just looked at the arrangements. , four cold dishes and eight hot dishes, and finally a fruit plate and snacks." said the boss.

"Where's the menu?"

"Wait a moment, I'll ask a guy to pick it up for you," the boss said.

"When did Chief Xu arrive that day?"

"It was around 5:30. He came over first, went to the kitchen to look around, decided on the dishes for the evening with me, and then went out without me asking," the boss said.

"He went out once?"

"Well, the guests hadn't arrived yet at that time. He said the guest's appointment was at six o'clock."

The waiter brought the menu over, and Luo Yao had someone copy it and returned the original menu to the boss.

"Call Chief Xu in." Luo Yao ordered, and when he asked the boss just now, he pushed Xu Anbang away.

"Team Leader Fang." Xu Anbang came in and said respectfully.

"I heard from the restaurant owner that you were the first one to arrive at the restaurant. After staying for a short while, you went out again. You didn't come back until Counselor Jin and Miss Sun arrived, right?"

"Yes."

"What are you doing?"

"To buy cigarettes, go to the canteen at the corner when you go out and turn left. The owner of the canteen can testify." Xu Anbang said hurriedly.

"How long have you been there and what cigarettes did you buy?"

"About ten minutes, I didn't calculate carefully. I bought Pegasus cigarettes. They are not expensive and easy to smoke..."

"Tiger, go check it out." Luo Yao nodded and ordered in front of Xu Anbang.

"Okay, brother!" Yang Fan agreed, opened the door and went out.

"Chief Xu, do you remember where we had dinner that night?"

"Remember, remember..." A thin layer of sweat broke out on Xu Anbang's nervous forehead, which was too delicate.

It just makes people feel breathless.

"Point to me."

"Yes, Team Leader Fang." Xu Anbang said hurriedly, "We were serving drinks to celebrate Councilor Jin that night, so the person sitting in the main seat facing the door was Councilor Jin. On his left was Director Wei. On his right was Miss Sun. Next to Director Wei That’s our Section Chief Pang, and I’m sitting across from you here.”

Luo Yao nodded. Sun Yan was a female family member. In order to avoid suspicion, it was reasonable for Xu Anbang to sit one seat apart.

"Chief Xu, have you ever pursued Miss Sun?"

"That was all in the past. I had a little interest in Sun Yan, but they didn't look down on me. What else could I do?" Suddenly, Xu Anbang was startled and quickly defended.

"Really? How come I heard that after Miss Sun and Jin Counselor got close, you still went to pester her?" Luo Yao said.

"No, absolutely not. Who is talking nonsense? Sun Yan has already joined Councilor Jin. How dare I have any more evil thoughts!" Xu Anbang swore.

Luo Yao looked at his timid appearance and smiled: "Actually, it's okay, but it's good that you can wake up in time. Miss Sun is not a good match for you."

When Xu Anbang heard this, he broke into a cold sweat.

"Can you tell me how this Sun Yan got close to Counselor Jin?" Luo Yao changed the topic and asked me.

"I don't know this very well, but Sun Yan likes shopping, especially cosmetics imported from abroad. Those things are very expensive and ordinary people can't buy them..."

"Where did Counselor Kim get so much money to buy these expensive imported items for Sun Yan?"

"I heard it was given by Director Wei. As long as it's not enough, just ask Director Wei for it. Anyway, it's not your own money, so I don't feel bad." Xu Anbang said.

"Can you buy imported things in this town?" Luo Yao asked curiously.

"Yes, you have to have money and connections." Xu Anbang laughed at himself, "Women are all vain, and they were deceived with a few small gifts."

"Haha, she should be regretting it now. Once Councilor Jin dies, not only will her things be confiscated, but she herself will also be imprisoned," Luo Yao said.

"Team Leader Fang, does Councilor Jin's death have something to do with her?"

"We don't know yet. We have to investigate clearly before we can draw a conclusion." Luo Yao shook his head, "Let's continue to review the situation that night, and repeat to me what you can remember about what you said that night. "

…

"I got out of the car at that time..." Xu Anbang showed his injured right hand to Luo Yao, "The knife pierced me, and it pierced my palm right then and there."

Luo Yao saw that Xu Anbang's right hand was still bandaged with gauze. He was the only one injured that night.

"In the car, did you notice anything unusual about Counselor Jin?"

"No, Counselor Jin drank a lot. When he got in the car, Sun Yan and I were supporting him. He was already drunk and confused in the car. When he was taken out of the car, if there was no one to support him, he would probably have stood still. Can’t live.”

"Okay, thank you Chief Xu. I wasted your time again today. Go back and recuperate." Luo Yao ended the review of the case and asked Xu Anbang to go back.

…

"Brother, Xu Anbang didn't lie. He did go to the canteen that day and bought two packs of Pegasus cigarettes. He also chatted with the owner of the canteen and smoked a cigarette before leaving. In this way, it was almost ten Minutes." Yang Fan finally found the opportunity to report.

"Tiger, bring back the woman named Zhang for questioning." Luo Yao ordered.

"clear."

"Tan Xin, let's go back. I think someone is waiting impatiently." Luo Yao greeted Tan Xin and prepared to meet at the temporary office.

…

"Director Zhang, what's wrong? You've recovered from your illness. You're discharged from the hospital so quickly. You don't have to stay for two more days to fully recover from your illness?"

Luo Yao's calculation was correct. Zhang Yuanliang was waiting for him in the office, and had been waiting for more than two hours.

No impatience at all.

There were a few people in the Fifth War Zone who could keep him waiting like this for two hours, but for others, they would have left in a hurry.

"Team Leader Fang, if the case of Counselor Jin has not been fully investigated in one day, how can I stay in the hospital?" Zhang Yuanliang said hurriedly.

"That's right. Originally, I came to see Director Zhang in person to find out the situation. Now it's better. Director Zhang, you came in person, so I don't have to make another trip."

"Team Leader Fang is the leader of the investigation team, so we should cooperate with the investigation." Zhang Yuanliang smiled. If he wasn't afraid that you would frame him randomly, who would take the initiative to come over?

"Director Zhang, have you eaten yet? I just came back and haven't thought about eating yet." Luo Yao asked.

"not yet."

"Tiger, order two more dishes and a pair of chopsticks. Director Zhang will eat with us." Luo Yao ordered.

"okay."

Zhang Yuanliang couldn't refuse this stance.

There is no kitchen in the office. It is a temporary office anyway, and meals are delivered from outside restaurants.

The price is not expensive either.

After lunch, Luo Yao invited Zhang Yuanliang into his office, and the orderly made tea and brought it in.

"Director Zhang, this morning I asked Section Chief Xu Anbang of the investigation room to help me investigate the whole process from the time they ate at Laohekou Restaurant that night, to the time when the car in which Counselor Jin was riding was stopped by military commanders, to when Director Zhang led people to take Counselor Jin away. A review was conducted." Luo Yao sat down and said to Zhang Yuanliang, there is no need to hide this, so many people have seen it.

"Team Leader Fang, have you found anything during the review of this case?"

"At present, no useful clues have been found, but at least we understand the life trajectory of Senator Jin before his death, which will be helpful to investigate and determine the cause of his death." Luo Yao explained.

"I heard that Team Leader Fang has asked a forensic doctor to perform an autopsy on Counselor Jin. Has the autopsy report been released?" Zhang Yuanliang asked.

"I haven't got the exact autopsy report yet."

"Can the cause of death be determined?" Zhang Yuanliang asked.

"It's not certain yet. The circumstances behind Councilor Jin's death are complicated. We can't draw conclusions easily. We have to be cautious." Of course, Luo Yao couldn't explain the real situation to him.

"Team Leader Fang, I think it is very important to determine the cause of death as soon as possible in order to clarify the direction of the investigation." Zhang Yuanliang said.

"Director Zhang is right. It is important to determine the cause of death, but we cannot just wait until the cause of death is determined. There are only two possibilities for Senator Jin's death, natural death and homicide. Director Zhang, which one do you think is possible? Sex is greater?" Luo Yao asked.

"This..." Zhang Yuanliang was asked. It was difficult for him to answer this question. If he answered "natural death", it would mean that he wanted to clear up the relationship. If he answered "homicide", he would not be able to escape from the relationship. The former is the most ideal situation. , but will Luo Yao agree with this conclusion?

"Team Leader Fang, the investigation of the case cannot be based on subjective assumptions. It must be based on factual evidence. Regardless of whether it is an accident or homicide, Zhang can accept it." Zhang Yuanliang said.

"Well, Director Zhang's words are enough." Luo Yao nodded, "Then let me ask Director Zhang for advice on the details of this case?"

"Okay, Team Leader Fang, please ask."
