Forensic pursuit

Nie Fanxin hadn't slept for nearly 36 hours. Just as she opened the door and changed into her slippers, she heard a soft beep on her mobile phone's WeChat notification.

Wan Xiaoyu: "There is ginger soup boiled in the pot, drink a bowl before going to bed."

"Why didn't you sleep?"

Wan Xiaoyu: "Woke up, I heard from my colleagues that Li Lan's body has been transported back to the research institute."

Nie Fanxin stared at the screen and frowned imperceptibly: "Well, you need a death certificate."

Wan Xiaoyu: "Okay, drink ginger soup first, then take a bath, and go to sleep."

"Good night. (hug emoji)"

Nie Fanxin stepped into the kitchen, and there was a low lamp on the cooking counter.With the help of the dim light, the lid of the soup pot was lifted, and three red dates glowed on the surface of the ginger water, and the warm white smoke curled up in the air.She scooped up a bowl and held it in her hand, it was refreshingly warm. She usually doesn't like to drink too hot soup, so she swallowed it in a few swallows, regardless of how hot her mouth was.

It feels so good to have my sister by my side, and Nie Fan couldn't help but think of Li Lan and Li Juan again.Li Lan was wrong, the method was too extreme, but just like what she wrote in the letter she left in the car: "There is no justice, no hope in sight, 10 years ago, I was a lonely soul in the water, and 10 years later, it will return to me." The place to go, at least, accompanied by parents."

On January 2050, 1, at the beginning of the new year, at 1:7, the clock on the bedside table shook his head jubilantly, and the person under the quilt reluctantly raised his hand to turn off the alarm.There is still follow-up work, and you can rest only when you are done. Nie Fanxin said to himself three times in his heart, and got up with his eyes open.

After washing up, they went downstairs. In the dining room, only Nie Zhiyan, Zhao Guoying and Wan Yi were sitting.

"Where's Lao Wan?"

Nie Zhiyan put the milk on Nie Fanxin's table and said, "I didn't sleep well last night, I want to sleep a little longer."

There was a faint smile on Zhao Guoying's lips: "You just dote on her too much. You have doted on her since you were young, and you will be 60 years old in a few years. You still look like a child when you go home."

Nie Zhiyan's quiet side face curved into a slight smile, and she said in a low voice, "Mom, Tongtong is happy, and I am also happy."

"Quick, let's eat candy together." Nie Fanxin pushed Wan Yi's shoulder with his right hand.

"Mmm, sweet." Wan Yi frowned slightly, showing a soft smile.

Lu Zhenglin's death attracted continuous attention from many media. At 9:20 in the morning, after a meeting and discussion, a police report was issued.

"On December 2049, 12, the command center of the Bajiao Street Police Station in Nanyun District, Binnan City received an alarm call from Zhang, a clearing worker, saying that a male corpse was found during work. After receiving the call, the Nanyun District Public Security Bureau and the Bajiao Street Police Station quickly launched The investigation confirmed that the identity of the deceased was Lu. Binnan City and Nanyun District authorities attached great importance to the case and organized hundreds of policemen to carry out case investigations, and found that Hu and Li were suspected of committing major crimes. The suspects have been detained in accordance with the law , the case is under further investigation.”

At 9:25, a second police report was issued.

"On December 2049, 12, the murder case of Mr. Lu was fermented on the Internet. Many students pointed out that they had been molested by Mr. Lu under their real names or anonymously. The Nanyun District Public Security Bureau quickly contacted the victimized students. After investigation, it was confirmed that the molestation was true. So far, three students have filed civil compensation against the deceased Lu.”

At 9:30, the third police report was issued.

"On December 2049, 12, after the investigation of the murder of Lu X, it was involved that on June 31, 2039, Li X, a senior high school student at Aolin Middle School, committed suicide by jumping off a building. , Hu Mou. At present, the case is under further investigation.”

Justice came, but too late.

Nie Fanxin found out Li Lan's address, a one-room apartment, 32 square meters for rent.The landlord gave them the keys, and at 9:50, she and Chen Anyou entered the house according to law and searched for evidence.

The room is well-organized, there is very little luggage, the furniture is purchased by the landlord, and nothing is added.There was a computer on the desk by the window, and Nie Fanxin turned it on without a password.

The historical contents of Baidu's search are all related to the case: the highest temperature in the steam room, the highest temperature the human body can withstand, the medicine that can make people unconscious quickly...

"Sister Xin, triazolam." Chen Anyou found half a bottle of medicine under the bed.

Nie Fanxin clicked on the desktop document: "I'm looking at this."

One by one, the diary written by Li Lan.

"On June 2039, 6, grandma went to the head teacher of the school and wanted to return her sister's body, but was told that she was worried that grandma would be sick and unable to move, so she had helped cremate her. What facts were they trying to cover up?"

"On June 2039, 6, grandma took a taxi to the school to negotiate, but failed. Please media exposure, but failed."

"On June 2039, 6, Weibo was exposed, and the popularity was repeatedly suppressed, but failed."

"On June 2039, 6, I accidentally logged into my sister's QQ, and it seemed that the truth was slowly approaching me. I consulted a lawyer online, but the lawyer said that the evidence was insufficient, because there was no way of knowing what harm the three of them had caused to my sister."

There was no news for several years, seven years passed, and on December 2046, 12, a new record was set.

"I also thought about restoring my identity and spending my old age with my grandma, but every time I close my eyes, my sister is standing in front of me covered in blood. She is unwilling, so how can I feel at ease... Now, there is no turning back, and Wang Gede is pushed down. That moment on the cliff."

……

Chen Anyou sighed: "It's too miserable, and the school is also responsible."

Nie Fanxin gave a soft "hmm".

Chen Anyou added: "However, murder will always be punished by law, and she knows it herself, so..."

Nie Fanxin pursed her lips into a straight line: "She should choose to call the police. She is silent or no one sees her. She is very passive."

Chen Anyou: "But the lack of evidence is indeed a big problem, after all, the body has been cremated."

"My child, is the psychological defense strong? At that time, Director Nie was guarding the city bureau, and there were four or five experts in criminal psychology. Can't deal with three children?"

Chen Anyou nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, yes."

Nie Fanxin took a deep breath, stretched out her hand, and closed Li Lan's computer tremblingly: "But, she chose the wrong path."

Coming out of Li Lan's rented unit, Chen Anyou returned to the sub-bureau to write a report, while Nie Fanxin drove alone to Lanfeng Community.While driving, while waiting for the traffic lights, she turned her head to catch a glimpse of the New Year's goods store on the side of the road, then parked the car in the area marked by the traffic lights, and walked there.

The New Year's Store was crowded with people, and Nie Fanxin squeezed in the middle, picking out two big bags of New Year's goods.Walking out of the new year's store, she subconsciously dialed Wan Yi's number.

Wan Yi whispered: "Hello."

"Are you in the institute? I'll pick you up and do me a favor."

Wan Yi's voice was very soft: "I plan to visit an elder."

Nie Fanxin thought she was busy, and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"Well, you know Li Juan and Li Lan's grandma."

In a trance, Nie Fanxin's heart seemed to be tapped lightly by something, and tears almost flowed out.Is this a tacit understanding?She called sister, paused for two seconds, and said hoarsely, "Where are you?"

"Ten minutes left."

"Wait for me at the gate of the community."

Nie Fanxin didn't plan to follow Wan Yi, Grandma Li knew her, but handed Wan Yi two big bags of New Year's goods. "Can you carry it? Is it heavy?"

Because there are two boxes that Wan Yi brought with her.

Nie Fan didn't wait for Wan Yi's answer, so she picked up two boxes and two bags of New Year's goods and stepped forward: "I'll help you carry them outside the door first."

Wan Yi looked at Nie Fanxin's back, smiled slightly, and followed her steps: "Give me two bags."
