Chapter 428 Peach Blossom Town
Qi Lei checked Liu Yan's account and found that not only did there not be any large deposits into his account, but all of his existing deposits were withdrawn by him within a few days.
This means that he had already prepared to flee and had converted all his savings into cash, which means that he had no intention of using his current identity.
They have also found the girl in the photo found in his room. She is Xiaomo, the hostess at the Blue Rain Bar.
Xiaomo said that she had no special relationship with Liu Yan, they just got what they wanted from each other and it was just a casual affair. In their line of work, the most taboo thing is to fall in love with a customer.
Besides, Liu Yan is not good-looking, has no money and is not very handsome. At most, he can only consume a few bottles of wine, which is not of much value to her.
But she didn't want to offend him. After all, he was a client. It didn't matter if he occasionally asked her to take a photo with her. That's how the photo came about.
This kind of person is just pursuing a kind of psychological satisfaction. They post on their Moments to show off. There is no loss for them, and they can even get some extra tips. Why not do it?
However, Xiaomo provided a clue. She said that Liu Yan once drank too much and made advances towards her, but she rejected him.
Taking photos is one price, touching someone is another price. You can't take advantage of them for free.
Liu Yan was very angry at the time and said, "Believe it or not, I will kill you. It's not like I haven't killed anyone before."
But after he finished speaking, he fell asleep on the sofa, so she just thought he was talking drunkenly.
However, Qi Lei would not take it as drunken talk.
Because they had investigated Liu Yan, they found that his resume was relatively simple, and his work experience was also simple. He had basically worked in two units. He was an ordinary person, and his days were predictable.
But this seemingly ordinary person did something extraordinary. He instigated others to kill, then he killed others to silence them, and finally he was killed himself.
Liu Yan and Yang Ye had no contact except at Feiniao Express Company.
After Yang Ye came out of prison, he has been living in his own world. He is not willing to contact outsiders and stays at home except for work.
Apart from working, Liu Yan spends most of his time drinking in bars and he doesn't have a steady woman. When he needs someone, he looks for someone from the entertainment industry. It seems that he doesn't like having anyone too close to him.
There is no grudge between the two people. It would not be Liu Yan's own intention to instigate Yang Ye to kill people. It is very likely that he was instructed by someone else.
Murder is not a minor crime. Unless there is a special temptation or someone else has evidence in their hands, one has to do it.
Therefore, what Liu Yan said when he was drunk was very likely true. It's not like he had never killed someone before, which means he had killed someone.
If someone knows the secret of his murder, they can threaten him to do something, and of course they will also give him certain benefits.
If we can find out what he has done, maybe we can find the person who threatened him and find out the real culprit behind it.
So, what they need to do is to find out the extraordinary things in his ordinary experiences, such as the missing or dead people who have appeared around him.
What Su Xiaoxiao was more interested in was the unsolved murder case that Li Yan had found out happened in Li City.
Although there are many differences between the two cases, Zhuang Hua's death was not fatal with a single knife, but more like slow slicing, while Liu Yan's death was not so painful, but the similarities are that both cases involved cutting off male organs and stuffing them into their mouths.
This method is more insulting than harmful, indicating that the murderer has a deep hatred for the victim.
She had a hunch that Zhuang Hua's case was related to Liu Yan's case, but she didn't know what the connection was.
But it doesn’t matter, you’ll know if you check.
Qi Lei had no objection to Su Xiaoxiao's idea of going to Li City. He believed in Su Xiaoxiao's judgment and just left the investigation to them.
Lishi is not close to Jingzhong, and taking a plane is the fastest way to get there.
Su Xiaoxiao and Xiaoyu bought economy class tickets, but when they got on the plane, the waiter told them that someone had upgraded their class.
When Su Xiaoxiao heard the news of the cabin upgrade, she did not feel happy. Instead, she felt like she had eaten a fly. She could guess who did it.
She received small gifts such as tea, flowers, etc. from time to time, but she endured it.
But upgrading her cabin on the plane was a bit speechless. It feels bad to be watched or monitored all the time.
What should I do? I have the urge to run over and punch him twice, then warn him, "Get away from me!"
However, I haven't figured out what he is going to do yet. Never mind, I've been promoted anyway, it would be a waste not to take the position.
Lishi seemed very far away from Jingzhong, but the flight time was only an hour and a half, so it would arrive there in the blink of an eye.
After getting off the plane, Su Xiaoxiao and Xiao Yu went directly to the Municipal Bureau.
The captain of the criminal investigation team in Li City was Qi Lei's classmate. When he heard that they were Qi Lei's subordinates, he was very enthusiastic and immediately found someone to lead them.
This person is Lao Tao, one of the criminal police officers who investigated the Zhuang Hua case that year.
Lao Tao drove a car and took them to the town where the murder took place that year.
The town has a nice name, Taohua Town.
Because there is a hillside behind the town, which is planted with peach trees. When the flowers bloom, the whole hillside seems to be covered with a pink cloud.
When the wind blows, tiny petals fly all over the sky, like a dream.
Even the small town is filled with intoxicating fragrance of flowers.
"But that was all many years ago. Now the peach forest is long gone. What a pity."
Lao Tao sighed as he introduced the place. He also heard that when he arrived in Li City ten years ago, the peach blossom forest had been abandoned and he had never seen such a magnificent sight.
"How come it's gone?" Su Xiaoxiao was very curious. She had only seen the Ten-Mile Peach Forest in movies and TV dramas, and she didn't expect that such a place really existed.
"It looks like there's a fire. The whole forest is burned."
"That's such a shame."
"That's right. I heard that more than 20 years ago, the mayor and his team wanted to use this peach forest to attract investment and turn it into a tourist attraction. However, it was too remote and no one wanted to come. The main reason was that if they wanted to build a tourist attraction, they had to build roads, which was a big project.
Later, one person did come. It was said that he agreed at the time, but changed his mind after he went back. He never came again, and the townspeople were delighted for nothing. "
Lao Tao originally worked in Taohua Town Police Station for a period of time, and was later transferred to the Municipal Bureau to do criminal investigation. When Zhuang Hua's case occurred, he had already arrived at the Municipal Bureau, and because he was from Taohua Town, he was sent to lead the team there.
However, when he got there, the scene had been completely destroyed and the police from the police station were unable to control it at all.
When he went there, some people were spitting and throwing stones at Zhuang Hua's body.
"It's just ahead." Lao Tao pointed to a silhouette shrouded in smoke.
It’s cloudy and foggy today, with low visibility. Half of the town is shrouded in smoke, giving it a feeling of an ink painting.
