"What's the girl's name?" Han Cheng asked.
His intuition told him that this matter might not be as simple as Aunt Cheng Lai said.
"What's the name? It seems to be Fang Yinglian, yes! That's the name. She comes from Fangjia Village next door to us."
"When Fang Yinglian and the wild man just ran away, the Fang family came to our place to make trouble, and they even made bloody remarks, saying that we, Cheng Lai, killed their daughter!"
"Who would believe what you say?"
After Aunt Cheng Lai finished speaking, she suddenly felt that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and quickly said to Han Cheng, "Comrade reporter, please stop broadcasting the few words I just said! Cheng Lai is now the deputy director after all, I I’m afraid it will have a bad impact on him if it’s broadcast!”
"Don't worry, we won't broadcast this episode!"
Han Cheng smiled, but in his heart he became suspicious of Fang Yinglian's disappearance.
.........
After "interviewing" Cheng Lai's relatives.
Han Cheng and the others moved to Fangjia Village and came to Fang Yinglian's home.
Han Cheng still lied that they were from the TV station.
The other party's family said that after they heard about Fang Yinglian's disappearance, they wanted to conduct an exclusive interview to help the Fang family find Fang Yinglian.
After the Fang family members learned about Han Cheng's intention, everyone looked sad!
"Comrade reporters, thank you for coming. You must help us expose the murderer Cheng Lai and let him pay with blood!" Fang Yinglian's parents knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
Han Cheng helped Fang's father and Fang's mother up and comforted him: "Two old people, you get up first. If you have any grievances, tell us slowly! We will help whatever we can!"
After helping Fang's father and Fang's mother up, Han Cheng asked: "Old man, why are you so sure that Cheng Lai killed your daughter? Is there any evidence?"
"If there was evidence, we would have called the police to arrest that beast! I know very well what kind of person my daughter is. She is definitely not that frivolous person, otherwise she would not have waited for that beast Cheng Lai for five years!"
"It's a pity that he met a heartless man and lost his life!"
Fang Yinglian's mother sobbed.
"How did Fang Yinglian disappear back then?" Han Cheng then asked.
Mother Fang stopped sobbing and said.
"Back then, after Yinglian went to Hong County with that beast, she lived with him, and then she found a job as a waiter in a restaurant in Hong County!"
"During that time, Yinglian would call home every three or four days to ensure she was safe. Later, she didn't call home for half a month. At that time, we thought she was busy with work, so we took the initiative to call her. I called, but I couldn’t get through!”
"We thought something might have happened to her at that time, and then we went to Hong County to look for her. Unexpectedly, the beast said that he and Yinglian had broken up long ago, and Yinglian ran away to another province with a wild man."
"Of course we wouldn't believe that beast's nonsense, so we went to the restaurant where Yinglian worked and asked the restaurant owner."
"The hotel owner said that he did receive a text message from Yinglian about her resignation. In the text message, Yinglian said that she was resigning and going to develop elsewhere and would never come back!"
"We thought it was strange at the time. Even if Yinglian was going to another place, there was no way she would leave without telling us!"
"We suspected at that time whether that beast Cheng Lai abducted or killed my daughter! But there is nothing we can do against him without proof!"
"The next few years have passed! There is still no news about Yinglian, so we are even more certain that Yinglian was killed by that beast back then!"
"We originally wanted to ask that beast for an explanation, but that beast became more and more powerful, and the people in Chengcun supported him. As ordinary people, we couldn't fight him, so we could only swallow our anger and watch that beast go unpunished! "
After Mother Fang finished speaking, her eyes flashed with anger.
"Comrade reporters, you must help us expose that beast's crimes and seek justice for Yinglian!"
Fang's mother and father Fang knelt down again to beg Han Cheng.
.........
After leaving Fangjiacun and returning to Hong County Police Station, everyone in the investigation team felt heavy.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, everyone thinks that Fang Yinglian was most likely killed by the old fox Cheng Lai.
"Han Cheng, which direction should we check next?" Muyan asked.
"Let's check Fang Yinglian's case first. This should be Cheng Lai's first murder. He shouldn't be able to be as calm and calm as in the ancient tomb murder case! If Fang Yinglian's body can be found, maybe we can find more clues!"
Han Cheng pondered for a moment and said.
In fact, on the way back from Fangjiacun, he already had two people in mind that he wanted to inquire about in detail. The first was the restaurant owner, and the second was Cheng Lai's second uncle.
When Fang Yinglian disappeared that year, the hotel owner should have been the first to notice. After all, he had to find out what was going on when his employees didn't come to work.
Therefore, the restaurant owner should know more about the inside story than Fang Yinglian's parents.
As for Cheng Lai's second uncle, Han Cheng always felt that Cheng Lai's second uncle knew something. If Cheng Lai's second aunt hadn't been there, he might have told more things about Cheng Lai.
Han Cheng decided to ask the hotel owner first.
So Han Cheng and Mu Yan came to the restaurant where Fang Yinglian's parents said that Fang Yinglian once worked.
Fortunately, the restaurant is still there, but the original owner, Lao Chen, has been replaced by Lao Chen's son.
After Han and Cheng revealed their identities.
Lao Chen's son took Han Cheng back home to meet Lao Chen.
Han Cheng and the two explained their intention.
Old Chen touched his forehead, thought for a while, and said, "Speaking of Fang Yinglian, I still have some impressions!"
"She has been working in my hotel for about half a year! She gave me the impression that she is an honest and honest rural woman!"
"What was the situation like on the day Fang Yinglian disappeared?" Muyan asked.
"I remember that morning, Fang Yinglian didn't come to work, so I called her, but no one answered the call."
"When the lunch shop is closed, I will go to where she lives and ask her what she is doing."
"Unexpectedly, halfway through, I received a text message from Fang Yinglian. The text message probably said that her boyfriend had gone to another province to work, and she was going to resign and go elsewhere!"
"Don't you think her behavior is a little abnormal?" Han Cheng asked.
"I did feel that it was abnormal at the time. I never saw her mention going to other provinces, but it was a private matter and I couldn't ask more. However, she still has more than a month's salary and I haven't paid her yet."
"So I called her back on the spot, asking her to come over and collect her salary when she was free, but her phone number couldn't be reached again! I simply ignored her! Why don't I chase people after they don't want money? ?”
"Did you see Fang Yinglian again later?" Mu Yan then asked.
"No! I have met her boyfriend who works at the Cultural Relics Bureau!"
"Oh? Please tell me in detail!" Han Cheng became more alert.
"On the day Fang Yinglian disappeared, I walked to find her. After receiving a text message from Fang Yinglian on the way, I walked back. On the way back, I met Fang Yinglian's boyfriend, who passed by on a motorcycle pulling something!"
"I was a little curious at the time. Fang Yinglian clearly said in the text message that her boyfriend had gone to work elsewhere, but why was he still in Hong County?"
