Two days and two nights had passed since they entered the Gale Cave to look for Qin Renqian's body and then were rescued from the Anjiang River.
During this time, they were completely isolated from the outside world.
Fortunately, when they first entered, Team Qiao arranged for people to seal off the wind tunnel. At the same time, they also appeased the local villagers and sealed the news that Qin Renqian's body was missing. According to Lin Yi's instructions, before entering the coffin mountain, After making a phone call to his subordinates to arrange everything, there was no big mess.
Everyone thought that after a series of encounters in the underground palace, this case could basically be brought to an end.
Unexpectedly, there was another person who committed the crime, which once again made everyone's hearts hanging.
As soon as the boat docked, several people immediately divided into three groups. Team Qiao rushed to the local police station in Kaili to learn about the situation.
Qin Renjie was taken directly to the hospital by ambulance for further treatment.
Lin Yi and others went to a local hotel to rest for the time being.
After returning to the hotel, I took a shower and changed clothes, but no one wanted to step out of the room.
Wang Qiang smoked one cigarette after another, while Qian Sheng paced back and forth in the room.
Bai Lu sat on the bay window and looked out the window, looking completely absent-minded.
Lin Yi was holding a cigarette and sinking into the sofa, not even looking at the fragment taken out of Wu Sangui's coffin.
"Tell me, why are there other people involved in this matter? Are we being coaxed by that old bitch Yang Jinqiao? This matter was not done by little Amei at all. We were all fooled?"
Wang Qiang kept mumbling these contents back and forth.
"Brother Qiang, let's stop nagging. My ears are almost calloused. Captain Qiao asked us to wait for the call. We'd better just wait for the call honestly. Don't make blind guesses."
"No, we have to find Captain Qiao quickly to find out, otherwise I will..."
Suddenly, the phone in Lin Yi's hand rang. It was Captain Qiao.
The four people immediately regained their energy, and they all gathered together to listen to the contents of Captain Qiao's phone call with bated breath.
"Consultant Lin, we have found out that the person who committed the crime is a young man named You Shengfu. His ancestral home is Kaili and he is from the Southern Miao ethnic group. He works as a waiter in the hotel where you are staying."
Speaking of this, Captain Qiao paused and added:
"He and Wanya are from the same hometown and grew up together. According to his confession, he once pursued Wanya."
After hearing this, except for Wang Qiang, the other three people at the scene basically understood what was going on.
If Wanya and Qin Renqian are like moths rushing to the flame, then this You Shengfu is the supporting actor in this tragic story.
Lin Yi turned on the speaker phone, put it at hand, lit another cigarette, and stood at the window.
Bai Lu rubbed her temples, turned around and sat back on the bay window.
Qian Sheng picked up the instant noodles and started sucking them.
After Captain Qiao briefly stated the case to them, he hung up the phone.
Wang Qiang finally realized this and reached out to pat his forehead.
"Co-author, this guy named You, is he a licking dog?"
Qian Sheng almost spit noodles out of his nostrils when he heard this.
"You only heard it when I co-wrote it?"
Wang Qiang looked at them with surprise.
"What, you guys have heard it a long time ago?"
Lin Yi shook his head helplessly and blew out smoke.
"As a senior dog licker, I think you should have reacted long ago, and you still use Captain Qiao to make it clear?"
"Who is a dog licker? Who the hell is a dog licker?"
"How about I take a screenshot of the chat you sent me and send it to you in the group?"
Wang Qiang panicked when he heard that Lin Yi was going to post the picture.
"What screenshot? Why do you still keep it if you haven't changed your phone? Hey, this noodle is all lumpy. Eat it quickly. I've been hungry for a long time."
"I seem to hear something taking a screenshot? What is it?"
Bai Lu got down from the bay window and walked between them.
"No, no, no, no, I heard Lao Lin talking nonsense. There are no screenshots. Let's eat noodles. They're all cold. Here, add a braised egg and eat on the side. Let's go, let's go!"
Wang Qiang pushed Bai Lu back to the bay window.
"It's miserable to lick a dog, lick a dog, lick a dog, until you have nothing left in the end! This is a bloody lesson!"
Nothing happened in the case. Lin Yi was in a good mood at the moment, blowing smoke rings leisurely and sighing with emotion.
"Old Lin, don't criticize Sang and Huai."
"Who accused Sang of scolding Huai? I've seen people picking up money, but I've never seen people picking up money and scolding them. I'm talking about criminals. Why are you so anxious?"
"Brother, is the screenshot you just mentioned true or false?"
"Eat your food and stop asking about this matter. Alas, Lao Lin, what is the lock screen password of your mobile phone?"
This unsolved case has finally come to light, and Team Qiao and the others can finally make their case, but the details of this case can only be blurred to avoid causing panic.
Qin Renqian's empty coffin was finally nailed back and stored in the wind tunnel.
As for the collapsed coffin mountain and the mysterious underground palace under the coffin mountain, it will be left to the local cultural preservation department to take over the continued excavation.
Lin Yi also gave them some very important advice.
Qin Renjie's left leg was fractured. The local hospital had treated it and put a plaster on it. He stayed in the hospital for a few days and was successfully discharged.
What the locals were most worried about has not happened. The Qin family's investment in the power plant will not be cancelled, and Qin Renjie's promise to build a local school will be fulfilled in time.
In his words, it was considered as a way to accumulate virtue for the descendants of the Qin family.
Lin Yi returned the last check to them. After all, this matter was not completed successfully in the end, and Qin Renqian himself was not able to rest in peace.
But Qin Renjie insisted on letting them accept it and could not refuse.
After discussing with his brothers, Lin Yi decided to keep the money in Qiandongnan and use it in the form of scholarships to support local children to complete their studies until they graduate from college.
Before leaving, everyone got together again and had a meal. During the dinner, Qin Renjie said that he would continue to stay in Qianzhou during this period and watch the project be fully implemented before returning to Xiangjiang.
After this meal, Team Qiao has to rush back to Guishan to handle other cases.
He was here on temporary secondment, and there were a lot of things waiting for him to deal with at his job.
During this meal, everyone except Bai Lu drank a lot.
When I listened to Team Qiao's review of the case, I learned that in this case, only Assistant Hui died at the hands of Wanya and You Shengfu, or they could add Qin Renqian and Assistant Huang who died accidentally in the underground palace.
The only exception is Luo Kun.
According to You Shengfu's confession, he was indeed one of their targets, but the appearance of Lin Yi and others disrupted the previously planned plan.
In other words, Luo Kun was simply seeking his own death. He was obviously a patient with high blood pressure. After playing mahjong all night, he went to have a morning drink, causing a cerebral hemorrhage. He is still lying in the hospital.
Upon hearing this result, everyone put down their cups in tacit agreement and started drinking drinks instead.
After this meal, the trip to Qianzhou officially came to an end. They bid farewell to Team Qiao and Qin Renjie, and the group drove north and returned to Beijing. (End of chapter)
