"Meng Shanshan was a very good child in all aspects, with top-notch grades and a science student. She took the college entrance examination a few days before her death, but the results were not released until after her death. She got a perfect score in mathematics. So her teacher tried to contact her and wanted to use her results. She did publicity, but failed to get in touch, so she gave it up - her father had died long ago. And her mother was just a cleaner. She was so sad and anxious about her death that she had no time to worry about too much, and she was not in the mood to face her daughter's teacher. So far, she has not paid off the debt left by her husband.”
"I'm more concerned about his father's case." Jiang Qiu hinted.
Liang An shook his head, "There are no details you want in the case file, but I can take you to meet the person handling the case. Let me verify a guess first and make some preparations before Ma Jun wakes up."
They came to the high-end apartment again, Ma Jun's parents' home, and the residence of the famous entrepreneur Ma Cheng.
Liang An walked in front, and Jiang Qiu followed him, but was a little absent-minded. Liang An noticed his eyes drifting towards him from time to time.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually..." Jiang Qiu considered his words, "Ma Cheng should 'know' me."
Liang An stopped, his expression gradually changed from relaxed to serious, and he looked at him.
"Ma Cheng is also related to your father?"
Jiang Qiu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at.
"In the hospital before, he didn't notice me at first because of his condition. But when he left, he was a little surprised when he saw my face."
"That's it? When will you care more about yourself?" Liang An was happy, "Then you are worried that he will tell Jiang Zhuo that I brought you here?"
Although Jiang Qiu was still a little hesitant, he shook his head, "No, they probably don't have a close relationship. I have indeed never met him before. But I can't rule out that during this period... I don't know if anything else happened during this period. thing."
"I mean, you don't have to tie yourself up for this kind of thing." Liang An patted his shoulder and comforted, "Even he can't do anything to me."
Jiang Qiu glanced at him with an unspeakable contradictory expression. This was perhaps the most vivid and tangled emotion he had shown during this period.
"We're on the right track." Liang An didn't know what he had to say with confidence, "That's just right. Let's test it with your face to see if it's true."
"You dare to say..."
Jiang Qiu didn't know where he borrowed the courage and confidence. After not seeing each other for a long time, his words became increasingly outrageous.
His strange behavior today is even more puzzling.
"What are you going to do?"
He was really afraid that this police officer who didn't know why he had let himself go would reveal all his details on impulse.
"You can do whatever you think I will do. It's business as usual. Now you are Police Officer Xiao Jiang," Liang An didn't mean to be joking at all. "So now I am your assistant." He handed the information to Jiang Qiu, That was the first version of the closing report of the entire case involving Ma Jun as the murderer. It was a copy and was only used as a reference.
"I have never been your assistant." Jiang Qiu's focus was not on this. He was pushed to the door by Liang An and frowned.
"If you say it's not, then it's not." Liang An responded familiarly and pressed the doorbell of Ma Cheng's house for him.
The door opened.
"Mr. Ma." Jiang Qiu's whole temperament seemed to have changed. He nodded slightly, sighed, as if he had accepted his fate, and began to perform dedicatedly, "I'm sorry, we are here to tell you about Ma Jun. of."
Ma Cheng was the only one at home, and he didn't look strange. He was calmer than when he was in the hospital, and he was no longer in a slightly depressed mood at that time. Perhaps it was indeed because Ma Cheng's condition improved that he had such subtle changes.
Seeing Jiang Qiu, he was not as surprised as he said before, or maybe he had restrained his emotions, which was the same as how he didn't show too much worry at the beginning after being prepared to see the police in the hospital. A reason.
"We heard that Ma Jun sees a psychiatrist regularly. Are you aware of this?"
"Yes," Ma Cheng nodded, "He does have some psychological problems, otherwise I would not have allowed him to complete his studies. Of course, this is also his own choice. After all, there are hidden dangers, and he is also afraid of hurting other people. Causing harm is not just a matter of losing face. I don’t know the specific condition of the disease at the moment, but you can wait until he wakes up and ask him - I know about Dr. Tong, he will not expose the patient without his permission. Private."
Jiang Qiu also seemed to understand, casually flipping through the information in his hand, and looked at it a few more times in front of Ma Cheng. After nearly twenty seconds, he seemed to have suddenly discovered something, and then he reacted and looked up. Got his head up.
"Then how did you know about his condition?" He seemed a little confused at the right time. "In other words, when did you first learn about this matter, and what were the triggers? How did you become suspicious?"
The series of questions did not interrupt Ma Cheng's calm response, but made him smile bitterly, making it difficult to see the meaning and without any flaws.
"Actually, I didn't think he was any different from ordinary children at first." He said with emotion like an ordinary parent, "His grades are very good. We have an eldest daughter in the family, and she is better than him, so This is not outstanding. But we have not ignored his growth. It is just that many of the small things he does in daily life are no different from those of naughty children in our opinion, such as occasional violence and moodiness. When accumulated over and over again, they become more prominent - this That aroused our vigilance.
At the beginning, we were just vigilant. We are not experts. We cannot think that he must be locked up because of a little personality problem. We can only think about changing him subtly. Later, however, some losses were caused. "
Jiang Qiu still looked into his eyes. He seemed really sincere, even the guilt in his eyes was just right.
"He was fighting with people at school. In our family, the tutor never allowed any level of fighting. Later, I thought it was something wrong with my education, but when I asked about it, he said that at that time He didn’t know what was going on with him, and he didn’t want to do it, but he couldn’t control himself—and that’s what really worried me.
I took him to see a psychiatrist and discovered his problem. At that time, he happened to graduate from high school and was about to enter campus alone. I was faced with a choice, the entanglement and choice between his future and danger, but I still decided after discussing with him to let him live alone outside. until his illness is completely cured. "
Jiang Qiu blinked and stopped moving his hands.
"Since you were the doctor who took him to see him, why don't you know his condition?"
Ma Cheng waved his hand, "That's what I said at the time. After that, he separated from us, and I didn't interfere too much with his treatment. I do hope he recovers soon, but too much interference will only make him sad." There was also a very important reason why he moved out at that time, because when he was in the pain of discovering his illness, he accidentally injured his sister - you may think that she is very cold and does not like her brother, but this is also true. Can be forgiven.
He was afraid to go home, not only because of his low self-esteem, but also because he was afraid of hurting his family. In fact, I have surveillance video of him at home these past few months. If you have been to his apartment, you may have seen cameras installed in every corner - I sent people to install them, and he knows about them. Living alone, I am always worried about him, after all, he has a mental illness. But the surveillance was disconnected a few days ago. Based on his temper, I think it should be removed. "
To be fair, there is really nothing wrong with the description of his mental journey.
Liang An looked at Jiang Qiu's side face. No need to remind him, he should know what to do next.
"Then you know, is there anyone who hates him or wants to kill him?" Before he could reply, he quickly added the second sentence, "I think you also have some doubts about the previous case. We I suspect that someone may have deliberately murdered him to cause such an accident. I think if it is not stopped, if this happens again, it may be irreversible."
It was neither clear that there was a murder, nor that it must have been suicide. Jiang Qiu didn't want to get an answer, but just wanted to tell some facts.
"Perhaps, is there anyone else who had resentment towards him before he left home?"
Liang An has indeed never seen such a talkative Dr. Jiang. Seeing this situation, he is still a little novel. He even puts aside some anxiety and wants to watch for a while.
"I'm sorry." Ma Cheng shook his head. Obviously, he wanted to stick to hard and soft food.
Jiang Qiu turned around and looked in Liang An's direction, and the two looked at each other for a moment.
Without any basic events or evidence, it is obviously empty talk to ask a person to tell something that he has concealed for a long time. But their goal is not here, just to seize a flaw.
All this is just to verify a guess, not just another test that can even be said to be a temporary decision.
But they currently have a decisive trump card.
This is something Jiang Qiu cannot and does not want to go beyond. Liang An understood what he meant, so he personally sat across from Ma Cheng.
"Mr. Ma, I think you should take a look at this." He handed over the information he had just taken out.
Ma Cheng turned over. I looked at it for a long time.
His expression remained unchanged, but his eyes stayed on the last page for a long time.
Liang An remembered that what was written on that page was his judgment.
This was the only part that had been changed after he finished it before printing it. A lot of consideration has been added to the subjective assumptions written below. There are even some not-so-relevant ones included.
"What do you think?" His expression was quite calm, as if he was just handing a blank piece of paper to Boss Ma across from him, without any grudge or scheming.
Ma Cheng looked at him.
"I just want to say that there may be room for maneuver in everything. We have no malicious intentions, we just want to discover some 'truths'. Once we know, we will never get involved."
He said the last two words very slowly, as if they meant something else.
Ma Cheng looked at him deeply, then stopped at Jiang Qiu, and then turned back.
Jiang Qiu had been paying attention to his expression, but didn't notice any changes beyond his line of sight. It seemed that he was really just interested, happened to catch a glimpse of him while buffering, and took a look at him. It doesn't seem to be intentional
"It didn't happen on campus, but it wasn't very different. It was a gangster in society who was desperate and stole on the bus. After being discovered by Xiaojun, there was a conflict. After getting off the bus, the man followed him. He wanted revenge in an alley, but was overpowered instead. But after that, he didn't stop."
Ma Cheng narrated softly, as if he was personally there, and as if he had confirmed it with the person involved many times, so he was as familiar with the matter as his own skin. "The result was just as you imagined, that person was seriously injured. I can give you his address now. To settle the matter, I gave him a job and a large sum of money. He is still in the job, and I think he can be used as a witness. In addition to this, I have this All the videos of his illness over the past few years. Dr. Tong can also provide proof."
"How much of what Ma Cheng said is true?"
Liang An turned around and glanced at him, "What do you think?"
"If it was just a matter of hurting someone and it was private, Ma Jun would have no reason to commit the crime a second time. He has no weaknesses. But the most fundamental thing is that you don't care whether what he told is the complete truth."
"When something is destined to not have a complete solution, you can only choose the path that will benefit you more. Just like Ma Cheng, he knew that we couldn't find out what he had been hiding for nearly ten years, and he could even forge it. He must reveal another way out. But he still has to speak and leave a little clue, because it is related to the interests of his son." Liang An sighed, "Meng Shanshan is dead, and Li Liejun will most likely be involved. Even His strangeness over the years may have been entirely due to that girl - then it is not difficult to explain why he took a kitchen knife to defend himself, but actually did not do it. First of all, he must have a guilty conscience, and secondly, he expected someone to kill him, But the person who appeared at the door was not the one he expected, so he did not take action. If he had killed Meng Shanshan to some extent, it would not be difficult to explain."
"If so, this person's thinking is not very materialistic."
Liang An smiled.
"As long as the person making the choice exists in this world, the choice of the object must have its logic. Even seemingly unrelated chains still follow this law. As a murderer, Ma Jun's methods are quite perfect. I just I saw the possibility of overlap in Ma Jun. Next, how was the third section of the chain found, and what does it look like?"
"I have somewhat changed my opinion of you. You have indeed changed a lot." Jiang Qiu suddenly sighed again and said.
Liang An looked back, calmly as if he didn't agree at all: "Have I not always been like this?"
The devil almost believed what he said - and he didn't know whose voice it was.
