Under Yu Huo's suggestion, Liu Tie put aside his previous prejudices against these charlatans. These subtle changes in attitude depended on his complex assessment of the case.
Because before this, Liu Tie had always believed that in order to solve the case, what was important was real evidence, rather than the metaphysical deceptions in the world of using people's money to eliminate disasters for others. But since the living corpse came out of the cage, if Xu Maochun hadn't mobilized civil forces, he would How could the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade sit back and relax until now?
It is said that existence is reasonable. Since these folk Feng Shui masters can develop to the present, and the momentum of development is gradually increasing, it shows that it is not as one-sided as it was characterized as a scam in the past.
"By the way, Uncle Lai, regarding the case of the eldest lady of the Tang family, I checked the previous files. The reason why the case has not been closed so far is related to the missing Yu Huo, that is, the man that the second lady was guarding. In Yu Huo, there is no The police will not close the case until it is classified as death, I hope you can understand."
Tang Ruoya's case has been unresolved since the police filed the case, not because the police deliberately delayed it, but because there were too many conclusions that were difficult to draw. After the file was sealed, and because of the change of police officers, the case has been shelved to this day. As time goes by, it naturally becomes an unsolved case.
Liu Tie is a person who pursues perfection. Since he was transferred from the grassroots to the city bureau, he has read through a lot of unsolved cases. The more difficult and complicated the case, the more it arouses his desire to solve the case. and fighting spirit.
Only the case of Tang Ruoya made him unable to start because the case was too complicated at the time. Too many changes happened to the Tang family at that time, which not only devastated the Tang family, but also confused the police.
First Tang Ruoya committed suicide, then the corpse was faked and haunted, then Tang Daoyi disappeared, then Tang Ruoxi disappeared, then Yu Huo disappeared, and finally Tang Ruoxi returned to the Tang family safe and sound, while the others were nowhere to be found again.
No TV series would dare to write such a complicated plot, not to mention that it would be extremely difficult for the police to solve the case as soon as possible.
Moreover, the situation at that time was that the police were like headless flies, without any clues to investigate, and there was no way to start.
The Jianghai police at the time were under tremendous pressure from public opinion, but as time went by, it seemed that these unheard-of changes had occurred in the Tang family and they slowly faded out of the public eye.
But for the Jianghai police, this case has always been like a sharp sword hanging above their heads. If the case is not solved, the sword cannot be taken off. This kind of suffering is unbearable for anyone.
Liu Tie has an excellent psychological quality, but he has always been worried about this case, because when he was looking through the long-dusted files, he found some subtle clues that could have been followed.
But because we did not follow up in time at that time, it has become a regret today. Today, these clues are obviously unrealistic and there is no need to follow them.
Liu Tie's sudden explanation made Yu Huo sigh with emotion. Yu Huo was the one who witnessed it. If the Ming Lantern had not been stolen, he would not have been sacrificed to the spirit woman and reduced to the status of a 'ghost' today.
It is said that life is impermanent and events are unpredictable. At first, Yu Huo would not have thought that his courage would allow him to perform such a feat as a sacrifice.
However, looking at it now, everything he paid was worth it, at least he got Tang Ruoxi's love.
Now, he can still stay with his beloved day and night, even though Tang Ruoxi doesn't know his true identity, such a beautiful thing is of no use.
"Captain Liu, I've asked you to worry. I think the eldest lady can also get some comfort from the spring."
Facing Liu Tie's attentive explanation, Yu Huo could only speak politely in Song Fulai's tone.
After Liu Tie finished speaking, he stood up and patted the cigarette ashes on his body. Before leaving, when he entered the study room, he stopped on the bookshelf, pulled out a book and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Tang to like to read this kind of book." If you don't mind, can you lend me the book for a few days?"
The book Liu Tie pulled out from the bookshelf is called "The Disappearing Me". It is a suspenseful mystery novel. Although it is a novel, it is written with documentary techniques.
There are too many opinions about the author of this book. Some say it is a collection of mysteries collected through forums, while others say it is a piece of fast food literature deliberately fabricated by online novels for the purpose of obscenity.
Of course, the most reliable theory is that the author came out of the police force, but because he was afraid of becoming a public figure, he used the pseudonym of Ami. As for who this Ami is, no one knows.
Why, this explanation is the most reasonable, because there are too many jargons between the lines in the book, especially some professional terms used by the police to solve cases, such as impossible crime, alibi, murder motive, etc., and indiscriminate killing. , Swap Kills , Bolston and the like.
As for the more professional ones, there are also things like throwing your head far away and keeping you close, etc., which make people confused, let alone know what they mean.
The reason why Liu Tie pays special attention to this book is because it records a murderer who staged a golden cicada's escape method in which he built a plank road openly and concealed himself. He used the victim himself to successfully get rid of his own suspicion, and ultimately disgraced the police. story.
This story is not new, but such a book becomes interesting when placed on the bookshelf of Tang Daoyi's study.
Because, in Liu Tie's view, Tang Daoyi's disappearance was not as lightly recorded in the files. It was just as simple as a disappearance. There must be a conspiracy behind it.
Or, you can make a bolder guess, is Tang Daoyi's disappearance a cover-up trick that he wrote, directed and acted, like a silent mist?
Before that, when I was cleaning Tang Daoyi's study, I had the same feeling. What is the connection between Tang Daoyi's sudden disappearance and this book?
Liu Tie's attention made Yu Huo more and more determined that there must be something wrong with this book.
In other words, as long as you find the flaws in this book, you can know whether Tang Daoyi disappeared in the first place or whether he disappeared deliberately.
"It's just a book. I can help Master Thief make the decision. Captain Liu, you can just take it and read it as long as you finish reading it and return it to Master Thief on time."
Yu Huo always spoke in Song Fulai's tone. It seemed that Liu Tie did not see the flaw in Yu Huo's possession because of some inadequate details.
After all, the human body's naked eyes are no match for demons, ghosts, and monsters, especially in the face of these, which are beyond ordinary people's means and abilities, and are completely helpless.
With Yu Huo's approval, Liu Tie took the book away without ceremony.
However, Liu Tie did not really want to read this book, but wanted to find out Tang Daoyi's state of mind when he read the book, and thus find the flaw in Tang Daoyi's disappearance.
After seeing off Liu Tie, Tang Ruoxi came in from the door, a little curious, but more worried about Tang Daoyi's safety.
From Tang Ruoxi's eyes, we can see how much she misses Tang Daoyi, but as the leader of Tanghuo Shares and the backbone of the Tang family, she can only forcefully hide this unforgettable emotion.
"Uncle Lai, tell me, is my grandfather's disappearance really related to this book as Liu Tie said?"
As for the truth about Tang Daoyi's disappearance, as long as there is any hint of trouble, he knows that it is impossible, but Tang Ruoxi is unwilling to give up any chance to find Tang Daoyi's whereabouts.
Seeing that Tang Ruoxi hoped to get a positive answer from her own mouth, Yu Huo couldn't bear to distract her, and then comforted her and said: "The pirates have their own destiny, as long as there is no news, it is good news. Captain Liu also said it today , the police have concluded that Master Thief is missing, not dead, which means that Master Thief may still be alive until the police close the coffin."
"hope so."
A hint of melancholy and sadness flashed in Tang Ruoxi's eyes, which made Yu Huo's heart bleed like a knife. However, the time had not come yet, and Yu Huo could not reveal his identity to avoid causing trouble to Tang Ruoxi.
"By the way, Uncle Lai, Liu Tie is looking for you. Is it nothing serious?"
"I'm just helping him answer his questions. I'll be fine, and it won't involve Tanghuo shares. Don't worry, Miss Second."
Yu Huo found a random reason and sent Tang Ruoxi away so that Tang Ruoxi wouldn't have to worry about her own affairs. After all, Tang Ruoxi, a woman, had to bear pressure that she shouldn't have to bear.
Yu Huo, staying by Tang Ruoxi's side, naturally wants to solve the problems of the loved one. He does not want Tang Ruoxi to be wronged in the slightest, let alone any harm to her.
Knowing that Yu Huo was fine, Tang Ruoxi completely relaxed and said, "Uncle Lai, we have a family dinner tonight, get off work early, and let's go back together later."
In order to improve the deep-rooted grievances within the Tang family, Tang Ruoxi organizes family dinners from time to time to connect the family. The purpose is to resolve the grievances accumulated by the previous generation.
Although Yu Huo had never attended a family banquet of the Tang family before, he was still looking forward to it. After all, all members of the Tang family would be present, so he would naturally be able to clearly see the internal situation of the Tang family.
"By the way, Second Miss, you know that there is a book called The Disappearing Me in Master Thief's study. Have you read it?"
Regarding the information about this book, Song Fulai did not pass on any information about this book before possessing it, so the origin of this book and Tang Daoyi’s purpose for this book are not clear. I hope to learn from it. Tang Ruoxi got more useful information from her mouth.
When Yu Huo mentioned this book, Tang Ruoxi's body trembled unnaturally. She seemed to know the origin of this book, and then said: "The book that the police took away just now was given to him by a friend of my grandfather. , As for the content of that book, before my grandfather disappeared, he rarely let me enter his study. Later, my grandfather disappeared, and I was busy with the company, so I didn’t have time to read it. I don’t know what was written in the book. clear."
Tang Ruoxi explained everything she knew and didn't know in one breath. It seemed that she had only a partial understanding of the situation of this book.
"Then... do you know who the friend who sent the book to Master Thief is?"
