"Who are you?" Before Hao Shun could speak, the middle-aged man who suddenly broke in spoke first.
Chen Xuanran breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the other party was a living person.
"We are the police from Xiaohegou Police Station." Hao Shun replied.
"From Xiaohegou?" The man was stunned for half a second: "Do you know Li Guo?"
"We know him, our director, but he has been transferred to the Kowloon branch." Hao Shun replied.
The man nodded: "My name is Fan Xiangrong. I am a comrade of your director. I used to be in the Criminal Investigation Team of the Nanwan Branch."
Hao Shun and Chen Xuanran looked at each other in shock.
"It turns out to be an old senior!" Hao Shun quickly introduced himself: "My name is Hao Shun, and she is my partner Chen Xuanran. We are here to investigate the case of the boy in red clothes fifteen years ago."
"So that's it." Fan Xiangrong nodded and said, "Actually, my purpose of coming is the same as yours."
So he began to talk about his origins in the Xingyi case.
It turns out that when the Xingyi case occurred fifteen years ago, Fan Xiangrong was the captain of the Nanwan District Criminal Investigation Team at that time, and the current captain Wu Weiguo was still his subordinate.
Fan Xiangrong concluded at the beginning that this case was not an accident, but a homicide.
Later, he left the police force due to physical reasons, but the Xingyi case has since become a knot in his mind.
So over the years, he would come back here to have a look, hoping to find any clues.
Unexpectedly, I saw Hao Shun and Chen Xuanran this time.
"Okay, you guys go to my place in the afternoon. This is my address." Fan Xiangrong said and handed Hao Shun a business card.
Hao Shun saw the signboard that said "Nanmen Caitu".
It seems that this former criminal investigation captain quit his job as a police officer and started selling rabbit meat.
"I have been researching this case for more than ten years and have found some clues. If you don't mind it, you can come to my store to find me."
After saying that, Fan Xiangrong turned and left.
Hao Shun looked at his disappearing figure and dialed Li Guo's phone number immediately.
"Uncle Li, I want to ask you about someone."
"who?"
"Fan Xiangrong."
Li Guo was also surprised when he heard the words Fan Xiangrong.
"Old Fan is a good policeman." Li Guo said: "He just likes to get into trouble, and this problem can be regarded as harming him. In fact, he did not leave the police force for any physical reasons at all, but because of that case."
Li Guo also recalled what happened during the Xingyi case.
At that time, Li Guo had just become the director of Xiaohegou Police Station. Because Gaojia Village, where the Xingyi case occurred, was within the jurisdiction of Xiaohegou, Li Guo was the first policeman to arrive at the scene of the crime.
I was also frightened at that time. After all, the death of the deceased was extremely strange, and it made people shudder at the first sight.
After he secured the scene, Fan Xiangrong also came to the scene with the staff of the criminal investigation team.
This case was so outrageous that it quickly spread and became the focus of attention across the country.
The city bureau also issued a death order and must give an explanation to the people within a short period of time.
However, after several months of investigation, the case has made no progress, and almost all suspects have been eliminated.
Due to too much pressure from above, Fan Xiangrong was unable to find the murderer, causing him to suffer from insomnia every night.
The whole case reached a dead end, so deputy director Wu Weiguo came up with another idea, that is, the conclusion that the child died accidentally.
Of course, this conclusion is not unfounded. Judging from many details at the scene, this is indeed possible.
However, this inference also has several points that are completely unjustifiable.
Fan Xiangrong has always been cautious in doing things, so this conclusion was naturally rejected by him with many years of criminal investigation experience.
For this reason, the two had several quarrels. However, no matter how hard Fan Xiangrong tried, the case still made no progress.
The murder case has not been solved for a long time, and it has become a national news. The city bureau is also very worried due to the pressure of the masses. Coupled with the daily urging from above, the entire South Bay District bureau is very angry.
Another half month passed, but there was still no effective breakthrough in the case.
So the superiors decided to adopt the accidental death theory proposed by Wu Weiguo. However, Fan Xiangrong firmly opposed it, and eventually even had a big quarrel with the director.
The final result was that the Municipal Bureau adopted Wu Weiguo's analysis and judgment, and Fan Xiangrong was so angry that he directly submitted his resignation letter.
"Lao Fan has always been a very stubborn person. This personality can be used in work, but when used in some things, it is a Achilles' heel that hinders his development."
Li Guo sighed and said, "I advise you to stay away from this case. There are too many things involved."
Li Guo's words surprised Hao Shun.
"Why?"
"Have you thought about it carefully?" Li Guo said: "The original Xingyi case was judged as an accident by the criminal investigation team leader Wu Weiguo. If the murderer of this case is the same person as the previous Xingyi case.
Does the fact that you have solved this case mean that the conclusion released by the city bureau to the public was wrong? In other words, you are slapping the city bureau in the face! "
Li Guo's words made Hao Shun stunned on the spot.
Li Guo continued: "The things involved in this case are very complicated, even if Wu Weiguo is holding it now, it is a hot potato.
Think about it, if he finds out the murderer, it means he was wrong in the first place. If he can't find out, and the case continues to be closed as an accidental death, do you think the people will recognize it this time?
Even if he found out that the deceased was deliberately imitating the previous case, the people would not buy it and would only scold him for being incompetent.
Today's Internet environment is no different than it was back then. If the conclusion is drawn that there was an accidental death, then the biggest doubt of the year will be raised again.
Because one person simply cannot complete that complicated binding method, Wu Weiguo has no way to explain this.
Therefore, whether this case is solved or not is a very severe test for Wu Weiguo, and it is also a hurdle that he has to overcome. "
"That's why you asked me to try not to get involved?" Hao Shun finally understood after hearing this.
"This case is too special. You should think about it yourself." After Li Guo finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Because Hao Shun opened the speakerphone, Chen Xuanran on the side could hear Li Guo's words clearly.
"Then shall we investigate?" Chen Xuanran asked Hao Shun.
Hao Shun thought for a while: "Why not investigate? We are the police, and it is our duty to find the truth. Anyway, I am not afraid of offending that Wu Weiguo. It doesn't matter. We still have to investigate."
"I think you just hold grudges because he didn't shake hands with you before, right?" Chen Xuanran smiled.
"It's okay if you understand it this way, so don't offend me." Hao Shun chuckled:
"If you dare to offend me, I will marry you and let you be my cow and horse for the rest of your life, hahaha!"
"Here we go again, you are already a policeman. Can you please stop talking like a gangster." Chen Xuanran curled his lips.
"I am a gangster to begin with. Am I proud? Am I proud? Since you think I am a gangster, am I not polite?"
Hao Shun stretched out his two paws while smiling lewdly.
However, the expression on Chen Xuanran's face suddenly changed. She opened her eyes wide and looked in the direction of Hao Shun's head in horror.
"You——behind you..." Chen Xuanran pointed tremblingly behind Hao Shun.
