Chapter 129: Chapter 129

Li Jian sat in the passenger seat, looking around before pointing to the farm-style inn on the right.

"Let’s start with this one."

Wan turned the steering wheel, and the police car made a right turn onto the cement path.

The vehicle stopped at the entrance of "Zhang’s Mansion" farm-style inn.

10:30 in the morning.

The inn had just opened.

The two stood at the entrance, seeing a middle-aged man cleaning the courtyard.

Li Jian raised his hand and knocked on the door.

The man heard and turned around, smiling as he walked over briskly.

"Are you here to fish or play cards?"

Just as he finished speaking, Wan showed his police officer’s badge.

"Police! We’re here to investigate a case."

"This is our criminal investigation team leader, Mr. Li."

A hint of surprise appeared on the man’s face.

Immediately, Li Jian and Wan walked into the courtyard.

Looking around, Li Jian saw a large fish pond in front of the courtyard.

Near the pond’s edge, there were about a dozen fishing platforms.

"Please have a seat, both of you!"

The owner brought over two chairs.

Once seated, Li Jian gave Wan a look.

Wan immediately understood.

He quickly retrieved two photos from his briefcase.

"Do you recognize these two people?"

The man took the photos, examining them closely.

He shook his head and said, "I don’t have any recollection!"

Wan prompted, "Please think carefully again, whether you saw them three months ago."

The man across sank into deep thought once more.

"I’m really sorry, officers!"

"I truly have no recollection."

He handed the photos back to Wan.

Then, Li Jian asked, "What kind of people usually come to this inn?"

"There are business owners and regular employees; mainly people come here to fish, play cards, and relax."

"Are there workers from construction sites?"

The man answered, "Yes!"

"Jiangcheng has been developing and constructing these two years, many workers from construction sites come here to fish."

The man added, "Many of them wear work clothes from the site, so they stand out to me."

He pointed to the surveillance at the entrance, asking, "How long do you keep your surveillance data?"

"This surveillance records continuously, with later footage overwriting the earlier ones."

"When it was installed, the storage chosen was small, not storing more than a month’s footage."

Li Jian stood up, saying, "Thank you for your cooperation!"

Soon after, the two left, driving to the next inn - Country Taste.

Li Jian and Wan arrived at the entrance.

Looking around, they saw this inn had relatively simple decor.

Unlike the previous inn’s style, the ground still maintained its red clay.

Only a stone path was laid over the soil.

Even the fish pond in the courtyard was not specially modified.

Nearby fishing platforms only had a sunshade and benches.

Chen He led the team to Chen Feng’s old home in Sanqing Village.

With the village chief leading them, they quickly found Wu Juan.

Upon meeting, Chen He showed his credentials.

"Hello! We’re from the Jiangcheng Criminal Investigation Team, we need to ask you about something."

Seeing the credentials, Wu Juan showed a face full of surprise.

"What? Did my husband commit a crime?"

Chen He was quite surprised by her reaction.

Could she know something?

Then, Chen He decided to play along without stating his intentions directly.

He asked, "Please tell us truthfully; it will aid in lenient treatment."

The woman put down the washbasin in her hand, sighed, and said, "Officer, you must be lenient. Chen Feng is a good man."

Hearing this, Chen He became even more puzzled.

Already confessing without interrogation?

Chen He signaled the accompanying officer to take notes.

Wu Juan’s eyes were red as she began, "It’s all because his roommate Song Can borrowed money and didn’t repay, leading Chen Feng to teach him a lesson."

Then she hurriedly asked, "Did Song Can end up in the hospital?"

"Does my husband need to go to prison?"

Wu Juan became increasingly agitated, her eyes moist, tears almost falling.

Upon hearing this, Chen He finally understood.

After all this talk, it’s not about the same thing.

He then asked, "When did you learn that Chen Feng was going to teach Song Can a lesson?"

Wu Juan replied, "Yesterday, when he went to the construction site, he said he had to find Song Can to repay the 2000 debt, or else he would show him a thing or two."

"When did he borrow the money?"

"Over six months ago!"

"Did Chen Feng tell you he was hitting someone?"

Wu Juan shook her head, "He said yesterday he would teach Song Can a lesson."

"Debt repayment is only right. You must deal with this sympathetically."

After a short silence, Chen He said, "We will definitely investigate what you’ve described."

"However, there’s another matter we came for today."

"Did you work at the Jiangtai Construction Site?"

"I worked as a laborer when the site first started construction."

"Do you know Liu Jun?"

"He shared a dormitory with my husband Chen Feng."

Chen He nodded and asked, "Did he pursue you at that time?"

The woman instantly looked down, slightly embarrassed.

"Liu Jun did have such intentions at that time, but I refused."

"Was Chen Feng aware of him pursuing you?"

Wu Juan said, "It seems like he knew!"

"He was very angry at the time, but I told him I would never leave him."

"What happened afterward?"

"Later, my husband said the construction work was too tiring and told me to come back to watch our child."

"Do you know that Liu Jun died three months ago?"

As soon as the words fell, Wu Juan quickly looked up, her eyes wide with disbelief.

Chen He did not directly answer her but asked, "In the past three months, has your husband mentioned him?"

Jiang An and Zhang Yean were also busy; the two drove to the hospital to retrieve Liu Jun’s medical records.

They searched through five large general hospitals but couldn’t find any medical records.

They went to Jiangcheng Male Reproductive Hospital.

Upon entering, a young nurse with sharp features and fair skin approached them.

"Gentlemen, have you registered?"

A strong perfume aroma wafted over.

"Today, we have nationally known experts sitting in consultations, specializing in male dorsal nerve block procedures, with great effects lasting over 30 minutes, and..."

Before the woman could finish, Zhang Yean promptly showed her badge.

"Police! Investigating!"

However, Zhang Yean just felt her face flushing hot.

Jiang An said, "We are here to obtain a patient’s records."

After a moment of surprise, the nurse said, "The medical record department is on the second floor."

Then, Jiang An and Zhang Yean walked up the stairs.

Zhang Yean glanced around and complained, "This place doesn’t look like a hospital at all, it’s flashier than a nightclub."

Jiang An said while walking, "This is a male reproductive hospital."

Arriving at the second floor’s medical records department, they indeed found Liu Jun’s medical records.

Jiang An said, "Please print 2 copies for us."

The staff at the window said, "20 yuan, please scan the code!"

Jiang An took out his mobile phone to scan it.

Zhang Yean said, "Make sure to get reimbursed later."

Two minutes later, Liu Jun’s medical record was fully copied.

Jiang An flipped through the medical records.

"He visited the outpatient clinic a total of four times, all about six months ago."

Immediately, he said, "Let’s find this attending physician, Yang Ting."

Zhang Yean curiously asked, "A male reproductive hospital has female doctors?"

Jiang An turned his head and said, "In the eyes of a doctor, there’s no distinction between male and female."

Five minutes later, the two arrived at the door of consultation room number one.

"Knock, knock, knock."

Seeing Jiang An and Zhang Yean come in, she routinely asked, "Where are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Mr. Yang, hello! We are police officers." Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on NovєlFіre.net

"We’d like to learn about a patient you once treated."

Soon, Jiang An handed over the medical records.

Yang Ting looked them over and said, "The patient seems familiar."

"When he came for consultation, he had an HPV virus infection with many new skin lesions on the lower part."

"However, he continuously insisted that he hadn’t visited any irregular places."

"Moreover, he hadn’t engaged in any unclean behavior with others."

Jiang An asked, "Did he come alone at that time?"

"The first time it seemed he came with a woman."

"However, during subsequent follow-up, he came by himself."

"Can you recall the appearance of that woman?"

Yang Ting shook her head and said, "Sorry, I can’t remember."

"The woman accompanied him only the first time, waiting just outside the door."

Jiang An glanced at the medical record and found Liu Jun first came for consultation nine months ago.

Even if they check surveillance now, they won’t find that mysterious woman.
