Director's Office.
Captain Lu, who hadn't slept all night, handed the recording pen to Ji Qing with dark circles under his eyes. "Last night, the lawyer went to see Zhang Ran, and Officer Ma recorded the whole thing. Please listen to this recording."
Ji Qing observed his preoccupied appearance, picked up the recorder, and pressed play. The voices of Qi Hongyan and Zhang Ran talking instantly filled the office.
A few minutes later, the sound disappeared.
Ji Qing turned off the recorder, leaned back in her chair, and looked at Captain Lu. "What are you thinking?"
The lack of sleep caused Captain Lu's eyes to be bloodshot. "I have investigated all the cases involving Zhang Ran. She is a top student who graduated with a degree in computer science. She also co-founded a game company with her classmate Qiao Xi. They were once hacked, and she remotely controlled the attack to repel it."
Therefore, it was definitely not an accident that the last bank theft case was ultimately traced back to their police station's IP address. He was 90% certain that Zhang Ran was responsible, in order to retaliate against President Gu for accusing her of embezzling donations from the orphanage.
Ultimately, the mystery was resolved with Mr. Gu's suicide by jumping off a building.
"Assuming that she really instructed her bodyguards to do the case at the hospital, she wouldn't be stupid enough to leave behind evidence like surveillance footage. With her skills, it would be easy for her to hack into the system and tamper with the surveillance footage. I'm more inclined to believe that she was framed this time."
"Hmm." Ji Qing looked at him calmly and asked, "So what do you plan to do?"
"I've already sent people to investigate Guo Xiao," Captain Lu reported truthfully. "His entire family disappeared without a trace. I deduce that someone kidnapped his family, forced him to kill someone at the hospital, and then framed Zhang Ran. However, these are just my personal speculations; we still need to collect evidence to prove them." If the person behind it all is really Gu Jinhe, the police might not find anything at all.
"Haven't you been collecting evidence all these years to bring Zhang Ran to justice?" Ji Qing looked at him teasingly. "Your guess is actually helping her."
Captain Lu: "...What I want is impartial law enforcement, not false accusations."
"Okay." Ji Qing smiled with satisfaction. "Go ahead and investigate."
Captain Lu frowned. "But what if it really involves that person from the Gu family?"
"Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up," Ji Qing solemnly promised.
Captain Lu gave a wry smile, "I'm afraid you won't be able to handle it." He then changed the subject, "Never mind, I'll go investigate the case first."
As he walked out of the bureau chief's office and through the corridor, he encountered Xiao Xie, who was coming out of the interrogation room.
"Captain Lu." Xiao Xie handed over the completed statement. "The two people from Shijia Village have finished giving their statements."
Captain Lu looked down at the documents, then looked up at Xiao Xie after a while: "So, they have neither witnesses nor physical evidence to prove that Zhang Ran locked the person in the coffin?"
Xiao Xie nodded.
Captain Lu frowned and looked at Xiao Xie. "There's a suspicious point here. After the person went missing, they never found him. They even gave up after reporting him missing to the police. So how did they find the body in the coffin used for a ghost marriage?"
"The village chief of Shitou Village confessed that Shi Lao Er appeared to him in a dream. After he woke up, he went to report it to the police and found the body after digging up the grave."
"A dream?" Captain Lu scoffed. "This kind of superstitious belief is ridiculous, it's just fooling idiots." After discovering the body and reporting it to the police, they should have handed it over to the local police, but instead they traveled all the way to the capital. Clearly, someone was behind this.
Xiao Xie sighed: "The remote mountainous areas are feudal and backward. They can even do things like arranging ghost marriages. Never mind them. Should we interrogate Zhang Ran now?"
"Investigate first before interrogating; there are many suspicious points in this case that need to be clarified..."
