Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1622 7 Heart Tablets 3

Mu Dai is smart but also kind and quite skilled. Although she was robbed twice by the same pickpocket in one day, she is still willing to give him a third chance. At this moment, Cao Yanhua, who calls himself Mr. Cao of Qianjinbei, is helping her track down and investigate the person who followed her before.

So after seeing the photo of the young woman from the family of three murdered in the Luomahu case provided by Li Tan, Mu Dai couldn't help but ask pointedly, "Mr. Li, are you sure this Li Yaqing was murdered?"

Li Tan, a former police officer, immediately realized that Mu Dai wouldn't ask such a question casually, and that she might have seen someone who looked like Li Yaqing. He immediately lost control and said, "I was a police officer at the time, and was almost the first person to enter the scene. Could I have mistaken my fiancée?"

Mu Dai was a little embarrassed, but still tried his best to remind him: "Mr. Li, please think carefully. Maybe you are mistaken, or there are other possibilities?"

At this time, Jiang Xinxin stepped forward to smooth things over, facing Li Tan's anger: "Uncle Li, I think Miss Mu must know someone who looks very similar to your fiancée. I also suspect that the other person may have some relationship with your fiancée."

Mu Dai nodded repeatedly. Her adoptive mother Huo Zihong looked exactly like Li Yaqing. The only difference from the photo was her age.

Li Tan finally calmed down his anger and apologized to the two young women. "I was too impatient, but I really can't fail to recognize my own fiancée. I'm sure Yaqing died in that tragedy twenty-two years ago..."

Mu Dai didn't tell anyone about his adoptive mother, Huo Zihong, and abruptly changed the subject: "Uncle Li, can you tell me the details of the case from two years ago?"

Li Tan secretly exchanged a glance with Jiang Xinxin and said readily, "Of course."

"That case happened in Xiaoshang River, but the root of everything is still in Luoma Lake."

"In recent years, every time that case happened, which was also the Asian Youth Games' birthday, I would go to the scene and take a walk, not for anything else, but to remind myself not to give up."

"That day happened to be the 20th anniversary of the Luomahu case. I went to the house as usual, but I found a very strange person who had entered Yaqing's house first."

Mu Dai quickly asked, "What is he going to do?"

Li Tan glanced at Jiang Xinxin and continued to Mu Dai, "I didn't dare to alarm him, so I didn't dare get too close. But through the crack in the door, I saw a man dressed in black and wearing a hood. He reached out and touched the traces of crime on the wall inch by inch. He seemed to be reliving something, and even enjoying it."

At this point, Li Tan's expression became even more serious. "You may not know this, but some criminals with mental health problems even like to return to the crime scene on the day of the crime to relive the feeling of committing the crime!"

"So, on that day, the other party appeared in that form. I don't believe that he has no connection with the case back then!"

Mu Dai asked hurriedly: "Then you didn't take any measures?"

Li Tan sighed, "I'm no longer a police officer. I can't trust him just by relying on my intuition, so I decided to follow him secretly. I followed him for several days and followed him all the way to Xiaoshang River."

"I eventually found him in a shop selling mutton soup, but when I got there, he had already killed the couple in the shop. He was tying up the dead elderly couple with fishing line. I rushed in, determined not to let him get away."

"But I rushed over and hit him hard on the head, but he acted like nothing happened. He was so strong that he didn't even feel anything. So I quickly fell behind and almost died at his hands. It was the sudden fire that alarmed him and gave me the chance to fight back."

"Unfortunately, just when I was about to subdue the man, I was suddenly ambushed by a second person and fell unconscious. I didn't see the murderer before I passed out. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital. The doctors and nurses said they didn't see who took me there, and the shop and the victim's body were burned to ashes..."

Jiang Xinxin seized the opportunity to ask, "Uncle Li, did you call the police?"

Li Tan explained, "I had a head injury at the time, and my memory was blurry for a while. It took me half a year to finally remember everything. When I went back to investigate, the case had already been closed as an accident. It was said that the mutton soup shop accidentally caught fire while cooking mutton soup in the middle of the night."

"The reason I didn't report it was, firstly, because the case had already been closed, and secondly, because I couldn't provide any strong evidence and it couldn't be accepted."

"And I think the person who sent me to the hospital definitely wasn't the murderer. If he was the serial killer, there's no reason for him to let me go. He even sent me to the hospital specifically, allowing me to avoid interrogation."

Just as Mu Dai was about to ask something, she suddenly received a message from Cao Yanhua saying that the whereabouts of the person who was following her had been found and the person was now in the bar street.

Mu Dai thought about it and exchanged information with Li Tan: "I got news about someone who followed me. I have a hunch that he might be related to what we are investigating..."

Li Tan immediately expressed his desire to go together, and Jiang Xinxin was no exception. At the entrance to the bar street, Cao Yanhua saw two people he knew following Mu Dai, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, because Li Tan was the one whose wallet he had stolen, and Jiang Xinxin was the one who helped Li Tan recover the wallet.

But it doesn't matter at the moment. Mu Dai recognized that the car Cao Yanhua pointed to belonged to Ma Tuwen, who had bought information from Wan Fenghuo with them. So Mu Dai immediately understood that Luo Ren, who was following her, was the person behind Ma Tuwen.

The three of them walked from the back street into the bar street. It was relatively quiet here and there were very few pedestrians. They happened to see Cen Chunjiao carrying a suitcase and walking into a big door, and the person who greeted her at the door was Luo Ren.

Li Tan glanced at Luo Ren from a distance, then turned and said to Mu Dai and Jiang Xinxin in a low voice, "Before I passed out, I saw a figure that looked very similar to Luo Ren, both in shape and feel."

"It's a pity that I couldn't see the other person's face clearly, otherwise I would have made a portrait long ago."

Jiang Xinxin suggested, "Why don't we just go over there? Since they've intercepted Cen Chunjiao, it means they're also very concerned about the fishing line case. Even if we're not all concerned about the same case, it's still a serial murder case, so more communication is always good."

Li Tan agreed with Jiang Xinxin's opinion, but Mu Dai was a little nervous. After listening for a long time, Cao Yanhua basically understood what was going on and was secretly searching for relevant information on his mobile phone.

So Jiang Xinxin took the lead and knocked on the door that Cen Chunjiao entered, and the person who opened the door was Luo Ren.

Jiang Xinxin smiled and said, "Perhaps we have some information that we can share with each other."
