C14 Goodbye Lian Peng!
The people from Unit 9 had witnessed Jian Chenyi's methods. The next morning, they dragged him to see Lian Peng.
There was no evidence to prove that Lian Peng was the murderer, so they could only find him to understand the situation, not summon him.
Since he could not stay at home, Lian Peng was now living in the hotel. He did not work today, so when he opened the door, he looked very sloppy.
Seeing Jian Chenyi and the others, Lian Peng's expression became impatient, "Why are you here again? I've told you everything you need to know. What else is there to ask?"
His attitude was not good, but Jian Chenyi was not annoyed. He still had a faint smile on his face, "Mr. Lian, we are also here to solve the case as soon as possible so that your father can get justice."
Hearing this, Lian Peng's mouth moved, but in the end, he did not say anything. He opened the door and went back to his room.
It could be seen that Lian Peng had not been doing well these few days. The room was filled with instant noodles and trash, and there were quite a few cigarette butts in the ashtray.
Jian Chenyi turned his gaze to Lian Peng and looked at him carefully, not letting go of any clues.
Hua Ning was the first to speak, "Mr. Lian, how about this? You first tell us what happened that day. We can think about it and maybe we can find something."
Lian Peng scratched his head and sighed, "That morning, I …"
It was the same excuse. Lian Peng's explanation was very smooth. Hua Ning and the others had heard this excuse before, but they still listened very seriously.
Just like what she had said, what if she found some clues that she had overlooked before?
At first, Jian Chenyi's gaze was fixed on Lian Peng's face, and then it moved to his hand for a short while.
Soon, Lian Peng finished his story, "That's what happened. After that, I was scared out of my wits and went to the police station to call the police. Officer, I suggest that you record my words so that I won't have to repeat them over and over again. If you don't mind, I won't mind."
Jian Chenyi stood up from the chair and stretched out his hand, "Mr. Lian, thank you for your cooperation. We won't bother you any longer in the near future."
After leaving the hotel, Hua Ning asked impatiently, "Mr. Jian, how is it? Did you find anything?"
Jian Chenyi smiled faintly, "Let's talk about it after we return to the police station."
Judging from the situation, Jian Chenyi must have found something from Lian Peng. The rest of them felt like scratching their heads, wanting to know immediately.
"Then let's go back to the police station." Xiao Chennai started the car and was about to go back.
Unexpectedly, Jian Chenyi said, "No rush. Let's not go back to the police station first. Take me to the Snossen Community."
Although they did not know what Jian Chenyi was up to, Hua Ning and the rest were already shocked by her performance last night, so they obediently went to the Snossen Community.
After the accident, the Snossen Community was obviously less lively than before. There were not many people in the community in broad daylight.
They walked around and found a few old men and women at the gym equipment. They were talking about something.
They went up and listened. Coincidentally, they were talking about the Lian family.
"When Old Lian was awake, he loved to come out and join in the fun. I played chess with him a few times. What a pity."
"Yeah, Old Lian is a good person. Once, my granddaughter almost got lost, but he stopped her."
"There's nothing we can do about this illness. It's good that she left. Sigh …"
Jian Chenyi listened thoughtfully and sat down beside the old men and women.
"Uncle, Madame, do you know the situation of the Lian family?"
The old men and women immediately became alert when they saw a few strangers suddenly appear and ask about the Lian family. "Who are you? Which website are you from?"
An old lady stood up first. "She's dead. It's not good for us to say bad things about her. You guys should leave quickly."
The others also stood up. Hua Ning quickly took out her police ID. "Hello, aunties and uncles. We're police. We just want to investigate the Lian family's background. It's fine if you don't want to say anything. You don't have to be afraid."
Seeing that it was a police officer, the old men and women immediately felt relieved and became more spirited.
"Aiya, so it's a police officer. You should have said so earlier. I'm familiar with the Lian family. We've been neighbors for decades."
"Yes, yes. Old Lian has been playing chess with me all day long. We are very familiar with each other."
Jian Chenyi asked, "How many people does the Lian family have? Lian Dongshen and Lian Peng?"
The old lady who called herself a neighbor of the Lian family for decades waved her hand and said, "That's not the case. The Lian family has two sons, but his eldest son doesn't come back for a few years. So everyone thinks that Lian Peng is the only son of the Lian family."
Another son?
Hua Ning and Cheng Sheng looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes.
Since there was still a son, things had happened for so long. He must have known that something had happened to his father. But why had he never seen such a person before?
This was a new discovery!
"Madame, why haven't I seen this eldest son before? Logically speaking, shouldn't the eldest son take care of this? Why is it that Lian Peng is the only one who is busy?" Hua Ning tried to sound like she didn't know anything.
The old lady shook her head, "I don't know. This boss has not appeared for a few years, and I have not heard of him going abroad. It seems that he has always been in the local area, and Lian Peng has been taking care of Old Lian."
The old man next to her agreed, "That's right. This is a family matter. It's not good to ask about it."
It seemed that he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her.
After returning from the Snossen Community to the police station, Jian Chenyi finally told him her discovery.
"It has been a few days since the incident. Normally, people have a blurred memory. For example, I asked Hua Ning what breakfast you had that morning. Can you answer me immediately?"
Hua Ning rubbed her forehead and shook her head, "I can't remember. I need to think for a moment."
Jian Chenyi nodded, "Yes, this is the reaction of a normal person. However, when we asked Lian Peng, his answer was too smooth, without any thought. This doesn't seem like recalling, but more like …"
"It seems like he was reciting the lines in advance, and had practiced it countless times." Before Jian Chenyi could finish, Xiao Chennai spoke.
Jian Chenyi's face revealed a look of admiration, "Leader Xiao is right. Lian Peng's answer was all rehearsed in advance. He wanted us to know, not the actual situation at that time."
"Furthermore, during the conversation, Lian Peng had a lot of small movements. It can be seen that he was very nervous."
