Chapter 27 Chapter 25 Playing with Fire From Now On

After Qin Huai left, Na Lan looked at the names on the tissue and wondered how many new clues she would get than the police or Qin Huai if she called.At the same time, she also knows her own advantage: she is a woman, not a policeman.The deterrence and authority of the public security personnel are beyond doubt, but in terms of affinity, civilians like her have the upper hand.She pondered for a long time, and first decided not to visit Qian Kuan's relatives and friends for the time being.Qian Kuan is a native of Jiangjing. He has many relatives and friends in Jiangjing. Now that he sets off, he will be able to interview a few of them if he runs around.But she can be sure that since the police quickly found out the relationship between him and Zhang Fujuan, a major breakthrough will also dig deep into the background of this pair of fateful mandarin ducks (maybe they are just dewy mandarin ducks). Related relatives and friends, alone, it is difficult to find a greater breakthrough anyway.

On the other hand, the police will try their best to investigate the other three deceased who worked in other places, but there will definitely be problems beyond their reach, and the coordination of the local police, including their hometowns and the police where they worked, feels that it will not be smooth sailing.She looked again at the contacts and phone numbers Qin Huai had given her, focusing on a name called Tian Wanhua. According to Qin Huai's introduction, Tian Wanhua was the girlfriend of Jin Jun, one of the victims of the "Five Corpses Case". Before Jin Jun was alive, both of them worked in Shanghai at the same time.After Jin Jun's body was discovered, Qin Huai waited for two months before calling Tian Wanhua, fearing that she hadn't recovered from the pain -- of course, the grief of losing a lover is far from lasting in two months. ease.But what surprised him was that Tian Wanhua's voice had a kind of determination and anger in addition to deep sorrow - she thought that Jin Jun was murdered, and no matter who the murderer was, if she saw her, she would take revenge without hesitation .

Some things you would never say to the police. Nalan dialed the number on the paper towel, which belonged to a furniture factory where Tian Wanhua used to work.The man who answered the phone was stunned and said, "There is no such person." "Please ask, she was in this factory about three or four years ago." The man said impatiently: "Three or four years ago? People have almost changed! You wait a moment." He obviously went around to ask, and the person who answered the phone was a woman, and she asked: "Are you looking for Tian Wanhua?" What are you doing?"

Na Lan had already thought about it, saying that there was a sum of money to be remitted to her, hoping to know how to find her.The woman gave Na Lan another phone number, which belonged to Tian Wanhua's good friend Liu Ju, saying that Liu Ju might know Tian Wanhua's whereabouts. Liu Ju really knew: "She went to Jiangjing to work three years ago, and now she seems to be working in a restaurant kitchen." Tian Wanhua has arrived in Jiangjing! Na Lan remembered the determination and anger that Qin Huai mentioned.It seems that Tian Wanhua came to Jiangjing by chance. Liu Ju gave Na Lan Tian Wanhua's contact address and mobile phone in Jiangjing.

When Nalan found Tian Wanhua, it was around 3:30 in the afternoon, and the kitchen was not so busy.Tian Wanhua seemed to have adapted to life in the city, with light makeup and trendy short hair; her cheekbones were slightly high, her eyes were deep and round, and she looked at Na Lan with distrust. "I don't know you, why did you tell Liu Ju that you have some remittance for me?" Apparently Liu Ju was also very vigilant and notified Tian Wanhua, and Tian Wanhua guessed that Na Lan was the one who asked Liu Ju for her contact information girl. "I'm sorry." Nalan said softly, "I just want to find you as soon as possible." She glanced at the signboard "Jinshixiukou" at the door, and said, "Is this the place where Zhang Fujuan and Qian Kuan used to work?"

Tian Wanhua was shocked: "What... what do you mean?" Nalan said: "You left Shanghai three years ago and came to Jiangjing to work. There are thousands of restaurant K halls in Jiangjing, but you chose this place. I think you want to know whether Jin Jun's death is related to Zhang, The deaths of the two people are related, right? Please don’t be surprised, I don’t want to meddle in your private affairs, it’s my personal affairs, I think that case may be related to the murder of a friend of mine.” "Ning Yuxin." Tian Wanhua's breathing was a little short. This time it was Nalan who was surprised: "Why, she also came to look for you?"

Tian Wanhua nodded, and said: "I didn't meet her face, she called. Not long after, I saw that the tabloids were full of scandals about her and that writer, and then she died... That writer used to call I asked about Jin Jun on the phone." It was once again confirmed that Ning Yuxin was investigating the case of the five corpses during her lifetime, and it is difficult for her death to not be related to the case of the five corpses. Nalan looked around subconsciously, and said, "Perhaps Ning Yuxin has already asked you...the police must have asked you, but I have to ask again, before Jin Jun left, did he..."

"No, he didn't say anything before he left, as if he was blown away by a strong wind. You may not know that Jin Jun never hides anything from me. When we were doing things together, someone joked that he He even wanted to tell me when he went to the toilet. But that time, he suddenly disappeared, without asking for leave from the team, and without explaining to me, he just walked away so casually. At first, I thought he must be with someone The woman got better, and escaped from Shanghai together to work elsewhere. I was so annoyed that I reported her disappearance to the Public Security Bureau. I was just venting my anger. Unexpectedly, less than a month later, the police came to me and said they found him... Found his body, said to have drowned."

Na Lan asked Tian Wanhua to be quiet for a while, and asked her to wipe away her tears, and asked again: "He... Jin Jun... must be able to swim, so you don't believe that he was drowned." Tian Wanhua said: "He doesn't know how to swim, but he swims very well! Our village is on the edge of the Huaihe River, and he is famous for his good water quality in a radius of tens of miles. If you say he drowned, I will do it if you change my mind." Do not believe." "Good water, what's a good way?" "Swimming back and forth from one end of the river to the other is really nothing to him. His best skill is diving. He can hold his breath, dive to the bottom, put a bunch of old turtles in his net bag, and come up again. , For a long time, nothing happened."

"So you determined that he was killed." "Yeah, he left without saying a word, which is very suspicious. He died in the water, which is even more suspicious. It's strange if he wasn't killed. But I just can't figure it out. What are others trying to do with him? Let's fight together." He worked for a few years, didn’t have much money, and kept them all together. When he left, he didn’t take any money, so he definitely wasn’t murdered for money. What else was it for? I followed the news about this case later, I heard that the first corpse was that of a woman, so I wondered if they had an affair, and was caught and killed by the woman's husband; later I heard that the woman, Zhang Fujuan, was a young lady, had no husband, and even had a serious boyfriend. None, the second corpse, the chef named Qian Kuan, had an affair with her, but he was also killed, so it's strange."

Nalan said, "So you purposely found this Hall K to work?" "I just started doing odd jobs in another restaurant nearby, and I paid attention to learning some cooking and dim sum skills. Later, when this restaurant wanted to hire people, I signed up. They began to think that I was more suitable for making tables, and I also showed them After learning some cooking skills, I was assigned to help the chef in the kitchen." "By the way, ask about Zhang Fujuan and Qian Kuan." Tian Wanhua sighed, and said: "Actually, I don't care about the mess between them at all. I just want to know if Jin Jun has anything to do with them. In the past two years, I feel that I have figured it out. Qian Kuan and Zhang Fujuan seem to have a relationship with Jin Jun. The army has nothing to do with it, and none of the people up and down here have seen Jin Jun." "Then Qian Kuan and Zhang Fujuan..." "It's really embarrassing to say, these two people, it's okay for them to be together. What's worse is that I heard rumors that Qian Kuan sometimes entertained 'guests' at home and asked Zhang Fujuan to 'accompany drinks'...you know What do you mean?" Nalan frowned, nodded and said, "A husband and wife shop, soliciting customers to make money?" "That Zhang Fujuan seems pretty good-looking. Qian Kuan is a native-born hooligan. He used Zhang Fujuan to lie to her that he would make money together and marry her when he made enough money. In fact, he would eat, drink, whore and gamble outside. " Nalan asked again: "Then, have you heard that before the two people disappeared, did they receive any 'business'? Because I think that these two people died almost at the same time, would it be related to their 'second jobs'?" related?" Tian Wanhua shook his head and said: "Speaking of the disappearance of the two of them, it seems to be mysterious, there is no sign at all. First, the girls who lived with Zhang Fujuan found that she hadn't come back for several nights, and began to think that she was officially living in Qian Kuan. At the same time, the people in the K hall here found that the two of them had not come for many days in a row. They went to another restaurant where Qian Kuan worked as a chef, but they couldn’t find anyone. I didn't see my son, so I called the police. When the body was found, I realized that the two had an accident together. I heard that Zhang Fujuan had been raped before her death. It should be related to their business, but they wanted to make a wish. Damn, why did you rape again?" Nalan doesn't have an answer, but knows that rape and "normal" sexual intercourse are often just an excess of quantitative change to qualitative change. What does the death of Jin Jun and the other two migrant workers have to do with this pair of "underworld mandarin ducks"?I really can't figure it out. Or, is it really just a coincidence that Jin Jun and the others really just drowned while swimming?It was the turn of spring and summer, and Jiangjing had already started to be sweltering, so there were enough reasons to play in the water.However, it sounds like Jin Jun's water quality is so good that it seems that the possibility of "missing" by accident seems to be very small. A thought flashed through, and Nalan said, "Thank you, we'll keep in touch, and I'll let you know as soon as I make progress." "Jin Jun, Li Yuanxin, and Xi Tong, what do these three people have in common?" Nalan couldn't restrain her excitement, her hand shaking the phone slightly. Qin Huai's voice was calm: "They are all migrant workers from other places, and their bodies were all found in Zhaoyang Lake." "They are all people with first-class water skills! Those contacts said that the water skills of the three deceased are not so good, and they are all famous water floaters in the local circle N! Moreover, they not only swim well, but also I like diving, and I always plunge into it and don’t have to come up for half a month to breathe. Of course, I’m exaggerating, but I just want to explain that their deaths can’t be swimming accidents, simple drowning. Because a good swimmer may I missed Jingzhou carelessly, but the possibility of three master swimmers making major mistakes in the same Zhaoyang Lake at the same time is very slim.” Qin Huai let out an "oh", but there was still no response. Nalan said: "Don't you think this is an interesting phenomenon? Three top-notch divers gathered in Zhaoyang Lake, did not tell any relatives where they were, and just arrived in Jiangjing, and then the corpses appeared in front of them. On Zhaoyang Lake, it can't be a coincidence?" "Your theory?" "Bo Yan treasure." "You mean, they came to Zhaoyang Lake to hunt for treasure?" Qin Huai's tone was devoid of any excitement except for a bit of inconceivable sarcasm. "Everyone knows that the so-called Boyan Treasure Treasure is just a fabricated story, a legend." "The Loch Ness monster and UFOs are legends, but there are not many people looking for them?" "Where did you read the story of Boyan Treasure?" "In your novel." Na Lan deliberately did not mention "Wen Bing Miscellaneous Records". "See, you've answered your own question. Unless you're the kind of person who takes fiction seriously." Nalan asked, "Then why did you make up that story?" "Interesting question. Why did Wu Chengen make up a story? Why did Shakespeare make up a story about "King Lear"? It's very simple, because they are the ones making up the story!" Qin Huai's voice can be heard: You are a clever Man, how could you ask such a mentally handicapped question!He is still avoiding and covering up. "Then do you have a better explanation, why these three people, the three people with strong water abilities, drowned in Zhaoyang Lake?" "Aren't you investigating the 'Five Corpses Case'?" "But I have a feeling that you have known this connection for a long time, and you have known that their water quality is very good." Na Lan's secretive attitude towards Qin Huai has reached the limit. "Don't forget, I have always objected to your investigation into the 'Five Corpses Case'. I even think that you should not look into the cause of Ning Yuxin's death as if you are responsible for the world. That's right, you found out Ning Yuxin's corpse, but you are just a bystander from the beginning to the end, you are just a spectator, there is no role for you here, no responsibility for you! What you need is to trust the police, let Bayu Sheng protect you, etc. The truth of the case came to light. It was true that someone was following you back then, but if you didn’t have that curiosity, those who followed you would have discovered that you didn’t have what they wanted at all. Tao Zi took a walk in the campus, played in the swimming pool, and fed your little mouse!" "It's a hamster!" Na Lan corrected him coldly. "It's a pity that you are writing suspense novels, there is no logic at all, you don't know who is following me, you don't know who killed Ning Yuxin, but you can make decisions for them, predicting that they will easily give up following me?" "But I can at least predict that every step you take in the 'Five Corpses' is to walk into a more intricate minefield." "And how do you know?" "I know because I've watched them go away. You know what they have in common with you?" Nalan didn't answer. "They, like you, are all under the shadow of the 'Five Corpses'!" Nalan said, "There's one more thing, it seems like you've been forgetting to mention it." Qin Huai was speechless. "Kuang Yihui, Ning Yuxin, and I are also people with good water skills."
