Chen s.h.i.+ got in the car and Lin Dongxue followed right after lamenting, ”Such a good and well-taught girl was actually killed like this. How pitiful.”
”In fact, decapitation is the least painful of all deaths.”
”I wouldn't feel comforted even if you said that. Would you dare tell that to the family of the deceased?”
”I think the murderer has a low social status and may live near the deceased. They have complex feelings towards the deceased's family and should be around the same age as the girl. They cut off the head and hung it at the door of the deceased's house. Their actions indicate a strong sense of revenge. The object of their hate includes the father of the deceased, so we can probably get a lead out of talking with him.”
”Why do you say they're of the same age?”
Chen s.h.i.+ smiled. ”I'll tell you the reasoning for this a.n.a.lysis later.”
In the evening, the two went to Li Mengran's house. Mr. Li sat silently on the sofa and there were a lot of tear-stained tissues thrown on the coffee table. Aunty Wu held a bowl of noodles and said, ”Sir, take a bite or your body will break.”
Mr. Li gave no response, as if his soul was lost.
Entering this home, Lin Dongxue felt that the atmosphere was very depressing and suffocating. Mr. Li suddenly jumped up and asked, ”Did the murderer get caught? Did the murderer get caught yet?”
Chen s.h.i.+ said, ”We are still investigating. We are here to ask you about something.”
Mr. Li was indignant. ”Why are the police so useless? Wouldn't you know just by viewing the surveillance footage in the area? Even if no one is caught, you should quickly control the exits in the city. Don't let that sc.u.mbag run away! Have you found my daughter's body yet? Was she... Let me have a look at her!”
Mr. Li was a little confused at present. Chen s.h.i.+ pushed him back to the sofa and said, ”Mr. Li, I a.s.sure you that we will keep investigating endlessly. However, this also requires your cooperation.”
Mr. Li punched his thighs and said, ”Ranran is already dead. What's the use of catching the real murder?! Officers, I won't ask for anything else. Just shoot that person when you catch him. No, let me shoot him with my own hands. I know this is in violation of the rules, but I can give you money. I beg you to fulfill this father's wishes... Everything is meaningless to me now. I just want to kill him and take revenge for Ranran!”
Mr. Li's teeth made clattering noises as he ground them together with rage. Chen s.h.i.+ followed the direction Mr. Li's words were going and commented, ”It seems you love Ranran very much.”
”She is the pearl of my palm. The only meaning in my life. I worked hard because I hoped that she could live a good life. But now, everything is over! It's completely over!”
”I know this is a bit cruel to say, but I still ask you to accept the fact. Ranran wouldn't want to see her father live so painfully. The police and the law will definitely give you and your family justice.”
Listening to this, Mr. Li cried while covering his face. Chen s.h.i.+ was a little relieved. The emotions he suppressed were released. They could finally question him properly.
After waiting for his crying to finish, Chen s.h.i.+ asked, ”I want to know about your interpersonal relations.h.i.+ps.”
”My relations.h.i.+ps are very simple. First of all, Ranran's biological mother...”
Mr. Li spoke about a few people briefly, and then Chen s.h.i.+ asked again, ”Can you please recall if you've ever financially helped a child around the same age as Ranran?”
”Why are you asking this?”
”I have my reasons.”
”No.” Mr. Li shook his head. ”All my resources are used to invest into Ranran. My income isn't high and my annual salary is only just over 400,000. How can I help other children?”
”If you think of anything, please contact me. This is my number.” Chen s.h.i.+ wrote down his contact details on a piece of paper.
”Okay, okay... By the way, I have a clue to provide. It was most likely this guy who did it!”
”Tell us!”
