Chapter 120 Direct showdown
Sure enough, as he expected, Zhou Xiaomei disappeared.
Zhou Xiaomei is a living witness. If you want to get rid of her, it is not enough to just kill her to silence her, because as long as the body is there, the evidence is there.
Therefore, if you want to get rid of her, it is not as simple as just killing her. You must make sure that she is neither alive nor dead.
The arsonist's purpose was only to create chaos and make a feint to the east so that he could take the opportunity to take Zhou Xiaomei away.
The director of the sanatorium was a woman in her forties named Wei. When she heard that someone was missing, she was so anxious that sweat broke out on her forehead.
After working hard all night, they finally put out the fire, but now one person is missing. She might not be able to continue her job as the dean.
Qi Lei didn't waste time talking to her and asked her to take him to the monitoring room.
Because last night was so chaotic, the security guard in the monitoring room also went to comfort the old man. When he returned to the monitoring room in the morning, he found that there were problems with the surveillance in several places.
Arson and destruction of surveillance, very well planned, Qi Lei sneered, don't think we can't find you this way.
If you want to take Zhou Xiaomei away, you must have a means of transportation, and a car is indispensable. You can destroy the surveillance of the sanatorium, but you can't destroy all the surveillance on this road, right?
Qi Lei made a phone call and asked Guo Zhongliang to come over and temporarily let him check the surveillance footage as he had more important things to do.
"Su Xiaoxiao, Xiaoyu, you two follow me."
After he finished speaking, he found that no one responded. He looked up and saw Su Xiaoxiao walking around in the yard, looking for something.
"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Qi Lei walked over.
"I feel that this yard is a little strange, but I can't tell what's strange about it." Su Xiaoxiao was still looking around.
"Don't look at it, just follow me, we have more important things to do now."
"What's more important?" Su Xiaoxiao wondered, what could be more important than finding Zhou Xiaomei right now?
"Let's go find Mojie."
"Go find Mo Jie and have a showdown?" Su Xiaoxiao instantly understood what Qi Lei meant. This was the most effective way at the moment.
He could directly confront Mo Jie and tell him that Qiu Chenglin did not do what happened back then, and let him know that Zhou Xiaomei would not be a problem for them. If Zhou Xiaomei was still alive, he would not need to do anything, and could just release her secretly.
Several people went directly back to the Municipal Bureau. Mo Jie is over 50 years old and has not been in the Technical Investigation Section for a long time. Now he is the deputy director of the Political Department of the Municipal Bureau, which is considered a sinecure.
Mo Jie's office was in the building behind the Criminal Investigation Team. He was surprised to see them.
"Captain Qi, you are a busy man in the criminal investigation team, how come you have time to come to me today?" Mo Jie smiled and let them in.
Although he is over fifty, he has maintained himself well and looks less than fifty. He is gentle and elegant, and somewhat similar to Yue Chenglin.
He knew Qi Lei, but they were not very familiar with each other. As for Su Xiaoxiao, he knew her, after all, the Municipal Bureau had been on the hot search because of her.
"Deputy Director Mo, we are here to talk to you today."
"That's what I told you. Captain Qi wouldn't come to me unless he had nothing to do. Tell me how I can help you."
"We are investigating an old case from 21 years ago." Qi Lei did not beat around the bush. "This case has something to do with your nephew Yue Chenglin."
"What does it have to do with him?" Mo Jie sat up straight and his expression became serious.
Qi Lei didn't waste any time and directly asked Su Xiaoxiao to pull out the photos in her phone and show them to Mo Jie.
"We found this. Can you see if this person is Yue Chenglin?"
There are more than one photo, and the photographer took them from different angles. Although there is no front view, there are several side views. People who are familiar with it can definitely recognize it.
"This really looks like Cheng Lin when he was young. How did you get this photo? My Cheng Lin would never do such a thing. You must have made a mistake. He was framed!" Mo Jie looked a little excited.
Yue Chenglin is his sister's only child. He risked his life to help him and went through so much trouble. How could they have any other evidence? !
"Don't get excited. We are here to tell you that Yue Chenglin didn't commit the assault. The victim got pregnant and gave birth to a child named Zhou Xiaomei.
When we found this photo, we did suspect him, but we had already done a comparison and the child was not his, so it was very likely that someone was framing him in this photo.”
"Was Cheng Lin framed?" Mo Jie was stunned for a moment. Why was this happening? !
"Yes, we think he was framed. However, now this girl named Zhou Xiaomei is missing and we can't find him, so we wanted to ask you if you know her whereabouts?"
"How could I know her whereabouts?" Mo Jie shook his head.
"Okay, forget it if you don't know. If you have any news about her, please contact me." Qi Lei sighed, "I just hope that the person who did this won't make the same mistake over and over again."
After Qi Lei finished speaking, he took Su Xiaoxiao and said goodbye.
"Are we leaving just like this?" Su Xiaoxiao was a little confused.
"Otherwise, do you think he would admit that he was the one who asked someone to take her away? It is enough for us to tell him that Yue Chenglin has not committed any crime. He is not a vicious person. I bet that he still has a conscience. If Zhou Xiaomei is still alive, he will definitely call the people who arrested her to let her go. So, I asked Li Yan to monitor his phone calls."
Back at the Criminal Investigation Team office, Li Yan was sitting in front of the computer. As soon as she saw them, she waved at them.
"How is it? Did he call?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
"No, there is no sound from the phone or mobile phone." Li Yan shook his head.
No movement? Could it be that he was wrong? That shouldn't be the case. Since Zhou Xiaomei had nothing to do with Yue Chenglin, it would be meaningless for him to move Zhou Xiaomei. Unless necessary, he would not risk killing someone. Even if the matter of stealing evidence was exposed, it was not a serious crime and it was not worth killing someone.
Of course, it is also possible that he did not use his own mobile phone to make the call, and for convenience, he used another SIM card.
Guo Zhongliang has found a suspicious van and is now tracking it along the way to see if he can find its final destination.
Just then, the team members who were monitoring Mojie sent a message that Mojie had driven out.
Qi Lei knew this was not good news.
It is very likely that Mo Jie was the one who kidnapped Zhou Xiaomei, but he would not do it by himself, and it is impossible for one person to do it alone, as he set fire and robbed people, so he must have found help.
As soon as they left, he went out.
If he decided to release the person, he could just make a phone call and it would be solved, but now he went there in person.
That only means that things have changed. It's not that he doesn't want to release the person, but that unexpected circumstances have arisen that prevent him from releasing the person, or his helpers are unwilling to release the person.
In either case, Zhou Xiaomei is in danger.
