“Phew~!”
Li Ruonan took a deep breath, stood up and casually picked up the police jacket hanging on the backrest of the chair, after putting it on she took a big step outside.
As soon as she stepped out, she bumped into Ding Weijian, who immediately asked, “Team Li, are you going out? I was looking for you!”
Li Ruonan asked, “What is it?”
When Ding Weijian heard this, he couldn’t help but look around and saw that there was no one else in the corridor, so he lowered his voice and said, “Captain, I’ve found out everything you asked me to investigate.”
“Come in and talk!”
Li Ruonan smiled and immediately brought Ding Weijian into the office, then casually closed the office door behind him and asked, “What’s the situation?”
Ding Weijian said, “Captain, I have investigated, the few hostages who left early at that time, there should be nothing wrong with them, although a few of them have complicated social connections, but none of them have any connection with Ji Feng, moreover, none of them have any motive …… ”
Li Ruonan could not help but frown and asked, “What you are saying is all your speculation, is there any actual evidence?”
Ding Weijian shook his head and said, “There is no conclusive evidence, but from the circumstances at the scene, it can be ruled out by the method of elimination.”
When Li Ruonan smiled, she couldn’t help but ask, “How to rule it out?”
Ding Weijian said, “Here’s the thing, according to the method you taught me, I first watched the CCTV footage carefully and determined the location of all the hostages at the scene at that time. Coincidentally, quite a few of them knew each other or were from the same company.”
Li Ruonan nodded, this is not surprising, when people encounter danger, the first thing they think of is to run away, tend to good luck to avoid evil this is human instinct.
This is not only a human instinct, but also a psychological comfort that people can seek when they are running away, after all, running away with a familiar person is more secure than running away with a stranger.
Even though it happened suddenly and for a very short time, and because of this, many people will rely on their instinctive reactions when they are running away and will not think about anything else.
So many people would run with people they knew well, and when they were frightened and fell down in fear at the sight of someone being killed in front of them, naturally many people who knew each other also fell down together.
“You go on.” Li Ruonan said.
“Mmm!”
Ding Weijian nodded and said, “Precisely because many of the hostages were familiar with each other, this made my investigation much easier instead. captain, do you remember the ballistic playback we did with the laser at that time?”
Li Ruonan nodded, “Yes, why?”
The use of a laser to play back the ballistic trajectory was already a fairly mature science in the international criminal investigation system, which involved using a special laser pointer, inserting it into the bullet hole, and then the exposed end would emit laser light to imitate the flight path of the bullet, so that it was easy to determine the direction of the bullet and the location of the person who fired it.
Of course, there is a certain amount of error in this, not 100% accurate, but the error is not very large, and nowadays it has been widely used in criminal investigation.
Li Ruonan and the others had also used this method to roughly determine the range of the location of the person who shot the cold shot behind Ji Feng.
“Based on this determined range of the shooter’s location, I first ruled out the hostages that were far away …… I’m talking about the ones that left at the time and didn’t undergo inspection.” Ding Weijian explained.
“I know.” Li Ruonan nodded.
“After excluding the hostages who are far away, there are only three left.” Ding Weijian said, “But coincidentally, where these three people were lying on their backs, there were all their acquaintances next to them, and when the melee was going on, they were all so scared that they were either lying on the ground with their heads in their hands, or several of them were huddled together, and even, one of them was so scared that he was incontinent from urinating …… ”
Li Ruonan immediately understood and asked, “You mean to say that they all had witnesses?”
“Mm.”
Ding Weijian nodded and said, “Although it’s not conclusive evidence, the human witnesses are enough, unless they’re lying in collusion, but by investigating their social connections, I don’t think they need to lie, and besides, there’s no connection between them and Ji Feng.”
“That means that none of them should be the ones who shot the gun!” Li Ruonan said.
“That should be the case.” Ding Weijian nodded his head and said.
Li Ruo Nan then fell into deep thought, pursing her lips with a complex look in her eyes, as if she had thought of something.
Ding Weijian asked, “Captain, it looks like the person who fired the gun was probably some kind of bandit, or someone hid the gun somewhere after firing it, but unfortunately we didn’t do a nitrous reaction test on everyone, and we didn’t find the weapon ……”
“Alright, that’s it for now.” Li Ruonan said.
“Then Ji Feng there ……” Ding Weijian was a little hesitant, although Ji Feng didn’t report the case, but since he investigated the situation, he had to check it out anyway, because among those hostages, there was probably a murderer with a weapon hidden!
“I’ll handle this matter, so you should leave it alone.” Li Ruonan said.
“Yes.”
Ding Weijian nodded his head.
After Ding Weijian left, Li Ruo Nan couldn’t help but let out a long breath, and then she turned around and left the office, while walking outside, she took out her mobile phone and dialed a number: “Jian Yuan, do you have time now? I have some things I want to talk to you about.”
……
“Ruo Nan, why did you suddenly remember to call me?” Fan Jianyuan asked with a gentle smile on his face, smiling.
“Do you still remember this place?” Li Ruonan asked.
Fan Jianyuan smiled and nodded, looking at the buildings not far away and the plastic runway playground, he smiled and said, “Of course I remember, this is our alma mater.”
“Yes, time pa*ses so quickly, in a flash, so many years have pa*sed.”
Looking at the once familiar campus and the familiar school building in front of him, Li Ruonan could not help but sigh softly, as if he was lamenting or reminiscing.
Fan Jianyuan laughed, “Time always pa*ses quickly, but the good thing is that we all still see each other often.”
“Yes, I often get together with my former friends and cla*smates too, and you’ve come back now after a few years abroad.” Li Ruonan nodded, “But I always feel that many of my cla*smates have changed now, and the pure cla*smate friendship that we used to have seems to have gone a bit stale.”
Fan Jian Yuan smiled and said, “Time will change everything, but no matter how it changes, the friendship between cla*smates is still there, you think everyone has changed, that’s because everyone has become mature and has their own lives and families, this is very normal.”
Li Ruonan nodded and said, “Maybe. Some people, however, have become great, while others have changed exceptionally, remember Little Black in the cla*s?”
Fan Jianyuan nodded and smiled, “Of course I remember, he was quite a fierce one back then, what happened to him?”
“I heard he’s involved in the black now.” Li Ruonan said.
“Heh! At that time when he was still in school, he liked to hang around with the society, I remember he was almost arrested once, right? I didn’t think he’d really get mixed up in the Dao now?” Fan Jianyuan shook his head and said.
“My biggest fear is that one day I’ll have to catch him myself.” Li Ruonan slowly shook her head and said, “After all, they were cla*smates, and I don’t want to see him get caught in ……”
Speaking here, she looked at Fan Jianyuan and said, “It’s not just him, in fact I would never hope that I would personally catch any of my cla*smates in jail ……”
“Ruo Nan, you didn’t find me out today just to say this, did you?” Fan Jianyuan met Li RuoNan’s gaze and asked with a smile.
Li Ruonan, however, did not smile, but said, “Jianyuan, can you tell me what you have experienced during these years abroad?”
“Hmm?”
Li Ruonan’s question made Fan Jianyuan freeze, “Why did you suddenly remember to ask this?”
Li Ruonan shook her head, “I’m just curious, can you tell me about it?”
Fan Jian Yuan laughed, “I had a very simple life, just went to school, then spent some time getting used to life in England, and also made some friends, and in my free time I did things that interested me, well, as I said last time, I like to play with guns, so I often went to gun clubs …… ”
Li Ruonan asked, “Only that?”
Fan Jianyuan smiled and asked, “What else could there be? …… Ruo Nan, you are a bit off today, what’s wrong?”
Li Ruo Nan pursed her lips and asked, “Jian Yuan, do you really have nothing you want to tell me?”
Fan Jianyuan was instantly amused, “Ruo Nan, you’re mistaken, right? Wasn’t it you who called and asked me out? How come ……”
“The robbery that happened at the convention centre a few days ago, Ji Feng accused you of shooting at him, remember?” Li Ruonan, however, interrupted him and suddenly asked.
“It’s only been a few days, how can I not remember!” Fan Jianyuan laughed, “Why are you suddenly talking about this?”
“Is there anything you want to say to me about this matter?” Li Ruonan asked.
Fan Jianyuan immediately looked at Li RuoNan suspiciously and asked, “Say what?”
Seeing that at this point in time, Fan Jianyuan was still so calm and still looked the same as ever, Li Ruo Nan’s heart could not help but sigh secretly, perhaps, I’m afraid that the friendship between the two people had come to an end even today.
“Jian Yuan, still remember what I told you? At that time, someone really shot at Ji Feng, and we also identified the location of the person who shot him.” Li Ruonan stared at Fan Jianyuan and said.
“Remember, what’s wrong? Did you find the person who shot him? That will prove my innocence, right?” Fan Jianyuan immediately asked.
Li Ruonan, however, slowly shook her head and was silent for a while before saying, “Jianyuan, we investigated all the hostages who were at the scene at the time, and of course all the bandits were no exception, and all eventually confirmed that it wasn’t them who fired the shots!”
“Then ……”
“Only you!”
Li Ruonan pursed her lips, but her eyes were fixed on Fan Jianyuan, saying, “Jianyuan, only you, we did not investigate, only you, we did not examine you in detail at the scene!”
