Qin Fei had soone bring over the case file Qin Fei ntioned.
Chen Xiao took it and began studying it.
Judging by the recordings in the entire case file, that driver indeed had a significant suspicion of committing the cri.
Moreover, through Xie Yan's investigation, the driver had sothing going on with the murdered boss's wife.
At the scene of the victim's murder, evidence was also found that could identify the driver.
Looking at it this way, the case indeed seed problem-free.
But Xie Yan's ntal state before the incident clearly pointed to sothing.
Could it be that Xie Yan was simply ntally unhealthy?
Chen Xiao fell silent for a mont.
Lin Xi also looked over it and then spoke: "Elder Xie wanted to destroy all his honors before the incident, which obviously expressed a certain emotion. And for a policeman to personally destroy the honors he received ans that his honors were undeserved."
"What situation would make a policeman feel he shouldn't have received such honors? Wrongly handling a case definitely counts as one, especially if it not only mismanaged a case but also led to soone's death!"
"In such a situation, happening to a police officer with strong principles, he would never forgive himself."
What Lin Xi said was exactly what Chen Xiao was thinking.
Now everything was very clear.
Or rather, Chen Xiao's later inference was plausible.
The matter with Cao Chan was entirely insufficient to crumble Xie Yan.
But if you add a wrongful case, the already strained Xie Yan would definitely despair at that mont.
It's just, why did he choose the sa thod of death as the victim in the Yang Lake Phantom case?
The reason is simple, his suicide can easily be attributed to reasons unrelated to martyrdom.
Later, Xie Wensheng tirelessly worked for Xie Yan to earn recognition as having died in the line of duty.
Furthermore, using the sa thod of death may very well be Xie Yan's way to tell everyone that this case must be further investigated.
After all, involving a policeman's death, the case cannot be hastily concluded.
Unfortunately, the reality is that the Yang Lake Phantom case is now completely like a hot potato.
It's only suitable for detectives like Chen Xiao who aren't police officers to investigate!
However, all of this is still rely speculation; there's no evidence to back it up.
So Chen Xiao didn't rush to a conclusion, but instead said to Qin Fei: "Smuggling cases in Shencheng City are generally investigated by smugglers and coast guards, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you know anyone with extensive experience in smuggling investigations, Captain Qin? I want to ask about soone."
"I'm familiar with quite a few colleagues in smuggling investigations, who's the person you want to ask about?"
"A guy with the nickna Jin Bao, I suspect he was previously a smuggler in Shencheng City."
"Got it, I'll help you find out."
Qin Fei imdiately went out.
Chen Xiao exhaled deeply: "Hopefully, he really is a smuggler, so it'll be much easier to investigate!"
"Most likely he is, because according to your analysis, the case is already inseparable from the smuggling circle. First, Lian Da and his three n were smuggling, then Lian Yuhong's death and Li Jindao also relied on smuggling to start, and now Jin Bao erges, he must be well acquainted with Lian Da and his crew."
As Lin Xi spoke, Chen Xiao suddenly slapped his thigh:
"You're right, since he's familiar with Lian Da and his trio, it ans Geng Youfeng might know him too!"
Lin Xi was taken aback, then sarcastically added: "How could I forget Sister Geng!"
Chen Xiao didn't say much, imdiately dialing Geng Youfeng's number.
The latter was likely already asleep, her voice sounded a bit drowsy: "Advisor Chen, what's up?"
"Sister, I'm inquiring about soone, have you heard of a person nicknad Jin Bao?"
"Jin Bao? You don't know who Jin Bao is?" Geng Youfeng was visibly surprised.
Chen Xiao doubted: "What, have I t him before?"
"Li Jindao's nickna is Jin Bao!"
"What!"
Geng Youfeng's nonchalant answer left Chen Xiao instantly stunned.
Beside him, Lin Xi also looked utterly incredulous upon hearing it.
"Li Jindao is actually Jin Bao, that's too surprising!"
Chen Xiao took deep breaths as he adjusted his emotions, before seriously saying: "Sister, how did you know he was Jin Bao?"
"Zhu Mao told , he often talks to
about people in that circle, Li Jindao, or rather Jin Bao is quite a well-known figure in their circle. However, their businesses don't conflict, and Zhu Mao and his team are very cautious to avoid people like Jin Bao, who have true influence."
At that mont, Chen Xiao seed to suddenly understand.
Especially when contemplating the death of Lian Yuhong and the thods Gu Rong used, his perception of Li Jindao was once again refreshed.
Gu Rong forced Lian Yuhong to commit suicide using Lian Da's thod of death, all to make people investigate the Yang Lake Phantom case.
But later, Li Jindao, in order to protect Gu Rong, deliberately confessed, ultimately paying the price for it.
While imprisoned, would Chen Xiao think of Li Jindao when considering possible suspects?
No!
Once the cause of Lian Yuhong's death was discovered, Chen Xiao almost stopped thinking about Li Jindao.
Now, suddenly being told that Jin Bao is Li Jindao, Chen Xiao instinctively felt it was impossible!
Could it be that Li Jindao deliberately downplayed the issue to let everything settle quickly?
That's why his flaws were glaring, almost aiding Chen Xiao in identifying Gu Rong as the criminal suspect!
Thinking about this possibility, Chen Xiao couldn't help but find Li Jindao's thought processes chilling.
However, this only confirms that Jin Bao is Li Jindao, which isn't enough to say Li Jindao is the person behind the Yang Lake Phantom.
Because in 1994, Li Jindao should have completed his transformation and engaged in the stainless steel business.
Back then, Li Jindao and the trio of Lian Da should not have had any substantial conflicts!
Chen Xiao pondered over it, then said: "I didn't expect it; I need to contact my cousin again."
With a laugh, Chen Xiao dialed Liang Yan's number, asking her to visit the detention center to et Chen Xianzu.
After all, Chen Xianzu is very familiar with Li Jindao!
Back in the interrogation room, Chen Xianzu carefully instructed Li Jindao not to attempt a cover-up!
Could there be a deeper aning in what Chen Xianzu said back then?
Thinking about it, Chen Xiao couldn't help but find it amusing.
He seed to have imagined his cousin as too mysterious.
Soon, Liang Yan reached the detention center and had Chen Xianzu take Chen Xiao's call.
"Chen Xiao, life in the detention center is very calm, why do you always disturb my tranquility?"
"I have a question for you, still about Li Jindao."
Chen Xianzu was confused: "What more could you possibly ask, didn't I tell you last ti?"
"But you didn't ntion he had the nickna Jin Bao!"
"Jin Bao, Silver Leopard, Copper Leopard, so what? Just a nickna."
Chen Xiao replied: "Don't rush, let
ask, when did he exit the smuggling business?"
"Before I knew him, he was already out, and then he pursued the stainless steel business for many years, eventually investing in a hotel in Xiangdu. Speaking of which, I was curious back then, was the stainless steel business really that good in the 1990s? That guy indeed earned a lot of money!"
Hearing this, Chen Xiao squinted his eyes and sneered: "Then you say, could it be possible he never exited the smuggling circle? But rather, continued to profit from that business, thus accumulating his current wealth?"
