Siheyuan: I am Banggeng's uncle

Chapter 965 Investigation!

When Li Xianjin first arrived at the Municipal Bureau, he looked dejected, but when he left, he looked excited, which puzzled everyone who saw him.

More than half an hour later, Li Xianjin arrived at the door of Wen Wan Hongniang's house in a jeep and met two subordinates who had been waiting there.

"Team Leader! You sent us here because you found a new lead?" The jeep stopped in front of a small courtyard. Jiang Guomin, who had arrived earlier, saw Li Xianjin get out of the jeep and immediately stepped forward to greet him respectfully.

Upon hearing Jiang Guomin's question, and recalling Jia Dongming's suggestion, Li Xianjin replied as he walked towards Wen Wanhong's parents' home, "We should be able to find out if there are any new clues after we meet Wen Wanhong's parents."

Soon, the group entered the courtyard where Wen Wanhong's parents lived. When Wen Wanhong's mother saw Li Xianjin and the others, she immediately came forward and asked them with a hopeful expression, "Police officers! Have you caught the murderer who killed my daughter?"

Upon hearing Wen Wanhong's mother's question and seeing her expectant expression, Li Xianjin replied with some guilt, "Aunt Chen! We are still investigating Wen Wanhong's case, but we came to see you today specifically about it."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's answer, Wen Wanhong's mother thought of her tragically deceased daughter, and tears streamed down her face. She sobbed, "My dear daughter, how could she just be gone like this? Heaven! Why are you so blind!"

Upon hearing Wen Wanhong's mother's cries, and remembering the purpose of his visit, Li Xianjin immediately said to her, "Aunt Chen! The main reason we've come here is to ask you, before Wen Wanhong got married, who did she have contact with? Or, to put it another way, who did she have any conflicts with?"

When Li Xianjin asked about Wen Wanhong's life before she got married, Wen Wanhong's mother shook her head and replied, "Officer! My Honghong is very well-behaved. Before she got married, she rarely went out to play. Even when she did go out, it was only with her two classmates. As for getting into a conflict with someone, that's completely impossible."

Upon hearing the information provided by Wen Wanhong's mother, Li Xianjin immediately asked her, "Aunt Chen! You just said that before Wen Wanhong got married, she had a good relationship with two classmates. Do you know the names of those two classmates?"

When Wen Wanhong's mother heard Li Xianjin's question, she responded for a while before answering, "Officer! One of Honghong's two classmates is named Qian Lili, who lives in the grain bureau dormitory not far from our home. The other is named Li Jingjing. As for where she lives, so many years have passed, I don't remember anymore."

Upon hearing the information provided by Wen Wanhong's mother, Li Xianjin immediately wrote down the names of the two people. He then instructed Wen Wanhong's mother, "Aunt Chen! We suspect that the murderer who killed Wen Wanhong may have known her. Therefore, we hope you can try to recall who Wen Wanhong associated with before she got married. This is crucial for us to solve the case."

Hearing Li Xianjin's instructions, Wen Wanhong's mother realized that the murderer who killed her daughter might know her. She nodded and assured Li Xianjin, "Officer! When my children return, I'll ask them if they know who our Honghong was close to before." After leaving Wen Wanhong's parents' house, Li Xianjin immediately instructed Jiang Guomin, "Guomin! Take some men to the Grain Bureau dormitory and invite that woman named Qian Lili to the branch office. Also, remember to ask her where that woman named Li Jingjing lives, and then send someone to invite Li Jingjing here as well."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's instructions, Jiang Guomin immediately nodded and replied respectfully, "Team Leader! I will go to the Grain Bureau dormitory right now to find this female comrade named Qian Lili."

Around noon, Jiang Guomin returned to the branch office with a female colleague. He first had someone take the woman to the office, while he went to Li Xianjin's office and respectfully reported to Li Xianjin: "Team Leader! Qian Lili married and moved to another place two years ago, but we found out about Li Jingjing through Qian Lili's parents and have now brought Li Jingjing back."

Upon learning that Jiang Guomin had brought Li Jingjing back, Li Xianjin immediately stood up from his desk and said to Jiang Guomin as he walked outside, "Guomin! Let's go see Li Jingjing over there."

Soon, Li Xianjin arrived at an office. Li Jingjing, feeling anxious, immediately asked him, "Officers! What brings you here?"

Upon hearing Li Jingjing's question, Li Xianjin realized that Jiang Guomin had not told Li Jingjing about Wen Wanhong's murder. Facing Li Jingjing's question, Li Xianjin asked her seriously, "Comrade Li Jingjing! Do you know Wen Wanhong?"

When Li Jingjing heard Li Xianjin mention Wen Wanhong's name, her anxious expression visibly froze, and she replied with a face full of doubt, "Officer! Wen Wanhong is my classmate and my best friend who grew up with me. You've brought me here to inquire about my relationship with Wen Wanhong. Has something happened to Wen Wanhong?"

Upon hearing Li Jingjing's question, Li Xianjin solemnly introduced her, "Comrade Li Jingjing! Wen Wanhong was murdered the day before yesterday! That's why we invited you here, mainly because..."

"What! Honghong was killed! What exactly happened?" Upon hearing Li Xianjin's words and learning of Wen Wanhong's murder, Li Jingjing's face showed an incredulous expression. Before Li Xianjin could finish speaking, she asked him in shock to confirm the news.

Upon hearing Li Jingjing's question and seeing her shocked expression, Li Xianjin replied with absolute certainty: "Comrade Li Jingjing! This is absolutely true. Wen Wanhong was not only murdered, but also raped and murdered. What's even more hateful is that after killing Wen Wanhong, the murderer used extremely cruel methods to cut off her head."

Upon hearing Li Xianjin's account of Wen Wanhong's death, Li Jingjing's initially shocked face contorted into disbelief, and tears quickly streamed down her face as she murmured sorrowfully, "How could this happen? Honghong was such a good person, someone who would always swallow her pride even when wronged. How could she have met such a cruel end?"
