Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 249 New clues
"Who killed them? From what you just said, you mean their superiors abandoned them, that their superiors killed them? Why?"

Liang Ran asked.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at him.

Su Miaoyi and the others were listening outside, and they all thought that Liang Ran's memory was pretty good. He was so scared and shocked just now, but he still remembered every word he said.

“They’re being watched by the police, and keeping them around risks exposing them,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Their swift action suggests that Xing Chang and Chang Yong must know something crucial.

Liang Ran remained silent, looking at Zhuang Yanzheng.

Seeing that he was deep in thought, Zhuang Yanzheng remained silent.

After a while, Liang Ran suddenly said, "I saw a phone number on Xing Chang's phone. It wasn't saved in the contacts, it was an unfamiliar number, a Jinghai number. When he saw that number, his reaction was a little different."

“We were playing games at an internet cafe when that call came in. Xing Chang immediately took off his headphones, covered the phone upside down, and then muted it. It was like he was worried that someone would see us.”

Liang Ran recalled the scene: "Xing Chang stood up, and Chang Yong looked up at him. Xing Chang also turned to look at him. Xing Chang's body was blocking me, so I couldn't see their expressions. But I think they communicated something through their eyes, and then Xing Chang went out to answer the phone."

“He went out to take a long phone call, almost an hour. I wanted to go to the bathroom in the middle of it, and as soon as I stood up, Changyong immediately stood up after me. It startled me. I said I was going to the bathroom, and Changyong said he was going too. He went out with me and came back with me.”

"I didn't think much of it at the time, but now that I think about it, it seems like he was monitoring me a bit, probably worried about what I might see or hear when I went out."

After Liang Ran finished speaking, he gave her a phone number.

Zhuang Yanzheng wrote down the phone number: "Are you sure this is the right phone number?"

“I’m sure,” Liang Ran said. “I’ve seen it before. I won’t forget or misremember what I’ve seen.”

Zhuang Yanzheng handed the written phone number to the policeman standing by the door and asked him to deliver it to the technical department.

He asked, "Didn't you find it strange at the time?"

“No,” Liang Ran said. “We had only met a short time then, and the two of them were so kind to me. I thought it was because Chang Yong was paying too much attention to me, always watching my every move, and wanted to keep me company. Because I am usually quite lonely, I thought he wanted to stay with me and eliminate my loneliness.”

Zhuang Yanzheng: "."

“Liang Ran gives me the feeling that he’s intelligent in bursts,” Su Miaoyi said.

"No matter what the emotion, when you're in a frenzy, your intelligence drops to almost zero," Qi Feng said.

Several people looked at him, sensing the story unfolding.

However, this wasn't the time for gossip, so the group immediately turned their attention to the interrogation room.

"If you're not lying to me."

Before Liang Ran could finish speaking, Zhuang Yanzheng frowned and interrupted, saying sternly, "This is the Municipal Public Security Bureau, I am a police officer!"

Trusting scammers more than the police? What are you thinking?

Liang Ran paused for two seconds before continuing, "If they really approached me to scam me out of money, I find that time very suspicious now. That phone call was also very suspicious."

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at him. "I was scammed, but they were with me for a long time, and I was very happy during that time, so I'll just consider it money I paid for. I've said before, I don't care at all whether I was scammed or not. I considered them my friends, and since my friend was murdered, I hope I can help find the killer."

After leaving the interrogation room, the technical department had already located the user of that phone number.

Feng Ruihao, male, 45 years old, from Jinghai, is the owner of a building materials factory.

Zhuang Yanzheng ordered Qi Feng to take some men to bring him back.

Another piece of news is that the other party has already discovered that the game they found has been compromised and their account access has been compromised, so they immediately took measures to strengthen their defenses.

It's likely that those people who found those IP addresses have taken measures to escape.

In the past, the police would most likely have come up empty-handed.

We're already racing against time, so now all we can do is wait for the outcome.

Everyone went to the office.

"Liang Ran's memory is amazing," Chu Xingrou exclaimed.

Su Miaoyi nodded: "From what we can see, this isn't the first time Xing Chang and Chang Sheng have scammed Huang Chen and Ji Jiabao. So why did they resort to such a low-level real-name scam? It's a far cry from guiding them to play that game."

“Liang Ran’s case is like a programmed scam. Everything is done step by step, as if it was all arranged by someone. Xing Chang and his team were responsible for carrying out the steps. They would guide people to the game and then brainwash them to get them to take out their money,” Yan Cheng said. “Huang Chen’s case, on the other hand, is more like a spur-of-the-moment scam. It’s more like something that Xing Chang and Chang Yong did on their own.”

"Could there be some internal problem?" Su Miaoyi suddenly said. "Are they planning to run away after finishing this job with Huang Chen? After all, Qiang'an Group is very wealthy and is a well-known name in Jinghai. If Huang Chen's card hadn't been suspended, he might have transferred a lot of money to Xing Chang and the others at once."

“Possibly,” Lu Zhishen said. “He set his sights on a ‘princeling,’ but unexpectedly, the ‘princeling’ didn’t have much money. He didn’t manage to swindle anything and even lost his life.”

Zhuang Yanzheng also said, "Xing Chang and Chang Yong's accounts had a lot of cash flow, but the amount of money in the accounts wasn't that much. According to the cash flow records, they also distributed money on time, like getting paid, with the money deposited into their bank cards at specific times. However, in the last two months, the amount in the bank card used to receive the money has decreased, and the payments have become unreliable. So it's very likely that the two of them ran away after completing this job. But how did they know which ward Xing Chang and Chang Yong were in? And how were they so familiar with the location of their wounds?"

"If these two people wanted to run away after completing this job, would they still reveal their location to others? Wouldn't they be worried about someone coming to kill them? How did they know such detailed information?"

"People from the hospital?" Su Miaoyi thought for a moment and asked.

“But we’ve questioned all the doctors, nurses, and even the cleaning staff in the department, and we haven’t found anyone suspicious,” Chu Xingrou said.

"Who else could it be?" Lu Zhishen asked.

“Patients and their families in the inpatient ward,” Yan Cheng said. “The doctors’ medical records are very detailed. You can see them on the computer; you can even see the location of the wound in the ward. If you’re interested, you can see them. Someone can even blend in and pretend to be a patient’s family member to go to the doctor’s office and ask some questions, and then they can see them too.”

“There are just too many people,” Chu Xingrou said. “And if they’re faking it, it’ll be even harder to find them.”

"Check the surveillance footage, specifically the footage of people entering and leaving the doctor's office, starting from the time Xing Chang and Chang Yong were admitted to the hospital," Su Miaoyi said.

“Okay,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Let’s go now.”

　She has a fever again.

　　Everyone needs to be careful and pay close attention lately.

　　Goodnight everybody.
