Police Chief's Anti-Organized Crime Storm

Chapter 12 Resurrection from the Dead

Lu Xiujuan remained silent. She knew very well that once she handed over the evidence in her hands, it would mean that the investigation into the death of the previous county magistrate, Gao Lan, would be reopened immediately. However, Gao Lan's body had already been cremated, and she only had a report in her hand. How could she prove the authenticity of this report, and how could she prove that she was not lying?

Without concrete evidence, he might end up being falsely accused, unable to avenge County Magistrate Gao Lan, and even implicated himself.

Seeing that she was looking at her without saying anything, Lin Ying was not in a hurry. She just looked out the window, wondering if Duan Fei's situation was going well. It was not easy to snatch someone from a group of more than a dozen policemen, but with Duan Fei's abilities, he should be able to do it.

"By the way, how many people did they bring to kidnap your mother?" Lin Ying suddenly asked.

"I...I don't know."

"Do you know who the other party is?" Lin Ying asked again. Lu Xiujuan's eyes flickered, and she didn't dare to voice her guess. She didn't know if the new female director in front of her was really there for Gao Lan.

"You can rest assured, Director Lin is here because of the deaths of the three previous county magistrates. They will not have died in vain. Director Lin is under orders from above and will investigate everything and give them justice." Xu Pangzi's words made Lu Xiujuan's heart pound, but she still did not speak.

"I've seen the case file for Gao Lan's case. She didn't commit suicide; she was murdered in her home, right?" Lin Ying's words made Lu Xiujuan's head buzz. She looked at Lin Ying in disbelief, her body trembling slightly. She hadn't seen the case file, but she was certain that it stated suicide because Liu Yixiong had forced her to sign and stamp the autopsy report.

Lu Xiujuan lowered her head, not daring to look at Lin Ying. She knew that she had done something that betrayed County Magistrate Gao Lan and something that went against her conscience. However, if she did not sign, she might not even be able to leave the forensic room. Therefore, she had no choice but to compromise.

She hadn't expected Lin Ying to come to such a conclusion, but how did she know?

"I reviewed all the records from Gao Lan's tenure. It's highly unlikely that she would accept bribes. Her family was well-off, so there was no need for her to accept bribes. Moreover, it doesn't make sense that she would be tormented by her conscience for a mere million. Therefore, there must be more to her death than meets the eye."

Hearing this, Lu Xiujuan finally couldn't sit still any longer. Such an obvious flaw could be found if one was determined to investigate. However, Gao Lan's body had already been cremated, and all the evidence had been destroyed, making it almost impossible to find any useful evidence.

Seeing that she still didn't speak, Fatty Xu became a little anxious. Lin Ying gestured to him with her eyes to calm down. She still didn't press Lu Xiujuan for answers, but just looked out the window. It was getting even darker.

"After picking up your mother, where do you plan to go? Are you leaving Gaoshan County?" Lin Ying asked Lu Xiujuan casually.

"Yes, I'm going to take her away, far away," Lu Xiujuan said, revealing her true feelings.

"You're a forensic pathologist. If I'm not mistaken, you should have Gao Lan's autopsy report, the real one, right?"

Lu Xiujuan shuddered violently, looking at Lin Ying in surprise. She had to admit, the other woman's guess was indeed accurate. A sense of unease crept into her heart.

However, at this moment, there was another person who was just as uneasy as Lu Xiujuan.

Looking at the documents in his hand, Ma Guoliang was completely stunned, his eyes fixed on the person in the photo, as if trying to glean some information from their face. However, the photo in the document was just a photo.

However, Ma Guoliang still felt a chill run down his spine. He stared blankly at the photo in his hand. How could this be?

He then took out a photo of the deceased former county magistrate, Gao Lan, stared intently at the two photos, comparing them back and forth, feeling a thousand curses running through his mind.

The two photos in his hand showed people who looked almost identical.

Ma Guoliang was completely dumbfounded. The face in front of him was almost a resurrected version of Gao Lan. Could it be that she had come back to life?

But I just had her body cremated a few days ago! How could this be?

Ma Guoliang quickly took out his phone and dialed, but his hands were shaking so badly that he slipped from his grip several times. Fortunately, it fell onto the sofa. He quickly picked it up again and dialed Liu Yixiong's number: "Hey, Lao Liu, is it confirmed that Gao Lan's body has been cremated?"

"Ah, he was cremated? I saw him being pushed into the furnace with my own eyes!" Liu Yixiong was puzzled, not understanding what Ma Guoliang meant.

Ma Guoliang finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he still felt uneasy. He quickly took a picture of the photo in his hand and sent it over, leaving a message for Liu Yixiong: "Old Liu, take a look, who does she look like?"

When Liu Yixiong received the photo, he found it unbelievable. He didn't understand what Secretary Ma was up to, sending him a photo of a dead person.

"Secretary Ma, isn't this that woman? What's wrong with you?" Liu Yixiong wondered if Ma Guoliang was acting strangely these past few days.

However, what the other party said next almost scared Liu Yixiong to death.

"This is a photo of Lin Ying, the newly appointed Public Security Bureau Chief and Acting County Head."

"What?" Liu Yixiong was so shocked that he stood up abruptly, staring at his phone screen as if he had seen a ghost. He felt a chill run down his spine. The photo of the new Director Lin? How could this be?

He stared intently at the screen, trembling with fear.

Could it be that Gao Lan didn't die? Impossible! I clearly saw her being pushed into the furnace with my own eyes. She must have been burned to death, completely burned to ashes. How could she not be dead?

Ma Guoliang felt that Lin Ying might be the biggest variable in his life. For some reason, he was vaguely afraid. This Lin Ying was too strange, and she looked too much like Gao Lan. Could there be some connection between them?

At the hotel, Lu Xiujuan looked at Lin Ying and finally made up her mind. Her gaze towards Lin Ying was somewhat strange: "Director Lin, do you know? You look a lot like someone."

Fatty Xu looked at her with some doubt, but Lin Ying slowly nodded: "I know, I've seen a picture of County Magistrate Gao Lan, and we do look very similar, but so far, I haven't found out what relationship I have with her."

"What?" Fatty Xu stood up abruptly, looking at Lin Ying in disbelief. For a moment, his head was spinning.

Director Lin looks very much like the deceased County Magistrate Gao Lan. How is that possible?

Fatty Xu hadn't seen Gao Lan's photo, so he was unaware of this matter.

"I think it might be preordained that Magistrate Gao Lan did not commit suicide, but was murdered. That is why you came back to avenge him and clear his name."

Lu Xiujuan's words made Lin Ying glance at her, but she didn't reply. She didn't know if she had any relationship with Gao Lan. Her mother hadn't returned yet. Could it be that she really didn't have the surname Lin? Was her original surname Gao, and her name Gao Ying?

So many years have passed since this incident. Could it be that what those people said back then was true, and what Dad said was also true?

But if it's true, why didn't Mom admit it? Why did she keep it from her for so many years?
