Chapter 53 Does your younger brother usually cook?
With the cooperation of Liu Chengyu and Fang Duo, Ren Jing finally revealed some information about Zhao Jun. Her younger brother, Ren Fu, had dated Zhao Jun. After her brother jumped off a building and developed health problems, Zhao Jun frequently visited him.
However, Ren Fu had already decided to die, so his attitude towards Zhao Jun was naturally not good.
Although her older sister, Ren Jing, didn't know what had happened, she could roughly guess that it was because of her so-called "Four Golden Flowers."
Because of my connections, my younger brother got to know them, and for a while he even spent a lot of time hanging out with them.
The estrangement between Ren Jing and them can be corroborated by the account in Lin Feifei's novel: they stumbled upon someone having a secret rendezvous, and the other party paid them money to avoid trouble, which caused a rift among them.
Ren Jing felt that these things should not be done, but the other four people disagreed. After all, the money that person gave them was enough for them to catch cicadas for several days.
Ren Jing later discovered that although she had withdrawn, her younger brother had joined, and because of his gender, their success rate was actually higher.
But as the saying goes, if you walk by the river long enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet. One time, her younger brother came home with a bruised and swollen face. After a series of conversations, she learned about the incident and had a big argument with them, strictly forbidding her brother from associating with them again.
Life went on uneventfully until one day, she discovered her brother's savings, which amounted to more than their parents' wages for half a year. She knew then that her brother had not listened to her, and the two siblings parted on bad terms that time.
Later, my younger brother dropped out of school, saying he was working at a seafood shop. I went there during my free time and found Ruan Jinyin there.
One day, while he was at work, the gatehouse received a call from the hospital. His younger brother had jumped from the building, but he survived and would be confined to a wheelchair from now on.
Seeing Zhao Jun busy with all sorts of things, Ren Jing finally softened. In addition, she also had a lot of things to do at home and in the factory, so she accepted Zhao Jun.
To put it bluntly, his younger brother is practically a cripple, and his family has no connections. For him, it's a blessing that a girl would take a liking to him.
But Ren Jing was bound to ask questions about her brother's condition, but both of them were tight-lipped and refused to say anything. Zhao Jun only promised herself that she would tell her the truth and seek justice for her brother, and then disappeared.
......
"Although she can't be sure that the deceased is Zhao Jun, she should already have the answer in her heart!" Liu Chengyu said.
The police questioned Ren Jing repeatedly about the other four people, and given the recent rumors about the mannequin serial killer, she could easily guess the victims' identities.
"Not enough!" Zhou Yang shook his head. "She probably hasn't finished. The way she looked when she came out that night suggested she guessed the killer was Ren Fu, or she saw something!"
Liu Chengyu understood what he meant: "I'll go again!"
"This is a good start; at least it proves she wants to talk!"
Looking at Zhou Yang encouraging him, Liu Chengyu almost fainted, and gave him the back of his head with a haughty look.
Zhou Yang returned to his office, took out the stack of lists again, and sorted them by distance. Just as he was about to explore further, he discovered a problem.
Ren Fu did not take any action last night, but went out today. Is there any necessary connection between these events?
Ren is to go out?
Right!
Zhou Yang slapped his forehead and immediately called out his master, Liu Chengyu, to inform him of Ren's departure. Liu Chengyu's eyes lit up, and he quickly stubbed out his cigarette: "I'll go apply for the signature. Should I take it with me...?"
"Take it with you; maybe it will help you find the clues she discovered!" Zhou Yang suggested.
If a suspect is not at home, but possesses a valid search warrant and has a relative present, it is permissible to enter and search their residence. If either of these conditions is missing, the evidence collected will be deemed invalid.
Liu Chengyu is really efficient. Just as Zhou Yang led Ren Jing to the corridor, he came down from the second floor with a piece of paper in his hand.
After arriving at Ren Jing's residence, Liu Chengyu, along with a colleague from the technical team, first showed Ren Jing the search warrant, read out the reason for the search, and then added...
"According to the law, if we are unable to enter normally, we will take necessary measures to open the door, and the relevant losses will be borne by the public security authorities in accordance with the law."
"No, no!" Ren Jing waved her hands frantically. She didn't understand either; she was at the Municipal Bureau of Public Security when she was brought to her brother's place for this whole ordeal. "I have the key! I have it!"
After saying that, she took out a bunch of keys from her cloth bag and inserted them into the lock of the gate, but after turning them a few times, her face turned slightly embarrassed: "This is... the new lock, I forgot to change the keys!"
Liu Chengyu and Zhou Yang did not expose the truth, but simply signaled the locksmith and Ren Jing to sign the papers before the locksmith opened the door.
"That kid!" Liu Chengyu muttered. Before they came, Zhou Yang had told him that Ren Fu was extremely self-centered and arrogant, and that no one would trust such a person. He suggested that Zhou Yang bring a locksmith with him, but Liu Chengyu hadn't taken it seriously at the time.
Liu Chengyu took the locksmith to the main room to unlock the door, while Zhou Yang followed Ren Jing, keeping a close eye on her expression.
He noticed that the other person's eyes were glancing towards a corner, a hint of doubt in their gaze.
"Alright, come on over here!" Liu Chengyu called out, and Zhou Yang and Ren Jing put on their gear and stepped into Ren Fu's room together.
It's dark and cold!
This is the most direct feeling. When he arrived yesterday, it was evening, and Zhou Yang thought it was because it was late. But now it's July, around nine or ten in the morning, and he still gets this feeling.
The locksmith stood at the door, fiddling with his tools. He couldn't leave without the police; in case there were any hidden doors or safes, he'd have to take action.
The house was small, with only one floor and three rooms. Zhou Yang first led Ren Jing to search each room slowly, while keeping an eye on Ren Jing's face out of the corner of his eye.
Based on his assessment of Ren Fu, there probably wouldn't be any clues left in the room, but this was only from the police's perspective; for Ren Jing, it might not be so.
For ordinary people who have not received training, their eyes and small gestures are the hardest things to hide, and they may even look very unnatural while trying to hide them.
Ren Jing displayed this expression twice after entering the house.
The most recent sighting was in front of the shoe rack where the two were standing. There were three pairs of shoes on it, including two pairs of army green work boots and one pair of white sneakers, none of which looked very new.
"Miss Ren, did you give these shoes to Ren Fu?" Zhou Yang casually picked up the shoes with his gloved hands to examine them.
"I bought...no, I didn't..." Ren Jing shook her head: "I bought him a pair before, but he said he didn't need them and insisted that I return them!"
"Are they black sneakers?" Zhou Yang didn't notice anything unusual about the shoes and put them back on the shelf.
He clearly felt Ren Jing's breathing quicken: "I...I don't know, it's been so long I've forgotten!"
Zhou Yang nodded, seemingly agreeing with her statement: "Actually, these shoes are indeed a bit worn out for your brother!"
For someone like him who uses a wheelchair, there may be poor blood circulation in his feet. These shoes may cause blisters and broken skin due to friction, which can easily lead to ulcers or infections if not noticed.
Furthermore, a pair of clean, well-fitting shoes can give him a sense of respect, that he is a complete person, not a disabled person attracting unnecessary pity!
Ren Jing's eyes flickered: "Yes, I'll buy him another pair when I get back, an expensive pair!"
"By the way, does your brother usually cook?" Zhou Yang pointed towards the kitchen, his gaze fixed on Ren Jing.
