Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

Chapter 493 The truth is about to surface
Liu Jian, male, 37 years old.

Seven years ago, he worked as secretary of Tan Sipei.

After Tan Sipei committed suicide three years ago, he was imprisoned for half a year and then released after confirming that there was no problem.

But because of Tan Sipei, he lost his job and is currently working as an administrator in the Chenming Street Archives.

Married with two daughters and one son.

After leaving the hospital, information about Tan Sipei's secretary appeared in Li Weidong's mind.

Before Xu Youcheng talked about Tan Sipei's nephew helping to get the medicine, and after telling the general appearance of the other party, Li Weidong thought of Liu Jian.

It's just that whether the other party is Tan Sipei's so-called nephew, as long as you see him, you will know.

Half an hour later, Li Weidong came to the Chenming Street Archives.

This place is located in a corner of the yard, and it looks inconspicuous. On a heavy iron door, there is a sign of the archives room.

Li Weidong stepped forward to knock on the door, and after more than ten seconds, a hoarse voice came from inside, and then a somewhat different footstep approached.

Swish.

The door is opened.

A middle-aged man with pale complexion, thin face and high cheekbones was revealed.

More importantly, the other party wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. The glass of the left glass had several cracks, and the arms of the glasses were also connected together with wire.

Behind those glasses, there are a pair of godless eyes.

He has black and white hair and looks about 50 years old.

In addition, his body's center of gravity obviously falls on one of the legs, and the other leg, standing on tiptoe, looks abnormal.

If he just looked at the other party's appearance, it would be hard for Li Weidong to believe that the other party was the Liu Jian he was looking for.

After all, three years ago, as Tan Sipei's secretary, he didn't say he had a bright future, but at Tan Sipei's level, as long as he followed him for a few years, he might not be unable to make a bright future.

But now, all Li Weidong saw was defeat.

"Liu Jian?"

"you are?"

Liu Jian looked at Li Weidong suspiciously.

From the few people who stood guard not far away, he knew that the young man in front of him was not an ordinary person.

"Level [-] investigator, Li Weidong, came to you to investigate the case of Tan Sipei's suicide three years ago."

Li Weidong directly showed his work permit, and he didn't even hide the purpose of coming here. He clearly wanted to use this to test the other party's attitude.

If you mention it suddenly without psychological preparation, you will undoubtedly be able to 'see' more things.

Hearing Li Weidong's words, Liu Jian, who was originally puzzled, suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Li Weidong in disbelief, even showing a trace of fear on his face.

And his performance undoubtedly explained a lot of problems.

"Won't you invite me in to talk?"

Li Weidong kept Liu Jian's fear in his heart, and glanced at the limp leg of the other party without any trace.

"Please, please come in."

Liu Jian took a deep breath, suppressed the many expressions on his face, then let the door open, and limped to lead Li Weidong inside.

There are two rooms behind the iron door, and the surrounding shelves are filled with various file bags and books.

In the narrow space, there is a table, and at this moment a stump of candle is burning.

But after inviting Li Weidong to come in, Liu Jian turned on the light, and then stepped forward to blow out the candles.

The light bulb is not very bright, exuding a dim yellow light, but it is much brighter than using candles before.

"Liu Jian, as Tan Sipei's secretary, do you think he committed suicide?"

After Li Weidong came in, he looked around, then looked at Liu Jian and asked.

"Yes."

Liu Jian answered without the slightest hesitation, and insisted, as if he thought so in his heart.

But in fact, Li Weidong's perception told him that the other party's words were insincere.

It's just that Li Weidong didn't expose him, but continued to ask: "Before I came here, I went to Dr. Xu Youcheng, and I learned from him that before Tan Sipei committed suicide, you used his nephew to buy painkillers." ,Yeah?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, and I don't know Xu Youcheng."

Liu Jian was silent for a few seconds, then shook her head.

But his answer made Li Weidong confirm in his heart that Liu Jian in front of him was the nephew of Tan Sipei that Xu Youcheng said.

Although the other party tried his best to maintain the expression on his face, his answer could not be hidden from Li Weidong at all.

"Did your leg be broken during the six months of detention, or after you were released?"

Li Weidong did not correct Liu Jian's lie, but changed the topic again, and the change was so fast that it was a bit hard to keep up.

Liu Jian suppressed the doubt in her heart and replied, "My leg was accidentally broken when I was walking after get off work."

"Broken while walking?"

Li Weidong shook his head, and Liu Jian's answer actually told him the answer.

Since it was off work, it must have been interrupted after it was released.

As for breaking?
Obviously, someone wanted to use this to remind Liu Jian to shut up.

Otherwise, it would not be a broken leg.

As for why he didn't kill anyone, I guess he didn't want to attract suspicion.

After all, when Liu Jian was released, it was already half a year later. At that time, the dust about Tan Sipei's suicide had already been settled.

Who cares about a dead man's secretary?

"During the six months you were imprisoned, did anyone ask you about Si Pei taking painkillers?"

Li Weidong continued to ask.

"No."

Liu Jian denied it again, but he didn't dare to look into Li Weidong's eyes, because he felt that the other party's eyes seemed to be able to see his heart, and he didn't have any privacy.

Even the words I answered before did not hide the truth from the other party.

And it is.

Including his current answer, he is still lying.

"Talking about Si Pei's suicide, does it have anything to do with you?"

At this time, Li Weidong asked a more important question.

And Liu Jian's expression was also in a trance. After a few seconds, he shook his head vigorously: "No!"

This time, his voice was firm.

Li Weidong could also sense that this time, he didn't lie.

In other words, Tan Sipei's suicide was not caused by Liu Jian, but Li Weidong did not let him go.

As Tan Sipei's secretary, Liu Jian was able to act as a nephew to help the other party get painkillers, which also showed that he was deeply trusted by Tan Sipei. If Tan Sipei had any secrets, then Liu Jian would most likely know.

What Li Weidong has to do now is to peel off the cocoon and find the real answer from those hidden clues.

And he felt that he was very close to the truth, and even had some conjectures in his heart, but they still needed to be verified.

"Liu Jian, do you want to know the truth about Tan Sipei's suicide? Do you just want to watch him be slandered after death? Leave him charged as a traitor? As his secretary, he trusts you a lot, don't you Just watch?

Or, have you been scared out of your wits long ago and dare not find out the real murderer?Don't dare to rectify Tan Sipei's name? "

Li Weidong spoke slowly, every word he said seemed to re-open Liu Jian's wound.

And Liu Jian's complexion became more and more ugly, her breathing was heavy, and her hands were clenched tightly, as if she was trying her best to endure something.

"Actually, you don't have to doubt my identity. I can also tell you clearly that Tan Sipei did not commit suicide at all. He was killed by someone. Now I am ordered to re-examine the old case three years ago in order to repay Tan Sipei. Cultivate an innocence."

Li Weidong could feel Liu Jian's inner struggle, so he simply added to the fire.

"Why should I trust you?"

Liu Jian stared at Li Weidong.

And his uttering this sentence undoubtedly proves that he knows some secrets, and even the truth.

"Before I came here, I met Guo Zhaolin. He told me that Tan Sipei had shrapnel in his body and needed to take painkillers all year round. He also told me that Tan Sipei's daughter was adopted, not his own. Si Pei's left hand writes more beautifully than his right hand.

Guo Zhaolin told me that he believed that Tan Sipei's character was not that kind of double-faced.

Is this answer enough? "

Li Weidong's words made Liu Jian's eyes shine brightly, and the originally cloudy eyes became a little sharper, as if the whole person was alive, and the emptiness and dead silence before were no longer seen.

"You know what? I've been waiting for this day for three years."

Liu Jian's voice was hysterical, relieved, and joyful.

"I knew from the very beginning that Uncle Tan didn't commit suicide, but I didn't have any proof, and the situation was so chaotic, I didn't dare to speak nonsense at all, and I even felt that once I told what I knew, I'm afraid I'd see you Less than the sun of the next day.

During the six months I was imprisoned, someone tried me a few times. I could only pretend that I didn’t know anything. I wasn’t afraid of death, but if I died, Uncle Tan would have to suffer injustice for the rest of his life, so I had to survive.

It's just that I don't have the ability to clean up Uncle Tan's innocence, and I don't know who to trust, so I can only keep this secret in my heart. "

"Don't worry, I can assure you that I will definitely find out the people behind the scenes and make Si Pei innocent."

Li Weidong said solemnly.

At the same time, he was also slightly relieved, and his brows were slightly tired.

Compared with Guo Zhaolin, this Liu Jian is obviously more defensive towards strangers. Li Weidong's constant verbal attacks, coupled with emotional exaggeration, managed to break through the opponent's psychological defense.

"Uncle Tan's body has gradually collapsed due to taking that painkiller for many years. Just over a month before he was killed, he suddenly became silent, sometimes in a trance, and lost his mind.

When I found out about his condition, I thought he was not feeling well, so I advised him to go to the hospital, but he refused, saying that he was running out of time.

At that time, I had a bad feeling.

Later, by accident, I discovered that Uncle Tan seemed to have secretly met someone. "

Speaking of this, Liu Jian seemed to be lost in memory.

Although Li Weidong wanted to know who Tan Sipei met, he didn't bother him and let Liu Jian recall.

It took half a minute before Liu Jian came back to his senses, and continued: "Half a month after that incident, it was cloudy and rainy, and I found that Uncle Tan had finished taking his medicine, so I went to help him get it again." Some.

But after I took it back, Uncle Tan didn't take it, and even told me that he had already managed to quit those medicines, and he didn't need to take them anymore.

Knowing this news, I am both happy for Uncle Tan, but also full of doubts.

After all, I once asked Dr. Xu, and he told me that given the time Uncle Tan took the medicine, it was impossible to quit. Even if the shrapnel in his body could be taken out, it would be too late.

But Uncle Tan vowed that he would definitely be able to quit, and that it was cloudy and rainy, Uncle Tan did not take the medicine I brought back.

At first I suspected that Uncle Tan didn't want me to worry, and took it secretly by himself, but I searched all over the house and his office, but I didn't see any similar medicine.

Although Uncle Tan said that he was getting better soon, I found that he spent more and more time distracted, and sometimes fell asleep while sitting.

I instinctively sensed something was wrong, so I followed Uncle Tan quietly.

Until one time, I saw Uncle Tan went to a church. "

"church?"

Li Weidong's eyes narrowed immediately.

"The name and address of that church."

Li Weidong asked immediately.

"Feng'an Street, Lu Siyi Church, a small Catholic church, the priest in it is called Kenny Burke, I have inquired quietly, he has some medical skills, and occasionally heals the diseases of nearby people, and has a good reputation good.

Because of the identity of the other party, at first I also thought that the other party could really cure Uncle Tan.

It's just that Uncle Tan's abnormality made me a little worried, so I secretly consulted some doctors, but the conclusions I got were all impossible.

So I suspect something is wrong inside.

It's just that before I could investigate clearly, I heard the news that Uncle Tan committed suicide, and then I was arrested.

But I have always buried this matter in my heart and never told anyone. "

Like venting, Liu Jian spoke out all she knew about the situation.

"It's all my fault. If I had stopped Uncle Tan earlier, or found someone to arrest him earlier, maybe Uncle Tan would not have died."

"It's none of your business."

Li Weidong shook his head. After Liu Jian said all these things, the thread in Li Weidong's heart was connected end to end. The truth about Tan Sipei's suicide finally surfaced, and it was basically consistent with what he expected.

To some extent, Tan Sipei did commit suicide, but it wasn't suicide either.

It may sound like a contradiction, but it is.

As for the verification, it is also simple, as long as you find the priest of Kenny Burke.

"Can you really clear up Uncle Tan's grievances and clear his name?"

At this time, Liu Jian suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Weidong.

"In the past three years, although I have stayed here most of the time, I occasionally went to the street, and then pretended to pass by Feng'an Street. I can be sure that Kenny Burke has not left yet. You just need to catch him The other party will know the truth about Uncle Tan's death."

"Don't worry, the other party will definitely not be able to escape. Besides, did Tan Sipei leave anything behind? Or did he say anything strange to you before committing suicide?"

Li Weidong asked again.

He always felt that it was impossible for someone like Tan Sipei to leave no clues.

After all, he had been by Guo Zhaolin's side for many years, and with his status, he would often keep a few extra hands for himself, just in case.

"Leave what? Strange words?"

When Liu Jian heard Li Weidong's question, he was stunned for a moment, and then he began to think again.
