Chapter Twelve Investigation

  "Yes, high-concentration hydrofluoric acid can indeed dissolve a corpse. Once it's dissolved to a certain extent, then processing the remaining residue is relatively easy." Fang You felt that Guo Yining's method should work.

  Wu Hui did not express his opinion, because apart from this method, he could not think of any other way that Liu Chong would make the corpse disappear.

  Thinking of Fan's skeleton being gone, Fang You and Yang Rong felt a pang of sadness. Because Fan's mother was still sitting in the courtyard waiting for her son to return, she never thought that 15 years ago, her son had already died.

  "I don't understand, if Liu Chong could dispose of Fan Ze's body fifteen years ago, why would he now place the victim's body in a moat where it can easily be found." Fang Yu had some doubts about Liu Chong's current method of handling the body.

  "For Fan Se, Liu Chong had no other emotions except anger, but for the two victims, he was angry when killing them, but seeing the dead women made him feel guilty and painful, so he wanted to redeem himself. Since he wanted to redeem himself, he wouldn't destroy their bodies. Another thing is that when he saw the victims' bodies, he thought of his deceased mother and sister, how could he destroy them?" Wu Hui analyzed Liu Chong's psychological changes from a psychological perspective when he killed people.

  "All this is our speculation, once we find evidence and catch Liu Chong, everything will be explained." Guo Yining let Fang You put away the case files, "Fang You, Yang Rong you two go investigate the daughter of the former president of Lincheng University, Liu Chong said Fan Sai and she seem to be in a romantic relationship."

  "Yes." Fang You and Yang Rong packed up their things and headed to Lincheng University.

  "Let's go visit Liu Chong's wife Wang He," said Guo Yining to Wu Hui.

  Wu Hui nodded and left with Guo Yining.

  Fang You and Yang Rong found out that the daughter of the former president of Lincheng University was named Lin Min, who was also a teacher at Lincheng University. In the year Fan Sai disappeared, she resigned as a teacher and went into business, now she is the general manager of Lin's Trading Company.

  There were two people who arrived at the front desk of Lin's Trading Company. The receptionist was a young woman in her twenties.

  There were two people at the front desk, who politely asked: "Hello, what can I help you with?"

  They said their intention, "We want to see your general manager, Lin Min."

  "Do you have an appointment?"

  Yang Rongbai took out his ID card and said, "We are police officers. We have some questions to ask you, Mr. Lin."

  The receptionist checked the documents, confirmed that they were police officers and said "Please wait for a moment." Then she dialed Lin Min's office phone number. "Director Lin, there are two police officers outside who say they have something to see you about. Okay, got it."

  "Two guests, General Lin is waiting for you in the office." After hanging up the phone, the receptionist walked out from behind the counter and led the two people to Lin Min's office.

  Lin Min's company rented a floor in this building, and judging by its scale, it doesn't seem very small.

  When the two saw Lin Min, their first impression of this woman was that she was capable and efficient. Although Lin Min was already over 40 years old, her figure was extremely slender and fashionable, making her look like a woman in her thirties. With the passage of time, she exuded the charm of a mature woman, with a lingering elegance and a unique flavor.

  "What can I do for you?" Lin Min let the two sit on the sofa, she sat in her own office chair, and then asked the secretary to pour two glasses of water for them.

  "We want to ask about Fan Ze's situation." Fang You got straight to the point and asked directly.

  "Vanse? Are you referring to the Vanse who went missing fifteen years ago?" Lin Min didn't find Fang Hai's question strange at all.

  "Right, we heard that you and Fan Ze were in a romantic relationship back then, is that true?"

  "It's not a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship." Lin Min denied that she and Fan Si were in a romantic relationship. "He is my fiancé."

  "Fiancé?" Fang had indeed never thought they were in this kind of relationship.

  Lin Min said, starting to talk about Fan Ze Lai, as if telling someone else's story, "There's nothing surprising, although he was a few years older than me at the time, but he was mature and steady, and honest and down-to-earth. I thought he was someone who could be trusted for life, but who knew that you can't judge a person by their appearance, and I was deceived by his exterior."

  "Can you be more specific?"

  Lin Min didn't have anything to hide about this matter either. After all, many years had passed and although she had hated him back then, she should be over it by now. "Back then, not many people in school knew about our relationship because of my special identity. He was worried that others would say he was taking advantage of me, so we decided not to make our relationship public. Now that I think about it, he probably didn't want to make our relationship public for other reasons."

  Recalling the scenes of the two together in those years, Lin Min felt that she was really stupid at that time. Yes, when people are in love, their IQ drops a lot.

  "What reason?"

  "What's the reason? Didn't you investigate clearly? Fan Ze and his female student had a special relationship, didn't they even cause a loss of life back then?" Lin Min knew that since Fang You had investigated her identity, they should also have investigated Fan Ze's matter very clearly.

  Fang You cleared his throat awkwardly, "When Fan Si disappeared back then, didn't you look for him?"

  "He chose to leave without a word, why should I continue to bother you, do you think I'm that kind of cheap woman?" Lin Min pointed at herself and asked Fang You, she hated being nagged the most.

  "So you're saying that after Fan Ze disappeared, you haven't been in contact with each other?" Yang Rong asked, feeling a bit angry at Lin Min's impoliteness.

  "No." Lin Min looked at Yang Rong and then replied.

  "Then think back, was there anything unusual about Fan Ze's behavior before he went missing?" Fang You continued to ask.

  "Abnormal behavior? How can he still live a normal life after causing such a big commotion, worrying about losing his job, worrying about being gossiped about, worrying that our marriage will be ruined, he has too many things to worry about. But what's the use of worrying about these things, when he chose to be with that woman in the first place, shouldn't he have thought about this outcome? Bringing up Fan Ze's despicable actions really makes Lin Min uncomfortable."

  "Do you think he would have suicidal tendencies at that time?" Yang Rong thought that a nearly forty-year-old man, if his work and family were to disappear overnight, his psychology should be unbearable.

  "Suicide? How is that possible. He loved himself so much, how could he possibly commit suicide, he absolutely wouldn't do something like that." Fanse came from the countryside and then found a good job, with very strong self-esteem and self-abasement psychology, but he absolutely wouldn't do anything to harm himself.

  "When was your last meeting and what did you say?"

  "The last time we met, it was probably the third day after the incident. Before that, I had been avoiding him and didn't want to see him. Later, he waited for me at my doorstep, asking me to forgive him. After going through this, he still had the face to ask for my forgiveness. Of course, I refused him. I told him not to come looking for me again, and then I drove away. He did listen to me on that one thing - he didn't come looking for me again. Until now, he hasn't appeared in front of me again."

  Lin Min was indeed very angry at the time, and what she said was inevitably a bit harsh. It was all because of her own self-esteem. If Fan Ze had asked for her forgiveness a few more times, maybe she would have really forgiven him. But he never appeared again.

  "Alright, we won't disturb you then." Yang Rong stood up, Lin Min seemed to have already opened up about this matter, but as a woman, Yang Rong could tell that Lin Min still hated Fan Sai, maybe she had loved him deeply back then, so even after all these years, she couldn't forget him.

  Yang Rong remained silent after leaving Lin's Trading Company. Fang You knew that Lin Minsheng's overbearing attitude had made Yang Rong uncomfortable, but she was new and would get used to it after a few years.

  Yang Rong was not actually angry because of Lin Min's matter, but it was seeing Lin Min's condescending gaze towards Fang Han that made her feel stifled. Another reason was that she found herself having more and more feelings for Fang Han, which made her uncomfortable.

  She liked men like Wu Hui, not Fang You. Why is she paying so much attention to him now? Is it because of the illusion created by being with Fang You for the past few days? Yes, it must be an illusion. How could she possibly like him?

  Yang Rong's self-hypnosis seemed to have worked, and she felt that she had figured out why she had been having a strange feeling these past few days. It was just the friendship between colleagues. "Fang You, do you think we're good buddies?"

  Seeing Yang Rong's strange smile, Fang You immediately became vigilant. This smile made him a bit panicked. "What do you want? I'm telling you, don't do anything that violates the rules."

  "What are you thinking about, good brother? From now on, we'll be a great team. We'll share the good times and bad times together, right? How about it, are you hungry? Let's go eat something." As she spoke, Yang Rong placed one hand on Fang You's shoulder.

  Seeing Yang Rong's unusual appearance, Fang You seemed to understand, "If you want me to treat you, just say so, why say these things? I'll tell you, don't order anything expensive, I don't have that much money."

  "Don't worry, go eat noodles, how is it?" Yang Rong didn't explain the misunderstanding about Fang either, as long as he didn't think in that direction.

  "Alright, let's just eat something casual and then head back to report to the captain." Fang You patted his own pocket, fortunately he had brought a few dozen yuan when he went out today, otherwise it would be embarrassing.

  Lin Min watched as Fang You and the others left, her expression gradually becoming terrifying. Her tightly clenched fists dug her fingernails into her flesh, but she didn't feel a thing. Fifteen years ago, they were still investigating that case. Couldn't that man really disappear from his own life? Wasn't it enough to torment her for over a decade?

  "Vanessa, oh Vanessa, you are the greatest shame of my life..."
