Chapter 642: Chapter 355: This Is the Backup Plan!

After a brief discussion of the case, Jiang An spoke gravely, ”Captain, I believe the urgent matter is to immediately go to the deceased’s home for an in-depth investigation.”

”We need to clarify the specific relationship between the deceased and Li Chuang, especially the extent of their relationship.”

”This could very well be the key breakthrough in our next step of interrogation.”

The suggestion was immediately met with unanimous agreement from those present.

Li Jian and Zhang Chao nodded in approval simultaneously.

Li Jian said, ”This entry point is indeed valuable, and should be able to uncover significant clues.”

Immediately, Jiang An led Wan and Zhang Yean to set off.

Half an hour later, the police car came to a steady stop in front of the yard gate.

Hearing the sound of the car engine, the deceased’s parents and wife came out to greet them.

This unresolved case had always been a heavy burden on their hearts.

Now seeing the police reopen the investigation, their faces were full of hope and gratitude.

As Jiang An opened the car door and stepped out, hope glimmered in the eyes of the deceased’s wife.

”Mr. Jiang, please come in and sit down.”

Jiang An nodded slightly in salute as the three followed the host into the yard.

In the yard, they sat down on the stone benches.

The deceased’s wife soon brought three cups of steaming green tea.

”Thank you for your hard work, officers. Please have some tea to quench your thirst.”

Jiang An accepted the teacup, saying gently, ”Thank you, there’s no need to be too polite.”

”We’re here this time primarily to understand the situation.”

”Anything you need us to cooperate on, please feel free to ask.”

The deceased’s father raised his cloudy eyes, his voice slightly hoarse.

Jiang An set down the teacup and said solemnly, ”We want to know in detail, what was your son’s relationship with Li Chuang in the village before his death?”

Just as he spoke, a comforting smile appeared on the deceased’s mother’s face.

”Chuangzi was great! They grew up together from a very young age.”

”As they grew older, they were even more supportive of each other, especially after our son passed away, Chuangzi would come to help every now and then.”

”He’d rush to do the farm work and heavy tasks at home, never once uttering a ’no’.”

The deceased’s wife also nodded repeatedly in agreement, ”Yes, Chuangzi has been very good to our family, really no complaints.”

”He’s especially taken care of us over the past two years, running around helping.”

”Back when my husband was alive, they were inseparable, always supporting each other.”

Listening, Jiang An nodded thoughtfully.

He keenly sensed that this kind of unwarranted excessive help might possibly hide a sense of guilt after murder.

Maybe Li Chuang was using this method to alleviate his sense of guilt.

However, this speculation couldn’t be disclosed to the elderly yet.

Jiang An calmly continued to probe, ”Since Li Chuang and your son were so close, did your son provide Li Chuang any significant help during his lifetime?”

At this, the deceased’s wife suddenly remembered something, saying excitedly, ”Of course he did!”

”Back when Li Chuang was getting married, his family was dirt poor, couldn’t even scrape together the bride price.”

”If we hadn’t lent him twenty thousand yuan we’d saved over the years, the marriage might’ve been canceled.”

”That’s right,”

The deceased’s mother took over the conversation, reminiscing, ”Later, when his father was hospitalized, us two elders took out our savings of eight thousand yuan.”

”This kid has been grateful and repaid the kindness, hasn’t stopped helping us over the years.”

Once the elderly started talking, they couldn’t stop.

She continued, ”I still remember one summer in the city, Li Chuang went swimming in the river with a few youngsters and suddenly got a cramp, looked like he was about to sink.”

”My son didn’t even hesitate and jumped in, dragging him up.”

”Had he not responded in time, Li Chuang might’ve been...”

Jiang An listened while quickly jotting down these critical details in his notebook.

These seemingly ordinary old stories might very well become crucial weapons in the interrogation room to break down a suspect’s psychological defenses for a seasoned detective.

After a brief silence, the deceased’s mother added, ”Chuangzi really is a good young man.”

”When my son passed away, he arranged the funeral, even helped choose the burial place.”

Jiang An aptly guided the topic, ”Besides these, was there anything else important between them?”

”Or perhaps something special between the two families?”

The deceased’s wife pondered for a moment and answered, ”Other than those, it was just usual interactions.”

”However, our families are indeed close, supporting each other with big and small matters.”

”It’s not just the brothers, our families have a particularly good relationship.”

......

Meanwhile, in the office on the third floor of the criminal investigation team, amidst the swirling smoke, Li Jian and the instructor Zhang Chao sat opposite each other silently smoking.

The spacious office only had the two of them, even their breathing sounds were clearly audible.

Instructor Zhang Chao lightly tapped the cigarette in his hand on the edge of the ashtray, the ashes gently falling.

He took a deep drag and slowly exhaled a smoke ring, breaking the silence first, ”Mr. Li, what do you think of Jiang An’s psychological breakthrough plan proposed today? How feasible is it?”

Li Jian’s fingers unconsciously tapped on the tabletop, with several cigarette butts already piled up in the ashtray.

He took a deep drag of smoke, the smoke slowly dispersing in front of him, blurring his tightly furrowed brows.

”To be honest.”

He pondered for a brief moment, his voice low and cautious, ”This idea is both good and bad, good because there’s finally a new direction for investigation, bad because...”

He paused, pressing the cigarette butt out firmly in the ashtray.
