Chapter 260: The Orphanage Where Wen Minhui Is Located Is Discovered
"Do you still remember Anhe Village?" Lu Lin'an's voice was unusually excited: "The person who hit Grandpa and Aunt was from Anhe Village. He was the one guarding the gate when we entered Anhe Village. He seemed to have a very high status in the village. The people of Anhe Village treated him with utmost respect."
"He must be an elder of Anhe Village. Although I only met him once, I remembered him from that one meeting. Later, during the arrest operation, he escaped!"
“We never expected him to run over Grandpa and Aunt with his car. Our initial suspicion is that he knew you were among those who destroyed Anhe Village and wanted revenge, so he ran over Aunt with his car.”
"Is this his explanation?"
"Yes, I checked the interrogation records, and that's what he said."
"Do you believe what he said?" Chu Miao asked.
"There are too many loopholes; I don't really trust it."
"Just for revenge, he maliciously ran over someone and killed them?" Chu Miao raised an eyebrow. "That doesn't make sense. He had already escaped and could have gone to a city to live a carefree and happy life, but he wanted to run over my mother just for revenge? He clearly knew that after killing someone, he would definitely be sentenced to death."
"Besides, even if she wanted revenge, she should have come for me. Why my mother? Is it because my mother's whereabouts are fixed, making it easier for her to commit the crime? My father also goes to get off work every day and his whereabouts are very punctual. Why did he specifically target my mother? And why did he do it right when she had just returned to the Lu family? Who instructed him? My mother's death would not benefit him at all, but it would be very beneficial to some people."
Lu Lin'an paused for a moment after hearing her words. Chu Miao didn't hide anything and spoke very directly, so Lu Lin'an naturally understood.
"Are you referring to Aunt Minhui? Do you still suspect her?"
"It's not doubt, it's certainty."
“Miaomiao,” she said softly, “I know what you mean. You may have many misunderstandings about Aunt Minhui. I can understand why you think this way about her; it’s only human nature. But judging a case depends on evidence. Without evidence, I cannot easily judge whether a person is good or bad based on a few words.”
“However, since you are a family member of the victim, I will take your words into consideration. I assure you that we will handle the case fairly and openly. As long as the suspect is found, no matter who she is, we will deal with her in accordance with the law.”
Lu Lin'an admired Chu Miao. Chu Miao was all-around capable in every aspect and had keen insight. However, in the matter of Wen Minhui, Lu Lin'an would not draw any conclusions easily before having evidence.
After all, Wen Minhui was the aunt who watched her grow up.
She was so good to them.
She didn't want to assume bad things about her.
However, when it comes to family ties and justice, justice always comes first.
If Wen Minhui really did something, she definitely won't hold back.
Chu Miao admired Lu Lin'an's work attitude; this was the true meaning of serving the people.
“You are a family member of the victim, and I have the right to tell you about the progress of the case.”
Lu Lin'an said, "We have investigated the suspect's social network and found that he had a daughter who died at the age of eight. The couple never had any more children after that. His wife passed away three years ago, and he has been living alone ever since."
Lu Lin'an repeatedly assured them that they would find out the truth, and then shared some relevant information about the case before hanging up.
Chu Miao looked at her phone and sighed softly. After all, it was something that happened more than 30 years ago, and it wouldn't be easy for them to investigate. So she decided to help them out.
She silently opened her chat window with Si Yelin.
Soon after, the police station received an anonymous letter.
The letter was very simple, containing only five words.
