"Yes, I am." The victim's father looked up at Lu Jingyang and replied in a hoarse voice.
"My condolences. Can I ask you a few questions?”Lu Jingyang first expressed his sympathy and then said.
The victim's father nodded. Although Lu Jingyang looked very young, he had just realized that whether it was the director of the Criminal Investigation Department, the section chief, or the section chief in charge of the case, none of them expressed any dissatisfaction with the arrival of this young man.
Moreover, this young man was chatting with Section Chief Yu just now. In the end, he had read the file, and the two of them seemed to be of equal rank. At such a young age, he was already on the same level as Section Chief Yu. He should not be an ordinary person.
At the same time, the director beside him did not express his dissatisfaction with the young man's words, so the victim's father showed his cooperation.
"Mr. Li, may I ask if your daughter has a boyfriend?”
Father Li, who was also the victim's father, was obviously stunned by Lu Jingyang's question. Then, he looked at his wife who was still in grief and gently pushed her, whispering into her ear.
It seemed that Father Li didn't know much about his daughter's private life.
After his wife shook her head, Father Li looked up and replied,"I don't think so."
"Did you not, or did you not know? Father Li, it's very important for you and your wife to reminisce.”Lu Jingyang seemed to have identified this problem and felt a little conflicted about it.
"Jing Yang, we've investigated Li Yanling's classmates and friends. She doesn't have a boyfriend.”At this moment, Section Chief Yu heard Lu Jingyang pestering him about a problem. He stood up and whispered into Lu Jingyang's ear.
"Boyfriends don't have to be students in school. Therefore, the deceased's high school classmates and friends might not know.”When Lu Jingyang mentioned it, Section Chief Yu instantly reacted. Yes, young girls nowadays could not be looked at in the same way as before.
Nowadays, the internet was so developed that online dating was very common. If one had a boyfriend, it might not be the victim's classmate.
"His mother and I really don't know. Yan Ling is very obedient. This time, it was also because she said that she wanted to go on a trip with a friend and wanted 10,000 yuan. We asked which friend it was, and she got angry at us. She said a few words to her, then she ran out and never came back.”
After Father Li finished speaking, he slapped his head a few times and sobbed,"If I had known earlier, I would have given it to her. Ten thousand yuan isn't a lot for our family. What can I do if I give it to her? Wuuuu…"
In the end, Father Li also began to cry.
Yu Dong, who was beside him, looked at Lu Jingyang excitedly. Clearly, he had thought of something. Moreover, the victim's family did not mention this matter before. They only said that they had said a few words to their daughter before her daughter left the house and never came back.
Previously, Team Two had focused their investigation on the victim, Li Yanling's relatives, friends, and close classmates. The direction of the investigation was not wrong. After all, Li Yanling was penniless at that time. She would definitely ask her friends or classmates for help.
However, they did not expect that Li Yanling might have friends in society.
When Yu Dong and the others were investigating, they realized that Li Yanling had always been a good girl. Her grades were not particularly good, but she was above average. She was considered a good student with excellent moral character and academics, so they did not think in this direction.
But now, from Mr. Li's description, Section Chief Yu immediately realized that he and the others had missed something. At the same time, he was secretly angry that he had not thought of this.
Lu Jingyang returned the dossier to Yu Dong and said with a smile,"Section Chief Yu, you guys can do the investigation later. If there's a need, you can call us.”
"What Section Chief Yu? Call me Old Yu.”Yu Dong was a forty-year-old man, and he was filled with gratitude towards Lu Jingyang. He smiled and said,"Impressive, Jing Yang. I'll owe you this time. When this case is over, I'll buy you a drink.”
"Alright, thank you, Brother Yu."
Lu Jingyang smiled as well. Then, he took a step back and walked over to Feng Shou. Feng Shou didn't say anything. He just smiled and patted Lu Jingyang's shoulder.
Yu Dong first took out his phone and called his subordinates, giving them a series of orders. Then, he called a criminal police officer down and questioned Mr. and Mrs. Li again.
Li Du's father saw the joy on Yu Dong's face after he answered the young man's question, as well as the joy on the faces of the division chief and the section chief.
He also knew that what he had just said should have given them some clues. Therefore, they did not dare to be negligent. After explaining to his wife, the two of them forced themselves to be spirited and began to talk about their daughter's problems in detail. At the same time, they mentioned some small abnormalities that they usually did not pay much attention to.
As Mr. and Mrs. Li explained, Yu Dong listened while calling his subordinates from time to time to adjust the mission and focus of the investigation.
An hour later, Yu Dong stopped asking questions. He received a reply from his subordinates who had been sent out. They had found some clues and were on their way back.
The two police officers who called were sent by Yu Dong to investigate the dessert shop where the deceased Li Yanling had spent money before she disappeared.
Mr. and Mrs. Li knew about this dessert shop because they saw a bill that Li Yanling had brought back. However, they had only spent two times at this dessert shop and did not go there often. Mr. and Mrs. Li did not care much about it before and had not gone there to look for it.
But now that he asked, Mother Li recalled and casually mentioned it. Yu Dong didn't let it go and still sent people over. She didn't expect to really get something.
"Thank you for the information you provided. Now, there are some clues at the dessert shop. We need to speed up the investigation. I understand your feelings, but I hope you can cooperate with us. Once there is a breakthrough in the case, we will inform you immediately.”
Yu Dong was very excited and explained to Li Du's parents,"I have to deal with the case now. I'll take my leave first. I'll inform you if there's any news.”
After saying that, Yu Dong greeted Xu Xiake, Feng Shou, and Lu Jingyang, then hurriedly left with his men.
This time, Mr. and Mrs. Li didn't make a fuss. They knew that the information they had provided previously wasn't detailed enough, causing the police to not find any clues. At this moment, the two of them were also regretful.
"Big brother, big sister, look, it's getting late. Let's take you to the cafeteria for dinner and then send someone to send you home, okay?”Xu Xiake said softly.
"Thank you. We won't be eating and will delay your work. We'll just take a taxi back.”Mrs. Li was helped up by Mr. Li. She declined politely in embarrassment and then walked out.
Xu Xiake did not agree. He called a police officer over and asked him to drive the two of them back. Mr. and Mrs. Li left the city bureau with endless gratitude.
