Chapter 91 Dark Flower Season

Knocking at the dilapidated door of Li Lan's house, a drunken voice came from inside: "Damn it, who is that? I'll disturb me when I'm going to sleep at this moment!"

Musen raised his wrist and looked at his watch, then stood outside the door and replied calmly: "It's already 2:39 pm."

The people inside seemed to be stunned for a moment, but they didn't expect that the people outside the door would really tell the time.

There was a rustling sound of dressing, and then the sound of slippers tapping. The people inside walked out and opened the door cursingly. After seeing Mu Sen and Mo Ziqian, they asked without hesitation: "Who are you? What are you doing! Didn't the water meter just checked two days ago?!"

Mu Sen looked down at his shirt slightly, then turned his head to look at Mo Ziqian's valuable clothes. He could not understand why they were like water checkers.

Finally, Mu Sen turned around and looked at the middle-aged man who "before the person arrived, the smell of methanol arrived first." Finally, he said: "Hello, we are from the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Bureau. Is this Li Lan's home?"

When he heard that it was from the Municipal Bureau, the drunk man seemed to have woken up a little bit, and quickly shook his head and changed his face to Mu Sen with a smile, "Oh, you see, this matter is a mess, how could I know that it was a comrade from the Municipal Bureau coming! What's wrong, did I make any mistakes after getting drunk yesterday? Uh... No, you are looking for Li Lan, right? Did that dead girl make trouble?"

Listening to the vulgar language of the drunk man in front of him, Mu Sen couldn't help but frown slightly, and then asked in a cold voice: "Is Li Lan at home? We have some questions to ask her."

"She's back to her aunt's house in the countryside."

"Go back to the countryside? When did you leave?"

"Uh...yesterday, right? No, maybe the day before yesterday...or it was...oh comrade, I can't remember..." The drunk man was thinking hard, but the result was not very good.

Mu Sen narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you... Li Lan's father?"

The drunk man grinned and said, "Ah, yes! My name is Li Gang."

Now, Musen's brows frowned even tighter, and he said in a cold tone: "Is it convenient for us to come in and sit?"

When Li Gang heard this, he immediately said a little embarrassedly: "I, my family is in a mess..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mu Sen pushed him away and walked in. Li Gang's body had already collapsed due to long-term alcoholism. After Mu Sen pushed him like this, he almost staggered to the ground.

Mo Ziqian just looked at him coldly, and then followed Mu Sen into the yard.

It is said to be a yard, but in fact it is just a four or five square meters. The house is very short and very trendy. When it is cloudy and rainy, the dilapidated house must be leaking.

Walking into the house where cheap liquor bottles and leftovers were everywhere, Mo Ziqian couldn't help but cover his mouth and nose and whisper: "The smell here is much harder to accept than the taste of the forensic room."

Mu Sen casually glanced at the leftover food on the table and said, "These things have not been cleaned up for at least three days, no wonder they smell bad. It seems that Li Lan returned to the countryside when something happened to Lin Wei's house, which is suspicious."

Mo Ziqian understood what Mu Sen said, but standing in such a room and looking at the drunkard father outside the door, Mo Ziqian felt uncomfortable from the bottom of his heart. In such an environment, if such a father "set a role model", Li Lan could even be admitted to a key school, which itself shows that the girl is also a very excellent girl. Moreover, under the tempering of life, she must have a more mature and stronger personality trait than her peers.

Musen looked at Mo Ziqian's expression and couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "I know what you are thinking, but it is precisely because she is in such an environment that she has the motive for murder."

Mo Ziqian shook his head unconsciously, as if he could not believe that this matter was related to Li Lan, and it seemed that he also understood that Li Lan was suspicious, but he was unwilling to admit the tragedy that this child had encountered.

Mu Sen continued to walk in at this time, a rag curtain separated a small space. There was a single bed and a "desk" the size of a bedside table. The corners around the bed were neatly piled up with books. It seemed that this was where Li Lan studied and lived.

There was a photo posted on the "desk". The photo showed a girl in a school uniform with short hair and thin hair. She had a kind of Muran in her eyes that was not consistent with her age. Although she was smiling reluctantly, the pain and despair between her eyebrows could not escape the eyes of Musen and Mo Ziqian.

Musen tore off the photo, then turned his hand to greet Li Gang outside the door: "You, come in!"

Li Gang stood at the door and hesitated for a moment and said, "Comrade Police... My house is so big. If I go in again, we will be too crowded. Tell me if you have anything to do."

Mu Sen walked back to the door and asked, "Is the person in the photo Li Lan?"

"Yes." Li Gang replied without even looking at it.

"Isn't it?" Musen's eyes were filled with anger.

Realizing that Mu Sen's eyes were wrong, Li Gang changed his words repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that was posted by her. I've seen it for me, but I didn't pay attention..."

"Where is Li Lan's mother?" Mo Ziqian stood behind Mu Sen and asked in a cold tone.

Li Gang replied disdainfully: "That ruthless bitch, he has already run away!"

"You beaten away?" Musen asked.

Li Gang was about to make a quibble, but Mo Ziqian, who was beside him, said: "You are drunk and have a tendency to be violent. Severe alcohol dependence has made you unable to control your thinking and words and deeds. Alcohol paralysis has impaired your emotions and ability to communicate with others. You are confused and unable to control yourself. I think you not only beat Li Lan's mother away, but you should have hurt Li Lan in normal times."

Every word of Mo Ziqian was pointed out. Li Gang said it so hard that he could not speak with his mouth wide open. He knew the best of what he was like. However, Li Gang did not expect that Mo Ziqian could see so thoroughly without saying a few words to him since he entered the door.

The atmosphere was stiff. After a moment of silence, Li Gang finally stumbled and said, "Comrade Police... Even so, you can't detain me because of this, right? Does our country have this law? I only know that it's natural for me to beat me... I just beat her to death..."

"You dare!!" Mu Sen couldn't control himself anymore and finally got angry.

"No...I dare not, I just said that... You can't catch me just because of this, right?" Li Gang hurried in the corner, looking slandered.

Musen sighed deeply, then pointed at Li Gang and said, "It seems that alcohol and methanol have not made you completely idiots. You can still talk to me about the law! That's right, in terms of criminal law in our country, there is indeed no detailed punishment for parents to abuse their children. But remember, you will definitely get the consequences you deserve."

After hearing Mu Sen say that, Li Gang is not only not afraid, but also smiles with a willing look, "Drink alive, die. No one cares about anyone these days, and children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and I can't take care of that much."

Mu Sen really didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he turned to Mo Ziqian and said, "Ziqian, write down the address of Aunt Li Lan's house, and I'll wait for you outside."

Mo Ziqian nodded and watched Musen walk out quickly.

Of course, Mo Ziqian didn't stop for a long time. After quickly recording the address, he immediately left Li Gang's house. As soon as he was out of the hospital, he felt that the air was much fresher in an instant. The disgusting smell of alcohol finally disappeared. It was really hard to imagine how a girl like Li Lan survived in such an environment.

After leaving the dirty alley, Musen and Mo Zichang began to go back to the police station.

Seeing Mu Sen always looking at Li Lan's photo, Mo Ziqian asked, "What's wrong, is the sense of justice bursting out?"

Mu Sen rubbed Li Lan's somewhat cold face on the photo with his fingers, and then asked back: "Ziqian, do you have any special feeling when you look at this photo carefully?"

"Whatever you want to say, just say it." Mo Ziqian replied decisively without taking a turn.

"I want to say... Although the truth may not be what we want, I seem to have solved the mystery of that non-existent boyfriend." Musen's eyes were a little erratic.

Mo Ziqian glanced at Li Lan in the photo, and then said knowingly: "You want to say that actually..."

Before Mo Ziqian finished speaking, Mu Sen continued excitedly: "Actually, the paranoid psychopath did not lie. Someone did go home with Lin Wei that day, and no one saw him come out again. However, that person was not a boyfriend, but a girl with short hair..."

"It's Li Lan."

"That's right." Musen continued: "Looking at this photo, perhaps because of long-term malnutrition, Li Lan is very thin and can hardly see any female characteristics. In addition, she has short hair, does not apply makeup, and does not have the conditions to dress herself up, so the voyeuristic neurotic looks from a distance and cannot tell whether the person following Lin Wei is a man or a woman. Moreover, he has paranoia himself, so he naturally determines that the person must be Lin Wei's boyfriend."

Mo Ziqian nodded and said, "Well, and the time when Li Lan disappeared was too suspicious. It is said that something happened to her good friend, she should have arrived or cared about it. There is no reason to suddenly hide in the countryside. But what I don't quite understand is that since Lin Wei takes great care of her, what motive does she have to kill Lin Wei and destroy the whole family?"

Musen thought for a while and said, "It may be an unintentional act. As for the motive for murder, it may be because Lin Wei has been taking care of her, so..."

As he was talking, Captain Wu called and asked Mu Sen how he was investigating. Mu Sen did not tell Captain Wu immediately, but gave the address Li Lan he had just obtained and asked him to secretly control Li Lan and not let her escape. Mu Sen and Mo Ziqian rushed to Li Lan's hiding place directly.
