Criminal Investigation Files

Qincheng is located in the north of Nancheng, where it is not affected by rainy weather, and the temperature is three or four degrees lower than in Nancheng. After getting off the train, Lu Siyu took a deep breath of fresh air, and was blown away by the cold, sandy wind. Choked and coughed.Compared with the spring in the south, where the green trees are lush, this place is still barren. The sky, the earth, the people, everything you see is dusty, and even the accent of the people is dry, that dry There is also a hint of spiciness from a spirit.

It was the first time for Song Wen to come to Qincheng, and he didn't feel used to it when he looked at it. The average height of the people here seemed to be higher than that in Nancheng. Fortunately, they were taller, so they didn't stand out in the crowd.

When you're on a business trip, you can't be particular about it. The two ordered breakfast at the breakfast stand outside the train station. Song Wen ate soy milk fritters, and Lu Siyu ordered plain porridge with a piece of fermented bean curd.

After dinner, Lin Wanwan's home was not in the city, but in a nearby town. At Lu Siyu's insistence, they took a taxi instead of an intercity bus. After tossing and searching all the way, according to the address, I finally came to Lin Wanwan's house.

It was an old community, an eight-story building, without an elevator, and all the windows were equipped with anti-theft iron bars, which were of different specifications, and it looked a bit messy. Clothes of various colors were dried outside the balcony. And quilts, the corridors are narrow and dark when you walk in, and there are sundries piled up at the door of each house. This style is rare in the south. Fortunately, it is located in the north, so even if the corridors are dark, there is no mold.

Song Wen walked to the door of 403 and knocked on the door. He had already asked Zhu Xiao to contact Lin Wanwan's family yesterday.Lin Wanwan's stepfather is a long-distance driver and is away all year round. The destination of this trip is far away, and they have to wait four or five days to get home, so they had to make an appointment with Lin Wanwan's mother first, and asked her to come home today. Do not go out.

When the door opened, someone looked through the iron door first, then the inner layer opened, and a woman's head poked out.This is a woman in her 40s, with a ponytail, but her hair color is yellow and sparse, which seems to be due to poor sleep, deep eye sockets, serious dark circles, and deep splayed lines. Her clothes are simple and clean. In her body, Song Wen saw Lin Wanwan's suppleness.

Song Wen showed his police officer's card and explained his purpose, and the woman ushered them in. The room was not big, and the floors were not low. It is a place to eat and watch TV, and then two rooms, one for adults and one for children.

Lin Wanwan's mother was looking for a cup to pour water for them, and said: "After that happened, I was worried. My son is still studying, and his father is not here. The school teacher said she is fine, so I don't care. I wasn't in a hurry to go there, but I was thinking about not being able to sleep well." She opened the cabinet as she spoke, "Oh, I have a bad memory, where did I put the tea..."

Hearing this, Song Wen pursed his lips slightly, and exchanged glances with Lu Siyu. He originally thought that Lin Wanwan's parents didn't come because the family relationship was not good, but hearing the woman's concerned tone, it didn't seem like a lie.Song Wen saw that the woman was still squatting in the kitchen looking for tea, and said, "Auntie, don't be so polite, we will leave after sitting down for a while, just to get to know Wanwan's family situation."

Before Lu Siyu came here, he had seen the information about this woman. Her surname was Wang, and her name was Wang Wenyan. She worked in a garment factory in the south in her early years, and later worked in a supermarket here. She has been resting at home for the past two years.

After listening to Song Wen's words, Wang Wenyan didn't get entangled, brought two glasses of water to Song Wen and Lu Siyu, poured a glass for herself, and sat on the stool opposite the sofa.

As usual, it was Song Wen who asked the question. Lu Siyu opened the notebook to record. Song Wen went through the process first, asked some basic information, the age and work of family members, etc., and then cut to the point: "Auntie, can you tell me about your daughter's basics?" the situation?"

Wang Wenyan said: "My Wanwan is a good boy. He has never let adults worry about him since he was a child. He studied well when he was in school, and he is well-behaved and sensible. It's just me..."

Speaking of which, she sighed, as if recalling her unfortunate marriage: "My ex-husband's family is more traditional and a bit patriarchal. After I got married, women were not allowed to eat at the table. Wanwan was born At that time, my mother-in-law was unhappy in various ways, saying that I was a money loser, and his son was a single heir for three generations, and he was about to die when he came to me. He gave me porridge for a month during confinement. At that time, I was as thin as eight Ten catties, almost depressed. Later they tried to force me to divorce my ex-husband, let my ex-husband marry another woman and give them a son. At that time, I couldn't think about whether to divorce, so I put my daughter there in a fit of anger. Hide out and work."

When Wang Wenyan mentioned Lin Wanwan, there was an unconcealable pride in her tone, but at the same time, there was a trace of indebtedness.

"Then when Lin Wanwan was at your ex-husband's house, who mainly took care of her?"

"It's mainly my mother-in-law. She is a woman with a sharp mouth and a bean curd heart. Although her mouth is stubborn, she still takes care of Wanwan in her behavior." Wang Wenyan rubbed her hands, "That family is a bit depressed, there are many rules in the family, and the hierarchy is clear. , the whole family is in charge of Wanwan's grandfather, the old man is very strict, he has a lot of tutoring, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. Wanwan's father has a bad temper, and sometimes he will beat the child when he is angry."

This is a traditional family, patriarchal, with distinct classes. At home, women are responsible for most of the housework and labor, men are in charge of major affairs, and domestic violence occurs from time to time. A young girl suddenly lost the care of her mother. In his family, although Wang Wenyan did not describe it in detail, it is enough to make people think of what he has experienced.

Song Wen frowned slightly: "At that time, Lin Wanwan was still very young, right? Don't you feel sorry for leaving your daughter?"

Wang Wenyan nodded: "Of course my own baby is distressed. When Wanwan was ten years old, I finally thought about it and divorced that man."

"So during that time, were you and your daughter living together?"

"During that time, it was a bit difficult. It is not an exaggeration to say that we, mother and daughter, depended on each other for life. Two years later, Wanwan graduated from elementary school. Through someone's introduction, I married the man I am now."

Song Wen read the information, Wang Wenyan's current husband is surnamed Li, a high school graduate, a long-distance bus driver, his resume is very simple, he endures hardships and stands hard work every month, but his salary has not been high.

"Later, I gave birth to a son for him, and Wanwan grew up. He studied well, passed the exams, and went to college. This is the pride of our whole family. All these years, I have been looking forward to her. Although she is a girl, in the On my side, I have never been angry." She took her daughter to her side and responded to every request, and took these as a kind of compensation for her daughter's childhood misfortune.

"After Lin Wanwan's junior high school, are you taking care of her in her daily life and study?"

"This kid, Wanwan, is quite smart. I didn't worry much about it. I'm a person who has accomplished nothing since I was a child. I am ignorant and marry a man when I meet him. I often tell Wanwan, 'You must not become a person like your mother, you have a better life.'”

When the topic of educating children was mentioned, Wang Wenyan suddenly found the topic. For a housewife like her, children are her best report card, especially to have a daughter as obedient and good grades as Wan Wan, how many people envy her not coming.Her ordinary life also has shining points and something to be proud of.

Song Wen continued to ask: "Did Wanwan go home often after she went to college?"

Wang Wenyan's interest that had just been aroused dimmed a little. She stroked her hair with her hand to relieve her embarrassment: "She is very busy with her studies and she is still working outside. We have paid tuition fees and not much living expenses, but As long as she says she's short of money, we'll call her for nothing." Then she sighed, "It's embarrassing for her to have mediocre parents like us."

"Has Lin Wanwan ever talked about how her life at school is like, and how is her relationship with her classmates in the dormitory?"

"Wanwan said that she is very good at school. The teachers and classmates take good care of her. I have seen the children in their dormitory when I used to deliver things to Wanwan. They all seem to be good children. How could..." Wang Wenyan sighed with some regret, "I remember that there was a tall and beautiful child in it, and there was a fair and clean child, who seemed to have a good family environment."

"She also has a classmate named Guo Wei, have you met him?"

"I also have an impression of the kid surnamed Guo, but I haven't heard Wanwan mention it much." Wang Wenyan stroked her hair as she spoke.

Lu Siyu frowned slightly, thinking about what kind of "friends" Lin Wanwan and Guo Hua were, before Song Wen could continue to ask, he raised his eyes and looked at the woman's rough hands: "At that time, Lin Wanwan was at home Are you usually the one who does the housework?"

The woman nodded, as if serving the children and husband at home was a matter of course: "I do all the things like cooking, washing dishes, washing clothes, and cleaning. The children are busy with school, and my husband is also busy with work. He is not at home all year round. Earn hard money." Then she sighed, "Comrade policeman, my family Wanwan is fine, this time she must have been implicated, she is a well-behaved, obedient, kind-hearted girl."

Lu Siyu recorded this, biting the cap of his pen and lowering his head to think. Some information seemed to be different from the clues they had known before. Although Lin Wanwan was from a bad background, she was actually a poor girl. All before she was ten years old.

Song Wen asked some more routine questions, and Wang Wenyan answered them one by one. Seeing that the time was approaching 10:30, Song Wen got up and said, "Can we see Lin Wanwan's stuff?"

Wang Wenyan led them to the children's room, where there were two beds, one with guardrails and one without, obviously the one with guardrails was for brother Lin Wanwan to sleep in.

The boy was still young, and Lin Wanwan passed the exam again, so there was no separate room. There was a cabinet in the room, and there were several floors for girls' things, and other floors for boys' things. The windows are clearly divided, and Lin Wanwan's is neatly arranged, but her brother's is a mess, and things can't be put down, but the miracle is, no matter how dirty and messy, his brother didn't pile things up to Lin Wanwan's. In that unfilled space.

Wang Wenyan explained: "Wanwan is not at home now, but we have never touched her things, and her younger brother does not dare to look through her things."

Song Wen poked his head to look, and there were some books, textbooks, homework books, and a few world famous books inside.

There are also dolls in the cabinet. They are the Barbie dolls bought in shopping malls. There are four or five sets in sets. They are bright and beautiful, and they don’t match the style of the whole room. Song Wen saw that there was a box inside. It's the old cookie box.He reached out and took it out and opened it. Inside was a box full of chocolate candy wrappers, colorfully folded together to look like a dancing girl. He once saw Lin Wanwan stacking these during interrogation. She raised her head and asked Wang Wenyan, "Is this the ?”

Wang Wenyan: "This box was brought by Wan Wan when he came over from his father. Although my ex-husband beat her occasionally, he often bought her candy. Later, when she came over, she occasionally asked me for candy, and I would buy it too. For her, I saved up such a big box."

After reading the bookcase, Song Wen and Lu Siyu rummaged around the room again. The others were just some old clothes, nothing special.

At this time, the door was suddenly knocked loudly.

Hearing this voice, Wang Wenyan's face changed, and she ran to open the door in a panic, but when the door was unlocked, someone knocked it open from the outside, "Mom! Did you forget to put the shoes I wore in gym class in the school bag again?" Already?" Following the words, a ten-year-old boy ran in from outside. He was well-developed, a little fat, and looked like a little adult.

"Physical education class today? You didn't tell me in advance?" Wang Wenyan stood aside and rubbed her hands in embarrassment.

"I said it! I said it a long time ago. Besides, we are at this time every week. We have started school for more than two months. Why don't you remember?" The boy came running over and picked up the cooler on the table. After taking a few sips from the cup, he realized that there were more guests at home, and raised his head to look at Song Wen and Lu Siyu, "What do you guys do?"

Just as Song Wen was about to speak, Wang Wenyan winked at him and said, "It's a teacher from your sister's school. He's here to visit and ask about your sister's family situation."

That boy is Lin Wanwan's younger brother, named Li Zichen, who is nine and a half years old this year. Although the two siblings were born to the same mother, they have different fathers and even have different surnames.Li Zichen rolled his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with my sister?" A boy of about ten years old just half understood.

Lu Siyu didn't expose Wang Wenyan's lie, and casually lied: "There is an exchange student in the school who has a place to go abroad. Let's do a home visit."

Li Zichen nodded: "Oh. My sister studies well, so the quota should definitely be given to her."

Seeing that Li Zichen was here, Wang Wenyan didn't seem to want to ask any more questions, so she took out a plate with oranges from the kitchen and said, "I'm back anyway, you can go again later, eat some oranges before leaving." , she stuffed the plate in front of the child.

Unexpectedly, this move aroused the child's disgust. He stretched out his hand and pushed Wang Wenyan. Wang Wenyan's body fell back, and the oranges on the plate rolled to the ground.

Li Zichen said: "I don't eat oranges. I want my sneakers. I have an appointment with them to play football. You always forget things and can't do anything well. It's so useless. No wonder my sister doesn't want to go home .” He didn’t care about whether it was a teacher from his sister’s school or whoever was there, standing in the living room and throwing a splash.

Wang Wenyan sighed, got up and picked up a few oranges, then went to the balcony to get a pair of washed sneakers, Li Zichen stomped his feet and said, "You haven't tied your shoelaces yet!"

Wang Wenyan had no choice but to sit on the sofa and put on her shoelaces again, and then Li Zichen ran back to class contentedly.After sending the child away, Wang Wenyan turned her head to look at Song Wen and Lu Siyu, as if she was a little embarrassed and said, "I have spoiled this child." She laughed as she spoke, as if she didn't feel that It is an embarrassing thing, but a natural normality in life.

Song Wen said with an embarrassed smile, "It's a kid."

Seeing that the questions here were almost finished, the two got up and said goodbye. After coming out of Lin Wanwan's house, Song Wen looked at the time: "We still have a while, do you want to ask the neighbors or something?"

Lu Siyu nodded: "You can't believe everything her mother says, there are some doubts in this family..."

Just as the two of them were talking, an old lady with white hair and a red band on her cuffs popped out from the intersection in front of her. She stared at them like thieves, "You two, sneaky Damn it, who is it?"

Song Wen was taken aback by the sudden appearance of the old lady. The old lady walked over without making a sound, but suddenly jumped out from behind the wall, with an extremely dexterous figure.He hurriedly took out his ID: "We are the police, and we are here to search." He looked at the old lady again, "Who are you?"

The old lady pointed to her red cuff, proud and confident: "The director of the neighborhood committee in my district, why didn't you greet our neighborhood committee when the police came? Who let you in? This is against the rules!" The old lady said Suspiciously, he took Song Wen's ID and looked at it. He had a strong sense of precaution. He raised his eyes to look at him, his drooping eyelids folded in four folds: "The police from Nancheng, why are you here in Qincheng?"

Song Wen thought to himself, you don't even have a concierge here, who knows that you are so strict, he held his temper and explained simply: "Auntie, there is a case in our Nancheng, and one of the relevant personnel is related to this side, so come here For follow-up visits, we went to the 403 units of the third unit."

"Oh, you guys go to Lin Wanwan's house." The old lady obviously liked the auntie very much, so she returned the certificate to Song Wen.

Song Wen and Lu Siyu didn't expect Lin Wanwan to be so famous, so they exchanged glances.Song Wen put the ID back in his pocket and asked her casually: "Yes, it's their family. We just went to see Lin Wanwan's mother. Do you know Lin Wanwan too?"

The old lady gossiped: "That girl is very good at studying, and she is well-known in our town. She is only a senior, and if she hadn't been implicated by her mother, the matchmaker would have broken through the door long ago. In other words, this girl is out of business. What's the matter?"

Now that the case is still under investigation, Song Wen is unwilling to reveal the details: "She's fine, but something happened to Lin Wanwan's dormitory classmate. Let's come and find out about the situation."

"Oh, that's it." The old lady showed a look of no gossip, a slightly disappointed look, and didn't think about why they came to Lin Wanwan's house to follow up when classmate Lin Wanwan had an accident.

"Auntie, do you know anything about their family? You said just now that Lin Wanwan was implicated by her mother. What happened?" Song Wen asked. Generally, this kind of old man knows a lot of news when he walks around the streets.This trip came from Nancheng, and the round trip took eight hours. Some things can only be determined by seeing them with your own eyes.Suspects will lie, and the parents and relatives around them will even whitewash the peace.He hopes to hear something different from these neighbors.

The old lady regained her spirits when she talked about these things: "Oh, yes, that Xiao Wang used to be a shelf clerk in the small supermarket here. He was fired because of frequent mistakes, and he has been at home all the time. Speaking of which, this The family has a big fate... It was the winter vacation three years ago. We haven't changed to natural gas here, and every household uses gas. Xiao Wang is at home, and Xiao Li didn't go out to drive. His second boy is also at home, but Lin Wanwan I got up early in the morning and went to the library to read and study. Later, the neighbors smelled the smell of gas in their house, so they called the police. The police, firefighters and first aid all came. The whole family was unconscious and sent to the hospital , stayed for a few days before being discharged from the hospital."

In a small town like this, it is big news that a family almost died of gas poisoning.

The old lady can still play tricks: "Later, guess what happened, Xiao Wang got up in the morning to boil water, but later she felt cold and slipped back into bed and fell asleep. The water boiled and put out the fire, and the whole family almost let it go. The gas smoke was gone, but fortunately, that girl Lin Wanwan was so lucky that she went out early in the morning, otherwise she would be in bad luck. But once this incident happened, no one came to match Wanwan, after all, no one was afraid of getting hurt Such a mother-in-law."

Lu Siyu frowned: "Did Wang Wenyan say this?"

The old lady said: "Hey, it's a good thing you are still policemen. How can the person involved recognize this?"

Song Wen was surprised: "Didn't you say that the police are here? Why didn't you check your fingerprints? Do an investigation?"

"My family has relatives who belong to the Public Security Bureau. It was a strange thing at the time. It was checked and there were no fingerprints, so it was even more unusual. Anyway, Xiao Wang said at the beginning that she didn't boil the water, but the water would never go to the gas by itself. His husband Both her son and daughter believed that she did it, and she also admitted later, because no one was killed, so it was nothing. The family changed the gas stove to prevent leakage, so they dared to let her continue to cook. " The old lady spoke vividly, as if she was the one who handled it and knew every detail.

This matter is not ordinary, Song Wen frowned, looked back at the window of Lin Wanwan's house, and then looked back at Lu Siyu, Lu Siyu lowered his head, biting his nails habitually, as if Think about the problem.

Then the old lady wentssiped a few more times, but never said anything of value.

In the beginning, it was the old lady who chased them and offered clues. Later, they chased the old lady to ask about the relevant situation. The old lady became impatient and looked at her watch frequently, "Oh, I told you everything I know. , I have to buy vegetables to pick up my grandson." Song Wen then let him go.

Lu Siyu turned his head to look at Song Wen, and Song Wen immediately understood and said, "Let's go eat first, and we have to hurry back, and I'll ask other people about their progress later."

The town is not too big, they picked a small restaurant and sat in, Song Wen ordered food, and Lu Siyu found someone to warm up his takeaway food as usual.

It can be seen that Lu Siyu has been forced to a certain extent, and even the food has become a short and fast scrambled egg with tomato, diced chicken and mushroom, fried sea crab with green onion and ginger.The cooking is simple, but the ingredients are fresh. The peeled tomatoes are sour and sweet, and the sea crabs are also cleaned up. Even the crab clips are cracked and fried until tasty.The dishes made by the master chef in this small restaurant are average in taste, but the portions are not small, but each one is saltier than the other. Song Wen finally rubbed the dishes in Lu Siyu's lunch box, and ate them with rice.

Just after dinner, Fu Linjiang called.Song Wen plugged in the earphones, used the end with the headset himself, and passed the other end to Lu Siyu. Fu Linjiang's voice came: "We have made some new discoveries here. Have dinner with Dong Fang, and stay with Dong Fang. It’s not always Ma Aijing who buys Fang, sometimes it’s Lin Wanwan. We found a short video of the supermarket downstairs in the school dormitory. Dong Fang swiped her card there, and Lin Wanwan opened the package and ate without notice. It's up." They went to the school today to check for omissions and make up for vacancies, and all the information they could obtain was obtained, and there were indeed some details that were not found in the initial investigation.

"Also, Ma Aijing did have an affair with their professor, but the professor said that she just asked him to give him extra points in the paper. As for the exchange abroad, Ma Aijing was chosen because the exchange students required good English and good image. Okay. Ma Aijing is more suitable. They have already told Guo Hua about this point. At that time, Guo Hua was very calm and had no objections. Then the paper that Ma Aijing scored was co-authored. Guess the other one Who is the author."

Song Wen guessed: "Lin Wanwan?"

Fu Linjiang exclaimed: "How did you guess right?"

Song Wen snorted: "You let me guess. Of course it's not Dong Fang's. It can't be cooperating with Guo Hua."

Fu Linjiang also talked about some situations, and the main theme was one. In their reasoning at the scene of the crime, they felt that Lin Wanwan was outside the dormitory. Now it seems that her relationship with other people in the dormitory is far away. Much closer than they first reasoned.

"Anyway, while she was spending Dong Fang's money, she was enjoying Ma Aijing's paper bonus points at the same time. She lived quite comfortably, not at all as pitiful as she was when she faced us. And we checked the video The box of chocolates that day was brought back to the dormitory by Lin Wanwan in the morning. I also tend to think that this matter has something to do with Lin Wanwan. She went to the courier to pick up the chocolates, and she also knew that Guo Wei still had leftover poison in there. , there is sufficient time to commit the crime. However, the motive for the murder has not yet been found.”

"Is there any progress in other areas?" Song Wen asked again.

Fu Linjiang said: "Wujian is still inspecting the chocolates, but they also encountered a problem, and the chocolates did not write their names. It can only prove that someone dropped chocolates everywhere. It is impossible to determine who left the traces. "

Song Wen was a little helpless, but he could only accept this result: "Okay, I know these things, you guys continue to work hard, and wait for me to go back and summarize."

Fu Linjiang hung up the phone, Lu Siyu took off the earphones and said, "I found out before that the relationship in the dormitory may not be as simple as it seems on the surface, and that day I felt that Lin Wanwan's place is too clean. Then I figured it out..."

Song Wen thought for a while and immediately understood what Lu Siyu meant: "What we see is what others want us to see. What we ask is what others want us to ask."

After saying this, Song Wen's eyes fell on Lu Siyu, and he remembered the conversation between Zhou Yining and him before.This sentence seems to be suitable for Lu Siyu.

Lu Siyu didn't notice the strangeness in Song Wen's eyes, and lowered his head and said, "We don't know what the real relationship in the dormitory is like."

Someone cleaned up the dormitory, before the police arrived, maybe a few days ago, it was premeditated, especially Lin Wanwan's place, it was extremely clean, and it was this kind of cleanliness that made her special.

Song Wen sighed and said, "The relationship between these few people is more complicated than we imagined." This case is different from the cases they have dealt with in the past.They underestimated the complexity of the case at the beginning, but in retrospect, the whole story may be more confusing than they imagined.

The two of them came out of the small restaurant and walked along the streets of an unfamiliar city. The small roads here are narrower than those in the south, and there are tall evergreen plants planted on the side of the road. Now a little sprout has just sprouted. Song Wen was not in a hurry to take a taxi, so he turned his head. Ask Lu Siyu, "What do you think about Lin Wanwan's family?"

Lu Siyu didn't answer Song Wen, but blinked and asked him, "What do you think?"

Song Wen thought for a while: "Lin Wanwan's family is different from what I imagined before. I thought her parents were indifferent and treated her badly, and that's why she developed a gentle personality. The family is like this, the mother dotes on her very much, the stepfather is honest and loyal, and is away all the year round, the younger brother is arrogant and unreasonable, but he also values ​​​​the elder sister. This family seems to be a happy family. But I always feel that there is something wrong in it. "

Lu Siyu had a cold face on his face: "A happy family? A mother with a bad memory, a father who is away all the year round, an overbearing younger brother, and a sister who is suspected of being a murderer. This family almost died just once. Gas poisoning, it's a template for a horror story."

Song Wen clearly understands a truth. When different people look at the same thing, they may have completely different perceptions. All this is also related to his life experience. As a criminal policeman, he has always been more than upright. This kind of integrity can make him more Adhering to his own justice also prevented him from understanding the abnormal world in which the criminals lived, and unable to go deep into that dark place and probe into their twisted hearts.In short, he is a normal person who cannot think with a perverted mind and does not know what the pervert is thinking.

But Lu Siyu... seemed to be able to see through their thoughts without any effort.

Just like at this time, he just felt that something was wrong with this family, but he didn't know exactly what was wrong. All this was completely different in Lu Siyu's eyes. When he pointed it out with such a word, Song Wen suddenly thought Tong Li: "Do you think that gas poisoning was not an accident?"

Lu Siyu hummed in a low voice.

Song Wen stood up and said, "Is it an accident, we'll find out after asking."

Lu Siyu was taken aback, "You want to investigate this matter?"

The resolute Song team took the initiative to help him carry the bag: "It's all here, at least listen to what the person said, let's go, let's go to Lin Wanwan's house to kill the carbine."

The case has been investigated here, and the pursuit of the truth is only one step away.
