Chapter 271: Eyewitness

Thinking of this thought in his mind, he said: "I see that it wasn't you who called the police in the case file. Did you see the person who called the police?"

When he mentioned this, Lu Yun immediately replied: "No. According to the traffic police brigade, it was a warm-hearted citizen. As for who it was specifically, I don't know!"

Saying goodbye to Lu Yun, the two came to the traffic police brigade again. Luo Fei still had doubts about the fact that the case file didn't record the basic information of the police caller. However, in terms of procedures, it wasn't too big a problem back then.

He found the traffic policeman who handled the case back then, the retired former deputy captain of the Third Traffic Police Brigade, Wu Haibo. The other party heard him mention that case, took out a small notebook from the drawer, and "rustled" through it for a while: "Got it! I recorded it at the time! This phone number!"

Luo Fei took the small notebook. It turned out to be a work log, with a string of numbers written on it, and a small note below: 7.17 traffic accident case police call number.

Luo Fei asked Xiao Sun to copy it down and asked the veteran traffic policeman about some details.

After all, Wu Haibo was also from a police background. Seeing them ask so carefully, he couldn't help but doubt the other party's purpose. Because he knew that the woman who was hit to death on the spot was a police family member, and that policeman was now a municipal bureau leader and criminal police detachment captain, Gu Changzheng.

Luo Fei didn't hide his purpose from him. He touched the scar on his chin and said lightly: "Wu Lao, to be honest, we are indeed investigating this incident back then. You also know that it wasn't long after the Chang brothers' gang-related forces were wiped out and the drug trafficking ring spanning several provinces was destroyed under the command of the old captain Lu Lao, and such a suspicious car accident happened to the family of one of our heroes! This makes us have to suspect whether there is a problem with the car accident!"

When he said this, it was like showing his cards. He thought Wu Haibo, who was the main person in charge of the car accident back then, would be angry. But he saw him look at Luo Fei and them with flickering eyes, sit down on the sofa, light a cigarette, take a deep breath and say: "Did you file a case?"

Luo Fei had expected him to ask this question, so he didn't answer directly and changed the subject: "This case was taken over by our Jiangdong Branch Bureau. We suspect that Fang Jie's death was a human murder, so if you have any clues, please tell us directly."

Wu Haibo gently pressed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray with his fingers: "I've told you everything I know. As for the rest, check it yourself!"

Seeing the other party seeing them off, Luo Fei smiled and said: "Thank you for the phone number you provided today. If you remember anything later, contact me directly." After speaking, he placed his business card on the table.

Wu Haibo nodded, his eyes filled with faint worry.

Leaving Wu's house, Xiao Sun immediately picked up the phone to dial the number. Luo Fei smiled: "The subscriber will definitely say that he just activated this number, and we still have to find the previous subscriber!"

Sure enough, after the call was connected, the other party said that he had only used this number for less than two years, but today was the first time he received a call looking for the previous subscriber.

Xiao Sun learned the other party's words and told Luo Fei, but Luo Fei said: "He said it like that?"

After getting an affirmative answer, Luo Fei said: "Interesting, I hope it's not me thinking too much!"

Xiao Sun looked at him strangely, scratching his head in confusion, full of doubt. Luo Fei said: "Let's go, we're going to the mobile company!"

The identity of the current subscriber of this number provided by Wu Haibo was quickly cleared up. It was indeed a new user who joined the network two years ago.

And this number belonged to the old segment. Before the current subscriber appeared, it had always belonged to a woman named Liu Jinxiang. But through the query, Luo Fei discovered that this Liu Jinxiang was an old lady in her 80s. And she had passed away shortly after the car accident!

He remembered that the traffic police brigade's case file recorded that the police caller was female. Luo Fei felt that he had fallen into a dead end. Checking until now, there were no clues at all!

Only then did he understand why his master hadn't raised any doubts about the car accident back then for so many years. Perhaps he had also investigated in secret, or perhaps the result he got was the same as his!

What should he do next? Luo Fei didn't have a direction for a while.

The ancients said "the dark willow and the bright flower, there is another village," but Luo Fei felt that he couldn't find a breakthrough at all. If he continued to check, he was afraid it would only bring him greater trouble.

Just as the matter was about to be abandoned halfway, Wu Haibo's phone call came.

It could be heard from the phone that Wu Haibo was extremely cautious, and the place of this meeting was not the family courtyard of the traffic police brigade where he lived.

Luo Fei felt a burst of excitement in his heart. He felt that Wu Haibo must have important clues this time!

When he arrived at the meeting place, it was a small park on the street. When Luo Fei arrived, Wu Haibo was already sitting on a long chair waiting.

Luo Fei nodded and said: "Wu Lao, have you remembered anything?"

Wu Haibo looked around vigilantly before saying in a low voice: "Do you really want to check that matter?"

Luo Fei nodded firmly: "Yes, my master might have had other concerns back then, but I won't have any concerns. As long as there is any problem with this matter, I will definitely investigate it to the end!"

"No matter who it checks to? To what extent? Can you bear it?" Wu Haibo stared into his eyes and asked word by word.

"Wu Lao, if you have anything to say, just tell me. No matter who it checks to, no matter what level it checks to, in my eyes there is only law. If you break the law, no matter who it is, I won't let it go!"

While he was speaking, Wu Haibo had been looking at his eyes. After he finished speaking, the eyes that were already a bit cloudy suddenly burst out with dazzling light: "Good! I've been waiting for someone like this to come to me and say such a thing! I tell you, there was an eyewitness at the scene that day!"

Although Luo Fei was mentally prepared, he was still shocked when he heard him say this: "Who is the eyewitness? Where is he now?"

Wu Haibo swallowed hard and said in a deep voice: "Me!"

"Ah!" Even though Luo Fei was extremely calm, he was also taken aback when he heard his words: "You were at the scene back then?"

Wu Haibo nodded, was silent for a while and said: "I was at home after work that day, and I was ready to rest, but my wife suddenly had a stomachache, and the medicine prepared at home was eaten up, so I went out to buy medicine for her. My home was on Fenghua Road, and the pharmacy was at the storefront of the intersection. At that time, only the pharmacy at the intersection had a 24-hour medicine window. After I walked to the pharmacy and got the medicine, I was about to rush back, but when I turned my head, I saw a pickup truck parked on the side of the road near the direction of Fenghua Road. I didn't care, thinking it was raining heavily, maybe the car owner was worried about safety, so he parked temporarily to wait for the rain to get smaller... Who knew, about 100 meters after I walked out, a huge impact sound came, and then, I saw the scene of the car accident!"

"Why didn't you say what you saw back then?" Luo Fei questioned.

"I... someone didn't let me say..." ===== CHAPTER 272 =====
