He Jingshan's face was full of disbelief, his little eyes widened: "Dead...dead?"
Lu Wuchuan nodded slightly: "The couple were killed at home at the same time."
"Ah!? His wife is also dead?"
After all, he is old, experienced, and has seen the world. He Jingshan's shock only lasted for a moment, and he quickly clarified: "Officer, this matter has nothing to do with me. If I hadn't heard you tell me, I wouldn't have known the news.
It's about the couple. I haven't seen him and I for more than ten years. You can check it out. We really haven't met. I don't know anything about their family's current situation, so I can't give you any clues.
.”
Lu Wuchuan adjusted his sitting position slightly and said, "We didn't come here to ask about the current situation of his family. On the contrary, we want to know what happened at Tongda Transportation Company back then."
He Jingshan seemed confused and asked: "If they die, what does it have to do with the company?"
"Do you know Dong Xingyun?" Lu Wuchuan asked without answering.
He Jingshan nodded: "I know... I know you."
"Where's Xiong Juan?" Lu Wuchuan asked again.
He Jingshan's lips trembled: "He...they, aren't they...all dead?"
Lu Wuchuan stared at the other person's eyes for a few seconds before speaking slowly: "The murderer's method of committing the crime was very cruel. As for the extent of the cruelty, I won't describe it to you. In short, they died in the same way, and the scene was too horrific to watch.
Those of us detectives who are used to seeing corpses feel shuddering."
His voice was already low, and he said these words in a slow tone, making people feel as if the temperature around him had dropped a few degrees.
Duan Mo touched his arm in a very cooperative manner and said in a trembling voice: "Lijun Lu, please stop talking."
Half-covering is more imaginative than being straightforward. He Jingshan unconsciously imagined a bloody and terrifying scene. His body stiffened slightly, but he still said bravely: "Two police officers, Tongda has long been gone."
If they exist, it definitely has nothing to do with their deaths. You should focus on the people around them."
"Whether it's related or not is not something you and I can say. At first, we had the same idea as you, thinking that they had offended someone recently. But..."
Lu Wuchuan paused for a moment and continued to exaggerate the atmosphere of terror: "While we were investigating the people they had come into contact with, another person was killed in the same way. His name was Wang Hong'an, who was a student at the Transportation Technical School.
Internship at Tongda Transportation Company. Moreover, we found that the only intersection between the deceased people is that they all once worked in this company."
"This...can't explain anything, right?" He Jingshan still insisted.
"Five lives don't explain the problem?" Duanmo sighed, "Then I would like to ask Mr. He, how many people do you think need to die to explain the problem?"
He Jingshan waved his hand: "It has nothing to do with how many people died. What I mean is that Tongda has only been in business for less than two years, and nothing happened during that period. It has nothing to do with the homicide."
Lu Wuchuan suddenly asked: "Mr. He, where did Ye Ping go on his last trip?"
"Gone..." He Jingshan just said two words, then stopped quickly and changed his words, "Who is Ye Ping?"
"That's him." Lu Wuchuan picked up the photo, held it up in front of him, pointed at the person on it and said, "This person went on a long trip with Wang Hongan, and then both of them left the company. Mr. He, at that time you were
Deputy manager of Tongda Transportation Company, don’t tell me you don’t know about this.”
"My deputy manager was banned casually just to help my dad run errands and work. He has no real power at all." He Jingshan said.
Lu Wuchuan raised his chin slightly and said, "Mr. He, are you hiding something for someone, or are you saying that the murder is related to you?"
He Jingshan suddenly became anxious: "Officer Lu, don't the police all talk about evidence? What evidence do you have that I am related to the murder case? You are suspicious of someone for no reason, so aren't you afraid that I will file a complaint against you?"
"It is your freedom and right to file a complaint or not." Lu Wuchuan said calmly, "If your concealment affects the investigation process of the case, the public security organs also have the right to hold you accountable."
When He Jingshan heard this, his tone immediately softened: "I'm not hiding it. I really have no impression of the person you mentioned."
"Are you not impressed, or are you afraid that speaking out will involve illegal fund-raising?" Lu Wuchuan looked at him and said, "Mr. He, which one is more important, human life or money, don't you need me to tell you? We are here to talk to you today.
I’m trying to save face for you. If you refuse to cooperate, I wouldn’t mind changing the conversation location to the interrogation room of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.”
There was hesitation on He Jingshan's face. He was thinking about whether he should say something, how to say it, and what should be said and what should not be said.
After a while, Lu Wuchuan broke the silence between the three of them: "Mr. He, if you haven't remembered it yet, I might as well give you a hint."
"Under the guise of responding to the country's call and supporting the construction of new rural areas, without approval from relevant departments in accordance with legal procedures, soliciting people to invest in registered companies or enterprises. This behavior is called illegal fund-raising and has constituted a crime."
"The money has been collected, but the company is fake. It has neither registration nor real operations. This is fraud."
"The money raised in the name of Tongda Transportation Company was used for the registration and operation of Sihaitong Transportation Company. This is called embezzlement of public funds."
He Jingshan's body trembled visibly when he heard the words "universal connection".
"Officer Lu, you don't have to scare me. It was the village committee that called on villagers to buy shares, and I'm not from the village committee."
"Mr. He's next sentence, are you going to say that even if it is a crime, it was your late father who did it?" Lu Wuchuan's lips showed a trace of ridicule, "Anyway, the person is gone, no matter how much guilt he has, it doesn't matter. But
Don’t forget, the money raised illegally is stolen money, and if you use stolen money to invest, the profits you get will also be recovered.”
He Jingshan's lips parted a few times and he said, "The money to open the company is my own and has nothing to do with Yanghu Village."
"Is it okay? Can you explain the source of the funds?"
"The registration time of Sihaitong is almost the same as the establishment time of the so-called Tongda. Is this a coincidence?"
"Your father was devoted to the construction of Yanghu Village. When Tongda Transportation Company couldn't continue, he took out all his family savings and borrowed money from relatives and friends to pay back all the villagers' funds. This is what he said
Is that what you said?"
"How can such a good and upright cadre get one or two million to start a company for you?"
"It's not like you accidentally inherited an inheritance from overseas, right? Or maybe you won a big prize by buying a lottery ticket?"
A series of questions left He Jingshan speechless.
