There was nothing to say all night. Xu Lang got up just after dawn the next day. Rather than getting up, it was better to say that he had not rested all night.
After washing up, Xu Lang went next door to wake up Luo Jiayan. The two left the guest house together and found Director Yang again, asking him to arrange for someone to take them to Yangjiacun to find Yang Rongwei's father to understand the situation.
If City S is the southernmost city in China and is close to the sea, then Boyang County and several nearby counties are the places closest to the sea in City S.
When Xu Lang first arrived in Boyang County, he thought that Yang Jiguang and the others lived in the county town. Later, through Director Yang, Xu Lang found out that after Yang Jiguang and Yang Jirong raised their children, although they lived in the city
They bought a house, but they still habitually live in Yangjia Village.
Boyang County is very prosperous. Here, you can basically find everything in the city. However, the business is not as good as in the urban area of S City.
Originally, Xu Lang thought that they had woken up early enough that they would not see many talented people on the street. However, when they went out, Xu Lang discovered that although they had woken up very early, there were many people who were older than them.
He got up early. In addition to sanitation workers and shops buying breakfast, Xu Lang saw many people holding fishing tools walking through the streets, and many vans with foreign license plates driving on the road.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Xu Lang discovered that perhaps, this was the difference between the county town and the urban area.
Yangjia Village is not far from Boyang County. A policeman from the Public Security Bureau drove Xu Lang and others in a car and drove there for about twenty minutes. The car did not enter the village directly, but passed by the entrance of the village and drove straight to the seaside.
Obviously, this policeman was very familiar with Yang Jiguang.
Xu Lang chatted with the policeman who was driving in the car, and then he learned that his surname was Yang and that he was from Yangjia Village. After learning this, Xu Lang was not surprised.
The car arrived at a freely formed seafood market. Before the car got close, Xu Lang and the others smelled a pungent smell of the sea. For people like Xu Lang who grew up in coastal cities, this kind of
Not only was the smell of the sea not unpleasant, but it felt very friendly. However, Luo Jiayan, who came with Xu Lang, couldn't stand the smell.
The seafood market is very large. There are many various vehicles parked on the roadside. Most of them are vans and trucks, and there are also a few luxury cars. In the market, people are coming and going, and the sound is very noisy.
After several people got out of the car, the policeman surnamed Yang took Xu Lang and the others and walked straight towards the largest area in the center. On the way there, Xu Lang saw a man with gray hair and dark skin, wearing rubber shoes and
The man in gelcoat was arranging the many seafoods in front of him. The man's back was turned to them, so he couldn't see his face clearly. However, from the man's slightly stooped body and gray hair, it could be seen that his
He must be quite old.
"Uncle Yang, I'm busy."
The policeman surnamed Yang walked up behind the man and asked with a smile. While saying hello, he casually took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled out one, and handed it to the man.
Hearing the other party's voice, the man turned around slowly. After seeing the other party's appearance, he laughed. While taking the cigarette handed over by the other party, he said with a smile: "Gou baby, why are you free?
Are you here? Do you want to eat fish? Tell uncle and take whatever you want."
The policeman who was treated as a bitch by a man suddenly became very embarrassed. If it was normal for the other party to call him that, he would not care. Anyway, everyone in the village has a nickname, and everyone is used to it.
However, today he did not come alone, but also brought two strangers with him. A policeman was called a dog boy, and it felt awkward no matter what.
"Uncle Yang, I have a great name." The young policeman said half helplessly, half pleadingly.
"Why, after becoming a police officer, your wings become stronger, right? I watched you grow up, so why would I call you a dog if I didn't call you a kid?" The man held the cigarette in his mouth and glared at the young man fiercely.
The policeman glanced at it and said.
"Uncle, uncle, I was wrong. You can call me whatever you want. I have something to do with you." The young policeman didn't want to argue with the man about the title and quickly changed the subject.
Hearing what the young policeman said, the man stopped talking. He took out a disposable lighter and lit a cigarette. Then he raised his head and looked at Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan who were standing next to the young policeman.
The man's eyes passed over Luo Jiayan's body. Finally, he focused on Xu Lang's face and asked with a puzzled expression: "Who are these two police officers?"
Before the young policeman could introduce himself, Xu Lang stepped forward with a smile, looked at the man and asked, "Are you Yang Jiguang, Yang Rongwei's father?"
The man nodded subconsciously, then frowned and looked at Xu Lang, the look of doubt on his face getting stronger.
"My name is Xu Lang, and I am the leader of the CSY Criminal Investigation Team in City S. This is Luo Jiayan, a member of CSY." Xu Lang introduced briefly.
Yang Jiguang smoked a cigarette slowly and looked at Xu Lang. He did not speak in a hurry, but turned his attention to the young policeman, seemingly seeking confirmation.
The young policeman nodded and said, "Uncle Yang, they are indeed police officers from City S."
Hearing what the young police officer said, Yang Jiguang nodded, focused his attention on Xu Lang again, and asked: "What do the two police officers want from me? Is it related to my son?"
Yang Jiguang is almost seventy years old. Although he has little education and doesn’t know many words, he doesn’t know what CSY is.
What department? However, he has rich experience, and Xu Lang asked himself if he was Yang Rongwei's father as soon as he opened his mouth. So, the other party definitely didn't come to him to buy seafood, and besides fishing, he had nothing to do in his life.
If you have done anything illegal and the police are looking for you, it must be related to your disgraced son.
Xu Lang nodded, then looked around and said, "Can we talk somewhere else?"
Yang Jiguang hesitated for a moment, looking at the lively seafood on his stall, wondering if he should move to another place, and the young policeman said: "Uncle Yang, you go talk about things, I'll help you look after the stall here.
."
Hearing what the young policeman said, Yang Jiguang was not polite to him. He nodded and took Xu Lang and the others out of the noisy seafood market and came to a simple cabin. He took out two plastic benches and handed them to Xu Lang and the others.
, he also took out a bench and sat down, and then asked: "The two police officers came to me, has my son caused any trouble again?"
After Xu Lang sat down, he did not immediately answer Yang Jiguang's question. Instead, he took out a photo from his bag and showed it to Yang Jiguang and asked, "Look, is this your son Yang Rongwei?"
Yang Jiguang took the photo, looked at it himself, then nodded and asked, "It's my son. What happened to him? Did he do something wrong again?"
Xu Lang looked at the old man in front of him, who was slightly hunched even when he was sitting, and seemed to be unable to straighten his back. He didn't know how to speak for a moment, or whether he should tell him the truth.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Lang finally asked: "Something has indeed happened to Yang Rongwei."
"What happened to Xiaowei? Did he steal something? Or hit someone? Do we need compensation? Tell me, how much compensation is needed, I will pay according to the price." When Yang Jiguang heard that something happened to his son, he thought
He said without thinking.
"Hmph, can you afford to pay? You think that having money can settle everything. No wonder Yang Rongwei commits crimes. It turns out he has such a father."
Before Xu Lang could speak, Luo Jiayan was muttering quietly from the side, her tone was particularly harsh.
Luo Jiayan's voice was not loud, but the three people present could hear it clearly. Yang Jiguang was shocked when he heard this. He looked at Luo Jiayan in surprise, and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
.
Xu Lang turned his head and glared at Luo Jiayan. The latter stuck out his tongue, made a face at Xu Lang, and blocked Xu Lang's scolding words. Xu Lang shook his head helplessly and turned around with an apology on his face.
He looked at Yang Jiguang and said, "Mr. Yang, I'm sorry, she just joined the police force not long ago and is not sensible. Don't mind."
Yang Jiguang shook his head, looked at Xu Lang and asked: "Officer, please don't beat around the bush with me. Tell me, what happened to Xiao Wei? Although Xiao Wei made mistakes before, he has changed for the better and started again.
As human beings, have you made a mistake?"
Xu Lang did not answer Yang Jiguang's question directly, but took out a stack of photos and handed them to Yang Jiguang.
Yang Jiguang took the photos with a puzzled look on his face and looked at them one by one. He found that these photos were all of half-grown girls, and he didn't recognize them. So, after looking through a few photos, he looked up.
Starting, he looked at Xu Lang and asked, "This is it?"
"A series of vicious cases of rape of young girls have recently occurred in City S. These are photos of the victims." Xu Lang explained.
"What? Do you suspect that my son is a rapist? This is impossible."
After hearing this, Yang Jiguang stood up from the bench suddenly. Because the movement was so large, he even kicked the bench over.
"It's not suspicion, and it has been confirmed that Yang Rongwei is the suspect." Luo Jiayan added at the side.
Yang Jiguang stared at Luo Jiayan blankly for a few seconds, and finally looked at Xu Lang, hoping to get an answer from Xu Lang.
Xu Lang looked at Yang Jiguang, nodded slowly under his hopeful eyes, and said, "She is right."
"How is this possible? How is this possible? How could Xiaowei be a rapist? You really can't be mistaken, right?" Yang Jiguang still couldn't accept this fact. He swayed a little and murmured.
Xu Lang squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Jiguang, carefully observing the emotional changes on his face. Finally, Xu Lang was sure that Yang Jiguang really didn't know what Yang Rongwei had done. If Xu Lang's judgment was wrong, then it could only mean that
This Yang Jiguang is not simple, he must be an actor with very good acting skills. If this is really the case, then is it necessary for Yang Jiguang to go fishing? He might as well become an actor.
"We are the police. We will not draw conclusions easily without sufficient evidence." Xu Lang said slowly.
Hearing what Xu Lang said, the last trace of fantasy in Yang Jiguang's heart was shattered. He staggered down, fixed the bench that had fallen to the ground, and sat down again, still holding the photos in his hand. His eyes were on the photos.
As he glanced over them one by one, his originally bright eyes instantly dimmed.
"These photos are..." Yang Jiguang asked tentatively.
Xu Lang nodded and said: "These are the victims we have investigated so far. As for those who have not been investigated, I am afraid there are many more."
"This bastard should have been detained by the police station for a few more years." A look of anger appeared on Yang Jiguang's face, but he was more helpless.
"Do you know where Yang Rongwei is now?" Xu Lang asked.
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Yang Jiguang suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Lang, and asked in surprise: "Didn't you catch him?"
Xu Lang shook his head
, said: "He could have been caught, but he escaped."
Yang Jiguang instantly understood why Xu Lang and the others came to him. Xu Lang and the others must have come to inquire about Yang Rongwei's whereabouts. Thinking of this, Yang Jiguang shook his head with a wry smile and said helplessly: "You may not believe me, and I don't either.
Do you know where Xiaowei is now?"
"Oh? Really?" Xu Lang suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Yang Jiguang. Obviously, he didn't believe Yang Jiguang's words.
Yang Jiguang saw Xu Lang's distrust, and his smile became more helpless and bitter. He handed the photo in his hand to Xu Lang and said, "Since Xiaowei was released from prison five years ago, he came back and stayed for a while, and then,
He took a sum of money from me and said he would go out to do some business, and since then, he has never come back."
"It's been five years and you haven't contacted each other yet?" Xu Lang asked.
Yang Jiguang shook his head and said: "It's not like we have no contact at all. Every few months, Xiaowei will call me and have a few words."
"What are you talking about?" Xu Lang asked.
"We didn't talk about anything. They just asked me how my health was and advised me not to continue fishing and selling seafood."
"Aren't you curious what he is doing outside?"
"How can I not be curious? After all, he is my son, my only son. However, every time I ask, he talks about his things and doesn't let me worry about them. Moreover, I don't understand even after he said it. Later, I also
I didn’t ask any more questions.”
"Hasn't he come back in the past five years?"
Yang Jiguang shook his head and said, "No."
"Not once?"
"Not once."
"Is he married?" Xu Lang asked.
"No, I don't have a partner, how can I get married?"
"Then does he have a girlfriend?" Xu Lang asked again.
"this......"
Yang Jiguang thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "When he left home, he had no girlfriend or partner. He has not come back in the past few years. I know almost nothing about his situation, and I don't know that he has any
Not in love."
"Yang Rongwei entered the society after graduating from high school. Why didn't he get married? As far as I know, people in your Yangjia Village generally get married very early." Xu Lang said.
Yang Jiguang nodded and said: "We are in a rural area. Although it is very close to the county seat, it is our tradition to get married relatively early. As for why Xiaowei is not married, in fact, I have never understood it. Logically speaking,
Xiaowei wanted to look good and have a house. I bought him two houses in Boyang County. I had already prepared the money for his wedding. There were many girls who liked him, but he just couldn't see it.
Shangyan, when his mother was still alive, introduced him to many girls, but he just didn't like it, and there was nothing I could do about it, hey..."
Hearing this, Xu Lang pondered for a moment, and then asked: "Do Yang Rongwei and Yang Zifei have a good relationship?"
Hearing Xu Lang mention Yang Zifei's name, Yang Jiguang had a complicated expression on his face. He took out his cigarettes, pulled out two cigarettes, and handed one to Xu Lang. Xu Lang shook his head and refused, and then handed one to Luo Jiayan.
Root, Luo Jiayan also refused. He took back the cigarette, held it in his mouth, took out a lighter and lit it, while smoking, he said: "Xiao Fei is a good baby, and Xiao Wei has had a good relationship with her since childhood.
The two of them are like siblings, what a pity, what a pity..."
Xu Lang didn't understand what the pity in Yang Jiguang's words meant. It was a pity that the two of them were just siblings, or it was a pity for something else.
"Xiao Fei's father and I have a very good relationship. We have been good brothers since childhood. As parents, we are very happy to see the two children have such a good relationship. Xiao Wei is still the godson of Xiao Fei's father. However, since Xiao Fei
After getting married, the relationship between Xiaowei and her faded." Yang Jiguang continued.
"Seven years ago, do you know that Yang Rongwei molested Yang Zifei's daughter Ji Haijiao?" Xu Lang asked.
Yang Jiguang nodded, exhaled a thick puff of smoke, and said: "I know, I didn't know about this until Xiaowei was taken away by the police. However, I can't figure out why Xiaowei did this in the first place. He
He has such a good relationship with Xiaofei. Usually, he treats Jiaojiao's doll as well as his own daughter. How could he do such a thing? I didn't believe it at first, but later the police said that Xiaowei himself
They all admitted it, and I even went to the detention center to see Xiaowei and asked him why he did this."
"What did he say?" Xu Lang asked.
Yang Jiguang shook his head and said: "Xiaowei didn't tell me anything. Until now, I still don't understand what is going on."
Xu Lang frowned, thought for a moment and asked, "Besides playing together since childhood, what other relationship do they have between Yang Rongwei and Yang Zifei?"
"What's the relationship? What do you mean?" Yang Jiguang looked at Xu Lang doubtfully.
"For example, a relationship between lovers." Xu Lang said.
"This is impossible, how could they be related?" Yang Jiguang shook his head like a rattle.
"How is it impossible?" Xu Lang asked.
"They are so different in age. Strictly speaking, Yang Rongwei was brought up by Xiao Fei. How could they be related?" Yang Jiguang retorted.
"Then do you know everything about Yang Rongwei and Yang Zifei?" Xu Lang asked again.
Hearing Xu Lang's question, Yang Jiguang fell silent. Obviously, he didn't know.
