Changkuai Transportation Company has developed very rapidly since its establishment and started to make profits. As for the specific business of the company, Chen Yuzhen is not very clear. She only knows that the company is engaged in smuggling and selling wild protected animals, and she knows this because she is
It was just something she saw accidentally, but even if she saw it, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she didn't think it was a crime.
Now, with the development of people's economy, their lives are getting better and better, and their requirements for life are getting higher and higher. In terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation, many people want to try new things, such as eating dog meat.
, eating rat meat and other novel things. When Chen Yuzhen and the others were young, because their family was poor and they did not have enough to eat, they tried to eat everything they could eat. Therefore, for the smuggling of wild protected animals
She doesn't think it's a crime and selling, not to mention, she doesn't have to do anything and can still get the money, so why not, as long as the person being sold isn't a human being.
About a year ago, after Changkuai Transportation Company was completely on the right track, Chen Qiumin suddenly chose to leave Changkuai Company and chose to live in Fuyuan Hotel in Chengbei District. No one knew what he was thinking.
When Chen Qiumin first checked into Fuyuan Hotel, Song Jinzhong and his wife went to see Chen Qiumin. There was a fierce quarrel between the two parties. Chen Yuzhen didn't know what the quarrel was about, but she knew that since that quarrel
, Song Jinzhong never went to see Chen Qiumin again. As for Chen Yuzhen and the others, Chen Qiumin would not let them go.
Chen Yuzhen didn't know why Chen Qiumin left Changkuai Company and chose to live in Fuyuan Hotel. However, the company's business was getting better and better, and she received more and more money, and she started shopping like crazy to satisfy her with all material things.
on demand.
After Xu Lang listened to Chen Yuzhen's confession, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Aren't you curious about what kind of business Chen Qiumin and the others are engaged in?"
Chen Yuzhen shook her head and said: "I'm not curious. I have been with a few of them since I was a child. I just follow what they do. And most of the time, they don't let me do anything. Since Chen Qiumin
They took us to City S and started making money. Since there was money to take and they didn’t tell me what they were doing, I didn’t need to ask and I didn’t want to know. Besides, I couldn’t do many things well. Anyway,
As long as I can get money, other things have nothing to do with me."
"How much do you know about Changkui Transportation Company?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.
"I don't know much. I only know that Song Jinzhong is the nominal boss of Changkuai Company. He is Chen Zhen's uncle, and Chen Zhen is the manager of the company. As for what they are doing, I really don't know." Chen Yuzhen said.
Hearing this, Xu Lang and Ding Haoqiong looked at each other. Obviously, they didn't believe what Chen Yuzhen said. However, there is currently no evidence to prove that she knew what Chen Zhen and the others had done.
However, based on Chen Yuzhen's confession, Xu Lang and the others mastered a lot of information that they had not mastered before.
First, Chen Qiumin and Chen Zhen are a gang composed of peers from the same village. Chen Qiumin is the leader of the gang, while Chen Zhen is just a military advisor. This is different from Xu Lang's speculation after meeting Chen Zhen.
.
Second, Chen Zhen and others are indeed engaged in smuggling and selling wild protected animals. This has been confirmed before. Now, Chen Yuzhen's confession only further confirms this matter.
Third, although Chen Yuzhen didn't know much about Changkuai Company, Xu Lang could be sure that the matter of smuggling and selling wild protected animals was definitely not something that Chen Qiumin and the other young people could handle. First of all, Song Jinzhong
It is very abnormal for someone who is so much older than them to be willing to work with them. What's more, the people in several other positions in Changkui Company are older than Chen Qiumin and have richer social experience.
Obviously, Changkui Company can make crazy profits in a short period of time, and there must be other people behind it.
"How much do you know about Chen Qiumin?" Xu Lang asked.
"I know everything about his childhood. As for what happened after he came to S City, I don't know much about it," Chen Yuzhen said.
"What kind of person is Chen Qiumin?"
"How should I put it? Chen Qiumin has been fat since he was a child and has a weird temper. Moreover, he is full of curiosity about all new things. In addition, he is actually very smart. Even though he is so fat, he does everything
Everything has been planned in advance, we just have to do things according to his plan."
Hearing what Chen Yuzhen said, Xu Lang frowned.
Chen Yuzhen's evaluation of Chen Qiumin is very different from Xu Lang's previous investigation results.
"Why are you willing to play with Chen Qiumin?" Xu Lang asked again.
"Chen Qiumin is very smart, and he always leads us to discover new things. I find it very interesting to play with him. As for what other people think, I don't know."
"That's it." Xu Lang held his chin with one hand and muttered to himself.
"Oh, by the way, the most important thing is that he has a very good relationship with the uncle."
"Uncle? Are you talking about Uncle Li?" Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, then asked.
"Yes, why, you know that the uncle is Uncle Li, have you met him?" Chen Yuzhen was also stunned and asked.
Xu Lang did not answer Chen Yuzhen's question, but asked: "What kind of person is Uncle Li?"
Chen Yuzhen did not answer this question immediately, but pondered
After waiting for a while, Xu Lang was not in a hurry and did not rush, but waited patiently.
"The uncle's status in our village is very special and strange." Chen Yuzhen said with a frown.
"Special? Strange? Why is it special and strange?" Xu Lang asked quickly.
"I can't tell you the specifics. When I was very young, my uncle was in our village. He had no wife and no children. He lived alone in the innermost part of the village. My deepest impression of him is that this man
He likes to smoke dry cigarettes, and he is indifferent and cold to everyone, like a living dead."
"What's so special and strange about this?" Xu Lang frowned and asked in confusion.
"However, people in the village respect him, or are afraid of him. When I was a child, the village was very poor, but the uncle was always able to make us eat. Once something happened in the village, no matter the villagers
Whether they are the president or the secretary, they will go to the uncle to discuss it, and they almost obey the uncle's words." Chen Yuzhen said slowly.
"What's the uncle's name?" Xu Lang asked.
"I don't know his specific name. I only heard people from the older generation call him Uncle Li."
"Then what's his surname? Is it the same surname as yours?" Xu Lang asked again.
Chen Yuzhen shook her head and said, "I don't know. I once asked Chen Zhen and the others, and they didn't seem to know either. The only one who knows Uncle Li's surname seems to be Chen Qiumin."
"Chen Qiumin knows? They have a good relationship?"
"Well, the uncle doesn't have a good attitude toward anyone, except Chen Qiumin. When we were young, the uncle often took Chen Qiumin to play around the village and taught Chen Qiumin a lot of things."
"Why is their relationship so good?"
"I don't know, but I heard by chance that the uncle and Chen Qiumin's grandfather are good friends, very close friends."
"That's it."
Xu Lang fell into deep thought.
This time Xu Lang went to Chenjiahe Village. In addition to seeing the village chief Chen Weiguo, he also saw Uncle Li. When he saw Uncle Li, Xu Lang felt that this man was putting a lot of pressure on him. Chen Yuzhen was not at all
I'm wrong. Uncle Li doesn't have much aura of living people on his body. He really looks like a living dead. Moreover, there is no expression on his face, especially his eyes that have become cloudy due to age.
When he looked at Xu Lang, there was always a cold light flashing, which gave Xu Lang a creepy feeling.
Putting aside the series of incidents that happened in Chenjiahe Village, when Xu Lang saw Uncle Li, he felt that Uncle Li was like an ancient soldier who climbed out of a pile of dead people. Xu Lang felt that Uncle Li must have
He had killed people, and more than one person. Of course, this was just Xu Lang's feeling when he saw Uncle Li. As for whether this was the real situation, Xu Lang was not sure yet.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang suddenly remembered another thing, that was about Grandpa Chen Qiumin.
Chen Qiumin's grandfather was a soldier and went to the battlefield before. He also became disabled because of the war. Later, after returning to Chenjiahe Village, he never left again.
Since Chen Qiumin's grandfather was a soldier and fought in wars, then if Uncle Li has a good relationship with Chen Qiumin's grandfather, has he also been on the battlefield?
If this is really the case, then it makes sense that Xu Lang felt the strange feeling in Uncle Li. People who have been on the battlefield and experienced artillery fire and blood baptism will be different from ordinary people.
, most murderers, when they kill, will instinctively feel fear and nausea the moment they see blood. Of course, except for those perverted murderers, people who have experienced the baptism of blood, they treat life
, especially human life, this will not happen, or in other words, they have adapted to death.
Just like when Xu Lang shot and killed the criminal for the first time, when the bullet hit the criminal's head and the scarlet blood mixed with white brain matter spattered out, Xu Lang felt nausea, fear, and
Afraid, but as time goes by, he faces more and more dangers. When arresting the prisoner, Xu Lang can calmly shoot without shaking his hands again, even though he feels in his heart
It's uncomfortable, but he has adapted to it.
The battlefield is a human meat grinder. Death is the most common and common thing on the battlefield. When facing the enemy, the only way to survive is to kill the opponent. On the battlefield, especially in the last century
In war, there is no morality or law to speak of, let alone humanity. If you want to survive, there is no other way but to rise up and resist.
Of course, now is a time of peace, and war has long been a thing of the past. However, although the war is over, the people who participated in the war are still alive. Chen Qiumin's grandfather participated in the war and survived on the battlefield, but...
Now he has passed away, but what about Uncle Li? Has he ever been on the battlefield? If so, then the problem becomes serious.
"Does Chen Qiumin have the habit of cannibalism?" Xu Lang asked after a long silence.
"Ah? Cannibalism? Impossible. If he eats some weird things, I believe that cannibalism should be impossible."
When Chen Yuzhen said this, she seemed to remember something, frowned, and added with some uncertainty: "However, with Chen Qiumin's character, cannibalism is not impossible."
"Why do you say that?" Xu Lang asked.
"I started talking about this when I was a child..."
List
When Qiu Min first started, he was actually not that fat. His grandfather was still alive and his grandfather often took him to roam the mountains around the village, which was no different from ordinary old people in rural areas.
In rural areas, snakes, pheasants, mice, frogs, toads and the like are very common. Chen Qiumin's grandfather often took Chen Qiumin to the mountains to catch these animals, and then brought them home, skinned and cramped them, and cooked them
, and Chen Qiumin always ate with gusto. Later, Chen Qiumin often took Chen Yuzhen and the others to play in the big river in front of the village.
At that time, the river was not what Xu Lang and the others had seen. There were still many fish, crabs and other things in the river. Chen Qiumin often made a small nest on the bank of the fish, crabs and other animals he caught.
You can cook it in an earthen stove over a fire. Although it doesn't taste very good, it's still edible.
Later, after Chen Qiumin's grandfather passed away, Chen Qiumin changed a lot, and his body suddenly started to gain weight. Although he still looked the same as before, his methods of treating those animals became more and more cruel, such as giving birth to animals.
Eat crabs, such as catching some wild cats and beating them to death. In short, after the death of his grandfather, Chen Qiumin's whole person changed a lot, and he became more and more gloomy.
Before they left Chenjiahe Village, Chen Yuzhen saw that Chen Qiumin had eaten many animals, some of them raw. This made Chen Yuzhen feel incredible, but she didn't think much about it.
When they came to S city and founded Changkuai Company, he became much normal. However, since he went to live in Fuyuan Hotel, Chen Yuzhen discovered that Chen Wang would always get some strange animals, cook them, and send them to him.
Go to Fuyuan Hotel. However, at that time, Chen Yuzhen had no direct contact with Chen Qiumin, and she didn't think much about it. Now, when Xu Lang said that Chen Qiumin was a cannibal, she thought it was incredible at first, but...
Thinking about it carefully, I don't think it's impossible.
After hearing what Chen Yuzhen said, Xu Lang frowned.
After a while, Xu Lang asked: "Did you kill Chen Wang?"
Chen Yuzhen shook her head and said, "I know about Chen Wang's death, but I didn't kill him."
"Who killed it?" Xu Lang asked.
"This...this..."
Chen Yuzhen suddenly hesitated.
"Chen Yuzhen, at this point, what else do you want to hide?" Ding Haoqiong suddenly said.
Chen Yuzhen raised her head and glanced at Ding Haoqiong who was speaking, then looked at Xu Lang, lowered her head and said: "After Chen Qiumin was killed, we knew about it, and we also knew that you would definitely go to Chenjiahe Village to investigate. Before you go to Chenjiahe Village,
During the investigation in Jiahe Village, several of us got together and met once."
"Where did we meet?"
“In room 1503 of the Changda Hotel.”
"Who are you meeting? What are you meeting for?"
"I, along with Chen Zhen, Chen Wang, Chen Shan and Chen Qiang, met just to discuss what to do next."
"Chen Qiang is here too?" Xu Lang frowned and asked.
Chen Yuzhen nodded and said, "He rushed to City S that night to deliver the message on behalf of the uncle."
"What words do you convey?"
"Let us suspend our current business and wait until the storm has passed."
"What happened next?"
"We didn't dare to disobey the uncle's order, so we naturally agreed. However, Chen Wang was worried that the police would find him because he had been to Fuyuan Hotel and visited Chen Qiumin. He was very scared and proposed to break up the group and share the money.
Then he ran away. He has been very timid since he was a child and is most greedy for life and afraid of death."
"So, you just killed him?" Xu Lang asked.
"No, Chen Wang and Chen Zhen had a fierce quarrel. Finally, he left early. Before leaving, he asked Chen Zhen to give him his share of the money. He was ready to run away."
"Then what?"
"Then, Chen Qiang and I also left, leaving only Chen Zhen and Chen Shan in the room. I didn't know where they were and what they were doing, but I could tell that Chen Zhen had murderous intentions towards Chen Wang. Sure enough, the next day,
Chen Wang died, and his body was quickly discovered by your police."
"So, Chen Wang was killed by Chen Zhen and Chen Shan?"
"I'm not sure about this either."
"What about Chen Shan? Where is he now?"
Chen Yuzhen shook her head and said: "I don't know, the day after Chen Wang was killed, the uncle came to S City, scolded us all and told us to be more honest recently, and then he left, Chen Shan
At what time did he disappear? As for where he went, I don’t know. He probably went back to the village with the uncle."
After hearing this, Xu Lang's expression became more solemn.
Chen Zhen, Chen Yuzhen and Chen Bo were all arrested, and Chen Qiang should have escaped with Chen Weiguo and the others. Among the seven of them, Chen Qiumin and Chen Wang have been killed, and only Chen Qiang and Chen Shan are left. Chen Qiang's whereabouts
It is basically confirmed that as long as the special police find Chen Weiguo and the others, they should be able to find Chen Qiang. But, where is Chen Shan now?
In Chenjiahe Village, Xu Lang did not see Chen Shan, and when Chen Zhen and the others were arrested, Chen Shan was not with them. Obviously, Chen Shan was the only one among the seven of them who did not know his specific whereabouts. Could it be that
