Its existence is reasonable, and legality is another issue.
Although more than thirty years have passed since the car accident that Qin Youliang encountered, there are still traces of it. Luo Jiayan found the bus driver named Qiu Jiming based on the files.
Qiu Jiming, male, from Yunnan City, was 32 years old at the time. If he were still alive now, he would be 65 years old. Qiu Jiming had been working for a bus company a long time ago and was an experienced driver with rich driving experience.
, Qiu Jiming has been running long-distance buses from City S to Yunnan City, and there has never been any mistakes. It stands to reason that such an experienced driver will take emergency measures when facing dangerous situations. However, the results of the facts are contrary.
This is extremely unreasonable.
Because it was so long ago, many of the victims had already gone their separate ways and could not be contacted, and the car accidents were handled as accidents. In addition, the police's criminal investigation technology was still very backward, and many key evidences were not preserved.
Now, it is very difficult for Luo Jiayan to investigate the truth about the car accident thirty-three years ago. It can even be said that her hope is slim.
Although it is difficult to find out the truth, Luo Jiayan discovered some anomalies when reviewing Qiu Jiming's relevant information.
Qiu Jiming got married very early. Although Qiu Jiming is from Yunnan City, he went to live in S City a long time ago. Finally, he settled in S City and bought an old house with two bedrooms and one living room.
, his life is pretty good, but his household registration has not been moved to S city.
Qiu Jiming's wife is from S City. She used to be the conductor of Qiu Jiming's long-distance bus. The two of them took the bus together in the early stage. After a long time, they naturally developed a relationship. After they had a relationship, the two got married. After the marriage,
Less than a year later, the woman became pregnant. After that, the woman gave birth to a daughter. Another year later, the woman became pregnant again, and this time she gave birth to a son. She had both children. Logically speaking, she should be a very happy family.
In fact, many people will be extra cautious in everything they do after they get married, especially after they have children. After all, men are the backbone of the family. When Qiu Jiming passed away, the older of his two children was
Five years old, the youngest is only three years old, and Qiu Jiming's wife no longer goes to work because she has to take care of the children. The family of four is supported by Qiu Jiming alone.
After Qiu Jiming's car accident, Qiu Jiming was originally responsible for compensation because he was drunk and driving while fatigued. However, Qiu Jiming's family was also living in a tight situation, so the bus company took full responsibility and did not let Qiu Jiming's wife
Compensation was made, and the bus company also gave Qiu Jiming's wife a burial fee out of humanitarianism, which was considered a small amount of compensation. After all, Qiu Jiming had worked for the bus company for nearly ten years.
These information are all normal. What makes Luo Jiayan feel abnormal is that after the car accident was determined to be an accident, Qiu Jiming's wife moved into a large house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Not only that, she also
Working in Qin Youqi's factory, all the expenses for her two children from elementary school to graduation were not borne by her, but by Qin Youqi.
Thirty-three years have passed. Qiu Jiming's eldest daughter is already thirty-eight years old. She has already gotten married and has children of her own. The younger son is already thirty-six years old and has also gotten married and has children. However, now he
They are divorced, and they are currently divorced. As for Qiu Jiming's wife, she has also retired, and her living expenses are all contracted by Qin Youqi's factory.
Logically speaking, although the car accident was caused by an accident, Qiu Jiming was the driver of the bus. He was driving drunk and driving while fatigued, which was a violation of the law. Qin Youliang was Qin Youqi's brother and the brother of the same mother. He died there.
During the car accident, it would have been nice for Qin Youqi not to hate Qiu Jiming. At least he should have stayed away from each other until death. This is human nature. However, Qin Youqi not only did not blame Qiu Jiming's family, but also took the initiative to help them.
As a family, this cannot be justified emotionally or rationally.
Anyone who does anything has a certain purpose. Qin Youqi's extraordinary behavior must have his purpose, and this purpose may be related to the original car accident.
After Luo Jiayan investigated here, she immediately reported the situation to Xu Lang.
After receiving the report from Luo Jiayan, Xu Lang immediately used this clue to find Qiu Jiming's family members.
Qiu Jiming's wife is Zhao Shuzhen, a native of City S. She is 62 years old this year. She has been working in Qin Youqi's factory before. She is not a worker doing manual labor in the factory area, but a person responsible for managing logistics. Although the work is tedious,
But overall, it is still very relaxed. She retired two years ago when she reached retirement age. After retirement, the factory gave her a pension every year. Overall, her life was pretty good.
After Qiu Jiming passed away, Zhao Shuzhen raised her two children alone and has not remarried yet. It is still unclear why she did this.
Xu Lang first went to Qin Youqi's factory. According to the address provided by the workers at Qin Youqi's factory, Zhao Shuzhen's home was not far from the factory and Qin Youqi. It was an old-fashioned house with three bedrooms and two living rooms. The house was quite big, but the style was a bit old.
.
When Xu Lang found Zhao Shuzhen, she was walking her dog downstairs.
Zhao Shuzhen is relatively short, only about 1.6 meters tall. She is also dressed very plainly, similar to most old ladies. Her hair is not gray yet, and she has short hair that reaches her ears. She looks very energetic, if not for her face.
With her wrinkles, it was hard to tell that she was an elderly person in her sixties. She was holding a golden retriever in her hand, walking on the street with one person and one dog. She looked very
of harmony.
When Xu Lang stood in front of Zhao Shuzhen, she did not feel the slightest surprise. A pair of slightly cloudy but still bright eyes looked at Xu Lang and Fan Yang, and then spoke.
"You are the police, right? Tell me, what do you want from me?"
Xu Lang, who was originally thinking about how to explain his identity to Zhao Shuzhen, was slightly stunned when Zhao Shuzhen came straight to the point, and frowned subconsciously, but Xu Lang didn't think much about it.
"Hello, I am the leader of the CSY Criminal Investigation Team in City S. My name is Xu Lang, and this is my colleague Fan Yang. I am here to find out some information from you today."
After Xu Lang finished speaking, he took out his ID and showed it to Zhao Shuzhen.
Zhao Shuzhen raised her head, glanced at Xu Lang's police certificate, then looked at Xu Lang and said, "What do you want to know? What can I, an old lady living alone, know?"
"Is it convenient for us to go to your home to talk?" Xu Lang hesitated and asked.
"Okay, but I have to buy groceries now, how about we go together?" Zhao Shuzhen said.
Fan Yang was about to refuse, but Xu Lang nodded and said, "Okay."
Faced with Xu Lang's unhesitating agreement, Zhao Shuzhen was slightly stunned. However, she did not object and walked towards the vegetable market opposite, with Xu Lang and Fan Yang following closely behind.
The vegetable market is always so lively and dirty. There are many people buying vegetables here. You can buy all kinds of common ingredients such as chicken, duck, fish, eggplant, cucumber and so on.
After Zhao Shuzhen entered the vegetable market, she was not in a hurry to buy vegetables. Instead, she wandered around many vegetable stalls. These vegetable vendors were all familiar with Zhao Shuzhen. After seeing Zhao Shuzhen, they could all chat with each other. In the past, Zhao Shuzhen was always alone.
He took the dog to buy groceries, and this time, Xu Lang and Fan Yang were behind him, which naturally attracted the attention of others.
"Sister Zhao, what are you going to buy today? The vegetables here are all the freshest. We have guests at home. What do you think of my tofu? Want some?" The proprietress of a tofu stall said with a smile after seeing Zhao Shuzhen.
, but his eyes kept scanning towards Xu Lang and Fan Yang.
"Then have some."
Zhao Shuzhen did not hesitate and picked two pieces of tofu.
"Are these two your relatives or lovers?" the landlady asked with a smile while weighing the dishes.
Zhao Shuzhen turned her head, glanced at Xu Lang and Fan Yang, and said lightly: "Maybe."
After giving money and getting the food, Xu Lang took the packaged tofu from the proprietress's hands very sensibly, and Zhao Shuzhen did not stop him.
Next, the three of them walked around the vegetable market for a long time. Zhao Shuzhen bought some vegetables and a fish before walking out of the vegetable market.
There was a lot of noise in their ears just now, but after walking out of the vegetable market, it suddenly became quiet, and both Xu Lang and Fan Yang breathed a sigh of relief.
After following Zhao Shuzhen home, Xu Lang and the others planned to change their shoes, but Zhao Shuzhen signaled to Xu Lang that they would not need to. Xu Lang didn't hesitate and just carried the things to the kitchen and put them away. After washing his hands, he came to the living room.
When entering the kitchen, Xu Lang discovered that there were not many tableware in the kitchen and they were very well organized. There were several bowls for eating, but there was only one commonly used bowl. When he entered the door, Xu Lang discovered that,
There is a pair of women's slippers on the shoe cabinet at the door. Although there are also men's and children's slippers on the shoe cabinet, they are all placed under the shoe cabinet. The furnishings in the living room also show that Zhao Shuzhen lives alone.
.
Coming to the living room, Xu Lang sat down on the sofa, and Zhao Shuzhen also poured a glass of water for Xu Lang and the others. Then, she sat on a single sofa with her legs crossed, holding the dog in her arms, and looking at Xu Lang
and Fan Yang.
"Tell me, why are you coming to see me? If it's about things in the factory, then I have nothing to say. I have retired." Zhao Shuzhen said calmly.
Xu Lang, who had just picked up the water cup to drink, smiled when he heard what Zhao Shuzhen said, put down the cup in his hand, looked at Zhao Shuzhen, and said straight to the point: "We are here to find you, it is indeed related to Qin Youqi's factory.
, but it doesn’t have much to do with it.”
"Oh, then what do you want to know from me?" Zhao Shuzhen finally asked with a little interest.
Xu Lang was not in a hurry to speak at this time, but looked around at this large but lonely house.
After looking at it for a while, Xu Lang looked away and asked: "Do you live alone?"
"My daughter is married, my son has started a family, and has bought his own house. But I'm old, and they don't want to live with me, an old woman."
Zhao Shuzhen said it very calmly.
"I heard that your son worked as a supervisor in your old factory, right?" Xu Lang asked.
Zhao Shuzhen nodded and said, "Yes, I have some friendship with Qin Youqi, the owner of the factory. After I retired, my son went to work in the factory. Is there anything wrong with this?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said: "There is nothing impossible."
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
Seeing that Xu Lang still wanted to make detours, Zhao Shuzhen became a little impatient.
"I want to know the relationship between you and Qin Youqi." Xu Lang said directly without beating around the bush.
"hehe......"
Zhao Shuzhen was stunned for a moment. Instead of being furious as Xu Lang imagined, she yelled.
She looked at Xu Lang and smiled, which made Xu Lang frown.
"As a woman who has been a widow for most of my life, what relationship do I have with Qin Youqi? If I do, it was only in the past. He was the owner of the factory and I worked in his factory. It was just a simple employment relationship."
"Oh? Is it really that simple?" Xu Lang asked with a smile.
"It's that simple, otherwise? What kind of relationship do you think it is? A relationship between lovers? Haha... You don't even look at how old I am. How old is he and how old am I?"
Zhao Shuzhen spoke very directly, which made Xu Lang speechless for a moment, but Xu Lang calmed down quickly.
"What is the relationship between your husband Qiu Jiming and Qin Youqi?" After Xu Lang calmed down, he looked at Zhao Shuzhen and asked.
Hearing Xu Lang mention her dead husband Qiu Jiming, Zhao Shuzhen's expression finally changed. She subconsciously sat up straight, looked at Xu Lang and asked: "My husband has been dead for more than thirty years, why are you asking this all of a sudden?
"
"Can't I ask?"
Zhao Shuzhen narrowed her eyes and kept stroking the puppy's head with a pair of relatively round hands.
"It doesn't matter." Zhao Shuzhen said after being silent for a while.
"However, according to our investigation, Qiu Jiming and Qin Youqi have known each other a long time ago. I heard that the relationship between the two is very good. Is that true?"
"What exactly do you want to ask?"
"As I said just now, I want to know what the relationship between Qiu Jiming and Qin Youqi is."
Zhao Shuzhen was silent again. She looked at Xu Lang, then at Fan Yang who was recording, and finally, her eyes stopped on Xu Lang's face.
"It's been too long. My husband passed away early, and I don't know what the relationship was between them."
"Oh? Really?"
Zhao Shuzhen nodded, no longer looking at Xu Lang, but looking down at the little brother in her arms, and said, "Yes, I'm old and can't remember clearly."
"Do you know Qin Youliang, Qin Youqi's brother?" Xu Lang suddenly asked.
"Woof woof woof..."
When Xu Lang said Qin Youliang's name, the puppy that was lying on Zhao Shuzhen's lap suddenly barked. It stood up from Zhao Shuzhen's lap, turned its head, and looked at Zhao Shuzhen with a blank expression, and Zhao Shuzhen's hand
There's a bunch of dog hair in it.
"It seems like you know each other, right?"
Zhao Shuzhen put the puppy down and threw the dog hair into the trash can. Then she raised her head, looked at Xu Lang, and said, "We know each other, but we're not familiar with each other. What's wrong?"
"Thirty-three years ago, Qin Youliang was riding in a bus driven by your husband Qiu Jiming, and there was a car accident. Your husband and Qin Youliang were both killed in the car accident. Qin Youliang was Qin Youqi's brother, but you went to work in Qin Youqi's factory afterwards.
,Why?" Xu Lang asked.
Zhao Shuzhen squinted her eyes and stared into Xu Lang's eyes for a long time before she said, "Didn't that matter already come to a conclusion? Is there any problem?"
Xu Lang picked up the cold water on the table and took a sip. Holding the tea cup, Xu Lang looked at Zhao Shuzhen and asked: "Qin Youqi and his wife left S City. Their youngest son Qin Fen disappeared, and the eldest son passed away.
Do you know?"
Zhao Shuzhen's brows became more and more frowned, and with her movement, many wrinkles suddenly appeared on her face that originally didn't have many wrinkles. It was not until this time that it was confirmed that Zhao Shuzhen was in her sixties.
Old man.
Zhao Shuzhen nodded and said: "I know, it's been reported in the news, but what does this have to do with me? I'm just a retired old lady. Comrade police, have you found the wrong person?"
Xu Lang shook his head and said: "We found it right. Qin Youqi's eldest son Qin Fen is not called Qin Fen, but Qin Liang. He is the child of Qin Youliang and Qiao Lina, and Qiao Lina is now Qin Youqi's wife. Your husband
I know Qin Youqi and are very familiar with him. Thirty-three years ago, your husband's bus had a car accident. Both Qiu Jiming and Qin Youliang died, but Qin Youqi survived. You also moved after the incident and came to live here.
You also went to work in Qin Youqi's factory. I want to know, why did you do this? What benefits did Qin Youqi give you? What is the relationship between you and Qin Youqi? How much do you know about Qin Youqi's family? "
Xu Lang asked Zhao Shuzhen a series of questions one after another, and Zhao Shuzhen's expression became complicated. She was flustered, sad, and a little guilty, but mostly complicated.
"Why are you telling me this? Something happened to Qin Youqi's family. What does it have to do with me? As for the Qin Youliang, Qin Fen, or Qin Liang you are talking about, I don't know them, and I don't want to know them. They are dead.
What does it have to do with me? In addition, let me tell you, I have no relationship with Qin Youqi. He was my boss when I was working. Now that I have retired, there is no relationship anymore. There was no relationship before, there will be no relationship now, and there will be no relationship in the future.
Not even." After being silent for a while, Zhao Shuzhen suddenly calmed down and looked at Xu Lang with an ugly expression.
"Zhao Shuzhen, as a citizen, you are obliged to cooperate with our police work. Now, we just come to your home to question you. If you don't cooperate, we will have to change the place to chat." Xu Lang frowned and said.
"Is there anything else? If nothing happens, please leave. I'm going to cook."
Zhao Shuzhen didn't give Xu Lang any face and started driving people away.
