In the police car outside the community, Xu Lang was sitting in the driver's seat, with his hands on the steering wheel, looking forward, his face gloomy, while Fan Yang was sitting in the passenger seat, also frowning at Xu Lang.
"Brother Lang, I think Zhao Shuzhen must know something." Fan Yang said after being silent for a while.
"I know."
Xu Lang replied in a muffled voice.
"Then what should we do next? Should we go find her son and daughter and ask?" Fan Yang suggested.
Xu Lang shook his head and said nothing.
Xu Lang didn't know what Fan Yang just said. Qiu Jiming was the bus driver in the car accident, and Qin Youliang died in the car accident. Although the accident was a big factor, Qiu Jiming has an unshirkable responsibility, and Qin Youqi, as Qin Youliang's younger brother,
He should not spare no effort to help Qiu Jiming's family members, either emotionally or rationally.
Qin Youliang's former wife Qiao Na is now Qin Youqi's wife, and Qin Youliang and Qiao Na's child Qin Liang was also raised by them. However, after more than ten years of hard work in raising him, he suddenly disappeared.
Being kept in captivity like a pet dog has a weird smell to it.
The children of my brother and the family members of the perpetrators who caused his murder can be clearly distinguished by each individual. However, the current result is completely opposite to the truth. As Qiu Jiming's wife, Zhao Shuzhen has been with Qiu Jiming for more than 30 years.
They are all under the care of Qin Youqi, so it is impossible for them to know nothing, and Xu Lang and the others also know that Zhao Shuzhen knows some truths. The problem is that Zhao Shuzhen insists that she does not know, and Xu Lang and the others cannot accuse Zhao Shuzhen without sufficient evidence.
What measures to take.
Back then, it was Qiu Jiming who caused the car accident, and Qiu Jiming was killed in that car accident. Now, more than thirty years have passed, and the truth is no longer known. However, that car accident seemed to be purely accidental.
, there may be something hidden, Zhao Shuzhen may know the truth, but she refuses to tell. As for why she refuses to tell, she must have her scruples. Even if Xu Lang and the others now suspect that the car accident thirty-three years ago was not an accident, but
It was man-made and had nothing to do with Zhao Shuzhen. She had nothing to do with the case itself, but she and her two children were the biggest beneficiaries.
Xu Lang and Luo Jiayan, who was far away in Yunnan City, had the same idea and had the same guess.
Thirty-three years ago, the accidental car accident that resulted in the death of many people may not have been a car accident, but a human design. It may even be that Qiu Jiming's death was planned in advance.
If this guess is true, combined with the clues currently investigated, a general clue will emerge.
Qin Youqi and Qiu Jiming knew each other. After Qin Youqi and Qin Youliang returned to Yunnan City to finish their business, the two people who were supposed to return together did not take the same long-distance bus. At that time, it rained continuously in Yunnan City for more than half a month.
It led to landslides and mudslides in many places. Before Qin Youliang's car accident, there had been several similar car accidents. However, no one was killed at that time. However, Qin Youliang's car accident killed someone. With the lessons learned from the past, many people at best think that Qin Youliang
The deceased were just unlucky. This was the biggest reason why the car accident was deemed an accident in the first place.
Before Qiu Jiming set off from Yunnan City, he had dinner and drank wine with Qin Youqi. As a driver with rich experience, it was impossible for Qiu Jiming not to know that he was going to drive and not to drink, and it was also impossible for Qin Youqi not to know that Qiu Jiming was going to drive.
, However, they still drank, which was obviously intentional. This may have been agreed between Qin Youqi and Qiu Jiming, or Qiu Jiming may not know anything. What is the truth? Qiu Jiming is dead, and only Qin Youqi knows.
The place where the car accident occurred was the place where a car accident had occurred before. It stands to reason that the driver should be more careful and cautious to avoid another car accident. However, the accident still happened. The bus was washed out of the road by a mudslide.
However, Qiu Jiming did not take emergency measures, which resulted in the death of someone. The reason why Qiu Jiming did not take emergency measures may be related to his fatigue driving and drunkenness, or it may be that he deliberately failed to take action.
The car accident was deemed an accident. Qiu Jiming died, Qin Youliang died, Qin Youqi married Qiao Na, who is now murdered in Yunnan City, and Qiu Jiming died. However, his wife and children were taken care of by Qin Youqi.
After more than 30 years of care, Zhao Shuzhen and her family of three are the biggest beneficiaries.
If Xu Lang's guess is true, then if the 'accidental' car accident was man-made, the purpose may be to kill Qin Youliang. However, problems also arise.
First, why did Qin Youliang return to Yunnan City with his younger brother Qin Youqi when he had already returned to S City not long after his marriage? What were they going back to do? And the two brothers went back together?
Second, on the way back, why didn’t Qin Youqi go back with him?
Third, what role did Qiu Jiming play in this accident? Was he a victim who knew nothing, an insider, or a direct participant?
Fourth, if this accident was carefully planned by Qin Youqi, then what was his motive? What was his purpose? For that woman Qiaona?
Fifth, as Qiu Jiming’s wife, what does Zhao Shuzhen know? Why doesn’t she tell the truth if she knows it?
The first two questions require Luo Jiayan to continue in-depth investigation in Yunnan City.
As for the third question, only Qin Youqi knew about it. Unless he said it himself, it would be impossible for Xu Lang and the others to know the truth. The last question was also very critical. Xu Lang had to find a way to open a breakthrough from Zhao Shuzhen.
, so as to know the inside story.
However, how to make a breakthrough is another big question.
Just now Fan Yang proposed to find Zhao Shuzhen's two children to inquire about the situation, but Xu Lang refused. His reason was very simple.
First of all, when Qiu Jiming passed away, the two children were still young, one was only five years old and the other was only three years old. They had just gotten to know the world. What could they know? What's more, more than thirty years have passed now.
, how could they still remember what happened when they were children? Secondly, even if they knew something, they definitely didn’t know much. And Xu Lang and the others went to find Zhao Shuzhen. If Zhao Shuzhen really wanted to hide it, it is estimated that after Xu Lang and the others left her
When we got home, Zhao Shuzhen's two children had already received the call.
With these two reasons, even if Xu Lang and the others go to find them now, the result is estimated to be the same as now. We still have to focus on Zhao Shuzhen. Opening a breakthrough from her is the easiest and most difficult way.
.
There were seven people in those days, Qin Youliang, Qin Youqi, Qiao Lina, Qiu Jiming, Zhao Shuzhen, and now Qin Liang and Qin Fen. There are only three people alive now, Qin Youqi, Qin Fen and Zhao Shuzhen. However, whether Qin Youqi
Still alive, Xu Lang still needs to raise a question mark, but Zhao Shuzhen doesn't say anything, and the problem is difficult to solve.
The simplest way is to find Qin Youqi, interrogate him, and ask him to tell Xu Lang the truth. However, Qin Youqi doesn't know where he is now, how can he interrogate him?
When Luo Jiayan reported Qiu Jiming's situation to Xu Lang, she also mentioned the results of Yunnan City's search for Qin Youqi and Qin Fen. The result was that there was no result. Qin Youqi and Qin Fen were no longer in Yunnan City, so Xu Lang and the others
We still can't place our hopes on Qin Youqi. However, if we want to break through Zhao Shuzhen, where should we start?
Zhao Shuzhen is already sixty-two years old and has reached retirement age. She has now retired and her two children have started their own families. With her own family, Zhao Shuzhen has nothing to worry about. Before coming to find Zhao Shuzhen, Xu Shuzhen
Lang also checked the relevant information on Zhao Shuzhen, and the information was very simple.
Zhao Shuzhen and Qiu Jiming used to work in the same bus company. After they got married, she became a housewife. Later, Qiu Jiming passed away, and she moved with her two children and went to work in Qin Youqi's factory until she retired.
She has no criminal record and no lawsuits. She just looks like an ordinary old lady.
If you want to open a breakthrough from Zhao Shuzhen, you must find the relationship between her and Qin Youqi. They should not be lovers. This can be determined from the previous investigation. If Zhao Shuzhen and Qin Youqi are lovers, they will be more than thirty years old.
Years have passed, and outsiders cannot be ignorant of it. After all, there is no airtight wall in this world.
If it's not a relationship between lovers, then it must be a relationship of interest. But what kind of relationship of interest can allow them to maintain this relationship? Even after Qin Youqi disappeared, did Zhao Shuzhen have to hide it for him?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang decided to investigate the economic dealings between Zhao Shuzhen and Qin Youqi, and interviewed some old workers in the mechanical processing factory who were about the same age as Zhao Shuzhen. Perhaps, he could get some useful clues from them and discover other people.
things, and then based on these things, we can break through Zhao Shuzhen.
After Xu Lang expressed this idea, Fan Yang thought about it and nodded in agreement. So, the two of them split into two groups. Xu Lang went to the bank to retrieve the bank statements between the two, while Fan Yang returned to
factory to investigate the situation of retired workers.
————
Accidents always come when people least expect them.
Just when Xu Lang went to the bank to retrieve the bank statements of Qin Youqi and Zhao Shuzhen, a strange phone call came from Wuma City.
The caller was the captain of Wuma City's Criminal Police Team No. 1, surnamed Li. Captain Li told Xu Lang good news, or bad news.
Qin Youqi found it, but what he found was not a living person, but a battered corpse.
Originally, Xu Lang was very excited when he learned that Qin Youqi had been found. After all, all the cases investigated by Xu Lang and the others were pointed at Qin Youqi. As long as he was found, all the questions would be solved. However, after
After learning that Qin Youqi had been killed, Xu Lang's excitement suddenly disappeared, and his heart sank to the bottom.
Accident? Or deliberate?
This was Xu Lang's biggest question after learning the news.
Captain Li told Xu Lang on the phone that Qin Youqi's body was now in Wuma City and hoped that Xu Lang could go there. Xu Lang agreed without thinking.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Lang drove back to CSY and handed what he found to Lu Xing, asking him to continue to cooperate with Fan Yang to complete the next work. Xu Lang himself informed Qin Mingyue that the two of them
We left CSY together and took the earliest flight to Wuma City.
On the plane flying to Wuma City, Xu Lang was in a very bad mood.
At first, after Qin Liang's death, Xu Lang and others felt that this case was not as good as before.
The three cases were complicated, but as the investigation deepened, the situation that Xu Lang and the others wanted to see the most and least wanted to see emerged.
Qin Liang's death was just the beginning, Qin Fen ran away from home, Qin Youqi and Qiao Lina left, then Qiao Lina was killed, Qin Youqi and Qin Fen disappeared, and now Qin Youqi was killed, and all of this has nothing to do with thirty-three years.
It was related to the car accident that had long been classified as an accident. This had nothing to do with the cases that Xu Lang and the others had investigated before. However, they wanted to find out whether Qin Liang died unexpectedly or was murdered.
, we must figure out the complicated relationship between Qin Liang and Qin Youqi, and if we want to figure out these relationships, we must investigate the car accident case thirty-three years ago.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang's face became gloomy and scary. He had been looking out the window since he got on the plane.
When the plane was not taking off, Xu Lang could still see the buildings near the airport through the window, but after the plane took off, all Xu Lang could see were the clouds so close at hand.
Thinking about Qin Youqi's death, Xu Lang hoped that Qin Youqi died in an accident, because this would eliminate Qin Fen's suspicion. However, Xu Lang also knew very well that Qin Youqi died at this time and returned to S City from Yunnan City.
The death in Wuma City, which was the only way to go, was definitely not as simple as an accident. Moreover, although Captain Li did not explain the specific circumstances of Qin Youqi's death on the phone, Xu Lang still felt that Qin Youqi's death was certain.
It's not that simple.
Thinking of Qin Fen, Xu Lang's mood became even worse.
In the Qin family, counting from Qin Youqi's generation, there are five brothers and sisters. The only one who is still alive now is the second sister. Moreover, according to Luo Jiayan, the second sister Qin Youqi's physical condition is not very good. After all, her age
Now, Qin Fen and Qin Liang, one is dead and the other is out of contact. It is still unclear whether Qin Liang died unexpectedly or was deliberately murdered. Qin Fen is in this series.
What role does it play in the case?
After learning the news of Qiao Lina's murder, although judging from various signs at the scene, it was Qin Youqi who killed Qiao Lina, but Qin Fen was also present after all. Later, both Qin Fen and Qin Youqi disappeared, but now, Qin Youqi's body is
Wuma City was discovered, but Qin Fen was missing. This was very abnormal. Is Qin Youqi's death directly related to Qin Fen?
Although Xu Lang didn't want to think about it that way, judging from the current events, it was all related to Qin Fen. He was an insider and a participant, and he was even likely to be the perpetrator.
"Why......"
Xu Lang sighed for no reason.
Qin Mingyue, who was sitting next to Xu Lang, turned her head and looked at Xu Lang after hearing Xu Lang's sigh, but he did not speak.
Xu Lang had no intention of explaining, and still looked out the window. He hoped that the plane could arrive at Wuma City sooner, so that he could know Qin Youqi's situation earlier, and analyze Qin Fen's next step based on Qin Youqi's situation.
What to do.
The plane had already taken off, and it would take an hour to arrive at Wuma City from S City. Xu Lang had been very tired recently, so he leaned on his seat, closed his eyes, and took a rest.
————
When Xu Lang and Qin Mingyue received a call from Wuma City and rushed to Wuma City by plane, a dusty car drove into City S from the national highway.
Judging from the condition of the car, it must have gone to a very far place, and the people in the car were also very tired.
The driver was a very young man, even very immature. His face was pale, his eyes were red and bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and there was a green beard above his lips.
After the car got off the national highway, it did not enter the city, but drove to a car repair shop.
After the young man handed the car keys to the owner of the auto repair shop, he said a few words to him, then took out a travel bag from the car and put it on his back. Then he left the auto repair shop and stood on the street.
hailed a taxi.
Because it is not the peak period for commuting, there are many taxis on the street with empty taxi signs. When the young man waved to stop the taxi, a taxi immediately drove in front of the young man.
Without any hesitation, the young man directly opened the rear door, took off his travel bag and put it into the car. Then, he also entered the car.
After closing the door, the young man looked out the window and said softly: "Go to the Public Security Bureau."
The driver glanced at the young man in the rearview mirror, frowned, put down the sign, and the meter immediately started rolling, started the car, and drove towards the city.
Not long after Xu Lang's plane took off, the taxi carrying the young man stopped at the door of the General Bureau of Public Security. The young man took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the driver. He said "No need to look for it" and picked up the travel ticket.
Got the car packed.
The driver looked at this strange young man and did not start the car immediately. Instead, he looked at the young man's back. He discovered that the young man did not go to the Public Security Bureau, but to the CSY office building next door, which made the driver even more confused.
The young man was a little strange, but he didn't stay here and drove away.
After the driver left, the young man had already entered the CSY office building. He came to Lu Xing, put down his backpack, and said in a calm tone: "I killed someone, and I surrendered myself."
