Chapter 341 Chasing Fu Daqing

Chapter 341 Chasing Fu Daqing

The person who was escorted out of the car by Chen Dejiang was Huang Yanli.

She had her hair loose and was wearing a light blue sportswear. Her expression was a little stiff, and her hands were in front of her, wearing shiny silver handcuffs.

As soon as they got off the car, heavy rain suddenly poured down from the sky.

Chen Dejiang hurriedly pulled people forward, but Huang Yanli stood stiffly in place, looking up at the black night sky where raindrops kept falling, letting the bean-sized raindrops hit her carefully maintained face.

Zhou Yi noticed that there seemed to be a helpless sneer on the corner of Huang Yanli's mouth.

Chen Dejiang pulled harder, and Huang Yanli's slender body was pulled forward.

"Captain Pan, the person has been brought back." said Chen Dejiang.

Pan Hongjie nodded: "Why did it take so long?"

"Oh, don't mention it. The little one was crying, the old one was making a fuss, and finally she had to change her clothes, so it was delayed."

"Take me to the interrogation room. I'll be there soon."

"OK."

There were raindrops hanging on Huang Yanli's face and hair, and combined with her delicate facial features, she looked somewhat pitiful.

But after interrogating Zheng Tianlan, Zhou Yi realized that this woman was resourceful and scheming, a rose with thorns.

"Officer Zhou, I didn't expect to meet you again so soon." Huang Yanli suddenly spoke as she walked past Zhou Yi.

Everyone was stunned. What was she going to do?

Zhou Yi turned his head to look at her and said expressionlessly, "Meeting again so soon doesn't depend on us, but on you. You know better than anyone what you've done."

Huang Yanli was stunned for two seconds, and suddenly smiled, a smile with the same meaning as before, helpless and a bit sad.

For a moment, Zhou Yi actually had the illusion that she was being wronged.

But he came to his senses immediately.

Huang Yanli was escorted away by Chen Dejiang. Zhou Yi looked at her back and thought to himself, no wonder Zheng Tianlan was so bewitched by her. This woman was really not simple.

"Captain Pan..." Zhou Yi was just about to ask if he could attend the interrogation of Huang Yanli.

Pan Hongjie said, "Go and have a rest. You have to pick up your colleague soon. Don't worry about Huang Yanli. She's such a weak woman. I don't believe we can't pry her open."

Zhou Yi knew that Pan Hongjie no longer had any intention of guarding against him. He simply felt that since things had come to this point, there would definitely be no big problem.

It is more important to let yourself rest and then pick up people.

He nodded and didn't insist any further, hoping that the subsequent interrogation would go smoothly.

Pan Hongjie took him to the duty room before leaving and heading to the interrogation room.

Zhou Yi closed the door, and the small duty room suddenly became extremely quiet, with only the sound of heavy rain hitting the window glass.

Zhou Yi sat on the folding bed. There was an old-fashioned alarm clock on the bedside. He picked it up, adjusted the time, and then put it back in its place.

I was running around all day today, but suddenly I stopped and became quiet. I felt a sense of pleasure in taking a break from my busy schedule.

However, he only enjoyed this quietness for a dozen minutes, then took out his phone and dialed Chen Yan's number.

After a waiting tone, the call was connected.

"Brother Yan, I'm Zhou Yi. Have you guys arrived in Lujiang?"

"Here we are." Chen Yan replied from the other end of the phone.

"Is that man Fu Daqing?"

"It should be Fu Daqing. We compared the photos."

Chen Yan's words made Zhou Yi stunned. What did he mean by "should be"? Since he had met the person, why did he say that he had compared photos?

"Brother Yan, has something happened?" Zhou Yi asked quickly.

"Fu Daqing jumped off a bridge to escape and was hit by a car. He is still receiving emergency treatment."

"What?"

One day ago in the evening, in a rural suburb of Lujiang City, an old man came back from working in the fields carrying a hoe. When he passed by a thatched hut, he found a person lying at the door, with his head outside and legs inside, motionless.

The old man walked over curiously and took a look. He found that the man was still breathing, and there were some traces of dried vomit on the ground beside him.

It seemed that when he was about to go out, he fainted and no one knew how long he had been lying there.

The old man was kind-hearted and immediately ran to the village chief's house to call for help, because only the village chief's house and the village committee had telephones.

The village chief immediately called the emergency number and rushed to the thatched hut with his men.

The surrounding villagers heard the news and ran over to watch the fun.

Since they were all from the same village, they all knew each other and said they didn't know the unconscious man. After all, few outsiders came to the village.

Someone recognized that the thatched hut was the old house of the Zhao family. It had been abandoned for seven or eight years and was now used to store miscellaneous items and firewood.

The village chief called over the farmer Lao Zhao and asked him if he knew this stranger with a big beard.

Old Zhao said he knew the man and that he was indeed a stranger. He was moving firewood that day when he came up and asked if he wanted to rent the house. He was wondering if the man was a liar. There was nothing in the house except a bed board that was many years old.

Unexpectedly, the other party offered ten yuan a month, so Lao Zhao bargained with him and finally agreed on fifteen yuan a month. Lao Zhao gave him an old quilt and moved the firewood in the house out.

The village chief asked Lao Zhao, "How come you make so much money? Have you ever thought about asking what the people here do for a living?"

Old Zhao said unconvincedly, "Why didn't I ask? I did, and he said he lost all his money in business and was hiding from his creditors. He'd stay for two months at most. But I figured two months was still thirty yuan, so it's a good idea to make some money. If he doesn't give it to me, how can you give it to me?"

The village chief walked into the house and found it in a mess. The bedding on the bed was pushed aside, and on the other side were some uneaten food in plastic bags, and an empty bottle of white wine on the ground.

The village chief thought: "Maybe he is drunk."

Then the ambulance came and took the man into the car. The village chief had no choice but to get in as well.

He also wanted to call Lao Zhao to join him, saying that something happened when he rented his house. Lao Zhao said, "What does it have to do with me?" and left.

After being taken to the nearest township hospital, an experienced doctor examined him and suspected alcohol poisoning. He told them to go to the county hospital, as he couldn't treat him there. He could only give him an IV to neutralize the alcohol in his blood, so he wouldn't die on the way.

He also said that if the alcohol poisoning is severe, hemodialysis is necessary, otherwise it can be fatal.

The village chief had no choice but to continue running to the county hospital, which confirmed that it was alcohol poisoning and immediately conducted a blood test and emergency treatment.

When the doctor asked the village chief to pay the bill, he was dumbfounded and said that he was the village chief and that the man was from another place and had rented a house in their village. He didn't know him at all.

After hearing this, the emergency doctor suggested that the village chief call the police directly.

When the police arrived, they tried to find something on the patient that could prove his identity, but found nothing.

They asked the village chief, but he didn't know either, so they asked the hospital to treat the man first. The two policemen drove the village chief back to the village to see if there were any clues about where the man lived.

In the end, nothing was found. This person didn't even have an ID card.

However, the empty bottle of white wine was a completely uncertified product. It was probably the product that caused the poisoning.

However, the village chief was very happy because the police found more than 4,000 yuan in cash from the man's bag.

This means that the village chief no longer has to worry about the hospital or the police asking him to advance medical expenses.

But in addition to the money, there was also a dagger in the bag, which aroused the suspicion of the police.

So the two policemen split up and rushed back, one went to the hospital to see the other, and the other rushed back to the police station to check the wanted warrant and the joint investigation notice.

At the hospital, the doctor confirmed that the patient was suffering from mild alcohol poisoning and was not in danger of life. He was expected to wake up soon.

After returning to the police station, the police compared information such as height and age and found three possible matching notices, including the one issued by Hongcheng regarding Fu Daqing.

Then Hongcheng received a call and checked the information.

To be on the safe side, Lu Jiang took some photos and faxed them over, so Wu Yongcheng chose to lead his men to attack directly.

However, the feedback from Lu Jiang was that the patient had not woken up yet, even though the doctor said he would wake up soon.

However, to be on the safe side, the police asked the hospital to arrange a single room for the patient and handcuffed him to the bed, waiting for Wu Yongcheng and others to arrive.

But just when Wu Yongcheng and his men were about to arrive, the police officer on guard went to urinate, and when he came back, he found that the person on the hospital bed was gone.

The connection of the railing that originally handcuffed the patient was loose, and rusty screws were lying on the ground.

The person who escaped, after escaping from the hospital, almost hit a car at an intersection.

This car came from Hongcheng.

Wu Yongcheng noticed something unusual and asked Jiang Biao to turn around and chase the man.

It was at this time that the police from the police station called and told them that the suspect had escaped.

Because it was too dark, it was difficult to observe the situation in the car, so Jiang Biao parked the car on the side of the road. The three of them got out immediately and found a suspicious figure running wildly. The three of them immediately chased after it.

The dark shadow also discovered that someone was chasing him and ran away for his life.

Then the accident happened.

The shadow ran onto an overpass.

Wu Yongcheng immediately shouted, "Biaozi, block both ends!"

Jiang Biao understood, and he saw a gap in the traffic and rushed across the road at high speed despite the risk.

This caused the driver to honk his horn and curse.

Fortunately, there weren't too many vehicles these days, so the incident passed without any danger.

And successfully blocked people on the overpass.

The black shadow just ran to the middle of the overpass and found that there were people on both ends, and was suddenly in a dilemma.

Seeing people on both sides running towards him, he immediately climbed onto the concrete railing of the overpass.

This scared Wu Yongcheng and the others. Wu Yongcheng stopped immediately and signaled Jiang Biao not to act rashly for fear of provoking the other party.

Then he shouted, "Fu Daqing, don't run away. Instead of running around in fear, you should explain the problem honestly and try to get leniency."

Hearing these words, the black shadow who climbed up the railing was stunned for a moment, as if these words hit his soft spot.

Wu Yongcheng also noticed that he was wavering, so he slowly moved forward, telling him to come down slowly.

But at this moment, the black shadow slipped and fell down.

Just then a small truck passed by.
