Chapter 347 Four, going crazy

The key figure in the question of why Zheng Guangming wanted to kill Yang Jian is Accountant Fan Zhongliang.

Zhou Yi and Xia Yu went straight from the chicken farm to Guangming Trading Company. Zhou Yi had already decided on the route. He would just take Fan Zhongliang back and complete the formalities later. Anyway, Guo Yuanchao and Pan Hongjie would definitely not have any objections.

But when I asked at the company, I found that there were only two female accountants in the finance office. They said they saw Fan Zhongliang in the morning but not now.

Zhou Yi and Xia Yu searched separately, searching the conference room and men's restroom to make sure there was no one there.

Finally, the front desk clerk said that Accountant Fan had driven away in a hurry half an hour ago and no one knew where he went.

Zhou Yi realized that Fan Zhongliang might flee for fear of punishment!

He immediately called Pan Hongjie, and Pan Hongjie called him a moment later. Zhou Yi told him that Fan Zhongliang might be suspected of killing Yang Jian, a mechanic at the chicken farm, and took the opportunity of burning dead chickens to dispose of the bodies. Now he is absconding for fear of punishment. He asked Pan Hongjie to arrange for control immediately and block the main roads in the main city.

Xia Yu and I are now rushing to Fan Zhongliang's house to check on the situation. We don't rule out the possibility that he will go home first.

At this time, Pan Hongjie was conducting on-site inspection in Zheng Guangming's villa. He was marveling at the Zheng family's luxury when Zhou Yi's pager message came.

He called directly using the Zheng family's phone, but when he heard Zhou Yi's words, he couldn't help but shudder.

Another one died?

Four people have died in this case. I’m going crazy!

"Captain Pan, Fan Zhongliang has been gone for half an hour. Hurry, we can't let him escape from Anyuan!" Zhou Yi's shouting on the phone brought Pan Hongjie back to his senses.

"Okay, I'll deploy immediately and won't let him get away."

Zhou Yi hung up the phone, and Xia Yu came back with the information he got from the Personnel Department, which included Fan Zhongliang's home address.

The two got into the car immediately, and Xia Yu stepped on the accelerator and headed straight towards Fan Zhongliang's house.

Zhou Yi picked up the employee information and took a look. The information was relatively simple. In addition to some basic information, there was also registration of family member information.

Fan Zhongliang has a wife and a daughter.

His daughter's name is Fan Lili, and she should be seventeen years old this year, but the unit column on the registration information still says junior high school, which means that this information was updated at least one or two years ago.

His wife is Chen Ting, who is three years younger than Fan Zhongliang and is 38 years old this year.

In the column of Chen Ting's work unit, Zhou Yi saw a name that surprised him: Anyuan Wenyuan Trading Co., Ltd.

Ding Wenyuan’s fruit wholesale company?

Some information flashed through Zhou Yi's mind like electric currents. He remembered that when he and Xia Yu went to find Ding Wenyuan, an employee seemed to be holding a stack of bills and asked him what to do. Xia Yu translated that the company's previous accountant had quit.

"Officer Xia, do you remember Ding Wenyuan's company phone number?" Zhou Yi asked hurriedly.

"Ding Wenyuan?" Xia Yu felt a little strange. Why did he suddenly mention Ding Wenyuan?

But he still handed over the notebook he usually used for recording and said, "Yes, take a look."

Zhou Yi took it and looked through it, and immediately found the number of Ding Wenyuan's company.

I took out my phone and called immediately.

The waiting tone on the other end of the phone lasted for a long time, and each tone made Zhou Yi anxious.

Just when the busy tone was about to appear, the call was picked up.

"Hello, Wenyuan Trading, who is this?" the person on the other end of the phone asked breathlessly.

"Boss Ding, is that you? I'm Zhou Yi from the Criminal Investigation Detachment."

"Oh, Officer Zhou, hello, hello, is there anything else?"

"Is there an employee named Chen Ting in your company?"

Ding Wenyuan nodded and said, "Yes, Accountant Chen, but she has resigned."

Sure enough! Zhou Yi was ecstatic. The last piece of the puzzle in An Yuan's murder case was about to be completed!

He immediately asked, "When did Chen Ting stop doing this?"

"It was... last Tuesday..."

"Did you tell me the reason?"

"No, she just said that she wasn't feeling well and couldn't continue working. Oh, she quit so suddenly, and I was so worried. She didn't hand over the work she was doing, and there are a bunch of messy accounts." Ding Wenyuan said helplessly.

"The business hasn't been handed over yet?" Zhou Yi had a vague bad feeling.

Fan Zhongliang killed people and burned bodies for Zheng Guangming, so why did his wife suddenly resign?

"Boss Ding, did Chen Ting behave in any unusual way when she resigned?"

"Abnormal? I don't know. The most abnormal thing is that she quit. It was Old Fan who said that."

What? The wife resigned and the husband went to complain?

"Is Old Fan referring to her husband Fan Zhongliang?" Zhou Yi asked.

"yes."

"Did you know Fan Zhongliang before?"

Ding Wenyuan answered without hesitation, "Yes, of course I know him. Lao Fan and I are old friends. When I was a self-employed person, he helped me with my accounts. Later, when I switched to a company and was looking for someone to hire, I asked him if he had any reliable accountants to recommend me. He said his wife was also an accountant and was looking to change jobs, so he came along."

Zhou Yi suppressed his excitement and asked, "Boss Ding, so Fan Zhongliang and Fu Daqing also know each other?"

"Yes, the invoicing and collection of money were all done by Lao Fan and Gua Ge."

Xia Yu, who was driving, suddenly heard Zhou Yi let out a long sigh.

The answer to the question that has been bothering Zhou Yi has finally been found!

The person from Anyuan who is connected with Fu Daqing is not Huang Yanli, but Fan Zhongliang!

Although the motive is still unknown, Fan Zhongliang is the person who is most qualified to hire a killer.

Just like what Zhou Yi has always insisted, it is impossible for two people to establish such a relationship of hiring murderers for no reason.

Zhou Yi asked Ding Wenyuan about everything about Chen Ting and got another piece of information.

Before this, Chen Ting worked in the same unit as Fan Zhongliang, namely Zheng Guangming's company, but later she changed jobs under Fan Zhongliang's arrangement and went to work for Ding Wenyuan.

Ding Wenyuan felt quite embarrassed about this because his was just a small company. Although they were both called trading companies, their scale was incomparable.

Besides, Chen Ting is also pretty, and he always felt that his temple was too small to accommodate a great Bodhisattva.

Once he and Fan Zhongliang were drinking together and talked about this matter. Fan Zhongliang, who was a little drunk, took advantage of the alcohol to complain to him and told him why he left his wife with him.

Because he suspected that his wife was having an affair with someone in her previous company, but he had never found any real evidence and they had argued about it several times.

Finally, under his threat of divorce, Chen Ting agreed to resign.

Fan Zhongliang told Ding Wenyuan that he would not feel at ease leaving his wife anywhere, and he would only feel at ease leaving her with Ding Wenyuan.

This also shows that Ding Wenyuan is a steady and honest person who is trustworthy.

However, Ding Wenyuan said that this matter was never mentioned again. After all, it was a private matter, and Fan Zhongliang was drunk and crying when he said it, and he probably forgot about it afterwards.

If he tells this story everywhere, he will be a real jerk.

Zhou Yi told Ding Wenyuan that he should go to the Municipal Bureau today to record a confession when he has time.

Because the information provided by Ding Wenyuan has become part of the chain of evidence.

Ding Wenyuan readily agreed. After he hung up the phone, someone came over and said, "Boss, the goods have been loaded. You can leave now."

Ding Wenyuan said, "I won't go today. I have to go to the Public Security Bureau."

The employee was startled and asked what was going on.

Ding Wenyuan sighed and said, "I don't know either. First it was Brother Gua, and now it's Lao Fan. How did our good life become like this?"

On Zhou Yi's side, Xia Yu drove the car very fast and arrived at the community where Fan Zhongliang lived in less than twenty minutes.

The two got out of the car and went upstairs. Xia Yu, who was walking behind, found that Zhou Yi had actually drawn his gun. He immediately became nervous because there were not many opportunities to draw a gun in Anyuan.

Fan Zhongliang's home was on the third floor. Zhou Yi walked along the wall with a gun in his hand. When he just reached the third floor, the door suddenly opened, which scared Zhou Yi and Xia Yu.

Xia Yu even raised his gun directly towards the door, but luckily Zhou Yi was quick to move and pressed down his gun-holding hand.

Because Zhou Yi discovered that the door was opened not by Fan Zhongliang's family, but by the family opposite.

Fan Zhongliang lives in Room 301, and the door is opened in Room 302.

The older sister in room 302 was startled when she opened the door, because two young men on the stairs were looking at her furtively.

"What do you do?" the eldest sister asked fearfully.

"We are..." Zhou Yi was about to take out his ID when his elder sister saw the gun that Xia Yu had not had time to put away.

He was so frightened that he yelled, "Oh my god, a gun!"

"Police! Stop shouting!" Zhou Yi rushed forward and covered the elder sister's mouth.

But at the same time, there was a sound of something being knocked over in room 301.

There is someone in the room!

"Police, open the door!" Zhou Yi no longer cared about this elder sister at this time, and immediately knocked on the door of 301 and called for it.

But there was no response from inside.

Under normal circumstances, if the police knock on your door, you will not refuse to open it. At least they will ask what's going on.

But there was no movement in the room.

"Officer Xia, you stay here. If anyone comes out, arrest them on the spot!" Zhou Yi said, and strode down the stairs, taking five steps at a time.

Xia Yu clenched the gun in his hand nervously and stared at the door.

The older sister next door was so scared that her legs went weak. She opened the door tremblingly and hid in her home.

Zhou Yi didn't choose to break the door directly. Although the Type 54 rifle could theoretically break a household door lock if fired accurately at close range, in reality it was impossible to break the door with one shot like in TV dramas. Instead, it would require multiple shots, and there was even the risk of ricochets.

And if he didn't open the door despite the noise inside, it must be Fan Zhongliang. Since this is the third floor, he might have chosen to escape by jumping out the window.

So Zhou Yi quickly went downstairs, then rushed out of the corridor and ran to the other side of the building.

Just as he was rounding the building, he saw a man carefully sliding down a clothesline from a balcony with a bag on his back.

The man also noticed him and turned to look at him.

The man wearing glasses is Fan Zhongliang!
