Chapter 70
According to the location marked by Wang Heizi, the group conducted an investigation in that area and soon made a discovery.
"This area has been deliberately destroyed."
Tang Qingqing half-knelt, observing the situation on the ground.
There are a lot of weeds in this area. In some places, the weeds are half a person's height. If someone is squatting or lying in it, people passing by outside cannot see clearly that there is someone hiding there.
There was an area in the middle with obvious weed pressure marks and many people's footprints on it. The scene was in chaos.
Wang Heizi ran over from not far away and said, "Go south for five minutes and you will reach the river. The river is narrow, but the current is fast."
Gao Pengyue looked at the mess of footprints on the ground and couldn't help but frown: "The scene has been destroyed. How can we find clues?"
Wang Heizi laughed: "You underestimate our Sister Qing! Just wait."
Even in a complex scene like a fire, Tang Qingqing could find the arsonist's footprints, let alone a scene like this.
Tang Qingqing ignored them and lowered her head to carefully observe the situation on the ground. The ground was a mess with chaotic footprints everywhere.
"There are quite a few people here."
Tang Qingqing also found some ashes from a campfire nearby, and it looked like someone had been having a picnic here.
"The day after Zhou Xiaoling was murdered, Shen Hexian brought a group of unmarried young men and women here for a picnic. It was more like a blind date than a picnic."
Tang Qingqing: "How many people came in total?"
"It's a big group. It's said that there are about 30 to 40 people, not just employees from the machinery factory, but also from other sister units. It's said that there are several couples."
"Shen Hexian is not in charge of the union's work, so why would she organize such an event?"
"Their workshop has made great achievements recently and received awards from the factory, so she wanted to organize an event to celebrate. Someone suggested that they hold a blind date event. There are many bachelors in the workshop, so why not take this opportunity to invite more female workers from other departments and solve their personal problems at the same time.
Shen Hexian suggested that we have a picnic and an autumn outing. Having some fun would create a better atmosphere and everyone would have something to do without feeling awkward.
This kind of atmosphere is really good. It allows young people to relax much more than a formal blind date arrangement, and allows them to better show themselves and get to know each other.
The success of the blind date also earned Shen Hexian praise.
In the factory, production tasks are important, and workers' personal issues are also important.
Tang Qingqing looked at the situation on the ground and said, "If this is really the first crime scene, then they really put a lot of thought into it."
Wang Heizi: "Can we check it?"
"Let's see first."
"I have another inside scoop."
"What?"
"Do you know why Shen Hexian is so active in opening branch factories?"
"Why?"
"If a branch factory is opened, Shen Hexian will most likely become the factory manager there."
Tang Qingqing was not too surprised. Although the factory was government-owned, having a father who was the factory director meant she had more opportunities than ordinary people.
At present, Shen Hexian's work ability is also very good, so it is natural for her to be promoted.
"Even if there is no branch factory, she will most likely become the director of the machinery factory in the future, right?"
Wang Heizi waved his index finger, "That's not certain. Director Shen has three deputy directors under him. One of the deputy directors retired, and everyone thought she could be promoted to deputy director. Unexpectedly, Director Shen strongly opposed it and promoted another person."
Tang Qingqing really didn't understand these things and didn't expect such a thing to happen.
"Director Shen, is this to avoid suspicion?"
Wang Heizi shrugged: "Who knows? Some people also say that he has old traditional ideas and thinks that women are not born to be leaders."
Tang Qingqing frowned when she heard this. "He is a member of the party, but he still has such thoughts!"
"I just heard that from someone, but I have no way of verifying whether it is true or not. I have to ask him what is going on."
Tang Qingqing felt something was wrong when she heard this. "Are you trying to implode something?"
"People in the machinery factory are gossipy, and many rumors are passed around and no one knows which are true and which are false. If it is said that Director Shen discriminates against women, one of the three deputy directors is a woman. Although he did not promote the female deputy director, he did not treat her differently in normal work because of her gender, and handled everything impartially."
"Besides, if there was really discrimination, even if a branch factory was opened, he would not let Shen Hexian, a workshop director, be the factory director. There are three deputy factory directors, not to mention that there are several workshop directors of the same level, and the machinery factory has more than one workshop.
The construction and management of the new factory is no less complicated than the old factory. How could they assign someone they don't trust to take charge? Isn't this a contradiction? ”
Tang Qingqing nodded. "From what you said, I feel like you're targeting Shen Hexian."
"I don't believe there are so many coincidences in the world." Wang Heizi said, "But Shen Hexian is a woman. Logically, she can't do this. This makes me a little confused. Does she have help?"
"Let's look for clues first. It's not impossible that it's just a coincidence."
Tang Qingqing stuffed two candies into her mouth, holding one in her mouth and chewing the other, then squatted down to survey the scene.
Wang Heizi was of no help at this time. Even though he had been with Tang Qingqing for so long, he couldn't figure out the way out of this chaotic situation.
Of course, this is also because he is not interested in this.
Wang Heizi kept Tao Dazhuang and slipped away to do other things.
Tang Qingqing inspected the site for two days, leaving before dawn every day and returning after dark. Every time she came back, she had to apply a hot towel to her neck, which was extremely sore.
Hard work pays off. On the third day, Tang Qingqing finally made a discovery.
She used lime to circle a footprint, and then extended it to both sides from this center, with one end reaching the river and the other end reaching the fire.
"Is there something wrong with these footprints?" Gao Pengyue squatted down and took a look, and found that many of the footprints here were overlapping.
Tang Qingqing handed her notebook to Gao Pengyue. The top part was a drawing of overlapping shoe prints that were exactly the same as the ones on the ground, while the bottom part was separated and the appearance of each shoe print was drawn.
There were simple sketches on there, which were rough but very detailed, and marked with data and some symbols that Gao Pengyue couldn't understand.
"AThis is Shen Hexian's shoe print." Tang Qingqing pointed at a footprint with a pen.
Gao Pengyue flipped through the picture book and asked in confusion, "What do the words 'heavy' and 'light' mean?"
"Shen Hexian has stepped on this area at different times. Although she was wearing the same pair of shoes and was the one wearing the shoes, the depth of her steps on the ground was different. 'Heavy' means she was carrying a weight at the time. Judging from the depth, the weight was about 80 kilograms."
Gao Pengyue's eyes lit up: "The deceased weighed about 80 kilograms!"
"The footprints extend all the way to the river. This area should be the central area of the picnic at that time. There are many kinds of footprints, many of which have been covered up. There are many similar traces in other places. If it weren't for the interference of those traces, I wouldn't have spent so much effort."
Shen Hexian left traces in many places, and if you are not careful, it is easy to overlook what she wanted to cover up.
If Tang Qingqing didn't have great patience and the training she had done over the years, she would have easily missed it.
"If I'm not mistaken, this fire is where the deceased was killed."
Gao Pengyue was incredible: "Are you sure it's Shen Hexian now?"
"There must be something wrong with her. The more she does it, the bigger the flaws she reveals." Tang Qingqing said with certainty.
"A person's mood will also affect his or her pace. When you are in a good mood, and when you are worried, your pace will be different. Walking with a purpose is also different from walking with nothing on your mind."
No matter how calm and intelligent a person is, it is impossible for him to remain indifferent to what he has done.
Gao Pengyue looked doubtful. There was a biggest problem with this assumption.
"But the victim was raped and murdered. Shen Hexian is a woman. Why did she do this?"
Tang Qingqing was not aware of this either. She could only tell from his footprints that Shen Hexian was deliberately trying to cover up his footprints.
She is a very careful and cautious person, but because she is too careful and cautious, it is easy for people to notice her.
The picnic and autumn outing at that time were more for blind dates between young men and women. According to usual practice, the organizers were generally not too active, so that young men and women had more time to spend together and get to know each other.
Shen Hexian is too active and appears everywhere, which makes people suspect that she has other intentions.
Tang Qingqing not only observed this area in the past few days, but also went to other places where Shen Hexian appeared for investigation, and could clearly perceive the difference.
Although she tried her best to cover it up, her subconscious mind would unconsciously guide her behavior as to which part she valued more, and she would not realize it.
Now that she had locked onto Shen Hexian's heavy footprints, Tang Qingqing could be absolutely certain that something was wrong with her.
As to whether she is the real murderer of Zhou Xiaoling, further investigation and confirmation are needed.
Tang Qingqing found Qin Sa with this clue. After listening to her description, Qin Sa couldn't help but frowned.
"The forensic autopsy report is out."
The previous one was just a preliminary autopsy, this time it is an autopsy report after the autopsy.
"No semen was found in the victim's vagina. According to normal logic, the murderer is either a pervert who likes to play with women, or he is physically weak and unable to do it."
Tang Qingqing: "But it is also possible that it was a woman who committed the crime."
"Yes." Qin Sa nodded, "But this kind of situation is rare, so we are easily led astray by social habits and subconsciously think that this is a male crime."
The cause of Zhou Xiaoling's death was mechanical asphyxiation, which means she was strangled to death.
This requires a lot of strength to implement, which also makes people mistakenly believe that only men can do it.
In fact, strong women can also do it.
Normally, women would not be ruled out, but with the rape incident, everyone initially profiled the murderer and believed he was a man.
During the screening and interview work, more of the work was carried out on adult males.
If it weren't for the clue provided by Tang Qingqing, Qin Sa would probably have investigated who had perverted demands in such matters, or which man in the commune was incompetent.
"I was so careless that I forgot that women can do that, too."
Qin Sa was sincerely grateful, "Fortunately you provided this clue, otherwise we would have to stay up for several nights and it might not free us from our fixed thinking."
"If this is correct, Shen Hexian is the murderer of Zhou Xiaoling, but why did she do this?"
Shen Hexian was more than ten years older than his future sister-in-law, and there was no news of any conflict between the two of them, so why would he kill her?
"When we were investigating, we actually suspected Shen Hexian, but she was a woman, and her husband and son had perfect alibis on the day Zhou Xiaoling was murdered, so we ruled her out."
When Qin Sa thought of this, he wanted to knock his head. Empiricism is really deadly!
If they hadn't identified the murderer as a man from the beginning, they wouldn't have spent so much time on this.
"What's going on?"
Tang Qingqing didn't focus on Shen Hexian at first, she just knew there was such a person.
If I hadn't seen her that day when I was investigating the scene and sensed something was wrong in her words, I wouldn't have suspected her.
If there was no one to suspect, Tang Qingqing might not be able to find the difference among the messy footprints.
After all, the scene was badly destroyed and the heavy footprints were incomplete. She could only find clues with a purpose, but if she was not targeted, it would be difficult to distinguish them.
"Shen Hexian has been unhappy with his family recently and has some complaints about his sister-in-law Zhou Xiaoling. The reason is the wedding room."
"Wedding room?"
Tang Qingqing had an impression of this house, but Zhou Xiaoling had not officially married into the family, so the two of them had never officially slept in the same room.
There was no space for Zhou Xiaoling in her home, so the Shen family arranged for her to live in their future new house.
She lives there most of the time, and only goes back occasionally when her family needs her to help take care of the children or when they need something.
"Shen Hexian and his family of four still live in a one-bedroom apartment. They have a son and a daughter. When they were young, they could live together, but now that they have grown up, they can't live apart."
These days, factories will distribute housing, but if you want to get one you have to wait. You don’t get a house as soon as you enter the factory, you have to wait in line.
Every time we allocate rooms, it is the most lively time, as housing is one of the most important things on everyone’s mind.
Although the machinery factory was profitable, there were too many people working there and there were not enough houses to go around. Many workers had to live with their entire families in one small house.
It was already a good situation for Shen Hexian to be able to live in a one-bedroom apartment, and what's more, she lived in a small Western-style house instead of a bungalow.
However, it was not enough for her.
"She also applied for housing this time, but was not eligible for a room change."
Tang Qingqing immediately responded: "She thinks that Shen Hewei took her place?"
Shen Hewei's job title and working hours were lower and less than Shen Hexian's, but he was able to get a large house with two bedrooms and a living room, which was indeed unfair to her.
"Yes, I had a big fight with my family because of it."
"But what does this have to do with Zhou Xiaoling? Although Zhou Xiaoling is the beneficiary, even if Zhou Xiaoling is gone, there are still others. Killing Zhou Xiaoling won't solve the problem."
Qin Sa looked at her quietly, and Tang Qingqing reacted immediately.
Therefore, the murder was deliberately carried out in this way, not only to get rid of Zhou Xiaoling, but also to put the blame on Shen Hewei.
"This, this is too cruel!"
Qin Sa did not delay and directly sent people to the machinery factory to capture Shen Hexian.
Tang Qingqing walked out of the Public Security Bureau office lobby. The disappeared Wang Heizi and Tao Dazhuang were squatting under a big tree nearby.
Seeing her coming out, he hurried to greet her.
"How is it? It's really Shen Hexian?"
Tang Qingqing explained the situation to him, and Wang Heizi was stunned.
"Is it still possible to play like this?"
He had never thought that a woman could do that to another woman, and he really wanted to ask how he did it, but after taking a look at Tang Qingqing, he finally swallowed his doubts.
As a pure young man, I was confused about many things and didn't understand much. So when I encountered such a thing, I was even more confused.
Tang Qingqing sighed: "What do you think she wants? It's just a house."
A house is indeed important, but Shen Hexian has a bright future and he really can't give it up just for a house.
It's not like she has no house to live in. Her family of four squeezes into one bedroom and one living room, which is actually better than many other families.
In many families, three generations of the family are often squeezed into one room, making it difficult for them to even turn around when entering the house.
She is a capable person. If she works hard for a few more years, she will still be able to get a bigger house. There is no need to rush.
Let’s not talk about Zhou Xiaoling for now, Shen Hewei is her biological brother!
Tang Qingqing didn't like Tang Xingwang and didn't intend to kill him.
Wang Heizi thought for a moment and said, "I think she is after more than just a house."
"What do you mean?"
"If Shen Hewei is convicted of murder, what do you think will happen?"
"What is it?"
"Do you think Director Shen can still be in that position after raising a murderer? How can a government official manage such a large factory if he can't even take care of his own children?"
Tang Qingqing was even more confused. "But Director Shen is her biological father. What good would it do her if she got rid of him? Besides, she is Shen Hewei's biological sister. If Shen Hewei is identified as a murderer, her reputation will also be affected."
"She's already married... Don't glare at me, that's the reality. People think that a daughter is no longer a family member after she gets married. Besides, even if she's not married, Shen Hexian is a man, and a brother is still different from a father, and the responsibilities he bears are also different."
Tang Qingqing still found it hard to believe. Every time she analyzed the criminal psychology, she found it difficult to understand emotionally.
This is murder. To strangle a living person to death with one's own hands, one must be very cruel to do such a thing.
Moreover, it was not a crime of passion that she committed, in a rage and without reason, but it was a premeditated act, and she handled the whole thing very calmly.
Although both of them committed murder, their psychological states were completely different.
"They have conflicts within their own family. What does it have to do with Zhou Xiaoling?"
Tang Qingqing held it in for a long time, and finally complained like this.
"I just heard another rumor."
"What rumor?"
"The news from the Zhou family is that Zhou Xiaoling is pregnant."
Tang Qingqing glared: "Isn't this nonsense? Zhou Xiaoling was still a grown woman when she was murdered. Who spread this nonsense?"
"So it's just a rumor. Besides, if this hadn't happened, would you think Zhou Xiaoling and Shen Hewei had never done that?"
Tang Qingqing was speechless for a moment. When she found out that Zhou Xiaoling was still a young girl, she was also stunned.
I was especially surprised to hear that Shen Hewei was so reasonable.
"Has Shen Hexian also heard about this rumor?"
"Of course. Doesn't Zhou Xiaoling's second sister-in-law work in a machinery factory? She wants to be transferred to a better position, and she used this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Shen Hexian."
"That's just a joke."
"No, Shen Hexian believed it."
"ah?"
"You didn't expect it, didn't you? Not only did we not believe that Shen Hewei was a gentleman, Shen Hexian and Zhou's family also didn't believe that Shen Hewei could resist taking a bite when the meat was right in front of him. They all thought that the two of them had done it a long time ago. After all, Zhou Xiaoling had lived in the bridal chamber for such a long time, and the wedding banquet had already been set up, so there was nothing wrong with doing it."
Wang Heizi looked around, his expression gradually becoming more and more lewd, and whispered:
"You say, is Shen Hewei not capable?"
Tang Qingqing squinted at him, "Do you want to know?"
Wang Heizi nodded vigorously.
"You'll know if you try it."
Wang Heizi was almost choked to death by his saliva: "What nonsense are you talking about! Bah, bah, bah, bah, it's so disgusting, I have provoked you, why are you so disgusting to me!"
Tang Qingqing completed her work and took Wang Heizi and Tao Dazhuang to the cafeteria to eat in a particularly frank manner.
Tao Dazhuang’s favorite thing is to eat in the cafeteria. It doesn’t cost any money and he can eat as much as he wants.
So he was happy to accompany Tang Qingqing outside in the wind and sun, so that he had the qualifications to eat and drink here for free.
Ever since Tao Dazhuang started hanging out with Wang Heizi, he has never lacked food. He has also grown even more muscular, like a giant, and has a body full of muscular tissue, making him look like someone who is not easy to mess with.
Chef Li likes Tao Dazhuang very much and feels the excellence of his own cooking skills from him.
Although other people also wolfed down their food, it seemed more like they were in a hurry.
Tao Dazhuang is different. He really loves to eat and can eat a lot. Watching him eat, Chef Li can eat two more bowls of rice.
When Chef Li saw the three people coming in, he knew there must be a breakthrough in the case just by looking at their expressions, so he quickly greeted them.
"I made jajangmyeon today. How about it? Would you like a few bowls?"
Wang Heizi smiled and said, "Uncle Li, I'll give you a bite!"
"The meat sauce I made today tastes really good. You guys are definitely in luck by coming here today! The garlic is right on the table, peel it yourself!"
Whenever Tang Qingqing was in a bad mood because of a case, her worries would mostly disappear when she heard Chef Li yelling.
But today, Chef Li was a bit too enthusiastic and put extra meat sauce in her dish.
The meat sauce was delicious, but it was salty. If you wanted to make it less salty, you had to add more flour, so Tang Qingqing accidentally ate too much.
I walked slowly back to school instead of riding Wang Heizi's bike, for fear that I would vomit.
During the two days that Wang Heizi disappeared, he got an old bicycle from somewhere. It looked like it was made from several other bicycles, but it looked quite sturdy. He became a car owner.
"Did you build this car yourself?"
Wang Heizi was surprised: "How do you know?"
"Otherwise it wouldn't be so ugly."
"Tang Qingqing, you're asking for a fight! My car is so cool! It's the only one of its kind in the whole commune!"
When Tang Qingqing returned to the classroom, Ning Pingying came over immediately.
"Why did I hear that man's sister was arrested?"
Tang Qingqing didn't expect the news to spread so quickly: "You are so well-informed!"
"The Zhou family went there again today, and ended up watching the man's sister being taken away by the police. When they came back, they were confused and kept talking about this incident. There was a lot of noise outside, and I didn't even get a good nap."
Ning Pingying yawned. She now gets up early and goes to bed late, and relies on taking a nap during the lunch break, but she was still unable to fall asleep because of the noise.
When she heard it, she was confused and didn't understand why they wanted to arrest the man's sister.
"It has not been fully investigated yet, so I cannot tell you about the progress of the case."
Ning Pingying was a little disappointed, but not surprised. "Will the murderer be caught soon?"
After all this trouble, no one knew who killed Zhou Xiaoling. As a result, during evening self-study, many parents of female students came to pick up their children, fearing that they would run into the person who killed Zhou Xiaoling.
The murderer has not been caught and everyone is in a panic.
Because the case has not been solved, young women rarely go out alone for fear of encountering unexpected events.
The weather is getting colder now. When I go to class in the morning, the sky is still gray. Some parents are worried and have to send their children here in the morning for fear that something might happen.
"It will be soon, don't worry too much."
Tang Qingqing is now certain that the murderer is Shen Hexian, so ordinary girls don't need to worry too much. This is not a case of lust after beauty. Although the nature of the crime is bad, the social harm is not that great.
"That's good. You don't know that my parents have been taking turns to pick me up from school recently. They work very hard, and they still have to take time out to pick me up. I don't want them to be too tired."
Tang Qingqing is also concerned about the progress, but she is now in the third year of junior high school and will soon take the high school entrance examination.
Although her grades were very good, she did not dare to slack off.
She was absent from class for such a long time, which must have had some impact, so she suppressed her chaotic thoughts and devoted herself to studying.
Two days later, Tang Qingqing took advantage of the weekend to go to the Public Security Bureau to inquire about the situation.
Qin Sa saw her and waved at her with a smile.
"It's already been done, you've done a great job again!"
"The murderer is Shen Hexian?"
"Yes, that's her! This guy is so cunning. If it weren't for you, this case would be unsolved."
Who would have thought that a woman could rape a woman? She pretended to be so convincing that everyone was misled from the beginning.
Moreover, when the body was discovered, it was several days later and had already begun to decay, making it easier to overlook some details.
"She started planning this very early on, and even specifically investigated your information. In order to avoid being caught by you, she did this. Unexpectedly, her cleverness backfired. The more she did, the more suspicious you became."
Shen Hexian knew that Tang Qingqing could track people based on their footsteps, so he deliberately appeared in that area frequently to blur Tang Qingqing's vision.
Not only that, they also had many people show up there together, and used a bonfire to destroy the scene where Zhou Xiaoling was killed, thinking that this would be foolproof.
The reason why they chose to act there was because they valued this point, so that she could appear at the scene in a reasonable manner without arousing suspicion.
Originally, she could have done less, but when she heard that Tang Qingqing was there to conduct an investigation, she felt guilty and worried that she had not covered her tracks properly.
So she deliberately showed up there to let Tang Qingqing know that it was normal for her to be there.
She also kept trying to guide Tang Qingqing to focus her attention on Shen Hewei.
Who would have known that it was these actions that made Tang Qingqing suspicious.
"Why would she do this? She's not just doing it for the house, is she?"
"She had a deep grudge, and the house was just the trigger. If you dig deeper, she was not only targeting her brother, but also her father."
"Director Shen?"
Qin Sa nodded: "She has always felt that Director Shen is so harsh to her because he looks down on her as a daughter, and is not as good to her as he is to his brother. She needs to climb up from the bottom step by step, and has done all the hard work, while Shen Hewei just sits back and enjoys the fruits of his labor.
When the deputy director was promoted, she was obviously the one that everyone had high hopes for, but in the end another man who was not as good as her was promoted. She felt that Director Shen favored boys over girls. She felt that if it weren't for her father's pressure, she wouldn't be just a workshop manager at the age of 30. "
"Being a workshop manager at the age of 30, is that bad?"
Tang Qingqing was a little confused. From what she read in the books, it was already a great achievement to be a workshop manager at the age of 30, especially in such a big factory.
The workshop managed by Shen Hexian is the most important and core department of the machinery factory.
"Of course it's not bad. If it were an ordinary family, they would be very impressive when they go out. But it depends on who you compare it with. When Director Shen was 30 years old, he was already the director of the factory."
"So Shen Hexian thinks that it was his father who hindered his future?" Tang Qingqing was incredulous.
Even though Shen Hexian's personal abilities are very outstanding, no one would believe that she did not benefit from her father's influence.
If there was no Director Shen, and you were a country girl, even if you had extraordinary talents, you would not have the opportunity to enter the machinery factory to show your talents, and it would be of no use.
Becoming a workshop manager at the age of 30 is not bad at all!
Tang Qingqing felt that if words like this were to get out, there would be countless people who would want to put a sack on her and beat her.
This is what it means to be unaware of what you have.
"She thinks her father is suppressing her on purpose because he wants to give way to Shen Hewei in the future. If she is promoted, there will be no place for Shen Hewei in the future."
When Tang Qingqing heard this, she felt something was wrong and it took her a while to react.
"That's not right. That's not true. The machinery factory is not theirs, it's public property. Why would they want to have a hereditary succession system?"
Although it is now open, this trend has not yet reached the Red Star Commune.
Therefore, there is no such thing as public-private partnership. The machinery factory is a state-owned enterprise, not the private property of any individual.
The appointment of personnel, especially those at the level of factory director, is not the factory's own business. Even the appointment of a deputy factory director must be approved by the organization.
Although the former factory director plays an important role in appointing the next top leader, he cannot do whatever he wants.
It is common knowledge that Shen Hewei has a problem with his brain. How could the workers agree to hand over the factory to such a person? The organization would not agree either.
"She said that if it was in the past, there was really no need to worry, but now it's different and we can't look at the problem with the old perspective."
Qin Sa didn't quite understand the economic issues. Shen Hexian also talked about that aspect, saying that it would definitely be privatized in the future.
Regardless of whether her views are right or wrong, this woman is very thoughtful and ambitious, but she insists on taking the wrong path.
She could have been a role model for women, but ended up pushing her sister-in-law, who is also a woman, into the abyss.
Tang Qingqing pursed her lips and roughly guessed what Shen Hexian was thinking.
She must be one of those very sensitive people who has already sensed the future changes and may even be planning to privatize the machinery factory.
In this way, the machinery factory will indeed belong to the Shen family in the future.
Although this idea seems to be a fantasy now, someone actually did it in the future and succeeded.
But if he were to kill his brother and father just for an uncertain future, it would be too extreme.
Moreover, if she were to bring her father down now, it would be a huge loss for her.
However, if she has great confidence in her own abilities, it is not surprising that she thinks her father is a stepping stone.
Just as Tang Qingqing speculated, Shen Hexian indeed felt that based on his abilities he should not be just a workshop manager now, and it was his father who held him back.
She thought that this was because his father was worried that he was too outstanding and would not be able to control her in the future.
"Now I understand why Director Shen is suppressing her."
Regardless of her work ability, she is too extreme and radical. Her father, Director Shen, probably wants to temper her.
But I didn't expect that not only did it fail to grind, but it also rebounded.
Qin Sa: "You guessed it right. That's exactly what Director Shen said. He said Shen Hexian is indeed very talented, but she is too eager for quick success and is not suitable for taking on the main responsibility, so he has been letting her hone her skills on the front line."
"So she killed Zhou Xiaoling because she thought she was pregnant. She was worried that more resources would be diverted to her brother, so she deliberately designed it so that she could not only frame her brother, but also bring down her father?"
Qin Sa gave her a thumbs up: "That's right."
Tang Qingqing looked unhappy: "She often goes in and out of the Shen family. Doesn't she know the true situation of Shen Hewei and Zhou Xiaoling?"
"She didn't believe it." Qin Sa shrugged. "There were rumors outside, and Zhou Xiaoling felt like vomiting all the time during that period, so she became suspicious."
Under this circumstance, even if Zhou Xiaoling was not mistakenly thought to be pregnant, it was only a matter of time before Shen Hexian took action.
Although Tang Qingqing had probably guessed some of these situations, she still couldn't help but sigh when they were really confirmed.
A young life was lost just because of one person's greed.
Some threats may be imagined by the parties involved.
Wang Heizi had mentioned Director Shen before. Judging from his work style, he was an old-school revolutionary. Although he was a bit old-fashioned, he was serious about making profits for the factory and the workers.
Many of the current leadership team have fought their way up from the front lines; they are practical people who don't like to play tricks.
The development of the machinery factory to this day has a lot to do with him.
Shen Hexian's speculations might just be her own speculations.
When Tang Qingqing walked out of the Public Security Bureau, she saw Director Shen and his wife, as well as Shen Hewei.
Director Shen's temples are gray, and his originally broad and straight back has gradually hunched due to a series of blows during this period.
His expression was sad and full of regret.
Director Shen's wife was not in any better condition. Her brows were tightly wrinkled and her body was particularly thin, as if she would collapse at any moment.
Shen Hewei looked much calmer. When he saw Tang Qingqing, he said a few words to his parents and walked towards her.
"Comrade Tang, thank you."
Tang Qingqing didn't know how to answer, so she simply remained silent.
"I believe you can find the murderer, but I didn't expect the truth to be so unbearable." Shen Hewei smiled bitterly.
Tang Qingqing pursed her lips and still said nothing.
"Xiaoling is a good girl, but unfortunately she has a bad fate."
Tang Qingqing's expression changed. "Her family...you don't have to bother with them."
Tang Qingqing felt uneasy when she thought about the possibility of civil compensation.
And given the Zhou family's character, I'm afraid they won't let it go so easily.
Judging from their performance when Shen Hewei was previously investigated, they will definitely not let it go easily and will seek the greatest benefit for themselves.
Civil compensation is part of the law, and Tang Qingqing has nothing to say about it. But if she is asked to pay additional compensation, she will be furious as an outsider.
Zhou Xiaoling was murdered, and the Zhou family is not innocent either.
Regardless of whether she was pregnant or not, they took advantage of this to go to Shen Hexian and ask for benefits, which was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
Tang Qingqing tries her best not to show her personal emotions when working, but in private, Tang Qingqing has been very restrained by not saying bad things about the Zhou family to Shen Hewei directly.
Shen Hewei's eyes darkened: "Zhou Xiaoling doesn't like them, but she has no way to get rid of them. Now that she's gone, I can be at peace."
"You...my condolences."
Shen Hewei gave her a faint smile, "Zhou Xiaoling is very happy to have a friend like you."
Tang Qingqing was sad. Thinking of that familiar figure and sweet smile, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.
After the case was solved, it caused a sensation.
Ning Pingying was stunned. "Oh my god, who would have thought that she was the murderer! Have you heard that there are still people who suspect that she was the one who caused Shen Hewei's accident?"
Tang Qingqing raised her eyebrows: "No way? Where did you hear the news?"
"Oh my god, but some people also said it was unlikely. We checked it at the time and it was just an accident. Who knows?"
"How is the relationship between the two siblings?"
"My mom said that she seemed okay usually, and she had never heard of any bad things about her. But I heard that my sister had a strong temper. She had been the leader of the children in the compound since she was a child. If anyone was stronger than her, she would beat that person. However, after growing up, especially after becoming a leader, she was still very reasonable and her temper became better. Who knew that she would do such a thing!
Everyone guesses, their family probably has some brain problems. They also found out that their grandfather's brother is a lunatic. When the grandfather got older, his brain was not very good. The old man who was originally very amiable became very irritable.
“Is this true or false?”
"It can't be wrong."
"What is the current situation of the Zhou family?"
Ning Pingying curled her lips and said, "What else can I do? I'm so happy."
"What?"
"Before Shen Hewei was released, many people thought that Zhou Xiaoling was murdered because she met bad people on the road. Although the Zhou family elders said that there was something shady, few people believed it. They couldn't make any trouble.
Now it's good, the murderer is still a member of the Shen family, and now we have a legitimate reason to do so, isn't it fun?"
Tang Qingqing felt like she was starting to get suffocated. "Don't tell me about the Zhou family in the future. I'm afraid I'll be pissed off to death."
Ning Pingying sighed: "You can still cover your ears and pretend it doesn't exist. I am their neighbor. I am really depressed to death."
"They are so shameless, aren't they afraid of being looked down upon?"
"There's nothing we can do. This is a good excuse. They are seeking justice for their daughter. Who can say anything?"
At this point, Ning Pingying couldn't help rolling her eyes. "Some people still think that Zhou Xiaoling's death is worth it. She might not have brought so many benefits to her family if she was alive."
Tang Qingqing crossed her hands and made an "X" sign. "I can't listen to this kind of talk anymore. I will think there are no good people in the world."
"Oh, there are very few people like this, but their voices were so harsh that I remembered them."
Tang Qingqing refused to listen to any more of these words. She rubbed her temples with essential oil and plunged into the sea of questions.
As the holiday was approaching, Tang Qingqing still heard news about the Zhou family - the Zhou family was hacked to death! Except for the children, all of them were killed.
The one who hacked people was none other than Shen Hewei.
