Chapter 134 The Perpetrator
"The perpetrator is an unemployed vagrant with no parents, no wife and no children. He ran away after knocking down my brother. I'm afraid the matter is not that simple."
"You mean this wasn't an accident, but was probably premeditated?" Lin Wan asked in shock, "But who wants Brother Xu's life?"
"This is just my guess. We'll have to wait until we have investigated everything to know the results. Don't worry too much. Now as long as my brother can get better, nothing else will be a problem." Xu Qingsui comforted Lin Wan.
"You're right. Brother Xu is still in danger. I can't fall down." Lin Wan took the food and started eating reluctantly.
In the afternoon, Xu Qingsui, led by Huo Xilin, went to the police station, intending to meet the perpetrator.
Uncle Hat has already checked and it was indeed an accident. After all, the perpetrator did not know the two siblings and had no grudges against them, so there was no reason for him to attack Brother Xu.
We also checked the people he had recently contacted with and found nothing suspicious.
Uncle Hat said to Xu Qingsui, "This person doesn't have the money to pay compensation. At present, you can only sue him. He will most likely be sentenced. Even if he wants a letter of forgiveness, he has no money to give."
Xu Qingsui asked: "Can I meet him? I have something I want to ask him in person."
"Okay." Under the arrangement of Uncle Hat, Xu Qingsui finally met the culprit.
The perpetrator was a middle-aged man, thin, with shifty eyes and tattered clothes.
When he saw Xu Qingsui, his eyes became alert. After the police introduced the two people to him, he realized that they were the family members of the person he had hit.
He immediately said shamelessly: "Go ahead and sue me, I don't have the money to pay! The most valuable thing on my body is the electric bike. I sold the old house after my parents passed away. There is not much left in the past few years. Now I rent a self-built house in the village in the city for one or two hundred yuan per room. These can be checked. I am not lying. I really don't have the money to pay!"
Uncle Hat said, "We have checked it out, and he is telling the truth."
"You passed by that place by chance that day, right?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"It's not a coincidence. I often do business there. There is a university over there and many students would take my electric bike home to save money. Who knew that I would be unlucky that day and hit your brother. I really didn't mean to do it. I'm also injured." The perpetrator said, showing his bandaged arm.
"Why did you run away after you hit my brother?" Xu Qingsui continued to ask.
"I don't have money to compensate. When I saw him vomiting blood, I panicked and ran away. Who knew there were surveillance cameras in that area? It would have been a good thing that I was caught." The perpetrator said dejectedly.
"If there was no surveillance, would you have just run away?"
The perpetrator did not say anything, which was considered as his agreement with Xu Qingsui's statement.
Xu Qingsui was so angry that she wanted to beat him to death, but fortunately Huo Xilin stood in front of her, preventing her from losing control and beating people in the police station.
No clues were revealed and the perpetrator's answers were flawless.
Xu Qingsui and Huo Xilin came out of the police station. She suddenly thought of something and asked Huo Xilin, "Do you have any way to check the surveillance at the scene of the accident? I want to take a look. Also, is there any surveillance near the perpetrator's home?"
Xu Qingsui wanted to find clues about who had contact with the perpetrator recently. She was unwilling to believe that this was an accident.
"Let's go to the Road Administration Bureau." Huo Xilin brought Xu Qingsui to the road administration department. Relying on his connections, he easily obtained the surveillance playback video of the scene of the incident.
Xu Qingsui exported the video and took it back to the ward to watch it slowly.
Because the surveillance was for nearly ten days, even if Xu Qingsui went in quickly to watch it, it would still take a long time to play.
After watching for a whole day, I couldn't find any flaws. Just as the perpetrator said, that road was his long-distance running route and he often picked up students there.
"Are you sleepy? Let me take a look, you go to sleep first." Huo Xilin wanted to take the computer away from Xu Qingsui.
Xu Qingsui yawned and decided to take a break. Suddenly, a man in a hat flashed by, sitting behind the electric bike of the person who caused the accident. It made Xu Qingsui feel like he was enlightened.
"Wait." She held Huo Xilin's hand as he tried to move the computer away: "Play it back right away."
"What's wrong?" Huo Xilin followed Xu Qingsui's instructions and clicked the replay button. Soon, the previous scene was played again.
Xu Qingsui continued to replay the video, and when the man in the baseball cap appeared, she immediately clicked pause.
"Do you know this person?" Huo Xilin asked Xu Qingsui.
Because the man was wearing a baseball cap, his face could not be seen at all. The only thing I could see clearly was his lips. It was impossible to tell who he was.
"I should know this person." Xu Qingsui trembled all over. She took out her mobile phone and took a few pictures of the video screen.
"Who is it? Do you need me to send someone to investigate immediately?" Huo Xilin said as he took out his cell phone to call his people.
Xu Qingsui stopped him: "It's my uncle, I want to go meet him."
The next day, Xu Qingsui contacted Yang Yuanming: "Uncle Yang, I have something urgent to see you about. Is it convenient for you?"
"It's not very convenient. I'm not in Shancheng recently. I'm in City A." Yang Yuanming said to Xu Qingsui.
"What a coincidence. I'm also in City A."
After Xu Qingsui finished speaking, there was silence for a while on the other side.
Xu Qingsui continued, "Master, there are some things we should talk about face to face. If the police get involved, it might be disadvantageous to Master."
"Okay, where to meet? You decide."
Xu Qingsui reported the location of the courtyard to Yang Yuanming, then got out of bed and prepared to go back.
"I'll go with you." Huo Xilin said to Xu Qingsui.
"With you here, there are some things he will definitely not say." Xu Qingsui had met her uncle-in-law before and knew that he was a cunning man, even more difficult to deal with than Grandpa Lu.
This time she finally got the handle in her hand, and she must use this opportunity to make Yang Yuanming confess everything.
"You are going alone. Have you ever thought about what to do if you encounter danger?" Huo Xilin asked worriedly.
Of course Xu Qingsui had thought about this question.
"I must meet him even if it's dangerous. If you go with me, or hand him over to the police, then maybe he won't admit what I want to know."
After all, those things happened too long ago and the key evidence can no longer be found.
How can we convict him if he doesn't admit the key issues?
As the saying goes, nothing ventured, nothing gained. Xu Qingsui was so eager to know the truth of the matter that she had to go.
