Chapter 425 Liang's father and son are suspected of long-term blackmail on a wealthy man
In the morning, Liang Ziqiang went to the town as usual to buy some pork, fungus, mushrooms and the like for his family, intending to enrich the taste of the dishes they usually cook.
This time he did not go by boat, but rode his "Forever" 28-inch bicycle. He pedaled in front, and his wife sat behind him. As they pedaled, they reached a road where there were no acquaintances, and his wife quietly reached out and put her arms around his waist from behind.
"Hold on tight!"
He increased his speed, and with his powerful legs he pedaled hard, the bicycle seemed to have borrowed the wings of a roadside tit.
From time to time he would press the bell violently, and the sound seemed to be chasing the wind.
"Slow down, are you riding a bike or flying a plane?!" the wife complained behind him, but her body moved closer to him.
"I'm happy today, so ride faster!" he chuckled.
"Did you pick up a treasure? I saw you with a worried face a few days ago, as if someone owed you something..." The wife muttered, with her head against his back.
He was happy, of course, because his random punches really worked and he eliminated Dai Qingfu, who was such a big danger, unexpectedly.
Even though there are still too many mysteries to be solved, it is enough for him to indulge in his enthusiasm for a while.
"I'll definitely be happy if I take you to ride this 28-inch bicycle!" Of course, he wouldn't tell the real reason. While answering his wife casually, he rode towards the town's market.
When they got to the town, they bought meat together, and selected black fungus, as well as dried day lily and mushrooms...
My wife has been saying that she wants to buy some wool for the baby to knit sweaters, and she bought several large balls on the street.
After buying everything, he rode his bike back to the village.
When they got back to the village, they saw a jeep parked in the village. They were curious because it was rare to see a jeep drive into the village in recent years. A villager saw the couple and quickly said to them:
"Aqiang, you just came back from the street? Go home and check. There are people wearing big hats coming to the village. Yongrui is leading them to your house!"
"Big hat? Looking for my house?"
Liang Ziqiang was startled, and immediately thought that it was most likely related to the incident on Banjiu Island, but at the same time he was extremely confused. The incident on Banjiu Island had not yet directly involved his family, so how did they come to his house? He hurried back home. When he arrived at Juzipo, he saw that there were indeed several people in uniform standing in his open space, Zhong Yongrui was there, and there were also several villagers who came to watch the fun.
"Uncle Rui, what's going on?" Liang Ziqiang pushed his bicycle back to the open space and asked Zhong Yongrui.
Chen Xiangbei saw that the situation was unusual, so she pushed the car into the house and parked it for him, and also took the things he had bought into the house.
"Aqiang, are you back? These people are from the city who came here specially to investigate the matter. This is Captain Gao, who brought people here personally..."
"Deputy Captain." A police officer who looked to be in his forties deliberately squeaked and corrected in a serious tone.
"They are all captains anyway," Zhong Yongrui smiled. "After they came here, they specifically asked for Liang Defu, Liang Tiancheng, and Liang Zifeng. I told them that your brother is studying at a university in the capital and can't come. Now they are waiting for your father and your eldest brother!"
After a while, Liang's mother led Cheng Cheng and came from the direction of the vegetable field, followed by Liang's father. It was obvious that Liang's mother had just gone to the vegetable field to call Liang's father.
Soon, someone called Liang Tiancheng back from the shrimp pond in the east of the village.
"Are you Liang Defu and Liang Tiancheng?" As soon as Deputy Captain Gao saw them coming back, he stepped forward and asked in a serious voice.
"To me, he is Liang Defu, and this is my eldest son Liang Tiancheng!" Liang's father had some surprise on his face, and he was not sure what the police coming to his door meant.
"Think back two years ago, on July 22, 1983, which was the 13th day of the sixth lunar month, did you go to a place called Banjiu Island?" Captain Gao asked again with a tense face.
Father Liang tilted his head and thought for a while: "I can't remember the exact date, but it was definitely the sixth month of the lunar calendar, which was around the seventh month of the Gregorian calendar. I went to the island to avoid the wind."
Captain Gao showed a look of "as expected" on his face and nodded:
"That's right! The two of you, and Liang Zifeng who is not here for the time being, are suspected of committing a serious crime. I will explain the details to you later."
Then he signaled to the other two police officers beside him: "Handcuff him and take him away!"
Liang Ziqiang almost thought he had heard wrongly. Crime, kidnapping?! No matter how involved they were, their father and the others were at most just victims who were almost murdered!
The word "serious crime" caught Liang Ziqiang off guard. He really didn't expect things to take such a sudden turn for the worse.
Liang's father, Liang's mother, Liang Tiancheng and others were struck by lightning and stood there dumbfounded.
Chen Xiangbei was also shocked, and subconsciously pulled Cheng Cheng into her arms in nervousness.
"No way, a serious crime?" Several villagers surrounding them were about to explode.
Two police officers had already taken out shiny iron handcuffs and were approaching Liang's father and Liang Tiancheng.
Liang Ziqiang quickly ran forward two steps and said anxiously:
"My name is Liang Ziqiang. I have performed meritorious services for you. You can ask Captain Wang from your team or Liu Li from the county bureau for details!"
The fact that several bandits on Hedu Island were shot dead by Liang Ziqiang and his men has not been widely publicized yet, and is considered a secret within the system. Therefore, even at this juncture, Liang Ziqiang did not want to disclose it publicly in front of the villagers, so he only hinted at it in a vague way.
Then, he quickly said:
"I'm not trying to show off by saying this. I'm a law-abiding fisherman. My father and brother are the same as me. Uncle Rui knows what kind of people we are in the village. I just want to ask, what exactly happened? Can you come in first and explain it clearly?"
After saying that, Liang Ziqiang looked at Zhong Yongrui.
Zhong Yongrui probably instantly thought of the many achievements Liang Ziqiang had recently brought to the village in terms of breeding. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed it off and stepped forward to help persuade him.
"Of course we have to make it clear. Without definite facts, how could we come to take people away?!" Captain Gao said, reaching into the pocket of his grass-green uniform, and then taking his hand out, there was a piece of paper like a homework book in his hand.
"This is one of the blackmail letters you wrote yourself. You can't fail to recognize it, right? Do you want to review it carefully again?!"
Captain Gao shook his hand, and the paper unfolded vertically in the air. He didn't let Liang Ziqiang's family get too close, fearing that they would snatch it, so he just let them watch from a distance.
Liang Ziqiang opened his eyes wide and saw that it was a most common single-line paper, and from the marks it could be seen that it was torn from a homework book.
He read carefully, not wanting to miss a single word. Written in ballpoint pen:
"Boss Dai:
We have received the last three thousand. You are quite trustworthy. We have come to bother you again after such a long time because we have thought over and over again that your precious life is worth more than three thousand, right? Why not settle it all? Eight thousand, this time in a different place. On the 29th of the month, you send someone to put the money under the pier of Zhuzijiang Stone Bridge, and leave immediately. After we get the money, we will pretend that we didn't see anything about the incident on Banjiu Island that we three saw while standing on the boat, and we will never reveal it. We will keep our promise. You can also forget about the strangulation!"
After reading the contents of the letter, Liang Ziqiang and his sons were so shocked that they could not be more shocked.
Captain Gao sneered, "You are so brave. When you saw Dai Qingfu committing a murder, instead of reporting it to our public security organs, you saw it as an opportunity to make a fortune. Liang Defu, you must have extorted no less than 30,000 yuan from Dai Qingfu, right?"
Liang Ziqiang didn't even dare to blink, staring at the blackmail letter written on the homework book.
The handwriting looks so familiar, it looks exactly like my younger brother Liang Zifeng's handwriting.
However, he always felt something was wrong.
It's the kind of wrongness that keeps surging in my heart, but I can't describe it with words...
