Chapter 431 Miraculously Escaped the Third Round of Murder
In the transcript, Dai Qingfu's confession continued:
I told you, this is a bottomless pit.
Liang Defu's family was not dead, and the blackmail became more and more frequent. The first and second times were separated by more than half a year, and the second and third times were separated by less than two months.
In mid-May last year, the third blackmail letter was sent to me. The post office and address were completely different from the previous ones.
This time the bid was very big, from the initial three thousand or eight thousand, it jumped to twenty thousand.
Of course, the designated place to put the money has also changed.
This number is already making me feel a little overwhelmed, but I have no choice but to give it to him after gritting my teeth.
About ten days after I paid the money, in late May last year, someone came to see me twice in a row.
He is the younger brother of the third son’s wife, and also the third son’s brother-in-law.
Didn't the second and third sons go to Southeast Asia to try to get new business, and they were killed by gangsters? But after this happened, I never dared to tell their families the truth. I couldn't say that I sent them to try the new business of carrying drugs, and then they were killed at the border, right? In fact, even the third son's wife didn't know that the third son followed me to engage in smuggling, and she thought he was doing fisheries, foreign trade and honest factories. His brother-in-law didn't know it even more.
But his brother-in-law was no ordinary man. Although he looked like a skinny monkey, he was said to be agile and good at swimming.
When the third brother was alive, he told me that his brother-in-law was called Hou Han, and people often called him "Skinny Monkey".
Hou Han was engaged in reef bombing. As for what kind of fish he was bombing, I didn't ask him clearly. If he could do this business, he would definitely not care about cheap fish. He would bomb valuable fish.
When Hou Han first asked about his brother-in-law, I just brushed him off. The second time, I suddenly changed my mind. I heard that Hou Han is quite brave, so I might as well give it a try...
I told him that the third and second sons were probably in trouble at sea. We previously thought it was caused by the wind and waves, but recently we found out that it was related to a group of fishermen. I am still investigating how that group of fishermen did it.
Hou Han also had a bad temper. He asked me to tell him who the leader was, and that he would take advantage of the time when the reefs were being blasted at sea to blow up those people along with their ships.
I was afraid that if I spoke too hastily he would become suspicious, so I said I would check further and tell him once I confirmed the person.
Hou Han said, "Okay," and asked me to check it out first. He would come to me in mid-June to ask about the situation.
I can tell that Hou Han is a man who can kill. If he says to blow up, he will really blow up. Usually when he blows up the reef, he and his partner will look for a time when no one is around, blow up and run away. This time, as long as they look for a time when no one is around, they can blow up Liang Defu and his boat, and basically no clues can be found on the sea.
I thought that three times the limit would happen, and this time I might be able to cut the Gordian knot and get rid of this troublesome Liang Defu before I knew it!
I just have to wait until mid-June. By then, I will have enough time to come up with a watertight explanation, which will surely help me persuade Hou Han to blow up Liang Defu.
The statement was quickly made up, but June passed and Hou Han did not come.
For several months in July and August, there was no sign of Hou Han.
I couldn't stand it anymore and asked the third brother's wife. She said that her brother had gone to the sea in early June and had never come back.
Not only did Hou Han not come back, but his fat partner also disappeared. Two such big living people just disappeared completely! She said that she had seen her brother before going out to sea, and Hou Han said that he had encountered a good thing called jade clam, which could be worth a lot of money. Who knew that the jade clam was not seen, and the people disappeared just like that!
When I heard the news, I broke out in a cold sweat.
This Liang family seems to be untouchable! I have seen people with tough lives, but who has seen such a tough life? !
Others have tough lives, but I am just lucky and can never die;
His family is very tough. Whoever wants to touch him will die...
Don’t you think so? The second and third brothers wanted to choose a windy day to ram and sink him, but he shrank back and didn’t go out to sea, and the second and third brothers died first.
Old Crow, Zuanzi and the other two agreed to wipe out the whole family, but they ended up being shot dead by you first.
Not to mention Hou Han and Fatty, they disappeared before the fight even started! I suspect that if I continue to have such thoughts about the Liang family, I will be the next one to get into trouble...
Since this incident with Hou Han, I have no longer been able to sleep well at night.
Even when I fell asleep, as soon as I closed my eyes, I often dreamed of Liang Defu. I dreamed that he took hundreds of thousands of dollars from me, and that everything I had was finally taken away by him and became his! I also dreamed that he still didn't keep his promise and reported me to the police. The strange thing is that the police arrested me, but let Liang Defu and others go, saying that they were doing meritorious service for their crimes and were not guilty...
I don't know what to do except to do more good deeds, donate more things, and gain trust.
From the Hou Han incident last year until now, in more than a year, I have never come across any plan to kill Liang Defu's family.
It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare! Strangely enough, since the blackmail of 20,000 yuan in May last year, Liang Defu and his gang haven't written me any blackmail letters in the past year or so.
So far, I have paid him three times, totaling 31,000 yuan! But I can't rest easy, because who knows if he will suddenly ask for a bigger sum, 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands!
This Liang guy has caused me so much suffering. How can I live a life like a human being?
Now, it's a capital crime anyway. I've said everything I need to say, and I feel a lot more relieved after saying it.
I have only one request. The Liang family extorted more than 30,000 yuan, a huge extortion! You can't let them go either. Even if they can't be sentenced to death, it should be enough for them to spend the rest of their lives in prison, right? Taking a step back, at least a dozen years, right? You hurry up and arrest them, arrest all three of them, really, thank you! ...
Liang Ziqiang read all the confessions involving the Liang family. After reading them, he took a deep breath and exhaled. He couldn't explain how many emotions he had in his heart, mixed feelings.
Liang Ziqiang already knew who the "Hou Han" mentioned in the confession was.
He looks like a skinny monkey, his partner is a fat man, plus the reef blasting, giant clams, and that time point at the end of May last year.
Taking all these features into account, there is no doubt that they are the two people who knocked Lao Qiu into the sea during the reef blast last year.
Later, in order to thank Liang Ziqiang for saving Lao Qiu's life, Lao Xie went to great lengths to get a large jade giant clam from Triangle Reef and gave it to Liang Ziqiang.
Because the jade giant clam disappeared, the skinny monkey and the fat man became suspicious of each other. The fat man played a dirty trick and pushed the skinny monkey into the sea, but the skinny monkey swam back to the boat. In the end, the two of them somehow set off the explosives and blew up the boat and the people...
The gang of bandits led by Lao Crow died directly at the hands of Liang Ziqiang, while the two skinny monkeys could be said to have died indirectly because of Liang Ziqiang.
So it really was Liang Ziqiang who saved his family unknowingly every time.
I wonder if there is another example of such a muddled self-rescue in the world...
