Chapter 68 Where did Liu Hong and Su Jinfu get so much money?
The customers who were receiving massages were let out, but the prostitutes and prostitutes in the small rooms were arrested one by one, along with the proprietress, Lao Huang and others, and locked up in separate small rooms.
Wei Zhengyi stood guard there, regardless of whether those people were begging or cursing, waiting for the police in charge of anti-pornography in the area to come and deal with the matter.
At the same time, in another room, Liu Hong sat on the edge of the massage bed, looking at the policemen in front of her who were blocking the door tightly. She couldn't help but lift up her suspender skirt to cover the large area of her chest that was exposed, feeling uneasy.
Everyone else was taken away, and she was the only one left here facing so many police officers. She couldn't help feeling a little panicked.
She licked her lips and tried to defend herself: "Comrade police... I, I don't want to do this kind of thing... It's just that I don't have money. My family is really poor. I have no choice..."
Zhou Qiming tapped his thigh with his fingers. The frivolous look he had just had completely disappeared, and he looked serious: "These things are not our business, you don't have to tell us."
Liu Hong was a little puzzled. If she didn't come here for this matter, then what else could it be for?
Shen Qingye locked the door after Yue Lingchuan and the others came in. Now he was sitting in the technician's chair, looking at her, and said calmly: "We are not here for this matter, but there is a case, and I hope you can cooperate with the investigation."
case? Liu Hong's eyes moved, and she thought carefully about what she had done. However, she tried to remain calm and said, "You, you tell me."
Shen Qingye asked directly: "Have you received a person named Su Jinfu in the past few days?"
"Su Jinfu?" Liu Hong was stunned, then nodded slowly: "Yes."
She looked around, looked at the policewoman who was a little easier to talk to, and asked tentatively: "Is he, is there something wrong with him?"
Shen Qingye did not answer, but just asked: "When did he come?"
Liu Hong collected her thoughts and thought carefully: "It should be... four days ago, right? It seemed to be the 22nd." She licked her lips: "The boss lady remembers to keep the account every day, and there should be the exact date on it..."
Shen Qingye nodded and said okay, and Luo Kaiyang quickly went out to find the account book. Shen Qingye asked again: "He took you out that day, didn't he?"
Liu Hong nodded a little stiffly: "...Yes."
Shen Qingye asked: "In your line of work, if you want to go out with a client, you have to pay extra, right?"
"......right."
"How much did he pay that day?"
Liu Hong said: "One thousand yuan..."
Because he was the only person who took her out recently, Liu Hong remembered it very clearly.
She lowered her eyes, pursed her lips and said, "If we were in the store, five hundred would be enough, but if we were to go out, we would have to double it..."
Her voice became smaller and smaller. For some reason, facing this young policewoman and meeting her serious gaze, Liu Hong felt an indescribable sense of shame that made her unable to raise her head.
It was a feeling that she had never experienced even when facing countless men naked.
Shen Qingye didn't know what she was thinking. He just said he understood, then raised his head and asked, "Did you know him before that time?"
Liu Hong shook her head: "I haven't seen him before. But I heard from Sister Fang that he used to come to our store often, but his consumption was only one or two hundred yuan, and I was not the one who received him..."
Shen Qingye: "Then when did she come that time?"
Liu Hong thought for a while and said, "A little after seven, maybe less than eight." She had just started working.
Shen Qingye asked again: "Where did he go after he took you out?"
She did not forget that the neighbors around Su Jinfu said they had never seen him bring a woman home.
"A hotel." Liu Hong said, "A hotel near the city. That hotel doesn't seem cheap either. I saw he spent three or four hundred yuan to book a room for one night."
Yue Lingchuan, who was listening at the side, couldn't help but frown, and paused his tapping on his knee.
He spent nearly fifteen thousand yuan in one night... Su Jinfu's normal monthly salary is only a little over a thousand yuan, but according to what Ding Guibing and others said, he often doesn't come when he's in a bad mood, so he might not even have a thousand yuan a month. Where does he get the money to spend so much money on a prostitute?
Shen Qingye asked: "What did you do when you went out that day?"
Liu Hong hesitated: "Just, the normal things. A man and a woman go out to get a room. What else can they do?"
Shen Qingye glanced at him and asked, "Did he say anything strange that night?"
"Strange words?" Liu Hong was puzzled: "What is considered a strange word?"
Shen Qingye thought for a moment: "For example...did he say anything about money?"
Yue Lingchuan's eyes moved.
Liu Hong thought for a moment: "Money..."
"Oh, he did say something, but I didn't pay much attention to it. I thought he was just bragging."
"He said that when he has money in a while, he will buy a house, a big house! He also said that he would come to see me every day in the future, and would not let me stay in this shabby place like our store. He would come to this big hotel to eat Western food and take me to enjoy myself..." She looked at Shen Qingye, shrugged and said, "Officer, you know, men are all boastful. Not to mention what they say in bed, none of them can be taken seriously. I didn't believe him at all at the time, so I just fooled him..."
Shen Qingye paused while taking notes, and was delighted when he heard her words. With her words, they could naturally check Su Jinfu's accounts. Then, they could follow the clues and maybe find out the person behind Su Jinfu.
She was excited but kept her expression on her face. She asked, "You said Su Jinfu told you that he wanted to buy a house?"
"yes."
"Did he tell you where his money came from?"
Liu Hong said: "It seems to be something like, he worked for a boss, and after finishing the work, he would get a large bonus or something like that. He didn't say anything specific, so I couldn't ask..."
Zhou Qiming and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other, both of them doubtful.
Boss, where does this boss come from?
Why is there one more person coming out?
While he was questioning, Luo Kaiyang came back with the account book. He leaned close to Yue Lingchuan's ear and said, "I took a look. It clearly records how many customers we received and how much we collected every day."
Yue Lingchuan opened it and took a quick look, and found that Su Jinfu was indeed a regular customer of this store. He came once at the beginning of this month, and had come at least two or three times every month in the past few months, spending around one or two hundred yuan each time.
But only on the 22nd, that string of 1,000 looked particularly eye-catching.
Where did Su Jinfu get the money?
Shen Qingye continued to ask: "When did you break up that day?"
Liu Hong said, "About... 6 or 7 o'clock. After I woke up the next morning, he checked out of the hotel. He took me to have breakfast and then sent me home."
Shen Qingye combined what Mr. Men said and sorted out the time sequence again. It can be inferred that around the 21st, the person behind the scenes found Su Jinfu and asked him to kill Feng Yuxue. Su Jinfu agreed and took the reward from the "boss" and spent the night of the 22nd with Liu Hong. They separated on the morning of the 23rd. Afterwards, he went to the construction site as usual, and that night, he killed Feng Yuxue with a hammer near the construction site and dumped the body into the big pond in Wuping Village.
After the incident, he had a conflict with the "boss" behind the scenes and was severely beaten up. He eventually died of internal bleeding in the rental house.
According to the clues they have found so far, the next step should be to check Su Jinfu's bank account.
Shen Qingye closed the notebook and looked at Yue Lingchuan: "Captain Yue?"
Yue Lingchuan glanced at Liu Hong, stood up and said, "Okay, we already know the general situation. If you have any clues, please contact us in time."
Liu Hong couldn't help but stood up: "Officer, I, I..."
Zhou Qiming glanced at her and said, "The police from your district will be here soon. It depends on what they decide on how to deal with you. At most, you will be detained in the detention center for a few days. However, if your involvement in the case is not serious and you actively cooperate with the investigation, you may be given a lighter punishment."
Liu Hong opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.
Shen Qingye slowed down his tone and said, "You are still young and have hands and feet. Why do you have to do this kind of work? Even if you can earn a few hundred yuan a month in a factory, it will be more peaceful than this kind of money, right?"
Liu Hong bit her lower lip: "I..."
As they were talking, sirens were heard outside.
Shen Qingye stood up and walked out, saying, "After you get out, think carefully about what you want to do in the future."
Liu Hong looked at the girl's straight back gradually going away, her feet stuck in the same place, not knowing what to do next.
Two or three police cars were heard outside the store. Yue Lingchuan and others walked out and opened the door. The policeman who recognized him quickly stepped forward and said, "Captain Yue! I'm really sorry to bother you. We have to take care of our district's affairs!"
Yue Lingchuan said: "This place is well hidden, it's normal that you can't find it. We were investigating a case and just happened to run into it."
"Oh, by the way, this notebook records the number of customers the store owner receives every day and the amount of money they pay. It should be useful to you."
He handed over the account book and the other party quickly thanked him. Yue Lingchuan waved his hand again, said goodbye to everyone, and then left with his family.
......
After leaving Guihua Street, the surroundings suddenly became deserted.
It was already late at night, and everyone was crowded in two cars, looking outside while discussing the case.
Wei Zhengyi murmured, "Where did Su Jinfu get so much money? Who is the boss Liu Hong is talking about? Why do I feel that this case is getting more and more complicated?"
Yue Lingchuan was driving, tapping the steering wheel with his slender, bony fingers. He looked at the traffic lights on the dim street and said, "I'm wondering if Su Jinfu's case is related to Feng Yuxue's case."
Zhou Qiming also said: "That's right, the timing is too coincidental. Su Jinfu happened to be rich in those two days, and Feng Yuxue happened to die the next day. And there happened to be a conflict between them!"
Wei Zhengyi was shocked: "You suspect this might be a murder for hire?"
Shen Qingye also said: "Otherwise, we can't explain where Su Jinfu's money came from."
Zhou Qiming also said: "Besides, it's just two or three thousand yuan. Even if Feng Yuxue pressed for it, Su Jinfu wouldn't kill to silence the witness, right? This motive for murder is not sufficient."
Wei Zhengyi pondered for a moment: "So the one who wanted to kill Feng Yuxue was not Su Jinfu, but the person behind Su Jinfu? He was just doing the job for money?"
Zhou Qiming hissed and said, "So after all this time, things have gone around in circles and are back to the beginning?"
——Who did Feng Yuxue offend?
Yue Lingchuan said, "We still know too little about Feng Yuxue. Lao Zhou, take people to the construction site tomorrow to ask, and search his home and his neighbors again systematically."
"We can't let Su Jinfu off either. I'll check his bank account tomorrow to see if there's any large sum of money coming in recently."
"Everyone split up."
Everyone responded with a "yes".
The night was deep, the scenery along the road flashed by, but the dazzling stars remained unchanged.
Shen Qingye looked up at the stars following them, and his heart slowly calmed down.
