Chapter 70 Song Yansheng's case may not just be a personal grudge...
Shen Qingye was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What did that person look like? Do you remember?"
The breakfast shop owner shook his head: "How can I remember that? He only showed half of his face at the time. I vaguely saw that he was wearing glasses, a suit and a tie. He was clean-shaven and looked like an educated man who worked in an office."
Working in an office?
Shen Qingye and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other, pursed their lips, and asked, "How old does he look?"
The boss thought for a moment and said, "About... around 30. He looks pretty young anyway."
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Did he get off the car? Did he say anything to Su Jinfu?"
The boss shook his head: "No, he didn't say anything at the time. After Su Jinfu got out of the car, he drove away directly."
Shen Qingye asked again: "What about the car? What brand is it?"
The boss waved his hand and said with a smile: "How can I recognize the brands of those cars? I can only see that it is a black sedan. But looking at the license plate number, it is definitely a car from our city."
Shen Qingye suppressed his emotions and thought deeply:
A local black car, the man is about 30 years old, clean-shaven, and quite wealthy...
How did Feng Yuxue come into contact with this kind of person?
Just at this time, Jiang Cheng, who had returned to the team to investigate Feng Yuxue's family relationships, called.
He said first: "Captain Yue, the forensic doctor has already come up with the result. The bloodstains extracted from the hammer are indeed Feng Yuxue's. It can be confirmed that the hammer is the murder weapon. They also extracted fingerprints from the hammer handle, and after comparing it with Su Jinfu's, they are exactly the same."
Yue Lingchuan and Shen Qingye looked at each other. If that was the case, it could be confirmed that Su Jinfu killed Feng Yuxue.
Jiang Cheng added: "We have also checked. Feng Yuxue was born in a small rural village in Anhui Province. Most of his relatives and friends are in the local area. There should be no one he knows in Pingjiang."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingye secretly ruled out the possibility that the "boss" was Feng Yuxue's relative or friend.
Since he was not someone I knew before, it meant that we met shortly after arriving in Pingjiang.
Feng Yuxue usually has simple social relationships. He basically doesn't go anywhere else except the construction site, and his friends are all fellow workers. If you want to investigate, you still have to find a breakthrough among them.
Yue Lingchuan responded with an "understood" and after hanging up the phone, he thanked the breakfast shop owner and looked at Shen Qingye: "Let's go."
Shen Qingye quickly followed and asked, "Where are you going?"
Yue Lingchuan had the same idea as her: "Let's go check at the construction site again."
......
I was halfway on the way to the construction site when I received a call from Wei Zhengyi.
He said excitedly, "Boss! Come here quickly! We found something under Feng Yuxue's bed!"
The two looked at each other in bewilderment as they listened to the voice on the phone. Yue Lingchuan responded in a deep voice, "Coming soon!"
As soon as the car stopped, Shen Qingye ran upstairs without waiting.
Through the open door, Zhou Qiming and Wei Zhengyi were standing in the living room, their faces filled with excitement.
Shen Qingye looked around and found that there were a few bright and eye-catching things on the messy table yesterday. That is——
Two packs of cigarettes and two boxes of wine.
Shen Qingye walked forward slowly, looking at the cigarettes and alcohol in luxurious packaging, his heart moved slightly, he looked up at everyone, and guessed: "These cigarettes and alcohol...are they very expensive?"
Yue Lingchuan glanced behind her and said, "These items combined will cost at least two or three thousand."
Shen Qingye hissed softly, and a sense of doubt emerged in his heart:
Where did Feng Yuxue get these cigarettes and alcohol?
His family conditions are not very good, and his mother is in the hospital and needs money. Logically, he should not have extra money to buy these things.
Wei Zhengyi said, "When Lao Zhou and I first arrived, we searched the room thoroughly, even crawling inside the bed to look inside, but we found nothing. In the end, we were still unwilling to give up, so we moved all the boxes and cabinets in the room to look inside, and finally found these things wrapped in a black dress in the corner between the bed and the wall!"
Because the room was facing away from the sun, it was very dark inside, and there was a black piece of clothing covering it, so Wei Zhengyi didn't see anything when he first crawled in. I had to move the bed away before I discovered these things were still in the corner.
It's hidden well enough.
Yue Lingchuan looked at him for a few seconds, then raised his eyes and asked, "Did you touch it?"
Zhou Qiming shook his head: "No, we wrapped it in clothes. We thought there might be fingerprints on it, so we didn't dare to touch it."
Yue Lingchuan nodded and told them the results of Jiang Cheng's investigation and the information they found from Su Jinfu. Zhou Qiming pondered and said, "Young man, well-mannered, wearing glasses..."
Thinking carefully about the relevant people they have met so far, it seems that no one fits this image.
Yue Lingchuan said: "So, the focus of the investigation should still be on the construction site. Those workers live and eat with Feng Yuxue, so they must know something."
It’s just that some information is really useless, while some information may just be useless in their opinion.
......
After arriving at the construction site, the chief engineer heard their purpose and wiped his face with his hand. He felt very bitter because the previous case had not been solved yet and now another person had died.
How many people died on their construction site in just a few days?
Although the person did not die on their construction site, it is still related to them to some extent. If this gets out, will they be able to sell the house in the future?
Do I need to ask a Feng Shui master to take a look afterwards?
The chief engineer had many thoughts in his mind, but he did not show it on his face. After calling Ding Guibing over, he arranged an empty room for them and then left.
Ding Guibing sat on a chair, looked at the police officers in front of him, rubbed his hands, and said nervously: "Police, police comrade, is there anything else?"
Zhou Qiming said: "Don't worry, we just want to learn more about the situation."
Ding Guibing: "You tell me, I will definitely tell you what I know."
Zhou Qiming asked: "Besides these people on the construction site, does Feng Yuxue usually have contact with anyone outside?"
Ding Guibing thought for a while before shaking his head: "No... Lao Feng is an honest man. He works at the construction site during the day and stays at home at night. He won't go out to play with other people because he is very frugal. Some people even think he is boring and don't want to play with him."
Zhou Qiming asked again: "Does he have any relatives or friends in Pingjiang?"
Ding Guibing said, "I haven't heard him say that. He has been with us since he came. If he has relatives or friends, he must go and see them, right?"
Shen Qingye thought for a moment and said, "Before the accident, was there anything unusual about Feng Yuxue?"
"Strange..." Ding Guibing shook his head and said with a bitter face: "Comrade police officer, I really don't know. Lao Feng is usually very depressed. If you don't talk to him, he will do his work honestly. If you talk to him, he will smile. Usually, his presence is very low. There is no specific reason. It is impossible for me to pay attention to his emotions all the time, right?"
Zhou Qiming frowned slightly and asked again, "Then, is there a younger, bespectacled, gentle man on your construction site? He looks to be in his thirties?"
"Young? Wearing glasses? And so polite?" Ding Guibing couldn't help laughing and said, "Comrade police officer, are you kidding me? Where on this construction site would there be such a person as you mentioned?"
"We are a bunch of grown men who came out to work because we couldn't make it at home. We are mingling with mud and dirt all day long. We are so dirty. How can we be polite?" Ding Guibing shook his head decisively and said, "No. Anyway, I don't remember any such person!"
Everyone felt disappointed when they heard this.
Zhou Qiming asked two more questions, but when he saw that he could not get any clues, he sighed and said, "Okay, we know."
"You can leave now. Remember to let the people behind you in after you leave."
Ding Guibing then breathed a sigh of relief and turned away in a hurry.
Several more people came in one after another. Zhou Qiming and others repeated the same question, but they all got similar answers:
"No..."
"...I'm not very familiar with Lao Feng, and I don't know if he has any relatives or friends in Pingjiang."
"A well-mannered man? I've never seen one like that before!"
"Old Feng usually smiles when talking to anyone, and I've never noticed if he's doing anything different."
"Isn't it work every day? What's the difference..."
......
Their confessions were almost the same, and after questioning more than ten people, no clues were obtained.
After another person left, Zhou Qiming rubbed his forehead and sighed deeply. Wei Zhengyi also rubbed his face and felt his throat was a little hoarse.
He couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that we are looking in the wrong direction? In fact, the murderer has nothing to do with this construction site?"
Shen Qingye's brows were gloomy and her lips were tightly pursed.
Yue Lingchuan said: "After Feng Yuxue came here, he hardly went anywhere else. All his connections are here. And he was able to accurately identify Su Jinfu as the murderer, which shows that he has some understanding of the grudge between them. If it were someone from the outside, it would not be easy to know this..."
Shen Qingye suddenly murmured, "I think we have fallen into a misconception."
Zhou Qiming turned around and looked at her: "What do you mean?"
Shen Qingye shook his head again: "No, it's not us who have fallen into a misconception, it's them who have fallen into a misconception."
She raised her head, took a deep breath, looked at everyone and said, "What we asked them just now was whether there was a gentle young man on the construction site, and their answer was that they had never seen him. But not seeing him doesn't mean he doesn't exist!"
She asked seriously, "Is it possible that the man is not often at the construction site, but only comes here occasionally, and the workers usually don't come into contact with him?"
Yue Lingchuan's expression changed slightly: "You mean, the leader in charge of this project?"
Zhou Qiming suddenly realized: "The workers usually come into contact with their co-workers, the foreman and the project manager. These people usually dress no different from ordinary workers. When we asked them questions, they must have subconsciously thought about them, and subconsciously ignored the upper-level leaders they may not have even met..."
Wei Zhengyi also said: "If he is the project leader, then gentle and young seem to fit the description..."
"Moreover, this kind of leader may be sent directly by the company. He comes to inspect the progress of the project every now and then and will not stay here for long..."
Everyone looked at each other and their eyes lit up.
Wei Zhengyi quickly stood up and grabbed a person who had not yet walked far from the outside and asked him at the other person's nervous expression: "When was the last time your leader inspected you?"
The man was stunned: "Leader inspection?"
Zhou Qiming said: "The kind of leaders who come down from your company may not stay here often."
The man thought for a while, clapped his hands suddenly, and said, "Oh, you said this!"
He said, "The most recent one...hiss, it seemed to be a week ago? Anyway, it was about seven or eight days ago."
When Zhou Qiming heard that something was going to happen, he leaned on the table with both hands and asked, "Who is the one who came to inspect? How old is he? What does he look like? What was he wearing?"
The other party was a little surprised by his excitement, but after thinking about it, he said seriously: "Uh... we don't know the leader above us either, we only know his last name is Song, and the chief engineer and the others seem to call him something... Secretary Song?"
"As for his age, when he came here, I saw him from a distance and he looked quite young, around thirty years old? He must be no more than thirty-five!"
"I was far away at the time, so I didn't see what he looked like clearly. I just remember that he was dressed quite neatly, maybe a suit and shirt? Anyway, he looked out of place here."
Zhou Qiming asked: "Who was with him at the time?"
The man said, "The chief engineer and the manager. We don't see the leaders from the companies above us easily. They are always accompanied by the chief engineer."
As he spoke, he suddenly uttered another "ah", slapped his thigh, and said, "Now that reminds me, the day Secretary Song came... Old Feng seemed a little angry?"
Everyone looked at each other, and Yue Lingchuan asked: "What do you mean by a little angry?"
The man said: "It was around 4 or 5 o'clock in the afternoon. I wanted to go to the bathroom and saw Lao Feng walking towards me angrily with a very ugly face. I greeted him at the time, but he just pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled very reluctantly."
Zhou Qiming lowered his body and asked, "Are you sure he came from the toilet?"
"Yes!" the man said firmly.
"Who else was there in the toilet at that time?"
"It seems that there are no more..." He shook his head: "Anyway, I didn't see anyone else."
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Before you went to the toilet, did any of your coworkers leave early to go to the toilet?"
The man thought for a long time before shaking his head and said helplessly: "I really can't remember this..."
"Okay, I understand." Yue Lingchuan pressed the table and said, "You can leave now. If you remember anything later, please contact us in time."
After he finished speaking, he strode directly toward the door. Shen Qingye and others guessed what he was going to do and followed him immediately.
......
The project chief engineer was discussing something with the project manager in the office when the door suddenly opened. He was about to get angry when he saw Yue Lingchuan and his men striding in.
He quickly calmed down, went up to him, and said, "Police comrade, is there anything else?"
Yue Lingchuan glanced at the project manager who had hardly been seen since the incident. The other person was in his forties, short and fat, with a beer belly that made his white shirt stick out high, and he looked like a pregnant woman who was eight or nine months pregnant. At this moment, he slowly stood up, with a nonchalant look on his face.
Yue Lingchuan narrowed his eyes slightly, and Shen Qingye's eyes on the side also seemed to fall on him vaguely, looking at him vaguely.
Yue Lingchuan quickly retracted his gaze and looked at the project chief engineer and said, "Did any of your company's senior leaders come to inspect the construction site some time ago?"
The other party paused after hearing this, then nodded slowly: "...Yes."
Yue Lingchuan said in a deep voice: "Which day is it exactly?"
“Uh…” The other party was a little confused, but the project manager next to him had a flash of eyes when he heard that.
The project chief engineer said: "Probably the 19th. Yes, the 19th! That afternoon, the company leaders came to inspect and check the progress of the project. Right, Old Wu?" He suddenly turned around and asked the project manager.
Manager Wu didn't react for a moment. He waited for a while before he said "oh" twice and nodded, "Yes, yes, it was on the 19th!"
Yue Lingchuan asked: "Is it a secretary named Song?"
The chief engineer was a little surprised how he knew that, but Manager Wu quietly swallowed his saliva, looking a little panicked.
Shen Qingye's eyes slowly narrowed.
The chief engineer said, "Yes, it's Secretary Song."
"Who is he?"
"He is the secretary of our chairman. Usually when the chairman is busy with work, he is the one who comes to inspect the progress of projects on his behalf."
"What's his name?"
"Song, Yan, Sheng - I think his name is Song Yansheng? We usually call him Secretary Song."
The chief engineer was a little nervous: "Comrade police, does this have anything to do with this case?"
"Whether it matters or not, it's up to Manager Wu to decide, right?" Yue Lingchuan slowly turned his head and looked at Manager Wu, whose body was stiff and whose smile was forced: "Manager Wu, what do you think?"
Manager Wu licked his lips: "Ah? Ah?"
He forced a smile and said confusedly, "Comrade police... what do you mean by that?"
"Manager Wu, don't you know yet?" Zhou Qiming smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. Just come with us."
Manager Wu panicked: "No, this case has nothing to do with me. Why are you arresting me?"
Wei Zhengyi said: "Manager Wu, what you said is just cooperating with the investigation, how can it be considered an arrest?"
He put a hand on his shoulder and pressed hard: "Manager Wu, please cooperate with our investigation honestly. Once we find out the truth, we will definitely let Manager Wu go back."
Manager Wu looked panicked: "But, but there are so many things to do on the construction site, I can't be left alone! What if something goes wrong? What a huge loss in a day!"
Yue Lingchuan said: "You are not the only leader at the construction site, isn't there also a chief engineer?"
"If all else fails, just ask your company to transfer someone else here."
The project chief engineer at the side was still confused. Yue Lingchuan raised his chin slightly and said to him, "We will take the person away first."
The project chief engineer opened his mouth and watched Manager Wu being taken away. He didn't react at all as to how things turned out like this.
Here, here, here, weren’t we just talking about Secretary Song? Why was Manager Wu taken away?
......
After getting in the car, Yue Lingchuan quickly made a phone call and briefly explained the situation to Jiang Cheng and the others. He said, "Go check who is behind this construction site immediately, find out the relevant information, and bring Song Yansheng back to me."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng realized something and quickly responded with a "OK".
After Yue Lingchuan hung up the phone, he looked at the road ahead with a slightly gloomy expression.
Shen Qingye said in the co-pilot seat: "This incident is unlikely to be a personal grudge between the so-called Secretary Song and Feng Yuxue."
Yue Lingchuan glanced at her and said, "You guessed it too?"
Shen Qingye took a deep breath: "I have had some doubts from the beginning. If the murderer is really Song Yansheng, then as the breakfast shop owner said, he is gentle and looks like an office worker, so how could he beat Su Jinfu to the point of internal bleeding?"
After all, no matter how lazy Su Jinfu is, he is still a worker engaged in physical labor. Logically speaking, his physical strength should be much stronger than Song Yansheng.
It was a bit unreasonable that Su Jinfu was beaten like this by such a man who had been working in an office for many years without any weapon and had almost no ability to fight back.
Yue Lingchuan nodded and motioned for her to continue.
Shen Qingye pursed her lips and continued, "Just now when you were talking to the project chief engineer and mentioned Song Yansheng, Manager Wu's expression was obviously not right. His eyes wandered, and he blinked and swallowed his saliva frequently, which were all signs of guilt. It can be seen that even if he was not involved in this case, he knew about it to some extent."
Yue Lingchuan hummed and said, "According to what they said, Song Yansheng has not been here many times, so he should know even less about the grassroots workers here. But he found Su Jinfu, who had a grudge against Feng Yuxue, to kill him - this is a bit strange."
Shen Qingye said: "But if someone who knows the situation at the construction site does an investigation in advance, it will be different."
A hint of praise flashed across Yue Lingchuan's brows, and he said, "So what are you doubting?"
Shen Qingye looked out the window: "I suspect... this may not just be a murder case caused by personal grudges. It may involve a wider range than we thought."
For example...is that person really someone Song Yansheng wanted to kill?
Shen Qingye had an idea in his mind, but he could only confirm it after he returned and met Song Yansheng.
......
Hengtai Real Estate
Jiang Cheng and Luo Kaiyang strode into the company with serious faces. The female staff at the front desk hurried forward to stop him:
"Hey, gentlemen, you can't enter our company without an appointment!"
Luo Kaiyang took out his ID from his pocket: "Police."
The other party was stunned and stopped where he was.
Jiang Cheng said: "Let your company's Secretary Song, Song Yansheng, come down."
