Chapter 75 Visiting his wife...No!
"Hengtai's projects over the years seem fine on the surface, but in fact the building materials do not meet the standards at all. Take the bricks needed for building a building as an example. They build high-rise shopping malls and residential buildings, which should be bricks that can withstand 10 levels of pressure. But in fact, in order to reduce costs, most of the bricks they buy are below 5 levels."
"They have been doing this for several years and are very familiar with the various processes. On the 19th, Song Yansheng went to the construction site and mentioned this to someone on the phone while going to the toilet. Feng Yuxue happened to hear it."
"The two bumped into each other, and Song Yansheng offered bribes, cigarettes and alcohol. But Feng Yuxue was upright and could not accept that the building he built had such hidden dangers, so he resolutely refused and asked him to replace the qualified building materials as soon as possible. Song Yansheng responded on the surface, but in fact he had already murdered him. After consulting Jiang Chengtao, he found out through Wu Chuanming that Su Jinfu and Feng Yuxue had a conflict, and spent 10,000 yuan to hire him to kill him."
"Afterwards, because Song Yansheng was unwilling to pay the agreed final payment of 90,000 yuan, Su Jinfu went to his house in anger, but was severely beaten by Jiang Chengtao's bodyguards. After returning home, he died of internal bleeding."
Zhou Qiming stood in front of the whiteboard and drew out the logical relationship of the case. He threw the pen on the table, looked at everyone, and said, "Wu Chuanming also confessed that in the previous projects, it was inevitable that some people would find that the building materials were substandard. But some people held an attitude of not caring about it and just worked without saying anything. Some people boldly exposed it. Some of these people were suppressed by Jiang Chengtao with money; the other part...like Feng Yuxue, was dealt with secretly."
Wei Zhengyi frowned: "Didn't anyone call the police?"
Zhou Qiming shook his head: "Most of the workers who come here to work are from other places, and their friends and relatives are not here. Even if someone's relatives and friends cannot be contacted for a long time, it is not certain what happened. In addition, Jiang Chengtao and others have been deliberately suppressing the news, so it has not become a big deal."
Everyone frowned and felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
It is hard to imagine how many people Jiang Chengtao and his colleagues have "dealt with" in this way over the years.
Zhou Qiming said: "Anyway, Wu Chuanming's confession is a very important testimony for us. Combined with the other victims he mentioned, it will be impossible for Jiang Chengtao to clear himself completely."
He looked around and said, "Then we can start with other victims and follow the clues. We will eventually find evidence against Jiang Chengtao."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Yue Lingchuan was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and knocked on the table: "That's what I said, but Wu Chuanming's words alone are still not enough."
Zhou Qiming turned to look at him. Yue Lingchuan said, "Firstly, according to Wu Chuanming, he was only an insider and not the executor in these cases. His statement is not strong enough. Secondly, since Jiang Chengtao dared to be so bold, it means that he has already dealt with the dead. So much time has passed, and more evidence may be difficult to find. Even if he finds it, he can throw all the responsibility to Song Yansheng like in this case."
"After all, Jiang Chengtao only gave the order and did not do it himself. He can say that all this was done by Song Yansheng on his own initiative. Then he can publicize some words such as actively cooperating with the police in handling the case. I am afraid that Hengtai's reputation will not only not be affected, but will be further improved."
Luo Kaiyang frowned: "In that case, we still have to start with Song Yansheng?"
Wei Zhengyi hesitated and said, "But Song Yansheng clearly wants to take all the responsibility. How can we force him to open his mouth?"
Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Jiang Chengtao is currently using Song Yansheng's family to threaten him. If we want to break the situation, it's best to start with Song Yansheng's family."
Yue Lingchuan also said: "Besides, Song Yansheng has done so many things for Jiang Chengtao. I don't think he would leave any evidence behind."
Zhou Qiming stroked his chin and said, "Then we have to go to Song Yansheng's house to check... If his wife is willing to cooperate, that would be the best..." After all, if Song Yansheng really left evidence that Jiang Chengtao instructed him to do it, there is a high probability that it is hidden at home or other similar secret places. But what if…
If Song Yansheng's wife didn't care that much about her husband, or if they had a bad relationship and thought it was not bad to exchange his second half of life for the prosperity of their mother and son, then it would be difficult to deal with it...
Yue Lingchuan pondered for a moment and decided, "We have to go and see for ourselves what Song Yansheng's wife's attitude is."
He looked at everyone and said, "Tomorrow we will split up. Lao Zhou, you, Jiang Cheng, and Zhengyi Kaiyang go investigate the previous victims; Xiao Shen and I will go to Song Yansheng's house to find out what his wife has to say."
Everyone responded. Yue Lingchuan waited for a while, but he didn't hear the girl's clear voice.
His heart paused and he turned his head to see Shen Qingye sitting in the corner of the table, looking down at a document with a focused expression.
"Xiao Shen?" He called out, but Shen Qingye did not respond. Wei Zhengyi on the side patted her on the shoulder, and she came back to her senses: "Boss."
Yue Lingchuan raised his eyebrows, looking curious: "What are you looking at? So serious?"
Shen Qingye paused, touched her hair, and said, "Nothing, I just found something a little strange."
"Strange place?" Everyone came forward after hearing this. Wei Zhengyi stretched his head and read the words on the document clearly before hissing softly, "Song Yansheng's family information... This was just sent over from Shanghe County, right? What's the problem?"
Shen Qingye calmed down, pointed at the black words on the white paper, and said, "This information shows that when Song Yansheng was eight years old, his father went out to work and never came back. His mother waited for a few years and remarried and left. He basically grew up with his grandparents. When he was 12 years old, his grandparents passed away one after another. He was the only one left in the family. He grew up eating food from hundreds of families in the village..."
Wei Zhengyi scratched his head and said, "That's right. Song Yansheng's parents and grandparents are all gone, so his wife and children are his only relatives left."
Therefore, they could understand Song Yansheng's behavior of trying to sacrifice himself to save his wife and children.
Shen Qingye shook his head: "No, that's not what I'm talking about."
She moved her finger to the back, pointed at the column for his spouse, and said, "Look, Song Yansheng got married on August 17, 1998, but on February 8 of the following year, his wife gave birth."
She looked up at everyone. Everyone counted on their fingers. Luo Kaiyang murmured, "August 17 to February 8... This is less than six months!"
Zhou Qiming subconsciously asked: "Premature birth?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head and said, "No, a premature baby will basically not survive before six months."
Wei Zhengyi said: "That is...pre-marital pregnancy? Getting married with a baby?"
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Yue Lingchuan lowered his eyelashes and looked at the document for a while before he said, "Do you think there's something wrong with this date?"
Shen Qingye pursed her lips: "I can't really tell..."
Logically speaking, if a woman gets pregnant less than six months after marriage, there is a high possibility that she had the child before marriage.
only……
"I just think this is a little strange." I can't say why, it's just a feeling.
She looked at Yue Lingchuan and suggested, "Maybe we can focus on this when we go there tomorrow."
Yue Lingchuan nodded: "Of course."
He looked at the document and frowned slightly.
This date...
He tapped his fingers unconsciously on his arm.
…
Today's progress was relatively smooth, and when it was time to get off work, everyone left without staying any longer.
After Shen Qingye returned home, he ate the pickled fish he had been craving for yesterday. He was immediately satisfied and slept well.
The next morning, Shen Qingye went out in high spirits and arrived downstairs of Song Yansheng's community where he had agreed to meet with Yue Lingchuan in advance.
It was still early and the light was just right. Outside the gate of the community, some young people who are in a hurry to go to work are coming and going, while inside the community, a group of elderly people are leisurely and comfortable. Or they would gather together to watch the children playing and having fun, and chat casually; or they would find a place under the shade of a tree, and play chess, chasing each other and killing each other.
Shen Qingye was observing the surrounding environment, but did not notice that she and Yue Lingchuan were also being stared at.
The girl was tall, with her hair tied up in a ponytail, revealing her beautiful facial features, with dark and bright eyes and brows, and she was exceptionally calm, which made her look very attractive. The man next to her was tall and straight, with a handsome face, and his eyes and brows had a casual and nonchalant look, and they looked like a perfect match.
The old people pointed and talked, and watched them stop under a building. They looked up but were not in a hurry to go in.
An old lady couldn't help but called out, "Little girls, what are you doing?"
Shen Qingye turned around and looked at the elderly people gathered together. She exchanged glances with Yue Lingchuan, smiled and walked forward, saying, "Auntie, we are here to look for someone."
She looked back at the building, pursed her lips, and said a little embarrassedly: "It's just that we are not sure whether he lives here, and we are thinking about asking someone."
Upon hearing this, the old lady patted her chest and said, "I live in this building. Who are you looking for? I know for sure!"
Shen Qingye was instantly surprised and said, "Really? Then we are so lucky!"
The old lady waved her hands: "How can this be false? Tell me, who are you looking for?"
Shen Qingye came over to sit next to her and asked intimately, "Song Yansheng, do you know?"
The old lady was stunned: "Song Yansheng?"
Shen Qingye added: "His wife's name is Guan Lili."
"Oh, Xiao Song's family!" The old lady looked a little strange: "Are you looking for him?"
The other elderly people around also started to whisper to each other after hearing this. Shen Qingye observed their expressions, and paused for a moment, but remained calm. She said, "Yes, Auntie, do you know which floor his house is on?"
The old lady curled her lips and said, "I know. How could I not know? They live upstairs from me. They are the second household on the fourth floor."
She paused, and couldn't help but ask, "Little girl, what do you want from their family?"
Shen Qingye smiled: "There is something going on at work, and the leader sent us here."
She was silent for a moment, looked at their expressions, lowered her voice, and said carefully: "Auntie, to be honest, we haven't had much dealings with Mr. Song. If it weren't for the leader's order, I wouldn't want to come this time..."
She rolled her eyes, moved closer, and pleaded, "Auntie, can you tell us what kind of people are Mr. Song and his family?"
Upon hearing this, Old Lady Qin exchanged glances with the other old sisters, hesitated for a moment, and only said vaguely: "This, this is Xiao Song's family... Xiao Song is a nice person, very polite and polite, and he always greets us when he sees us."
Xiao Song is still...
A strange look flashed across Shen Qingye's eyes, and he pretended not to understand and said, "So, Mr. Song is easy to talk to?"
Another old lady beside her nodded: "He is very easy to talk to. He will not refuse to help us if we need help. He is very polite and tries his best to treat us."
Others also nodded: "Xiao Song is still an okay person!"
"There aren't many polite and well-educated young men nowadays..."
"It's such a pity..."
Shen Qingye hurriedly asked: "What a pity?"
Everyone paused, looked at each other, and fell silent.
Combined with their previous conversation and Song Yansheng's subtle expression -
Shen Qingye asked tentatively: "What's wrong with being his wife?"
An old lady waved her hands: "Hey, we never said that!"
Old Mrs. Qin also smiled and said, "No, no. Aren't you going to look for Song Yansheng? His house is on the fourth floor, the one in the middle. Xiao Song usually has to go to work, so his wife should still be at home."
Shen Qingye refused to give up. She bit her lower lip and pretended to be pitiful and said, "Auntie, just tell me about it."
"To be honest, our leader just wants to cooperate with Mr. Song's company, so he asked us to come to his house to test the waters, just to see if we can please Mr. Song's family and say something good..."
"We also want to know more about his family. Otherwise, if we come across any taboos later, my boss will definitely scold me..."
The little girl looked at them pitifully, and everyone looked at each other, feeling a little hesitant.
Shen Qingye immediately assured: "Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone about what happened today. If anyone else knows about this besides us, come find me!"
Seeing her like this, Old Lady Qin couldn't help but laugh: "Look at what you said."
She shook her head, was silent for a while, and said, "Ah, there's nothing to hide. Everyone in our community knows about this."
"It's not that we mean to say bad things about her, it's just that, hey, it doesn't sound good anyway."
Shen Qingye listened attentively: "You say."
Old Lady Qin said, "Xiao Song himself is good. Everyone in our community likes him. But his wife..."
She tutted and shook her head.
Shen Qingye asked, "Is there anything wrong with his wife?"
Old Lady Qin said, "It's not a problem... As for Xiaoguan, she's pretty, young and beautiful. When they first got married, everyone thought they were a perfect match. But as time went by..."
An old lady couldn't help but say, "Xiao Guan's eyes are on the top of his head! When he sees everyone, he doesn't say hello, and he always looks down on people with his chin up. Everyone was surprised at first, how could Xiao Song, such a humble man, find such an arrogant wife? But we are just neighbors, and it's hard to say anything. At most, we can just have less contact in the future!"
Someone spoke up, and the others responded: "Yeah, one time I took the initiative to deal with her, and what happened? She didn't even look at me, she just walked straight past me, I was so angry at the time!"
"Another time, didn't my family send some vegetables over? I thought that our family couldn't finish them all, and the vegetables were all fresh and juicy, so I thought of sending some to the neighbors. I was afraid that the young people would dislike them, so I specially picked the good ones to send over! But when she took them, she looked disgusted, as if I gave her something dirty. I was a little annoyed at the time, but I managed to hold back! But who would have thought that a little while later, when I went downstairs, I happened to see her nanny going out to throw away the garbage, and the top ones were the vegetables I sent her, so fresh, and the outer bag was the one I gave her! I was almost mad at the time!"
Shen Qingye asked: "Does she have a nanny at home?"
"Isn't it? You say Xiao Song usually works outside and doesn't go home for dinner. Isn't she just taking care of the children and doing housework at home? How free is that? But in the end, she doesn't even want to do such a small job. She just hired a nanny less than a month after getting married, and she leaves all the big and small things to the nanny! What about herself? She just does her nails and beauty treatments, and goes out to buy clothes every now and then. You didn't see it, but she carries a lot of bags every time, at least ten bags! So Xiao Song is the only one supporting the family, and there is no help from his parents. How much does he have to earn to spend so much?"
"We have advised Xiao Song openly and secretly, saying that the child is still young and can't spend money so lavishly. The child's schooling and other things will cost a lot of money in the future! Xiao Song just said that he can't control her, so let him spend if he wants! We have no choice. After all the talk, we don't want to become enemies. We can only avoid seeing each other!"
"Otherwise, Xiaoguan doesn't know how to live. Not only does she spend lavishly every day, but she also doesn't care about her children. Whenever you see her children go out, they are always taken care of by a nanny. I've rarely seen her take the children out to play!"
"Luckily she doesn't take the kids out to play very often, otherwise who would be able to stand it?"
Shen Qingye understood the meaning of these words and asked hurriedly, "What do you mean?"
The man waved his hands and said unhappily, "Don't mention it! You said we all live in the same neighborhood, it's normal for children to play together, right? What happened? She's so precious! Last time I brought her baby son down to play, she kept telling him not to play with this or touch that! My grandson saw that the child was alone and pitiful, so he pulled him to play with him. What happened? Guan Lili pushed my grandson aside and told her child not to play with my grandson, saying that such wild children are very dirty and they are not allowed to mix with them! At that time, I was so angry that my lungs almost exploded, and I almost quarreled with her! As for her, she avoided us as if she were avoiding a virus, and went back directly! She looked so disgusted, as if she was a princess!"
"That's right! We all live in the same neighborhood. Xiao Song may earn a little more, but how much more can he earn? Isn't he still working for someone else? But what about her? She acts like she's not from the same class as us all the time! She's so high and mighty that if you don't know her, you'd think she's the president's wife!"
"If she is really that rich, why doesn't she move to a bigger and better villa? And live with us? If you ask me, she just doesn't have that kind of luck, and she has the disease of a rich lady! I don't know where her sense of superiority comes from!"
"Well, you can't say that. Maybe she really has that fate. Look at her charming and seductive appearance. She doesn't look like the daughter of a good family! Her son may not even be Xiao Song's!"
Shen Qingye was shocked: "What do you mean?"
