Chapter 158 158 Wow, this Liu Xiang is quite skilled...
Fan Ya knew Liu Xiang longer than the middle-aged woman who had been arrested. According to Fan Ya's confession, Liu Xiang was a very enthusiastic, loyal, attentive and caring sister-like friend.
Since the two met at a barbecue stall in 2020, Liu Xiang has helped her a lot in the nearly four years.
She enlightened her, comforted her, and guided her growth. Even after her father suffered a cerebral hemorrhage and became paralyzed, Liu Xiang found a way to help her get a supermarket.
After all, although her father was paralyzed and had difficulty moving, he was still alive. In her father's heart, his girlfriend was more important than his daughter. He once wanted to hand over the supermarket to his girlfriend. Fan Ya made a fuss several times but to no avail. In the end, it was Liu Xiang who helped. She didn't know what method she used, but in less than a week, her father changed his mind and handed the supermarket over to her to run. Of course, they would each get half of the monthly profit.
This result was beyond Fan Ya's expectations. She was very grateful and has been completely devoted to Liu Xiang since then.
Seeing this, Pang Le suddenly said, "It seems that Fan Ya's father's change of heart wasn't that simple. I guess Liu Xiang must have threatened him. Let's not talk about others. Just that Geng Jing, if he went over and verbally threatened her father, wouldn't dare to disobey."
Zhong Xiaoyu also said, "Wow, this Liu Xiang is quite skilled. She's really adept at using sugar-coated bullets and winning people over. With her tactics, I really don't believe she's just an ordinary member of their gang. I think she must be a core figure."
"I think so too," Qi Bai said. "If nothing else, the fact that Geng Jing doesn't even show his teeth in front of her shows that she must have a high status in the gang. If we dig deeper into her, we might actually unearth something big."
Qi Bai looked at Xu Nian and asked, "Captain Xu, can our people arrive tomorrow? I feel like we've reached a critical point in this case."
Although Ji An is from Shangshuang City, almost 80% of these people are from Yongquan City. Even when investigating a case, they obviously prefer to cooperate with their own people.
Therefore, after Qi Bai finished speaking, everyone, including Lu Tingfeng, subconsciously looked at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian met Guan Xia's gaze, his eyes slightly curved as he replied, "Director Ren called me before the operation last night. Not only our branch, but also the municipal and provincial bureaus will be sending people. From what Director Ren said, the task force also believes that the clues we've found do indicate a strong possibility of a connection to that criminal organization."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
The case has been investigated for a long time and there are more and more clues. Even though Captain Zhou and his colleagues from the Nanping Branch have given their full support, they still feel short-handed, especially since even a newly hired non-staff member like Guan Xia has to go into the tracking. Although everything is going well, they are always uneasy, fearing that someone will get into an accident due to the shortage of manpower.
With no worries at all and the case making great progress, everyone relaxed and Guan Xia also adjusted his posture and continued to watch.
After Fan Ya took over the supermarket from her father, she hired Ge Qing and Gao Cuicui to help in the supermarket.
Although the supermarket was not big and the facilities in that old community were not perfect, the community was really big and the occupancy rate was high, so it was impossible for one person to handle it all. Later, through Liu Xiang's introduction, Fan Ya, Ge Qing and Gao Cuicui got to know each other.
As far as Fan Ya knew, Ge Qing and Gao Cuicui came to help because Liu Xiang had helped them before, and Liu Xiang was older than them and had more social experience, so they trusted her very much. Their original jobs were as cashiers and dishwashers in restaurants, and their salaries were even lower than what Fan Ya offered them, so they resigned without saying a word and came to help.
In Fan Ya's confession, she said that since she and Liu Xiang met in 2020, it was Liu Xiang who had always taken care of her, contributing money and effort. Even her biological sister did no better than her, so when Liu Xiang asked her to help with something one day, she agreed without saying a word.
She still remembered that Liu Xiang came to see her one night. She had been busy in the supermarket all day and had just returned to the house. She was a little hungry and was discussing with Ge Qing and Gao Cuicui whether to order some takeout. Liu Xiang knocked on the door with a bunch of midnight snacks and a few bottles of beer.
Everyone ate for a while. Although Liu Xiang was talking to them, Fan Ya, Ge Qing and Gao Cuicui could tell from her expression that she was worried, so they asked about it.
Liu Xiang then told them that a friend she knew was in trouble and she wanted to find someone to help, but the matter was a bit complicated and tricky, and she didn't know who to ask for help.
Fan Ya had received so much help from Liu Xiang that she actively offered to help without saying a word. However, Liu Xiang did not agree, but first told them how difficult the matter was.
Liu Xiang was talking about a friend of hers who married and moved to Shangshuang City. Now her child is 6 years old, and her husband is cheating on her. After she found out, he not only did not feel guilty, but even shamelessly said that he wanted to divorce her. Because her friend was in poor health, and giving birth to a child had caused certain harm to her body, she could not go out to work for a long time after the child went to kindergarten. She had been doing housework and taking care of the child at home for so many years and had no income. Her husband used this as an excuse to kick her out of the house.
Liu Xiang told them that her friend and her husband were college classmates. Before they got married, her friend clearly stated that she was in poor health and did not want children. As a result, after marriage, her husband and her mother-in-law's family put pressure on her, and used all kinds of threats and inducements to induce her, almost coaxing and forcing her to have a child. As a result, now they take advantage of the fact that she married far away and bully her like this. Not only did they drive her out of the house, they also forbade her from taking the child with her, and even her husband openly brought the mistress into the house to live.
Her friend only found out later that the mistress was actually her husband's white moonlight. They had a brief romance in high school, and after graduation, she went abroad to study. She came back three years after they got married. The white moonlight was also married at that time. Her husband treated her well, but she couldn't let go of her first love, so the two of them became underground lovers.
Then just recently, in June, Bai Yueguang got divorced. Probably because she was single again, she became unscrupulous, so she was discovered by her friends, and things got out of control.
Liu Xiang told them that her friend had never been away from her child since she gave birth. She had gone to her home several times to ask for the child back and had even tried to secretly contact the child, but was driven away. In the process, she was pushed and injured, and she sprained her foot. Now she cries every day at Liu Xiang's house. Liu Xiang has been feeling angry these days, thinking about how to teach that scumbag and bitch a lesson, and most importantly, how to find a way to snatch the child back.
Seeing this, not only Guan Xia was stunned, Pang Le was even more amazed and said: "Good guy, a cheating husband, a friend who was bullied because of illness, and Bai Yueguang who rekindled her old love after returning from studying abroad. This Liu Xiang is really good at making up stories. If I didn't know it was fake, I would be furious. She must have read a lot of novels and TV dramas. The elements of this story are too complete. No wonder the three girls were deceived."
Zhong Xiaoyu tutted, "It's no wonder these three girls got tricked. Liu Xiang's methods are simply too clever. If you put yourself in her shoes, at least half of the ten people would have fallen for that lie."
Guan Xia followed Zhong Xiaoyu's words and thought about it from her perspective. If it was Pang Le, who had always been good to her, who lied to her, whether Guan Xia would help or not would be secondary, but she would definitely not doubt him. She would even sincerely curse the scumbag with her and help her find a way to get the child back.
"Sure enough, there's a reason why so many people got scammed," Pang Le continued. "Her skill level is too high. I don't doubt how she managed to trick Ning Xin and her daughter into getting on the bus. Although she doesn't appear in Ning Xin's social circles, perhaps they've met before. So even with Geng Jing present, Ning Xin still got on the bus with her child."
Everyone discussed for a few sentences and then continued reading.
In Fan Ya's confession, after Liu Xiang finished talking to them, whether it was Fan Ya, Ge Qing or Gao Cuicui, the three of them were very indignant. Not only did they actively offer to help, they also enthusiastically discussed and came up with suggestions.
In the end, Gao Cuicui's proposal was unanimously adopted by everyone. Although the method was a bit risky and sounded quite vicious, it could indeed solve the problem once and for all and teach those shameless villains a lesson.
Gao Cuicui suggested that she often rode a small electric bike to deliver goods and was very familiar with the nearby paths. She even knew a secret path in the community where Liu Xiang's friend lived. She was sure that there were no surveillance cameras on that secret path, but the surveillance situation in that community was unclear. However, they could scout the area.
As long as they keep it tightly covered, the community is an old one with many people coming in and out, and the surveillance coverage is not high. In addition, it is summer, so it will not arouse suspicion. They can take turns to wait there and find an opportunity to take the child away. As soon as they get the child, Liu Xiang's friend immediately buys a ticket to leave Shangshuang City. In this way, they will not be afraid of being found by that evil family. Even if they are suspected later, as long as they completely avoid contact, the country is so big, there will always be a hiding place for them, mother and child. In a few years, they just need to work hard to live a good life.
This method involves certain risks. Fan Ya was a little hesitant at first, but when she saw Liu Xiang's frowning face but now cheerful appearance, she immediately put her hesitation behind her.
At that time, she was thinking wholeheartedly that she must help Liu Xiang this time. After all, Liu Xiang had helped her in the same way before. She also guessed that maybe it was because Liu Xiang always spared no effort to help her friends that she had so many friends and they all trusted her so much.
After explaining the cause of the incident, Fan Ya described in detail in her confession how they had done it.
The idea was proposed by Gao Cuicui, but Liu Xiang also participated. The four of them took turns to scout the community where Yan Xingyu lived. Fortunately, it was midsummer and the four of them were all women. They were all fully armed, and some even wore sunglasses without showing their eyes, but no one suspected anything.
The residential complex was quite large, and it took the four of them many days to thoroughly understand all the available surveillance cameras. Then they simulated many times the route to grab the child and move him away. After simulating again and again, they were still unable to avoid all the cameras. In the end, they had no choice but to choose the route with the least cameras. Then one night, Ge Qing and Gao Cuicui worked together, one person destroyed the camera while the other kept watch not far away.
The plan was a bit risky, but perhaps because of sufficient preparation, everything went smoothly when it was finally implemented. It was Liu Xiang who took Yan Xingyu away that day.
She was on vacation that day, and it happened to be her turn to wait. What a coincidence, she had no hope at all in the middle of the day, but she saw Yan Xingyu leaving the adults and sitting on the swing alone. He ended up getting his butt burned and was crying alone.
Liu Xiang told Fan Ya that she had confirmed several times that Yan Xingyu's crying did not attract anyone. Only then did Liu Xiang bravely take out a very realistic kitten doll from her pocket. Yan Xingyu was indeed attracted by it. He hesitated for only a few seconds and finally ran over.
Liu Xiang led Yan Xingyu to the surveillance blind spot and let him play with the kitten doll for a while. When he had completely let down his guard, she covered Yan Xingyu's mouth and nose with a towel that had been sprayed with the chemical spray used to knock people out. After knocking him out, she walked along the path that had been simulated and determined long ago.
On the way out, Liu Xiang called Gao Cuicui. Gao Cuicui rode an electric bike and took Liu Xiang and Yan Xingyu out of the community through a small road where the surveillance camera had long been broken. They ran three or four kilometers with many twists and turns, and then sent Liu Xiang to a van that had been waiting on the roadside.
At this point, Fan Ya's confession was basically over. The interrogating police then repeatedly questioned her, trying to find out every detail of the crime process and to confirm whether she had concealed anything or lied.
After reading Fan Ya's confession, Guan Xia then read Ge Qing and Gao Cuicui's. The two had different ways of knowing Liu Xiang, but their statements about Yan Xingyu's disappearance were similar. It could be seen from the confessions of the three that none of them lied. They were indeed deceived and used by Liu Xiang to commit a crime that would cost them several years in prison.
After handing the confession back to the clerk at the Nanping branch, Guan Xia breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Up to now, we've finally opened a glimpse into the organization's inner workings. So, how should we investigate next? Should we use Liu Xiang as a breakthrough point, or Geng Jing?"
Although Guan Xia asked this, he was thinking in his heart that Yan Xingyu had been found and five criminal suspects had been arrested in one go. There was no need to follow up on this clue, and the manpower suddenly became more sufficient. According to Xu Nian's personality, he should continue to split the troops into two groups.
As expected, Xu Nian said, "I've already discussed this with Captain Zhou. They'll continue to keep an eye on Geng Jing, while we'll be responsible for Liu Xiang. As for the buyer who did business with Liu Xiang and her gang, we'll hand them over to Captain Zhou and his branch. We'll be moving forward on all three fronts simultaneously."
Guan Xia glanced at the time and said, "It's been nearly six hours since Yan Xingyu was rescued. I remember you said that the Nanping branch would ensure that Liu Xiang didn't receive any news for 48 hours. That means we only have about thirty hours left. How should we investigate in such a short time? Should we start by investigating Liu Xiang's social connections?"
Ji An suddenly thought of something and said, "Remember our previous speculation that Liu Xiang had reapproached Fan Ya, Ge Qing, and the others? She might have a new target, which means she has a new buyer. As long as we keep a close eye on Liu Xiang, we should be able to follow the clues and pull out a group of people."
Xu Nian thought for a moment and then said, "Then let's investigate the old way. We have enough manpower now. Let's assign a few people to investigate Liu Xiang's social relationships. Then the rest of us can be divided into several groups to keep a close eye on her 24 hours a day. They've been so active lately. I believe as long as we don't miss anything, we'll definitely make a big discovery. But there's one thing we must pay special attention to."
Xu Nian concluded his speech by emphasizing, "Liu Xiang is a key figure in the suspected criminal gang we've discovered. We must keep a close eye on her, but if anyone sees signs of her fleeing or committing suicide out of fear of punishment, they must arrest her immediately and absolutely not let her escape."
Even Guan Xia was startled when he heard this. He stood up straight unconsciously and nodded very solemnly.
Because of Guan Xia's special nature, Xu Nian considered it over and over again, and finally assigned her to the group of people who were following her. Taking into account that her combat power was the lowest, after much deliberation, he assigned Zhong Xiaoyu and Qi Bai to the same group with her. The others were grouped in pairs, but they were special, as they were grouped in groups of three.
Guan Xia did not refuse. In their group, apart from her low fighting ability, Zhong Xiaoyu was the best fighter among all of them. Although Qi Bai was not as strong as Zhong Xiaoyu, he was young, responsive, strong and had received formal training. Forget about pinning down Liu Xiang, even Geng Jing could be pinned down in a few moves.
Guan Xia was not worried about her own safety at all. She was just thinking about whether she could find any key figures by keeping an eye on the supermarket where Liu Xiang worked.
