Chapter 166 Is this girl still alive?
In the following time, everyone was busy as hell, and the progress of the case was indeed as Xu Nian said, so fast that it was almost dizzying.
First of all, Captain Zhou found out the identity information of the blond man in just one and a half days despite his busy schedule.
When they received Captain Zhou's reply, Guan Xia and the others were still waiting near the physical examination center, waiting for Ji An and Zhong Xiaoyu's physical examination reports, while also observing to see if they could find any other suspicious people.
With the arrival of the task force, Xu Nian and his team were completely relieved. They handed over all the follow-up work they were doing and cooperated wholeheartedly with Guan Xia, looking forward to making another breakthrough.
Ji An and Zhong Xiaoyu rushed to get the report before the medical examination center closed. As soon as they got in the car, Xu Nian's phone rang.
After a long conversation, Xu Nian hung up and turned to Guan Xia, saying, "Captain Zhou's call. They not only looked up Wu Yingze, but also his father. His father's name is Wu Xingxian, and he was indeed from an orphanage. He also has a cousin named Wu Yang."
Xu Nian stopped talking here. Although it was only a few short sentences, it contained a lot of information for both Guan Xia and Xu Nian.
After digesting it for several minutes, Guan Xia finally spoke with some difficulty, "In other words, Wu Yang is indeed very likely connected to that criminal organization."
Xu Nian nodded silently.
Pang Le exclaimed, "Good boy, this is really unexpected, but this way, a lot of things do make sense."
Pang Le's mind rarely turned quickly. After he finished speaking, he continued, "Let me think about it. First of all, didn't we wonder why the same criminal organization had obvious or even contradictory criminal philosophies? Now that we know Wu Yang and Wu Xingxian, it can be explained. The two are brothers. Their families died when they were young. They grew up together in an orphanage and depended on each other. After going through so much, it is very likely that their ideas would influence each other. Maybe this criminal organization was founded by them, but people can only walk together for a while, not forever. It is very likely that they had differences in ideas later. Wu Xingxian left Jianyang City and came to Shangshuang City, and then founded a similar criminal organization. This is why the two are similar, but different."
Pang Le's analysis immediately got everyone talking.
Zhong Xiaoyu followed suit, saying, "I've said before that Wu Yingze's father's rise to wealth in Shangshuang City wasn't that simple. Now it makes sense, doesn't it? Another point is that we've found the reason for his wealth. Although I don't play games much, I've heard of him. He seems to be in the game business, and his company is also involved in the film and television industry, which has been developing rapidly in recent years. Wu Xingxian is naturally not short of money as he is with him."
Guan Xia listened attentively, but suddenly thought of something and interrupted, "I remember Meng Lan told me before that there seemed to be more than two children sent to the orphanage with Wu Yang. It seemed like there were six or seven. I can't remember clearly."
Guan Xia said this and looked at Pang Le with an inquiring look. She remembered what Meng Lan said to her, and she mentioned it when she called Pang Le that night.
As expected, Pang Le also had an impression. He frowned and thought for a while, then nodded with certainty and said, "There are more than two, but I can't remember the exact number. Anyway, it was either six or seven. These were the two numbers you told me at the time."
Zhong Xiaoyu said, "It doesn't matter if it's six or seven. We already have our suspicions, so let's investigate them all. But don't rush. Since we're already in Shangshuang City, let's investigate Wu Yingze and Wu Xingxian first. If we can find key evidence to prove they are the main culprits, then Wu Yang will definitely not be able to escape."
Guan Xia agreed with some of the points. Speculation is one thing, and evidence is another. Before finding clear evidence, no matter how reasonable their suspicions are, they can only act cautiously to avoid alerting the enemy.
After a brief discussion, Xu Nian said, "Let's stop here for today's operation. Captain Zhou said he asked the office staff at his branch to give us the information. While it's still early, let's go to the Nanping branch."
Naturally, everyone had no objection, so Xu Nian called Qi Bai and the others, then started the car and arrived at the Nanping Branch before dark.
Captain Zhou and his team were on the move, so the entire office was empty. The clerk seemed to have been waiting for them. As soon as the group went up to the second floor, a heroic female police officer came up quickly and handed them a thick file bag.
After expressing their gratitude, they pushed the door open and walked into the office as if they were familiar with the place. Without being asked, they found a seat under the conference table and stared eagerly at the file bag in Xu Nian's hand.
Xu Nian opened it quickly and first found two photos and posted them on the whiteboard. Without his introduction, Guan Xia could easily distinguish the two people just by looking at their age and hair color.
The photo on the left is of Wu Xingxian. His hair is half white, and his eyes are exactly the same narrow and long as his son Wu Yingze's. However, his eyes are obviously much sharper than his son's. Perhaps it is because he is getting older, or maybe it is because Guan Xia has a preconceived notion, but he always feels that his eyes are now triangular, which makes people think that this person is cruel.
The person in the photo on the right of Wu Xingxian is naturally Wu Yingze. I don't know when the photo was taken. He looks younger than the one Guan Xia had seen before. His hair is dyed wine red. His expression is full of disdain and his eyes are nonchalant.
After taking a quick glance at the two photos, Guan Xia's first reaction was to take out her cell phone and search for Wu Yang on the Internet. After successfully finding his photo, she enlarged it to the maximum and compared it with Wu Xingxian's photo. Just looking at the facial features, similarities could indeed be found, but compared to Wu Xingxian, Wu Yang looked obviously kinder, and he was not that fat, and there was a shy and honest feeling when he smiled.
Guan Xia didn't feel anything before, but now that she has doubts, she feels creepy when looking at such a face. She can't help but think in her heart that you can't judge a person by his appearance. Who would have thought that such a kind-looking successful person is very likely the boss of a criminal organization.
Seeing Xu Nian taking out the information and distributing it to everyone, Guan Xia quickly shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, put away his phone and concentrated.
"Let's talk about Wu Xingxian first," Xu Nian pointed a finger at Wu Xingxian's photo, his expression somewhat serious as he continued, "Wu Xingxian was born in 1970, making him 54 years old this year. When he was six, both his parents died in a fire, leaving him with no one to raise him. So, in September of that year, he, his cousin Wu Yang, and fellow villagers Su Chengzhi, Su Zhen, Su Ming, and Qiao Guangcai—a total of six of them—were sent to the Children's Welfare Institute in Quming City. At the ages of seven and eight, they were adopted, but were eventually abandoned. They lived in the orphanage until adulthood. According to the university entrance exam, Wu Xingxian was admitted to a third-tier university, but he didn't go. Instead, he went to the city where his cousin Wu Yang was attending university, lived with him, and began to make a living by doing odd jobs."
When Xu Nian reached this point, Qi Bai suddenly said, "It sounds like Wu Xingxian was very dependent on his cousin Wu Yang back then, otherwise he wouldn't have given up his chance to go to university."
"That's not necessarily true," Pang Le retorted, "Perhaps Wu Yang's university life was too difficult and he found it hard, so he persuaded Wu Xingxian to come to his city to work and support him. After all, anyone who can create such a large criminal organization must not only be meticulous but also ruthless, and would not hesitate to exploit even his own family."
After Pang Le finished speaking, the others nodded thoughtfully, but did not express their opinions.
Xu Nian continued, "From what Captain Zhou and the others have found out, Wu Xingxian worked from the age of 18 to 28. During this time, he worked in a factory, worked as a kitchen helper in a small restaurant, and even tried to run a taxi. His son, Wu Yingze, was born when he was 23. His mother was a waitress he met while working in a small restaurant, but their relationship only lasted three years, and they didn't even get a marriage certificate. When Wu Yingze was one year old, he quit his job and returned to his hometown, and never came back. From then on, Wu Xingxian and his cousin Wu Yang raised Wu Yingze together until 1998, when Wu Xingxian was 28 and Wu Yingze was 5. At that time, Wu Yang started his own business and got his first pot of gold. He invested in a car repair shop with someone else. Wu Xingxian has been settled since then and has been helping Wu Yang run the shop."
Guan Xia was a little surprised and said, "Auto repair shops and the gaming industry are worlds apart. I used to think Wu Yang started his business in this field."
Ji An thought for a moment and said, "Maybe Wu Yang saw that Wu Xingxian was taking care of the child, and he had driven a taxi before, so he wanted to find a job to help him settle down."
"Wait," Zhong Xiaoyu suddenly said, "Aren't there six children who entered the orphanage together? What about the other four? Aren't they with the two brothers? Aren't they from the same village? I thought the six of them would be like-minded and rely on each other."
Xu Nian said, "I'm not sure about the other four. Captain Zhou and his team are mainly investigating Wu Xingxian and his son. From the information, apart from growing up in the same orphanage, Wu Xingxian really didn't have much contact with the other four after he became an adult. However, just because Wu Xingxian had no contact with them doesn't mean Wu Yang had no contact with them either. After all, compared to Wu Xingxian, Wu Yang's life experience is obviously more varied and difficult."
Guan Xia nodded subconsciously. It made some sense. Compared to Wu Xingxian, Wu Yang was indeed more cautious and cunning.
Xu Nian went on, "Wu Xingxian took Wu Yingze to manage the auto repair shop until 2002. After accumulating a certain amount of assets, Wu Yang took the lead and partnered with others to open a logistics company. Later, in 2004, he invested in the game company founded by Wu Yang. In just a few years, his wealth quickly became abundant, and the logistics company he operated soon occupied 40% of the market share in Jianyang City. But in 2008, for some unknown reason, Wu Xingxian suddenly sold all the shares of the logistics company and the game company under his name, and then came to Shangshuang City to develop. Since then, he has been developing until today. His industries involve real estate, supermarkets, hotels, amusement parks and catering. As for the Kangjian Physical Examination Center, Captain Zhou and his team also checked it. On the surface, neither Wu Xingxian nor Wu Yingze had anything to do with them. However, they also found out that the legal person of the Kangjian Physical Examination Center was one of Wu Yingze's girlfriends, who had lived abroad for many years. Captain Zhou and his team checked the entry and exit records and found that he had not returned to China for five years."
Pang Le was surprised and said, "Good boy, this is really taking advantage of someone. This way, if anything happens at the medical examination center, it can all be blamed on that girlfriend. And she just happens to be abroad, so it will be difficult to catch her."
"What about Wu Yingze?" Guan Xia asked. "What I'm curious about now is whether this Kangjian Medical Examination Center was the work of Wu Xingxian or was it founded by Wu Yingze. I remember Sister Ji had looked it up before. This Kangjian Medical Examination Center is a chain store. It opened in Shangshuang City ten years ago. At that time, Wu Yingze was only in his early twenties, right? If it weren't for Wu Xingxian's instructions and support, how could he have opened it at such a young age? And these marketing methods, as well as the core business of buying and selling organs, even if Wu Yingze was exposed to them, it would be difficult for him to build such a large and seamless business at the age of twenty."
Guan Xia's question was obviously what everyone else wanted to know. Upon hearing this, they all looked at Xu Nian, waiting for his answer.
Xu Nian pointed at Wu Yingze's photo again and said, "Compared to Wu Xingxian, Wu Yingze's past experience is much simpler. He was just 15 years old when he followed his father to Shangshuang City. He attended high school in a private school in Shangshuang City and went abroad after graduating from high school. In July 2014, Wu Yingze was kidnapped when he returned to China for the summer vacation. He also had plastic surgery that year and then went abroad to study for another year. In 2015, he returned to Shangshuang City completely. After that, according to the public information, Wu Yingze joined the real estate company under Wu Xingxian. However, according to Team Zhou's investigation, the legal person of Kangjian Physical Examination Center had broken up with Wu Yingze at that time. She was originally from Shangshuang City. After returning from studying abroad, she stayed in Shangshuang City for three years and then went abroad again. Although she came back from time to time, the frequency was obviously lower than before. After 2019, she never came back again."
Guan Xia fell into deep thought, and Pang Le said something shocking, "Is this girl... still alive?"
