Chapter 249 Brother's Identity
Han Jianye had just come out of a meeting. He checked his phone and found that Ye Bai had not replied.
He has been on business trips recently, and after careful calculation, they haven't seen each other for a month, so she sent him a message.
Han Jianye: [Has the missing person who returned to her mother's home finished get off work? 】
Ye Bai happened to be in the car, and when he received the message, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.
[I have to work overtime.] 】
Han Jianye replied: [, Hey~ I was thinking of looking for you. 】
When Ye Bai saw the reply, his eyes softened and he simply replied: [Han Jianye, wait until I’m done with my work. Just wait for me in Zhunan City until I come to find you. 】
With this assurance, Han Jianye's mood instantly brightened, "Okay then, you must compensate me when the time comes. (づ￣3￣)づ╭～】
【good. 】
After Ye Bai replied to the message, he quietly put away his phone.
He did not mention to Han Jianye that they had found clues about "Xiao Ge".
For some reason, he had a strong premonition that this kidnapping case seemed to be coming to an end.
Without time to eat lunch, Yan Yi took Ye Bai and hurried to Mo Qian's office.
Mo Qian was concentrating on sorting out documents. When he saw them come in, he raised his head and said calmly, "Because the deceased is already a corpse, we have no way of knowing whether he had internal injuries or flesh injuries before his death. According to the current situation, the skeleton has no signs of injury or fracture, and the toxicology analysis did not show any abnormalities..."
Halfway through his speech, he seemed to remember the bottle of quick-acting heart pills and the unfinished notes, frowned slightly, and continued: "Combined with the clues found at the scene, we can only temporarily speculate that the deceased may have coronary heart disease, or he may have symptoms such as chest tightness, fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. This may be a manifestation of myocardial ischemia, or it may be a precursor to acute angina pectoris. Overall, I am more inclined to believe that he died of a sudden myocardial infarction."
Yan Yi has always had great confidence in Mo Qian's professional abilities.
The deceased had been dead for 17 years, and there were very few clues left for them, but the cause of death deduced by Mo Qian based on the situation at the scene seemed very reasonable. Therefore, they temporarily ruled out the possibility of homicide.
Now, they have focused the clues on the deceased's mobile phone and notebook. In fact, the notebook is Miao Xiang's diary. It turns out that he has the habit of writing a diary.
Fortunately, the technician first performed a visual inspection of the phone's battery and confirmed that the battery was not swollen or damaged.
They then attempted to charge the battery and test its performance. The results showed that the battery was able to charge normally and its durability was still strong.
However, even if the phone is well preserved, the battery performance will naturally decline over time after a long period of idleness, and the battery life will become extremely short.
But for them, it was enough.
As they expected, the deceased's last historical contact was a mobile phone number without real-name authentication and had been cancelled, but unfortunately there was no name noted.
But Ye Bai memorized the phone number in his mind.
What surprised them even more was that they found text messages between the deceased and Cao Ge in his mobile phone.
After verification through these text messages, it was confirmed that the deceased Miao Xiang was undoubtedly "Xiao Ge".
At the same time, they also saw shocking content in the text messages.
It turned out that the owner of the cancelled mobile phone number was very generous and directly gave Miao Xiang 800,000 yuan to complete the kidnapping case. However, after thinking about it, he still didn't want to take the risk himself, so he found Cao Ge.
The price negotiated with Cao Ge at that time was 500,000 if the job was done.
Miao Xiang and Cao Ge met at Shuanghua International Building. Miao Xiang first paid Cao Ge a deposit of 150,000 yuan, and then gave him the remaining 350,000 yuan after the deal was done. He kept 300,000 yuan for himself.
As for why Ye Che was kidnapped?
Although that page of notes was a little damaged, a few key words could still be vaguely recognized, and this part of the content was undoubtedly an extremely critical link in the whole mystery.
The notes mentioned that they had carefully planned a conspiracy.
They planned to kidnap Ye Che first, knock him unconscious, and then wait for the owner of the phone to come and pick him up.
When the time is right, they will shave Ye Che's hair, change his clothes, and finally send him to a village deep in the mountains called Lianhua Village, handing him over to a farmer named Niu, asking him to raise him by pretending to be the other's son.
After seeing these contents, Ye Bai felt a chill running down his spine and straight to his heart. His veins bulged instantly and he clenched his fists in anger, with his knuckles making a crackling sound.
He took deep breaths desperately, trying to calm the rage in his heart, but the anger in his heart was like a surging tide, difficult to calm down.
He really couldn't imagine how great the hatred must be for someone to be so cruel as to do such a cruel thing to his own brother?
Another point is why Cao Ge told Zhu Qingnan that the 5 million would be divided equally between them. The reason is actually very simple.
Cao Ge was well aware of Zhu Qingnan's timidity and greed. He knew that if he offered a low price, Zhu Qingnan would definitely not dare to take the risk of cooperating with him.
So, he deliberately lied about the price, claiming that there was 5 million to be divided, just to make Zhu Qingnan willingly accompany him on this trip.
He figured that as long as the job was done, he would get the 350,000 first, and as for the rest of the money, he could just find an excuse and put the blame on the owner of the machine. Miao Xiang also agreed.
However, Cao Ge never expected that not only did he fail to accomplish his task, but he was also shot dead on the spot by Officer Liang while resisting and escaping.
Zhu Qingnan, who is still alive, has always been brooding over the "millionaire dream" that he almost realized.
When Miao Xiang knew that the truth had been revealed, he took the remaining 650,000 yuan and hid it quietly.
Yan Yi snorted coldly and shook his head, his tone full of sarcasm: "Kidnapping and premeditated child trafficking are numerous crimes. It is true that man proposes, God disposes. Cao Ge never thought that he would die on the spot in that kidnapping case."
After reading this content, Ye Bai felt mixed emotions.
He frowned and looked angry: Who is this person who offered 800,000? Why was he so cruel to his brother and even wanted to send Ye Che to the mountains?
For Ye Che, who had been spoiled since childhood, such a life was tantamount to hell. It would be more satisfying to just kill him.
In addition to these contents, they also learned one thing from Miao Xiang’s mobile phone: Miao Xiang had been secretly doing shady business. He would do anything that could make money, including smuggling mobile phones, motorcycles, diesel, imported goods, and even counterfeiting currency.
Zhong Ziqun couldn't help but sigh: "This was only possible because transportation and communications were not well developed more than a decade ago, so he was lucky enough to escape. If it were now, he would have been arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment."
Then he added: "Just a few months later, Miao Xiang died. It seems that God couldn't bear it and took him away. The 650,000 yuan in cash in the cabinet must be the money he kept for himself. It really fits the saying: people die, but the money is not spent, and it ends up being wasted by cockroaches."
But Ye Bai firmly believed that the name of the owner should be written on the notebook, but it was stuck together and could not be seen for the time being.
