Chapter 135 Indirect Murder
Theoretically, Qian Hongxing does not know Sun Kun.
But it was not difficult for Sun Kun to know that Qian Lailai was Qian Hongxing's son.
Although Qian Hongxing was quite confident that his identity had not been exposed, the only flaw was the signature on a test paper.
But this was just his stubborn wishful thinking.
No matter how cautious you are, can you still forge the school registration files and household registration books?
No matter how cautious you are, can you prevent your son from telling other kids, "My dad is a big boss and I live in a villa"?
Of course, this does not mean that the victim is guilty, but we cannot expect people who have no legal bottom line to abide by the moral bottom line.
We can only protect ourselves better.
Zhou Yi didn't deny it, as he had previously led Qian Hongxing to suspect the school's faculty and staff. He simply said the police were currently working hard to locate the suspect and reassured them.
"If we find this person, can we rescue my son?"
Zhou Yi nodded: "If the person who kidnapped Qian Lailai is really this person, then as long as we catch him, we will naturally find your son."
"Great, great. Officer Zhou, you're amazing! Just like Reporter Ding said, your reputation is well-deserved. When you suspected that the person in the car was from the school, I didn't believe you."
Qian Hongxing was talking when he suddenly felt something was wrong. "If that's the case, then Officer Zhou, why did you ask me to get rid of Sister Yang and Xiao Liu?"
Qian Hongxing was suddenly shocked: "Could it be that the two of them are accomplices of the kidnappers?"
Zhou Yi didn't answer directly, but instead asked, "How long have the driver Xiao Liu and the nanny Sister Yang been working in your family?"
Yao Yuling immediately said, "It can't be Sister Yang. Sister Yang took care of me when I was in confinement. Sister Yang treated Lailai very well. There's no way she would harm Lailai."
Qian Hongxing nodded: "Yes, Sister Yang is from the same hometown as my wife's cousin's daughter-in-law. She has worked in our family for many years and is considered someone who knows us well."
"Then where is your driver Xiao Liu?" From the very beginning, the person Zhou Yi suspected was not the nanny Sister Yang.
In his previous life, during the five days Sun Kun used the eighteen notes to manipulate him, it was Qian Hongxing, the hostage's father, who was primarily on the run. It wasn't that the police didn't run, but they realized the kidnapping gang was too professional, and fearing exposure and endangering the hostages' lives, they could only move later, not daring to follow closely.
There is no record in the archives, but it is obvious that Qian Hongxing could not have run the entire journey alone, otherwise he would have collapsed long ago.
It was natural that the only person who would follow him around was the driver Xiao Liu, after all, driving was his job.
That is very likely. In the later stage, maybe Qian Hongxing was too tired, or maybe Xiao Liu was considerate of the boss.
In short, the note at the back might have been left by Xiao Liu after he got off the car to look for it after arriving at the designated location, and then given it to Qian Hongxing after finding it.
And this is where the problem lies.
The case file of the kidnapping case contains a record of the contents of the eighteenth note and also includes photos.
The eighteenth note in the file read: "We are demanding a ransom of two hundred thousand dollars in old bills, fifty thousand dollars per pack, divided into four packs, to be placed in the following four trash cans before seven o'clock tonight. Remember, no strangers are allowed to appear before us!"
The eighteenth note Zhou Yi had just found under Qijia Bridge read: "Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, on a stone bridge two kilometers north of Qijia Bridge, throw the money into the river below. The child will be returned to you."
The contents of the two notes are completely different!
Therefore, the eighteenth note found by Qingshan Branch in the previous life was swapped!
The only one who had the chance to switch the cars was the driver Xiao Liu.
After Zhou Yi discovered Sun Kun's real eighteenth note, he immediately asked Zhang Ning to drive two kilometers north along the road, and indeed they found a stone bridge.
It is called a stone bridge, but in fact it is just a bridge built by villagers using several floor slabs and padded with soil at both ends.
There is a small river less than two meters wide under the bridge, and the water level does not seem to be deep.
The note asked people to throw the money into the river.
Fifty thousand yuan weighs only a little over one pound, and it is old banknotes, so it is relatively loose. If you wrap it up with waterproof kraft paper and tie it up, it should not sink to the bottom when thrown into the water, but will move forward with the current.
Sun Kun really learned something from Hong Kong and Taiwan police and gangster movies. It turns out that the purpose of the second note asking for money to be wrapped in brown paper is this.
However, at that time, Zhou Yi fell into deep thought as he looked at the slowly flowing river.
Even if Sun Kun used some method to fish the money out from downstream, the speed of the river would be enough to catch him eight times.
As he was thinking, Zhou Yi suddenly thought of another key piece of information: time.
The eighteenth note read, tomorrow morning at five o'clock.
There must be something to say about this time.
Finally, Zhang Ning and Zhou Yi drove to a nearby farmer's house. After asking, they found out that this small river was connected to many canals that led to farmland.
It is the busy spring season recently, so every morning at five o'clock, the upstream reservoir will open the gates to release water, and the water will flow from the small river to various canals.
This information solved Zhou Yi's last confusion.
Once the gate is opened, the water will flow very fast, and before dawn at five o'clock, as long as Sun Kun prepares a fishing net in advance, he can ambush anywhere downstream and take away the money.
Even if the police found some clues along the river bank, he would have already escaped.
His kidnapping plan can be said to be perfect.
And according to Chen Yan, Sun Kun had never taught Qian Lailai, so the possibility of being recognized by the hostages was relatively small.
Therefore, it is more likely that he will release the person after receiving the ransom.
First, the nature of kidnapping and kidnapping-murder is completely different. As a teacher of ideology and morality, he definitely understands this.
Secondly, Qian Lailai was not killed until the fifth day, which also confirmed that Sun Kun did not intend to kill to silence him from the beginning.
Although in a kidnapping case, if the perpetrator is an acquaintance and the kidnapper is recognized by the hostage, he will basically be silenced.
But Sun Kun is quite confident about the script he designed.
If everything goes according to his script, he will get the money and get away with it, Qian Lailai will be released, Qian Hongxing will lose 50,000 yuan, which is of no importance to him, and from then on he will have to hire two more bodyguards to follow his beloved son.
What the police got was a cold case of kidnapping with no fatalities.
It’s not a good result, but at least it’s a decent option when there is no other choice.
As a result, because the driver Xiao Liu swapped the eighteenth note, Sun Kun was unable to get the ransom.
He obviously had no backup plan, and in a fit of rage and humiliation, he killed the young hostage.
It's no wonder that when the Qingshan Branch reinvestigated the case eight years later, they found Sun Kun, but no trace of the 50,000 yuan ransom.
Because this money was not taken by Sun Kun at all.
This ransom, which was originally intended to save his life, eventually became Qian Lailai's death warrant.
