Chapter 175 Ex-Boyfriend
The technical department only found two people's fingerprints on the shoe box. After comparison, it was confirmed that they came from Qian Hongxing and a security guard from Hongcheng Baodi, the two fingerprints brought back by Zhou Yi.
However, a fingerprint that did not belong to these two people was found on the waste paper filling inside the shoe box.
After comparing it with the fingerprints kept on file of prisoners released after serving their sentences in the city, it was finally confirmed that this fingerprint came from a man named Su Jun.
Soon Su Jun's information was delivered to Wu Yongcheng, and at this time Zhou Yi and the others had already gone out to carry out their respective tasks.
Su Jun, born in 1967, is from Xinhe County, Hongcheng, and dropped out of high school.
On October 14, 1988, he was sentenced to seven years in prison by the Hongcheng First People's Court for illegally stealing other people's property in a huge amount.
Su Jun was dissatisfied with the verdict and filed an appeal. The second instance court ruled that the criminal facts of the case were clear and the chain of evidence was complete, and upheld the verdict of the first instance.
In April 1995, Su Jun was released from prison six months early after his sentence was reduced.
The information is very simple. Su Jun had no criminal record before this.
All in all, it has been exactly two years since he was released from prison.
For prisoners released after serving their sentences, the law does not impose any mandatory requirements on their future living conditions; they enjoy personal freedom just like ordinary people.
But based on the actual situation, grassroots police stations will basically pay a certain amount of attention to this type of people in their jurisdiction, both to ensure social stability and to ensure that these people do not go astray.
Wu Yongcheng immediately asked someone to contact the police station in Su Jun's registered residence to find out about his situation after he was released from prison and his current whereabouts.
Qiao Jiali, who had just finished sending a fax to the provincial department regarding the investigation of released prisoners, came over and took a look. She said, "Isn't this Yao Yuling's ex-boyfriend?"
Wu Yongcheng suddenly realized that it was this person.
Qian Lailai was kidnapped by Sun Kun last time. It was because of this that Su Jun went to Yao Yulin to borrow money. Yao Yulin asked her nanny Yang Jie to take Qian Lailai to the nearby park to play for a while, and Sun Kun took the opportunity to kidnap her.
Although Su Jun had an alibi at the time, the possibility that he was an accomplice of the kidnappers cannot be ruled out. Logically speaking, a person with such a sensitive identity needs to be tracked down.
However, because of Zhou Yi's guidance, Sun Kun was locked on too quickly and quickly. All the investigation directions were focused on Sun Kun, so naturally they would no longer focus on other people with suspicion.
Later, Sun Kun was arrested and it was confirmed during the interrogation that he committed the crime alone and had no accomplices. Therefore, the name Su Jun almost never appeared in Wu Yongcheng's field of vision.
The reason why he felt familiar with the name was because Zhou Yi had mentioned it once in the case closing materials.
Wu Yongcheng picked up the phone on the table and immediately called Zhou Yi.
…
Zhou Yi's task is to investigate the suspicious van provided by the witness and the motorcycle ridden by the man with scar on his face.
According to the key investigative direction proposed by Wu Yongcheng, the vehicle tracking strategy was focused on the stolen vehicle.
Zhou Yi sent information to all branches and grassroots police stations through the command center, retrieving vehicle theft reports that had not been solved in the past three months. After summarizing the information, he focused on reports that matched the vehicle model.
Finally, three stolen vehicles that met the requirements were found, two of which were motorcycles and only one was a van. Zhou Yi decided to find the owner of the van first to find out more.
As soon as Zhou Yi left the Municipal Bureau, the results of the fingerprint comparison came out.
Zhou Yi was also very surprised when he learned that the fingerprints of Yao Yuling’s ex-boyfriend Su Jun were found in the shoe box.
I originally wanted to call Qian Hongxing immediately to find out what happened, but then I remembered Qian Hongxing's reaction when he found out that Yao Yulin's son was kidnapped because of her meeting with Su Jun, and Yao Yulin's easily emotional nature.
Zhou Yi turned the steering wheel and said, "Captain Wu, I'd better go to Qian Hongxing's house first and find out what's going on."
Wu Yongcheng asked worriedly, "Are you sure there's no risk of exposure?"
"No, I'm driving the car provided by Qian Hongxing. With the grade of this car, entering and leaving the villa area won't arouse suspicion. Besides, at this time, even if someone is following me, it would be difficult to see anything clearly."
"Okay, then you should find out the situation as soon as possible. I will list Su Jun as a new search target and track his whereabouts."
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yi stepped on the accelerator. Qian Hongxing asked him to drive a Nissan Fengdu. Although this model was discontinued in 2005, it was still sold for more than 400,000 yuan in 1997.
No wonder the 50,000 ransom Sun Kun asked for was a drop in the bucket for Qian Hongxing. Even if the kidnappers asked for one million, he would agree immediately. It seems that he is doing quite a big business.
Zhou Yi's car sped past on the deserted road, while a drizzle began to fall from the sky.
When Zhou Yi knocked on Qian Hongxing's door, Qian Hongxing's eyes were filled with both anticipation and fear. His lips trembled as he asked, "Officer Zhou, is there any news?"
Zhou Yi entered the house, closed the door, and said, "We are still searching for the kidnappers. Don't worry, all the police in Hongcheng are looking for your son. We will find him soon."
Qian Hongxing nodded disappointedly and thanked him, then asked, "Is there anything else you want to ask me?"
Zhou Yi looked around and found that almost all the lights in the villa were on, but there was a hint of dead silence among the bright lights.
There was food on the table, but it was obviously barely touched.
I didn’t see Yao Yuling.
Zhou Yi asked, "Where's your wife?"
"She had a terrible headache. I asked her to take some painkillers and go upstairs to rest. Sister Yang stayed with her. What happened?"
"Please call her down. There are some situations that may require the two of you to understand."
Qian Hongxing sensed something was amiss. He wondered what the situation was that required him to consult the couple. But he didn't press the issue. Instead, he asked Zhou Yi to sit down for a moment while he went upstairs to call Yao Yuling.
Five minutes later, Yao Yuling followed Qian Hongxing down from the stairs. Her face looked very ugly, and it was obvious that she was holding on.
"Officer Zhou, just ask if you have any questions." Qian Hongxing said as he helped his wife sit down.
"Mrs. Qian, do you know Su Jun?"
As soon as Zhou Yi finished speaking, Yao Yuling's expression suddenly became a little embarrassed. She nodded without saying anything.
Qian Hongxing asked with some confusion, "Officer Zhou, you should have known about the last time Lailai was kidnapped. It was this guy who came looking for my wife, and that's why Lailai was kidnapped by that Sun Kun."
Zhou Yi nodded: "I know, but I still need to confirm it just to be on the safe side."
Then he asked Yao Yuling: "So this Su Jun is your ex-boyfriend, right?"
"Yeah. But I swear, there's really nothing between him and me. I haven't done anything to let my husband and my family down." Yao Yuling said a little excitedly.
Seeing that she was about to get excited again, Zhou Yi soothed her, "Don't worry, I'm just trying to understand the situation. The more you can remain calm and answer my questions, the more you can help us save your son, understand?"
Yao Yuling nodded continuously with red eyes, holding her husband's arm tightly, but Zhou Yi saw that Qian Hongxing let go of his wife's shoulder.
"When did you and Su Jun meet?"
"He and I were high school classmates, but he didn't finish high school and dropped out in the second semester of his sophomore year."
"So how long have you been dating?"
Yao Yuling looked at Qian Hongxing and said, "He and I...we started dating when we were in high school, but we broke up later. We were on and off for about three or four years."
Zhou Yi understood. It seemed to be a story about a school beauty and a bad boy. This kind of thing was very common in high school. The bad boy's rebellious and cool personality always attracted many beautiful girls.
"Did you know about him being imprisoned for theft in 1988? Were you two still dating at that time?"
"I..." Yao Yuling hesitated, not knowing how to answer for a moment.
At this time, Qian Hongxing spoke up. "Officer Zhou, let me tell you about Su Jun."
Zhou Yi had anticipated Qian Hongxing's reaction; their previous conversation had suggested something was amiss. But Zhou Yi knew full well that the kidnapper was Sun Kun, so he wasn't interested in dwelling on such an old story.
But now it’s different. Su Jun’s fingerprints were found in the shoe box, and the old story that was originally irrelevant became an important clue in the case.
"I'm fifteen years older than Yuling. When I met her, she had just turned twenty, and I was already thirty-five. She was working as an etiquette lady at an event. To be frank, I fell in love with her at first sight because she was so beautiful."
"Oh, I was single at the time. I was a widower. My wife and child died in a car accident."
This surprised Zhou Yi a little, after all, he had some stereotypes before.
"After I met her, I immediately started pursuing her. Yes, she had a boyfriend at the time, that Su Jun, but I never took him seriously. A young man who was idle all day and had no proper job, and had to rely on women to show up in public to make money to support him, how could he compare to me."
"With my fierce pursuit, I successfully poached her, and we soon got together."
Yao Yuling's expression was very embarrassed, even though according to Qian Hongxing, it was Su Jun who had no ambition.
But after all, she was the one who cheated in this matter. Qian Hongxing was widowed and single, so she could naturally hold her head high when talking about this matter. But for her, for a young woman to abandon her boyfriend and marry a wealthy man fifteen years her senior was, in this day and age, something that would easily lead to criticism.
Zhou Yi asked, "So when Su Jun was in prison, he had already broken up with you?"
Yao Yuling nodded.
Zhou Yi asked Qian Hongxing, "Mr. Qian, time is limited, so I'll ask you openly. Is Su Jun's imprisonment related to you?"
Qian Hongxing didn't hesitate for a moment and nodded directly: "Yes, you can say that I planned it all."
