Chapter 216 The Investigation is Over
The case in which Wang Hongna was murdered happened too long ago.
There were no witnesses and physical evidence, and the case was closed based on only a few blurry footprints and Fu Baoguo's alibi which he could not prove himself. It was really sloppy.
It can only be said that it was caused by the backward awareness and regulations of case handling at that time.
However, whether it was a false case or a wrongful conviction actually raises a question mark about Zhou Yi.
What he said to Yu Changshun in the car at that time was partly his own speculation and partly what he had to do in a desperate situation.
In fact, he couldn't prove that Wang Hongna was killed by Hao Qiang, as he had no substantial evidence to prove it.
If Long Zhiqiang hadn't died, perhaps the truth could have been dug out from him.
But now, Hao Qiang, Wang Hongna and Fu Baoguo are all dead. This case is likely to be buried at the bottom of the river forever, just like Wang Hongna's case back then.
Zhou Yi didn't know how to answer Yu Changshun's question.
Suddenly, he suddenly remembered something.
Yu Changshun just said that when Hao Qiang was in junior high school, he secretly wrote many love letters to Wang Hongna, but he didn't dare to send them out and buried them under a tree.
Both Meng Dahai and Huang Song confessed that Long Zhi forced them to write confessions of their crimes.
But they did not find any confession on Long Zhiqiang or on the truck.
Given Long Zhiqiang's personality, it's impossible for him to carry around evidence that could help him control his men, but he also wouldn't be willing to leave these things in another city and take on huge risks of uncertainty.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yi handed Yu Changshun to Jiang Biao, saying that he had important clues to confirm.
Jiang Biao was very surprised. The main culprit Long Zhiqiang had been shot dead, so how could there be any important clues?
Zhou Yi immediately interrogated Meng Dahai and the other two who had just been detained.
Some tiny fragments of information were obtained from the three people.
Huang Song said that when he drove Long Zhiqiang around, he did not go to Sanpo Village, but he had been to Yong'an Township, but he did not remember walking on a dead-end road.
Meng Dahai explained that every time they left the city where they committed the crime, they would separate and lie dormant for a period of time. During this period, Long Zhiqiang didn't give them much money, just enough for them to live on. They would only reunite and divide the money after he confirmed that it was completely safe.
So during this period of time, their information was blocked and they could not contact Long Zhiqiang at all, but Long Zhiqiang could contact them at any time.
Although Hu Ying has been following Long Zhiqiang almost all the time in the past year, she is not always by his side. She doesn't know why Long Zhiqiang wants to keep her so close to him. After all, he can't do those things.
But Zhou Yi looked at the issue from another angle.
At the beginning, Long Zhiqiang regarded Hu Ying as a stand-in for the young Wang Hongna, perhaps because Hu Ying and Wang Hongna looked somewhat similar.
After all, things that are unattainable when young can easily trap a person's heart.
That's why Hu Ying, who came out of a brothel, was dressed up as the "pure Nana".
After Hu Ying burst the bubble, she turned into a woman with tattoos, revealing clothes and big wavy hair, looking like a prostitute at first glance.
Long Zhiqiang also kept her by his side, most likely to "prove" that he was a man.
Everyone wants to save face.
When a middle-aged man is accompanied by a sexy and beautiful woman in her early twenties, people will only think that the woman is the man's canary.
But they would never have thought that this woman is actually a fig leaf for this man.
This is a kind of psychological analysis. Even the most rampant criminals have emotions and desires, as well as psychological motivations that trigger their behavior.
The information provided by Hu Ying was that half a year ago, Long Zhiqiang took her to Taicheng for a trip, but there was actually nothing worth visiting in Taicheng.
She remembered that Long Zhiqiang pulled her up a mountain. She didn't remember which mountain it was. She only remembered that she almost sprained her ankle, so she went down before reaching halfway up the mountain.
Long Zhiqiang climbed up the deserted mountain alone with great interest.
Zhou Yi confirmed that Long Zhiqiang had already scouted the dead-end road in Sanpo Village half a year ago.
In order not to leave any traces, he even deliberately avoided this dead-end road before committing the crime in Hongcheng.
Wu Yongcheng, who had just entered the city, received a call from Zhou Yi, and immediately turned around and rushed back to Sanpo Village.
Because Zhou Yi told him on the phone that Long Zhiqiang might have buried the confessions of all the people involved and the missing money in Hangzhou on the mountain behind Sanpo Village.
Wu Yongcheng led a large group of people and carried shovels up the mountain overnight. For a while, the whole mountain was flickering with flashlights.
After digging for a whole night, the Yanyang Branch moved all the lighting equipment of local government agencies up the mountain.
It was not until four o'clock in the morning that a shout of "Found it" suddenly lifted everyone's depressed spirits.
Wu Yongcheng pushed through the crowd and ran over to take a look. He dug out something wrapped in waterproof tarpaulin from under a tree.
No one dared to move until he arrived, and he immediately said, "Open it!"
Someone untied the rope and found a black backpack, a set of clothes and a hat inside.
Inside the bag was a pistol, ten rounds of ammunition, ten gold bars and 100,000 yuan in cash.
A forged ID card by Long Zhiqiang, confessions of Meng Dahai and others, and records of their home addresses were also found in the interlayer of the backpack.
However, the confession letter from "Hao Qiang" that Zhou Yi was looking for was not found.
However, they did find a faded photo of a woman in a long white dress, clearly many years old. Although the photo was blurry, they could still vaguely make out that the woman in it bore a resemblance to Hu Ying.
Wu Yongcheng turned the photo over and was immediately shocked.
On the back of the photo, two words were densely written in red pen: Go to hell.
That crazy hatred seemed to be overflowing from the paper.
When Zhou Yi put the photo in front of Yu Changshun and asked him to identify it, Yu Changshun nodded vigorously and said that the person in the photo was Wang Hongna, and it was taken before she started working in the factory.
Yu Changshun asked cautiously, "Police... Police, did you find this photo on Qiangzi?"
Zhou Yi didn't say anything, but turned the photo over.
Yu Changshun's scalp suddenly went numb, "This... this... this..."
I said this three times, but nothing came out.
When he saw Wang Hongna's photo, he still had a lucky mentality and thought that the police had made a mistake.
But when the photo was turned over, the truth was obvious.
During Jiang Biao's subsequent interrogation, Yu Changshun also confessed that Long Zhiqiang had asked him about Su Jun.
In his processing plant, the young man who was about 27 or 28 years old was in the same cell with Su Jun before. Both of them were imprisoned for theft, so they got along well when they were in prison.
However, his sentence was not as severe as Su Jun's, and he was released two years earlier.
It was also through an introduction that he joined Yu Changshun's hardware processing factory, which was considered a turning over a new leaf.
After Su Jun came out, he invited Su Jun to dinner, told him about his situation, and also expressed that if Su Jun was willing, he could talk to his fourth brother and let Su Jun go to work in the factory as well.
Su Jun had just escaped from the factory arranged by his family at that time. How could he be willing to endure such hard physical labor, so he declined it directly.
Later, Long Zhiqiang found him and knew that he had come into contact with many released prisoners in Hongcheng, so he asked about Su Jun's whereabouts. Unexpectedly, he met him by chance.
However, he didn't know why Long Zhiqiang was looking for this person, and he didn't ask much.
Because Long Zhiqiang always told him that he was doing a legitimate business.
Yu Changshun’s interrogation has basically ended here, and what awaits him next will be the judgment of the law.
When Wu Yongcheng came back, it was already dawn and he was covered in dust, but he was in high spirits because those confessions were quite strong written evidence.
So far, the investigation of this case has basically been completed.
Director Xie asked Ni Jianrong and Wu Yongcheng to express gratitude to the criminal police brothers from the neighboring city who came to support on behalf of Hongcheng. Ni Jianrong gave a high-sounding speech and everyone applauded.
It was Wu Yongcheng's turn. Without any further ado, he took out the cigarettes that Chen Yan had just bought and handed them out one by one, saying "thank you for your hard work" as he did so.
It feels like a wedding banquet in the countryside.
Finally, a large group of people were smoking in the police hall of the Municipal Bureau, and then they patted each other on the shoulders and said that if there was any problem in the future, everyone should just let them know and take care of each other.
After everyone left, only Ni Jianrong and Wu Yongcheng were left standing at the entrance of the hall.
Just as Ni Jianrong was about to turn and leave, Wu Yongcheng called out, "Team Leader Ni."
Ni Jianrong looked at him warily.
Wu Yongcheng extended a hand and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work."
Ni Jianrong was slightly stunned, looking at Wu Yongcheng's hand hanging in the air, hesitated for a moment, and then stretched out his hand to shake hands with him.
"You too, Deputy Captain Wu."
…
As the heroes who finally killed Long Zhiqiang, Wu Yongcheng gave Zhou Yi and Chen Yan a vacation and let them go back to rest.
Because it is already Tuesday, forty-four hours have passed since Zhou Yi received Qian Hongxing's call.
But Zhou Yi did not go home directly, but went to the hospital.
The good news is that Qian Lailai and Jin Lei have both survived the 24-hour critical period and have been transferred to the general ward.
Zhang Ning stayed by the bedside, not daring to close his eyes for a moment, his eyes bloodshot.
When he and Jin Lei on the hospital bed heard Zhou Yi say that all the kidnappers were arrested, the main culprit was shot dead, and the gun that Director Jin threw into the river was also found, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Qian Lailai's finger has been reattached, but Qian Hongxing said that the doctor indicated that the finger might not be able to move in the future and can only be used as a decoration.
But compared to life, a finger is really nothing.
The couple didn’t know how to thank Zhou Yi, and no words could express their feelings.
Zhou Yi smiled and patted Qian Hongxing's arm, as if everything was said without words.
Zhou Yi walked to the bedside, looked at the sleeping child's pale face, and gently stroked it with his fingers.
The warmth from Qian Lailai's face was transmitted to his fingers, so real.
Zhou Yi couldn't help but smile slightly.
At this moment, no one could understand the joy he was feeling.
