Chapter 355: All Villains
So far, the case has been just as Zhou Yi had predicted.
All villains!
He originally hoped that the little girl Lele's father Yang Jian might be innocent.
After all, a person who is good to his wife and children will give others a certain filter.
Unfortunately, the filter is broken.
Although using the account book to blackmail Zheng Guangming was a crime, it was not a capital crime after all.
But the problem is that criminals will not reason with you, nor will they judge whether you deserve to die.
This is why it is said that a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall.
And from Zheng Guangming's perspective, Yang Jian was really asking for trouble and was almost afraid that Zheng Guangming would let him go.
As for Fan Zhongliang's claim that he was forced by Zheng Guangming to stab Yang Jian to death, it is actually not important because the fact of murder has been established.
Moreover, Zhou Yi believed what he said about the murder weapon being taken away by Zheng Guangming, because this behavior was logically consistent with Zheng Guangming forcing him to kill Yang Jian with a dagger.
Zheng Guangming must have wanted to use the fingerprints on the murder weapon to warn, intimidate and threaten Fan Zhongliang, so that he would obey him and have ulterior motives.
So the rope and the dagger must have been hidden by Zheng Guangming.
I have to tell Pan Hongjie later and ask them to search for this key evidence.
After killing the person, they put the body in the car. This car was not under the name of Zheng Guangming, but was driven by Fan Zhongliang himself. Of course, the source of funds was illegal income.
Then the next day, which was January 29th, Zheng Guangming first personally called the person in charge of the chicken farm, Lao Meng, and asked him to poison a batch of chickens to death. His purpose was to arrange for his subordinates to take the chickens to the crematorium and burn them, leaving a record.
That morning, Fan Zhongliang used the key given by Zheng Guangming to go to the office of the lady who issued the bills, stole a bill, wrote the date on it and stamped it.
Fan Zhongliang said that this older sister had a habit of writing the contents of the list in advance, and when she needed to use it, she would just fill in the date and stamp it, in order to save trouble.
It happened that this was the loophole they could exploit.
Because Zheng Guangming is the sole boss of the company, all the spare keys are kept in his office.
Their purpose, of course, is to take advantage of the opportunity to confuse the public and conceal the truth.
Every six months, the city's relevant departments would verify the incineration batches with each company using their invoices. If the batches exceeded a certain number, additional fees would be charged. At that time, two identical invoices could be denied as accidental double-issues. After all, both the woman who issued the invoices and Li Tiewang, who was responsible for transporting the incineration, would deny the existence of a double incineration.
It’s a pity that reality did not give them this opportunity.
As for why we chose the chicken farm where Yang Jian works, there are two reasons.
First, Lao Meng, the person in charge of Chicken Farm No. 5, had just been investigated for his accounting. The key point was that he did have some dirty tricks, but Zheng Guangming had let him off this time because of the account book issue. Therefore, he was obedient and followed orders. Even if he had questions about Zheng Guangming's orders, he didn't dare to say anything or ask anything.
Second, the night before, after killing Yang Jian, the two men put the body into a bag and hid it in the trunk of Fan Zhongliang's car.
The car was not parked too far away, just near Chicken Farm No. 5.
What Zheng Guangming meant was that the longer the night, the more trouble one might have. If something unexpected happened when the car was driven back to the city and the situation was exposed, all the efforts would be wasted.
So on the evening of the 29th, Fan Zhongliang drove a small truck to the chicken farm, loaded the dead chickens, drove the truck near his own car, then moved the bodies from the trunk to the small truck, covered the bags containing the bodies with the dead chickens, and transported them to the crematorium to be burned.
Since the old man at the crematorium was in a hurry to go home and watch TV, he left first, which gave him plenty of time to deal with the bones that could not be burned cleanly.
After the burning was complete, he used an iron hook he had prepared in advance to hook out the broken bones, then smashed them with a hammer and put them in a bag and took them away.
Zhou Yi was surprised as to how these bones were finally dealt with.
He said the broken bones were eventually taken to a chicken farm and ground up in a feed mixer mixed with chicken feed.
Poor Yang Jian, he repaired machines when he was alive, and after his death he was crushed to ashes by the machines.
Zhou Yixin thought, I have to eat less chicken in the future.
Fan Zhongliang said that he was almost exhausted to death doing this alone.
However, Zheng Guangming found an excuse not to show up, which made him very angry, but he dared not say anything.
He said that it was at that time that he began to think of killing Zheng Guangming.
It is both to vent dissatisfaction and for self-protection.
Because Zheng Guangming's methods in dealing with Yang Jian were so cruel, he realized that his situation was actually no different from Yang Jian's. It was just that Zheng Guangming still needed him to work, so he didn't kill him.
If one day Zheng Guangming feels that he is no longer needed, he will definitely be killed to silence him because he knows so many things.
So, after much consideration, Fan Zhongliang decided to strike first and get rid of Zheng Guangming.
But he didn't plan to do it himself because he was afraid of being suspected and he needed to create a sufficient alibi.
So I thought of hiring someone to kill someone.
But killing someone is not like buying groceries. You can't just go out on the street and ask, "Excuse me, can you kill someone for me? I'll pay you."
After much thought, he finally came up with a suitable candidate, Fu Daqing.
There are three reasons.
First, Fu Daqing is from another place. After his business failed, he never came to Anyuan again and never contacted his friends here again. He felt that the risk was small enough and no matter how suspicious the police were, they would not suspect Fu Daqing.
Second, Fu Daqing was broke. He had heard about the incident from Ding Wenyuan and knew that Fu Daqing had nearly lost everything. Although five years had passed and it was unknown whether he had recovered, it was at least possible that he was short of money.
Third, Fu Daqing, after drinking too much at a party, said that he had been involved in a gang in his early years and had fought three people alone, leaving two of them seriously injured and hospitalized. Therefore, he felt that Fu Daqing was not brave enough and would definitely dare to kill people.
Zhou Yi remained noncommittal about the first two points, but he felt that the third point might not be what Fan Zhongliang thought.
They checked Fu Daqing's criminal record and found that Fu Daqing had no criminal record, not even a detention.
The so-called gang membership and one-on-three battles were most likely just random boasting after drinking too much at the table. However, more than five years later, Fan Zhongliang took it seriously.
So he found the phone number that Fu Daqing had left and called it, but to his surprise, it was an invalid number.
Because that was not Fu Daqing's home number, but his previous business number, which had been cancelled long ago.
I thought I had lost contact with Fu Daqing, but fate began to play tricks on me.
When he was putting the notebook with Fu Daqing's contact number back into the drawer, he accidentally used too much force and pulled the entire drawer out.
When I put it back in, I felt something inside. I looked and saw it was an envelope with an invoice inside.
The sender was Fu Daqing, and the shipping address was Fu Daqing's home.
Fan Zhongliang was in a daze for a moment, then he remembered that there was an invoice that Fu Daqing had sent to him, but it disappeared inexplicably. He couldn't find it no matter how hard he looked. In the end, he had to ask Fu Daqing to issue a new one and send it to him.
This is the one in the envelope. It seems that I threw it into the drawer casually. Because there were many things in the drawer, the envelope accidentally slipped into the gap on the side of the drawer and I couldn't find it.
He looked at the address on the envelope and felt that this was God's will, and God also agreed with him killing Zheng Guangming.
So, in early February, a few days before the Chinese New Year, he found an excuse and took a few days off.
I told the company that there was something going on at home, and told my family that the company was going on a business trip, and then I got on the train to Hongcheng.
Finally, he knocked on Fu Daqing's door according to the address on the envelope.
Fan Zhongliang said that when Fu Daqing opened the door, Fu Daqing was very surprised, while Fan Zhongliang was relieved.
He said that he could see that Fu Daqing was living a very difficult life and was completely different from the high-spirited Gua Ge he used to be.
However, Fu Daqing was still quite enthusiastic about his sudden visit and was eager to treat him to dinner and drinks.
But Fan Zhongliang insisted on eating at home and even took the initiative to buy a bunch of cooked food and beer, because what he wanted to say was not suitable to be said outside.
After three rounds of drinks, Fu Daqing was filled with melancholy and mixed emotions. He began to complain to his old friend about how miserable his life had been after being cheated and how much he hated that guy named Jiang Shun.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Fan Zhongliang sighed and began his performance.
He did not tell Fu Daqing the truth that he wanted to kill Zheng Guangming, or it could be said that he had no intention of telling the truth at all.
Even if he was hiring someone to kill someone, he would find some legitimate reasons.
He said with tears in his eyes, "Brother Gua, although your wife divorced you, at least she didn't do anything to let you down. Unlike me, I had to endure being cuckolded."
Fu Daqing was startled by this and asked him what was going on.
Then Fan Zhongliang vividly described to him how his wife Chen Ting had wronged him by having an affair. The key point was that the adulterer was his boss, Zheng Guangming.
He also said that his parents were seriously ill and he had to support his daughter who was in high school, so his life was very difficult and miserable.
For the sake of his family, he could only swallow his anger, but which man could tolerate such a thing!
With his sweet words, Fu Daqing was filled with righteous indignation.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Fan Zhongliang cried and said that he came here today to ask him for a favor.
Fu Daqing patted his chest and said that although he was down and out, he would still help his brothers if they were in trouble.
So Fan Zhongliang said: He wanted to ask Fu Daqing to help him kill his boss.
This one sentence made Fu Daqing shudder and sober up instantly.
Fan Zhongliang quickly added: He was willing to take out all his savings, which was 30,000 yuan, as a thank you gift, and only asked Fu Daqing to help him get justice.
Fan Zhongliang said that after he proposed 30,000 yuan, Fu Daqing had an obvious reaction, and he knew that the other party was moved.
So, they struck while the iron was hot and flattered Fu Daqing, praising him. Then they said that he had not been to Anyuan for several years and no one would think that he was the murderer.
He doesn't need to stay in a hotel when he goes to Anyuan. He will rent a house for a short period of time in advance so that his whereabouts will not be exposed.
By then, no one would think of him.
In the end, Fu Daqing was persuaded by him and agreed to help him kill Zheng Guangming.
To show his sincerity, Fan Zhongliang immediately took out two thousand yuan that he had prepared in advance and gave it to Fu Daqing, saying that the Chinese New Year was coming soon, so he should have a good New Year first and talk about it after the New Year.
Fu Daqing was deeply moved by this money and swore that he would seek justice for Fan Zhongliang!
