Chapter 464 Hu Dali
Hu Dali, a native of Qingyuan County, Wuguang City, was born in 1966 or 1967 and is 30 years old this year.
Nicknamed Cannon, he has no legitimate job and has been involved in gangs and other illegal social groups for many years. He has a criminal record of theft, fighting, etc.
In the year 2007 of his previous life, 40-year-old Hu Dali was arrested by Zhou Yi in the provincial capital for armed robbery and wounding.
In order to redeem himself for his crime, he took the initiative to confess a person, who was the real murderer of the July 27 shooting case, Liuzi!
The truth of Du Qingming's case was finally revealed 20 years after the incident, and his injustice was redressed.
This is a causal line. If Hu Dali had not been arrested, he would not have given out Liu Zi, who was hiding police guns, and Du Qingming's case would not have been overturned.
But the problem is that Hu Dali met Liuzi two years later, in 1999.
Now Liuzi and Lao Hei, another murderer in the July 27 case, have fled separately and lived in hiding for many years.
Zhou Yi had previously thought about how to overturn the July 27 case. The safest way was to wait until 1999, when Hu Dali met Liuzi. Then he could find Hu Dali and get Liuzi out of him.
As long as the gun is found, the July 27 case will definitely be overturned.
And by that time, if everything goes well, I should be qualified to join the task force to overturn the verdict.
Although it takes two years to wait, this is undoubtedly the safest way.
The premise is that Hu Dali's behavioral trajectory will not be affected by his own butterfly effect.
Compared with Liuzi, Hu Dali was much easier to find, because Liuzi and Laohei were responsible for human deaths, while before the case in 2007, the most serious crime Hu Dali had committed was fighting and injuring someone, for which he was sentenced to six months.
After deciding to come to Wuguang, Zhou Yi also thought about this matter. In case Hu Dali is in Wuguang, he should try his best not to affect him.
After all, he has not yet found a solution to the July 27 incident.
The main reason was that he really couldn't figure out Xie Guoqiang's background. This man was too cunning, and Zhou Yi couldn't see through him at all.
But now that I heard the name Hu Dali from Wu Yuemei, I had to ask further.
Zhou Yi asked her to explain the relationship between her and Hu Dali, and whether Hu Dali had committed any illegal or criminal acts.
If Hu Dali really committed a crime, it would be impossible for him to turn a blind eye and let him continue to go unpunished.
But two years later, he had to use a different method to find Liuzi.
At least Hu Dali had told him the approximate time and city where he met Liuzi.
Wu Yuemei said that she dropped out of school in the first half of the second year of junior high school and then hung out with a group of bad friends for several years.
She had several boyfriends during that period, so going to bed with him became a common thing for her.
But at that time they were all in Wuguang, a group of scoundrels who had nothing to do all day long, occasionally stealing some worthless little things. The biggest mistake they made was to go to the elementary school students near the school and extort them.
Until she met a man nicknamed Loach.
Wu Yuemei said that she still didn't know what Niuqiu's real name was or where he was from, she only knew that he was two years older than her.
When they were dating, Loach was 20 years old and she had just turned 18.
Loach is very generous and much more generous than her ex-boyfriends who went hungry twice a day and would pick up cigarette butts on the ground to smoke.
As a result, he immediately captured her heart.
In the second month of their relationship, Niu Qiu said he wanted to take her out to see the world and make a lot of money.
But after arriving in the big city, she found that things were not what she thought.
Loach not only has her as his "girlfriend", but all of his "girlfriends" are forced to engage in prostitution and entertain customers.
Moreover, Loach is not the boss, but a younger brother who is responsible for deceiving young women who are inexperienced and have poor brains.
So the eighteen-year-old Wu Yuemei was forced to enter this shady industry.
Although she was forced to do this at first, she quickly accepted it because she dropped out of school too early and had a low sense of morality.
They even enjoy doing it because they can make money so quickly.
Soon she was living a life of luxury and extravagance, but of course that was just what she thought since she had never seen the world.
Later, due to the competition for territory and soliciting customers, the illegal organizations on both sides had a violent conflict, and several people died.
Loach was hacked to death on the spot. She heard that it was a very tragic death, with someone cutting his neck and exposing his bones.
Many prostitutes, including her, took advantage of the chaos to escape.
After hiding for a while, she confirmed that the police were not looking for her, so she came out again.
She said that she did work as a waitress in a restaurant, but quit after three days.
The reason is that the work is too hard and tiring. I am ordered around by others and only earn a little bit.
It’s better to go there. If you are quick, you can earn a waiter’s salary of ten days or half a month in just a few minutes.
So she returned to her old ways, only this time completely voluntarily.
In his previous life, Zhou Yi didn't have much contact with prostitutes. Unless there was a major anti-prostitution campaign, the grassroots police stations were mainly responsible for dealing with prostitutes and their clients.
Master Zhang Ning once told him that it was extremely difficult for prostitutes to turn around and get out of poverty.
It's not that society doesn't allow it, it's their own problem.
Because money is so easy to make, they cannot bear the hardships of normal labor. No matter what they do, they will basically return to their old jobs in the end.
And there is another characteristic, that is, very few fallen women will engage in prostitution locally. Basically, they move to other places, most of which are in the south or provincial capitals of other provinces. No one in their hometown knows what they are doing outside, they only know that they make a lot of money.
This is also one of the reasons why there is an illusion of gold everywhere in big cities.
Wu Yuemei confessed that she had worked in bars, hair salons, dance halls, and nightclubs in several cities, avoiding any crackdown on prostitution, as she had no shortage of business opportunities. Of course, she had been punished several times.
However, the place I spend most of my time in is the provincial capital next door.
In the karaoke bar there, he met the owner of a building materials business.
She was 25 at the time, and he was 46. The building materials boss was particularly fond of her and often asked her to perform.
Later, the other party simply proposed to support her, and she realized that this might be an opportunity for her to turn things around, so she gladly accepted it.
The building materials boss rented a house for her, supported her, gave her a sum of money every month, and then visited her for a few days every once in a while.
She fantasized that one day she could become the mistress and become a wealthy wife, living a life of luxury.
But rich people are not stupid. They just spend a little money to play with it from the beginning, and then kick it away when they get tired of it.
Indeed, she had been with the boss for a little over a year when she started to act up, hoping to get a permanent job. This led to the boss's increasingly cold attitude towards her, to the point where he hadn't come to work for over a month.
And she is still unaware of it, thinking that the man is a scumbag and has gotten tired of her and then abandoned her.
So she thought of revenge.
The person who helped her carry out revenge was Hu Dali, nicknamed Cannon.
Wu Yuemei and Hu Dali hooked up in a dance hall. Since she was kept by someone, she has been very idle.
The building materials boss was not a local and was not in the area most of the time, so she had a lot of free time.
She didn't know how to play mahjong, saying it was too tiring to learn, so she went to the dance hall.
There, she met Hu Dali, who was seven years younger than her. It was easy for sparks to fly between them while dancing, and they were also from the same hometown.
Then, she used the money she earned from being kept to support a gigolo.
She also talked about the origin of Hu Dali's nickname "Cannon", and said that if it weren't for the size of his thing, she would never have liked him just because of his looks.
Wang Tao felt embarrassed when he heard this, but Zhou Yi didn't care at all and just warned her not to say those useless things.
When she told Hu Dali about her dissatisfaction with the old man in bed, Hu Dali immediately said that he could help her vent her anger.
Finally, the two of them discussed and decided to kidnap the building materials boss and extort money from him.
After hearing what Wu Yuemei said, Wang Tao was so excited that he almost stood up.
Because this involves a kidnapping case.
Fortunately, Wu Yuemei didn't notice that Zhou Yi calmly lowered his hand, signaling him not to alert the enemy.
Wu Yuemei was indeed not smart. She kept talking and had no idea how serious the problem was.
But this also means that Hu Dali must be arrested.
The safest path for the July 27 incident is gone.
Zhou Yi now only regretted that in his previous life he had asked Hu Dali about every detail of how he knew Liuzi.
Wu Yuemei said that according to Hu Dali's plan, she called the building materials boss and coaxed him over in a gentle voice.
After a while, when the person arrived, she put medicine in the wine that Hu Dali got from somewhere.
After the man was drugged, Hu Dali came in and kidnapped him.
"Wait, when you said he kidnapped someone, did you mean he did it alone, or did you kidnap him with him? And where did they kidnap him?" Zhou Yi asked after hearing this.
"He's not alone, he also found a helper," said Wu Yuemei.
"Who is it?"
Wu Yuemei shook her head. "I haven't seen him. He just said he was a friend. He told me to just knock him out and he would take care of the rest. Otherwise, Boss Huang would know I was involved in the kidnapping and extortion, and he would be exposed once he called the police."
As soon as Zhou Yi heard it, he knew that this stupid woman was probably being used as a gun by Hu Dali. She was drinking at your place and was tied up the next moment. How could he not suspect you?
But she is safe and sound now and has not been arrested, which can only mean one thing.
Mr. Huang, the boss who works in building materials, is probably just a bystander now.
As the old saying goes, adultery has always resulted in death.
However, the crime occurred in the capital of the neighboring province, and Zhou Yi did not have access to the case files in his previous life, so he was not clear about the situation.
Judging from the current situation, Wu Yuemei probably doesn't know about it, otherwise she wouldn't have spoken out so openly.
However, not knowing that Boss Huang is dead does not mean that she is not guilty. It is an objective fact that she participated in kidnapping and extortion and caused someone's death.
She is an accomplice, but she has in fact assisted in controlling the kidnapped person. Even if she did not participate in the murder, the sentence will start from ten years.
Once the two cases are merged, my life is basically over.
"What did Hu Dali do after he kidnapped the person?"
"It requires money."
"How much do you want? Why do you want it?"
"He planned to ask for 30,000 yuan, then give me 20,000 and keep 10,000. As for how to ask him, he told me to leave it alone, saying it would be bad for me to know too much."
According to Wu Yuemei's account, this incident happened ten years ago, in 1987. At that time, the average annual salary of ordinary people was only more than 1,000 yuan. A household with an annual salary of 10,000 yuan was still a synonym for a wealthy person, and 30,000 yuan was obviously an astronomical figure.
"So how much money did you actually get in the end?" Zhou Yi knew that Hu Dali couldn't possibly give her that much.
Wu Yuemei stretched out her hand and said, "Five hundred."
Wang Tao was shocked. He only gave 500 yuan for 30,000 yuan. Isn’t the gap too big?
"It's just 500 yuan, don't you have any doubts?" Zhou Yi asked. This number was indeed beyond his expectations. This Hu Dali is really a black man.
Wu Yuemei said: "After he kidnapped the man, I waited at home. It was not until the third night that Hu Dali suddenly came to see me and said that Huang didn't bring much money with him this time."
"I originally wanted to call his family and ask them to send some money, but Huang said his wife had a very bad temper and was a tigress. If they called to ask for money, she would not only refuse to give it but would also call the police."
"So he didn't dare. He said they finally beat up Mr. Huang, found 2,600 yuan on him, and then released him, warning him not to come back."
Zhou Yi was speechless. This woman was so stupid and evil that she actually believed such nonsense.
"He robbed you of 2,600, so why did he only give you 500? According to what he said before, shouldn't he give you the majority?" Zhou Yi asked.
"Yeah, I was dumbfounded at the time and didn't react. It took me several days to think about it, but by then that bastard Hu Dali had already disappeared. He said we had to separate and hide for safety, and then I couldn't find him."
Zhou Yi didn't intend to tell her now what consequences she would face for taking the 500 yuan.
Otherwise, she might get upset and stop cooperating.
And he knew that Hu Dali would appear later because this alone was not enough to reach the level she said she had fallen to.
"Go on."
Wu Yuemei said that she hid in fear for several months, afraid that Boss Huang would cause trouble for her and that the police would arrest her.
In the end, he was really out of money, so he had to go back to his old job.
However, as she got older, business naturally became less easy to do than when she was young. In addition, the fact that Boss Huang had failed to achieve anything made her temper even worse, so she had a hard time in the following years.
She blamed all the mistakes on Hu Dali, and she hated him so much that her teeth itched whenever she thought of him.
After saving money for a few more years, she saw that she was about to turn 30 and thought that if she didn't get married, she would be in trouble in the future, so she took her savings and went home to go on blind dates.
But her family introduced her to many blind dates, but she didn't like any of them, complaining about this and that.
Until one blind date, she unexpectedly met the man she would recognize even if he turned into ashes, Hu Dali.
She immediately wanted to settle the score with Hu Dali, believing that Hu Dali must have gotten a lot of money from Boss Huang, and wanted him to return her what he deserved.
Otherwise she would call the police. She only took 500 yuan anyway, so at worst she could return the money to Boss Huang.
Then Hu Dali said angrily, if you have the guts, go call the police. Anyway, Boss Huang is dead, and no one can escape responsibility.
These words scared her, and she asked Hu Dali what was going on and why he killed people.
Hu Dali explained that he did not kill the man, but that the man died inexplicably during the beating, which was why he did not get the money.
Only more than 2,600 yuan was found on Boss Huang.
Hu Dali said that the friend he called for help was so scared that he wanted to turn himself in. In order to prevent him from turning himself in, Hu Dali had no choice but to give the other party the bulk of the 2,000 yuan to bribe him.
Of the remaining six hundred or so, he gave five hundred to Wu Yuemei and took a little over one hundred for his own travel expenses.
"Hu Dali said at the time that if I wanted to call the police, I could just go ahead and report it. We would die together. Anyway, it was me who drugged Boss Huang, so I am also responsible..." As Wu Yuemei spoke, her speech became slower and slower, because she suddenly realized that she shouldn't say these things.
But it was too late.
When she looked up, she found Zhou Yi looking at her with a smile, which made her feel scared all over.
"Wu Yuemei, Hu Dali didn't lie to you. If Boss Huang really died, you would be an accomplice and would be held legally responsible."
Wu Yuemei turned pale with fear when she heard this. "But...but I didn't mean to kill him, and Hu Dali didn't say anyone would die at the beginning. I really didn't know, I really..."
"Alright, you're just afraid of taking responsibility, not regretting what you've done. Stop pretending to be pitiful in front of us. We'll verify whether Mr. Huang is dead or not. But you'd better pray that he's not dead, otherwise you'll be committing a serious crime."
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, Wu Yuemei burst into tears, crying so sadly.
So these criminals are just a bunch of selfish beasts. They were not that sad when their own son died, but they became scared when the knife was about to fall on their own heads.
"Why are you crying? Keep telling your story!" Zhou Yi slammed the table and scolded.
In fact, Zhou Yi didn't believe Hu Dali's words at all. Because he had personally interrogated this guy in his previous life, he knew how cunning he was. Before he confessed the matter of Liuzi, he had done a lot of preparation and had been trying to bargain before he confessed the matter of Liuzi.
He actually had an old case on his hands, but he never mentioned it.
Only someone as brainless as Wu Yuemei would believe him.
Sure enough, Wu Yuemei said that she was frightened. Not only did she no longer hate Hu Dali, but she also felt that he was loyal and righteous, because he only took more than 100 yuan out of the 2,600 yuan.
So, the two hooked up again.
After learning that Wu Yuemei was on a blind date, Hu Dali vowed to marry her.
Wu Yuemei gritted her teeth and said that she was too naive and believed the words of this bastard again.
Because in the next few months, Hu Dali used his friends' connections to make a lot of money through investment to cheat Wu Yuemei out of all her savings and then disappeared.
In other words, Wu Yuemei sold herself for ten years starting at the age of eighteen, but in the end, she lost everything.
That's why I met Yao Xi on a blind date when I was 32 years old.
"I hate him so much, I wish I could cut him into pieces!" Wu Yuemei cursed.
"That's not right. If you hate him so much, then why did you say that Yao Huanhuan might be his son? If you think back to the time you gave birth to Yao Huanhuan, you became pregnant after you and Yao Xi got married."
Given Wu Yuemei's temperament, it was impossible for her to have a relationship with Yao Xi, whom she despised, before marriage.
Faced with this question, Wu Yuemei immediately became dispirited. She said somewhat awkwardly, "After we got married, Yao Xi's thing was too small and uncomfortable. Then I met Hu Dali again and couldn't help myself... so..."
Zhou Yi has no interest in such dirty things.
"So this time, how did Hu Dali explain the money scam to you?"
"He said he didn't lose any money, but that he had committed some crime at the time and you police wanted to arrest him, so he had no choice but to run. He then gave me 3,000 yuan, saying it was dividends from his investments over the past two years."
Zhou Yi knew that something was about to happen.
"You didn't believe his lies and then gave him the money, did you?"
Wu Yuemei nodded. "I gave him the three thousand, plus the eight thousand eight hundred the Yao family gave me as a betrothal gift. Then he disappeared again. The following month, I missed my period, and then I found out I was pregnant."
This was the first time Zhou Yi had seen such a stupid person. Falling into the same ditch three times was also unprecedented.
"Have you seen Hu Dali since then?"
Wu Yuemei shook her head, so it was impossible to determine where Hu Dali was at the moment.
"So you hated Hu Dali for cheating you time and time again and taking away all your money, and then suspected that Yao Huanhuan might be his child, so you transferred your hatred for Hu Dali to Yao Huanhuan? Is that right? Or is there another reason?" Zhou Yi asked.
Logically speaking, things should be clear at this point.
However, when Wu Yuemei heard Zhou Yi's question, she hesitated instinctively.
She is not a smart person, so her abnormal reactions are easy to catch.
After hesitating for a moment, she nodded.
But every subtle reaction of hers in those one or two seconds was captured by Zhou Yi.
Her nostrils flared slightly before she nodded.
This is a micro-expression reaction of fear and wanting to escape.
"Scared? Shouldn't she be hating Hu Dali? Why would she be scared?"
Zhou Yi suddenly had an idea.
He knows the truth!
