While the police couldn't use torture to extract confessions, Li Shengli wasn't without his own methods. He and a few experienced henchmen spent two hours alone with the two thugs in town, and when they came out, the two confessed everything.
Both men were local petty thugs who were used to petty theft, swindling, and cheating. Around 5 p.m. before the incident, someone approached them and gave them 100,000 yuan, instructing them to ambush a young man riding a motorcycle with license plate number XXXXX on that road that night. Their task was to kill him and cut off his head.
After the deed is done, they will receive another 200,000 yuan and be sent away from L province.
Both were single men with no ties to them, and 300,000 was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for them. Although it was their first time committing murder, money could tempt them, and the two gritted their teeth and decided to do it!
Once they take the money to another province, no one will recognize them. They might even find wives and start families there, which would be much better than being idle and struggling to make ends meet.
Following the trajectory of their previous life, they did indeed succeed; they not only successfully killed someone but also successfully escaped, and were not caught even many years later.
But who could have gotten himself into trouble with Tang Xiaoxiao? Not only did he not get the money, he also ended up in jail.
As for who was behind it all, both of them said they didn't know. Their direct contact was a man of medium build, wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a mask, even his exposed hands were gloved, completely covered up. He was dressed very casually, without any distinctive features.
Even the content of the conversation was on a pre-printed sheet of paper that the person handed them—just ordinary A4 paper. After they finished reading it, the person took it back, leaving no evidence.
They were given 100,000 yuan in cash. The other party asked them to cut off the heads and put them in a black bag, then throw them into a designated trash can at 2 a.m. He would send someone to pick them up, and the 200,000 yuan would also be placed there.
However, they failed and were caught red-handed. Presumably, the other party did not see their head at the agreed location that night, so they naturally did not show up.
After hearing their testimonies, Lee Seung-ri's face turned extremely ugly.
His son, Li Hao, had been studying in Beijing and only returned home this year after graduating. He is now preparing to gradually teach him how to take over the family business.
That night, Li Hao went to the home of his cousin Zhao Qiumin, who lived in Luoxia Town.
This cousin's mother was Li Shengli's aunt, and the two families had always had a good relationship. Later, the cousin married a man named Li Guangyuan, who was also a cousin. After Li Shengli became successful, he helped many of his relatives, and Li Guangyuan even became the general manager of one of his subsidiaries. Over the years, Li Shengli relied heavily on him.
On the afternoon of the day of the incident, Zhao Qiumin called to say that her daughter had returned from out of town and missed Brother Hao very much, and asked Li Hao to come to her house for a casual meal that evening.
Zhao Qiumin's daughter is only a few months younger than Li Hao. The two families live not far apart and the two children have grown up together since they were little. They have a very good relationship. Some people even joked about pairing the two children up, but they are not within the fifth degree of kinship and close relatives cannot marry, so the idea was abandoned.
The two children had always been like siblings. When the younger sister came back and wanted to have a meal with her brother, Li Hao naturally wouldn't refuse. The two towns were close by, but there was a narrow mountain road between them. Li Hao felt that driving was inconvenient, so he set off on a light motorcycle.
