Chapter 113 Henpecked
Before the reform and opening up, Huancheng was just a small fishing village.
Huang Zhongliang was born into a large family. His father had seven brothers and sisters, his mother had eight brothers and sisters, and his parents had six children in total. Huang Zhongliang was the second oldest. If we include his cousins, there are fifty or sixty of Huang Zhongliang's generation.
Among so many brothers and sisters of the same generation, Huang Zhongliang was small and ugly, and was not favored by his elders, who thought that when he could read a little, recognize a few words, and have the strength to cast a net, he could follow his parents to fish and support himself.
Unexpectedly, it was Huang Zhongliang, the least promising person, who left the small fishing village and, with the help of the reform and opening-up policy, became a famous local entrepreneur.
While Xia Mufan and others were checking the information, Fan Yangping stepped forward and wanted to interact with Xue Gao.
However, after Xia Mufan's "urgent training" along the way, Xuegao felt that he was a qualified police dog and had strong self-control. After drinking the water, he looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and sat upright next to Xia Mufan. No matter how Fan Yangping teased him, he remained indifferent, with a solemn expression as if he could remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
Fan Yangping looked at it and felt more and more itchy. Just as he was about to go forward and touch Xue Gao's head, Xia Mufan raised his eyes and glanced at him. Fan Yangping withdrew his hand somewhat embarrassedly, and then he thought of the main business: "Officer Xia, Huang Zhongliang may not be known to anyone in your place, but he is quite famous in our area. Not only is he rich, he also does charity. Hualiang Primary School was built with his donation."
Xia Mufan glanced at the information in his hand: "Hualiang Primary School? Liang is taken from Huang Zhongliang's name, what about Hua?"
Fan Yangping said: "Huang Zhongliang's wife is called Mo Yuhua."
Gong Weiguo was immediately interested when he heard this: "Mo Yuhua's name was actually placed before Huang Zhongliang's? Is the status of women so high here?"
Yes, this is the old idea passed down from China's feudal era. The husband is the head of the wife, with the husband in front and the wife behind. How come Huang Zhongliang's family actually raised Mo Yuhua's status to such a high level?
When Fan Yangping heard what they said, his curiosity was burning in his heart. Huang Zhongliang was already a celebrity in Huancheng, and his family had always been the focus of everyone's attention. As a native of Huancheng, it was normal for Fan Yangping to know some gossip.
These gossips are usually not written into formal texts.
"Speaking of Mo Yuhua, he is also a legendary figure."
"She is the daughter of a butcher. She is very strong, sturdy, and has a bad temper. No one dares to offend her, let alone propose to her. But she is the only daughter in the family, with three older brothers. Her parents and brothers love her very much and are not in a hurry to marry her off. They let her stay at home and be a girl."
"I don't know how, but Mo Yuhua fell in love with Huang Zhongliang. At that time, Huancheng had not yet been established as a city. Huang Zhongliang worked in the town. He was skinny and rustic. Mo Yuhua's family looked down on him anyway, but Mo Yuhua was determined to marry him. The Mo family couldn't persuade their daughter, so they gave her a lot of dowry and let the couple settle down in the town."
"After Huang Zhongliang married Mo Yuhua, he suddenly became smart and made money in every business he did. He started out selling electronic products, buying them from Shenzhen and selling them in town. After Huancheng was established, he found that labor was cheap, so he learned from Taiwanese businessmen and opened an electronics factory in Huancheng and a store in Yangcheng."
"Don't underestimate us because Huancheng was a humble fishing village. But because it is close to Shenzhen and Guangzhou and has convenient transportation, many wealthy people emerged in Huancheng in the 1980s when the business boom came. Huang Zhongliang is steady, accurate, and ruthless in business. He opened three large factories in Huancheng, from electronics factories to clothing factories and food factories, and more than a dozen stores. Their products are sold in shopping malls and supermarkets across the country. I don't know how much money his family has."
"However, Huang Zhongliang is henpecked. Huang Zhongliang is the one who does business, but Mo Yuhua has always been the one who manages the money. In the beginning, the money for Huang Zhongliang's business was provided by her family, and Mo Yuhua was the one who worked hard with him through hard times, so Huang Zhongliang has always been grateful to her and listens to her in everything. Many women in Huancheng envy Mo Yuhua, saying that she has a keen eye for heroes and is a lucky woman."
Hearing this, Feng Xiaoyu curled her lips.
gratitude? Do you listen to her in everything? I'm afraid these are all false appearances? Huang Zhongliang already has a mistress in Hui City and they have a son. How can he be henpecked?
Feng Xiaoyu couldn't help but interrupt him: "Is Mo Yuhua really lucky?"
Fan Yangping sighed, "As for marriage, it's like drinking water. Only the person who drinks it knows whether it's hot or cold. Mo Yuhua was born in a butcher's family. She has never lacked oil and water since she was a child. Many people starved to death during the difficult times, but she had a belly full of meat and fish. I don't know how many people envy her. Is this a good life? She married Huang Zhongliang, who was two years younger than her. The couple's business grew bigger and bigger. They drove luxury cars and lived in villas. When they attended cocktail parties together, she went first and Huang Zhongliang went last. They had a high status in the family. Is this a good life? If there is a regret, it is that they only have one daughter. When Mo Yuhua was pregnant with her second child, it was when the factory was being built. She watched the construction site every day, fell down, and had a miscarriage. From then on, she could not have another child."
What Xia Mufan is concerned about now is who the two killers were who killed Bai Jiaying and whether Huang Zhongliang brought Ruirui back. As for whether Mo Yuhua was a lucky woman, Xia Mufan felt it was not important.
Xia Mufan asked: "If Mo Yuhua is the one who manages the money, then where does Huang Zhongliang get the money to support his mistress?"
Fan Yangping smiled: "Men always hide some private money. Mo Yuhua manages the company's accounts, but Huang Zhongliang is busy outside, so he must have money on him. A big boss like him must have a lot of public relations expenses, so it's not difficult for him to slip tens of thousands of yuan every month."
Yes, Huang Zhongliang gives Bai Jiaying 5,000 yuan per month for living expenses, and Bai Jiaying sends 1,000 yuan home every month.
One thousand yuan is enough for Bai Jiaying's parents to save up slowly to build a house and marry a wife.
Five thousand yuan is enough for Bai Jiaying to live a prosperous life in Hui City, a not-so-prosperous city.
However, for a big boss like Huang Zhongliang who has companies and stores all over the country, the five thousand yuan is just a little pocket money that slipped through his fingers.
Xia Mufan hesitated for a moment: "Buying a house, settling down, having children, all these require money, and the amount is not small. Could it be that Mo Yuhua really doesn't know anything about this?"
Buying a house, decorating it, and having a baby would cost at least 100,000 yuan. Such a huge sum of money would definitely alarm Mo Yuhua. If Mo Yuhua can't tolerate any grain of sand in her eyes, then she is also a suspect in the crime.
Previously, Xia Mufan had always focused his attention on Huang Zhongliang, but after listening to Fan Yangping's introduction, he began to become interested in Mo Yuhua.
What kind of woman can have her name listed before her husband's?
Sun Xianbing said at the side: "I think Huang Zhongliang is really henpecked."
Feng Xiaoyu was a little unconvinced: "Why? He has already found a woman outside to have a child, but he is still henpecked?"
Sun Xianbing said, "I have always been wondering why Huang Zhongliang wanted to settle Bai Jiaying in Hui City, since Hui City is neither a big city with a developed economy nor a tourist city with beautiful scenery, nor is it Bai Jiaying's hometown. Now after hearing what Officer Fan said, I think I understand."
Everyone looked at Sun Xianbing and listened to his continued analysis.
Sun Xianbing continued, "Huang Zhongliang is obviously hiding from Mo Yuhua. He found a woman, but he was afraid that his wife would find out, so he thought of hiding Bai Jiaying in a place where Mo Yuhua couldn't find her. Hui City is more than 800 kilometers away from Huancheng, and it's not a big station, so the price level is relatively low. Buying a house in Hui City, firstly, the house price is relatively cheap, and it doesn't cost much, 5,000 yuan can support a family. Secondly, Hui City's economy and transportation are not well developed, so you won't run into acquaintances."
Feng Xiaoyu nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Don't tell me, Huang Zhongliang really put a lot of thought into hiding Bai Jiaying. It seems that he is really afraid of his wife."
But Gong Weiguo had a different opinion: "He is not necessarily hiding from Mo Yuhua. It is possible that this guy had bad intentions from the beginning and planned to kill the mother and keep the child, so he tried every means to cover up his tracks, for fear that his existence would be discovered. He was away when Bai Jiaying gave birth to the child, and he only visited her a few times a year. He never used a mobile phone to call Bai Jiaying's home phone to contact her. If he hadn't used the hotel phone before taking action this time, we really wouldn't have been able to find him."
This reason also makes sense.
Fan Yangping said: "No matter why he is hiding from people, he is not a good person anyway. The Mo family has been very kind to him, and Mo Yuhua is his wife who has been through hardships with him, but he betrayed her and had a mistress outside. Now he has caused a death, which is shameful!"
Gong Weiguo gave Fan Yangping a thumbs up and said, "Officer Fan is a man of character."
Fan Yangping smiled cheerfully: "Since you are all younger than me, you can just call me Old Fan. Now that we have finished reading the information, what are you going to do next? Do you want to summon Huang Zhongliang?"
Xia Mufan frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head: "No, we won't alert Huang Zhongliang for now. Let's first find out Huang Zhongliang's social connections, and then arrest him when we find solid evidence."
Regardless of whether the main culprit is Huang Zhongliang or Mo Yuhua, they are husband and wife, one body, and their interests are closely bound together. Once either of them is alarmed, the two will form an alliance and quickly deal with all the evidence, and by then nothing may be found out.
Even if Huang Zhongliang admitted that he had been to Hui City at the time of the incident, how could he prove that he had killed Bai Jiaying?
He hired someone to kill, not did it himself, so he would have sufficient alibi.
Having a motive to kill does not necessarily mean that the person will kill.
Ruirui has been taken away by someone. Huang Zhongliang might be able to turn the tables and say that Bai Jiaying was not a good wife and had given birth to a son with someone else, and that she deserved to be killed by a wild man.
If the main culprit was Mo Yuhua, as long as the police summoned Huang Zhongliang, she could immediately take drastic measures and put all the blame on Huang Zhongliang.
Once Huang Zhongliang goes to prison, the company, factory, money... everything will belong to her and her daughter. Isn't this kind of revenge perfect?
A woman's hatred can sometimes be more unforgettable than love.
The Seventh Serious Crime Unit always listened to Xia Mufan. Gong Weiguo asked, "So, what should we do now?"
Xia Mushi stood up, bent down and took the rope around Xue Gao's neck, and smiled slightly: "Find a place to live and walk the dog every day."
Walking the dog? There was confusion in everyone's eyes.
Only the ice cream stuck out his tongue happily.
