Chapter 117 Huang Zhongliang
"Closing the net? Can we close the net now?" Feng Xiaoyu asked puzzledly, "The evidence we have now can only prove that Huang Zhongliang and Mo Yuhua have a motive for murder, but it cannot prove that the Mo brothers were involved. Isn't it a little early to close the net now?"
The others nodded as well.
Bai Jiaying's son Ruirui is in Huang Bozhong's hands, and Huang Yongkang's son is Huang Zhongliang's. Even if these two pieces of evidence are placed in front of the Mo family, they can deny everything. Does having a motive for murder mean that one must kill? Where are the witnesses? Where is the physical evidence? Where is the murder weapon?
Xia Mufan smiled slightly, confident: "I just received news that there is a new clue in Hui City."
"What new clues?" Everyone became interested when they heard Xia Mufan say this and urged her to speak quickly.
Xia Mufan said: "After Xuegao discovered that the murderer was Boss Mo, I reported it to Captain Yue. Boss Mo traveled more than 800 kilometers from Huancheng to Hui City, and more than 1,600 kilometers round trip. It is impossible for him not to leave any traces during this long journey."
Yu Jing nodded: "Indeed. We drove from Hui City to Huancheng this time. We had to refuel and stay overnight. The workers at the gas station, small hotels and restaurants along the way must have noticed us. We can find out this through investigation."
Xia Mufan said, "Yes, a wild goose leaves a trace when it passes by. Boss Mo traveled thousands of miles and brought a baby with him when he returned. He is a bigger target. Huancheng and Hui City are not big stations. There is no airport and you can't go directly. If you choose public transportation, you have to go through Yangcheng and Xing City. Not only is it troublesome, but it is also too eye-catching. So we judge that Boss Mo and his group are most likely traveling by car like us. The journey takes five or six days to go back and forth. As long as we are determined to investigate, we will definitely be able to find witnesses."
Gong Weiguo clicked his tongue twice: "These three brothers are really ruthless. Wouldn't it be nice to just drink some wine and eat stewed meat in Huancheng leisurely? Why do they have to drive such a long way by themselves?"
At this moment, everyone resonated with Gong Weiguo.
Yes, if you can't just live a good life as a rich man, why do you have to go all the way to the tiny Hui City to kill people and steal children? What benefits does this bring to the Mo brothers?
Feng Xiaoyu couldn't help but spit, "Why do they always bully women? If they have the guts, they should just kill Huang Zhongliang, the instigator. It's Huang Zhongliang who cheated on Mo Yuhua, it's Huang Zhongliang who betrayed Mo Yuhua, and it's Huang Zhongliang who had the child with another woman. Why don't they just kill the people and take the property? It's better to get rid of it once and for all, isn't it?"
Xia Mufan was also confused about this.
However, there is no time to explore the motives of their actions now. What is more important is how to find solid evidence and bring all the evildoers to justice.
Seeing Feng Xiaoyu interrupted, Sun Xianbing quickly brought the topic back: "Where are the new clues? Have you found any witnesses?"
"Yes, there is a witness! Moreover, this witness jumped out on his own initiative." Xia Mufan's lips curled up into a smile.
Sun Xianbing and Gong Weiguo were quick to react and impatient. They became even more curious when they heard what Xia Mufan said. They stared at Xia Mufan with wide eyes, waiting for her to continue.
"Do you remember that the criminals drove a yellow taxi into the Xingfuli neighborhood?"
When Xia Mufan met Ice Cream, it was chasing the person who took Ruirui away. The clue of the yellow taxi was provided by Ice Cream, and the people from the property management company also confirmed that a taxi did drive into the community before the incident. Yue Yuan had requested the traffic police to assist in the investigation, but because they did not know the license plate number, there was no follow-up result.
However, things took a turn for the better a week later when a taxi driver came forward to turn himself in.
According to the driver, he received a strange order on the night of the incident.
The other party was three men who gave him one thousand yuan to rent the car for one night. The driver was reluctant at first. Although one thousand yuan was a lot of money, the other party would neither keep a deposit nor leave his ID. What if the other party drove away his taxi?
However, later a man stayed and found a late-night snack stall with the driver to drink, and the driver agreed to rent the car to them.
That night, the car only drove for two hours and made a net profit of one thousand yuan. The drunk driver felt very happy.
But after sobering up, the driver felt a little scared. What if the other party used his car to do something bad? What if the police come to his house and say he is part of a criminal gang?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. After struggling for a week, the driver finally let reason prevail and he went to the police station to turn himself in.
Yue Yuan took out photos of the three Mo brothers and showed them to the driver. The driver pointed them out accurately: "This is the man who drank with me! He has a southern accent, is older, and looks fierce. These two are the ones who drove my car away. They are a little younger, but probably in their forties. They are thin, but look very strong."
Hearing this, Sun Xianbing couldn't help but laugh: "The law is vast and long, and nothing can escape it. I didn't expect that the three brothers of the Mo family would fall into the hands of this taxi driver."
Yu Jing heaved a sigh of relief: "This driver is lucky. He was not silenced."
Gong Weiguo also said: "Indeed, I am worried about this driver. The three brothers of the Mo family have killed several people and are very cruel. If they kill the driver afterwards, I am afraid that the witness will be gone."
Xia Mufan stood up and said, "Let's ask Boss Mo this question. Now, let's go meet Huang Zhongliang first."
--
Yangcheng, Tianshui Hotel.
The place is fully booked today because a world-class product trade show is being held in a nearby stadium.
As the CEO of Hualiang Group, Huang Zhongliang also attended this event with his sales team, striving to promote the products produced by the factory to the world. Whether the group’s output value can double this year depends on how many orders it can get from this conference.
After a busy day, Huang Zhongliang did not return to Tianshui Hotel until eight or nine o'clock in the evening when the lights came on. He lay on the big bed with his clothes on, staring blankly at the ceiling chandelier.
The body is tired, and the mind is even more tired.
The hotel was air-conditioned and cool, the lighting was soft, and the bed was fluffy and soft, but his heart could not calm down.
So much had happened during this period of time that Huang Zhongliang was a little out of breath.
Bai Jiaying’s death and Ruirui’s disappearance caused him to feel an unspeakable fear in his heart. Who killed Bai Jiaying? Where was Rarity taken? He didn't dare to think too deeply and could only deceive himself.
However, his sixth sense made him feel a chill on his back whenever he saw Mo Yuhua's face, and he could only numb himself with busy work.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Huang Zhongliang frowned and didn't want to pay attention. But the knock on the door was persistent.
According to his frequent business trips, small hotels always have some special services at night. He did not expect that a star-rated hotel like Tianshui Hotel would also have such interference. Huang Zhongliang was a little impatient, so he stood up and opened the door.
Two young girls were standing at the door.
One has a high ponytail with lively eyes and eyebrows; the other has short hair and is gentle and lovely. Both of them were wearing long floral dresses with a tropical feel, with the hems of their skirts spread out, like a beautiful summer painting.
Huang Zhongliang had seen countless people, and he could tell at a glance that these two girls had clear eyes and eyebrows, without a trace of worldly air. Facing the beautiful woman, Huang Zhongliang's attitude softened unconsciously: "What's the matter?"
These two beautiful girls are Xia Mufan and Feng Xiaoyu.
In order not to alarm Mo Yuhua, they specially chose Huang Zhongliang when he was away on business and came to find him at night when he was alone.
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. The two of them put on the flowery dresses they had just bought in Huancheng.
Xia Mufan smiled slightly: "Sir, would you like to invite us in and have a seat?"
Seeing the girl so proactive, Huang Zhongliang suddenly became lustful. He welcomed the two of them in and considerately locked the door. Just when his mind was filled with words like good night, threesome, and great enjoyment..., a police officer's ID suddenly appeared in front of him.
Huang Zhongliang was so scared that he took two steps back and sat down on the edge of the bed.
police? These two beautiful girls are actually police officers? Why did the police come to my house? Was it the police who were catching prostitutes and conducting a sting operation, or had he committed a crime somewhere?
Huang Zhongliang said without thinking: "I, I didn't call you Miss, I am a serious businessman."
Feng Xiaoyu's face turned serious and she spat at him: "What Miss? We are the police!"
Huang Zhongliang carefully looked at the police ID card and asked, "You, where are you from?"
Xia Mufan smiled and said, "We are from the Criminal Investigation Team of Hui City Public Security Bureau."
Hui City!
When Huang Zhongliang heard this word, he became tense.
Was Bai Jiaying’s case exposed?
There is a central air-conditioning outlet by the floor-to-ceiling window, a round table, and two wooden chairs with backrests, which is simple and elegant.
Xia Mufan sat in the reclining chair, looking at the middle-aged man in front of him with sweat on his forehead: "Do you know why we came to see you?"
Huang Zhongliang subconsciously denied: “No, no, I don’t know.”
Xia Mufan leaned back and looked out the window.
At night in Guangzhou, the lights are as bright as stars, and the lights of the vehicles turn the road into a flowing river of light and shadow.
Such a beautiful city, but there are always dirty people's hearts.
Since Xia Mufan didn't say anything, Feng Xiaoyu kept silent and stood at the door vigilantly, watching Huang Zhongliang's every move.
Two policemen came from Hui City, but they sat here without saying a word. This silent atmosphere put a lot of pressure on Huang Zhongliang: "Two police officers, what do you want to talk to me about?"
Xia Mufan still looked out the window and spoke slowly: "Do you know Bai Jiaying?"
Huang Zhongliang's heart tightened as he carefully observed Xia Mufan's expression. He neither said that he knew him nor that he didn't know him.
He kept pondering over and over in his mind. In order to guard against Mo Yuhua, he had kept Bai Jiaying hidden very well and should not have left any traces in Hui City. Logically, no one should know that he was Bai Jiaying's lover. Why did the police chase him here?
Xia Mufan did not ask any more questions, but just chuckled, his laughter full of sarcasm: "Bai Jiaying came to Hui City, a place she was not familiar with, to settle down for you. You gave her money, but also deprived her of her freedom. She thought this kind of life was only temporary, but she didn't know that she would be greeted by a butcher's knife."
The information revealed in Xia Mufan's words made Huang Zhonghua no longer have any hope of luck.
The police know! The police knew that he was Bai Jiaying's lover and that Ruirui was his child!
The last three words "slaughtering knife" made Huang Zhonghua feel cold all over.
Huang Zhonghua wanted to stand up from the bed, but his legs were trembling and could not support his obese body. He had to support himself with his hands on the edge of the bed and tried to sit up straighter.
"I, I didn't kill her."
"Jiaying is a good girl. I harmed her."
"I'm really useless. I can't even protect my own woman and children!"
Later, Huang Zhonghua covered his face with his hands and started crying.
Tears seeped out from between her fingers, but she couldn't inspire anyone's sympathy.
Xia Mufan's voice was calm and clear: "You have a wife and children, why are you cheating?"
Huang Zhongliang really wanted to speak at this moment. The long-term emotional suppression made him breathless. Today, facing the two policemen from Hui City, he suddenly wanted to pour out what was hidden in his heart.
"Jiaying and I met in a foot massage shop. At that time, she was young, beautiful, tall and pretty. She was unforgettable. She was short of money, and I happened to be rich, so naturally we got together."
"Later, Jiaying became pregnant. I took her to Hong Kong for a checkup and it was a boy. I wanted her to give birth to the baby, but I was afraid that Mo Yuhua would find out, so I gave her some money and asked her to settle down in Hui City."
"She is very obedient. As long as I give her money every month, she will behave herself and do whatever I say. I don't let her call my mobile phone, but she won't. She waits for me to call her from another phone. I don't let her contact others, so she has few friends. I don't let her tell others about my existence, so she doesn't tell anyone."
Perhaps because he felt too guilty, there was a slight tremor in Huang Zhongliang's voice.
Xia Mufan interrupted him: "If you are afraid of your wife, why do you have children with others?"
Huang Zhongliang loosened his hands that had been covering his face, raised his hands and looked at Xia Mufan: "I am a man, I cannot live without a son. If I lose my son, people in the family will stab me in the back."
Xia Mufan sneered: "Since you are so determined to have a son, then divorce and remarry."
Human nature is greedy.
If you want this, this, and more, you will end up with nothing.
Huang Zhongliang stared at her in a daze: "Divorce? I don't dare."
Xia Mufan asked: "Why don't you dare? Are you unwilling to share the family property?"
Huang Zhongliang hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, no, I'm not afraid of this. If Mo Yuhua is willing to divorce, hand over the group to me, and only take 10% of the deposit, I'm willing to do that."
