Chapter 106: Suspicion of Wealth
Li Zhong: "Alas, gambling on stones has ruined me. I used all my savings of 3 million to buy a batch of raw stones. The first few stones were pretty good, but the materials got worse and worse towards the end. Some of them were not even scraps. As a result, I lost all my savings over the past few years. I think it must be Bai Fugui who ruined me."
Yue Xiaofeng: "I think it's your greed and poor vision that led to your business failure! What does this have to do with Bai Fugui? What do you want to report?"
Li Zhong: "I just want to report the situation of Bai Fugui and Meizhu. In fact, I met Meizhu when I was doing business in Wa State many years ago. She was not married at that time. I knew that she had wanted to leave there early on, and I also had some feelings for her, so I told her that I wanted to marry her. Later, when I returned to China to handle some affairs and went back to handle the procedures with her, she had left Wa State. I couldn't find her and could only bury my love for her temporarily. It was also fate. Until a few years ago, when I came to the Junyue Hotel in Z City to stay, I met her again. I thought it was God's favor and compensation to me. When I proposed to rekindle our relationship, she told me that she was already married. , and gave birth to a son, and our family was very happy. There was no other way, I could only bury this relationship deep in my heart as a bad fate, until the day she called me and cried, saying that her husband was addicted to drugs, and whenever the drug addiction came, he would beat, scold, and rob her of her money. Now he even ignored the child and only beat and scolded her. She asked me if I still wanted her, and if I could treat her child as my own. If so, she would divorce the man and live with me. Of course I agreed. She didn't know how long I had waited for this day, nor did she know how much I dreamed of being with her. When it came to this emotional part, this man who had experienced the hail of gunfire in Myanmar couldn't help but shed tears.
He wiped away his tears and said, "Men don't cry easily. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, especially this female comrade."
Xu Lin: "It's not a sin for a man to cry. It's okay, just continue talking after you finish crying."
Li Zhong: "At that time, I still had a little money. Meizhu was quite enthusiastic towards me when she first met me. But when I squandered my family fortune and became a security guard, her attitude towards me changed. She started to have feelings for that bastard Bai Fugui."
Xu Lin: "Then how did she and Bai Fugui know each other? You said that Bai Fugui was the cause of your bankruptcy. What's that about it?"
Li Zhong slapped himself in the face. "It's all my fault for letting the wolves into the house. I was the one who allowed them to meet. Later, I don't know when Bai Fugui fell in love with Meizhu. In order to win her over, he colluded with outsiders to sell me a batch of low-quality raw stones. When I saw that he was the middleman, I let my guard down and didn't think it was a scam. As a result, he wiped out the whole business. I don't know how they colluded with each other later. I hate it, I hate it. I hate myself for being so stupid as to trust those idiot friends."
He knocked the table hard, so hard that the water in the paper cup was shaken out.
Yue Xiaofeng: "Calm down. What makes you say they're hooking up? Is it just your subjective conjecture or is there any evidence to support it?"
Li Zhong: "I saw it with my own eyes. When Meizhu started to ignore me, I felt something was wrong, but I didn't dare to question her. I could only secretly go to the Junyue Hotel to spy on her. As a result, I found that Bai Fugui often went to the Junyue to book a room during her working hours. He even flirted with her at the hotel where she worked during her working hours. Tell me, as a man, how could I tolerate you blatantly cheating on me like this, and the person you cheated on me with was my good friend and business partner of many years. When I questioned her, she even shamelessly told me that you had no money. I was so angry at the time that I wanted to kill her with a knife."
Xu Lin and Yue Xiaofeng looked at Li Zhong at the same time.
Yue Xiaofeng: "Can I assume that you are turning yourself in?"
Li Zhong: "Comrade police officer, please don't take my words out of context. I only dared to think about it. After all, it's the woman I've loved for decades. How could I have the heart to do such a thing?"
Xu Lin: "Then do you think there is anything else that must be reported?"
Li Zhong: “Not for now.”
Yue Xiaofeng: "Then why are you still here? Why don't you leave quickly? Do you still want us to treat you to a meal?"
Li Zhong: "I'm leaving now."
Xu Lin: "Please be mindful of your temper. Please be professional and show your professionalism. We are investigating the case now. Don't let your emotions cloud your judgment."
Yue Xiaofeng: "I just can't stand his pretentious love. Even after someone died, he still threw dirty water on them. I thought he was a breakthrough and that I could find some clues from him, but now he has made the case more and more complicated. Now there's this Bai Fugui involved. What kind of love triangle is this?"
Xu Lin: "Although we don't know whether what he said is true or not, we still have to investigate since there is a clue. Do you think he specifically mentioned Bai Fugui to divert our attention from him and disrupt our investigation?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "It's possible."
Xu Lin: "Then let's go meet Bai Fugui now."
Bai Fugui rented a suite on the 30th floor of the Grand Hyatt Hotel for a long time as his office. Usually, only he and his secretary were there to handle the documents of his small company.
While riding the elevator, Xu Lin asked Yue Xiaofeng: "Do you have all the information about Bai Fugui?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "Bai Fugui is 45 years old, married with one child, and currently engaged in the jade processing and jewelry business. However, one thing worth noting is that he may be suspected of drug trafficking."
Xu Lin: "What's going on? Have you asked the Narcotics Squad about this?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "I asked about it, and they said there was a drug addict who volunteered to be their informant and infiltrate their gang to gather information. But when they were about to close in, that informant suddenly disappeared, and the police liaison couldn't find him. Later, his parents reported him missing, and there's still no news."
Xu Lin: "So there are so many missing persons cases every day in our Z City?"
Yue Xiaofeng: "What else do you think? They are all missing, alive or dead. The reason the anti-drug team targeted Bai Fugui is because the informant gave the police liaison a note with Bai Fugui's name on it. When the police made a plan and contacted the informant again, they found that he had disappeared without a trace."
Xu Lin: "It seems that the story behind Bai Fugui is really not simple. Maybe not everything Li Zhong said is false."
Yue Xiaofeng: "It's hard to say for sure until I see him in person. I've seen plenty of drug addicts who sell out their superiors just to get a little money as an informant and then run away. There's no way they'd actually risk their lives to catch a drug lord for us. How dangerous would that be? Unless he's a professional undercover agent for our police, then that's a different story."
Xu Lin didn't say anything else.
When they arrived at the 30th floor, they saw a large room with the door open. It was written with Myanmar Jewelry Trading Co., Ltd. Inside, a female employee was busy typing something on the computer keyboard.
