Things went smoothly; they successfully retrieved and sold the steel, and everyone received a large sum of money.
However, before they could be happy for long, the steel mill leaders discovered that the steel was missing.
Of course, he didn't expect that someone else would take it with a fake receipt. He just thought that someone had stolen it. Afraid of taking responsibility, he started to investigate secretly.
Liu Leiqiang, the warehouse keeper, found out immediately.
So he got anxious!
He was afraid that others would remember Yan Xiangdong's face. After all, he worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, where people came and went all day, and many people had seen him. Moreover, he had used that face to pick up the goods from the steel plant that day.
Afraid of being discovered by others.
So they decided to go all the way and, under the pretext of having something to say, called Yan Xiangdong out. Then, taking advantage of his inattention, they killed him and secretly dumped his body in an abandoned well in the suburbs.
After killing him, he was afraid that Zhu Xiaolian would suspect something, so he went to her house and told her that Yan Xiangdong was away on a business trip.
But a few days later, he worried that Zhu Xiaolian would tell others that he had told her about Yan Xiangdong's business trip, so he decided to take action against Zhu Xiaolian again.
So he secretly went to find Zhu Xiaolian again and told her that Yan Xiangdong had gotten into trouble outside and was preparing to run away. He asked her to help inform her that he wanted to meet her in the suburbs and ask her to come with him.
She was also told not to tell anyone.
Zhu Xiaolian had no doubts after hearing this, because she vaguely knew that her husband might be doing things outside that she didn't know about.
After all, he seemed to have suddenly made a lot of money recently and bought her a lot of beautiful clothes and shoes.
So Zhu Xiaolian used the excuse of seeing a doctor to send her child to her younger brother's house, and went to the suburbs alone with Liu Leiqiang.
When they reached the vicinity of the riverbank, Liu Leiqiang revealed his true colors and prepared to kill Zhu Xiaolian.
Zhu Xiaolian then realized that the other party had come to harm her, but in this desolate wilderness, she was a woman with no one to call for help and no way to escape, so she could only kneel down and beg for mercy.
He even agreed to Liu Leiqiang's humiliation in order to save his life.
The sock that Hu Xing found was left behind at that time.
However, Zhu Xiaolian ultimately did not survive.
After the two returned to the riverbank, Liu Leiqiang took advantage of her unpreparedness, strangled her unconscious, poured gasoline he had obtained from Zhu Xianglin on her, and set her on fire.
However, the pain after the fire was lit woke Zhu Xiaolian up.
Upon seeing this, she instinctively ran towards the river, falling down once along the way.
But she collapsed before she could reach the river.
As for why the police only saw one person's footprints when they arrived, it was because Liu Leiqiang was wearing flat cloth shoes, which made it difficult to leave footprints on the gravel-covered ground, leading to the police station's misjudgment.
Even after killing Yan Xiangdong and Zhu Xiaolian, Liu Leiqiang was still uneasy, since the fake receipt was still in the office.
Fearing his superiors would find out, he simply asked Zhu Xianglin to help him knock out the security guard, go inside, and burn the receipts.
He thought that this would prevent anyone from noticing, but he didn't expect it to backfire and completely expose the theft of the steel.
...
Su He and the others sighed after hearing about the process.
This person is truly cold-blooded; they'd do anything for money.
Was it really worth it to kill his best friend and his wife, and betray the company he had worked for for so long?
Moreover, he felt no remorse after the murder; he only regretted not handling the situation better, otherwise it wouldn't have been discovered.
All I can say is that he unleashed the full evil of human nature.
