Inside Jiangzhou City Public Security Bureau.
The on-duty personnel were in a state of panic because of two consecutive reports of crimes and the pressure from the Qin and Zhou families.
The online taxi driver who first reported the case is now sitting in the interrogation room and taking his statement.
His skin was dark, but his cheeks were red. He looked very angry and had been cursing non-stop since he called the police.
Facing the police's questioning, he grabbed his hair and said impatiently, shaking his legs:
"Hey, I told you on the phone! My car was lost on that small road outside the west campus of Jiangda University. Why don't you help me find the car? What's the point of asking me over and over again?!"
"That's the procedure, sir."
"What a lousy process! I think they're doing this on purpose. They're bullying the weak and looking down on outsiders like us!"
The driver grew increasingly agitated, his pride pierced, and he began to speak without restraint: "Those two men in suits outside, they're so rich and powerful. As soon as they walked in, your leaders surrounded them. I lost my car, and you took ages to find it! Is this how you police officers serve the people?!"
"You know nothing!"
Another impatient police officer slammed the table and shouted, "You know your car is involved in a kidnapping case! Those two powerful people you mentioned are the family members of the kidnapped victim."
Hearing this, the driver immediately stopped moving and shrank back like a wilted cucumber.
After a moment, he finally spoke, explaining with a very aggrieved tone: "What car? I rented it. If they can't find it, I have to pay the company the price. Hundreds of thousands of dollars is a lot of money."
The accompanying female police officer coughed twice to remind her colleagues to be careful and appeased the driver before asking, "You rented this car, didn't you? Doesn't it have a positioning system?"
"Pretending." The driver said firmly.
Qin Hezhou, standing behind the glass, looked increasingly unhappy. The person sent to investigate Qin Yu had not yet replied, and the driver had nothing valuable to say.
Several hours have passed since the incident...
I don’t know if Pei Zhiyu is safe now.
He turned around and saw that Zhou Yanli, who was behind him just now, was gone. He glanced at the chair and asked, "Where is he?"
The police officer hurriedly replied: "Mr. Zhou went out to answer the phone."
A phone call? Any news?
Qin Hezhou walked out, ready to look for Zhou Yanli, but just as he took a step, the police officer behind him grabbed his arm. He frowned and looked back, his eyes cold with only the words "if you have to fart, fart quickly" written on them.
The police officer withdrew his hand angrily and explained, "Mr. Qin, the dashcam of the car that crashed into the green belt and caught fire in Xingnan County has been repaired."
"Well, then?"
"The video clearly shows that the vehicle that fled the scene was the ride-hailing service that Ms. Pei had called."
Hearing this, Qin Hezhou could no longer remain calm and anxiously asked the other party to retrieve the video from the recorder. He had to see it with his own eyes to know for sure.
At this moment, Zhou Yanli returned and walked towards Qin Hezhou with a worried look on his face, "It's Cheng Xiuqi."
"Who?" Qin Hezhou was a little confused. The name sounded familiar to him, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.
"Zhong Yue's ex-boyfriend is also Pei Zhiyu's high school classmate." Zhou Yanli said halfway when he suddenly remembered that Qin Hezhou and Pei Zhiyu seemed to have graduated from the same high school.
He looked over and saw Qin Hezhou's face showing an expression of sudden enlightenment.
No wonder it sounds familiar.
During high school, because Qin Yu took the lead in targeting Qin Hezhou, almost no one got close to Qin Hezhou, and they all watched coldly when he got into trouble.
Besides Cheng Xiuqi, who at the time wore glasses and was a gentle, honest, and obscure person, his parents were quite impressive. They had both switched careers from teaching to foreign trade, and after making enough money, they even donated a building to the school.
Therefore, he received more protection in school and no one dared to bully him.
One time, Qin Yu went crazy for some reason and started fighting with Qin Hezhou in broad daylight on the playground. Everyone saw it, but no one tried to stop him, not even the teachers.
Just when he was about to fight back, the "good boy with four eyes" as his classmate called him suddenly rushed up and took a punch for Qin Hezhou, which stunned Qin Yu, who had started the fight.
Cheng Xiuqi was panting, his hands still shaking. He pushed his crooked glasses up his nose and timidly warned Qin Yu, "You can't hit people in school."
Qin Yu and his followers laughed disdainfully as if they had heard a huge joke.
In the end, the principal stepped in to resolve the matter, for the sake of the building donated by Cheng Xiuqi's family and also for the building that Qin Yu's father was about to donate.
In fact, he didn't have much interaction with Cheng Xiuqi later. He just left a relatively kind impression because of this incident. He just didn't expect that this "good boy" would actually do something like stealing a car and kidnapping.
"Are you sure?" Qin Hezhou asked.
Zhou Yanli nodded and said with certainty, "One hundred percent."
Seeing that he still had doubts, Zhou Yanli reached up and lifted the hem of his shirt, revealing the blood-soaked gauze. He said, "Cheng Xiuqi stabbed him. And Zhong Yue's previous injury and hospitalization were also related to him."
"Is it just revenge?" Qin Hezhou asked again.
Zhou Yanli: "It shouldn't be that simple. I've asked someone to investigate. Did you hear any useful information here?"
"Dashcam..."
"Mr. Qin, the video is here!"
The two looked at each other and followed the police to the computer to check the restored surveillance video.
When the car in the video turned into the auxiliary road, it hit the speeding car that caused the accident head-on. In an emergency avoidance, it slammed on the brakes and lost control of the steering wheel, and rushed into a big tree in the green belt.
The license plate of the vehicle involved in the accident was clearly visible in the video, and it was indeed the online taxi that Pei Zhiyu had taken. The time on the video basically matched the time when Zhou Yanli received Zhong Yue's call.
The more Zhou Yanli thought about it, the more worried he became. At least he wouldn't kill the hostages if it was for money. If it was anything else, it was hard to imagine what Cheng Xiuqi would do.
Besides, the photo he sent...
"Is his father called Cheng Yongbing?" Qin Hezhou suddenly asked.
Zhou Yanli was stunned. He really didn't understand the matter. He glanced at the police officer who handed him the information.
At first glance, it was indeed the name.
"Have you thought of anything?" Zhou Yanli asked.
Qin Hezhou was silent for a moment before muttering, "Cheng Yongbing has a factory east of Xingnan County."
