Chapter 110 The Assassins Who Were Taken Down!
According to the information relayed back by Fang Duo, it has now been confirmed that one of the skeletons belongs to Sun Yan.
The other body is still unclaimed, but considering that the notice for identifying the body was only issued not long ago, and that the police came to pick up Du Niu Niu for an autopsy, this situation is not unusual.
It has now been confirmed that around the Qingming Festival in April, Sun Yan and Sun Weixin encountered two skeletons after leaving in a silver sedan. One skeleton was found in a manhole in Chengnan Street, and the other was found in a pit dug in the wilderness of the countryside.
As for why the bodies were disposed of separately, there is no clue yet.
In addition, there was another corpse with Sun Yan, whose fatal wound was most likely inflicted by Sun Yan's triangular dagger.
The discovery of Sun Yan's body, along with the testimony of Lao Shuqiang from Ping Yun's side, basically means that the direction of the Ning'an Municipal Bureau's investigation over the past two days has been completely wrong!
Currently, all the clues are pinned on Su Qiang!
But finding a common name in the vast sea of people is too time-consuming. Most importantly, what if, after going through all that trouble, the other person is not the owner of the silver-gray car?
"Why are you all looking so long-faced? The case will be cleared up soon!" Liu Chengyu slammed his hand on the table. "Zhou Yang, what are your thoughts?"
"Actually, I think that as the case has progressed this far, we are slowly uncovering the killer and everything behind it!" Zhou Yang said in a low, slow voice, his gaze sweeping over his colleagues.
This is not a righteous and glorious statement, but rather his truest inner thought.
Previously, the various clues were small, detailed, and scattered, but now, with the discovery of Sun Yan's body, once it is confirmed that he and Sun Weixin were both victims, the direction and progress of the investigation will take a leap forward.
"The murderer is familiar with the abandoned manholes on Ping'an Street in the south of the city, and also with the desolate area where Sun Yan buried his body. Even if the murderer isn't Su Qiang, there's still an inextricable connection between them. Finding out in three days shouldn't be a problem!"
"I don't think it's a big problem!" Wang Chao's deep voice rang out, and everyone turned to look at him.
"Since Brother Yang said so, I believe that if the investigation is completed in three days, there shouldn't be any major problems!" Wang Chao chuckled. "After all, I witnessed his abilities firsthand!"
Upon hearing this, no one objected. After recalling the events, it seemed that Zhou Yang had maintained a clear mind since he first encountered the murder case, even though it hadn't been long. This reassured them somewhat.
Next, the group had an in-depth discussion of the case.
The main directions of the discussion are three: why were Sun Yan and Sun Weixin killed? Was it because they knew something or did something?
Secondly, how many perpetrators were involved? Sun Weixin's body was found with a single-edged weapon, Sun Yan suffered a skull fracture, and the unidentified body was killed by a triangular dagger. These three different methods raise the question of whether they were committed by the same person.
Thirdly, is Su Qiang the murderer?
Regarding the third point, everyone initially leaned towards it, since according to the repair shop owner, the burial site was the place where he bought the car and where it broke down.
Could there really be such a coincidence in the world?
Everyone agreed that the murderer's car broke down after burying the body, which is why he got stuck there and ended up finding the repair shop owner.
As Zhou Yang listened to everyone's discussion, a mental storm was brewing within him.
According to the repair shop owner, he had seen this person before. The person said he was determined to go into business and therefore didn't need the car.
But as I said before, a normal person would think that if they don't need the car and want to sell it, why not clean it up before selling it, or have the owner fix it up before selling it to someone else? Because if they sell it at the time, the price of the car will definitely be lowered.
Who selling cars doesn't want to make more money? If they didn't, there would be no point in selling them!
Unless he was too late?
Or perhaps, they have no money on them?
If there isn't enough time, can we infer that he is also facing a threat? Combined with his statement that he wants to go to sea, it means that he needs to leave this place because he is threatened and has to leave. He can't afford to waste time making more money.
If he didn't have any money on him, where did his money go? The boss once said that it was because he mentioned the repair price when he helped the other party that the other party said he wanted to sell it. How could someone who could afford to buy a car in 95 not have money to repair it?
Zhou Yang unconsciously recalled Du Niu Niu's words again—she left for less than ten minutes and then reappeared, giving the other party 1000 yuan. Could this money have been given by the car owner?
Just as the discussion was in full swing, there was a knock on the door. It turned out that something had happened to Fang Duo.
While Fang Duo was comforting Du Niu Niu, someone else went to identify the body. It was also Sun Yan. Du Niu Niu recognized this person; his name was Sun Zhengdao, and he had served several years in prison for intentional injury.
Sun Zhengdao, Sun Yan, and Sun Weixin are from the same village and grew up together.
When the police were investigating the case, Sun Zhengdao had just been incarcerated for theft and had only been released the day before. He saw the body identification report, thought it looked familiar, and came to check it out.
Sun Zhengdao provided Fang Duo with a useful piece of information—Sun Yan and Sun Weixin had invited him to do something big, but he was arrested before he could even agree.
And the "big deal" he was referring to was murder!
Thus, the mystery that had been troubling them was finally solved. Sun Yan and Sun Weixin were offered a large reward to commit murder, but for some reason, they both died in the end. It was truly unbelievable.
Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Fang Duo immediately drove Sun Zhengdao to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Through conversation, the details of the matter gradually became clear.
Sun Zhengdao was the oldest of the three and also the most ruthless. He was a well-known figure back then, and Sun Yan and Sun Weixin were his followers from the beginning.
Then Sun Zhengdao went in, and Bald Scar rose to prominence. Sun Zhengdao went in for the second and third time, but that's another story.
At the beginning of the year, after Sun Zhengdao was released, the group had a small gathering. Because he had no special skills, he had faced many hardships over the years. The two younger brothers who used to follow him had also become independent, which made him very disappointed.
However, he later met someone who seemed to have inquired about him and wanted to pay him to kill someone. At the time, Sun Zhengdao thought he was crazy, but the price offered was really tempting.
When the man left, he asked for Sun Zhengdao's contact information, and as if by some strange twist of fate, he left Sun Yan's pager number.
He had almost forgotten about this matter. Around the time of the Qingming Festival, when the three of them were drinking together, the two of them mysteriously told Sun Zhengdao that they had reached an agreement. He couldn't remember anything after that. When he asked again, Sun Yan refused to talk about it and said that Sun Zhengdao had misheard!
Before he could get to the bottom of things, his crime came to light, and he was arrested again, where he was detained for more than three months.
The first thing he did after getting out was to look for Sun Yan, but he couldn't find him. Instead, he found a body identification report on a nearby utility pole.
"How much money did that person promise you back then?" Zhou Yang asked with great interest after listening.
"Thirty thousand!" Sun Zhengdao nodded as if confirming, then frowned again: "They said they can still negotiate; this is just a show of good faith!"
Money can be tempting, no wonder Sun Yan and his companion were willing to take the risk, they were given so much.
"Do you know who to kill?"
"I know!" Sun Zhengdao's eyes flickered slightly.
