Chapter 114 Identifying the Corpse, Old Su
As more and more questions arose surrounding Su Qiang's death, the two men, after informing their superiors, decided to go to the local police station.
Because Su Qiang had the proof of account cancellation, the local police station could not possibly have been unaware of it.
The two of them heard completely different answers.
According to the deputy director here, when they received the notification and rushed to the scene to determine the nature of the death, they found that the body was already gone.
Upon inquiring, they discovered that the body had been taken away by the deceased's family. They were terrified and immediately split into two teams: one team was responsible for the on-site investigation and interviewing witnesses, while the other team rushed to find the body.
Finally, after systematic reconstruction of the take-off point, fall marks, and landing point, along with the suicide note, eyewitness accounts, and the deceased's family history of hereditary mental illness, it was determined that the traces of voluntary jumping were internally consistent and proactive, and only then was a death certificate issued.
After leaving the police station, the two looked at each other and saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
There's nothing wrong with Songhe Trading's practices.
The family members have a suicide note and a history of mental illness, so there's nothing wrong with doing this.
The local police station, after conducting a fact-finding assessment, issued a death certificate, which is not a problem.
But putting these three things together makes you feel like there's something wrong with them!
Xiao Jiale wasn't the only one who thought this way; even Zhou Yang felt that something seemed off, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
After going around in circles, the two arrived at a place not far from Xiangmanyuan residential area.
"Find He Zhuang again, and Su Qiang's father, Old Su!" Judging by the time, Old Su should have arrived home by now.
"Why didn't we just go to his house?" Xiao Jiale turned to look at Zhou Yang. They had already gone to the streets, so going to his house now would be a complete waste of time.
Zhou Yang smiled: "His family is full of relatives and friends. He should be back from the cemetery soon. Let's just wait!"
After saying that, he squatted down without any regard for appearances, waiting for the old man to return. He had inquired about Old Su's physical characteristics from the neighborhood office, so he wasn't afraid of missing anything.
He actually found out about this and made the arrangements!
Xiao Jiale sighed, found a tree stump to sit down, and opened his notebook to study it carefully.
While the two were waiting for someone, another person went to identify the body.
Through questioning, Dai Yan learned that the woman's name was Liu Shanshan, she was 42 years old, and her husband, Hu Hao, was 39 years old.
Her husband was serving his sentence in jail and should have been released in April, but she hadn't seen him. She assumed he had just lost his temper again and his sentence had been extended, so she didn't think much of it.
But these past two days I've been feeling my right eye twitching, and I was afraid something was wrong, so I got ready to visit him in prison. It turned out he had already been released three months ago.
Has she hooked up with someone else again?
On his way back, a casual glance revealed that the clothes worn by one of the skeletons on the body identification notice looked somewhat familiar...
After identification and review of Hu Hao's medical records at the hospital, it was finally confirmed that the owner of the unidentified corpse was Hu Hao.
"It took you three months to find out?" Even Wang Chao found it hard to believe.
Liu Shanshan gave a bitter smile: "Isn't this what second marriages are like? Besides, this guy is always doing those despicable things, spending 300 days a year in jail. Who knows if he's run away again..."
Wang Chao was speechless. Only then did he realize that the man was three or four years younger than the woman, and judging from his expression, he wasn't exactly a docile person.
"Did he say anything when you visited him before?" Fang Duo asked.
"I rarely go, and it's nothing special... Now that you ask, it turns out there really is!" Liu Shanshan's words startled the two of them: "He said he was about to get rich and told me to wait and see, but this is what we got..."
"Get rich!" Fang Duo rested her chin on her hand, holding a pen. "Anything more specific?"
Liu Shanshan shook her head: "No, I don't think so... Yes, I told him I came by motorcycle, and he shamelessly said that once he got out, he'd earn enough money to buy two or three!"
After seeing Liu Shanshan off, the two hurried back to the station. Now that the identities of the two bodies were clear, they needed to notify the rest of the team as soon as possible.
"Chaozi, two or three cars, how much is it?" Fang Duo, sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked.
As Wang Chao drove, he blurted out almost without thinking, "The most popular car right now is Suzuki. One car costs around ten thousand yuan, and two or three cars would cost twenty or thirty thousand yuan!"
"Twenty or thirty thousand, twenty or thirty thousand!" Fang Duo repeated, then her eyes lit up. She seemed to have heard someone mention this price before!
Not far from Xiangmanyuan residential area, Zhou Yang and Xiao Jiale finally met up with Old Su.
As soon as the two men identified themselves, Old Su burst into tears: "Officers, you must help Qiangqiang! He was murdered, I really have no other choice..."
"Uncle Su, we're here to understand the situation. Let's find a place and have a proper talk!"
Xiao Jiale glanced at the old man; this seemed to contradict what the neighborhood committee had said about him having mental problems.
Old Su said that because he lost his wife and daughter at an early age, he placed all his hopes on his son, Su Qiang. His son lived up to his expectations, found a good job in the local area after graduating from university, and also got a girlfriend.
Originally, I was thinking of bringing myself over to live with them and enjoy a peaceful retirement, but after a few visits, I always suffered from water and soil incompatibility, vomiting and diarrhea, so the matter was temporarily put on hold. My son hired a nanny for me, but I am still young, and that would be another expense. Why waste that money?
Then one day, his son suddenly came back and said that he had been poached by a newly established company with a large sum of money. The company offered a lot of money and was also close to his father, so he agreed.
It turned out that the son had broken up with his girlfriend and didn't want to stay in that city. Just then, Qiao Songnian offered him a job.
He worked in this field for more than a decade. During this time, Qiao Songnian's Songhe Trading went from being an unknown company to becoming a well-known enterprise and a major taxpayer in Ning'an, and Su Qiang's salary also increased.
The old man was very anxious because his personal life was still unsettled. He asked many people for help, but Su Qiang was never very interested. The old man thought it was because his son had high standards.
After all, as far as he knew, his son's stereo system, worth tens of thousands of yuan, was only equivalent to three or four months' salary.
His son bought a house and a car, and life was peaceful and stable until the end of the year when he noticed that his son was often coming home drunk, smelling strongly of cigarettes and alcohol.
My son is in his forties and used to never drink alcohol.
Later, the son smiled less and less, and he complained a little, but he never said anything in front of the old man.
One day, while I was watering the flowers at home, my younger brother suddenly came to the door, grabbed me and rushed me outside. He said that Qiangqiang had jumped off the building and was dead!
