Chapter 118 The Young Zhong Honglan
As the fax machine beeped, a portrait was sent over.
The city bureau immediately contacted the owner of the silver-gray car that Su Qiang had purchased. It was confirmed that Dong Youli was the person who sold the vehicle to him.
At this point, the case finally saw a major breakthrough.
But just now, Wang Chao heard on the phone from the local police station that Dong Youli had not returned to his hometown at all. It wasn't that he hadn't returned last month, but that he hadn't shown any signs of returning for nearly half a year.
This conclusion was reached after they visited Dong Youli's home and interviewed his relatives and neighbors.
Previously, Dong Youli was always very flamboyant whenever he returned home, handing out cigarettes to the villagers and chatting with them. So many people can testify that they haven't seen him since after the New Year.
Dong Youli was born in 1958 and is 37 years old this year. He is married, but his wife ran away while he was in prison, leaving behind a little girl who lives with his parents.
In addition, he has two older sisters, both of whom married in Ning'an.
After confirming that the person who sold the car was Dong Youli, the municipal bureau retrieved Dong Youli's personal BP records from the telecommunications company, as well as his home phone call times.
With the cooperation of the telecommunications bureau, it was discovered that the last time he contacted his family was the night after he sold the car.
After that, his pager, like Sun Yan's, stopped receiving messages and was most likely turned off.
Furthermore, at the telecommunications bureau, Zhou Yang and his team discovered a phone record from Qiao Songnian in Dong Youli's home, dated the morning of the third day after Dong Youli sold the car.
The investigation has reached a point where it is basically the same as what Zhou Yang said. However, his breakthrough point is Su Qiang, and all the evidence now indicates that this matter is closely related to Songhe Trading.
"If that's the case, then is Sun Yan and Sun Weixin's target Dong Youli, or is Dong Youli their employer?" Dai Yan's questioning voice reached their ears.
"I think he should be the target of the assassination!" Xiao Jiale frowned, pondering how to organize his thoughts.
"On the contrary, I think he was the employer. In the end, he killed everyone who knew about it, but someone found out by accident, and now he's on the run!" Fang Duo expressed a different opinion.
"Yang-ge, what do you think?" Wang Chao nudged Zhou Yang and asked.
"I don't know, but I'm wondering who the other one is?" Zhou Yang smiled. Although he had a guess, he had no evidence.
"What other one?" Wang Chao looked at him questioningly. "Say what you mean! This indecisiveness is so frustrating!"
Xiao Jiale rolled his eyes: "What he means is that whether it's the employer or the target, there has to be another person. It can't be that he's both the employer and the target, hiring those two people to kill him!"
Liu Chengyu nodded: "On the one hand, we need to do our best to search for Dong Youli, including his family and relatives and friends. On the other hand, we need to find another person as soon as possible. When that happens, the whole case will be solved."
......
"What are you thinking about?" Fang Duo asked, noticing that Zhou Yang hadn't said a word since he came out of the station.
"I'm wondering what the connection is between Dong Youli, Su Qiang, and the Qiao family, and what major interests they have!" Zhou Yang said casually without looking up.
"Strictly speaking, Dong Youli and Qiao Songnian are related. After their business grew, they needed professional people, so they poached Su Qiang with a large sum of money. Interestingly, Dong Youli also joined the company around the same time!" Fang Duo smiled.
"How about it? Does saying it this way help?"
Zhou Yang looked up: "How do you know so much?"
He couldn't help but be interested; the place they were thinking of going to was Qiao Songnian's house, and they would need to ask him about it later.
Fang Duo chuckled: "Who doesn't have a couple of friends?"
Zhou Yang was processing Fang Duo's words. Based on his previous guess, Dong Youli went in to take the fall, so Qiao Songnian must have known that, and Su Qiang wouldn't have been unaware either.
Now that one is dead and the other has escaped, Qiao Songnian, as one of the three, must know something.
Qiao Songnian is not the kind of person who doesn't know how to enjoy life, as can be seen from his living environment.
The Qiao family's location was excellent; it was a detached villa with a very large area, which was a symbol of status in the 90s.
Before they arrived, the two had asked the company's representative to contact the Qiao family.
Unfortunately, we didn't see Qiao Songnian today; his wife, Zhong Honglan, was the one who received the two of them.
It's really strange. Zhou Yang remembered that the victims in the previous case, Zhong Yue and Zhong Tao, also had the surname Zhong.
"Officers, I'm so sorry, Old Joe has a business dinner with his boss and can't get away!" As soon as the nanny led him in, a stylishly dressed woman came out to greet him with a smile.
"Mrs. Qiao, we've come too suddenly. We're the ones who should be apologizing!" With Fang Duo's greeting, Zhou Yang learned that the other party was Qiao Songnian's current wife, Zhong Honglan.
According to Fang Duo, Zhong Honglan is Qiao Songnian's second wife. She is 26 years old this year, and the two have an 8-year-old child.
"Miss Zhong doesn't look like a mother at all, she's so young!" Zhou Yang's words weren't flattery, they came from the bottom of his heart.
"This police officer is so good with words, his girlfriend must be very happy!" Zhong Honglan handed the two of them two bottles of drinks, covering her mouth and laughing.
"Oh, you're wrong. Our Officer Zhou is still single." Fang Duo rarely saw Zhou Yang make a fool of himself, so she chimed in, making Zhou Yang smile wryly.
"No way, that must be because Officer Zhou has too high standards!" Zhong Honglan said, her beautiful eyes scrutinizing Zhou Yang.
Standing at 1.8 meters tall, with sharply defined features and an air of confidence in every gesture, he is undeniably blessed with good looks.
......
"How is it?" Fang Duo asked Zhou Yang habitually in the car.
"Money can support a person!" Zhou Yang sighed. He wasn't exaggerating at all. If he hadn't known beforehand, he would have definitely mistaken Zhong Honglan for a college student. She didn't look like someone who was about to turn 30.
"However, there are some things I'm too embarrassed to ask. How did she end up with Qiao Songnian?" As far as he knew, Qiao Songnian's son was more than 10 years older than Zhong Honglan. He should be 37 or 38 years old this year.
Zhong Honglan married Qiao Songnian right after graduating from university.
Fang Duo smacked her lips: "Just like you said, money can support people, and it can also save them!"
Fang Duo said that Zhong Honglan's family was relatively well-off, and she also studied hard enough to get into university.
But later, some things happened in her family. Her mother became seriously ill, and her father became addicted to gambling. So she went out to work at a young age to pay for her tuition.
Just then, Songhe Trading Co., Ltd. went to her school to do charity work. Because of her good academic performance, Zhong Honglan was also on the list of students sponsored by Songhe.
Later, Zhong Honglan and Qiao Songnian became acquainted.
Perhaps it was Zhong Honglan's youthful exuberance that captivated them; in any case, they hit it off and got married the year they graduated, and then they had a child.
