Chapter 125 The Mist Gradually Disperses
"Let me tell you what happened back then." With busy technical team members constantly moving around them, Liu Chengyu came to Zhou Yang and Wang Chao, offered Zhou Yang a cigarette, and ignored Wang Chao, who was rubbing his hands together.
When this idiot notified Liu Chengyu, he said that Zhou Yang had found that the person was dying and that the forensic doctor should come directly instead of calling 120, since a forensic doctor is also a doctor. As a result, he was severely reprimanded.
It's no wonder Liu Chengyu was irritable.
Before he could even rejoice at finding Dong Youli and Qiao Songnian, he learned of Qiao Songnian's death.
Sun Weixin, Sun Yan, Hu Hao, Qiao Songnian—this is already the fourth body. In just a few days, they have been discovered or appeared one after another, making even the captain of the first brigade feel terrified.
"Brother Chao, tell us about it!" Zhou Yang squatted down to the side, feeling that there was something strange about what had happened today.
Wang Chao glanced at Zhou Yang, then at Liu Chengyu who looked dissatisfied, and then started from the beginning, then to Zhong Honglan's house, her parents, then along the discovery, the stalemate, their actions, the other side kidnapping Zhong Honglan, and so on until Zhou Yang discovered Qiao Songnian's death.
After listening, Liu Chengyu squatted down in front of Zhou Yang and started to smoke.
"After you arrived, you didn't hear a sound from Qiao Songnian at all, right?" After a long while, Liu Chengyu spoke up quietly.
Zhou Yang nodded: "His mouth is stuffed with something, but he's not making a sound!"
This should be clear from the forensic report later.
"Something's not right!" he muttered.
"Right? Yang said the same thing, something about something being suspicious everywhere, but I didn't understand it, so I didn't ask!" Wang Chao nodded in agreement from the side.
"By the way, Master, where is Qiao Zhemao? What is he doing?" A seemingly hurried figure appeared in Zhou Yang's mind.
Liu Chengyu shook his head: "According to the local police, he hasn't come out since he got home."
...Just as the two were talking, Wang Zhenhai took off his mask, walked up to the three of them, and lit a cigarette: "Die a miserable death!"
Liu Chengyu, Zhou Yang, and the other two exchanged glances: "What do you mean?"
"The respiratory muscles are not functioning properly, there is a lack of oxygen, the body shows special binding marks, the distribution of livor mortis matches the posture, there is conjunctival hemorrhage, as for the internal organ congestion, we have to go back for an autopsy." Wang Zhenhai finished speaking in one breath, ignoring the three of them, and squatted down to the side, puffing out smoke.
He genuinely enjoys smoking in open spaces like this; it feels good, unlike in the office, which always feels awkward and uncomfortable.
"What was the time of death?" This is the question that Zhou Yang and Liu Chengyu most want to know right now.
"Subtracting the ten or so minutes it took us to get here, it shouldn't have taken more than half an hour!" Wang Zhenhai breathed a sigh of relief and gave a specific figure.
Half an hour!
Upon hearing this time, even though he was mentally prepared, Wang Chao still cursed angrily.
If we exclude the time they spent dealing with Dong Youli, it means that Qiao Songnian may have already lost his vital signs before or when they arrived.
......
"Another life lost, Dong Youli, count for yourself how many!" In the interrogation room, Liu Chengyu angrily slammed the documents in his hand onto the table.
Not only Dong Youli on the other side, but even Dai Yan beside him was startled.
Liu Chengyu's words were not only threatening, but also genuinely angry. In his jurisdiction, in Ning'an, if such a heinous case could not be solved, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Although a pledge was made, that was to solve the case. Now there is a new victim, and this person's identity is not ordinary. Even if Qiao Songnian has been targeted by the relevant departments, it is still a life.
Next door, Fang Duo and Wang Chao sat together, while across from them sat Zhong Honglan, who was crying with tears streaming down her face.
"Officers, you must help Old Joe get justice! How could he die like that? Waaah..."
"Ms. Zhong, we understand how you feel, but please try to control your emotions and cooperate with us. Your child is waiting for you..." Fang Duo stood up and handed over a few tissues.
"Yes, yes!" Zhong Honglan nodded vigorously, "I will definitely cooperate, I will definitely cooperate. I still have to go back to take care of Xiaobao! You can ask me!" As she spoke, she quickly wiped her face with a tissue and then gave a forced smile.
Meanwhile, Qiao Zhemao, looking anxious, strode into the Ning'an Municipal Public Security Bureau.
......
"Speak, why did you kidnap Qiao Songnian!" Liu Chengyu leaned back and squinted at Dong Youli.
"I didn't kidnap him!" Dong Youli seemed to lose all his energy after hearing the news of Qiao Songnian's death.
"Then tell me, what was your purpose in sending the letter to Zhong Honglan?" Liu Chengyu didn't dwell on that question, but instead asked another one.
"I just want to see her!" Dong Youli said, lowering his head.
Liu Chengyu frowned, and Dai Yan's eyes widened. Good heavens, there are other twists and turns in this?
As if resigned to his fate, Dong Youli then explained his movements and purpose.
Meanwhile, the questioning of Zhong Honglan has reached a crucial point.
According to Dong Youli's confession, he met Zhong Honglan when he went to the school with Qiao Zhemao to hold a charity donation event. He was impressed by Zhong Honglan's youthful energy. As Qiao Songnian's driver, he was on call almost every day and had virtually no social circle.
Because of work, Qiao Songnian couldn't come often. Usually, Dong Youli would pick up and drop off Zhong Honglan by car. During this time, he gradually developed feelings for her that he shouldn't have.
He felt inferior. His education level was not high to begin with, and his criminal record made him feel ashamed in front of Zhong Honglan, a college student. He blamed everything on Qiao Songnian.
If I hadn't taken the blame for his company back then, and if I hadn't wasted several years of my life, how could I be in this situation where I have no skills and can only do nothing except drive?
However, after Zhong Honglan and Qiao Songnian got married and had a child, he buried this feeling in his heart. After all, it was enough for him to see her often and know that she was doing well.
The peaceful days were shattered one day when Qiao Songnian, for some unknown reason, had another episode. He actually ordered Dong Youli to get rid of Su Qiang, claiming that Su Qiang had discovered his secret and was using it to threaten him.
Dong Youli initially did not believe it.
Dong Youli admired Su Qiang. As someone without any special skills or much knowledge, he had a kind of reverence for such a highly educated person.
He had known Su Qiang for many years and knew his personality and temperament well.
Aside from burying himself in work, he had virtually no social life; video arcades and nightclubs were basically out of his reach.
Even when female colleagues give him food, he doesn't realize their good intentions; otherwise, he wouldn't still be single after all this time.
Now Qiao Songnian actually wants me to eliminate the other party?
I'm a driver, not a hitman, okay? I was young and naive before, and I took the blame for him once. Did I think I could live off Dong Youli for the rest of my life? Wishful thinking!
But unexpectedly, Su Qiang died just a few days later!
