Chapter 130 Sun Zhengdao, the Good Citizen
Zhou Yang recognized the man who came. At the time, Dong Youli had been in contact with Sun Zhengdao, and Sun Zhengdao had left Sun Yan's pager number for future communication.
Sun Yan made contact with Dong Youli and accepted the task. He then approached Sun Weixin, and the two planned to work together. This notified Sun Zhengdao, but coincidentally, Sun Zhengdao was arrested again at this time.
As Sun Zhengdao went inside, he felt increasingly cheated. The two people were able to become wealthy entirely because he had left their pager numbers. He was supposed to at least get a share of the profits from this business. But once he entered, the two sides would probably negotiate and extricate him from the deal, leaving him without even a referral fee.
Fortunately, a fellow inmate named Hu Hao was about to be released, and Sun Zhengdao could use this person to get Sun Yan to set aside his share.
Hu Hao was not a law-abiding person, otherwise he would not have met and become friends with Sun Zhengdao in that place. Upon hearing that it was 30,000 yuan, he immediately agreed.
The only difficulty, however, is that they don't know who the other party hired to kill. But that's not a problem; they just need to follow Sun Yan and Sun Weixin.
Hu Hao couldn't keep a secret, so he told his girlfriend about it, only saying that he wanted to make a lot of money, without going into details.
Then Hu Hao came out and followed Sun Yan and the other man. Perhaps he followed too closely and was discovered, or perhaps he took the initiative to show himself and extort money. In any case, he was killed by the two men, who then used the corpse to intimidate Dong Youli, who wanted to back down.
Later, when Dong Youli killed Sun Yan, he discovered that Hu Hao's body was still in his trunk while packing the box.
So he buried the two of them together in a field in Dongjiazhai, and finally sold his car and went on the run.
The moment Zhou Yang saw Sun Zhengdao, this string of information immediately came to mind.
"Officer Zhou, Officer Zhou, we've found something!" Having dealt with Zhou Yang before, Sun Zhengdao shouted as soon as he saw him.
It turned out that he came to help the police provide clues. While playing cards, he overheard about the skeletons being dug out of the manhole. Combined with the rumors he had heard a few days ago, he came up with his own set of conjectures.
The more he thought about it, the more likely it was true, so he quickly went to the police station to report it.
"Officer Zhou, if I help the police solve the case, will you give me a 'Good Citizen' award?" Sun Zhengdao grinned and offered Zhou Yang a cigarette.
"You think this is a Hong Kong movie? A model citizen? How about we get you a banner to hang around your neck?" Zhou Yang refused, teasingly chuckling.
"Just kidding, just kidding!" Sun Zhengdao said with an embarrassed smile.
"However, if the clues you provide are valuable, you can receive a letter of commendation and an additional reward of 80 yuan!" This is the current common reward system.
Sun Zhengdao's eyes lit up: "Good, good, that's enough, I'll talk..."
According to Sun Zhengdao, after discovering that Hu Hao had been murdered, he gave up on getting the money. In his words, the employer may have killed him to silence him.
Because he was the first to be contacted, the employer clearly knew his identity, but he didn't know who the other party was. This put him in a very passive position, so he went to crowded places every day, since no one knew if the other party would suddenly jump out and kill him.
After all, only he, Sun Yan, Sun Weixin, and Hu Hao knew about this, and now two of them are dead. It would be a lie to say he wasn't afraid.
Until this morning, he heard that a skeleton had been found in the manhole, and some people said it might belong to the former electrician, Sun Weixin.
This made his mind race again, and at the same time, he became even more afraid.
Four people knew about it, and three of them died. If the murderer is not caught soon, then they will most likely be next.
He wasn't a key figure, he had no money or power, and he couldn't have the police protect him 24 hours a day. But even with 24-hour protection, there was still a high probability that he would be killed by the murderer.
He decided to take the initiative and find the murderer, thinking that he would be safe and could even get a reward. So he started asking around.
As it turned out, he actually found some things.
His former underlings saw Sun Yan loitering around Ping'an Street for a long time around April 10th, acting suspiciously, clearly planning to do something wicked.
Looking at Sun Zhengdao, who was staring at him expectantly, Zhou Yang pondered for a moment: "Anything else you know?"
"Huh?" Sun Zhengdao was taken aback: "Isn't that enough? It's obvious that Sun Yan scouted the place beforehand, then killed Sun Weixin, and finally dumped the body into the manhole."
Zhou Yang shook his head: "This alone is only a suspicion; it doesn't prove anything!"
"Hey, Officer Zhou, why can't you explain that Sun Yan and Sun Weixin shared the same lover, and that Sun Yan killed Sun Weixin because of a conflict? It must be that the employer didn't kill Sun Weixin!" Sun Zhengdao said righteously.
Zhou Yang looked at Sun Zheng with a puzzled expression and asked, "Why did you suddenly decide to help that employer...?"
Halfway through his sentence, he met the expectant gaze of the other person and roughly understood that the other person wanted to convince him that the employer was not a person who killed indiscriminately, that Sun Weixin was killed by Sun Yan, that Hu Hao might also have been killed by Sun Yan, and that the employer might have only killed Sun Yan.
Only with this kind of thinking could Sun Zhengdao dispel the unease and fear in his heart.
"That's not enough. Unless there's solid evidence, it's entirely possible the employer did it..." Zhou Yang said, then looked at Sun Zhengdao, "It's alright, he shouldn't come after you!"
"How is that not enough? The knife from that mistress's place has been taken. It must have been Sun Yanqian's doing. As men, you're still young and don't understand the jealousy that men have for women..." Sun Zhengdao shouted, his eyes red and his neck thick.
"Wait!" Zhou Yang raised his hand to stop the other person: "What kind of knife were you talking about?"
"About Widow He's knife, her family sells those little farm tools and trinkets at a stall, and she lost one back then..." As he spoke, Sun Zhengdao's eyes widened: "Sun Yan, it's Sun Yan, it's definitely him!"
According to him, his younger brother found Sun Yan suspicious while he was "scouting" the area, so he followed him for a while. He then discovered that Sun Yan seemed to have thrown something into a small pond not far from the street, which he now realizes was definitely a murder weapon.
Zhou Yang saw that the other party didn't seem to be lying, and didn't have time to think about why such a coincidence would happen.
After informing the bureau, he asked Sun Zhengdao to lead him to find the henchman.
It turned out that what the other party said was, if not completely different from what Sun Zhengdao said, at least very different.
According to the younger man, he did see Sun Yan in the Ping'an Street area that night. Everyone knew that Sun Yan and Sun Weixin were inseparable during that period, so he had a vulgar thought that the two of them might be dating the same woman.
Out of curiosity, he followed them for a while, but eventually found out that they had just gone to take a bath in the small pond, so he got bored and left.
"You son of a bitch, is that what you told me?" Sun Zhengdao's face turned red as he shouted.
The younger man smiled sheepishly and said, "Isn't this how everyone brags? I just exaggerated a little..."
"A little?" Sun Zhengdao stammered, as if his tail had been stepped on. "Didn't you say you were going to throw things into the pond? Now it's turned into taking a bath..."
"Throw it away!" The younger brother's eyes lit up. "Throw away the clothes, I saw him leave shirtless..."
Zhou Yang was taken aback upon hearing this: "Take me to that small pond!"
Based on the wounds on Sun Weixin's neck, it's impossible for the killer to be completely free of blood. If what this person said is true, then there can only be one explanation!
