Chapter 65 Gong Xiaojun's Victims!
Chapter 65 Gong Xiaojun's Victims!
Based on the current investigation results, it can be said that the death of someone like Gong Xiaojun is entirely justified. If this murderer were in ancient times, he would be considered to have rid the people of a scourge.
Gong Xiaojun was expelled and transferred schools six times for reasons such as fighting, talking back to teachers, skipping classes by climbing over walls, and teasing female classmates.
Although Gong Hongxing was successful in business after venturing into entrepreneurship, his son left him feeling helpless.
Finally, the shocking Q-tip case brought an end to the dreams of Gong Hongxing and his wife for their son to succeed.
During the morning, the two visited several schools in Ning'an. Upon hearing the name Gong Xiaojun, the teachers shook their heads, looking as if they were embarrassed to mention it.
They had so many complaints and grievances in their hearts, but their professional ethics as teachers prevented them from speaking out.
In many entertainment venues, whether it's billiards, video rental shops, or nightclubs, when Gong Xiaojun is mentioned, people always say he's rich and knows how to have fun.
Employees who once worked at Baiweishi Food Factory (now closed) have nothing good to say about Gong Xiaojun; he's truly someone even dogs would dislike.
Leaving all that aside for now, the police station's written records alone contain a whole page of all sorts of messy criminal records about Gong Xiaojun, including disorderly conduct, fighting, and street rioting.
"Zhou Yang, how do we narrow down our scope?" Fang Duo looked at the notebook filled with all sorts of incriminating information, then turned to Zhou Yang with a wry smile.
"From the perspective of case characterization! We previously defined it as a revenge killing, so let's first categorize it by time, find those long-term and deep-seated hatreds, then extend that time frame, list out Gong Xiaojun's excessive behavior beyond his age, and find those who were harmed..."
Looking at Zhou Yang's serious analysis, Fang Duo felt like her brain wasn't processing her information.
Is this what you asked?
What I mean is that Gong Xiaojun, despite his young age, has so many flaws, yet his partner is so quick and insightful in his analysis.
"Yang, do you have a girlfriend?"
"Uh! No!" Zhou Yang choked, not understanding how the conversation about investigating the case had turned into the topic of his girlfriend. Why was women's thought process so strange?
"I guessed no!" Fang Duo pouted. "You sound like an old scholar. Liu Da should call you Brother Yang, and we should call you Uncle Yang!"
"Wow," Zhou Yang exclaimed, "So that's what it means."
However, if we're being really strict, my mental age is actually over fifty.
Just then, Zhou Yang happened to pass by a shop that was under renovation. He looked at his youthful face in the mirror in front of the shop, rubbed it hard, and forced a smile—investigating cases requires experience, but you have to keep a youthful mindset!
"In terms of time, the furthest is ten years ago when Gong Xiaojun beat up a classmate, causing irreversible damage to the classmate's eyesight. Then there was eight years ago when he organized a motorcycle gang to disrupt traffic, causing the person in the ambulance to die because they missed the best time for treatment. There was also the robbery case five years ago, and the obstruction of construction three years ago..."
As soon as she reached the car, Fang Duo took out the four cases that she had arranged in chronological order.
"Let's start with the earliest incident of beating up a classmate!" Zhou Yang thought for a moment and finally decided.
In fact, according to his thinking, this and the last one were the least worthwhile to go to, because both of them could be settled with money, and Gong Hongxing had no shortage of money!
The report at the time stated that the person suffered visual impairment due to negligence.
Three years ago, this obstruction of construction kept the site from operating for a week. Although the losses were considerable, there were no casualties, so for Gong Hongxing, an entrepreneur, it was nothing.
He was not the mastermind behind the ambulance incident, except for that one.
In the Q-Tip case, Gong Xiaojun simply denied everything!
Of the two cases, Zhou Yang felt that the one that should be investigated the most was the one that needed to be investigated the most.
But if we eliminate those two cases first, we'll only get closer to the answer!
Zhou Yang himself only uses experience to make judgments, but he would never use experience to seek shortcuts. Case handling is different from other things. Sometimes, a small mistake can lead to results that are further and further away from the answer. The worst thing in case handling is to save effort. Anyone who tries to save effort will end up having to put in a lot of effort!
Half an hour later, the two met Tian Mingming, the victim from ten years ago, at a shop on the street.
"Hello, what brand are you looking for? We have domestic brands like Huasheng, Xinsheng, and Erduo, as well as Danish Oticon and German Siemens, but those are a bit more expensive..."
As soon as Zhou Yang and Fang Duo entered the room, they saw a man in his twenties behind the counter.
When the man speaks, he habitually tilts his head and twists his neck, as if he is speaking from the top of his head. At the same time, he is also gesturing in sign language with his hands.
"Hello, we are from Ning'an City Public Security Bureau. We would like to speak with Mr. Tian to inquire about the situation!" Fang Duo greeted them with a smile and then showed them her identification.
"I wouldn't call myself a boss. If the boss you're looking for is named Tian Mingming, then I should be the boss!" Tian Mingming chuckled as he placed two enamel mugs on the counter, then bent down and picked up a tea bottle from beside his feet.
Without a word from either of them, he poured two cups of hot water: "I haven't made a single sale today. If I can't even serve tea, then this business really can't continue!"
The two chuckled upon hearing this, and had no choice but to get up, pick it up, and place it in front of them.
"Boss Tian, do you still remember Gong Xiaojun?" Fang Duo opened her notebook and began to learn about the situation.
"I know him!" Tian Mingming nodded. "Look at my eye; that's where he and his men beat me up!"
Clearly, Fang Duo was well-versed in interrogation techniques: "Is there no cure? This was too ruthless!"
Unexpectedly, Tian Mingming simply shook her head: "We were all young back then, and we didn't know our own strength. It was impossible to cure back then. It's a bit better now, but I still have one!"
Zhou Yang frowned as he looked at the other person, feeling that this person was somewhat unreal. Logically speaking, being made into a "one-eyed dragon" should not result in such an indifferent or optimistic attitude.
"With the vision in this eye, do you think it's worth it to switch to this shop?" Tian Mingming looked at the two of them, and Zhou Yang could clearly see the emptiness in one of his eyes.
However, he did not answer the other person's question: "What made you decide to get this kind of hearing aid?"
"Actually, I initially wanted to open an eyeglasses shop, but I didn't want to face my past memories all the time. In the end, I found that this business requires less capital, has higher profits, so I chose it!" Tian Mingming said, her eyes scanning the several counters in the room, which were full of all kinds of hearing aids.
"As for funds..." Fang Duo tentatively asked.
"It was given to me by the Gong family; they owe me!" Tian Mingming didn't shy away from this and readily admitted it.
"When was the last time you saw Gong Xiaojun?" Fang Duo took out a pen and wrote it down in her notebook.
"...A week ago!" Tian Mingming rubbed her chin with her fingers, then nodded to confirm, "Yes, a week ago!"
"So, he's here?"
"Apologize!" Tian Mingming sneered. "Before, you came to threaten and rob me. Last time, you came to apologize. This is the first time!"
