Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 1423: Hunting Crime + Fireworks 48

After hurriedly finishing their late lunch, everyone gathered together to continue discussing the case.

Shen Yi spent some time restoring the three photos, which were: Ceramics Gallery, Script Killing, and Auto Repair Shop.

After further investigation, Li Han identified two of the places: "Guanyu Ceramics Museum and Maili Auto Repair Factory. Based on these, I found a case of arson by minors at Haisu Internet Cafe a few years ago. One of the three murderers at the time, Ruan Fangfang, ran this Guanyu Ceramics Museum."

Li Han briefly described the Haisu Internet Cafe arson case: "The owner of Haisu Internet Cafe closed the iron gate to avoid surprise inspections. Ruan Fangfang, Hao Ziqiang and Huang Tao set fire to the sundries in the Internet Cafe as a prank to retaliate against the owner, resulting in the deaths of 15 people including the owner."

"Afterwards, Hao Ziqiang and Huang Tao were arrested and tried according to law, and have now completed their sentences. However, Ruan Fangfang was not sentenced because she was under the age of 14 at the time of the crime."

He Rongyue also had further examination results: "Based on the wound, it is estimated that the murder weapon was a sharp weapon with a single blade, 15 centimeters long and 5 centimeters wide."

"From the angle and strength of the murderer, the deceased was lying on the ground at the time."

"We didn't find the murder weapon, fingerprints, or shoe prints at the scene. The scene had been deliberately cleaned. The semen stain on the sofa came from the deceased. We didn't find the bed sheet, which may have been taken away by the murderer. There were only two bloody shoe prints on the mat at the door, size 45."

So the only useful clues at the moment are Ruan Fangfang, Hao Ziqiang, Huang Tao, and Song Minjie, who the deceased had contacted the day before.

The troops were divided into two groups. Li Han and Jiang Feng went to find Song Minjie, while Du Cheng took Shen Yi and Xu Qin to find Ruan Fangfang, Hao Ziqiang and Huang Tao.

The closest place to the police station was the Maili Auto Repair Shop, where Hao Ziqiang worked. When the police arrived, Hao Ziqiang and Huang Tao were being surrounded by people.

Du Cheng quickly shouted: "What are you doing? Police!"

After pushing aside the crowd, everyone saw that there was another person named Ruan Fangfang among the people who were surrounded.

The troublemaker and Ruan Fangfang were taken back to the police station for questioning. Hao Ziqiang looked mentally unstable and kept muttering things like "don't go back", "I need to fix the car", and "I need to pay Fangfang back". Du Cheng and Jiang Feng didn't get anything out of him.

Hao Ziqiang didn't even react much to the questions from Du Cheng and Jiang Feng. He just kept repeating what he said, and at most said "Fangfang is a good person" a few times.

Compared to Hao Ziqiang, Huang Tao seemed much more normal. Jiang Feng took out Dong Yici's photo and asked, "Do you know this person? He is a private detective who has followed you."

Huang Tao looked at Dong Yici's photo, his eyes full of grievance and anger, "I know him, his name is Dong Yici, he was the one who used those photos to blackmail us and asked us to give him money."

Jiang Feng took back Dong Yici's photo and asked, "He asked for it, so you gave it to him?"

Huang Tao gritted his teeth and said, "He said if we didn't pay him, he would send those photos to the families of the deceased, so that we wouldn't have peace. We had no choice but to go to him with the money, but we didn't expect that bastard to go back on his word!"

"We all gave him money, but he suddenly changed his mind and refused to delete the photos!"

Jiang Feng asked: "So, you guys are just going to kill him?"

"No! We didn't kill anyone!" Huang Tao felt aggrieved. "We just stole his phone and deleted all the photos. We didn't kill anyone at all!"

"He suddenly changed his mind, so we just stole the phone and didn't kill anyone!"

Du Cheng took out a photo of a canvas bag containing cash and handed it to Huang Tao. "Is this the bag you use to store your money?"

Huang Tao took a look and nodded, "It's this bag. We all paid for it, but that bastard went back on his word, so we stole the phone!"

Du Cheng didn't care how excited Huang Tao was, but asked: "Fifty thousand yuan is not a small amount. You and Hao Ziqiang just came out. Where did you get so much money?"

Hearing this question, Huang Tao calmed down a bit, but he no longer dared to look up at Du Cheng and Jiang Feng. Instead, he stared at his hands for a long while before he stammered, "We put it together..."

Du Cheng asked with a little surprise: "How did you get together?"

Huang Tao began to pinch his fingers, obviously getting nervous, "Hao Ziqiang has no money at all, I tried to collect more than 10,000 yuan..."

Jiang Feng asked, "It's only over 10,000, isn't that a bit too much?"

Huang Tao quickly looked up at Du Cheng, his tone became depressed, and he was full of regret as soon as he opened his mouth: "As soon as I got out, I contacted Fangfang. I just wanted to know how she was doing, but I didn't expect that guy Dong Yici to follow us and expose Fangfang instead!"

"Fangfang is a good person. She is really very nice. Not only did she not blame us, she also helped us collect the money."

"It's all the fault of that bastard Dong Yici!"

"If he hadn't threatened us, if he hadn't gone back on his word..."

At this point, Huang Tao suddenly became excited again. He looked straight at Du Cheng and Jiang Feng and pleaded earnestly, "Police comrade, Fangfang is completely innocent. She was just implicated by us. She really doesn't know anything!"

On the other side, Xu Qin and Li Han were responsible for interrogating Ruan Fangfang.

Li Han played the call recording restored from Dong Yici's phone to Ruan Fangfang:

Dong Yici said, "Ruan Fangfang, you killed so many people, but you never spent a day in jail. You live a very carefree life outside."

"Tell me, what will happen if I post all three of your information online?"

"Fifty thousand is enough to buy you a happy life. Isn't that a good deal?"

Ruan Fangfang said: "How can I have so much money?"

Dong Yici smiled and said, "No money? You can sell it if you don't have money~"

Ruan Fangfang said: "I recorded it, I can call the police."

Dong Yici then began to threaten: "I know where you live, and I also know where the two bastards you are dating live. Find out, you are a murderer."

"Well, if you don't want to pay me, I will give all your information to Wang Hao."

Li Han turned off the recording. While listening to these things, Ruan Fangfang was very uneasy. She even showed obvious fear and disgust when she heard Dong Yici's voice.

Ruan Fangfang is short and thin. At this moment, she clenched her hands in front of her chest, as if this could protect her from all the dangers outside. However, her whole body still couldn't help shaking, just like a helpless fallen leaf in the autumn wind.

Xu Qin took a deep breath and asked Ruan Fangfang, "Why didn't you call the police when Dong Yichi was blackmailing you?"

Ruan Fangfang swallowed deeply, lowered her head and said: "...He molested me and took a lot of nude photos of me, and he got the addresses of the three of us..."

"I was thinking, Huang Tao and the others finally got out, and although they are still young, most of their lives have been ruined. If anything else happens, they will really..."

Li Han felt sorry for it, but Xu Qin sighed secretly and asked again: "So you went to see Dong Yici alone?"

Ruan Fangfang didn't seem to expect Xu Qin to pay more attention to this. She was slightly stunned and replied: "If Huang Tao and the others go to see Dong Yici, I'm afraid something will happen, so I'm going to see Dong Yici first to see if there is any other way."
