As for what business the company does, Chen Yuzhen is not very clear, she only knows that the company is engaged in smuggling and trafficking of wild protected animals, and knowing this, she also saw it inadvertently, but even if she saw it, she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, and she didn't think it was a crime.

Now, with the development of people's economy, life is getting better and better, and the requirements for life are getting higher and higher, eating, clothing, housing, and transportation, in terms of food, many people want to try new things, such as eating dog meat, eating rat meat and other novel things, and when Chen Yuzhen was young, because the family was poor, they couldn't eat, everything that could be eaten, they had tried to eat, so she didn't think it was a crime for the smuggling and trafficking of wild protected animals, not to mention, she didn't have to do anything, You can also get a share of the money, why not do it, anyway, it's not the people who sell it.

About more than a year ago, after Changkuai Transportation Company was completely on the right track, Chen Qiumin suddenly chose to leave Changkuai Company and chose to live in Fuyuan Hotel in Chengbei District, no one knew what he was thinking.

When Chen Qiumin first checked into the Fuyuan Hotel, Song Jinzhong and his wife went to find Chen Qiumin together, and there was a violent quarrel between the two parties, what exactly was quarreled, Chen Yuzhen didn't know, but she knew that since that quarrel, Song Jinzhong had never gone to Chen Qiumin again, as for Chen Yuzhen and several of them, Chen Qiumin didn't let them go.

Chen Qiumin did not know why she left Changkuai Company and chose to live in Fuyuan Hotel, but the company's business was getting better and better, and she got more and more money, and began to shop frantically to meet all her material needs.

After listening to Chen Yuzhen's confession, Xu Lang pondered for a moment and asked, "Aren't you curious about what business Chen Qiumin and the others are engaged in?" ”

Chen Yuzhen shook her head and said: "I'm not curious, I've been with them since I was a child, and I will follow what they do, and most of the time, they won't let me do anything, since Chen Qiumin took us to S City and started making money, since there is money to take, and they don't tell me what they are doing, I don't need to ask, I don't want to know, besides, I can't do many things well, anyway, I can only get money, and other things have nothing to do with me." ”

"How much do you know about Smooth Transportation?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.

"I don't know much, I only know that Song Jinzhong is the nominal boss of Changkuai Company, he is Chen Zhen's brother-in-law, and Chen Zhen is the manager of the company, as for what they are doing, I really don't know." Chen Yuzhen said.

Hearing this, Xu Lang and Ding Haoqiong glanced at each other, obviously, they didn't quite believe what Chen Yuzhen said, but there was no evidence to prove that she knew what Chen Zhen and they did.

However, according to Chen Yuzhen's confession, Xu Lang and the others had a lot of information that they had not mastered before.

First, Chen Qiumin and Chen Zhen are a gang composed of peers from the same village, Chen Qiumin is the boss of the gang, and Chen Zhen is just a military advisor, which is different from Xu Lang's speculation after meeting Chen Zhen.

Second, Chen Zhen and the others are indeed engaged in smuggling and selling wild protected animals, which has been established before, and now, Chen Yuzhen's confession is only a further confirmation of this matter.

Third, although Chen Yuzhen doesn't know much about the affairs of Changkuai Company, Xu Lang can be sure that the smuggling and trafficking of wild protected animals is definitely not something that Chen Qiumin and a few young people can play, first of all, Song Jinzhong is so much older than them, but he is willing to follow them to do things together, which is very abnormal, not to mention, the people in several other positions in Changkuai Company, they are older than Chen Qiumin and they have more social experience, it is obvious that Changkuai Company can make crazy profits in a short period of time, There must be others behind it.

"How much do you know about Chen Qiumin?" Xu Lang asked.

"I know everything about him when he was a child, and as for what happened after he came to S City, I don't know much." Chen Yuzhen said.

"What kind of person is Chen Qiumin?"

"How to say it, Chen Qiumin has been very fat since he was a child, and his temper is also very weird, and he is full of curiosity about all new things, in addition, he is actually very smart, don't look at him so fat, he does everything in advance, we just need to do things according to his plan."

Hearing Chen Yuzhen say this, Xu Lang frowned.

Chen Yuzhen's evaluation of Chen Qiumin is very different from Xu Lang's previous survey results.

"Why are you willing to play with Chen Qiumin?" Xu Lang asked again.

"Chen Qiumin is very smart, and he can always take us to discover new things together, and I think it's very interesting to play with him, as for what other people think, I don't know."

"That's right." Xu Lang pinched his chin with one hand and muttered to himself.

"Oh, by the way, and the main thing is that he has a good relationship with the uncle."

"Uncle? You're talking about Uncle Li, right? Xu Lang was stunned for a moment, and then asked.

"Yes, what, you know that Uncle Li is Uncle Li, have you seen it?" Chen Yuzhen was also stunned and asked rhetorically.

Xu Lang did not answer Chen Yuzhen's question, but asked, "What kind of person is Uncle Li?" ”

Chen Yuzhen did not answer this question immediately, but pondered

After a while, Xu Lang was not in a hurry, did not urge, but waited patiently.

"Uncle's status in our village is very special and strange." Chen Yuzhen said with a frown.

"Special? Odd? How special and weird is it? Xu Lang hurriedly asked.

"I can't say the specifics, when I was very young, my uncle was in our village, he had no wife, no children, he lived alone in the innermost part of the village, my deepest impression of him is that this person likes to smoke dry tobacco, and is indifferent to everyone, cold, like a living dead."

"What's so special and strange about this?" Xu Lang frowned and said suspiciously.

"However, the people in the village respect him very much, or fear him, when I was young, the village was very poor, but the uncle was always able to let us eat, and once something happened in the village, whether it was the village chief or the secretary, they would go to the uncle to discuss, and they almost obeyed the uncle's words." Chen Yuzhen said slowly.

"What's Uncle's name?" Xu Lang asked.

"I don't know what it's called, I only hear the older generation call him Uncle Li."

"And what's his last name? Is it the same surname as yours? Xu Lang asked again.

Chen Yuzhen shook her head and said, "I don't know, I once asked Chen Zhen about them, and they don't seem to know, the only one who knows Uncle Li's surname or something, it seems that only Chen Qiumin is there." ”

"Chen Qiumin knows? They have a good relationship? ”

"Well, the uncle doesn't have a good face for anyone, but treats Chen Qiumin differently, when we were young, the uncle often took Chen Qiumin to play around the village and taught Chen Qiumin a lot of things."

"Why is their relationship so good?"

"I don't know, but I heard it by chance, it seems that the uncle and Chen Qiumin's grandfather are good friends, and they are very good."

"That's right."

Xu Lang fell into deep thought.

Xu Lang went to Chenjiahe Village this time, in addition to seeing the village chief Chen Weiguo, he also saw Uncle Li, when he saw Uncle Li, Xu Lang felt that this person put a lot of pressure on him, and Chen Yuzhen was not wrong, Uncle Li did not have too much breath of a living person, he really looked like a living dead, and there was no expression on his face, especially the eyes that had become cloudy because of his age, and when he looked at Xu Lang, there was always a cold light, which made Xu Lang feel creepy.

Putting aside a series of changes that happened in Chenjiahe Village, when Xu Lang saw Uncle Li, he felt that Uncle Li was like an ancient soldier, crawling out of the pile of dead people, Xu Lang felt that Uncle Li must have killed people, and there was more than one person, of course, this was just a feeling of Xu Lang when he saw Uncle Li, as for whether the real situation was like this, Xu Lang was not sure.

Thinking of this, Xu Lang suddenly remembered another thing, that is, about Chen Qiumin's grandfather.

Chen Qiumin's grandfather used to be a soldier and went to the battlefield, but because of the war, he became disabled, and later, after returning to Chenjiahe Village, he never left.

Since Chen Qiumin's grandfather was a soldier and fought in a war, if Uncle Li has a good relationship with Chen Qiumin's grandfather, has he also been on the battlefield?

If this is really the case, then the strange feeling that Xu Lang felt in Uncle Li can be explained, people who have been on the battlefield and experienced the baptism of artillery fire and blood will be different from ordinary people, most of the murderers, when they kill people, the moment they see blood, they will instinctively feel fear and disgust, of course, except for those perverted murderers, and people who have experienced the baptism of blood, they will not treat life, especially human life, or say, They have adapted to death.

Just like when Xu Lang shot and killed the prisoner for the first time, when the bullet hit the gangster's head, scarlet blood mixed with white brain plasma splashed out, Xu Lang felt disgusting, fearful, and afraid, but, as time went by, he faced more and more dangers, when arresting the prisoner, facing the arrest of the prisoner, Xu Lang could shoot calmly and not tremble again, although he would feel uncomfortable in his heart, but he had adapted to it.

The battlefield is a meat grinder, death, on the battlefield is the most common and common thing, when facing the enemy, if you want to live, the only way is to kill the other party, on the battlefield, especially in the wars of the last century, there is no morality and law to speak of, let alone humanity to talk about, if you want to live, there is no other way but to resist.

Of course, now is the era of peace, and the war has long been a thing of the past, but although the war is over, the people who participated in the war back then are still alive, Chen Qiumin's grandfather participated in the war and survived on the battlefield, but now he has died, and what about Uncle Li? Has he ever been on the battlefield? If that's the case, then the problem becomes serious.

"Does Chen Qiumin have a habit of eating people?" Xu Lang asked after being silent for a long time.

"Huh? Cannibalism? No way, to say that he eats something strange, I believe, cannibalism should be impossible. ”

When Chen Yuzhen said this, she seemed to remember something, frowned, and added with some uncertainty: "However, with Chen Qiumin's character, it is not impossible to eat people." ”

"Why do you say that?" Xu Lang asked.

"It started when I was a child......

old

When Qiu Min first started, he was actually not that fat, his grandfather was still alive, and his grandfather often took him to the mountains around the village, which was actually no different from ordinary rural old people.

In the countryside, snakes, pheasants, mice, frogs and toads are very common, Chen Qiumin's grandfather often took Chen Qiumin to the mountains to catch these animals, and then, take them home, peel the skin and cramp, and cook, and Chen Qiumin always eat with relish, in the future, Chen Qiumin often took Chen Yuzhen and them to the big river in front of the village to play.

At that time, the big river was not what Xu Lang and they saw, in the river, there were still a lot of fish, crabs and other things, Chen Qiumin often caught fish and crabs and other animals, on the shore to make a small earthen stove, make a fire to roast and eat, although the taste is not very good, but it can still be eaten.

Later, after Chen Qiumin's grandfather died, Chen Qiumin changed a lot, and his body suddenly began to gain weight, although he still looked the same as before, but his methods of treating those animals became more and more cruel, such as eating crabs raw, such as catching some wild cats, and directly beating them to death, in short, Chen Qiumin After his grandfather died, the whole person changed a lot, and people became more and more gloomy.

Before they left Chenjiahe Village, Chen Yuzhen saw that Chen Qiumin had eaten many animals, some of which were still eaten raw, which made Chen Yuzhen feel incredible, but he didn't think much about it.

When they came to S City, after founding Chang Kuai Company, he was a lot more normal, but since he went to live in Fuyuan Hotel, Chen Yuzhen found that Chen Wang would always get some strange animals, cook them, and send them to Fuyuan Hotel, however, at that time, Chen Yuzhen and Chen Qiumin had no direct contact, and they didn't think much about it, and now, when Xu Lang said that Chen Qiumin eats people, she felt incredible at first, but, thinking about it carefully, she also felt that it was not impossible.

After hearing what Chen Yuzhen said, Xu Lang frowned.

After a while, Xu Lang asked, "Did you kill Chen Wang?" ”

Chen Yuzhen shook her head and said, "I know about Chen Wang's death, but I didn't kill him. ”

"Who killed that?" Xu Lang asked.

"This... This ......"

Chen Yuzhen suddenly hesitated.

"Chen Yuzhen, when it comes to this, what else do you want to hide?" Ding Haoqiong suddenly spoke.

Chen Yuzhen raised her head and glanced at Ding Haoqiong who was speaking, then looked at Xu Lang, lowered her head and said: "After Chen Qiumin was killed, we knew about it, and we also knew that you would definitely go to Chenjiahe Village to investigate. ”

"Where did we meet?"

"Room 1503 in the hotel."

"Who are you meeting with? What do you do when you meet? ”

"There is me, as well as Chen Zhen, Chen Wang, Chen Shan and Chen Qiang, and they met to discuss what to do next."

"Chen Qiang is also there?" Xu Lang asked with a frown.

Chen Yuzhen nodded and said, "He rushed to S City that night to pass the word on behalf of the uncle." ”

"What do you say?"

"Let's suspend our business now and wait until the limelight is over."

"And then?"

"For the uncle's order, we didn't dare to disobey, so we naturally agreed, but Chen Wang was worried that the police would find him because he had been to the Fuyuan Hotel and looked for Chen Qiumin, so he was very scared, and proposed to break up the gang and share the money, and then run away, he has been very timid since he was a child, and he is the most greedy and afraid of death."

"So, you killed him?" Xu Lang asked.

"No, Chen Wang and Chen Zhen had a violent quarrel, and in the end, he left early, and when he left, let Chen Zhen give him his share of the money, and he was ready to run away."

"And then?"

"Then, Chen Qiang and I also left, leaving only Chen Zhen and Chen Shan in the room, I don't know where they are doing anything, however, I can detect that Chen Zhen has murderous intentions towards Chen Wang, and sure enough, the next day, Chen Wang died, and the body was quickly discovered by your police."

"So, Chen Wang was killed by Chen Zhen and Chen Shan?"

"I'm not sure about this."

"What about Chen Shan? Where is he now? ”

Chen Yuzhen shook his head and said: "I don't know, on the second day after Chen Wang was killed, the uncle came to S City, scolded us, and asked us to be honest recently, and then, he left, Chen Shan also disappeared at some time, as for where he went, I don't know, it is likely that he went back to the village with the uncle." ”

Hearing this, Xu Lang's expression became more and more solemn.

Chen Zhen, Chen Yuzhen and Chen Bo were all arrested, and Chen Qiang should have fled with Chen Weiguo, among the seven of them, Chen Qiumin and Chen Wang have been killed, and there are only two people left, Chen Qiang and Chen Shan, Chen Qiang's whereabouts are basically determined, as long as the special police find Chen Weiguo and them, they should be able to find Chen Qiang, but where is Chen Shan now?

In Chenjiahe Village, Xu Lang didn't see Chen Shan, and when Chen Zhen and they were arrested, Chen Shan was not with them, obviously, Chen Shan was the only one of the seven of them who didn't know their specific whereabouts, could it be that Chen Shan had been killed?

Xu Lang fell into contemplation again.
