Chapter Twenty-Four: The Manor Disaster

Qiu Wu is still a man, he was stunned when he injured his left leg, and he was relieved after staying in the hospital for a day, he knew that someone would interrogate him soon, and sure enough, in the afternoon, Wang Ning took someone to pull him back from the hospital to the interrogation room of the "Second Criminal Investigation Department", and it didn't take long for Zheng Guoqiang and Li Nuo to come in and sit opposite him, but Zheng Guoqiang did not interrogate immediately, but looked at him with a smile for a long time.

Qiu Wu stared at the two interrogators without speaking, and the expression on his face was unusually calm. Ten minutes later, Li Nuo put the tape recorder and notebook on the table, Zheng Guoqiang played with his mobile phone and still didn't mean to interrogate him, Qiu Wu laughed and took the lead in speaking: Hey! Trial? What are you waiting for, I'll cooperate with you.

Zheng Guoqiang asked: Have you thought about it?

Qiu Wu said: Think about it, I will not deny it when I have reached this point, there is no point in tossing blindly, you have a way to make me have a nervous breakdown, it is better to wait for the verdict to worry, it is better to die happily in prison for 20 years, anyway, I can no longer enjoy the rich and noble days before, I am as boring to live as a dog, and I die early and live early.

Zheng Guoqiang asked with a smile: How did you know that you would be in prison for 20 years?

Qiu Wu said: Guess, I want you to shoot me, I'm afraid of going to jail.

Liu Guanghui, who was watching the battle next door, smoked a cigarette and drank tea, admiring Zheng Guoqiang's methods. Zheng Guoqiang asked: Qiu Wu, you are used to living a rich and noble life, you must not be tortured, especially if you lose your dignity and toss like a leper dog, we still respect each other, I don't ask you, you tell the process of what you think is a crime, what do you think?

Qiu Wu said: I don't know where to start with such a thing, you better ask first, what you are anxious to know.

Zheng Guoqiang said: Okay, then I'll find a starting point first, let me ask you, where did you kidnap singer Gao Hong with Tonga on April 7 last year?

Qiu Wu was not panicked at all, he said: Now I tell the truth, I killed her and buried her in the well.

Zheng Guoqiang said: Why did you kill her? Let's start with that.

Qiu Wu thought for a while and said: Okay, I like mutual respect, I'll start with the singer Gao Hong, although she is the beginning of the whole story, but it is only a focus, although she detonated the guilt of privacy, but the beginning of the story has to start with another thing. Do you remember the fire at Luanshan Manor on the night of the Chinese New Year on February 22, 2016? It's the story that begins.

On February 22, 2016, the day of the Chinese New Year's Day, a northwest wind blew and a cold light rain fell as soon as it was dark. At more than 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, the only private manor "Luanshan Manor" in the Luanshan Scenic Area 50 kilometers southwest of Luancheng ignited a fire, the fire burned more and more vigorously by the wind, and half of the night was reflected in the fire red when looking westward, and the fire burned for half a night, and when the fire department personnel arrived, the whole manor had been burned to the ground, the house collapsed, and the wall was broken. The fire was not extinguished until dawn, and two bodies were found under the burned rubble. Murong Bin, Zheng Guoqiang, Gao Gao, Li Nuo and Tang Wan hurried to the scene, and then Wang Huaimin and Liang Hao of the "Security Brigade" also rushed to the scene.

The scene of the fire was a mess, the original antique "Luanshan Manor" was all burned down, and two bodies were parked outside the broken manor wall, and two managers of the Luanhe Scenic Area told Zheng Guoqiang that the bodies were Qian Gui, the owner of the manor, and his wife Lan Guifang. Tang Wan examined the corpse and confirmed that a man and a woman were both about 70 years old, although Qian Gui and Mrs. Lan died in the fire, they were not all burned, the two old men died by inhaling a large amount of carbon monoxide, and there were no external injuries on the corpse, and there were no signs of poisoning, so as to conclude that there was no external force to cause death, that is, the possibility of homicide was ruled out.

In the first month of 2016, the media all reported the news of the fire in Luanshan Manor, and the "Luancheng Evening News" wrote: In the middle of the night of the Chinese New Year Festival on February 22, "Luanshan Manor" was accidentally caught in a fire due to the kitchen not turning off the gas and the aging of the wires suddenly encountered lightning and lightning, and the two old people who were burned to death were Qian Gui and his wife Mrs. Lan, and the two had a daughter who had immigrated to Canada.

But the truth is not that this is the case, the fire is not a so-called gas leak caused by lightning, but a man-made disaster, a premeditated robbery, murder, arson. The criminals who caused this tragedy are Qiu Wu, Ji Liang and Tong Jiayi. At noon on February 22, 2016, Qiu Wu was drinking tea with Ji Liang, and Tonga hurriedly came in and said: Brother Wu, you heard right, Qian Gui really has an ancient painting, his driver overheard him call his daughter to talk about this ancient painting, the ancient painting is called "Shuangsuo Tu", it is said to be worth hundreds of millions, he bought this ancient painting because he couldn't go abroad with cash, let alone transfer money from the bank, because his money bank has filed for bankruptcy, if the shareholders knew that he had so much money and would sue him, he wanted to put the money away, That's why I bought antiques and prepared to flee to Canada.

Qiu Wu hurriedly asked with a blank face: The point?

Tonga said: Qian Gui driver said that this old thing has been negotiated with a buyer in Linxian County "Poly Money" price, may be signed in recent days, and then the two of them went to Canada to find their daughter, today he put all the valuable things stored in the money village home, a whole car, including this ancient painting, there may be gold bars, if we don't do it again, I'm afraid it's too late.

The "Luanshan Coal Mine" has borrowed as much as 100 million yuan in the "Poly Money Village", and these days Qian Gui has been forcing Qiu Wu to repay the loan, and said that if the loan interest of 100 million yuan is not repaid on time, it will be changed back to the interest rate standard before the "best interest rate" and handed over to the buyer, in which case the "Luanshan Coal Mine" will lose nearly 4 million yuan. Qiu Wu has been dragging on and not paying it back, and he has long had the intention to pay off the high interest on the money, and 4 million is not a decimal number.

Qiu Wu asked: Have we changed the interest rate of the old thing?

Ji Liang said: Not yet, today he called me and said that if I don't pay it back tomorrow, I will change it, and the difference will be 4 million after the change, brother, let's do it tonight, right?

Qiu Wu gritted his teeth and said: Don't blame us for doing things desperately, it was the old thing that forced us to do it, okay, let's do it tonight, prepare all the guys we need, and set off at 11 o'clock in the evening.

At 11:20 that night, Qiu Wu and Tonga drove a Toyota off-road vehicle with a fake license plate to the Luanshan Scenic Area quietly, and Ji Liang also drove a hatchback Xiali car with a fake license plate from the Coal Mine Guest House, but the two cars did not go the same way, and went to the Luanshan Scenic Area from the West Outer Ring Road and the East Outer Ring respectively.

"Luanshan Manor" is located in the southwest scenic spot 50 kilometers away from Luancheng on the mountainside, the Luanshan mountain range is more than 800 miles long, the mountain where Luancheng is located is wide and rugged, the whole scenic area is covered by dense woods, there are three temples and a reservoir on the mountainside, two oil roads are divided into east and west sides to surround the mountain, and finally intersect at the foot of the "Luanhe Reservoir". "Luanshan Manor" is in the middle of the east and west roads, it is also a historic site to visit in Luanshan, but this manor is only a small building of blue bricks and green tiles, it is hidden in the forest and the environment is particularly elegant, according to records, "Luanshan Manor" is purely the private property of the Qian family.

"Poly Money" is located in the prosperous area of Luancheng, similar to private banks lending and collecting interest, is the Qian family family generational family business, according to legend, this money village has a history of more than 500 years, Qian Gui is the seventh generation, in Luancheng is also a famous person, family property of hundreds of millions. Qian Gui and Mrs. Lan have only one daughter, and they have not returned to China since they went to Canada to study a few years ago. In recent years, due to poor management, "Poly Bank" is facing the dilemma of bankruptcy, Qian Gui in order to keep the little money left in the house from last year to sell the bank, at the beginning of the year with a large family in Linxian County to negotiate the price, and so on after the sale of the two with the money to Canada to find their daughter.

On the afternoon of February 22, 2016, Qian Gui quietly brought home 100 gold bricks and a famous painting "Shuangsuo Tu" stored in the vault of Qianzhuang, and the two of them were busy until 8 o'clock in the evening before putting 100 gold bricks into two trolley boxes, each trolley box containing 500 pieces. Everything was cleaned up, and Mrs. Lan made a phone call to her daughter, and then went to bed, and because she was tired enough, the two of them lay down and fell asleep.

At 1 o'clock in the night, Qiu Wu, Tong Jiayi and Ji Liang jumped over the wall into the backyard of the manor. Ji Liang stood guard outside the three-story small building with blue bricks and green tiles, Qiu Wu and Tongjia climbed into the small building from the window and went up to the second floor lightly, peeping into the bedroom through the window, and saw that the two people lying on the bed seemed to have fallen asleep, the two gently pried open the door and sneaked into the room to see that Qian Gui and Mrs. Lan were sleeping soundly, Qiu Wu glanced at Tonga, and at the same time covered the anesthetic-soaked towel on the mouth and nose of the two, and Qian Gui and his wife passed out before they could struggle.

Qiu Wu and Tonga didn't have much effort to find the two trolley boxes from under the bed, and when they opened them, they were full of gold bricks, plus two halves of ancient paintings, and they each carried a trolley box downstairs. When he arrived downstairs, Tonga handed over the trolley box to Ji Liang and turned around and returned to the building, he entered the kitchen, lit a plate of mosquito coils in the corner of the wall, then opened the gas valve, closed the doors and windows tightly, and jumped out quickly, and the three of them climbed out of the yard from the back wall again, and ran into the woods with their waists

Tonga said: If the mosquito coil is lit, it is estimated that it can burn for half an hour, and when the kitchen gas rises to a certain concentration, it will cause an explosion, and the manor will be burned out.

Ji Liang sighed and said: It's a pity that these centuries of monuments are gone.

Qiu Wu asked: Will it definitely be able to lead a fire? Shall we wait and see?

Tongayi replied: No, it will definitely burn, we used to blow up coal holes in the underground like this, how could there be a timing device at that time, I estimate that it will explode in half an hour at most, let's hurry up and avoid encountering people who come up to fight the fire
