Chapter 65: Death without Regrets
A week after Fu's death, we intensively interrogated the victim who was cut by him, and contacted the owner and employees of the auction house that presided over the auction that year.
Of the five surviving victims, except for two who admitted that they participated in the auction at the time, the other three said that they did not know about it, and even at that time, they had not yet joined Fu's engineering company. The two people who participated also insisted that they were only appointed by the company to go to the scene to offer a sign, and they did not know whether Fu had bribes and criminal behavior. When I asked about the order of the day, both of them said that it was orderly, and the public prosecutors and the law were present, so they didn't think there was anything unusual.
I had no choice but to go to Ding Ling for verification, but at this time Ding Ling couldn't be contacted, I went to her company to find someone, and her colleague told her that he went abroad for maternity leave 10 days ago, and I don't know when I came back, and I don't know how to contact him. Her boss cooperated and gave a phone call, but the result was still unreachable.
On the other hand, the owner of Hongsheng Auction House has immigrated to Canada, and when asked about the events of the year, he kept silent, repeatedly emphasizing that he had given due care and compensation to the injured employees, so that in the end, even the company took it, and he didn't want to repeat the story, so let's ask others.
The other employees of the auction agency heard that Fu had died, and they all said that they did not know, did not hear, and did not participate, and even the clerk who provided clues for the kidnapping case at that time, when he went to find him, he insisted that he had not said it, and even if he did, he guessed and would not testify in court.
Helplessly, in such a situation, the police know very well that there must be a greater force behind the whole incident, trying to cover up the truth and let the matter end here with Fu. But the media will not easily let go of such a continuous and topical case, after all, after the kidnapping case of Ding Hong's daughter, there was a public slashing and murder incident, and then there was a tragic suicide incident.
Under pressure from the media, the high-level military inspectors issued an order requiring the police to submit key evidence within one month to find out the bribe-takers involved in the incident.
At this time, I thought of Ma Feng, although he has been imprisoned, he is the most direct victim of the case of the Famous City Imperial Mansion, and he hates Fu the most, he should be able to appear in court. To do this, I made a trip to the prison myself.
"What? Three months have passed, and you only remember me, I heard that the policeman who looked for me before is dead? Ma Feng sat opposite and said gloatingly.
"You mean Ru Ling? Ru Ling came to you three months ago? "It seems that when Ru Ling was investigating Lin Fuchun, he still wanted to use the famous city palace as a breakthrough.
"Yes, it's your partner. A good man doesn't live long, how did he die? Was it silenced? Ma Feng's tone fluctuated high and low, yin and yang weird.
"Do you have any clues you can tell me?"
"I've told him everything I can say, but he's dead, you see, if it weren't for me in this prison, I guess I'd be dead, would you want to die too?" Ma Feng was close to me and stared at me.
"What did you tell him?"
"For your own sake, I won't tell you, or you'll die soon."
"Fu Yaohua is dead, do you know?" I don't want to go around the bush with him, it's obvious that he does know something, and he also told Ru Ling, but Ru Ling's death made him lose confidence in the police again, and this time it's not a matter of distrust, but a matter of ability to handle cases and spheres of influence.
"Dead? When? How did he die? He's dead? Really dead? It's really dead! Ma Feng began to repeat thoughtfully.
"A week ago, the person who committed suicide in fear of sin wrote a confession before he died."
"Haha! Ha ha! Suicidal? The kind of person he would commit suicide in fear of sin? The police are really easy to deceive. But it's good to be dead, it's good to be dead! Ha ha! Ha ha! Ha ha! It's good to be dead! Ma Feng began to laugh maniacally.
"Now the police are investigating the people involved in the auction case of the famous city imperial mansion that year, according to Fu Yaohua's suicide note, there are many public officials involved in the case, but we need more evidence to prove his words."
"Evidence? The police are so useless, you either can't find the evidence, or you can't find the evidence, the people have already run away. But he died, haha, he died. ”
"You know he's going to die?" His words are very problematic.
Of course, I know that a person like him who has done many evils will be punished sooner or later. Tell me, how did he commit suicide, taking poison? Hang oneself? Or jump off the building, no, no, these are too cheap for him, don't understand hatred, don't solve hatred, there must be a better way. ”
"After he had his abdomen, he stabbed himself in the heart with a knife."
"Yes, that's right, no, it's not enough, what's more, is there any?" Ma Feng seemed to be very excited, as if he had taken drugs.
"He used a blade to self-harm before he died."
"That's it, it's like this, so he knows how much pain I have."
"Now, can you tell me what you know?"
"I don't know anything, the surname Fu is dead, everything I know has been said, I have nothing more to say."
"Who did you say it to?"
"Your colleague, the dead policeman? I can't tell you, I can't tell you. ”
"Why can't you tell me, since you said that Ru Ling was killed because he listened to you, then why can't you tell me, do you want a good policeman to die unjustly?"
"You know, you're going to die too. Those of you who live in the sunshine cannot kill the shadow. Only those who are in the darkness know where they are hiding and how to deal with them. ”
"What do you mean?" It seems that Ma Feng really knows something.
"It's nothing, I advise you, don't check it again, I won't tell you, by the way, what's your name?"
"Ruan Yang!"
"Oh, yes, your name is Ruan Yang, Officer Ruan, you better go back, there are not many good policemen, you just go and catch the thief, just sweep the pornography, don't be so desperate." Ma Feng's words were full of irony, and the implication was that there was no way for justice to defeat evil. Saying this, is it also an insinuation that Fu Yaohua has a greater force behind him, beyond the scope of what we can imagine and control.
"Fu Yaohua is dead, what are you afraid of?"
"I'm afraid of those you can't think of and can't catch."
"Who the hell is it?"
"You still don't know." Saying that, Ma Feng stood up and wanted to leave, but he stood up and shook for a while, and suddenly sat down again, his face was sallow, and I only noticed at this moment that he was much thinner than before.
The guard came up to help him, and he staggered to his feet, walked back with the guard, and suddenly turned back to me
"Officer Ruan, tell you, I have died without regrets, I have died without regrets!" With that, he was dragged out.
Nothing was asked, and I left the prison disappointed and returned to the police station. However, on the way, he received a regrettable news - Ma Feng hanged himself in prison.
I was startled and quickly parked the car on the side of the road to calm down. Why is it so sudden, so coincidental, I just went to ask, and without asking anything, Ma Feng died.
I turned the car around and walked back again, and by the time I arrived at the prison, Ma Feng's body had been put on the table in an empty room. Visible strangulation marks on the neck, protruding eyes, and purple lips are all symptoms of self-hanging.
The guards told me that Ma Feng had been on hunger strike since a week ago, and that they had forcibly injected him with nutritional injections several times, and no matter how much they persuaded him, they just didn't eat rice, insisting that someone wanted to poison him. After seeing me today, he kept saying that he had no regrets, and not long after he went back, he hung himself from the window at the head of the bed with his pants. When they found out, they were already dead.
This time is too coincidental, I deeply suspect that Ma Feng and Fu Yaohua were threatened by the same person or the same organization, and they all said before their deaths that someone wanted to kill them, but in the end they committed suicide one after another. So whether it was suicide or not, it's hard to say.
I asked the guard, has anyone visited Ma Feng recently? The guard said that Ma Feng was a very poor person, for a long time, except for three months ago, when Ru Ling did come once, and a week ago, his ex-girlfriend came once, and no one came to visit.
I asked him to bring me the record of the visit, and sure enough, as he said, there was no one else, so the clue was broken again. I struggled and had to go back to the police station to report. Before leaving, he still wrote down the phone number of Ma Feng's ex-girlfriend.
There is an old Chinese saying that blessing is incomparable, and disaster is not a single line. Just when the police investigation made no progress, major media received breaking news one after another, claiming that it was a report video recorded by Ma Feng before his death, and reported Fu Yaohua, Lin Fuchun and others for bribery and gangsterism in real names, with relevant evidence.
We contacted the media to collect evidence, and the media revealed that it was Ma Feng's ex-girlfriend who sent it to them and asked for it to be published in the newspaper. Due to the recent hype of this case, media people will naturally not miss such an opportunity to attract attention.
In this way, I have to meet Ma Feng, a mysterious ex-girlfriend. I compared the phone numbers I got from the detention center and the newspaper, and it was indeed the same person, I called, and the person who answered the phone was a man, and when I heard that I was a police officer and wanted to find Wang Fang because of Ma Feng's case, the man was obviously angry and dissatisfied, and almost put down the phone and called Wang Fang.
Wang Fang cautiously asked me who I was, and I told me who I was, but she was reluctant to meet and said that she did not want to be involved in the case.
"Then why are you sending those materials to the newspaper?"
"What information? I didn't send anything? ”
"You don't have to pretend to be confused, I just want to know what Ma Feng told you a week ago, and I didn't say that you did anything wrong, you don't have to be nervous."
"We haven't seen each other since we broke up, how could he have talked to me a week ago, didn't you arrest him?"
"Didn't you visit Ma Feng in prison a week ago?"
"I didn't!"
"It's your name on the visitation record."
"I didn't visit him, I didn't want to have anything to do with him, I have my own family, my own children, and I don't want to be bothered by the old things anymore."
"Then how do you explain the visit a week ago and the information that the media received from the sender."
"Isn't this up to the police to figure out how to explain this?" After speaking, Wang Fang hung up the phone.
I looked at my phone and was so angry that I wanted to fall, but after thinking about it, she should be because her husband is at home, and it is inconvenient to admit that she has contact with her ex-boyfriend, so she still has to find a way to meet alone.
