Chapter 154: Twenty-five Years Ago
Two days later.
The matter of finding Hong Guangyan was not as smooth as imagined, Zhao Qiming and the others judged that the other party should have changed his name and surname, and hid somewhere in Jiangcheng.
There must be demons in the abnormal, and there is a high probability that this Hong Guangyan is problematic.
If he really participated in the tomb robbery that year, then for the police, all the truth will be revealed, and the identity of the murderer is also likely to surface.
Therefore, not being able to find Hong Guangyan not only made Zhao Qiming and them frustrated, but became excited.
The more difficult it is to find, the greater the problem of the other party, and the pay is proportional to the gain.
Now.
Old Town, Senior Activity Square.
Zhao Qiming, Shi Xin and others came here, and according to the two-day visit and investigation, Hong Guangyan is likely to live nearby.
Skynet monitoring also photographed the other party's activities around.
This place is still a building from the eighties and nineties of the last century, and there are many bungalows as far as the eye can see, and most of them are old people.
Occasionally, I can see young people, and most of them are out-of-towners who rent houses.
The rent in the old city is cheap and not very far from the city, which is the best choice for young men and women who come from the countryside to work hard in Jiangcheng.
Earn money, succeed, and it's never too late to move out.
This is a process that must be experienced to integrate into a big city from scratch, and it is still relatively difficult.
"Find them separately and keep them in communication."
Zhao Qiming waved his hand, and everyone scattered.
He strictly implemented Chen Yi's orders, and several police officers were wearing police uniforms instead of civilian clothes, so as soon as they arrived in the square, they attracted the attention of many people.
The square is very lively, divided into many small circles, some play mahjong, some play cards, some play chess, and some are exchanging traditional musical instruments such as erhu.
Zhao Qiming stood in the distance, his eyes scanning, observing the entire square crowd, not letting go of any suspicious guys.
As time passed, his gaze froze slightly, fixed on the body of an old man.
At first, the other party was there to watch others play chess, but after discovering that the police were visiting and gradually approaching, they decisively chose to leave.
Zhao Qiming did not hesitate and chased after him.
The old man had bad legs and feet, so he walked very slowly, and Zhao Qiming quickly caught up.
"This uncle, wait."
Zhao Qiming stood still behind the old man.
The old man paused, turned his head slowly, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, young man?" ”
Zhao Qiming stared at him for a while, and then spoke: "Municipal Bureau Criminal Police, may I ask what is your name?" ”
The old man was surprised: "Criminal police? ”
"My name is Wang Dahai, and everyone else calls me Lao Wang."
Zhao Qiming smiled: "Can I see your ID card?" ”
"Yes, you can."
Wang Dahai rummaged over his body for a while, and then handed over an ID card.
Zhao Qiming took it and found that it was indeed Wang Dahai's name.
"Wang Dahai ......" Zhao Qiming smiled, "No, I think you should be called Hong Guangyan." ”
Hearing this, Wang Dahai's wrinkled face had a brief moment of surprise.
"Say, young man...... And what? ”
Zhao Qiming snorted coldly: "Hong Guangyan, although your family is abroad, it is not difficult to find it, and you have a lot of relatives in China, don't talk nonsense with me." ”
"Twenty-five years ago, it's time to make it clear."
Hong Guangyan: "!! ”
……
Jiangcheng City Bureau, Inquiry Room.
Chen Yi gave Hong Guangyan enough respect and did not bring him to the interrogation room, after all, the other party has no other criminal suspicions for the time being except for the illegal act of buying false certificates.
And the tomb robbery has also passed the prosecution period.
At this point, Hong Guangyan seemed a lot calmer, holding the hot teacup given by the police in both hands, trying to warm his cold skin.
"Mr. Hong, let's talk."
Chen Yi, who was sitting opposite, spoke, including Zhao Qiming and others.
At this moment, it should be possible to figure out what happened 25 years ago.
Hong Guangyan lowered his head and whispered: "It's been so long, isn't there a ...... Period? ”
Chen Yi asked rhetorically: "Then why did you hide, and changed your name." ”
Hong Guangyan was silent.
Chen Yi was not ready to talk nonsense with the other party, and said directly: "Six have already died, and the one in charge of the appraisal has even died with his son, do you know now what case we are investigating?" ”
Hearing this, Hong Guangyan raised his head sharply and said in astonishment: "All dead?!" Lao Geng ...... The son was also killed?! Thankfully......"
"Geng?" Chen Yi raised his eyebrows, "His surname is Geng?" ”
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and Qin Fei stepped forward and put Cao Maojun's photo on the table.
Hong Guangyan glanced at it, frowned, and said, "Yes, this is Lao Geng, an old liar." ”
It seems that Cao Maojun gave himself a code name back then, which was quite cautious.
"Show him other people's pictures as well." Chen Yi said.
When all the victims' photos were placed in front of Hong Guangyan one by one, the other party sighed deeply, and the whole person seemed to be a lot older.
"You know them all, right?" Chen Yi said.
Hong Guangyan nodded.
Chen Yi: "Do you know what it's called?" ”
Hong Guangyan: "I only know what the surname is, but I don't know the name." ”
Chen Yi: "Tell me. ”
Hong Guangyan raised his head slightly, pointed to Sun Jianli's photo and said, "This surname is Sun." ”
"This surname is Tian."
"This seems to be...... Oh yes, the surname is Liang. ”
"This ......"
He accurately said the surnames of the five victims more than ten years ago, but Cao Maojun was the only one with the surname Geng.
Chen Yi: "What about yourself?" How did you introduce them yourself? ”
Hong Guangyan: "I'll just say my surname is Hong." ”
Chen Yi nodded slightly and said, "What happened twenty-five years ago, starting with Tian Youwei. ”
Hong Guangyan swallowed his saliva and said with some fear: "He...... Will he kill me again? ”
As Qian Yanduo said, this Hong Guangyan is very timid, but he can understand it, after all, it is related to his own life.
Chen Yi spoke: "Don't worry, since we have found you, we will guarantee your safety." ”
Thinking that he was in the city bureau and surrounded by police, Hong Guangyan's expression softened, and then he said: "Twenty-five years ago, it was indeed this field...... Youwei found me and said that he wanted to cooperate with me for a deal. ”
Chen Yi: "How did he find you?" ”
Hong Guangyan: "I said that I was introduced by a friend. ”
Chen Yi: "Who?" ”
Hong Guangyan: "It's called Qian Cheng." ”
Chen Yi snorted: "Go on." ”
Hong Guangyan said: "He said that he knew the location of a clear tomb, and there must be a lot of good things in it, so I agreed, gave him 50,000 yuan, and asked him to find someone." ”
Chen Yi was surprised: "I don't know each other, just give 50,000?" ”
Hong Guangyan was slightly silent and said, "I...... I don't think he's a liar. ”
Chen Yi: "......"
Qian Yan was right, Hong Guangyan was indeed stupid and had a lot of money, and it may be that he wanted to go to the tomb too much, and he had an opportunity in front of him and didn't want to miss it.
"And then?"
Hong Guangyan said: "Then after two months, he found all the people, a total of six. ”
Hearing six, Zhao Qiming and the others were shocked.
Chen Yi also immediately asked: "In addition to the five in the photo, who is the sixth person?" ”
Hong Guangyan recalled: "He ...... He didn't say his name, he was a master from out of town. ”
Don't have a name? Field?
Everyone frowned, no wonder there was no result after a long time of visiting and investigating, was it really Tian Youwei who found it from other places?
That's right, if you can find Yangcheng and Tao Hanhui, you can naturally find other places.
That's going to be hard.
"How much do you remember what it looked like?" Chen Yi asked.
This remark made Hong Guangyan shudder: "Remember...... I remember it very well. ”
Chen Yi: "Can you help us with the portrait?" ”
Hong Guangyan: "Yes. ”
Chen Yi nodded: "Okay, let's continue." ”
Hong Guangyan said: "After we prepared for a few days, we went to the location of the tomb that Tian Youwei said. ”
"After arriving, I found out that it was not an accurate location, just an approximate range, and I thought that Tian Youwei was a pit at the time, but it was ......."
However, the master he found was very powerful, and it only took half a day to rely on his ability to lock the tomb entrance, which was very ...... It's amazing, it's amazing. ”
It can be seen that he still admires that person back then, and now that he talks about it, he can still use three "powerful" in a row to describe it.
"After finding the tomb, it is mainly the surname Sun who is responsible for excavation, and he is also quite professional, and when he can't dig it, he can always find a way to continue deeper."
"Eventually, we went to the tomb."
Chen Yi: "Didn't you use explosives?" Isn't there one in charge of blasting? ”
Hong Guangyan shook his head: "No, with a demoman just in case, it didn't work." ”
Chen Yi: "Go on. ”
Hong Guangyan: "After entering the tomb, we found out that it was a filter pit!" Hey......"
When he mentioned this, he couldn't help but sigh, and he still felt unlucky in retrospect.
"You know the pit, right? What has already been made a head start, has been stolen! ”
"There's no way, since you're here, you can't go back empty-handed, you can only search carefully to see if there are any missed by the previous wave."
"I didn't expect it...... There really is! ”
"I remember finding a lot of Qingmin kilns, a mirror, a porcelain vase, a few plates, ancient coins and so on, I can't remember the specifics."
"After identification, Lao Geng said that they were all genuine, and we began to distribute them."
"The master of the cave has a word first, after entering the tomb, he must choose first, as long as there is one thing, he will take away the Tang Dynasty Sea Beast Grape Mirror......"
"It's ...... The highest value. ”
"I quietly asked Lao Geng how much this thing was, and he said several million, I was shocked at the time, and then ...... Everyone else also knew about it, and there was a quarrel, saying that it should be divided equally. ”
"In the end, it was Tian Youwei and Lao Geng who persuaded that since they agreed, they would have to be trustworthy, and we wouldn't be able to find the tomb without him, so everyone gave up."
"I didn't expect it...... I didn't expect it to be like that when I came out, it wasn't like that! ”
Recalling the palpitating scene, Hong Guangyan became nervous again.
Chen Yi and the others listened carefully and did not interject again.
Hong Guangyan's voice trembled a little: "I don't know what's going on, that master was the last to crawl out of the thief hole, but as soon as he was halfway up, Lao Sun and the others asked the other party to hand over the mirror." ”
Of course he couldn't agree, he scolded angrily, and then ...... Then they took action and smashed it with a shovel, knocking him down. ”
"A few people should have discussed, even Lao Tian was not idle, he wanted to rob it, but he was very tight, and he couldn't grab it alive or dead, so Lao Sun ...... Got his hands on it again. ”
"I didn't see what was going on, anyway, the mirror was broken, and the old grandson kicked him in angrily, and then buried the pit in the ......"
Hearing this, Chen Yi rubbed his eyebrows, and Zhao Qiming and the others were also silent, this is really touching money.
"But I didn't do it, I definitely didn't do it! I'm scared! I have no idea how things suddenly turned out like this. ”
"Yes, yes, and Lao Geng, he didn't do it, neither of us did it!"
Hong Guangyan did not forget to explain to himself.
Chen Yi opened his mouth and said two words: "Go on." ”
Hong Guangyan picked up the cup and took a sip of water, and said: "Later, Lao Geng angrily scolded Lao Sun that they were crazy, but there was no way for it to happen, so everyone took things and parted ways, and never met again." ”
"This old Geng! What a level! Swindler! ”
"When I took something and wanted to sell it, I was told it was fake!"
"Although the imitation is very real, it is fake, a clear imitation!"
"Qing imitation is also worth a little money, but it is far worse than the real thing, what kind of appraisal master, liar, pit people!"
Chen Yi understood.
Hong Guangyan still thinks that Lao Geng, that is, Cao Maojun, is just not good enough, not deliberately deceiving.
Objectively speaking, in fact, there is no evidence to prove that Cao Maojun is deliberately deceiving, but the only genuine item in the tomb has been held by him, which is very revealing.
plus what Cao Maojun said to his son when he died......
The possibility of deliberate deception is enormous.
If it weren't for his deception, nothing would have happened, and the "master" would not have died.
This is indirect, killing the other party, maybe because of this, Cao Maojun can't let go until he dies.
"I've been scared of ...... since I went back"
Hong Guangyan's voice rang out.
"This ...... After all, this is a dead person, and he died so miserably! Was he stoned to death or buried alive at that time? I...... I don't dare to think about it. ”
"Because of this, I have had nightmares for several years, and going to the grave is completely different from what I imagined!"
"It wasn't until ten years later that a friend who played antiques talked to me about what murder scene I had encountered, and a person was buried in the soil and died, with a mirror in front of him!"
"When I heard it, it scared the hell!! Then I went to inquire, there is such a thing! ”
"I don't know who the dead person is, but I always feel that it has something to do with what happened back then, so I thought about going to Tian Youwei, but I have long lost contact with him, and I haven't found it for a long time."
"I was scared, so I ...... Just hiding. ”
At this time, Chen Yi spoke: "So, do you think someone is taking revenge?" ”
Hong Guangyan snorted, and the old man's face became a little white.
The moment he learned that all those involved were dead, he was sure that someone had taken revenge.
Fortunately, I hid early! Otherwise, you will definitely die!
The inquiry room fell silent.
By this point, what happened twenty-five years ago is very clear.
The murderer is avenging his father.
My father was smashed in the head and buried in the tomb, so he chose to end the lives of Sun Jianli and others in the same way.
His father died because of the Tang Sea Beast Grape Mirror, so he chose the same way and placed a mirror in front of each victim.
Let them, watch themselves die.
Just like when they saw the wealth and watched the murderer's father die.
The only variable in this is Cao Yuning's death.
A university professor, a person who had nothing to do with the case, was still on the murderer's list of murderers.
This also indirectly shows that the murderer has been corrupted by hatred and has become extremely crazy.
