After the "9.18" murder case occurred, there were many rumors about the case in Xinlang County.
Some people say that Li Hong was too arrogant and violent and angered several nearby coal mine bosses, so they jointly hired people to kill him;
Some people also say that because Li Hong often seduced other people's wives and cuckolded many prominent people in Xinleng Street, one of them paid a professional killer to "kill" him;
Others said: Li Hong gave a lot of money to local government officials, but this guy was lax and arrogant. He often threatened the officials who got his money and made it known that he gave money to officials. He said it to everyone he met, offending many powerful people. In order to kill people and silence him, these big people arranged for people to eliminate him and silence him forever...
All in all, among the various rumors among the people of Xinleng, although Li Hong is a victim, no one sympathizes with him. In the rumors, it is all his misdeeds and unethical behavior, and he belongs to the ranks of those who deserve to be killed...
In fact, Li Hong is indeed such a nouveau riche who started his career in coal mines, and then used various means to amass money, and finally relied on the rich and powerful to do all kinds of things. It is true that many people are eager to eat his flesh and sleep on his skin, and they want to get rid of him. Then quickly.
The then Director of the Public Security Bureau, Gu Yixin, personally directed and participated in the investigation of the "9.18" case. After summarizing various on-site investigation evidence, collecting many reporting clues, and understanding various rumors, he and the project team The people in the group and the suspects in their hearts all pointed to two people, Gong Zhichao and Chen Yuanqiao.
At that time, Chen Yuanqiao had just moved from Xinlang to the provincial capital. Gu Yixin and others learned that the reason why Chen Yuanqiao suddenly left Xinlang was because the conflict with Li Hong had reached a fever pitch. The two were fighting for the lion. There have been many overt and covert conflicts over the mining rights of a high-grade antimony mine in Jinhai Village, Shanzhen Town. They competed with each other to spend money on the land and resources department, competed with Jinhai to raise the rent price, and competed with each other to carve out territory on the hillside where the antimony mine is located. , drilling holes, and even multiple fights between the two parties.
The night before Chen Yuanqiao left Xinleng, his only daughter Chen Mengqi was kidnapped by a group of people. However, during the kidnapping process, Chen Mengqi was miraculously rescued by a high school student, who recorded a confession at the police station. Chen Yuanqiao, on the other hand, seemed not to want to bring the matter to the police. After his daughter recorded her statement, he immediately took her home and moved his family out of Xinleng early the next morning.
At that time, many people speculated that Li Hong was behind the kidnapping of Chen Mengqi. His purpose was to control Chen Mengqi in his hands and force Chen Yuanqiao, who loved his daughter more than his own life, to agree to his terms and not to marry him. Fight for the antimony resources in Jinhai Village, Shishan Town.
As for Chen Yuanqiao, his power at that time was far less powerful than that of Li Hong. His only subordinate was Gong Zhichao, who was able to get along relatively well on the streets, but he had not yet formed his own strength, and was far from being as powerful as Li Hong's "Four King Kongs". opponent.
Therefore, Gu Yixin and others guessed: In order to avoid disaster and prevent his daughter from being threatened again, Chen Yuanqiao first moved away from Xinleng and hid far away in the provincial capital to avoid Li Hong's sphere of influence. Then, He commanded remotely from the provincial capital, and asked Gong Zhichao, who was meticulous and neat in his work, to find several killers. He took advantage of Li Hong's relaxation of vigilance and eliminated him in one fell swoop. Then, Chen Yuanqiao paid for several killers to escape without giving any chance to Xin Leng. Police leave any clues...
Gu Yixin believed that this guess was very reasonable and in line with Chen Yuanqiao and Gong Zhichao's acting styles. Unfortunately, this was just a guess and a way of solving the case. They later followed this line of thinking and wasted a lot of money. We spent manpower and material resources to find evidence and find the murderer, but found nothing. In the end, we had to hang up the case and deal with the backlog and unsolved cases...
Now, when Gu Yixin heard Li Botang's words, he immediately understood: He and the people from the "9.18" case task force had the right idea to solve the case. Now, if Zeng Qiang can be used to find a person who participated in the shooting of Li Hong, The murderer, let him come out to testify against Gong Zhichao and Chen Yuanqiao. No matter how good Gong Zhichao's relationship is and no matter how tough his backstage, he will never escape the crime of murder...
However, Gu Yixin still had some doubts about whether Zeng Qiang could really provide the whereabouts of a killer, so he asked Li Botang: "Mr. Li, what kind of role is this Zeng Qiang? Why did he come forward to testify against Gong Zhichao? Is the person reliable?"
Li Botang smiled and said: "Lao Gu, do you still have doubts about my ability to do things? Anyway, since you are curious, I will tell you the whole story clearly."
It turns out that Zeng Qiang has always hated Gong Zhichao, Tie Tuo and others since he was scolded by Gong Zhichao for collecting taxes and was frightened to pee his pants by Tie Tuo's gun to his forehead. Although Gong Zhichao later He was provided with 500,000 yuan of capital to make profits in the building materials market, but he was a villain who only held grudges but not gratitude, and his hatred for Gong Zhichao and others has never been eliminated.
Moreover, this Zeng Qiang himself is also a big gambler. Since receiving the 500,000 yuan funded by Gong Zhichao, he has made money by taking interest and taking bold gambles. As a result, the money he loses every day in gambling is often the result of his gambling losses. In just a few months, he lost all the principal and interest earned.
And one of his gambling friends is Li Zhi.
Li Zhi knew that he was one of Gong Zhichao's subordinates, so he deliberately wooed him and got to know him. When he lost money, he lent him two to three hundred thousand yuan as a gambling capital without asking for his interest, which made Zeng Qiang treat him Weeping with gratitude, he told Li Zhi some things about Gong Zhichao one after another, which made Li Zhi know many of Gong Zhichao's past illegal and criminal facts that were not known by the political and legal authorities, especially when Zeng Qiang told him about Gong Zhichao. After being ordered to murder Li Hong by Chen Yuanqiao, he felt like he had found a treasure.
According to Zeng Qiang, he, Tie Tuo and others were among the "Five Tiger Generals" under Gong Zhichao back then. However, Gong Zhichao did not trust him very much. Therefore, when he murdered Li Hong, Gong Zhichao deliberately left him alone and started from Tie Tuo and others. Among the brothers, three ruthless people with outstanding marksmanship were chosen to play the role of killers.
After killing Li Hong, Gong Zhichao immediately arranged for the three killers to escape from Xinleng and hid in several cities in the southwest. Gong Zhichao contacted them through a single line, sent them living expenses every year, and ordered them to pay their living expenses within fifteen years. You are not allowed to come back to Xin Leng.
Among these three people, there was a killer named Peng Hua, who turned out to have a very good relationship with Zeng Qiang. It was this Peng Hua who told Zeng Qiang the entire process of the "9.18" murder case without reservation. ,
