Chapter 177 Spring Festival
"Honey, what's wrong with you?" Mother Park walked to her husband and asked worriedly.
Park Ji-yong came back to his senses and shook his head, forcing a smile and replied, "Nothing, I guess what happened today scared you guys, I'm really sorry!"
"It's okay. Jiyeon was really worried about you just now. Jiyeon, why are you still standing there?" Mother Park winked at her daughter, wanting her to come over and say something nice. After all, they had just had a fight before.
However, Park's mother seems to have no understanding of Park Ji-yeon's inner feelings at all, and this situation can be called a generation gap.
"I haven't forgiven him!"
The little face turned cold, and there was no longer any worry on Park Ji-yeon's face. After she finished speaking, she walked out again.
"Where are you going girl?"
"Can't I go and say goodbye to my former classmates? Is this not allowed?"
Park Ji-yeon turned around and said coldly, then put on her shoes and left the house.
Park's mother is like most Korean women. She has not yet developed the mentality of an auntie, but years of housewife life have long erased her temper and made her extremely ordinary. Of course, this is also the result of Park Ji-yong's strong chauvinism, so she looked at Park Ji-yong and said carefully: "Husband, don't give birth..."
"I am sorry for her and for you." Park Ji-yong interrupted his wife sadly. As a middle-aged man, he not only failed to do what a parent should do, but also brought trouble to his wife and daughter. This was a huge blow to Park Ji-yong, who had a strong sense of self-esteem.
"You think too much. Although this girl is angry, it's not what you think!"
"Hmm?" Park Ji-yong looked at his wife in confusion. He didn't understand what she meant at all.
In fact, Park's mother felt equally sorry. Not only did Park Ji-yong feel sorry for her daughter, but Park's mother felt the same way. She had already felt the generation gap and distance between Ji-yeon, her and her father. However, although there was a generation gap, she still understood her daughter in some aspects.
"She's just telling us...she's grown up!"
“…”
"Do you remember how happy she was when she stood on the podium and won the medal for the first time?"
Park Ji-yong suddenly remembered the time when Park Ji-yeon won the Children's Division of the Suwon Taekwondo Tournament when she was eight years old. The little girl blushed and jumped into his arms happily, and later she wore the medal at school... Memories flooded into his mind like a tide.
The memories at this moment are beautiful, but what makes Park Ji-yong sad is that he seems to not understand his daughter at all, and can't even understand why she was happy at that time, whether it was because she got first place or because she met the requirements of her father. This is really a sad and ironic thing, and his wife's words sounded like just comfort.
"Boss, do you want to call now?"
After leaving the community, the four people and the man in the sweatshirt got into the van. As soon as they sat down, Jin Guanglu took out his mobile phone and asked.
Zheng Xiuheng shook his head helplessly and said, "I've said it many times before. People who do business should behave like business, and people who work should behave like work. The four of us can just go over there!"
Zheng Xiuheng said it casually, but his three employees froze instantly. Lin Dazhong asked nervously, "Boss, are you saying that the four of us should go?"
Zheng Xiuheng nodded and ignored the three people's expressions that seemed to be about to collapse. He turned his head and looked at the man in a sweater who was leaning against the window and looked weak.
"They will take you to the hospital in a while, and then call your curator as I said before . Of course you can choose not to call. However, if that's the case, I will have no choice but to call the police, and I believe you don't want to really involve the police!"
Zheng Xiuheng now had a clear grasp of these things. This was no longer a matter of speculation. He believed that the man in the hoodie would not object. As long as someone had dirty hands, they would always want to avoid the police. Even Zheng Xiuheng did not want to have anything to do with the police.
"I will!"
After getting the answer he wanted, Zheng Xiuheng said to Jin Guanglu, "Drive the car to the Huacheng Palace, and you will take him to the hospital in a while!"
"Boss, how about we call some more people?" Lin Dazhong suggested with some fear. Thinking of the fighting power of those teachers, he felt weak. It was understandable that Zheng Xiuheng was not afraid, but he was weak.
Zheng Xiuheng was too lazy to pay attention to him. He leaned back in his chair and began to carefully sort out everything in front of him.
Suwon Hwaseong Fortress is a tourist attraction in Suwon City. It is a place with very unique construction planning. In this area, there are a large number of Korean houses, folk shops and restaurants. Among them, the Cheongsonggwan Main Building is also a very popular visiting spot.
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Zheng Xiuheng, dressed in formal attire, walked into a soup restaurant not far from Qingsong Pavilion.
"One serving of beef soup and rice, and one kimchi pancake!"
After Zheng Xiuheng ordered the food, he found a seat and sat down. Soon the boss lady brought the food.
"Hey, you are so handsome, I have never seen you before, are you here for tourism?" Maybe it was because lunch time had passed and this shop was just an ordinary soup restaurant with few customers, so after delivering the dishes, the auntie sat next to him and said with a smile. She looked very kind, and looked at Zheng Xiuheng as if he was a relative.
In fact, there are quite a few people like this in South Korea. If you say they are kind-hearted, they are indeed kind-hearted, but the prerequisite is that the other party likes them, in other words... they look at their faces.
Zheng Xiuheng was slightly startled. Looking at the gray-haired auntie, Zheng Xiuheng smiled and said, "I'm here for tourism. It seems that you are the only one in the store. Isn't this too hard?"
"What's so hard about it? I've been doing this for more than 20 years. My old man is also here. But it's rare to see young people from Seoul dressed so formally to travel here. Eat slowly. There may be folk performances at Hwaseong Palace in the afternoon. Today is the Spring Festival. Maybe there will be stars singing and dancing. If you are not in a hurry, you can go and see it. Since you are here, you should take a good look and relax. The Spring Festival only happens once a year. Don't be too busy working!"
The aunt said this with a smile, then nodded to Zheng Xiuheng, stood up and walked to the kitchen.
Zheng Xiuheng smiled helplessly. He didn't expect this lady to have such a sharp vision. However, Zheng Xiuheng's way of speaking is indeed similar to that of Seoul people. Looking at his black suit and big leather shoes, he doesn't look like a tourist at all.
Zheng Xiuheng had originally planned to take a walk around Qingsong Pavilion after lunch, but looking at the warm sunshine outside, he suddenly changed his mind.
"The Spring Festival? Maybe if you relax a little, the answer will come out naturally!"
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng was also very distressed at the moment. First of all, it should be no mistake that Fang Shirong hired someone to kill Li Xiaole. If the other party was a killer often seen in TV and movies, even if it was an ordinary person, Zheng Xiuheng would not be so taboo and distressed.
But the current situation is a bit tricky. This incident was probably done by a local gang. They dared to kill people without leaving any clues, which shows that this is not the first time for them to do it. This also shows the nature of this gang.
The problem Zheng Xiuheng faces is what he should do now. He must not let Fang Shirong, who is behind the scenes, go, but there is really no way to take action against him now.
The reason why the police could not find any clues about Li Xiaole's death was that it could be regarded as a random murder. Conan Doyle, the author of Sherlock Holmes, once said that random murders are the most difficult cases to solve in the world.
A truly random killing without any factors, when all traces are perfectly eliminated, can easily become a headless case. There are many such cases in South Korea, the most famous of which is the Hwaseong murder case, a serial murder case that occurred in Suwon and Taean in the 1980s and caused panic in the whole of South Korea.
Between 1986 and 1991, ten women were murdered one after another in Taean Town, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. The murderer was never arrested and the case eventually became an unsolved murder case.
This is a truly unsolved case. If nothing unexpected had happened to the murderer, he would definitely still be alive among the crowd, or even in Hwaseong City or Suwon City.
However, although the Hwaseong case is famous, it is more because it is an unsolved case. After all, the criminals at that time had controlled the time of committing the crime.
Unlike South Korea's number one perverted murderer in recent years, Liu Yongzhe, who caused a sensation throughout South Korea entirely by committing crimes and using crazy methods.
This man from a poor area in Seoul, South Korea, began planning murders while serving his sentence in prison, and he killed 20 people in less than a year from September 2003 to July 2004, before he was arrested. Among those he killed, there were women, wealthy elderly people, and even mentally retarded people.
According to Liu Yongzhe's subsequent confession to the police, he not only dismembered and buried most of the victims, but also claimed that he took out the internal organs of four of them and roasted them to eat in order to "refresh himself."
If Liu Yongzhe had not committed crimes so frequently, he would not have been caught so easily. Recently, there were reports that a new director wanted to make a movie about this story and put it on the big screen.
Well, these have nothing to do with Zheng Xiuheng, but Zheng Xiuheng has also considered that there is a possibility of success in solving Fang Shirong's murder by random killing, after all, it seems that there is no connection between the two. But Zheng Xiuheng cannot ignore Fang Shirong's family power. If a large-scale investigation is launched, it is very likely that through his recent behavior, Sanlongdong and Li Xiaole will be found, and then extended to himself...
Therefore, Zheng Xiuheng had the awareness that "it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge" from the beginning. If a random killing happened again ten years later, no matter how much he investigated, it would not be possible to involve the Sanlong Cave. Of course, Zheng Xiuheng's ambition was not to wait ten years to kill someone. He hoped to take revenge in another way. As for random killing, it was only a last resort.
But at this moment, facing Qingsong Pavilion, an organization suspected of being the murderer, Zheng Xiuheng was struggling with how to deal with it. Should he fight them? Kill them all? Or should he do nothing and just seek revenge on Fang Shirong, or just find the guy who did the killing?
