Chapter 23: The Divine Operation Ten Years Ago
He frowned, as if he felt that something was wrong with what he said. He rolled his eyes a few times, adjusted his sitting position and said, "If Sheng Yuandong and Zhao Kaichuan were indeed addicted to gambling at the time and they owed a large sum of money, then Zheng Yi's failure would be expected. What they need is to use this failure to get the insurance money from Zheng Yi to repay their debts!"
This remark perked up everyone, and after integrating all the information currently collected, this inference seemed extremely reasonable.
"Then now... if we can find out the information behind this number, can we confirm whether the captain's guess is right or not?" Gao Yuan exerted force on his feet, and the chair slid to his seat. He picked up the card that Wu Qingluan had taken from Zhao Kaichuan. With a sad face, he had already anticipated how he would spend the night.
Gu Nankai added lightly, "No, there is also this. I hope that tomorrow morning, you can decipher the hidden information in the cards and lottery tickets."
"Captain Gu! This is too hard!" Gao Yuan raised his head and shouted, his tearful appearance made the others look at him with gloating eyes. This scene made everyone's fatigue dissipate a little. Gu Nankai encouraged everyone: "Okay, the two girls go back and rest, and we boys stay to work overtime. I hope we can have a good result tomorrow morning!"
"Why can you guys work overtime but we girls can't? We can endure hardships, okay?" Wu Qingluan didn't appreciate Gu Nankai's "special care". She straightened up to show her position. Shang Lu also stood at attention as she spoke: "Hey, Captain Gu, isn't it tiring to work with men and women? Let's work overtime together. It's so boring to go home."
Gu Nankai had seen Wu Qingluan's "willfulness" before, but he didn't expect Shang Lu to have such awareness at such a young age. He was slightly stunned, and finally waved his hand: "Well, if you are tired, you can take a nap. Now..."
Gu Nankai seemed to have thought of something. He stopped and looked at Wu Qingluan: "Call Li Ting now. It's daytime there. Keep calling until she picks up."
After the tasks were assigned, everyone took action on their own, but the serious crime squad was busy in the dark night.
Until the sky turned white, the lights in the serious crime team were still on, and the air was filled with the slightest smell of instant noodles. Several people in the serious crime team were lying on the table and sleeping soundly, until a rapid phone call rang, and everyone was startled awake.
Gu Nankai and Li Meng woke up first. Li Meng was already very sober after a jump. He answered the phone before Gu Nankai. Unexpectedly, Gu Nankai soon saw the shocked expression on Li Meng's face. He walked over quickly. At this time, Li Meng had hung up the phone and turned to look at him with a very bad face: "Captain Gu, Zhao Kaichuan is dead!"
Gu Nankai's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Zhao Kaichuan's death to come so soon!
"Gao Yuan! Don't sleep!" Gu Nankai quickly went over and patted the sleepy Gao Yuan a few times. Gao Yuan mumbled a few words before fully opening his eyes. When he was halfway through stretching, Gu Nankai announced, "Zhao Kaichuan is dead!"
"What!" Gao Yuan immediately came to his senses. He slammed the table hard and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it, I just found out!"
"Talk as we walk!" Another murder occurred, and Gu Nankai made a decision immediately. The group quickly packed up and went to the scene of Zhao Kaichuan's death. Because the group was scattered in two cars, they turned on the video as soon as they got in the car to ensure that Wu Qingluan, Shang Lu and Li Meng in the other car could receive the information. Gao Yuan reported on what he had investigated.
"Let's talk about that business card first. The number on that business card is more than just a number. At the beginning, we found out that the owner of this business card belongs to a man called Dong Ye. This Dong Ye is a tough guy. He was mixed up in the underworld in his early years. Later, he committed a crime and went to prison. After he was released, he ran to Macau. Through some special channels, we found out that he was engaged in the casino business in Macau. Hey, Sheng Yuandong couldn't find out anything, so I hacked into Zhao Kaichuan's computer and found several hidden emails through his mailbox. Sure enough, Kaisheng Group and the casino are related. However, I haven't found out whether Sheng Yuandong and Zhao Kaichuan were addicted to gambling ten years ago and their debt situation at the time. But I have friends there who are very useful. I have asked them to give me a reply as soon as possible."
Gao Yuan's work efficiency is inversely proportional to his appearance. This guy looks sloppy and unreliable, but he is quite reliable when doing things. Gu Nankai is very satisfied with his performance.
"Where is that set of lottery tickets?" Gu Nankai straightened his back . The two girls couldn't hold on any longer last night and fell asleep. He, Cao Cang and Li Meng had been sorting out information and analyzing the case, while Gao Yuan was struggling with the two pieces of information. No one knew when everyone fell asleep until the phone rang.
Gao Yuan was very excited when talking about that number, his eyes were shining: "That number is awesome, Captain Gu, do you know what that number means?"
"The winning number?" Gu Nankai already had a guess in his mind, otherwise the Zheng family would not have kept a lottery ticket from ten years ago. But he did not expect that the number on the lottery ticket was even more jaw-dropping. When Gao Yuan said the number behind the lottery ticket, Gu Nankai was shocked.
"That lottery ticket was drawn ten years ago. Do you know how much the winner got? Five hundred million! Five hundred million!" Gao Yuan spread out his five fingers and shook them in front of Gu Nankai, very excited: "A full five hundred million! The winner must be a member of the Zheng family. Just think about it, with five hundred million in hand, the five million insurance money is nothing to the Zheng family!"
Gu Nankai's guess seemed to be verified. If the Zheng family got this huge lottery money at the same time as Zheng Yi's insurance money, compared to the money owed by Zheng Yi, the Zheng family naturally would not want to care about the truth or falsehood. As two rural elderly people, what they feared most was that the other money was coveted, so they were so eager to leave the city and return to the countryside.
"What a shit luck the Zheng family has! Zheng Yi is really a god of wealth. With his death, the Zheng family has become rich just by lying down." Gao Yuan still found this a little hard to accept. It was too unfair. But he changed his mind and laughed again: "But no matter how much money it has, the person is still dead."
"If Zheng Yi is dead, then who will avenge him?" Gu Nankai's guess came true, but the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger. As the truth of ten years ago was unraveled, he felt that they were getting further and further away from the murderer. Zhao Kaichuan's death made him more certain that the origin of this murder was ten years ago, but all the evidence showed that almost no one was willing to avenge someone who had been dead for ten years.
Wu Qingluan on the other end suddenly spoke: "Let's sort it out first. If all our current speculations are true, then Zheng Yi's death ten years ago was a plot set up by Sheng Yuandong and Zhao Kaichuan because they owed gambling debts. The initial reason for setting up this plot was that they wanted to make Zheng Yi a sucker, but the turning point was that Sheng Yuandong learned from Li Ting that Zheng Yi's parents bought an insurance policy for Zheng Yi. If Zheng Yi died in an accident, there would be a large sum of money . This situation is undoubtedly great news for Sheng Yuandong and Zhao Kaichuan, because they didn't expect Zheng Yi's death to bring them such a big surprise at first."
"What kind of magical operation is this!" Gao Yuan sighed again, and at this moment Wu Qingluan suddenly stretched out his index finger in the video and placed it in front of his mouth.
