Chapter 634: Chapter 634: The Truth Revealed
Zhao Beicun... confessed.
He confessed thoroughly, a total mess, spilling everything.
Even admitting to the audio recording he secretly made on his phone.
"It was Zhao Guojun’s secretary who found me."
The first thing Zhao Guojun said was like a bombshell.
"He said if I helped them with this job, they would treat my daughter’s illness afterward."
In the meeting room, Lu Chuan was briefing Qin Yong on the interrogation.
"And the person who tore away Song Jinfu’s diary back then was also found, arranged by Zhao Beicun."
"It’s a distant nephew of his, and Zhao Beicun gave him ten thousand yuan."
"He’s living right in Haizhou City, staying at Zhao Beicun’s house, I’ve already informed Zhang Hui to go arrest him."
Zhao Beicun’s role has become a crucial link in the investigation of the entire case.
In all the cases, Zhao Guojun’s connection was vague, seemingly unrelated.
However, this time, through Zhao Beicun, they directly locked onto Zhao Guojun’s secretary.
Once that secretary is captured, they can surely tie it to Zhao Guojun himself.
After all, there’s no reason for Zhao Guojun’s secretary to kill Song Jinfu’s wife.
He must have been directed by someone.
Then there’s the matter of Zhao Xiaoguo retracting his statement.
It’s highly likely that Zhao Guojun’s secretary orchestrated it through some means.
So the urgent task now is to immediately arrest Zhao Guojun’s secretary.
But Qin Yong could not understand how Lu Chuan managed to crack Zhao Beicun.
"It’s simple, I promised to cure his daughter’s illness in the name of Qiangsheng Group."
"How much money?"
"1.8 million for surgery and rehabilitation, plus 300,000 for medication, totaling 2.1 million."
"How much?"
"2.1 million."
Qin Yong...
If the Criminal Investigation Team had this much money for every uncooperative suspect, who wouldn’t confess?
All the bustling in the world is for benefit, all the scrambling is for profit.
Most crimes, aside from love and hate, are about entangled interests.
But what Lu Chuan offered Zhao Beicun wasn’t merely 2.1 million.
There was also a 20-year employment contract with Qiangsheng Group for Zhao Xiaohui.
For Zhao Beicun, it’s like securing a job for his daughter after graduation in disguise.
Working at Qiangsheng Group is a dream opportunity for Zhao Beicun.
Besides, with his daughter’s future secured, he wouldn’t have to bear full responsibility for the accident.
Though he would still go to prison, he wouldn’t face the death penalty as he was directed by others.
He still has a chance of getting out in this lifetime.
He still has the chance to watch Zhao Xiaohui grow up and start a family.
Given the choice between life and death, anyone would wish to live.
In a solemn place.
Zheng Haibin, looking at the three detectives before him, did not resist at all.
In fact, there was even a faint smile on his lips.
"You’re here to arrest me, right?"
"Let’s go."
The news of Zhao Guojun’s secretary’s arrest spread like wildfire throughout the building in less than half an hour.
And at that moment, it wasn’t Zheng Haibin who was restless, but Zhao Guojun.
This person who had been with him for three years, how many secrets did he know, Zhao Guojun couldn’t even count.
Now that he’s caught...
Criminal Investigation Team’s interrogation room.
"No need to sweat it, I’ll confess to everything..."
The investigation of the case seemed to proceed smoothly here.
A previously clue-less case suddenly came on track thanks to Zhao Beicun’s breakthrough.
Zheng Haibin confessed without reservation to orchestrating the hit-and-run that killed Song Jinfu’s wife to destroy evidence.
"I was just a middleman; it was all commanded by Zhao Guojun."
Zheng Haibin also readily revealed the ultimate instigator behind it all.
Meanwhile, Zhang Hui swiftly arrested the distant nephew at Zhao Beicun’s home.
Thus successfully retrieving the missing page from Song Jinfu’s diary.
It clearly detailed what happened on November 23rd, fifteen years ago.
Zhao Guojun was indeed the real murderer of Zhang Manyu.
At 3:20 in the afternoon, after requesting instructions, Qin Yong personally led a team to Zhao Guojun’s office.
"Captain Qin, are you here to arrest me?"
Qin Yong didn’t respond.
Two detectives cuffed Zhao Guojun right away.
With this, the case finally reached a conclusion.
However, there was one thing Qin Yong and his team hadn’t figured out.
Who was it that called Qin Yong on November 23rd?
And who coerced Zhao Xiaoguo into killing Song Jinfu?
This person has yet to emerge.
Two days later.
A piece of information brought back by Sun Jun finally unveiled the truth.
"You’re saying... Zhang Yunxi and Zheng Haibin were lovers?"
Sun Jun nodded affirmatively, "This fact was well-known among Zhang Yunxi’s classmates back then. Though not in the same class, they were in love for four years."
"When we investigated, their classmates even thought they were already married."
"After obtaining this information, we conducted a detailed investigation into Zheng Haibin’s background."
"Zheng Haibin became a civil servant five years ago, and thanks to his specialized field, he went straight to the Secretariat."
"Three years ago, after Zhao Guojun’s promotion, he became his secretary."
"Moreover, Zheng Haibin... is proficient with computers."
"And... he lives near Nanyuan Villa..."
Proficient with computers, virtual phone calls.
Nanyuan Villa... Hai Sha?
Could Zheng Haibin be the one who called me?
Was it him who coerced Zhao Xiaoguo to kill Song Jinfu?!
In the interrogation room, Qin Yong was personally interrogating Zheng Haibin.
Qin Yong went straight to the point, "You’re the one who called me, weren’t you?"
Zheng Haibin was stunned, "Captain Qin, what call are you talking about?"
Qin Yong shook his head and smiled.
Ever since uncovering the connection between Zheng Haibin and Zhang Yunxi, everything started falling into place.
According to the information recorded in Song Jinfu’s diary, there was a fierce argument between Zhao Guojun and Zhang Manyu at that time.
Then Zhao Guojun strangled Zhang Manyu and colluded with Song Jinfu to bury her in North Mountain Park.
Besides Song Jinfu, the only person who witnessed all this was Zhang Manyu’s daughter, Zhang Yunxi.
But at the time, Zhang Yunxi was just a child.
As she grew, torn between her father and her mother, in her timidity, she never reported it to the police later on.
"The reason you know the burial site is because Zhang Yunxi told you about Zhao Guojun killing Zhang Manyu, right?"
"And the reason you became Zhao Guojun’s secretary was to avenge him and his son."
"Because Zhao Xiaoguo caused Zhang Yunxi’s death."
"However, one thing I don’t get is how you obtained the video of Zhao Xiaoguo killing Zhang Yunxi?"
The once boisterous Zheng Haibin now turned ashen.
"He’s just a beast! A beast!"
"Yunxi... she was his sister! His sister!"
