Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 76 Fictional Setting
Zheng Xun is extremely self-centered and usually acts arrogantly towards everyone, but he becomes as docile as a puppy in front of Bai Rushuang.

Bai Rushuang did not refuse, and she was more indulgent towards Zheng Xun.

After studying psychology, Wei Qingsong discovered that the most uncontrollable thing in the world is the human heart.

The next day was a rare sunny day. The morning breeze still carried a slight chill, and sunlight filtered through the trees, casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Early in the morning, the criminal police officers of the Quyang Branch were already engaged in intense work. Everyone wanted to solve the case as soon as possible. Having finally locked onto a new target, they naturally had to go all out.

In addition to checking the ride-hailing records of the other three deceased, it is also necessary to investigate Zhao Yanyu's past, which is a considerable amount of work.

A silence fell over the office as everyone busied themselves with their work, moving about quickly and hurriedly, as if afraid of wasting a single second.

"Captain Lu, Zheng Xun has made a discovery: Ma Xiaolu, Jiang Keying, and Luo Jiajia all did indeed ride in Zhao Yanyu's car before their deaths!"

Bai Rushuang suddenly straightened up and called out in the direction of Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong.

Fortunately, Zhao Yanyu's registered identity information on the ride-hailing platform was genuine, which is why the relevant records could be found so easily.

This is undoubtedly a major discovery.

The fact that the three deceased were connected to Zhao Yanyu means that Zhao Yanyu can be officially listed as a suspect.

Chen Jin also strode in, pushing open the door: "Captain Lu, Sister Wei, we've also made a discovery here."

“I found a former teacher who worked at Quyang Middle School. He was Zhao Yanyu and Yu Fangfang’s homeroom teacher. According to him, the two did have signs of dating in junior high school, but their parents found out about it quickly, and they were even publicly criticized by the whole school.”

Xiao Song added from the side: "I also asked Yu Fangfang and Zhao Yanyu's classmate. He told me that after entering high school, Zhao Yanyu continued to pursue Yu Fangfang, but Yu Fangfang's attitude towards him plummeted. She was also flirting with multiple people at the same time, which means she was keeping Zhao Yanyu hanging on."

Bai Rushuang pondered, "So, Zhao Yanyu's hatred stemmed from love?"

"At first glance, it seems to make sense, but I always feel that the logical chain is not complete enough," Wei Qingsong said, frowning as he pondered.

If the root cause was simply love turned to hate, Zhao Yanyu had plenty of time to take revenge on Fangfang alone. Why did he take his anger out on other innocent people? And why did he wait so many years to carry out his revenge?

If he really is the murderer, then the reason that triggered his emotions cannot be summarized so superficially; there must be some overlooked details.

At this moment, Song Zhiyuan excitedly shouted, "Come on, everybody, look what I found!"

He snapped his fingers with great interest and said excitedly, "On August 22, the day Jiang Keying died, there was a major change in the shareholding of Hausen Taxi Company. Zhao Yanyu was no longer the largest shareholder."

"After Zhao Yanyu's company established itself, it was managed by his agent Li Yang. However, in the past three months, Li Yang has been secretly acquiring shares. On August 22, Li Yang's shares were 8% more than Zhao Yanyu's, which means that Zhao Yanyu has been officially sidelined by him."

"Who is this Li Yang?" Lu Jingming asked, his brows furrowing slightly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Xun slammed his keyboard down: "I just hacked into Hausen's meeting system and discovered something interesting. From the very beginning of Hausen's establishment, all of the company's major decision-making meetings have been chaired by Li Yang. It seems that Zhao Yanyu was only responsible for providing funding, and the real decision-maker has always been Li Yang."

"Such a thing is true?" Bai Rushuang's eyes widened in surprise. She suddenly realized what she had just said and frowned. "Wait, what did you just say?"

Cyber ​​intrusion is illegal evidence collection.

Seeing Bai Rushuang's angry expression, Zheng Xun quickly cleared his throat: "This is just a special situation. Our priority now is to solve the case. Using a few tricks won't hurt."

"You!" Bai Rushuang was furious. She poked his forehead with her finger. "If you dare to act so recklessly again, I'll teach you a lesson."

Zheng Xun quickly raised his hands to beg for forgiveness: "I'll listen to you, I won't dare to do it again next time."

As they were talking, Song Zhiyuan made another discovery: "I searched for the names of Li Yang and Zhao Yanyu on various financial forums. An insider posted that Li Yang was involved in the entire process of the once-popular ride-hailing coupon marketing campaign. This insider claimed to be a decision-maker at the Central Shopping Mall. However, the post did not get much attention, and the poster's account was also blocked. It seems that he was lobbied by someone."

He had barely finished speaking when Zheng Xun chimed in, staring at the computer screen, "This Li Yang is indeed quite capable. He graduated from an internationally renowned business school with straight A's and participated in student entrepreneurship activities while still in school. I don't know how Zhao Yanyu got involved with someone like him."

At this moment, Bai Rushuang finally understood: "So, Zhao Yanyu actually has no management skills. He just won the lottery and was responsible for paying for it. The so-called agent, Li Yang, is the real decision-maker behind Hausen Company. And now he is no longer satisfied with staying behind the scenes and wants to completely take control of Hausen Company."

“Zhao Yanyu spent so much money, only to have it all benefit others in the end. So, it’s natural that he would be extremely angry after learning that he had been sidelined.” Wei Qingsong’s eyes flickered slightly.

In this way, everything matched up, and her profile was flawless.

Zhao Yanyu chose to be a hands-off manager because he had no ability to manage the company at all; he preferred to be a driver rather than a company manager.

Therefore, he prefers to spend his free time driving for ride-hailing services.

His success was due to two reasons: first, he was lucky enough to win the lottery; and second, he had Li Yang behind him.

Zhao Yanyu is indeed not a highly intelligent person. He finally managed to defy fate and get to where he is today, but he was sidelined by the people he trusted. His fate can be described as full of ups and downs.

The middle-aged detective looked incredulous: "I can't believe it. I've seen his interviews before, and the way he answered questions seemed pretty convincing."

Zheng Xun lazily opened his mouth: "That's not surprising. For interviews like this, the script must have been prepared in advance. He just needs to memorize the answers to the questions."

The middle-aged detective still didn't quite understand: "But why would he hide the truth from the public? Isn't he afraid of being disgraced one day?"

He was lucky enough to win a three million lottery prize, and then successfully started a business. He became famous overnight, which inevitably led to countless people prying into his privacy. Giving interviews in public is undoubtedly walking on a knife's edge.

If the public were to discover that his successful image was all a facade, who knows what kind of storm it would cause.
