Chapter 478: Silencing!

Liang Yi fell down in front of the pillar in the middle of the room, with his hands tied behind his back.

His calves and soles of his feet were covered with large transparent blisters that were painful and itchy.

In the dark light, the beam of the flashlight shone on his face.

Liang Yi turned his head slightly to avoid the dazzling light.

Behind this man, there are two more people standing in the shadows, like two ghosts in the darkness.

The long-haired man shone the flashlight in his hand in his eyes and said in a cold voice: "You are the one who took my money?"

Liang Yi couldn't open his eyelids and couldn't see the man's face clearly.

He answered in a hoarse voice, "Let me go... Please let me go..."

The long-haired man smiled, and said with a hint of ridicule: "You are quite ruthless. Even 'Guanyin' can't do anything to you."

"I...I have confessed everything. Those two people have gone...to get the money."

The long-haired man shook his head: "Now it's not about money, you have to die."

Hearing this, Liang Yi tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids felt as if they were pricked by needles.

Finally, he gave up trying to look the man in the face and lowered his head heavily.

The long-haired man patted him on the shoulder and said, "Brother, I know your story. Many people can't control themselves when they encounter unexpected wealth. I almost wavered before, but I understand one thing: some money cannot be taken. If you take it, you will die."

Liang Yi simply closed his eyes, tears were squeezed out, irritating the wound at the corner of his eye, and then flowed down drop by drop.

He recalled in his mind what had happened in the past half month.

December 25th was when the nightmare began.

That day, when he walked into the rental house, Li Jun excitedly pulled him and pointed at the money hidden in the mattress. He was completely stunned.

They are all poor children from rural areas. Even though they have attended college, they have never seen ten thousand yuan.

With so much money, anyone would be confused!

Liang Yi was no exception. He and his girlfriend stood there in a daze, and then his mind was gripped by an idea.

With this money, you will never have to worry about anything in your life!

work to earn a living?

I will never work in my life!
The two men locked the door, took out the money with trembling hands, and piled it on the ground in stacks.

There were five hundred and twenty bundles of one hundred dollar bills tied together with rubber bands!

A full five million and two hundred thousand!
Liang Yi was shaking all over. He and Hu Lijun looked at each other and saw greed in each other's eyes.

Hu Lijun swallowed her saliva and said excitedly, "Ayi, with this money, your father's illness can be treated, and my parents don't have to work hard painting walls in other places. And most importantly, I have 80,000 yuan for my betrothal gift."

Liang Yi always had a question in his mind, that is, who hid the money in the mattress?

landlord?

But he immediately rejected the idea. If the money really belonged to the landlord, why would he dare to rent the house to them?

That must be the previous tenant!

After he expressed his doubts, Hu Lijun looked determined and said, "Who cares who the money belongs to? It's ours now!"

The two men immediately discussed that they could not continue to live in this rental house and must take the money with them.

In the afternoon, they took the elevator downstairs and had a luxurious meal outside that they could not afford normally, spending more than 600 yuan.

The money for the meal was paid by Hu Lijun's credit card, which was the only money we had left.

As for the 5.2 million in cash, they didn't dare to touch it.

After returning to the rental house, the two spent the night in anxiety and almost did not sleep all night.

The next day, they threw the suitcases of clothes into the washing machine and stuffed the money into two suitcases.

The money was not enough to fill Liang Yi’s backpack, so he also put 300,000 yuan in cash.

So, the two left the rental house and found a high-end hotel to stay in.

The reason why he did not leave Longchuan City immediately was the decision made by Liang Yi.

He had no idea where the money came from and was afraid of retaliation later.

So he spent several days waiting in the Lotus Community to see if anyone would come looking for the money.

After watching for three days, he saw that nothing happened and his tense heart calmed down.

Who knew that at this time he had been targeted by a group of people.

When meeting Hu Lijun in the mall, the two men, one tall and one short, kidnapped Hu Lijun.

Liang Yi watched helplessly as his girlfriend was dragged into a van outside the mall.

It was too late for him to rescue them. He didn't know who these people were, nor how much danger they were about to face.

But Liang Yi understood that the other party must have come for the money.

He hurried back to the hotel room, took away two suitcases, and rented a yard in Wutong Lane.

He was unfamiliar with Longchuan City and couldn't find anyone to help him. He wanted to call the police, but he was still hoping for a lucky break.

He could only wait for those people to come find him and use the money to redeem Li Jun.

In order to prevent them from getting the money all at once, he hid the 5.2 million in three places.

Of course, he still wanted to save as much money as possible. Just as Lijun said, they really needed the money, whether it was for his father's medical treatment or for his future life with Lijun.

However, just two days later, a female corpse was found floating in the Longchuan River.

Liang Yi heard the discussion among the people on the street and rushed to the scene, only to find that the body was actually his girlfriend, Hu Lijun.

she is dead!
Liang Yi could hardly believe that these people dared to kill people!
He completely collapsed. When he returned to the rental house, the first thing he thought of was calling the police. Only by calling the police could the murderer be brought to justice.

However, when he arrived at Longchuan Police Station, he still did not have the courage to step through that door.

There seemed to be another self in his mind, constantly encouraging him: Don't call the police, that's more than five million, you can never earn that much money in your lifetime!

With this money, I can pay for my father’s treatment and my life will also change!

Just take the money with you, go to a strange place, hide your identity for a while, and everything will be fine.

There are millions of women in the world, why bother about someone who is already dead?

Besides, my girlfriend’s body has been salvaged by the police. These policemen are very capable and will definitely track down the murderers. There is no need for me to call the police myself.

In the end, greed triumphed over reason!
Liang Yi chose to hide first and wait and see what would happen.

He hid in a daze for several days, and sometimes went to the police station or the municipal bureau to watch, wanting to know whether the police had caught the murderer.

As long as the police catch the murderer and Li Jun is cleared of all charges, he can take the money and flee with peace of mind.

But things did not go as planned. There was no movement at the police station. Not only that, he was caught by the two murderers, and ended up in this situation.

Liang Yi knew that he was going to die, and it was all because of greed and his constant hope in life.

She missed the opportunity to live again and again. If she had chosen to call the police immediately when she found the huge amount of cash, Lijun would not have died, and she would not have suffered so much.

At this moment, the long-haired man in front of him turned off the flashlight, and the room was completely dark, with only the faint blue-gray night light outside.

The long-haired man stood up and told the two people behind him, "Go to the roadside and see if anyone is coming."

"Okay." The two nodded and walked out of the house.

Liang Yi opened his eyes and saw a bright light of fire in the room.

That was the cigarette in the long-haired man's hand.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside the house. The long-haired man threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground, put it out with the sole of his shoe, and then walked out of the house.

The yard was all weeds, with a trampled path down the left side.

The two men of the long-haired man surrounded a middle-aged man and brought him under the eaves.

"Brother Bin?" Old Yang's pupils shrank when he saw the man under the eaves.

He quickly tiptoed and tried to look into the mud house.

The long-haired man named "Brother Bin" tilted his neck and looked at him: "What are you looking at? The person is not dead."

"No..." Lao Yang licked his lips: "My boss didn't come?"

"Don't be silly, Yang Guoguang, don't you know your boss? 'Guanyin' never shows up."

Yang Guoguang swallowed his saliva and said, "Isn't this the message my boss sent me?"

"That's right." The long-haired man nodded, took out a pistol from his waist and put it in his hand.

“Old Yang, Guanyin calls you Commander Yang because he is affirming your ability. You can manage these mules well and help him manage the business.

Guanyin said, our place used to be the ancient Tea-Horse Road, and goods have been transported here for thousands of years, but now it is different from before, and what we do cannot be seen in public.

But in this recent business, your people lost my money, more than five million, not only can you not find it back, but you also exposed us..."

Upon hearing this, Yang Guoguang was startled and wanted to touch his lower back, but the person behind him got there first, pulled out a pistol from his waist, and kicked him forward.

Yang Guoguang lunged forward and knelt on one knee.

The long-haired man then squatted down and looked down at him from the steps.

The long-haired man pointed the gun in his hand into the house.

"Old Yang, you are just as greedy as the young man in the room! The five million is neither your money nor Guanyin's money.

You guys help me transport the goods, and I've paid enough for the transportation costs. After all, we're all risking our lives. Besides, I have to give a large part of the money to the suppliers, right?
Now that things have turned out like this, I have to pay compensation, and Guanyin has to pay compensation. We had already accepted the loss of this matter, we couldn't afford to be visited by the police and lose our lives.

But you, being greedy, sent two of your men to confront the police head-on..."

Only then did Yang Guoguang understand the whole story. The hairs on his back stood up and his heart was pounding.

"Brother Bin, please listen to my explanation. I don't want to embezzle the money. I want to recover the losses of you and the boss. I will give the money back to the boss. I won't take a single cent!
I have been with the boss for many years and have never been greedy for a single cent. I, Yang, swear to heaven!"

"Really?" The long-haired man smiled and said, "Then Guanyin told me that she had told you to stop, why didn't you listen?"

"I..." Yang Guoguang pointed inside the house: "The kid started talking, and I called the youngest brother. The youngest and second oldest brother went to get the money. I thought the police wouldn't act that quickly..."

"Your two men won't come back!" The long-haired man sighed, "Hongxia Road has been surrounded by police. It would be fine if they died, but if they don't, we'll all be in trouble."

Yang Guoguang was startled and wanted to stand up, but he didn't dare to.

The long-haired man continued, "Why do you think I have worked with your boss for so many years? People should always have their own value."

He patted his knees, stood up and waved to his men at the bottom of the stairs.

The other party took out a knife from his waist. The long-haired man took it and handed it to Yang Guoguang.

"I won't say any more. Take the knife and deal with the young man in the room. After that, you should prepare to run away. Guanyin has prepared some money for you. You can go to Myanmar to hide for a while. Guanyin is a good person. If it were me, you would not have such a good ending."

Yang Guoguang's throat kept rolling as he spoke intermittently: "I... I have never killed anyone..."

"Everything has a first time, it's okay." The long-haired man patted his shoulder and said, "If you don't deal with the hidden dangers you left behind, do you still want me to do it? Besides, I still have to take you out. No matter what, you have to give me a token of your loyalty."

Yang Guoguang gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

He stood up, took the knife and went up the stairs.

The long-haired man took two steps back and shouted to his two men at the bottom of the stairs: "A Biao, Brother Lang, take him in."

The two men nodded and pushed Yang Guoguang into the dark room.

In the darkness, the young man sat in front of the pillar.

His head was originally lowered to one side, but when he heard the footsteps, he immediately raised his face.

Yang Guoguang walked closer, holding the knife handle tightly in his hand.

"Don't blame me, kid. I had no choice. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too young!"

After Yang Guoguang finished speaking, he closed his eyes and stabbed him with the knife.

"Pfft..."

The tip of the knife was pulled out, and a pool of warm blood sprayed on the back of Yang Guoguang's hand.

Then he stabbed a second time.

A Biao behind him took his knife and touched Liang Yi's neck, then turned around and said to the long-haired man outside the house: "Brother Bin, he's almost dead."

"What do you mean almost?"

"There's still one breath left."

"This place is deserted and the person is tied up. He will die anyway. Let's not waste time and leave now."

"it is good."

Yang Guoguang followed the three men out of the house in a daze, and shuttled through the weeds and thorns.

The long-haired man walked at the end. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number.

After the call was connected, he said, "Guanyin, the person has been dealt with. The police should not be able to find anything on us. By the way, you owe me a favor. How are you going to repay me? When will you come out so we can have a meal together? Okay, okay, I'll cut my hair."

Twenty minutes later they were back on the road.

There was a black Honda car parked on the side of the road, and a group of four people came to the car.

"A Biao, the key." The long-haired man looked at his men and narrowed his eyes slightly.

A Biao threw the key to him. The long-haired man opened the car door with the remote control and sat in the driver's seat.

A Biao opened the rear door and said to Lao Yang, "Let's go. What are you standing there for?"

Yang Guoguang's eyelids twitched. He got into the back seat and A Biao followed him in.

A man named 'Brother Lang' got on the bus from the other side.

Yang Guoguang was trapped in the middle of the back seat. He leaned forward and said to the long-haired man who was starting the car: "Brother Bin, are we leaving now? Can I go home to get some things? I have to take my mother's portrait with me."

"Okay." The long-haired man looked in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "By the way, Lao Yang, what do you think your boss likes to eat? Western food? Or Chinese food?"

Yang Guoguang shook his head: "I don't know."

"Then you should know what he likes, right?"

"I...I'm not too sure."

The long-haired man shrugged and said, "You don't know anything. Forget it. I'll figure it out myself."

As he said this, he drove the car into the middle of the road.

Yang Guoguang looked at A Biao who was sitting on the right and was about to say something when the long-haired man spoke up: "Old Yang, don't blame us..."

"What...what..." Before he could finish his words, he felt a pain in his waist.

Yang Guoguang covered his right waist with his hand and found it was covered in blood.

He looked up and saw that A Biao was holding the sharp knife that he had used to kill the young man.

"you……"

The long-haired man sighed as he drove, "It's not me who wants you dead, it's Guanyin who ordered you to do it. If you do something stupid, you have to take responsibility.

If you die, the police won't be able to find us, and Guanyin will have to continue looking for mules, and the business must go on, don't you think?"

Yang Guoguang didn't hear what he said at all. He gritted his teeth, stretched out his bloody hand, and tried to grab the knife.

But 'Brother Lang', who was sitting on his left, pulled him by the shoulder and stabbed him in the lung.

Immediately afterwards, A Biao stabbed him again.

Two people surrounded Yang Guoguang and stabbed him with their knives again and again.

The long-haired man glanced in the rearview mirror and reached out to turn on the car radio.

The gentle and sweet voice of a female host came from the radio.

"Listeners, there will be light rain in the morning and at noon tomorrow. It's cold, so please dress warmly. Also, I just received a call from a driver who said that there is traffic congestion on Hongxia Road. I hope that drivers who can hear the broadcast will take a detour..."

In the back seat of the car, Yang Guoguang's pupils dilated, he exhaled his last breath, and collapsed on the back of the chair, blood dripping from his mouth...

The long-haired man sighed and muttered, "It's a dark and windy night, perfect for murder. Ah Biao, Brother Lang, you guys are too impulsive. The car is covered in blood. Can't you just strangle him to death?
Change clothes later, we still have to get rid of one person."

----------

Hongxia Road, in the command vehicle on the roadside.

Luo Rui sat in a chair with his eyes closed. The car door was open and police officers kept getting in and out of the car, but seeing that he had his eyes closed, they didn't dare to make too much noise for fear of disturbing him.

It was already ten o'clock in the evening, and two hours had passed since the pursuit began.

The criminal police and the special police who arrived were all investigating outside, but they mainly relied on the people in the video team.

The key to the investigation is where these two criminals came from and where Liang Yi was taken.

After a moment, Li Pinghai got into the car in a hurry.

Luo Rui recognized his footsteps and opened his eyes slightly.

"Mr. Luo." Li Pinghai bent over. There was no empty seat for him in the car.

Luo Rui moved to the side to make room for him.

"Thank you." Li Pinghai's butt was only touched on one side, and he handed the two documents in his hand to Luo Rui.

"This is what the city police just found out. The identities of the two criminals have been revealed."

Luo Rui reached out and turned on the light on the roof, then held two printed A4 papers in front of him.

As he watched, Li Pinghai said, "These two are cousins. The one who died was Zeng Daqiang, and the short one who was sent to the hospital was Zhou Feng. They are both from Yunnan Province."

Luo Rui nodded: "What do they do?"

"These two brothers have done many things, including bricklayers and masons. As for what their current occupation is, we are still investigating."

After Li Pinghai finished speaking, he added: "By the way, we also matched their footprints. These two people are the two criminals who broke into the funeral home and destroyed the bodies."

"They are not the masterminds." Luo Rui replied.

"That's right." Li Pinghai had learned his lesson and stopped embarrassing himself. He said hurriedly, "We are already investigating the relationship between these two people and Wan Gui and Yong Cong."

"Especially Yong Cong." Luo Rui reminded: "This person may be in the same group as them. The money we found was most likely hidden by Yong Cong. Where did this money come from? This is very important."

"I understand. I'll tell Lao Zhang right away and ask them to speed up the investigation of Yong Cong's social experience."

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes and said, "Let's ask the Narcotics Squad to cooperate. Such a large amount of illegal money is likely to be a drug transaction."

Li Pinghai nodded: "I'll make the arrangements."

He was just about to leave when Chu Yang got into the car in a hurry.

"Team leader, we retrieved the surrounding surveillance footage based on the motorcycle the two criminals were driving and found their movements."

"So fast?" Luo Rui perked up.

"It was all thanks to Director Ding's help. He organized a video team of nearly 100 people. Before we arrested them, they were already checking the surveillance cameras around Hongxia Road."

"what's the result?"

"The criminals drove this Jialing motorcycle towards Shangpo Town."

"you sure?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed."

Luo Rui narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Let's go to Shangpo Town."

Lin Chen, who was sitting in the back seat, immediately said, "Guo Lexuan and Forensic Doctor Jin are taking hydrological samples in Shangpo Town during the day today."

"You call them."

"it is good."

Li Pinghai quickly asked: "Boss Luo, do you want to bring special police with you?"

"Take a team with you." After getting off the bus, Luo Rui changed to a police car.

Thirteen police cars, with red and blue police lights flashing on their roofs, headed for Shangpo Town, more than fifty kilometers away.

At the same time, the black Toyota driven by the long-haired man was still speeding on the Sichuan River National Highway.

The radio continued to report the traffic conditions: "The traffic congestion on Hongxia Road is good. If there are drivers heading to Hongxia Road, there is no need to take a long detour..."

The weather forecast previously predicted by the radio was not accurate, and it has started to rain lightly.

The rain dripped on the windshield and the long-haired man turned on the wipers.

When he turned the corner, his pupils suddenly shrank.

A long line of police cars was coming from the opposite direction, and the one in the front was an armed police car of the special police.

The two people in the back seat also saw the situation ahead.

The long-haired man stepped on the brakes and quickly reminded them, "Don't panic, there is more than one car on the road. You two should quickly hide the body under your feet!"

The two people in the back seat swallowed their saliva and hurriedly did as they were told.

As the police car got closer, the long-haired man's heart almost jumped out of his chest.

"Hold the weapon in your hands. If something unexpected happens, we can only fight hard!"
