Reborn in 97, I solved a cold case at the Municipal Bureau

Chapter 342 The Pursuit of Fu Daqing

The person who was escorted off the car by Chen Dejiang was Huang Yanli.

Her hair was loose, she was wearing a light blue tracksuit, her expression was somewhat stiff, and her hands were in front of her, wearing bright silver handcuffs.

As soon as they got out of the car, a sudden downpour began.

Chen Dejiang quickly pulled her forward, but Huang Yanli stood stiffly in place, looking up at the black night sky where raindrops kept falling, letting the large raindrops hit her carefully maintained face.

Zhou Yi noticed that Huang Yanli seemed to have a helpless, cold smile on her lips.

Chen Dejiang gave it another tug, and Huang Yanli's slender body was pulled forward.

"Team Leader Pan, the person has been brought back," Chen Dejiang said.

Pan Hongjie nodded: "Why did it take so long?"

"Oh, don't even mention it. The little one was crying, the old one was making a fuss, and in the end she had to change her clothes, so it was delayed."

"Take him to the interrogation room, I'll be right there."

"Ok."

Raindrops clung to Huang Yanli's face and hair, making her look somewhat pitiful, especially considering her delicate features.

But after interrogating Zheng Tianlan, Zhou Yi realized that this woman was cunning and manipulative, a rose with thorns.

"Officer Zhou, I didn't expect to see you again so soon." Huang Yanli suddenly said as she walked past Zhou Yi.

Everyone was taken aback. What was she going to do?

Zhou Yi turned to look at her, his face expressionless, and said, "The fact that we've met again so soon is not up to us, but up to you. You know better than anyone what you've done."

Huang Yanli paused for two seconds, then suddenly smiled, the same kind of smile as before, a smile tinged with helplessness and a touch of desolation.

For a fleeting moment, Zhou Yi had the illusion that she had been wronged.

But he quickly came to his senses.

Huang Yanli was escorted away by Chen Dejiang. Zhou Yi watched her back and thought to himself, no wonder Zheng Tianlan was so infatuated with her, this woman is really not simple.

"Captain Pan..." Zhou Yi was about to ask if he could sit in on the interrogation of Huang Yanli.

Pan Hongjie said, "Go and rest for a while, you still need to pick up your colleague later. Don't worry about Huang Yanli, she's just a weak woman, I don't believe we can't get her to talk."

Zhou Yi knew that Pan Hongjie was no longer wary of him and simply felt that things had come to this point and there was no major problem.

It's more important to rest yourself and then pick up the person.

He nodded, not insisting any further, hoping the interrogation would go smoothly.

Pan Hongjie took him to the duty room before leaving and heading to the interrogation room.

Zhou Yi closed the door, and the small duty room became unusually quiet, with only the sound of heavy rain hitting the windowpane.

Zhou Yi sat on the folding bed. There was an old-fashioned alarm clock on the bedside table. He picked it up, set the time, and then put it back in its original place.

I've been running around all day, but suddenly I've stopped and it's quiet, and I feel a sense of joy in stealing a moment of peace from my busy schedule.

However, he only enjoyed this quiet for a short while, about ten minutes, before taking out his phone and dialing Chen Yan's number.

After a brief pause, the call was connected.

"Brother Yan, this is Zhou Yi. Have you arrived in Lujiang yet?"

"We've arrived," Chen Yan replied on the other end of the phone.

"Is that person Fu Daqing?"

"It should be Fu Daqing; we've compared the photos."

Chen Yan's words startled Zhou Yi. What did he mean by "should be"? Since he had seen the person, why did he say that the photos had been compared?
"Brother Yan, is something wrong?" Zhou Yi asked quickly.

"Fu Daqing jumped off the bridge to escape, but was hit by a car and is still in critical condition."

"what?"

……

One evening earlier, in a rural suburb of Lujiang City, an old man was carrying a hoe back from working in the fields. When he passed by a thatched hut, he found a person lying motionless at the door with their head outside and their legs inside.

The old man walked over curiously to take a look and found that the person was still breathing, with some dried vomit stains on the ground nearby.

It seems that she fainted while trying to walk out, and it's unclear how long she's been lying there.

The kind-hearted old man immediately ran to the village chief's house to call for help, because only the village chief's house and the village committee had telephones.

The village chief immediately called for an ambulance and then rushed to the thatched hut with his men.

The surrounding villagers, hearing the news, all came to see what was going on.

Since they were all from the same village, everyone knew each other and said they didn't recognize the man who had fainted, since outsiders rarely came to the village.

Some people recognized that the thatched hut as the Zhao family's old house, which had been abandoned for seven or eight years and was now used as a storage place for miscellaneous items and firewood.

The village chief then called over Old Zhao, a farmer, and asked him if he knew this outsider with a big beard.

Old Zhao said he knew the man; he was indeed from out of town. He had been carrying firewood when the man came up to him and asked if he wanted to rent the house. Old Zhao wondered if the man was a conman, since there was nothing in the house except a bed board that was from many years ago.

Unexpectedly, the other party initially asked for ten yuan a month, so Old Zhao bargained with him and finally agreed on fifteen yuan a month. Old Zhao gave him an old cotton quilt and then moved all the firewood from inside the house outside. The village chief asked Old Zhao, "Why do you make money from all sorts of things? Didn't you even think to ask what this guy does for a living?"

Old Zhao retorted, "Why didn't I ask? I did ask, and he said he lost all his money in business and came to hide from his debts. He said he'd stay for at most two months. I figured two months would be thirty yuan, so why not make some money? If he doesn't give it to me, who do you think you are?"

The village chief went into the house and found it in a mess. The bedding on the bed was pushed aside, and there were some uneaten food in plastic bags at the other end. There was also an empty bottle of liquor on the floor.

The village chief pondered, "He's probably drunk."

Then the ambulance arrived and took the person into the vehicle. The village chief had no choice but to get in as well.

He wanted to ask Lao Zhao to come along, saying that the accident happened because he rented Lao Zhao's house, but Lao Zhao said, "What does this have to do with me?" and left.

After being taken to the nearest township hospital, the experienced doctor examined him and suspected alcohol poisoning, advising them to take him to the county hospital as he couldn't treat him there. He could only administer intravenous fluids to neutralize the alcohol in his blood, lest he die on the way.

They also said that if the alcohol poisoning is severe, then hemodialysis is necessary, otherwise the person will die.

The village chief could only follow them to the county hospital, where it was confirmed to be alcohol poisoning, and blood tests were immediately conducted for emergency treatment.

When the doctor asked the village chief to pay the bill, the village chief was dumbfounded. He said that he was the village chief and that the man was from out of town who had rented a house in their village. He didn't know him at all.

After listening to the doctor's explanation, the emergency physician suggested that the village chief call the police immediately.

When the police arrived, they tried to find something on the patient that could prove his identity, but they found nothing.

They asked the village chief, but he didn't know either. So they told the hospital to treat the man first, and the two policemen drove the village chief back to the village to see if there were any clues at the man's residence.

The result was still fruitless; the person didn't even have an ID card.

However, that empty bottle of liquor was a completely counterfeit product, and it's likely that the person got poisoned from drinking it.

However, the village chief was quite pleased because the police found more than four thousand yuan in cash in the man's bag.

This means that the village chief no longer needs to worry about the hospital or police asking him to pay medical expenses in advance.

But besides the money, there was also a dagger in the bag, which aroused the suspicion of the police.

So the two police officers split up and rushed back in two groups. One went to the hospital to see the other person, while the other rushed back to the police station to check the arrest warrant and the notice of assistance.

At the hospital, the doctors confirmed that the patient had mild alcohol poisoning, was not in life-threatening danger, and would likely wake up soon.

Back at the police station, the officers compared information such as height and age and found three possible matching notices, one of which was from Hongcheng concerning Fu Daqing.

Then Hongcheng received a call and verified the information.

Just to be on the safe side, Lu Jiang also took photos and faxed them over, so Wu Yongcheng chose to lead his men directly to attack.

However, Lu Jiang's feedback was that the person hadn't woken up yet, even though the doctor said he would wake up soon.

However, just to be on the safe side, the police arranged a private room for the man at the hospital and handcuffed him to the bed, waiting for Wu Yongcheng and his men to arrive.

But just as Wu Yongcheng and his group were about to arrive, the police officer on guard went to urinate, and when he returned, he found that the person in the hospital bed was gone.

The railings that had been holding the patient in place had come loose, and rusty screws lay on the ground.

The person who escaped fled the hospital and nearly crashed into a car at an intersection.

This car came from Hongcheng.

Wu Yongcheng noticed something was wrong and told Jiang Biao to quickly turn around and chase after the person from before.

It was at this moment that the police from the local police station called to tell them that the suspect had fled.

Because it was too dark, it was difficult to observe the situation from inside the car, so Jiang Biao parked the car on the side of the road. The three of them immediately got out of the car and spotted a suspicious figure running wildly. The three of them immediately gave chase.

The dark figure realized someone was chasing him and fled for his life.

Then the unexpected happened.

The dark figure ran onto a pedestrian bridge.

Wu Yongcheng immediately shouted, "Biaozi, block both ends!"

Jiang Biao understood, seized a gap in the traffic, and risked his life to quickly cross the road.

This prompted the driver to honk the horn incessantly and curse.

Fortunately, there weren't too many vehicles these days, so the incident passed without any serious consequences.

And they successfully blocked people on the overpass.

The dark figure, having just reached the middle of the overpass, found himself caught between two people, leaving him in a dilemma.

Seeing people running towards him from both sides, he immediately climbed onto the concrete railing of the overpass.

This startled Wu Yongcheng and his men. Wu Yongcheng immediately stopped and signaled to Jiang Biao not to make any rash moves, lest he provoke the other party.

Then he shouted, "Fu Daqing, stop running around. Instead of running around in such fear, you should confess your problems properly and try to get lenient treatment."

Hearing this, the dark figure who had climbed the railing paused for a moment, as if the words had struck a nerve.

Wu Yongcheng could see that he was wavering, so he slowly moved forward, telling him to slowly come down.

But just then, the shadowy figure slipped and fell to the ground.

Just then, a small truck passed by.
