chasing the dark

Chapter 253 Important clues
The days of torment did not last long, and news soon came in, making Su Liang simply shut up about the questions he couldn't answer.

Su Liang did as he said, and soon the prosecutor was replaced by the policeman who handled the case before.

After that, he was idle, and no one came to interrogate him for almost a month or two.

When the procuratorate came again, he was no longer the previous prosecutor.

I stayed in the detention center until the end of the year with anxiety, and finally waited for the court hearing notice.

Before the end of the last trial, when the judge announced his release in court, Su Liang didn't know how to describe his mood at that time.

The old ghost sent someone to take him to a hotel and greet him personally.While praising him for doing a good job, he gave him a bag with 30 cash in it.And promised that the rest of the money will be paid in one lump sum when the probation period expires.

That was the first time Su Liang saw so much money, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say, so he could only keep thanking the old ghost.

The old ghost patted him on the shoulder and said that the probation is still in the sentence, so he must be careful not to cause trouble.In addition, don't rush to spend the money first, otherwise it will easily attract suspicion.

Su Liang was obedient, and went back to his home in the suburbs that night, and stayed at home honestly from that day on.Rarely go out unless necessary.

In this way, he did not return to downtown Mingyang until the probation period expired.

The old ghost readily gave the balance, and not long after, he changed his identity to Gao Dawei, and told him that if there was such a business again, he would be allowed to go.

In two years, he earned 50 yuan without doing anything. The money came quickly and he didn't feel bad when he spent it. Su Liang began to live the life he wanted.

At first he was just eating, drinking and having fun, but gradually, he fell in love with gambling.

The psychology of gamblers is very simple. If you lose, you want to win back what you lost, and if you win, you want to win more.In this way, 50 yuan was lost, and a lot of debts were owed.

Lin Hai runs a casino and lends money. He first releases the money and doesn't rush to pay it back.After Su Liang owed more than 70 yuan in interest, he asked his subordinates to press for the debt.

Su Liang went to the old ghost for help, but Lin Hai was not easy to mess with. The old ghost didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he found an excuse to push him away.

Being cornered, Su Liang kidnaps Lin Hai's son, Lin Jiahao.

He thought very simply, and forced Lin Hai to tear up the IOU, and the debt was cancelled.

Unexpectedly, Lin Hai's wife directly called the police.In this way, Su Liang was imprisoned again as Gao Dawei until now.

The first team had a burglary and homicide case at hand, and Ye Zhanzhou and Jiang Yu had finally found time for this trip, so they had to go back quickly.

Knowing the general course of the matter, they didn't stay long, and drove back to Mingyang.

……

The name Old Ghost reappeared and became an important clue.

There is a case in the team, and the work at hand cannot be slackened. As the leader of the team, Ye Zhanzhou is too busy to take care of other things.

Fortunately, the police station where Chen Chaoran was located was in the north of the city, so Jiang Yu took the time to go there and ask him about the old ghost.

At noon, the two met at the fast food restaurant they had agreed upon.It was the rush hour for dining, and the shop was full of people, but it was convenient to talk.

After ordering food and finding a seat by the window, Jiang Yu explained his purpose.

Chen Chaoran frowned when he heard this: "I've been here for several years, and I've never heard of a gangster with this nickname."

"It is said that five or six years ago, he was very useful in the north of the city," Jiang Yu said.

"Wait, I'll find someone to ask."

Chen Chaoran took out his mobile phone and flipped through it for a while, dialed a number, talked nonsense to the other party, and asked if he knew the old ghost.

Seeing his expression constantly changing, Jiang Yu said "Oh, so it's him", and knew that there must be some clues.

After he hung up the line, she asked, "Do you know the old ghost?"

Chen Chaoran looked speechless, and nodded: "I know, but I really didn't expect it to be him."

"Come on, eat it while it's hot." He introduced while eating, "This man's name is Guo Huai..."

Hearing the name, Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing: "The civet cat for the prince?"

"What! He is full of feelings. Don't interrupt, listen to me." Chen Chaoran waved his hands, "This old Guo has two houses in the village in the city... No, to be precise, there is a building and a small courtyard. "

Seeing Jiang Yu's surprised face, he explained: "It's not a high-rise building, but a two-story self-built house. This kind of house is everywhere in the villages in the city. In the early years, it was considered a rural area, and a piece of land was used to build a two-story house. It is not difficult to build a building. Later, the city expanded and the farmland was expropriated, leaving only the village. Lao Guo’s family was a land household there, and the courtyard of the old house lived by himself. The second floor was rebuilt and converted into eight single rooms rent."

"Last year, a mother and daughter rented a house in Lao Guo's. The two were not very good at thinking. They played music in the middle of the night and jumped around in the house. The sound insulation of that kind of house is not good. They always make noises and disturb the people. In less than three months, the neighbors have called the police several times in a row, and they have called the police two or three times when I was on duty. This kind of thing is difficult to deal with, so I can only persuade."

Chen Chaoran shook his head helplessly: "Old Guo wanted the mother and daughter to move out, but they didn't agree, saying that after signing a one-year contract, it was a breach of contract for the landlord to evict. The two lived for three months, and paid a month's rent before getting them out."

"Is this brain not good enough? It's not very good at all." Jiang Yu clicked his tongue in disbelief.

"Who knows, it's quite difficult anyway." Chen Chaoran grinned, "I met Lao Guo at that time. He was disabled and didn't have a job, so he relied on renting a house to support himself. Although he collected a lot of rent every year, this If you didn’t make any money, you still lost money.”

"Disability? What's wrong?" Jiang Yu asked.

"One leg is lame and uses crutches. It is said that it was a disability caused by work injuries in the first few years and a broken leg."

Chen Chaoran leaned forward and said in a low voice: "But he looks very kind, if you don't tell me, I really didn't realize that he used to be a gangster."

"It's reached a certain level, just like the big bosses in Shanghai in the past." Jiang Yu was noncommittal.

"That's true." Chen Chaoran smiled, "Shall I take you there after dinner?"

Jiang Yu thought for a while and said, "No need for now. Brother Chen, help me find out how his leg was injured."

Chen Chaoran nodded: "Success, I'll find someone to inquire about it later."

"Don't let him find out!" Jiang Yu hurriedly urged.

"Brother Chen is doing business, why are you worried?" Chen Chaoran picked up a toothpick holder and poured out one, and asked in a low voice, "Sister, is the person you are looking for involved in some big case?"

Jiang Yu hesitated for a moment, but still didn't tell him the truth: "Anyway, be careful."

After thinking about it, she told him again: "You just need to ask how his legs are lame, and don't ask too much about anything else."

"Okay." Chen Chaoran nodded, "If you still need something, just say something."
