The Rise of the Peninsula

206 Chapter 0169 – Empathy
So he chose to "angrily" call the police, but he may not have expected that the smoke bomb he released turned out to be a prelude to revealing the truth of the cause of death by accident.

Of course, this is just Park Sang-won's speculation.According to the investigation principles of homicide cases, this cousin is still listed as a suspect for investigation.
The result was nothing.

There are various indications that the relationship between Ma Xingkong and his cousin is indeed very good. It can be said that a close cooperative relationship based on economics and family kinship has been formed. profit, but will cause huge losses to the enterprise.

Several professional investors have already shown strong interest in this company. If something like this happened during the negotiation and cooperation stage, the other party must re-evaluate the potential value of the company.

In terms of personal relationship, compared to his grumpy cousin Ma Xingkong, my cousin is a good man, with rules, duty, and a bit of cunning unique to a businessman. Their personalities complement each other perfectly.After learning more about the interpersonal relationship around Ma Xingkong, we preliminarily ruled out the suspect of committing the crime.

Ma Xingkong also has a son, naturally, he is also the focus of Park Shangyuan's investigation.

Park Shangyuan was a little disappointed when he saw this boy named Mali.The boy in front of him was very different from what he had imagined, with dull eyes and ordinary appearance.I was even a little surprised by his ordinary clothes and conversation, as the son of a small business owner, he was too ordinary. (
But he was not nervous, and looked very calm. Although there was some trembling when he spoke, it could be seen that he was not surprised that he was invited to the police station.

After a simple inquiry, Park Shangyuan realized that it was not just an accident, it was a common occurrence.

Not that the boy got into trouble a lot.On the contrary, this seemingly ordinary boy has excellent grades and is polite and humble. He has been in and out of the police station many times because of his father.

Yes, it was the dead Ma Xingkong.In the mouth of his son Mali, his father Ma Xingkong is a complete bastard.When mentioning his father, the boy showed a complicated expression for the first time, a kind of relief full of anger filled his heart
Ma Li said that his father was arrogant, arrogant, tyrannical, and vulgar, and he had been arguing and fighting with his mother constantly since he could remember.Strictly speaking, it was the father who beat the mother.

He often went to the police station to identify his father's domestic violence.In the frequent domestic violence, the mother was bruised and dying. Finally one day, when the weak boy rushed to protect his mother, he was pushed down by the door frame by his father and injured his head. The mother scratched and scratched his father like crazy. Bite, picked up the kitchen knife and furiously wanted to fight his father desperately, which frightened the vulgar man away.

Since then, they have divorced.Ma Li lives with her mother and refuses any charity from Ma XingKong.

Ma Xingkong was very annoyed by this, and there was nothing he could do about it, but apparently he turned this annoyance into a motivation to hang out, and began to associate with dubious women more frequently, and went to various entertainment venues, only in the monthly routine When visiting the child, he showed a little remorse and guilt, but in the blink of an eye, he was immersed in the anesthesia of alcohol again, leaving his son and ex-wife behind.

Three years ago, the heavy life finally crushed this woman. After a serious illness, her body changed rapidly and finally reached the end of her life.Until she swallowed her last breath in the hospital, the woman didn't let Ma Xingkong enter the ward.If it wasn't for the fact that he was so sick that his eyes could no longer see clearly, it would be impossible for Ma Xingkong to see his dying wife.

Although Ma XingKong regretted it in front of his wife, in Ma Li's view, everything was useless.

When Ma Ma told all this, his face remained expressionless, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.Only when he talked about his mother's passing away did he show a trace of sadness on his immature face.

"Do you hate your father?" Park Sang-won asked.

"Of course I hate it."Ma Li said: "I have long wished for his death, and now he is finally dead, I am very happy."

These words made Park Sang-won tremble in his heart. Park Sang-won looked into Ma Ma's eyes and asked, "How did your father die, do you know?"

Ma Li looked at me blankly, and I repeated the question before he said, "I don't know, I don't care."

He said indifferently: "I am not his son. He is just my medical father. Emotionally, my father died long ago. I only have a mother, not a father."

"Actually, to be honest, I wish he was dead, so I would feel better in my heart."

That's the end of the matter.Ma Li's account paints a picture of a family that is unhappy, but there is no clue to the killer.Although Ma Li said that he was very happy that his father Ma Xingkong died, but this does not mean that he was suspicious. Judging from his experience, it is understandable that he hates his father.

Besides, if Ma Li really poisoned his father, it would definitely not be a wise act to express his malice towards his father in such an undisguised manner in the police station.

However, the feeling belongs to the feeling, and professionalism still requires me to face every possible clue seriously.I, Park Shangyuan, investigated the recent whereabouts of Ma Li and his father in detail, and found that the lives of the two did not overlap.

The father and son did have a few phone calls before, but they haven't seen each other during this time.

Moreover, the conversation time between the two was very short, most of them were more than ten seconds.I asked Mali, and he said that it was Ma Xingkong's call to visit him, but he was rejected outright.

Ma Li said, let alone after his mother's death, he refused to visit Ma XingKong during his mother's lifetime. If his mother hadn't persuaded him, he would never have seen Ma XingKong at all.

The investigation showed that Ma Li was telling the truth. After his mother died, he did not meet Ma XingKong again, let alone communicate with him.

Pu Shangyuan also got a situation. When Ma Li’s mother passed away, Ma Xingkong left a sum of money to the hospital, and Ma Li received the money, but in the following years he has been studying and working part-time, and has never spent money on Ma Xingkong again. Pay empty money.On the contrary, Ma Xingkong sent money to his account every now and then, and the amount was not small, but Ma Xingkong never moved the money.

The investigation of the case fell into a dead end, and Park Shangyuan couldn't find any more valuable clues for a while.

For the sake of confidentiality, I certainly cannot disclose the ingredients of the causative drug here.But after consulting Lao Xu, I know that this kind of medicine is not difficult to buy, and it can be found in pharmacies everywhere.This virtually increases the difficulty of investigation. After all, it is difficult to determine the source of something that anyone can buy.

On the other hand, Ma Xingkong's social relationship is extremely complicated, and it takes time and effort to investigate.

Surprisingly, people who have been in contact with him have a good opinion of him.In the outside world, this person is honest, straightforward, shrewd and knows how to deal with him, and he is a rare businessman.

Ma Xingkong's complicated interpersonal relationship is a bottomless pit, and we can't find any breakthrough. After all, there are too many fake and playful entertainments in the business field, and trying to find usable clues from them is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Park Sang-won refocuses his attention on his cousin.He had frequent contacts with Ma XingKong and had a better understanding of Ma XingKong's life.

Moreover, the direction of the investigation during this period also came from him. All the restaurants, hotels and even private clubs I have been to are places where they often hang out.To be honest, judging from the consumption in these places, their businesses are indeed flourishing.

There is no need to hide it this time, Park Sang-won also wants to see his cousin's reaction after knowing the cause of death.Pu Shangyuan told him that Ma XingKong was indeed poisoned.However, the case has no clue so far, and it is unknown whether this cousin is a criminal suspect. I did not tell him more information.

The cousin was dumbfounded and couldn't speak for a long time.Since he had seen too many "acting school" criminals before, Park Sang-won just waited quietly for him to come to his senses, and then asked him with great interest why he was so surprised.

There is not much problem with the expression, it is an expression of surprise, but he is more worried, and this expression is not bad, after all, it is his own company.

"Didn't you say that your cousin's death was strange?" Park Sang-won asked.

He murmured and couldn't speak, and he hesitated for a long time before telling the truth.Sure enough, as I expected, he was dissatisfied with the fact that Ma Xingkong's son inherited the inheritance easily, and even had a place in the company. In addition, he was vaguely confused about the cause of his cousin's death, so he simply made things bigger and wanted to The matter of letting Ma Li inherit the inheritance was "halfway", at least not so smoothly.

Of course he couldn't tell others about the motive of this pickle.

"I don't believe you." Park Sang-won said bluntly: "After all, you, as the closest person to the deceased, hit the cause of his death in one fell swoop. Now you tell me that it is out of thin air. How can I believe it."

The cousin didn't expect Park Shangyuan to be so direct, and was stunned.When he came back to his senses, he said hesitantly, "I don't need to lie to you. What I said is true. If I were the murderer, why would the thief call for a thief?"

Indeed, he was right, but not because of his words, but because he had no motive for killing the dead man. The investigation showed that the death of his partner was not in any way good for him in any way, and it would hurt the business.

"Your cousin's wife is gone, and his relationship with his son is not good, do you know that?" Park Sang-won asked.

The cousin lowered his head and said after a long time: "Yes, I know. My cousin is a material for doing business, but as a man, he is really bad. To tell you the truth, I also persuaded He asked him several times, but he couldn't listen. Now his wife is gone, and he only cares about his son. Although he is usually very stubborn, the child is always a thorn in his heart. They have a bad relationship, and the child He didn’t answer his phone calls. He visited the school a few times, and he didn’t dare to use his mobile phone number to ask the children out, and he had to pretend to be a courier. Do you think it’s funny or not?”

When the cousin said this, he seemed to want to ease the atmosphere, and smiled with his mouth open, but in my opinion, that kind of smile was full of bitterness and helplessness.

"What happened next?" Park Sang-won asked.

"It's useless. He thought he could trick the child out by changing the voice on the phone. He was wrong. When the child came out and saw it was him, he turned around and left. Once I went with him and watched him kneel down for the child behind his back." "The cousin wiped his face, and then said: "That child is really hard-hearted, and he didn't look back after all."

Park Sang-won closed his eyes, as if he saw himself through this case.At that time, I also rejected my father's charity like this boy, and felt deeply saddened by the death of my mother, and worked tirelessly for it, just for revenge. This child is really similar to me, that is, he will be like himself Forbearable revenge?
"Why does the child hate him so much?" Park Sang-won asked.

"Don't you know?" My cousin was very surprised: "He beat his wife so badly that he hurt the child. After the business grew, he had a mistress outside. Of course the wife knew that she couldn't bear it, so he did it again. The child On the side, I couldn’t stand it any longer. I went up to stop him, but was slapped by him and fell to the ground, deaf in one ear.”

Pu Shangyuan's heart tightened: "His son is deaf in one ear?"

The cousin nodded: "This kid is also pitiful. There is such a father in the booth. So, I can understand that he hates his father. But my cousin is really a jerk, and there is no need to wash this."

No wonder the child has a dull expression, it turns out he can't hear in one ear, Park Sang-won thought to himself.

The strange thing is that the last time Ma Li came, he didn't tell me this from the beginning to the end, but he answered my questions fairly smoothly.In retrospect, I didn’t speak loudly to him at the time. Considering that his parents were gone and his background was pitiful, Park Sang-won deliberately lowered his voice a lot. Thinking about it this way, it is estimated that he half-heard and half-guessed the answers to many questions at that time. of.

Even so, he didn't mention his physical defects. It seems that this child has a strong self-esteem, and for a moment he thought of empathy.

It was like this again, he seemed to see a little shadow of himself in this child, but it was only fleeting, and he turned his head and started to deal with the man in front of him seriously.

The cousin's words reminded Park Shangyuan, "What's the name of the mistress?"

"I don't know what it's called." The cousin muttered: "At that time, his wife was desperate, and the mistress knew that she was frightened, and she never dared to associate with my cousin again. After all, he is looking for money. Is it really love? Otherwise, one day someone will pour acid on you and you won’t even know.”

"When did this happen?" Park Sang-won asked.

"It was many years ago, I can't remember clearly. He is rich now, and he has several mistresses." After the cousin finished speaking, he immediately felt uncomfortable, stopped the topic, and showed a mischievous smile on his face.

Pu Shangyuan was very interested in this and asked him to keep the contact information of Ma Xingkong's "girlfriends" he knew, but he said that he only knew the contact information of one of them, and this woman was Wei Fan.

When seeing Wei Fan, Pu Shangyuan was also quite surprised.This woman is 35 years old, no longer young, with a "true replacement" plastic face, a pointed chin, and towering prostheses.When Park Sang-won saw her, she was chatting happily with others.
