The Case of Love

Chapter 60 The Missing Feng Yong

"Yes, Captain Zhou!" After hearing that Zhou Yifeng had already made arrangements, Su Xiaohan no longer insisted on her own opinion.

Fortunately, the anti-drug team arrived quickly, and with the assistance of Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan, they captured the man and his accomplices, and found drugs on them.

The interrogation of the anti-drug brigade soon yielded results. The man in charge was called Li Dongliang, nicknamed Daliang, and was also from Village F. He was from the same hometown as Ma Chungang. Faced with the facts, Li Dongliang admitted to drug trafficking, but he said that he was just following orders and that there was a boss above him, Liu Yunjia, the chairman of Yunjia Company.

When the police said that Ma Chungang had been killed, Li Dongliang showed a complicated and sad expression on his face. This made Wang Zecheng, the captain of the anti-drug brigade, see the clue. After interrogation, Li Dongliang told the truth. It turned out that he and Ma Chungang were not only from the same hometown, but also had a good relationship. Before his death, Ma Chungang told him that he did something he shouldn't have done on impulse, angered his boss, and he might be punished by his boss. He just thought it was a joke and didn't mind it. He also asked Ma Chungang what he had done, but Ma Chungang didn't tell him. Now thinking about it, he thinks Ma Chungang's death may be related to this.

Wang Zecheng relayed Li Dongliang's words to Zhou Yifeng, who felt it necessary to ask him again, perhaps to learn more clues.

Zhou Yifeng's judgment was correct. The information he learned from Li Dongliang finally made new progress in the case. Li Dongliang said that he and Ma Chungang had the same tattoo because they were good friends in the village. The tattoo on their hands was done together before, and they thought it was cool. Moreover, with Zhou Yifeng's reminder, he also remembered a person named Feng Yong, who, like Lu Xiaotian, was Liu Yunjia's confidant. Ma Chungang once said that he was a cruel person and was very afraid of him.

Based on the clues provided by Li Dongliang, Zhou Yifeng immediately launched an investigation into Feng Yong. Feng Yong's phone was unreachable and was turned off. People in the company said they didn't know where he was. His family said he went out to avoid debt, but they didn't know where he went. They had reported the case a few months ago to look for the missing Feng Yong. But according to the police in charge of the case, Feng Yong's bank account, car, and ID card had not been used once since he disappeared, which was not in line with common sense, because a person needs expenses when he is away from home.

Zhou Yifeng took people to Feng Yong's home and found a blood-stained coat. After inspection, the blood was found to be from Ma Chungang. The case came to an end and Feng Yong became a wanted criminal for murder.

At lunch, Su Xiaohan was so absorbed in the case that she had no appetite. Zhou Yifeng put a piece of pork ribs into her bowl, and she came back to her senses.

"Eat more. Your body can't take it if you stay up late and don't eat!" Zhou Yifeng's tone was filled with obvious concern.

After spending some time together, their relationship seemed to have become closer. When Su Xiaohan was alone with him, she didn't feel nervous or unnatural.

"Captain Zhou, I'm wondering if Feng Yong killed Ma Chungang, used Lu Xiaotian's car to transport the body, and dumped it into the well. Later, he was afraid that Lu Xiaotian would tell others about this, so he silenced Lu Xiaotian and then escaped." Without bothering to eat, Su Xiaohan told Zhou Yifeng her speculation.

"It's possible, but we need evidence. As of now, the surveillance video shows Lu Xiaotian driving, but Feng Yong is not seen." Zhou Yifeng glanced at her bowl, motioning for her to eat quickly.

Su Xiaohan picked up the ribs and put them in her mouth, but they were tasteless. The more complicated the case, the more she was eager to solve it as soon as possible.

"Captain Zhou, I'll go check Feng Yong's call records before he disappeared, maybe I can find something!" Su Xiaohan ate a few bites and was about to leave.

Zhou Yifeng quickly held her down and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter if you wait a little longer. Let's talk after we finish eating!"

He was only concerned about getting Su Xiaohan to stay for dinner, and the soft touch of his palm made him realize that his big hand was covering Su Xiaohan's small hand, so he quickly pulled his hand back. Su Xiaohan looked down, blushed, picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her mouth to hide her embarrassment.

After dinner, the two left the restaurant and went back to check Feng Yong's call records. This time, they made another discovery. Before Feng Yong disappeared, he had sent a group message to the villagers.

Zhou Yifeng asked Li Zhisong and others to ask the people who received the message separately, and found that they were all Feng Yong's elders and friends. They said that they had not seen Feng Yong since receiving the text message.

The content of the message was very simple, with only one sentence: "Brother, I'm hiding from debt. I'll be back in a few years, don't worry about me." It seemed like there was no problem and was very consistent with the situation of a criminal who was on the run for fear of crime.

Su Xiaohan studied the message for a long time, and suddenly found the most unreasonable part in the message - the title. She hurriedly said to Zhou Yifeng: "Captain Zhou, Feng Yong said that he went out to avoid debt, which sounds fine. But as far as I know, his village attaches great importance to seniority. No matter how anxious he is, he would not send a message to his elders like this. It's okay for him to call his friends 'brothers', but he actually calls the elders 'brothers' as well. This is too weird!"

"That's right. The generations in rural areas are very clear, and the people he sent text messages to are mostly his uncles and grandfathers. The folk customs in their village are still relatively conservative. It is extremely impolite to call your uncles and grandfathers "brothers" at the beginning of the text message. Even if it is a group message, you can send it once to the uncles and grandfathers, and then send it once to all your friends." Zhou Yifeng agreed with Su Xiaohan's doubts.

"I remember Sherlock Holmes once said that when you eliminate all the impossible, the remaining one, no matter how incredible it is, is the only possibility." Su Xiaohan winked at Zhou Yifeng, looking mischievous.

"You mean that the text message was not sent by Feng Yong himself, which means that Feng Yong is not actually missing, he may not be alive anymore!" Zhou Yifeng understood.

Su Xiaohan nodded and gave Zhou Yifeng a thumbs up. They were getting along better and better.

Zhou Yifeng immediately called Li Zhisong and others to hold a case analysis meeting to discuss the case together.

"Boss, based on the current situation, I think it was Feng Yong or Lu Xiaotian who hit Ma Chungang on the back of the head with an axe, causing his death. Then they put Ma Chungang in the trunk of Lu Xiaotian's car and transported the body to the well in the abandoned farmland and dumped it in it." Li Zhisong expressed his opinion.

After he finished speaking, Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan looked at him together with approving glances.

"Zhisong, you and Xiaohan are thinking the same thing." Zhou Yifeng said with a smile.

"My junior sister and I have a tacit understanding!" Li Zhisong deliberately smiled ambiguously at Su Xiaohan, wanting to see Zhou Yifeng's reaction.

These days, he always felt that Zhou Yifeng treated Su Xiaohan differently from others. He had never taken care of any female police officer the same way he took care of Su Xiaohan, not even for the forensic doctor Sun Yidan.

Zhou Yifeng ignored him and continued, "The most urgent thing is to find Feng Yong, alive or dead!"
