Chapter 302: Identify the corpse and kill Li Kailang

You can skip the meal, but you can’t miss the fun.

The body was surrounded by people who came to watch the fun. Even when they were chased away by the police, no one left.

Li Kailang and everyone else watched quietly.

The forensic doctor came to examine the body and soon came to a preliminary suspicion.

The medical examiner told the police captain, "The cause of death is still unknown. I need to take the body back for an autopsy and further investigation."

The police captain frowned at this, "Why are you so uncertain? Aren't these clearly a few stab wounds?"

The forensic doctor shook his head: "On the surface, the knife wounds are obvious, but there is a lot of water inside the body."

"Logically, if the body was stabbed to death, there shouldn't be so much water inside. Also, you can see obvious signs of struggle on his body."

The police captain looked at the obvious marks of binding and struggle on the body.

The medical examiner said, "If the person was stabbed to death, then the signs of struggle on the body would seem unnecessary."

"Whether it was stabbing or condensation that caused death, I need to take him back for further investigation."

Hearing this, the police captain nodded and said, "It seems that this matter is not that simple. It is very likely to be murder."

While the two were talking, several people came hurriedly under the guidance of the police.

The policeman said, "Captain, these are the family members who have reported missing during this period."

The captain nodded and looked at them, "Come and identify the clothes to see whose family members they belong to."

Everyone looked at the corpse with its face covered with a white cloth.

"Old Deng!" Suddenly, a woman ran out from the crowd with tears on her face.

"Comrade, comrade." The captain hurriedly stopped Wang Sufen to prevent her from damaging the body or getting dirty.

"Old Deng, what's wrong with you? Who hurt you? How can our family survive without you?"

"Who the hell killed my old Deng?"

Wang Sufen covered her face and cried, wailing at the top of her lungs.

The captain was very troubled by this situation and waved his hand, signaling those who reported missing to leave.

The captain looked at Wang Sufen and said, "Comrade, are you sure this is your family member?"

Wang Sufen twitched and said, "Yes, this is the clothes that Lao Deng wore when he went out. I can't be wrong."

"Captain." Suddenly a policeman came over.

The captain turned his head and looked at him, saying, "Captain, the clothes the body was wearing are on record. His name is Deng Chaoquan, and he was the workshop director of the steel mill."

The police officer told the relevant information about Deng Chaoquan and took out the case he had taken from the police station.

The captain looked at the records and couldn't help but feel a headache. It had been 6 days since the case was reported and they finally found it.

"Whoever is in charge of the records of this case, ask him to come over and assist." said the captain.

"Yes, I'll call someone right away." The police officer responded and went to find the police officer who originally recorded the case.

"Old Deng, why are you leaving?" Wang Sufen was still crying. Whenever she wanted to get close to the body, she would be stopped by the police.

On the other side, Jia Dongxu saw Wang Sufen coming and became more certain that it was Deng Chaoquan.

"The person is dead, really dead. It seems they acted quite quickly." Jia Dongxu opened his eyes wide, deeply excited.

In fact, on the third day after Deng Chaoquan disappeared, he went to ask Brother Zuo and the other two.

Brother Wolf: "Don't worry, he's dead. Didn't you see he didn't come these few days? Don't worry."

Brother Xiong looked at Jia Dongxu and said, "Boy, you don't trust us? We are honest in everything we do. Why don't you give it a try?"

As he spoke, Brother Xiong pressed Jia Dongxu's shoulder.

"No need! No need!" Jia Dongxu was so scared that he shook his head repeatedly. He didn't want to die.

Brother Zuo said, "It's up to you whether you believe it or not. The body was dumped in Shichahai. Go and have a look when you have time. Maybe someone will fish it out someday."

After getting this answer, Jia Dongxu deliberately passed by Shichahai every day, but he didn't get any news.

Taking advantage of the weekend when everyone came to go fishing, Jia Dongxu also came to take a look, even though he knew that the body had been dumped there.

But if he's alive, I have to see him. If he's dead, I have to see his body. There has to be an answer anyway.

"Comrade Forensic Doctor, please take the body away for further examination." The captain looked at the Forensic Doctor.

The forensic doctor nodded and left with the body.

The captain quickly stopped Wang Sufen who was following the body and said, "Comrade Wang, please accept my condolences."

"Express your condolences? What condolences? Someone has died. How can you ask me to express my condolences? Old Deng is the pillar of the family. What will we do without him?"

Wang Sufen cried loudly and suddenly glared at him, "It's all your fault. I reported the case but you still can't find him. If you weren't useless, Old Deng wouldn't be dead."

"It's all your fault. Give me back my husband, give me back my husband!" Wang Sufen said as she slapped the captain hard.

The captain did not fight back even when he was slapped, considering that the family members had experienced such a thing and needed an outlet for their anger.

When Wang Sufen was tired of fighting, the captain said, "Comrade Wang, it has come to this point, and there is nothing we can do to save the situation."

"I just hope you can cooperate with our investigation. Your husband was killed in this way. I'm afraid it's not just a simple murder. It may also be a vent of anger."

"Before your husband disappeared, did he offend anyone? Or did he have a grudge against anyone?"

Hearing this, Wang Sufen shook her head repeatedly, "No, my old Deng is such a good person, how could he make enemies with others?"

The police captain asked several questions, but Wang Sufen didn't know the answers to any of them.

The captain was helpless about this as he had no information at all. Fortunately, the case file contained information about what Deng Chaoquan did before he disappeared.

Apart from playing cards with friends on weekends, he would insult Jia Dongxu on Saturdays.

The captain looked at the name and said, "It's possible that this person was scolded and wanted to kill Deng Chaoquan."

"Comrade Wang, we will give you a result on this matter as soon as possible. Please go back and wait patiently."

After saying that, the captain signaled to the policeman nearby, who immediately helped Wang Sufen up and took her away.

"Come with me, a few people, to investigate." The captain ordered, taking people to investigate Jia Dongxu.

"No, I have to go back quickly."

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu thought something was wrong and quickly left this place of trouble.

He remembered Brother Zuo's reminder, telling him not to stay there too long, especially not to be caught by the police on the spot, otherwise no explanation would be of any use.

Jia Dongxu hurried back to the courtyard.

"Dongxu, what's wrong with you? Why are you sweating so much?" Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu who was panting, and quickly poured him a glass of water.

Jia Dongxu drank it all in one gulp, paused for a moment, turned around and looked around: "It's okay, where's mom?"

Qin Huairu: "Mom went out and hasn't come back yet."

Jia Dongxu nodded, and was about to say something when a voice came from the door, "Hello, is Jia Dongxu home?"

Outside the door, the captain and a few others came to his door.

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Don't talk nonsense for a while."

Qin Huairu didn't understand what was going on, but nodded obediently.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief and walked out to look at them: "What do you want?"

"Jia Dongxu, what do you think about Deng Chaoquan not coming to the steel mill in the past few days?" asked the captain.

"How can I see it? How can I see it? Director Deng Chao is still strong and healthy! He can still do this at his age. I admire him so much." Jia Dongxu said.

Jia Dongxu did not mention Deng Chaoquan's disappearance at all, but instead talked about him sleeping with his mistress.

Everyone in the workshop only knew that he slept with his mistress. As for his disappearance, no one knew. They were just surprised that he hadn't come to work for several days.

Everyone in the workshop also imagined a scene in their minds: Deng Chaoquan was beaten by Wang Sufen and was unable to come to work.

The captain looked up and glanced at Jia Dongxu meaningfully, wondering whether he really didn't know that Deng Chaoquan was missing or was pretending not to know.

The captain decided to blast him: "Jia Dongxu, did you know that Deng Chaoquan is dead?"

"Dead?" Jia Dongxu stood up suddenly with an expression of disbelief.

"Comrade police officer, are you kidding me? Didn't Director Deng go to sleep with his mistress? How could he be dead? Could it be..."

The captain stood up and stared at him: "What's the matter?"

Jia Dongxu couldn't believe it: "Could it be that Director Deng couldn't stand his mistress and died of exhaustion in bed?"

Hearing this answer, everyone was speechless. The captain said, "He didn't die of exhaustion. He was killed by someone. What do you think about this?"

"How can I watch? I didn't kill that person." Jia Dongxu pretended to realize something and looked at them.

Jia Dongxu cried, "Comrade police, you can't wrongly accuse a good person. I am just an ordinary citizen. Why would I kill Director Deng? You can't wrongly accuse a good person!"

The team leader: "Don't worry, we won't wrongly accuse a good person, as long as you can answer our questions properly." "I heard from other workers that Deng Chaoquan talked about you last Saturday, or more accurately, insulted you. What do you think about this?"

Jia Dongxu pretended to be very happy: "What can I say? Director Deng is doing this for my own good. He said that I should do this."

Captain: "Can you accept him scolding you?"

Jia Dongxu nodded and sighed: "What's wrong with that? Director Deng said this for my own good. He said this because he wants me to improve."

Looking at Jia Dongxu's "reasonable" words and expression, the captain was very suspicious, but he had no evidence.

The captain asked again: "Where did you go after get off work on Saturday?"

Jia Dongxu: "I went out to eat, drink and have fun after work, and didn't come back until dark."

"Eating, drinking and having fun?" The captain frowned. This was the market situation, and he didn't believe that Jia Dongxu didn't know.

Food is so precious, yet he is in the mood to eat, drink and have fun.

Jia Dongxu: "Alas, wasn't I scolded by Director Deng? I know he did it for my own good, but I couldn't stand it that day, so I thought about getting something to eat to calm down."

The captain looked at Qin Huairu, "Do you know about this?"

Qin Huairu shook her head first, then nodded: "I don't know, ah, I know."

"Do you know?" The captain narrowed his eyes.

Qin Huairu explained: "I knew Dongxu came back late, but I didn't know he was out eating, drinking and having fun. I thought he was working overtime at the factory."

The captain was very disappointed with this answer.

Next, he asked a few more questions, and Jia Dongxu answered them one by one without revealing a single flaw, as if he really didn't know about Deng Chaoquan's death.

No matter how he was asked, Jia Dongxu's answers were well-reasoned and without any ambiguity.

It was this well-reasoned answer that made the captain believe in Jia Dongxu. Who could remember what happened last week so clearly?

"Captain, it seems that this is not Jia Dongxu." The police officer on the side whispered.

The captain looked at him but shook his head. "I don't think so. It's just that we don't have any evidence to prove that he is the murderer."

The young police officer was puzzled: "Captain, how could this guy be the murderer? There have been people testifying for him all along, and he didn't have the chance to do anything."

The captain said: "He didn't have the chance to do it, but that doesn't mean he couldn't hire someone to kill someone. I saw the injuries on the body. It's not something an ordinary person can do. He was a professional."

"What this kid said is watertight. It seems impossible to make a breakthrough based on his words. Let's go check out which other assassins are there in Sijiu City."

"Yes," the officer responded and turned to investigate.

Watching the police leave, Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu's back with a hint of deep meaning.

She knew that Jia Dongxu had not eaten, drunk or had fun that day, and she also knew that Jia Dongxu had taken a lot of food from the house and also took Jia Zhang's money.

Jia Dongxu thought he had done all this perfectly, but Qin Huairu actually saw it all, she just didn't understand.

But when the police came to her house to question her, she soon understood what Jia Dongxu had done, but she would not say it.

Jia Dongxu turned his head and saw Qin Huairu's eyes, thinking that she was resentful that he did not take her out to eat, drink and have fun.

"Huai Ru, I'm sorry I didn't take you with me. Next time I'm free, I will definitely take you with me. I won't take anyone else with me."

"Yeah." Qin Huairu smiled sweetly and nodded, "We agreed that you can't leave me out next time."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely do it next time." Jia Dongxu stroked Qin Huairu's head affectionately, but his thoughts flew to Brother Zuo.

"Since they can handle Deng Chaoquan, then he can do it too."

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu turned his head and looked in a certain direction in the front yard.

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Jia Dongxu tiptoed out of the yard.

I came to the casino again and quarreled with Brother Zuo and the other two.

"Hey, you're here again. I told you that the person was dead, but you didn't believe me? Don't blame me for being rude next time you come!" Brother Wolf said viciously.

Jia Dongxu chuckled, "Believe it, I believe it. I've seen the man, he's dead."

"Oh, did you see the corpse?" Brother Wolf asked in confusion.

"I saw it. All the people were fished out."

"Then what do you want from us?" Brother Wolf asked.

"Hehe." Jia Dongxu rubbed his hands, a little embarrassed, "I wonder if the three brothers still want business?"

"Business?" Brother Wolf muttered to himself, looking at Jia Dongxu's sinister smile, "Of course we want business, could it be that someone has offended you again?"

"I don't know which unlucky person actually offended you, and now another one is going to die in just a few days."

Jia Dongxu smiled and rubbed his hands without answering. Now was the time to ask them for help.

Brother Wolf: "Since it's a business, of course we have to do it. Tell me, who are you going to kill?"

Jia Dongxu: "Li Kailang from the front yard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, the driver of the steel mill"

Jia Dongxu told all of Li Kailang's information in one go, and suddenly thought: "Oh, he also knows some Kung Fu, can you do it?"

"Kung Fu?" Brother Wolf smiled contemptuously and took out a knife to play with it. "No matter how good your Kung Fu is, you are afraid of a kitchen knife. Why can't you do it?"

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu was delighted, "That's good that you can do it. How much do you want this time?"

Brother Wolf and Brother Bear looked at Brother Zuo, only to see him lower his head and think, then he slowly said: "Double the price from last time."

Last time it was 300 yuan and 100 kilograms of food, and if it doubled it would be 600 yuan and 200 kilograms of food.

600 yuan. Not only him, but the whole family doesn’t have that much money. Last time, 300 yuan was spent.

As for the 200 kilograms of grain, he could get it, but if he did, there would not be much grain left in the cellar.

Jia Dongxu wondered: "Why is it so expensive?"

Brother Zuo: "The person you want to kill knows martial arts, so of course you have to pay more. Besides, it's only been a week since the last time we killed someone. With such a short time, we will be at risk of being exposed."

"Can this be cheaper? I don't have that much money and food." Jia Dongxu said.

Hearing this, Brother Zuo thought about it and realized that the price was indeed much more expensive. It would be difficult for ordinary people to afford this price.

"You can change it to not killing him, but breaking his limbs. This is cheaper."

Jia Dongxu: "How much cheaper?"

"50 for breaking it, plus 50 jin of food, double for destroying it."

"This is fine. I want this one."

Although I can't kill Li Kailang, I can beat him and let him vent his anger.

"By the way, Brother Zuo, to what extent was this beating?"

Brother Zuo: "Literally, amputation means you will be missing a hand forever."

Jia Dongxu suddenly shouted, "Okay, I want this. I want to break Li Kailang's right hand so that he can never drive again!"

Before Li Kailang became a driver, he was the most powerful one in the factory.

Ever since Li Kailang became a driver, everything he does has been smoother than before, all because of Li Kailang.

"Ah!" Suddenly, Jia Dongxu was kicked in the abdomen and flew backwards.

"Damn it, do you want to die? You're saying it so loudly!" Brother Xiong cursed in a low voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was too excited just now and didn't pay attention." Jia Dongxu apologized quickly.

"Damn it, be careful next time." Brother Xiong curled his lips.

Jia Dongxu lay on the ground, stroking his aching abdomen, with hatred flashing in his eyes as he lowered his head.

"Okay, I didn't mean it." Brother Wolf said.

After all, it's so easy to make money with such a big money sponsor, so nothing can go wrong.

Brother Zuo: "It's the same old rule. When the money and grain are paid, we'll start the action."

Jia Dongxu: "Yes, Brother Zuo, I will get it for you tomorrow."

After saying that, with the help of Wolf Brother, Jia Dongxu got up with difficulty and staggered back.

Brother Zuo looked at the two of them and said, "Looking at Jia Dongxu's behavior, he must want to kill Li Kailang. This man knows martial arts and has tricks. We will investigate him tomorrow."

The two nodded. Brother Wolf said, "By the way, Li Kailang is studying at a night university. I don't know which night university he is studying at. How about we do it when he is on his way back to the yard?"

Brother Zuo nodded: "That's fine. It will be late at night. After studying for so long, we must be hungry and sleepy. Let's start then."

"However, we still need to investigate Li Kailang's martial arts skills. Don't let him mess up later."

The two nodded, but there was not much vigilance in their eyes.

After all, the purpose was to cripple Li Kailang, not to kill him, so there was no need for complete preparations like killing Deng Chaoquan.
