Chapter 354: Master Yiyuan is arrested
The next main task is to capture Master Yiyuan with all our strength.
According to Zhan Jinhua, Master Yiyuan should be around 30 years old now, with a round face, slanted eyes, thick lips, and protruding ears, which are relatively large.
Based on Zhan Jinhua's description, the police drew several portraits of Master Yiyuan, mixed them with the portrait provided by Sun Aimin, and asked Zhan Jinhua to identify them.
Zhan Jinhua recognized at a glance that the portrait provided by Sun Aimin was similar to Master Yiyuan, except that the current Master Yiyuan was a little fat, but not as fat as the face in the portrait.
As for how to contact Master Yiyuan, Zhan Jinhua explained: "He lives in the Taoist temple on XX Mountain. We met him when our family went to the mountain to offer lamps.
He left us a landline number and told us to call him whenever we wanted and he would come down the mountain to meet us, saving us the trouble of having to travel all the way up the mountain to invite him. He was the one who decided the time and place for the meeting!"
The police immediately called the landline number mentioned by Zhan Jinhua and told the other party that they were Zhan Jinhua’s younger brother Zhan Baoku. Because the family had been experiencing too many bad lucks recently, he wanted to perform a ritual as soon as possible to reverse the family’s bad luck.
When the other party heard that he was here to give him money, he immediately became excited. The last time he took more than 20,000 yuan from the Zhan family was seven or eight years ago.
He had already squandered all the money, and now he was short of money. The Zhan family had contacted him last year, and he was thinking of making another fortune, but there was no response from them.
Later, there were news about the Zhan family everywhere. In order to protect himself, he did not dare to take the initiative to contact the Zhan family.
The police hadn't come to his door for such a long time, and he still thought that the Zhan family was very considerate and didn't give him up.
Now, when someone claiming to be the treasure hunter contacted him, he had no doubts. If the police wanted to arrest him, they should have done so last year. Why would they wait until now?
It seems that their family still has high hopes for changing their fortunes and is waiting for the right opportunity to carry out the "ritual".
He pretended to be serious and agreed to the matter, agreed on the time and place of the meeting, and explained what the Zhan family needed to prepare.
Of course, the most important thing is those green bills.
The weekend agreed upon by "Master Yiyuan" soon arrived. The police had scouted the meeting place in advance and arranged for people to hide in advance.
Master Yiyuan arrived on time, riding a motorcycle and parking somewhere far away from the meeting place.
He found a spot against the wall and put on the robe he had prepared, making him look more formal.
Then he walked slowly towards the agreed location. This was an abandoned factory. In the words of Master Yiyuan, the fewer people who know about this kind of thing, the better, so we should try to avoid being seen by others.
In fact, he was just afraid of meeting someone he knew and ruining his good fortune.
As a result, as soon as he stepped into the factory gate, he was controlled by several unidentified people.
Master Yiyuan's mind was full of thoughts about the tens of thousands of yuan in labor fees that he was about to receive, and he never imagined that there was a trap waiting for him.
He yelled, "Who are you all? I am a Taoist master. If you treat me like this, you will be punished by heaven and struck by lightning..."
This sentence immediately made several plainclothes policemen laugh. One of them looked at Master Yiyuan's weird outfit and said, "A master? Are you a monk or a Taoist priest? You don't look like a monk or a Taoist priest."
Master Yiyuan was stunned by the question. He was in a Taoist temple when he first tried to get close to the Zhan family and gain their trust.
In order to avoid being caught and the family discovered that he was a liar, he told the family that they should call in advance every time they contacted him.
He did know about the props needed for the rituals, and he also came up with some tricks to play tricks on others, so outsiders couldn't see the problems at all.
Thinking of the Taoist temple, he quickly responded, "I am a Taoist priest. You asked me to come. Don't you know that? Your sister should have told you about me, otherwise you wouldn't have been able to contact me. Now that you treat me like this, aren't you afraid that your family will continue to suffer bad luck in the future?"
He mistook the policeman who was questioning him for Zhan Jinhua's younger brother Zhan Baoku.
The other party didn't waste time talking to him, but directly showed his ID: "We are the police, come with us!"
When Master Yiyuan heard the word "police", his legs went limp with fear, and he was finally carried by two plainclothes policemen to a car behind the factory.
After arriving at the police station, Master Yiyuan confessed everything he had done without the police asking any questions.
It turns out that Master Yiyuan was a name he gave himself in order to stir up trouble.
He worked in the Jiangjin Machinery Factory, in the mail room, which happened to have a landline phone, and this became the phone he used to contact the Zhan family.
The reason why he directed such a big drama was actually just to vent his anger. Yes, he did have a grudge against the Yuan family and the Sun family. To be more precise, it was his father who had a grudge against these two families.
His real name is Zhao Shengli, and he is now 28 years old. His father is Zhao Liren, and he is now almost 50 years old.
Zhao Liren was an educated youth who went to the countryside to work in the Liuwangzhuang Brigade where the Sun family lived.
Zhao Liren is a man who likes to be cunning and try to take advantage of others. He is also a bully and afraid of the strong.
He is the youngest in the family. He has several older brothers and sisters. They are all married and have jobs, so they don't have to go to the countryside.
Only Zhao Liren became an unemployed youth after he dropped out of school. His family had no way to arrange a job for him, nor could they afford to buy him a job.
He wanted his brothers and sisters to help him raise money to buy a job, but they all had their own families, so who would be willing to take care of a lazy brother like him?
Finally, he had no choice but to go to Liuwangzhuang, which was quite far away from home, to join the production team.
After he arrived there, the money and tickets his family brought him could not sustain him for long. He was not active in the work and could not get full work points, and the food rations he was given were not enough for him to eat.
He began to work hard on other educated youth. There were several male educated youths who shared a room with him, all of whom were about the same age as him.
Among them was a man from a well-off family who sent him money and things, so he never had to worry about basic living issues. Zhao Liren tried to get close to that man, and when he made him happy, he would give him some things through his fingers.
Since he could not get any benefit from others, his relationship with them became a little cold. However, someone in their educated youth camp had lost something, and everyone suspected that Zhao Liren had stolen it, but there was no evidence, so the case was left unresolved.
