Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

Zhang Hui sneered, "Coincidence? I'm afraid it's not that simple. Zhang Lijuan, I hope you can tell me the truth. What happened between you and Li Qing? Are these iron cages related to Li Qing's death?"

Zhang Lijuan was silent for a long time: "I...we talked for a while...!"

Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai looked at each other and realized that the case had finally made a major breakthrough.

Because this was a clue they had never known, that Zhang Lijuan was actually having a relationship with Li Qing.

After careful questioning, Zhang Lijuan explained the relationship between him and Li Qing.

It turned out that Zhang Lijuan and Li Qing had developed a relationship in order to let Li Qing use her spare parts. However, the truth could not be hidden. A month ago, they were caught by Zhang Lijuan's husband Song Yuanfeng when they checked into a hotel.

"At that time, Song Yuanfeng suddenly rushed in, and when he saw us together, he went crazy." Zhang Lijuan cried and said, "He beat Li Qing severely, and I couldn't stop him. Since then, I have never been able to contact Li Qing again. He didn't answer my calls and didn't reply to my messages. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth."

Zhang Hui frowned, stared at Zhang Lijuan and asked, "Are you sure you are telling the truth? Did your husband say anything threatening after he beat her?"

Zhang Lijuan nodded desperately: "What I said is true! Song Yuanfeng was very angry at the time, and he beat Li Qing while shouting that he would make Li Qing pay the price, but I really don't know if he did anything to Li Qing afterwards."

Wang Shuai asked seriously, "What kind of person is your husband usually? Does he have a bad temper?"

Zhang Lijuan hesitated for a moment and said, "He usually has a good temper, but he has a strong sense of self-esteem. This incident has dealt a heavy blow to him. I'm really afraid that he will act on impulse..."

After learning of this important clue, Lu Chuan immediately adjusted the direction of the investigation and focused all his attention on Song Yuanfeng. The police began a comprehensive investigation of Song Yuanfeng, collecting his personal information, social relationships, and whereabouts before and after the incident.

Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai came to Song Yuanfeng's workplace, a car repair shop. The shop was filled with the smell of oil, and workers were busy repairing vehicles. Zhang Hui found the owner of the repair shop, showed his ID, and asked about Song Yuanfeng's situation.

"Song Yuanfeng, he usually works very hard, but something happened to his wife some time ago, which made him in a bad mood." The boss recalled with a frown.

Zhang Hui immediately asked, "What about his wife? Did he tell you the details?"

The boss shook his head: "He didn't say much, just said something happened at home and wanted to take a leave. I saw that he was not in a good state, so I allowed him to take a few days off."

Wang Shuai then asked: "Does the time he asked for leave match the time Li Qing disappeared?"

The boss thought for a moment and said, "That's about right. I can't remember the exact date, but you can check the store's attendance records."

After checking the attendance records, Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai discovered that Song Yuanfeng had indeed taken leave during the period when Li Qing disappeared, and that the leave lasted for a week. This discovery made Song Yuanfeng's suspicion suddenly increase.

They decided to confront Song Yuanfeng directly. At Song Yuanfeng's home, they met this man who was deeply traumatized by his wife's betrayal. Song Yuanfeng looked haggard, and his eyes revealed deep fatigue and anger.

Zhang Hui said straight to the point: "Song Yuanfeng, we are investigating Li Qing's case. You should know who Li Qing is, right?" Song Yuanfeng snorted coldly: "That bastard, how could I not know him? He destroyed my family!"

Wang Shuai asked seriously, "A month ago, you found out about his affair with your wife and beat him up. Have you seen him since then?"

Song Yuanfeng was silent for a while, then said, "I was very angry at the time and beat him up. But after the beating, I calmed down and never saw him again."

Zhang Hui stared into his eyes: "Are you sure? Li Qing is missing. Do you think this has nothing to do with you?"

Song Yuanfeng suddenly became excited: "Although I hate him, I won't kill him! I beat him up that day and left. I really don't know what happened after that."

Wang Shuai took out a document that recorded the time when Song Yuanfeng asked for leave and the time when Li Qing disappeared, and said, "The time when you asked for leave and the time when Li Qing disappeared are highly consistent. How do you explain it?"

Song Yuanfeng looked at the information and his face turned pale, but he still insisted: "I asked for leave because I was in a bad mood and wanted to go out and relax. It really has nothing to do with his disappearance."

Although Song Yuanfeng denied it, the police did not give up their investigation. They began to investigate Song Yuanfeng's whereabouts during his leave, visited his friends and neighbors, and checked the surrounding surveillance videos.

When visiting Song Yuanfeng's neighbors, an old lady provided an important clue. "I remember that night, I saw Song Yuanfeng dragging a large iron cage out of the house. It looked very heavy, and he took a lot of effort to move it to the car by himself," the old lady recalled.

Zhang Hui immediately asked, "Auntie, do you remember which night it was? What did the iron cage look like?"

The old lady thought for a moment and said, "I'm not sure of the exact date, but it was probably not long after he took leave. The iron cage was quite large, and there was some rust on it."

This clue further deepened the police's suspicion of Song Yuanfeng, and they continued to investigate. When checking the surrounding surveillance video, they found that Song Yuanfeng drove to the direction of Beishan Reservoir on the night Li Qing disappeared. However, the surveillance video only captured him driving into the area near the reservoir, and there was no way to know what happened afterwards.

"It seems that Song Yuanfeng is becoming more and more suspicious. He dragged the iron cage to the reservoir, which may be related to Li Qing's death." Zhang Hui said to Wang Shuai.

Wang Shuai nodded in agreement: "That's right, but we still lack key evidence. We can't conclude that he is the murderer based on this alone."

The police continued to intensify their investigation and conducted a detailed investigation of Song Yuanfeng's call records and bank statements. In the call records, they found that Song Yuanfeng frequently contacted a mysterious number before and after Li Qing disappeared. After investigation, it was found that the number belonged to a man named Zhao Sanhu, a gangster with a criminal record.

Zhang Hui and Wang Shuai immediately investigated Zhao Sanhu and took him back to the police station for questioning. Zhao Sanhu tried to argue at first, but under the strong psychological pressure from the police, he finally confessed the truth.

"Song Yuanfeng called me and said that he was cuckolded and wanted to teach the man a lesson. He gave me some money and asked me to help bring the man to Beishan Reservoir." Zhao Sanhu said with his head down.

Zhang Hui asked seriously: "What happened next? What did you do after you brought Li Qing to the reservoir?" (End of this chapter)
