Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 589 Beginning

Qin Yunling?!

The name that Yang Chundong uttered made Li Yancheng pause for a moment. He glanced at Liao Xiaomei, whose face was flushed red from his question, with a strange expression.

Well, the big ones and the small ones are all here!

It's really strange, why did they all come to him to report him today? Could it be that Qin Yunling is also reporting Chen Laosan?
"The call wasn't disconnected, was it?"

"no"

Hearing that the call hadn't ended, Li Yancheng stood up.

"Comrade Liao Xiaomei, please wait a moment while I take this call."

"Director Li, please go ahead."

Upon hearing this, Liao Xiaomei breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to temporarily alleviate her awkwardness. She really didn't know how to answer that question.

Li Yancheng had already quickly walked out of the meeting room and into the office next door.

"Hello, this is Li Yancheng."

"Hello Director Li, I am Qin Yunling, and Qin Tianpeng is my brother."

Worried that Li Yancheng might not know who she was, Qin Yunling specifically mentioned her brother's name.

"I know you. You and my lover's sister, Luo Ting, are classmates. You just said you wanted to report someone. Who are you reporting?"

"Director Li, there are some things I can't say over the phone. Can we meet and talk?"

That's it again.

Li Yancheng's mind suddenly turned to something wicked, and he wondered if he could bring the eldest and second eldest sisters together. He wondered if these two women knew each other.
"Qin Yunling, where are you now? What are you wearing? I'll arrange for someone to come and pick you up."

"I was at *****, wearing..."

"Okay, wait there for a moment. My people will come to find you shortly."

He wanted to see who this woman was going to report this time.

Li Yancheng had a strong premonition that Qin Yunling was probably going to report Chen Xiangyang as well.

It's really interesting. I don't know what he did to deserve such outrageous behavior from both heaven and man, but his two women, one of whom is his legal wife, actually came to report him at the same time.

After arranging for Yang Chundong to get a car to continue picking up people, he went to the next-door meeting room.

In the end, Li Yancheng didn't let Qin Yunling meet Liao Xiaomei just to satisfy his perverse tastes. If the two of them found out about each other, it would be troublesome if they started arguing here.

Actually, he was wrong. The two women didn't know each other. No matter how shameless Chen Laosan was, he would never tell the other woman his wife's name.

Since his other women also have their own families, no one dares to cause trouble, let alone inquire about who his wife is or what she looks like.

In this respect, Chen Laosan's "goodwill towards Mengde" effectively prevented many troublesome things from happening.

After all, if he were to find a young girl, once they've been together for a while, she would definitely want a formal status, and if that demand isn't met, who knows what might happen, especially if they have a child together.

Chen Laosan was a smart man. He knew very well that he could do whatever he wanted outside, but if anyone wanted to bring him home, well, his father could chop him up with an axe.

What he didn't expect was that after so many years of peaceful coexistence, his legal wife suddenly decided she couldn't take it anymore.

If he knew that he was carried to the execution ground by his wife and lover without any consultation, and without even knowing each other, he would probably regret his actions over the years.

Reporting is very simple; they just need to say what they know and that's it.

The difficult problem was left to Li Yancheng.

Actually, it's not a difficult problem. Knowing that these recent cases were most likely committed by Chen Xiangyang, the third son of the Chen family, he only has one path in front of him: to bring him to justice.

However, we cannot arrest Chen Laosan directly at the moment.

Liao Xiaomei only provided fragmented information she had overheard, which at best was just a clue and not enough to convict Chen Xiangyang.

Qin Yunling provided clues and some evidence, but the evidence she provided could only be considered indirect evidence. Even if this evidence were verified, it would at most sentence Chen Xiangyang to three to five years in prison, and it would not truly make him atone for the crimes he committed.

The key issue now is to solidify the evidence based on the clues provided by the two women.

Just now, Li Yancheng took out the portrait of the person who went to find Wang Guangjun and let the two women identify him.

Qin Yunling had no recollection of this person. She didn't even know of Lao Song's existence. She only knew that Chen Xiangyang had people doing dirty work for him, but she didn't know exactly who they were or how many there were.

After looking at the portrait, Liao Xiaomei wasn't sure if the person in the portrait was actually Old Song, because he was wearing a hat and only the part below his nose was visible. She could only say that it looked like him.

Regardless of whether they resemble each other or not, this Old Song and his brothers who left with him must be brought back.

Only if they are brought back can the things that the third son of the Chen family did be investigated. Otherwise, many of the clues provided by the two women, especially those mentioned by Qin Yunling, cannot be investigated at all unless the person who did the dirty work for him is found.

What Li Yancheng needs to consider now is how to investigate and who to assign to investigate.

He could guess without even thinking that if he dared to openly send people to investigate Chen Laosan, the Chen family would likely get wind of it as soon as he assigned the task.

Whoever in the Chen family received the news would definitely tell Chen Laosan. This would give him ample time to erase evidence, and it's not impossible that he could even arrange for someone to eliminate all those who knew the truth.

What puzzled Li Yancheng was that he couldn't understand why Chen Laosan would let those people who knew the truth leave. Wasn't this guy afraid that Lao Song and the others might be exposed and arrested?

Or is letting those people leave just a pretext, with the real purpose of eliminating them?

Thinking that those people might have taken their families with them when they left, Li Yancheng suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.

He hoped he was wrong, and that Chen Laosan, out of consideration for their past relationship, genuinely wanted those people to leave; otherwise, things would have become much more serious.

But who should be sent to investigate?

Actually, he trusted both Kim Ji-hae and Joo Dong-jun with confidence in leading the team, but he didn't know much about the people below them.

The investigation of Chen Laosan must be kept absolutely secret at this stage. If the news leaks out, not to mention whether he can withstand the pressure from all sides, the mere thought of the evidence being erased is enough to give him a headache.

Ugh……

Li Yancheng was right; how could Chen Laosan be so kind as to let a few people who knew a lot of his secrets leave so easily?

What kind of person can keep a secret? Of course, a dead person.

In order to protect himself, Chen Laosan knew that Li Yancheng had a special interrogation method and that no one could withstand him without confessing. Therefore, he could not possibly let Lao Song and his brothers leave safely.

Doing this will only create problems for yourself.

"Third Young Master, it's all been taken care of."

Around 11 a.m. on the 10th, Chen Laosan, who had just woken up, sat on a chair in the main room, smoking a cigarette while listening to the reports from the people he had sent out.

"But because there are so many people, I estimate that the bodies will be discovered in a few days."

The person who came to report lowered his eyes and carefully recounted what happened on the way out of Beijing early this morning, after he had taken Lao Song, his two brothers, and their family. Finally, he expressed his concerns.

"Have you dealt with their faces?" "As you instructed, we poured gasoline on each person's face and burned it. It's impossible to identify them by their appearance now."

"That's good. By the way, they weren't buried together, were they?"

"No, we buried them in three places, each about 20 to 30 kilometers apart."

"Thank you for your hard work." Chen Laosan yawned, nodded in satisfaction, then bent down to open the cabinet door next to him, took out two neatly bundled bundles of yuan, and tossed them to the man opposite him.

"Here, give a share to the people who worked with you."

"Thank you, Third Young Master."

The man opposite caught the two bundles of money that Chen Laosan threw to him, casually put them aside, and thanked him expressionlessly.

“Xiao Dong, you grew up in our family, and I trust you completely, but those who work with you…”

"Third Young Master, those few cannot speak or write, so you don't need to worry about them at all. As long as I find any of them acting strangely, rest assured, you won't need to say anything, I will make them disappear on my own."

Upon hearing this, Chen Laosan slowly exhaled.

"Just handle it well. For the next period of time, let's focus on our work. Old Song and his gang have made such a big commotion that the police are on edge. I don't want to run into them."

If you have anything else on your plate, stop it all for now. Don't show your face during this time, and the same goes for your mute brothers.

Also, when giving them money, never give too much at once. Continue as before, giving them a little each week. This will prevent them from getting carried away with having a little money and spending it recklessly, which could cause trouble if others become suspicious.

"I understand, Third Young Master. I have a question for you."

"you say"

"Was the nurse there when you and Lao Song were talking here last night?"

"Yes, I'm here." Chen Laosan had just finished replying when he suddenly understood why Xiao Dong had brought this up.

A hint of hesitation crossed his face, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Your concerns are valid. I'm leaving it to you. Just keep things clean."

"This is none of your business," Xiao Dong replied expressionlessly.

Chen Laosan wasn't annoyed; he just smiled, shrugged, and then yawned.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'm going back to sleep. I didn't sleep well last night, and I went out early this morning. I just got back and only slept for a little over an hour before you came over."

Xiao Dong stared at him for a few moments without saying a word, then stood up and walked outside.

Chen Laosan sat there watching his retreating figure as he walked out of the room, chuckled, stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray on the table, and then got up and strolled towards the west wing.

Upon entering the west wing, he saw the toilet paper scattered all over the floor. Suddenly, Liao Xiaomei's image flashed into his mind. The thought that this woman, who had been with him for over a year, would pass away after tonight filled him with a sense of loss. He had originally wanted to sleep, but instantly lost all interest.

He irritably ran his hand through his hair, kicked a crumpled piece of paper on the ground, and turned to leave the west wing room.

Chen Laosan was unaware that the woman he was reluctant to part with had already reported him to the police station. He also couldn't have imagined that Li Yancheng had anticipated his actions and, after seeing Liao Xiaomei off, had called the headquarters to send three people to secretly protect her.

Chen had no idea that the body, which he thought would be discovered in a few days, had already been dug up by the Langshi police at one of the burial sites.

The reason why Langfang City police were able to discover it so quickly is thanks to an idle person.

The person who reported the incident was a villager from a village not far from one of the three burial sites. He had been playing cards in another place until 3 a.m. and had lost all his money. On his way home, he accidentally discovered a large truck parked on the edge of a wasteland not far from his village. Under the moonlight, he could vaguely see several people in the wasteland doing something.

That wasteland was overgrown with weeds because there were so many stones underground. The production team had organized several attempts to clear the land, but they couldn't get rid of the stones, so it remained abandoned and overgrown with weeds.

Upon seeing the large truck, a wicked thought immediately arose in the man's mind. He had lost all his money gambling and was worried about how to explain it to his wife when he got home. The large truck gave him a glimmer of hope.

He crept over and peered into the truck bed from the other side, hoping to find something good he could take and sell for money the next day.

He should have kept quiet; what he saw almost scared him to death.

Several people, men and women, young and old, were lying haphazardly in the truck bed.

There's no need to test them; just by looking at the chaotic state of the truck bed, you can tell that everyone lying there is dead.

Despite his fear, the man didn't dare make a sound, nor did he mention taking anything. He quietly got out of the car and hid to the side.

He had a rough idea of ​​what the people working in the wasteland were up to: they were burying the body.

Although this guy is an idler in the village, spending his days loafing around instead of doing farm work and dreaming of making money by playing cards, he still has a bit of conscience in his heart and can still stand his own ground when it comes to matters of principle.

He hid to the side and observed for a while. After discovering that the people were indeed burying stones, he quietly left and ran all the way to the police station on the commune street to report the case.

The police officer on duty at the police station was also taken aback when he heard this.

Good heavens, what's going on here? They've hauled a truckload of corpses and buried them in the wasteland?

After being startled, the police officer's first reaction was disbelief, thinking that the guy was playing a joke on him.

But seeing that the man's story sounded very convincing, they were still somewhat skeptical, so they called two colleagues along, and the four of them rode two bicycles toward the wasteland.

On the way, the police officer who received the report told the guy that if he found nothing when he got there, he would have to be locked up for a few days.

The man who called the police was sitting in the back, pounding his chest loudly, swearing he wasn't lying and that he really saw it with his own eyes.

And so, after going back and forth, by the time they arrived at that wasteland, it was already dawn in the east, and the big truck had vanished without a trace.

Following the person who reported the incident to the scene, the police officers, shining their flashlights, immediately saw clear tire tracks on the ground and realized that something serious had probably happened. Even tractors wouldn't come this far, let alone cars.

Following the directions of the person who reported the incident, the three police officers found a patch of fresh soil and several cigarette butts that had clearly been discarded recently.

Well, these few discoveries alone basically prove that the person who reported the case wasn't making a false report. The police officer in charge immediately arranged for a colleague to ride back to the station and call the county bureau, asking them to send someone over as soon as possible.

Around 6 a.m., the county criminal investigation team arrived, and the police officers from the local police station had already borrowed shovels and other tools from the nearby village. They started digging as soon as the county police arrived.

When the five bodies were dug out from under the fresh soil, the county criminal investigation team was stunned. They couldn't handle this case; they had to report it to the city bureau.

Moreover, according to the person who reported the incident, he saw far more than five bodies in the truck bed, and at the very least, there were no children's bodies there.

So the deputy captain of the county criminal investigation team who led the team hurriedly arranged for someone to go to the station to report to the county bureau leaders. Upon hearing this, the county bureau leaders hurriedly reported to the municipal bureau.

Around 9 a.m. on the 10th, the municipal bureau's leaders in charge, the criminal investigation detachment, the county's leaders in charge, and the county bureau leaders all arrived here one after another.

The exhumed body didn't even need professional assessment; anyone with eyes could tell it was a murder. Moreover, the killer didn't want the victim to be recognized, so they burned the face beyond recognition.

What terrified the leaders was the report that the truck was carrying a whole load of corpses. There were only five here, so where were the others?
Is it like here, where the murderer found a place to bury it?
The entire police force in Langfang City, especially in the county where the first bodies were discovered, mobilized. At the same time, county leaders also arranged for production team members in each commune to conduct a comprehensive search in remote areas around them.

Given the magnitude of the case, the Langshi Municipal Public Security Bureau immediately submitted a brief report to the Provincial Public Security Department. The Provincial Public Security Department sent personnel to assist the case and also reported it to the provincial leaders and headquarters.

The case immediately drew great attention from the North River Province and the Public Security Headquarters. Provincial leaders and a team of experts from the headquarters immediately set off for the scene.

Because it was not yet clear where the truck the complainant saw came from, and because there was another county belonging to Langfang City between the incident site and Beijing, no one immediately connected the truck with Beijing, so naturally no one reported it to the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

Therefore, Li Yancheng was completely unaware of what had happened in Langshi and did not know that the person he was looking for had become a corpse.
