Chapter 689 Sleepless
The gun theft case at the West City Sports School has been solved after the arrest of the "Four King Kongs" and the recovery of the stolen firearms and ammunition. Now, these four guys are involved in other cases.

According to Zheng Yang's confession, the two people who went missing from Yi Shun's life were indeed murdered, but they were not killed by the four of them.

The four of them only played a supporting role at best; the one who actually did the work was this guy named Jiang Feiyang.

Who is this Jiang Feiyang?
His situation was actually similar to Tong Xiurong's. The difference was that Tong Xiurong went to the Northeast Forest Farm with her husband's family, while Jiang Feiyang went to the grasslands because of his father.

The woman surnamed Tong was able to return to Beijing because, on the one hand, her father-in-law's affair was investigated and clarified, and on the other hand, she herself worked hard and was admitted to university.

Jiang Feiyang didn't get into university; he came back simply because his father's affair had been investigated and clarified.

Like Tong Xiurong's parents-in-law, Jiang's parents also couldn't withstand the harsh environment of the grasslands and remained there forever.

After he returned to Beijing, the organization arranged a job for him, paid back his parents' wages for those years, and provided him with housing.

Normally, he has a house, a job, and money. His father's friend also introduced him to a woman, who is now his wife. Not long after they got married, his wife became pregnant. If he were willing to live like this, he could definitely live a very successful life thanks to his father's old connections.

But he was a restless soul. He felt that he had suffered in the grasslands for several years and should enjoy himself when he came back, and that he should be compensated even more.

With this in mind, he began to do evil. At first, he did it on a small scale because he was unsure whether his father's old connections would turn a blind eye to what he was doing.

After testing the waters for a while, he found it wasn't too bad, so he became increasingly arrogant.

As for killing those two people, it was simply because they saw him with another victim.

Yes, there was another victim, a woman from Yangchao.

After the woman was killed by Jiang Feiyang, her body was disposed of with the help of those four people.

After the victim went missing, her family reported it to the police. The police station that received the report investigated but found no clues. It was a case of neither the person nor their body, so it could only be treated as a missing person case.

Jiang Feiyang was a little uneasy because those two thugs from Yishun had seen him with the missing woman, and he was worried that they would report him to the police.

So he had those four men lure out the two who had seen him, and he personally dealt with them one by one. The bodies were still buried by the "Four Heavenly Kings".

To be fair, these four men were quite skilled at disposing of corpses.

On the afternoon of the 27th, following Zheng Yang's confession, the bodies of the three victims were found.

Jiang Feiyang had done many illegal and criminal things, but Zheng Yang and the other three didn't know much about them. They only knew that someone was covering for him.

Now that this guy surnamed Jiang has been arrested, who knows how many people will be unable to sleep peacefully.

Li Yancheng knew very well that the facts of this kid's criminal offenses would be easy to investigate. The key was to see who had covered up his illegal and criminal activities.

After learning about this person, Li Yancheng carefully examined the information about him and his parents and came to the conclusion that there must be quite a few people involved behind this.

He was also somewhat helpless, wondering why he always had to be the one to uncover these messy things in the end.

Is he really suited to work for the Supervisory Commission?
The ceiling fan whirred and whirred, and with the ice cubes placed in the corner of the room, the temperature was very comfortable. In fact, if it weren't for Luo Min, and it was just Li Yancheng alone, he wouldn't need to turn on the fan at all.

His body temperature is higher in winter and lower in summer, like a smart air conditioner that can adjust itself. Otherwise, Luo Min wouldn't be clinging to him so tightly even on such a hot day. It's because it's comfortable to hold him.

Zhu Yongyang obtained window air conditioners from Cheng Jianwen's imported goods, and they wanted to install them here, but he didn't agree.

Apart from his wife being a little sensitive to heat, both of his children inherited his constitution; they are not afraid of heat or cold, and are fine as long as they don't deliberately expose themselves to the sun in the summer.

Not only do those window-type air conditioners consume a lot of electricity, they are also very noisy when they are working, and the exhaust will also vent hot air into the yard, making the yard, which was originally at a comfortable temperature due to the shade of the big trees, hot and dry.

With so many drawbacks, even Luo Min, who is slightly sensitive to heat, disagreed with installing that window air conditioner.

Another major reason is that their family is already quite prominent in this area, so they should keep a low profile. It wouldn't be good if people talked about them behind their backs all the time.

The old neighbors who had lived here before liberation didn't care. They had all watched Li Yancheng grow up and see him rise to his current status. Although they envied the Li family's prosperous life, they also knew that it wasn't easy for a child who was picked up as a child and had no parents to get to where he is today, so they didn't say anything.

However, those who moved here later, especially some who moved here in the 1960s and 70s, would report the Li family from time to time, causing them a lot of trouble.

Unable to sleep, Li Yancheng sat on the bed, one arm around his wife, gently stroking her smooth skin, his mind wandering.

Only after finishing his cigarette did he clear his mind of these distracting thoughts and begin to rethink the case within a case that had been triggered by the gun theft.

As expected, the disciplinary cases implicated by Jiang Feiyang will certainly be significant, but that has nothing to do with him. At most, he will just send people to cooperate with the supervisory committee.

What he needed to figure out was how many criminal cases this kid surnamed Jiang had committed, whether he had any other lives on his hands, and whether he had committed any crimes on the grasslands.
Murder is just two words, easily uttered with a few words, but it's not so easy to do. Let alone murder, even killing a chicken or a fish, the scene of disembowelment can cause physical discomfort for many people.

Li Yancheng didn't believe that the woman was Jiang Feiyang's first victim, because according to Zheng Yang's confession, he wasn't at the scene when Jiang committed the murder; they were called over later to dispose of the body.

When the four of them saw the corpse, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to go forward for a long time. They were even mocked by the guy surnamed Jiang for being naive and unsophisticated.

Listen, is this something a normal person would say?
This also shows that this was definitely not the first time Jiang Feiyang had come into close contact with a corpse.

Zheng Yang's statement also said that when they arrived, the victim was naked and had many injuries all over his body, which was confirmed when the body was found yesterday.

Although the body was already decomposed, the forensic examiner still saw many of the injuries described in the confession from the remaining parts.

This also shows that the guy surnamed Jiang's mentality has become extremely twisted. He probably doesn't dare to do anything inappropriate with his wife, so he can only satisfy his desires by finding someone outside through illegal means.

This kind of distorted "preference" couldn't have formed overnight, or suddenly; it requires a gradual development process. And in this day and age, finding a partner who shares the same "preference" is no easy task.

Although many Western trends had already entered the country by this time, and novel things were refreshing, people were still generally terrified of talking about sex. Even couples walking hand in hand on the street would not do so, let alone anything else.

Unlike decades later, when every "hobby" can find a corresponding circle.

In this situation, Jiang Feiyang had no other way to satisfy his unique "hobby" except by doing something illegal.

Therefore, Li Yancheng felt that this kid must have other people's blood on his hands.

……

Meanwhile, the "big brother" that Jiang Feiyang had contacted before leaving Beijing also stayed up all night.

He said he could help stall Li Yancheng for a day, but in reality he did nothing. It wasn't that he deliberately didn't do anything, but that he knew very well that it was impossible to do so.

That's right, he was bragging to Jiang Feiyang.

He had absolutely no connection with Li Yancheng. He could know this outstanding figure among his peers in Beijing, but whether Li Yancheng knew him was another matter entirely.

He hadn't slept all night, not because he was worried about Jiang Feiyang. Actually, the reason that the kid surnamed Jiang called him "big brother" wasn't because they had a particularly good relationship. It was just that they lived in the same courtyard when they were kids, and the kid would often follow him around. Ever since then, he had called him "big brother" every day.

After Jiang Feiyang went to the grasslands with his parents, they lost contact until seven or eight years later, when he was the only one left in the Jiang family to return to Beijing.

Jiang Feiyang came to see him after returning from the grasslands. After more than ten years of not seeing each other, he felt a bit unfamiliar with this little brother who used to follow him around when he was a child.

But the guy surnamed Jiang was still as enthusiastic as ever towards him, calling him "Big Brother" all the time, and he never corrected him.

And so, the two often ate, drank, and chatted together, and their relationship grew increasingly good.

Gradually, he noticed that something was off about the kid. He often said cynical things and acted recklessly. Seeing this, he slowly began to reduce the number of times he met with Jiang Feiyang.

He had ambitions, but he didn't want his future to be affected by someone like that.

Jiang Feiyang had also asked him for help with some matters, but he politely declined each time, saying he had no authority over them.

He works in the next level of the organization, which is the talent pool for cultivating the next generation of talent. The administrative level is not low; he is now a full-fledged division chief, but he doesn't really have much power.

Yesterday morning, Jiang Feiyang came to see him. The reason he was able to give the idea of ​​letting him escape was mainly because he was deceived. That kid didn't tell the truth. He thought it was just about the four people stealing guns. He didn't expect there was also a murder case involved. If he had known, he would not have advised him to turn himself in, but at the very least, he would never have given the idea of ​​letting him escape.

At that moment, he was unaware that the kid had already been arrested on the train. Instead of sleeping, he was thinking about his future.

He is over thirty years old this year. After the college entrance examination was reinstated, he was admitted to university and started working in a secondary organization after graduation.

Thanks to the connections left by his father, who passed away from illness while he was in college, and his own hard work, he has reached this point in just three years since graduation.

Now he feels it's time for him to step out of this department and embrace new challenges.

However, whether or not his job position should be adjusted is not up to him to decide. Moreover, different positions have different requirements, and he does not want to go to a department that has no real work content and is just a place of empty talk.

The reason he chose to consider these things tonight was because he knew very well that even if Jiang Feiyang ran away, he probably wouldn't be able to escape. And if this kid was caught, who knows how many people would be implicated. This was an opportunity for him.

At that moment, he completely forgot that it was he who had given the idea to let them run away.

If Jiang Feiyang confesses that he was the one who let him escape after he was caught, well, where will he go next? That's not a question he should be thinking about. What he should be thinking about is whether he can keep his current job.

Completely unaware of the seriousness of the problem, he was now constantly thinking about which uncle or elder he should go to and how to get their support.

So he sat there alone all night, thinking, until it was getting light outside, when he finally stood up and stretched.

Despite not having slept all night, he felt no drowsiness at all. On the contrary, he seemed energetic and even a little excited because he felt that his next step was in place. He was thrilled and excited about this, and even the slight heat in the early morning air felt incredibly comfortable to him.

"You...didn't sleep at all last night?"

Just as the man was lost in his fantasy, a voice rang out, pulling him back to reality.

The man standing by the window turned his head and glanced indifferently at the woman who had just come out of another bedroom. She was his wife, the woman his father had chosen for him years ago, a wife of so-called "equal social standing".

He's been married for over ten years, and his eldest daughter is twelve years old. He doesn't know when it started, but he feels a deep-seated aversion to this woman whenever he sees her.

He couldn't explain why, maybe it was because they didn't have a common language. He always felt that he was talented but unappreciated. This feeling wasn't so obvious before he went to university, but it became even stronger after he graduated.

But this woman in front of me, all she talks about all day long is trivial family matters, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and what's wrong with the kids. In a word, she's "vulgar" and "extremely vulgar."

"Something's bothering me, I can't sleep."

After replying, the man turned back to look out the window.

The woman didn't care about his attitude; instead, she walked over to his side.

"I was going to ask you last night, but I got distracted and forgot. Where did your little brother go with his wife and kids?"

"Ok?"
