1983Fishing and Farming between Mountains and Seas

Chapter 426 Is it a blackmail letter written by Liang Zifeng?
"Dai Qingfu killed someone? What exactly happened? Can you tell us?" Liang Ziqiang asked immediately.

"It seems your father really didn't tell you?" Captain Gao glanced at Liang Ziqiang, "More than two years ago, your father, your brother, and your younger brother were taking shelter on Banjiu Island. Standing on the boat, they happened to secretly see Dai Qingfu and his men strangling a man with a rope. After that, your father and his men began to send letters to the Qingyi Group to extort money. They extorted Dai Qingfu several times and succeeded every time!"

"No, absolutely not!" This time, Liang's father and Liang Tiancheng argued almost at the same time.

"The three of us were squatting at first, but when we heard coughing, we stood up and looked at the island. When we looked over, the three people from Banjiu Island were standing on the island doing nothing.

By the way, they did hold a broken rope in their hands. I only guessed it now after hearing what you said. Could it be that the broken rope was used to strangle someone? Where is the person? Anyway, we didn’t see it. We didn’t see them strangling anyone, nor did we see the strangled person lying there. How could they extort money? !”

After enduring a series of thunder-like attacks, Liang's father finally recovered and began to speak more fluently as he made his defense.

Liang Ziqiang looked at Captain Gao, then at his father and elder brother.

What Captain Gao said could not be false. It could be heard that after Dai Qingfu was arrested this time, he could not hold on any longer and confessed everything about his murder. He also told about the blackmail he suffered from the three Liang family members afterwards.

But his father and eldest brother were very excited, and they didn't look like they were lying. As close relatives, Liang Ziqiang could still sense the grievance they were feeling.

What both sides say is right, but they are in serious contradiction with each other. It is impossible for both sides to be true at the same time.

What's the problem?

This is too hard to explain...

There is one thing. Liang Ziqiang has finally solved a mystery that has puzzled him for many days:

Why was it that Dai Qingfu wanted to kill his father and brother for no reason when everything they experienced on Banjiu Island that day was so normal?

With the fatal evidence and the blackmail in the middle, everything was not without reason. It was difficult to make Dai Qingfu not want to kill.

"The handwriting on this letter really seems to be Afeng's handwriting?!"

One of the villagers read the letter for a while and wondered.

"No, Afeng's handwriting is only similar to this, but I dare say that this is definitely not Afeng's handwriting. I can find Afeng's old homework book now and show it to you!"

Liang Ziqiang was about to turn around and go into the house when a man stood up from the crowd. It was his elementary school teacher Lu Guangcai.

Lu Guangcai pointed at the blackmail letter and said in a very firm tone:
"I have taught Liang Zifeng before, and I have some accomplishments in calligraphy. Let me tell you. When Ah Feng wrote the characters for bird and island, he always wanted to save time by writing the three strokes at the top in one stroke. But in this letter, he wrote the three strokes separately.

There are also the characters "钱" and "戴". As for the slanted hook on the far right, Afeng made it very round. I felt like he wanted to imitate him in the letter, but the way he made it was neither round nor pointed, which looked awkward.

If you ask me, the conclusion is very simple. Someone wanted to imitate Liang Zifeng's calligraphy, but failed to imitate it completely correctly. There are still many flaws.

I can guarantee that this is definitely not Liang Zifeng's handwriting. Don't worry, I won't joke about my reputation as a calligrapher!"

After saying this, Lu Guangcai patted his chest, looking dignified and imposing, as if Wang Xizhi was present at the Juzipo site in person.

Captain Gao and his colleagues were stunned upon hearing this.

Hearing Lu Guangcai calling himself a "calligrapher", Zhong Yongrui was also embarrassed and quickly explained with a smile:
"On weekdays, all the fishing boats in our village have auspicious words posted on them, and the calligraphy is basically done by Mr. Lu. In our village, he is really considered a calligrapher!"

Captain Gao and the others said "oh" as if they suddenly understood, and then prepared to continue to torture the person.

At this time, another head with short braids popped out from behind Lu Guangcai. It was his daughter Lu Haitang.

Lu Haitang has lost a lot of weight recently, so she should be on vacation at home today.

She also pointed out: "And the word 'Lu', Afeng doesn't write it like this, especially the word 'Yu' at the top!"

By the time they finished talking, Liang Ziqiang had already found Liang Zifeng's old composition book from the inner room, and he also took his homework from the period of preparing for the college entrance examination, which was relatively recent. He took out both and showed them to Captain Gao.

"Look, see what I said was right. Compare how the word 'island' is written in the composition book, and look at the word 'money' as well! The word 'lu' that Haitang mentioned is indeed very different!" Lu Guangcai found a few words and pointed them out to Captain Gao and the others.

Liang Ziqiang couldn't analyze the handwriting in so many ways, but he immediately thought of one point:

"You should read the composition written by Afeng carefully. He is very literary and his word choice is different from others. Even if he wrote a blackmail letter, his tone would not be like that at all!"

Several police officers looked at the handwriting carefully, and then read the contents of the composition carefully, with more and more doubts on their faces.

"Let's put it this way. We can't just let people go simply because of a few different handwritings." Captain Gao finally decided, "We still have to interrogate the people. We will also take these composition books and notebooks away. Then we will have real handwriting experts compare them to determine whether they were written by the same person!"

"Also," Captain Gao looked at Liang Ziqiang and the others, "Everyone in your family should pick out ten or so words from the letter and write them down on paper for me to see. I will also take them away for the handwriting expert to identify!"

If the handwriting on the blackmail letter doesn't match that of Liang Ziqiang's family, then it can be basically ruled out. After all, blackmail is a serious crime, and it is unlikely that they would ask an outsider to write the blackmail letter.

So, Liang's father, Liang Tiancheng, Liang Ziqiang, Kuang Haixia, and Chen Xiangbei were all asked to write a dozen characters. Liang's mother didn't read much when she was young and didn't know how to write, but she was also asked to write a few simple characters.

Lizhi is not any better than Liang's mother. When Lu Guangcai entered primary school for a few years, he was almost angry to the point of vomiting blood. Until now, he can only recognize a few words, and in the end he could only barely write a few simplest words on paper.

After finishing writing, Lizhi threw down the pen and took a look, and suddenly found that his father and elder brother were being taken away and were walking towards the jeep.

This time she couldn't stand it anymore and suddenly burst into tears. She ran after them and grabbed Captain Gao and the others to stop them from taking the person away.

After pulling a few times, he opened his mouth and was about to bite someone's arm...

Liang Ziqiang, who was following closely behind, looked at this scene and felt that it was so familiar. In the previous life, when he was taken away, Lizhi ran after him crying and bit him. Later, people didn't care because they thought she was mentally ill.

The scenes at that time were almost exactly the same as the situation before my eyes.

Liang Ziqiang quickly stopped her before she bit anyone, and called Captain Gao and the others:
"Captain Gao, wait a moment. I want to ask my father and brother one more question. Just one more question!"

The police temporarily withdrew their feet. Liang Ziqiang approached his father and elder brother and reminded them loudly:
"Dad, big brother, you must think carefully again. That day beside Banjiu Island, besides you three, were there any other boats taking shelter there?!"

My father and eldest brother turned around and shook their heads in the same affirmative manner:

"No, there's nothing to block the view on the sea. How could we not see any boats on the sea? Apart from the three of us driving the old boat, we didn't see any other boats at all!"

Liang Ziqiang didn't know what to say to such a positive answer. But apart from this possibility, Liang Ziqiang really couldn't think of any other possibility. A real blackmail letter must have been written by someone, it couldn't have just fallen from the sky.

"Don't jump to conclusions yet. Think about it slowly over the next few days and remember it well!"

After saying this, he looked at Captain Gao again and said earnestly:

"Captain Gao, my dad and the others are definitely innocent, you must find out for sure!"

"Don't worry, we are just taking them for investigation. The Municipal Bureau has its own handwriting identification experts. We will go back and compare the handwriting carefully, and then interrogate them in depth. As long as the suspicion can be ruled out, they will be released immediately." Captain Gao seemed to no longer think that the blackmail was done by the Liang family father and son, and said solemnly, "We will not wrongly accuse a good person!"

"Thank you very much! At the same time, please make sure you investigate thoroughly and find out who it is that extorted so much money and used my father and others as scapegoats!" Liang Ziqiang proposed again.

"Again, we won't let any bad guy go!"

Captain Gao replied in a resounding voice.
