Chapter 61 YUYA ISLAND (4)

The silence in the hospital room was long. Yu Chunming looked at Yu Zhenshan, and Yu Zhenshan also looked at Yu Chunming.

After a long while, the leader, who had always been arrogant, self-respecting, and imposing without anger, suddenly showed a moment of looseness in his expression. His lips trembled slightly, and his eyes flickered, as if considering how to answer the question, or thinking about how to refuse to answer it.

And this was the flaw he couldn’t hide. Yu Chunming saw it at a glance. He said, “You know.”

The light “You know” was like a surging flood, instantly collapsing the thousands of miles of dikes built by Yu Zhenshan. He replied sternly, “So what if I know? It’s been so long.”

Yu Chunming closed his eyes and smiled: “It’s been so long…yes, it’s been so long. But what about back then? Did you do anything back then?”

Yu Zhenshan was a policeman, even twenty or thirty years ago, he was one of the best policemen in the Songlan City Bureau. If he wanted to investigate something or know something, wouldn’t it be easy?

But –

“They are already dead. At least back then, they were determined to be dead.” Yu Zhenshan avoided Yu Chunming’s gaze, turned his head, and looked out the window. “I can’t hold three dead people accountable, and I can’t hold the No. 2 Timber Factory, which was destroyed in the fire, accountable for a woman who has already divorced me. All I can do is raise the child she sent to me… to adulthood.”

Yu Chunming said nothing. No one knew if he was satisfied with this answer.

And Yu Zhenshan, as always, was unwilling to be at a disadvantage in any father-son confrontation. He said: “I repeat again, no matter your position or angle, you are not qualified to investigate this case any further. After your injury heals, either go to the police academy for further study, or resign from the police force. At that time, I will not give you a third choice.”

“What big mistake have I made that you want to drive me to death like this?” Yu Chunming raised his voice to question, but after asking, he suddenly laughed again, “Is it because you think that the son of a rapist is never qualified to be a policeman?”

The liquid in the IV drip dripped “tick-tock”. A trolley bed “clunked” past the door. The ward was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Yu Zhenshan did not answer, but in this silence, he knew that Yu Chunming would definitely agree to him.

Sure enough –

The person lying on the bed sighed softly, and then nodded: “If that’s really what you think, I’ll do as you wish.”

Guan Yao, who was far away in Hua Cheng, naturally couldn’t know what kind of deal Yu Chunming and Yu Zhenshan had reached. He was sitting in the Guanwen Town Police Station, watching the foreman of Tianyun Metallurgical Factory rummage through the employee roster from more than a decade ago.

“I’m really sorry, police officer, our factory’s management is too chaotic. Not to mention a few years ago, it’s hard to find even last year’s.” The foreman said with a smile.

Guan Yao casually flipped through the booklet on the table: “Isn’t there a number? Before the non-ferrous smelting took over the factory, your worker numbers should still be in accordance with the old state-owned enterprise standards. Temporary workers and outsourced workers have one set of numbers, and regular workers have another set of numbers. In the temporary workers’ numbers, the first few digits are the same as the last four digits of the ID card, and there are two digits that are the employee’s place of origin code. Since Ge Xiaopei and his fellow villager are both from Za Mu Er, just check 27 directly.”

“Ah, yes.” The foreman sucked in a breath of cold air and glanced sideways at the deputy factory director standing aside.

Wang Zhen had already noticed the trickery between the two. He didn’t wait any longer at this time, directly grabbed the foreman’s back collar and asked: “Little comrade, what are you doing with your eyebrows at him?”

The foreman was startled, and his face instantly turned pale: “I, I didn’t look at him…”

“Didn’t look at him?” Wang Zhen “tsk” said, “Earlier when I asked Ge Xiaopei, you answered well, but then when we talked about his fellow villager, you started to be vague. What’s going on?”

After speaking, Wang Zhen smiled and looked at the chubby deputy factory director: “Did you give our comrade a wink?”

“I, how could I?” The deputy factory director was guilty, and his forehead began to sweat.

“You didn’t?” Guan Yao asked rhetorically, “Everyone used to hold an iron rice bowl. Can you not know what the rules are in this factory? You’ve been dawdling here for a long time, and you have to look around when you flip through a roster. Do you think we police officers are easy to fool?”

“I…”

“Stop with the you, me, and him. Honestly explain, has something happened here… that’s not easy to say in public?” Wang Zhen tapped the table.

The deputy factory director shuddered, his face turning ashen, and sweat pouring down.

Liu Ying, the director of the Guanwen Town Police Station, also started to play dumb on the side: “Explain honestly, did you hear? Now we’re inviting you to cooperate with the investigation. If you know something, hurry up and say it. What if we put you in the interrogation room again? It’s not worth it.”

“Yes, yes, yes,” the deputy factory director wiped away a handful of cold sweat, glanced at Wang Zhen’s half-smiling expression, and whispered, “I know who Ge Xiaopei’s fellow villager is. He, his name is Li Guanglai. Back then, in the factory… he was a big shot.”

“Big shot? What kind of big shot?” Wang Zhen asked suspiciously.

The deputy factory director swallowed and didn’t dare to speak. The foreman cautiously answered: “His chemistry was very good. He could help the factory make a profit. The leaders valued him very much.”

“A high-tech talent,” Wang Zhen inquired, “Then how exactly did he make a profit?”

“This…” The foreman struggled for words, “He… could make some small things with small profits but quick turnover, to, to subsidize the factory’s deficit.”

“Chemistry, small profits but quick turnover…” Wang Zhen looked at Guan Yao, grinned, and then blurted out a few earth-shattering words, “Could it be drug manufacturing?”

Now, the few people who had been relatively calm instantly fell silent.

The experienced Team Wang guessed correctly. It was drug manufacturing.

And the foreman was tricked by someone, and immediately exposed his flaw. He didn’t expect that his excuse would be exposed all at once. He panicked instantly and hurriedly explained: “Police officer, we, we didn’t know at the time…”

“You didn’t know at the time, but you knew later. Then why didn’t you confess in the beginning?” Guan Yao said seriously, “Do you think you can deceive us by casually making an excuse?”

As for Liu Ying, the director of the Guanwen Town Police Station, he originally thought that accompanying the investigation this time was just to ask a few questions. He didn’t expect that it would involve a major case. He muttered and ordered his police officers: “Hurry up and go back and report to the Narcotics Control Brigade?”

“Hey, there’s no need to report to the Narcotics Control Brigade for the time being,” Wang Zhen waved his hand, “In my opinion, Tianyun Metallurgical is evasive about that matter. Li Guanglai should not have been successfully arrested by the police, right?”

The deputy factory director was struck by the words in his heart and immediately began to tremble. He stammered: “Yes, he wasn’t caught. The police also came to investigate at the time, saying that they found Li Guanglai’s name along some lower-level connections. This Li Guanglai in our factory had the highest degree of suspicion. If he was arrested, then our factory would be suspected of providing a place for drug manufacturing, and we would all have to go in…”

Wang Zhen raised an eyebrow.

“Then how did this Li Guanglai get recruited by Nonferrous Metallurgy? Isn’t he a wanted suspect?” Guan Yao asked in confusion.

The deputy factory director had no choice but to explain: “After the incident, we all wanted to run away, but Li Guanglai said he had a way. He asked us to change his original personal information registered in the factory, and forged the fact that Li Guanglai was dead. The police didn’t have much information, so they didn’t catch anyone.”

“Forged the fact that Li Guanglai was dead?” Guan Yao was full of questions. “How did you deceive the police investigation?”

“This…” The deputy factory director said slowly, “We, we exchanged his file information with a worker who died in an accident the year before. This worker’s family situation was unknown. After the accident, we couldn’t contact his relatives, so his ID card always stayed in the factory. His age was similar to Li Guanglai’s, and at that time, various information was not connected to the Internet, and we still had paper materials, so it was easy to change. When the police came to investigate, they found that Li Guanglai was dead, and the time didn’t match, so later, later it was over.”

“What was the name of the worker who died in the accident?” Guan Yao had a bad feeling.

“His name was Li Qie, also from Za Mu Er, about forty years old when he died.” The deputy factory director said, “This identity was very clean. The police who came to investigate even ignored him directly, and didn’t even summon him.”

Li Qie, Li Ying’s son, the household registration and age matched, and even the future work unit was the same. He was already dead? Then who was the Li Qie that Li Ying mentioned, who worked in another place and would send him money every now and then? Was it this “Li Guanglai” who replaced his identity?

Ten years ago, internal information in private enterprises was not connected to the Internet, and small and medium-sized companies still relied on paper files or Excel spreadsheets for management. There were unknown data silos everywhere. If this operation of Tianyun Metallurgical Factory hadn’t been brought up again ten years later, who would have known that such a big case had happened before?

Did Li Ying know these things? If he did, what role did he play in it? Was he an accomplice, or… an innocent father?

Guan Yao and Wang Zhen exchanged glances, feeling surprised and uncertain. Wang Zhen continued to ask: “What happened later?”

“Later… when Nonferrous Metallurgy was recruiting people, he specifically told us not to reveal this matter… In order to protect ourselves, we had to pretend that we didn’t know anything.” The deputy factory director answered with his head down.

“Didn’t Nonferrous Metallurgy find out that his documents had problems?” Guan Yao frowned.

“Li Guanglai was just recruited to do outsourcing, and the documents were not strictly checked. Nonferrous Metallurgy was in urgent need of people, and we were also eager to send Li Guanglai away, so we stuffed some money into the hands of the recruiting manager, and, and fooled him.” The deputy factory director trembled, “After all, if he was discovered, then we would definitely… also be finished, so no one dared to reveal a single bit of it.”

No one dared to reveal a single bit. If it hadn’t been for the carefree foreman who mistakenly mentioned his “fellow villager” when talking about Ge Xiaopei, who would have turned over this old account?

Wang Zhen chuckled, patted the deputy factory director on the shoulder: “That’s right, you are going to be finished.”

After speaking, he raised his chin at Liu Ying: “Come on, invite these people into the interrogation room.”

Late that night, several important deputy factory directors and foremen of Tianyun Metallurgical Factory finished their confession, allowing Wang Zhen and Guan Yao to finally piece together the action trajectory of “Li Guanglai” back then.

According to the foreman, this “Li Guanglai” should not have been more than forty-five years old eleven years ago. He looked very young, with knotted muscles and a strong build, but he was not the “strong brute” in the usual stereotype, but a “high IQ” talent with a gloomy mind and good at fiddling with chemistry.

“It was very difficult for our factory to recruit such a skilled worker, so he was highly valued as soon as he came. I remember that Director Wang also specially invited him to dinner.” The foreman recalled.

“Director Wang? Wang Xinsheng?” Guan Yao asked.

“Yes, Wang Xinsheng.” The foreman replied.

“Do you remember the specific time?” Guan Yao asked again.

“I don’t remember the specific time, but it should be in the… spring of eleven years ago.” The foreman thought for a while and said.

“Spring…” Wang Zhen sitting next to him whispered, “In January of the same year, Yang Xiaowei’s son died.”

Guan Yao raised his eyebrows and continued to ask: “Then later, how did you know that Li Guanglai was manufacturing drugs for the factory?”

“I, I ran into it once.” The foreman answered with his face drooping, “My education level is average, and I don’t understand what he was doing. I only know that Director Wang was furious after he found out, and said he would fire him. But, but later he felt that this person made a lot of money and was willing to subsidize the factory’s deficit, so Director Wang, he, he relented.”

“Then what was Wang Xinsheng’s reaction when the police came to investigate in the beginning?” Guan Yao asked.

“Director Wang, he, he was afraid, afraid that he would be investigated. I remember that he also said, also said… that Li Guanglai was doing it on purpose, to deliberately harm him.” The foreman’s words didn’t match.

“On purpose?” Wang Zhen suddenly heard the problem, “How did it become on purpose?”

“I don’t know about this, because Li Guanglai went to Nonferrous Metallurgy after avoiding the investigation, and Director Wang also sold the factory. We all thought this matter… we thought it was over.” The foreman answered softly.

“Li Qie? Do you have any impression of this person?” Guan Yao turned and asked about another person.

“I have a little impression. He was honest, didn’t like to talk. No one paid attention to him.” The foreman said frankly.

“What about the time of death?” Guan Yao was suspicious.

“Li Qie, Li Qie was… in November of the first year, it seemed to be the day of the Beginning of Winter, he accidentally fell into the smelting furnace.” The foreman replied.

Wang Zhen interjected: “Did Ge Xiaopei help Li Guanglai manufacture drugs?”

The foreman immediately replied: “No, definitely not. Ge Xiaopei is my subordinate. I know what he has done. This person, besides stealing chickens and dogs, doesn’t have any bad intentions, and he’s not educated. He can’t do that kind of thing.”

“Did Ge Xiaopei have any contact with Li Guanglai later?” Wang Zhen asked immediately.

“It seems, it seems that there was, but I don’t know much about other people’s affairs. I met Ge Xiaopei once when I went to the internet cafe next door to open a room last year. I knew he had gone to gamble again, and owed a lot of debt, and wanted to find a quick way to make money, and pay off the debt… and go back to his hometown.” The foreman replied.

Coming out of the interrogation room, Guan Yao said: “This Ge Xiaopei confessed at the beginning that after owing a lot of gambling debts, he started to use loans to pay off loans in order to repay the money, and mortgaged his ID card, and met an individual business owner who hired him to drive long-distance for private work. But as far as I know, Ge Xiaopei has a simple social relationship. Who would directly target him? It is likely to be that Li Guanglai who contacted him at the beginning.”

“Yes, I’ve seen his confession.” Wang Zhen nodded. “I remember Ge Xiaopei also said that when he was driving long-distance, he found that there were many bottles and cans in the things this person asked him to transport, and it was hard to say exactly what they contained, maybe they were contraband. This ‘Li Guanglai’ is highly similar to ‘Yi Jun’, especially in the point of fiddling with chemical products.”

Guan Yao slowly exhaled: “Team Wang, in that case, can it be proved that Chunming, he…”

“Chunming must have received a letter again after that.” Wang Zhen was suddenly so angry that he stamped his foot, “This apprentice of mine is really… trying to piss me off!”

Guan Yao was silent. He asked, “When are we going back to Songlan?”

“We’re going back tonight!” Wang Zhen said loudly. He said indignantly, “I have to ask, how many things is Yu Chunming still hiding from me!”

At this moment, Yu Chunming was leaning on the head of the bed watching Yu Huan torture Yu Chang. He could only lie on his side at the moment, and only his left hand could move. The remaining half of his body was occasionally so painful that he lost consciousness. He had to wait for Yu Huan or Yu Chang to feed him in a very embarrassing manner.

Therefore, Guan Yao suddenly became invaluable – Yu Chunming didn’t think there was anything embarrassing about him feeding him.

Just as he was thinking of Guan Yao, Yu Huan suddenly shouted: “Police Officer Guan said he can come back tonight!”

Yu Chunming’s eyes lit up: “Tonight?”

“Yes, the ticket is at 9 pm, and it will arrive at 9:55.” Yu Huan winked at Yu Chunming, “Police Officer Guan said he would come to see you as soon as he got off the car.”

Yu Chunming hadn’t seen Guan Yao for four days since he really woke up. He tried his best to recall everything before he lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss from time to time, vaguely feeling that he had said something he shouldn’t have said, and vaguely feeling that Guan Yao’s attitude seemed to be different from before, but he couldn’t remember which sentence he said wrong, and he couldn’t figure out where Guan Yao’s difference was.

So, it’s best to see him quickly and let him experience it well.

“Big brother, tell the little sister, is Police Officer Guan your new boyfriend!” Yu Huan begged bitterly.

Yu Chang, who was always taciturn, also quickly perked up his ears when he heard this. He looked at Yu Chunming, full of anticipation for an answer.

But Yu Chunming answered very directly: “Police Officer Guan doesn’t like men.”

“Police Officer Guan doesn’t like men?” Yu Huan was shocked.

Yu Chunming wanted to sit up a little at this time, but Yu Huan didn’t have a good look at this time. She shook the only hand that her big brother could move, and said sincerely: “Or, I’ll ask you?”

“What do you want to ask?” Yu Chunming asked vigilantly.

“Help you ask if Police Officer Guan has already secretly promised you.” Yu Huan said with a smile.

“Okay,” unexpectedly, Yu Chunming agreed. He said, “Go ask.”
