Chapter 41: Refreshing and Invigorating
(ps: The rankings will be updated at 12 midnight tonight. This should also be the last week we can make it to the new book chart, so I'm begging for recommendations and collections!!!)
He Jia gave an order, and the entire Qingyuan City's underworld was completely stirred up.
Even if we don't mention the prestige of He's family in Qingyuan, the reward of 10 million is enough to move countless people. In this era, although money is becoming less valuable, even in a prefecture-level city like Qingyuan, an ordinary house can be sold for 4 or 5 million, but there are still too many people who struggle their whole lives and may not be able to afford another ordinary house.
Whether it's the police or underworld thugs, they basically have no resistance to this kind of thing.
So in the subsequent time, almost every street and alley in Qingyuan City can be seen with figures wandering or exploring various movements everywhere, densely waiting for entry and exit in many hotels and rental houses.
Similarly, many people went around asking about all the information of relevant personnel who had grievances with He Mingguang in the past.
The whole Qingyuan was stirred up, but unfortunately, as the days went by, neither the police nor the thugs almost turned the entire Qingyuan upside down, and they almost had no harvest.
Not even a single clue.
Three days later, He's villa.
Sitting on the sofa, quietly listening to He Yun Guang's report, He Yi Zhong's face became increasingly gloomy. As he listened, he suddenly slapped his hand on one side of the sofa, making a loud muffled sound. "Enough! This bunch of useless people, in a small place like Qingyuan, they've been investigating for three days and haven't found any leads?!"
"Dad, calm down. The truth is that the culprit was too cunning. Although they didn't do anything to Mingguang's body after killing him, precisely because of this lack of action and the fact that it happened on a busy street, no clues were left behind on Mingguang's body."
"We can only investigate from the previous grudges with Ming Guang, but even if we start investigating from his high school days, after checking dozens of households, basically none of them are suspicious. Most of those families are ordinary families, no one is a mastermind, and they're mostly poor. They can't even afford to hire a decent hitman. After screening one by one, now we have narrowed it down to three or four targets. One has emigrated abroad, our resources can't reach him. Two are doing business in other provinces and have made a fortune, then moved to the southern coastal cities, where they're quite influential and have complex relationships. These people do seem suspicious, but our power doesn't extend that far. But don't worry, I've already asked someone to investigate through connections, once we find any suspicious clues, no matter how well they're doing in their local communities now, I'll avenge Ming Guang!"
He Yizhong's face gradually calmed down as he carefully explained again, and the cold light in his eyes flashed, "Then hurry up and investigate, even if they are immigrants, as long as it was done by them, I want their whole family to be buried with them!"
He Yizhong suddenly said after speaking a sentence, "Right, where did Mingguang go and what did he do before he died?"
"After investigation, he went to Yanhe County before being killed and brought back a female student who didn't want to attend school." He Yun Guang also spoke up immediately, with a slightly awkward tone, "This female student was indeed seduced by Ming Guang, according to what Song Ju's younger brother said, Ming Guang at that time also wanted to seduce the mother of that female student."
Even if He Yun Guang is knowledgeable and experienced, it's still a bit embarrassing to bring this up with his father, mainly because this matter is too troublesome, and this deadbeat brother of his has never done anything decent.
He Yizhong didn't change his expression at all, but raised his eyes and asked, "Is there anything suspicious about that family?"
"No, that man was doing business in the south and had an affair with several female college students. He didn't come back often. The woman opened a beauty salon in Yanhe County and knew nothing about Mingguang's affairs or any asset transfers. It was actually Mingguang who charmed the young girl into bed." He Guang explained again, "That day he went to Yanhe County and had lunch with the mother-daughter pair. After lunch, Mingguang went to play at a bath center opened by Yang in Yanhe County, but didn't have any conflicts with anyone. When he came out of the bath center, he picked up the young girl and checked into a hotel. There were no conflicts with anyone during this time either. Then he returned home. After returning home, he sent the young girl to school and was killed on his way back."
He's family power is indeed very strong, even Yang's family in Yanhe County can't compete with them, so everything that happened on the day He Mingguang was killed was easily investigated clearly.
But on that day, there was no suspicion at all.
Before He Mingguang died, apart from having fun with women, he had never had any conflicts with anyone.
The current investigation has indeed reached an impasse, with a clear direction in sight but unable to find a truly suspicious target.
"It seems that it wasn't that day after all." He Yizhong also nodded slowly, but immediately sank his face and said, "No matter how cunning the perpetrator is, they will always leave behind clues. With money, you can make a ghost grind, I don't believe we can't dig him out. Spread the word, the reward is increased to 200 million, and everything will be re-examined again. Also, whoever can find the real culprit, I, He Yizhong, owe him a favor. If he's clean, I'll let him rise through the ranks smoothly; if he's dirty, I'll promote him to a high position. No matter what, I must dig that person out!"
"Yes."
Yu Guang's face changed suddenly, and then he nodded immediately. In his nod, it was clear that his father's words would make the entire Qingyuan boil again.
Two hundred million, enough to drive any ordinary person crazy, whether it's a policeman or a thug, who can withstand this impact? And let alone mention He Yi Zhong's favor, this favor is probably more attractive than the two hundred million.
It's true that even if he were an ordinary police officer, He Yizhong could still make his career path several dozen times clearer. Even the most ordinary police officer would be able to easily rise to a certain position with the support of the He family. As for thugs? It's even simpler. No matter how ordinary a thug is, if the He family wants to promote him, he can easily become one of the top figures in Qingyuan City.
This seems to be even more crazy than a reward of 200 million.
And indeed, as soon as He Yun Guang's words came out, the already boiling Qingyuan became even more lively. The crowd that had been searching for several days without any gain not only didn't show any fatigue but instead became even more excited, like they had been injected with chicken blood. Those who had searched before re-examined their areas, and those who hadn't were now being searched by even more people in an even more meticulous manner.
But it has to be said that no matter how meticulous the investigation is, these countless moving figures have completely gone in the wrong direction from the start, and nobody knows that even if they work ten times harder, they will still end up with nothing.
Just as Qingyuan was getting more and more turbulent, a clean and spacious road street, with a taxi slowly stopping on the street, the real culprit stood on the street of Qingyuan.
At the moment when the real murderer got off the bus, several figures rushed over from left and right, near and far, but after a glance, they quickly shifted their gaze and stopped paying attention.
The murderer simply glanced around with a pair of big eyes, then walked away with a spring in his step, carrying a backpack on his back.
"It's been three days, Monday night killed that guy, really didn't expect after three days, now it's Thursday, the intention just appeared to let me harvest the opportunity, this time actually separated for so long, and the place where I harvested the intention is still Qingyuan."
Walking calmly on the street, Guo Zhengyang was in a good mood. What would this third heaven-sent opportunity be? Would it be like the first time, just an ordinary chance, or like the second time, a shocking great opportunity?
When there is no real chance of gain, this kind of yearning and expectation for the future can indeed excite people.
