Chapter 667 Return without Success
Against Jiang Yang's overwhelming intimidation, Zhang Quanlong confessed everything in less than two minutes.
"Dear police officers, we are all honest people in Xiaoniu Village. We stay in the fields all year round. At most, we usually take some of the vegetables we grow at home to sell in the city to support our families."
"My family used to be like this, but a few years ago my parents made a little money growing fruit trees, so they wanted to buy me a smaller house in the city so I could marry a wife in the future."
Zhang Quanlong spoke stumblingly, glancing at Jiang Yang from time to time to observe his expression.
"What do you want me to do? Just say whatever I ask you, and stop nagging at me."
Jiang Yang looked coldly and kicked him on the knee.
It didn't take much force this time, but Zhang Quanlong was timid to begin with, so he was so frightened that his leg bones became weak and he almost couldn't stand.
A group of people entered his house. The large self-built house didn't look anything special from the outside, but the decoration inside was quite modern.
It's excellent in the whole village.
"Ahem, I, I'll get to the point right away, right now!"
Zhang Quanlong wanted to pour tea for Jiangyang and others, but was blocked by Gao Jinyang. He immediately did not dare to move and had no choice but to give up.
"Xiaohu happened to find a good job that year, and half of his monthly salary was handed over to my parents, so I had the down payment for my new house at the end of the year."
"But I'm sorry. How can I stand in my brother's way and use my brother's money? He's good at studying, but I'm stuck. No matter what, I have to follow him first."
"So I went to the city to find him and wanted to return the money. But Xiaohu was not willing to say it. He said that the more money you earn, the more you earn. This is nothing. There will be more in the future."
"Anyway, I insist on accepting it, and you will accompany me to see the apartment on your day off."
When Zhang Quanlong said this, he paused and said, "We met Liu Guodong and Sun Xue Niwai when we were looking for a housing agency."
"Tsk, the man named Liu is sanctimonious and has been a hypocrite since he was a child. Because of his good looks, all the elders and aunts in the village like him. When he went to school, the teachers were also the best to him, so he went around bullying children from poor families."
"Xiaohu and I both had very bad tempers. If we didn't agree with him, we would fight each other when we met. Later on, he had the worst relationship with us brothers, and we almost never had a good conversation."
"I bumped into them the same day. Damn it, I said, why would Liu Guodong want to marry a woman who is older than him and a powerful thief? It turns out that he used the royal palace's money to support his wife outside!"
Zhang Quanlong was disdainful and spat on the ground.
"Then you started fighting again?"
Jiang Yang followed their words.
"No! This happened two or three years ago. People from one village can't make a big fuss outside. Officer Jiang Mingjian, I had a few words with him. When we left, Liu Guodong chased him out and gave him We each have a son, let us help keep it secret."
"Hehe, to be honest, I have never benefited from Liu Guodong in my life! He gives away cigarettes costing several hundred yuan whenever he asks. It shows that life is really good."
There was a bit of sourness in his words.
"It seems that we only started talking to each other during that one meeting. We met several times after that, but I didn't pay any attention to him. I didn't tell the village about Liu Guodong and Sun Xue. Why don't you keep your word after taking someone else's cigarette? No, it’s none of my business, it’s just a joke.”
Zhang Quanlong said with an apologetic smile: "Officer Jiang, what was the date of February of the first lunar month you mentioned? Anyway, I can't remember clearly. It's been more than half a year, who can remember it!"
"But I must have been working at the fish fillet factory at that time. The construction of the factory was a big deal for our village! Village Chief Li recruited workers through open recruitment, so I definitely stayed to help!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Dahu stood at the door and immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, the Zhang brothers contributed the most! They share the foundation of the factory!"
Jiang Yang turned his head and glanced at him. Li Dahu immediately shrank his neck and explained: "I didn't eavesdrop on purpose, I just wanted to see if there was anyone who could help..."
He had already gone far, but he was worried that Zhang Quanlong would say something bad to the village, so he turned back after secretly poking at him.
Liu Guodong and Sun Xue's extramarital affair is not good news after all. The times are different now. If this kind of thing spreads, it will be bad for Xiaoniu Village's reputation.
If the competing leaders knew about it, they would definitely have opinions.
If the fish fillet factory in Yixiao Niu Village is closed down, the losses will be huge!
Li Dahu smiled guiltily, with large beads of sweat dripping down his forehead.
Just one look from Jiang Yang was enough to frighten him and make him lose his mind.
"If the police have any questions, they will naturally contact you. It is better for Village Chief Li to stay away during the questioning stage, as it will affect the police's investigation and solving the case."
"Hey, okay, okay!"
When Jiang Yang spoke, Li Dahu scurried out, running far away for fear of being misunderstood.
After sending him away, the room became quiet again.
Zhang Quanlong rubbed his hands nervously, his palms covered with beads of sweat.
"Dear police officers, what I said is the truth! There is no moisture in it at all, I promise!"
"I really have no memory of what happened in the past year. If you ask which month I did something, I can tell you a few words. In January, there is no work in the fields, so I prepare things for the New Year at home."
He said smoothly, "It's February. I was busy from the first day of the new year to the ninth day of the lunar month, and then started the construction of the fish fillet factory. Oh, by the way, I went to the middle and had a fight with that guy Liu Guodong, who insisted on competing with me as the team leader. . I have the leverage and he is still arrogant in front of me, how can I bear it?”
That's all Zhang Quanlong said.
"No matter how good your brain is, I can't even think of a specific day!"
"Besides, I'm a rough guy, and my brain doesn't work well. Otherwise, I wouldn't have to rely on my brother to find a job, right, Officer Jiang?"
Zhang Quanlong argued for himself in a panic, his heart was in turmoil.
February 27?
How does he know what he is doing!
After all, he is in the village, either slacking off or joining in the fun with everyone!
I can't spare time to do anything else anyway.
Jiang Yang nodded, and Gao Jinyang quickly typed on the keyboard to record.
"Where is your brother? What was he doing that day? Are you two inseparable every day?"
"No. You are so old, how can you be like conjoined twins? But he has a job in the city, and I don't understand those things, so I don't care about him. Xiaohu can come and help me when he is free."
Zhang Quanlong thought for a long time, scratched his head and answered.
"That is to say, in February, you didn't see Zhang Quanhu every day, and you didn't know what he was doing?"
"Officer Jiang, what do you mean? My brother is a good boy and can't do anything bad!"
Jiang Yang comforted him, "Don't worry, I'm just asking a routine question."
He glanced casually and suddenly fell on the sleeping pills on the table.
Zhang Quanlong followed his line of sight, smiled and took the bottle of medicine in his hand, "I don't sleep well at night, and the doctor prescribed me medicine for several years. But recently my insomnia has improved, so I stopped taking it."
