Chapter 285 The Decadent Zhao Suo
Back at the criminal investigation team, Qi Lei asked Li Yan to check the situation of the other three children. He had a hunch that if the identities of these three children could be found out, the whole thing might be connected, and perhaps they could find a breakthrough.
Didn't Hu Weiqiang say that he was not the core member of Zhao Zhixiang's team? He heard Yu Ming call Zhao Zhixiang the boss, and there were also the third and sixth. These people were most likely the children who survived that year.
In terms of age, Zhao Zhixiang is the eldest and Yu Ming is the third. This is what we know so far. According to the information of the seven children, Lao Wei is the fourth and Chen Hao should be the sixth. The second, fifth and seventh children are missing now.
The original names of these three children were very common, Zhang Wei, Li Mei, Guo Jun, and Li Mei was the only girl among them. These names were the most common names in that era, and the probability of having the same name was very high.
I thought it would be easy to find out using the children's original names.
However, because the rate of duplicate names is so high, there are at least hundreds or even thousands of people with the same name, and it takes time to check them one by one.
Su Xiaoxiao felt that it was too slow, so she called Lin Xue over to see if she could draw what these people would look like when they grew up based on their childhood photos.
Lin Xue picked up the photo and looked at it for a while. The photo was taken more than 30 years ago and had turned yellow and old and was a bit blurry. It was also a black and white ID photo. She could draw how they would look when they grew up, but that would take time.
In this case, there is no point in them being anxious. They might as well think about whether there are other methods that can be used.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a piece of paper and started writing and drawing on it.
Qi Lei came over and saw it, and asked her what she thought.
“In fact, it is now very obvious that these seven people are Zhao Zhixiang’s core team. They met at the welfare home and have a close relationship. Perhaps they were all bullied at the welfare home and have a close relationship because they want to keep each other together. Therefore, after they were adopted by their respective parents, they have no interactions on the surface, but they have actually been secretly connected.
Zhao Zhixiang and Yu Ming were engaged in business, and they used the money they earned to help others get good jobs, and then provided them with convenience. "
Su Xiaoxiao was thinking.
"Think about it again, why is their relationship so strong?" Qi Lei suggested.
In fact, Su Xiaoxiao had already thought of it, but she just couldn't believe it.
"I know you think there was something wrong with the fire thirty-five years ago. It's very likely that these kids were responsible. They have a common secret, so they formed such a strong alliance. But I'd rather we were wrong. Dozens of lives were lost, and they were only teenagers at the time. The youngest was only eight years old."
"Children are sometimes more cruel than adults. Think about what they did later. They were able to secretly train killers to use for their own benefit. Every step they took to climb the ladder was stained with blood. Now that we have a guess, we must investigate them thoroughly and not tolerate them."
Qi Lei knew that after investigating to this point, he had to completely eliminate this cancer, otherwise there would be endless troubles. When he went to report to Captain Zhai, Captain Zhai also thought so. He had arranged for the team members to dig out the connection between them bit by bit to form a chain of evidence.
If a single piece of evidence is not enough, then dig bit by bit. Once there is a breakthrough, you can connect them all together. No matter how powerful he is, he can't cover the sky with one hand.
A day later, Lin Xue drew the first picture, which was what Chen Hai would look like when he grew up, the second in command of the gang.
When Su Xiaoxiao, Qi Lei and others saw how the second son Chen Hai looked when he grew up, they were stunned.
They knew this person.
In Fengqiao Police Station, Chief Zhao was talking on the phone. It was obvious that he was not having a pleasant conversation with the person on the phone and they seemed to be arguing about something.
When he hung up the phone and turned around, he saw several people standing at the office door.
He hurried out to greet them and led them into the office. "Captain Qi, why are you here without telling me in advance?"
"We're here because we have something to talk to you about." Qi Lei sat down on the sofa and saw Zhao preparing tea for them. "Don't be busy, come over and chat."
Zhao Suo instinctively felt that Qi Lei's attitude today was a little abnormal, and sat down opposite him nervously.
"Captain Qi, what's going on?"
Qi Lei took out a piece of paper, which was the welfare home's file, but it was not the original but a copy. He handed the paper to Chief Zhao.
Zhao took it and looked at it, and the expression on his face changed slightly.
"Do you know this Chen Hai?"
"I know him. This Chen Hai is me. This was my name when I was in the welfare home."
Zhao Suo smiled bitterly. Qi Lei and the others had come to him with this, so they must have known it. There was no point in denying it.
Qi Lei handed Zhao Suo a few more pieces of paper. These were the names of all the surviving children. This time, not only did Zhao Suo's face change, but tiny beads of sweat also appeared on his forehead.
"Is there anything you want to tell us?"
"I don't know what you want me to say." Zhao shook his head.
"Captain Zhao, you know what we want you to say. No matter how secretive some things are, there will always be loopholes. Just like your identities, as long as we know one person's, we can find out the others.
Don’t you think it’s a coincidence that the traitor we caught, the criminal who hired a killer, and the rich man in this city all came from the same orphanage, and they are all survivors of the fire thirty-five years ago.”
"Maybe it's just a coincidence." Zhao Suo smiled bitterly.
"Do you believe this? Since you don't want to say it, I'll tell you.
It was you seven who set the fire thirty-five years ago, right? Because the people in the orphanage were not nice to you, the other kids also bullied you. Every time there was a fight, even though you were not the first to start it, you were the ones who were punished.
You were unwilling to give in, so you set a fire on New Year's Eve of that year.
Chen Hai, no, Zhao Zhenhua, Zhao Suo, although there are people who bully you, there are also innocent children, some of whom are only two or three years old. How did they get in your way? How could you bear to do that?!
Have you ever lived in peace these years? ! "
The muscles on Zhao Suo's face trembled, but he still refused to speak, so Su Xiaoxiao took over the conversation.
"Captain Zhao, you are actually different from them. I can sense that although you are in the same group, you do not completely agree with what they do. You seem to be depressed these years because you cannot get rid of them.
You didn't use the money they gave you at all. You were the chief of a police station, but your family situation was worse than Lao Wei's. Because you didn't cooperate with them, they rarely looked for you over the years, and directly let Lao Wei do it.
Each of you has your own role. Originally, there is no need for a police station to arrange two of its own people. They should no longer trust you. Lao Wei actually has another role, which is to monitor you.
Because after the Lu Cheng incident, they started to suspect you.
Those people were determined to kill Lu Cheng, but you were the one who always protected him. If it weren't for you, he would have died countless times.
In fact, you already knew that Lu Cheng didn't lose his memory, right? "
