Chapter 279 Hu Weiqiang's Weakness
After reading the case file, Su Xiaoxiao felt that there were some problems with Liu Zeyang's confession and he might not have told the whole truth.
He had been lurking beside Zhao Wei for so many years, and all the cases Zhao Wei committed were during his tenure, and he was beside Zhao Wei on the night of the crime. If he wanted to get evidence against Zhao Wei, he should not have left early, but he left early, and as a result, he didn't get any evidence at all.
Therefore, this doesn't make sense, unless he did more than just introduce the girl to Zhao Wei, and staying would trap him as well.
However, he did not expect that the Zhao family was much more capable than he had imagined, and they handled the aftermath so well that even the police could not find any evidence.
Although Liu Zeyang's confession is not of much use at present, he was right about one thing.
He said that he had not yet gained complete trust from the Zhao family, and it would not be him but the lawyer Hu Weiqiang who would handle the aftermath for Zhao Wei.
When Su Xiaoxiao found Qi Lei, he was talking to Captain Zhai. They looked very serious. Su Xiaoxiao stood at the door, hesitating whether to go in.
Captain Zhai noticed her at a glance and called her in directly.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" Captain Zhai asked.
She actually wanted to find Qi Lei, but it wouldn't hurt for Captain Zhai to listen together.
"I looked at the case file today and had an idea."
"tell me the story."
"I want to meet Hu Weiqiang."
"Who is Hu Weiqiang?" asked Captain Zhai. He had not been here long and did not know the cases they had handled before.
Hu Weiqiang is a famous lawyer in Jingzhong City, but he is also a robber. He robbed things and ran away, but let Qiu Mingzhang take the blame.
A good man who was brave enough to do something righteous was framed as a robber, causing tragedy for his family, and was finally shot in the head.
The real robber, Hu Weiqiang, became a hypocritical lawyer and enjoyed the respect of others.
When they were investigating the case, although they eventually cleared Xu Mingzhang's name and arrested Hu Weiqiang, Xu Mingzhang also died in the end. This has always made Su Xiaoxiao feel aggrieved. There was someone behind the scenes fanning the flames, and they have not caught this person yet.
Qi Lei briefly introduced the situation of Xu Mingzhang's case to Captain Zhai.
Hu Weiqiang was the Zhao Group's personal lawyer at the time. After he was arrested, the Zhao Group replaced his lawyer.
"I read the confession. Although Liu Zeyang did not provide any evidence, he was right in one sentence. At that time, Hu Weiqiang was the Zhao Group's lawyer. He had leverage over others and he handled many things. So, I think when Zhao Wei got into trouble, he was probably the one who cleaned up the mess.
Given his personality, he was not willing to be controlled by others. He later trained his own people. Although he did not involve the Zhao family when he admitted his crimes, I think he must have kept some evidence in his hands. I just don't know why he didn't confess it.
You know, if he has made significant contributions, he will most likely be treated leniently and may not be sentenced to death.
But he didn't explain. I suspect that Zhao Zhixiang still has a weak spot for him.
We urgently need some evidence to prove Zhao Wei’s guilt and make it impossible for him to escape punishment.”
Qi Lei and his team are really having a headache now. The current evidence is not enough to convict Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wei refuses to admit it. There are also people above them putting pressure on them. If they can't find a breakthrough, this matter will turn from active to passive.
"It's a good idea to meet Hu Weiqiang," Captain Zhai said, "but I'm afraid it won't work just like that. At least we have to find out what his weakness is, otherwise he won't talk."
"Yes, we need to find his weakness, but I didn't find anything suspicious in his confession. So, today I re-watched the video of his interrogation and found a suspicious point. Maybe we can find his weakness."
"Oh, what's suspicious?" Qi Lei also became curious. He was present when Hu Weiqiang was being tried, so how come he didn't find any suspicious points?
Su Xiaoxiao took out the USB drive and said, "I need to borrow Captain Zhai's computer."
She inserted the USB drive into the computer and opened the interrogation video.
When Hu Weiqiang was being tried, she and Qi Lei were both present. They obtained evidence that he ordered the murder and used psychological warfare to pry open his mouth. She thought at the time that he would confess something else, but he only confessed his own affairs and did not reveal anything about the Zhao family.
Su Xiaoxiao froze the video at one point. She pointed at the screen and said to Captain Zhai and Qi Lei, "Look here. In the interrogation room at that time, there was another person besides the two of us."
"Chen Hao." Qi Lei looked at the screen.
Chen Hao was a veteran in the team, and Su Xiaoxiao was a newcomer at the time, so he and Chen Hao were the main judges. If Chen Hao had not been confirmed as a traitor by them, Su Xiaoxiao would not have suspected him.
"Look, when Chen Hao was showing the evidence to Hu Weiqiang, he walked in front of him. We thought he was afraid that Hu Weiqiang couldn't see clearly, and didn't think there was anything else. But now look."
Su Xiaoxiao pointed at the picture that she had frozen and then enlarged.
"Look at what he is holding in his hand. Although he deliberately avoided the picture, you can still see that he is holding something other than paper."
"It should be a photo." Qi Lei moved closer to take a closer look.
"Yes, he showed Hu Weiqiang a photo, so later Hu Weiqiang only confessed to things related to himself and said nothing about other things. Although we told him that if he had made significant contributions, it would be beneficial to his sentence, he still didn't say anything.
When Hu Weiqiang saw this, he was shocked. We thought he was shocked because we found evidence, but now we think it’s not because someone has found his weak spot.”
"So, the person in this photo is his weak spot."
"Yes."
"Given Hu Weiqiang's background, he doesn't have a good relationship with his parents, and his family has always used family affection to exploit him, so his weak spot is not his parents, but he is not married and has no children, so what weak spot can he have?" Qi Lei pondered, "There is another possibility, he knows that if he gets married, his family will become a tool for others to control him.
He is already in his forties. A man may not be married, but most of them would like to have a child to carry on his family line. So, he may have secretly had a woman and a child. He thought he protected them well, but he didn't expect that they would be discovered. "
That should be the case, Su Xiaoxiao and Captain Zhai both agreed.
However, they interrogated Chen Hao, but Chen Hao refused to admit it. It seemed that they had to investigate it themselves.
Since the Zhao family could find out, it means that although Hu Weiqiang did it in secret, there are still traces to be found, and they will definitely be able to find it.
Soon, their sights locked on one person.
