The smile on Ma Haiqiang's face stopped suddenly, as if time had frozen.

"He's dead? How is that possible? Isn't it just a herniated disc in the waist?" Ma Haiqiang was very excited, "Isn't it because the old man in the family is gone? Well, why is he gone too?"

"I don't know the specific reason. The cause of death is still under investigation." Lin Yi glanced at Ma Haiqiang:

"You seem to know him very well?"

"I must understand, we have known each other for more than 40 years."

Ma Haiqiang sighed, looking a little frustrated.

You can even see some redness in your eyes.

"Have we known each other for more than forty years?"

This news surprised both of them.

According to their guess, Ma Haiqiang opened a small fertilizer factory in Xiangyang Village, and Fang Daye was the village chief before. There must be some intrigue and interactions between the two.

This can be judged from the old lady's words. If there is no relationship, it is impossible to eat fox meat together.

But Ma Haiqiang said that the two have known each other for more than 40 years, so this is very surprising.

"Tell me what happened and how you two met."

"We were originally fellow villagers. We lived in a place called Jindou Village below Jinling. We both grew up in the same village. Now that we realize that we have been together for more than 40 years, we have grown up wearing the same pair of pants."

"Then why did you come to Zhonghai?"

"When I was young, my family was poor, and we didn't study well, so we stopped studying in junior high school. When we were eighteen or nineteen years old, we were still idle, so we thought about going out to make a living."

"At this time, their relatives in Xiangyang Village introduced him to his current wife, Zhang Xuemei, and that's how they got to know each other."

"According to what you said, he came to the Zhang family and stayed here, right? But his son has the same surname as him, so it doesn't look like he stepped in on the other side."

"Definitely not." Ma Haiqiang said:

"After the two of them met, they went to work in Zhonghai for more than 30 years. This is a good place. There is no such rich place in the country. But neither of them is a business material. After more than a year of working outside, they got the job.

I lost all my more than 2,000 yuan, so I had no choice but to go home and farm."

"But at that time, Xiangyang Village was much wealthier than Jindou Village, so the two of them decided to return here. That was the general situation."

"Don't just talk about him, let's talk about you." Gu Yiran said:

"The couple came to work in Zhonghai. You were an adult at that time. What did you do then? Have you been staying in the village?"

"That's not true. They went to Zhonghai, and I went to Northeast China. I had relatives there, so I went to join them."

"Then, did life take a turn for the better?"

"I was a little luckier than him. I had a good time and made a lot of money." Ma Haiqiang said with emotion:

"But I am a person who does everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling. Although I earn a lot, I also spend a lot. In addition, with the decline of the Northeast over the years, my business is getting worse and worse. At this time I heard,

Fang Daye became the village chief of Xiangyang Village, and he also had the idea of ​​attracting investment. Then the two of us hit it off immediately. I sold my property, brought the money back to the village, and opened a small fertilizer factory. These years have passed.

It’s pretty good.”

Gu Yiran looked at Ma Haiqiang.

"In the past few years since you opened the fertilizer factory, Fang Daye must have taken advantage of his position to provide you with conveniences."

"How do you say this?" Ma Haiqiang paused, "It's impossible to do business these days without help."

"Please answer the key points, don't avoid the important ones." Gu Yiran said seriously.

"He did help me a lot, but it was all reasonable and legal. After all, he came here to attract investment, so he had to provide me with some convenience."

"But I have to emphasize to you that Lao Fang is really a good person. He didn't ask me for anything for so many years. I just bought two cars for his family. Then I bought some things and visited his house during the holidays.

There’s not much else.”

"Are the two cars you mentioned the Sagitar driven by his son and the Wuling Hongguang driven by him?"

Ma Haiqiang nodded, "It's not much money in total. It's only 200,000 for two cars."

"Comrade policemen, I see that you are old policemen and sensible people. Everyone understands this tacit understanding. Now that the old policemen are gone, you should stop pursuing this matter."

Gu Yiran glanced at Lin Yi and understood the information in each other's eyes.

I don’t want to pursue Fang Daye’s affairs too much.

In comparison, he is indeed honest.

"Do you have anything else to say about Fang Daye?"

Ma Haiqiang thought for a while, "It seems nothing is wrong. He had a herniated disc in his waist and it healed last year. When we had nothing to do, we would go fishing and play mahjong. He had always lived a cool life. How could he be gone without it?"

.”

"The specific reason is still under investigation. It's up to you. When you go back, be honest and don't think about those crooked ways of doing business. Things are no longer what they used to be. If I catch you again, you know what will happen."

"Yes, yes, I know. I will never dare to do it again. I will apologize to him tomorrow."

"That's it for now."

After the interrogation, the two people came out of the interrogation room and said as they walked:

"There doesn't seem to be anything useful."

Lin Yi thought for a while, "You can't say that. At least it proves that Fang Daye's character is not bad, and the possibility of vendetta is further reduced."

"There are generally two types of murder cases, either homicide or suicide, and judging from the situation at the scene, it is consistent with the characteristics of suicide."

"I don't think suicide is possible."

Gu Yiran looked at Lin Yi with a smile, "According to what you said, it's neither homicide nor suicide. It's just a fox killing someone."

"Haha, maybe it's possible."

"Okay, it's getting late. Let's leave. If we have anything to do, we can talk about it tomorrow. I'm going to be sleepy to death."

Lin Yi also yawned, and the two of them walked out of the branch together and drove home.

By the time I got home, it was almost eleven o'clock.

They found that the old couple had already fallen asleep, but Ji Qingyan was still playing with her mobile phone on the sofa.

"What time is it, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

"you are back."

Seeing Lin Yi, Ji Qingyan stood up and came over, "I was looking at the child's things and wanted to wait until I felt sleepy before going to bed, but you came back before I felt sleepy."

"Stop, stop, stop, stay away from me."

Ji Qingyan froze on the spot, "What are you doing?"

"Don't mention it. We encountered a murder case today. The deceased died in a coffin. I'm going to take a bath first to get rid of any bad luck. Don't let it get to you two."

Hearing this, Ji Qingyan chuckled.
