Chapter 167 Family History
Although Qi Fei and Ji Wenlangen and Dai Jialang's first meeting did not receive any evidence of Zhou Jiyao's crime, the situation provided by Dai Jialang and Mei Xiangyue's detailed report are still of guiding significance to the entire task force.
At least the situation of Zhou Jiyao's entire family has gradually become a clearer outline, and to a certain extent, the undercover plan of Dai Jialang and Mei Xiangyue has basically been half successful, and the next situation is very worth looking forward to.
Although Qi Fei first discovered Dai Jialang and had the idea of letting him get undercover Zhou Jiyao, because her relationship with Dai Jialang was "bad" in the later period, she finally denied her own ideas.
On the contrary, Ji Wenlan has always been firm in his belief and cleverly arranged Mei Xiangyue as a partner for Dai Jialang through Duan Yifeng, and achieved initial success.
This made Qi Fei feel a little embarrassed. As a core member of the task force, her first competition with Ji Wenlan was at a disadvantage, and she could only find ways to make up for it in other aspects. Fortunately, she was responsible for investigating Zhou Jiyao's family background and background.
On that day, Lu Tao came to the temporary office of the task force to listen to the report. In addition to Liao Mingliang, there was also someone unexpected to everyone.
This person is Duan Yifeng, who had already served as the armed minister in Yunling County. He has now replaced Liao Mingliang as the director of the second branch.
Liao Mingliang was promoted to deputy director in charge of criminal investigation by the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Considering the special relationship between Duan Yifeng, Dai Jialang and Mei Xiangyue, Lu Tao decided to let him participate in some coordination work of the task force.
"I heard that you have already found out all the eight generations of Zhou Jiyao's ancestors, so let's talk about it." Lu Tao lit a cigarette and said.
Qi Fei hurriedly said: "Although we can't say that all the eight generations of ancestors have found out, at least we have figured out the origin of Zhou Jiyao. It's unbelievable. I didn't expect that Zhou Jiyao's grandfather was actually an old revolutionary."
Lu Tao seemed to be worried about this situation the most, frowned and said in surprise: "Old Revolution? Why have I never heard of it? What position has he held?"
Qi Fei seemed to understand what Lu Tao was worried about, shook his head and said, "I have never held any position, but it is indeed an old revolutionary, but he just died very early."
Liao Mingliang was interested and said, "Then let me tell you the specific situation."
Qi Fei opened a small notebook and continued: "Zhou Jiyao's hometown is Zhoujiazhuang in Wudong County, the province. Now it is Zhoujia Town and Linhai. At that time, it was a small fishing village. At that time, the main residents of Zhoujiazhuang were mainly Zhou, Jiang and Shi, among which Zhou had the greatest influence.
Zhou Jiyao's grandfather was named Zhou Shouchang. It is said that he was not only powerful, but also very strategic. He became the pillar of the family when he was very young.
He first married a woman named Jiang as his wife, and gave birth to two sons and a daughter. His life was peaceful, but he didn't expect that the Japanese came. During a storm, Zhou Shouchang died of his wife, while the Shi family died of her husband.
At that time, the village was not very intermarried with the outside world, so the number of women was limited. Zhou Shouchang simply married the widow of the Shi family and gave birth to another son, the father of the Zhou family, named Zhou Haiqing."
Liao Mingliang said: "It sounds quite a bit merciful. So Zhou Jiyao's father not only has two half-brothers and sisters, but also several half-brothers and sisters with the surname Shi?"
Qi Fei nodded and said, "This is the situation. The blood relationship here is even more complicated than we imagined. However, Zhou Shouchang was a bloody man. He joined forces with the historians of the Jiang family to vow to fight against Japan.
In addition, he secretly contacted the anti-Japanese forces in Wudong County and has always been a civilian anti-Japanese force active in coastal areas. In fact, the county annals of Wudong County first recorded the history of coastal fishermen's anti-Japanese war, and Zhou Shouchang was one of the representative figures of modern folk anti-Japanese war."
"So he died at the hands of the Japanese in the end?" Duan Yifeng asked.
Qi Fei shook his head and said, "No, he is very lucky to live until the War of Liberation. However, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the alliance formed by the Zhou and Jiang family historians was split.
Because at that time, the civil anti-Japanese war not only received support from the Kuomintang government, but also from our underground party. In this process, Zhou Shouchang joined the Communist Party, while the Jiang family and the Shi family joined the Kuomintang.
Therefore, their conflicts and disputes began, not only because of the different parties they belong to, but actually more because of the disputes over family interests.
Anyway, in the early days of liberation, after Zhou Shouchang's death, his youngest son, Zhou Jiyao's father, led people to destroy the Jiang family, and then designed to destroy the Jiang family.
At this point, the Zhou family dominated Zhoujia Town. Zhou Jiyao's father Zhou Haiqing married a wife from another place, gave birth to three sons and two daughters, which can be said to be prosperous.
But for some reason, two of the sons died of unlawful death after they became adults, and only the second son Zhou Jiyao and the fourth son Zhou Jizu survived, but Zhou Jizu's whereabouts were unknown later.
According to the recollection of an old man in Zhoujia Town, Zhou Haiqing died in the 1970s, and Zhou Jiyao left Zhoujia Town after his father died. Calculated his age, he should have been only in his teens at that time.
However, his two sisters have been living in Zhoujia Town since their marriage. Since Zhou Jiyao became rich, not only did they live a good life, but even everyone in Zhoujia Town has benefited a lot.
It is said that Zhou Jiyao has invested more than one billion yuan in Zhoujia Town to engage in real estate and tourism. Now Zhoujia Town has become a star town in the province. Zhou Jiyao is regarded as a living Bodhisattva in the local area, so he almost never erected a monument for him."
"So, the Zhou family finally declined in Zhou Haiqing's hands?" Liao Mingliang asked.
Qi Fei said: "Yes, there are very complicated reasons here. The biggest reason is that it was impacted during the Cultural Revolution. Zhou Haiqing made too many enemies, so naturally there were many people who punished him."
"You said Zhou Haiqing's two sons died in a bad life. Could it be that someone was killed?" Duan Yifeng asked.
Qi Fei shook her head and said, "I went to the local public security organs to check the files, but at least I did not file a case. It is said that I have never come back after going to sea. However, Zhou Haiqing seems to have died of alcoholism."
Lu Tao put out the cigarette butts in the ashtray and hesitated: "The Shi family and the Jiang family should have descendants in Zhoujia Town."
Qi Fei smiled and said, "There are many people in Zhoujia Town now with Jiang's surname, but there are not many in Shi. According to the recollection of an old lady, when Zhou Haiqing led people to bloodshed the Shijia, it can be said that blood flowed into a river and almost no living mouth was left.
However, I heard that the descendants of the Shi Family still ran to Taiwan, but the people of the Jiang Family took a compromise. Despite the heavy losses, they did not leave their hometowns."
"So, the Jiang family and the Shi family have a feud with the Zhou family." Lu Tao muttered.
Liao Mingliang said in surprise: "What? Do you think the case that happened in the Zhou family was avenged by the descendants of the Shi family or the Jiang family?"
Lu Tao hesitated: "This possibility is not ruled out. However, Zhou Jiyao's current wife Jiang Biyun doesn't know if it has anything to do with the Jiang family in Zhoujia Town?"
Qi Fei shook her head and said, "Jiang Biyun's household registration shows that she is from the city and has nothing to do with the Jiang family in Zhoujia Town. It should be just a coincidence."
Liao Mingliang interrupted: "In fact, Zhou Jiyao's later trajectory is relatively clear. After he moved to the city, he first made a living by working, and later started to do small businesses and accumulated original capital, and then slowly created his own financial empire."
Duan Yifeng nodded and said, "Although it is not certain whether Zhou Jiyao has violated laws and regulations during the process of starting a business, his main criminal career should be after he becomes successful."
Liao Mingliang nodded and said, "This is for sure. As the money in his hands increases, the greedy nature becomes difficult to control. It is not surprising that he violates the law and discipline and even kills and robs under the influence of interests."
Lu Tao pondered for a while and said, "Although Zhou Jia Town was not where Zhou Jiyao became famous, he had great interests there later. It is not ruled out that there might be a place where he hides dirt.
I think it is necessary for you to thoroughly investigate the various social relationships between Zhou Jiyao's two sisters. Their nephews are also Zhou Jiyao's nephews. However, the senior executives of Zhou Jiyao's company have not heard of any relatives besides his own children."
Duan Yifeng said: "I will handle this matter. If the task force comes to investigate on purpose, it may alarm Zhou Jiyao, and it is more appropriate to understand through other channels."
Lu Tao nodded and asked Ji Wenlan: "How was the investigation of the Wheel of the Round of the Wheel of the Impact that Dai Jialang said? Have you found that woman?"
Ji Wenlan said: "I checked the case file and asked the person who handled the case back then. The victim was named Du Juan, a native of this city. He was twenty-six years old when the case happened. He was an ordinary employee of a bank in this city.
However, she resigned after the incident and her whereabouts are unknown. I once tried to contact her family in the city, but I looked for it according to the address on my ID card and found that the house had already been transferred. In other words, she and her family were missing after the incident.
However, the confession about Du Juan and the testimony of witnesses at that time did not mention Zhou Yubing's name at all.
Obviously, Du Juan should have received a considerable hush money, and with Boss Deng taking the initiative to take all the responsibility, Zhou Yubing naturally escaped the punishment."
"Then do you think it is necessary to find this woman?" Lu Tao asked.
Ji Wenlan hesitated and said, "I think it is necessary to find her. Although this matter cannot be held criminally responsible, I think Du Juan may provide other relevant evidence of Zhou Jiyao's crimes. In addition, we cannot rule out the possibility that she kidnapped Xiaohu or killed Zhou Jianwei in order to retaliate against Zhou Jiyao."
Lu Tao nodded and said, "Since this is the case, let the bureau issue a joint investigation notice to the whole country through the Provincial Public Security Department and find Du Juan as soon as possible."
