Qinzhou City's Criminal Investigation Team.
With the identification of the skeletal remains, many other things became easier to handle.
Qin Hui hasn't slept for two days, his eyes bloodshot, looking quite like a rabbit from exhaustion.
Once the identities of the seven skeletons began to be confirmed one by one, there was more progress in the case investigation.
First were the remains of three workers from the Minghe Bridge construction site at that time.
"The deaths of these three people are definitely suspicious. Back then, they were working on the Minghe Bridge construction site, and suddenly disappeared without anyone investigating."
"It's as if these three people never existed in the first place, which is definitely not normal."
"Also, I checked these three people's bank accounts and their family situations."
"Fifteen years ago, the total amount of money in the three people's bank accounts did not exceed five thousand yuan."
"Moreover, the accounts of these three people were never closed."
"I checked into the family situations of these three people."
"Apart from the one who left home early, the parents, wives, and children of the other two who stayed in the village are living well."
"According to information from the local police station, these two families built houses 15 years ago."
"Here is the investigation data."
Several leaders of the Qinzhou Criminal Investigation Team led teams to follow different leads.
Vice Captain Chen Yong's investigation line saw a major breakthrough.
The data investigation was relatively detailed.
"According to the two families, they received news back then that the two were working at a coal mine and died due to a safety accident."
"Someone came to them back then and gave them money, so no one pursued it further, nor was a report made."
Qin Hui read through the investigation data carefully while listening to Chen Yong's report.
After a moment, Qin Hui put down the files and looked at Li Donglin.
"Director Li, what's your opinion?"
Li Donglin had also been stationed at the Qinzhou City's Criminal Investigation Team these past few days.
But he hadn't interfered too much in Qin Hui's handling of the case.
This case occurred in Qinzhou City, at the Minghe Bridge construction site fifteen years ago.
The problem definitely involved more than just one or two people.
The possibility of the three workers being killed due to revenge or interests is low.
Moreover, based on the position of the bones found in the bridge pier, the three workers and another unidentified person were successively encased; the workers' bones were above the other's.
This indicates that from the perspective of concreting time, the three workers were entombed later.
So, Li Donglin believes there is a high possibility they were silenced.
"What's the progress on the investigation of that drone engineer, Wang Xiaobo?"
"There are some findings."
The detective in charge of Wang Xiaobo's lead stood up to report.
"After confirming Wang Xiaobo's identity, we conducted a rather detailed investigation into his interpersonal relationships and the company he worked for at that time."
"The result was the discovery that there are some issues with the company Wang Xiaobo worked for."
The projection switched to some investigation records.
"The company Wang Xiaobo worked for was established 17 years ago, and Wang Xiaobo was a founding member from its inception as a senior engineer."
"The company is not large in scale but generates very high marketing revenue. Last night, we inspected the company and discovered some remarkable things."
The projection switched to some customer data.
"We found these audio and video files on the company's cloud server."
Then, the vice-captain of the Criminal Investigation Team, Zhang Hao, clicked the mouse to play one of the videos.
The video was rather blurry, possibly due to the distance.
However, the content shot can still be clearly seen, and roughly identifying the two people in the video is also possible.
"Zhang Wanjun?"
Qin Hui exclaimed in surprise, evidently recognizing someone in the video.
Zhang Hao nodded, surveying the surroundings: "Captain Qin, it is indeed Zhang Wanjun."
Seeing Li Donglin's puzzled expression, Qin Hui quickly explained: "Zhang Wanjun is a famous private entrepreneur in Qinzhou City. Years ago, he gained a higher status and is very well-known in Qinzhou City."
"Has the other person in the video been identified?"
In the video, Zhang Wanjun and a man are seated across a round table, with Zhang Wanjun pushing a pile of cash towards the man.
Judging from the size of the cash pile, it's likely no less than a million.
Zhang Hao nodded: "We found out; the video captures a scene from three years ago, and the other person in the video is named Chen Yu."
"Chen Yu? Who is he?"
Qin Hui had no impression of this person.
Normally, someone worth a price like Zhang Wanjun paid shouldn't be so unknown.
"This Chen Yu is merely a shell company owner, but his brother-in-law is impressive — High-tech Zone's head of infrastructure, Sun Miao."
So it's him!
"How many similar videos are there at this company?"
"Quite a few; the entire company has now been secretly sealed by us, and the people inside have been arrested and are currently being interrogated."
"From the current interrogation situation, this company is not a tech intelligence company at all; calling it a spy company is more fitting."
Zhang Hao continued explaining: "Under the guise of developing smart drones, this company was actually engaging in surveillance activities."
"They have specialized personnel accepting orders through some overseas websites, specifically targeting individuals to be monitored; Zhang Wanjun was their target from five years ago."
"And Wang Xiaobo's death was because some of the people they monitored back then knew certain things."
Zhang Hao's findings are very significant.
Wang Xiaobo's death was because he privately took on extra work, using company equipment to monitor a significant figure.
"And this person was the CEO of the company that won the Minghe Bridge project bid back then, Chen Xiaomin."
"A colleague of Wang Xiaobo watched some of the videos he recorded back then."
"Engaging in private work inside their company was not uncommon."
"Some people would use these recorded videos to threaten others."
Li Donglin also understood Zhang Hao's meaning: "Wang Xiaobo… had bad luck?"
Zhang Hao nodded: "The interrogation isn't over yet, but once it concludes, I believe the truth will emerge."
On the third day after the case broke, the entire case's context became very clear.
The other unidentified skeletal remains also became increasingly clear as the case progressed.
It can be confirmed that the unidentified deceased were all hired by Wang Xiaobo.
After being captured, Chen Xiaomin confessed everything, the causes, and the consequences.
"Wang Xiaobo was an addict; he used psychiatric drugs for a long time, and what the hospital gave him wasn't enough, so he spent money to buy more."
As a result, Wang Xiaobo monitored Chen Xiaomin using the company's equipment. After getting evidence of his bribery, he blackmailed Chen Xiaomin.
"He demanded I give him 100,000 each month. Initially, I could afford it, but later, he asked for 300,000, 500,000, even millions!"
"I had no choice, so I arranged for someone to entomb them in the bridge piers under the guise of delivering money in a transaction."
"What about the three workers?"
"If I didn't kill them, I feared the matter would be exposed..."
Chen Xiaomin was also a ruthless figure.
The killers were his long-term thugs; after coercively interrogating Wang Xiaobo and others to find all the backup videos, they entombed these people in the bridge piers.
Until fifteen years later, today.
