Chapter 251 The Truth
The news Zheng Ming brought was absolutely explosive.
Lu He stared at the documents in disbelief, occasionally letting out a gasp of astonishment.
Wu Chunfang must have been killed by Zhao Jiacheng; this is incredibly shocking.
Zhang Dian did indeed abscond with a large sum of money, and encountered Wu Chunfang while being pursued by Zhao Jiacheng.
Wu Chunfang did grab Zhang Dian's backpack. Desperate to escape, Zhang Dian made a clean getaway, taking off his coat and backpack along with his clothes.
Zhao Jiacheng, who arrived later, saw Wu Chunfang lying on the ground and her backpack, which was full of bundles of money, and immediately had a wicked thought.
He killed Wu Chunfang, took the money, and left the town.
While Zhao Jiacheng is indeed a policeman, the police station in this small town was not formalized twenty or thirty years ago; it was a civilian police station spontaneously organized by the townspeople.
Later, the government established a real police station in the town and incorporated the previous village police officers into the police force.
That's how Zhao Jiacheng managed to stay a policeman.
According to the testimony of Zhao Jiacheng's younger brother that Zheng Ming found, Zhao Jiacheng had no children. Shen Tong was not Zhao Jiacheng's biological daughter. He and Shen Tong's mother, Shen Lingxiang, were in a blended family. Shen Tong was the daughter of Shen Lingxiang's ex-husband.
Because he had no ties to his family, Zhao Jiacheng dared to abandon his already strained family ties and run away with the money.
"Could it be that Zhao Jiacheng has always been mean to Shen Tong?" Lu He asked Zheng Ming, her mind already filled with numerous cases of stepfathers abusing their stepdaughters.
"I don't know. All I know is that Shen Tong is determined to find this father... Could it be that he wants to find him so he can take revenge?" Zheng Ming was also startled by the wild idea that had come to him.
“Oh, right, this Zhao Jiacheng isn’t a native of this town,” Zheng Ming seemed to recall an important piece of information: “He came to this town to work when he was a teenager.”
"Working in a town?" Lu He sensed something was amiss. "Is he from a poor mountain village? If not, that's strange. People usually go to big cities to work, not remote towns. Maybe he committed a crime and fled to a remote town..."
Zheng Ming nodded, agreeing with Lu He's analysis, which made a lot of sense.
"How did Zhao Jiacheng get involved with Zhang Xiuru?" Zhang Xiuru's background is completely unclear. The three men currently associated with Zhang Xiuru are Han Xi's father, Zhang Dian, and Zhao Jiacheng.
"I'm afraid we need to catch Zhao Jiacheng to connect the whole story," Zheng Ming said, scratching his head. "Zhang Xiuru can't possibly have romantic relationships with all three men, can she?"
That's true. Zhang Xiuru is only around thirty years old, and she wasn't very old when Zhao Jiacheng killed Wu Chunfang. But if she wasn't an old acquaintance of Zhao Jiacheng, how could she have obtained Wu Chunfang's identity so quickly and impersonated her?
As for Zhang Dian, he only met Zhang Xiuru after escaping the town, so Zhao Jiacheng must have known Zhang Xiuru much earlier.
“Another crucial point is that Zhang Dian didn’t know that Zhao Jiacheng was also in contact with Zhang Xiuru. Shen Tong and I interrogated him, and his bewildered expression didn’t seem like an act,” Zheng Ming added again.
"Moreover, Zhang Xiuru has not been detained because of the Han family's protection. We can't start with Zhang Xiuru, so we can only try to catch Zhao Jiacheng and start with him."
When Zheng Ming said this, he carefully rubbed his nose, afraid of offending Han Xi, the eldest daughter of the Han family.
Lu He immediately remembered that her current identity was Han Xi, and almost forgot how powerful the Han family was in F City.
"No, why is Dad protecting this vicious murderer! This woman poisoned his ex-wife!" Lu He was utterly bewildered, wondering what Han's father was up to.
Perhaps it's time to go back and talk to Han's father. Lu He overlooked the advantage of being a daughter and talking to her father, because moving out gave Zhang Xiuru an opportunity to cling to Han's father.
No matter how much they planned, they never expected that this old man would be so blinded by lust and be completely infatuated.
"I'm going back to confront my father right now!" Lu He slammed his fist on the table in anger, wishing he could fly home immediately and give his father a good scolding.
