Chapter 1105: Chapter 1036: A Breakthrough in a Day

Ma Jiyang climbed into his beloved Great Wall Cannon, leading the Changyang City Criminal Police Brigade, splitting into three teams. He personally chose Caojiadu, the location where victim Yu Mingguo’s phone signal had disappeared.

Ma Jiyang got into the car and then called Yu Wenshu to report.

Yu Wenshu had already reviewed the information and, after a brief recall, said, “The company in Caojiadu is called Xinji Seasoning Products Co., Ltd., right? The company’s actual controller is Zhong Zongqiang? He is definitely the most suspicious individual.”

“Yes. Zhong Zongqiang previously supplied goods to Yu Mingguo’s Xiang Cuisine Restaurant and bakery. Later, due to Yu Mingguo’s financial difficulties, he repeatedly defaulted on payments and accrued credit. In the end, when Yu Mingguo tried to use alcohol to settle the debt, the two had a huge argument,” Ma Jiyang explained, knowing Chief Yu enjoyed this type of detailed confirmation, even though both were already aware of the situation.

Yu Wenshu, indeed satisfied, responded with an “Hmm” and continued, “If Zhong Zongqiang is the killer, then this case becomes straightforward.”

“Yes. All suspects in this case are ordinary businessmen. Based on Jiang Yuan’s analysis of the cause of death, there’s a high probability of a crime of passion. Identifying the temporal and spatial intersection points should be significant,” Ma Jiyang, a top performer in the Changyang City Criminal Police Brigade, felt confident, having handled many similar cases before.

“The key is to obtain the evidence, which is also what Jiang Yuan and the Taihe Working Group need most,” Yu Wenshu reminded him and added, “With leaders from the provincial department and multiple municipal bureaus here in Ningtai County, the case must be handled impeccably; the evidence and procedures need to be rigorous.”

“Understood,” Ma Jiyang responded immediately.

“Jiang Yuan determined the victim’s time of death to be 15 to 18 days ago, yet his phone has been off for 21 days. You need to investigate thoroughly what happened during that time,” Yu Wenshu paused and then continued, “Verify if the identified time of death aligns. If there seems to be any discrepancy, call me immediately.”

While Yu Wenshu’s words were somewhat cryptic, to Ma Jiyang, they felt excessively direct.
