Chapter 476 I Really Didn’t Kill Him. If I Can’t, I’ll Refund the Money!

On the projector was a photo of a middle-aged man with a bald head, small eyes, and a long scar on his left eyebrow, lying like a centipede on his face.

fierce!

The first impression that Song Pengfei gives people is that of fierceness.

Just from the appearance, this is a social person.

"Does this person have a criminal record?"

Wu Zhiguo shook his head: "Although this Song Pengfei looks fierce and has a certain social spirit, he has no criminal record. Not only does he have no criminal record, this Song Pengfei is also very clean and loves to do charity."

"According to our investigation, this Song Pengfei donated money to build several schools a few years ago when business was good. Even now that the oil and chemical company's business has plummeted, he still supports these poor college students."

See the school?

There is no record of subsidizing poor college students.

This Song Pengfei is still a good person.

Wu Zhiguo stepped forward and pointed to Song Pengfei's photo: "The scar on his left eyebrow was actually not cut, but was done deliberately in the plastic surgery hospital."

Chen Yan and others were completely confused now.

A scar you made yourself?

Why?

Just to look fierce?

An hour later, Li Baotong and Song Pengfei had been summoned to the Third Detective Team.

"I suspect it was Song Pengfei who did it!"

Li Baotong knew that Zhang Baoquan was dead and insisted that it was Song Pengfei who did it.

"Do you have such evidence?"

"evidence?"

Li Baotong sneered: "Our acquisition contract is the evidence!"

"According to the contract between Zhang Baoquan and I for the acquisition of the oil and chemical company, 60% of the down payment will be paid, and Song Pengfei will cooperate with us in changing the legal procedures."

"Two weeks ago, we just paid the down payment, and we were supposed to go through the transfer process at that time."

"As a result, Song Pengfei delayed us for more than a week on the grounds that the elderly man at home was seriously ill. He only went through the procedures five days ago."

"According to the procedure, the three of us had to go to the relevant location today to go through the final step of the change procedure. As a result, Zhang Baoquan died early yesterday morning."

"According to the contract, Zhang Baoquan's death is a force majeure factor, so the contract does not need to be executed, and the 6 million in our down payment was swallowed up by him."

"You tell me, if he didn't do it, who else could have done it?"

"Also, you may not know that Song Pengfei has worked in a car repair shop a long time ago. It is definitely a piece of cake to cause an accident to Zhang Baoquan's car without anyone noticing."

Li Baotong's inference is actually logical.

Chen Yan has already seen this acquisition contract.

I have relatively little exposure to contract law statements, but I still understand the basic common sense.

Judging from the asset valuation of Song Pengfei's oil and chemical company, it is not worth 10 million at all.

Just a small yard and a few refueling guns, how much can they cost?

The key is the company's oil business license.

This is what Li Baotong and Zhang Baoquan are interested in. It is very difficult to issue such a license.

Currently, it is in a state of stopping distribution.

Anyone who wants to get involved in the oil business can only purchase an existing license.

As long as he has this license and Li Bao's relationship with the petrochemical company he worked for before, this oil and chemical company will be a hen that can lay golden eggs in the future.

Precisely because they were optimistic about the profit-making prospects of this oil and chemical company, Zhang Baoquan and Li Baotong formed a partnership, each investing 5 million to acquire the oil and chemical company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.

But this contract does have some problems in Chen Yan's opinion.

Because it has a bit of a gambling meaning in it.

There are two clauses in the contract, which provide a relatively clear agreement between the buyer and the seller.

First, both the buyer and the buyer have the right to terminate the contract due to force majeure.

What are force majeure factors?

Earthquakes, tsunamis, deaths and other factors are force majeure.

Second, both parties must complete the contract within one month. The specific content is that Li Baotong and Zhang Baoquan must complete the payment within one month according to the ratio of 622, and Song Pengfei must cooperate with Li Baotong and Zhang Baoquan with a down payment of 60% of the total payment. Completed legal person change.

The key is within the one-month deadline.

If the contract can be performed on time without any accidents, this one-month period will be beneficial to both parties.

For Li Baotong and Zhang Baoquan, the one-month period can ensure that after they make payment, Song Pengfei can cooperate with them to complete the transfer procedures for changing legal persons.

For Song Pengfei, it can also guarantee that he will get all the acquisition money within one month.

But the premise of all this is that there are no surprises.

But in fact, Zhang Baoquan died, causing a de facto accident.

In this case, the performance of the contract would be unfair to Li Baotong.

First, according to the contract, Zhang Baoquan's death was a force majeure factor, so Song Pengfei had no need to perform the contract.

The legal person change procedure does not need to be carried out.

Since then, the initial investment of 6 million by Li Baoguo and Zhang Baoquan has naturally been wasted.

Because the 6 million is part of the fulfilled contract, Song Pengfei has the right to terminate the contract if force majeure suddenly occurs.

He can return the 6 million or not.

Based on the above factors, Li Baotong's inference that Zhang Baoquan was killed by Song Pengfei is naturally in line with his logic.

But the key point is that Li Baotong only has inferences and no evidence.

When handling a case, you must pay attention to evidence!

In another interrogation room, the bald and scarred Song Pengfei was also being interrogated.

At this moment, Song Pengfei had a wry smile on his face, and the scar on his face looked increasingly horrifying.

"Comrade police, I really didn't kill Zhang Baoquan. He had no grievance against me. Why should I kill him?"

"He has no grievances against you, but you have a contract to acquire an oil and chemical company."

Wu Zhiguo interrogated Song Pengfei: "The death of Zhang Baoquan will make it impossible to perform your contract. You have every reason not to return the 6 million acquisition money he and Li Baotong invested in the early stage as stipulated in the contract."

"Zhang Baoquan's death has a major interest in you. Judging from the current clues, the interest between you is even the greatest."

"Zhang Baoquan's death has made you the biggest beneficiary, Song Pengfei..."

"Tell me, if you were a police officer, would you doubt yourself?"

Song Pengfei: "...I..."

To be honest, when Song Pengfei learned that Zhang Baoquan was dead, his heart almost skipped a beat.

That's 6 million, not 600 yuan!

After Zhang Baoquan died, Song Pengfei could reasonably and legally take the 6 million as his own without paying any price.

However, now he is suspected of murder...

Song Pengfei was stunned.

"Captain Wu, although I, Song Pengfei, like money, the money I earn is clean."

"Let's just talk about the oil and chemical company I want to sell. I have an oil business license in my hand. This is a hen that can lay golden eggs, but do you know why I want to sell it?"

"There is no other way. I also want to run the company well before I go there, but because I have offended people in the past two years, more than a dozen departments come to inspect it every day."

"Today, the business will be closed if the hygiene standards are not up to standard, and tomorrow if the fire protection standards are not up to standard, the business will be closed. The day after tomorrow, they will say that I sell oil to motorcycles and fail to register them, so I will also be asked to close the business."

"If I really had the guts to kill someone, I would kill that person directly. If everything is not solved, would I cheat Zhang Baoquan and Li Baotong?"

"And look at the scar on my face. It was not cut by anyone else. It was done by myself at the plastic surgery hospital. There is nothing I can do about it. If I have this, people will be afraid of me. Without it, they will bully me."

"And didn't you say that I was the biggest beneficiary of Zhang Baoquan's death? In this way, I refunded the money to them, and I pretended that I never signed the contract."

"I don't want the money anymore. Then Zhang Baoquan's death will have nothing to do with me, right?"

"By the way, Captain Wu, that money...my father is seriously ill. I spent 300,000 last week, and I can't make up for it for the time being."

"But don't worry, I will definitely make up for the 300,000 yuan within a month, and I will never owe Li Baotong and Zhang Baoquan's family a penny!"

The interrogation of Li Baotong and Song Pengfei came to an end.

In the conference room, a case analysis meeting is being held.

Wu Zhiguo is making an overall situation report.

"The whereabouts of Li Baotong and Song Pengfei early yesterday morning have basically been determined."

Li Baotong was at home all the time on the night of the crime and the early morning of the next day. His wife and daughter can testify.

We have also retrieved the video from the community. After Li Baotong drove home the night before yesterday, he did not go out again until about 7 o'clock yesterday morning.

Song Pengfei has been in the First People's Hospital in the past few days. His father is indeed seriously ill and hospitalized, and Song Pengfei has been accompanying him these days.

The nurse at the hospital was able to prove that Song Pengfei did not leave the hospital early yesterday morning.

Chen Yan, who had his arms crossed, frowned and stared at the character relationship diagram on the blackboard.

From the incident to the present, it can be said that the investigation of the case has progressed very quickly.

Wu Zhiguo, Liu Qingshan, Zhang Chaoyang and others are quickly sorting out their work around the stakeholders after Zhang Baoquan's death, and have made great progress.

The first is Zhang Baoquan’s second wife Wang Yue.

It has now been determined that the airbag system on the car involved in the accident was tampered with by Wang Yue.

Wang Yue also admitted that she broke the pin on the safety pin of the full airbag and confessed that she planned to damage the brake system of the BMW car.

There is also the personal accidental death insurance that Wang Yue purchased for Zhang Baoquan one month in advance, which is evidence that Wang Yue planned Zhang Baoquan's accidental death.

However, Wang Yue did not admit that she was the one who took Zhang Baoquan's body to the pig farm and crushed it after the accident.

Therefore, there is doubt whether Zhang Baoquan's death was caused by the airbag not working.

Because the body had been crushed, there was no way to conduct an autopsy, and the specific cause of Zhang Baoquan's death could not be found.

According to the analysis of the situation at the scene, Zhang Baoquan did not brake the vehicle at all before the accident.

Moreover, the speed of the car at that time was as high as 96 kilometers per hour, which is definitely abnormal.

Therefore, it is hard to say whether Zhang Baoquan was dead or unconscious before the car accident.

In addition to Wang Yue, there are also Guo Kai, Zhou Tao and Ma Xiaoning who play cards with Zhang Baoquan.

The three of them left the Juyou chess and card room that night. Among them, Guo Kai, Zhou Tao and Zhang Baoquan were driving in the same direction. After leaving the Juyou chess and card room, they took Intersection 98 and entered Beijiao Huancheng Road.

The time when the two vehicles appeared at speed camera No. 98 and speed camera No. 99 is consistent with normal driving time.

From this point of view, the two people did not have time to commit the crime of Zhang Baoquan's death.

The other is Ma Xiaoning.

There are two routes for Ma Xiaoning to go home. One is to enter the northern suburbs ring road at intersection 98, then turn right at the T-junction where Zhang Baoquan's car accident occurred and enter National Highway 212, returning to his mother's home.

The other way is to take a shortcut and drive directly onto National Highway 212 without passing through the northern suburbs ring road, and then return to his mother's house.

In the early morning of that day, Ma Xiaoning chose the second road, and this road did not intersect with Zhang Baoquan.

Therefore, Ma Xiaoning did not have time to commit the crime.

So who delayed Zhang Baoquan for 14 minutes between passing the No. 98 speed camera and arriving at the T-intersection?

The more than 90,000 yuan Zhang Baoquan won while playing cards also disappeared.

The investigators conducted a detailed inspection of the BMW where the accident occurred and found no 100,000 yuan won by Zhang Baoquan.

According to Guo Kai and others, the four of them used poker card counting to measure the amount of money won and lost when playing cards in the Juyou chess and card room.

The main reason is that gambling is prohibited in the chess and card room, and money cannot be used directly as chips.

The four people used playing cards to count. After leaving the Juyou chess and card room, the four people settled the money in the car before dispersing.

That night, Zhang Baoquan won probably less than 100,000 yuan, but more than 90,000 yuan.

However, the on-site investigator did not find the more than 90,000 yuan in the car.

Where did the money go?

In addition to Wang Yue, Guo Kai, Zhou Tao and Ma Xiaoning, those who have recently had an interest relationship with Zhang Baoquan are Li Baotong and Song Pengfei.

First of all, Li Baotong’s suspicion can basically be ruled out. Li Baotong and Zhang Baoquan partnered to acquire Song Pengfei’s oil and chemical company. The two of them were grasshoppers on the same rope.

It can be said that the biggest victim of Zhang Baoquan's death was Li Baotong.

Not only could the acquisition contract between them and Song Pengfei not be completed, Li Baotong might also lose all his money, and the three million he invested in the early stage might not be recovered.

And according to the current investigation results, Li Baotong and Zhang Baoquan grew up together since childhood and have always had a very good relationship.

They have no financial dealings with each other, and this is the first time they have entered into a business partnership.

Therefore, the possibility that Li Baotong killed Zhang Baoquan because of trivial matters is relatively small.

In terms of motive for committing the crime, Li Baotong was the one with the least motive to kill Zhang Baoquan among all the people.

The last person was Song Pengfei, who on the surface seemed to be the biggest beneficiary after Zhang Baoquan's death.

Purely from the perspective of profit and motive for committing the crime, the possibility of Song Pengfei killing Zhang Baoquan is very high, because after Zhang Baoquan's death, he was able to get 6 million without paying any price.

During the interrogation process, Song Pengfei denied that he had killed Zhang Baoquan, and was even willing to return the 6 million the way he came from in order to prove his innocence.

It’s just that 300,000 of them need to be turned over in one month.

This is strange.

The greatest possibility that Song Pengfei killed Zhang Baoquan came from these 6 million. If he was willing to give up 6 million, then his motive for killing Zhang Baoquan would be gone. So from this aspect, Song Mengfei could not be the murderer.

Moreover, neither Li Baotong nor Song Pengfei had time to commit the crime.

All clues have basically been investigated, but all possibilities have been basically rejected.

The investigation of the case has reached a deadlock.

what to do?

Which direction should we investigate next?

Are there any missing clues?

Judging from Chen Yan's experience in investigating more than 30 major cases in the past two years, unclear clues are not a big problem.

Although some clues are small, they may be ignored, but as long as you persist, one day you will sort them out.

Many of the answers are actually small and inconspicuous clues that ultimately led Chen Yan to find the real murderer.

The biggest problem in investigating a case is that all the clues have been discovered, and then all the clues have been sorted out, but the real culprit has still not been found. That is the biggest problem.

What to do at this time is the most testing thing.

And at this time, don’t panic.

Now that all the clues have been analyzed and sorted out, let's find new clues.

There is basically nothing to see on the vehicle side. The entire vehicle has now been disassembled cleanly, and every component in the vehicle has been inspected in detail.

So, now we have to go back to the crime scene.

"Team Wu, arrange a car to take me to the scene!"

Wu Zhiguo did not question it. Although there was nothing at the scene, since Chen Yan wanted to go, there must be a reason to go.

He just has to do his job.

"Go to the Juyou chess and card room first."

"yes!"

The parking lot outside the Juyou chess and card room.

Chen Yan already knew the parking space for four cars.

Now, what he has to do is to start from here and walk the same path that Zhang Baoquan walked yesterday morning.

Since Zhang Baoquan could not be found, why did it take 14 minutes to pass the No. 98 speed camera yesterday morning before arriving at the T-junction where the accident occurred.

Then Chen Yan will go through it himself!
