Chapter 29 (1/2)
In the wake of an increase in Central Authorities unceasing crackdown on illegal activities, no one in entire China could come out in open and say that they are running a gang.
But since there are rules then naturally there would be countermeasures to deal with these rules. Thing like gang and factions can never be wiped out of the society. Now the person who runs a gang would also have an upright and frank honorable ident.i.ty in public, for example, Baoquan Company, Chaiqian Company, Daikuan company and so on, in short, names which are pleasing to listen in public. Under these kinds of names, they are also allowed to gather their troops, well, of course, their ident.i.ty in the public would be that of a company's employee. But even with this all, they still the have same old gang culture and rules inside the company.
Jiang Yuan city was one of the biggest economic markets in the South China region and one can not say that the whole Jiang Yuan city's underground world as well as the whole Jiang Yuan city, was the domain of a single person, Xia Jiang. It was just that Xia Jiang was Jiang Yuan city most powerful person and a good deal of small gang leader's were his subordinates, like this Bao Ruifeng who was standing in front of him right now.
Naturally, Xia Jiang relations.h.i.+p and power was also strongest compared to others. For Xia Jiang, there was no difference between these small gang leaders and his subordinates. If one talk about the area outside the Jiang Yuan city then the majority of the gangs in the South China geographical region was at least as strong as the gang of Xia Jiang. These gangs would contest with each other for the domain to expand their industries and behind these gangs also had the protective umbrella of someone very powerful. But right now there is no need to say much about these.
Military training was as usually being carried out inside the Jiang Yuan University. Right now it was just short of noon and suddenly a news came from outside the campus.
One of the four princes of University, Chen Weichang was killed!
This news swept the whole university like a storm and no one was able to digest, that the person who was healthy and active just a few days ago, was actually killed last night by someone in his own suite.
As for the killer who had killed Chen Weichang, he was still not under the grasp of the law. Everyone was speculating the ident.i.ty of the killer, some said it must be someone whom Chen Weichang have bullied in the past, some said it must be the work of Chen Weichang's father's enemy. Well, the most terrible rumor to pa.s.s on the campus was, Chen Weichang is killed by his rival in love Xu Taiping.
No one knew from where this rumor started to circulate, but many newly enrolled students had already seen on the first day of their university that how menacing Chen Weichang was toward Xu Taiping, moreover they also heard, that how next day Xu Taiping had almost hit to throw Chen Weichang out of the Security Guard Room.
Since these all things were witnessed by a lot of persons, therefore Xu Taiping was the most suspicious person in this murder case. That's why in the afternoon many police officers entered the university to carry off Xu Taiping, which also acted like a sort of confirmation for the rumor circulating inside the university.
This was the second time Xu Taiping was carried to the Police station, first time was because of that small health care incident and this time because of Chen Weichang.
This matter really exposes a simple law of the world i.e Law of Homicide. We all know that a small region has small Police department, big region have big police department, furthermore international boundaries have Interpol but what we don't know is, A killer does not only need to be capable of killing his enemy, but he also needs to be well versed in able to hide from every small and large police force chasing after him.
The trouble of these matters easily outcla.s.ses the trouble of killing a person.
That was the reason why Xu Taiping never killed a person under impulsion because it might have exposed his ident.i.ty as killer in front of police force and if his ident.i.ty as killer ever got exposed in front of police, then only choice he was going to have would be to conceal his ident.i.ty to go to the mountain to live his remaining life in the forest.
After all, even if you had used modern science and technology to change your face, there was already enough advancement in technology that they could easily restore your original appearance. What one read in a fiction novel about those kinds of people who were capable of evading retribution after killing someone in public place with numerous people, those were just utter c.r.a.ps.
To carry out a murder a.s.signment one needed to follow many complicated steps, number one 'Investigate', number two 'disguise', number three 'approaching the target', number four 'hit to kill', number five 'eliminate your traces', number six to go into hiding', number seven 'flee to distance', number eight 'to deal with the aftermath'. One must carry out each of these steps flawlessly, then only one could be qualified enough to become a killer. Those type of frequent cases where someone killed someone on the street, these people had either left there brains inside a freezer at home to keep it fresh or either they are a dim-witted mercenary or they were those who had never gone through any training and were totally newbie.
Using the alias of Blood Wolf, Xu Taiping had left behind many criminal records in all over the world, but till now not a single police officer was able to find his real ident.i.ty. This was the main reason why Xu Taiping was still safe and sound and was such openly fooling around in all over China.
Xu Taiping was summoned inside the police department in the name of providing a.s.sistance for the investigation. Since he had some sort of enmity with Chen Weichang, therefore it was concluded that he had some sort of motive for homicide and there was a chance that he might be the killer.
But homicide motive can never be a princ.i.p.al element to conclude a judgment, there must be some sort of evidence like the tool used for committing crime or testimony of someone present at the scene and so on. The most crucial point is evidence and Xu Taiping had a lot of these pieces of evidence.
Actually, Jiang Yuan police bureau had also not thought that Xu Taiping would be the killer because according to the oral account of those two subordinates of Chen Weichang who were present on the crime scene, they knew the killer was a woman. However the possibility that Xu Taiping could have hired a killer was not ruled out, therefore after the trial of Xu Taiping, his cell phone, computer and so on things were all seized for investigating.
The police were going to investigate Xu Taiping's recent social connections to determine if Xu Taiping had enough motive and capability to kill a person or not.
Xu Taiping was sitting inside the trial room and also no one knew that was it because of his relation with Su Nianci or what, he was not handcuffed by these police officers. Well, it was also true that only if one had big evidence against him then only he could be considered a murderer, otherwise, it was also improbable to handcuff a suspect.
Inside the trial room, had a huge unidirectional mirror and many people were standing behind that mirror.
”Regardless of he is the killer or not, My son has died because someone has pierced his head with a weapon. Before the real murderer was found out, someone must have to pay the price of my son's death!” A man with very fierce face said while gnas.h.i.+ng his teeth in front of Jiang Yuan police station Bureau Chief Cai Chunsheng.
”We are police officers, not some local ruffians, we do everything based on evidence and in this situation when there is no evidence how can we implement our measure on a suspect?” Cai Chunsheng said with a black face. If it was not for that, this person in front of his eyes was Chen Weichang father Chen Zhiyong, if it was not for that he was a famous real estate bigshot in Jiang Yuan city and if it was not for that he also had very good relations.h.i.+p with city top leaders, then Cai Chunsheng would have already thrown him outside the bureau. The police station is such a solemn place, although I can understand your mood since who died is your son, I can not let you create an unreasonable scene here.
