A speechless night!
Early the next morning, Wang Anguo and others continued to follow up on the case, carefully combing through all the clues for fear of missing anything.
But no one expected that just a few hours later, a shocking news came from the Criminal Investigation Team 2: Zhou Guoyong committed suicide!
It turned out that at nine o'clock in the morning, Li Yuanqing followed Wang Anguo's instructions and took people to the city's third state-owned oil storage station to summon Zhou Guoyong to the team to assist in the investigation.
Zhou Guoyong acted calmly at that time, but asked Li Yuanqing and others to wait for a while. He had some official business to deal with and would go with them later.
Since it was just a summons rather than a compulsory measure, Li Yuanqing and others did not refuse.
As a result, Zhou Guoyong was processing documents in the office, while Li Yuanqing and others were guarding outside.
However, after waiting for almost an hour, no one came out, and I received no answer when I asked questions inside.
They immediately realized something was wrong and broke in to check the situation.
But what they saw after entering the door made them completely dumbfounded.
I saw Zhou Guoyong hanging himself on the beam with a trouser belt, his tongue hanging out as long as he could.
When Li Yuanqing and others managed to free Zhou Guoyong, they found that his body had long been cold.
After receiving Li Yuanqing's report, Wang Anguo immediately issued instructions to immediately block the news and control Zhou Guoyong's wife, parents and brothers.
At the same time, these people were immediately interrogated.
Due to the prompt treatment, Zhou Guoyong's family did not know that he had committed suicide.
So when these people were told that Zhou Guoyong had confessed to the murder of Tan Yuanqiao, they were all stunned!
Subsequently, facing the powerful offensive of the public security organs, Zhou Guoyong's wife was the first to be defeated and confessed the fact of killing Tan Yuanqiao.
At this point, the truth of the confusing case 11 years ago has finally emerged.
According to Zhou Guoyong's wife Yang Qimei, the deceased Tan Yuanqiao was a good friend of Zhou Guoyong and his wife during his lifetime.
Not only because Tan Yuanqiao and Zhou Guoyong grew up together, but more importantly because they have a common hobby - drinking.
Originally, if it were just these, the following things would not happen, but the bad thing is that Tan Yuanqiao doesn't keep his mouth shut when he is drunk, and the bad thing is that Zhou Guoyong also loves gambling in addition to drinking.
11 years ago, Zhou Guoyong was set up in a gambling game and lost more than 2,000 yuan.
In that era of 36 yuan, two thousand yuan could be considered a huge sum of money.
This is equivalent to Zhou Guoyong not eating or drinking for six years!
Zhou Guoyong couldn't afford to offend the person who set up the trap. They threatened that if Zhou Guoyong didn't pay, they would cut off his hands and feet. Zhou Guoyong had no choice but to try his best to borrow money.
However, Zhou Guoyong could not get such a large sum of money together even if he borrowed it from all his relatives.
In desperation, they could only turn to their friend Tan Yuanqiao.
While they were drinking, they inadvertently got the news from the drunk Tan Yuanqiao that he had to go to the bank to withdraw wages for the workers on the 15th of every month, and each time he had to withdraw tens of thousands of yuan.
Ever since, Zhou Guoyong decided to rob the money and pay off his gambling debts!
On the day of the incident, Zhou Guoyong came early to squat outside the bank where Tan Yuanqiao often withdraws money.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, when he saw Tan Yuanqiao arriving as promised, he immediately started planning.
After seeing Tan Yuanqiao withdrawing money from the bank, Zhou Guoyong stepped forward and pretended to meet Tan Yuanqiao by chance. Then he said that the water pipe at home was broken and hoped that he could help him repair it.
Tan Yuanqiao was a helpful person, so he didn't worry much when he heard this. After all, he had been friends for so many years, so he followed Zhou Guoyong to his home out of trust.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the door, Zhou Guoyong picked up an ax and hit Tan Yuanqiao to death from behind.
After the murder, Zhou Guoyong couldn't wait to steal Tan Yuanqiao's money and then began to dispose of the body.
In order not to be discovered, they put Tan Yuanqiao's body into prepared oil drums and sealed them with cement.
Then, taking advantage of the convenience of work, he took the large oil drum containing the corpse to the outskirts, threw it into the deep pit dug when building the bridge, and filled it with soil and buried it.
Since the pit is more than ten meters deep and filled with garbage, and a lot of construction waste is dumped every day, it will be filled up in a short time.
Therefore, Zhou Guoyong and Yang Qimei believed that the big oil barrel could not be dug out.
Moreover, the oil drum itself is made of iron sheet and will rot in a few years. At that time, there will be only a skeleton left, and it will be impossible to trace them.
After killing Tan Yuanqiao, they first paid off their gambling debts, and then pretended that nothing happened and continued to live their lives.
During this period, although the police came to inquire about Tan Yuanqiao, they did not suspect them.
But they were still worried about being exposed. Not only did they not dare to spend the money, but Zhou Guoyong also gave up gambling.
Later, Zhou Guoyong gradually gained the trust of his superiors with his dark heart and ability to exploit operations, and then gradually climbed from an ordinary employee to the position of director of an oil storage station.
In addition, it has been so many years since this happened. In the past two years, Zhou Guoyong and his wife have gradually relaxed their vigilance and started to think about the money.
They first built a new house, spent a lot of money on food and drink, and even bought a yard for their eldest son in the city.
But out of guilt, they occasionally helped Tan Yuanqiao's wife, which was appreciated by Tan's family.
Even, in order to thank them for their usual help, Tan Yuanqiao's eldest daughter Tan Shiqing agreed to the pursuit of Zhou Guoyong's son.
If it hadn't been for this sudden incident, it wouldn't take long for the two to register their marriage.
If that is really the case, this matter will become even more difficult to end.
Zhou Guoyong and his wife originally thought that their murder would be buried underground forever and become an unsolved case.
But what they never expected was that the Bawang River changed its course in the past few years, and the river course deviated more than fifty meters to the left, forcibly enclosing the original garbage dump.
The large oil drum containing Tan Yuanqiao's body was washed away by the water and slowly slid downstream from the pit, and was finally stopped by the bridge pier downstream.
This year the bridge was rebuilt and the bodies were revealed.
In fact, Zhou Guoyong and his wife received the news on the day that the oil barrel corpse case occurred, and they were scared to death.
But at the same time, I felt that it would be impossible to trace them after so many years.
However, they did not expect that the public security organs would find out about them so quickly.
Zhou Guoyong, knowing that he had been exposed, finally chose to hang himself, and Yang Qimei could not escape severe punishment.
At this point, the truth about the mysterious disappearance of the textile factory accountant Tan Yuanqiao and the wages of all factory workers has finally come to light.
