Is there another person?
The heads of the three express companies and the three district agents of Wutong District were all wiped out. Who else are Second Brother and his crew going after?
Guo Yue's eyes were filled with confusion.
Gao Fei did not explain. He glanced at the wanted poster issued by the Kyoto Police Department on the computer and said, "Old Guo, the matter has more or less settled. Go back and rest.
Think carefully about what kind of business you want to do in the future, as it was your second brother's last wish before he left."
"Mr. Gao, I..."
Guo Yue opened his mouth, wanting to ask who the last person was.
But seeing Gao Fei's attitude, he could only sigh and get up to leave.
Even if he knew who the last person was, what then?
The police were on high alert throughout the city. Could he, Guo Yue, deal with that person alone?
Obviously not!
After the other person left, Gao Fei took out his phone, found Jin Qiqi's number, and dialed it.
"Boss!"
"You can start. Let this rat get out of here completely!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up, Gao Fei leaned back in his chair and massaged his temples.
The original struggle for benefits had turned into a vendetta.
This was not the outcome he most wanted to see.
But in this business world where people kill without shedding blood,
this outcome was actually the most beneficial to him.
The Hu Qing brothers helped him establish a reputation and deter all businessmen in Kyoto.
His future path, while not guaranteed to be smooth, would ensure that all sorts of shady characters would always keep their distance from him.
This was also Hu Qing's last promise!
Gao Fei did not know where the Hu Qing trio were now.
But he was certain that they had not left Kyoto yet, and were hiding in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to deal with the last person.
Chou Dongsheng!
...
Jingda Guesthouse.
Chou Dongsheng, uneasy, paced back and forth in his room.
The three district agents were murdered in the suburbs.
When they died, they were kneeling, facing the direction of the Kyoto cemetery.
The presidents of the three companies died even more tragically.
One was shot dead on the street, one was stabbed to death, and one was strangled in the toilet.
Only wanted posters had been issued for the three murderers, and they had not yet been apprehended.
As one of the insiders, Chou Dongsheng felt death closing in on him step by step, and that the three murderers would soon come for him.
"Latest case report: According to the police's deduction, the suspects surnamed Hu, Zheng, and Jin are highly likely to still be hiding within Kyoto city..."
Hearing the news, Chou Dongsheng became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
"Damn it, it's just two people died in the warehouse, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? Three lunatics!"
He was certain that the trio hadn't fled and were definitely waiting to deal with him.
But when he had contacted his boss's uncle before, Kong Liwei had told him not to leave the school for half a step and to avoid the public as much as possible, waiting for the police to catch the culprits.
Facing three desperate criminals, their hands stained with blood, hiding in the shadows, Chou Dongsheng didn't want to stay a moment longer and wanted to get away from Kyoto, a place of trouble, as soon as possible.
"Go? Or stay?"
Just as Chou Dongsheng was still deliberating whether to leave or not.
On the internet, a Level 3 account named "Golden Detective" posted recordings related to the Wutong District warehouse arson case on three major social platforms.
As soon as the recordings were posted, they immediately became trending topics.
Countless internet trolls followed, continuously spamming the comment section of the account to boost its popularity.
Each comment was identical.
"Punish the perpetrators severely, and give justice to the deceased!"
With the efforts of the trolls, within half an hour, the recordings had entered the top twenty of the trending list.
The title of the trending topic was also very clear: "Recordings of the Wutong District Warehouse Arson Case."
Instantly, the entire trending topic was scrambled for coverage by well-known media personalities and various online media outlets.
After more than ten well-known media personalities and over twenty online media outlets reposted the recordings and reported on them,
the popularity of the trending topic began to break through one million, then ten million.
The number of people discussing the issue grew from an initial few tens of thousands of trolls to over a million netizens simultaneously following the event online.
There were a total of fifteen recordings posted by "Golden Detective."
Five of the recordings roughly outlined how Chou Dongsheng, the financial statistician for the Kyoto University Entrepreneurship Competition, colluded with the district agents of Wutong District's Feiyue, Xingcheng, and Tengda express companies to target Gao Fei, the district agent of Tongda and Suyue express companies.
The next four recordings detailed how Chou Dongsheng hired and commanded people to maliciously damage the express lockers at Jingda University.
It included recordings of Chou Dongsheng teaching people how to damage the lockers, how to escape after damaging them, and also his bribing of school security guards.
The final six recordings revealed Chou Dongsheng's collusion with the agents of the three express companies in Wutong District to vandalize all branches of Tongda Express and Suyue Express.
This was followed by Chou Dongsheng, in his capacity as the deputy manager of Weicheng Investment Group, meeting with the presidents of Feiyue Express, Xingcheng Express, and Tengda Express.
And the recordings confirmed that they had hired people to intentionally set fire to the warehouses of Tongda Express and Suyue Express, which led to the deaths of the warehouse managers.
After listening to the fifteen recordings, the millions of netizens were all extremely angry.
Previously, everyone had believed that the two warehouse managers had died indirectly because four drunk men had set fire to the warehouse while intoxicated.
But they never expected that the exposure of the fifteen recordings would directly reveal the mastermind behind the warehouse arson case.
And those four drunk men were merely scapegoats hired by Chou Dongsheng and his accomplices.
[The perpetrators must be severely punished, especially Chou Dongsheng, the financial statistician at Jingda University. This person is venomous and can be heard from the recordings that all the cases originated with him. I hope the relevant authorities will punish him severely and sentence him to death!]
[Earlier, I saw that the presidents and three district agents of the three express companies were murdered, and I was shocked. Like others, I called for severe punishment of the three fugitives. But now, after learning the details from the recordings, those three presidents and agents deserved their deaths.]
[Not only did they deserve their deaths, they should be glad they died! They hired assassins, treated human lives as if they were worthless, and caused the deaths of two innocent warehouse managers. They got what they deserved, this is retribution!]
[I request the relevant authorities to arrest Chou Dongsheng, who works as a financial statistician at Kyoto University. This kid is full of wicked schemes, and he is the origin of everything. If there is true accountability, he is the real culprit.]
In the comment section, netizens were in an uproar.
Everyone applauded the deaths of the three murdered presidents and three district agents, and no one felt any pity for them.
As for Chou Dongsheng, he was now like a wall that everyone pushed, a rat crossing the street that everyone wanted to beat.
Netizens even directly left messages on the official account of the Kyoto Police Department, urging the police to severely punish this wicked person.
Because of the participation of netizens and the reporting by various media outlets, the recording incident escalated on the internet.
The special investigation team of the Kyoto Police Department, upon seeing the trending topics and netizens' comments, immediately launched an investigation into the recordings.
...
Jingda Guesthouse.
At this moment, Chou Dongsheng was unaware that the recordings of him colluding with three companies to target Gao Fei had been exposed online.
He had just made up his mind to leave Kyoto tonight without telling anyone!
He would return to Kyoto after the three murderers were caught.
"Damn it, staying here is just waiting to die. If those three go berserk, can the security here stop three desperate criminals with blood on their hands?"
Chou Dongsheng did not believe in the strength of Jingda's security guards.
Half of the security guards were middle-aged men in their forties and fifties. Faced with those three fugitives, they would all be down in one encounter.
He packed his luggage, opened the safe in his room, took out six stacks of RMB 10,000 yuan, and stuffed them all into his bag.
Just as Chou Dongsheng was ready to flee Kyoto, there was a knock on the door.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"Who is it?"
"Accountant Chou, it's me, Zhou Bing, an auditor from the competition organizing committee."
Chou Dongsheng suspiciously put down his suitcase.
He walked to the door and cautiously looked through the peephole.
He saw a man in a white shirt, about thirty years old, in his field of vision. It was Zhou Bing, an auditor from the competition organizing committee.
Sensing no abnormality, he breathed a sigh of relief and put on a smiling face as he opened the door.
"Old Zhou, you're looking for me..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chou Dongsheng, who had just opened the door, stood frozen.
Because, next to Zhou Bing, there were now six or seven police officers in uniform.
"Chou Dongsheng?"
"It's me!"
"I am Wang Desheng from the Municipal Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment and the leader of the special investigation team for the warehouse arson case!"
Hearing Wang Desheng declare his identity, a chill ran down Chou Dongsheng's spine, and his legs felt weak.
When he saw the arrest warrant and search warrant in Captain Wang's hand,
his legs buckled, and he collapsed to the ground, simultaneously being fitted with a pair of silver bracelets.
...
One hour after Chou Dongsheng was arrested, the police quickly announced the news online.
The official account of the Kyoto Police Department stated that Chou was not only suspected of intentional homicide but also involved in numerous illegal business activities.
Now, multiple cases were being jointly investigated, and Chou's final outcome would depend on the prosecution's indictment and the court's verdict.
Upon seeing the statement from the Kyoto Police Department, netizens expressed their satisfaction.
After all, in the previous fifteen recordings, Chou Dongsheng was the mastermind behind all the cases.
Just as netizens were praising the police for their swift action in bringing criminals to justice, another piece of news shocked the internet.
On the afternoon of Chou Dongsheng's arrest.
Hu Qing, Zheng Pingye, and Jin Xiaohu suddenly appeared at the Kyoto Police Department.
The three A-level fugitives, appearing so openly at the police station.
It caused widespread surprise and shock.
Only when the police officers surrounded the three of them, handcuffed them, and subdued them did everyone heave a heavy sigh of relief.
At the same time, everyone felt a sense of unreality.
No one had expected that three wanted fugitives, marked in red, would surrender themselves.
The investigating officers asked Hu Qing, Zheng Pingye, and Jin Xiaohu the same question.
Why did they suddenly choose to surrender?
And the three of them gave the same answer.
"Because their last target for revenge, Chou Dongsheng, was arrested!"
As they answered, there was a mixture of wry smiles and relief on their faces.
The wry smile came from the fact that they couldn't personally kill Chou Dongsheng in the end.
The relief came from the fact that their young boss, Gao Fei, had still thought of them after they committed their crimes and given them another chance.
With Chou Dongsheng arrested and the three surrendering themselves, according to Chinese law, the case would be handled with leniency.
However, the matter did not conclude with Hu Qing and the other two surrendering.
Instead, Chou Dongsheng's arrest was just the beginning.
(Goodbye 2022, see you in 2023! Happy New Year in advance to everyone!)
