Chapter 3466
Two days before Lu Xiong was caught, Su Xinghui received good news, that was, Zhang Bin's injury had improved greatly after such a long rest. He was already able to sit up in bed and could eat some solid food, which made Su Xinghui very relieved for Zhang Bin.
And the news of Lu Xiong's arrest was also told to Su Xinghui by Yang Jiong at the first moment, which made Su Xinghui very happy, because the reward indeed played a huge role. If it weren't for Qiangzi calling to report Lu Xiong, Lu Xiong couldn't have been caught so quickly. If it were through the police screening, it would be unknown when Lu Xiong would be caught.
The result of the interrogation had come out. Lu Xiong was a migrant worker from a village in a county in Ganzhou City in the east of Hudong Province. He had been working in Jiangcheng for several years.
At the end of last year, a person from their village found him and said there was a good thing looking for him. He asked what good thing it was, and that person said a reporter from Jiangcheng City Daily offended the secretary of their neighboring village. That secretary wanted to find someone to teach him a lesson. That person was friends with that secretary, so he volunteered to say he would help him find someone.
The person he found was Lu Xiong, because Lu Xiong had always been brave and fierce, often fighting and brawling, and had used a knife to hurt people, had been to the police station, and could be considered a tough guy in their village. Moreover, Lu Xiong was working in Jiangcheng and was very familiar with the terrain of Jiangcheng, so finding Lu Xiong for this kind of thing was the most suitable.
This person Lu Xiong didn't have any sense of right and wrong. As soon as he heard what that person said, he directly asked him what benefits he could get if he did this thing.
That person told him that the secretary of the neighboring village had plenty of money. As long as he did this thing, the benefits would definitely not be less for him.
Lu Xiong asked him impatiently what benefits there were, and not just empty words.
That person knew Lu Xiong had a bad temper. He said if Lu Xiong could chop off one of the reporter's hands or feet, it would be 10,000. If he chopped off one more, it would be 10,000 more. If he could take the reporter's life, he could give 50,000.
Lu Xiong worked in Jiangcheng, and his horizons could not be compared to those people in the village. He said he could take that reporter's life, but it would take 100,000 yuan. 50,000 yuan was only his two or three years' salary, and he didn't need to take such a big risk for that little money.
That person called and asked the secretary after that, and agreed to the price of 100,000 yuan. Lu Xiong also asked them to pay half first, and then he would take action. If he successfully finished off the reporter, they would pay the other half. If he didn't succeed, then the other half didn't need to be paid.
At that time, that person had some hesitation because he was afraid Lu Xiong would take the money and not work. However, that secretary was more generous. He said if he paid half first, he would pay half first. Therefore, Lu Xiong gave him a card number, and he quickly transferred the money to that card, and urged Lu Xiong to take action as soon as possible.
Lu Xiong got the money and also knew Zhang Bin's name and appearance. He stepped on the point for a few days and figured out Zhang Bin's life rules. He knew that Zhang Bin had to pass through that quiet alley every day after work, so he set the location for action there.
He specially chose the day it rained because the sky was not good when it rained, and there would not be too many pedestrians outside, and not many people would pay attention to him. He was waiting for Zhang Bin to get off work at the gate of Zhang Bin's newspaper office that day.
Because Zhang Bin was a reporter for the newspaper office, writing manuscripts had no fixed time, so after he got off work that day, he also worked overtime in the office for a while, wrote a manuscript, and got off work a little later than usual. They usually got off work at 5:30, but Zhang Bin went out after 6 o'clock that day.
Lu Xiong saw Zhang Bin go out, so he walked quickly to that quiet alley, waiting for Zhang Bin, and put on a mask there.
Zhang Bin's road home every day was not too far, less than one kilometer, so he generally didn't take a car and walked home. That day he was thinking about some things while walking, and he didn't notice at all that there was a person like Lu Xiong staring at him.
When passing through that quiet alley, Lu Xiong darted out and stabbed him twice fiercely from behind Zhang Bin. When he was preparing to stab the third time, Zhang Bin endured the severe pain, turned around, blocked Lu Xiong's third knife with the umbrella in his hand, and fought with Lu Xiong. While fighting, he also called for help.
His call for help attracted several passing pedestrians. They ran over. Lu Xiong saw that the situation was not good, didn't care about stabbing Zhang Bin the third time, and slipped away from that alley. He had already figured out the terrain of this area very familiarly. He ran back to his rented house along several alleys all the way. On the way, he casually threw that dagger into a trash can.
This was a rainy day, and Lu Xiong's footprints and other traces were washed away by the rain. And after he went back, he destroyed his cotton jacket that was splattered with blood. He felt that all the traces of his crime were gone, so he didn't expect at all that he would be caught so quickly.
That day when he was pressed by the police on his bed, he was stunned. He couldn't figure out no matter how he thought how he could be caught so quickly. If he knew, he should have run away long ago.
It was precisely because of this that his psychological defense line was destroyed so quickly. In his view, the police were too divine, and no matter how he concealed it, it was useless. Moreover, what reason did he have to conceal it for that village secretary?
Yang Jiong told Su Xinghui all the case details, and then told him that they had sent capable police officers to Ganzhou City. They would cooperate with the local police to arrest the person who acted as a go-between and that village secretary.
It is worth mentioning that that village secretary was also the protagonist of a report Zhang Bin had written. He was a deputy to the National People's Congress. As soon as Su Xinghui heard his name, he knew what kind of person he was.
At that time, Jiang Chaoyang handed a copy of the reports Zhang Bin had written in these years to Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui immediately took out those copies and found the report about that village secretary.
This village secretary was a capable person. In the early days of reform and opening up, he led the whole village to get rich, making their village one of the top ten villages in Hudong Province and becoming a typical example of getting rich in the whole province. And this village secretary was also very good at drilling and very good at packaging himself. Through multiple reports, he became famous in the whole country and became a deputy to the National People's Congress.
This deputy to the National People's Congress had a good relationship with several provincial leaders of Hudong Province, especially the former governor Tian Chengzu, who had a very good relationship with this village secretary. He went to their village to inspect several times and repeatedly wrote inscriptions for their village. His being able to become a deputy to the National People's Congress had a great relationship with Tian Chengzu's strong support.
This village secretary was not satisfied with small troubles and wanted to gain capital in politics and also wanted to grab more wealth. He registered a company himself, took over the business of village-run enterprises, and earned profits for himself. And in order to expand the scale of village-run enterprises and let him earn profits better, he successively borrowed more than 1 billion yuan from banks through provincial leaders like Tian Chengzu.
It can be said that the model village they had later was completely supported by national loans. Their village still owed more than 1 billion yuan in national loans to this day. They always borrowed new loans to pay off old loans. Because of the help of provincial leaders, they were also willing to give relevant personnel enough benefits, so they were invincible, and every time they borrowed money, basically there was no failure.
