Chapter 1698 Meng Jiang?

The night in Haidong City fell, the lights came on, and the hustle and bustle of the city gradually quieted down in the night. Qin Yuan and Duan Jinglin sat in a meeting room in the police station. The neon lights outside the window shone through the half-open curtains, sprinkling on their frowning brows and the open case files. There was a sense of oppression in the air, as if even the air was heavy for this complicated case.

"This matter is too strange." Qin Yuan was the first to break the silence. His fingers tapped lightly on the table, and his eyes flashed with a sharp light. "The truck driver Fang Jin is obviously the scapegoat carefully selected by Meng Jiang. However, we are just missing a key piece of evidence that can completely lock Meng Jiang and his freedom into the cage of the law."

Duan Jinglin frowned even more tightly when he heard this. He took a sip of the cold coffee. The bitter taste spread in his mouth, but it seemed unable to dispel the haze in his heart. "Yes, we have been investigating for so long, Meng Jiang's defense line is watertight, as if it has been set up in advance, waiting for us to drill in."

Qin Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up, he turned to look at Duan Jinglin, his eyes flashing with determination: "Perhaps, we can change our thinking. It is difficult to break through Meng Jiang, so let's start with his son Meng Tianyu."

Duan Jinglin heard this and raised his head suddenly, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Meng Tianyu? He is studying abroad now, do you want to..."

"That's right," Qin Yuan interrupted Duan Jinglin, his tone firm, "I suspect that Meng Tianyu may know more inside information. After all, he is Meng Jiang's son, and according to our previous investigation, he happened to be in the country on the night of the incident. Maybe he can be the key to open Meng Jiang's defense line for us."

Duan Jinglin was silent, he knew the risks of this step. Transnational investigations are not only cumbersome procedures, but may also alarm Meng Jiang and alert the enemy. But on the other hand, they also know that if some extraordinary measures are not taken, this case may fall into an endless deadlock.

"But how can we get close to him? How can he be willing to help us?" Duan Jinglin raised his doubts.

Qin Yuan smiled slightly, with a sly look in his eyes: "This requires a little skill."

The night of Haidong City is like a huge black curtain, swallowing up the hustle and bustle of the city. Qin Yuan stood in the waiting hall of the international airport, his eyes passed through the bustling crowd, but his heart was cold. His destination this time was Italy in distant Europe, a country he had never set foot in. But his mission was more difficult than any other time - to find Meng Tianyu and uncover the truth behind the traffic accident.

The plane flew through the clouds, across thousands of miles, and finally landed in Rome, the capital of Italy. Qin Yuan walked out of the airport, feeling the customs and customs of a foreign country, but there was no ripple in his heart. He knew very well that he was not here for sightseeing, but for a major mission.

Before coming, Qin Yuan had already had a certain understanding of the underground world in Italy. He knew that in this country where romance and art coexisted, there were also unknown darkness and evil hidden. And Shaq was a tyrant in this darkness, controlling a powerful gang in Rome.

Qin Yuan did not hesitate and took a taxi to an underground bar where Shaq often appeared. The lights in the bar were dim, the music was deafening, and various characters were intertwined here to form a complex picture. Qin Yuan walked through the crowd, walked straight to the bar, and whispered Shaq's name to the bartender.

Soon, a burly middle-aged man with a face full of flesh came over surrounded by the crowd. He looked Qin Yuan up and down, with a flash of disdain in his eyes: "Are you the one who wants to find me?"

Qin Yuan looked straight into Shaq's eyes: "Yes, I am Qin Yuan. I am from Haidong City, China, and I need your help with something very important."

Shaq sneered: "Chinese? Haidong City? Why should I help you?"

Qin Yuan took out a check from his pocket and gently placed it on the bar: "This is a little sincerity money. I believe that for Mr. Shaq, there is nothing that money can't solve."

Shaq glanced at the number on the check, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Well, you are really sensible. Tell me, what do you want me to do for you? ? "

Qin Yuan took a deep breath: "I'm looking for someone, his name is Meng Tianyu, he is Chinese, and he should be studying in Italy. I need to know his exact whereabouts. "

Hearing this, Shaq frowned slightly: "Meng Tianyu? I haven't heard of this name. However, since you paid, I will naturally help you find out. However, you have to understand that Italy is not Haidong City, and things here are not as simple as you think. "

Qin Yuan nodded: "I understand. However, since I came here, I didn't plan to return empty-handed. Mr. Shaq, I believe in your ability and believe that we can cooperate happily. "

Shaq didn't speak, but just looked at Qin Yuan deeply, then turned and left. In the next few days, Qin Yuan stayed in the bar every day waiting for news. He knew that people like Shaq would not easily believe a stranger, let alone easily reveal their intelligence network. However, he also believed that as long as the money was in place, Shaq would definitely give him a satisfactory answer.

Finally, on a rainy evening, Shaq sent someone to deliver the news. Qin Yuan quickly rushed to the designated location and saw Shaq standing in front of a black Mercedes-Benz car with several burly men beside him.

"Qin Yuan, I found the person you are looking for." Shaq's voice sounded particularly low in the rain. "Meng Tianyu is currently studying at a university in Florence. However, his whereabouts are very mysterious and he seems to be deliberately avoiding What."

Qin Yuan's heart tightened: "Avoid? Is it possible that he already knows that someone is checking him?"

Shaq shook his head: "I don't know. However, I am sure that he has changed his residence frequently recently and is very careful every time he travels. If you want to find him, you may have to work hard."

Qin Yuan was silent for a while, and then said firmly: "No matter what, I will find him. Mr. Shaq, can you help me one more time and help me find his exact location?"

Shaq looked at Qin Yuan's firm eyes and smiled slightly: "Of course. But the price this time is not as simple as the previous check."

Qin Yuan did not speak, but took out another check from his pocket. The number on it was even larger than the previous one. Shaq took the check, glanced at it, and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Qin Yuan, you are indeed a cheerful person. I will give you news as soon as possible."

In the next few days, Qin Yuan was like a cheetah lurking in the dark, always ready to attack. He finally waited for news about Shaq. Meng Tianyu was in a cafe in Florence at the moment.

Qin Yuan did not hesitate and immediately drove to Florence. When he pushed open the door of the cafe, he immediately saw Meng Tianyu sitting by the window. Meng Tianyu was looking down at his phone and didn't seem to notice anyone coming in.

Qin Yuan slowly walked to sit opposite Meng Tianyu, and then said: "Meng Tianyu, we finally meet."

Meng Tianyu looked up when he heard this and was stunned: "You...who are you? Do we know each other?"

Qin Yuan smiled slightly: "I am Qin Yuan, from Haidong City, China. I think you should have heard of my name."

Meng Tianyu's face turned pale instantly: "Qin Yuan? You...are you here to catch me?"

Qin Yuan shook his head: "No, I'm not here to arrest you. I just want to know the truth about the traffic accident."

Meng Tianyu was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Qin Yuan, since you can find me, you should know that the accident is related to my dad. But, I really don't know the specific situation. That night, I just followed his instructions He drove the car to the designated location, but I don’t know anything else.”

Qin Yuan stared into Meng Tianyu's eyes closely: "Do you really not know? Or are you deliberately hiding something?"

Meng Tianyu was anxious: "I really don't know! Qin Yuan, believe me, if I know something, I will definitely tell you!"

Qin Yuan looked at Meng Tianyu's anxious expression and couldn't help but feel a little shaken. However, he knew that he could not trust him so easily. So, he asked in a different way: "Meng Tianyu, do you know why your father asked you to do that? Is that big truck driver really the scapegoat he found?"

Meng Tianyu fell silent, his eyes becoming hollow and confused. After a long time, he slowly spoke: "Qin Yuan, I admit that the driver of that big truck was indeed found by my father. But, I really don't know why he did this. I begged him not to To hurt innocent people, but he...he didn't listen to me at all."

When Qin Yuan heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry in his heart. He clenched his fist tightly and resisted the urge to beat Meng Tianyu. However, he knew that this was not the way to solve the problem. So, he took a deep breath and tried to calm down his emotions: "Meng Tianyu, since you know these things, you should stand up and testify against your father. He is the culprit, and he must pay the price for his actions!"

Meng Tianyu lowered his head, his voice choked with sobs: "I...I dare not. He is my father and my only relative. If I testify against him, he will go to jail and may even be sentenced to death. I... I can't live without him."

Qin Yuan looked at Meng Tianyu's painful expression and couldn't help but feel a surge of complicated emotions in his heart. He understood that Meng Tianyu was also a victim, a victim bound by family affection and morality. However, he couldn't just give up. So, he tried to persuade Meng Tianyu: "Meng Tianyu, your father's behavior has hurt many innocent people. If you don't stand up and testify against him, he will only continue to do evil and hurt more people. You can't bear to see this Result?"

Meng Tianyu was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head to look at Qin Yuan: "Qin Yuan, you are right. I can't escape anymore. I will go back with you and testify against my father. However, I hope you can agree to one condition. "

Qin Yuan was overjoyed: "What's the condition? As long as I can do it, I will definitely agree to it."

Meng Tianyu took a deep breath: "I hope you can ensure my dad's safety. Even if he goes to jail, don't let him suffer any harm."

Qin Yuan looked at Meng Tianyu's firm eyes and nodded solemnly: "I promise you. I will do my best to protect his safety."

Under the Italian night, Qin Yuan's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, locked on a figure in the distance - Meng Jiang. This once famous entrepreneur in Haidong City has now become the biggest mystery in Qin Yuan's heart. That sudden traffic accident not only took away the lives of innocent people, but also planted the seeds of revenge and pursuit of the truth in Qin Yuan's heart.

"Meng Jiang, what secrets are you hiding?" Qin Yuan whispered in his heart, and then made a decision. He must return to Haidong City immediately to uncover the truth of all this.

The plane flew through the clouds, like a messenger traveling through time and space, bringing Qin Yuan back to the familiar yet unfamiliar land. The night scene of Haidong City was still prosperous, but Qin Yuan's heart was filled with heaviness. He went straight to the police station and found Li Ming, the police officer in charge of the case.

"Officer Li Ming, I need your help." Qin Yuan got straight to the point, his tone revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Li Ming looked up and saw that it was Qin Yuan, with a flash of surprise in his eyes: "Qin Yuan? Why are you back? Didn't you go to Italy?"

"Yes, but I found new clues." Qin Yuan said, telling Li Ming about his experience in Italy and Meng Jiang's suspicious behavior one by one.

After listening, Li Ming frowned: "Meng Jiang? How could he be involved? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure." Qin Yuan's eyes flashed with a firm light, "And, I suspect that the truck that caused the accident may be his son's car."

Hearing this, Li Ming stood up immediately: "Let's go, let's check it immediately!"

The two acted quickly and retrieved Meng Jiang's itinerary records for that day. Sure enough, as Qin Yuan expected, Meng Jiang did drive his son's car from the parking lot before the accident, and it was Meng Jiang himself who drove the car into the repair shop!

"How... how is this possible?" Li Ming looked at the evidence in front of him and shook his head in disbelief.

Qin Yuan seemed particularly calm: "Officer Li Ming, the evidence is right in front of us. We must act immediately, find Meng Jiang, and ask him clearly."

The two immediately drove to Meng Jiang's residence. However, when they arrived, they found that Meng Jiang was not at home. Qin Yuan had an ominous premonition in his heart: "He ran away!"

"Impossible!" Li Ming roared, "We will immediately issue a wanted order and search for Meng Jiang throughout the city!"

In the next few days, Haidong City fell into an unprecedented manhunt. The police mobilized all their resources and launched a carpet search for Meng Jiang. However, Meng Jiang disappeared without a trace as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

Qin Yuan did not give up. He knew that Meng Jiang must be hiding in a corner, waiting for the wind to pass. So, he started from Meng Jiang's social circle, checking his relatives and friends and possible hiding places one by one. (End of this chapter)
