Rebirth 78, the beginning of the marriage was broken off by the female educated youth

The thick files brought by Qi Zhiyuan were spread out on the conference table, like four twisted and dark life trajectories unfolding.

"Comrades, Advisor Li, professors," Qi Zhiyuan's voice was tired and hoarse from not having slept all night, but it was full of strength, "Thanks to the tireless efforts of the special task force comrades over so many days, through cross-verification, peripheral investigation, and surprise interrogation, the truth of that incident from twenty years ago, and the path by which Zhang Biao and the other three escaped, has been thoroughly investigated!"

He handed the first file to Li Xiangnan and roared, "The ringleader is Zhang Hu, who later went by the alias Zhang Biao! Back then, he was the deputy head of the security department of Gangshan Mining Area, wielding real power, but he was also domineering!"

"This person took advantage of his position to befriend the brother-in-law of an officer at Gangshan Police Station. He then spent money on a meal to learn about the initial report filed by Hu's wife's younger sister and began to work on changing her name and identity!"

"After the coal mine and old coal workshop began to experience changes due to the Hu family incident, he frequently passed on negative information to the mine leadership. He used his power to bribe the third-party investigators at the time, leaving behind signs of resource depletion in the mine. Then, taking advantage of the chaos in the transfer of personnel files, he completely destroyed the original personnel files involving himself, Ma Taihe, Hu Jianjun, and Zhao Laoshuan!"

No wonder Zhao Laoshuan, this outsider, could never trace his origins; it turns out all the records from back then were lost!

No one reported him missing after he, a bachelor, disappeared.

"Then, through the efforts of a distant relative who held a leadership position in a mining area in a neighboring province, this person was introduced as a key technical personnel, which allowed him to move to another province. He then transformed himself and, starting as a production staff member in the new mining area, rose to the position of deputy director of the production department within twenty years, completely leaving Luzhou, this place of trouble!"

Upon hearing this, a collective gasp filled the room. Wang Defa took the file from Li Xiangnan, glanced at it, and then looked up to ask, "Where is Ma Taihe?"

"The accomplice was Ma He, who later changed his name to Ma Taihe!" Qi Zhiyuan knew all the case files like the back of his hand and immediately replied, "He was a classmate of Zhang Hu, Sun Fang, and Chen Yan. At that time, he was just an ordinary miner in the mine, relying on Zhang Hu!"

"After his file was destroyed, he took the fake identity certificate given to him by Zhang Hu, spent a lot of money, and transferred his household registration back to his original place of residence. Under the identity of Ma Taihe and with a clean record, he entered a textile machinery factory in the county through recruitment and became an ordinary worker, thus disappearing into the vast sea of ​​people!"

The people in the room frowned. Looking at it this way, Ma Taihe and Zhang Hu were truly in cahoots, birds of a feather. They committed crimes together, and even their attempts to whitewash their identities were so clean and efficient.

Li Xiangnan looked up and stretched out his hand towards Fan Deting, "What about Chen Xiaoyan? I remember Director Fan mentioned before that she's the family member of the deputy director of the district's Administration for Industry and Commerce!"

“That’s right!” Fan Deting continued, “This Chen Xiaoyan, relying on her looks, changed her name and identity, and a year later, using her marriage, she begged her in-laws to completely alter her personnel file after getting married. She even added a clean file, changing her previous classmate relationship with Zhang Biao and Ma Taihe. Then, after working in the street office for two years, she transferred to a street office enterprise, a match factory, thus completely severing ties with her former life!”

Li Xiangnan squinted and asked, "That deputy director of the district's Administration for Industry and Commerce?"

Without looking at the case file, Fan Debiao said directly, "It was his mother who orchestrated the name change; she was the former deputy director of the Women's Federation, and she has already confessed to the entire crime she committed back then!"

Twenty years ago, the law was not very perfect, and for some people with authority, it was indeed not a difficult task to help someone forge an identity!

But Li Xiangnan still had doubts in his heart.

He didn't look at the fourth file, but took it and asked directly, "Director Qi, Director Fan, the case of Hu Jianjun's family happened twenty years ago, and it was very difficult to secure evidence. But you solved the case in just over ten days. How did you do that?"

Fan Deting smiled and gave him an appreciative look. "Advisor Li, your suggestion to contact all the families of those four people as soon as possible has now proven to be the right decision!"

"Following your instructions at the time, we found the breakthrough point fastest among the four victim families, and that breakthrough point was Sun Lianfang's family!"

"Oh?" Hearing Director Fan say that, Li Xiangnan was a little embarrassed. "You were already planning to investigate the victim, so it's not really related to my reminder!"

"Advisor Li!" Qi Zhiyuan waved his hand and laughed, "You can't say that, your insights are indeed useful! Old Fan, quickly tell Advisor Li about the breakthrough!"

"Yes!" Van der Ting's voice immediately became louder, attracting everyone's attention.

"Sun Lianfang was the youngest of the four and also came from the best family. She was only nineteen years old at the time. Her father was a textile businessman who had a large business in another city. He had always wanted to open up the market in Luzhou, so he brought his daughter to Luzhou to study early, hoping she would inherit his family business!"

"As a result, Sun Lianfang was seduced by the delinquent Zhang Hu. She was blinded by so-called loyalty and excitement and participated in the three men's violence! But afterwards, she was tormented day and night by immense fear and guilt. For a long time afterward, she hardly slept through the night and was on the verge of a mental breakdown!"

Qi Zhiyuan took over the conversation, his voice carrying a sense of insightful observation about human nature.

"Advisor Li, the reason I say the breakthrough lies here is because Sun Lianfang, under psychological pressure, meticulously recorded that terrifying experience in her diary!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xiangnan, Wang Defa, and several professors all exclaimed in surprise.

"Later, she couldn't continue with the jobs her father arranged for her, even though she had mental health issues. She begged her father to help her transfer jobs, and even moved to escape her environment!"

"Her father also sensed that something was wrong with his daughter, and after repeated questioning, Sun Lianfang finally broke down and revealed the truth about what happened back then!"

"When Old Master Sun learned the truth, he was thunderstruck!" Fan Deting nodded and continued, "Old Master Sun loved his daughter dearly and couldn't resist her pleas. He helped cover up the truth and even spent a lot of money to help his daughter forge a new identity. He also asked his daughter not to go out to work and to stay at home, avoiding going out!"

"But this sin, like a venomous snake, gnawed at the conscience of this old man Sun day and night. After learning about this, he never slept well or ate a decent meal again! His health deteriorated rapidly!"

"In the words of Sun Lianfang's mother, the old man has not had a single peaceful night's sleep in the past twenty years. He often wakes up in the middle of the night crying in pain! He trembles all over at the sound of a police siren and wants to run away at the sight of a police uniform!"

Fan Deting sighed as he finished speaking.

"After Sun Lianfang was murdered in the street, the old man finally broke down after immense grief and prolonged mental torment! He woke up several times in his hospital bed, and finally couldn't bear the inner torment any longer. When we found him, he took the initiative to confess what happened back then, and even handed over the diary he had hidden for twenty years!"

He said that the Hu family members had been dead for twenty years, and that the matter from back then couldn't be left unresolved! He accepted his daughter's death and didn't want to pursue the matter any further!

Qi Zhiyuan lit a cigarette and sighed, "He was also the first victim's family member to give up pursuing accountability. Perhaps for him, the torment of these twenty years was not as peaceful as handing over the diary!"

Fan Deting nodded and then handed a transcript of the conversation to Li Xiangnan.

According to Zhang Biao's family, although Zhang Biao changed his name, he often woke up in the middle of the night and was too scared to sleep for several days in a row! Ma Taihe's coworkers also confirmed that as soon as he got off work, he would hide in the dormitory and not come out, for fear that strangers would look for him. He lived in constant fear!

"Chen Xiaoyan even engaged in self-harm and abused her children at home, and she was always emotionally unstable! Not to mention Sun Lianfang..."

Li Xiangnan nodded.

"This is truly justice, and retribution is inevitable! All four families were drawn into the vortex of evil because of that bloody case from back then, and paid a heavy price!"

No one spoke in the meeting room; everyone was digesting the enormous amount of information presented in the four case files.

However, after carefully reviewing the documents, an idea suddenly popped into Li Xiangnan's mind. He stood up and quickly reviewed all the files.

Those around him, seeing his actions, also stood up.

Qi Zhiyuan asked, completely bewildered, "Advisor Li, what's wrong?"

"Strange, strange, no, nothing!"

Li Xiangnan sifted through the documents for several minutes, then plopped down in a chair, frowning as he asked, "Why did four people who had completely cleaned up their identities come to Luzhou, the place they feared most, that day? What were they there for? Were they there to meet? If so, why did they choose to meet in a large, crowded place? Wouldn't it have been better to find a secluded corner? Did someone send them? There's no record of that in any of the statements!"

A barrage of questions came out of his mouth, leaving everyone speechless, and a chill gradually rose from the soles of their feet!

Intuition tells everyone that, in a corner unseen by them, there seems to be a hidden thread, faintly concealed...
