Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

Originally, Zhao Wenhao didn't want to bother Fang Jianxin directly about this matter, but if he didn't take action now, Ma Hongzhi might really escape.

Especially the attitude of the two policemen just now, which made him feel that something might go wrong.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Wenhao still called Fang Jianxin's home.

It was already four o'clock in the morning. When Fang Jianxin received the call, he immediately called Zhang Bingkun's home in the Criminal Investigation Brigade.

Zhang Bingkun was half asleep when he heard the phone ring. He was initially furious, but when he heard it was Director Fang himself calling, he suddenly shuddered and woke up immediately.

The matter was quickly explained, and Zhang Bingkun suddenly became excited.

This was an opportunity to make a contribution, and he couldn't miss it, so he immediately started making arrangements.

"Wenhao, do you know Director Fang of the Public Security Bureau?"

When the phone call was made, Zhao Yuanchao was always by his side, so he naturally heard the conversation clearly.

"We met by chance," Zhao Wenhao replied half-heartedly. "Secretary of the Aid Korea Branch, I need your help taking care of my family. I have some things to take care of. Oh, could you lend me your bike? My house was burned to pieces."

After saying that, without waiting for Zhao Yuanchao's response, Zhao Wenhao rode away quickly on his bike.

More than an hour had passed since the fire was set. Zhao Wenhao wasn't sure if Ma Hongzhi was still home. Or if he hadn't returned home at all and had simply gone into hiding.

However, he still held on to a glimmer of hope, hoping to catch him at their home.

………………

"Crab, let me ask you, is that man dead?"

"I'm not sure. The dagger should have been stuck in his back, but I couldn't see exactly where. I just saw him lying on the ground motionless, so I didn't dare get close."

"Damn it, can you be more reliable? You didn't even figure out if the person was dead or not."

"Brother Ma, don't blame me. Didn't you dare to go forward to check at that time?"

While the villagers of Zhaojiayu were still busy, Ma Hongzhi and Crab had already hidden in Crab's home.

"Don't worry, no one saw it at the time. Even if Zhao Wenhao suspected that I did it, there is no evidence."

Ma Hongzhi comforted the crab, and at the same time he was comforting himself.

Little did he know that Zhao Aiguo had heard him when he was shouting "crabs" just now.

"Brother Ma, I think it's better for me to go out and hide."

Crab was clearly frightened. Normally, a fight would only result in a few days of detention at most. But now that there was a high possibility of murder involved, he had to think twice.

"That's fine. Go out and hide for a while. If that person isn't dead, then this matter won't be a big deal. After a while, no one will bother with it. If he's really dead, don't come back for a while. Wait a few years before you come back."

After some consideration, Ma Hongzhi decided to let the crab hide away just to be on the safe side.

"Brother Ma, things have gotten out of hand now. I have to hide away again. The 500 yuan you gave me is not enough at all. Look, are you..." Crab licked his face and spoke again.

Ma Hongzhi's face was gloomy and he glared at the crab fiercely.

At this point, if he wanted to block the crab's mouth, he could only fulfill his wish. Unless he could shut the crab up permanently, it would not be easy to solve this problem perfectly.

It was not until this time that Ma Hongzhi felt some regret.

If I had known about this earlier, I would have done it on my own and wouldn't have caused so many troubles today.

Unfortunately, there is no if in the world.

"One thousand, and I'll give you another thousand. You must hide away for at least a year and don't come back within this year. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that nothing bad will happen to your family."

Ma Hongzhi stood up and stared fiercely into the crab's eyes, his eyes full of hostility.

Crab shuddered and quickly responded, "Brother Ma, don't worry, I will definitely listen to you."

Ma Hongzhi was very satisfied with Crab's attitude and nodded, "I don't have that much money on me. You wait here and I'll go back and get the money for you."

After saying that, Ma Hongzhi walked out of the yard on his own without waiting for Crab's consent and rode his motorcycle back home.

At this moment, Zhao Wenhao had finished his call and borrowed Zhao Yuanchao's bicycle and hurried to the town.

He had already made plans for Ma Hongzhi to go into hiding, but when the time came, he felt a little frustrated if he didn't do anything. Therefore, he came here on purpose, hoping to wait and see, and try his luck.

Besides, Zhang Bingkun had already been notified and would be here in half an hour at most. If he went ahead, he could also grasp the situation well.

As for the town police station, based on the attitude of the two officers just now, he didn't expect them to be able to help at all. If they could not leak the information, it would be a blessing.

"What? You actually set a fire and possibly killed someone?"

"It wasn't me who killed the person, it was the crab. And we still don't know if that person is dead or not."

"You beast, I told you a long time ago not to cause trouble, but you refused to listen. I'm going to beat you to death, you beast."

"Dad, it's come to this. Beating him is useless. Let's think of a way to deal with this."

"Let me go! I'm going to beat him to death today. You're the one who always protects him, letting him get ahead of himself. Now that he's gotten into this big mess, what do you want me to do?"

"Hit me, hit me! I'm your only son anyway. If you kill me, who will take care of you in your old age?"

"You little beast, you dare to threaten me? I'll beat you to death!"

At this time, there was a fierce quarrel in Ma Yaoming's home.

Ma Hongzhi naturally didn't have that much cash, so he could only ask his father for money.

Ma Yaoming, who noticed something was wrong, immediately figured out the situation, which made him furious.

He really didn't expect that his son would cause such a big thing, and the most important thing was that it might even involve human lives.

As for minor issues, as the deputy mayor, he had a certain network of connections and believed he could handle them. This was also one of the reasons why he usually indulged Ma Hongzhi.

But now that human lives are involved, it is not something he can just solve.

"Dad, give me some money first. I'll send Crab away first, so that he won't be so careless." Seeing Ma Yaoming remained silent, Ma Hongzhi immediately remembered that Crab was still waiting over there. "You don't have to worry. No one saw us at the time. They can't do anything to us without evidence."

"Hey!"

Ma Yaoming had no other choice but to count out five thousand yuan in cash from the drawer. "Give this one thousand to Crab. Let him get as far away as possible. Keep the other four thousand. Go hide for a while, and go to your aunt's place in Guangdong Province."
