I found a small hotel to make do for the night, and early the next morning, Zhao Mingkun cleaned up the traces we left, and took me to the Corning Insurance Company.
The scale of Corning Insurance Company is not particularly large, but it also has a scale of hundreds of millions. As far as I know, insurance companies have transaction records for each claim settlement, especially for such a huge amount of one million, even after seven years, it will definitely be found in the company's transaction records.
And when a person in charge of the company fiddled with it for half an hour, he finally found this insurance claim bill. Coincidentally, the person in charge of the company also participated in Lu Zhiqiu's claim settlement seven years ago.
The person in charge told us that when a claim needs to be settled, the insurance company will send an insurance claim adjuster to investigate. When the insurance adjuster confirms that the insurance conditions are true and there is no fraudulent insurance, the claim will be settled in accordance with the regulations on the insurance contract.
The person in charge said: "Seven years ago, the scale of Corning Insurance Company was far smaller than it is now, and the policies usually handled were small policies of tens of thousands of yuan, but they did not expect to pay a compensation of one million yuan. At that time, no one had I thought about the dangers of student internships. Dongxing University has a very large share of insurance, and the scope of compensation is also wide. If there is an accident or even homicide, it will be covered by the policy."
I frowned, and said, "Homicide counts? I've never heard of it."
The person in charge nodded and said: "Actually, as long as something happened on the construction site, everything except suicide will be counted. Even if you die suddenly on the construction site, it will be covered by my insurance policy." Medium. As I said before, it’s all paid by the school, and the insured share is also large, and the policy period is also short, just one or two months during the internship. And that’s why the final insurance amount is so large.”
I nodded.
The person in charge continued: "The investigator in charge of claims was once another founder of our company, Liu Ruijie. Speaking of which, I really think this matter is a bit strange. Not long after that female classmate died, Liu Ruijie passed away a few months later. I left the company. And I know that Liu Ruijie owed a lot of debts at that time."
"Are you in a lot of debt?" My eyes lit up.
The person in charge nodded and said, "Speaking of which, Liu Ruijie and another boss jointly funded and founded Corning Insurance Company. Seven years ago, both of them were in their thirties, and they invested all their money in the company. Li. The company started slowly and gradually gained scale.”
"At that time, Liu Ruijie exported all the company's shares he held." The person in charge shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about houses and cars. He lost everything. Another boss saw him as the founder of the company. , barely gave him a job as a claims adjuster, and he was able to barely make ends meet. But Liu Ruijie, a company boss, turned out to be a claims adjuster in the end, and the gap was too great."
"Therefore, Liu Ruijie left the company a few months after the settlement of Lu Zhiqiu's insurance policy seven years ago."
The person in charge looked left and right, and whispered to me: "I am also my own guess about these things, and there is no evidence. If you want to listen, just listen to it as a story. If you don't listen, it's really no big deal."
"Tell me." I said.
The person in charge cleared his throat, and then said: "At that time, Liu Ruijie's wife divorced him, and he owed a lot of foreign debts by himself, so he was sad every day. But when he went to investigate that day, he smiled, as if It’s as if I don’t have to worry about those foreign debts anymore. On the way, I told me that after the guarantee, I will say goodbye to the past life.”
"What do you mean?" Zhao Mingkun looked at him.
He whispered: "I think there seems to be something unspeakable between him and this list. Otherwise, he shouldn't be the one to go to this list. I have a feeling, as if he knew that this girl would die a long time ago." .”
Having said that, he went on to say: "Of course, that's what I felt at the time, and he seemed to have paid off all the foreign debts. But that's what I said, after all, he didn't say it clearly at the time, of course Well, he won't say anything about it, don't you think?"
While speaking, the person in charge gave us Liu Ruijie's phone number and address, and he said, "The phone number and address are from seven years ago. I don't know if they are still correct now. At that time, he sold his house and car, so he rented it." I live alone in a small house. By the way, don’t tell me what I told you, you see, I’m not a gossip either, am I?”
With an address and phone number, we walked out of the insurance company.
Zhao Mingkun looked at the address, and said to me: "This address is more than two hours away from here, and it's not far away. However, he has little hope of living there. Do you think there is such a possibility? Liu Ruijie owes a lot of money, and he urgently needs a large sum of money to pay off the debt."
"But." Zhao Mingkun rode on the motorcycle: "At that time, no one would lend him any money. So he thought of playing tricks on the huge insurance policy, so he joined forces with the beneficiary Hu Pei, invited Lu Zhiqiu to the construction site, and then the two Did someone kill someone?"
I touched my chin and said slowly: "If two people commit the crime, in order to ensure that the other party will not tell, both of them must do it. Then, the dismemberment may be to make the other party have no way to regret. Since two people If you have done everything, then even if you regret it in the future, you will not confess the other person, they will be both prosperous and ruined."
"That's right, as grasshoppers on a rope, neither of them can betray the other." Zhao Mingkun said, "Otherwise, both of them will face the fate of being caught."
I snapped my fingers and said, "It's not impossible. The motive for killing is money."
After all, I raised a few more doubts: "This is indeed understandable, but I still have a few questions. Tell me, why did the beneficiary of Lu Zhiqiu's insurance policy fill in Hu Pei? If you want to fill in this Insurance policy, usually the first thing that comes to mind is boyfriend, right?"
Zhao Mingkun was silent for a moment and said: "That's not necessarily true. Lu Zhiqiu's family is not good to Lu Zhiqiu. It can be seen that Lu Zhiqiu's family should be patriarchal. Moreover, it is estimated that when filling out this form, everyone is playing around with each other. Filled in with an attitude. Who would have thought that something would really happen?"
After a pause, Zhao Mingkun continued: "When filling out the form, the students should have filled it out together, maybe to prove that the two people love each other more than gold, and that the two people love each other to death? So the beneficiary column filled in each other's name , it is not impossible.”
I shrugged: "Then Hu Pei killed her?"
Zhao Mingkun drove his motorcycle to Liu Ruijie's address, heard my words, and said, "That means premeditated murder was done when filling out the form. When Lu Zhiqiu wrote down Hu Pei's name, Lu Zhiqiu's fate of death was decided." However, that is Liu Ruijie colluding with Hu Pei, not Hu Pei colluding with Liu Ruijie."
"Who colludes is not the point, the point is that both of them have the motive to kill." I hugged Zhao Mingkun and said, "Each one has a ghost, and hit it off right away?"
Zhao Mingkun said: "One million is divided equally, and one person has half a million. When do you think you will earn enough for half a million?"
I was speechless, so I had no choice but to say: "Do you think I can still make money with my current status? I can't earn half a million in my whole life."
Zhao Mingkun smiled: "I have."
"You have half a million?" I asked.
Zhao Mingkun nodded: "Are you envious?"
I snorted coldly and said, "I'm envious of you, there are half a million people still alive like homeless people, what's there to envy."
Zhao Mingkun laughed.
I said again: "However, if you say that Hu Pei and Liu Ruijie killed someone, then you will definitely not spread it everywhere. However, when we were in Hu Pei's old home, we heard Jiang Xiaochun's crazy words. From Jiang Xiaochun From what he said, we can know that Jiang Xiaochun is also aware of this matter. Even if they are husband and wife, Hu Pei will definitely not tell this matter."
Hearing what I said, Zhao Mingkun seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he said: "It makes sense. Looking at Jiang Xiaochun's appearance before, he seemed to be scared enough. And he kept saying that she is back, ghosts are coming, and so on. If she wasn't afraid of Lu Zhiqiu, she shouldn't have such a big reaction."
I hummed: "Then this is the problem. Lu Zhiqiu and Hu Pei have been in love for four or five years. After Lu Zhiqiu died, Hu Pei married Jiang Xiaochun and had children very quickly. This shows that Jiang Xiaochun must have missed Hu Pei for a long time. It's time. Tell me, will this Jiang Xiaochun get involved in Lu Zhiqiu's case?"
Zhao Mingkun shook his head, and said: "If Jiang Xiaochun also got involved, the situation will be more complicated. And even if Hu Pei agrees, I don't think Liu Ruijie will agree. The more people who know about this matter, The greater the possibility of exposure, the greater the possibility of being caught, so they should not join hands."
After hearing Zhao Mingkun's words, I also felt the same way. Moreover, from the fact that Hu Pei sent his wife and children back to their old home, it can be seen that Hu Pei thinks that this matter should not affect his wife and daughter, so Hu Pei should think that his wife does not know about Lu Zhiqiu.
But judging from Jiang Xiaochun's situation, she did know about Lu Zhiqiu's death.
Things got interesting. The husband knows it, the wife knows it, the husband thinks the wife doesn't know it, and the wife knows it but pretends not to know it. And what I can be sure of is that Hu Xiaoxue must not know about this matter. The child is innocent, but the murderer also did not let her go.
Along the way, I have been thinking about this question. Who did Lu Zhiqiu's death in the first place, Hu Pei, Liu Ruijie, maybe even Jiang Xiaochun? They all had motives for Lu Zhiqiu's death, and perhaps they had conspired to do so. And now, the person who avenged Lu Zhiqiu came back.
Everyone has their own ghosts.
