The Dewei that Fan Dehua was talking about was an old man in his seventies.
When Zhao Yu and Miao Ying found him in a neighborhood in Luolong County, he was playing mahjong in the neighborhood's chess club.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying didn't reveal their identities at first. Instead, they found an excuse to call Fan Dewei out, then explained the situation to him.
In the end, just as Fan Dehua's ex-wife had said, Dewei still remembered what had happened that year.
"Yes, there was indeed such a thing!
"The person you are talking about should be my uncle's brother." Although Fan Dewei was old, he still spoke Mandarin quite well. "But, when I was young, he was adopted by an uncle. Plus, my uncle's family went to Sichuan, so our relationship seems distant!"
"But, we still live quite close, and he is quite nice. His name is … Fan Deming! If he is still alive … "He counted on his fingers." Wouldn't he be in his eighties? "
Fan Deming …
Miao Ying immediately sent the name to Zeng Ke, so that he could check the information.
"Then, tell me," Zhao Yu said. "In 1992, what happened to Fan Deming's family?"
"Oh … it's like this." Fan Dewei recalled carefully and said, "The cause should be Fan Deming's son. The character for our next generation is on the character 'Zhen'. What's his son's name again?
Fan Zhenjiang … Fan Zhenguo … Or Fan Zhenpeng? Maybe it's Zhenguo?
"It's been a long time, so I can't remember clearly. Anyway … in the 80s, his son was in the limelight for a while. He earned a lot of money outside, and his family bought a Happy 125. I was so envious of him!
"But, the good times didn't last long. I don't know if Fan Zhenguo offended someone or owed money, but he suddenly moved …"
"As for where he went, I don't know!"
Fan Dewei asked curiously, "I haven't seen him until today, police comrade … Did you find him? Or … Did something happen to him? "
"What year was it when he disappeared?" Zhao Yu asked. "Who else went with him?"
"It was the summer of 1992. That year, there was a flood in the Yanghe River. I remember it very clearly!" Fan Dewei answered without hesitation. "As for his family, Fan Deming is one of them, and then there's his son's family. That's a total of four people!
"By the way," he thought of something and said, "they left in a hurry and didn't take many things with them!"
"What about Fan Deming's wife?" Miao Ying asked.
"Oh, my sister-in-law died early. When they left, she was long gone." Fan Dewei stretched out his finger. "There was only Fan Deming, his son Fan Zhenguo, his daughter-in-law something Juan, and his little grandson at home!"
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked, "Is the house still there?"
"It's long gone!" Fan Dewei said. "Not long after they left, the house was raided by thieves, and the windows were broken!
"Later, because the demolition team couldn't find the person, the team searched for a while, but they couldn't find the person, so they demolished it first!
"Now … the team is gone. Even if the person came back, the house would definitely not be found …"
Zhao Yu and Miao Ying looked at each other. Obviously, they had found the right person. Fan Deming's son was most likely the real murderer of the well case!
"Then …" Zhao Yu thought for a while, then asked Fan Dewei, "Can you remember what kind of business Fan Deming's son was doing?"
"This … Mm …" Fan Dewei hit his forehead with his fist and tried to recall for a long time. He then said, "I think … I think he was doing a big business in Mengxiang, but I'm not sure if it was cattle or milk!"
Wow …
Hearing this, Zhao Yu and Miao Ying both gasped in surprise.
In this way, all the information matched, and they were almost certain that Fan Deming's son was the murderer they were looking for.
"Old man," Miao Ying quickly asked, "Can you tell me more about Fan Deming's son? How old was he when he went missing?"
"Mm … I think he was about twenty-five or twenty-six?" Fan Dewei did some calculations and said, "Now, he should be a man in his fifties!"
Oh …
A man in his fifties would still have a certain level of criminal ability.
"Then … Do you still have any photos of him?" Zhao Yu asked.
"No. Although Fan Deming is my uncle, he doesn't walk around much!" Fan Dewei answered.
"Then …" Zhao Yu asked again, "Does he have any relatives? The kind that he is close to? "
"No, no …" Fan Deming shook his head and said, "If he had a lot of relatives, would he have adopted a son?"
That's true …
Zhao Yu had to admit that if someone still cared about Fan Deming's family, someone would have reported them missing.
"But …" Miao Ying asked, "What about Fan Deming's daughter-in-law? Didn't anyone look for her? "
Miao Ying asked. "Aiyo, you're stumping me." Fan Dewei waved his hand. "I'm a little familiar with Fan Deming, but I really don't know much about his son and daughter-in-law …"
"If that's the case …" Zhao Yu asked again, "Have you heard that anyone has seen Fan Deming's son recently?"
Fan Deming smiled helplessly. "It's been almost thirty years. Even if Fan Deming's son was standing in front of me now, I wouldn't be able to recognize him!"
"Okay!" Zhao Yu said. "If that's the case, let's stop here!" Then, he handed the old man a business card. "You go back and ask your relatives and friends. If you get any information about Fan Deming's son, remember to tell us!
"This is very important. Do you understand?"
"Okay, okay …" Fan Deming put Zhao Yu's business card in his pocket, then lit a cigarette and went to the chess room to play mahjong.
"I found the information." Miao Ying immediately showed Zhao Yu the information on her phone. "His name is Fan Zhenguo, but the information in the file is all from before 1992."
"This means …" Zhao Yu said. "This person has changed his identity!"
Zhao Yu looked at the picture on the phone carefully, but because of the age, the picture was very blurred. He could only see that Fan Zhenguo's face was thin and he had a beard.
"I'll inform the Zhangze Police Station and Luolong Police Station to catch the suspect!" Miao Ying said.
Zhao Yu said, "It's best if we get our portrait expert to come up with a picture of Fan Zhenguo's current appearance!
Otherwise … His identity has changed, and so has his appearance. It will be very difficult to catch him! "
"Mm …" Miao Ying nodded. "Leave it to me. I'll make the call now! Then … What about the two of us? Do we stay here and wait for the arrest? "
"No!" Zhao Yu said decisively. "Fan Zhenguo has already taken his revenge. The possibility of him staying in Luolong is not high!"
"Then …"
"Let's go to Fu An!" Zhao Yu said. "Remember what Fan Dewei said? Fan Zhenguo might have made a fortune by raising cattle?"
"Oh, you mean …" Miao Ying said. "The cattle farm is the key to the well case! After all, three of the four victims in the well case are related to the cattle farm? "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu said. "If we want to catch Fan Zhenguo and find out where he went, we have to figure out the whole thing!
Let's find out what happened to him back then! "
