Chapter 1455 Li Yang's explanation
The team members have also made some progress in finding Zhao Yu's work. Through cooperation with the police in the surrounding cities, they found that Zhao Yu had checked in at a small hotel in a neighboring city before he disappeared. The team members quickly rushed to the hotel and asked the boss.
"There is such a person who stayed there for two days and left." The boss recalled, "He wore a hat and a mask, rarely communicated with people, and seemed very alert. When he left, he specifically told me not to tell others that he had been here."
"Has he left anything? Or had he said something?" asked the team member.
"He left in a hurry and didn't leave anything behind. However, when he was calling, I seemed to hear him say something like 'What to do if the matter is exposed,'" the boss said.
Although this clue did not directly point to Zhao Yu's whereabouts, it provided a new direction for the investigation. The team members continued to conduct investigations in neighboring cities and visited residents and businesses around them, hoping to find more clues about Zhao Yu.
As the investigation deepens, more and more clues gradually emerge. Although Zhao Yu has not been found and there is no ironclad evidence of Li Yang's crime, Lu Chuan and his team members firmly believe that as long as they persevere, they will definitely reveal the truth of the case and bring criminals to justice. In this battle with sin, they will continue to do their best to protect the peace and justice of society.
In the next few days, the investigation entered a white-hot stage. The search scope of Li Yang continued to expand, and the police laid a net of heaven and earth where he might appear. Although the clues about Zhao Yu were progressing slowly, the team members did not slacken at all. They carefully analyze every clue and do not miss any possible details.
One day, the team members responsible for investigating Zhao Yu's communication records made new discoveries: "Lu Zhi, we found that Zhao Yu had multiple calls with an unfamiliar number before he disappeared. This number was a newly-appointed mobile phone number and had no real name registration, but the call locations were all in a remote area of the city."
Lu Chuan immediately ordered: "Investigate the surveillance video of this area to see if clues related to Zhao Yu can be found. In addition, arrange personnel to investigate this area, and maybe he will hide there."
The team members acted quickly. After careful examination of the surveillance video, they found that a person with a figure similar to Zhao Yu had appeared in that remote area. Although the picture was blurry, Lu Chuan and his team members decided to go to that area to conduct an investigation.
When they came to that remote area, they found that it was an old residential area with dilapidated houses and complicated personnel. The team members visited door to door and asked the residents if they had seen Zhao Yu. When visiting a family, an old man recalled: "A few days ago, there seemed to be a stranger who came here. He looked very panicked. He walked around here for a few times before leaving."
Although this clue is vague, Lu Chuan and the team members did not give up. They continued to investigate the area and finally found some suspicious traces in an abandoned warehouse. There are some daily necessities in the warehouse and a photo of Zhao Yu.
"Lu Zhi, this is probably Zhao Yu's hiding place." The team member said excitedly, "Although others are no longer there, these traces indicate that he has been here before."
Lu Chuan nodded: "Continue to search and see if there are any other clues. In addition, increase the search for surrounding areas, Zhao Yu is likely to be still nearby."
Just as Lu Chuan and his team members were looking for Zhao Yu, there was a major breakthrough in Li Yang's investigation and interrogation.
In the interrogation room of the Criminal Investigation Detachment, the lights were pale and dazzling, shining directly on Li Yang's pale and haggard face. Li Yang sat on the interrogation chair, his hands were handcuffed to the table. He lowered his head and did not dare to look directly at Lu Chuan and Wang Shuai opposite him. After many days of pursuit, the police finally captured Li Yang in a remote abandoned factory. At this moment, this person shrouded in the shadow of crime is about to face a trial by law.
Lu Chuan stared at Li Yang with a low voice but unquestionable majesty: "Li Yang, now, don't struggle anymore, and explain everything you know clearly." Li Yang's body trembled slightly, and he slowly raised his head, his eyes full of fear and despair: "I...I know I can't hide it anymore, I will explain."
Wang Shuai snorted coldly: "It should have been like this long ago. Don't be too late. Start with your smuggling electronic components."
Li Yang took a deep breath and began to tell the dark past: "Five years ago, Zhao Yu and I opened a factory together. At first, we really wanted to do business seriously. But later, the business became more and more difficult and we lost a lot of money. At this time, Zhao Yu contacted a smuggling gang from somewhere, saying that as long as you follow them and help smuggle electronic components, you can make a lot of money."
Lu Chuan frowned and asked, "How does it work?"
Li Yang licked his dry lips and continued, "They transport the goods to China. We are responsible for finding buyers and then selling the goods. The purchase price of these electronic components is very low abroad. Once they change hands in China, they can increase the price several times. Each transaction is partly given to the smuggling gangs and partly we have."
"Do you know that this is illegal?" Wang Shuai accused angrily.
Li Yang lowered his head and stammered: "We...we were obsessed with it at that time, and we just wanted to make money, and we didn't think so much about it."
"What happened later? Why did it develop to the point of murder?" Lu Chuan's eyes revealed sharpness and scrutiny.
A painful expression appeared on Li Yang's face. He was silent for a moment, as if he was making the final struggle. Finally, he slowly spoke: "Later, we made more and more money, but the conflicts became increasingly greater. Because of the matter of sharing the spoils, we had a dispute. The two deceased felt that they had the most efforts and should have more money. Zhao Yu and I disagree. We think that everyone has made contributions and should have equal parts. Because of this, we quarreled several times and the relationship became increasingly stiff."
"You are just killing me because of this?" Wang Shuai couldn't suppress the anger in his heart and slapped the table.

Li Yang's voice was crying: "It was Zhao Yu who proposed it. He said that those two people were too greedy, and it would be a problem to keep them sooner or later. It would be better to end it all. I disagreed at first, but Zhao Yu said that as long as they were solved, all the money would be ours. I... I was confused for a moment and agreed."
Lu Chuan looked at him coldly: "So you planned those two fires?"
Li Yang nodded, tears slid down his cheeks: "Zhao Yu said that it is not easy for fire to leave evidence. Even if the police investigate, it is difficult to find our heads. When we chose them to live alone, we would pry open the door and pour gasoline on while they were sleeping, and then..." Li Yang said this, his voice choked and could no longer say anything.
