Chapter 643 - 587: Send Him to His Death
Regarding the death of Jiao Lina, the Zhang Family were all tight-lipped.
However, after a detailed analysis of the case, the members of the Cold Case Squad realized that the only ones qualified to keep mum were Zhang Enfan’s maternal aunt, Zhang Xiulan, and her family. This included Zhang Xiulan and her husband, their son and daughter, and their little nephew Zhang Haobin.
The rest of the family didn’t know the details. All the information came from Zhang Xiulan and her people.
On the day of Jiao Lina’s death, only Zhang Haobin was by her side.
Zhang Haobin had called Zhang Xiulan—she was the one who raised him, as Zhang Haobin’s parents had been working out of town for years. They only returned after Zhang Enfan’s "career was successful".
Zhang Xiulan did not make a big fuss to notify others, instead, she just called her own husband, son, and daughter. She didn’t even call the son’s wife or the daughter’s boyfriend. Just by themselves, they dragged Jiao Lina back to the small restaurant, which was also the temporary gambling house.
The reason for not dragging her back to the village but instead to the small restaurant was very sufficient.
Firstly, they were closer to the small restaurant at the time. It was also more remote and easier to control. For the Zhang family, they could go directly into the backyard, invisible to anyone.
Secondly, Jiao Lina had tens of thousands of cash on her, which even for a small gambling house was not a small sum. For a gambler blinded by losing, that amount could lead to a fight to the death.
Even among the members of the Zhang family, there were many who were no-gooders. Even those who helped with the gambling business, earning only twenty to thirty thousand a month, could become envious at the sight of tens of thousands in cash. Most importantly, what if there were mistakes in the accounting and it caused trouble for fellow family member Zhang Haobin or Zhang Xiulan?
