Tong Meng finally decided to come forward and accuse Qiao Huali.
Her resolve to report him was further strengthened when she heard that Qiao Huali had been released due to a lack of evidence.
If Qiao Huali lived, then she would die.
Tong Meng's appearance was the last straw for Qiao Huali. He was still leisurely drinking tea at home when Hu Jia burst in and pulled him up from the sofa.
"Are you really Sixth Master?" Hu Jia asked.
"I told you before, he is Sixth Master!" Ouyang Wen replied.
Ouyang Wen was also very frustrated because every time Hu Jia woke up, he would grieve, feel sad, and get angry again about Qiao Huali being Sixth Master.
"Xiao Jia, do you believe him?" Qiao Huali looked at Hu Jia.
"I believe in evidence." Hu Jia threw all of Tong Meng's evidence in front of Qiao Huali.
Qiao Huali picked up the evidence and glanced at it, his face immediately changing drastically. Tong Meng had been caught. "Hahaha, this is just her one-sided story. Words are not proof. What substantial evidence can he produce besides this?"
Qiao Huali quickly calmed down.
"Then look at this." Hu Jia placed another piece of evidence in front of Qiao Huali.
Qiao Huali saw that it was a photograph, including pictures of Qiao Huali wearing Sixth Master's long robe and cloth shoes. Additionally, Tong Meng, using her identity as "the one who wields the knife," had backed up all the actions the Dao Ren organization had committed over the years.
Each incident, one by one, was clearly recorded. kuAiδugg
"Finally, your safe," Lv Qingqing said. "If it weren't for Tang Yinge leading the way, we wouldn't have known there was a hidden compartment beneath your headboard, containing a large-bellied pistol."
"Tang Yinge?" Qiao Huali was shocked. He hadn't expected them to break Tang Yinge's silence.
After Tong Meng confessed, although there was already enough evidence to ascertain Qiao Huali's identity, they still lacked more information about the shooting incident ten years ago.
At this moment, Tong Meng spoke, "I have a way to make him talk."
Tong Meng said that the reason Tang Yinge was so stubborn and refused to betray Qiao Huali was not only because Qiao Huali had shown him great kindness back then, but also because Qiao Huali held the lives of Tang Yinge's family, young and old, in his hands.
For this reason, Hu Jia and the others specifically found Tang Yinge, informed him that Qiao Huali could no longer cause trouble, and promised to protect Tang Yinge's family. Only then did Tang Yinge reveal everything he knew.
It turned out that when Qiao Huali founded the Dao Ren organization, his original intention was simply to use his police identity to cultivate a group of people to extort protection money.
However, during this process, he accidentally learned that Zhu Xuan and Huang Yawen were transporting a sum of money to Chongqing.
At first, he had no wicked intentions, but during a later mission, he conceived the idea of robbing Bai Runjia of his service pistol and using it to commit murder and robbery to frame someone else.
But he never expected that Bai Runjia would coincidentally die in action during that mission.
Now, his target for framing was gone, but he had the gun. It would be absurd not to rob the money.
Therefore, Qiao Huali went down a path of no return, committing heinous crimes.
After the incident, Qiao Huali was actually appointed as the leader of the task force investigating the shooting.
It is known that as the leader, he was privy to all the information the team members investigated and all the actions they planned.
"All the police officers at that time never expected it, but we knew every action and every piece of information they gathered. Sometimes, we even deliberately spread false information to further muddy the waters."
Tang Yinge said that it was precisely because Qiao Huali was obstructing and constantly leaking police operational information that the investigation of the shooting case was extremely difficult.
"As for your father, Hu Shilong, how he died, I don't know the details, but I know his death is related to Sixth Master."
Tang Yinge finished telling everything he knew. Hu Jia stood before Qiao Huali with this testimony, "My father truly considered you a brother, but he never expected to die at your hands, did he?"
Qiao Huali looked at Tang Yinge's testimony and listened to Hu Jia's accusations, a weariness gradually appearing on his face.
Finally, he slumped powerlessly onto the sofa.
"Yes, everything was so perfect, so flawless. But I never expected that Shilong would eventually find the evidence."
Qiao Huali's expression was unreadable, a mixture of reminiscence, regret, and sorrow.
He said that once, Hu Shilong was following a Dao Ren when he accidentally ran into Sixth Master meeting with that Dao Ren. His appearance disrupted Qiao Huali's plans.
"I could have killed him that time, but I didn't. I was indeed too soft-hearted." Facing all the evidence, Qiao Huali finally gave up resisting. When mentioning Hu Shilong, Qiao Huali still looked deeply at Hu Jia.
"I was wearing a mask then, and I don't know if Hu Shilong recognized me. Because I intended to let him go, and I also didn't dare to fight him, he seized the opportunity to snatch the police pistol numbered 47881." Qiao Huali said that it was precisely because of that police pistol that Hu Shilong got closer and closer to the truth.
And it was because he was close to the truth that Hu Shilong met his end.
Qiao Huali said that after Hu Shilong got the gun, he secretly investigated the case. But Qiao Huali was unaware of all this.
He thought Hu Shilong had not discovered the secret of the large-bellied pistol.
During this period, Qiao Huali repeatedly sent Dao Ren to search for the gun. "Do you know? During this period, I had many opportunities to kill Hu Shilong and eliminate all trouble, but I still didn't do it. I always remembered that he saved my life on the battlefield back then."
"Nonsense! You're just finding an excuse for your actions. My father saved Qiao Huali back then, not Sixth Master, who is covered in blood." Hu Jia said angrily. "My father left a total of four sentences, but he happened to tell you one of them, which shows he never suspected you."
Hu Shilong considered Qiao Huali a brother until his death.
He was the person he trusted the most.
"Hahaha." This statement might have struck a nerve with Qiao Huali. "Yes, he trusted me until his death. If not for that trust, he might still be alive, but it was precisely because of that trust that he made me realize I had to get rid of him."
Qiao Huali said that he originally thought that as long as Hu Shilong couldn't find any clues, he would let him go.
But he didn't expect that one day Hu Shilong came to him, saying he suspected an insider in the police force, and informed Qiao Huali that he had found the murder weapon, and based on that weapon, he determined that the shooting case was related to the Dao Ren.
Qiao Huali wanted Hu Shilong to hand over the murder weapon and suggested the entire task force investigate together, but Hu Shilong refused.
"He said the case was too dangerous and that anyone involved might not survive. Moreover, Huang Yawen had already told him the location of the hidden treasure, and he planned to use this treasure to lure out the mastermind." Qiao Huali looked at Hu Jia. "Do you know? At that time, your father was still thinking of protecting me, and Li Zhenhui, he didn't want us to get involved in this case, fearing we would get hurt."
"But what he shouldn't have done was tell me that he had already found the true hiding place of the treasure. I could give up that gun, but I couldn't give up the money."
