The Burning River 迷雾追踪 Episode 20

Lin Yuhong approached Zhao Wei and answered the reason for his investigation and monitoring: "Lin Yuhong suspects that Liang Jingqiu has been deceiving the police. The fact that Liang Jingqiu said Yang Yang died of illness on the hospital road is not true. It can be seen from the monitoring that Liang Jingqiu was not there. Instead of going to the hospital during the time period he said, he drove to his hometown. This shows that Yang Yang is also very likely not dead yet, but Yuan Xiaodong was eager to send him out.

Lin Yuhong and Zhao Wei returned to the interrogation room again and asked if Yang Yang was in Hejiang. Originally, on the surveillance video, Yuan Xiaodong captured a child in the vice seat in the video on the highway. However, Zhao Wei asked Liang Jingqiu about the details of the way to send Yang Yang to the hospital that day, but Liang Jingqiu asked three questions. After being questioned by the two, Liang Jingqiu's testimony was full of loopholes. Finally, under the fact that, Liang Jingqiu burst into tears again, and said that Yang Yang's situation was still groggy. When Zhao Wei asked how they divided the spoils, Liang Jingqiu denied Zhao Wei's "slander" against Yuan Xiaodong. He said to himself that everything happened: Yuan Xiaodong found Liang Jingqiu to treat Yang Yang. Yang Yang's condition was not serious, but everyone was afraid that He Wenjun, who had a cruel personality, would do more wrong things to Yang Yang. On the day Yuan Xiaodong killed He Wenjun, Yuan Xiaodong handed Yang Yang to Liang Jingqiu, confessing that Liang Jingqiu sent Yang Yang to the countryside and roared away Yao Jun. When Zhao Wei asked Yuan Xiaodong’s intentions, Liang Jingqiu said that Yuan Xiaodong’s nature is not bad and he studies very well. However, due to his parents’ neglect of discipline, and Yuan Xiaodong’s campus bullying, joining social gangs, and drugging, this completely led to a crooked road. Yuan Xiaodong wanted Yang Yang to escape such a rotten environment and not to follow his own path. Liang Jingqiu couldn't bear to watch Yuan Xiaodong fall and indulge, so she could only persuade her. Since Yuan Xiaodong experienced the Guizhou incident, Liang Jingqiu discovered that Yuan Xiaodong had changed his original nature. Although he had quit drugs, his whole person had become sluggish, suffering from depression, and even wanted to commit suicide. From then on, Yuan Xiaodong began to collect clues about Lin Yuhong, and even followed Lin Yuhong's place of residence. After hearing Liang Jingqiu's statement, Lin Yuhong discovered that Liang Jingqiu in front of him was probably deceived by Yuan Xiaodong's rhetoric, saying that it was all for Yang Yang, but it was most likely for his own benefit. Seeing Liang Jingqiu approaching hysterical denial, Lin Yuhong and Zhao Wei were also silent.

Lin Yuhong informed the Yang family that Yang Yang is likely to be still alive, and wanted to find clues about whether a relative he knew was in Hejiang, but the Yang family was still very unfamiliar with the place name Hejiang and could not provide any clues. In desperation, Lin Yuhong and others decided to contact the media to announce the latest case of Yang Yang's disappearance, to trigger Yuan Xiaodong's next move.

In the darkness, Yuan Xiaodong wearing a peaked cap gloomily watched Lin Yuhong's expression on the TV and carefully answered the camera. He turned around and took out the pistol from the closet, loaded it up, and took out the phone to contact the vehicle. When the sky was still faintly bright, he embarked on the journey back to Linchuan.
