If Zuo Yi's hypothesis is true, then Aunt Zhou's motives for doing everything can be summed up in two words—inheritance.
"Go and ask Aunt Zhou, I may be going out of town soon." Zuo Yi said, stood up from the chair, and walked out the door. Li Xinran hurriedly packed up his things, and chased after him: "Boss, where do you want you to go?"
"City D."
Ye Zhen Zhen was still waiting in the corridor, feeling a little uneasy. Although she didn't know Zhou Wen for a long time, she always thought that she was a reliable person and never thought that she was also related to this case.
She looked up to the corner again, and Zhou Wen just came out from there. Zhou Wen paused subconsciously when she saw Ye Zhen Zhen, obviously she did not expect to meet her here. Ye Zhen Zhen saw that she didn't speak, Zhou Wen walked up to her and smiled apologetically at her: "I'm sorry, I lied earlier."
Although she knew that the person in front of her was not Ye Zhenzhen, she felt guilty for no reason when she faced her: "Do you still remember that conversation you heard outside the kitchen? At that time, my mother and I had an argument because it was for her False testimony." She looked at Ye Zhen Zhen, as if she wanted to explain something, "But she said that Mr. Ye was not killed by her, I believe her."
Ye Zhen Zhen pursed her lips and didn't answer, she couldn't trust Aunt Zhou like Zhou Wen did, no matter when she was at Ye's house or now.
Perhaps seeing Ye Zhen Zhen's thoughts, Zhou Wen smiled sadly: "I'm sorry." She apologized again, and walked around Ye Zhen Zhen.
Ye Zhenzhen stood alone in the corridor for a while, Zuo Yi and Li Xinran also appeared around the corner. Seeing Zuo Yi, she subconsciously called out: "Officer Zuo."
Zuo Yi nodded to her, and walked up: "I will scan that picture and send it to the police in City D, asking them to help with the investigation."
"Ok."
It seemed that Ye Zhen Zhen's tone was too listless, Zuo Yi couldn't help asking: "What's wrong?"
Ye Zhen Zhen shook her head: "It's nothing."
Zuo Yi looked at her for a while, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to go to D City? If you go to D City, you may have unexpected gains."
Ye Zhen Zhen's eyes flickered, she looked at the person opposite her intently: "But didn't you let me leave City A?"
Zuo Yi hooked the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm planning to go to City D in a few days, do you want to go together?"
Like a child who was lured by beautifully colored candies, Ye Zhen Zhen subconsciously nodded. The corners of Zuo Yi's mouth turned up again, and Li Xinran who was standing by the side couldn't bear to look away.
It seemed to him that the Boss was like a happy kidnapper now.
"Then I'll let you know when I confirm the time. Let's go back today."
"Okay." Ye Zhen Zhen politely said goodbye to the two of them, then turned and left the police station.
"What an obedient child, it's like giving her a little red flower." Li Xinran looked at Ye Zhenzhen's back, and had automatically assumed the role of a kindergarten teacher.
Zuo Yi glanced sideways: "Why are you still standing here, didn't you ask you to bring Aunt Zhou for questioning?"
Li Xinran: "..."
He suddenly had a feeling that only state officials were allowed to set fires, and people were not allowed to light lamps.
Under Li Xinran's hard work, Aunt Zhou came to the police station before get off work. It was still the same interrogation room, with Zuo Yi and Li Xinran still, but facing Aunt Zhou, the whole atmosphere was different.
At least Li Xinran has never seen someone so calm when entering the interrogation room for the first time.
"Wenwen told the truth, I did leave at seven o'clock." Aunt Zhou sat upright on the chair and confessed to the lie she had told before.
Zuo Yi looked at her and asked, "Where did you go after you left?"
"I went straight back to Ye's house." Aunt Zhou glanced at him, her tone still not fluctuating, "It was not yet eight o'clock when I got home, and there was nothing unusual at home at that time. I went back to my room and planned to change my clothes I went to the master's room to have a look, but not long after I returned to the room, I heard the sound of arguing outside."
Zuo Yi frowned: "Have you heard who it is?"
"It's the voice of a man and a woman. The girl should be Miss. The boy's voice is rather vague. I'm not sure..." She paused here, then looked up at the person sitting opposite, "I just feel that it seems to be Qin Kong Master."
Li Xinran raised his head to look at Aunt Zhou after writing the word Qin Kong, and Zuo Yi nodded, signaling her to continue.
Aunt Zhou pursed her lips slightly, and continued: "I didn't care at the time, Miss and Master Qin Kong are young people, there will inevitably be friction, and you know, their relationship is not harmonious. But Miss and Qin Kong The young master is always an unmarried couple, and my status is not suitable to go up to persuade a fight, so I waited in the room for a while, and when there was no sound outside, I opened the door and went out. It was very quiet outside, and I saw a black figure flashing past Yes, I went to the back door. I was very puzzled at the time, and then I heard Mrs. Sun Qian screaming. I went to the stairs and saw that the lady was lying on the floor of the living room, and there was still a pool of blood on the ground. .”
Aunt Zhou finished speaking in one breath, and only the breathing of a few people could be heard in the entire interrogation room. Zuo Yi waited for her to slow down for a while before asking: "And then?"
"I was terrified at the time, and my first reaction was that the person just now pushed the lady down, so I quickly chased him in the direction he left."
Zuo Yi's eyes moved: "Didn't Sun Qian and Ye Kangping notice you?"
Aunt Zhou shook her head: "I shouldn't have noticed that the back door and the living room are in the opposite direction, and they were also frightened at the time, and they didn't pay attention to the surrounding situation at all."
Zuo Yi was silent for a while, and asked, "Have you caught up with that person?"
Aunt Zhou still shook her head: "He walked very fast, and I couldn't see anyone when I went out, but... I was knocked out when I passed the garden. "
Li Xinran: "..."
Such a case with twists and turns, there is a kind of artistic beauty, so beautiful that he wants to cry against the wind.
At this time, Zuo Yi is the only one who can keep his expression unchanged: "Have you seen the person who beat you clearly?"
"No, he knocked me out from behind, and it happened so suddenly that I didn't react at all. When I woke up, I noticed the time, and it was already nine o'clock. I was wondering why it hadn't happened after an hour The police are here. Although I don’t know why Mrs. Sun Qian and the others didn’t call the police, just to be on the safe side, I deliberately walked around from the back door to the front door, pretending that I just came back. When I entered the door, I saw that they were calling the police. Although I was puzzled, I pretended Do not know."
There was another long silence, Zuo Yi looked at Aunt Zhou for a long time, and finally said, "So you only saw the murderer's back from the beginning to the end?"
"Yes." Aunt Zhou nodded, "But during the time I passed out, I seemed to hear the sound of shoveling soil... It must be my illusion."
Shovel
Li Xinran stroked his chin, as if he was thinking about something, Zuo Yi lowered his eyes, and asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Why did you lie when I first asked you about your statement?"
Aunt Zhou seemed to have known that he would ask such a question, and quickly replied: "Because I don't want to be suspected of being a murderer, what I said just now doesn't sound very credible to me, let alone The police. But it's true."
Zuo Yi looked at her, his eyebrows moved: "The last question, what is the relationship between Ye Hongsheng and you?"
Aunt Zhou's expression finally fluctuated, but she quickly calmed down again: "Employment relationship."
Zuo Yi buried his head and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked people to take Aunt Zhou out.
Li Xinran flipped through the notes he wrote just now, and asked Zuo Yi, "Boss, do you think her words are credible?"
Zuo Yi leaned back on the chair lazily and closed his eyes: "Her testimony is leading us to suspect two people."
"Qin Kong and Wang Ergou?"
Zuo Yi opened his eyes and glanced at him in surprise: "You finally look like someone who graduated from a police academy."
Li Xinran: "..."
He decided to ignore Zuo Yi's words, and said to himself: "Did someone really knock her out? If not, what has she been doing for an hour?"
"Maybe... nothing."
"Didn't do anything?" Li Xinran frowned, and quickly went through the whole case in his mind, "According to your assumption, Aunt Zhou's motive for her actions was inheritance, so explain it at this time and explain it at the very beginning. , is there any difference?" If Zhou Wen was called to surrender herself, then the reason she said that she was afraid of being suspected of being a murderer would not hold water at all. But why choose this time to expose yourself
"Have you ever heard an old saying?" Zuo Yi suddenly glanced at him, "Make a decision before acting."
Li Xinran twitched the corners of his mouth: "Boss, such polite words are not at all suitable for you to say, the effect is a bit scary."
Zuo Yi hooked the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that made him even more horrified: "At this time, she must think that this is the best time to maximize her interests."
Li Xinran suddenly remembered what Zuo Yi said to him before to lure snakes out of their holes, and he had a feeling that everyone was being tricked by Zuo Yi: "Boss, did I tell you that sometimes you are really scary? "
"I've heard this more than 60,000 times." Zuo Yi stood up from his chair and walked outside the door, "I'm going to City D the day after tomorrow, so I'll leave this place to you."
"Ah, boss, you can't leave us behind!" He really couldn't hold this case.
"Tomorrow, I'll go to the brothers of the Qin family and ask about Ye Zhenzhen's identity. How's the investigation going?"
"I still haven't found it. Boss, why don't you think about taking Ye Zhen Zhen to City D instead?"
"If you're not afraid of being dissected by Doctor Ji, then go."
Li Xinran: "..."
He fears.
