Oh, and the waiter...

Chapter 155 The Fugitive Under Surveillance

Wang Shen remained silent for a moment, then voiced his guess: "Was the deceased's name Tang Feng?"

Upon hearing the name, Liang Zichen did not respond immediately, remaining silent for a while before whispering, "Yes."

"Okay, I'll be right back at the police station. Wait for me." Wang Shen hung up the phone.

Wang Shen looked up at Wu Yi, who smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will inform you of the autopsy results of the newly delivered deceased as soon as possible."

Wang Shen thanked Wu Yi and left his office, driving directly back to the police station. When Wang Shen opened the office door, he found Liang Zichen already waiting for him inside.

"Captain Wang, this is the information on the deceased, Tang Feng." Liang Zichen saw Wang Shen enter the office and immediately stood up from his chair, handing Wang Shen Tang Feng's file.

After receiving Tang Feng's file, Wang Shen immediately began to peruse it. Self-media company owner, unmarried, young and promising, with a respectable family background—these were the words Wang Shen mentally used to describe Tang Feng after reviewing the information. Wang Shen closed Tang Feng's file and gently placed it on the table.

"It seems the information provided to us by the lady from the 'Orphanage Care' that day was absolutely correct," Wang Shen said, taking a deep breath and looking at Liang Zichen.

Liang Zichen nodded. "Tang Feng's love for Zhao Zimo seems to be very deep. Giving up the person he loves most and still protecting her, even everything related to her. This is not something an ordinary person can do."

"Tang Feng must be the person Han Lin trusted, so besides Han Lin himself, Tang Feng would often go to take care of Dean Fu Ju and Han Lin's children. It's just that Tang Feng had bad luck when he went there a couple of days ago, which led to his death."

After listening to Wang Shen's words, a question suddenly arose in Liang Zichen's mind. "Captain Wang, I have a question. Do you think Tang Feng would know about the entanglement between the murderer and Han Lin?"

After listening to Liang Zichen's question, Wang Shen fell into deep thought. He kept stroking his chin, and after a while, he shook his head and said, "I don't think Han Lin told Tang Feng about his entanglement with the murderer."

After saying this, Wang Shen walked to the water dispenser, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp. "Think about it, based on our current analysis, Tang Feng entered Dean Fu Ju's house without realizing it. Then, he encountered the murderer face-to-face. I think it's all a coincidence."

After listening to Wang Shen's words, Liang Zichen thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, if Tang Feng knew about the entanglement between Han Lin and the murderer, then Tang Feng must have known that Dean Fu Ju and the child were in a very dangerous situation. Thinking about it this way, according to our calculation of the time of the crime, a whole day has passed since Han Lin died. If Tang Feng knew everything, he would have moved and protected Dean Fu Ju and the child long ago, instead of waiting for the murderer to come knocking."

Wang Shen listened to Liang Zichen's analysis while nodding.

“Now that we’ve confirmed the deceased is Tang Feng, our next step is to find the mastermind behind this. I just got back from Wu Yi’s place. The blood samples we collected at the scene came from three people, one of whom was Tang Feng. I think one of the remaining two blood samples is definitely from the murderer.” As he spoke, Wang Shen took the two blood sample data sheets he had obtained from Wu Yi from his pocket and threw them onto the table.

"By the way, were any fingerprints collected at the scene?" Wang Shen glanced at Liang Zichen and continued to ask.

"We haven't received any news from the forensic department yet." Just as Liang Zichen finished speaking, the phone in Wang Shen's office rang.

Wang Shen and Liang Zichen exchanged a glance, then picked up the phone: "Hello? Is that so? Okay, I understand."

Wang Shen said a few words briefly and then hung up the phone.

"Captain Wang, is there any new development?" Liang Zichen asked, noticing Wang Shen's slightly furrowed brows.

“I had them search the fishpond, and they found a small hammer. I had them compare the hammer with the wound on Tang Feng’s head, but we haven’t found anything yet. However, I think the hammer is the murder weapon. But it’s been in the fishpond for so long, it probably won’t provide us with any more clues.” Wang Shen sounded a little disappointed as he spoke.

"Also, how's the CCTV footage I asked you to retrieve going? Did you find anything?"

“The surveillance cameras aren’t in our jurisdiction. I contacted the department that has jurisdiction over the cameras, and they just delivered the ones we requested.” Liang Zichen shook his head slightly, indicating that he hadn’t yet reviewed the relevant footage.

“The surveillance cameras are already here? That’s great. Anyway, we don’t have anything else to do right now. Why don’t we go and take a look at the footage?” With that, Wang Shen left the office first and headed towards the video room.

A while later, Liang Zichen ran to the video room with the memory card in his hand. "Captain Wang, they've marked the locations of all the cameras. Which one should we watch first?"

“Let’s look at the surveillance camera closest to the house first,” Wang Shen replied decisively.

Liang Zichen walked to the audio-visual equipment, inserted the memory card, and soon the surveillance footage appeared on the screen. The area around that provincial highway was sparsely populated, with even few vehicles passing by. When the time on the footage showed 9:35 AM yesterday, the key figure appeared.

"Captain Wang, look! An old man is holding a child!" Liang Zichen shouted excitedly, pointing at the surveillance footage.

Wang Shen naturally saw the old man and the child. He immediately stood up from his chair, took two steps towards the screen, and then called out, "Stop!"

Liang Zichen immediately pressed the pause button, and the image froze.

"Zichen, zoom in on the image," Wang Shen instructed.

Following Wang Shen's instructions, Liang Zichen zoomed in on the image. The image of the elderly woman holding the child now almost filled the entire screen.

"Captain Wang, do you think these two people are Dean Fu Ju and Han Lin's children?" Liang Zichen asked, staring at the screen.

“It must be. Take a close look at these two people in the picture; they've given us so many clues,” Wang Shen reminded Liang Zichen as he carefully observed the scene.

"The old woman was running while carrying the child, glancing back frequently as she ran. The house was behind her, indicating they were running from that direction. The old woman's expression clearly showed panic and helplessness. All of this suggests she must have encountered something terrible. And this terrible thing must be the killer's pursuit. Therefore, they must be Dean Fu Ju and Han Lin's child." Liang Zichen stared at the screen and then stated all his deductions.

“That’s absolutely right, but you’ve overlooked one thing. Take a closer look at the arm the old man is using to hold the child.” Wang Shen nodded repeatedly as he listened to Liang Zichen’s words, then added another suggestion.
