Chapter 171

After a while, Wang Hanshuang's voice finally came from the phone. It was a little hard, as if it had been rubbed by sandpaper:

"Chang Ting... Xiao Ping always told me about interesting things in school. I remember you as the kid who was punished by the school for fighting."

The meeting room was very quiet. My colleagues were all listening attentively and trying to hold back their laughter.

"..." Chang Ting glanced back at everyone, then turned away awkwardly, "Aunt Wang, I'm a police officer now. Please believe that we will do our best to seek justice for Lu Shuping."

"Ah? How can we get justice? Can't we just shoot all the bad guys?"

Wang Hanshuang's voice was brisk, but Chang Ting could hear a hidden meaning. Wang Hanshuang wanted to kill Zhu Zangmo and his men.

The sentencing of a suspect after arrest is not determined by the police. It is determined by the court according to law.

As things stand, the chain of evidence is quite incomplete and key links are still broken.

After counting and counting, all we have obtained is Qiu Yue’s Weibo accusation, and the electronic evidence is difficult to prove.

For the three suspects involved in the case, let alone the death penalty, it is possible that they will be acquitted if no strong evidence is found in the next step.

Chang Ting could not make any promises, but could only say: "We will do our best to collect evidence to support a strict sentence."

Wang Hanshuang smiled again, her tone indifferent, as if she had no hope in the first place: "The more evil the person, the harder it is to kill him. Auntie understands."

She said to him perfunctorily, "Don't work too hard, be careful, and let's stop here..."

It means to end the conversation.

Chang Ting interrupted, "You should know that Song Zhou, like you, is also a relative of the murdered girl. He has been missing for seven days."

Wang Hanshuang's voice was cold: "I said, I don't know this person."

"Give me a definite answer first. Is Song Zhou still alive?"

Wang Hanshuang paused and said with a smile, "What are you talking about, kid? It's scary. Whoever he is, he must be alive."

Chang Ting felt relieved. He asked again, "Then, is he in danger?"

Wang Hanshuang was silent for a moment before she said, "I don't know." Her words were deep and slow.

Chang Ting's heart sank.

Wang Hanshuang gave a vague answer: Song Zhou is still alive, but in danger.

Chang Ting cleared his dry throat and asked, "Did you install the hidden camera in Zhu Zangmo's house?"

Wang Hanshuang replied dryly, "It's not me."

Then he stopped talking.

After the sound of the car door opening and closing, Zhou Zhengzheng's voice was heard: "Master, judging from her expression when she answered the question, what she said about Song Zhou being alive and the camera not being installed by her doesn't seem like a lie."

Chang Ting hesitated for a moment and said, "She didn't install the camera, but she wasn't surprised. She obviously knew about it."

"Also..." Zhou Zhengzheng's tone was a little serious, "When you asked 'Is Song Zhou in danger?', her expression was very strange, even a little fierce."

Chang Ting felt a chill in his heart: "Vicious..."

Zhou Zhengzheng could hear footsteps pacing. "Wang Hanshuang seems simple at first glance, but the more you get to know her, the more you realize she's scheming. Did you know her before?"

Chang Ting suppressed his breath and said, "I never met her when I was in school, so I don't know what kind of person she is. Perhaps, no matter what kind of person she was before, after Lu Shuping's accident, she is no longer the same person as before."

So Wang Nuanshi became Wang Hanshuang, from warm to cold, from gentle to fierce.

Zhou Zhengzheng said worriedly, "I'm so confused, Master. Which side is she on? Is she an accomplice or an avenger?"

Chang Ting thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps, he is both an accomplice and an avenger."

Chang Ting leaned his elbows on the windowsill, pressed his eyebrows together and closed his eyes. He felt the chaos in his heart slowly crack, and he saw a clue:

"She is Lu Shuping's mother. As long as this premise is there, it can be inferred that all her deliberate schemes are for Lu Shuping.

"I guess Wang Hanshuang's return to her hometown this time wasn't to escape, but to visit relatives one last time and say goodbye to friends and family."

Zhou Zhengzheng repeated in surprise: "Goodbye?"

Chang Ting: "She's setting a trap. A trap where you're like a moth to a flame, with no way back. But she's dragged Song Zhou along."

"It's understandable emotionally that a mother would do whatever it takes to avenge her daughter. But she shouldn't have dragged Song Zhou into this."

Chang Ting took a deep breath, the glass in front of him blurring out. "Zhou Zhengzheng, bring the person back and try to get as much information as you can on the way.

"But the most important thing is to keep an eye on her and prevent her from harming herself. If necessary... use restraints."

Zhou Zhengzheng tensed up: "I understand, Master."

After the call, Chang Ting felt bad. He leaned against the windowsill for a while, his head down, before he recovered.

When I turned around, my colleagues on both sides of the conference room table were looking at me.

Then I remembered that we were in the conference room.

He turned back stiffly, leaning on the windowsill and rubbing his head awkwardly.

There are many clues in the current situation, but none of them have been fully understood. What we need now is a breakthrough to break the deadlock. A...

At this moment, my phone vibrated. I picked it up and saw that Chen He had sent me a long string of pictures. They were the drafts of the "Nightmare Cage" that I had just finished.

He suddenly stood up straight: "Here comes the pillow!"

I quickly flipped through the comics.

After watching it, I sighed: "When it comes to perversion, who can compete with Teacher Chen?"

His colleagues came up to him and wanted to read the comics, but he pushed them away impatiently: "You can read it online later!"

My colleagues were all dissatisfied: "You have to top up your account to watch online videos..."

Someone remembered: "Zhang You has subscribed to the membership!"

Zhang You held his phone in his arms: "It hasn't been updated online yet..."

Chang Ting hid aside and made a phone call: "Chen He, your cartoon means that Fu Weiru will kill Zhu Zangmo in the small building at the base, and then Fu Weiru will be silenced by Lu Dun? Is the small building the place where their decisive battle will take place?"

"The small building is just an image. It doesn't mean it will happen there. Don't put too much faith in me, Officer Chang."

Chen He's voice was weak in the receiver. "And at the end, I wasn't sure who was hiding the most behind the scenes. It was you who told me that Fu Weiru and Lu Dun were involved, so I mentioned Lu Dun's name.

"I'm so sleepy now. My brain has turned to cement and I can't think anymore... The drawings have been sent to the editor and will be published tomorrow morning. You'd better..."

Then there was no sound, probably he fell into a deep sleep.

It was supposed to be at least ten days' work, but she finished it in just over three days, without stopping for even a moment.

"Tsk tsk, look how tired the child is."

Chang Ting tapped the table, called out to his colleagues, and quickly made arrangements. Plainclothes officers were deployed to the three most likely locations for an incident: near the base building, Zhu's residential complex, and Lü Dun's residential complex.

At midnight, a large van pulled up near the gate of Zhujia Community. Inside the modified van was a set of monitoring equipment.

The police have begun monitoring the cell phones of Fu Weiru, Zhu Zangmo and Lu Dun.

In the community, half of the security guards, cleaners, and property management staff were replaced by police officers overnight.

Chang Ting and Zhang You looked very familiar, so they stayed in the van and monitored the situation.

As the morning light streamed through the car window, "Nightmare Cage" was released on the comics platform.

Zhang You had already seen the draft on Chang Ting's phone, and as soon as it was posted online, he couldn't wait to see it again.

The platform's traffic surged in a short period of time, and it crashed several times before it was refreshed.

The comic directly mentioned three real names: Zhu Zangmo, Fu Weiru, and Lu Dun.

Like a thunderclap, it exploded across the internet, with expressions of surprise, outrage, sympathy, and even doubt.

The online response was overwhelming, and the three people's backgrounds were dug up again and again. Not only were more and more bad deeds from their early years exposed, but even their ancestors were dug up and made public.

"Is it exciting?" Chang Ting asked Zhang You, and at the same time reached out calmly and took the hand warmer from Zhang You's knee.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion, the van was not started and the heater was not turned on, and the cabin was as cold as an ice cellar.

Zhang You couldn't take his eyes off it and nodded repeatedly: "How perverted, I love it!"

Chang Ting warmed his hands, squinting his eyes in the warmth: "I'm sure the three parties involved will like it too."

At the end of the "Nightmare Cage" chapter, Chen He designed a scene where three people killed each other.

What a divisive move.

The readers' hairs stand on end. How should they feel at this moment? Anger, fear, or mutual suspicion?

It's impossible to sit still anyway.

As long as they move, the deadlock can be broken.

But the other party was very patient and did not make any move until the afternoon.
