Uncle Hat suddenly appeared.
Zhou Na naturally wouldn't leave again, having vaguely guessed the reason behind it.
It's likely that Zhou Chen called the police!
Uncle Hat suspected Zhou Ling and came to investigate.
That is indeed the case.
After walking up to Zhou Ling, the man in the hat showed his ID and explained the situation, saying he wanted to ask Zhou Ling some questions.
Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun exchanged a glance. Zhao Kun nodded and said with a smile, "Sir, we are willing to cooperate. We believe that you will investigate thoroughly and not wrong an innocent person."
Zhou Na stood aside, and seeing Zhao Kun's eager cooperation, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She thought that Zhao Kun's easy-going nature must be unrelated to this matter; otherwise, he would definitely have tried to resist.
However,
Little did Zhou Na know that Zhao Kun was willing to cooperate because he had destroyed all the evidence and was fully confident in dealing with Uncle Hat's investigation.
Before sneaking to the cemetery, he covered himself up tightly to avoid being caught by Uncle Hat. He even deliberately bought shoes two sizes too big to make it harder for Uncle Hat to catch him. Without evidence, Uncle Hat couldn't convict him, and even if he suspected him, it wouldn't matter.
The questioning process took about half an hour.
As the second eldest sister, Zhou Na was also asked a lot of questions along with Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun.
"Where is your third brother, Zhou Chuan? Where did he go? Can you contact him? We also need to question him."
"Sir, we haven't heard from him for a long time, and we can't get in touch with him either."
Zhou Ling believes that Uncle Hat is using asking questions as an excuse to trick her into revealing Zhou Chuan's contact information so he can bring Zhou Chuan back.
Unfortunately, she saw through it at a glance.
Uncle Hat was indeed still thinking about Zhou Chuan. After Uncle Hat left, she would have to find a way to contact Zhou Chuan and tell him not to come back and to hide well.
It's all Zhou Chen's fault. If Zhou Chen had been willing to give money to Zhou Chuan, how could Zhou Chuan have gone astray, broken the law, and lived a life of hiding and running?
Zhou Ling was unaware that all of this she was thinking was unnecessary. There was no concrete evidence that Zhou Chuan was involved in the attack on Zhou Chen, and with Tiger already in jail, the matter was over and a thing of the past.
Only she and Zhou Chuan kept filling in the blanks in their own minds.
"This is a search warrant. We wish to search your home. Do you have any objections?"
After questioning, the man in the hat, who was in the lead, showed another badge, wanting to do a search rather than just listen to one side of the story.
As the top scorer in the provincial college entrance examination, Zhou Chen's case has once again gone viral online, attracting widespread attention and having an extremely negative impact. The authorities are taking this matter very seriously and are determined to find the culprit.
"Sir, we have nothing to hide, you are free to inspect us as you see fit."
Zhao Kun was more than happy for Uncle Hat to check. As long as he found nothing, he and Zhou Ling could basically clear their names completely and make Uncle Hat shift his attention to other people.
They are the safest, so they can just watch the show quietly.
Zhou Ling was not afraid either, because she knew that Zhao Kun had destroyed all the evidence and Uncle Hat would not be able to find anything.
Then, Uncle Hat went inside and searched the house.
"No suspicious items were found."
"We went to the other room too, but it wasn't there either."
The two inspectors gave a unified report.
Seeing this, Zhao Kun revealed a smug look on his face. "Sir, we have done nothing wrong, so we are not afraid of your search. If you still suspect that we are involved, you are welcome to check the yard as well."
"Okay, then let's check all the items in the yard."
When Zhao Kun reminded him, the man in the hat nodded and decided to check the yard himself.
The two men in hats immediately began inspecting the things in the yard, one on each side. Zhao Kun crossed his arms, looking completely unconcerned, and watched the men in hats do their futile work with a smile.
He threw away all his tools of the crime, and quite far away at that. They are probably already on a garbage truck and being sent to a garbage station for unified disposal.
Even if you turn the entire yard upside down, you won't find a single piece of evidence.
Just as Zhao Kun was feeling smug and thought his plan was foolproof,
Suddenly, an uncle wearing a hat came out of the warehouse, carrying a pair of military green cloth shoes and a black outfit.
"Report: Several suspicious items have been found. The shoe size of these shoes matches the size of the footprints verified at the scene."
Um?
Upon hearing this, the man in the hat, who was in the lead, immediately brightened up.
At this moment, Zhao Kun was completely dumbfounded.
His mind was filled with questions: Why did the things he had thrown away end up back in his house?
He clearly threw them away; it's impossible for these things to grow legs and come back on their own.
Or was it sent by the ghosts of Zhou Chen's parents, just to bring him to justice?
Thinking of this, Zhao Kun's hair stood on end instantly.
Why are these things in your house?
Uncle Hat looked at Zhou Ling and Zhao Kun again, questioning them with a serious expression.
"I……"
Zhao Kun couldn't explain for a moment, and Zhou Ling quickly explained, "Sir, those things don't belong to our family. My mother-in-law picked them up from outside."
Boom!
Zhao Kun realized that he had forgotten about this. His old mother went out every day to collect scraps and make money by selling them. He never expected that his mother would pick up the things he had thrown away.
Zhao Kun was speechless and frustrated.
He could have easily cleared his name, but instead, his mother presented the evidence to him.
Despite feeling like crying inside, Zhao Kun quickly composed himself, forced a smile, and stiffly explained, "This really doesn't belong to our family. My mother picked it up; she likes to collect scraps to sell for money."
Uncle Hat stared at Zhao Kun without saying anything.
Just as Zhao Kun finished explaining, he heard Old Mrs. Zhao's voice coming from the direction of the courtyard gate.
"What's going on? What did our family do wrong?"
"Sir, everyone in my family is a good person. No one in our family has broken the law. You must have made a mistake."
When Grandma Zhao saw Uncle Hat there, her expression changed drastically.
"Auntie, could you tell me what's going on with all this stuff? Please answer truthfully!"
When Uncle Hat asked about the things she had picked up, Grandma Zhao quickly explained, "I just thought they were in good condition and not damaged, and I thought I could still wear them, so I brought them back. Could it be that the owner of these clothes did something bad and you're suspecting my son, Xiao Kun?"
"I'm innocent! I swear, my son would never do anything illegal or disorderly. Besides, look at these shoes, they're way too big, completely different size from Xiao Kun's shoes. Who would wear ill-fitting shoes to break the law?"
Grandma Zhao thought she could clear Zhao Kun's name, but little did she know that her last words would immediately make Uncle Hat, the leader, realize something. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face.
Standing to the side, Zhao Kun noticed this subtle change and immediately had a bad feeling.
It seems he was ruined by his elderly mother.
