Chapter 64 Hidden Motives [VIP]
Tang Zuo's answer was watertight.
Ziyu's sudden summons of Tang Zuo was entirely without reason, and coincidentally, the older police officer at the time inadvertently revealed his emotions, which led them to search for Tang Zuo.
Tang Zuo's questioning is now complete. He had no contact with any of the suspects, and those people looked at Tang Zuo with complete unfamiliarity.
No matter what, they had to let Tang Zuo go.
Tang Zuo left as always, still exuding elegance. He even had the leisure to say goodbye to Ziyu and Qin Yuzhen.
"As you've seen, he's not a suspect."
Xiao Sui shook his head, saying helplessly.
This case has reached another dead end.
The policewoman's name was Hu Yu. At this moment, her expression was also quite solemn. Unlike Xiao Sui, she was not naive. She always felt that the older policeman's expression at that time was definitely not fake.
But indeed, they no longer had the right to question him further.
"By the way, Mr. Ziyu," Xiao Sui said casually, "would you like to continue staying at the hotel near our police station? We can continue to send people to protect you."
Ziyu smiled and declined, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, I'll just go back with... my boyfriend."
When the word "boyfriend" was mentioned, Ziyu was a little dazed. In the past, they had always played the roles of a "scumbag top and submissive bottom" couple, and Ziyu had called Qin Yuzhen her boyfriend or lover countless times in the plot, but this time, he still paused.
Qin Yuzhen, quite naturally, took Ziyu's hand with his well-worn right hand.
"I'll find bodyguards, so I won't trouble you."
Xiao Sui quickly responded with a few "ohs".
Weren't we classmates just a few days ago? How did we become boyfriend?
Xiao Sui escorted the two to the door.
Ziyu stopped and tentatively asked Xiaosui, "By the way, what happened to those people who were arrested a few days ago?"
Xiao Sui was quite easygoing. Since it was someone involved asking the question, he simply said, "They are currently under surveillance. After all, it was premeditated murder, and they will all be sentenced. I just don't know how the court will rule."
Xiao Sui asked, "However, the sentencing is half up to you."
Ziyu and Qinyuzhen exchanged a glance.
Qin Yuzhen said, "We will investigate this to the end, and we will not let any of those who harmed Yuyu get away with it."
Xiao Sui: "That's true, after all, someone almost died. You guys still need to be careful!"
As they approached the gate, Ziyu remained calm and asked, "Do all these people have children or people they care about at home?"
Xiao Sui shook his head: "No, but coincidentally, most of them are orphans or from single-parent families. Occasionally there are a few families of three or four, but their family conditions don't seem to be very good."
Ziyu: "What about that police officer? Was he an orphan too?"
Xiao Sui, unsuspecting, said, "No, he has a child at home. I remember he used to have a pretty happy life. When I first started working here, he was the one who mentored me for a while. But lately, I don't know why, he's become so sinister, and he keeps talking about gods and ghosts!"
Xiao Sui got angry when she thought about it: "They must have been corrupted by these things! We are all materialists, how could we believe in these things?"
Ziyu met Qin Yuzhen's gaze again.
Ziyu asked, "Does the police officer live around here?"
Xiao Sui nodded: "He's a senior figure in the industry. He bought a house in this neighborhood, on a lower floor, so it's convenient for his kids to run around."
Having reached the door, Xiao Sui waved and said, "I won't see you off, bye-bye!"
Ziyu waved and said, "Bye-bye."
As Xiao Sui's figure receded into the distance, Zi Yu helped Qin Yu, whose left leg was injured, back to town.
Ziyu whispered, "There's only one residential complex nearby that's close to the police station. It's on a low floor, and the father is a single police officer. It should be easy to find him."
Qinyu Town had already sent this information to professionals.
He hasn't officially started his own business yet, nor has he broken ties with his family because of coming out. He can freely utilize all the resources of the Qin family.
Ziyu looked at Qin Yuzhen's left leg, which was struggling to walk, hailed a car, and went back to the hospital first.
"Take a look at your legs first."
*
After all, orthopedics is featured in the storyline, and the orthopedic treatments in the game's hospitals are exceptionally advanced.
It takes a hundred days to recover from a broken bone, but Qin Yuzhen was declared almost fully recovered after only a week in the hospital.
Ziyu was too lazy to complain about why the wounded shou (victim) needed so much treatment time.
However, he was still very happy that Qin Yuzhen had recovered from his injuries.
Because this means they finally have time to investigate the truth of the matter.
Whether it was because Tang Zuo was called to the police station once, which made the other party wary, or because it was not advisable to make a move in the hospital, in any case, Ziyu only encountered one or two premeditated murders in this week, both of which were attempts to kill him under the guise of so-called medical disputes.
But they were all stopped.
One of them seemed to be in poor mental condition. As the police took him away, he glared at Ziyu with hatred in his eyes, while repeatedly saying, "Why should you decide on divine punishment!"
It's "divine punishment" again.
Ziyu gently touched Qin Yuzhen's left leg, which was almost healed, but there was still a scar. The ceramic shard had been inserted into Qin Yuzhen's leg from such a height, and there had been many surgeries just to remove the ceramic shard, not to mention the debuff of a fracture.
Qinyu Town, however, was very fortunate.
This time, it was his leg that was injured, unlike in the previous two lives when Ziyu was injured and bedridden, suffering long-term effects.
Ziyu said, "Now that you're almost fully recovered, let's go to that policeman's house."
Qinyu Town retrieved the information sent by professionals from their mobile phones.
The professionals had already dug up the other party's home address, which was not very ethical, but the thought that it might involve a murder case made them feel a lot better.
Ziyu: "Then let's go find this place today."
*
Looking at the old door with its festive couplets and the small advertisements posted on the floor, a sense of ordinary, everyday life washes over you.
It's unbelievable that this is the home of a police officer who would poison others.
Ziyu knocked on the door.
"Is that Daddy?" A childish voice sounded from behind the door, tinged with fear.
"Dad? Is that you back?" the little boy asked again.
Ziyu glanced at Qin Yuzhen, who had a sullen face behind him, and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Qin Yuzhen spoke first: "We are police officers, open the door."
Ziyu looked at Qinyu Town with considerable shock.
This person actually makes up stories?
Under Ziyu's gaze, Qin Yuzhen pursed his lips and explained, "That's often the case in the business world."
Although that was him in my dream, it was pretty much the same.
Ziyu didn't think much of it and nodded.
The child inside the door was still somewhat wary. Ziyu heard the sound of a stool being slid in from inside the door, and guessed that the child was probably sliding the stool to look through the peephole.
Sure enough, the little boy's voice rang out again the next moment, full of doubt.
“I’ve never seen you before, and you’re not wearing police uniforms,” the little boy said. “My dad said I can’t just open the door to anyone, and you’re strangers.”
The mark between Ziyu's eyebrows deepened; he hadn't expected the child to be so wary.
Qin Yuzhen clicked his tongue lightly.
"Little friend, move aside and step back a bit."
Ziyu immediately guessed what he wanted to do from the content of his words, and said gently to the little boy, "Yes, could you step back a little?"
Although the little boy was suspicious, he was frightened by the two tall and strong men and quickly ran into the room to hide.
Qin Yuzhen heard the little boy's voice again and immediately lifted his foot.
"Bang!"
Dust flew everywhere.
The only downside of these old houses is that they are not sturdy enough. Qin Yuzhen had an idea as soon as he saw this door.
Ziyu pinched his nose and fanned away the dust that flew up.
A single father who is also a policeman must be very busy on weekdays and wouldn't pay much attention to these kinds of small things.
The child hiding in the corner of the room was even more frightened by the loud noise and huddled up in a ball.
The electronic watch on my wrist emitted an eerie red light.
drop--
The room was a normal home for an ordinary person, a two-bedroom apartment, not very big, and the things were arranged in a somewhat messy manner. There were several empty buckets of instant noodles on the table in front of the sofa, so it seemed that the child had been relying on instant noodles to fill his stomach while his father was away.
Ziyu could see several certificates of merit on the wall, which read "Good Child Award". They were displayed very high by his father, as if they were very precious to him.
That uneasy feeling welled up in my heart again.
All the signs indicate that the older policeman loves his child very much, and during the time he was under guard, no one took the initiative to take care of the child, who had to fend for himself. This also suggests that the older policeman is not very popular or has strong family ties.
What could possibly motivate a father who loves his child so much, knowing that his child is too young and there is no one to take his place, to betray his professional identity and deliberately poison a stranger, a college student?
Whether he succeeds or not, he will be arrested immediately.
Why would he be willing to take such a risk when there is absolutely no feedback involved in the crime?
“Let’s find that child first,” Ziyu said. “You go to that room over there, I’ll go to the one on the left.”
Qin Yuzhen nodded and went to the right.
The room on the right is the guest bedroom. It's very clean and doesn't look like anyone lives there.
But the little boy seemed quite clever, so we can't rule out the possibility that he might do things unconventionally.
Qin Yuzhen looked around carefully but found nothing unusual.
It seems I was overthinking things.
Qin Yuzhen calmed himself down and turned to head towards the master bedroom.
"wipe--"
A faint dragging sound.
Qin Yuzhen immediately turned his head and caught a glimpse of color flashing under the bed.
Here!
Immediately adopting a defensive stance, Qin Yuzhen crouched down and reached under the bed.
He saw a photograph.
The young man in the photo is handsome and refined, with a gentle smile on his lips, yet his eyes still reveal a faint sense of aloofness, making people want to understand him more deeply. However, in this photo, the young man's heart has been cruelly stabbed open with a knife.
He gripped the photo tightly in his hand.
Qin Yuzhen already recognized this face very well.
It is Ziyu.
The moment this thought crossed my mind, a scream suddenly rang out from the next room.
Qinyu Town: !
