Chapter 53 The Corpse in the Woods at the Police Station



Yuncheng Public Security Bureau.

In the interrogation room, Lu Zhaoning, who had been asked the same question more than a dozen times, finally became impatient.

"Officer Li, I've said everything I need to say and cooperated with everything I need to. Can you please let me go?"

"The case is still under investigation. You are also a suspect now. Why rush? Once we have clarified the matter, we will naturally let you go."

Seeing that the team leader didn't say anything, the female police officer in charge of recording knocked on the table, signaling Lu Zhaoning to cooperate.

Lu Zhaoning is a soft-hearted person, and the policewoman's words made her angry.

He immediately sneered and said bluntly, "So this is how your Yuncheng police officers handle cases. They fulfill their civic duties, but are still suspected. I've seen it all today."

"How can you talk like that? When did we doubt you?"

The policewoman retorted subconsciously, but when she met Lu Zhaoning's half-smile, her heart skipped a beat.

"Ms. Lu, you misunderstood. We invited you here to find out the truth of the case." Li Mu said in a deep voice.

Li Mu has many years of experience in handling cases. He learned from Zhou Yang that he had killed five people in total.

After receiving the alarm call, they immediately rushed to Zhou Yang's residence, and also contacted the police in Jiangcheng, asking them to assist in searching Zhou Yang's residence.

Based on past experience, Li Mu reasonably suspected that Lu Zhaoning was a relative or friend of one of the victims, and that he approached Jiang Lan in order to avenge his friend and expose Zhou Yang's true identity.

As for why Lu Zhaoning went to so much trouble, Li Mu believed that he must have wanted to use the power of fans to put pressure on the police and strive to solve the case in the shortest time possible.

Li Mu didn't know that Lu Zhaoning was still a pure newcomer and didn't have a large fan base at all.

The more Li Mu thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth.

"If I knew the truth of the case, what would I need you, the people's servants, for?"

Lu Zhaoning's face was calm, without a hint of mockery, but his clear eyes seemed full of arrogance.

Li Mu knew that these celebrities were very arrogant and could not be offended easily, otherwise posting something on Weibo would easily cause tension in the relationship between the police and the public.

I was thinking carefully about how to say it so that my tone wouldn't sound harsh, but would still serve as a warning.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard Lu Zhaoning's cold voice say: "Officer Li, regarding the case you recently investigated, I suggest you check the people around you. You might get some unexpected results."

"What?"

Li Mu was unable to react for a moment.

The policewoman next to Li Mu was startled and knocked over the water cup in panic.

"Xiao Fang, what's wrong?"

"No...it's okay."

Lu Zhaoning glanced meaningfully at the policewoman's flustered and nervous face, and said calmly: "After all, as a police officer, she has a boyfriend who's a drug dealer. Such a person can't continue to stay in the police station, right?"

With a "clang", the glass fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.

The policewoman stood up in a panic, picked up the documents hurriedly and walked outside.

Li Mu hadn't figured out what Lu Zhaoning meant, but his intuition and sharpness as a police officer had already prompted him to chase the policewoman.

[Being in love is really unacceptable, especially for a police officer. Knowingly breaking the law is an even greater crime!]

Lu Zhaoning was eating melon and thinking about the future fate of the policewoman, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for gaining ten health points.]

Lu Zhaoning raised his eyebrows: [So generous this time? ]

The system replied in a serious tone: [Because you, the host, saved a righteous reporter and also exposed the policewoman's identity as an undercover agent who would later be recruited.]

Lu Zhaoning smiled with satisfaction.

She said that according to the value on this variety show, at this rate, it won’t be long before her health value reaches the maximum level.

By then...

"Miss Lu, I'm sorry, you can leave now."

Li Mu's expression was serious, and there was a bit more scrutiny and inquiry in his eyes as he looked at Lu Zhaoning.

He never imagined that Xiao Fang, a police officer, actually had a boyfriend who was a drug dealer.

You have to know that in Yuncheng, children are taught to stay away from drugs since childhood. Xiao Fang just graduated last year, and she agreed to be an undercover agent for the sake of her boyfriend whom she had only known for less than three months.

This behavior shocked everyone in the bureau, and he has now been locked up awaiting trial.

No wonder the previous arrest attempts all failed. Everyone thought the informant had been exposed somewhere, but no one ever suspected Xiao Fang.

It’s just because Xiaofang’s father was a drug enforcement police officer and died when she was very young.

Xiao Fang, the daughter of a drug enforcement police officer, did something that was against the will of heaven and law, which was beyond everyone's expectation.

"Officer Li, Zhou Yang's case isn't that complicated. I think he just has psychological problems."

"Why are you so sure, Miss Lu?"

Lu Zhaoning pursed his lips. He couldn't say that he knew this from just eating melons, right?

The daily melon-eating system will automatically play the big melons nearby wherever she is.

Unless it is gossip she wants to know, she will eat it up just a little bit earlier than she says it.

Looking at the silent Lu Zhaoning, Li Mu didn't ask any more questions.

He simply said, "If nothing unexpected happens, Zhou Yang's case won't cause any trouble for Miss Lu."

Lu Zhaoning nodded.

Although Jiang Lan is an entertainment reporter, she has her own studio and because of her family background, no one dares to make things difficult for her.

This time I came to Yuncheng to investigate the problems of a certain brand of food. The results of the investigation are already in sight and will be out soon.

However, because he discovered that Zhou Yang was peeping at him, he confronted him and was strangled to death by Zhou Yang who lost control of his emotions.

After Jiang Lan's death, Zhou Yang made her investigation public online, and then set herself on fire while holding Jiang Lan's body.

All we can say is that an unfortunate childhood takes a lifetime to heal, but this is not a reason for Zhou Yang to become a psychopath and kill people and abuse cats.

Lu Zhaoning had already walked to the door. He seemed to have thought of something and turned to Li Mu and said:

"By the way, Officer Li, the body of the missing child you investigated earlier was buried in the woods behind the police station."

Li Mu: “…”

Lu Zhaoning looked up at Li Mu, as if asking him why he hadn't taken any action yet.

Li Mu couldn't help but ask, "Ms. Lu, how do you know all this?"

"It doesn't matter how I know. What matters is that I helped you solve the case."

That does make sense.

But Li Mu couldn't take people to the grove to dig up the body just because Lu Zhaoning said so casually.

It would be fine if it was dug out, but what if nothing was found?

But there was a vague thought in his mind that Lu Zhaoning was not lying.

Just when Li Mu was hesitating, a policeman who happened to pass by heard Lu Zhaoning's words, and he took a shovel and took several people to the woods behind the police station.

"dig!"

Li Mu knew the whereabouts of the leading policeman and the missing child, and gave the order without hesitation.
