In the interrogation room.
Guan Feng continued to ask questions.
He asked, "You just said you had a fight with Wang Juan. Why did you fight?"
Zhao Jianguo hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Guan Feng cautioned, "You can choose not to say anything, but that will only increase suspicion against you, and it won't be good for Wang Juan either."
Zhao Jianguo shook his head and said, "I... I didn't actually not want to say it, I just didn't want to ruin Wang Juan's reputation!"
Guan Feng asked, "What do you mean?"
Zhao Jianguo hesitated for a moment, then sighed and asked, "Can you keep this a secret?"
Guan Feng said, "Please rest assured about that. We are criminal police officers, not gossips. No one else will know anything you say except for the investigators. This is a basic requirement of our investigation."
Zhao Jianguo said, "Actually, actually, sigh! Let me tell you everything. The day I had a fight with Wang Juan, it was because Wang Juan was going to be taken to a business bureau to accompany them for drinks. They said there were a lot of big bosses there, and she could get a lot of money for this drinking session. Although Wang Juan had accompanied them before, it was mostly just small-scale stuff, and there had never been anything special. But that day she was very worried, saying that she might not be able to come back. She even told me that if she didn't come back from the drinking session, I should pretend to be her boyfriend and pick her up."
“I was very angry at the time. I said, if you realize the danger, why do you still go? We can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month writing novels, which is something many classmates envy. Why do you still want to earn that kind of money?”
"At the time, she just kept saying, 'I don't understand, I don't understand.' I said, 'I don't understand, but if you insist on going, then go ahead. But if you really become the kind of person we hate, then we'll cut ties completely!'"
"Later, as we were talking, we started arguing. I stormed out of the room, and Wang Juan was crying in the room. After that, I don't know anything."
Guan Feng asked, "You just said the other party is going to a drinking party, aren't you worried?"
Zhao Jianguo sighed, "I was worried. I called her that night, but her phone was off. I was so angry that I thought she had fallen into depravity and I was thinking of cutting ties with her. I never expected..." His words were full of regret.
Guan Feng instructed into his earpiece, "Sheng Guo, take Zhao Jianguo's phone and bring it in."
Zhao Jianguo immediately grabbed his phone and went into the interrogation room.
A moment later.
With Zhao Jianguo's help, the system was unlocked.
Guan Feng checked the call records and found that he had called Wang Juan, but the call was not answered.
Guan Feng handed the phone back to Liu Shengguo and asked, "You said this is the Bureau of Commerce. Where does Wang Juan, an underage female student, get the resources and connections to know people like this?"
Zhao Jianguo said indignantly, "Isn't it all because of Wang Jian and his gang of rich kids?"
Guan Feng asked, "Be more specific."
Zhao Jianguo said, "Wang Jian and his gang of rich kids are quite powerful. Their families are all big bosses or bigwigs in Hongcheng, especially Wang Jian. His family's real estate company is one of the top in Hongcheng. He likes to bring Wang Juan and a few pretty girls to these kinds of events. I've advised Wang Juan before not to get too close to Wang Jian and his gang. They can play around with whoever they want, but we rootless duckweed will get into trouble sooner or later if we play with them. But she just won't listen!"
Guan Feng nodded and asked, "As far as you know, which other girls are in this circle?"
Zhao Jianguo then named several girls.
Guan Feng instructed Huang Lili to record everything for future investigation.
At this moment.
Huang Lili's phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the number and said, "Captain, it's a call from the cyber police. I'll go out and answer it."
Guan Feng nodded and continued to ask Zhao Jianguo questions.
A moment later.
Huang Lili walked back and gave Guan Feng a meaningful look.
Seeing that he had asked enough questions, Guan Feng closed the file and said to Zhao Jianguo, "Your suspicion has not been completely cleared yet, so we need you to stay and cooperate with our investigation for the time being. But please rest assured, we will find out the truth as soon as possible."
Zhao Jianguo said, "I understand! You must find the murderer and avenge Wang Juan!"
Guan Feng nodded and walked out of the interrogation room.
Huang Lili said, "Captain, Tomato Novel Network replied, saying that Wang Juan's monthly royalties are only a little over a thousand yuan, and that's with the full attendance bonus of 600 yuan per month. It's not the tens of thousands of yuan in royalties she and her classmates were talking about!"
Guan Feng asked in surprise, "More than a thousand? After deducting the royalties, wouldn't that only amount to twenty or thirty yuan a day?"
Huang Lili said, "Yes, no wonder Zhao Jianguo said earlier that Wang Juan would go to these kinds of business reception venues. A little over a thousand yuan is enough for an ordinary student to live on, but it's far from enough to maintain her lifestyle."
Guan Feng nodded and said, "We thought that Wang Juan, as a student, had a relatively simple social background, but now it seems that her interpersonal relationships far exceed what an ordinary student should have. Wang Xun, keep an eye on the girls that Zhao Jianguo just mentioned and investigate them. Sheng Guo, investigate and visit the rich second-generation circle in the school, especially their parents, and find out their corresponding social networks."
"receive!"
"receive!"
The two nodded and left.
Guan Feng continued to ponder the doubts surrounding the case.
At that moment, a reply came from Li Xiangdong's side.
According to his investigation, Zhao Jianguo did indeed appear at the beef soup restaurant yesterday, and he had been staying at the internet cafe for the past two days. In particular, on the night of the incident, Zhao Jianguo was playing League of Legends the whole time, and except for a few minutes when he went to the toilet, he did not disappear from the camera's view.
Guan Feng immediately said, "Tell the internet cafe owner to copy the surveillance footage back."
Li Xiangdong immediately replied, "Okay."
Fifteen minutes later.
Li Xiangdong returned to the bureau.
He handed over the USB drive, and Guan Feng connected it to the computer and began to observe it carefully.
An investigation of the internet cafe footage revealed that the person arrived at the internet cafe a little after 5 p.m. the day before yesterday, and only left for two or three minutes at most. Between 8 p.m. and 10 p.m., the person did not leave their seat at all.
Guan Feng frowned and said, "According to the autopsy report by forensic doctor Qin, Wang Juan died between 8 and 10 o'clock. Even considering the effect of water flow on the decomposition of the body, it was no later than 12 o'clock and no earlier than 6 o'clock. Now it seems that Zhao Jianguo was indeed framed."
Li Xiangdong asked, "Then what should we do? Release him first?"
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "We can't let them go for now! They're deliberately using Zhao Jianguo to mislead us, so we'll do the opposite and lull them into a false sense of security. Besides, since they were able to collect Zhao Jianguo's semen, they must know him. We can start from that point and find the real culprit!"
