Guan Feng frowned.
He had only asked a casual question, yet the other party reacted so strongly, which indirectly confirmed Sun Yuan's words.
Guan Feng asked, "Why do you seem a little nervous?"
Zheng Gan shook his head and said, "Where? I... I'm always like this."
Guan Feng asked, "Oh? That's alright, just relax and answer our questions."
Zheng Gan shook his head and said, "There's no happy occasion at home."
Guan Feng warned, "Deliberately concealing the truth will be punished. This involves a criminal case. If you continue to conceal things, you may face criminal penalties. Do you understand criminal penalties? It's a very serious crime, and you might even go to jail!"
Zheng Gan's expression changed again.
He hesitated for a moment, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself, and finally shook his head and said, "No, nothing, it's just that my child did well in the college entrance examination this year."
Seeing that the other person had spoken, Guan Feng followed up by asking, "Oh? You did well on the college entrance exam? Which university did you get into?"
Zheng Gan said, "I don't understand either. The teacher told him to fill in schools outside the province, saying that he could get into a 985 university and find a good job after graduation."
Guan Feng exclaimed in surprise, "985? That's really impressive!"
Zheng Gan grinned, revealing a set of teeth. His dark lips parted in a wide grin, and he chuckled, "Yes, my most successful thing is my child. It's a pity I don't have much ability to provide him with better conditions."
Guan Feng said, "Spiritual wealth is better than material wealth. Your child's ability to get into a 985 university is a testament to the attention and care you've given him. Moreover, his future is limitless."
Zheng Gan said, "Thank you, officer! I hope that's really possible!"
Guan Feng then changed the subject, reminding him, "But that's precisely why you need to create better conditions for your child, instead of delaying him. I'll ask you again, have you encountered anything unusual at the construction site these past two days?"
Zheng Gan's expression changed again.
A look of struggle and hesitation crossed his face, but then, as if he had just thought of something, his eyes hardened, and he shook his head, saying, "No, no! Officers, please believe me, I really couldn't have done something like murder. I have nothing to do with that corpse."
Guan Feng stared at the other person's expression and nodded, saying, "We believe you, but sometimes the people and things we see or encounter can also help us solve cases."
Zheng Gan remained silent.
Seeing this, Guan Feng said, "In that case, you should go back first. If you remember anything or want to say anything, just call this number."
Zheng Gan nodded, accepted the business card, and thanked him repeatedly.
Huang Lili watched the other person leave and asked, "Captain, do you think Zheng Gan is a suspect?"
Guan Feng recalled the other party's behavior just now and shook his head, saying, "Zheng Gan should not be very related to the case, but he must have seen or encountered something and had concerns, so he didn't say anything."
Huang Lili asked, "Should we take him back to the station?"
"No need!"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "On the one hand, Zheng Gan is honest, and taking tough measures may not yield good results. Once this kind of person gets stubborn, he's as stubborn as an ox. On the other hand, the fact that Zheng Gan can raise such a child means he's not a bad person at heart, and we have to take that into consideration when handling cases."
"Of course! The main reason is that Zheng Gan has little to do with this case, but we will continue to investigate this lead."
Huang Lili then asked, "So what should we do?"
Guan Feng said, "Retrieve the surveillance footage along the way and see what made Zheng Gan so excited! My intuition tells me that it might be related to the case."
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
Next.
Wang Xun and the technical department retrieved the footprints.
Guan Feng, along with Huang Lili and Li Xiangdong, retrieved surveillance footage from along the street.
Half an hour later.
It was close to noon.
Guan Feng noticed that there was a security camera right in front of a Shaxian snack shop.
He said to Huang Lili, "Call Wang Xun and the others and tell them it's noon. Tell them to have lunch first, and then continue investigating the case."
Huang Lili said, "Okay."
Call Wang Xun.
Guan Feng then led Li Xiangdong and Huang Lili into the Shaxian snack shop.
Guan Feng ordered a ham set meal, and the other two also ordered their own food. After Guan Feng paid, he asked the owner, "Do you usually use the security cameras at the entrance of your store?"
The boss nodded and said, "I'm using it. Who are you?"
Guan Feng showed his work ID and said, "We are police officers. This is our work ID. We are investigating a case and would like to use your surveillance equipment."
The boss glanced at them and quickly said, "Oh dear, why didn't you say you were police officers earlier? I could have given you a discount or something."
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "I paid in advance precisely because I was afraid you would have that thought."
The owner insisted, "If it weren't for your protection, our little shop wouldn't be able to operate peacefully. Well then, I'll give each of you an extra chicken leg; you can't refuse anymore."
Guan Feng said, "Really, there's no need!"
The boss insisted on giving it to him, and after some refusals, Guan Feng had no choice but to agree.
Following his boss's instructions, he went to the computer to retrieve the surveillance footage. Based on the relevant time, he discovered that Zheng Gan had been walking with a joyful expression the previous night.
At this moment.
A glint of light in his hand caught Guan Feng's attention.
"What's this?"
Guan Feng frowned and stared at the reflection.
Huang Lili also came over, staring at the screen and asked, "Captain, what's wrong?"
Guan Feng said, "Zheng Gan has something in his hands."
Huang Lili glanced at it and nodded, saying, "It looks like something is reflecting light."
Guan Feng zoomed in on the computer screen.
Something was showing.
