Chapter 344: Silencing the Witnesses
"Let's talk inside."
After saying that, Chi Rui led the two of them into a conference room.
There was another police officer in the conference room. She was one of the female police officers who accompanied and supervised Zhong Zhuoying to the hospital for treatment.
At Chi Rui's signal, the female police officer recounted what happened in the hospital this morning.
It turned out that during the interrogation yesterday, Zhong Zhuoying suddenly shouted that she had a headache and wanted to take medicine. She also said that she suffered from schizophrenia and bipolar disorder and needed hospitalization.
In addition, the police found psychiatric drugs and mental illness-related diagnosis certificates in Zhong Zhuoying's home yesterday afternoon. After a comprehensive assessment, the police station decided to send Zhong Zhuoying to a designated psychiatric hospital for treatment that night.
During this period, there were two police officers, one male and one female, who were guarding and accompanying him, but something still happened.
At around 10:13 this morning, Zhong Zhuoying was on her way to the CT room for a brain CT scan accompanied by two police officers when her carotid artery was suddenly cut with a blade. After failed rescue efforts, she was declared brain dead at 11:00 a.m. due to excessive blood loss.
The man who attacked with a blade was a complete stranger to Zhong Zhuoying. According to preliminary investigation, he was also a mentally ill patient suffering from schizophrenia.
However, it still needs to be investigated whether the person was ill when he committed the crime. The investigation report usually takes about 15 days to one month to be issued.
After the female police officer finished her story, the four people, including herself, all thought that such a coincidence could not happen.
But the police need evidence to investigate the case, and the murderer is a mentally ill patient, which increases the difficulty of solving the case.
"Now that Zhong Zhuoying is dead, she can no longer be held criminally responsible for what she did to you and your father. The case will be automatically dismissed soon." Chi Rui said to Yan Ai with regret.
Yan Ai's eyes were solemn and she nodded slightly.
She couldn't say the three words "It's okay", but she was helpless.
Seeing this, the female police officer seemed to remember something and turned to ask Chi Rui, "By the way, Captain Chi, doesn't Zhong Zhuoying have a relative? So, can Miss Yan seek civil compensation from this relative of Zhong Zhuoying?"
Yan Ai also thought of lawyer Jiang Shuo.
However, she didn't think of him because she wanted to claim compensation from Jiang Shuo, but because after Zhong Zhuoying's death, Jiang Shuo became a new breakthrough point.
But Jiang Shuo was pushed forward by Feng Jue himself... Yan Ai frowned and thought about how Feng Jue would use Jiang Shuo as a chess piece.
Chi Rui shook his head after hearing what the female police officer said. "We haven't collected biological samples from Zhong Zhuoying's relative for kinship testing yet, so we can't confirm their blood relationship."
"Why don't we just go and inform that person of Zhong Zhuoying's death and collect biological samples for comparison?" the female officer said. "Originally, Xiao Li and the others were also going to do this this afternoon."
"Okay, let's notify Jiang Shuo to come to the police station first." After Chi Rui gave the order, the female police officer left the meeting room to make a phone call.
Now only Yan Ai, Chi Rui and Yang Weizhao were left in the reception room.
Yang Weizhao had not spoken a word just now, but just listened quietly.
Because he couldn't understand the reason, he couldn't understand why Feng Jue wanted to kill people to silence them.
Although Yan Ai had told him that Feng Jue was interested in the core technology of micro-UAVs in her hands, why would he go to this extent just to get this technology?
He could understand coercion and bribery, but to silence someone... if he wasn't careful, it would be a huge gamble that would cost him and the interest groups behind him everything. The risk was so high, was it worth it compared to obtaining the technology that was not completely irreplaceable?
What's more, Feng Jue is a very successful businessman. Would he make such a decision that is not worth the cost and comes with huge risks?
