Chapter 160: Who is the murderer targeting?
Zhou Qiming asked: "What time was it when you came back?"
Ge Weiqing thought for a moment and said, "It should be... around six o'clock, a little after six."
"My train arrived at the station at about 5:15. After I got off the train, I left the station and took a taxi. The journey was smooth. I should have arrived home in 40 minutes, which was about 6:00."
He said, looking at them again, and asked: "Comrade police, when did the incident happen to me and my wife?"
Zhou Qiming and Yue Lingchuan looked at each other and said, "According to the forensic doctor's estimate, Comrade Zhou Xiangyun died about ten hours ago. The time of his death... was around eleven or twelve o'clock last night."
"Eleven or twelve?" Ge Weiqing frowned, "At this time, she is usually asleep."
"She has had a very regular schedule since she became pregnant, and usually goes to bed around nine o'clock."
Shen Qingye said: "The deceased may have taken action because he saw that the neighbors around him were all asleep at this time."
Ge Weiqing was stunned, but soon reacted: "You mean - the murderer is likely someone Xiaoyun knows?"
Shen Qingye said: "There is no sign of damage to the keyhole of your front door. At the time of the crime, Zhou Xiangyun was in the living room instead of the bedroom. In addition, the neighbors around did not hear any cries for help. Based on the above, we suspect that the murderer is likely someone Zhou Xiangyun knows."
She paused, then continued, "Moreover, our comrades also found a call record in Zhou Xiangyun's phone, the time was 10:08 last night."
"We called the number, but it said no one answered."
Ge Weiqing's face turned pale and he blinked slowly: "So, it is very likely that the murderer called Xiaoyun in advance, and it was Xiaoyun who took the initiative to open the door for the other party..."
There was silence in the ward for a moment.
Zhou Qiming asked: "Have you two ever offended anyone?"
"No." Ge Weiqing almost blurted out. As soon as he finished speaking, he thought about it carefully again. However, after thinking about it again and again, he went through all the people he had dealt with in his mind, but still had no clues.
He couldn't help scratching his head, his tone a little anxious: "No, really not, I really don't know who would hate us so much!"
"I'm usually a bit stupid and not very good at dealing with people, but I haven't had any conflicts with anyone in the past few years of work. Xiaoyun is even worse. She has always been considerate and good at talking. She gets along well with most people in her company. I've never heard her say that she has had conflicts with anyone."
"It's even more impossible for our friends to do this. We have known each other for many years and often get together. What's the reason? What's the reason?"
Ge Weiqing grabbed his hair, looking almost broken: "Why? Why on earth?!"
They had been living a good life together for so many years, had a child, and their future was going to be bright and beautiful. Why did something like this happen at this time?
Everyone looked at each other, their expressions were somewhat bitter and reluctant.
The lack of clues means they have to use the most stupid method and check the relevant people one by one.
Zhou Qiming raised his hand, silently patted his shoulder, and said: "Since the murderer has committed the crime, there will be more or less traces left. We will do our best to find out who the murderer is."
Ge Weiqing covered his face with his hands and said in a sad voice: "I'm counting on you, I'm counting on you..."
"My parents and Xiaoyun's parents don't know yet. I don't know how to tell them. What should I say..."
Zhou Qiming pinched his shoulders, and waited until he calmed down a little before saying, "Okay, tell us in detail who are the people you and Zhou Xiangyunping are familiar with and who have the most interactions with."
Hearing this, Ge Weiqing raised his arm and wiped away his tears. He finally cheered up and said a few names. He even told how they met, how many years they have known each other, and some details of their daily interactions.
Wei Zhengyi and Luo Kaiyang took notes, and Jiang Cheng listened on the side. Suddenly he asked, "Do you still have your train ticket?"
"Ah?" Ge Weiqing, who was trying to think carefully about who he had missed, was stunned when he heard this and didn't react for a moment: "What?"
Jiang Cheng asked: "What's your train ticket for the return trip?"
"Oh, yes, yes, yes!" Ge Weiqing said, "It should be in... I put it in my bag? No, it's in my trouser pocket, it should be in my trouser pocket!"
As he spoke, he frantically rummaged through his trouser pockets, and finally succeeded in pulling out a casually folded, square ticket.
Jiang Cheng took it and unfolded it. It turned out to be a train ticket from Pingjiang, the capital of Chufang Province. The departure time was 11:23 last night and the arrival time was 5:16 this morning.
It matches what he said, no problem.
Everyone exchanged glances. Seeing this, Ge Weiqing realized belatedly: "You...are you doubting me?"
Jiang Cheng raised his eyes and looked at him: "I'm sorry, our case handling process requires us to eliminate your suspicion."
Ge Weiqing was silent for a moment, then slowly shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay."
"It's my duty." He pulled the corner of his lips and whispered, "I've also... seen some men on TV who killed their wives out of madness. I can understand that."
"…As long as you can solve the case as soon as possible, I will cooperate with you in any way you want."
Zhou Qiming said seriously: "We will do our best."
"I hope you can think about it again. If you have any clues about the suspect, please contact us in time."
Ge Weiqing closed his eyes: "Yes."
…
The office of the three major crime teams.
A group of people sat back in their chairs, looking through the reports sent by the forensic team and the trace inspection team, puzzled: "What was the murderer's motive? If he hated Zhou Xiangyun or Ge Weiqing, it would be understandable that he killed someone out of resentment. But after killing someone, why did he take out the fetus?"
"Could it be that he hates Zhou Xiangyun so much that he doesn't even want to let go of the fetus in her belly?"
Wei Zhengyi also said, "Yes. Not to mention his crude method, which is very likely to hurt the fetus, even if the fetus is only three months old and is forcibly taken out of the mother's body, it will not survive, right?"
"He also took the child away. What on earth was he trying to do?"
Yue Lingchuan flipped through the forensic team's report, tapping his fingers on the table and frowning.
He looked at Shen Qingye: "What does Xiao Shen think?"
Shen Qingye said: "I'm thinking about something."
Everyone focused their eyes on her. Shen Qingye looked around and said:
"Was the murderer targeting Zhou Xiangyun or the fetus?"
