Chapter 161 It seems that someone had pursued Xiao Zhou before.
Luo Kaiyang was silent for a moment, then he asked in confusion: "Are you here for the child?"
He couldn't understand: "If the murderer likes children and wants a child, then he should wait until the child is at least six or seven months old before doing it, right? The child is only three months old now, and there is no way he can survive if he is tortured like this... Why would he do this?"
A group of people thought about it again and again, but they really didn't know what use a dead fetus could be.
Even if you want to traffic a child, you have to make sure the child is alive, right?
Shen Qingye's brows sank slightly, this was exactly what she didn't understand.
According to the music box, after the murderer killed Zhou Xiangyun, he cut open her belly without hesitation, and after taking out the fetus, he still looked very happy and said those words again...
That was obviously aimed at the children.
What is the reason? And what for?
"If you can't think of it, forget it." Yue Lingchuan knocked on the table and said, "At present, we have limited clues. We can't come up with anything just by thinking. Let's first investigate according to the list given by Ge Weiqing."
Shen Qingye also perked up. That's right, it's useless to think about it. Since the murderer is acquainted with Zhou Xiangyun, then there should be some clues among her colleagues and friends, right?
Yue Lingchuan gave the order: "Xiao Shen and I will go to Zhou Xiangyun's company. Lao Zhou, you take Zhengyi to check Ge Weiqing's unit. Jiang Cheng, you go with Kaiyang and investigate the friends of the couple separately."
He placed his hands on the table and looked around: "Does anyone have any opinions?"
Everyone stood up immediately, said they had no objection, and went their separate ways.

Zhou Xiangyun works for an advertising company which is not very large but relatively stable in the industry.
She is a member of the company's project team and has been working in the company for several years. She was promoted to team leader last year. This kind of job usually involves frequent contact with other companies and often requires drinking. However, ever since Zhou Xiangyun started preparing for pregnancy, she has tried to avoid such occasions. During this period, she has been sitting in the office and rarely goes out for social events.
Zhou Xiangyun's leader was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was very surprised when he first heard the police were looking for him. He thought about it over and over again but couldn't understand why. Until he understood their purpose, he said with a blank face: "What did you say?"
Shen Qingye repeated it again, and the other party looked dazed: "How, how could it be?"
"She, Xiao Zhou, this--" The man blinked, not knowing what to say for a moment, his mind full of disbelief.
Shen Qingye said, "We are here to investigate this case. Does Manager Zheng usually get along well with Zhou Xiangyun?"
Manager Zheng came back to his senses after a pause: "We've been together... quite a lot."
He calmed himself down and thought carefully: "It was fine in the past few years. After she was promoted last year, she became my direct subordinate. We met more often and got to know each other better."
Yue Lingchuan asked: "What kind of person does Manager Zheng think Zhou Xiangyun is?"
"As for Xiao Zhou..." Manager Zheng thought for a moment, "She is capable, smart, and most importantly, has a good personality. As far as I can remember...she should have a good relationship with most people in our department, but I've never heard of her having conflicts with anyone."
"Really?" Shen Qingye asked, "She has been in the company for so many years, and there has never been any conflict?"
"This..." Manager Zheng hesitated: "It seems... sometimes there are some minor conflicts. But she is smart and will let things go. Work is work, and private matters are private matters. She doesn't hold grudges, and generally things will be over in two days."
"Anyway, everyone should have a good impression of her."
He smiled bitterly: "That's why I was so surprised when I heard the news... It's for no reason, how could it be..."
Shen Qingye thought for a while after hearing this, and then asked, "How many people in the company know about her pregnancy?"
"Most of them, right?" Manager Zheng said, "About the majority."
"After all, she is working on the project, so she has to go out for drinks and social events. She hasn't been going out recently and has been sitting in the office instead. There has to be an explanation."
"And she told everyone when she first started trying to get pregnant, so everyone knew what was going on."
In that case...
Shen Qingye tapped the back of his hand with his fingertips, and asked him to call over a few colleagues who were usually close to Zhou Xiangyun.
The two sat in the office specially vacated by Manager Zheng, watching people come in one after another, asking them what kind of person Zhou Xiangyun was, whether she had ever had a conflict with anyone, whether anyone in the office disliked her, and finally asked about Zhou Xiangyun's relationship with her husband...
After a round of questioning, everyone's answers were almost the same as the manager's, and no suspicious points were found.
Shen Qingye had some clues about the murderer, and had been paying close attention to those women, observing their words, actions, and appearance, but none of them matched the person described by the music box.
Seeing that those colleagues had asked questions one by one but had not yet obtained any key information, when they were all thinking that they could not get any clues, the performance of a female comrade made Shen Qingye pause.
"Xiao Zhou and her husband have a good relationship, right?" The woman said, "Anyway, I've known her for so many years, and I rarely hear her complain about her husband. Sometimes, if her husband is not so busy, he will come to pick her up after get off work. I've met them a few times, and they are really a good couple."
"As for enemies...I don't think there are any. At least in our company, there shouldn't be any."
When she said this, her voice suddenly paused. Shen Qingye immediately looked at her: "What's wrong? Did you remember something?"
"Forehead......"
The female comrade hesitated for a while: "It probably doesn't count..."
Shen Qingye said: "Whether it counts or not, we will naturally judge, you just need to tell us."
The female comrade scratched her head and hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "It's just... I suddenly remembered that someone seemed to have pursued Xiao Zhou before."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingye immediately turned around and looked at Yue Lingchuan, and said in a deep voice: "What exactly happened? Tell me in detail."
"Actually, there's nothing much to say." The female comrade calmed down and said, "We had a project before. The person we were working with was a manager from another company. That manager seemed to be interested in Xiao Zhou. He was quite attentive to her during work and even tried to pursue her for a while afterwards."
"But Xiao Zhou was always stern and didn't respond. After a while, the man seemed to give up."
