Chapter 914: Telling Everything You Know



"This is the informant I mentioned to you before. He is still a college student."

Drizzt immediately began to explain.

Zou Changyu glanced at Lu Ban, and his eyes changed again.

"You are the informant who provided clues about the criminal. Thank you so much."

He hurriedly held Lu Ban's hand.

"I will directly provide you with a property in Jiangcheng City to thank you for your contribution."

"Thank you very much."

Lu Ban also shook his hand back.

Rich people are really generous. The gifts they give are worth the price of a property.

Trist looked at Lu Ban with a complicated expression.

"Mr. Zou, this time we came here, in addition to informing you about the situation of the criminal in the case, there are some other things we want to know."

Drizzt spoke again, placing the box on the table.

"Please speak. I will tell you everything I know."

Zou Changyu replied.

"As you know, the criminal entered your home to steal, but was blocked by your child, so he killed him and stole a lot of property. The police also counted the losses. We found some items on the criminal this time, and we want to check whether they are what you lost."

Drizzt said, removing his hand from the handle of the box.

"...Those possessions don't seem to be worth much now. It's really pitiful that my child died for them."

Zou Changyu's expression darkened.

"At this point, I don't want to see those sad things anymore, so I'll donate them to people in need, or auction them off to raise funds to support charity."

"Mr. Zou, did you lose a unique item at that time? It was more special than other property."

Trist did not accept Zou Changyu's words, but continued speaking.

"I'm not sure. What was lost at that time should be some antiques and artifacts. Although some are unique pieces, they are not priceless."

Zou Changyu thought for a moment and answered. He glanced at Xiaya who was eating and spoke.

"Officer Cui, if you have anything to say, please tell me directly. Don't play dumb with us old people."

As someone who has been in the business world for many years, Zou Changyu could clearly see that Trist was misleading him.

"We found something next to the prisoner this time. It may be chemically contaminated or radioactive. Now, it is in this box. I will ask again, Mr. Zou, Ms. Sun, do you still remember it?"

Drizzt did not hide anything and said.

The couple looked at each other, their eyes slightly confused.

"I'm sorry, Officer Cui, we're not sure what you're talking about. If it's important, could you open the box and let us see it with our own eyes? Or if it's dangerous, could you show us a photo?"

Zou Changyu said sincerely.

Drizzt looked at the two of them deeply.

He finally put his hand on the box.

"This thing is very dangerous. I'll ask my colleagues to send the photos they took earlier to you two for confirmation."

He did not open the box.

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Officer Cui. We don't have anything to treat you here. The water near the island is very clear and you can dive and swim. You can relax here."

Zou Changyu replied and looked at Trist again.

"I still have some company matters to take care of, so I'll take my leave now. If you need anything, you can talk to my secretary, Xiao Li."

He pointed to the young man standing at the door and left with his crutches.

Lu Ban glanced at the young man, who was probably about thirty years old and very meticulous. When he heard the name, he thought it might be the isomer of Li Zijian in this world, but he did not know this secretary.

They each returned to their rooms. Lu Ban had just taken out the charging cable to charge his phone when he heard a knock on the door.

When the door opened, it was Drizzt and Xia.

The two entered Lu Ban's room and looked around.

"Is this the room you just said might have a problem?"

Xia opened the empty cabinet with great interest and looked inside.

“Now it seems there is no difference.”

Lu Ban replied that now with three people sitting here, he felt like he had returned to a quiet place, which was quite touching.

"Zou Changyu's expression and demeanor just now didn't sound like he was lying. Is it possible that the jade pendant was not stolen from him and we found the wrong person?"

Trist said that he had been a criminal police for many years and thought he was quite experienced in judging the state of a suspect. Zou Changyu's demeanor and performance had been very natural before, and even the most experienced criminal police would not think that Zou Changyu was hiding something.

"It is indeed possible. Those two criminals are habitual thieves. After stealing and killing people, they may continue to commit crimes. It is also possible that the jade pendant was obtained after that."

Xia nodded, but quickly changed the subject.

"But based on the treatment of Zou Changyu's child, this possibility is very small. Normal theft and murder would not lead to the dismemberment of the victim. That is unnecessary."

The reason why there are so few vicious murders is that, in addition to the fact that there are indeed fewer psychopaths who can carry them out, another important reason is that these crimes are very troublesome.

Robbery, theft and murder may be spur of the moment, and many criminals don’t even know they have killed someone, after all, they may have never committed a crime before.

The act of killing and dismembering a person requires a lot of energy, tools, and time.

As a criminal who accidentally killed someone during the theft, he must be very nervous, and there is no reason for him to dismember the body.

"Let's observe for a while and understand the situation around Zou Changyu and his wife."

Trist came to a conclusion and patted Lu Ban on the shoulder.

"It's a rare opportunity to come to this beach, so we can go around and have a look. We can handle the investigation."

"Um."

Lu Ban nodded.

"You too, little girl, don't watch all that fighting and killing every day, go and enjoy your life."

Drizzt ruffled Xia's hair again.

“I don’t know what special food there is.”

Xia muttered.

After the two left, Lu Ban continued to pack his things. Naturally, his phone could not connect to the normal network, so he could only rely on the wifi in the villa. He looked at the weather conditions, worried that there would be a sudden change, such as a typhoon or something. However, the weather forecaster had a sunny face and told him that the Pacific Ocean near the equator would be sunny and there was no need to worry about typhoons.

In fact, there is even a doldrum belt near the equator, and it is impossible for typhoons to occur on normal days. Lu Ban’s worries are completely groundless.

He put down his phone and heard another knock on the door.

"It's us."

What Lu Ban heard were the voices of Amber and Hongye.

He opened the door and saw that the two of them had changed into a somewhat cool dress and were holding transparent handbags in their hands.

"We're going to go to town, wanna come together?"

Amber said excitedly.
