Chapter 52 Wrong Love (IX) Suspicious Woman
Just then, a boy in a sweatshirt and a baseball cap came from Alley 10. He glanced at Ye Bai quickly and continued walking.
Ye Bai's eyes were fixed on the boy's back, but he was thin, and his height and body shape did not match the suspect in the surveillance video.
Liao Wei in the van couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw the boy walking away. He patted his chest and said, "He suddenly showed up and scared me."
Qi Xiaolei joked: "You are the one who scared me."
Ye Bai casually bought a breakfast at the market, then returned to Lane 9 and walked through the alley again.
Although he was not completely confident about this action, he always had a glimmer of hope deep in his heart that maybe he would succeed this time?
Sometimes, the seemingly simplest and most direct method is often the most effective strategy.
When Ye Bai returned to the apartment, he lifted the heavy towel draped over his legs and tried to stand up.
However, due to maintaining the same posture for a long time, his feet suddenly felt numb, making him unsteady.
At this critical moment, Han Jianye quickly supported him.
"Are you okay?" Han Jianye asked with concern.
"It's okay, I just sat for too long and my feet are a little numb." Ye Bai replied, then turned to Han Jianye and asked with a hint of uncertainty, "Captain Han, will our plan really work?"
Han Jianye smiled slightly and asked him, "Why, are you starting to doubt yourself?"
Ye Bai nodded. Although he was reluctant to admit it, he was indeed a little shaken.
"Suwan is still tracking the suspect, and there is no new information yet. Let's try for another two days. If it still doesn't work, we will consider other options." Han Jianye comforted.
Ye Bai stood up and began to stretch his legs, preparing to go out again in the evening.
Han Jianye looked at him exercising and smiled: "You pretend to be quite serious."
"What else can I do?" Ye Bai responded helplessly. Although the discomfort in his right foot bothered him, he decided to endure it in order to find the murderer as soon as possible.
Han Jianye picked up a bottle of mineral water and drank it in big gulps. His eyes were always fixed on Ye Bai, thinking to himself: Such a dedicated team member,
He will not be released back to Qiyang Branch easily.
Three days later, Ye Bai went to Lane 9 again alone to buy breakfast.
In the car, Liao Wei complained quietly: "Xiao Bai, can you change the taste this time? I have eaten the fried dough sticks you brought for three consecutive mornings, and now my throat hurts badly."
Ye Bai couldn't help laughing when he heard this, but he still replied softly: "Okay, I'll bring you something else this time."
Qi Xiaolei couldn't help but tease Liao Wei: "Didn't you say that you will never get tired of eating fried dough sticks with soy milk?"
Liao Wei sighed helplessly: "But if you eat too much, you will really get angry."
Just then, Ye Bai passed by the old house and found a girl standing at the door.
He deliberately slowed down, wanting to see the girl's face clearly.
Han Jianye and other team members in the car also became nervous. How could a girl appear at the door of the old house so early in the morning?
Just as Ye Bai expected, the girl heard the noise. When her eyes met Ye Bai's, she seemed to be frightened and then hurriedly fled the scene.
Ye Bai's brows were furrowed. He had just observed the girl's reaction, which was a sudden physiological shock.
But Ye Bai saw clearly that the girl did not look at his face, but cast her eyes on his folded trouser leg, which was only an empty trouser leg.
This abnormal behavior immediately aroused Han Jianye's vigilance, and he quickly got out of the car and chased after him.
Because according to the video sent by Ye Bai, the girl was slightly plump and about 165 cm tall, and her back was very similar to the suspect in the surveillance video.
Although he couldn't be sure the killer was a woman, her strange behavior was enough for them to think it necessary to bring her in for questioning.
Han Jianye captured the girl at the door of a hardware store on Nanyuan Street. Surprisingly, the girl turned out to be Luo Jiubin's sister, Luo Jiulin.
It is really puzzling that Luo Jiulin appeared near the old house.
Han Jianye looked straight at her and asked, "What are you doing in the old house?"
"I'm just passing by." Luo Jiulin replied.
"Passing by?" Han Jianye repeated, with obvious suspicion in his tone, and then he resorted to provocation.
"Did you kill Zhou Jiayun?" he asked directly.
Luo Jiulin quickly denied: "I didn't, and I don't know what you are talking about."
Han Jianye continued to ask, "Because Zhou Jiayun brought your brother to court and made your parents pay out 150,000 yuan of their pension, your brother even had to go out and borrow money to make up 200,000 yuan to compensate Zhou Jiayun, so you are resentful, right?"
"I didn't. I was really just passing by." Luo Jiulin insisted on his words.
Han Jianye insisted: "Because Zhou Jiayun took your parents' pension money, you were so angry that you went to find her privately and killed her, right?"
Luo Jiulin firmly denied it again: "I didn't kill anyone, I was just passing by."
"You don't live in Nanyuan Street. What you call 'passing by', doesn't it mean returning to the scene after killing someone?" Han Jianye asked.
"No." There was a slight tremor in Luo Jiulin's voice.
"Then what are you doing in Nanyuan Street?" Han Jianye's eyes were as sharp as a knife.
"I..." Luo Jiulin looked at Han Jianye, as if he had something to say, but was hesitant.
"What do you want to say? Do you want to continue to quibble?" Han Jianye pressed on, and at the same time, he recalled the size 40 shoe prints found at the scene, and new doubts arose in his mind.
"You killed the person, and you can't explain why you went to the old house. Did you hire someone to kill him?" Han Jianye's words were like a heavy blow, striking Luo Jiulin's heart.
As soon as these words came out, Luo Jiulin's pupils shrank sharply, and shock was clearly visible on her face.
Han Jianye observed Luo Jiulin's excited reaction and immediately realized that he might have touched upon the truth. "Who did you hire to kill Zhou Jiayun?"
The corners of Luo Jiulin's eyes flushed and she spoke hesitantly, as if the last line of defense in her heart was about to collapse.
"Beautiful!" Outside the interrogation room, Liao Wei clapped his hands excitedly and praised Captain Han's interrogation methods. "Luo Jiulin's expression clearly shows that Captain Han hit the nail on the head. It's definitely her, without a doubt."
Ye Bai stood next to Liao Wei, his heart also in turmoil, "Who would have thought that it was Luo Jiubin's sister who hired a killer to kill someone."
He sighed softly, feeling unbelievable about this sudden truth.
