Chapter 233 Zhu Xiu



"The murderer has been found!" Chen Ge stood up and said, "Okay, I'll be there soon!"

Chen Ge grabbed his coat and rushed out of the haunted house. He ignored everything and headed straight for the Xicheng Police Station.

His first date in life was in a ghost school, with a red-clothed ghost.

His first date was not filled with any joy or excitement, just learning about a girl's tragic past.

He fell from a tall building and lay in a pool of blood. Pain was coming from all over, but he was not dead yet!

As she watched the murderer walk away talking and laughing, the truth was buried, her dancing shoes slowly turned red, and the kind girl turned into a resentful ghost.

Zhang Ya told Chen Ge all this. Now he was the only one who could speak for this girl.

After taking a taxi to Xicheng Police Station, Chen Ge ran into the house.

"Captain Li is in the room on the left." A Yong was guarding outside and recognized Chen Ge at a glance.

"Thank you very much."

When I pushed open the door, I saw Captain Li was the only one in the small office.

"Come on, sit down."

When Chen Ge saw that Captain Li was the only one in the house, he had a bad feeling: "Have you identified the murderer? Didn't you say last time that the scope was narrowed down to three people?"

"Found it, it's him." Captain Li took out a document from the drawer, opened it and took out a photo: "This man is called Zhu Xiu, he used to be the administrator of the equipment room of Xijiao Private College, he was idle, and he was also the principal's youngest son and the ex-husband of dance teacher Sun Meijing."

The photo was captured from a surveillance video. It showed a skinny man sitting at a roadside stall with several bottles of beer piled on the dirty table.

"Are you sure?" Zhang Yazeng recreated the original scene in the mirror of the dance studio. She couldn't see the person's face clearly, but she could make out a rough figure.

The main culprit in the mirror was very fat and completely different from the person in the photo.

"We initially listed him as one of the suspects and focused on investigating the physical education teachers and outsiders of Xicheng Private College. As a result, during the visit, Zhu Xiu's ex-wife Sun Meijing accidentally revealed a piece of information."

"What did she say?"

"She was very tight-lipped and didn't say anything, but we found a photo she posted on a website a long time ago."

Captain Li took out his cell phone and saw a posed photo of a couple on the screen.

The woman is of average appearance but has maintained a good figure. The man looks younger, with a fat head and big ears, and weighs about 180 kilograms.

"That man is Zhu Xiu from five years ago."

Comparing the two photos, Zhu Xiu seems like a completely different person after losing weight.

"In five years, Zhu Xiu lost 60 kilograms, which attracted our attention. After further investigation, we found that this person had no fixed job, spent money lavishly, and most importantly, he seemed to have a fetish."

Captain Li took out the third photo: "After Zhu Xiu's father passed away, Sun Meijing divorced him, and the house was transferred to Sun Meijing's name. He has been renting a house outside."

"We found his landlord and stood outside his house under the pretext of fixing the network cable. His house was messy and smelled bad, and there were several pairs of women's shoes under his bed."

The third photo was taken secretly, recording the situation inside Zhu Xiu's house.

"Occupation, body type, hobbies, they all match! It's most likely him!" Chen Ge gritted his teeth. Such a person should be put in jail and punished by law.

"These alone only prove that he had the motive and conditions to commit the crime, but they don't prove that he is the murderer. We need a complete chain of evidence to arrest him." Captain Li rubbed his temples: "I have good news and bad news now. Which one do you want to hear first?"

"Bad news." Chen Ge blurted out.

"According to the clues you provided, the other girls who assisted Zhu Xiu in forcing the girl to death have all died mysteriously, and we can't find any witnesses now."

Chen Ge could do nothing about this. The witnesses Captain Li wanted were now stuffed into chairs, and one was made into candy and eaten.

"Without a witness, can't he be convicted?"

"As long as the chain of evidence is tenable, there will be no problem in convicting her. But the incident happened four or five years ago after all, and the physical evidence has long been damaged. The most important thing is that the forensic autopsy results show that the girl did commit suicide, and no one pushed her or had physical contact with her."

"She was forced to jump off the building. That bastard pushed her against the window! This is definitely murder!" That scene was replayed in the mirror. Chen Ge saw it all with his own eyes!

"Whether it is murder or not is not up to me to decide, only the evidence can make the final decision." Captain Li put away the three photos and asked: "Do you want to hear good news?"

"you say."

"Zhu Xiu has a strong anti-reconnaissance awareness. He disappeared the day after he found out about our investigation." Captain Li took the remaining photos out of the file bag.

"How is this good news?" Chen Ge was confused and looked at the other photos on the table.

"If they don't cooperate with the investigation and maliciously obstruct the investigation, we have reason to take compulsory measures and can also request assistance from other police stations, etc."

Captain Li said a lot, but Chen Ge didn't listen. He picked up a photo on the table with an unnatural look in his eyes.

“Why is this photo here?”

Captain Li looked up and said, "That was the last photo our plainclothes officers took. Zhu Xiu disappeared in the building where the photo was taken."

"Why would he go here?" Chen Ge narrowed his eyes slightly. The building in the photo was exactly Building No. 3 of Fanghuayuan Community!

"We've been thinking about this, too." Captain Li didn't know what Chen Ge was talking about. "After searching and sorting out a lot of clues, we found that this was not the first time Zhu Xiu had entered Fanghuayuan Community. We retrieved surveillance footage from the past three months and found that Zhu Xiu had entered Building No. 3 three times. What's interesting is that each time he went there, it was late at night, and it was always late on Tuesday night."

"How long does he stay in there each time?"

"About ten minutes."

"Can you tell me the exact time?"

"He went in around 11:50 pm on Tuesday and came out after midnight. No one knows what he is doing." Captain Li guessed, "It seems that this man knew that his crime would be discovered one day, so he is looking for a way out for himself."

"Tuesday after midnight is Wednesday." Chen Ge put down the photo, and the number "three" appeared again. He now suspected that Zhu Xiu had also received the flyer from the Ghost Story Association.

That guy seemed to still be trying to actively look for the Ghost Story Association, but he seemed to have failed every time he tried before.

"Fanghuayuan Community is the key investigation area, but there is a major case at the city branch right now, and the police force is insufficient. We alone cannot control the entire situation." Captain Li has his own difficulties: "It may take a day or two, but you don't have to worry. It's easy to arrest someone, but it's hard to collect enough evidence to convict him."

"I understand." Chen Ge memorized every building in the photos on the table. "Uncle Li, thank you very much!"

"Why are you thanking me? I have to punish lawbreakers. This is what I should do." Captain Li's years of experience in handling cases made him sense something was wrong. He felt that Chen Ge's tone was strange.

"Well, it's alright, I'll leave first."

"Be careful on the road."

"Don't worry."

After walking out of the police station, Chen Ge reached into his pocket, holding the Ghost Story Association's flyer.

"After today it will be Wednesday."
