Chapter 24 Poor Acting
When Wu Yongcheng and Zhou Yi brought their men back to the bureau, they happened to meet Chen Yan who had returned.
"Master, there are no large amounts of money flowing into or out of Du Xiaolin's bank account."
"But her mother said that two months ago during the Chinese New Year, Du Xiaolin gave her 8,000 yuan to save, saying it was a bonus from the hospital. But when I asked the hospital, they said they had never given out such a bonus, which means the money came from an unknown source."
"Then I looked around Du Xiaolin's bedroom and saw a lot of cosmetics and shopping bags with English packaging. I took a few photos and they must be famous brands."
"Is there any situation with Biaozi and Xiaoqiao?" Wu Yongcheng asked.
Zhou Yi highly approved of Wu Yongcheng's arrangement. If Zhang Xinli was the murderer, there were at least three things she needed to deal with after killing someone: the murder weapon, blood-stained clothes, and camouflaged shoes.
Most of the shoes I wear are from Wang Youfu because they are the right size.
Judging from Zhou Yi's discovery of the detail that the bathtub had been cleaned, Zhang Xinli had probably washed the bloody clothes and shoes overnight.
This means that even if these two things are found, it is still unknown whether Du Xiaolin's blood can be detected on them.
Moreover, Wu Yongcheng had no way of applying for a search warrant to search Zhang Xinli's home based on speculation alone.
Therefore, the most crucial piece of physical evidence is the murder weapon.
Although the murder weapon can be cleaned, there are always some minor details that are difficult to clean thoroughly. If you want to clean it completely, you must use some professional chemical agents.
Moreover, forensic doctors can determine the accuracy of the murder weapon by comparing the wounds on the deceased's body.
There are only two possibilities for how Zhang Xinli handled the murder weapon.
Or maybe he threw it away on the road after escaping from the crime last night.
Or take it home and dispose of it when you have the chance.
Wu Yongcheng arranged for people to conduct a carpet search and surveillance just for the key evidence, the murder weapon.
Especially after they went there, Zhang Xinli would be more eager to get rid of the murder weapon.
Chen Yan replied, "Sister Qiao is still watching. She said Zhang Xinli didn't leave the house, but her husband did."
"There's still no news about Brother Biao. I guess he's still searching. After all, the area is quite large."
"If there's a shortage of manpower, ask him to seek help from the nearest police station and build good relationships with the grassroots. Don't be so rigid."
"Okay." Chen Yan nodded and pointed to the interrogation room next to him. "Master, do you need me to come in?"
"No need, Zhou Yi can just come in with me. He's more familiar with this case."
"By the way, go help me monitor the summons process for Zhang Xinli and Wang Youfu. Once they're approved, bring them back to me immediately."
"yes!"
Before entering the interrogation room, Wu Yongcheng said, "Zhou Yi, you come ask questions later."
"Okay, thank you Captain Wu for your trust."
Zhou Yi knew that Wu Yongcheng wanted to test his professional abilities.
There is a difference between an interrogation room and an inquiry room. An inquiry room is used to interrogate and investigate criminal suspects, while an inquiry room is used to investigate and collect evidence from people related to the case. It is inherently less tense and oppressive.
After entering, Zhou Yi first stated his and Wu Yongcheng's identities, and then asked for Zhu Xuejun's basic identity information. These are the basic principles of the interrogation record.
Zhou Yi's first question was straightforward.
"Do you know Du Xiaolin?"
"Du Xiao..." Zhu Xuejun said thoughtfully, "Oh, I remember now. When I came to the hospital this morning, I heard them talking about the female nurse who was murdered in the emergency department, right? Oh, I already mentioned this to the security department. They need to take the safety of medical workers seriously. We need to..."
"Zhu Xuejun!" Zhou Yi said seriously, "Please answer my question directly."
The other party was stunned: "Well... we can be considered acquaintances. We are all colleagues."
"What about Zhang Xinli? What's your relationship with her?"
When he heard this name, Zhu Xuejun's face suddenly changed.
“He’s also a colleague.”
"Just a colleague?" Zhou Yi stared at him with a scrutinizing look.
Zhu Xuejun raised his hand and, scratching his itch, wiped away a drop of sweat from his temple. "Ah, just...just an ordinary colleague relationship."
Zhou Yi took out a copy and placed it in front of the other party.
"An ordinary colleague can transfer 50,000 yuan. This amount is an ordinary steel worker's income for ten years. Director Zhu is so generous, don't tell me this is a loan."
Zhu Xuejun obviously didn't expect that the police would even find out this.
Faced with the copy of the bank transfer record, he knew that no matter how many excuses he made, it would be in vain.
He sighed deeply. "Well, I admit, I'm a bit open in my personal life. I was once drunk and seduced by Zhang Xinli, and something happened that shouldn't have happened. Later, she used this incident to harass me and threaten me, saying that if she didn't become my lover, she would report me and ruin my reputation."
Hey damn, this excuse really clears himself of any wrongdoing.
Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng remained silent and continued to watch his performance.
"I hate it. I hate myself for drinking too much and causing trouble. But I can't just ruin my future like this, especially when there are so many patients waiting for my treatment. I had no choice but to give in, but she kept asking for more and more, constantly blackmailing me."
"Finally, I couldn't stand it anymore and begged her to let me go."
"Comrade police officer, do you think how shameless she is?"
"She said I had to pay her 50,000 yuan to settle the matter privately before she would let me go. Otherwise, she would sue me for rape. Do you think this is fair?"
Director Zhu felt more and more aggrieved as he spoke, and in the end he couldn't help but take off his glasses and wipe away his tears.
If Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng hadn't already known what he had done to Xiaoxiao, they would have almost believed this guy.
"So you've suffered a great loss." Zhou Yi asked with a smile.
"Well, I am also responsible. I didn't have strong willpower. I never thought that young girls nowadays are so smart." Zhu Xuejun shook his head, sighing with regret.
But Zhou Yi felt that his poor acting skills were all a disguise.
Just from the matter of money, we can see that Zhu Xuejun used cash when doing those dirty things.
The time when Xiaoxiao was molested, it was cash.
The source of Du Xiaolin's 8,000 yuan and the funds for purchasing brand-name cosmetics and clothes must have been cash given by Zhu Xuejun.
The only strange thing is the transfer of 50,000 yuan.
Because apart from this money, there is no other money in Zhang Xinli's account related to Zhu Xuejun.
This shows that when Zhu Xuejun was "blackmailed" by his lover Zhang Xinli, he gave her all the money in cash.
Insist on using cash, besides leaving no trace and unable to trace its source.
Zhou Yi also thought of a possibility.
That is, the source of the money itself is problematic.
This is exactly what Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng are talking about as the "trick".
But I don’t know whether this trick is related to Du Xiaolin’s case.
"So, Du Xiaolin learned this from Zhang Xinli? She seduced you while you were drunk and insisted on being your lover?"
"Du Xiaolin?" Zhu Xuejun was stunned. "No, she and I are just ordinary colleagues."
