Chapter 25 Suicide
"Zhu Xuejun, do you think that as long as we use cash, there won't be any traces left? That you won't be implicated?"
As Zhou Yi spoke, he placed three photos on the table. They were the photos of brand-name items that Chen Yan took in Du Xiaolin's room.
"You're wrong! Let me tell you, a person's behavior in society cannot be easily erased."
"The things in these photos are all given to Du Xiaolin by you, right?"
"This brand has never been imported into China."
"And this bottle of perfume, the words on the box are all in traditional Chinese characters."
"These things should be brought back from when you went abroad or to Hong Kong, right?"
Zhu Xuejun was about to argue, but Zhou Yi reached out to stop him.
"I know what you're going to say, but let me tell you, our country's customs has a strict management system for personal clearance. No matter how you argue, it's useless. Once we check customs, we'll know how many things in Du Xiaolin's room were given by you."
"Well, now can you tell us the true relationship between you and Du Xiaolin?"
After hearing what Zhou Yi said, Zhu Xuejun frowned, as if he was struggling fiercely in his heart.
Suddenly, he leaned back and said nonchalantly, "Yes, Du Xiaolin is my lover. I bought her all those things. So, having a lover isn't illegal, right? Officer?"
His entire posture, expression, and tone were completely different from before, full of arrogance and disdain.
It seems that this is his true face.
Everything before was just a disguise.
"It's not illegal, but it's morally problematic," Zhou Yi replied.
"Morality?" Zhu Xuejun sneered. "How much is morality worth? If you have a terminal illness, can morality save you?"
Zhu Xuejun clenched his fist, pointed at himself with his thumb and said, "My medical skills can save lives, and money can save lives."
"Do you know how many people I've saved? Do you know how hard it is to kill my account?"
"Isn't it said that saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda? I've saved so many people, so what's wrong with me enjoying a few young bodies?"
"Besides, I didn't force them, and I didn't treat them unfairly. I got what I wanted, and they got what they wanted, and everyone is happy. What right do you police officers have to interfere?"
Zhou Yi was shocked. Such a person was actually a doctor?
When someone whose values are so twisted, picks up a scalpel, is he saving lives or harming them?
If it was Zhou Yi, a rookie at the time, he would have probably pounced on him and kicked him a few times.
But Zhou Yi is now a mature and prudent criminal policeman. Even if he wants to kick someone, he must do it in an environment where there are no witnesses or physical evidence, and it would be best if the other party does not even know who kicked him.
Then he will definitely kick a few more times.
Wu Yongcheng knocked heavily on the table and said in a deep voice, "Zhu Xuejun, this is the Public Security Bureau. Please be careful with your words. You may think that what you are doing is not illegal, but if you are talking nonsense here and affecting our police investigation, I can sue you for obstruction of public service. We can also choose to issue a notice. Would you like to try it?"
"Captain Wu, are you trying to scare me? It's okay, you can try. I have the best lawyer in the province anyway. And whether it's an obstruction of public service is not up to you to decide, only the court's decision. Do you think I'm ignorant of the law?"
Zhou Yi could feel that Wu Yongcheng was also angry.
This guy is really disgusting, but what he said is true.
Zhou Yi suddenly hoped very much that this bastard was the murderer. He really wanted to see him crying bitterly.
"Zhu Xuejun, where were you between 11 and 1 last night?" Zhou Yi didn't want to continue arguing with him about meaningless things.
"Why, do you suspect I killed Du Xiaolin? Unfortunately, I've let you down. I have a solid alibi. I had dinner with friends at the Jin Jiang Hotel last night, and many people can attest to that."
"Eating until one in the morning?"
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm poor and haven't eaten? I finished dinner at 9:30, and then we went to karaoke and drank."
"What time did you leave the karaoke?"
"Around twelve o'clock, I drank too much, and my friend booked me a room at a nearby hotel."
"Which hotel?"
"Jianghai Hotel, you're welcome to check it out. The front desk clerk there knows me."
"Okay, we'll check it out, including those who had dinner and drinks with you. We'll check them one by one."
Zhu Xuejun looked indifferent. No wonder he was so confident, because the hotel room booking records were the best proof of his alibi.
Moreover, if multiple people confirmed that he drank heavily, it would be difficult for him to have the ability to commit the crime.
"How's your relationship with Du Xiaolin lately? Have you ever had any arguments or conflicts?"
"Comrade police officer, I don't even have time to commit the crime. What's the point of asking me these questions? Besides, the person is dead. Your questions make me very uncomfortable. I refuse to answer."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "It's okay. If the dead make you feel uncomfortable, then let's talk about the living. When did you and Zhang Xinli break up?"
Human language has a logical structure. Zhou Yi grasped the logic in the other party's words and raised a question that made it easier for the other party to speak in the context of the previous and subsequent sentences.
Zhu Xuejun said impatiently: "Didn't I just say that when I gave her 50,000 yuan?"
"So the reason for the breakup is still what you just said? Are you sure you don't need to change your tone? Your attitude before and after makes it hard for us to believe what you just said."
Zhu Xuejun hesitated for a moment and cursed under his breath.
"Damn it, that woman Zhang Xinli has such a big appetite. She always wants me to divorce her and marry her. I've tried to coax her over and over again, but she won't stop."
"What era is this? The rules of the game are to get what you want, and yet she's so delusional as to dream of a quick success."
"I've been wanting to get rid of this hot potato for a long time, but in the end, I had no choice but to pay a heavy price. She promised me that after she received the 50,000 yuan, she would end all ties with me."
"But just over three months ago, when Du Xiaolin and I checked into a hotel, she actually saw us."
Zhou Yi immediately asked, "What was her reaction at that time?"
"She was so angry that she attacked Du Xiaolin like a madman, and even called her a vixen who had stolen her man."
"I was furious. Damn, she really thought she was my original wife. I told her to get out, or I would sue her for extortion. I specifically wired the 50,000 yuan through a bank transfer because I was afraid she would harass me again one day."
Zhu Xuejun was suddenly shocked when he said, "Comrade police officer, could it be that Zhang Xinli killed Du Xiaolin out of hatred? She's a lunatic, and her actions are very extreme."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the interrogation room.
Wu Yongcheng stood up and opened the door, and Zhou Yi saw Chen Yan at the door.
Chen Yan whispered a few words in Wu Yongcheng's ear, and Wu Yongcheng immediately showed a shocked expression.
Zhou Yi knew that something big must have happened.
He hurried out and closed the door.
"Captain Wu, is there something going on?"
Wu Yongcheng nodded and said, "Xiao Qiao, who was spying on us, just sent me a message. Wang Youfu has committed suicide by jumping off a building."
