Chapter 34 Key Evidence
At Zhang Xinli's sealed-off house, Zhou Yi opened the drawer and found the medicine box inside.
A blue medicine box with English words written all over the outer packaging.
Judging from the English on the outer packaging alone, it is indeed a medicine for treating stomach problems.
But the key lies inside. Judging from the outer packaging, it is a gelatinous yellow transparent oval pill.
Zhou Yi quickly opened the box, took out the plastic bottle and unscrewed it.
Empty!
Zhou Yi suddenly felt a huge sense of loss. The medicine bottle alone was of no use.
"What should we do?" Chen Yan asked.
Zhou Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Look for it, just in case there are any more."
"Okay!" Chen Yan was very proactive, and in just one day, he, like Wu Yongcheng and Qiao Jiali, had come to trust this young policeman very much.
The two began searching through boxes and cabinets, searching almost everywhere. Just when they thought there was no hope, they unexpectedly found a transparent pill covered with a thick layer of dust in the corner behind Zhang Xinli's bedside cabinet.
Exactly the same as on the box.
Chen Yan immediately took out the evidence bag and carefully picked up the pill with a clip and put it in.
"Go back to the bureau and ask the technical department to test the composition of this drug immediately. The sooner the better."
Chen Yan nodded: "Let's go!"
When they came out of Zhang Xinli's house, a light drizzle started outside.
Chen Yan stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the Municipal Bureau at lightning speed.
Only then did Zhou Yi realize that Chen Yan's driving skills were quite impressive, fast and steady, better than many experienced drivers.
The journey that took half an hour before only took twelve minutes this time.
Finally, Chen Yan used an extremely smooth drift to park the car in front of the Municipal Bureau.
More than half an hour later, Chen Yan received the test report from the technical department.
There are Zhang Xinli's fingerprints on the pill.
The chemical composition of the pills actually contains trace amounts of aflatoxin.
Zhou Yi felt his scalp tingling instantly. Until this moment, the real culprit behind the March 16 case was found out.
"Aflatoxin, what is this? Is it poison?" Chen Yan asked.
"It's a strong carcinogen. Zhang Xinli already has a stomach ulcer. Long-term intake of this substance can easily aggravate stomach lesions and eventually develop into stomach cancer."
At this moment, Zhou Yi's previous knot about the twins was completely untied.
Because even in her previous life, Zhang Xinli escaped legal punishment, but she could not escape Zhu Xuejun's evil hands.
From the moment Zhu Xuejun wanted to induce and use her to kill Du Xiaolin, she was destined to become a victim.
There was no way the twins in her belly would come into the world.
They will be strangled to death by their own fathers and become their mother's burial companions.
"Zhu Xuejun's conviction of Zhang Xinli's intentional homicide is a foregone conclusion; he can't escape it. The appraisal report states that the surface of the pills was intact, indicating they weren't tampered with via needle injection. Furthermore, Zhang Xinli is very cautious; she wouldn't have taken the pills if the bottle had already been opened. Manufacturing the pills and sealing the bottles is not something a single person can do; it requires specialized production equipment, which is not difficult to verify."
"The only thing I can't figure out is why he wanted to kill Du Xiaolin?"
Unexpectedly, upon hearing Zhou Yi's doubts, Chen Yan said, "I think this is simple. It's likely that Du Xiaolin has a very important handle on Zhu Xuejun, and is either forcing him to divorce or pay him a lot of money. That's why Zhu Xuejun wanted to kill her, and Zhang Xinli happened to be used by him."
This answer made Zhou Yi feel suddenly enlightened.
If that were the case, everything would make sense.
When taking the statement earlier, Zhu Xuejun deliberately led the police to suspect Zhang Xinli.
Later, when Zhang Xinli confessed, she mentioned many times that Zhu Xuejun deliberately incited Zhang Xinli's hatred towards Du Xiaolin and used false hope to induce Zhang Xinli to take action.
"Brother Yan, you're so smart. This must be the case. Zhu Xuejun lives an extravagant life and keeps mistresses everywhere. Even if he were a well-known medical expert, he couldn't possibly make so much money. He must have even more explosive information, and the key lies in Du Xiaolin's hands."
Chen Yan was so excited that he was spinning around. "I'm going to go find Captain Wu and urgently apply for a search warrant for Du Xiaolin's house."
"Zhou Yi, wait for me, I'll go find Captain Wu right away." Chen Yan said and ran out.
"Why not just call him?"
"There is no telephone at his house." Chen Yan said this and disappeared.
"You are Zhou Yi, right?" Just as Chen Yan left, a rough voice sounded behind him.
Zhou Yi turned around and saw a burly guy staring at him with sharp eyes.
"I'm Zhou Yi, you are..."
The big man suddenly grinned and stretched out his broad hand, saying, "Jiang Biao, from the Third Brigade."
Zhou Yi immediately knew that the burly man in front of him, who was a head taller than him, was the Biaozi that Wu Yongcheng and the others were talking about. As expected, he lived up to his name and looked quite fierce.
"Brother Biao, I've long heard of you." Zhou Yi immediately shook hands with the other party.
"Brother, I won't say anything more. Welcome to join the Third Team!"
"Thank you, Brother Biao, but I haven't joined yet."
"Hey, it's only a matter of time. By the way, have you met Captain Wu or Xiao Qiao? Otherwise, Chen Yan will also be fine."
Zhou Yi immediately briefly explained the whereabouts of the three people.
Jiang Biao thought about it, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Okay, it's you, come with me."
"Brother Biao, where are you going?"
"That bastard Zhu's lawyer is here, trying to force us to release him. But without Captain Wu, this bastard won't be able to leave the city police station. He'll be locked up for 24 hours, not a second less."
Jiang Biao said with a chuckle: "I have a bad temper. If I go alone, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back and beat someone up. If you come with me, you can just hold me back."
Zhou Yi was suddenly at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This big man was quite interesting. He actually took the initiative to ask him to stop him. He was both impulsive and rational.
"Brother Biao, let's go." Zhou Yi raised the test report in his hand, "Not only will this bastard be stuck for 24 hours, he'll never be able to leave!"
…
When Zhou Yi woke up in the lounge of the Municipal Bureau, a bright ray of sunlight shone in through the gap in the curtains.
He saw Chen Yan lying on the other single bed, snoring with his mouth open.
Suddenly, the door opened.
Wu Yongcheng walked in energetically and put two bags of steaming buns on the table.
"Oh, our great hero is awake?" Wu Yongcheng said with a smile.
"Captain Wu, we need to search Du Xiaolin's house immediately. She might have explosive information on Zhu Xuejun."
Zhou Yi stood up suddenly. He vaguely remembered that he and Jiang Biao went to meet Zhu Xuejun's lawyer yesterday and told him that the police had sufficient evidence and would soon arrest Zhu Xuejun for intentional homicide. He told him not to waste time here and to go back and prepare for the subsequent court defense to see if he could save his life.
After the dusty lawyer left, Jiang Biao took Zhou Yi out for a midnight snack and treated him to a drink.
Jiang Biao was a typical Northeastern macho man. He gulped down alcohol like water and soon made Zhou Yi, who had an average alcohol tolerance, drunk.
Zhou Yi's last memory was of himself, 181cm tall, being carried on the shoulders of Jiang Biao, who was 193cm tall, like a lamb.
Wu Yongcheng laughed heartily: "When you were drunk and unconscious, we had already searched everything we needed to search and interrogated everyone we needed to interrogate."
"Is the trial over?" Zhou Yi was shocked.
"You're also a tiger. In the entire municipal bureau, who can drink more than Biaozi? This guy's family runs a winery, and he grew up drinking from small wine vats."
"Captain Wu, stop keeping me in suspense and tell me now."
Wu Yongcheng grabbed a bun, took a bite, and then held up two fingers, saying, "The black material on Zhu is enough to earn him at least a second-class collective merit this time. He's not going to run away."
