Chapter 438 The Identity of the Deceased
Chu Ruanruan chuckled: "Little sister, what's your name?"
"My name is Xixi, Zhan Xixi, and I'm fifteen years old!" the girl said with a smile.
"Are you going to school now?" Chu Runrun asked.
After hearing this, Zhan Xixi remembered: "Oh, right, I still have to go to school. It's too late. I have to go!"
Zhan Xixi was about to leave, but suddenly stopped:
"Officer sister, do you have anything else to ask me?"
Chu Ruanruan shook her head, then turned a peach blossom into a necklace and gave it to Zhan Xixi:
"This is for you as a reward for cooperating with my work."
Zhan Xixi liked the peach blossom necklace very much, but pushed it back:
"Police sister, it is my duty to cooperate with your work. I cannot take your things."
"Xixi, you must take it. This is the self-defense weapon your sister gave you. You answered your sister's question. Bad guys may hurt you because of it, so you must take it. If you encounter danger, this necklace will protect you." Chu Runrun said seriously.
Zhan Xixi hesitated for a moment and then accepted the necklace:
"Thank you, police sister. I will return the necklace to you after the bad guy is caught."
"Okay! Go to school quickly and be careful on the road!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"Well, goodbye, police sister!"
After Zhan Xixi finished speaking, she ran out in a hurry.
Chu Runrun and Ning Xuan were about to leave when they saw a woman coming out of the house. She glanced at the direction Zhan Xixi left and then looked at Chu Runrun and the others.
"Who are you? Were you talking to my daughter just now?"
"You should be Xixi's mother. I'm a police officer and I want to ask Xixi something." Chu Runrun said with a smile.
"You are a policeman!" the woman was also surprised.
Chu Ruanruan reluctantly took out her ID to prove her identity.
"Are all policemen so young nowadays?" the woman smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Auntie, can we ask you a few questions?" Chu Runrun asked.
"Oh, yes! Of course! Come on in!"
The woman warmly invited Chu Runrun and Ning Xuan into the house, and Dahei and Xiaobai followed in.
The woman didn't find it strange to look at Dahei, but she felt a little strange when she saw Xiaobai.
She had heard of police dogs, but had never heard of police cats!
"Auntie, don't be afraid, Dahei and Xiaobai won't hurt anyone." Chu Runrun said quickly.
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of it, I'm just surprised that you police officers bring cats and dogs with you when you go out to investigate a case!"
"Well... because animals have a keen sense of smell, it helps with investigations." Chu Runrun explained with a dry laugh.
"oh oh!"
The woman nodded and quickly poured them a glass of water.
"Officers, please drink some water!"
“Thank you, Auntie!”
"What do you want to ask? Did my Xixi do something wrong?" the woman asked nervously.
"No, Xixi might have seen something when she ran out last night, so we came here to find out what happened." Chu Runrun said with a smile.
The woman sighed heavily when she heard this:
"This is my fault too. I went out to play mahjong last night and accidentally forgot the time. I played until midnight before returning home.
I originally thought my husband would be able to come back to take care of Xixi, but he didn't come back from the company. Xixi called us but no one answered, so she ran out to look for us and almost got lost.
I still feel scared when I think about it now. It’s too late now. If Xixi really encounters any danger, even if I die, it won’t make up for it.”
"Is your husband back now?" Chu Runrun asked.
The woman glanced at the time and said, "Yeah! It's already seven o'clock. Why hasn't he come back yet? He used to come back at seven in the morning at the latest even if he worked overtime. No matter how busy he was, he would always call. What's going on today?"
As the woman spoke, she prepared to take out her cell phone to make a call.
Chu Runrun looked at the layer of black air covering the woman's uterus and knew that her husband was probably in danger.
She suddenly thought of the middle-aged man who committed suicide by jumping off the building last night. Could he be the woman's husband?
Sure enough, no one answered the woman's call.
"Strange, why didn't you answer the phone?"
The woman was about to fight again when Chu Ruanruan asked hurriedly:
"Auntie, what's your husband's name?"
"His name is Zhan Qichao!"
Hearing this name, Chu Runrun's heart suddenly sank. The deceased was Zhan Qichao.
"Strange, why don't you answer the phone?"
"Don't call anymore, he won't answer!" Chu Ruanruan said.
"Ah?" The woman looked at Chu Runrun in confusion.
The next second, her cell phone rang, but the person calling was not her husband, but the police.
The woman's heart skipped a beat, as if she had a bad premonition, and she answered the phone tremblingly.
"Hello... Hello, hello!"
"Excuse me, are you Ms. Zeng Yanzeng?"
"Yes...yes, what can I do for you?"
"Your husband, Zhan Qichao, tragically jumped to his death last night. Please rush to the police station to identify his body."
When she heard this, the woman was stunned for a moment, and then she fell on the sofa as if struck by a bolt from the blue.
"Impossible! Impossible! I sent him to the company yesterday. How could he be dead?"
Zeng Yan's face was pale and full of disbelief.
"Auntie, your husband has indeed been murdered." Chu Runrun sighed.
Zeng Yan opened her eyes wide, tears fell down, and then she cried silently.
"No, I don't believe it!"
Zeng Yan wiped away her tears, staggered out of the door, got on her bike and ran to the police station.
Chu Ruanruan and Ning Xuan also rushed over immediately.
In the police station, Zeng Yan cried loudly while holding Zhan Qichao's body. Although the policemen present felt sympathy for her, they were already used to it.
"Ms. Zeng, according to the preliminary forensic examination, your husband committed suicide by jumping from a building. I can't disclose the rest of the details for now. I'll have to wait until the special investigation team investigates before I can give you a reply."
Zeng Yan looked at Dong Zuoling and shook her head:
"Impossible! My husband couldn't possibly commit suicide. His career was on the rise, and his parents, wife, and daughter were all there. How could he possibly commit suicide?"
Dong Zuoling looked at Chu Ruanruan and whispered:
"The investigation team is expected to arrive in an hour. Can you tell her about this?"
"Don't tell me for now, so as not to cause panic."
Dong Zuoling nodded slightly and said to Zeng Yan:
"The case is still under investigation. Once the investigation is complete, we will inform you as soon as possible."
"Officer, please, I beg you to catch the murderer. My husband definitely did not commit suicide." Zeng Yan pleaded.
"We will do our best to find out the truth and give justice to the deceased."
After Zeng Yan left, Dong Zuoling sighed helplessly.
"I wonder if she can accept knowing that her husband was killed by a ghost!"
