Chapter 29 Eliminating Suspicion



Du Zhifeng took them to his brother and questioned his brother, and his confession was the same as what Du Zhifeng said.

With the testimony of their neighbors, he was almost cleared of suspicion.

Zhou Ziheng was listening while taking notes. Lu Xiangxiang looked at what he wrote. Even though he was not at the table, he could see that his handwriting was very beautiful with its flying dragons and phoenixes. He wondered if it would look even better if he wrote normally.

She thought to herself.

After finding out more about her situation, Du Zhifeng asked her who she had grudges against. Du Zhifeng mentioned several people's names and gave them their addresses.

The two left.

"Tell me what you think." Che Zhou Ziheng asked her opinion.

"It's hard to say for sure. We have to ask those who have grudges against Dong Wenzhen."

"Those were done by Zhengyi and Mingwei." Zhou Ziheng glanced at his wrist.

"It's already noon, let's meet at the state-owned restaurant." When they left just now, they had already made an appointment with each other to meet at the state-owned restaurant. Now it's time to go as it's lunchtime.

The car was parked in front of the state-owned hotel, attracting many people to look over. When they saw a few words printed on the body of the car, they were shocked. This was the Public Security Bureau's car.

Lu Xiangxiang and Zhou Ziheng stood at the door of the state-owned restaurant, and those who originally wanted to go in for dinner hesitated.

A hand pulled her arm, and she couldn't help but follow. She heard: "Let's go in first. They don't dare to come in while we are here."

The two entered the restaurant. It was dinner time and there were still many people there. Fortunately, there was an empty seat. Lu Xiangxiang went to reserve it, while Zhou Ziheng took a look at today's menu.

"Today we serve braised pork, kelp and egg drop soup and..." He read out a long list of names.

"Let's wait until they get here." Their work is considered an official errand, and the bureau will reimburse them.

If they pay more, they have to solve it themselves.

Soon Zhang Mingwei and Yan Zhengyi arrived, and they sat together at the same table.

"Captain Zhou, why haven't you ordered yet?"

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat. I want to eat meat." Yan Zhengyi shouted.

It was a rare opportunity to eat meat, so of course he wanted to eat it. The bureau would reimburse some of the expenses anyway. Of course, the travel expenses were fixed, and if they spent more than that, they would make up for it themselves.

Just give them subsidies. They are all working people, so it’s okay for them to come out and have a good meal occasionally.

"According to the old rules, the allowance for our meals out is two taels of meat and one dollar, and the excess is divided equally among us." Of course, he was not saying this to the two of them, but to Lu Xiangxiang.

Lu Xiangxiang nodded in agreement, and then Zhou Ziheng told him the list of dishes, and then ordered a pot of braised pork, vegetables and a fish.

Two meat dishes and one vegetable are very good. Then ask the waiter to bring rice. Of course, the rice is served in a bowl. They have to exert a lot of physical energy and eat a lot every day.

When the dishes came, both of them were drooling, but Zhou Ziheng didn't show any extra expression.

Lu Xiangxiang thought it was okay. She had finished two chicken legs yesterday. There was still chicken on the stove in the space. Her grandmother put it in there for her and she could eat it whenever she wanted.

But she is eating with them now, so it’s not convenient to take it out.

Zhang Mingwei and the others couldn't help but urge Zhou Ziheng to start eating first. As the captain, of course he let him go first. When he took the first bite, the two of them started eating with a roar.

The way he ate looked as if he hadn't eaten meat for ten years. She couldn't help but sigh that even if she got a salary, she couldn't eat meat freely.

It's a matter of the times, and she firmly believes that the time when people can eat meat regularly will not be long.

Just as she was thinking about it, a piece of fish appeared in front of her, followed by a piece of braised pork.

She looked up at Zhou Ziheng who was still picking up some meat for her. Seeing her looking at him, he said, "Hurry up and eat. If you don't eat it now, the meat will be eaten up by these two little bastards."

After hearing his words, Zhang Mingwei and Yan Zhengyi paused, then they realized that there was a girl in their team, and it seemed inappropriate for them to do this.

"Captain, how could you say that? We will leave some food for Comrade Xiao Lu."

"Exactly, you still think we've never eaten meat?"

Zhou Ziheng glanced at them. His eyes were so sharp that they could see through other people's souls.

The two of them looked very guilty, and they didn't say anything and just lowered their heads to eat in silence.

The four of them ate up all the food, and after finishing, they held their stomachs and sighed that it was great to be able to eat meat.

The meal cost a total of ten yuan. Afterwards, everyone paid two yuan each. Zhou Ziheng had his own meat coupons, so they didn't need to pay. When Zhou Ziheng said this, Yan Zhengyi and the others showed happy expressions on their faces. Oh, it was not difficult for them to spend money on eating meat. The difficult thing was that they had no meat coupons, so it was difficult to buy meat.

The captain's action was like treating them to a meal for free, how could they not be happy?

They got into the car with satisfaction and began to analyze the situation.

"Xiao Lu and I went to look for Dong Wenzhen's boyfriend. He was drinking with his buddies on the day Dong Wenzhen disappeared. His buddies testified to that. Of course, this testimony is not valid, but people in the same courtyard can testify that they were drinking that night. After all, the door was open, and we could hear the sound of them guessing numbers." Zhou Ziheng said lightly, his voice neither slow nor slow, like a sip of fragrant wine, with a strong aftertaste.

Lu Xiangxiang touched her ears unconsciously and thought she was going to be pregnant.

"We visited Dong Wenzhen's school. She has a very good reputation within the school. She is beautiful, gentle, and kind to others. She has a good reputation among both students and teachers. Those who have grudges against her have been investigated and have alibis."

"No useful information at all?"

"Wait, I remember now. Dong Wenzhen's best friend, Teacher Liu from the second year of high school, said something cryptically."

"What?"

"Just say that Dong Wenzhen met the principal the day before she disappeared." Zhang Mingwei said, pointing to the character relationship diagram.

After hearing this, everyone felt that there was something fishy going on and began to investigate the principal of the high school.

When Zhou Ziheng and his companions came to see the principal, the principal was very surprised and asked, "Excuse me, what happened?"

"Look, we have something we need to investigate with you. Dong Wenzhen is dead, and according to our investigation, she saw you before she died."

The principal was stunned, then frowned. "I did meet her that day, but it was for work. She was competing with Teacher Li for the position of grade director, and she's already been selected."

"Is that so? Do you know what happened next?"

"How should I know? I went home later, and when I got home my wife said that the soy sauce was gone and asked me to go get some. The neighbors all saw it and they can testify for me." At this point, he can only try his best to distance himself from the matter.

After hearing what he said, several people left the principal's office and went to the principal's house to inquire about the news.
