Cheng Lanjun realized that if the person was taller than the victim, or a shorter but stronger man, he would most likely have hit the upper part of the victim's head. However, the victim's injury was in a small area, so the other person was most likely someone who was more than 20 centimeters shorter than the victim.
Even if a man of this height is a bit short, if he does a lot of work, he has enough strength to raise his arm straight.
Luo Kangcheng reasonably suspected that the perpetrator was a woman with little strength, about the same height as Cheng Lanjun.
Combining this with what Bao Liu's relative said, he immediately thought of Zhou Fangchun.
"But she had no motive for the crime."
“Zhou Fangchun ran away before Zhou Jianan. How could Zhou Jianan let her escape? I guess Zhou Jianan found someone to impersonate a policeman to scare Zhou Fangchun and detain her in Beijing. Once Zhou Jianan successfully escaped to Hong Kong, he would release her and let the police catch her, thus shifting all the blame onto Zhou Fangchun.”
The siblings could have run away together, so why did one leave first and the other later?
Luo Kangcheng's guess made sense, but it was just his speculation. The victim's identity could not be investigated clearly, and the police were in a very passive position. Therefore, Luo Kangcheng hoped that Cheng Lanjun would interrogate Zhou Fangchun again.
We must get the truth from her.
Within the Public Security Bureau, competence is what matters most. Cheng Lanjun's former boss was particularly fond of drinking tea. He would come to the Public Security Bureau every day but didn't do much. He would just drink tea, chat, read newspapers, and enforce public order. He wasn't very proactive in his work and was just waiting to retire.
When Luo Kangcheng was first transferred here, Cheng Lanjun thought that another retired police officer would be coming. But Luo Kangcheng was not old, had strong work ability, and his ability to solve cases was not to be underestimated.
Cheng Lanjun felt she could learn a lot from him and was full of admiration.
"Don't worry, I'm going to interrogate Zhou Fangchun."
Zhou Fangchun's days in the detention center were easier than she had imagined. It must be said that the food in the detention center was not bad. She ate and slept all day long, and instead of losing weight, she actually gained some weight.
She said she didn't know anything when the police asked her any questions.
The blame was placed entirely on Zhou Jian'an.
When asked, she said the mutual aid association had nothing to do with her; it was all her brother's doing, and she was just his executor. She was tricked into joining the mutual aid association by her brother.
Upon hearing that Cheng Lanjun had interrogated him, Zhou Fangchun planned to repeat his old story.
"Alright, everyone has testified that you founded the mutual aid society. Even if you don't admit it, we still have ways to convict you. Besides, your case in Deyang is still ongoing. You probably don't know that, do you? Our new director is from Deyang and was in charge of your case there before. You and the nun colluded to bankrupt thousands of members in Deyang. Do you think you can get away with it just by denying it? The Deyang incident alone is enough to give you a hard time."
Zhou Fangchun frowned, staring at the ground dismissively.
Since we're all going to die anyway, we might as well prolong the time as long as we can.
In any case, the police cannot convict her until she confesses.
The overhead light was glaring, making Zhou Fangchun a little irritable. The room was also very cold, and her hands and feet ached from the cold. Under the light, she became even more restless.
Cheng Lanjun raised an eyebrow. "Zhou Fangchun, we understand that your daughter dropped out of school last year. I guess you moved your daughter to Hong Kong and planned to transfer the money you swindled there to start over with your daughter."
Zhou Fangchun's eyelids twitched.
"You bought a used car and planned to drive to Guangdong Province to meet up with the illegal immigrants you had contacted in advance. That night, you secretly drove your used car, looking at the map and finding the way to the port city. You arrived at the suburban railway and were stopped by a policeman as soon as you reached the intersection."
Zhou Fangchun's eyelids twitched; she knew that her attack on the police would be exposed sooner or later.
Who told that policeman to meddle in other people's business and jump out to stop the car, trying to extort money from her?
She was in a hurry to illegally cross the border, and didn't mind adding another mess to the mainland's situation, so she decided to go all the way and smashed a rock into the back of the male police officer's head.
She pushed the male police officer into the river, and she doesn't know whether he is dead or alive.
"I...I don't understand what you're saying."
Zhou Fangchun stammered, rubbing her pale palms vigorously, using one cold hand to feel the coldness of the other.
Her eyes darted around, her face showed obvious panic, and the movements of her hands and feet indicated that she was nervous.
Cheng Lanjun was shocked once again; she never expected that Zhou Fangchun had actually killed someone.
She knew the man was an imposter posing as a police officer, but Zhou Fangchun didn't. She thought he was a real police officer, yet she still killed him.
This is adding insult to injury.
"You don't understand? You hit him on the back of the head with a stone and pushed him into the river. Zhou Fangchun, do you know what crime it is to murder a police officer? You helped people commit fraud in Deyang and also defrauded people of more than 100 million yuan in Beijing. Investigating both old and new cases together is already enough to cause a lot of trouble, and now you've also been involved in a murder case."
Zhou Fangchun visibly tensed up.
"I...I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't kill anyone. I don't know anything."
"Zhou Fangchun, it will be good for you to confess sooner rather than later. Perhaps we can even try to get your sentence reduced."
“I told you, I don’t know anything,” Zhou Fangchun shouted in despair.
Cheng Lanjun walked out of the interrogation room, and Luo Kangcheng frowned.
"She's lying; she's definitely involved in this case."
"But she won't admit it..."
Luo Kangcheng pondered, "Xiao Yao visited Mao Xia's school and then went to Mao Xia's hometown. I heard that Mao Xia's birthday is coming up soon. Let's see if we can get Zhou Fangchun to talk then."
Cheng Lanjun sighed. Zhou Fangchun was not a good person, but she was a good mother. She had arranged everything for her daughter, transferred her daughter abroad, and given all the money to her daughter. But Mao Xia was not an easy person to deal with.
