In recent days, there has been progress in the case of the man who was murdered while impersonating a police officer in Beijing. After making inquiries from various sources, Luo Kangcheng confirmed the man's identity and successfully located Chen Xue.
Chen Xue was a shampoo girl who had once served Zhou Jian'an. After she became pregnant by accident, she wanted to rely on Zhou Jian'an and get some money from him.
Chen Xue had no idea whose child was in her womb.
Of all the men she had served, Zhou Jian'an was not the strongest.
She only had one encounter with Zhou Jian'an that night, but with other guests, she could have several encounters in one night.
In Chen Xue's view, the more she did, the higher the probability that the child might not be Zhou Jian'an's. However, whether Zhou Jian'an was willing to pay or not was not important.
"Chen Xue, right? You know Zhao Qiang, don't you?"
Zhao Qiang is Chen Xue's lover.
Chen Xue nodded blankly, "I know her."
"What's your relationship?" Luo Kangcheng asked.
Chen Xue called herself a shampoo girl, but to put it bluntly, that's what people in that line of work are afraid of when they see the police, fearing they'll be fined, arrested, or thrown in jail. Luo Kangcheng's face was cold and stern, and he spoke without any expression, which made Chen Xue even more afraid.
Chen Xue shuddered, her eyes darting away. "I just... dated him for a while, but then he started going out to gamble frequently and even used my wallet to support other women, so I broke up with him."
Seeing that she was too nervous, Luo Kangcheng said:
"Don't be afraid. I'm not here to investigate your old profession. I just want to ask you some questions. If you answer truthfully and provide information that is useful to the police, I can let you off the hook this time."
The boss quickly gave Chen Xue a meaningful look.
The female boss, being knowledgeable and experienced, answered on Chen Xue's behalf:
"She dated Zhao Qiang for three months, around the second half of last year. Later, Zhao Qiang would rummage through her pockets and steal her money to gamble and support other women, so they broke up. All the women here know about this."
Chen Xue nodded repeatedly.
When was the last time you saw Zhao Qiang?
Chen Xue was stunned. She didn't dare to tell the truth. Last time, she transferred the work that Zhou Jian'an had given her to Zhao Qiang. The two agreed to split the profits equally, but Zhao Qiang disappeared after receiving the money. Chen Xue suspected that Zhou Jian'an had given him another sum of money.
He didn't want to share the money with himself, so he took it and went back to his hometown.
Luo Kangcheng noticed her hesitation. He was an experienced policeman, and someone like Chen Xue couldn't withstand his questioning.
“Speak your mind. If you conceal anything or obstruct law enforcement, you could face imprisonment.”
Chen Xue dared not hide it any longer and told her the specific time.
"You know Zhou Jian'an, right? What's your relationship with Zhou Jian'an? Did Zhou Jian'an contact Chen Qiang through you before?"
Chen Xue was terrified. She never expected it to be true. She thought that Zhao Qiang's kidnapping of Zhou Fangchun had been exposed and the police were going to settle accounts with them. Besides, the whole of Beijing knew about the mutual aid association running away with the money.
She's definitely going to jail.
She was really timid, so Luo Kangcheng had to resort to threats and inducements before Chen Xue finally stammered out the answer:
“I know him. He was my client. Before he ran away, he contacted me and asked me to find someone to detain Zhou Fangchun for a few days. He said he would give me a sum of money after I did it. I thought it would be a waste not to make money, and besides, it was only for a few days, so I asked Zhao Qiang to do it. But he took the money and ran away, and I never contacted him again.”
Luo Kangcheng stared at Chen Xue's face. The girl didn't seem to be lying, but the events were pretty much as he had guessed.
It's highly likely that Zhao Qiang was killed by Zhou Fangchun.
Chen Xue was afraid the police would arrest her for soliciting prostitution, so she said anxiously, "I served Zhou Jian'an last year, you can't arrest me for something that happened last year, can you?"
Luo Kangcheng stared at Chen Xue and said in a deep voice:
"We need you to go to the police station."
"Go to... the police station? Didn't you say you wouldn't be checking this time?"
Luo Kangcheng sighed, "It's not about that matter, I just want you to cooperate in identifying the body."
Chen Xue's face turned pale, thinking she had misheard, before realizing that Zhao Qiang had died on the night of the operation.
Cheng Lanjun cooperated perfectly, thinking that the newly arrived Director Luo was simply a genius. The intricate case was quickly resolved in his hands, and he even connected the case with the mutual aid association, making the whole case even more mysterious and perplexing.
As expected, Zhou Fangchun's case soon found a breakthrough.
Luo Kangcheng immediately targeted the mutual aid association upon arriving in Beijing, and then quickly solved a case involving an unidentified corpse impersonating a police officer.
Once this case is exposed, it will cause a sensation throughout China.
People will be amazed by the efficiency of the new director and praise him as a director who truly serves the people.
As expected, Luo Kangcheng is about to make a name for himself.
The new director's career advancement was made possible by this. Cheng Lanjun was glad that she had followed the right person and was more motivated to work. She quickly persuaded Chen Xue to identify the body and finally confirmed that the deceased was her ex-boyfriend Zhao Qiang.
With a breakthrough in the case, the next step is to figure out how to get Zhou Fangchun to talk.
Luo Kangcheng went to the interrogation room and met Zhou Fangchun in person. Zhou Fangchun stared at him for a long time. Of course she recognized Luo Kangcheng. Back in Deyang, Mao Guangyu had invited Luo Kangcheng to dinner, and Zhou Fangchun had gone with him. The two had met at the dinner party.
Back then, Luo Kangcheng hadn't been promoted to deputy director, nor had he become a vegetable.
He wasn't liked by the bureau chief, but because he was really capable, the Deyang Public Security Bureau chief was counting on him to get things done, and he was quite influential in Deyang.
When Luo Kangcheng encountered misfortune, Zhou Fangchun was quite saddened and said to Mao Guangyu:
"This kind of person is really stupid. He's willing to risk his life for anything, without even thinking that a human life is only once. Once he dies, it's all over, and no one will remember his kindness! He should at least learn from Old Zheng. Old Zheng is the most cunning. He won't save people when they fall into the water, but deliberately waits until they're dead before jumping in himself. Only Luo Kangcheng is stupid... He's become a vegetable, and his life is over."
