Chapter 326 Suspicious Person
Wu Sangui: "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go straight to his house and search it."
Xu Lin: "He has elderly parents and a wife who just got married. One of them lost their son, and the other lost their husband. Isn't it a bit inhumane to go over and ask about this and that now?"
Wu Sangui: "I'm not saying anything bad about you, Xu Lin, but you women are too soft-hearted when it comes to handling matters. We must seize the 72 golden hours to handle cases."
Xu Lin: "Okay, since you said so, let's go up and take a look."
Wu Sangui, Xu Lin and Xiang Yingying came to Zhao Lei's home together.
Zhao Lei's elderly mother was still weeping and crying out for the murderer to be caught as soon as possible. She fainted a short while later, and everyone hurriedly helped her to the sofa to rest.
Zhao Lei's wife seemed much calmer.
After showing her police ID, Zhao Lei's wife asked: "You are all Zhao Lei's colleagues, right?"
Xu Lin: "Yes, we came here specially to see him off, and we also came here on behalf of other colleagues to see if you need any help."
Father Zhao: "We just need to bring the murderer to justice as soon as possible."
Wu Sangui: "Which room does Zhao Lei usually rest and work in?"
Zhao Lei's wife: "He is rarely at home. That room is where he spends the most time in this house."
Wu Sangui: "Would you mind letting us in to take a look?"
Zhao Lei's wife: "If you're here to investigate a case, just go in! There's nothing shameful going on in there."
Wu Sangui and Xu Lin walked in, leaving only Xiang Yingying, Zhao Lei's wife and father chatting in the hall.
Wu Sangui carefully observed the room and its furnishings but found nothing unusual. He opened the drawers but found no valuables, and even few of the clothes were branded.
Xu Lin: "What do you think?"
Wu Sangui: "At his age and with such a low income, this kind of life is clearly inappropriate for his status. It's a bit too simple. This place must have been tampered with."
Xu Lin: "Keep your voice down. I agree with you. I can't think of anyone else who could have done something here except his family."
Wu Sangui picked up a photo of Zhao Lei and his wife on the table and said, "Did you see that? The Rolex diamond watch on Zhao Lei's wrist is worth at least 200,000 yuan, and the limited edition Hermès platinum crocodile bag his wife is carrying must also cost tens of thousands."
Xu Lin: "But where do all these things go now?"
Wu Sangui: "You'll have to ask the guy outside."
Xu Lin: "To avoid alerting the enemy, now is not the right time. I thought she knew nothing at the time and felt guilty for a while. It turns out she is not innocent either."
Wu Sangui: "By the way, how is Yue Xiaofeng?"
Xu Lin: "He's become a vegetable."
Wu Sangui was stunned for a moment, then put down the photo frame.
"Damn it! I'll definitely catch that bastard myself."
Xu Lin: "How come I didn't know you two had such a deep relationship before? It seems like you care about him a lot!"
Wu Sangui: "That's for sure. Even if I tell you about brotherhood between men, you won't understand."
Xu Lin: "I don't understand what you're thinking! Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have let him go there alone. You're the only one who knows so much, so tell me why you know so much about luxury brands?"
Wu Sangui: "I used to work in the Anti-Corruption Bureau and the Discipline Inspection Commission. To be honest, I can tell whether the luxury goods you are wearing are genuine within two meters."
Xu Lin: "You are amazing!"
Wu Sangui then noticed a safe hidden on the bedside table.
The two looked at each other and nodded.
Xu Lin walked to the hall and said to Zhao Lei's wife, "Mrs. Zhao, could you open the safe next to your bed and let us see?"
Father Zhao: "Why do you want to see what's in there? Did my Zhao Lei do something wrong?"
Wu Sangui: "Don't misunderstand me, sir. I just thought there might be clues to solve the case, so I wanted to see what's inside. If it's inconvenient for you, forget it! Just pretend we never said anything."
Zhao Lei's wife: "It's okay, Dad, they are also investigating the case. Maybe there is something important in it!"
After saying that, she walked inside and opened the safe.
"Officers, please take a look and see if you can find what you are looking for."
Wu Sangui reached in and took out the items one by one and looked at them carefully.
After a while, Xu Lin asked, "Are you done? Any important clues?"
After Wu Sangui slowly put everything in, he shook his head.
Zhao Lei's wife: "I'm sorry, officers, I can't help you."
Xu Lin: "We are truly sorry for causing you trouble. Please accept my condolences! We will definitely catch the real culprit as soon as possible."
Zhao Lei's wife: "Thank you so much."
Wu Sangui: "It's my duty, and Zhao Lei is our brother! Xiang Yingying, let's go. Sorry for disturbing you."
Zhao Lei’s wife: “No need to see you off, take care!”
The three of them returned to the car. Xiang Yingying asked, "How is it? Did you really not find anything in there?"
Wu Sangui: "You little bitch, come on if you have the guts!"
Xu Lin: "Don't scare her. Zhao Lei has a problem. Xiang Yingying, you and Wu Sangui will take turns following his wife for the next three days."
Xiang Yingying: "What does it have to do with his wife?"
Wu Sangui: "We suspect she hid all the stolen goods and evidence of Zhao Lei's bribery."
Xiang Yingying: "Then why don't we just take her back to the police station for questioning?"
Xu Lin: "If you were her now, would you confess everything in this situation?"
Xiang Yingying fell silent.
After two days of tracking, Zhao Lei's wife either went out to buy groceries or stayed at home without going out, so Xiang Yingying and the others got nothing.
That day, when Wu Sangui came to take over the shift, Xiang Yingying couldn't help but complain to him.
"This woman is so cunning. She hasn't revealed anything in two days. It's really abominable."
Wu Sangui: "Two days is nothing. I once followed a case and it took me over a month to find the evidence. What you did is child's play."
Just when Xiang Yingying was about to leave the car, she suddenly saw Zhao Lei's wife coming out of the house and getting into a taxi.
Xiang Yingying: "Captain Wu, hurry up, catch up with her!"
Wu Sangui: "Do you still want to get off the car?"
Xiang Yingying: "Stop talking nonsense and chase after him! Otherwise you'll lose him."
Wu Sangui stepped on the accelerator and followed.
The taxi stopped in front of a bowling alley, and Zhao Lei's wife got out and walked straight inside.
Wu Sangui: "She has lost her patience and revealed her true colors."
Xiang Yingying: "I'll go in and find out what's going on."
About 30 minutes later, Zhao Lei's wife came out and took a taxi away.
Xiang Yingying: "I'll go in and check to see if there are any clues. You continue to follow her."
After saying that, the two of them went their separate ways.
As soon as Xiang Yingying walked in, she came to the counter and asked, "Hello, I want to ask you something!"
Receptionist: "Excuse me, would you like to apply for a membership card or upgrade to VIP membership? We recently launched a new package that is very affordable!"
