Chapter 119
Song Zhou pointed at Zhang You unceremoniously and said, "Officer Zhang was right next to me when the explosion happened. Officer Zhang, did you see me make any movements like pressing a remote control?"
Zhang You thought about it for a moment and hesitated, "At that time, you were standing behind Teacher Chen..."
Song Zhou's face darkened: "What do you mean?"
Zhang You was a little panicked, but he still insisted on his principle and said, "I didn't see it clearly!"
Chang Ting raised his hand and waved it between the two of them, intercepting the gaze that was piercing Zhang You like a knife:
"Okay, okay, go eat Zhang You. Who said they suspected you, Song Zhou? You just rushed forward on your own? Why are young people so hot-tempered?" He paused, "I believe it wasn't you."
Song Zhou restrained himself and glanced at him warily: "Will you trust me so unconditionally?"
Chang Ting frowned: "What nonsense are you talking about? How can it be unconditional? I have circumstantial evidence!"
Song Zhou was a little suspicious: "What circumstantial evidence?"
Chang Ting did not answer, but evaded the question by saying, "The on-site investigation has already found the remains of a lighter, and after comparison, it turned out to be Xu Candong's.
"However, there are indeed no remains of the remote control. The remote control has metal parts, so it shouldn't be burned to the point where there is no trace left.
“It is possible that the item is too small and difficult to find.
"The investigation is not over yet. If we still can't find him, it means there might be another person lurking nearby the whole time.
"After seeing the three of you leave, this person entered the workshop, picked up the remote control, retreated to a safe distance, and then used the remote control to ignite the lighter, causing an explosion that killed Xing Yao.
"Common sense suggests that this person is most likely another murderer. He viewed Xing Yao as a pawn and didn't want him to fall into the hands of the police and betray him, so he killed him to silence him.
"But right now, firstly, we haven't found any physical evidence yet, and secondly... we haven't locked down a suspect yet."
Hearing this, Song Zhou asked in disbelief, "Are there no suspects?"
After the comic was updated with the "Collapse Chapter", old students from the Zangmo Base had already found out in the comment section that "Xing Yao" was Principal Zhu's Assistant Xing.
When Song Zhou saw these messages, he, like Chang Ting and Chen He, had already regarded Zhu Zangmo as the biggest suspect.
Chang Ting's eyes flashed with dark clouds, and he said sullenly, "I know who you are referring to. I originally thought I had locked it in, but it has been proven that Zhu Zangmo was not at the scene on the night of the explosion.
"Of course, this doesn't mean he's definitely not a suspect. I believe that as long as we keep investigating, the truth will come out sooner or later."
Chang Ting paused and added slowly, "No matter what."
Song Zhou heard something behind his words and couldn't help but look up at him.
Chang Ting didn't look at him, but just lowered his head and fiddled with his phone.
The room suddenly fell silent.
It was so quiet that Zhang You looked up from the computer and looked at this and that in confusion.
"Okay, let's stop here." Chang Ting reached out and turned off the law enforcement recorder. "Zhang You, I just sent you a red envelope."
Zhang You was overjoyed: "Thank you, boss!"
"What are you thanking me for? I asked you to buy some fruit. Your teacher Chen will be here soon. Shouldn't you mention the standard of hospitality?"
Zhang You pursed his lips and said, "Fifty isn't enough. It's winter now, and good fruits are expensive."
Chang Ting gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, okay, I'll give you another fifty. Go buy it!"
"Okay!"
Zhang You ran away happily.
Song Zhou immediately stood up from his chair.
Chang Ting walked towards the window, and when he passed by him, he raised his hand and pressed his shoulder, pushing him back into the chair.
"Let's talk for a while."
Song Zhou looked at him warily: "What are you talking about?"
Chang Ting walked to the window and leaned against the windowsill, standing with his back to the light, his expression unclear: "The machines are all turned off, let's talk privately."
Song Zhou's body tensed silently.
Chang Ting's voice was casual, indeed the rhythm of a casual chat: "I remembered something these two days.
"After Qiu Yue disappeared, I heard from colleagues that someone claiming to be Qiu Yue's relative came to the police station to inquire about the progress of the investigation.
"But when I asked him to leave his name, he disappeared at some point. You should know who this person is, right?"
Song Zhou did not answer.
Chang Ting didn't expect an answer, and stroked his frizzy hair fiercely, "Well, I'll break the rules to the end.
"Yesterday, we took a statement from Niu Zhuangzhuang.
"Maybe because he's overweight, the dose of anesthesia Xing Yao injected him wasn't enough. He actually woke up a long time ago."
Song Zhou's pupils trembled and he froze like a wooden sculpture.
