Su He nodded, not surprised at all, and then looked at Captain Yu and the others, asking, "Captain Yu, do you have anything to add?"
Captain Yu shook his head. "Generally speaking, no. But we've already investigated Zheng Jiabao's classmates, and what they said is pretty much the same. When they parted after drinking, Zheng Jiabao was a little swaying, but because he was still conscious, we didn't see him off."
Su He nodded, "Okay, but we'll have to ask again later, preferably to find out what time they parted ways, to see if there's a definite time."
Captain Yu shook his head. "We asked them too, but none of them had watches and they had been drinking, so they don't remember very clearly. They only know that it was dark and there weren't many people on the street."
Su He frowned. This was not a good situation, but no matter how you looked at it, Zheng Jiabao was the most suspicious person right now.
"Should we arrest him and interrogate him?" Hu Xing asked.
Su He thought for a moment, then shook her head. "Let's not do it for now. We don't have any concrete evidence yet. Let's investigate further."
Seeing her expression, Hu Xing understood. "You also think he doesn't seem like it, right?"
Su He nodded. "Indeed, what he said today seemed quite sincere, but we can't be completely sure, since no one knows if he's lying or not."
Moreover, the possibility that he is the murderer is very high. A teenager, drunk and intoxicated, suddenly sees his father's killer on a quiet road. With the right timing, location, and circumstances, it's not surprising that he accidentally kills someone.
"But, according to your guesses today, if what Aunt Wang said is true, then the murderer planned it in advance. So if it was him, then it wasn't an impulsive killing. Do you think he planned it?"
Su He thought for a moment, then looked at Captain Yu, "Who made the appointment between Zheng Jiabao and his classmate to go fishing that day? And who brought the alcohol?"
"Catching fish was an accident. They were just strolling around the street with their classmates when they saw others catching fish, and that's when they decided to try catching some themselves."
As for the alcohol, it was taken by one of them named Li Gang. Li's parents both worked at the winery, on night shifts, and since no one was home, they went to his house to cook fish. Li Gang stole some of the wine from his house and gave it to them to drink.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xing thoughtfully remarked, "It all seems like a coincidence!"
Su He nodded, "Yes, and even if it was prepared in advance, how did he know that Hu Meiling was going out so late? She didn't even tell her daughter-in-law."
So even if he encountered it that night, it would definitely have been an accident. And even if he had prepared for it beforehand, how did he plan to kill him?
Upon hearing this, everyone shook their heads. Indeed, although Zheng Jiabao seemed to have the most time to commit the crime, many of the events were coincidences, and upon closer examination, he seemed even less like the murderer.
"If it's not him, then who could it be?"
Qi Yang said, "If it's not him, then the other two don't seem like him either. Does that mean we've suspected the wrong person?"
But who else is there?
Since this person was likely prepared in advance, even digging the pit beforehand, then he had been planning to kill him for a long time. How did he plan to kill him?
And why did they have to kill him that night?
Did he know that Hu Meiling would go out at night, or was he spying on their house all along?
Or is there something we don't know about this?
Actually, Hu Meiling has a hidden enemy we don't know about, waiting to take revenge on her?
