With the cannon fodder script in hand, it is easy for the king to change his fate

Lu Miao said he was preparing his lesson at the time and only replied with one sentence. He never expected that something would happen later. He should have gone down to check on things.

Even though the case was cleared up, Zhao Kehan's heart was not at ease.

This outcome is far from good; it comes at the cost of five lives, a heavy price to pay.

Sun Ling looked much more nervous than usual.

The police played a recording of Tan Ying's voice for her. It was from the same tape recorder Tan Ying had used before, and the voice was restored by their technicians. It was the same as that night.

She was listening, trying to recall if it was that sound from that night: "It sounds like that, but it's a little different from what I usually hear." Then her eyes widened. "Was I arguing with the tape recorder that day? Oh my god, is Su Zhen's mother really a serial killer?"

Zhao Kehan ​​suddenly walked in: "Tan Ying and Su Youcheng have already confessed."

Sun Ling was so frightened that she got goosebumps. There was nothing more for her to do here, and she should have left, but Xu Zhao was also called over for questioning, and she had to wait for Xu Zhao.

Zhao Kehan ​​appeared before Xu Zhao, waiting for him to explain things about Su Zhen.

"Actually, I had a vague feeling that something was off between Su Zhen and them, but I didn't want to cause trouble, so I didn't investigate further and just pretended not to notice. Liang Cheng comes from a well-off family and is a rich second-generation. Our project was able to start thanks to him. Zhou Jiayang is the principal's nephew, and neither of them are easy to mess with. Jiang Yizhou is Su Zhen's boyfriend, and he doesn't care. What can I, an outsider, do? Meddling in other people's business means getting into trouble. Indeed, I'm not exactly a kind-hearted person. I just want to study quietly and make some money. I don't want to get involved in anything else."

"In today's society, how many people who do good deeds or meddle in other people's business end up well?"

"But behind the scenes, I really didn't know they were playing these games. Thinking about it, Su Zhen is quite pitiful."

"Before Zhou Jiayang died, he told me that once when you were discussing cooperation with Mu Shiming, Su Zhen got drunk and was humiliated. Everyone in your dormitory remained silent. Later, she secretly met people with status and background, hoping to use this to deal with Mu Shiming," Zhao Kehan ​​said, while staring intently into Xu Zhao's eyes.

Xu Zhao was stunned, then quickly shook his head in denial: "That's what he said? That's not true at all! He's talking nonsense. As for when they started having that kind of relationship with Su Zhen, I really don't know."

When Zhao Kehan ​​learned that Mu Shiming was dead, he knew that Zhou Jiayang was probably lying, so he wasn't surprised to hear this answer now.

Of course, he didn't believe Xu Zhao's words either.

“However, Su Zhen did meet with Mu Shiming occasionally later,” Xu Zhao said. “After all, they had cooperated, so she must know a little bit. I doubt Officer Zhao would believe me if I said I knew nothing at all.”

Zhao Kehan ​​gave him a deep look, but he was already used to these people's lies and didn't say anything more.

Almost everyone involved is dead, so Xu Zhao has the final say.

For now, we can only leave things as they are without evidence.

“Although you’re not in the photo, there should actually be another character in it besides the photo,” Zhao Kehan ​​stared at Xu Zhao meaningfully and uttered two words, “the photographer.”

Xu Zhao quickly shook his head: "Officer Zhao, I know they're acting strangely, but I really don't know the specifics."

Zhao Kehan ​​didn't ask any more questions. There was no evidence, and Xu Zhao wouldn't admit it. He couldn't get any results from the questioning, so he let the person go.

"Captain Zhao, wasn't the case solved? Why do you still look so worried?" Jian Qi asked.

This series of falls has had a significant impact. Now that the culprit has been caught, everyone can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They hadn't slept well for a long time due to the immense pressure.

Seeing that Zhao Kehan ​​was still frowning and deep in thought, showing no sign of happiness, she couldn't help but ask a question.

"Do you find this story heartbreaking?" "Or does Captain Zhao want to find out the truth about what happened to Su Zhen back then?" she asked. This was probably difficult, as there was no evidence to point out what Xu Zhao had done, and they could not force Xu Zhao to do anything.

Based on their experience in handling cases, they didn't think Xu Zhao knew nothing.

Zhao Kehan ​​shook his head: "It went too smoothly. It doesn't feel right. I feel like something's missing. Maybe it's just my imagination."

He stubbed out his cigarette and stood up: "I'll go take another look at those pieces of evidence; perhaps I'll make some new discoveries."

For some reason, he felt uneasy.

Jian Qi did not stop him, clearly knowing Zhao Kehan's personality, and simply shook her head in place.

Outside the police station, Sun Ling saw Xu Zhao come out and breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly went to greet him: "Xu Zhao, are you alright?"

"It's alright, Officer Zhao was very polite, he was just asking some questions," Xu Zhao sighed softly. "Suddenly, it all feels like a dream. If I had noticed the strangeness between them back then, paid more attention, and been more attentive, would things have turned out differently today?"

“I don’t know either.” Sun Ling shook her head gently. “But I know that as ordinary people, we can’t interfere with those things at all, and we’ll probably offend people, which will make it difficult for you to move an inch.”

“We ordinary people don’t have that ability, so we shouldn’t meddle in other people’s business, otherwise we’ll easily get ourselves into trouble. Aren’t there many such things in society? Xu Zhao, this kind of thing is not your fault, and you have no obligation to do those things. Don’t blame yourself.”

Xu Zhao took a deep breath: "I know, you've been scared lately, haven't you? Let's prepare properly and go study abroad. I really don't want to come back to this place anytime soon, and I don't want to remember it either. Some things, once you peel back the layers, reveal a layer that's too unfamiliar to believe."

Schools have reopened.

The news that Tan Ying and Su Youcheng were arrested, and that they were the murderers in several cases, spread throughout the school.

Some were shocked, others sighed.

What's still intriguing now is what the people in dormitory 4508 did to Su Zhen; the public discussion is even more heated than before.

Xu Zhao was preparing to study abroad and hadn't returned to school. He had others handle some things for him, but some busybodies still messaged him asking what his dorm had done to Su Zhen.

As Xu Zhao's girlfriend, Sun Ling was naturally not spared.

Sun Ling was a strong-willed person. Seeing that she was about to go abroad, she didn't care much about the gossip at school and eventually stopped coming to school altogether.

"Team Leader Zhao, you've been staring at these ropes for ages, have you found anything?" Jian Qi was really puzzled. It's come to this point, and you still haven't given up. Could there be something you've missed?

Although she sympathized with Su Zhen's plight and felt sorry for Su Zhen's parents, they had indeed committed a crime.

Zhao Kehan ​​suddenly took out a ruler and measured the length of several sections of hemp rope.

He stood up, and Jian Qi followed him out, asking anxiously, "Captain Zhao, is there any new discovery?"

Zhao Kehan ​​turned around and saw Jian Qi's expectant face. He said, "We'll only know after we buy a new bundle of hemp rope. I suspect... these hemp ropes haven't been used. Maybe they were going to be used, but in the end they weren't."

Never used it before?
Jianqi's eyes widened. Did that mean Su Zhen's parents might not be the murderers? Then who could it be?
She quickly caught up with Zhao Kehan. (End of Chapter)
