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

Zhao Kehan ​​arrived at a general store in a certain district of Ning City, which was the same general store where Su Youcheng bought the hemp rope.

Jianqi had been here a few days ago, so the owner of the grocery store recognized her and readily brought out bundles of brand-new hemp rope.

The hemp ropes here come in different lengths, the shortest being ten meters and the longest being one hundred meters.

As Zhao Kehan ​​listened to the shopkeeper's introduction, his gaze fell on the twenty-meter hemp rope. After careful inspection, he confirmed that Su Youcheng had indeed bought the twenty-meter rope. He had measured it before, and as he had guessed, Su Youcheng probably hadn't had a chance to use the hemp rope yet.

The ropes used to bind Liang Cheng and the others were bought here.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have identified Su Youcheng as one of the murderers, but now it seems uncertain.

Could there be a third murderer?
He sensed that things here were not simple.

Unfortunately, this small grocery store had no surveillance cameras. The fact that Su Youcheng bought hemp rope here was only because the shop owner had a good memory and the incident had indeed happened not long ago.

Also, most of the people who come here to buy things are from the neighborhood, so a new face leaves a pretty deep impression.

After thinking for a moment, Zhao Kehan ​​took out his phone, showed a photo to his boss, and asked, "Has this person been here?"

Jianqi stood on tiptoe to take a look and was somewhat surprised.

Ah-Zhou was also a little curious, so she floated over to take a look and couldn't help but smile. No wonder he was a policeman; he really was suspicious of everyone.

This photo is of An Shuo, but Officer Zhao may be disappointed, as An Shuo has never been here before.

The shop owner shook his head repeatedly: "Never seen one before, never seen one like this. If such a handsome young man appeared in front of me, I would remember him for the rest of my life."

"What about this one?" Zhao Kehan ​​swiped over An Shuo's photo, and a new face appeared. "Do you recognize him?"

A-Lan glanced at it and saw that this time it was a photo of Lu Miao, the counselor of the client. This Officer Zhao really did prepare quite well.

"I don't know him either, I've never seen him before," the grocery store owner said. "Although he's not as handsome as that young man before, he's still quite good-looking and looks very strong. If I've seen him before, I definitely won't forget him."

Zhao Kehan ​​took a deep breath, ignored Jian Qi's strange look, and swiped through the photos again. This time it was Xu Zhao's, and he still got the shopkeeper's shake of his head.

Finally, he even produced photos of the client's fifteen-year-old brother and three roommates, which of course were also rejected.

Jian Qi, who was watching from the sidelines, was already numb. If it weren't for the fact that this new discovery was true, she would have thought that her team leader Zhao had been driven crazy.

Su Zhen's three roommates are all delicate young girls who don't seem to exercise regularly or have any martial arts background. They probably wouldn't be a match for a few big boys.

Zhao Kehan ​​was truly at a loss, unable to find any clues for the time being. However, the most important evidence of Su Youcheng's murder had encountered a problem, and the case definitely needed to be investigated further; it couldn't be closed just like that.

Before this, Xu Zhao was even in danger.

There might be another murderer, or it might be a third murderer.

Su Youcheng and Tan Ying confessed that they did the work in order to protect the real culprit and buy time for the other party.

Suddenly, Zhao Kehan ​​quickly opened his phone and dialed Xu Zhao's number. Fortunately, the call was answered quickly.

"Officer Zhao, is there anything else?"

"Do you have any bodyguards with you? There might be a third assailant. Be careful, I'll send someone over to keep an eye on them right away."

Xu Zhao seemed startled as well: "Okay, Officer Zhao, don't worry. Too much has happened lately. My bodyguards are here and will always protect me, even when I go abroad." Zhao Kehan ​​finally breathed a sigh of relief. That's good.

But who will be the third murderer?

With his mind full of thoughts, Zhao Kehan ​​was about to turn and leave when the grocery store owner behind him called out to him, "Officer, I just remembered something."

Zhao Kehan ​​turned around and saw the proprietress coming out from inside. He asked, "Please speak."

"Here's the thing, a while ago a bundle of 20 meters of hemp rope went missing from our shop, but it wasn't stolen. They left the corresponding amount of money in its original spot. I thought it was just something the neighbor didn't see and needed the money urgently, so I didn't pay much attention to it, since we didn't lose anything. But after hearing what you said today, I felt that this matter could be of help to you."

After saying that, Zhao Kehan ​​finally breathed a sigh of relief, but since the grocery store had no surveillance cameras, it would be difficult to find the person.

However, the grocery store doesn't have surveillance cameras, but other places might.

He glanced at Jian Qi: "Jian Qi, I'm leaving this matter to you."

"Okay, Captain Zhao," Jian Qi replied quickly. As soon as Zhao Kehan ​​left, she went to the shop owner and asked her when the incident had occurred. After learning the approximate time, she went to look for surveillance cameras nearby. It wouldn't be long; perhaps she could find some clues.

Back at the police station, Zhao Kehan ​​first arranged for someone to keep an eye on Xu Zhao.

At the same time, he reinvestigated the relevant people, this time including Su Zhen's roommate, An Shuo, Lu Miao, and even the past of several deceased people. He decided to investigate them in detail.

Now that it has been confirmed that there is a third murderer, anyone besides Su Zhen's parents could be the culprit.

These people come from all over the country, and it won't be easy to retrieve their past information in a short time, but Zhao Kehan ​​has experienced this kind of thing too many times and is very patient.

However, they need to hurry, since Xu Zhao will soon be going abroad to study. There is no evidence to suggest that he has committed a crime, and they have no reason to block his path to education.

Zhao Kehan's meticulous investigation actually uncovered something extraordinary.

You wouldn't know unless you investigated, and it turns out that the person he suspected and the person in 4508 really did have some connection.

Lu Miao, Su Zhen's counselor, had her parents divorce when she was in junior high school and went to live abroad with her father.

He also has a younger sister who lives in China with her mother. Her original name was Lu Xue, but she later changed her surname to Ruan Xue, taking her mother's surname. When Ruan Xue was in junior high school, she was bullied by a classmate who was also a minor. The matter was eventually settled after she received compensation.

Her mother took Ruan Xue away from that small county town, and the junior high school boy who committed the crime also left.

This boy later changed his name; his current name is Zhou Jiayang.

Zhao Kehan ​​took a deep breath. So, Lu Miao probably had a motive too, and might be the third murderer.

But... he looked at the next document.

It's about An Shuo. He was born into a single-parent family. His father died unexpectedly when his mother was four months pregnant. At that time, the only option for abortion was induced labor. His mother was only eighteen years old at the time and had no relatives to rely on, so she chose to give birth to him.

From then on, the mother and son depended on each other for survival.

His mother disappeared when he was in high school. She was preparing to go abroad to work, as she had heard that the salaries there were very high, but the matter was never resolved.

It wasn't clear what was going on here, but he noticed in the documents that the overseas agency An Shuo's mother, An Mei, had contacted was owned by Xu Zhao's parents. (End of Chapter)
