"Yes, there is such a girl. Her name is Zhou Ping. She seems to be 28 years old. In fact, she has only been here for more than a month."

"Why is a 28-year-old girl coming to your dance hall? Is there something wrong?" Ye Lin guided her.

When Yang Dazhi heard this, he knew what Sister Hua had said.

He slapped his thigh and said, "Yes, Zhou Ping suffers from depression. I didn't want her to come to our dance hall, but her father came to me to plead for her."

"He said that the child had been depressed since childhood and had always refused to interact with people outside. Now he suddenly became interested in the dance hall. He hoped that I could agree to let the child come over and sit for a while, so that I could help the child a little bit."

Yang Dazhi spread his hands and said, "I am a soft-hearted person. I agreed as soon as she asked me to do it. That's why she has been coming here often in the past month."

"Comrade police officer, you know what, after coming a few times I feel that her illness has indeed improved a lot, especially when she is facing Old Zhao, she is talking and laughing like a normal person." Yang Dazhi was a little smug and felt that he had done a great thing.

"Did Zhou Ping come on the evening of July 7rd?"

"July 7? The day before yesterday?" Yang Dazhi thought for a moment, then shook his head. "No, only Lao Zhao came."

"Then give us Zhou Ping's contact information. We need to find her to find out the situation." Ye Lin said to Yang Dazhi.

"I have her father's number. Her father always waits in the car outside the dance hall entrance. I have his number." Yang Dazhi took out his cell phone.

Zhou Bin, this is the name of Zhou Ping’s father.

Ye Lin wrote it down and looked at Yu Haifeng. There was basically nothing else to ask.

"We will stop here for today. We will continue to come if there is a need."

The two of them explained everything as usual and then left.

On the way back, Ye Lin discussed the situation of these people with Yu Haifeng.

"Captain Yu, do you think these people are suspicious?"

"Zhao Youquan was a man who had affairs with other women all over the place. He died in a hotel with good privacy. It was most likely a murder of passion."

"Tomorrow we will start with these three people and dig deeper. Who knows, we might find something."

"Also, who was the person that Lao Zhao wanted to meet that night? Check the surveillance cameras and see if you can see him."

[July 7, three days after the incident]

Early in the morning, Wang Longxin walked in with red and swollen eyes.

"Captain Yu, we checked the surveillance cameras around the dance hall that night and indeed found Zhao Youquan."

"He left the dance hall before 12 o'clock, got in a taxi and left."

"We also contacted the taxi driver, and he vaguely remembered that Zhao Youquan took a taxi to this place."

Wang Longxin took out a map and pointed to a place.

Ye Lin frowned, "Isn't this the street next to the Jiayue Hotel, where the surveillance is broken?"

Wang Longxin gave a bitter smile and said, "Captain Ye, it is true. The subsequent surveillance footage is completely invisible."

Yu Haifeng's face was gloomy, another clue was broken.

He was silent for a while, then said, "Summon Zhang Yuli, Wang Yamei, and Zhou Ping and record their statements to find out where they went on the night of the incident."

At present, these three people have the closest relationship with Zhao Youquan and are most likely to have committed the crime.

Zhang Yuli was very resistant to being summoned, but she had no choice. After arriving at the police station, she said unhappily, "I don't know why you called me. I haven't committed any crime. Don't we have to work so early in the morning?"

Ye Lin sat opposite her calmly, watching her complain.

Zhang Yuli is 46 years old this year, but she looks younger and has a pretty face. She must have been very beautiful when she was young.

She's just a bit aggressive, and feels like someone who has been in society for many years.

"Zhang Yuli, there is a reason why I called you here. Please cooperate." Seeing that she had almost made enough trouble, Ye Lin raised his voice.

"Cooperate, cooperate. You policemen are so powerful. I will cooperate." Zhang Yuli sneered with an unconvinced look on her face.

"Name." Ye Lin began to ask.

"Zhang Yuli." Zhang Yuli rolled her eyes at Ye Lin.

"Profession."

“Self-employed.”

"Please tell me clearly what your specific occupation is." Ye Lin said sternly.

"It's a hotpot restaurant, a beef hotpot restaurant. They cut the beef freshly and cook it in the pot. That's specific enough, isn't it?" Zhang Yuli has a bad temper.

Ye Lin ignored her attitude, as long as she was willing to talk.

He took out a photo and showed it to Zhang Yuli, "Zhao Youquan, do you know him?"

Zhang Yuli's expression changed visibly when she saw Lao Zhao's photo, and then returned to normal. "I know him. I met him at the dance hall. We are good friends. What's wrong?"

"My husband is dead, can't I find another man?"

Zhang Yuli did not try to hide anything and readily revealed their relationship.

"It's not illegal for you to date, but I don't know whether you have broken the law or not." Ye Lin said, staring straight at Zhang Yuli.

Zhang Yuli's eyes flashed with panic, and she began to rub her hands vigorously. She said calmly, "I didn't break the law. He has a wife. What we did was immoral at best."

Ye Lin was a little confused. With Zhang Yuli being such a hot-tempered person, she should not care about the fact that Zhao Youquan had a wife.

You have to know that in order to snatch a man, she could even fight with Wang Yamei in the dance hall. How could she care about Liu Jinmei who never showed up?

"You know he has a wife?"

"What's wrong with having a wife? They have nothing in common. A man like You Quan should find a capable woman. How can a rigid woman like his wife be worthy of him?" Zhang Yuli was very disdainful of Liu Jinmei.

"Do you know his wife?"

"I don't know him. I just heard from Lao Zhao that his wife only knows how to cook and watch TV at home. She has no interest in romance at all."

Ye Lin did not comment. He thought that it would be nice to live a comfortable life at an old age. There were not many people like Zhao Youquan who went out to have affairs with other girls.

"Now let me ask you, where were you on the night of July 7?" Ye Lin turned the subject back to the main topic.

"July 7." Zhang Yuli said expressionlessly, "At home, watching TV."

"Are you so sure?"

"Well, I was not feeling well that night, so I didn't go to the store and went home to rest." Zhang Yuli said naturally.

"Can anyone prove it?" Ye Lin asked.

"There is one person in my family, where is the proof?"

"No, you asked me so many questions, what is it? Can I know?" Zhang Yuli said impatiently.

Ye Lin looked at her calmly and said softly, "Zhao Youquan is dead. He died on the night of July 7. We initially suspect it was homicide."

Zhang Yuli, who was very irritable just now, was completely stunned when she heard the news of Zhao Youquan's death. She stayed there for 5 seconds.
