Chapter 73 Xu Zimu's Accident
Looking at the familiar face before him, Zhou Liwan said politely without showing any emotion, "Officers, please have a seat. May I ask what brings you here?"
Jiang Shiyue smiled but didn't reply. He simply strolled around the office slowly.
They will stop when they see something new and interesting, touch it, and play with it.
Seeing Jiang Shiyue's behavior, the person who came with him felt a little embarrassed and quickly took over the conversation: "It's like this, a dead body was found in the woods of Yaohe Rich District early this morning. According to our current investigation, the suspect has been identified as Xu Zimu, the young master of the Xu family."
Before the other person could finish speaking, Zhou Liwan interrupted her, her eyes wide with disbelief, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Zimu would never do such a thing!"
After circling around, Jiang Shiyue casually sat down on the sofa, picked up the tea that the receptionist had just brought, and took a big gulp.
A scornful sneer: "Zi Mu, calling me so affectionately, Miss Zhou hasn't forgotten that she's already engaged to the eldest son of the Chen family, has she?"
Zhou Liwan glared at her coldly: "What does this have to do with why you came to see me! Now, why do you suspect him, and why did you come to see me?"
“Shortly after the deceased entered the blind spot of the surveillance camera yesterday, Xu Zimu also appeared there, and it took him a long time to reappear in the next video surveillance segment. Before the body was discovered this morning, no one else was there.”
The officer in charge of taking notes was afraid that his captain might say something that would upset the witness, so he quickly explained the situation clearly.
Zhou Liwan frowned and said in a deep voice, "This video doesn't prove anything, does it? Besides, he got drunk at my house yesterday, maybe he just passed out somewhere along the way?"
"So that's why we came here to ask you about what happened that night?" the man said lazily. "You tell us everything from the moment he arrived at your house. As for whether he is the murderer or not, we will judge based on your testimony."
Zhou Liwan tried her best to calm herself down quickly. After taking a few deep breaths, she struggled to recall all the details of last night.
The officer in charge of taking notes was very attentive throughout, afraid of missing a single word, and would occasionally look up at Zhou Liwan.
"So he was very happy last night, and there was nothing unusual about him at all, right?"
Zhou Liwan nodded quickly: "A passionate boy who wanted to become a soldier so much, and was about to realize his dream, how could he kill someone for no reason? It doesn't make sense!"
Jiang Shiyue coldly interjected: "The logic of a murderer is different from that of a normal person."
Zhou Liwan stood up angrily and said to Jiang Shiyue, "He's still just a suspect. What makes you say that? As a police officer, don't you know that at the moment the judge makes his final judgment, he can't be, and won't be, the murderer you're talking about!"
Wei Fan quickly tried to smooth things over, but he couldn't help but wonder, "No, no! Madam, you've misunderstood. Our captain definitely didn't mean that."
[What's wrong with the captain? Did he eat a bomb today? Why does he act like he's on fire as soon as he arrives at this company?]
Zhou Liwan stared intently at Jiang Shiyue: "Officer Jiang, do you have a problem with me?"
Ever since that chance encounter at the police station, she could sense that this man always seemed to harbor some resentment towards her.
She wondered if she had offended him in some way, but she had absolutely no memory of him.
Jiang Shiyue pursed his lips and remained silent for a while. After a long while, he stood up and said with a stern face, "That's all for now. Thank you for your cooperation."
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back. Wei Fan hurriedly tidied up his notebook and gave Zhou Liwan an apologetic smile: "Then, Chairman Zhou, we'll be leaving now. Thank you for your cooperation."
After saying that, he chased after Jiang Shiyue's already disappeared figure.
After watching them leave, Zhou Liwan felt as if all her strength had been drained away, and she collapsed onto the sofa.
How could such a thing happen?
He's almost there to fulfill his dream, isn't he?
No, I have to go and see for myself. With that thought, Zhou Liwan quickly got ready and asked someone to take her back to the Jiang residence.
Along the way, the shadows of the trees along the roadside constantly swept across her face, but her heavy expression remained completely expressionless.
Soon the car had reached that familiar mountain road, and Zhou Liwan nervously stared at everything passing by through the car window.
Slowly, we finally saw the place where the body had been found, as the police officer had mentioned.
There were still obvious yellow warning tapes hanging there, and even though it had been a morning, there were still many people in police uniforms working back and forth.
"Old Wang, stop the car!"
The driver looked troubled, struggling to dissuade Zhou Liwan: "Miss, there are police everywhere here, and something like that just happened. If you stop now, President Jiang will definitely worry."
Zhou Liwan's eyes were dark as she said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense, I'm telling you to stop the car right now!"
Old Wang sighed helplessly and stopped a few hundred meters ahead of the murder site.
As soon as she opened the car door, Zhou Liwan ran towards that direction, but was quickly stopped by Uncle Hat at the scene.
"Miss! Miss! I'm sorry, a murder has occurred here, you can't go in."
Zhou Liwan said, "I'm not going in because I know this place better and I want to see if you have any questions or anything you might have. You can ask me for help."
The police car noticed that Zhou Liwan was dressed elegantly and had bodyguards and a driver, so they assumed she was a wealthy young lady living nearby. Since she didn't actually try to force her way in, they didn't stop her.
"Okay, thank you for your assistance. But please remember that this is a crime scene and taking photos or videos is not allowed."
Zhou Liwan nodded and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I won't."
After saying that, the police officers continued their investigation.
Zhou Liwan began to observe carefully. In the dense forest not far away, a group of technicians wearing protective suits were gathered. That should be where the body was found.
Since Jiang Shiyue and the others came to me just now and locked onto Xu Zimu so quickly, Zhou Liwan figured the deceased must have died a very gruesome death.
The possibility of suicide has been absolutely ruled out.
Furthermore, the fact that the person involved is the heir of the Xu family makes this matter quite significant.
The woods weren't deep, so it would be easy to spot someone passing by. Wasn't the murderer afraid at all?
Moreover, Jiang Shiyue's claim about blind spots in surveillance is also problematic. Apart from the woods, there are no blind spots in the entire Yaohe area.
Zhou Liwan suddenly raised her head, her eyes fixed on the camera not far away, and sure enough, she saw signs that it had been turned.
The camera is exposed to the wind and sun every day, so it's inevitable that it will accumulate dust. Most of the other cameras around it have a thin layer of dust, but that one is exceptionally clean.
