Chapter 606 Zhou Jinjie

and many more.

Insurance fraud!

Liang Xiaorou said this is an insurance fraud case!

But looking at it now, it doesn't seem like insurance fraud!

Li Fei patiently continued reading.

Now I know why it was insurance fraud.

It turns out that two days ago, Zhou Jinjie contacted the insurance company and asked them to pay him compensation.

Insurance companies certainly wouldn't believe it so easily.

They went to the police station for an investigation and discovered that the deceased was indeed Li Wenfang.

According to normal procedures, once the deceased is identified, the insurance company should compensate Zhou Jinjie.

However, because Li Fei solved Guan Dewen's insurance fraud case three years ago, the insurance company became more wary of similar cases.

Although the police have issued a certificate confirming Li Wenfang's death, the insurance company still wants the police to investigate further.

Therefore, the insurance company contacted the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit, since it was the West Kowloon Regional Crime Unit that solved the Kwan Tak-man case.

Raymond was initially reluctant to agree, since Li Wenfang's case was not under their police station's jurisdiction, and they could not interfere in other police station's cases across regions.

Those who run insurance companies probably all have connections. One phone call from an insurance company representative and Raymond soon received a notification from his superiors, instructing them to thoroughly investigate Li Wenfang's case.

Raymond then handed the case over to Liang Xiaorou.

Raymond knew that Li Fei might help with any case Liang Xiaorou took on, since Liang Xiaorou was his woman.

Li Fei closed the file and rubbed his temples. He felt a sense of familiarity with the case, as if it were a case from a TV series he had watched in his previous life.

"How is it?" Liang Xiaorou asked expectantly as she took the document.

"Let me think."

Li Fei closed his eyes and began to recall.

A little over a minute later, Li Fei finally remembered what case it was, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

"Ah Fei, is this an insurance fraud case? Or a dismemberment case?"

Seeing Li Fei's expression, Liang Xiaorou quickly asked.

“It’s an insurance fraud case, and also a dismemberment case!” Li Fei said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Liang Xiaorou frowned and pondered for a moment before saying, "You mean Zhou Jinjie murdered his wife Li Wenfang, dismembered her body, and then defrauded insurance money?"

Liang Xiaorou's guess was quite normal. According to the previous police investigation, Zhou Jinjie and Li Wenfang did not have a good relationship. The neighbors often saw the two arguing.

According to Li Fei, Liang Xiaorou's reasoning is not wrong.

However, she overlooked the murderer's actions. If Zhou Jinjie wanted to commit insurance fraud, shouldn't he have made Li Wenfang's identity more obvious instead of obscuring the deceased's identity?

"I don't know, but we can investigate." Of course, Li Fei couldn't tell Liang Xiaorou everything. After all, some things were hard to explain. He could only wait and investigate while gradually revealing the truth.

"Then how do we investigate?" Liang Xiaorou asked.

Li Fei thought for a moment, then turned to Chen Sanyuan and said, "I'm sorry, Sanyuan, I have things to do and can't take you back."

"It's alright, I can go back by myself. You go ahead and do what you need to do!" Chen Sanyuan said with a smile.

Li Fei hugged Chen Sanyuan, then kissed her, before leaving the office with Liang Xiaorou.

……

After inviting Shen Xiong, Li Fei and Liang Xiaorou arrived at Zhou Jinjie's house.

Just as Shen Xiong was about to knock on the door, it was suddenly opened, revealing a well-dressed man in his forties staring in astonishment at Li Fei and the other two.

“Mr. Zhou,” Shen Xiong called out.

"What are you doing? Who are you?" Zhou Jinjie looked at Li Fei and the other two warily.

Shen Xiong took out his identification and said, "We are from the West Kowloon Major Crimes Unit."

"Three officers, what can I do for you?" Zhou Jinjie asked cautiously.

Li Fei smiled and said, "Dressed so formally, where are you headed?"

"Go to...work."

Zhou Jinjie hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Li Fei smiled inwardly. What do you mean by going to work? That's obviously a lie. How could a normal person be in the mood to go to work after his wife suddenly dies?
He must have gone to see Li Wenfang secretly!
However, Li Fei had no intention of exposing him.

"I am heartbroken that my wife died, but so many people in the factory depend on me for their livelihood. Officers, come in and let's talk!"

Zhou Jinjie realized he had said the wrong thing, explained himself briefly, and then let Li Fei and the other two in.

"Please take a seat."

Zhou Jinjie invited the three of them to sit on the sofa, then took out a cigarette and said, "Want a smoke?"

"no need."

Neither Li Fei nor Liang Xiaorou smoked, so they waved their hands in refusal.

Although Shen Xiong smoked, he knew he was there to do serious business and refused to smoke.

Liang Xiaorou glanced at the tea table and saw many newspapers on it, each carrying news about Li Wenfang's dismemberment case, which immediately aroused her suspicion.

Generally speaking, when a husband's wife dies, he will be in a period of grief and will certainly not be very focused on external matters.

But Zhou Jinjie was different; he was surprisingly concerned about the Li Wenfang dismemberment case.

Even ordinary people wouldn't buy so many newspapers just for one case.

Psychologically speaking, if someone is paying close attention to a case, then that person is either the murderer or a police officer.

The police are concerned because they want to catch the murderer, but what are the murderer concerned about?
Needless to say, they are concerned about whether their identity as the murderer has been exposed, or what stage the police investigation has reached.

So, which type of concern does Zhou Jinjie have for his wife's case?

Liang Xiaorou scrutinized Zhou Jinjie and suddenly noticed a hint of panic in his eyes, and even his smoking motion seemed a little unnatural.

has a problem!
Liang Xiaorou thought to herself.

His wife had died, and he should be sad, but there seemed to be no sadness in his eyes. Instead, he seemed panicked when he saw them.

murderer!

Or what?

"By the way, Mr. Zhou, your statement said that you had argued with your wife before?" Liang Xiaorou asked.

"To be honest, it's normal for couples to argue, but I regret what happened that day."

Zhou Jinjie took a drag of his cigarette and spoke slowly.

Regret?
Zhou Jinjie looked regretful, but as a woman, Liang Xiaorou's sixth sense told her that Zhou Jinjie didn't seem to regret anything at all, and instead seemed to be hiding something.

However, Liang Xiaorou didn't intend to expose her, but instead asked, "How is your relationship with your wife?"

"After being married for more than ten years, are we still like we were when we were dating?"

Seeing that Zhou Jinjie didn't want to continue, Liang Xiaorou asked, "Who does your wife have a grudge against? Have you ever suspected who did this?"

Zhou Jinjie paused in his smoking, looked at Liang Xiaorou, and said, "Madam, you're the one who should be asking me this."

"Don't worry! Our police will intensify the investigation," Liang Xiaorou said.

Afterwards, Li Fei and the other two asked Zhou Jinjie many more questions, which Zhou Jinjie answered.

But I always feel that when he answers questions, he always knows when to stop, just right, without going beyond the question itself.
