Chapter 8 The Breakthrough!
"A total score of 68 points!?"

Chen Changchun suddenly lost control and stared at Liu Jin in astonishment.

Liu Jin nodded.

"That's right, it's the overall score."

"His middle school entrance exam score was 523."

He scored 68 points in the first three months, but suddenly scored 523 points in the high school entrance exam three months later and was admitted to a top high school.

is it possible?

It might be possible for some people, but it's impossible for Chen Wei, who dropped out of high school after only one year and had a long history of bad behavior in junior high!

so.
"Boss, it seems this case is a revenge killing."

Liu Jin took a deep breath, and then a bitter expression appeared on his face.

Such a despicable person, if he were to die, would most likely be killed in a revenge killing; it was just unexpected that it wasn't murder.
Chen Changchun suppressed his shock.

Regardless of whether the case actually involved bloodshed as Xu Liang guessed.

Based solely on what Liu Jin discovered, a closer examination would give the police every reason to arrest Chen Jian and Zhu Hong!

Think of this.

Liu Jin also realized something. He frowned, his eyes were serious, and he subconsciously clenched his fist.

"Boss, should we arrest the family members first?"

Chen Changchun hesitated, then shook his head.

"No, we can arrest people anytime."

"But the case can't be delayed!"

He rejected the suggestion after only a moment's thought.

With the police watching, these two can't escape.

But there's no way around the case; every day it drags on is a waste of time. Once the critical 72 hours are over, the chances of solving the case become very slim.

It was already 4 p.m., and 16 hours had passed since the case was solved. The police only had 56 hours left.

If we keep dragging this out...
This is detrimental to the police.

"Then what are you investigating?"

Liu Jin asked again.

After a moment's thought, Chen Changchun jogged to his car, leaving behind only two sentences.

"Investigate the list of people Chen Wei bullied in junior high school, and also thoroughly investigate the enrollment issue to see if any places were taken by someone else. If so, investigate that person!"

talking.

Chen Changchun paused, then left with another sentence.

"Oh, by the way, could you contact Xu Liang for me? I'm waiting for him at the police station."

After saying that, the police car sped off towards the police station.

Hongfu District Criminal Investigation Brigade.

7 p.m.

The emergence of the "Snail Case" kept the entire police station constantly busy.

This time of day should be the end of the workday, but now you can vaguely see quite a few people.

Looking from the outside in, many offices had lights on and people were working overtime.

In a trance.

A figure walked from the courtyard into the hall.

In the hall, Wang Chao, who had been drowsy and bored, glanced at the man and suddenly became alert.

Wang Chao quickly stood up, forced a smile, and shrank his towering body to get closer to the other person.

The person who arrived was Xu Liang, so Chen Changchun sent him to meet him.

"To make a long story short, where is the office?"

Xu Liang glanced at his muscles and quickly dodged away, then stopped himself when he saw the man trying to get closer again.

"It's on your head, I'll take you there!"

After a few words, Wang Chao changed his mind and led the way with an embarrassed smile.

The Criminal Investigation Division has five floors.

Chen Changchun was on the fourth floor. Although there was no elevator, the two of them went up quite quickly.

Within minutes, they knocked on the office door.

“Tuk-tuk-tuk~”

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

As Chen Changchun's voice came, Wang Chao pressed the doorknob down.

"Crack!"

The door lock was broken, and the door handle had been crushed by Wang Chao. He looked at the broken door handle in his hand, then looked up and exchanged glances with Xu Liang.

"Come in."

Chen Changchun's voice rang out again.

Wang Chao's voice and brain:
"Master, this door is broken. It fell to the ground before I even touched the doorknob, and I can't open it."

next second.

"Crack!"

The office door was opened from the inside.

Chen Changchun, who was exposed, glanced at the handle in his hand and wanted to curse, but time was of the essence, so he only glared at Wang Chao and hurriedly pulled Xu Liang in.

"Attorney Xu, it's been a long time!"

Seeing the anxious expression on his face, Xu Liang made a guess in his mind and said as he entered the room:

"Is there a new lead at the police station?"

Moreover, they most likely found the clues based on their own inferences!

Xu Liang thought to himself.

Chen Changchun didn't hide anything, nodded, and immediately handed all the files Liu Jian had given him to Xu Liang.

"Attorney Xu is incredibly insightful!" "The information I found this afternoon indicates that this family has some issues."

"It's just that more in-depth information would take some time to compile into a report."

Chen Changchun said in a deep voice.

Before Xu Liang could speak, he took out the three hundred yuan he had withdrawn from the bank that afternoon from the drawer.

"There's no time to sign the contract, so consider this as a consultation fee for these two hours."

"The extra amount is considered night shift compensation."

night shift?

Wang Chao, who was hiding the doorknob behind his back, stared wide-eyed.

He has never received overtime pay!

Xu Liang accepted the money quickly and decisively, without any formalities.

Seeing that he accepted it, Chen Changchun couldn't help but ask:

"What do you want to say at this point?"

Xu Liang was both amused and exasperated. He hadn't even had a glass of water since he arrived, so he gently comforted him.

"No rush, let me check the information first."

Chen Changchun knew he was being impatient, so he suppressed his emotions and nodded.

Xu Liang watched very carefully.

The two sets of information are actually quite incomplete, and on the surface, they may not be of much help to the case.

but.
If you cut a deep section from the side, the result will be different!

After a long while, Xu Liang put down the documents in his hand.

Chen Changchun immediately blurted out the question.

"How about it?"

"Two questions."

"First, the deceased did have problems; it's highly likely that the killing was a revenge killing stemming from a conflict."

Xu Liang spoke up.

The police are also speculating about this, and have been investigating since the case was filed, but now the probability has increased.

But even if it's 100% a revenge killing, there's nothing we can do.

"The police currently have no breakthrough in their investigation."

Chen Changchun took a deep breath and said solemnly, "It's been too long, and the others are scattered and can't be contacted."

Xu Liang smiled.

"There is a breakthrough."

"There is?" Chen Changchun was taken aback. "Where!?"

"At this."

Xu Liang pointed to the second document, which concerned high school admission and school records.

The biggest punishment for Chen Wei when he went to school was to go home and reflect on his actions, but for Chen Wei, it was more of a reward than a punishment!

The file wasn't recorded, so it's highly likely that money was spent to bribe the school, and also to buy grades.

But if we look at it from another perspective...
"Chen Wei's parents doted on him, even spoiled him."

Xu Liang narrowed his eyes and directly pointed out the personalities of Chen Jian and his wife.

"Chen Wei never faces any punishment for his crimes; he simply walks away, and the other two always clean up the mess!"

"At the same time, Chen Jian and his accomplice were indeed embezzled!"

Chen Wei started school eight years ago, but the demolition only happened seven years ago!
There is a one-year difference between the time the other party spent money to clean up their mess and the time when they became rich overnight.

There must have been other money-making activities before this, otherwise there would be no way to have the money to buy points and clean up messes!
What can be seen in a spoiled personality?
For example, most people who make mistakes when they are young will have a certain characteristic.

That means keeping quiet and not telling your parents!

why?
Because they would be beaten and punished, they dared not speak up after making a mistake.

But Chen Wei is different. Every time something happens, his parents will take care of the aftermath. In other words, as long as something happens, he only needs to tell his parents and doesn't have to take any responsibility!

Moreover, he had previously stated that if the murderer committed a revenge killing, then the hatred must be immense!

It's highly likely to have blood on it!

If the conflict occurred seven years ago.
How can a boy handle something like this?
In addition, his parents' doting personality and tendency to clean up after him
"You mean, Chen Jian and his companion must know about Chen Wei's conflict?"

Chen Changchun was suddenly taken aback.

After being reminded by the other party, the initial surprise turned into a sudden realization.

indeed.

Spoiling someone is tantamount to Chen Wei becoming an accomplice!
An accomplice would naturally know any of the conflicts Chen Wei had committed!
"The police don't know how many conflicts there are, or which conflict offended the most people the most."

"But Chen Jian and his companion must know that they are responsible for cleaning up the mess, and whoever pays the highest price is most likely to kill Chen Wei!"

Xu Liang's mind worked quickly, and he found a breakthrough in an instant.

No matter how much the police think, they can't understand it as clearly as the people involved!

so.
"The clues lie with Chen Jian and his companion."

Chen Changchun asked instinctively, "How do we investigate?"

"Just ask!"

Xu Liang spoke decisively.

Ask directly?
Should we make them confess their own sins?
Chen Changchun looked bewildered; even a fool could tell that the other party was unlikely to compromise.

Seeing this, Xu Liang narrowed his eyes again and said slowly:

"but."

"We need to ask it in a different way."

Another way?

Wang Chao scratched his head with the broken doorknob.

How to change?
And
It could lead the murderer to commit the act of desecrating a corpse.
What exactly did the deceased's family do back then?!

"Come closer, I'll tell you."
