Reborn in 1995, Criminal Investigation Records

Zhou Yang slapped everyone, startling them: "That's right, it was so we could hear it!"

Zhong Honglan knew we would go, but she didn't know when we would go, so she could only keep repeating the same thing over and over!

"But how did she know you would get to Dongjiazhai?" Liu Chengyu asked with a smile as he lit a cigarette.

Zhou Yang had been thinking about this question, and in the end he realized that he seemed to have fallen into a self-proving trap.

"I was wondering before, if it was a conspiracy, why would Zhong Honglan tell us about Qiao Songnian and Dong Youli? And just now, I figured it out. It was the reason mentioned earlier, to lure us over there."

Let us see how Dong Youli tormented Qiao Songnian to death, and how he kidnapped her! And how he used himself as bait to give us a reason to kill Dong Youli!

"As long as you reveal this information to us, once she disappears, we'll search for her. Combined with the location her mother mentioned, it's only a matter of time before we discover she and Dong Youli are connected!"

As Zhou Yang recounted his story, the audience couldn't help but empathize, and it seemed to make some sense.

"It sounds very reasonable, and there are many coincidences!" Dai Yan adjusted his glasses and exclaimed.

In criminal investigations, one or two coincidences are normal, but if there are multiple coincidences, then it must be intentional.

It's important to understand that solving a case is much more difficult than committing a crime. If committing a crime involves tearing a piece of paper into pieces, then solving a case involves finding those pieces of paper, piecing them back together piece by piece, and finally getting the answer.

The expressions on everyone's faces were not very good. The case seemed to be clear at first, but after this debate, it seemed that Dong Youli was not the only murderer, and Zhong Honglan did not seem to be so innocent.

In an instant, everyone's attention was focused on Liu Chengyu.

"Why are you all staring at me? Do you think I don't know what you're thinking?" Liu Chengyu laughed and scolded, shoving his cigarette butt into the ashtray. "If you have any suspicions, investigate them. If you have any clues, follow them. It's our duty to solve the case thoroughly, and that's how we live up to this uniform we're wearing."

"But Liu Da, we're all wearing casual clothes," Wang Chao muttered.

"Get the hell out of here!" Liu Chengyu pretended to hit Wang Chao, which caused everyone in the room to burst into laughter.

After being comforted by Fang Duo, Zhong Honglan asked her questions and then sent her back. According to her earlier prediction, the message would be sent back again.

In addition, Qiao Songnian's son, Qiao Zhemao, was also included in the notification.

Liu Chengyu then turned and went to the second floor. Everyone knew he was going to report to the bureau chief. The bureau chief had just read through the written record with a smile and praised the work of the First Brigade.

Liu Chengyu took a deep breath, mentally prepared himself, and an exaggerated smile appeared on his face: "Director, great news, a major discovery..."

......

Zhong Honglan held the key but couldn't even turn it; with a click, the door opened with her right hand.

In the living room sat a man in his thirties: "Aunt Lan, you're quite late!"

Zhong Honglan ignored her, slowly putting down her bag, then kicking off her shoes: "When did you get here?"

"I just arrived a little while ago!" The man stood up, walked behind the other person, placed his hands on the other person's shoulders, and gently massaged them. "I'm not leaving tonight!"

Zhong Honglan slapped the other person's hand away: "Your father just passed away, and you're already staying overnight at this widow's house? That's not appropriate!"

Upon hearing this, the man, Qiao Zhemao, looked somewhat uneasy: "The old man is gone, so no one can block our way now!"

"I'll go pick up Xiaobao in a bit. If you dare to lie in your dad's bed alone, I have no objection!" Zhong Honglan looked at him, tilting her head as she spoke, but her words sent a chill down Qiao Zhemao's spine.

"Never mind, I was just saying. How was your day?" Although he had already guessed the answer from the other person, he couldn't help but want to know some details.

"I told you not to ask about this. The less you know, the less the police can get out of you. It's better for you and for me!" Zhong Honglan didn't even look at the other person. She went to the liquor cabinet, poured herself a couple of sips, and plopped down on the soft sofa barefoot.

A shadow of gloom crossed Qiao Zhemao's face, then he shook his head with a chuckle: "I know, I was just worried about you, afraid the police would suspect you and affect your plans!"

"If you're scared, hurry back, identify the body, cooperate with the investigation, and burn the body as quickly as possible, instead of hesitating here and doing nothing!" Zhong Honglan downed the wine in her glass, playing with the glass in her hand as she looked at the other person with a sneer.

"Zhong Honglan, don't go too far, and don't push your luck!" Hearing this, Qiao Zhemao couldn't hold back his anger any longer and pointed at Zhong Honglan's nose, yelling at her.

"Swear, swear louder, attract the neighbors and all, let them see how you, this son, killed your father and then took his stepmother, louder still!" Zhong Honglan stood up unhurriedly, put the glass on the wine cabinet, and then slowly went upstairs.

She was going to take a shower; she felt very uncomfortable all dirty today, but thankfully, it was all over.

......

Zhou Yang was somewhat bewildered when he saw Zhong Honglan and Qiao Zhemao arrive at the police station together.

"My colleagues said they were all together, so they notified them all at once!" Fang Duo seemed to know what he was thinking and walked up to him to explain.

Nodding, Zhou Yang watched the two figures. His father had just died, and the son was going to visit his stepmother. At first glance, there seemed to be nothing wrong with it.

The scent of his post-shower fragrance in the air lifted Zhou Yang's spirits.

However, it's rather impolite for a stepmother to go take a shower while her son, who is older than her, is in the room.

Qiao Zhemao's wife is an honest and hardworking accountant, about the same age as him. They have been married for more than ten years and have two daughters.

Zhou Yang felt it was necessary to call the other party over as well, since they were family, and Qiao Songnian was her father-in-law. In case Qiao Zhemao lost control of his emotions because of his father's death, at least there would be someone to dissuade him.

Yes, that's right.

Zhou Yang acted on his idea immediately, asking Dai Yan to contact Qiao Zhemao's wife's workplace, explain the situation, and arrange for her to come to the bureau as well.

Upon hearing that her father-in-law had passed away and that her husband and his stepmother were at the police station, the other party rushed over without saying a word.

"Want to come along?" Liu Chengyu asked as he passed Zhou Yang, holding the documents.

"No thanks, I'll just fill in the gaps!" Zhou Yang declined with a smile. As a trainee police officer, it wasn't appropriate for him to go in. Although Liu Chengyu could make an exception, it wouldn't be good in the long run.

Moreover, Zhou Yang also wanted to meet Qiao Zhemao's wife to see if he could get any clues from her.

Unexpectedly, before the person they were waiting for arrived, Sun Zhengdao hurriedly stepped into the police station.
