Chapter 164: I’m Willing to Surrender, Take Me Back!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

As a seasoned police officer, Zhou Qiang had his own judgment.

The suspect he currently had in custody was someone they had spent a significant amount of time and effort to identify.

Su Xuan didn’t refuse.

He never believed that the suspect he had identified was necessarily the real murderer.

In a team collaboration, it was important to consider others’ opinions. In fact, the suspect listed by Zhou Qiang had the highest level of suspicion. Compared to the far-fetched TV drama-like scenario Su Xuan had mentioned, this person had the strongest motive.

“This person is called Chuanzi, he’s from the Sichuan region. He came to work at Zhou Hao’s company about eight years ago and usually did odd jobs and minor tasks at the workplace.”

“Last month, he and Zhou Hao went on a business trip together, and when they returned, Chuanzi didn’t look well. According to his colleagues, they had a conflict during the business trip.”

“And this conflict affected Chuanzi’s salary…”

Zhou Qiang’s words were immediately interrupted by Su Xuan, who sensed something was amiss.

“Wait, wait!”

“Didn’t our information state that Zhou Hao never got into conflicts with anyone before?”

Su Xuan spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qiang paused for a moment.

Zhou Qiang cast a complex look at Su Xuan and then handed over the documents.

“Zhou Hao just has a good temperament and doesn’t initiate conflicts with others…”

“But that doesn’t mean everyone likes him.”

This guy Chuanzi has proposed to his girlfriend, and he’s waiting for the bonus from this business trip to buy her the gold ornaments for the wedding…” “His family doesn’t approve of him marrying a girl from outside their region, and they expect them to resolve everything on their own…”

“Unexpectedly, during the business trip, Zhou Hao, due to his outstanding abilities, stole the limelight and got the lion’s share of the bonus. Chuanzi’s girlfriend is getting older and couldn’t wait any longer. She’s been causing trouble since the Lunar New Year and insisted that Chuanzi marry her.” “They had settled everything, but they were just a step away…”

“Speaking of the gold ornaments for the wedding, it’s not a small sum, right? Fifty thousand in total?”

This time, they didn’t get the money, and without it, they can’t come up with the gold ornaments for the wedding. His girlfriend thought their family was deliberately withholding it from her, so they broke up. Recently, Chuanzi has been giving Zhou Hao strange looks…”

Zhou Qiang spoke up.

As he continued, he sighed, “Many couples break up over issues like dowries and wedding expenses…”

“Why would he take it out on someone else? It’s ridiculous!”

He really couldn’t stand such behavior.

Could a relationship really end over something like dowry money? It wasn’t necessarily the case!

As Zhou Qiang spoke, he suddenly felt that he might have misunderstood Su Xuan’s intentions earlier.

He quickly added, “Su Xuan, don’t get me wrong, I didn’t mean it that way…” Su Xuan, of course, understood that Zhou Qiang might be thinking about him as someone who had experienced a breakup due to dowry issues.

But Su Xuan didn’t mind because the real person who had been dumped due to dowry issues was the original host, not him.

However, he was curious about the suspect Zhou Qiang had mentioned. After all, under these circumstances, with these reasons…

It could be seen as a severe grudge in the eyes of someone more paranoid. Zhou

Hao and Chuanzi might have some real animosity!

Although what was taken away was just a bonus, it was precisely because of this bonus that the other party couldn’t buy the gold ornaments for his fiancee, which led to their breakup.

Su Xuan:…

“No, isn’t this guy usually a very paranoid person?” Su Xuan spoke, pointed at the documents, stood up, and continued speaking.

His expression was very serious.

In fact, compared to his previous speculation, Zhou Qiang’s suspect seemed to have more means to commit the crime.

He bought stimulant drugs.

“How did he come up with this idea?”

“Even these drugs are covered by medical insurance?”

Su Xuan heard Zhou Qiang’s speechless tone and said, “He must have been really worried that we wouldn’t find out!”

With that, Zhou Qiang looked at Su Xuan.

“What do you think? I feel that compared to the person you suspected, my suspect seems more likely.”

“It’s been several days already. How about we split up tomorrow? Tomorrow, Zhou Hao will be cremated, and once we solve this case, Zhou Jianguo and the others are likely to come looking for us directly. It could be troublesome then…”

Zhou Qiang’s statement wasn’t hard to understand.

Zhou Jianguo and Zhao Laidi came to Xiangjiang City because of their son’s case. Now that their son is about to be cremated and they suspect it might be related to Zheng Qin, they fear that once the cremation is over, they’ll come looking for them to get Zheng Qin arrested.

That’s why their only option now is to confirm the identities of the two suspects.

As for the possibility of it being someone else…?

Don’t underestimate the police investigators!

They’ve spent so many days narrowing down the list of suspects…

They won’t let anyone slip through the cracks.

“Alright!”

“If that’s what you think, then we’ll go with your plan.”

Su Xuan trusted Zhou Qiang’s judgment, but he also had confidence in his own judgment.

So, they decided to investigate together!

That was exactly what Zhou Qiang had in mind.

Seeing that Su Xuan agreed, he nodded immediately.

“Let’s do it this way!”

“We don’t have much time…”

“At 8 o’clock tonight, let’s re-examine the clues!”

Su Xuan wasn’t sure how Zhou Qiang was planning to follow the leads, but he was ready to cut through the confusion like a hot knife through butter.

The police couldn’t conduct a paternity test without the consent of the individuals involved. So, Su Xuan decided to use the system first.

If he remembered correctly, there should be items in the system that could establish blood relations.

Su Xuan thought this was one of those times when relying on the system was a good idea.

He asked, “System, do you have any items that can confirm blood relations between the parents of the deceased and the suspects? I need to check their blood ties.”

As soon as Su Xuan’s voice fell, the arrangement of items in the system’s store changed, displaying a list of items that he needed.

Su Xuan scrolled down the list with an expressionless face.

Seriously?

The first item cost a whopping 100,000 points?

What a rip-off!

Was he supposed to look at this thing? Did he deserve it?

No way!

In the end, he bought a membership card that allowed five uses for 1,000 points, which came out to a little over 200 points per use.

Not too expensive, but he still felt the pain in his pocket.

However, it was worth it in terms of points earned.

Su Xuan contemplated as he looked at the items marked on the system.

It turned out that Chen Jianxun did indeed share a blood relation with Zhou Jianguo, with a 99-99% certainty, confirming their father-son relationship.

So, Su Xuan’s earlier speculation seemed highly plausible.

However…

Su Xuan squinted his eyes.

Could someone really kill a “brother” they had been close to for so many years over this matter?

Su Xuan decided to go and talk to Chen Jianxun.

Surprisingly, when Chen Jianxun saw him, he showed no signs of resistance.

Instead, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.

“You’ve come?”

“I’m willing to turn myself in. I did it.”

“Take me back.”

SuXuan:…

The way you say it makes me feel something is off!
