When Zhao Yu came out from the interrogation room, the dispatch meeting hadn't ended yet. So, he went to the Key Case Investigation Unit to drink coffee and sort out his thoughts.
It seemed that the entire Apartment Murder Case was very clear. Feng Kuo's brother, Xiao Zhen, was the biggest suspect. The motive, process, and blood stains all matched. Now, there was only one more thing left. If they could overthrow his alibi, they could apply for an arrest warrant!
But, when it came to the confession, Zhao Yu couldn't avoid another person, Xiao Guofeng!
It was his testimony back then that had saved Xiao Zhen from the police's suspicion. But now, it seemed that Xiao Guofeng had most likely given false testimony. Although they had gone to Lingyun to deliver the goods, Xiao Zhen wasn't among them.
So, it could be seen that Xiao Guofeng knew something about his own son! If Zhao Yu could get the truth from him, maybe everything would be over!
But, Xiao Zhen was his son, after all, and it was related to his reputation, as well as Feng Lin's feelings. So, Zhao Yu was sure that Xiao Guofeng wouldn't spill the beans, even if he were to beat him to death!
But, it didn't matter, as there was another person in Xiao Guofeng's confession. That person was an employee of his wood factory. If Xiao Guofeng were to give him some benefits, he would naturally follow Xiao Guofeng's instructions.
If he were to use this person as a breakthrough point, wouldn't it be easier?
Just as Zhao Yu was pondering, Xiao Zhang and the police detectives from the Ruyang Key Case Investigation Unit had just finished their meeting and were walking in. Before he even arrived, he could already hear their complaints.
"Wang Shengyao is too much. Just because he is the head of the city's criminal investigation unit, he talks like that. He's too much!"
"Yeah," another one said. "It hasn't even been twenty-four hours since the case happened. Isn't it too early for him to say such things? Isn't he scolding us for being incompetent? "
"They're just making sarcastic remarks. We've tried our best to run errands, but they're just standing at the side. I don't understand. Why did the higher-ups send these b * stards here? Motherf * cker, when they talk, their noses are so high up in the sky. I want to beat them up just by looking at them! "
"Alright, alright, stop talking!" Captain Xiao Zhang stopped them. "As long as we can solve the case, it would be the best counterattack! It's useless to say anything else! "
Zhao Yu finally knew that Xiao Zhang's name was Zhang Zichun. Although he was called Xiao Zhang, he was actually of the same age as Zhao Yu.
"Eh? Officer Zhao? You're out? " When Zhang saw Zhao Yu, his eyes lit up. He pointed at the door and said, "Come, come, let's talk over here!"
Then, Jinmei quickly got up from her desk and led the way. Together with Xiao Zhang, they led Zhao Yu to another empty office.
"How is it, Zhao … um … Brother-in-law?" Xiao Zhang was quick-witted and his tone changed quickly.
"Mm … My problem is almost solved!" Zhao Yu took another sip of coffee and nodded.
"That … That's good … Then … About us …" Zhang was afraid that Zhao Yu would change his mind, so he spoke very carefully.
"Don't worry, I, Zhao Yu, am not a coward who goes back on his word," Zhao Yu said seriously. "I will tell you my method now, but … I need to remind you of something! What I gave you was a rotten idea. If you feel guilty, don't sell me out! "
"Don't worry, don't worry!" Xiao Zhang nodded.
"Sigh!" Zhao Yu sighed and said, "I looked at the information just now. The murderer, Le Chao's family situation … Tsk tsk … His eldest son is in college, while his second son has a rare type of retinoblastoma. This disease is almost a type of eye cancer. If it's serious, it could be fatal!"
"Mm …" Hearing Zhao Yu's words, Xiao Zhang's heart skipped a beat. He felt that something was wrong.
"I asked my colleagues, and they said that with this disease, they would have to go to a professional hospital to get their eyes changed every year. The annual cost would add up to at least a hundred thousand dollars!"
"Le Chao's wife was a laid-off worker. She worked in a tailor's shop to make a living. Le Chao was dismissed from the police force, and he had a terminal illness. This family … Sigh … "
"Because of this, they were targeted by the bad guys!" Jinmei suddenly interrupted and said, "So, the mastermind is the worst person. We have to find him! Regardless of whether it is Ai Lili or anyone else, we can't let them get away scot-free! "
"Zhao … Brother-in-law …" Xiao Zhang's forehead was covered in sweat as he said, "You … You wouldn't be thinking of using Le Chao's son, right? This … "
"Maybe …" Zhao Yu raised his eyebrows. "Maybe … Worse than that!"
"Don't. How could you do something that's against the law? We are the police! "Xiao Zhang was scared.
"Captain Zhang, no matter what, let's listen to Police Officer Zhao first!" Then, Su Jinmei, who was usually timid, became calmer and started persuading Xiao Zhang.
"Phew!" Zhao Yu let out a long breath and said, "Actually … It's like this! There are a few types of contract killings. Le Chao had no relationship with any of the people involved in the case. This type of contract killer is called off-hand goods. In other words, the hired killer and the victim had no entanglement. "
"Mm … About this, although I have never experienced it personally, I have heard of it. Regarding the hiring of off-hand goods, there are rules. However, Le Chao's situation was a little special, so the rules couldn't be fully applied! So, we had the opportunity to take advantage of it! "
Looking at Xiao Zhang and Jinmei looking at each other, their faces numb, Zhao Yu said,
"Alright, I will try to make it simpler!"
"Let's think about it from Le Chao's point of view. Look, Le Chao had a terminal illness, and his family was poor. Now, someone found him and wanted to give him a huge sum of money to help him kill someone!"
"In order to save the sick child and let his family live a better life, Le Chao agreed to them and decided to kill the Chen sisters according to their request."
"But, there's a problem. How is the commission going to be paid?"
"Commission? The commission for the murder? "Jinmei asked.
"Yes. Normally, they would pay a down payment first, then transfer the full amount after the deed is done!" Zhao Yu said. "I guess their agreement must be like this. Le Chao would kill someone, then get himself arrested on purpose. Then, he would testify against Ai Lili! Then, they would be able to complete the task perfectly! The other party would definitely pay the full amount, because Le Chao is still alive. Even if they didn't pay, he would change his statement! "
"Oh … But, Le Chao is already dead?" Jinmei creased her eyebrows.
"Yes! Because Le Chao died, I came up with such a stupid idea! "Zhao Yu said." I chased after Le Chao before, no matter if it was crossing the road or jumping off a cliff! I guess that Le Chao was prepared to die! "
"Don't forget that Le Chao used to be a policeman. As he wanted to do such a dangerous thing, and he knew that he might not be able to come back, then … Wouldn't he have left himself a way out?"
"I … I don't understand! He was already dead, so why would he leave himself a way out? "Jinmei was getting more and more confused.
"No way! If he were to die just like that, "Xiao Zhang explained." What if the other party breaks the contract and doesn't pay the full amount? "
"Yes!" Zhao Yu nodded and said. "So, Le Chao would definitely leave behind some important evidence. If, after his death, the other party wasn't willing to honor their promise, he would reveal the evidence to the public! "
"But … Le Chao was already dead. How would he announce it?" Jinmei was still puzzled. But, after she asked, she suddenly thought of something. "He … His wife?! Le Chao left his evidence to his wife in his will … But … Isn't it too late? If the other party were to pay the bill, the evidence would be gone, wouldn't it? "
"Not necessarily. After knowing that the Falling Off the Building Case might have been a contract murder, the police arrested Le Chao's wife immediately. Otherwise, how would they have found the two million in the account?" Xiao Zhang said. "In my opinion, Le Chao's death was an accident. It was so sudden, so the other party definitely wasn't prepared! Maybe, they would only pay the full amount after Ai Lili was convicted, right? "
"Oh … Yeah! I heard that Le Chao's wife was sent to Qinshan for investigation, "Su Jinmei said with her eyes wide open." But … How could Le Chao's wife tell the truth? She didn't commit any crime. If she were to grit her teeth and hold on, she could get a huge sum of money! If she couldn't, wouldn't Le Chao have died for nothing? "
