Eye of Sin

Chapter 664 Caught
Feng Hua's words instantly revealed the last suspicious point about Xu Chuanpeng's suspicion of committing the crime.

Ning Shuyi and Huo Yan quickly contacted Zhao Dabao, told him Xu Chuanpeng's cousin's personal information, and asked him to check it immediately.

As it turned out, the check really produced results immediately - Xu Chuanpeng's cousin's ID card was indeed used to register for accommodation the day before yesterday. He stayed in a small hotel, which was only a five or six minute walk from the place where Xu Li was attacked.

This is enough to explain many problems.

At this point, the case of Xu Li's attack has basically become clear, and only the subsequent procedures remain to be followed.

"Feng Hua, thank you for providing us with important clues. We will not delay your work time. If there is any follow-up situation, you can communicate with us at any time." Ning Shuyi took out his business card and handed it to Feng Hua.

Feng Hua hesitated for a moment, reached out to take it, looked at it, and put it in his pocket.

"If it's really Xu Chuanpeng..." She hesitated and asked carefully, "Then how long will he be sentenced to?"

"We have no way to answer you this right now." Ning Shuyi shook his head: "It depends on his motive for committing the crime and Xu Li's subsequent treatment. The court will make a comprehensive decision.

Are you worried that he will retaliate against you?

If you are afraid of this, then you can rest assured that we will not reveal the source of the clues to the suspect, and he should not have the opportunity to go back and threaten you. "

After hearing her words, Feng Hua shook her head and looked like she was about to cry.

"I just feel...I feel really sorry for him..." She stammered, "If I hadn't been unable to sort out my emotions and feelings at the time and hadn't messed up everything and run to Teacher Xu for help, I wouldn't have irritated him...

Now he got into trouble because of me, and I feel as if I harmed him..."

As she spoke, Feng Hua seemed to realize that what she said was a little wrong, and quickly added: "And Teacher Xu, I feel really sorry for him too!
He helped me wholeheartedly, not seeking fame or money, but in the end, he suffered so much because of me, and I feel so sorry for him..."

"Ms. Feng, the meetings of other people in your company should be almost over." Ning Shuyi checked the time and interrupted her. "Do you need me to go upstairs with you? If cooperating with our investigation has caused you any inconvenience, I can help you explain it to your leader."

Feng Hua waved her hands awkwardly: "That...that's not necessary, I can go back by myself."

She got off the car embarrassedly and returned to the office building alone. She looked back every few steps on the way back and walked very conflictedly.

Ning Shuyi watched her walk away through the car window, sighed, and shook his head gently: "I always heard people say that there must be something hateful about pitiful people, but I never quite understood this.

After meeting her, I have to admit that I have a clearer understanding of that sentence!

Although Xu Chuanpeng definitely had big problems and was the one who was most responsible for the whole incident, Feng Hua's indecision and vacillation, as well as his practice of passing messages between both sides, also indirectly contributed to the situation.

She not only got herself stuck in the quagmire, unable to extricate herself, but also dragged down the people who tried to help her and pull her out.

Qi Xiaoru said that Xu Li usually separated his life and work very clearly, and would not waste his energy on those who were stubborn and refused to listen to any advice, and would simply give up. As for Feng Hua, it was out of consideration for her safety and some sympathy that he made an exception and extended a helping hand to her.

As a result, I have ended up with this. I don’t know if I can get through the critical period smoothly...

If he can get through this crisis safely, I wonder if he will never be willing to make an exception for anyone again in the future!"

Huo Yan also sighed and shook his head helplessly.

The two of them quickly put aside their sighs and hurried to get on with their next work.

The proprietress of the hotel where Xu Chuanpeng's cousin checked in with his ID card provided all the surveillance records that could be captured by the only surveillance device at the hotel front desk.

Judging from the situation on that day, although everything was concealed, it was still clear from details such as height that the person checking in was not the cousin listed on the ID card information, but Xu Chuanpeng himself.

He checked into the hotel the night before, carrying a black travel bag. The clothes he wore were very similar in color and style to the blurry figure captured at the crime scene.

In the early morning of the next day, before it was fully light, Xu Chuanpeng appeared again, still wearing the same clothes he had when he checked in the day before. When he walked out of the hotel door, one could see something sticking out from behind his clothes, at the lower back. Judging from the shape and length, it seemed that the slender knife that served as the murder weapon was hidden under his clothes at his waist.

Around five o'clock, Xu Chuanpeng hurried back. It was still early and there was no one at the hotel front desk. Xu Chuanpeng rushed in quickly and disappeared at the end of the surveillance area.

It was almost noon, when the time came to renew the lease if the customer did not check out, that he appeared again. This time he had changed his clothes and looked much more relaxed and calm.

At this point, all the facts are clear.

The reason why no suspicious person matching the characteristics could be found in the nearby traffic surveillance and passing taxis and online-hailing vehicles on that day was entirely because Xu Chuanpeng had already chosen a spot and lived nearby. After avoiding the limelight for a few hours, he changed his clothes and left at a time when there were relatively more cars and pedestrians outside.

When he left, Xu Li was still unconscious in the dead end, and no one had discovered him.

After understanding these, Ning Shuyi and the others had nothing else to consider. They went straight to the house and caught Xu Chuanpeng playing games at home before Feng Hua got off work.

Faced with the police who came to arrest people, Xu Chuanpeng was stunned at first, and then realized that his crime had been exposed.

At first he looked timid and hesitant, as if he had been frightened by the scene of the police coming to his house. Then when Zhao Dabao walked up to him and was about to put on gloves, he suddenly jumped up, grabbed a fruit knife from somewhere, and swung it at Zhao Dabao's head.

Zhao Dabao was startled and subconsciously dodged. Xu Chuanpeng seized the opportunity, broke through his obstruction and rushed towards the door.

However, he only took two or three more steps in his hasty escape when Huo Yan quickly grabbed his arm from the side, used the force to throw him over his shoulder to the ground.

Before Xu Chuanpeng could even make a sound, his hands were handcuffed behind his back, he was pressed to the ground and coldly handcuffed.

Xiao Mo will go out for a meeting tomorrow morning. I don't know what time I will be back at noon. I will update on time, but it will definitely be two updates. Okay~
