Eye of Sin

Chapter 701 Getting to the bottom of things
"So you will have to work non-stop tonight too." After hearing what Qi Tianhua said, Huo Yan knew that they would have company when they worked overtime at night.

Luo Wei stuffed a few mouthfuls of rice, and finally he was willing to speak: "It's been really tiring lately! Why do I feel that this case is not that big or complicated, but there are endless things like this!

When I think back, I feel like I haven't had any proper rest during this period of time, and cases, big and small, keep popping up one after another!

What we mean is that big mules and horses will definitely not be able to handle the work if they keep pulling carts. Even a gasoline-burning car might explode if it keeps running at full speed!
Even if we are made of iron and steel, we will not be able to bear it if we continue to suffer like this!"

"The recent crime rate is indeed higher than the same period last year." Ning Shuyi sighed, "Is it the same elsewhere? Or is this trend only seen in our W City?"

"I'll ask my classmate! He's in the neighboring city Y!" Luo Wei immediately took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to his classmate. "If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have remembered it. I should ask him. I always feel like something is not right."

"This workload is indeed unusual, but it's also very confusing," Qi Tianhua also felt confused. "After all, in the previous cases we handled, if we compare them horizontally, it seems that no matter whether it is the victim or the suspect, there is no connection between them. They are not the type who know each other or have some kind of relationship.

It feels like a coincidence.”

Ning Shuyi frowned slightly. She felt vaguely that the cases she had handled before seemed to have some vague similarities, but they were too vague and she couldn't grasp what these similarities were.

Because this feeling was too subjective and there was no objective evidence to support it, in order not to mislead her colleagues, she decided not to express her thoughts aloud.

After a while, when Luo Wei had finished most of his meal, his classmate replied to his message. Although they were also working overtime, the overall situation in Y City was not much different from the same period last year. There was no surge in workload like in W City.

Although this indirectly confirms the initial guesses of several people, it does not explain any substantive issues.

After complaining, everyone went to eat, and after eating their fill, they returned to their work.

In Zhu Qingqing's mediocre social circle, it was not difficult to find out the information of the opposite sex related to her. After working for half a night, I basically had a clear grasp of it.

From college to work, there are only five people of the opposite sex who Zhu Qingqing has dealt with the most. They are Jiang Jinyang, Zhu Qingqing's senior in the same major in college, Liu Yuanhang, a classmate and a boy from the physical education department, Cao Jin, her class monitor, and Jiao Cheng and Wan Daoqiang, two colleagues in the same department in the same company after graduation and now working in this company.

Among these five people, Liu Yuanhang and Wan Daosen were quickly eliminated.

After graduation, Liu Yuanhang stayed in W City for about a year, then returned to his hometown. He currently lives in another province a thousand kilometers away from W City, and there is no record of him buying tickets to W City, including the car under his name, which has never left the place where he currently lives. As for Wan Dasen, he is in the local area, but he is a married man. According to the forensic estimate of Zhu Qingqing's death time, he was in the hospital with his wife who was about to give birth. Even if he was not inseparable, at least he did not have enough time to commit the crime, so he was naturally cleared of suspicion.

This leaves three people left, all of whom work locally in W City. From the traces they left on the Internet, there is no way to infer whether they had the time to commit the crime, so further visits and investigations are needed.

The next morning, Zhao Dabao arrived at the company early and started his new day's work.

After a busy period, the harvest came soon.

Although Jiang Jinyang is Zhu Qingqing's senior, he started school earlier and is actually the same age as Zhu Qingqing. He is 24 years old this year and also works in another private enterprise in W City. However, he did not look for a job according to his major, but chose to work in the field of marketing across majors.

Compared with Zhu Qingqing's copywriting job, Jiang Jinyang obviously has more flexible working hours and work content, and his income is much higher than Zhu Qingqing's. However, the nature of his job determines that his daily whereabouts and schedule are unstable and difficult to control.

Jiang Jinyang met Zhu Qingqing through department activities during college, and then pursued her for half a year.

He could be said to be the most persistent one among Zhu Qingqing's suitors. Even after being rejected by Zhu Qingqing and getting frustrated, he did not waver at all. He racked his brains and tried several different modes of pursuit, but Zhu Qingqing could never accept his love, so he had to give up in the end.

After giving up pursuing Zhu Qingqing, Jiang Jinyang almost completely withdrew from Zhu Qingqing's life, and the two never had any dealings again. If it weren't for the fact that this time he considered that Zhu Qingqing's social circle was too narrow and expanded it to college days, this person probably wouldn't have had the chance to come into the police's sight.

Zhu Qingqing's college classmate and class monitor Cao Jin has a completely different style.

He did pursue Zhu Qingqing, but the form did not seem so open and aboveboard - he approached Zhu Qingqing with an ambiguous attitude, but did not make any confession, which confused people around them for a while, wondering whether they were friends, classmates, or lovers.

Later, Zhu Qingqing took the initiative to distance herself from the relationship. After that, Cao Jin quickly gave up his pursuit of Zhu Qingqing and quickly locked onto another girl. He soon won her over and they fell in love. They were sticky and affectionate with each other every day, and everyone in the class knew about it.

After graduation, there seemed to be no obvious signs that Cao Jin had any dealings with Zhu Qingqing. It was just that one of Zhu Qingqing's former roommates mentioned it to Zhao Dabao and the others, and Cao Jin did ask other classmates in a roundabout way, wanting to know whether Zhu Qingqing had been in a relationship with anyone after graduation.

As for Jiao Cheng, he never expressed his affection for Zhu Qingqing directly or indirectly from beginning to end. It was just that the female colleagues in the unit generally found that he seemed to like staring at Zhu Qingqing whenever he had nothing to do.

I am sorry for the delay as I am accompanying my child to class. I will update again in the evening!
