The Case of Love

Chapter 106 That Man's Madness

"Captain Zhou, this matter is getting more and more strange. Zhou Haonan is just a student. Logically, he shouldn't be related to this matter." Su Xiaohan was puzzled.

"Maybe Zhou Haonan has nothing to do with this matter, but someone is related to Zhou Haonan, so, isn't it related?" Zhou Yifeng looked down at Su Xiaohan and smiled.

"Captain Zhou, what you said is too difficult to understand! But I understand what you mean. You mean that Zhou Haonan is also helping others." Su Xiaohan understood immediately.

"The shareholder of Pengda Company is Zhou Bicheng's cousin, named Zhou Bishan. The person who instructed Zhao Liyang to post the message is called Zhou Haonan. Both of them have the surname Zhou." Zhou Yifeng said playfully.

"Maybe this Zhou Haonan is also related to Zhou Bicheng." Su Xiaohan said casually.

"Haha, this is really possible! Zhisong is in the team now, let him investigate Zhou Haonan carefully. Let's go to Beijing University of Technology to meet him first." Zhou Yifeng smiled and walked towards the parking lot.

Su Xiaohan followed Zhou Yifeng and called Li Zhisong as they walked.

When Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan arrived at Beijing University of Technology, Zhou Haonan was attending a class. They waited at the door for a while until the bell rang before going to find him.

In response to Zhou Yifeng's questions, Zhou Haonan first played innocent and said he had no knowledge of the matter. It was not until Zhou Yifeng produced evidence that he admitted that he had asked Zhao Liyang to post the message. However, when it came to the reason for posting the message, he began to hesitate and evade the question.

"Zhou Haonan, I advise you to tell the truth. Before we came to you, you didn't know our Captain Zhou, and it was even more impossible for you to have any grudges against our Captain Zhou. You have no reason to post to slander him. Who asked you to do this?" Su Xiaohan was too lazy to listen to his nagging and said sternly.

"I..." Zhou Haonan was speechless.

"Zhou Haonan, you are a college student, I think you should understand the law. Even if you don't tell us, we can find it out. But the results will be different if you tell us and if we find out. You don't want to delay your studies because of this, right?" Su Xiaohan softened her tone.

"My brother asked me to find someone to post, but he asked me to find a hacker. I didn't think there was any problem, so I put on a mask and sunglasses and went to the Internet cafe to find someone." After hesitating for a while, Zhou Haonan finally said it.

"Who is your brother?" Zhou Yifeng asked.

"My brother's name is Zhou Bishan." Zhou Haonan replied.

Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan looked at each other. This answer seemed expected and did not surprise them.

"Is Zhou Bishan your biological brother?" Zhou Yifeng asked again.

"He is my half brother." Zhou Haonan said.

"I'll give you a chance to make amends. Take us to see your brother." Zhou Yifeng said.

"Police brother, I can't take you there. If I take you there, my brother will know that I betrayed him. He will beat me to death!" Zhou Haonan said timidly.

"It's okay if you don't take us with you. Then you can come back to the police station with us. Your brother is guilty of defamation and you are an accomplice. You will be locked up in the detention center for a few days!" Su Xiaohan said with a smile.

Hearing the word "detention center", Zhou Haonan became even more nervous and quickly changed his words: "Okay, I'll take you there, but you have to let me go when we get there, and don't say that I took you there. If you agree, I'll take you there right now!" Seeing his look, Su Xiaohan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. It seemed that this child was really afraid of her brother.

"Okay, we promise you that we will never say that we found your brother through you." Zhou Yifeng promised.

Seeing that Zhou Yifeng looked sincere and didn't seem like a man who would go back on his word, Zhou Haonan followed them into the car.

Following Zhou Haonan's instructions, Zhou Yifeng drove to Zhou Bishan's real estate company. Zhou Haonan said that he was usually either at the real estate company or at his cousin Zhou Bicheng's clothing company. They were often together.

Zhou Yifeng opened the car window a crack, locked the door, and asked Zhou Haonan to wait for them in the car. He and Su Xiaohan walked towards the company's office building.

At the door, they were intercepted by the front desk staff. They said they wanted to find Zhou Bishan, but the staff said he was not there and was on a business trip. They had no choice but to leave.

"Captain Zhou, do you think he is really on a business trip?" Su Xiaohan asked after leaving the office building.

"I'm afraid he's not really on a business trip, he's really hiding from us!" Zhou Yifeng said disdainfully. He felt Zhou Bishan's tricks were not very clever, and were even clumsy.

Back in the car, Zhou Yifeng asked Zhou Haonan to call Zhou Bishan and ask where he was. Zhou Haonan called several times, but the voice from the other end of the phone was "The number you dialed is busy."

Zhou Yifeng teased him, “Boy, I think your brother has blocked you and doesn’t want to talk to you!”

Zhou Haonan said dissatisfiedly: "My brother is probably very busy, he won't block me!"

Zhou Yifeng said nothing more and started the car. On the way, he received a call from Zhu Xiaofeng. Zhu Xiaofeng said that he and Xu Jungang went to Du Peng's house to find his wife Song Anna an hour ago, and no one answered the door after ringing the doorbell many times. According to the neighbor, he saw Song Anna open the door to receive the express delivery that morning. In desperation, Zhu Xiaofeng pried open the door. In the bedroom, they found Song Anna, who had no vital signs, and there were traces of continuous blows on the back of her head by heavy objects. Sun Yidan and the trace inspection personnel were on their way to Du Peng's house.

Zhou Yifeng thought to himself that so many things had happened in just two days since they received the photo of Old Z sent by Li Bo from the Zhengcheng Anti-Drug Squad. It was obvious that the man was no longer calm and was even a little crazy.

At this time, whoever can keep calm will have the upper hand. The crazier the person is, the more information he will reveal, which will provide them with more clues to solve the case.

After returning to the team, Zhou Yifeng placed Zhou Haonan in the conference room, asked Li Zhisong to look after him, and ordered lunch for him.

He and Su Xiaohan rushed to Du Peng's house and met up with Zhu Xiaofeng. When they arrived, Sun Yidan and the trace examiners had already arrived. After preliminary examination, Song Anna died of a comminuted fracture of the skull and brain, and the time of death was no more than an hour. There were signs of fighting at the scene, and there were signs of rummaging in the cabinets and drawers. However, there were no tools or footprints left at the scene.

They retrieved the surveillance video of the community and became suspicious of the man dressed as a courier who entered the community. From the surveillance video, it can be seen that this man only entered the building where Du Peng's home was, came out more than half an hour later, and left the community directly.

The residential area where Du Peng lives is very large, with more than a dozen buildings. If he is a real courier, he would not go to only this one building. So they thought that this man was probably the murderer, and the identity of the courier was his disguise.

"Captain Zhou, Song Anna's neighbor just said that he saw her open the door to receive a package. So, the courier may have taken the opportunity to follow her into the house and kill her. But he wrapped himself up too tightly, and we can't see what he looks like at all." Thinking of what Song Anna's neighbor said, Su Xiaohan speculated.
