The Case of Love

Chapter 36 Two Men
Su Xiaohan comforted her: "Ms. Xia, we also hope that Feng Xiaoxue is okay. You should pack up and leave first."

Her good friend's life or death is uncertain, and her once warm home has become a crime scene. Su Xiaohan can understand Xia Chunhong's feelings at the moment.

Seeing Xia Chunhong packing her clothes, Zhou Yifeng asked Xu Jungang to take her to her friend's house. After the on-site investigation, they also left the scene and called Ma Nan who was in the monitoring room to return to the bureau together.

Next, they have to wait for the DNA comparison results and find a way to find Feng Xiaoxue’s mysterious boyfriend.

"Boss, as far as we can see now, if the bloodstains in the bathroom are all Feng Xiaoxue's, judging by the amount of bleeding, if she had not received timely medical treatment, there is a very high possibility that she would have been killed. Moreover, there are no signs of prying on the door lock, and no signs of fighting in the room. The crime should have been committed by an acquaintance." Li Zhisong analyzed.

Zhou Yifeng's eyes darkened and he agreed, "Yes, it's very likely that the crime was committed by an acquaintance."

"I asked the owner of the hot pot restaurant, and he said that when Feng Xiaoxue asked for leave that day, she looked in a very good mood. Can we assume that Feng Xiaoxue went home after get off work, dressed up carefully, and waited for her boyfriend to come to her at home? Then, among the men who entered the community after Feng Xiaoxue, one was her boyfriend." Zhu Xiaofeng looked at the two of them and said.

"Xiaofeng is right. Let's try to find this person first. If there are really no clues, we can screen the surveillance footage. Excluding the permanent residents of the community, the remaining person may be Feng Xiaoxue's boyfriend." Zhou Yifeng took a sip of tea to moisten his throat.

"Just like Xia Chunhong said, Feng Xiaoxue seems to have been dating this boyfriend for only a short time. She has never seen him come to their rental house, nor has she seen any photos of him. She doesn't know anything about him. The hot pot restaurant owner has never seen any man go to the store to look for Feng Xiaoxue. From this, it seems that Feng Xiaoxue and this man are most likely in a long-distance relationship, and they usually communicate by phone and WeChat. We can check Feng Xiaoxue's call records, and maybe we will find something." Su Xiaohan looked at Zhou Yifeng, asking for his opinion.

Zhou Yifeng nodded and asked Zhu Xiaofeng, "Xia Chunhong doesn't know Feng Xiaoxue's home phone number, does the hot pot restaurant owner know?"

"The boss knows and gave me the phone number. We didn't find any clues from her home. Her parents had no idea she had a boyfriend. They were just worried when they heard she was missing," Zhu Xiaofeng replied.

"In that case, let's check the WeChat chat records and mobile phone call records. Xiaohan, I'll leave this matter to you!" Zhou Yifeng looked at Su Xiaohan and gave her an encouraging look.

"Yes, Captain Zhou, I will ensure that the mission is completed!" Su Xiaohan smiled and saluted Zhou Yifeng mischievously.

Zhou Yifeng was amused by her. Su Xiaohan didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that there was a hint of pampering in his eyes.

In the following period of time, Zhou Yifeng assigned tasks to everyone in the police force. Everyone performed their duties and tried their best to find the missing Feng Xiaoxue as soon as possible.

After sending the kitchen knife for inspection, Sun Yidan made a new discovery: the notch on the knife was very special, and she thought it was most likely caused by cutting something hard like bone. Not only that, she also extracted tiny human tissues from the part between the wooden handle and the iron handle of the knife.

In the evening, Zhou Yifeng ordered takeout. The people who had been hungry all day reported their work progress to Zhou Yifeng while eating.

"Captain Zhou, judging from the WeChat chat records, Feng Xiaoxue chatted intimately with more than one man. In addition to a man named Liu Jiakai, there is also a man named Wang Xiaowu. However, one of the two is in W City, hundreds of kilometers away from Beijing, and the other is locally." Su Xiaohan has checked the WeChat chat records and call records between Feng Xiaoxue and these two people, and confirmed the identity information of the two people.

"Have they ever said they wanted to come and see Feng Xiaoxue?" Zhou Yifeng asked.

"No, according to the chat records, but it is not ruled out that they said it when they called. Yesterday at 12:10 and 12:18 noon, Feng Xiaoxue received calls from Wang Xiaowu and Liu Jiakai respectively." Su Xiaohan replied quickly.

"I didn't expect that Feng Xiaoxue is such a romantic and two-timing person!" Xu Jungang sighed, "Boss, do you think one of these two men knew that Feng Xiaoxue was unfaithful to him and wanted to kill her?" "Hey, this analysis makes sense! It is very likely that one of the two men was dating Feng Xiaoxue and was caught by the other one, and then took her..." Li Zhisong continued to speculate without waiting for Zhou Yifeng to respond.

"Feng Xiaoxue said that her boyfriend came to see her, so she asked for leave from her boss. I guess the person who came to see her should be Liu Jiakai in W City. Wang Xiaowu is in Beijing, so it should be easy for the two to meet, and Feng Xiaoxue probably won't ask for leave. If they want to meet, they can do so after get off work." After thinking for a moment, Su Xiaohan expressed her thoughts.

"Right! I guessed it was like this. Wang Xiaowu called at noon and said he was going to the hot pot restaurant to find Feng Xiaoxue. Feng Xiaoxue said she had something to do and went home. Wang Xiaowu wanted to give her a surprise, so he went to her house to find her. Then he ran into Feng Xiaoxue and Liu Jiakai together, and in anger, he killed them..."

"Impossible. Even if the scene you described is correct, it is impossible for one person to kill two people, and there are no signs of fighting in the rental house at all." Li Zhisong interrupted Ma Nan before he could finish his words.

"That's right." Ma Nan's excitement calmed down instantly.

"Stop guessing here! Xiaofeng and Jungang, go find Wang Xiaowu and Liu Jiakai according to the information provided by Xiaohan and bring them back! Ma Nan and Zhisong, go to the community and check the surveillance to see if these two people are among the people who entered the community after Feng Xiaoxue!" Zhou Yifeng acted decisively and quickly assigned them tasks.

Several people agreed to go out. Zhou Yifeng stopped them: "Eat up the food in the lunch box before leaving! I don't want my people to faint from hunger on the way to investigate a case!"

Su Xiaohan laughed secretly on the side. Li Zhisong was right. Zhou Yifeng was a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He looked stern on the outside, but he was very considerate of his subordinates in his heart.

"Boss, the takeout you ordered today is really delicious. Let's order this next time!" Li Zhisong took two big bites of the food and looked at Zhou Yifeng without fear.

Zhou Yifeng rolled his eyes at him with disdain, feeling both amused and helpless.

After dinner, Li Zhisong and his two groups split up, leaving Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan alone in the office.

"Come on, Xiaohan, come with me to the inspection room!" Zhou Yifeng took two boxes of food.

In order to speed up the progress, Sun Yidan was also working overtime. Zhou Yifeng wanted to bring her some food and ask when the comparison results would be out.

"Captain Zhou, are you sure Sister Sun wants to eat in the laboratory?" Su Xiaohan looked at the lunch box in his hand with a funny expression on her face.

Zhou Yifeng smiled mysteriously, "Come with me, you'll know when you get there!"

Out of curiosity, Su Xiaohan followed Zhou Yifeng out of the office.

At night, the office corridor was very quiet. Their footsteps echoed, and Su Xiaohan's heartbeat quickened.
