The Case of Love

Chapter 43 Footprints
"In the surveillance video of Feng Xiaoxue's residential complex, we saw a man whose back looked very similar to your brother. He was dragging a large suitcase in his hand. According to witnesses, he got into a silver van. According to the testimony of eyewitnesses at the scene and the time of the incident, we suspect that the box contained Feng Xiaoxue's body. And that van was the vehicle used to transport your brother's body!" Zhou Yifeng became more and more anxious as he got closer to the truth.

Before Zhou Yifeng finished speaking, Wang Xiaowen's eyes widened and he leaned forward excitedly: "What you said is not true! My brother would not kill anyone. He is very kind and treats his family and friends very well! How could he kill someone?"

"Don't worry, we won't wrongly accuse a good person, nor will we let any bad person go! We will soon know whether your brother has killed someone!" Su Xiaohan looked at him, feeling a little reluctant.

Zhou Yifeng went out and called Li Zhisong, asking him and Ma Nan to check Wang Xiaowen's car parked in the community yard, and then asked Zhu Xiaofeng to take Wang Xiaowen away and bring Xiaoxia in.

Like Wang Xiaowen, Xiaoxia also said that the laptop was given to her by Wang Xiaowu. Because she often worked overtime, she wanted to buy a laptop these days. When Wang Xiaowu found out, he gave her an old computer, saying it was one he didn't use. When she turned on the computer, she saw the QQ number automatically logged in. She thought it was Wang Xiaowu's QQ, so she quickly logged out.

When Zhou Yifeng asked about other things, Xiaoxia couldn't explain clearly. Like Wang Xiaowen, she also had a good opinion of Wang Xiaowu and didn't believe that Wang Xiaowu would kill anyone.

After Xiaoxia left, Zhu Xiaofeng brought Wang Xiaowu in. Sitting opposite Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan again, Wang Xiaowu no longer had the hostility and impatience he had before.

"Tell me, Wang Xiaowu, around 14:40 p.m. the day before yesterday, did you go to Feng Xiaoxue's house?" Zhou Yifeng asked.

"I did go, but I just went to see her and left soon after," Wang Xiaowu defended.

"Before, you said you were going to see Feng Xiaoxue and give her something. You met downstairs and then you left. Later, we found traces of you climbing over the wall, and you said you went back to find the key. So, I want to know, what did you go back to find?" Zhou Yifeng looked at Wang Xiaowu and said jokingly.

"I originally wanted to leave, but we haven't seen each other for several days. I really missed her and wanted to go back to see her again." Wang Xiaowu thought for a while and said hesitantly.

"I want to know, that afternoon, besides Feng Xiaoxue, did you see anyone else? For example, did you see another man with Feng Xiaoxue?" Su Xiaohan continued to ask.

She made a guess in her mind. The day before yesterday afternoon, Feng Xiaoxue and Liu Jiakai were dating. She didn't expect Wang Xiaowu to come to her suddenly. In a hurry, she said she had something to do and only met Wang Xiaowu downstairs before going back. Wang Xiaowu caught the panic and unnaturalness on her face, became suspicious of her, quietly went upstairs, and then found Liu Jiakai.

In a rage, he did not leave the community, but found a place to wait. After Liu Jiakai left, he went to Feng Xiaoxue's house and asked her why she betrayed him and why she was playing two women at the same time. The two had an argument. Wang Xiaowu may have killed Feng Xiaoxue intentionally or accidentally. After that, he put Feng Xiaoxue in a suitcase, put on her clothes, and drove away from the community.

Of course, this is just her speculation and she still needs to verify it.

Hearing her question, the expression on Wang Xiaowu's face changed subtly, as if a hint of hatred emerged, but it was quickly replaced by a smile he deliberately displayed.

"Comrade police, you are so funny. Xiao Xue is my girlfriend. How can she be with other men?"

"Oh, you really didn't see it?" Su Xiaohan didn't believe it.

"I really didn't see it." Wang Xiaowu replied.

"Okay, even if you didn't see it! What did you do with Feng Xiaoxue after you entered the room? Why did you take her laptop?" Su Xiaohan knew that he was not telling the truth, and since she couldn't pry him open, she asked other questions first. "You should know what a boyfriend and girlfriend can do after not seeing each other for a long time, right, police comrade?" Wang Xiaowu asked back with a smile.

Su Xiaohan cursed in her heart, "Shameless", and continued to ask with a sneer: "Why did you take the computer?"

"I asked her if she had used the computer recently, and if not, I would give it to my sister-in-law. Then she gave it to me." Wang Xiaowu seemed to have thought of the excuse long ago.

At this time, Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan both had to sigh that Wang Xiaowu had a good psychological quality. After a while, he had returned to his previous state, very calm, and his tone of voice was very firm.

While Su Xiaohan was questioning, Li Zhisong and Ma Nan had already arrived at Wang Xiaowu's neighborhood and found the silver van. Li Zhisong was carefully checking the van, and Ma Nan had contacted the traffic police team to ask them to cooperate in checking the driving record of the car with license plate number Beijing E××××.

Li Zhisong found that the interior of the car was cleaned very well, and the car seat cushions looked like new. Especially the trunk, which was almost spotless, just like a new car. However, after Li Zhisong sprayed the luminol reagent, a little blood stain appeared in the trunk.

At about the same time, Xiao Sun from the traffic police team called and said that the day before yesterday afternoon, the car drove to Community B, stayed near the community for more than three hours, drove to an abandoned factory in the suburbs of Beijing, and then returned to Community P.

Ma Nan smiled. Community B was where Feng Xiaoxue lived, and Community P was where Wang Xiaowu lived. Next, they needed to go to the abandoned factory.

"Let's go back to the bureau and pick up Forensic Doctor Sun to go with us. Feng Xiaoxue's body is probably there!" Li Zhisong suggested.

Ma Nan agreed, and they got in the car and headed straight for the Beijing Public Security Bureau.

On the way, Ma Nan called Zhou Yifeng to report to him what to do next. Zhou Yifeng glanced at Wang Xiaowu across from him and said with a smile: "Send me the location of the factory and go there first! We'll take Sister Sun with us!"

After saying that, Zhou Yifeng hung up the phone. When he looked at Wang Xiaowu again, he found that his face had completely changed, as if he had suffered a serious blow and his spirit collapsed instantly.

"Wang Xiaowu, go and have a rest first, and think carefully about whether you have anything to say to us. Let's go to the abandoned factory on the outskirts of Beijing first." After saying that, he left without looking back.

Su Xiaohan walked up to him, stopped, and reminded him: "Wang Xiaowu, you should know that there are some things that are different if you tell us yourself and if we find out."

Facing Su Xiaohan, Wang Xiaowu's lips twitched slightly, but in the end he withdrew his gaze and said nothing.

Zhou Yifeng took Su Xiaohan and Xu Jungang, called forensic doctor Sun Yidan, and went to the abandoned factory to meet them according to the location sent by Li Zhisong.

When they arrived, Li Zhisong and Ma Nan had just arrived for a while when they found a series of obvious footprints. Because no one came to the abandoned factory, the footprints were well preserved, extending all the way to the backyard of the factory and stopping abruptly.
