The Case of Love

Chapter 96 Medicine Bottle
Next, they divided the investigation. Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan went to Chen Hongjie's residence to see if there were any clues; Li Zhisong and Ma Nan went to investigate the source of Chen Hongjie's large sum of money; Zhu Xiaofeng and Xu Jungang went to interrogate Chen Hongjie's three friends.

In the drawer of Chen Hongjie's bedside table, Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan found the medicine he usually took and two bank cards. They took the medicine back to the bureau and gave it to Sun Yidan for testing.

After Sun Yidan's test, it was found that the medicine in the bottle was not a heart-treating drug. On the contrary, the ingredients in the drug stimulated the heart and could induce angina, arrhythmia, and even heart failure. This was undoubtedly a double whammy for Chen Hongjie, who already had heart disease.

Sun Yidan extracted fingerprints from the medicine bottle and is currently comparing them.

"Captain Zhou, it seems that my guess is correct. Someone wants to shut Chen Hongjie up and changed his medicine!" Su Xiaohan became more certain of his previous judgment.

"Think about it again, who is more likely to have access to Chen Hongjie's medicine and replace his medicine?" Zhou Yifeng guided.

"I guess it was the woman he brought home." Thinking back to what the community security guard said that day, Su Xiaohan quickly thought of the woman who came back with him. Chen Hongjie was drunk and unconscious, so it was easy for this woman to change the medicine.

"That's right, let's go to the KTV he often goes to." After saying that, Zhou Yifeng walked out.

At the KTV, they asked the owner of the KTV and learned that Chen Hongjie was a frequent visitor there and that he would take a girl named Xiaoyao out with him almost every time he came. As for where they went, the KTV owner could not say clearly.

Because it was daytime and Xiao Yao had not come to work yet, Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan went to her place according to the address provided by the KTV owner.

When she saw Xiao Yao, Su Xiaohan sighed in her heart that she really lived up to her name. When Su Xiaohan asked her questions, she was indifferent, but when Zhou Yifeng asked something, she answered seriously and flirted with him from time to time. This reminded Su Xiaohan of the fairies in myths who used to seduce men.

With Zhou Yifeng around, Su Xiaohan simply stopped asking and just listened to them talking. After asking, they learned that Xiao Yao's real name was Cui Na, and "Xiao Yao" was the name she used in the karaoke bar.

Although Cui Na cooperated with Zhou Yifeng, when he mentioned Chen Hongjie's medicine bottle, her expression changed and she said that she didn't know Chen Hongjie had a heart problem, let alone that he took medicine.

While they were talking, Sun Yidan called. She compared the fingerprints on Chen Hongjie's medicine bottle and confirmed that the bottle contained two people's fingerprints, in addition to Chen Hongjie's own fingerprints, there were other people's.

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yifeng stood up and said with a smile: "Come on, ma'am, come with us to the bureau. We have a way to prove whether what you said is true."

"Handsome policeman, please let me go. I'm on night shift and need to get a good sleep during the day!" Cui Na stepped forward, took Zhou Yifeng's arm, and begged in a long voice.

Zhou Yifeng pushed her away and said seriously, "Madam, we are investigating a case. We are not kidding you. Please cooperate!"

Su Xiaohan watched from the side and deeply felt Zhou Yifeng's helplessness. It was really a headache to meet such a woman.

Perhaps frightened by Zhou Yifeng's serious expression, Cui Na said reluctantly: "Okay, okay, handsome policeman, I'll go with you. But I have to work the night shift tonight, so you have to let me go then!"

Zhou Yifeng nodded slightly: "If this case has nothing to do with you, we will let you go soon. We will never delay your work."

"I..." Cui Na seemed to want to say something, but after thinking for a while, she stopped talking, picked up a coat from the hanger, and followed Zhou Yifeng and Su Xiaohan out.

At the police station, Sun Yidan compared Cui Na's fingerprints with the fingerprints on the medicine bottle and concluded that the other set of fingerprints on the medicine bottle belonged to Cui Na.

In the interrogation room, Zhou Yifeng looked at Cui Na and asked with a smile: "Didn't you say you didn't know Chen Hongjie had a heart disease and didn't know he was taking medicine? How come there are your fingerprints on the medicine bottle?" "Maybe I accidentally touched it when I opened the drawer. I don't remember it." Cui Na explained.

"We found this medicine bottle in a medicine box in the drawer. Are you sure you would be interested in something like a medicine box when you go to Chen Hongjie's house?" Zhou Yifeng asked back.

"I..." Trine was speechless, not knowing what to say.

"Cui Na, tell me, what did you do? Did you want to do this, or did someone instruct you to do it? Think carefully before you answer. You should know that the results will be different if you say it yourself and if we find out." Zhou Yifeng looked at Cui Na with a smile.

"I...I...I didn't do anything! I was just curious and opened it to take a look!" Trine looked very conflicted.

"Curious? What's there to be curious about? The name of the medicine is written on the bottle. Anyone with a little common sense knows that this is a medicine for treating heart disease. How could you not know?" Zhou Yifeng asked without giving her a chance to breathe.

"I..." Trine's voice became smaller and smaller as she became less confident.

Zhou Yifeng stared at her without saying anything.

Su Xiaohan stood up and walked to her side and said, "Cui Na, even if you don't understand the law, you should know what it means to be lenient to those who confess and severe to those who resist. Telling the truth will provide us with clues to solve the case, and it will also create an opportunity for you to receive a lighter punishment."

"Okay, I'll tell you!" Cui Na almost squeezed out these three words from between her teeth, "Someone came to me and gave me some money to ask me to replace Chen Hongjie's medicine."

Su Xiaohan sat back next to Zhou Yifeng. Just as she expected, someone had replaced Chen Hongjie's medicine.

"Who is this person?" Zhou Yifeng asked.

"It was a man, I didn't know him. I didn't know what he asked me to use to replace Chen Hongjie's medicine. I said I couldn't do something that would kill people, and he said what he asked me to replace was not poison," Cui Na recalled.

"Do you still remember what he looks like?" Zhou Yifeng asked again.

Trine nodded and said, "I remember. He had a very distinctive appearance, with long hair, dark skin, and was very strong. He also had a mole between his eyebrows. It was a very large mole."

Zhou Yifeng called Xiao Ji from the technical department and asked him to draw the man's appearance based on Cui Na's description.

After leaving the interrogation room, Su Xiaohan saw the missed call on her phone. It was from Xia Dongjun. Su Xiaohan was worried that Xia Mo was in trouble, so she called back quickly. Xia Dongjun told her that Xia Mo was feeling better and had told him a lot of things.

Su Xiaohan was particularly excited by the good news brought by Xia Dongjun. She told Xia Dongjun that she would go to see Xia Mo when she had time.

In the evening, Su Xiaohan took the simulated portrait provided by Xiao Ji and compared it with the system, and found that the portrait was very similar to a person named Du Peng. And this Du Peng was the founder of Beijing Pengda Clothing Company.

Su Xiaohan thought that Du Peng and Chen Hongjie, one was the owner of a clothing company and the other was an idle person in society. They seemed to have nothing to do with each other, but there must be someone or something that connected them together.
