Chapter 846 - 844: For the Departed Her 14

Lu Miao said he was preparing lessons at the time, just responded with one sentence, and didn’t realize something happened later. If he had known, he should have followed to check it out.

The case is clear, but Zhao Kehan didn’t feel relieved.

This result is not good. It came at the cost of five lives, too heavy a price.

Sun Ling looked more nervous than usual.

The police let her listen to the recording of Tan Ying’s voice, which came from Tan Ying’s previous tape recorder. The sound was restored by their technicians, just like the one that night.

She was listening, recalling if it was the same sound as that night: "It seems like this sound, it’s somewhat different from usual," she then widened her eyes, "Was I arguing with a tape recorder that night? Oh my god, Su Chen’s mom is really a murderous maniac?"

Zhao Kehan suddenly walked in: "Tan Ying and Su Youcheng have already confessed."

Sun Ling was so scared she got goosebumps. There was nothing more for her here, she should have left, but Xu Zhao was also called for questioning, so she had to wait for Xu Zhao.

Zhao Kehan appeared in front of Xu Zhao, waiting for him to explain things related to Su Chen.

"Actually, I vaguely felt Su Chen and their behavior was a bit odd, but I didn’t want trouble, so I didn’t look into it, usually just pretended not to notice. Liang Cheng comes from a good family, a rich second generation, our project started thanks to him, and Zhou Jiayang is the principal’s nephew, neither of them is easy to deal with. Jiang Yizhou was Su Chen’s boyfriend; if he didn’t care, what could an outsider like me do? Meddling means trouble, indeed, I can’t be considered a kind-hearted person, just want to quietly study and make some money, don’t want to get involved with other things."

"In today’s society, people who do good deeds and meddle, how many can have a good outcome?"

"But in private, I really didn’t know they were into these things. Thinking about Su Chen, it’s quite tragic."

"Before Zhou Jiayang died, he told me that once when you guys were discussing cooperation with Mu Shiming, Su Chen got drunk and was humiliated, and everyone in your dorm kept silent. Later she went behind your backs to meet people with status and background, intending to use them against Mu Shiming." Zhao Kehan spoke while staring closely at Xu Zhao’s eyes.

Xu Zhao froze, then quickly shook his head to deny: "He said that? It’s not true at all! He’s talking nonsense. As for when they and Su Chen maintained that kind of relationship, I really don’t know."

When Zhao Kehan knew that Mu Shiming died, he realized Zhou Jiayang was probably lying. Now hearing this answer was no surprise.

Of course, he didn’t find Xu Zhao’s words trustworthy either.

"But later on, Su Chen and Mu Shiming did occasionally meet," Xu Zhao said, "After all, they cooperated, so they knew a bit. If I said I knew nothing, Officer Zhao probably wouldn’t believe it."

Zhao Kehan looked deeply at him, but he was long used to these people lying through their teeth, so he didn’t say much.

Most related people were dead, so whatever Xu Zhao said was up to him.

Many things had no evidence, and for now, this was the best they could do.

"Although you are not in the photos, besides those photos, there should be another role," Zhao Kehan looked meaningfully at Xu Zhao, uttering two words, "Photographer."

Xu Zhao quickly shook his head: "Officer Zhao, I knew they were acting strange, but really don’t know the specifics."

Zhao Kehan didn’t ask further, without evidence, Xu Zhao wouldn’t admit to anything, so he let him go.

"Captain Zhao, hasn’t the case been solved? Why do you still look so troubled?" Jian Qi asked.

This chain of falling incidents had a huge impact; now that they caught the killer, everyone couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, the pressure had kept them from sleeping well for a long time.

But seeing Zhao Kehan still furrowing his brows and not showing any happiness, she couldn’t help but ask.

"Is it because this matter is so lamentable?"

"Or does Captain Zhao want to understand the truth about what happened to Su Chen?" she asked, fearing it would be difficult since there was no evidence to indicate Xu Zhao did anything, and they couldn’t force Xu Zhao.

Based on their investigation experience, they didn’t believe Xu Zhao knew nothing.

Zhao Kehan shook his head: "It went too smoothly, feels not right, always feels like something is missing, maybe it’s a misconception."

He extinguished his cigarette and stood up: "I’ll go check those pieces of evidence again, perhaps I’ll find something new."

For some reason, he didn’t feel at ease in his heart.

Jian Qi didn’t stop him, clearly understanding Zhao Kehan’s character, she just shook her head in place.

Outside the police station, Sun Ling saw Xu Zhao come out, breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly greeted him: "Xu Zhao, are you okay?"

"I’m fine, Officer Zhao was very polite, just asked some questions," Xu Zhao sighed lightly, "Suddenly everything feels like a dream. If I had sensed their odd behavior earlier, paid more attention, taken it to heart, wouldn’t it prevent today’s result?"

"I don’t know either." Sun Ling gently shook her head, "But we as ordinary people really can’t interfere in such matters, might even offend people, and you’ll find it tough to move forward."

"We ordinary folks don’t have that capability, shouldn’t meddle or we might get caught up in it. Isn’t this sort of thing seen often in society? Xu Zhao, you can’t blame yourself for this, you have no obligation to do those things, don’t be hard on yourself."

Xu Zhao took a deep breath: "I know, been scared recently? Let’s prepare well and study abroad, really don’t want to come back or think about it anytime soon. Some things when unveiled reveal a side too unfamiliar, hard to believe."

The school resumed classes.

Tan Ying and Su Youcheng were arrested, rumors that they were the killers of several cases also spread around school.

Some were shocked, others lamented.

Now besides that, curiosity surrounded what exactly the people of dormitory 4508 did to Su Chen, the discussion was livelier than before.

Xu Zhao was preparing matters to study abroad and didn’t return to school; some things were handled by others, yet still, news-seekers asked Xu Zhao about what exactly their dorm did to Su Chen.

As Xu Zhao’s girlfriend, of course, Sun Ling wasn’t spared.

Sun Ling was naturally strong-willed. About to go abroad, she didn’t mind the school gossip, eventually, she didn’t return to school.

"Captain Zhao, you’ve been staring at those ropes for a long time, any discoveries?" Jian Qi was puzzled, seeing how even at this stage, they hadn’t given up; was there something missing?

Though she also sympathized with Su Chen’s situation, and pitied Su Chen’s parents, they did commit crimes.

Zhao Kehan suddenly took a ruler and measured the lengths of several sections of hemp rope.

He stood up, Jian Qi followed him out, eagerly asked: "Captain Zhao, did you find something new?"

Zhao Kehan turned around, seeing Jian Qi full of expectation, said: "We still need to buy a new bundle of hemp rope to know, I suspect... these ropes weren’t used. Perhaps intended to be used, but never actually got the chance."

Not used?

Jian Qi widened her eyes, meaning Su Chen’s parents might not be the killers? Then who could it be?

She quickly caught up with Zhao Kehan.
