Chapter 159: Who Could The Murderer Be? Zheng Qin?

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation | Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Su Xuan finished his sentence, Zhou’s mother, who had been crying uncontrollably by her husband’s side, suddenly widened her eyes. It was as if she had a sudden realization, and her face was filled with anger.

-What do you mean, officer?” She demanded. “Are you suggesting that there might be another reason for my son’s death? I always told him to be careful to carry his medication with him at all times. How could he have died like this. Someone must have wanted to harm him! Officer, have you found out who that person is? Who wanted to harm my son? Officer, you must find the murderer and avenge my son!”

She grabbed Su Xuan’s hand, her emotions running high.

But Su Xuan had no time to deal with her right now because not only her but

also Zhou Jianguo and Zheng Qin were on the verge of losing it.

Especially Zheng Qin.

“Officer are you saying that Zhou Hao’s condition was triggered by using some medication, and that’s why it happened during our date, turning into this tragedy?” She questioned. “Are you implying that if this accident hadn’t occurred, Zhou Hao would still have died? Someone wanted to harm him!” Zheng Qin’s anger grew as she thought about it. She and Zhou Hao had fallen in love during their college days, and their relationship was deep. After five years of dating, they had recently accepted Zhou Hao’s proposal, and their love was at its peak. Zhou Hao’s death had hit her hard.

Moreover, Zhou Hao had passed away during their date, suddenly collapsing. These past few days, Zheng Qin had been haunted by nightmares. She would dream of Zhou Hao repeatedly asking her why they had gone out to eat that day, why they had planned a date, and why she hadn’t given him his medicine immediately.

Zheng Qin felt like she was losing her sanity. She, too, wondered why she had insisted on going out to eat that day.

If they hadn’t gone out to eat that day, would Zhou Hao still be alive?

Not to mention the fact that Zhou Hao didn’t have his medication with him that day. Zheng Qin only found out about this after Zhou Hao’s death.

Zheng Qin recalled that before they went out for their date, Zhou Hao had seemed like he wanted to go back and get something. However, because she was impatient, Zhou Hao hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn’t go back.

Now, thinking about it, it was highly likely that he had wanted to go back to get his medication. But because of her, Zhou Hao had ultimately not gone back to retrieve his medicine. In other words, she bore a significant responsibility for

Zhou Hao’s death.

Thinking about this, Zheng Qin’s expression turned grim.

Seeing Zheng Qin’s change in expression, Su Xuan’s eyes flickered. From her face, he could tell that she probably knew something. However, Zheng Qin had no guilt on her conscience, even though this system was a bit of a hassle. In matters like this, Su Xuan still had confidence in the system.

With that in mind, he requested the three of them to give statements and to provide more details about the events leading up to the death of the deceased. Naturally, the three of them agreed without hesitation. This matter was directly related to their son/fiance, and they needed to investigate it thoroughly.

“Old Su,” one of the officers said. “The statements from Zhou’s parents are consistent with what Zheng Qin mentioned earlier. In fact, these elderly parents who stay in their hometown all the time may know less about Zhou Hao than his girlfriend.”

Zhou Qiang, another officer, sighed after they finished recording the statements and returned to their office. He continued, “Zhou Hao indeed didn’t have any known enemies… This makes it a bit tricky.

Upon hearing this, Su Xuan’s expression also turned serious.

“Based on our investigation and the statements, it’s clear that the deceased didn’t have any disputes with anyone,” Su Xuan began. “But the results of the examination are accurate. When I asked you to test the deceased’s blood, I had a suspicion that perhaps he had consumed an excessive amount of drugs somewhere. However, I didn’t expect the deceased to have such a good temper, which made our investigation quite challenging.”

“Since this isn’t an accident, we need to expand our investigation beyond the deceased,” Su Xuan continued. “We can’t rule out the possibility that someone close to the deceased may have provoked others, leading to the deceased being targeted.”

As Su Xuan spoke, Zhou Qiang lifted his head, looking at him in disbelief. “Su Xuan, where do you come up with such clever arguments? Are you going too far?”

Su Xuan responded, “Well, what’s your alternative?

Zhou Qiang sighed. He couldn’t come up with one.

“Let’s go. We need to continue our investigation,” Su Xuan said. ‘Til handle Zhou Hao’s friends, and I’ll check his workplace.

Without giving Zhou Qiang a chance to resist, Su Xuan walked away. Zhou Qiang helplessly watched him go. If they couldn’t make progress in this case after three days, they might be in for a tough conversation with their superiors. On the other hand, Su Xuan headed straight to Zheng Qin’s workplace after leaving the police station. He was planning to start the investigation with Zheng Qin.

Back at the police station, when Su Xuan had mentioned his suspicions, Zheng Qin’s expression had seemed off. He wasn’t sure what it meant, but before he delved into that…

“System, before we proceed, I have to askyou something,” Su Xuan said. “You’re not going to pull the same trick on me as last time, are you? You won’t mark innocent people with sin values, right?

After all, whether it was Zheng din or the people in the store where the incident occurred, Su Xuan had used his own investigative methods along with the sin value indications within the acceptable range. However, after the incident where the deceased had been drugged, Su Xuan was concerned that the system might cause trouble again.

Having spoken his mind, the car fell into silence for a while. Even though the system hadn’t responded, Su Xuan wasn’t worried. He knew this was a psychological battle.

The more he talked, the more the system might think he cared deeply about it. But as long as he didn’t speak, the one who became anxious would be the system.

“Ding! Please respect this system,” came a mechanical voice. “For individuals with sin values, the system will naturally mark them. The Sin Radar is a creation of this system, and there is no fact of not marking individuals.”

The voice even carried a hint of irritation.

Su Xuan smirked. “Remember what you just said. If you ever deduct my points again without reason, I’ll file a complaint against you!”

As for how to file a complaint, Su Xuan didn’t know yet. But he didn’t mind investigating the system thoroughly after this ordeal was over.

[Host, the system doesn’t have that option.]

[Please focus on completing your tasks. Keep it up!]

Upon hearing this, the system remained silent for a few seconds and then released two mechanical sounds before disappearing without a trace. It was clear that it felt somewhat guilty.

Su Xuan didn’t concern himself with where the system had gone. He continued driving until he reached the place where Zheng Qin worked.

It was a foot massage parlor.

Zheng Qin worked there as a financial officer..
