Chapter 160: Officer, This Bitch Killed My Son!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After conducting investigations on the deceased’s parents, friends, and relatives, the police finally narrowed down the list of three suspects. To be precise, it was four suspects.

“Su Xuan, it’s not that I’m criticizing you, but I feel like your theory is a bit far-fetched,” said Zhou Qiang after hearing Su Xuan’s words.

In fact, after their investigations, they had identified several individuals as potential suspects. While previously they might have considered this case an accident, now they were willing to explore the darkest possibilities, including the existence of other enemies of the deceased.

However, Su Xuan’s suggestion seemed a bit extreme.

Even if Chen Jianxun was indeed infatuated with Zheng Qin, you can’t just speculate that he might be one of the suspects in this case!” Zhou Qiang argued. “Compared to him, the other suspects we’ve listed seem more plausible. As for Chen Jianxun, it’s just an unrequited love story, and he’s already married now. Why would you consider him as one of the suspects?” Zhou Qiang’s question was genuinely perplexed. After all, the other three suspects they had identified had intense disputes with the deceased, either as relatives or friends. In the process of committing a crime, it was not unthinkable for them to act out of anger and target the deceased, such as using the deceased as leverage against those they truly despised.

“Chen Jianxun tried to propose to Zheng Qin five times, but each time he was rejected by the deceased,” Su Xuan calmly explained in response to his colleague’s inquiry. “Furthermore, he only got married five months ago. Even though he’s married now, just a month before his wedding, he was still harassing Zheng Qin. I have reason to suspect that he may still hold a grudge against the deceased. Getting married doesn’t automatically absolve him of suspicion; in fact, it could make him even more suspicious. I don’t have a good feeling about Chen Jianxun. I’m requesting an investigation.” During a discussion within the team, Su Xuan spoke confidently.

The others remained silent for a moment before someone agreed, “Okay!” Originally, Zhou Qiang wasn’t planning to agree to this.

But he considered Su Xuan’s strange luck and his investigative skills…

What if Su Xuan was right?

This case wasn t a major one, but it had an air of mystery surrounding it. While they could take their time with the investigation, the body couldn’t wait. Zhou Hao’s body was still in the morgue, and after leaving the police station, Zheng Qin had gone directly to the mortuary with Zhou Hao’s parents.

When they saw their son’s body, Zhou’s mother’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted!

Shortly after waking up, they decided to hold their son’s funeral.

Regardless of how he died…

A mother didn’t want to see her son’s body alone in the mortuary.

This was something the parents discussed, and even though the police hadn’t completed their investigation, they couldn’t oppose her request to arrange the funeral.

Su Xuan and his team had initially thought this way, even speeding up their investigation.

However, they didn’t anticipate that on the day before Zhou Hao’s cremation, Zhou’s mother would come forward and accuse her daughter-in-law of killing her son.

Two suspects had already been ruled out, and the officers investigating the remaining two were left perplexed.

Zhou’s mother cried bitterly.

Her booming voice, typical of someone from the countryside, nearly shook the ceiling of the entire police station!

“Officer! It’s this wretch who killed my son, and she admitted it with her own mouth!”

Her attitude toward Zheng Qin at this moment was a far cry from before.

The way she looked at her daughter-in-law was as if she were seeing a murderer, and she almost wished to kill her on the spot!

“She admitted it with her own mouth before, that she killed my son!” “It was her who sent my son to dinner without even taking his medicine…” It was intentional; she wanted to kill my son.”

“Officer! You need to arrest her quickly. If she hadn’t slipped up just now, I wouldn’t have known about this. This woman is definitely guilty!” “My son died so tragically!”

“Oh Heavens, why couldn’t you see this coming? My son was such a diligent and earnest person. You didn’t let him live a good life!”

“If you want to kill someone, kill me instead. I’m an old woman, and I’ve lived long enough…”

As she spoke, she slapped her thigh and sat down on the floor, wailing. Su Xuan and his team watched as Zhou’s mother, who suddenly rushed in claiming to have a lead, created quite a scene in the office. It was a tumultuous situation.

“Weren’t there already people with the deceased’s father?”

“Where are they?”

Su Xuan stood in front of Zhou’s mother, while Zhou Qiang cowered in a corner, watching Zhou’s mother throw a fit on the floor. He cautiously asked the nearby officers.

The officers lowered their voices, mirroring the same attitude as Zhou’s mother.

The couple has the same attitude as Zhou’s mother.”

“This married couple is acting strangely. Just the day before yesterday, they came here with Zheng Qin to handle Zhou Hao’s death certificate…”

“But today, they’ve come here to cause a commotion.”

And they insist that their future daughter-in-law is the one who killed their son…”

“Tsk…”

The officer shook his head as he spoke.

Zheng Qin, as Zhou Hao’s unmarried fiancee, could technically be indifferent to Zhou Hao’s affairs, and legally, she couldn’t be compelled to act. After all, they were not yet married.

If she truly decided to let go and not get involved, at most, people would call her cold-hearted, but legally, there wouldn’t be any consequences.

However, she chose to be actively engaged in Zhou Hao’s affairs and treated them as her own. It seemed she even had the intention of…

Being filial to Zhou’s parents.

At the very least, in this matter, she didn’t hesitate.

As police officers, they had encountered all kinds of strange cases, but they hadn’t expected this development.

Compared to others, Zheng Qin had handled the situation quite well.

So, given the circumstances, they were genuinely surprised by this turn of events!

“Mrs. Zhou, please, get up.”

Su Xuan had good hearing, and even though they were speaking quietly in a corner, he could still hear their conversation.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou refusing to move from the floor, he furrowed his brow slightly and spoke.

Is there something we can discuss when you’re not lying on the ground like this?”

“Remaining on the floor like this, we can’t have a proper conversation, can we?” Since they had arrived at work today, Mrs. Zhou had been speaking nonstop in their office all morning. Her words revolved around how Zheng Qin had killed their son, and she hoped the police would quickly arrest Zheng Qin.

Even though Su Xuan and his team had mentioned that Zheng Qin had already been investigated and that, according to the investigation, there was no connection between her and Zhou Hao, Mrs. Zhou refused to believe it.

“I won’t get up!”

Mrs. Zhou gritted her teeth.

She lifted her head, her eyes bloodshot, and stared fiercely at Su Xuan.

Officer, please don’t doubt me. I have evidence!”

Saying this, Mrs. Zhou raised her cellphone.

This is what that wicked woman confessed to me this morning!”

“She took my son out without his medication!”

“Knowing that my son had an illness and still doing this, it was deliberate!”

“She wanted to harm my son!”
