CHAPTER 309: CHAPTER 196: IS THIS THE MOTIVE?

Just as the words fell, Mr. He’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID; it was Li Tao.

"Hello."

"How’s it going?"

"Report to Mr. He, we just arrived at Nanbin Lijing and found that woman Liang Hong."

"However, after taking a look, I ruled out her suspicion."

"What do you mean?"

"Liang Hong is nine months pregnant and about to give birth!"

"For such a pregnant woman, I personally believe she didn’t have the capability to commit the crime two months ago."

"It’s hard to imagine how such a woman could commit murder."

"Moreover, Liang Hong’s stature is very small; carrying a body up the stairs seems unlikely."

After hearing this, Mr. He nodded lightly.

"What you say makes a lot of sense!"

"Have her identity confirmed?"

Li Tao replied, "Confirmed! It is indeed her!"

After thinking for a moment, Mr. He said, "If it’s really Liang Hong, then we can basically rule out her suspicion."

Just as the words fell, Li Tao suddenly asked, "Mr. He, how’s it going on your side?"

Mr. He paused for a moment.

He said angrily, "Don’t mention it! That woman ran away!"

"Ran away?"

"We had just arrived at the entrance of her residential area, and we saw a woman fleeing on a black motorcycle."

"This is clearly a guilty conscience!"

"Is it Zhang Yan?"

"It’s still uncertain, but I reckon it should be her."

"Because the security said there’s only one woman riding a motorcycle in that area."

Finally, Mr. He said, "Next, we have to immediately organize a chase and blockade against her."

After hanging up, he immediately dialed Mr. Zhang’s number.

At this moment.

Mr. Zhang was sipping tea in his office.

Hearing the phone ring, he glanced at it and was quite pleased.

He laughed and said, "Could it be that we already have results so quickly?"

Speaking, Mr. Zhang slid his finger across the phone screen.

"Hello! Have you brought her back?"

After pausing for a moment, Mr. He said, "Chief! Sorry! I let you down!"

"One of the two female suspects we locked down earlier is nine months pregnant, suspicion has been ruled out."

"However, the other female suspect ran away!"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang’s teacup suddenly trembled.

"In which direction did she escape?"

"Provide me with her personal characteristics and identity information."

"I will immediately contact the traffic department to conduct a city-wide search."

Mr. He replied, "Black motorcycle, blue top, black pants...."

"Understood! I’ll contact the deployment immediately."

Just as Zhang Feng was about to hang up, Mr. He reported, "Chief, we are in this woman’s home, discovering some clues worth further investigation."

"What clues?"

"We found a group photo in her home."

"Oh?"

Mr. He explained, "The man in the photo should be the deceased Li Lan’s father."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhang was momentarily stunned.

After a long pause, he asked, "Are you implying..."

"I suspect there might be an inappropriate relationship between them."

Silent for a long time, Zhang Feng said solemnly, "Investigate along this line immediately and strive to find the motive for the crime."

After hanging up, Mr. Zhang immediately sent the suspect’s personal information and photos to the transport department’s workgroup.

The transport department immediately initiated interception operations at railways, airports, passenger stations, and various traffic checkpoints.

Forty minutes later, a message came from the transport department.

"Chief Zhang, we intercepted a woman riding a motorcycle at the 312 provincial road checkpoint, with very similar characteristics."

"Good! I’ll arrange someone to respond immediately."

Thirty minutes later, the woman riding the black motorcycle was brought to the criminal investigation team’s interrogation room.

At the same time.

Mr. He and his team also returned to the criminal investigation team.

Seeing Zhang Feng, Mr. He’s face still showed some embarrassment.

He said helplessly, "Chief, I’m really sorry!"

"We didn’t expect that woman to escape."

Mr. Zhang smiled.

"It’s okay, she has already been intercepted and brought into the interrogation room."

After hesitating a bit, he said, "Chief Zhang, I want to apply for conducting this interrogation."

Without any hesitation, Mr. Zhang nodded firmly.

"Alright! You lead the interrogation!"

"We’ll be watching from the side."

Two minutes later, Mr. He and Li Tao entered Interrogation Room 1.

Zhang Feng, Wu Wei, Wan, and Zhang Yean stood outside the interrogation room by the one-way glass.

In the interrogation room, Mr. He asked sternly, "Name? Age? Occupation?"

The woman opposite raised her head to look at them.

"Zhang Yan, 38 years old, freelance media."

"Do you know why you were brought here?"

Zhang Yan shook her head.

"How would I know!"

"I was planning to go on a trip and was inexplicably brought here by you guys."

"Going on a trip?"

Mr. He raised his voice, "I think you were trying to escape, right?"

"Escape?"

"I was just riding normally, how could that be escaping."

"Why did you try to run when we chased you at your residential entrance?"

"I didn’t run!"

"Besides, I didn’t know anyone was chasing me!"

After pondering for a bit, Mr. He decided not to dwell on this issue.

He stood up, took a photo and placed it in front of her.

"Do you know this man?"

Zhang Yan lightly nodded, "I know! Just a friend."

"What kind of friend?"

"This is my personal privacy, I don’t need to answer that, do I?"

Mr. He slammed his hand down on the table.

"Please be honest."

"Now, we are investigating a case, you must answer the questions truthfully."
