CHAPTER 310: CHAPTER 196: IS THIS THE MOTIVE?

After a long silence, Zhang Yan replied, "He was a leader in my previous company."

"Leader?"

"That simple?"

Mr. He raised his voice and said solemnly, "I saw your family portrait, it doesn’t seem like a leader-subordinate relationship?"

In an instant, Zhang Yan bowed her head and fell into silence.

Then, Mr. He asked, "His daughter Li Lan is dead, do you know?"

"I don’t know!"

"I haven’t been in contact with this man for a long time."

"I am not aware of his family situation."

"Speaking so cleanly, huh?"

Next, Mr. He said, "I now suspect you are involved in his daughter’s death."

"I want to ask where you were and what you were doing on the night of the tenth, two months ago?"

"Two months ago?"

Zhang Yan bowed her head to think for a moment.

"I’m really sorry, I have a bad memory, and I’ve been suffering from insomnia recently."

"I really can’t recall what I was doing two months ago."

Mr. He said sternly, "Don’t pretend to be confused with me!"

"Honesty leads to leniency, resistance leads to strictness."

"If you are truthful and honestly confess your crimes, we may actively apply for a reduced sentence."

Zhang Yan shrugged, "I have nothing to confess, I didn’t commit a crime!"

At this time, Mr. He felt a rush of anxiety.

Although her suspicion is great, there is no hard evidence in hand.

This is perhaps why this woman is fearless.

Suddenly, Mr. He had a flash of inspiration.

He hurriedly turned his head and whispered, "Quickly find the technicians to collect her footprints and compare them to see if they match the ones at the crime scene."

"Yes!"

Immediately, Li Tao opened the door and walked out of the interrogation room.

Fifteen minutes later, a young police officer came over with a mold.

He came to the woman’s side, crouched down, and placed the mold at her feet.

"Please take off your shoes."

Zhang Yan chuckled. "No problem! Go ahead!"

"A clear conscience fears no shadowy activity, I’m innocent."

Very soon!

The young technician collected the footprint information.

He carefully compared the footprint information from the scene with Zhang Yan’s footprint.

Five minutes later.

He came to Mr. He’s side, whispered, "Mr. He, it’s not the same pair."

Mr. He was shocked, "Could it be she’s not the murderer?"

The young technician answered, "I think we can’t rule out the possibility that she’s the murderer."

"Because the shoes on her feet are very new, possibly just bought, without obvious wear marks."

"From the shoe size, it’s a match."

"But, you know, many shoes share the same size."

"So, judging solely by shoe size doesn’t hold much reference value."

Considering this briefly, Mr. He asked, "Is there a further way to distinguish?"

The young police officer said, "I suggest finding her home shoes for comparison, there might be a result."

Upon hearing this, Mr. He felt a wave of disappointment.

When he first entered the interrogation room, he was confident, determined to succeed.

He even wanted to get the female suspect’s confession in one fell swoop.

But now, unexpectedly, he got nothing.

Moreover, this woman is completely unafraid of the interrogation.

Seeing the robust physique of the woman in front of him, Mr. He felt it matched the characteristics of a criminal suspect very well.

The crucial point is her special relationship with the deceased Li Lan’s father.

Especially when she saw the police chase, she fled directly.

Mr. He pondered for a while, all these things indicated her suspicion was very high.

Meanwhile.

Outside the one-way glass window of the interrogation room, Mr. Zhang also frowned deeply with a worried expression.

He turned to look at Jiang An.

"Do you think this woman is the murderer?"

Jiang An thought for a moment, then gently nodded.

"Judging from my personal intuition, it should be her."

Mr. Zhang sighed, "But we focus on objective evidence."

"This woman has strong psychological resilience, just breaking through her statement, I think, is unlikely."

"And even if she verbally admits, it can’t rule out the possibility of her denying it in court."

Jiang An lightly nodded in agreement.

After all, for a suspect like this.

Without solid evidence, a statement is like a blank piece of paper, with not much significance.

He can say this today, and say something else tomorrow.

After thinking for a while, Jiang An said, "Mr. Zhang, I think the key is to find solid evidence, like critical trace physical evidence."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Feng said, "You mean?"

"I mean, look for individual evidence of the suspects."

"Footprints?"

Jiang An shook his head.

"Footprint evidence is limited."

"Because a footprint can be left by many pairs of shoes."

After a long pause, Zhang Feng said, "Brother Jiang An, I just heard Mr. He say they found Zhang Yan’s residence."

"Do you need to investigate her home?"

Jiang An nodded, "That’s a good idea."

"If she’s the suspect, we might be able to find some key clues and evidence."

"Alright, I’ll leave this matter to you."

"No problem! I’ll go to her house right away for a thorough investigation."

Just as the three of them turned, Zhang Feng said sternly, "Brother Jiang An, thank you."

"This woman can only be detained for 24 hours, so we don’t have much time to solve the case."

Jiang An nodded with resolute eyes.

"We will do our utmost."

"Commander, I’ve handled so many cases and have come to a realization."

"No case is unsolvable, nor is there a perfect crime, it just means we’re not close enough to the truth."

"Well said! I await your good news!"

The two nodded to each other, seeing determination and persistence in each other’s eyes.

minutes later.

Jiang An, Wan, and Zhang Yean arrived at Zhang Yan’s residence.

Before setting out, they specially issued a search warrant and brought Zhang Yan’s key.

As soon as the security door opened, a faint fragrance wafted in.

Wan looked up.

"This home looks very cozy."

Zhang Yean glanced at the lush green plants on the balcony.

Jiang An entered the room, not like the usual crime scene investigation.

He walked into the room, surveyed around.

On the countertop, he saw a photo of Li Lan with a man.

Suddenly, Jiang An recalled Li Lan’s appearance.

From the perspective of forensic anthropology, the man’s facial features were very similar to Li Lan’s.

Jiang An felt no need for a parentage test to confirm their kinship.

He picked up the photo, the two tightly embraced and looked very intimate.

After putting down the photo, he said solemnly, "Brother, sister, let’s investigate this home together to see if there are any important discoveries?"

"Alright!"

Soon the three divided the work, checking the drawers in the bedroom, study, and living room.

minutes later, Zhang Yean suddenly said, "Wow, didn’t see that coming."

"This woman has had quite a few miscarriages, I found four miscarriage records."

Wan curled his lips and said, "Young people have restless minds, and vigorous energy."

With the speaker having no intention, the listener took note, Jiang An suddenly came over.

He took the medical record from Zhang Yean.

Seeing Jiang An’s serious expression, Zhang Yean asked, "Is there something special about this?"

He specifically turned to the surgical records and found the most recent one was due to an ectopic pregnancy miscarriage, with part of the ovary removed.

Seeing this, Jiang An thought for a long time.

Suddenly, a bold idea crossed his mind.

Could this be the motive?
