Chapter 806: Murder Scene (2)

Mu Chen’s brows deepened when he heard this. “Alright, that’s all I want to ask. Thank you for your cooperation. If you find anything else or remember anything else, please contact us immediately.”

Mr. Li nodded repeatedly. “Of course.”

After Mu Chen and Mr. Li finished questioning, they went to a few nearby units to ask about the situation last night, but found nothing.

Finally, Mu Chen walked back again and said to Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youlin, “We have a general understanding of the situation. Mr. and Mrs. Mu, you can head back first. We will tell you when we have made progress in our investigation.”

Mu Tingfeng and Zhao Youlin naturally agreed, “Then we’ll have to trouble you, Officer Jiang.”

Mu Chen pursed his lips. Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something and asked in a low voice, “By the way, forgive me for being presumptuous. May I ask where Mr. and Mrs. Mu were between 10:00 and 12:00 last night? Do you have anyone to act as a witness to set your alibis?”

Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows. She knew that Mu Chen was just doing his job, so she spoke truthfully. “We were at home from 10:00 pm to 12:00 pm last night. We told the children bedtime stories. After that, we sent the children back to their rooms. After that, we went to sleep. The people at home can attest for us. Is there anything else?”

Mu Chen thought for a few seconds and said with a smile, “No. Take care, both of you.”

“Okay.”

When the Zhao family members found out that Zhao Yifei had not returned to the Sun family but had stayed in Shalnork, they were all shocked, compounded by the fact that he had been killed in some random condominium.

“How did he die all of a sudden?” Duan Yarong’s face was solemn. Although the things that Sun Fengzi had done made Duan Yarong hate her to the bone, Zhao Yifei had never done anything outrageous. Duan Yarong would definitely be lying if she said that she didn’t care about another living person.

“We were also very surprised. When we arrived, Zhao Yifei was already...” Zhao Youlin hesitated for a while, but she didn’t tell them what had happened. She only said vaguely, “I looked inside. Zhao Yifei must have gotten into an argument with someone in his condominium and accidentally...”

Duan Yarong sighed for a while. Upon suddenly realizing what Zhao Youlin had said, her expression changed slightly. “You guys saw it? Why did you guys go to see that kind of... such a grizzly scene? How bloody is it? Were you scared? No, I have to let Uncle Zhao burn incense tonight and go to the bloody scene. It’s such a dark end of the year.”

Zhao Youlin didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Mom, you weren’t so superstitious in the past.”

Duan Yarong glanced at Zhao Youlin disapprovingly and said in a serious tone, “Can’t be too safe.”

Zhao Youlin was speechless.

“...Alright, as long as you’re happy.”

The awkward atmosphere between them dissipated after this rather humorous exchange, but it was still a little solemn.

Zhao Youlin turned her head and saw the former master’s face looking full of worry. “Grandfather, what’s wrong?”

The former master sighed and said simply, “Don’t tell your third uncle about this.”

Zhao Youlin was stunned for a moment and quickly reacted. She nodded with a solemn expression. “Yes.”

Although Zhao Yifei was not Zhao Shunchang’s biological son, he had raised him for so many years. Even a dog would occupy a spot in your heart, let alone a human.

Learning that Zhao Yifei was dead would be devastating to Zhao Shunchang.

However, they knew very well that such a thing could only be kept hidden for a while. Zhao Shunchang would learn about it sooner or later, but they still hoped that he did not have to hear it from them.

Zhao Youlin and the others originally thought that this matter was already surprising enough. They did not expect that there would be more surprising things to come.

On the other side, Zhao Youming finally had a good night’s sleep. He was still thinking about what kind of surprise Zhao Youxi would bring him in the near future, but he didn’t expect that someone would bring him an absolute shock in the end.

One day, Zhao Youming was having lunch when a burst of noise suddenly came from outside. Zhao Youming frowned, but before he could say anything, the butler had already rushed in with a few police officers.

When he saw those people, Zhao Youming’s expression suddenly darkened. He only knew that these people were here because of that woman, but they didn’t expect that...

“I’m sorry, Mr. Zhao. We suspect that a fresh murder case is related to you. Please come with us and cooperate with the investigation.”

Zhao Youming’s expression suddenly changed. “A new murder case? I’ve been staying at home. How could it be related to a new murder case? Are you mistaken?”

When the police officers heard Zhao Youming’s words, they thought he was quibbling and frowned, he said coldly, “Mr. Zhao, please cooperate with our work. Your fingerprints were found at the crime scene. This is absolutely true. If you continue to say such glib words, can we think that you’re guilty?”

“My fingerprints were found at the crime scene?” Zhao Youming’s eyes suddenly widened in disbelief. “What’s going on? I’ve been staying at home every day. The people you arranged outside all saw it and now they’re telling me that my fingerprints were found at the crime scene. How is this possible? This is definitely slander, a false accusation!”

The policeman who was yelled at by Zhao Youming was stunned. He had been a policeman for so many years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a stubborn person who did not cooperate. His expression became even more unsightly. “Mr. Zhao, whether it’s framing or slander, please come with us to the police station and explain it clearly. We will have our own judgment.”

Zhao Youming’s eyes were red as he looked at the policeman. The policeman did not want to be outdone and looked back. The two of them stared at each other for a long time, but in the end, Zhao Youming was the first to lose. His face was livid. He left with a few policemen.

Once Zhao Youming left, the housekeeper in the house panicked. After a moment of hesitation, he called the main residence of the Zhao family.

The former master called Zhao Youlin. When she found out that Zhao Youming was involved in Zhao Yifei’s case, she was shocked. She simply told the former master that she would talk about this matter when she returned home.

Duan Yarong and her husband were also surprised when they heard about it. That night, Zhao Youlin went back to the Zhao family with them. Mu Tingfeng went to pick Zhao Youlin up and went with them when he heard about it.

“What’s going on? How is this related to Zhao Youming?” Zhao Youlin asked as soon as she got home.

The former master didn’t look good either. When he heard Zhao Youlin’s question, he turned around and gave Uncle Zhao a look, asking him to explain it to him.

“We don’t know much either. We only know that young master Zhao’s fingerprints seem to have been detected at the crime scene.”
