Modern society’s transfer was very convenient, if there was mobile banking, you could transfer a large amount within 1 hour, and there were fewer and fewer occasions to use cash. Zhou Ziyang’s drawer and suitcase had so much cash, there must be hidden secrets.
Captain Lin turned his head and asked Jiang Pingce, “Xiao Jiang, what do you think of this cash?”
Jiang Pingce found that the captain especially liked to ask him. Of course, he was now Captain Lin’s apprentice, a little intern police, maybe his performance would affect the final score?
Jiang Pingce sorted out his clues and replied seriously, “If you don’t take a bank transfer, it may be because this money can’t be transferred to an account in an honest manner and leave a transfer record. In this case, either someone bribed him by giving cash privately, and he dared not deposit it into the bank; Or, he secretly took more cash and wanted to conduct some illegal transactions with people.”
Whether it was a bribe or a secret transaction, cash was indeed a more secure way than transferring money.
Captain Lin nodded, and the colleagues behind him said, “Go to the bank to check Zhou Ziyang’s account flow in recent years, and also whether he has withdrawn a large amount of cash.”
The two colleagues immediately took action.
Other colleagues continued to search the office for evidence and also took all the fingerprints left in the office.
Ke Shaobin sat at his desk, sorting out the information in Zhou Ziyang’s computer. His mouse suddenly paused, adjusted his glasses, looked carefully at a document, and said after a moment, “Captain Lin, I found the divorce agreement in the deceased’s computer, and this agreement is filled in the name of Zhou Ziyang and Liu Lan.”
Lin Wei rushed forward with a step, frowning at the divorce agreement, and Jiang Pingce followed.
Ke Shaobin glanced back at Jiang Pingce, and quietly copied these materials into the laptop he carried, which was Ke Shaobin’s own laptop. He could also show it to his teammates later.
The first two lines of the agreement were personal information such as the names and ID cards of the husband and wife, followed by the statement: “Due to the breaking up of the husband and wife’s relationship, they are unable to continue living together and have decided to divorce after rational consideration, and have reached the following agreement on the rights and obligations involved.”
First, the principle of voluntariness, the divorce between the two is voluntary, without any coercion.
Second, real estate ownership, located in Jinzuo Garden Building A, Unit 1, 33-01, 33-02, 33-03, Villa C7, Villa Hills, Qingtang District, all purchased by Zhou Ziyang before marriage, the above four properties still belong to Zhou Ziyang at the time of divorce;
Third, the attribution of cash, stocks, etc: the husband’s annual income in the eight years after marriage is about 2 million, most of which is used for living expenses and child support, and the remaining deposit in the current account is 1 million, according to the principle of equal sharing of marital property, the woman will be paid 500,000 yuan in cash;
Fourth, child support, as the woman has no job, the man’s income is stable, the son Zhou Chengze is raised by the man, and the woman has the right to visit and does not need to pay support.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Pingce couldn’t help frowning—— Wasn’t this divorce agreement equivalent to the woman leaving the house?! Only giving 500,000 to send off the woman who had been with him for 8 years? This Lawyer Zhou was really cold-blooded!
When he asked his colleagues at the law firm before, someone mentioned that Zhou Ziyang’s wife, Liu Lan, was the school flower of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law, graduated from a prestigious school, and looked so beautiful. It was impossible for her to fail to find a job. The agreement mentioned that ‘the woman has no job’, so it was possible that she gave up her job and became a full-time wife for the sake of her family?
As a result, when the divorce was finalized, not only could she get the share of the house, she also couldn’t even keep the custody of the child.
Ke Shaobin whispered, “It’s too scary to marry such a scheming lawyer. Perhaps before getting married, he calculated how to minimize his property losses if he divorced one day.”
After all, lawyers knew the marriage best and knew how to legally fight for their best interest. Of course, this kind of lawyer who even had to calculate his own wife was also a minority, and it was strange in the lawyer world.

Lin Wei touched his chin and said, “It seems that we have to find this Ms. Liu to have a chat.”
Last night, the police team worked overnight, and had found the contact information of the family of the deceased Zhou Ziyang. His parents had long died, and captain Lin wanted to contact his wife to claim the body, but the phone call could not be reached.
Captain Lin looked at Jiang Pingce and said, “Xiao Jiang, try calling Liu Lan’s phone again.”
Jiang Pingce dialed Liu Lan’s phone. After a few busy beeps, the phone was answered, and her voice sounded very gentle, “Hello, may I ask who you are?”
There were noisy background sounds around, and he could clearly hear the mechanical sound of ‘No. 17 Yu Minhui, please go to No. 3 Consultation Room.’
Was it a hospital?
Jiang Pingce calmly said, “Hello Ms. Liu. I’m a police officer of the Qingtang District Criminal Police Force. There is a case that needs your assistance in investigating, please take time to go to the police force today to make a statement.”
Liu Lan was surprised, “Police? Is there something wrong?” There were footsteps coming from his ears, and she came to a quiet corner with her mobile phone and said, “I’m sorry, I’m in the hospital, and it’s a little noisy here.”
Lin Wei answered the phone from Jiang Pingce’s hand and said, “Ms. Liu, did you contact your husband last night?”
Liu Lan was silent for a moment and said, “We have been separated for a long time, and I don’t know about his affairs.”
Captain Lin said straightforwardly and said, “We’re sorry to inform you that your husband fell to his death last night. Please go to the police station as soon as possible to claim his body.”
Liu Lan’s voice instantly rose, “What? Fall down to death?”
Captain Lin said, “Zhou Ziyang fell to his death from the Xinghai Building last night. Please come and claim his body.”
Liu Lan’s voice trembled slightly, “You’re not a liar, right?”
Captain Lin said solemnly, “I’m Lin Wei, the captain of the Qingtang District’s Criminal Police Force, police officer number 78513, you can call the police force to verify.”
Liu Lan was silent for a moment and hung up the phone.
Jiang Pingce took back his mobile phone and immediately sent a message to Liu Zhaoqing: “Senior brother, trouble you to check a patient named Liu Lan. She is seeing a doctor in your hospital, and we need her detailed medical information.”
A moment later, Liu Zhaoqing replied: “She is in the psychology department. She has been to the hospital three times in the past year, and each time the diagnosis record is depression. The doctor also prescribed her with depression-related drugs.”
Depression?
Was she knowing that her husband cheated on her and wanted to divorce her that gradually led to depression?
She had sufficient motives to kill Zhou Ziyang, but how did she carefully plan to push Zhou Ziyang off the rooftop of the building? How did she avoid the monitoring of the building?
This case was full of doubts, and the specific conclusion would have to wait until they saw Liu Lan.
The colleagues took away all the information of the cases handled by Zhou Ziyang, and there were no other clues in the office, so everyone was just done for the day.
The forensic doctor quickly gave the results of the autopsy.
Xin Yan immediately sent the results to Jiang Pingce’s mobile phone: “The cause of death was the cracks of the skulls and internal organs caused by the fall from a height. The presence of alcohol residue in the blood, proving that he had drunk alcohol before he died. Judging by the degree of digestion of the stomach content, he ate supper within two hours before his death, eating steak. Semen was detected in the underwear and may have had sex with someone before death. Skin fragments and blood not belonging to him were found in the fingernails and are being tested for genetics.”
It seemed that Zhou Ziyang’s experience before his death was quite rich.
He should have ate supper around 10 o’clock last night, and then had sex with his mistress before dragging his suitcase into the building; Or, his mistress Chen Yueqin was waiting for him in the building, and the two went to the office of the Xinghai Building to find excitement. After finishing the matter, Zhou Ziyang fell from the rooftop.
The skin fragments and blood in his nails, maybe it was the murderer when he was struggling?
Jiang Pingce sorted out the existing information that came into a document and sent it to Yue Xingwen.
Yue Xingwen launched an investigation in the law firm, mainly investigating the two suspects, lawyer Qi and Chen Yueqin.
The police summoned Chen Yueqin, she denied having an ambiguous relationship with Zhou Ziyang, and insisted that she was looking for him to consult legal issues, “Officer, how many times do I have to say it before you believe it? My sister and my brother-in-law had a bad relationship and divorced, I was just consulting with Lawyer Zhou at that time, how to let my sister get custody of the house and children!”
Captain Lin asked, “Is your sister’s lawsuit going to trial?”
Chen Yueqin: “It’s long over, my sister only got the house, and the custody of the child was given to my brother-in-law.”
Jiang Pingce’s heart suddenly moved—— Yesterday, Xingwen heard Zhou Ziyang’s impatient tone on the phone. Could it be related to this case? If you’re not satisfied, you can appeal it. Was it Zhou Ziyang’s conversation with this ‘sister’? Or did he handle the other case?
Since Chen Yueqin did not admit it, Captain Lin simply threw the results of the genetic identification to her. “The skin fragment and blood stain in the nails of the deceased Zhou Ziyang are completely consistent with Miss Chen’s genes. We also found Miss Chen’s fingerprint in his office, how do you explain it?”
Chen Yueqin’s face changed suddenly.
Captain Lin followed and took out the necklace found on the rooftop, “Is this yours?”
When Chen Yueqin saw this necklace, as if she had seen a ghost, her lips began to tremble violently and said, “I, I have indeed been with Lawyed Zhou for half a year, and when I asked him for legal advice last year. I found that he was a gentle and talented man, I was fascinated with him for a while…”
Jiang Pingce asked in a low voice, “Do you know that Zhou Ziyang is going to divorce his wife?”
Chen Yueqin bit her lips tightly for a moment before saying in a mosquito-like voice, “I know, he said he would marry me after the divorce.”
Captain Lin said with a smile, “It seems that he gave you a lot of promises? If you find out that he is lying to you, and that he is just toying with you. Will you be so angry and push him down from the roof of the building?”
Chen Yueqin’s face suddenly turned as pale as paper, “Impossible!”
At this moment, Jiang Pingce received a message from Yue Xingwen: “Chen Yueqin’s colleague said that yesterday she went out after work to pack some food and returned to Xinghai Mansion. The earliest colleagues who went to work today said that when he entered the door at 8 am, he saw Chen Yueqin coming out of the lounge next to the office, and obviously here last night. They as designers, sometimes to catch up with the draft, will be directly in the office overnight; the boss provided them with temporary accommodation.”
Jiang Pingce put down his mobile phone and asked, “Did you sleep in the Xinghai Building last night?”
Chen Yueqin: “…”
Jiang Pingce leaned into Captain Lin’s ear, “A witness on the 39th floor saw her come out of the lounge at 8 am. Before 8 o’clock this morning, the surveillance at the entrance of the building did not record her entry and exit. It proves that she slept in the lounge on the 39th floor last night.”
In other words, all last night, Chen Yueqin was at the scene of the crime.
Captain Lin raised his eyebrows. “Miss Chen, you are now suspected, you had intimate contact with the deceased last night, and you still stayed in the Xinghai Building for the night. You are here when the crime happened, you have the motive for the crime, your skin and blood stains were found in the nails of the deceased, and the necklace from the rooftop was also confirmed to be yours. We can apply for your arrest now!”
Chen Yueqin was so frightened that her face turned bloodless, and she roared in collapse, “I didn’t kill him! Really! Last night, we were indeed in the office… But after it was over, I went back to the 39th floor and slept. It was around 11 pm, I fell asleep, I don’t know what happened next, I really wasn’t the murderer…”
The woman’s face was full of tears, and her makeup was worn out, and she didn’t know if it was because of sadness or fear.
However, no matter how she quibbles, her suspicion was indeed the biggest at the moment.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something, clenched her fists tightly, and said viciously, “It must have been killed by Liu Lan! Liu Lan knew that her husband was going to divorce her, not to give her a share of the property, but also to take away the child. She must have the heart to kill! Zhou Ziyang’s parents have died a long time ago, as long as Zhou Ziyang dies, she, as a spouse, is the only successor!”
At this moment, a colleague pushed the door and whispered in the ear of Captain Lin, “Liu Lan has come to claim the body.”
Jiang Pingce turned around, went out and saw a tall woman standing in the corridor.
She was wearing a linen dress, white high heels, long hair tied loosely behind her head, no makeup on her face. She didn’t look very good, but that beautiful, gentle temperament, walking in the crowd would be very eye-catching, even if she was now over 35 years old, but well maintained. She still looked young and beautiful, worthy of being the school flower of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law.
Unlike most family members who would break down when claiming the body, her mood was extraordinarily calm.
Jiang Pingce took her to the morgue. After seeing Zhou Ziyang’s pale face, Liu Lan said lightly, “That’s right, he is Zhou Ziyang. Can I take his body away?”
Jiang Pingce said, “After completing the formalities according to the regulations, you can take it away.”
Liu Lan nodded and said, “Thank you.”
She didn’t even have a drop of tears.
It was as if it was not her husband who died, but a stranger who had nothing to do with her.
