Sorry I really forgot that today is Friday 
Chen Xueqin and Chen Yueqin’s relationship with the deceased Zhou Ziyang began in a divorce case. Judging from Chen Yueqin’s confession, she went to the law firm on the 40th floor to find Zhou Ziyang in order to help her older sister consult on divorce. Her older sister wanted to get custody of the house and the child, but the final trial result, her older sister only got the house, and the child was sentenced to her brother-in-law.
Yue Xingwen simply called Jiang Pingce and asked, “Is Chen Yueqin still locked up in the police force now?”
Jiang Pingce found a corner where no one was, and discussed with Yue Xingwen in a low voice, “At present, Chen Yueqin is the most suspected, and she can’t be released for the time being until a strong alibi is found. However, her emotions have collapsed now, tears have muddied her makeup. She can’t be the murderer who can kill calmly with such a psychological quality.”
Yue Xingwen asked, “The old necklace was taken back by Zhou Ziyang, does she have a new necklace given by Zhou Ziyang?”
Jiang Pingce said, “She wears a ruby necklace around her neck, which Zhou Ziyang gave last night. She said that she likes jewelry very much, and Zhou Ziyang fit to her fancy and bought her jewelry for every Valentine’s Day, Women’s Day, and birthday. She now wears bracelets, rings, earrings. A whole set of them were given to her by Zhou Ziyang. Lawyer Zhou has been generous to this love.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Chen Yueqin doesn’t like a character who can plan in advance and calmly kill, right? I think she should be very fond of Zhou Ziyang, who is serious about this relationship. Is it possible to kill people impulsively? For example, after having an affair last night, she heard Zhou Ziyang calling his wife and saying that he was just playing with her and never thought of marrying her, so she angrily pushed Zhou Ziyang down?”
Jiang Pingce nodded in agreement and said, “This possibility does exist, unless a third person sees that she was not on the rooftop on the top floor when the crime occurred last night, her suspicion is still difficult to clear”
He paused and suddenly lowered his voice, “Xingwen, I hung up first, Chen Xueqin was called to the police force.”
Yue Xingwen said, “Okay, it’s hard for you.”
Jiang Pingce did not sleep last night, and today he had been following captain Lin to investigate the case. His identity was a trainee police officer, the one with the most convenient access to the core clues. These two days could only work hard for him to follow up the security check.
Although Yue Xingwen was anxious in his heart, he could give help from outside.
Chen Xueqin and Chen Yueqin had completely different personalities. The older sister had curly hair, wore a cheongsam, was charming and sexy, and spoke very straightforwardly. Captain Li brought her to the interrogation room, and Jiang Pingce sat next to him to take notes, asking, “Name, age, occupation. Please answer formally.”
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was particularly serious, and cold handcuffs were hung on the seat.
Chen Xueqin was frightened by this rigorous battle, cleared her throat and said, “Hello two police officers, my name is Chen Xueqin, I’m 35 years old this year. I’m the owner of a clothing store, freelance… Officer, what do you want from me all of a sudden ah?”
Captain Lin said, “What is your relationship with Zhou Ziyang?”
Chen Xueqin was stunned, and only after a moment she said, “Lawyer Zhou? He helped me with my divorce case, we knew each other for about a year and were introduced by my younger sister.”
Captain Lin, “Yesterday at 6:30 pm, you spoke with Lawyer Zhou on the phone. Did you express your dissatisfaction with the outcome of the divorce case and complain that he did not help you take custody of your child?”
Chen Xueqin’s face was full of horror and asked, “You, how did you know about this?!”
Jiang Pignce said in a low voice, “An intern of the law firm, passing by the stairwell, happened to hear the content of Lawyer Zhou’s call, and we also found the call record of you calling him in Lawyer Zhou’s mobile phone.”

Lin Wei raised his eyebrows, “Money transaction in more than 5,000 is considered gambling. You have to be detained and controlled, you have this habit, it’s normal for the child not to be sentenced to you.”
Chen Xueqin was speechless.
Jiang Pingce asked, “So, you vented your grievances about the failure of the lawsuit on Lawyer Zhou?”
Chen Xueqin replied with a black face, “Who told him to be very confident before the trial, so I also trust him 100%. I sold my clothing store in advance, intending to take my son to a foreign place when the lawsuit was over. As a result, the lawsuit was lost, my plan was completely ruined, my son went abroad with his father, and the clothing store lost a lot of money. I was so angry that I had a headache and called him to scold him… It’s not too much, right?”
Lin Wei asked lightly, “You hold a grudge against him, have you ever thought about killing him?”
Chen Xueqin’s eyes widened and said, “Kill him? I’m not crazy, why should I kill him ah?!”
Noticing that something was wrong, she stared at Jiang Pingce’s mobile phone on the table as if she had seen a ghost, and her voice trembled uncontrollably, “Is this Lawyer Zhou’s mobile phone? How could it be in the hands of the police? He… did he…”
Lin Wei: “He is dead.”
Chen Xueqin shivered and had goosebumps all over.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, she immediately shook her head like a rattle and said, “I don’t know, it’s none of my business! He, when did he die? When I called him yesterday afternoon, he was fine and impatiently said that it was not easy to help me win the property, let me appeal, but did not want to care about my case…”
Jiang Pingce asked, “Where were you from 10:00 pm to 00:00 am last night?”
Chen Xueqin gritted her teeth and hesitated. Lin Wei said, “If you can’t provide an alibi, you will also become a suspect who killed Lawyer Zhou.”
Chen Xueqin hurriedly said, “I’m playing mahjong with a few sisters, playing all night! They can prove it!”
Lin Wei: “Can the other three people testify for you?”
Chen Xueqin nodded like pounding garlic and said, “Of course! We often play together.”
Jiang Pingce asked, “Someone witnessed that when you went to Lawyer Zhou, you stayed in his office for a few hours before coming out, what are you doing in the office? Have you ever had an improper relationship with Lawyer Zhou?”
Chen Xueqin immediately shook her head, “No, I just said my situation in detail and expressed my desire to get custody of my son. He explained some of the marriage laws to me and taught me what to do next because it was the first time we met and had a longer conversation.”
Captain Lin continued to ask, “Do you know the relationship between Lawyer Zhou and your younger sister?”
Chen Xueqin said mysteriously, “My younger sister said that Lawyer Zhou is her friend, but I think they are not like ordinary friends. Once I saw a jewelry box on Lawyer Zhou’s desk, that night, my younger sister also brought home the exact same jewelry box. It happened to be Valentine’s Day, it must have been sent by Lawyer Zhou, they should be lovers.”
Captain Lin: “Do you know that Lawyer Zhou is married?”
Chen Xueqin was stunned for a moment, “What? He’s married? Won’t my younger sister be a mistress?” She clenched her fist angrily, “This dead girl, I must give her a good fight when I go back and break her leg!”
Jiang Pingce: “…”
Chen Xueqin was soon released because her alibi was by far the clearest, having played mahjong all night yesterday, and her three partner sisters were able to give her testimony. It was said that she had very good luck last night, ate three and won several thousand.
The matter of gambling was not under the control of the criminal police force. Chen Xueqin and her three sisters were called by the police to be criticized and instructed to write a review. Even the ‘room’ to play mahjong was eliminated at once.
Yue Xingwen did not know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this.
Although the older sister, Chen Xueqin called and scolded Lawyer Zhou, she did not have time to commit the crime at all; His wife Liu Lan did not go downstairs last night; Could it be that only the mistress Chen Yueqin was really present last night?
What about Qi Zhao? He didn’t go home, but he lied to the police and said that he went home to sleep. Why?
Jiang Pingce reminded captain Lin, “Should we check Qin Zhao and the boss of the law firm, Liu Minghui?”
Captain Lin nodded and said, “En, ask one by one, it’s their turn.”
Liu Minghui soon arrived. The legend of the law industry and the founder of Minghui Law Firm, speaking with poise and courtesy. Regarding Zhou Ziyang’s death, he had obviously heard some news, and calmly said, “I’m Zhou Ziyang’s senior, and I take more care of him. After graduating, I started my own business and gradually made a name for myself and set up my own law firm. Zhou Ziyang was one of the first lawyers to join my firm.”
Captain Lin said, “Do you know who he has conflicts with in private?”
Liu Minghui shook his head and said, “I have spent very little time in the law firm in recent years, and I often travel to various places. Zhou Ziyang is already a mature lawyer and he can take cases by himself. I rarely ask about his work and personal affairs. We have more than a dozen lawyers, and I am only a ‘partner’ with them, not their housekeeper.”
“Where were you from 10:00 pm to 00:00 am last night?”
“I returned to Beishan City at noon yesterday, went to pick up my child from school in the afternoon, and never went out after I got home in the evening, practicing with my child until about 11:00 pm before going to bed.”
The last suspect, Qi Zhao, sat in the interrogation room, with dodging eyes, he still bit the bullet and said that he slept at home last night, until Captain Lin put out the monitoring of the community and said, “You say you sleep at home, but the monitoring of the Jinzuo Garden did not show you returning home. Did you fly into your home windows?”
Qi Zhao smiled awkwardly and forcibly argued, “I have another place to live, and I didn’t return to Jinzuo Garden last night!”
Captain Lin said, “But the monitoring at the door of the office building of Xinghai Building did not capture you going out.”
Qi Zhao: “……”
Jiang Pingce said coldly, “Last night, did you stay in the Xinghai Building?”
Qi Zhao’s face turned incomparably pale.
Captain Lin said, “What is it difficult to say? Hurry up and say, otherwise you are the biggest suspect.”
Qi Zhao was about to crush a mouthful of teeth, and even couldn’t help but burst out a foul language, “Fuck! I have a case that will go to trial in two days, and last night I wanted to stay in the law firm to work overtime to sort out the information, but as a result, it was really fucking unlucky, I actually saw Chen Yueqin and Zhou Ziyang secretly go to the restroom to make out, I really– really…. I can’t wait to poke myself in the eyes!”
His lips were trembling slightly, “I– I chased Chen Yueqin for half a year, her attitude is seemingly neither close nor distant, I thought that she is a reserved goddess. As a result… It’s so fucking ruined my three views, these two perverts doing it in the women’s toilet!”
If his words were true, witnessing the goddess who was his crush fooling around with someone in the toilet would indeed make him want to poke himself in the eye.
Jiang Pingce said, “Zhou Ziyang not only robbed your customer, but also robbed the woman you have a crush on. Do you have the motive to kill him?”
Qi Zhao hurriedly shook his head and said, “No, am I crazy to sacrifice myself for such a scum?” In order to clarify his suspicion, he immediately took out his mobile phone and opened one of the videos, “Last night from 10:00 pm to 00:00 am, I hid in my office, did not dare to turn on the light, closed the curtains, nestled in the sofa and played games with friends online.”
In the mobile phone, he had the text chat records, voice records, and game records of him and a few friends in the group. From 10:00 pm to 00:00 am, they played ranked, lost 4, won 4, and were busy all night in vain. Qi Zhao’s game skill was okay, and got the MVP.
He also graduated from the University of Political Science and Law, two terms lower than Zhou Ziyang. The motive made sense if he killed Zhou Ziyang in anger because Zhou Ziyang stole his client and also stole his crush. But he wouldn’t push Zhou Ziyang downstairs while playing games, right?
After the interrogation, Jiang Pingce told Yue Xingwen the result.
Yue Xingwen analyzed and said, “The suspects all have an alibi. His wife, Liu Lan and the boss, Liu Minghui, didn’t seem to go downstairs from the monitoring. Qi Zhao and Chen Yueqin are both one-sided, Qi Zhao secretly in love with Chen Yueqin, the relationship is complicated. And these two people are still suspects.”
He touched his chin and thought about it, and suddenly asked, “By the way, what about the cash?”
Jiang Pingce said, “The results of the investigation of bank flow came out. In the past three years, Zhou Ziyang has not withdrawn more than 100,000 yuan in cash from the bank, and the cash amount in the on-site drawers and suitcases is as high as 2 million.”
Yue Xingwen was shocked, “That is to say, this money is actually his gray income?”
Jiang Pingce nodded and said, “That’s right. The firm’s lawyer, and founder Liu Minghui is a partnership, who provides them with office locations and client resources, and gives the firm a percentage of the income from their lawsuit. Client payments generally go to the law firm’s account, and the law firm also has professional accountants to send money to lawyers and help them pay taxes.”
Yue Xingwen analyzed these lines and said, “The money did not go to the law firm’s account, nor to Zhou Ziyang’s private account, but 2 million in cash… There is only one explanation: unidentified origin, ill-gotten wealth!”
Previously, they wondered if he was withdrawing the deposit in order to transfer the marital property, but the bank statement did not have a record of him withdrawing cash, moreover, he was a lawyer. There were many ways to transfer property, and there was no need to use the stupid method of ‘withdrawing cash’.
It seemed that the third possibility was the most correct conjecture at the time.
Lawyer Zhou took bribes and took a huge amount of money, and he did not dare to deposit it in the bank rashly.
Those who knew about this could certainly use this reason to threaten him and force him to hand over the money, which was why he suddenly returned to Xinghai Building with a suitcase of cash.
This person who knew about it might be the real murderer.
Who would it be?
I won’t even try to use my brain cells for this, I’m not qualified enough for this job
