In the cafe.
There weren't many guests at night.
There were only three people at the front desk, two men and one woman.
The two men were a barista and a waiter.
The other woman was the female owner of the cafe, Liu Xi.
Ning Cheng had sat here a few times and was very familiar with the structure of the cafe.
The coffee shop was owned by the female boss, Liu Xi. She was usually in charge of the operation and reception of the coffee shop.
The male barista was responsible for the fine hand-ground coffee, while the waiter was responsible for the ordinary coffee and helping the customers.
Ning Cheng looked at the female boss of the cafe, Liu Xi, and his eyes flashed with surprise.
He had originally thought that Sun Huirong's murderer might be a man who had had a conflict with Wang Peng.
But in the end, he didn't expect it.
The murderer was actually a woman, and it was the female owner of the cafe, Liu Xi.
Did Wang Peng offend the coffee shop's female elder, Liu Xi?
Why did she push the suspicion to him?
Why did the female boss of the coffee shop, Liu Xi, want to kill Sun Huirong?
What irreconcilable conflict existed between the two of them?
Looking at the cafe's female boss, Liu Xi, Ning Cheng fell into deep thought.
On the other side.
Zhou Ziyan, the captain of the team, noticed the strange situation in Ning City. She also stared at the female boss at the front desk, Liu Xi, the barista, and the waiter.
"Of course."
Zhou Ziyan was experienced in criminal investigation and had sharp eyes. She noticed the red mark on the male Coffee Master's neck at first glance, as if he had been scratched.
"According to the autopsy results, Sun Huirong had a fierce fight with the murderer before she died. Her nails were broken, and she might have scratched the murderer.”
Zhou Ziyan's heart sank as she realized that something was wrong with this group of people.
"Hello, we are the police!"
Zhou Ziyan didn't hold back and showed her police ID.
At the same time, he showed his police officer ID.
She stared at the male barista's expression.
Sure enough, at this moment, Zhou Ziyan noticed that the male barista, Wen Zhengqian, was panicking.
Ning Cheng also noticed the male barista Wen Zhengqian's panicked expression.
Strangely, compared to the male barista, Wen Zhengqian, the real murderer, the female boss, Liu Xi, was relatively calm.
However, that was only relative.
Liu Xi was also a little nervous, but he quickly calmed down.
"There was a murder on the river opposite your cafe.”
Zhou Ziyan turned on her phone and showed Sun Huirong's photo.
"This is the victim, Sun Huirong. She was pushed into the river and drowned.”
The Coffee Master Wen Zhengqian quickly shook his head and denied,"I don't know him, I don't know him!"
Zhou Ziyan didn't let go of the female owner of the cafe, Liu Xi. She asked,"What about you?"
"I know him. I've seen him a few times. I think he came to the shop for coffee a few times!”Liu Xi held his head and recalled.
"Yes, her parents did say that she came here for coffee!”
Zhou Ziyan's gaze was sharp as she interrogated the male barista, Wen Zhengqian,
"Even she has an impression of Sun Huirong. As the barista in the shop, don't you have any impression of Sun Huirong?”
"Sun Huirong's looks aren't low. How can you not remember her?”
"I…" The Coffee Master touched the ring on his ring finger."I'm usually busy with work. I might have seen her before, but I don't have any impression of her.”
Zhou Ziyan asked a few questions in succession, her brows getting deeper and deeper.
"I want to retrieve the video surveillance footage from the cafe last night and conduct an investigation!”
Instantly, the Coffee Master Wen Zhengqian's pupils contracted and his body trembled.
Zhou Ziyan was getting more and more suspicious of the Coffee Master, but she didn't show it.
Not long after, the female boss, Liu Xi, retrieved the video surveillance from last night.
Zhou Ziyan glanced around and glared at the Coffee Master Wen Zhengqian.
"You said that you don't have any impression of Sun Huirong. What's this in the picture?”
"This still image shows you sitting next to Sun Huirong and chatting happily without any customers in the store.”
"Have you forgotten what happened yesterday?”
"I…"
The Coffee Master, Wen Zhengqian, was unable to defend himself. He looked at the video and shook his head.
"I've met Sun Huirong before, but I'm not a murderer!”
At the same time, Ning Cheng was also looking at the surveillance video records.
According to the surveillance cameras in the cafe.
At about 8:05 p. m., the victim, Sun Huirong, was drinking coffee at a cafe.
Seeing that there were no customers, the barista Wen Zhengqian sat opposite Sun Huirong and chatted for about ten minutes before Sun Huirong got up and left the cafe.
There was no sound in the video, so the conversation between the two was unknown.
"What did you and Huirong say in the video?”Zhou Ziyan stared at Wen Zhengqian.
"I asked Sun Huirong out to watch a play, and she agreed.”
At this moment, Wen Zhengqian blurted out everything and said anxiously,
"I really didn't kill Sun Huirong!"
"When is the play?" Zhou Ziyan asked.”
"Last night, there was a play at 9 o'clock, but Sun Huirong didn't show up. She didn't pick up my calls either!”
Zhou Ziyan's eyes narrowed.
According to Ning Cheng and Director Chen's autopsy, the time of death of the deceased, Sun Huirong, was between 9 and 10 o'clock last night.
This was the time when Wen Zhengqian was going to ask Sun Huirong out.
"Sun Huirong didn't show up. Where did you go?”Zhou Ziyan continued to ask.
"He didn't come to the appointment and didn't pick up his calls. I was a little angry, so I went back to my rented room!”
"You mean, you didn't go to the play, you went home, and someone witnessed it for you. Do you have proof of your absence?”Zhou Ziyan pressed on.
"I don't know, I'm the only one at home!" Wen Zhengqian's face turned pale.”
Zhou Ziyan's suspicion towards Wen Zhengqian grew as her alibi was insufficient.
"You're a suspect. You need to come with us to the police station for further investigation!”
"If you're not the murderer, the police won't accuse you wrongly. We'll clear your name!”
Zhou Ziyan signaled with her eyes, and the surrounding criminal police officers had their eyes on Wen Zhengqian.
"I'm really not the murderer!" Wen Zhengqian's body trembled and his face turned pale.
Zhou Ziyan signaled her team members,"Take it away first and make a copy of the surveillance footage!”
"Wait!"
At this moment, Ning Cheng shook his head.”
