"Ye Chen, what do you mean?"
"Ah! No! I mean, thanks to our J District. The police force is under the command of the wise and mighty Captain Huang. Otherwise, I wouldn't have found so many clues in another ten years, let alone come this far.”
Huang Shiwen was amused by Ye Chen.
"Your level of flattery and your level of reasoning are completely reversed.”
"It's really bad. Flattering others is not my forte. That's why I said that I'm a detective, and detectives usually only tell the truth.”
"Alright, I'll forgive you this time.”
" Captain," Liu Bo said on the phone," don't be so busy flirting with my master. What should we do now?"”
Huang Shiwen did not answer. Instead, she looked at Ye Chen with a red face.
"Do Zhou Shijie's family members know that Zhou Shijie is dead?”
Ye Chen asked Huang Shiwen seriously.
"His wife has been notified."
"How are the family members feeling?"
"His daughter doesn't know the truth yet, but it's said that his wife's mood fluctuates greatly. It seems that the relationship between them is still okay.”
"It seems that now is not the right time to question his wife. Let's wait a little longer. We'll contact her in an hour or two.”
"Alright, Master is Master. You've thought too thoroughly!”
"It's just necessary for handling cases. Oh right, I have to remind you to tell Xing in Area B. Police, you must protect the mother and daughter!”
"Master, don't worry! Even if the criminal had the guts, he wouldn't dare to send someone into the police station. It's a crime!"
"Alright, that's it for now."
"Alright! Goodbye, Master!"
Huang Shiwen pouted and hung up.
"This Liu Bo is really a glib talker."
"It's good to be active."
Ye Chen smiled calmly and did not say anything else.
——
When the police car returned to the vicinity of the police station, it was already a night with a bright moon and stars.
Jordan glanced at the time on his phone. It was 18:40.
"Why don't we have a meal first? After that, we will contact Zhou Shijie's wife.”
"Alright, I wouldn't have felt it if you hadn't mentioned it. Now that I've heard you say it, I'm hungry. Where are we going to eat?”
"This is your territory, so he must have listened to your suggestion.”
"There's a western restaurant one street away.”
"How embarrassing."
Ye Chen looked at Feng Xiaoyu who smiled and said,"I'm fine. I'm not picky."
"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. It's all thanks to you that we avoided going further and further in the wrong direction.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Huang Shiwen stepped on the accelerator without hesitation. In less than five minutes, the three of them arrived outside the western restaurant she mentioned.
The advantage of a police car was that even if they found a place to stop, they did not have to worry about being troubled or being ticketed by the traffic police.
During the meal, Huang Shiwen kept asking about Ye Chen's past. For example, he was clearly just a university student. Why was he so good at deduction and knew all kinds of investigation techniques?
Feng Xiaoyu could tell that Huang Shiwen was very interested in Ye Chen. She was a little uneasy but she did not stop the two of them from talking and laughing non-stop in front of her.
She had neither the reason nor the courage to stop him.
Moreover, Feng Xiaoyu was also very interested in Huang Shiwen's question.
However, Ye Chen only cared about eating. Huang Shiwen's questions were basically all answered by him. In the end, Huang Shiwen did not get any information about Ye Chen at all. Instead, she felt that he was even more mysterious.
In the end, Ye Chen did not fight with Huang Shiwen for the bill. No one cared about the cost of a meal, but he knew that if he fought with Officer Huang for the bill, it would only make her furious.
The three of them filled their stomachs and returned to the police station. They looked at the time and saw that it was almost eight o'clock at night.
"The main event is coming."
Ye Chen's four fingers on his right hand were tapping rhythmically on Huang Shiwen's desk.
"Are you going to contact Zhou Shijie's wife?”
"Yes, give Liu Bo a call and ask him to give me his contact information.”
"Alright."
Huang Shiwen quickly contacted Liu Bo and got his number in less than half a minute.
Ye Chen memorized the number but hesitated before he pressed the dial button.
She was about to face a woman who had just lost her husband.
Ye Chen repeatedly reminded himself not to forget this.
He took a deep breath and pressed his thumb down.
After a long time, the other end of the phone picked up.
"Hello," Ye Chen tried his best to control his tone to be approachable.
"Hello…"
From the voice, it could be determined that the person who answered the call was a middle-aged woman. She was sobbing, as if she had just cried.
"Are you Zhou Shijie's wife?”
"I am…"
"I'm very sorry to disturb you at this time, but in order to find the murderer of your husband as soon as possible, we have no choice but to do this.”
"It's okay, I understand. If you have any questions, ask them. As long as we can catch the murderer..."
Ye Chen secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He was lucky to have met a reasonable woman.
"Thank you for your understanding. Do you know Zhao Haisheng?”
"Yes, he is my husband's friend and often comes to our house as a guest. Do you suspect that he is the murderer?”
"No, you might not know yet, but Zhao Haisheng's family was killed.”
" What…?!"
Zhou Shijie's wife was very surprised. Ye Chen felt that she was not pretending.
"And we suspect that the murderer of your husband and the murderer of their family of three are very likely to be the same person!”
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
Zhou Shijie's wife seemed to find it hard to accept such a huge amount of information.
