Ye Chen did not speak. He waited for the other party to recover.
After a minute of silence, Zhou Shijie's wife finally spoke again.
"I'm sorry, I didn't think about how things would turn out…"
"It's okay. I should apologize to you for letting you hear such bad news one after another.”
Ye Chen did feel apologetic deep down, but he had no other choice.
"But, why did this murderer want to kill my husband? And Zhao Haisheng and his family?"
The other party's voice contained intense hatred.
"That's what we're investigating. Do you know if your husband and Zhao Haisheng's family have any grudges with anyone recently?”
"Hmm…"
She seemed to be really thinking.
"No, at least my husband didn't offend anyone. He's kind and has never had any enemies. As for Zhao Haisheng's family..."
"I don't know much about it, but as far as I know, there isn't.”
"Then do you know that your husband and Zhao Haisheng are colleagues?”
"Of course I know. They're in the same team in the company and have worked together for more than five years.”
"Then may I ask if there is anyone else in this group other than the two of them?”
This was the question that Ye Chen was most concerned about.
If there were others, he might be the only one who knew the cause of death of Zhao Haisheng and Zhou Shijie.
The two victims worked in the same company and team. Jordan did not believe that it was just a coincidence.
"I don't think so. In my impression, the project that their team is responsible for is very small. There are only the two of them.”
Zhou Shijie's wife's answer made Ye Chen's heart sink.
"Think about it again?"
Considering that this was the only way out, Ye Chen did not want to give up.
Feeling the invisible pressure in Ye Chen's tone, Zhou Shijie's wife also reconsidered.
"Officer, maybe, but I don't know. Shijie and I remarried. It's been less than three years since we met.”
"If there are other members in their team, it might have happened three years ago.”
It seemed that Zhou Shijie's wife mistook Ye Chen for a police officer.
Ye Chen thought for a moment." I see. I understand. Thank you for your cooperation. I won't disturb your rest for now."”
"Alright, thank you for your hard work, officer."
After hanging up, Jordan held his phone in one hand and collapsed on the sofa.
"The clue is broken."
Huang Shiwen also became dejected.
"Yeah, it's unlikely that the case will be solved smoothly.”
"What should we do next?"
The confused Huang Shiwen could only ask Ye Chen for advice.
Ye Chen was in no hurry to answer this question. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the soft and comfortable sofa to think for a while.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and said,"Show me the photos of the two murder scenes!"”
Huang Shiwen immediately did as she was told and handed the photo to Ye Chen.
Jordan looked at each photo carefully.
The photos at the scene not only recorded the circumstances of the victim's death, but also traces of other rooms in the house.
Ye Chen checked them one by one, and a smile gradually appeared on his face.
"I understand."
After reading through everything, Ye Chen's smile was slightly smug.
"What do you understand?"
Huang Shiwen asked.
"Look at this photo, this one, and this one.”
Ye Chen pointed out the photos to Huang Shiwen.
"Is there a problem?"
"Of course!"
"Traces!" Ye Chen explained. Although it was cleverly concealed, these cabinets, drawers, and shelves all had traces of being opened and searched!”
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Huang Shiwen quickly looked at the photo again.
"It's true!"
"Do you know what this means?"
"The murderer is looking for something!" Huang Shiwen understood.”
"Yes, the murderer is likely looking for something.”
"But you killed so many people just to find something?”
"This means that this thing is very important to the murderer. It might be related to his life or involve great benefits!”
"If that's the case, do you think the murderer found this thing?”
"No, I haven't."
"Why?"
"Look, every place and every corner has been searched more than once.”
" This means that the murderer searched repeatedly but found nothing. However, he was unwilling and thought that he might have missed something, so he searched repeatedly.”
"It's a reasonable deduction, but it's useless even if we know all this.”
"Who said it was useless?"
Ye Chen smiled confidently." This means that this thing must still be in someone's hands. What we need to do is to find it before our opponents do!"”
"The problem is, who knows where this thing is?”
"We'll have to go back to the original case of the family extermination," Ye Chen analyzed calmly.”
"What do you mean?"
"Why was Zhao Haisheng's family killed? This was because the murderer felt that this thing was in Zhao Haisheng's hands. Moreover, Zhao Haisheng might have known a major secret of the murderer and was worried that Zhao Haisheng would leak it to his family.”
"Do you think that the '8.23' case was to silence people?”
Huang Shiwen was shocked by Ye Chen's deduction.
"Yes, in the end, the murderer sent someone to kill…Since he didn't find what he wanted in Zhao Haisheng's house, he set his eyes on Zhou Shijie, who was Zhao Haisheng's friend and colleague.”
" The murderer thought that Zhao Haisheng had given that item to Zhou Shijie," Huang Shiwen said with a half-understanding tone." But he didn't expect that Zhou Shijie's family didn't have it either."”
"Yes, so I guess that this thing is very likely in the hands of another person in their team.”
"Didn't Zhou Shijie's wife say that there was no one else in the team?”
"But she also said that within three years. What if there was such a person three years ago and he left?”
"If this person had a good relationship with the two victims, Zhao Haisheng might have given that item to this third person for safekeeping.”
This time, Huang Shiwen shook her head." But this is just your guess. We have no way to confirm whether this person exists or not, nor can we find him."”
"Who said there's no way?"
Ye Chen's handsome face revealed a sinister smile.
"What do you want?"
Huang Shiwen asked Ye Chen warily.
"Do me a favor. Call the police."
"What are you trying to do…?"
Ye Chen's lips curled up." It's very simple. Let's hack into Fuji Corporation's database and look at the files of Zhao Haisheng's team since its establishment.”
"As long as we check the records and information of their group from three years ago, won't we be able to know if there were other members in the past?”
