Detective From the Future

Around 5 p.m., Han Bin commandeered a classroom in Qingdao University, near the monitoring room, to hold a meeting. There were five people in that classroom, besides Han Bin and the two who were with him at school from the start, Tian Li and Zhao Ming, who checked correspondence records, also joined them.

Han Bin opened the diary and twirled a pen between his fingers and said: "Everyone is here, let's have a meeting."

It was Han Bin's first time hosting a group meeting, not only was he didn't use to it, but the others present were also unused to it.

"Cough..."

Han Bin cleared his throat: "I just contacted Captain Zheng, and Peng Yong Ren's parents finally recognized the body. Although the DNA test results have not yet come out, the parents have identified the deceased as their son."

Zheng Kaixuan was like a bridge, connecting the first group and the second group, keeping the information common between the two groups.

After Han Bin finished speaking, he looked at Tian Li from the side: "Did you find any clues when you went to the communication company?"

"We checked Peng Yong Ren's cell phone number, and the cell phone is now turned off. The last call was on October 6. The number was called around 3:00 p.m.," Tian Li opened the notebook and continued:

"Between October 1 and October 6, a total of six people contacted Peng Yong Ren, and the owners were Zhou Yue Tong, Cao Xia Ben, Zhao Jia Hui, and Zhang Bo Chao, Ren Xiao Feng, Song Zhi Xun, of which Song Zhi Xun is the last contact."

Han Bin wrote down the names of these people and asked: "Have you contacted these people?"

"I don't know about their relationship with Peng Yong Ren, and I didn't contact them in a hurry," Tian Li said.

Han Bin nodded and crossed out Zhou Yue Tong with the pen: "Zhou Yue Tong is Peng Yong Ren's ex-girlfriend, and people from the first group are investigating her, we don't have to worry about that right now."

"The first group is moving very fast," Zhao Ming muttered.

"Zhao Jia Hui is Peng Yong Ren's mother, so don't worry about her for now." Han Bin also fondled this name.

"That is to say, we still have four suspects," Zhao Ming said.

Han Bin turned his head and looked aside: "Li Hui, do you have any results of your investigation?"

Li Hui took out a document and handed it to Han Bin: "This is the document of Song Zhi Xun, who bought the light blue rope at the hardware store,"

Han Bin opened the document and saw a photo of a man in the upper left corner, the same person he had seen on the CCTV.

Name: Song Zhi Xun

Age: 20 years old

School: Qingdao University

Profession: Junior in the Department of Chemistry

Mobile number: 1320214XXXX

Address: Qingdao City.

"Song Zhi Xun was the last contact. He may have gone to the hardware store to buy the rope to commit the crime. At present, he is the most suspicious," Li Hui analyzed.

Han Bin thought for a moment: "I will organize the new tasks. Tian Li and Zhao Ming, you are in charge of investigating Cao Xia Ben, Zhang Bo Chao, and Ren Xiao Feng to see what their relationship is with the deceased… I will go to Song Zhi Xun with Li Hui to take his written statement… Xiao Peng, go to the surveillance room and continue to check the surveillance records."

......

At around 5:30 p.m. in Qingdao University, in the girls' dormitory, in a somewhat messy room with the number 209, among clothes scattered all over the corners of the room, two women were sitting on the lower bunks, one on each bunk, and a man was sitting at the desk.

The man was Wei Zimo from the first group of the Qingdao Third Criminal Investigation Team, and the eldest woman was Zhao Ying. The other, younger woman was Zhou Yue Tong, a pharmacy student.

After the routine questions Zhao Ying said directly: "Zhou Yue Tong, do you know why we are looking for you?"

"I do not know."

"What is your relationship with Peng Yong Ren?"

Zhou Yue Tong frowned: "It doesn't matter."

"Think carefully, you will be legally summoned and sworn in." Zhao Ying warned.

"We dated before, but now we broke up."

"Why Did You and Peng Yong Ren Break Up?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Mr. Police officer, what's wrong with you, please tells me directly." Zhou Yue Tong's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.

"This morning, a deceased was found in the woods of Qingdao University. It is very likely to be Peng Yong Ren."

"What did you say? Peng Yong Ren is dead!" Zhou Yue Tong showed a shocked look.

"Not bad."

"How did he die?" Zhou Yue Tong asked.

"We are at the investigation stage, and the reason we came to find you is to find out more about the situation."

"Heh." Zhou Yue Tong's expression was a bit complicated, and in the end, it turned into a sigh.

Zhao Ying observed Zhou Yue Tong's reaction: "What is the conflict between you and him?"

"He's dead, what's the point of talking about it," Zhou Yue Tong pursed her lips.

"You don't want to know how Peng Yong Ren died?"

Zhou Yue Tong shook her head.

"After all, you two dated. What about what you did so well between the two of you." Wei Zimo interrupted her.

"I broke up with him, what do you want me to do? Avenge him?" Zhou Yue Tong snorted.

"You don't need to avenge him, just cooperate with the police investigation and answer a few questions from us and our police will catch his murderer," Zhao Ying said.

"He deserves what he got." Zhou Yue Tong's eyes were red.

"What did he do to hurt you?" Zhao Ying asked on the way.

"He's a bastard. When he chased me, he obeyed every step of the way and his words were sweeter than honey. I had been with him for over a year. We rented a house together, cooked together, and cleaned the house together. He also gave me his bank card which was given to him, he called me 'my wife', I called him 'my husband', meanwhile, we were like a real husband and wife, and we lived happily together." Zhou Yue Tong remembered the past, and tears flowed involuntarily:

"But after living for a while, he changed a bit, he took his bank card back, and he even said he wanted to live in AA with me. The only thing is I am pregnant and want to go to the hospital for an abortion. He said he had no money and asked me to ask my parents for money. I'm still a student, how can I be so bold to tell my parents about this..." Zhou Yue Tong said sadder and sadder.

"Uuuu..." and burst into tears.

Zhao Ying did not continue asking, but handed over a handkerchief, leaving Zhou Yue Tong to cry for a while, and when the latter's mood stabilized, Zhao Ying, continued to ask: "Have you contacted Peng Yong Ren recently?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"October 1st."

"Why did you contact him?"

"I begged him to give me money for an abortion, and thought if he could help me, it would prove that he still had me in his heart and that I could give him another chance." Zhou Yue Tong showed a touch of self-mockery:

"As a result, I overestimated myself again. He said he had no money; I asked him to ask his parents, but he refused; he said nonsense words to make me understand he can't talk to his parents about that kind of thing."

Zhou Yue Tong said more and more excitedly: "What about me? Did he consider me?"

"According to Peng Yong Ren's parents, he returned to school on October 2 to resolve the dispute with you. Is it possible he brings funds for you?" said Zhao Ying.

"Haha." Zhou Yue Tong sneered: "He didn't want to collect money for me, but wanted money from me."

"What do you mean?"

"After being rejected by him, I was heartbroken; I needed money, Special needs." Zhou Yue Tong wiped away her tears and continued: "He found the landlord who rented the house, and he returned the rented house. The landlord deducted the deposit as agreed and returned the rent to him. Although the money isn't much, it's enough for abortion costs."

That is to say, the reason Peng Yong Ren returned to Qingdao on October 2 was to take care of the rental," Zhao Ying asked.

"On the morning of October 2, the owner asked me to move out, and I asked him to contact Peng Yong Ren before moving out. The owner called Peng Yong Ren, he was angry and called me to scold," Zhou Yue Tong snorted.

"Have you seen Peng Yong Ren from October 2 to 6?"

"Nope."

"What is the owner's name?"

"Cao Xia Ben."

"As far as you know, does Peng Yong Ren have any enemies?" Zhao Ying said.

"It's me."

"Except you?"

"He has a cheerful personality, and will endear himself to people when they first contact him, but after a long period of contact, when they start to like him, he will reveal his true nature."

"What is its nature?"

"Intimidating the soft and fearing the tough."

Zhao Ying leafed through the diary and asked: "Where were you between 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. on October 6?"

"Do you suspect I killed him?" Zhou Yue Tong asked.

"Student Zhou, don't get upset. I clearly asked to repay your innocence. After all, there are a lot of conflicts between you two," Zhao Ying explained.

Zhou Yue Tong thought for a moment: "I don't remember."

"Don't you remember what happened yesterday afternoon, in less than 24 hours?" Wei Zimo didn't believe it.

Zhou Yue Tong glanced aside: "I have a bad memory."

"In this case, we can only do business and investigate through other channels, such as asking your parents about the situation," Wei Zimo stood up and said.

"Wait, don't contact my parents, it has nothing to do with them," Zhou Yue Tong stopped.

"Where are you between 5:00 p.m. and 12:00 a.m. on October 6?" repeated Wei Zimo.

Zhou Yue Tong was silent for a while, before choking out two words: "At home."

"Who can prove it?"

"My parents," Zhou Yue Tong showed a pleading look: "I really don't want them to know this, please. Please don't contact them, and I really don't want..."

Zhao Ying reached out and patted her shoulder, comforting her: "Don't worry; we won't contact your parents."

"Really?" Zhou Yue Tong took a deep breath.

Zhao Ying nodded: "We will confirm it by other means, as long as you tell the truth and are willing to cooperate with the police; we will not affect your life."

"Thank you." Zhou Yue Tong said gratefully.

After asking a few more questions, Zhao Ying and Wei Zimo left the girls' dormitory.

Wei Zimo couldn't help but ask: "Captain Zhao, aren't you really going to ask Zhou Yue Tong's parents for evidence?"

"Testimony from immediate family members doesn't have much legal effect. Surveillance can confirm where she was yesterday," Zhao Ying explained.

Wei Zimo listened and continued: "I always feel like this woman is not simple or has something to hide."

"What is the basis?" Zhao Ying asked.

Wei Zimo organized the language and said: "Peng Yong Ren's teachers, parents, and classmates all said that he is a good student with excellent academic results, but Zhou Yue Tong's mouth turned him into a useless asshole, don't you think the contrast is too much big?"
