Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 238 Confess to Me 11
Who threw Zhou Wen'an's body into the water?

And who pulled the body out and put it in the bar's restroom?
Why did that person expose the body after retrieving it?
Another bunch of problems have emerged.

Tan Jia asked in surprise, "When we were analyzing it before, we did guess that there was an accomplice who disagreed with Yuan Hanyue, and that this person was more powerful than Yuan Hanyue. But since they were able to cooperate to cover up the fact that Zhou Wen'an died in the unfinished building, I thought that they should be united against the outside world in general."

To put it another way, if this person wanted to expose Zhou Wen'an's body to attract the police's attention, why did they help Yuan Hanyue conceal the body's whereabouts in the first place? Isn't that a contradiction?
Zheng Yan said in a deep voice, "Therefore, there must be a greater conflict and a deeper secret between this person and Zhou Wen'an."

Exposing a corpse in a horror-themed bar, making people think it's a prop, only to find it's real when they touch it, causing them to run and scream in terror. To put it mildly, it's a perverse pleasure; to put it more bluntly, he wanted to create panic and let most people know in a short time that a platinum-blonde boy had died a horrific death.

Get everyone's attention, and then what?
Is it to get people to find Zhou Wen'an and expose what Zhou Wen'an has done?

Or was it to use Zhou Wen'an's death as an excuse to cry foul?
Or perhaps, it's to scare certain people?
A series of cases flashed through Zheng Yan's mind in an instant.

Tan Jia pondered as she kneaded the dough, still feeling that something was amiss.

"If the person who moved the body wanted to cry out for justice and warn someone, then he should have committed the murder himself. That way, he could have controlled the timing and the extent of the crime and ensured that it would perfectly align with his own plan."

"If someone else had committed the murder, how could he have guessed when and where Yuan Hanyue would kill? How could he have been sure that Yuan Hanyue would ask him for help after the murder, and that a horror-themed bar would happen to open so that the body could be placed there, allowing the plan to achieve its intended effect?"

Considering Yuan Hanyue's hesitant and distracted reaction when questioned yesterday at Moon Bay about "why she went to play a murder mystery game at an unfinished building," a faint clue has surfaced—

"Someone led them to the unfinished building, and perhaps even caused a dispute between Yuan Hanyue and Zhou Wen'an, calculating that Yuan Hanyue would take action."

With this conjecture, the cause and effect of the matter naturally became connected.

"This person must know Yuan Hanyue very well, and the people he brought to play the murder mystery game were all friends from the same camp. If the crime is committed in a murder mystery game store, the body and the scene will be difficult to clean up. If it is discovered, Yuan Hanyue will be caught on the spot. But there happen to be a few friends at the scene who can help, so Yuan Hanyue will almost certainly ask them for help."

"After taking Zhou Wen'an's body away from the unfinished building, they had to figure out a way to dispose of the body. For someone who is killing for the first time, disposing of the body is almost a common option."

"This person and Yuan Hanyue threw the body into the river together. Normally, at this point, they could rest easy. After all, without my dream, no one knows what happened in the unfinished building. In addition, since Zhou Wen'an's body cannot be found, no one will think that Yuan Hanyue killed Zhou Wen'an in a short time. Even if a missing person case is opened for investigation later, the clues will be cleared up, and Yuan Hanyue will not be found."

"But after the body was disposed of and everyone else left, this person turned back and retrieved the body again—only those who played a murder mystery game with the deceased and the murderer in the unfinished building and went to dispose of the body together would know where the body was thrown."

"This person may have been eyeing the bar that was about to open for some time, and may even know the schedules of the two young owners of the bar, including the layout of the bar, so that he could bring the body in without being discovered."

"Or perhaps he just wanted to pull the body out and put it anywhere, since leaving it on the street could scare people, but it would be easy to be discovered. So when he was choosing a location, he chose that bar."

Zheng Yan listened and nodded.

Listening to her reasoning and analysis is a very enjoyable experience, because she pays great attention to logic and loves to study details. Most of the time, the correct result comes out as she reasones and analyzes.

Zheng Yan felt that this time would be no exception.

"So, Zhou Qi is actually the least suspicious, because Yuan Hanyue has been with him the whole time. If what Yuan Hanyue said is true."

It's uncertain which of Yuan Hanyue's words are true and which are false. Even if she doesn't have schizophrenia or multiple personality disorder, her mental and psychological state isn't good.

It can be inferred that the secret they want to investigate, involving Zhou Wen'an and his group, is definitely something very interesting.

The focus now is on investigating those accomplices. Tan Jia asked Tan Ming about the results of yesterday's investigation.

Zheng Yan shook his head: "He said that three of them went into hiding last night and are looking for him everywhere. I don't think they'll be able to find him, as these people have plenty of money to hire lawyers. Only the short-haired girl doesn't know anything. After interrogation, we realized that Zhou Wen'an might have had an accident when he was in the unfinished building. She said that Yuan Hanyue and the others left her behind when they left the unfinished building, and she didn't see anything."

"But she said something that I found a bit strange."

"what?"

She said that she was actually introduced to Zhou Wen'an by Zhou Qi.

Tan Jia raised her eyebrows: "Zhou Qi likes Zhou Wen'an's girlfriend, Yuan Hanyue, so he specially found someone to seduce Zhou Wen'an into cheating, so that Yuan Hanyue would give up on him and be with him?"

"Who knows? But she also said that Yuan Hanyue doesn't actually like Zhou Wen'an at all."

Tan Jia's eyebrows shot up even higher: "What do you mean? You didn't like him, yet you were boyfriend and girlfriend for so many years, and you broke up and got back together with him so many times? Could it be that she was lying low by Zhou Wen'an's side for some purpose?"

Zheng Yan knew what she wanted to say: "To kill him and clean up the garbage in society? You didn't have to wait so many years. Didn't you just analyze that her killing of Zhou Wen'an was planned by another accomplice? Then her premeditation was not very strong."

"Why is that? Did Zhou Wen'an force you?"

"It's possible." Zheng Yan couldn't figure it out for the time being either.

After thinking it over, he called Tan Ming again, hoping there might be some new information.

The call connected, and before Tan Ming could even speak, the wailing of an ambulance came through the phone.

Zheng Yan's eyelids twitched: "What's going on? Why is there an ambulance?"

Tan Ming shouted, "Zhang Tai on the list! When I found him, he was lying in the living room covered in blood! Someone had a fierce fight with him!"

"Who?"

"It's unclear at the moment! He still has a faint breath; we don't know if he can be saved. I suspect there was some infighting among them; Yuan Hanyue must have said something to them!"

Tan Jia, who was eavesdropping, frowned strangely when he heard this.

What did Yuan Hanyue say that caused them to turn against each other and poison their own people?
