Eyes that are the same as those of evil

Chapter 240 Confess to Me 13
Who could be standing outside the story, wanting Yuan Hanyue and her group to kill each other?

Did this person orchestrate Yuan Hanyue's killing of Zhou Wen'an?
Does he/she hate these people because they collectively did something to hurt him/her?

The truth from underwater seemed to have risen a few centimeters; they reached in and were almost there.

The criminal investigation team is busy again.

While they were conducting their intensive investigation, Zhou Wen'an's autopsy was completed, and his parents were officially notified of his death.

Zhou Wen'an is an only child. His parents received the news yesterday and are now rushing back from another province.

Before meeting them, Lao Li and Zheng Yan both thought that they would be very sad and angry, and their emotions would be very agitated. They had already thought about how to comfort them.

But when they arrived at the police station, they found a silent couple.

Upon seeing Zhou Wen'an's horribly disfigured face, the couple turned around, pale-faced, and asked emotionally who had done it.

They didn't seem to find Zhou Wen'an's murder unbelievable; they only felt that the method was too cruel.

Zheng Yan sensed the subtlety in the situation and took the person aside to inquire.

"Zhou Wen'an was involved in the incident the night before last when he went to play a live-action murder mystery game at an unfinished building with a group of friends. There were six people present at the time: Yuan Hanyue, Zhou Qi, Zhang Tai, Zhao Shasha, Wu Feifan, and Ou Zhibin. We suspect that the murderer is among these six people. Do you have any suspects?"

They said they didn't know.

Zhou Wen'an's father said curtly, "He just likes hanging out with those shady friends. We don't know all of them. But with Zhou Qi around, why did this happen? Didn't Zhou Qi say anything?"

Zheng Yan's eyes were deep: "Zhou Qi? He does have a suspect, saying it was Zhou Wen'an's girlfriend who did it. Do you know anything about Yuan Hanyue?"

The couple frowned: "We don't know much about them. We only know that they've been dating for a long time, and they've had their share of arguments but haven't completely broken up. We see each other very rarely."

"Really? Zhou Wen'an was your only son. Why do you seem to care so little about him? You don't know much about his girlfriend of many years, nor do you know much about his cronies. And you don't seem shocked by his murder."

To put it bluntly, they seemed to think Zhou Wen'an would be killed sooner or later, but they didn't expect the method to be so cruel.

It's unclear which remark touched a nerve, but Zhou Wen'an's mother pursed her lips and slightly shifted her gaze to the side, while Zhou Wen'an's father's eye twitched violently.

Tan Jia listened through the crack in the office door, kneading dough as she thought, "It seems Zhou Wen'an is really no good. The things he's done make even my parents think he'll get his comeuppance sooner or later."

Considering the deep love parents have for their only son, it's likely that Zhou Wen'an not only harmed outsiders, but they themselves may have also been harmed.

Thinking about it again, the thing the mastermind wants to reveal is most likely the sins committed by Zhou Wen'an and Yuan Hanyue's group in the past.

Moreover, judging from Yuan Hanyue's anxious state and sudden change in expression, it can be inferred that the matter was very serious, and that she knew that person would come looking for them.

But one thing is strange. If they had done a lot of bad things with Zhou Wen'an, how could Yuan Hanyue immediately think of a specific person?

Why did that person only take revenge recently? Was it because the heinous crime happened recently?
It didn't seem so. The victims' revenge was either an immediate counterattack or something that would lie dormant for a while before taking place. Outside, Zheng Yan was still asking questions.

“Besides Zhou Wen’an, Zhang Tai is also on the verge of death. We suspect someone is retaliating against them, and Zhou Qi might be next. Please tell us about Zhou Wen’an’s past, especially what he did with Zhou Qi.”

However, the couple had already composed themselves and did not give a direct answer. They just kept shouting that they would find the murderer and hire the best lawyer to sentence him to death.

Zheng Yan's face was serious: "If you don't talk, how can we find the murderer quickly? Are we supposed to wait until he's killed everyone and is attacking you before we talk? Don't think this is intimidation. The mastermind behind this murder dared to expose the bodies, so he probably didn't even think he could survive. Do you think someone who's willing to risk his life for revenge still has any sense?!"

Zhou Wen'an's parents avoided the topic.

"The murderer wanted to take revenge on them all, so we don't know what they did together, but we still have Zhou Qi. Bring Zhou Qi over and let him talk!"

"Do you think he'll talk? You're still helping Zhou Wen'an maintain his reputation after death, while Zhou Qi is still alive and kicking. Do you think he'll admit to doing anything illegal or criminal? To be honest, Zhou Qi might have played a part in killing Zhou Wen'an. You can think about just how serious their crime was to make him turn against his own people!"

Hiding things that shouldn't be hidden only adds unnecessary trouble to the investigation.

The part of the job that involves communicating with people is always the most mentally exhausting. Just listening to it makes Tan Jia feel a surge of irritation and makes her want to grab them by the collar and yell, "Idiots, hurry up and explain yourselves!"

Unfortunately, violent interrogation was not an option, so she could only press hard with her thumb, flattening the dough figurine of Zhou Wen'an's face into a pancake.

Not knowing what the couple said again, Zheng Yan turned and walked to his office, where he called someone to bring Zhou Qi in for a second questioning.

He was not interrogated as a suspect, but rather as an informant and the deceased's brother, cooperating with the investigation.

As long as Zhou Qi wanted to keep up the act, he wouldn't refuse, much less run away. But when Xiao Chen led the team to "invite" someone, Zhou Qi disappeared.

According to eyewitnesses, Yuan Hanyue came to the door and had a heated argument with Zhou Qi. Then Zhou Qi pulled her into his car, and then the two of them disappeared.

"I heard that Yuan Hanyue was in a very bad state at the time. She was shouting and yelling, and she mentioned her mother in her words. It seemed like she was blaming Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi also reacted strongly, covering her mouth and dragging her away. They didn't care that it was a public place with many people around."

Zheng Yan asked, "You mentioned her mother? Something happened to Yuan Hanyue's mother?"

"We are investigating; it's highly likely she's missing."

“Missing…” Tan Jia pondered, “Her mother is missing, so why would her first reaction be to confront Zhou Qi?”

“They are accomplices. If there were traitors, it would be understandable for them to kill each other. But Yuan Hanyue, as the main force in killing Zhou Wen’an, is the least likely person to be a traitor. Why does she think Zhou Qi would harm her mother? If her guess is correct, then why would Zhou Qi harm her mother, or threaten her by dealing with her mother?”

Zheng Yan slowly said, "Yuan Hanyue's identity is very different in this gang that has done bad things in the past."

What roles can a person play in a criminal case?
Murderer, accomplice, victim, witness.

Which character is Yuan Hanyue?

Or, besides being an accomplice, what other role could she possibly play?
