Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 317 Can You Talk?

"It's Zhao Yongliang."

Su Miaoyi's gaze was still fixed on the black robe and mask hanging in the room. Upon hearing Duan Wenrui's words, she first glanced at Duan Wenrui, then looked around the room again: "Where is he?"

“When we arrived, Zhao Yongliang told me he felt a little dizzy, probably because his blood pressure was a bit high, so he stayed at the police station to rest,” Duan Wenrui said. “But when I went back to the person who provided the house purchase information, they said he wasn’t at the police station.”

Su Miaoyi remained silent and looked at the hanging black robe again.

“Call him,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Duan Wenrui called him.

Lu Zhishen and Chu Xingrou led their people to inspect the other areas.

Su Miaoyi suddenly remembered something and looked at Duan Wenrui again: "Is Tian Min still at the police station?"

Hearing her words, Zhuang Yanzheng suddenly realized what she meant.

Hearing the message "The number you dialed is currently switched off" coming from his phone, Duan Wenrui quickly called the person at the police station to ask about Tian Min.

"She's gone. They said Zhao Yongliang said he could release Tian Min, so he let her go, and Tian Min left on her own. We don't know when Zhao Yongliang left; I told them to check the surveillance footage at the police station entrance."

Su Miaoyi looked at Zhuang Yanzheng.

Zhuang Yanzheng and Duan Wenrui said, "Captain Duan, given the current situation, Zhao Yongliang has likely escaped. We haven't been out of the police station for long, so we need to send people to find Zhao Yongliang immediately. We also need to block off all intersections and check pedestrians."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away." Duan Wenrui quickly made the call to make the arrangements.

Zhuang Yanzheng spoke with Lu Zhishen and Chu Xingrou, instructing them to have the branch office personnel inspect the room.

“Let’s go to Tian Min’s house,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at Duan Wenrui, who was making arrangements on the phone, and pulled him along to head towards Tian Min's house.

When they arrived at the courtyard, he also picked up a police officer from the branch office and got into the car with him.

This isn't Jinghai; their people must be present when handling cases here.

Zhuang Yanzheng has encountered many things, big and small, over the years. Just in case, to avoid any trouble, so that things don't get complicated and he can't explain himself, he'll be criticized when he gets back.

When they arrived at Tian Min's house, only Yue Hong was home.

When they knocked and entered, Yue Hong was in the yard collecting laundry. As soon as she saw them, she said, "What are you doing here again? Trying to arrest me too? My family was killed, and now my family is being arrested! Are you trying to bully our family?! Everyone, come quick! Come see them!"

She called out as she walked out of the courtyard.

Su Miaoyi stopped her.

Duan Wenrui and Zhuang Yanzheng went directly into the house.

"You still want to hit me!" Yue Hong shouted.

Su Miaoyi frowned slightly and quickly spread her hands to indicate that she hadn't touched her at all: "Is Tian Min back?"

"Didn't you take her away?!" Yue Hong shouted again.

"Hasn't she come back?" Su Miaoyi looked into her eyes.

"Isn't it up to you whether she comes back or not? You took her away, how could she possibly run away?" Yue Hong shouted.

Zhuang Yanzheng and Duan Wenrui came out of the house and shook their heads at her together.

Su Miaoyi looked at Yue Hong and felt that she didn't seem to be lying.

"What do you mean? What do you mean? Your police station lost someone?!" Yue Hong shouted.

"Have you seen Tian Min today?" Duan Wenrui asked again.

"My daughter was perfectly fine when she went to your police station, how come she disappeared after spending the night there? What did you do? Give me back my daughter! Give me back my daughter!" Yue Hong grabbed Su Miaoyi's arm and questioned her.

"Let go!" Zhuang Yanzheng shouted.

"You lost my daughter! You owe me a daughter! You've lost a grown woman! This can't just end like this!" Yue Hong grabbed Su Miaoyi's arm and tried to pull her out. Su Miaoyi stopped her: "What do you plan to do?"

"Either let me see the person, or pay me back! Two hundred thousand!" Yue Hong shouted. "Otherwise, I'll sue you!"

"Suit yourself." Su Miaoyi shook off her hand and turned to leave. Yue Hong didn't care about Tian Min at all; she only wanted money.

Yue Hong was about to chase after her when Zhuang Yanzheng blocked her way.

"What are you doing?! Who are you? Do you want to hit me?" Yue Hong shouted.

Zhuang Yanzheng ignored her and left directly.

“Her home is similar to the one we visited last time,” Duan Wenrui said. “We went to Tian Min’s room and it doesn’t look like she’s been back.”

Su Miaoyi glanced at the time: "It will be dark in about three hours. It will be even harder to find people after dark."

“Up in the mountains,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“If you go up the mountain, it will be even harder to find,” Duan Wenrui said.

"Do you have a police station? What's the nearest one you can contact?" Su Miaoyi asked. "The more, the better."

“The police station should have it. I’ll have someone contact them again,” Duan Wenrui said.

"Tian Min and the others haven't been gone long. How well have they learned about the mountain these past few days?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked Su Miaoyi.

"almost."

"If you wanted to escape and go up the mountain, which place would you choose?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“There’s a lot of corn on the east side, and it’s hard to find once you’re inside. Besides, if we keep running south, we’ll end up in the forest, and very few people go there,” Su Miaoyi thought. “It’s a natural barrier, and they’re more familiar with this place. Even if they know we’ll figure out their escape route, they won’t give up. As long as they’re fast, they’re confident they can escape.”

"Let's go." Zhuang Yanzheng patted Duan Wenrui on the shoulder. "Get some men to go up the mountain."

“We need to come down before dark,” Duan Wenrui said. “Firstly, it’s too dangerous after dark, and secondly, patrols need manpower. Whether it’s Tian Min or the other murderer we haven’t found, they are very likely to return to the village at night. The safety of the villagers comes first.”

"it is good."

There are fruit trees on the mountain to the east, but a lot of corn is also planted there.

This family has a small patch, that family has a small patch, and the plants grow tall this season, making it difficult to find anyone once you've squeezed in.

Zhao Yongliang grabbed Tian Min's arm and led her up the mountain, intending to go into the cornfield.

He dragged Tian Min all the way from the foot of the mountain to the top.

She shook off his hand: "What are you doing!"

Zhao Yongliang looked at her: "You can talk?"

Tian Min twisted her wrist, ignored him, and turned to walk back.

"Where are you going?" Zhao Yongliang tried to pull her away again.

Tian Min dodged to the side: "Of course I'm going back. Why would I run away when I'm innocent?"

"You're completely innocent? You've been pretending for so long that you've even started to believe it yourself, haven't you?" Zhao Yongliang said.

“What am I pretending for? I’ve always been innocent,” Tian Min said.

Zhao Yongliang felt that she had completely changed into a different person.

He had seen her a few times before, but had never heard her speak, so he thought she really couldn't talk.

Moreover, when she was with that man named Twenty-One, she always kept her head down and never looked at him.

"You're innocent? Are you really innocent? What's your relationship with him? He killed someone, how can you escape responsibility?" Zhao Yongliang said.
