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

Chapter 379: Both Murderer and Victim

“There’s a chainsaw and a machete in the basement, as well as a set of knives.” Lu Zhishen stood at the top of the stairs on the third floor and did not go any further. “I just sprayed the occult blood blue light reagent. It has a blue light and there’s some cleaned blood on it. I’ve already collected it. We can go back and test it and compare it with Guan Zhou’s.”

“Okay,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “There are corpses both upstairs and downstairs.”

“I heard you shouting in the basement,” Lu Zhishen said. “Also, the security cameras in the villa are all turned off.”

"When was it closed?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“The surveillance footage from around 7 p.m. the day before yesterday, up to 7 p.m., is available,” Lu Zhishen said. “I quickly played through the daytime footage from the day before yesterday, and it captured a man and a woman in the villa. They were probably a couple.”

The three of them walked to the top of the stairs.

Lu Zhishen showed them a photo of a man and a woman taken from the surveillance room.

“This man lives in the master bedroom on the second floor,” Chu Xingrou said. “Who is this woman? She doesn’t live on the third or fourth floor.”

“The people she saw at the gathering weren’t just three; there were others too, so they must have left,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Those who attended the party are highly suspicious,” Lu Zhishen said. “I’ll go upstairs to check the rooms.”

"it is good."

Zhuang Yanzheng sent the woman from the surveillance footage to Qi Feng and asked him to investigate.

Su Miaoyi did not see anything on the three corpses.

While the four people waited for Yan Cheng to arrive with his men, they collected fingerprints, footprints, sweat, blood, hair, and other samples from the villa.

The food and drinks from the gathering must be taken back for testing.

Qi Feng found the homeowner's information and sent it to Zhuang Yanzheng.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the photo and then went to the master bedroom on the second floor to compare it.

It can be confirmed that the man in the master bedroom on the second floor is the homeowner.

He Bin, male, 33 years old, is from Dian City.

He Bin attended university in Jinghai and has been working there ever since.

The information did not specify what job he did.

Three years ago, his parents bought him this villa in Jinghai.

Judging from He Bin's account, he is probably unemployed and has been spending his family's money.

“He’s a spoiled brat,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Su Miaoyi also looked at his information: "His family is rich, he has a household registration in Jinghai, and he owns such a big villa in this location. His family must be rich. He can spend his family's money."

"Tsk," Zhuang Yanzheng said, "No ambition."

Su Miaoyi looked at him.

Zhuang Yanzheng continued reading: "He is from the same school as Guan Zhou and Yu Yi, in the same grade, but not in the same class."

"It seems we need to investigate the cause of Yu Yi's death," Chu Xingrou said.

“His parents are still in Dian City,” Su Miaoyi said.

"We've already contacted Qi Feng."

“We didn’t find any cell phones here, not a single one,” Su Miaoyi said.

"It was taken by the murderer again?" Zhuang Yanzheng said. A while later, Qi Feng called again.

"Captain Zhuang, we've found the woman's information from the surveillance footage," Qi Feng said. "Her name is Duan Zhixi, she's from Qin City, 33 years old, and works in Jinghai. We've found her address, and Brother Zheng has already taken some people to find her."

"Ah."

“We’ve also contacted Pei Rong in Qin City,” Qi Feng said. “He said it’s the weekend, so his phone is off and he’s resting. We asked him about Guan Zhou and Yu Yi, and we also asked him about He Bin, whom we just found out about.”

"How did he say?"

"When I told him that Guan Zhou had died, he was silent for a long time. When he spoke again, his voice was trembling and his words were somewhat incoherent," Qi Feng said. "He said that he and Guan Zhou had been good friends since high school and had kept in touch after they went to university and started working. He was very sad to hear that he had suddenly died."

Where is Yu Yi?

Pei Rong said that Yu Yi was also their classmate. Yu Yi was a good student in high school and was also very beautiful. Many people in the school knew her. However, his relationship with Yu Yi was just that of classmates. He hadn't seen her since graduating from high school.

"When I messaged Guan Zhou to tell him that Yu Yi had committed suicide by jumping off a building, he felt very sorry and shocked, so he told Guan Zhou. He didn't mean anything else by it," Qi Feng said.

Zhuang Yanzheng paused for a moment.

That makes sense.

I told my classmates about the recent situations of other classmates.

The strange thing is that Ai Lan said Guan Zhou seemed a little scared when he heard the news.

"What about He Bin?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Pei Rong said that he and He Bin met in high school. He Bin's family is wealthy and he is very generous. They often played ball together, and He Bin often treated them, so they always had a good relationship. After they started working, Guan Zhou and He Bin were both in Jinghai, and they have always kept in touch."

“They have a group chat with nine people, both men and women, who are all close friends and have kept in touch over the years. Pei Rong said that a week ago, He Bin suddenly announced in the group chat that he was getting engaged. He wanted to get together with everyone before the engagement to introduce his fiancée to them.”

"The gathering was set at He Bin's villa. He said there was space in the villa for the gathering, and people from out of town could stay overnight after the gathering. The gathering was scheduled for the day before yesterday. Pei Rong said he was working overtime and didn't have time, so he couldn't come."

"Team Leader Zhuang, I've sent the list of attendees at the party that Pei Rong provided to your phone. He said they had a party the night before last and took a group photo which they posted in the group chat."

“Okay,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Pei Rong’s fingerprints and DNA need to be tested.”

"Okay," Qi Feng replied.

"Has Pei Rong contacted Guan Zhou recently? He Bin said a week ago that Guan Zhou had already been murdered when the gathering took place. Guan Zhou hasn't been speaking in the group chat, has no one contacted him?"

“Pei Rong said he tried to contact him, but couldn’t,” Qi Feng said. “He said Guan Zhou’s work is very special, and there are often times when he can’t be reached, and sometimes he doesn’t reply to a message for several days, so he didn’t pay much attention. Pei Rong also said that because Guan Zhou hadn’t been talking in the group, they teased the busy man a bit. Then He Bin said that he had already contacted Guan Zhou, and that Guan Zhou was busy and wouldn’t be attending the gathering.”

"He Bin said he got in touch?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked. "Did he contact him beforehand, or did he contact him a week ago after we talked about the gathering?"

“Pei Rong said he must have said he would contact me after the gathering,” Qi Feng said.

"Okay, I see."

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the photos Qi Feng had sent, along with the annotations on them.

Then I glanced again at the master bedroom on the second floor.

Guan Zhou was murdered a week ago.

He Bin contacted Guan Zhou? Who did he contact? Was he contacting a ghost?
In that case, He Bin is the murderer of Guan Zhou?

The presence of machetes and chainsaws in the basement further proves this point.

Therefore, Su Miaoyi saw it from He Bin's perspective.

Because she is both the murderer and the victim, Su Miaoyi keeps seeing things through He Bin's perspective.
