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

Chapter 383 I Miss My Dad Too
"Do you know Yu Yi?" Su Miaoyi asked Duan Zhixi.

Duan Zhixi wiped away her tears and shook her head.

Su Miaoyi looked at her.

Zhuang Yanzheng asked again, "Haven't you heard He Bin mention Yu Yi?"

Duan Zhixi shook her head again.

Su Miaoyi was silent for a moment, then remembered to ask, "Do you know who stays overnight at the villa?"

“The villa has many guest rooms. I told He Bin that since everyone had been drinking, they should stay and not go back, otherwise it would be too much of a hassle,” Duan Zhixi said. “I heard from that police officer surnamed Zheng that besides He Bin, there were two other women in the villa, both of whom came from Yunnan.”

"Yes," Su Miaoyi said.

Duan Zhixi wiped away her tears again and said, "So, only the two of them will be staying overnight?"

"That's how it looks right now."

Duan Zhixi lowered her gaze and said, "Although He Bin is a man, it might seem inconvenient for two women to stay overnight, but I trust He Bin's character. They are just classmates and good friends, nothing will happen. I didn't think of that, I didn't expect only two women to stay overnight. If I had known, I would have stayed that night."

"Who turned off the surveillance cameras in the villa?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"What?" Duan Zhixi asked.

“The surveillance cameras in the villa were turned off after 7 p.m. on Friday,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

"I don't know." Duan Zhixi shook her head. "I don't even know where to lock it. I haven't been to the villa area very often, so I don't know much about it."

Zhuang Yanzheng didn't ask any more questions.

Su Miaoyi had no further questions.

So the two people had their fingerprints and blood collected.

Duan Zhixi suddenly asked, "What do you mean?"

"What?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"First you said two women stayed overnight, then you said the villa's security cameras were off. Are you trying to tell me what shady things He Bin and the others did at their gathering?" Duan Zhixi suddenly became agitated.

“We’re just asking,” Su Miaoyi said. “We need to ask about anything that raises any questions.”

"Do you have any evidence? Do you have any evidence to prove that they have an improper relationship? If you don't have any evidence, what makes you say this? What makes you say this?!" Duan Zhixi suddenly stood up and shouted.

"Zhixi, calm down," her friend advised her.

Duan Zhixi shook off her friend's hand: "I know He Bin better than anyone! What right do you have to slander him like this! Is this how you solve cases?! When you can't find the murderer, you just throw mud at him!"

"We didn't say anything about him; we were just asking a normal question. This is a police station, please calm down!" Zhuang Yanzheng said sternly. "If you feel there's anything unreasonable about our questioning, you can file a complaint against me."

"What else do you want to say about him! The way you asked him is to imply that he was having an affair! He's not even here anymore, and you're still humiliating him like this?!" Duan Zhixi cried and shouted.

Just as Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng were about to speak, Duan Zhixi's friend suddenly shouted, "Calm down!"

"How can I calm down! How can I calm down!" Duan Zhixi cried. "Didn't you hear what they were saying about He Bin?!"

“I heard it. I heard everything. They didn’t say anything, they just questioned the parts that didn’t make sense. It’s all your own imagination! By making such a scene, do you believe He Bin or not?”

Duan Zhixi froze for a few seconds, then sat down in the chair and cried even louder.

Her friend took a deep breath, wiped away her tears, and looked at Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng: "I'm sorry, she's feeling bad, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

“We understand,” Su Miaoyi said. “You stay with her. If anything happens, just call us, or you can go back now.”

"I'm not leaving," Duan Zhixi said, crying.

"Let's sit here a little longer. It'll be easier if you remember to ask us anything."

"Ah."

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng left.

The two walked into the office area, and Zhuang Yanzheng asked, "What did you figure out?"

"I don't know." Su Miaoyi frowned. "I feel like something's not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on it. It's just weird." Zhuang Yanzheng nodded in agreement.

“I’ll go over and help check the surveillance footage,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Ah."

As Su Miaoyi passed by the window outside the office area, she saw Chu Xingrou making a phone call.

This should be the time when she told her family she wouldn't be going home that night.

Every time she worked overtime at the bureau, she would call her family from there.

It's usually called to her mother.

Because her father would sexually harass her.

"I'll go to Grandpa and Grandma's house when I'm done. Dad, I have to go now, I'll talk to you later." Chu Xingrou hung up the phone.

"Sister Miaomiao."

"I was checking the security footage and accidentally overheard your phone call. What? Did you call your uncle today?"

“No.” Chu Xingrou sighed. “It was for my mother to call, and he snatched it from her.”

Su Miaoyi looked at her with a smile.

"My dad asked me if I was working on flood control, and why I passed by my home without going in," Chu Xingrou said expressionlessly.

"Ok?"

“When we went to He Bin’s house, my dad was at my grandpa’s. He saw us from upstairs.” Chu Xingrou sighed again. “I guess he’d been holding that in for ages, just waiting for me to call my mom.”

“Uncle is so cute.” Su Miaoyi said, taking out her phone. “I miss my dad a little, I’ll bother him for a bit.”

Chu Xingrou smiled, then realized what she meant: "Sister Miaomiao, you..."

Su Miaoyi nodded.

Chu Xingrou gasped and covered her mouth. Had she just sent a message to Director Qin?

How scary, how scary.

Su Miaoyi bothered Qin Chengyuan by sending him a knocking emoji.

Half an hour later, Qin Chengyuan asked, "[What's wrong?]"
An hour later, Su Miaoyi replied: [My colleague was just talking about her dad, and I started missing my dad too. It's okay now, I've thought about him enough.]
Qin Chengyuan did not reply.

Su Miaoyi didn't pay much attention, as she kept watching the surveillance cameras around He Bin's villa.

Although the surveillance cameras at He Bin's villa were turned off, the surveillance cameras at the surrounding villas were copied back.

They watched the surveillance footage from the time the party ended early Saturday morning until they arrived at He Bin's house on Sunday.

The surveillance footage was divided into segments and shared among everyone.

He observed the passing vehicles and pedestrians.

However, after the designated driver left with four other people who had attended the party around 1 a.m. on Saturday, no one or any vehicle entered that street again.

Vehicles and pedestrians didn't start appearing until 7 a.m. on Saturday.

The vehicles and pedestrians captured on the surveillance footage are all residents of the vicinity.

We've asked all the residents near He Bin's villa, and they all have surveillance cameras installed in their yards, covering both the front and back yards without any blind spots.

Therefore, any person entering or leaving will be photographed.

No one from the nearby neighborhood went out at night.

Su Miaoyi stared at the monitor. After a while, her stomach growled twice; she hadn't eaten dinner yet.

She took out her phone to check the time, but saw a message from Qin Chengyuan: [I'm at the Municipal Public Security Bureau entrance. Come out for a bit if you have time.]
Su Miaoyi sat up straight. It was past nine o'clock at night, and the message had been sent for more than forty minutes.

She quickly got up and went to the door.
