Chapter 391 Something’s not right
It was almost time to get off work, so Zhuang Yanzheng asked a few people to go to Duan Zhixi's apartment complex and then to the building across the street to ask the people getting off work if they had seen anything last Friday night.

Just as everything was arranged, Brother Zheng came over: "We found Duan Zhixi."

"Where?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"We found it at the highway toll station," Zheng said. "It's already heading towards the municipal bureau; it should be there in about twenty minutes."

"Where does she want to go?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

“She drove to Qinhuangdao and just came back,” Zheng Ge said. “She said she was in a bad mood and drove out this morning. She drove aimlessly and unknowingly ended up in Qinhuangdao. She drove around Qinhuangdao for a while, then felt that there must be a lot of things to deal with in Jinghai, so she came back immediately. Let’s check her dashcam footage. She said her phone was out of battery and turned off, and she hadn’t checked it all day and didn’t know it was out of battery.”

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.

"Could she be going to Qin City to kill Pei Rong?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“If that’s the case, then Pei Rong really got a second chance at life,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Brother Zheng looked at the two of them: "Did you see Duan Zhixi commit murder?"

"Yes."

"It's really her."

Zhuang Yanzheng told Duan Zhixi about what he had discovered at Duan Zhixi's house.

After a moment of silence, Zheng Ge said, "Then why did she kill He Bin and the others? Was it because He Bin cheated on her? But what we've found out so far is that He Bin had a relationship with the woman on the third-floor balcony, but we haven't found anything with the woman in the master bedroom on the fourth floor. Why did she kill them all?"

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng both fell silent for a moment.

The motive for the murder is not very clear.

"There's more," Brother Zheng said. "We suspect this case is related to Yu Yi's death. If it's about avenging Yu Yi, then Duan Zhixi and Yu Yi had no connection whatsoever. According to our investigation, they had no relationship whatsoever."

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng remained silent.

"Moreover, we didn't find any flaws in Duan Zhixi last night. She managed to fool us completely. With such a capable person, it will be very difficult for us to interrogate her without any evidence."

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng were both looking at him.

"What's wrong?" Brother Zheng asked.

Su Miaoyi patted Zhuang Yanzheng on the shoulder and said, "Captain Zhuang, I feel uneasy about what you've heard. I'm going back to sleep now. You can ask him yourself when he arrives."

“I’m not feeling well either, let’s go back together,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Brother Zheng is experienced, he’ll definitely be able to manage.”

Brother Zheng looked at the two of them expressionlessly.

The two of them patted his shoulders on the left and right, and then walked forward.

Brother Zheng grabbed the two men's arms: "Believe it or not, I'll report you two to the higher-ups."

"What are you doing? Are you fighting?" Yan Cheng came over and saw the three of them holding hands.

“Brother Zheng insisted on taking me and Team Leader Zhuang to his house to try his wife’s cooking. We were afraid of troubling her, but he insisted on taking us,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng immediately replied, "Yes, that's right."

Yan Cheng looked at Brother Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, you only invited the two of them and not me? We've known each other for so many years, isn't that a bit unfair?"

"Me!" Brother Zheng looked at Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng, the two culprits. "Fine, after the case is over, come to my house for dinner. Anyway, my wife's cooking is like poison. Anyone who dares not to eat will not be allowed to leave my house."

“I’m going to tell my sister-in-law that you’re complaining about her cooking,” Su Miaoyi said.

Brother Zheng looked at her and said, "You...you..."

Zhuang Yanzheng and Yan Cheng looked at Brother Zheng together: "It's been a long time since Brother Zheng was humiliated like this."

Yan Cheng smiled. "Is the autopsy all done?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.

"Hmm." Yan Cheng had spent almost the entire day and night at the forensic center. He hadn't had time to participate in the discussions about the three corpses and the body parts in the river; he had just been constantly sending them reports. "I checked the composition of the drugs in their stomachs again. It was a fast-acting sleeping pill. It would take effect in about three minutes."

"It will take effect in three minutes," Zhuang Yanzheng said.

“Yes,” Yan Cheng said, “the dosage of the medicine is very large.”

“I saw Duan Zhixi give He Bin and the woman on the third floor three pieces each,” Su Miaoyi said.

"Did you see it?" Yan Cheng asked.

"Yes."

“Three tablets is considered a large dose. Usually, half a tablet is enough to sleep soundly. Moreover, this drug is strictly controlled and cannot be bought in pharmacies. It is also quite controversial, and it is not recommended to use this drug. In very special circumstances, if a doctor prescribes it, he may prescribe a maximum of two tablets,” Yan Cheng said. “Of course, some clinics may have some ways to obtain these drugs, and they sell larger doses. Clinics can get them, and some people with connections can also get them.”

“There must have been at least nine pills in Duan Zhixi’s hand.” Zhuang Yanzheng looked at Su Miaoyi. “You didn’t see Duan Zhixi administer the medication in the fourth-floor guest room, but drugs were found in all three bodies, so all three must have taken them.”

“The hospital can only prescribe two pills at most, but she has nine. Did she get the medicine from the hospital and save it up without taking it?” Brother Zheng said.

Yan Cheng remained silent.

“It might be more than nine pills,” Su Miaoyi said. “Duan Zhixi told them it was hangover medicine and took a bottle. When she poured it out, the bottle was gushing.”

"Obtained through illegal means?" Brother Zheng said.

Yan Cheng remained silent for a while, then took out his phone, found the test results, and looked at the data from the three reports: "The woman in the fourth-floor room took the medication earlier."

He calculated the numbers in his head: "It might be more than ten minutes earlier."

When the test results came out, he was in the autopsy room. His assistant handed them to him, and he glanced at them briefly, not paying much attention to the values. He looked directly at the results and confirmed the drug composition.

I only noticed the problem when those numbers suddenly flashed through my mind again.

"Hmm?" Su Miaoyi asked in confusion. "But what I saw was that Duan Zhixi gave the medicine to He Bin and the woman on the third-floor balcony first, and then said that she would go upstairs to deliver the medicine to the woman on the fourth floor."

“You didn’t see the woman on the fourth floor take her medicine,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “It’s very likely that when Duan Zhixi got to the fourth floor, he found that the woman was not very conscious, so he took her directly to the bathroom and put her in the bathtub.”

“Indeed.” Su Miaoyi nodded.

"How did that woman take the medicine? Did she take it as a hangover cure, or did she take it without knowing it?" Brother Zheng said. "Could it be that He Bin gave it to her? Is the medicine He Bin's? Why would he give her this kind of medicine?"

After he finished speaking, the group fell silent, and no one spoke.

After a while, Brother Zheng said, "When will the scum of this world disappear?"

Su Miaoyi also sighed, and then walked out.

"Where are you going?" Brother Zheng asked.

"Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere," Su Miaoyi said. "I wanted to drink some water before I went to Duan Zhixi's place, but I got busy and forgot."

“I’m worried you’ll tell my wife,” Zheng said.

Su Miaoyi looked at him and said, "Brother Zheng, actually I don't have your wife's contact information anymore."

Zheng Qi realized what was happening: "You can forget about getting her contact information."

Su Miaoyi: "."

Is this another way of blocking someone?
