Chapter 266: An Unexpected Discovery (Part 2)

Captain Wang nodded, “According to the forensic analysis, Li Jiahang died from a fall that caused massive intracranial hemorrhage.”

Deputy Mayor Gao nodded, “Then let’s close the case.”

Captain Wang shook his head, “There’s another point that puzzles me. In all my years as a detective, I’ve never seen a criminal suspect so readily admit to committing murder. Even those who cause accidental harm try to argue their way out of it. But this Liu Zhiqiang, from the moment he was brought in on the night of the crime, insisted that he did everything and that it had nothing to do with anyone else. However, I think there are doubts, he never mentioned his daughter, which, from the perspective of criminal psychology, is subconscious protection. So, I think we need to interrogate his daughter again, maybe after she’s discharged from the hospital?”

Zhao Qingfeng was startled, suddenly standing up, “Captain Wang, who did you say died?”

Li Jiahang was fine just a few days ago, how could he suddenly be dead?

Zhao Qingfeng’s mind immediately went to Liu Ruoxin.

Could it be that he had inadvertently caused Liu Ruoxin to be too harsh, leading the father and daughter to dispose of this ‘useless trash’, resulting in his death?

But according to their nature, harming someone was always done from behind!

Zhao Qingfeng immediately asked to review the case files.

Captain Wang couldn’t provide them, but fortunately, Gao Hu approved it.

The file showed that only Liu Zhiqiang was suspected of accidentally causing Li Jiahang’s death.

Liu Ruoxin’s name did not appear anywhere in the records, which was clearly abnormal!

“…”

“Student Zhao, what’s wrong, do you have a lead?”

“…”

“If you do, just tell me directly, I also think there’s something fishy here. Liu Zhiqiang confessed too quickly.”

“I don’t know, I’ll tell you if I find out.”

“Alright, Mayor, I’ll get back to my work, you two keep talking.”

Captain Wang left.

Zhao Qingfeng, restless, gave a few more instructions before also excusing himself.

He didn’t return to school but went to his company instead.

He inquired with Marina whether the trial camera area included the location of the incident involving Liu Zhiqiang and Li Jiahang at the Papa’s Western Restaurant on Chongqing Road.

“No.”

Marina searched for a while.

“Alright…”

Zhao Qingfeng believed this matter definitely involved Liu Ruoxin, but unfortunately, there was no evidence, otherwise, it would have been a good opportunity for revenge.

“Wait!”

Marina, after looking for a while longer, suddenly discovered something, “Boss Zhao, the position of this camera might include the area, but it’s a bit far, not very clear.”

The video showed a rainy night, about a hundred meters away from the camera, on a blurry rooftop.

It seemed like Li Jiahang was struggling with someone, swaying back and forth, before being kicked off the fourth-floor rooftop, landing headfirst.

The identity of the person who kicked him was very blurry.

But.

On the rooftop, there wasn’t just Liu Zhiqiang; there was also a figure in a white dress who, after Li Jiahang fell, clearly got scared, then sat down on the ground, and was forcefully taken by Liu Zhiqiang to another side out of view, disappearing.

After Liu Zhiqiang went downstairs to check the body and call the police.

Only he and Li Jiahang’s dead body were left at the scene, and the woman in the white dress was never seen again.

“Liu Ruoxin! It must be her!”

Zhao Qingfeng narrowed his eyes, “Li Zhi, Little Wen, come here, I need your help with something!”
