Chapter 70 Sclater’s Nuts
evening.
The rain only subsided a little, and Liu Wenkai drove on the road.
For further verification, just leave it to the criminal policeman behind. As a forward like him, as long as he finds a direction, he will rush forward first.
The fine raindrops, driven by the wind, were like streams of urine hitting the windshield, making the vision clear and blurry at times.
Fortunately, there were very few cars on the road. Liu Wenkai held back his energy and focused on driving. He arrived at his destination much faster than the navigation system.
The destination is a hot pot restaurant with two floors used for operations. There were many cars parked in the parking lot downstairs, and many people wanted to have a meal despite the wind and rain.
Before getting off the car, Liu Wenkai said to the other three people in the car: "Our target is Zhou Lei's girlfriend Wang Na. She is now the main suspect, but we will focus on questioning first. Pay attention to the people who appear next to Wang Na. Male. If Wang Na is the murderer, we must consider that she has accomplices. There are very few women who plan and execute murders alone. In addition, abandoning corpses also requires physical strength and equipment."
The co-pilot was veteran detective Zhang Enze, who said: "Everyone is also paying attention to the equipment in the kitchen to see if there is anything that can be used to dismember the body. The upper body of the body has not been found yet."
"Well, be careful when slicing or dicing." Liu Wenkai added.
"Your last sentence made people's hair stand on end." Zhang Enze said with disdain: "It's just to protect the scene and be more decisive in arresting people. Hey, we are still a little short of manpower. How about guarding the door on both sides? .”
"That's it for today. No one can come to the team. The highway is closed. Here in Qinghe City, even if you ask people to come out, they won't come." Liu Wenkai can actually wait until tomorrow, because the corpses are floating around. He had been there for several days, but the murderer had not escaped before, and there was no reason for him to escape today. "
However, after working on serious cases for so many years, Liu Wenkai knew that many times, the right thing is often just right.
Moreover, there is no such thing as weather. The current weather conditions look bad, but it's just that reinforcements can't come. It's no problem for a few people to carry out the mission, and the basic conditions can be met.
If we wait until tomorrow, who knows if the weather conditions will get worse. If there is a heavy rainstorm worse than today, even arresting him will be difficult.
For the same reason, the weather conditions outside were too uncertain. Therefore, he was unwilling to stay and decided to arrest people in a hot pot restaurant where the situation was complicated.
Of course, another main reason is that today is not a definite arrest operation, but an investigation operation based on questioning.
Liu Wenkai just prevented the questioning from turning into an arrest. Still, in this kind of weather, it would be difficult to catch someone if they run away.
The four people directly pretended to be customers and sat down in the hot pot restaurant. Then, Liu Wenkai did not order any food. He only said that he was waiting for someone. After tricking the waiter, he whispered: "Wang Na is at the front desk, the cashier by the door. I will go to the manager now and ask him to arrange a room for us, and then call Wang Na to come over, Xiao Zhao, follow me."
Liu Wenkai said that he went to find the manager through the waiter, and then waited with Xiao Zhao in the lounge in the back passage.
Zhang Enze and another detective were sitting in a private seat more than ten meters away. There was a fake vine partition between them and the front desk. They could also see the scene in the kitchen, and the view was quite good.
After waiting for a long time, Wang Na got up and went to the back passage.
Zhang Enze and another criminal police officer quickly followed.
Several people successfully sent Wang Na into the passage, closed the door, and blocked her in the small material room.
"Tell me, what's your relationship with Zhou Lei?" Liu Wenkai's eyes flickered.
For a young girl in her early twenties like this, no matter how many times she had played escape rooms or scripted killing games, Liu Wenkai was confident that he could examine them clearly and let her see and experience. She had once looked directly into the deep darkness. How humans expose lies.
"Zhou Lei is my ex-boyfriend." Wang Na frowned and said, "The red envelope he gave me was voluntarily given to me. It's so shameless to call the police after we broke up."
Liu Wenkai also frowned, this was a bit of a pretense.
Zhang Enze asked: "When was the last time you saw Zhou Lei?"
"What's the matter?"
"If the police ask you questions, answer them well. If you don't want to say it here, we will go to the police station and say it." Liu Wenkai came to his senses and used the line of pressuring questioning again.
Wang Na looked around and saw that no colleague could help, so she said: "It must have been more than a week, I can't remember clearly."
"Where did we meet?"
"In the store, he came to see me. I told him to leave my mother-in-law alone after we broke up and let him go."
"Is there a conflict?"
"No. What happened?"
Liu Wenkai looked at Wang Na's expression and decided to make a big decision. He said directly: "Zhou Lei is dead, don't you know?"
"Dead?" Wang Na showed a surprised expression: "Really dead?"
Liu Wenkai frowned again: "What do you mean by really dead?"
"It's... it's..." Wang Na hesitated for a few seconds and said: "Just two days ago, Zhou Lei posted a message saying that he was going to die. I thought it was quite disgusting. It felt like he would just cry, make trouble, and hang himself. That kind of thing, I'll block him..."
"What did you say? Show me." Liu Wenkai urged.
Wang Na hesitantly took out her phone, found the blacklist list in her WeChat address book, and selected Zhou Lei's avatar, a squirrel from the Ice Age.
A line of text appeared in front of everyone:
I can't hold on any longer. For me, life was originally very cruel, but now, it has become even more colorless. I used to believe that everything would get better. You were once a rainbow in my life, but now, you are no longer. If I leave, no one will know about it. It's like Scrat got it nuts, there's no point anymore.
Liu Wenkai and Zhang Enze looked at each other and became silent.
This WeChat message can be said to be a standard last message, and from the perspective of a criminal police officer, Wang Na's performance did not look like she was lying.
"What does it mean that Scrat got his nut?" Zhang Enze asked.
"It's just that... Scrat is the squirrel in Ice Age. Ice Age is a Hollywood cartoon. The squirrel keeps chasing nuts but can't catch them." Wang Na realized the seriousness of the matter and became cautious. .
Liu Wenkai was a little angry and said: "I have sent you this kind of message, which is equivalent to a farewell letter, and you still block people?"
"I...I never thought he would commit suicide. I thought he learned the tricks from somewhere. He usually seems to be a very cheerful person..." Wang Na whispered: "If I had known earlier, I would definitely Please advise him well."
Liu Wenkai sighed heavily, thinking that he had watched Deep Darkness again, then took out his notebook again, and said slowly: "How is the relationship between his parents and him? Have you met him? Does Zhou Lei have any relatives?"
Even if there is a farewell letter, it cannot completely prove that Zhou Lei committed suicide. There is still the problem of dismemberment to be solved.
Wang Na whispered: "I have never met his parents, but I heard that they divorced a long time ago and started their own families. Zhou Lei doesn't go back during holidays. He was brought up by his grandma. He passed away years ago.”
This adds new evidence to the suicide case. Zhang Enze shook his head secretly and asked: "Have you ever talked about places that are commemorative? Especially the ones along the Taihe River?"
Wang Na thought about it for a moment and said, "He really likes the Traveler Bridge over there. He said he wanted to buy a house there before."
