Chapter 55
"The previous plan was completely messed up. Now there are more than a dozen police officers in the bureau waiting for me to arrange work. If it weren't for this, I would definitely not go now."

"I understand." She interrupted him again. "Go quickly, you don't need to tell me so much."

Chu Wuzheng was annoyed. "Do you have to talk like that?"

He didn't hear her answer, so he lost his patience and walked away without even turning his head this time.

Shen Shiyu didn't call him either.

Walking to the door, the mood from the back was gloomy.

Chu Wuzheng stepped out, and the door was pushed away by his backhand. Just when Shen Shiyu thought that there was going to be a loud enough noise to make people jump in the night, he blocked the edge of the door with a palm.

Then, the lock was closed, quietly.

...how did she forget?He doesn't slam the door.

In the empty room, Shen Shiyu stood in place for a long time.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

At this time, the lights in the villa are still on.

The surrounding bushes are overgrown, and the weeds with their teeth and claws are silhouetted by the afterglow of the window. From a distance, it looks like a medieval oil painting.

Open windows disrupt the silhouette, and the cold winter wind alters the form of the painting.

"Is this better?"

In the house, someone asked questions.

In front of a lamp, the man's exquisite face was clearly illuminated, and the little powder on it could be seen in full view.

"Very well, thanks," he said.

The man sitting opposite smiled, picked up the notebook in his hand, and the pen on his fingertips lightly brushed the cuff buttons that had just been rolled up, making a soft sound.

"Excuse me, who is the protagonist of the story you want to tell today?" he asked.

"Me, and my brother," he replied.

"How is your relationship with your brother?" he asked.

"Not good." He replied.

"You hate him?" he asked.

"Yes." he replied.

"Your parents have favored him since childhood, right?" he asked.

"Yes." he replied.

"But he's been nice to you, isn't he?" he asked.

"He is nice to me because..."

"No, what do I ask, what do you answer," he said. "He's been nice to you, isn't he?"

"Yes." he replied.

"He is nice to you because of his parents, isn't it?" he asked.

"Yes." he replied.

"What did your brother do to you after your parents died?" he asked.

"He forced me to choose a major in college that I didn't like, and threatened me to give him money," he replied.

"How did he blackmail you?" he asked.

"I said that if the media exposes my plastic surgery, it will ruin my career." He replied.

"If you could go back to the beginning, what would you do?" he asked.

"I want to choose my major and do what I like," he replied.

"What do you want to do with your brother?" he asked.

"Kill him," he replied.

"okay, thank you."

The man smiled and put the pen and notebook on the table, ending the conversation.

When Chu Wuzheng arrived at the police station, Big Face and Xiang Hang were eating supper in the office, and Sang Jie was with them.

"Why are you here again?" Chu Wuzheng asked.

Sang Jie was very dissatisfied with his attitude, she pouted and rolled her eyes.

Chu Wuzheng took out instant noodles from the box and made himself a bowl of instant noodles, pouring hot water while talking to Big Face and Xiang Hang. "Don't you think it's messy enough, why bring her in?"

"Captain Chu, it was Ms. Sang who said she had a clue and wanted to report it to you. If we don't let her come and delay the case, wouldn't it be adding trouble to you?" he said with a big smile.

Chu Wuzheng gritted his teeth and gave Big Face an ear spoon.

"What clue do you have?" Chu Wuzheng asked.

Sang Jie was still angry because of what he said just now, and ignored him with a proud face.

"If you have nothing to say, go out now, I'm busy, I don't have time to tease you!"

As soon as Chu Wuzheng put the noodle bucket in his hand on the table, he got up and wanted to invite her out.

"Don't chase me, don't chase me."

Sang Jie saw that he seemed to be in a bad mood, so she didn't dare to continue fighting, raised her hands and surrendered with a smile, and then spoke.

"Tan Tao is very strange recently."

"Tell me specifically." Chu Wuzheng sat opposite her.

"He used to be very concerned about money, because every penny he earned had to be sent back to his parents in his hometown, but he seems to have changed his personality during this period, not only did he not want to work overtime, but even his brother had an accident, and he was missing He doesn’t care about making money by himself.”

This is not unusual for Chu Wuzheng, after all, Sang Shengli's millions have been swallowed up by him, so why is there any need to work from dawn to dusk?
"What else?" Chu Wuzheng asked.

"Also, he's always been nagging lately." Sang Jie replied. "What do you mean this time in your life, you should live for yourself and don't be tied down by others... Although I think what he said is quite reasonable, but he repeats this sentence every day, just like brainwashing."

Hearing this, the three people in the room glanced at each other - this, they really didn't think of it before.

Thinking of the strong sense of ritual at the scene of the crime, and the possibility of a second person at the scene that Shen Shiyu said, they should really consider focusing the case investigation on religion or personal beliefs.

After Sang Jie finished telling the clues, there was no reason to keep them. Chu Wuzheng took her to the gate of the police station and helped her take a taxi. While waiting for the taxi, the two stood beside the curb and chatted.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Chu Wuzheng frowned. "who said it?"

"My guess."

In fact, when she was in the car, Dalian chatted with Xianghang, but she overheard her.

Chu Wuzheng didn't answer, he was still thinking about the bowl of instant noodles in the house, thinking of going back to eat quickly, don't let it get cold.

"It seems that I guessed wrong." Sang Jie looked at him and said.

"Why?" Chu Wuzheng asked.

"Look at you sloppy, you haven't even shaved your beard for a few days? How does it look like you have a girlfriend?"

Chu Wuzheng raised his hand to touch his beard stubble, thinking carefully that he hadn't cleaned it up for several days, and wondered if it hurt her today?
Just as he was thinking, Chu Wuzheng suddenly felt a pair of cold hands sneaking into his pockets on both sides. He looked down and saw that Sang Jie was smiling.

"What are you doing?"

"chilly."

"...You are cold and you put it in your pocket."

Chu Wuzheng grabbed her wrist and tried to pull it away, but she let it go back without hesitation.

"It's warm here without you, don't be so stingy..."

The two of them were practicing Tai Chi, and the taxi they took was parked on the side of the road. Chu Wuzheng stuffed her into the car with two hands, but soon the window opened.

"Don't you thank me? I came here specially to provide you with clues today." Sang Jie said with her head stretched out.

"Thank you." Chu Wuzheng said.

Sang Jie waved at him. For some reason, Chu Wuzheng looked at her malicious smile, and somehow felt that this indicated that the two would meet again soon...

The arrest of Tan Tao continued, and Chu Wuzheng rushed to Tan Tao's hometown with his men the next day.

Jinnan Province is not too far from Beishi, but it's not too close. It takes a day to drive back and forth. Chu Wuzheng didn't have a good rest in the past two days.

Tan Tao's parents said that he never came back, and the police conducted a detailed search at his home, but they did not find the whereabouts of the millions in cash.

Just when they were about to leave, the police discovered that Tan Tao's home had received an email, which contained a letter from Tan Tao.

The text inside is somewhat similar to a suicide note, but it does not clearly state that he will give up his life. The most mentioned words in it are "I want to live for myself". After being identified by Tan Tao's parents, this is indeed Tan Tao's handwriting.
