Everyone was quite familiar with Zhao Guojun.

Among them, the person most familiar with him was the director of the legal department, Qian Weiguo.

Because fifteen years ago, when Zhang Manyu disappeared, there were connections to this man.

Now, no one expected that the final suspect on the list would be Zhao Xiaoguo, Zhao Guojun’s son.

Sun Jun looked around, and everyone knew who Zhao Guojun was, standing up again.

"Additionally, during our investigation, we found another clue."

"Song Jinfu...back when he was a driver for the Experimental Primary School, he drove for the principal at the time, Zhao Guojun."

"Ten years ago, when Zhao Guojun transferred to the Education Bureau as the head, Song Jinfu followed and drove for him there as well."

"In other words, Song Jinfu had been Zhao Guojun’s driver since the Experimental Primary School."

"Until Song Jinfu resigned and established JF Catering Company."

Sun Jun ended his report.

From the current investigation clues by Sun Jun and Zhang Hui, it was almost certain that Zhao Xiaoguo was a suspect in the murder of Song Jinfu.

The interest entanglement between the two companies of Song Jinfu and Zhao Xiaoguo was the most crucial conflict point.

Qin Yong looked around at everyone.

"Ahem, let’s hear what everyone thinks now."

Thoughts?

"Captain Qin, isn’t it obvious? Song Jinfu’s catering company could monopolize the prefabricated dishes for all city primary schools..."

"It definitely has something to do with the Zhao family!"

"Zhao Xiaoguo’s company is just a shell, receiving monthly dividends from JF Catering Company, that’s the biggest evidence."

"But there’s one thing I don’t understand, given such a deep interest entanglement, why would Zhao Xiaoguo kill Song Jinfu, the ’golden goose’ for the Zhao family?"

This question lingered in everyone’s mind.

There was significant interest entanglement between Zhao Xiaoguo and Song Jinfu.

From a normal business logic perspective, the possibility of conflicts due to uneven interest distribution between them was quite high.

But clearly, Song Jinfu’s monopoly on city primary school prefabricated dishes after entering business couldn’t just be a normal commercial act.

In other words, all profits of JF Catering Company should essentially come from the Zhao family.

So, frankly speaking, Song Jinfu was merely a ’white glove’ for the Zhao family to scoop money.

Thus, he didn’t actually have control over JF Catering Company.

Then, there shouldn’t be any conflicts between him and Zhao Xiaoguo due to money interest distribution.

Was it to silence him?

If Zhao Xiaoguo killed Song Jinfu to silence him, how could it be possible that he flayed him flamboyantly and plastered him on the wall?

And why did it relate back to the case of Zhang Manyu being killed fifteen years ago?

Though evidence currently pointed toward Zhao Xiaoguo being the murderer, the entire case seemed intricate and confusing.

"Captain Qin, regardless of any hidden truths behind Zhao Xiaoguo killing Song Jinfu, current clues indeed point to him as the murderer."

"My suggestion is to take criminal measures against Zhao Xiaoguo."

"Besides, I have a hypothesis."

Zhang Hui finally spoke after pondering for a long time.

"If Zhao Xiaoguo indeed is the murderer of Song Jinfu."

"Then it’s highly unlikely that he was the one who called Captain Qin, exposing the mastermind behind the murder of Zhang Manyu."

"Reason?"

"Age!"

"How old is Zhao Xiaoguo now? How old was he fifteen years ago?"

"Fifteen years ago, Zhao Xiaoguo wasn’t even ten years old, he couldn’t have gone to North Mountain Park alone."

"Let alone witnessed Zhang Manyu’s murder."

"Moreover, there’s no reason why, one or two years ago, someone would place clues about killing Song Jinfu in Zhang Manyu’s skeletal grave."

"And another crucial point, doesn’t everyone think it was too easy to trace Zhao Xiaoguo’s clues in Spring Breeze Lane?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

This point...

Indeed, it was relatively easy, although Zhao Xiaoguo used a cell phone from a small shop without surveillance to call Song Jinfu.

But this minor trick could easily be exposed under police investigation.

"However, at the warehouse where Song Jinfu was killed, not only did the perpetrator leave no fingerprints or footprints, they even thought to erase tire marks."

"The murder scene was handled so meticulously, yet the way they took away Song Jinfu was so careless, leaving so many clues in Spring Breeze Lane, I think...something’s off."

"Therefore, I believe Zhao Xiaohu’s clues might have been intentionally left by the mastermind."

Many nodded in agreement with Zhang Hui’s analysis.

Indeed, if Zhao Xiaoguo was the mastermind, why would he call Qin?

It doesn’t add up, it’s unreasonable.

Logically inconsistent, which means there must be an issue in his behavior.

But no matter what, they haven’t yet identified the person who called Qin Yong.

The city’s technical center responded that the caller used a very covert communication method.

They must have used some hacker techniques.

Technological tracking revealed that the call’s dialing location was overseas, though it’s likely the actual location was in Haizhou City.

In the subsequent case analysis meeting, everyone discussed their thoughts.

Ultimately, Qin Yong made the decision.

"Regardless of anything, as of now, after Song Jinfu disappeared, the only contact was Zhao Xiaoguo."

"I order! Immediately take criminal measures against Zhao Xiaoguo, arrest him."

Although the current case is intricate and filled with doubts.

Just as Zhang Hui analyzed, if such a mastermind indeed exists...

Zhao Xiaoguo should be a lead thrown to the police by this mastermind.

In that case, it might be best to arrest Zhao Xiaoguo first, following their intention.

Because arresting Zhao Xiaoguo certainly couldn’t be the mastermind’s ultimate aim.

Otherwise, they would have directly handed evidence of Zhao Xiaoguo killing Song Jinfu to the police, rather than channeling it through the Zhang Manyu death line.

Meanwhile, in a solemn office at Haizhou City’s government building.

Zhao Guojun was amending documents when he received a mysterious phone call.

"Mr. Zhao, your son Zhao Xiaoguo is suspected of murdering Song Jinfu."

"The police have solid evidence against him, now you only have ten minutes to decide whether to help him escape!"

With that, the caller hung up.

Throughout the call, while Zhao Guojun’s expression changed drastically, he uttered not a sound.

After the call ended, Zhao Guojun pondered for a moment, then pulled a phone from his drawer.

He promptly dialed Song Jinfu’s number.

Powered off!

Could the caller...be telling the truth?

Zhao Guojun dialed another number.

"Hello? Who is this?"
