Chapter 1244: Chapter 1219: The Culprit Turns Out to Be Her

Upon hearing this, Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, "Ye Chen, are we leaving now?"

"Yes," Ye Chen replied.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Little Jing had a disappointed look on her face.

She felt genuinely happy playing with Ye Chen; it was a heartfelt feeling.

"Little Jing, I also have some things to do; I’ll come see you another day," Zhou Susu said with a smile.

Although she had questions in her heart, she knew she couldn’t ask them in front of Little Jing.

Watching Ye Chen and Zhou Susu walk out of the room, Little Jing got off the bed and ran out as well.

For Little Jing’s safety, she couldn’t leave the room and could only see Ye Chen and Zhou Susu off at the door.

After they left, Little Jing returned to her previous state, curling up in a corner of the kitchen.

The policeman responsible for protecting Little Jing was anxious, but he didn’t know what to do.

After all, the girl’s emotions were very unstable, and he was afraid that any move or word might trigger her sensitive nerves.

After Zhou Susu and Ye Chen walked out of the building, the two of them got into the car.

Thinking about the information he just got from Little Jing, Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

He thought this little girl was really pitiful.

"Ye Chen, why did you leave without even asking?" Zhou Susu said anxiously.

"I already know who the killer is now," Ye Chen said with a determined expression.

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Zhou Susu looked at the man in front of her, half-believing.

How could this be possible? He found out everything just by playing with Little Jing for a while; this is simply too unscientific.

Zhou Susu had solved cases for so many years and had never encountered such a situation.

"Ye Chen, you must be joking with me. I know you couldn’t bear to question Little Jing after seeing her. I can understand your feelings," Zhou Susu said with a forlorn expression.

Although Zhou Susu wanted to solve the case, she never forced Little Jing. Whenever she felt Little Jing’s emotions were off, she immediately stopped questioning.

"Susu, I’m not joking with you; everything I said is true," Ye Chen said seriously.

Then he sighed and said, "Ah, the killer is Little Jing’s aunt."

"Little Jing’s aunt, how is that possible? She’s been abroad all this time, and from what we understand, she was very loving to Little Jing before. She had a very good relationship with Little Jing’s parents; it couldn’t possibly be true."

In fact, Zhou Susu couldn’t be blamed for not believing it; mainly because Ye Chen hadn’t done anything related to the investigation, yet he casually said who the killer was.

"Ah, you’re just too naive. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’You can’t judge a book by its cover’? Some people disguise themselves and will do anything to achieve their goals," Ye Chen suddenly said.

Even though Ye Chen said this, Zhou Susu still couldn’t believe it.

They had previously investigated Little Jing’s parents’ situation. The couple co-owned a company, were warm people, had no enemies, and got along well with relatives and friends.

They also investigated the people around the couple. Little Jing’s mom also had a sister, which is the aunt Ye Chen mentioned. The sisters had a very good relationship. Since Little Jing was born, her aunt had loved her as if she were her own.

Similarly, the aunt and uncle also ran a company.

Zhou Susu didn’t understand; if what Ye Chen said was true, then what would be the aunt’s motive for murder? There was no reason at all.

"Ye Chen, I still can’t quite believe it. You say Little Jing’s aunt is the killer, but what would be her motive?" Zhou Susu asked.

"Of course, it’s for money; what else?" Ye Chen glanced at Zhou Susu.

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Zhou Susu laughed and said, "Ye Chen, if you put it like this, it’s not right. Little Jing’s aunt owns a company and is very profitable. How could it be for money?"

"Ah, what you see is only the surface. In fact, after these years of operation, that company is nothing but an empty shell. The aunt and uncle owe a lot of debt. If you don’t believe me, you can check to find out."

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhou Susu was deep in thought.

Because Little Jing’s aunt was always abroad and the sisters had such a good relationship, both ran a company, so they didn’t suspect in that direction.

With the suspicion of the aunt basically being ruled out, they didn’t even think about checking the company’s situation.

If that’s the case, it indeed should be checked, especially since the police currently had no other leads.

"Okay, Ye Chen, I’ll go back and check," Zhou Susu nodded and said.

Ye Chen used his empathy skills to get all the information he wanted from Little Jing, feeling everything as if he were there.

He knew that on the surface, Little Jing’s aunt got along with Little Jing’s mother, but in reality, she’d long harbored murderous intent against their family, especially since she was in heavy debt now.

To bring her to justice, they had to find the teddy bear Little Jing’s mother gave her, as it held key evidence proving she was the killer.

Ye Chen wasn’t a police officer; without Zhou Susu’s lead, he couldn’t enter the crime scene.

But if he told Zhou Susu about the teddy bear, she probably wouldn’t believe it either, not to mention he couldn’t just search the house aimlessly.

They say something one person hides is impossible to find even by a hundred people.

"Ye Chen, let’s go."

Zhou Susu’s words interrupted Ye Chen’s thoughts.

Ye Chen and Zhou Susu got into the car and started it.

The car headed towards the police station. Since they had some leads, they would investigate immediately.

After a while, the car stopped in front of the police station.

Zhou Susu got out of the car, but Ye Chen didn’t. He waved to the girl and left.

After all, Ye Chen had his own matters to attend to and couldn’t always accompany her in solving cases.

Although Zhou Susu wanted him to accompany her in the investigation, she ultimately didn’t say it.

The words that almost came out of her mouth, Zhou Susu swallowed back down.

After leaving the police station, Ye Chen didn’t go home; instead, he went in search of a teddy bear identical to the one Little Jing had.

The image of that teddy bear was deeply imprinted in Ye Chen’s mind.

He went to the toy section of the supermarket but didn’t find the same teddy bear.

Ye Chen went to several toy stores and still didn’t see it.

Just when he was disappointed and about to leave, he suddenly saw a store not far away with that teddy bear hanging at its door. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Ye Chen ran towards the store with excitement on his face.

It really was like finding something effortlessly that others had been searching for.

Seeing Ye Chen come in, the store owner greeted him warmly.

"Sir, is there anything you need help with?"

"I want that teddy bear," Ye Chen said, pointing to the toy at the door.
