Card Room Book 2

CR: Chapter 252

Yu Hanjiang went to the police force that night to work overtime investigating all of Zhou Yuanyuan's information, including her contact information and the housing information registered under her and her family. Xiao Lou was idle and had nothing to do so he simply returned to the police department with Yu Hanjiang.

The results of the investigation surprised the two.

Zhou Yuanyuan had just bought a house in the Yuehu Villa area but it was registered under her father, Zhou Jianqiang. This house was located in Area C. Judging from the housing distribution map provided by the community, her house was very close to Lin Yiyan's villa. It was only separated by a road.

Yu Hanjiang said, "If she has a telescope then Zhou Yuanyuan can clearly grasp Lin Yiyan's movements at home. This confirms our inference that the murderer has already made a detailed plan to kill her. Lin Yiyan is a famous celebrity. She is usually very busy and the time she returns to the villa isn't fixed at all. It will be difficult to grasp the timing of the murder if the distance is far. Only people living in the villa area can monitor Lin Yiyan's movements at any time and look for opportunities when she returns.

Zhou Yuanyuan had a private feud and the motive for the murder was sufficient. She also 'coincidentally' bought a house in the Yuehu Villa area. It was very close to Lin Yiyan's place and was convenient for surveillance. She had enough opportunities and time to commit the crime.

Xiao Lou added, "This Zhou Yuanyuan is very suspicious. If the murderer is her then she can take the ice cubes to Lin Yiyan's residence. After all, she lives very close to Lin Yiyan. However, since the two of them have a private enmity, will Lin Yiyan open the door to her in the middle of the night?"

Yu Hanjiang thought about it. "If she knocks on the door under the pretext of negotiation and pretending to reconcile with Lin Yiyan, perhaps Lin Yiyan would open the door? After all, she probably would've never expected that Zhou Yuanyuan would actually kill someone."

Xiao Lou nodded in agreement. "It makes sense. It is your enemy who knows you best. It wouldn't be surprising if Zhou Yuanyuan knows Lin Yiyan's living habits. If she killed Lin Yiyan and took Lin Yiyan's car... where would that car be now?"

Yu Hanjiang told him, "I asked the traffic police team to check the route and whereabouts of the 6K502 car when I went to them yesterday. There is no result yet. Let's go check for ourselves tomorrow."

They worked overtime again until the early hours of the morning. Then Yu Hanjiang drove Xiao Lou home and the two of them went back to rest. The next morning, Yu Hanjiang drove Xiao Lou to the traffic police department.

Captain Zhang of the traffic police team was familiar with Yu Hanjiang. After seeing him, he gave a hurried greeting. "Group Leader Yu, have you come to investigate so early?"

Yu Hanjiang asked in a low voice, "Old Zhang, has the whereabouts of Lin Yiyan's car been found?"

Captain Zhang shook his head with a wry smile. "We tracked this car, 6K502 for a long time. On Tuesday at 4:00 a.m., the car drove out of Yuehu Villa and drove around the city in a full circle. It finally disappeared at a fork in the road and the follow-up couldn't be found. That block is the most remote suburb in our city. The road was recently being repaired and there was no time to install cameras."

The murderer went around the city and finally went to a remote area with no cameras. This was obviously to hinder the investigation.

Captain Zhang called up the prepared surveillance and pointed to the 6K502 license plate on the screen. "Based on the surveillance at the fork in the road, this car should've driven out of Binzhou City and headed for Yuezhou in the next area. I have contacted the traffic police in Yuezhou City. They checked all of yesterday and just replied to me that they couldn't find information about this car on the surveillance."
