Chapter 391 Deputy Director Zhao
Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun came out of Dong Jiahui's accounting office, walking hurriedly towards the boys' dormitory.
The sunlight shines on their neat police uniforms, reflecting a cool light. At this moment, their hearts are lingering with the mystery of the case, and every new clue is like a light spot looming in the darkness, attracting them to keep exploring.
Walking into the corridor of the dormitory building, the air is filled with a faint smell of detergent.
A cleaning lady was bending over, carefully wiping the handrail of the stairs. Her hair was a little gray, and her face showed the traces of time, but her movements were very neat.
Seeing this, Luo Jinxi took a few quick steps, with a polite smile on her face, and said softly: "Hello, Auntie, do you know which dormitory Zhou Nan lives in?"
The cleaning lady looked up and saw the police uniforms on the two men. A hint of surprise flashed across her eyes, and then she smiled warmly. She said in Mandarin with a slight accent, "Third floor, turn left and go to the second room."
"Thank you." Luo Jinxi responded in a clear and gentle voice.
The cleaning lady waved her hand and said, "You're welcome. It's my duty."
Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun walked upstairs with vigorous steps, each step was steady and powerful.
The corridor was very quiet, with only their footsteps echoing in the empty space.
Soon, they arrived at the third floor, and as soon as they turned left, they heard several people talking in the dormitory.
"Zhu Huimin died in her dormitory yesterday. Xiao Zhou is on a business trip and hasn't returned yet. If he knew, he would be so sad!" said a voice with obvious regret.
"Ding Mao, do you think we should call Zhou Nan about this?" another voice asked with a hint of hesitation.
Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun walked to the door of the dormitory, looked at each other, then Luo Jinxi reached out and knocked gently on the half-open door.
The noise in the dormitory stopped abruptly, followed by a flurry of movement. After a while, the door was opened, and the three people saw two policemen standing at the door, with surprised expressions on their faces.
Ding Mao reacted quickly, a smile immediately appeared on his face, and he said, "Please come in, two police comrades. What can I do for you?"
Zhang Zhekun was the first to walk into the dormitory, looking around sharply. The dormitory was not big, with four bunk beds inside, various sundries piled on the floor, clothes casually thrown on the chairs, and the whole environment seemed a bit messy.
Zhang Zhekun frowned slightly and asked, "How many people live in your dormitory?"
"Four people." Ding Mao replied quickly.
Zhang Zhekun smiled and said, "The environment is worrying. Please be careful."
At this time, a tall and thin young man sat up from the bed and said helplessly: "To support the family, you have to make do with what you have come out. Many places can't pay wages, but at least Director Wang can still pay everyone."
Luo Jinxi asked politely: "What are your names, brothers?"
Ding Mao quickly introduced himself: "My name is Ding Mao, the thin guy is Liu Huiqing, his name is Jing Botao, and there is another one who is on a business trip and hasn't come back yet, his name is Zhou Nan."
When Zhang Zhekun heard the name "Zhou Nan", his eyes lit up and he immediately asked, "When was the last time you and Zhou Nan were together?"
Jing Botao scratched his head and recalled: "Sunday, today is Saturday, it's almost been a week!"
Ding Mao nodded and agreed, "Yes, it's been almost a week."
Luo Jinxi then smiled and asked, "When we came here just now, we heard you talking about Zhu Huimin. What is her relationship with Zhou Nan?"
Liu Huiqing smiled and said with a normal expression, "They are in a relationship. I heard from Zhou Nan that Zhu Huimin proposed to him the idea of getting married! Zhou Nan is also planning to buy a house in the city center, and they will live there after they get married."
Ding Mao sighed and said with worry on his face, "Zhu Huimin died yesterday. I wonder how much of a blow Zhou Nan must have felt when he got home and heard the news."
Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun looked at each other. They grasped important information from these words.
As Zhu Huimin's boyfriend, Zhou Nan's whereabouts and reactions may be the key to solving the mystery of the case.
This seemingly ordinary dormitory seems to hide some unknown secrets.
"Where did Zhou Nan go on this business trip? When will he be back?" Zhang Zhekun asked immediately.
Ding Mao shook his head and said, "We are not sure about this. He left in a hurry and said he had an important client to meet."
Liu Huiqing added: "But he usually doesn't go on a business trip for more than ten days, so he should be back soon."
Luo Jinxi frowned slightly, thinking about this information. Zhu Huimin's death and Zhou Nan's business trip were so close in time, was this just a coincidence? She looked at the three people in the dormitory again and asked, "Are you familiar with Zhu Huimin? Does she usually have conflicts with anyone?"
Ding Mao and Jing Botao looked at each other and shook their heads. Liu Huiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm not sure about this. I just heard Zhu Huimin and Zhou Nan talk on the phone occasionally, and they seemed to have mentioned some unpleasant things at work, but they didn't say anything specific."
Zhang Zhekun keenly caught Liu Huiqing's hesitation. He stared into her eyes and asked, "Do you know something else? Don't hide it. It is very important for the investigation of the case."
Liu Huiqing rubbed her hands nervously and said, "Actually... I saw Zhu Huimin arguing with a leader in the factory a few days ago. I didn't hear what they were arguing about, but it seemed like a fierce argument."
"Which leader?" Luo Jinxi asked immediately.
"It seems to be... Deputy Director Zhao." Liu Huiqing said in a low voice.
This new clue shocked Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun. They realized that this case was far more complicated than they had imagined, and there seemed to be more secrets and conflicts of interest hidden behind it.
As the investigation deepened, they got closer and closer to the cruel truth.
After leaving the dormitory, Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun stood downstairs, looking at the dormitory building, and fell into deep thought.
They know that this is just the beginning and the subsequent investigation will be more difficult, but they have a firm belief in their hearts that they must uncover the layers of fog and let the truth come to light.
After Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun came out of the boys' dormitory, the new clues provided by Liu Huiqing were circling in their minds. Zhu Huimin had a fierce argument with Deputy Director Zhao.
The two looked at each other in tacit understanding and said almost in unison: "Let's go meet Deputy Director Zhao?"
As soon as the words came out, the two were stunned at first, then smiled at each other, clapped their hands heavily, and said cheerfully: "Let's go!"
The sun shone on the road in the factory area. They hurriedly walked around the quiet workshop. Soon, they arrived at the door of the factory director's office.
The door of the office was closed, and the atmosphere around seemed a little depressing. Luo Jinxi took a deep breath and raised his hand to knock on the door.
"Come in," a slightly tired voice came from inside.
The two pushed the door open and saw a man about fifty years old sitting at a desk.
His brows were furrowed, his face full of restlessness, his eyes were fixed on the messy data files on the table, his hands were constantly flipping through them, as if he was looking for something, but he had no clue and looked at a loss.
The man heard the door open, looked up, and saw two people in police uniforms. He stopped what he was doing, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and asked, "Two police comrades, who are you looking for?"
Luo Jinxi showed a professional smile on his face and said politely, "Let's look for Deputy Director Zhao."
Deputy Factory Director Zhao was slightly stunned, with a confused look on his face, and asked back: "It's me, what do you want from me?"
Zhang Zhekun never liked beating around the bush, so he went straight to the point and asked, "Do you know Zhu Huimin?"
Deputy Factory Manager Zhao looked calm and harmless as he replied, "An employee of our factory, the leader of the clothing lining group in Area B."
Luo Jinxi then asked: "Do you know that Zhu Huimin was found dead in the dormitory yesterday?"
Deputy Director Zhao nodded slightly and said, "I know that the police came here to collect evidence yesterday."
"You had a verbal dispute with her before. What was it about?" Luo Jinxi stared at Deputy Director Zhao closely, not missing any change in his facial expression.
Deputy Director Zhao was slightly startled, then a faint smile appeared on his face, and he explained: "Our factory has a policy that long-term employees are allocated housing. She has worked in the factory for more than eight years and should enjoy this policy. But..."
He paused, a hint of hesitation in his eyes, as if he was thinking about how to word it.
"But what?" Zhang Zhekun asked, with a hint of unquestionable toughness in his tone.
Deputy Director Zhao sighed helplessly and continued, "But recently the factory has had problems with capital turnover, so the housing allocation issue has been put on hold for the time being.
Zhu Huimin came to me, very emotional, she felt that she had contributed so much to the factory but did not get the due return, so we had some disputes. "
Luo Jinxi frowned slightly, thinking about what Deputy Director Zhao said. She felt that things were not that simple. If it was just a matter of housing allocation,
The conflict between Zhu Huimin and Deputy Director Zhao should not be so intense. She glanced at Zhang Zhekun, and they both had the same doubts in their hearts.
"Apart from this incident, are there any other conflicts between you and Zhu Huimin?" Luo Jinxi asked again.
Deputy Director Zhao quickly shook his head and said, "No, that's really all. I'm also sorry to hear about her death. She was a very hard-working employee."
Zhang Zhekun looked into Deputy Director Zhao's eyes, trying to find a flaw in his expression. However, Deputy Director Zhao's eyes seemed to show no other unusual emotions except fatigue and helplessness.
"Where were you last night? What were you doing?" Zhang Zhekun suddenly asked.
Deputy Director Zhao was slightly stunned, obviously not expecting the police to suddenly ask this question.
He thought for a moment and said, "Yesterday, Director Wang was busy with the fire department and the production safety supervision and management department. I was the only one working overtime in the office at night, processing some documents for the factory, and I didn't go home until very late."
"Can anyone prove it?" Luo Jinxi asked.
"The security guard in the office should be able to see me. He patrols every once in a while." Deputy Director Zhao replied.
Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun looked at each other. They knew that this information needed further verification.
Judging from the current situation, although Deputy Director Zhao had conflicts with Zhu Huimin, there is not enough evidence to prove that he was related to Zhu Huimin's death.
"Okay, Deputy Director Zhao, thank you for cooperating with our investigation. If we have any other questions, we may come to you again." Luo Jinxi said as he stood up.
Deputy Factory Director Zhao also stood up quickly and said, "It's my duty, police comrades. I hope you can solve the case as soon as possible and give Zhu Huimin justice."
After leaving the factory director's office, Luo Jinxi and Zhang Zhekun stood in the corridor, lost in thought.
They know that the investigation of this case will not be smooth sailing, and every clue may hide deeper secrets.
But they never backed down, because their duty was to uncover the truth, let the dead rest in peace, and let the murderer receive the punishment he deserved.
