Chapter 40 His Eyeliner

About Zhao Yan, Jin Zhou naturally wouldn't communicate with Yang Shiyu, so now he also has his little secret.

Lying on the bed with Yang Shiyu in the middle of the night, Jin Zhou didn't sleep with Yang Shiyu in his arms like before, but turned his back up, looking at the ceiling and thinking about how to win the embezzlement case.

He took the investigation order to check the monitoring of the Paris Temple, and indeed, as Liu Qian said, only the backs of the two were photographed.

With such circumstantial evidence, it is almost impossible to convict Zhang Rui, and another method has to be found.

"Jin Zhou." Yang Shiyu's voice suddenly sounded beside him, interrupting Jin Zhou's thoughts.

He turned his head to meet Yang Shiyu's gaze: "Huh?"

Yang Shiyu asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

"Thinking about something." Jin Zhou didn't hide this point. After answering, he asked Yang Shiyu again, "Why aren't you sleeping?"

Usually Yang Shiyu always turned his back to Jin Zhou, if the two of them had nothing else to do, he would fall asleep soon.However, today he was not only lying flat on the bed, but had been lying down for a long time, and he still hadn't fallen asleep.

"I'm not used to it." Yang Shiyu said lightly.

"Where are you not used to it?" Jin Zhou asked strangely.

"You didn't hold me."

When he said this, Yang Shiyu's tone was as calm as ever, as if he was saying that Jin Zhou didn't make the quilt today.

But Jin Zhou's heart was beating non-stop as if he had been hit by an arrow.

This is coquettish, right?This is it?

Yang Shiyu was acting like a baby to him?

Jin Zhou only felt that his blood pressure was rising, his mouth was dry, and his whole heart was about to melt.He immediately turned over and lay on his side, hugged his big baby, and kissed Yang Shiyu's side face like an idiot: "Come, come, my husband will sleep with you."

Yang Shiyu then turned over and faced Jin Zhou, with his arm casually around his waist: "What are you thinking?"

"I..." just opened his mouth to answer a word, Jin Zhou was vigilant and found something was wrong, so he quickly closed his mouth.

Good guy, he didn't use seductive means to trap Yang Shiyu's words, but he didn't expect Yang Shiyu to use this trick first.

He just said why Yang Shiyu is so cute today, he dared to have other plans.

"Are you curious?" Jin Zhou asked without answering.

Yang Shiyu should know that the trick has been seen through, put away his candid expression, and said casually: "No, just ask."

"You're just curious." Jin Zhou liked the feeling of seeing through Yang Shiyu, "You're curious why I didn't ask you about your 'old classmate'."

That day Yang Shiyu was sent back to the community by the Maybach, and faced with Jin Zhou's questioning, he casually used the excuse of his old classmate to fool him.

But logically speaking, Yang Shiyu understood Jin Zhou's temperament, and he should know that Jin Zhou would not be easily dismissed like this.

In fact, Jin Zhou was not fooled, he stopped asking, just because he already knew who that person was.But it was precisely because he didn't continue to question that Yang Shiyu became suspicious.

It seems that it is indeed not easy to have a little secret, and you have to perform a full set of acting.

If you don't pay attention, Yang Shiyu will see the clues.

"So are you going to tell me?" Jin Zhou simply followed the topic and asked, "Is that person really your old classmate?"

Yang Shiyu didn't answer immediately, but looked straight at Jin Zhou, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

After a while, he looked away, turned his back on Jin Zhou: "Yes."

Still lying.

Jin Zhou checked Zhao Yan. He and Yang Shiyu were not the same age, so there was no way they were classmates.

But he has long been used to Yang Shiyu acting alone without him, who is not checking?Everyone depends on their ability.

In the morning of the next day, Jin Zhou asked Sun Yi and Yu He to come to the car repair shop for a meeting in a serious manner. He also set up a whiteboard in a decent manner, put Zhang Rui's head in the center, and listed various plans around it.

"Our first task now," Jin Zhou tapped the whiteboard with a marker, "is to find evidence that the watch is in Zhang Rui's hands, and we must not let him know."

Sun Yi, who was sitting opposite, raised his hand.

Jin Zhou raised his chin: "Speak."

"Why can't Zhang Rui know?" Sun Yi asked, "We can fake the illusion that we have the evidence and trick him into returning it voluntarily, so that we don't have to go to court and save trouble."

"No, it must be troublesome." Jin Zhou folded his arms around his chest, pacing back and forth in front of the whiteboard, "We need a winning result."

Like Luo Xueqing's case, the reason why the settlement amount of 48 yuan could be increased to [-] yuan is precisely because the result of winning the lawsuit is in sight, so that there are conditions for negotiation.

"But...it should be difficult," Sun Yi said.

"It's really difficult." Jin Zhou nodded, "So I can only try my best. If it's really not possible, it's better to let him take the initiative to return the watch."

Yu He, who was sitting beside Sun Yi, raised his hand.

Jin Zhou raised his chin again: "Speak."

"The guy who distributed the leaflets said that Zhang Rui had bargained with him and was not satisfied with the price of [-] yuan." Yu He said.

A watch with a market price of more than 40 yuan, the consignment house only spent 10 yuan to collect it, which is indeed a bit ruthless.

But the logic behind this is not that simple.

According to the law, pawnbrokers, consignment houses, etc. cannot take back valuables without receipts, which will lead to the suspicion of collecting stolen goods.The customer must have complete receipts to prove that the source of the item is legitimate.

Zhang Rui obviously didn't have a receipt, so he had to forge the receipt if he sold it through formal channels, which made accidents more likely.Therefore, on the leaflet that Jin Zhou asked Yu He to distribute, the words "support cash" were actually hinting to Zhang Rui that the money does not need to go to the bank, and there is no need to be afraid of being traced.

To put it more bluntly, when a knowledgeable person sees this kind of leaflet, he will immediately know what the leaflet means—we can sell stolen goods here.

"You can ask the buddy to talk about it again. The maximum is 15, and it may cause suspicion if it is higher." Jin Zhou said.

Sitting next to Yu He, Xiao Wu raised his hand.

Jin Zhou raised his chin again: "Speak."

"Why don't you let Brother Liu come forward?" Xiao Wu said, "Brother Liu has a lot of contacts, so we can find a few more people to talk about, and it will definitely solve this matter."

Sun Yi and Yu He looked at Xiao Wu together: "You didn't listen when you saw it!"

Xiao Wu scratched the back of his head guiltily. He was playing with his mobile phone just now, so he really didn't listen to the lecture very much.

"Call Huzi brothers," Jin Zhou didn't expect Xiao Wu to speak constructively at all, "I have other things for you to do."

Sun Yi and Yu He went back to the law firm and the consignment store respectively, while Xiao Wu went to Huzi's side.

There was only Jin Zhou left in the car repair shop, and there was no business in the shop, so he planned to close the shop early and go to Hetai Building for a walk.

However, just as he pulled the switch and was about to leave, a man wearing a black suit and a dark gray coat suddenly appeared at the door of the store.

"Hello, are you Jin Zhou?"

The visitor had handsome features and a clear voice. There was a red badge pinned to his left chest. Jin Zhou recognized it as a prosecutor's badge at a glance.

Scattered memories were awakened in an instant, and Jin Zhou immediately remembered that he had seen this person before - the prosecutor in the obstruction case.

At that time, he was so aggressive in court that the defense lawyer was speechless, which left a deep impression on Jin Zhou.

Jin Zhou admired the prosecutor's performance throughout the trial, which made Yang Shiyu unhappy for a long time.

"I am. You are?" There is no need to establish a relationship, and Jin Zhou didn't bother to say that he met, so he directly asked the other party's background.

"Xie Yao, the prosecutor of the district procuratorate." Xie Yao said generously, "I came to see you today because I want to know something about you."

understand situation?

Jin Zhou felt baffled, but he had no choice but to turn on the electric switch again: "Sit inside."

While Jin Zhou was boiling water, Xie Yao neatly placed the notebook and pen on the small table, and even the dividing line in the middle of the notebook was stretched tight and straight.

After a while, Jin Zhou came to the small table with two cups of tea, and Xie Yao picked up the notebook and pen that had just been set up.

Jin Zhou couldn't help muttering in his heart, is it necessary to put it on?Pick it up anyway.

But this shows that the prosecutor should be a very serious person in his work.

"I want to ask you about everything that happened that night when you went to Tongzilou." Xie Yao asked while recording.

"Tongzilou?" Jin Zhou was a little surprised. He thought it was something, but he didn't expect it to be related to this murder case.

"Yes." Xie Yao said, "I'm investigating the two murders in Tongzilou and the bachelor apartment."

It turned out to be the case.

Ren Wenli mentioned to Jin Zhou before that the prosecutors intervened in these two cases in advance, but it was Xie Yao who didn't expect it.

"Single apartment?" This was new information for Jin Zhou, "Didn't the victim have a daughter?"

"Yes, but she is a single mother." Xie Yao said.

Jin Zhou felt a little strange in his heart, but before he had time to think about it, he heard Xie Yao ask: "Did you go to Tongzilou alone that night?"

"Yes." Jin Zhou told what happened that night again, but omitted all the details related to Yang Shiyu.

"Judging from the surveillance video on the side of the road," Xie Yao said while flipping through his notebook, "you stayed in Tongzilou for more than half an hour, and you said you were looking for Wang Darong's whereabouts, but he was not at home, and his home was not too far away. Twenty square meters, how could you stay for more than half an hour?"

Without waiting for Jin Zhou to answer, Xie Yao asked again: "Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

Xie Yao's questioning method was completely different from Ren Wenli's, with a bit of oppression, just like that court debate.

Sitting in the auditorium at that time, Jin Zhou imagined what would happen if he met such a powerful prosecutor, but he didn't expect that his imagination would become reality so quickly—but not in court.

"No." Jin Zhou said calmly, "I went to Wang Darong's house for nothing. I felt very depressed, so I stayed in the corridor for a while and smoked a cigarette."

"Do you smoke alone?" Xie Yao asked again.

"Of course." Jin Zhou said, "Are you still smoking with ghosts?"

"When the surveillance captured you leaving, there was a man wearing a baseball cap in front of you. When did he appear?" Xie Yao continued to ask.

"When I went downstairs?" Jin Zhou pretended to remember, "I don't really remember the details. If you don't mention it, I don't have any impression."

Xie Yao nodded thoughtfully. Jin Zhou looked for the right opportunity and began to ask Xie Yao: "I heard that the time of the murderer's crime was after I left, so I shouldn't be suspicious, right?"

He didn't suspect Yang Shiyu on purpose, because he didn't want to arouse Xie Yao's suspicion.

As long as it can be confirmed that he is not suspected, then Yang Shiyu, who is walking ahead of him, must not be suspected either.

"From the timeline, this is indeed the case." Xie Yao said, "According to the timeline we sorted out, when you were smoking in the corridor, the murderer should be going upstairs. Are you sure you didn't see any suspicious people?"

"The murderer is going upstairs?" Jin Zhou frowned upon hearing this.

He carefully recalled the situation that night. He remembered that he heard footsteps going up and down the stairs behind him, but who would know that it was the murderer?

"I didn't see it." Jin Zhou shook his head, feeling a pity in his heart, "At that time, he was facing outside the window, and he didn't notice who was passing behind him."

"Okay." Xie Yao also had a regretful expression, sighed, and closed his notebook, "By the way, I heard that you were almost killed a while ago, but now you can rest assured that the police from other provinces have already arrested Wei Jie , he has honestly pleaded guilty."

"Huh?" Jin Zhou was stunned.

This news surprised Jin Zhou even more than the murderer passing by behind his back.

Damn Yang Shiyu is really tight-lipped?

The reason why Jin Zhou was not allowed to go out at night was because the murderer was still on the run.

Now that Wei Jie has been arrested, why is he obediently staying at home?

But these are not the point, Xie Yao said that Wei Jie has already pleaded guilty, which is obviously the worst case - he intends to confess all his sins.

Yang Shiyu didn't even tell him about such a big matter?

Jin Zhou suddenly thought of another question. Yang Shiyu started to contact Wang Hetai's secretary. Could it be that Wei Jie's line was blocked, so he took such a radical approach?

Damn, the more I think about it, the more angry I get.

It is definitely impossible to be obedient, and Jin Zhou has to speed up his progress.

But before that, he had to solve another thing - Yang Shiyu's eyeliner.

This dog arranges a handsome young guy to hang around him, and still pretends that he doesn't know?
