Xiao Hanyang again asked Miao Xiaowei in the morning and got an important clue. Miao Xiaowei said He Zongyi's phone was given to him by a fellow townsman as compensation from the other party in a fight. Luo Weizhao felt that if it was really as Miao Xiaowei said, what did He Zongyi have to hide about the conflict with someone? Furthermore, with so many people living together, no one else knew about it, proving the injury wasn't severe.

Was it necessary for the other party to send such a valuable item afterwards to apologize? Yesterday, he carefully examined that suit. Not only was it expensive, but the style was also old-fashioned and formal. If he was going to meet a fellow townsman his age, He Zongyi could have used that money to rent a style popular among young people today.

Therefore, he felt that if he wasn't going to meet an elder, he was going to meet someone powerful. Before he could finish speaking, Tao Ze answered first. He thought Tao Ze was thinking the same thing as him. Tao Ze's hesitation reminded Luo Weizhao of Pei Su. Tao Ze truthfully relayed everything Pei Su said yesterday to Luo Weizhao.

Sticking a note on the victim's forehead could be seen as an elder teaching a child a lesson, or a strong person bullying a weak one, and the killer has a narcissistic personality. Luo Weizhao suspected that the person He Zongyi was going to meet was the same person who gave him the phone or perhaps even the 100,000 yuan. Those with emotional empathy disorder are the most dangerous type among Apaths, who enjoy manipulating others' lives.

Therefore, he hoped Tao Ze would not let Pei Su learn any case information, and not let Pei Su become that kind of person. Miao Xiaowei provided another important clue. He said he had never heard He Zongyi mention knowing any elder or powerful person in Xin Zhou. But that day, He Zongyi had inquired about a place from him. That place was Chengguang Manor.

Chengguang Manor is a private club Zhang Donglan frequents, and Zhang Donglan himself was at Chengguang Manor on the day of the incident. Pei Su was also with him that day. But Pei Su also couldn't completely prove that he didn't have time to commit the crime. However, he believed Zhang Donglan would not be the murderer. Cui Hongliang has already arrested Miao Xiaowei and identified him as a major suspect. The evidence for this is He Zongyi's phone.

They found the phone through location tracking, and the phone fence confessed immediately that Miao Xiaowei was the person who sold the phone to him. Later, the Lower West District patrol also checked for Miao Xiaowei's and the victim's fingerprints on the phone. Not only that, Miao Xiaowei also said he picked up the phone at the crime scene. Even stranger, they found injection marks on Miao Xiaowei's arm.

It was originally a body dumping case, but now it involves Zhaonan Group on one hand and drug use on the other. Luo Weizhao felt the body dumping location was special. They examined the soles of the victim's shoes, which were very clean despite the muddy, trash-filled road at the crime scene. And Miao Xiaowei also confirmed that He Zongyi was indeed wearing these shoes when he left.

So the possibility of the killer changing his shoes was basically ruled out. If the killer wanted to move the crime scene, why would he choose a place where there was a high probability of being seen to dump the body? Miao Xiaowei clearly stated that he heard people arguing near the crime scene, but when asked what he saw, he stammered and couldn't answer. This indicates that things often happen in this place, and people dare not get involved.

Du Yuliang received an anonymous tip. It contained information about the three previous cases in the Lower West District. It accused Cui Hongliang, the director of the Lower West District, of being a protective umbrella for a drug trafficking group. As Luo Weizhao said, the locations of these three cases were all in the same area. Perhaps this is why the Special Investigation Team got involved.

Pei Su was the first person to report a case that Luo Weizhao and Tao Ze handled together after graduation. According to the scene investigation, all evidence pointed to his mother's death being a suicide. Pei Su insisted that his mother's death was related to his father. After the case concluded, Luo Weizhao continued to help him investigate despite regulations, but at that time, there was nothing more to find in that case.

They all felt that Pei Su could never let go of his mother's death, perhaps because in his subconscious, he still resented his mother for abandoning him. But he never listened to these words. Over the years, the two have always been at odds, clashing whenever they meet, filled with endless resentment. Pei Su accompanied Zhang Donglan's sister, Zhang Ying, to cooperate with the investigation. At that time, she was interning in economics and trade.

That day, she was tired from working overtime and wanted to buy a coffee. For some reason, someone kept following her. The person also kept asking if she knew someone with the surname Feng. When He Zongyi was beaten, he just held his head and didn't fight back. Zhang Ying was firm that her brother wouldn't kill anyone; he was simply standing up for her.

After Zhang Ying left, Luo Weizhao talked to Pei Su about the case from seven years ago. The doors and windows were locked, there were no signs of forced entry in any room, and the most advanced security system of that era was untouched. She had put on makeup, changed clothes, and even played music. There was a sense of ritual at the scene. A written suicide note was placed on the nearby table.

After examination, the handwriting was confirmed to be the victim's. The person who wrote this letter had clear signs of depression. The victim was an adult, no drugs causing unconsciousness were found in her body, and there were no defensive wounds on her body. This was all the evidence they found seven years ago. Unless Pei Su had concealed some evidence at the time, this was undoubtedly a suicide. He hoped Pei Su would not remain stubbornly misguided.
