Su Xuan might have gone off to rest, but the case had to continue. Whether it was Chuanzi or Chen Jianxun, they both had to face the consequences of their actions. However, before that could happen, Zhou Qiang contacted Zheng Qin.
Upon learning that they were preparing for Zhou Hao’s funeral the next day, he hesitated for a moment, deciding to postpone the matter. He then contacted Zhou’s father and mother, asking them to come over after Zhou Hao’s funeral.
The reason was that Zhou Hao had died in another city, and even if they wanted to bring his body back, it would be quite troublesome. So, Zhou’s parents were planning to have him cremated locally, and as for the funeral… that would be discussed later.
The customs in their rural hometown were strict, and they needed to prepare for the funeral properly. When Zhou Qiang called them, they were quite anxious, even suspecting that the police had found the culprit who killed their son, bombarding him with a series of questions.
The situation had become somewhat complicated. Zhou Qiang had originally intended to wait until Zhou Hao was cremated the next day before discussing this with his parents. However, in the midst of their questioning, Zhou Qiang decided to tell them about Chen Jianxun’s involvement.
Zhou’s father and mother, who had been grieving the loss of their son, were stunned upon hearing this news.
“Officer…”
“What did you say?”
“Are you telling me I still have another son?”Please visit 𝓃𝑜𝓋𝓮𝓁-𝒏𝑒xt.c0m website to read fastest update
“It can’t be… my son has been dead for a long time, and there’s only one left…”
Zhao Laidi exclaimed in shock.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Qiang felt somewhat dazed. He was even tempted to rush and arrange for the test immediately. He hadn’t expected Zhou’s parents to request a paternity test right away, without considering Zhou Hao.
After all, they hadn’t even waited for Zhou Hao’s cremation.
“Why didn’t they consider Zhou Hao?” Zhou Qiang couldn’t help but complain to Su Xuan through voice messages.
Su Xuan promptly replied, “What is there to consider? On one hand, you have a living child who is highly likely to be their biological child. On the other hand, you have a child who has already died and will be cremated tomorrow. If you were a parent, who would you choose?”
As Zhou Qiang listened to Su Xuan’s response, he realized that he wasn’t oblivious to the situation. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have considered waiting until after Zhou Hao’s cremation to inform them. It’s just that he hadn’t anticipated how urgently they wanted to conduct the paternity test. At this point, Zhou Qiang even doubted whether the deceased’s cremation tomorrow would go ahead as planned. It wasn’t that he was intentionally painting a bleak picture of human nature; sometimes, human nature could be like this.
“Now is not the time to hesitate,” Su Xuan said. “Since Zhou’s parents already know about this, we need to act quickly and uncover the person behind all of this.”
Su Xuan took a sip of his milk tea and continued. He had been hoping for a little rest, but it seemed that he would have to work a bit longer. Well, he could rest properly once this matter was resolved. He realized he hadn’t had a day off in a while, and with this continuous overtime, he might even get an extra day off.
With that thought in mind, Su Xuan was reenergized. He assigned Zhou Qiang to handle the paternity test and took it upon himself to investigate the phone number. However, tracing a person through a phone number could be challenging, especially when it was an internet-based number.
If the person was not too clever, they might use their own phone number connected to their identity card, which would make things easier. But in this case, it was clear that it was an internet-based number.
Su Xuan sighed, thinking about the downsides of the parallel universe he had found himself in. One of the drawbacks was the abundance of internet-based phone numbers. Even before he crossed over, internet-based phone services were just starting to gain popularity, far from being as widely used as they were here on Blue Star.
In this world, internet-based phone numbers had become a common tool for various scams, and authorities had become strict in cracking down on such activities. It had become all too easy for scammers to target unsuspecting victims with these numbers.
Su Xuan realized he had strayed from the main issue and refocused his efforts on tracing the elusive internet-based phone number.
Su Xuan stared at the phone number that even the police department couldn’t trace, took a drag from his cigarette, and walked outside. His meager points had hit rock bottom due to this case, and he had no intention of wasting any more on something that seemed impossible to investigate.
He inhaled deeply on his cigarette, frustration evident in his eyes. When he turned to go back inside, his gaze was filled with cold determination.. He couldn’t believe that with all his years of experience in police work, he couldn’t find a lead in this case!
