Chapter 2059: Unexpected Discoveries

“Divorce?”

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Zixin was a bit surprised.

The situation at the hospital was already overwhelming, and now Zhang Guoping and his wife were planning to divorce.

However, Lin Yi remained calm, unlike Zhang Zixin’s startled reaction.

Zhang Peng nodded and explained,

“This morning, when I went to investigate, I saw them arguing. It turns out that a few days ago, Pang Lanjun went back to her parents’ house and forgot something at home. When she returned, she caught Zhang Guoping out shopping with another woman, and that’s when the argument started.”

“That’s expected. If your husband is cheating, it’s normal to argue,” Zhang Zixin said.

“But who brought up the idea of divorce?”

“It must have been Zhang Guoping,” Zhang Peng answered.

“He’s the main beneficiary of the inheritance. With the money coming in soon, he wouldn’t want to stay with Pang Lanjun, who’s no longer young and attractive, so it’s natural for him to think about divorce.”

“But the money hasn’t even reached his hands yet, and he’s already planning a divorce. Isn’t he celebrating too early?” Lin Yi said calmly.

“I think the issue lies there,” Zhang Zixin suggested.

“Zhang Guoping might have thought of a way to secure the inheritance. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so blatant.”

“So you think the deaths of Li Wenguang and Sui Xin might be connected to him, and that Zhang Guoping is the murderer?” Zhang Peng asked.

“Of course. He’s the primary beneficiary of the inheritance and has the most motive.”

“But the problem is that killing these two people wouldn’t affect the distribution of the inheritance. Based on the current evidence, all the money and property would still go to Zhang Lixia,” Zhang Peng pointed out.

All three falling silent as they realized they were stuck.

The discussion reached a dead end.

Just then, Gu Yiran entered the room while holding a stack of doc.u.ments.

“Hey, Sister Yiran.”

Zhang Peng and Zhang Zixin greeted her. Gu Yiran responded with a nod before addressing the group.

“The investigation results are in. The restaurant and the delivery guy have no issues. The restaurant handed the food directly to the delivery guy, and he delivered it straight to Sui Xin without anyone else handling it. It’s unlikely that the poison was introduced en route.”

Gu Yiran pushed her hair back and continued,

“During the investigation, I also questioned the delivery guy. He mentioned that when he delivered the food, Sui Xin didn’t look well. She had dark circles and bloodshot eyes, like she was sick.”

“How does he remember that so clearly? That’s suspicious,” Zhang Zixin commented.

“That’s pretty normal,” Zhang Peng interjected.

“Sui Xin is very attractive, and she was wearing a low-cut nightgown at the time. Who wouldn’t steal a few glances?”

“Typical pervert,” Zhang Zixin teased.

“Like you’re one to talk. Didn’t you also ogle Brother Lin’s abs when you first saw them?”

“Uh, cough, cough… Brother Lin is different,” Zhang Zixin replied, embarra.s.sed.

“Alright, enough. Let’s get back on track,” Gu Yiran said, redirecting the conversation. “Did you find anything on your end?”

“Not a single clue,” Lin Yi shrugged.

“At this point, all we can do is investigate the people around them and see if we can uncover anything useful.”

“That’s all we can do for now,” Gu Yiran agreed.

“Let’s try a different approach.”

“We’re stuck in a dead end. We definitely need a new strategy,”

Lin Yi spoke while looking at Zhang Peng. “You have all the files on these two families, right?”

“Yeah, I’ve got everything here,” Zhang Peng said, pointing to the stack of files on his desk.

Gu Yiran added her own stack of files to the table.

“These are some files on Sui Xin. Take a look. Her parents are on their way here, so if you need more information, we can ask them soon.”

Lin Yi nodded and began flipping through Sui Xin’s file.

“Her family seems pretty well-off.”

“Indeed,” Gu Yiran confirmed.

“Over the phone, I learned that they were a middle-cla.s.s family with two fully paid-off homes. Last year, their ancestral home was also demolished, and they received over ten million yuan in compensation, which definitely places them in the middle cla.s.s.”

“Could this be a case of murder for financial gain?” Zhang Peng speculated.

“Unlikely,” Lin Yi replied.

“Over ten million yuan isn’t much in Zhonghai; it’s barely enough for a small apartment. Killing someone over that isn’t worth it.”

Gu Yiran nodded in agreement with Lin Yi.

“Besides, the money is all in her parents’ names. Killing Sui Xin wouldn’t help anyone get that money.”

“But her boyfriend doesn’t seem to have much going for him,” Zhang Zixin noted while reading through the file.

“He’s from a rural area and went to an average college. Even though both of their educational backgrounds aren’t great, Sui Xin’s circ.u.mstances were much better than his.”

“Then I bet her boyfriend is really handsome.”

“He’s somewhat good-looking, but if Brother Lin is a 100, this guy barely pa.s.ses,” Zhang Zixin said.

“But he does seem to be quite determined. For a non-elite law school graduate, managing to establish himself in Zhonghai is quite impressive.”

“What about the situation with her boyfriend?”

“He’s very upset, nearly pa.s.sed out from crying, and said that once they catch the killer, he wants to personally handle the case for his girlfriend.”

Lin Yi rubbed his temples and tossed the file back on the desk. Still nothing useful.

But Lin Yi wasn’t ready to give up just yet.

After all, solving cases was his job, and giving up wasn’t an option.

Plus, his current system task likely pointed to this case, so he had to solve it no matter what.

With that in mind, Lin Yi picked up Zhang Guoping’s file and reviewed it again, but it seemed unremarkable.

A few minutes later, however, his expression changed as if he’d noticed something.

“Who is this woman?”

In Zhang Guoping’s file, there was another doc.u.ment about a woman who looked to be in her thirties, with decent looks.

Zhang Peng leaned in to take a look. “Didn’t we mention that Zhang Guoping was cheating? This woman is his mistress, Xu Pingping. Is there something wrong with her file?”

“I know this woman.”

“You know her?”

Lin Yi’s statement piqued the others’ interest.

“She’s a ma.s.seuse at Huaqing Lake, technician number 6. I once had a ma.s.sage from her. Her technique was alright, but her figure wasn’t great—just a B-cup. Plus, she had a bit of an att.i.tude, so I stopped going to her.”

Gu Yiran, “…”

‘What do you mean her figure wasn’t great with just a B-cup?

‘I’m also a B-cup!’

Zhang Zixin straightened her chest.

Being a C-cup gives you this kind of confidence.
