"There's also the con artist who sold that bogus remedy to Zhou Dahua's family. Even though so much time has passed, we still need to investigate and see if we can dig that person out."

"So, once we head down, Liao Xingyu, you and a few others should interrogate Zhou Dahua's mother, Liao Juan, and ask about the specifics."

Although Zhou Dahua's mother and wife did not directly participate in killing Zhou Kaieri, as informants, they did not stop the illegal acts and instead adopted a compliant attitude.

Moreover, they did not report it afterward, but openly concealed it.

Under current law, their actions also constitute a violation, so following the confessions of Zhou Dahua and his son, both mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were arrested and detained according to the law.

But considering her two twin children, Zhou Dahua's wife was temporarily sent back home.

Before the case is ruled on, she is required to report to the local police station periodically and is forbidden from leaving her household's registered area.

For this result, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have cried several times, begging Zhao Donglai in words and deeds to show leniency to their family.

Everyone's view of their shamelessness hit a new low, and sympathy for this family was out of the question.

After leaving the office, Liao Xingyu and Li Jun indeed interrogated Liao Juan.

After so much time had passed, Liao Juan couldn't recall many details, and she had paid in cash with no contact information for the person.

Subsequently, Liao Xingyu and others visited Guangyuan County, trying to gather more clues according to her description.

It's unfortunate that the so-called miracle doctor was merely a street con artist who fled immediately after scamming one place.

Having spent some time searching without significant progress, they had no choice but to give up.

As the case of Zhou Dahua and his son was successfully transferred to the prosecutor's office, their family awaited the severe consequences of the law.

In this case, the worst off was Zhou Daming.

His son died, his wife was gone, his mother took poison and committed suicide, leaving only him and an elderly father to rely on each other.

It's no exaggeration to say that his home is ruined and his family perished.

The only solace for him was perhaps that Luo Fei and his team caught the murderer, ensuring Zhou Kaieri didn't die in vain.

To show his gratitude, Zhou Daming found time to send the police a banner.

"Officers, thank you for capturing the killer, avenging my family, thank you!"

Handing the banner to Zhao Donglai, Zhou Daming insisted on kneeling and knocking his head in gratitude, his eyes reddened, while Liao Xingyu and others were momentarily unable to help him up.

At this moment, the man in his thirties cried loudly in the criminal police team's lobby, like a child.

Everyone felt heartbroken by his plight, offering words of comfort one after another for quite a while.

Until Zhou Daming finally left.

Watching his forlorn figure, Liao Xingyu sighed heavily, "He's a pitiable man. Who knows how long it'll take for him to completely move past this ordeal."

"It's going to be tough. These things have a lifetime impact… sigh, if you ask me, those black-hearted father and son deserved a thousand cuts!"

"Exactly, having relatives like this is the worst luck!"

"I still can't understand what they were thinking. When a simple surgery could have fixed the illness, why resort to such inhumane acts?"

Listening to everyone's outraged discussions, Zhao Donglai couldn't help but muse, "That's why I insisted on becoming a criminal police officer."

"More than those accolades, I most enjoy when I can personally bring criminals to justice and offer victims their due fairness."

His words instantly resonated with everyone present.

"Zhao's words certainly struck a chord with us."

"Since I've been a police officer, there's nothing more joyful than seeing justice served and the victims' grievances resolved."

"Haha, I feel the same way."

"Since we all think alike, let's stop dithering and tackle the next case right away!"

"Right, didn't Zhao previously bring back several dossiers? Let's work hard and crack them all, shall we?"

"Zhou Fan, you've asked the wrong person." Luo Xinyu teased, "For case-solving, you should ask Luo Fei directly; we merely run errands at best."

Upon hearing this, Luo Fei quickly chuckled, "Liao team leader, don't joke around. I merely offer some investigative ideas; it's the whole team's joint effort that solves cases, not just me..."

Before he could finish, Li Jun placed a hand on his arm.

"Luo Fei, no need for modesty; we know your capabilities."

"That's right, instead of being humble, lead us in solving several more cases. That's constructive."

"Right, right, you're spot on. Let's go study the files now..."

Having grown close with Luo Fei, everyone felt free to joke openly.

They immediately hooked their arms around Luo Fei's shoulders and headed toward the meeting room.

Zhao Donglai was certainly delighted to see Luo Fei's good rapport with everyone.

Then he smiled and called them back, "Hold on, no need to study those files now. There's a homicide case in Baiyang County's Red River Town that the local criminal police team couldn't handle, so they've asked for our help."

"After lunch, come along with me to check out the situation."

"Baiyang County? What homicide case is it, Zhao? Tell us about the case details first."

"The victim is a female high school student from Red River Town, found dead in the bathtub of her home on the evening of June 30. After forensic examination, large residues of sleeping pills were found in her stomach."
