Chapter 231 - 231 Target Locked
231 Target Locked
Zhang Nan’s eyes almost fell out of his head. He stared at the screen in confusion for a long time and saw that she was referring to a man in a white shirt. He thought for a moment and muttered in a daze, “This is my colleague, Little Dong.”
“Which Little Dong?” When Wu Zheng heard this surname, he finally sensed that something was amiss, and grabbed his wrist excitedly.
Zhang Nan was frightened by his reaction. He tried to retract his hand, but could not budge it at all. He almost cried in terror. “That’s Dong Chang, who works in our company’s finance department. What does this have to do with him?”
Zhang Nan had a good working relationship with Dong Chang. Firstly, Dong Chang was an important figure in the finance department. Many of the company accounts required his approval. Cultivating a good relationship with him could only be advantageous.
Secondly, Dong Chang was humble and polite. Unlike some of the hooligans in the company’s sales department, he always treated people warmly and politely, so that people wanted to befriend him.
Moreover, he had once eavesdropped on Dong Chang’s phone conversation with his mother and discovered that Dong Chang was also related to the Chengxi Branch. Naturally, he would seize any opportunity to interact with Dong Chang. He always brought Dong Chang along when he went out for dinner with his colleagues.
It was just that Dong Chang was a scrupulous person and did not like to get involved with the women in bars, so Zhang Nan sometimes felt that he was quite boring.
When Wu Zheng and Shen Yin heard this person’s name, they subconsciously thought of the man Shen Luo had mentioned, who had saved her in the private room that night.
If they were really the same person, then it was too much of a coincidence for Dong Chang to have appeared in the police’s sights twice. If it was not a coincidence, that could only mean that Dong Chang was a major suspect.
Wu Zheng took out his phone and quickly dialed Zou Sheng’s number. He asked him to immediately investigate the Dong Chang, who worked in the finance department of the insurance company, and pull out his identity and background details for review.
Zou Sheng was also about to report this person to Wu Zheng. When he and Meng Heng went to the bar just now, they were unable to obtain any substantive evidence from the surveillance footage. However, they discovered who were the customers that Shen Luo and Zhuang Meng had received that night.
Among these people, only one of them had held himself aloof, deliberately keeping a distance from his colleagues. It matched the image of the savior that Shen Luo had described.
So he had already obtained this person’s information. When he heard Wu Zheng’s question, he immediately sent the key points of what he had found to Wu Zheng’s phone.
In order to save time, Zou Sheng picked out the salient points and read them to Wu Zheng. “This Dong Chang was a good student since he was young. He’s introverted and shy. His classmates have a good opinion of him. However, when he was in junior high school, his father was arrested for prostitution, causing him to be mocked by his classmates. He was bullied in school, so his mother transfered him to another school. She thought that a change of environment would reduce his trauma, but he grew even more morose. There was a month when he didn’t even speak .”
“How did you learn all this?” Wu Zheng asked with a frown.
He had not expected Zou Sheng to obtain so much information on Dong Chang in such a short time.
On the other end of the line, Zou Sheng was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he sighed and said, “Boss, we’ve found Dong Chang’s mother. She told us all this. His mother is none other than the canteen lady from the Chengxi Branch.”
Wu Zheng was shocked. He looked at Shen Yin and instantly thought of their guess that day in the office. “Got it. Get some people to bring Dong Chang back to the police station first. Dr. Shen and I will go back immediately.”
The case was clear now. If there was no other incidents, all they had to do was to compare Dong Chang’s DNA with the DNA left by the murderer at the crime scene and the case would be closed. However, there were some details that needed Dong Chang to clear up personally.
Wu Zheng hung up the phone and turned to leave. At this moment, Zhang Nan finally realized the seriousness of the matter. He grabbed Wu Zheng’s hand tightly and refused to let go. He trembled as he asked with a terrified expression, “Could Little Dong be Zhao Lu’s murderer?”
“We need to investigate the case further.” Wu Zheng frowned and did not intend to say anything more to him. He turned around and was about to leave, but Zhang Nan grabbed him again. He turned back to look at him impatiently. “What’s wrong now?”
“I-I still have something to say!” Zhang Nan gulped, his eyes bulging. He could not be blamed for being timid. Anyone would be frightened when they suddenly realized that their good friend was a murderer.
“What do you want to say?” Shen Yin stopped in her tracks and quietly looked at the frightened man in front of her.
Zhang Nan looked at Shen Yin and muttered, “I remember now. I forgot to mention that when Zhao Lu and I were on a date yesterday, we bumped into Dong Chang. He met Zhao Lu and Zhao Lu also knows that he’s my colleague. Do you think that’s why she texted me?”
