Chapter 899 An Almost Forgotten Wife
Zhou Ze's hearing was much better than that of ordinary people. After all, even without entering the zombie state, his body had been broken and repaired repeatedly over the past few years, and his physical fitness was already far beyond ordinary people.
Moreover, the two police officers didn't seem to know that Zhou Ze had already entered the room, so they didn't hold back when they spoke.
When the female detective and the deputy captain walked in and saw Zhou Ze standing inside, they were clearly stunned.
The scene was a bit awkward.
The deputy captain coughed and said,
"Mr. Xu, I'd like to have a chat with you. Don't worry, it's not a summons, just to get some information from you."
"Sure, I also want to know more about the situation."
Zhou Ze nodded and agreed directly.
Whether it was the comparison results from the police or Bai Hu's (White Fox) nose, it was difficult for them to be wrong about this kind of thing. Now that both leads pointed to him, he really needed to ask about it.
The meeting place was on the floor below in the same apartment building. Coincidentally, a clerk from the bureau and his girlfriend rented a place here, and they volunteered to provide it as a temporary police office.
Everyone else went out,
Leaving only the deputy captain and the female detective surnamed Lü sitting opposite Zhou Ze.
Three cups of water were on the table.
Zhou Ze silently picked up the water cup, took a sip, and said,
"Let's begin. Ask whatever you want."
"First of all, we need to confirm your location between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. on the 28th? It would be best if you could be as detailed as possible."
That was yesterday; since it's past midnight now, it should be the day before yesterday afternoon.
Xiao Lü looked at the deputy captain beside her with some surprise, opened her mouth to say something, but stopped herself.
She knew that this was asking about Zhou Ze's alibi for the previous case.
Although the current case was very similar to the previous serial crimes in terms of method and steps, the possibility of copycat crimes could not be ruled out.
In short, even though she, Xiao Lü, was watching outside the bookstore this time, and it was certain that Zhou Ze was not involved, it could not be ruled out that Zhou Ze had committed the crime the last time, when the semen was discovered.
Zhou Ze recalled, and said,
"At that time, I was in Huai'an, at the 4S shop on Beijing North Road in Qinghe District;
My car broke down and I sent it there for repairs, at about 4:30;
Around 5:30, I booked a room in the Home Inn hotel next to the 4S shop and stayed there overnight. It's the one at the entrance of the old campus of Huaiyin Institute of Technology.
The 4S shop's receipt and its surveillance, including the hotel front desk's check-in records and surveillance, can all prove it. Your police can retrieve them. It's only been less than two days, so they should still be there."
From Huai'an to Tongcheng, it takes four hours by train and more than three hours by car, and there are no direct flights. This evidence was enough to prove that Boss Zhou could not have been in Tongcheng when the last case occurred.
The deputy captain nodded and then breathed a sigh of relief. He wasn't that familiar with Zhou Ze, but Zhou Ze, who had been invited by two captains (actually one person) to be a consultant for the police局, was already considered half of their own, and there was definitely a bit of emotional inclination as long as it didn't violate the records.
"Xiao Lü, call the comrades in Qinghe District of Huai'an and ask them to help confirm."
"Okay, Captain."
Xiao Lü got up, took the phone, and walked out of the room.
The deputy captain interlaced his fingers a few times and said, "I hope you don't think we're being offensive."
"No, I also want to get to the bottom of this. Also, I'm curious, did you say earlier that the semen left in the last case matched my DNA?"
"Yes, confirmed to match. In addition, the DNA comparison results for this case should be out soon."
The DNA testing time for civilian use is definitely long. There is a series of procedures to go through from application to submission to testing and then to getting the results. But the police side naturally doesn't have these complicated procedures, and it can come out in two or three hours.
The national DNA database has not yet been fully established, but it has been popularized in some specific groups in recent years. The first is people with criminal records, and the second is the families of trafficked or missing persons.
Boss Zhou had been caught by the police before due to some misunderstandings, and therefore left his records.
"Mr. Xu, the problem is a bit complicated now. If we rule out that you committed the crime, then there is only one possibility left, and that is that someone is deliberately framing you."
Speaking of this,
Even the deputy captain of the criminal police team felt a little incredible.
He had seen people using forged fingerprints or other things to frame others,
But using semen to frame someone was really the first time he had seen it in his career.
Moreover, this thing had surpassed the meaning of close-fitting clothing or accessories;
How could it be lent to others or taken away by others without anyone knowing?
Although some evidence had not been verified, the deputy captain already roughly believed that Zhou Ze had been wronged. He still had the experience of looking at people and evidence. After thinking about it, he said again:
"Mr. Xu, have you had any enemies recently? Or have you had conflicts with others in the business world or in other aspects? Or have you encountered any strange people?"
Strange people?
The rare person among the people around him is the one who is not strange, right?
As for enemies,
Which enemy would be bored enough to disgust himself in this way?
Zhou Ze shook his head and said, "I'm just a bookstore owner, always following the principles of harmony brings wealth and being kind to others."
The deputy captain nodded and didn't continue to ask.
After sitting like this for a while, Xiao Lü came back and said, "The comrades over there have confirmed that you were indeed in Huai'an when the last case occurred."
In fact, Zhou Ze knew in his heart that if it weren't for his identity as a police consultant and Xiao Lü was staring at him at the door of the bookstore when this case occurred, he might have been arrested and controlled by the police as a major suspect.
Although Boss Zhou wasn't afraid of this, he didn't want to lose this identity in order to continue to maintain this habitual life in reality.
This matter could not be solved by burning more ghost money. Not to mention how much ghost money would have to be burned, just the disgusting feeling was already very uncomfortable.
At this time, the deputy captain received a phone call, and then, his eyes on Zhou Ze changed, becoming very... conflicted.
After hanging up the phone,
He pursed his lips and didn't rush to speak.
"The appraisal results are out?"
"Yes, they are out, and they match yours again."
"Heh."
Zhou Ze picked up the water cup on the table,
Drank all the water inside,
And then calmly put down the cup.
The guy causing trouble was really courting death!
"Mr. Xu, please wait here for a moment. We have a few things that need to be dealt with. Don't misunderstand, it's not an arrest."
It was impossible to be an arrest, Zhou Ze had perfect alibis for both cases, one of which was proven by the police. The fact was very clear, but because the inside story was too complicated and the relationship with Zhou Ze was too profound, the police had to be cautious.
"I understand."
Zhou Ze reached out and rubbed his eyebrows,
And continued to sit in place.
He was thinking,
About the person whose DNA matched his,
The first person that came to Zhou Ze's mind was the Death Servant,
After all, the Death Servant had mixed his ashes with rice, and his regeneration was too closely related to himself.
But then he thought it was wrong,
If it was the Death Servant,
Then it shouldn't be him.
What was related to the Death Servant should be his body from his previous life. Even if things like DNA really matched, it should be himself from his previous life.
It couldn't be a coincidence either. Even for twins with a direct blood relationship, DNA could not be 100% identical. It could only be said that the degree of similarity would be much greater.
In this world, the probability of two unrelated people having identical DNA is hundreds of millions of times lower than winning the lottery for five million.
If it wasn't the Death Servant, then it was Xu Le's body, but the real Xu Le was already dead. His body was the initial version of his current body.
Boss Zhou was still confused. What was going on?
Even if another illegitimate child appeared, he could understand it a little, but the current situation was that there was a guy who was exactly the same as him!
As for deliberately stealing and storing his semen, keeping it frozen and fresh, and deliberately leaving it at the scene of the crime to frame himself...
That was impossible.
Since his rebirth,
Boss Zhou's personal private life had been absolutely clean.
He had never looked for women outside, so naturally there could be no residue.
After a while,
The deputy captain came back again,
And said:
"Mr. Xu, according to our regulations, we have notified your family members to come over. You can sign and leave first, but because of this special reason, it is best not to leave Tongcheng during this period of time to cooperate with our investigation..."
"Family?"
"Yes, your wife."
"I'm not married."
"Huh? But the information I have about you states that you are married, and your wife has just arrived here."
"How is that possible? How could I not know if I'm married or not..."
Boss Zhou's words were stuck,
That's right,
He was indeed married, he did have a legal wife. He said he wanted a divorce, but because the divorce agreement hadn't been received, they hadn't actually divorced in the true sense;
The deputy captain looked at Zhou Ze with some doubt. He himself felt that discussing this topic seemed a bit strange, but he still said:
"You don't even remember whether you're married or not?"
Zhou Ze reached out and touched his forehead,
And smiled bitterly,
And said:
"To be honest, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have completely forgotten..."

In the previous chapter, Xiao Lü should have called Zhou Ze "Mr. Xu" instead of "Boss Zhou." It has now been corrected.
