Chapter 40: Major Discoveries
Li Jian hurried back to the detective office and handed over the USB flash drive duplicator to Ah Chao. Zeng Lei breathed a sigh of relief, although he had also been contradictory and hesitant, but at this time he knew that the investigation of the case was the most important. He would rather be misunderstood and ostracized by his fellow police academy and colleagues in the police force than give up any chance to solve the case.
In the detective office, Ah Chao opened the video of Bai Xiaoli's trial before her disappearance. Zeng Lei looked at it over and over again, and he decided to start with the details, looking for clues brought by all resources, and finally he found some clues.
In the courtroom, Bai Xiaoli, who was confused, stood helplessly in the dock after being charged with intentional injury, and the calm lawyer Chen Haoming skillfully defended Bai Xiaoli, and in the face of the evidence and various questions raised by the prosecutor, Chen Haoming answered fluently. In the end, he won the case.
Zeng Lei saw that when the judge read out the result of the trial that Bai Xiaoli was acquitted, Bai Xiaoli and lawyer Chen Haoming looked at each other for a few seconds, which had a different flavor. When Ah Chao on the side saw Zeng Lei repeatedly watching this scene, he couldn't help but blurt out: "This lawyer is not simple, not only is he handsome, but he is also a master of flirting with girls!" Zeng Lei also nodded approvingly and said: "He is indeed a very attractive man." ”
Zeng Lei also observed that in the hearing room at that time, there was a young, beautiful mysterious woman sitting in the corner with an elegant professional temperament. The woman was wearing a navy blue lace dress, her hair was pulled back at the back, and her face with light makeup had a serious expression. During the trial, the woman kept staring at Bai Xiaoli with a strange look, and walked out of the courtroom alone after the court.
Zeng Lei immediately recalled that he had seen this woman at the door of Chen Haoming's villa, when she was sitting alone in a red car, waiting for the reporters to leave before getting out of the car, and walked into the villa with a heavy heart. Zeng Lei remembered that he had heard Ding Lu say that Chen Haoming had a doctor girlfriend. Zeng Lei guessed that this woman was likely to be Chen Haoming's doctor's girlfriend.
This major discovery rekindled Zeng Lei's infinite suspicion of Chen Haoming in his heart.
Early the next morning, Zeng Lei drove to the door of Chen Haoming's villa and waited, looking forward to the result he expected. Sure enough, when Zuo Tongtong walked out of the villa, Zeng Lei recognized her at a glance as the woman he saw at the door of the villa last time, and the mysterious woman in the trial video.
Zeng Lei followed the woman in a car and followed Zuo Tongtong all the way to Zuo Tongtong's private clinic. Zeng Lei called Ah Chao's phone: "Ah Chao, help me check my personal ......"
Zeng Lei returned to the detective office, and Ah Chao had already found out the legal representative of this private clinic and identified it as Zuo Tongtong. Zuo Tongtong's private file was transferred out, and it was found out that Zuo Tongtong worked in the city hospital after graduating from university and was a very potential doctor. The two became boyfriend and girlfriend because of this.
Everything seems to be logical, but Zeng Lei saw some clues from it. Since Zuo Tongtong is the girlfriend of lawyer Chen Haoming, it is normal to go to the trial to cheer for her boyfriend. But why did she keep staring at the defendant Bai Xiaoli with such weird eyes during the trial? It wasn't a friendly look, it was hostile. What does she have to do with Bai Xiaoli? Why did you walk out of the courtroom alone after the trial?
