"Are you sure you were kidnapped around ten o'clock?" Zhou Jianye frowned at Song Desheng and asked.
"Definitely, I remember it clearly! Because I happened to look at the time right before I lost consciousness, and it was around ten o'clock," Song Desheng replied.
"Ten o'clock... Hmm, this matter does seem a bit off. How about this, Mr. Song, please wait here for a moment, I'll arrange for someone to investigate right away!" Zhou Jianye said.
"Inspector Zhou, you can arrest Wu Zhiming right now, or you can have him confront me directly!" Song Desheng said.
"Confrontation? That can be arranged!" Zhou Jianye's eyes lit up, then he said, "Wait a moment, I'll have someone find Wu Zhiming right away."
"He might not come, after all, a guilty conscience fears no accusation!" Song Desheng said coldly.
"As long as he dares not to confront you, then... he can't be separated from this case. Don't worry, we police will not let go of any suspect!" Zhou Jianye said, turning to leave.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Song Desheng's mouth. Everything was under his control. As long as Wu Zhiming appeared next, he was confident that Wu Zhiming would become the prime suspect in this case.
Before, Song Desheng hadn't planned to frame Wu Zhiming, but who let Wu Zhiming send someone to kidnap him in the middle of the night. This was truly delivering himself to the doorstep.
On the other side, Wu Zhiming had just gotten up not long ago when he received a call from Dong Jian.
"Master, we've found Uncle Si!" Dong Jian said.
"Did you find out anything?" Wu Zhiming asked.
"No, Uncle Si said that before, they did indeed hear about the goddess of love's earrings and went to Song Desheng's house to try to buy them, but they were rejected by Song Jingsheng and didn't buy them. Later, Song Jingsheng was killed, and they were worried that someone would connect Song Jingsheng's murder with them, so they left Haixia City immediately after that!" Dong Jian said.
"Is what they're saying true?" Wu Zhiming asked.
"From my observation, it doesn't seem to be false, and moreover, I checked their accounts, and there hasn't been any large fund outflow recently, and they didn't find the goddess of love's earrings on them," Dong Jian said.
"Then bring them back first," Wu Zhiming said with a furrowed brow. "If they're not lying, then it's Song Desheng who's lying. In any case, these people will be of some use. By the way, go check on Song Desheng's movements before he bought insurance for those family jewels."
"I've already arranged for someone to check on this before, and I found out a bit of information," Dong Jian said.
"Such as?" Wu Zhiming asked.
"Song Desheng likes to gamble. He went to Xiangjiang City a week ago and reportedly gambled a lot and lost a lot of money," Dong Jian said.
"Lost a lot of money? I think I understand!" Wu Zhiming said with a smile.
Just then, the doorbell at the door suddenly rang.
Wu Zhiming walked to the door and opened it.
Several policemen were standing outside.
Wu Zhiming smiled, put away his phone, and then said, "What? It's only been a day, and you're can't wait to find me?"
"Mr. Wu, we suspect you are related to the previous murder and robbery case of the Song family. Please come with us!" the leading policeman said.
"I was just about to go to the police station. Let's go," Wu Zhiming said.
Seeing Wu Zhiming so compliant, the policemen were a bit surprised, but they still followed the plan and took Wu Zhiming away from the hotel to the police station.
Inside the police station, the last time Wu Zhiming came, he was arranged in Zhou Jianye's office, but this time he was placed in an interrogation room, and in the interrogation room at the same time was Song Desheng.
"You didn't expect to see me here, did you, Wu Zhiming?" Song Desheng said through gritted teeth.
"I really didn't expect this!" Wu Zhiming shrugged and looked at Zhou Jianye, saying, "Inspector Zhou, why did you call both me and Song Desheng here? Is there something wrong?"
"Song Desheng just reported a case saying that you kidnapped him around ten o'clock last night!" Zhou Jianye said.
"What? Kidnapped him?!" Wu Zhiming looked at Song Desheng in surprise and said, "When did I kidnap you last night?"
"Don't play dumb! Wu Zhiming, don't think I don't know you're collecting the three-piece set of the goddess of love. A few days ago, you disguised yourself and approached my grandfather to make an offer to buy the goddess of love's earrings. My grandfather didn't agree, and as a result, my grandfather was killed yesterday. You robbed all our family jewels but didn't find the goddess of love's earrings, so you kidnapped me last night to try to get information about the goddess of love's earrings from me. I've thought everything through, so don't try to argue anymore! You're the murderer!"
"This... Are you dreaming?" Wu Zhiming said with a strange expression. "First of all, I've never bought any goddess of love's earrings from your grandfather. Secondly, about last night... I returned to the hotel around nine o'clock last night and have been here until I was just taken away by the police. Where did I find the time to kidnap you?"
"There was time!" Song Desheng said excitedly to Zhou Jianye, "Inspector Zhou, it was around ten o'clock last night. You only need to check Wu Zhiming's mobile phone signal trajectory, and you'll know that Wu Zhiming was not in the hotel at all around ten o'clock last night!"
"Mr. Wu, you said you were in the hotel around ten o'clock last night. Do you have any evidence?" Zhou Jianye asked. "Of course, there's evidence," Wu Zhiming replied. "Around ten o'clock last night, I spoke to my wife on the phone. Also, at that time, I was watching the TV series 'Moon Slasher' on Haixia Channel 3 in the hotel. I still remember the plot!" "What was the plot?" Zhou Jianye asked. "The plot was XXXXXXX!" Wu Zhiming briefly described the plot of yesterday's TV series 'Moon Slasher'. "Nonsense, you could have just watched the rerun after kidnapping me. Inspector Zhou, check Wu Zhiming's mobile phone signal trajectory right away. You'll definitely find that he's lying!" Song Desheng said. "Mr. Song..." Zhou Jianye frowned at Song Desheng and said, "I won't hide it from you. We've been tracking Mr. Wu's mobile phone signals in real-time since last night. At the time you mentioned, around ten o'clock, Mr. Wu's mobile phone signals were consistently located within the Hilton Hotel. Moreover, at that exact time, Mr. Wu did indeed speak to his wife on the phone, all within the time frame you were kidnapped." "How is that possible?!" Song Desheng exclaimed in shock, "It's impossible, he clearly kidnapped me last night!" "Song Desheng, I know I've offended you before, but using such methods to frame me is really too much. After I entered the hotel yesterday, I didn't leave. The hotel's surveillance can testify to that, not to mention that Inspector Zhou was monitoring me! You've gone to great lengths to frame me. Why? Is it just because I offended you, or are you trying to pin something on me?" "Frame? What am I framing you for? Don't talk nonsense!" Song Desheng said excitedly. "According to the information I received this morning, you went to Xiangjiang City a week ago and gambled heavily there," Wu Zhiming said. "I did go, and Xiangjiang City allows gambling. What's wrong with me gambling there?" Song Desheng asked. "Nothing... It's just that, unfortunately, the information I heard said that you lost a large sum of money in Xiangjiang City, and this amount is counted in hundreds of millions... Although you had wins and losses in Xiangjiang City before, they were only a few million to tens of millions, and never over a hundred million! I heard that your grandfather called you to his office that night and scolded you severely," Wu Zhiming said. "That's not true! My grandfather didn't know I went to Xiangjiang City to gamble!" Song Desheng said excitedly. "Then did you really lose a large sum of money in Xiangjiang City?" Zhou Jianye, who was beside him, asked with a furrowed brow. "This..." Song Desheng was a bit embarrassed for a moment. "After losing a large sum of money in Xiangjiang City, you convinced your grandfather to insure your family's jewelry. Not long after the insurance was purchased, a murder and robbery case occurred. Don't you think this is a bit of a coincidence?" Wu Zhiming asked with narrowed eyes. "This has nothing to do with me. Whether it's a coincidence or not, how would I know? Insuring jewelry is something every jewelry collector would do! The reason I insured our family's jewelry was because their previous insurance had expired, and my grandfather said the value of those jewels was higher than before, so I bought a larger insurance policy!" Song Desheng said. "Then do you remember what you just said to me?" Wu Zhiming asked. "What did I say to you?" Song Desheng asked. "You said that I previously disguised myself and wanted to buy your grandfather's goddess of love's earrings, and then you said I didn't buy them, so I kidnapped you. I have a question for you. Where did the goddess of love's earrings go?" Wu Zhiming asked. "They were sold by my grandfather a few days ago!" Song Desheng said. "Sold by your grandfather? Then there must be a destination. Who was it sold to, and for how much? These should all be recorded. I'd like to ask you, where are these records?" Wu Zhiming asked. "How would I know, my grandfather sold them, not me!" Song Desheng shook his head. "Inspector Zhou, I've actually found the key to the whole thing," Wu Zhiming said. "Where's the key?" Zhou Jianye asked. "The key to this matter lies in the disappeared goddess of love's earrings. Those earrings are invaluable. If Song Desheng's grandfather really sold this pair of earrings, there must have been a huge amount of money flowing in. Just check Song Jingsheng's recent bank account records, and we can know whether he sold the goddess of love's earrings or not. If he did, we can trace the buyer through the bank records. If he didn't, then... we'll have to ask our Mr. Song Desheng some serious questions." Wu Zhiming smiled mysteriously at Song Desheng. Song Desheng's back was drenched with sweat in an instant.
