Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group Chapter 1244 - 1219: The Culprit Turns Out to Be Her

Upon hearing this, Zhou Susu looked at Ye Chen with a puzzled expression and asked, "Ye Chen, are we leaving now?"

"Yes," Ye Chen replied.

Hearing the conversation between the two, Little Jing had a disappointed look on her face.

She felt genuinely happy playing with Ye Chen; it was a heartfelt feeling.

"Little Jing, I also have some things to do; I’ll come see you another day," Zhou Susu said with a smile.

Although she had questions in her heart, she knew she couldn’t ask them in front of Little Jing.

Watching Ye Chen and Zhou Susu walk out of the room, Little Jing got off the bed and ran out as well.

For Little Jing’s safety, she couldn’t leave the room and could only see Ye Chen and Zhou Susu off at the door.

After they left, Little Jing returned to her previous state, curling up in a corner of the kitchen.

The policeman responsible for protecting Little Jing was anxious, but he didn’t know what to do.

After all, the girl’s emotions were very unstable, and he was afraid that any move or word might trigger her sensitive nerves.

After Zhou Susu and Ye Chen walked out of the building, the two of them got into the car.

Thinking about the information he just got from Little Jing, Ye Chen couldn’t help but sigh.

He thought this little girl was really pitiful.

"Ye Chen, why did you leave without even asking?" Zhou Susu said anxiously.

"I already know who the killer is now," Ye Chen said with a determined expression.

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Zhou Susu looked at the man in front of her, half-believing.

How could this be possible? He found out everything just by playing with Little Jing for a while; this is simply too unscientific.

Zhou Susu had solved cases for so many years and had never encountered such a situation.

"Ye Chen, you must be joking with me. I know you couldn’t bear to question Little Jing after seeing her. I can understand your feelings," Zhou Susu said with a forlorn expression.

Although Zhou Susu wanted to solve the case, she never forced Little Jing. Whenever she felt Little Jing’s emotions were off, she immediately stopped questioning.

"Susu, I’m not joking with you; everything I said is true," Ye Chen said seriously.

Then he sighed and said, "Ah, the killer is Little Jing’s aunt."

"Little Jing’s aunt, how is that possible? She’s been abroad all this time, and from what we understand, she was very loving to Little Jing before. She had a very good relationship with Little Jing’s parents; it couldn’t possibly be true."

In fact, Zhou Susu couldn’t be blamed for not believing it; mainly because Ye Chen hadn’t done anything related to the investigation, yet he casually said who the killer was.

"Ah, you’re just too naive. Haven’t you heard the saying, ’You can’t judge a book by its cover’? Some people disguise themselves and will do anything to achieve their goals," Ye Chen suddenly said.

Even though Ye Chen said this, Zhou Susu still couldn’t believe it.

They had previously investigated Little Jing’s parents’ situation. The couple co-owned a company, were warm people, had no enemies, and got along well with relatives and friends.

They also investigated the people around the couple. Little Jing’s mom also had a sister, which is the aunt Ye Chen mentioned. The sisters had a very good relationship. Since Little Jing was born, her aunt had loved her as if she were her own.

Similarly, the aunt and uncle also ran a company.

Zhou Susu didn’t understand; if what Ye Chen said was true, then what would be the aunt’s motive for murder? There was no reason at all.

"Ye Chen, I still can’t quite believe it. You say Little Jing’s aunt is the killer, but what would be her motive?" Zhou Susu asked.

"Of course, it’s for money; what else?" Ye Chen glanced at Zhou Susu.

Hearing Ye Chen say this, Zhou Susu laughed and said, "Ye Chen, if you put it like this, it’s not right. Little Jing’s aunt owns a company and is very profitable. How could it be for money?"

"Ah, what you see is only the surface. In fact, after these years of operation, that company is nothing but an empty shell. The aunt and uncle owe a lot of debt. If you don’t believe me, you can check to find out."

After hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhou Susu was deep in thought.

Because Little Jing’s aunt was always abroad and the sisters had such a good relationship, both ran a company, so they didn’t suspect in that direction.

With the suspicion of the aunt basically being ruled out, they didn’t even think about checking the company’s situation.

If that’s the case, it indeed should be checked, especially since the police currently had no other leads.

"Okay, Ye Chen, I’ll go back and check," Zhou Susu nodded and said.

Ye Chen used his empathy skills to get all the information he wanted from Little Jing, feeling everything as if he were there.

He was aware that while Little Jing’s aunt appeared to be on good terms with Little Jing’s mother outwardly, she harbored murderous intentions against their family. This was especially true now that the aunt was burdened with significant debt.

To bring her to justice, the crucial evidence proving her guilt, which was hidden within the teddy bear gifted by Little Jing’s mother, needed to be recovered.

Ye Chen, however, was not a police officer. Without Zhou Susu guiding him, he could not gain access to the crime scene.

He suspected that if he informed Zhou Susu about the teddy bear, she likely wouldn't believe him. Furthermore, he couldn't simply search the residence without a valid reason.

As the saying goes, what one person conceals is impossible for a hundred people to find.

"Ye Chen, let's go."

Zhou Susu’s voice cut through Ye Chen’s train of thought.

Ye Chen and Zhou Susu entered the car and started the engine.

The vehicle made its way towards the police station. With some preliminary leads in hand, they intended to commence their investigation without delay.

After a short while, the car came to a halt in front of the police station.

Zhou Susu exited the vehicle, but Ye Chen remained seated. He waved goodbye to her and departed.

After all, Ye Chen had his own important matters to attend to and could not always be present to assist her in solving cases.

Although Zhou Susu wished for his continued presence during the investigation, she ultimately refrained from expressing it.

The words that were almost spoken, Zhou Susu held them back.

Upon leaving the police station, Ye Chen did not head home. Instead, his objective became finding a teddy bear identical to the one Little Jing possessed.

The image of that particular teddy bear was etched deeply into Ye Chen’s memory.

He visited the toy section of a nearby supermarket but could not locate the exact teddy bear.

Ye Chen proceeded to several other toy stores, yet the teddy bear remained elusive.

Just as disappointment began to set in and he was about to leave, his gaze fell upon a store not far away. At its entrance, the very same teddy bear was displayed.

With a surge of excitement visible on his face, Ye Chen hurried towards the store.

It truly felt as though he had effortlessly found something that others had been tirelessly seeking.

The store owner extended a warm greeting as Ye Chen entered.

"Sir, is there anything I can assist you with today?"

"I want that teddy bear," Ye Chen stated, pointing directly at the toy hanging near the entrance.
