"Did you find out who he transferred the money to?"
"We did. The person is Ye Lin, a female, 20 years old, from Luoping City, Taian Province."
"Taian Province?" Zhao Donglai was a bit surprised. "What's the relationship between these two?"
It's worth knowing that there is over a thousand kilometers between Taian Province and Jiangzhou City, and why a man like Zheng Kai, who hasn't left the city for decades, suddenly transferred so much money to her?
"We don't know yet, but the data shows there's no contact between the two, and Ye Lin has always lived in Luoping City, so logically they should be complete strangers."
After He Xin spoke, everyone present felt that there was something strange about it.
Zhou Fan thought for a moment and speculated, "Could it be a case of online romance scam?"
As the internet develops, various online scams have emerged, and online romance is one of them.
Faced with this suspicion, Zhao Donglai could not help but nod, "It's not impossible..."
At this moment, Luo Fei suddenly asked, "Earlier when we visited the locals, Zheng Kai's second uncle mentioned his first love was from Luoping City. Captain Zhao, do you think there's a connection between Ye Lin and his first love?"
"Your speculation is reasonable. So, Zhou Fan, you contact the cyber police team and have them monitor the chat apps between Zheng Kai and Ye Lin."
"Luo Fei, you investigate Ye Lin and Zheng Kai first love's personal details to confirm the relationship among these three people."
"Understood."
Watching Luo Fei and Zhou Fan leaving, Zhou Dabao hurriedly said, "Captain Zhao, we'll also go to help."
He said this with some frustration.
If it turns out Zheng Kai truly has problems, it would be embarrassing since they had suspected him earlier.
After going out, everyone immediately contacted the local police to help gather information on Ye Lin's family.
The other side readily agreed.
While waiting for feedback, Luo Fei reviewed Ye Lin's registration information.
Ye Lin, from Mao Ping Town, Liqun County, Luoping City.
Besides her father, Ye Daqiang, who is still alive, her mother, Zhou Wei, died of illness six months ago, and her residency was deregistered by the local police.
Fortunately, Luo Fei found a young-time ID photo of Zhou Wei in the system library.
He took a photo with his phone and sent it to Zhang Wei's phone, "Zhang Wei, go visit Zheng Kai's relatives again to see what his first love's name was and if it was Ye Lin's mother."
"Alright, team leader, we'll go right now."
The group hurried out.
About half an hour later, the Luoping City police had the results.
With accurate intelligence in hand, Luo Fei reported to Zhao Donglai as soon as possible.
"Ye Lin's father, Ye Daqiang, is hunchbacked or disabled, unable to earn money. Over the years, the family has depended on Zhou Wei to farm alone, earning a meager income."
"Due to poor economic conditions at home, Ye Lin's childhood was very unfortunate. She was forced to drop out of school in junior high to work and make money to support the family."
"The village officials stated that Ye Lin's parents' relationship wasn't good either. It's said Ye Lin isn't Ye Daqiang's biological child, so when Zhou Wei was alive, Ye Daqiang often abused her."
"Therefore, after Zhou Wei passed away, Ye Lin went to the city to work in a restaurant and never returned to the village."
Zhao Donglai urgently asked, "Was there anything about whose child Ye Lin is?"
"It is said that Zhou Wei had a boyfriend while working outside when she was young, and Ye Lin is his child. However, for some reason, the two split, and Zhou Wei returned to the village with a three-month pregnancy."
"Back in those days, premarital pregnancy was seen as shameful, so Zhou Wei's parents hurriedly married her to the village invalid, Ye Daqiang, to cover up."
"Initially, Ye Daqiang was happy to be a father. Given his circumstances, marrying the beautiful and capable Zhou Wei was beyond his imagination."
"His only request then was for Zhou Wei to have the child and then have more children for him, to live well as a family. But things didn't go as planned because Zhou Wei had a difficult childbirth, injuring her body and preventing future pregnancies."
"Ye Daqiang's wish to have heirs was shattered, and since Ye Lin was a girl, he began assaulting Zhou Wei. As she didn't resist at first, he intensified over time."
Upon hearing this, although Zhao Donglai felt sympathy for Zhou Wei, the focus remained on the case.
He immediately looked at Luo Fei, "Did they mention who Zhou Wei's first love was and where?"
"After asking through local police, I obtained Zhou Wei's mother's phone number. She confirmed Zhou Wei's first love was from our Jiangzhou City, named Zheng Kai."
"Whether Zheng Kai is indeed Ye Lin's father isn't clear yet, but I already asked Zhang Wei and his team to investigate."
"If Zheng Kai is the same person, then it explains why he transferred money to Ye Lin – he must have found out Ye Lin is his daughter!"
"However, separated by thousands of miles, how did he find out he had such a daughter?"
The group was puzzled when Zhou Fan suddenly ran in, "Captain Zhao, major discovery, major discovery!"
"Captain Zhao, when you asked me to have the cyber police monitor Ye Lin and Zheng Kai's chat software, guess what we found?"
"What did you find? Don't keep us in suspense, just tell us."
