Chapter 36 (1/2)
Police interrogation room.
The trial has begun.
A table separates two people with dazzling incandescent lamps on top of their heads. Team Chen sits opposite Qin Shuyi and is responsible for inquiring, while Zhao Li is responsible for recording.
The rest of them were in the compartment outside the interrogation room, observing the interrogation process through one-way glass.
Chen did not immediately speak, but carefully observed Qin Shuyi.
He did not doubt the old man until he retrieved the flood records of Hejia village in 1999. An old man living alone in his late 70s has no motive or ability to kill three strong middle-aged people.
Even if the files are transferred out now to confirm that Qin Shuyi has a motive for committing the crime, team Chen still prefers that he has an accomplice to commit the crime.
At the beginning, he deliberately did not speak, quietly hanging the old man, to put psychological pressure on him, so that it is more convenient to wait for the trial.
The dazzling white light shines on him, which can magnify his subtle expression and casual micro action. Team Chen has been quietly paying attention to his subtle expressions and movements.
But no, nothing.
In addition to sitting upright on his back, Qin Shuyi had almost no superfluous movements. His eyes were dark, and the glare of the light failed to bring him a trace of expression.
The longer team Chen observes, the more difficult it becomes. At this time, Qin Shuyi is not like an ordinary old man, but like a soldier who has been through many battles. He strictly manages his words and deeds without showing any flaws.
What he doesn't know is that Qin Shuyi is not good at managing words and deeds. He's just too used to the scene. When his wife and daughter passed away, he often sat alone under the incandescent lamp. He didn't dare to think of anything. He separated all his thoughts and sat all day.
Team Chen didn't ask questions. He just sat quietly. No one could see that he had actually pulled himself away.
In the end, Chen started to ask questions first.
Ask questions from the most basic information such as name and age, take this as the entry point, and then gradually ask more in-depth questions.
He thought that Qin Shuyi was a hard nut to chew, and it would be hard to chew, but on the contrary, Qin Shuyi was very cooperative.
Later, he was even able to tell the story of Hejia village calmly.
This is a story opposite to that recorded in the archives. Team Chen was moved by all kinds of shocking cases for a moment. In their profession, reason always suppresses emotion,
He calmly put forward a more aggressive question, trying to force Qin Shuyi to reveal his real idea: ”so in order to avenge his wife and daughter, you began to plan revenge? How long have you been planning? With so many enemies, it's hard for you to complete revenge by yourself, isn't it? So you found someone to work with? ”
With that, he looked sharply at Qin Shuyi.
Qin Shuyi's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and he even nodded.
His hand on the table unconsciously clenched, recalling those crazy days: ”I thought about a lot of revenge plans... I also secretly went to the city to get a barrel of gasoline. As long as I pour the gasoline on the house in the dead of night and set a fire, I can avenge Cuiping and Nannan...”
”But you didn't? Why? ”
Team Chen paid close attention to his expression. The old man's eyes were turbid, his teeth were clenched, his hands were tightly twisted... All kinds of signs showed his hatred.
He also noticed that the old man had a red paper man in his coat pocket.
He had seen this kind of paper man in the fourth building. It was hung in every house. It was called Sao qingniang. He always felt that these paper men looked a little strange, but he took another look, only to find that just a little bit of the corner of the paper man was exposed, which would expose the whole head.
The paper man's eyes still seemed to be looking at him.
Team Chen:???
He suspected that his eyes were dazed. He closed his eyes and concentrated. He soon regained his mind and went on with his work.
Qin Shuyi replied, ”I can't bear it. In addition to those damned people, there are many children in the village who came to Cuiping to ask for sugar before. Some of them are about the same size as Nannan, others are smaller than Nannan. They are innocent. How can I do it... ”
His eyes trembled, but there was no more tears in his dark eyes.
”Are you willing to give up revenge?” Team Chen continued to press questions.
”Nature is not reconciled, so I have been haunted by them, let them live uncomfortable.”
Qin Shuyi shook his head. He seemed to feel something. He raised his hand and pressed it on his left chest. The palm of his hand just covered the position of the paper man.
Chen team eyes subconsciously follow to see, but congealed in his arm.
Qin Shuyi's arm, which is not very strong, is almost covered with dark purple red patches. Without identification, he can recognize that it is only after death.
Team Chen's throat suddenly dried up.
He swallowed several times and looked subconsciously at Zhao Li, who was in charge of recording. Zhao Li also looks frightened.
Before, she only had a glimpse of the body spot in the fourth building. At that time, she could deceive herself by saying that it might be bruises caused by falling. But this time, the two people were so close and the light was so bright that she could see clearly. She could no longer deceive herself.
The cool air rose from her back, but her eyes seemed to stick to the arm. The incandescent lamp was so bright that she could clearly see that, in addition to the dark purple body spot, the arm muscles of the other side were not full. Some parts of the arm were strangely sunken, as if the muscle tissue inside had been eaten out, leaving only a layer of skin.
Her hand trembled. Panic drew back the line of sight.
Other people watching behind the one-way glass naturally noticed this strange scene. Zhang Peng, who had been to the fourth building together, was staring at that arm, his eyes almost falling off.
He seemed to think of something and went to see the monitor.
There was surveillance in the interrogation room. He kept going backwards and backwards in the surveillance video until he finally found something. He was so surprised that the mouse fell to the ground.
Other colleagues surprised to see: ”what's the matter?”
”You see for yourself.” Zhang Peng's voice is a little floating and trembling.
Others rushed to see his pause. On the monitoring interface, Qin Shuyi sat steadily, like a still statue. But with the beat of time on the screen, in his left shirt pocket, a red paper man slowly poked his head out.
From the monitoring, the paper man's godless eyes seemed to be staring at the interrogation team Chen.
“……”
The silence dispersed in the cubicle.
”Maybe it's just Qin Shuyi's action that drives the paper man to slide out.”
Someone swallowed and made a less convincing statement.
”That's right...”
Zhang Peng's eyes were straight in agreement, and he boldly reversed the video and played it slowly, trying to find the evidence to support this statement.
Then in the surveillance video, the thin white shirt pocket shows a fuzzy outline of paper man. They watched with their own eyes that the red paper man flattened little by little from the folded state, and then their heads came out, staring at team Chen.
Just like a squatting person, slowly stood up.
”Why don't you inform team Chen to suspend the trial first? It's so weird... ”
The old man with body spots and the paper man who seems to be alive are challenging their tolerance and three outlooks.
Zhang Peng thought of what Wang Qing had said.
Wang Qing said that the old man was dead.
At that time, he scoffed, but now... He turned on the messenger and asked team Chen to suspend the trial as soon as possible and come out of the interrogation room first.
Team Chen was wearing a mini headset during the trial. He heard Zhang Peng's voice trembling and asked him to suspend the trial first. His first reaction was not doubt and opposition, but relief.
Even if he didn't want to believe it, he had to admit that his restless eyes came from the paper man.
Pause the trial, Chen team and Zhao Li go out together.
After they went out, they looked at each other without any words. They turned to the reception room to find Jiang Jiu.
*
Jiang is not in the reception room. He is talking to two men with outstanding appearance in the hall.
Both of them were dressed in tailored suits, but one was cold and proud, and the other was smiling. It is obvious that temperament is not an ordinary person.
Before team Chen came forward and spoke, the smiling young man met him and presented his business card and certificate: ”Hello, Captain Chen, I'm from the security department. Qin Shuyi's case involves unnatural factors. I'm responsible for docking with you.”
Chen team looked at his documents, only feel dizzy.
He pinched his eyebrows and said, ”let's go to the conference room.”
So they turned to the conference room. Team Chen photographed Chen Hua's identification when they went in.
He knows the security department, but it's incredible that the security department is still in charge of such a small criminal case.
However, the unnatural factors mentioned by Chen Hua forced him to pay attention to them. After facing up to the strangeness of Qin Shuyi and paper man, he gradually overturned his arbitrary speculation and began to believe in Jiang's words.
He sent the photo to the director for inquiry.
Team Chen, Zhao Li, Zhang Peng and Jiang Shu sat down in the conference room. Another person asked Qin Shuyi to come.
Jiang Shu and another man didn't open their mouth. It was obvious that Chen Hua was in the dominant position.
Chen Hua said with a smile: ”Captain Chen should have confirmed my identity? If it's confirmed, we can continue with the following process. ”
Chen team heart jump, subconsciously look at the mobile phone, see the director has returned the message.
He confirmed the identity of Chen Hua,
At this time, Qin Shuyi also came in.
Chen Hua took out a stack of handover documents, slowly signed them and pushed them to team Chen: ”Qin Shuyi is not a living person now, so it needs to be handed over to us.”
Other people were shocked and looked at Qin Shuyi in horror.
But team Chen reacted more quickly and frowned: ”people are handed over to you. How can we explain to the public?”
Although the three outlooks are still collapsing, their responsibilities can not be easily put down. There are three homicide cases in Hongfu community. They have to find out the truth and give an account to the public.
”The murderer of this case is it. Even if I give it to you, you can't give an account to the public.”
Chen Hua points to the paper in Qin Shuyi's pocket.
Probably was called, was pressed back to the pocket of sweep fine Niang a little bit out of the head, eyes scan a circle, bad to the Chen team showed his teeth.
It has a very good memory of hatred, and obviously remembers that team Chen bullied his father just now.
