135. Four tones 47
[a]
The call was very short-lived, and ended with Mu Zhuo smashing the phone.
No matter who Mu Zhuo was calling this time, the person on the other end of the phone was obviously very alert and didn't give Mu Zhuo a chance to say much.
Of course, they knew very well to each other that the person on the other end of the phone could only be Li Jingtian.
Verifying the matter was also very simple, and Wang Dynasty quickly checked the call logs, and then nodded at them.
The criminal Conglian put down his headphones and said to him: "Consultant Lin, the current situation is a little ridiculous, we have established the facts of Li Jingtian and Mu Zhuo's crimes, but there is a lack of evidence that can convict them, you say, what should I do?" β
Lin Chen turned his head and looked at the banner on the stall from afar, the two cartoon avatars hugging each other seemed to be laughing at him, he turned around and asked Conglian: "How many years can you be sentenced for false accusation?" β
"Whoever causes serious consequences shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years." The punishment is answered.
"It seems too light."
"Indeed." The convict paused and asked, "Does Advisor Lin have any ideas?" β
"According to what the torture captain said, let's crucify Li Jingtian."
After he finished saying that, Lu Xu happened to run from the end of the lawn angrily, and before anyone could make a sound, he came first: "Mr. Police Officer, you must teach Mu Zhuo, this little slut, a good lesson, it is best to lock him up for ten or eight years, and let those people in the prison make him bloom!" β
Lin Chen rarely agreed to this kind of thing, but hearing Lu Xu's request, although he frowned, he nodded rarely.
If you want to convict Li Jingtian and Mu Zhuo, it is obviously not enough to rely on blood or hatred, Lin Chen began to analyze the information revealed in Mu Zhuo's phone call, although the conversation between Mu Zhuo and Li Jingtian was disgusting, but it was almost the most important clue they had obtained so far from their investigation.
First of all, there is no doubt that Song Shengsheng was unjustly imprisoned.
Secondly, Li Jingtian did indeed carry out inhumane rape on Xu Ran in the process of recruiting prostitutes, which is beyond doubt.
The most important thing is that they are very good, and in that phone call, Mu Zhuo also revealed that there may really be such a thing as zΓ i key evidence.
The problem is that they don't know what the key evidence is that can make Muzo fearful.
Lin Yue looked at the time below the dynasty notebook, and unconsciously, they and Xing Conglian began to pay attention to the time frequently, which is a normal reaction that people will make under the pressure of the time limit, just like Mu Zhuo will choose to call and question Li Jingtian under pressure.
The pressure he exerted on Mu Zhuo was about Song Shengsheng, so what Mu Zhuo was worried about could only be the evidence about Song Shengsheng's case, but if Song Shengsheng's case was an unjust case made out of nothing, why should Mu Zhuo worry about the evidence being exposed, the unjust case is nothing more than perjury, so what is it?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen found that there were more people around him, he looked at Lu Xu, who was naturally sitting next to them, and then looked at the Torture Conglian.
The criminal conglian understood and said to Lu Xu: "Isn't Manager Li going back to work?" β
Lu Xu coughed dryly twice, his face flushed: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, this is my trespassing, you police handle the case, how can I, an outsider, get inside." β
Lu Xu slapped himself lightly, his eyes began to roll again, and his face became full of bitterness: "Captain Torture, I want to go back, but you see, I have offended the company's cash cow in order to solve the case, and going back is also a dead word." β
"Then resign, with Mr. Lu's ability, he won't even be able to find a job." Torture Conglian said.
"Hey, it's as simple as that, you don't know how powerful Royal One and CA are awesome, if I go back like this, maybe I will be directly sunk in the river." Lu Xu continued to plead.
"So what does Mr. Lu want?" The convict asked with a smile, "Let me collect the body for you, or take care of your family?" β
"Captain don't make fun of me."
Suddenly, Xing Conglian said in a calm tone: "Lu Xu, I don't have time to play games with you, since you know very well that you only have two ways to go, then don't talk nonsense, tell me Do you want to go back to die, or do you want to continue to cooperate with the police?" β
"Of course it's with the police!" Lu Xu almost didn't kowtow to the torture slave.
"Then explain the β‘β‘ of CA Company and Royal One, and strive to be a tainted witness?"
"This ...... I'm just a little minion, but I must know everything! β
"Lu Xu, you're very boring like this, can you sit in a high position in CA company, is it really because you're just a pimp?" Torture Conglian asked very sharply.
Lu Xu's face turned pale for a moment, but in fact, the punishment never gave him a chance to choose from beginning to end.
"I've taken a look at the file, before you organized prostitution, you were once in prison for robbery, you robbed a backpack and broke the other party's camera, if I guessed correctly, the object of your robbery should be a certain reporter, he has some evidence unfavorable to a certain artist of CA company, as Lu Xu, your identity has always been responsible for dealing with some shady things for CA company with shady means, right?" The criminal servant Lian said leisurely, "So, Mr. Lu, have you ever committed a murder?" β
Lu Xu was already sweating profusely, even if the torturer had pressed him against the window before, he was still flamboyant after he recovered, and now, he couldn't say a word.
How to describe the current scene, as if the hunter had cast a net, and after the prey got in, he dragged the net bag forward for a long distance, and finally took the β‘β‘ and aimed it at the head of the prey, which caught people off guard and could not give birth to any thoughts of resistance.
"You...... What exactly do you want? Finally, Lu Xu asked.
The convict lit a cigarette and handed it over: "Give me some clues, Mr. Lu, help us kill Li Jingtian, if Li Jingtian can't enter the prison, believe me, you will definitely not be happy." β
"I ...... I'm telling you that I'm giving you perjury, and you don't want to ......."
"Lu Xu, you see, the biggest difference between people like us, and people like Li Jingtian Mu Zhuo and even you is that we are still in awe, you don't believe that there are gods on your head, but I believe it, so I don't dare to do unsightly things."
Lu Xu's head was already very low, and Lin Chen couldn't see his expression at all. However, Lin Chen thought that a person like Lu Xu probably wouldn't wake up because of Xing Conglian's words, at most he was thinking about whether it was cost-effective to cooperate with Xing Conglian.
But as the unhurried hunter had said, he had no choice.
"You want evidence in the case of Li Jingtianqiang's rape of Xu Ran, I really don't have it, I can only say that Royal One and CA Company are more terrifying than you imagined." Lu Xu still lowered his head, his voice was rare calm and fierce, "But I just heard Officer Lin mention Song Shengsheng's name, in fact, you are late, if you found me at this time nine years ago, maybe you could really save something, but now, it's really too late." β
"Tell me, what the hell is going on."
Lu Xu picked up the cigarette handed by the torturer, took a sharp puff, and slowly opened a small corner of this whole monstrous conspiracy.
As Xing Conglian said, nine years ago, Lu Xu was just a small "wrecker" of the "CA" company, and the most he usually did was either to teach the disobedient trainees from above, or to attack the reporters of the artists under the CA company and put dead rats at the door.
Regarding the real β‘β‘ of Song Shengsheng's case, a little minion like him couldn't be contacted at all, but at that time, it was overwhelming the news of Song Shengsheng's rape case, as a wrecker, he just felt some strange policies within the company, which is different from the current situation of CA company to protect Li Jingtian, at that time, CA company directly gave up the opportunity to control public opinion for Song Shengsheng, they didn't even give Song Sheng's lawyer, and instead promoted Mu Zhuo's strong and unyielding idol singer image.
The company's attitude towards Song Shengsheng is like throwing away some worthless garbage, from the case to the real sentence, Song Shengsheng did not even have the opportunity to defend himself in front of the media.
After saying a lot of foreshadowing in front of him, Lu Xu fiercely extinguished the cigarette butt on the lawn, and Lin Chen knew that the main event was coming.
"And then?" The criminal servant asked.
"About a week after the incident, the company sent us to the scene of the crime one day." Lu Xu said.
"What are you sending to do?"
"I don......'t know," Lu Xu took a deep breath, "At that time, I was mainly responsible for letting out the wind, and I wasn't the one who did the work. β
"So, are you going to erase any evidence, or are you going to look for something?" Lin Chen asked.
Lu Xu nodded, then shook his head again: "I really don't know." β
"Who's the one who does the work?" Torture Conglian asked decisively.
"The old cripple, it's my brother, dead."
Hearing the news of the death of the key witness, Xing Conglian was not a little depressed, and he asked again, "When your brother came out of the scene of the crime, did he say anything, or did he take anything?" β
Lu Xu looked up at the sky and squinted, as if he was remembering something.
"My brother brought a big bag in, and when he came out, the bag was stuffed, and it did seem to contain a lot of things, but he didn't show it to me."
"Can you tell what's in it?"
Lu Xu continued to shake his head, his expression did not seem to be fake.
"Alright." Xing Conglian got up from the ground and said, "Then let's go, Mr. Lu?" β
"Punishment ...... The captain of the torture ......" Lu Xu didn't know for a while, "Where are we going?" β
"Of course, I went to the scene of the crime nine years ago."
[two]
After listening to Lu Xu's words, until he got back into the car, Lin Chen was recalling his feelings when he learned that Song Shengsheng was accused of sexually assaulting Mu Zhuo.
He doesn't seem to have any ups and downs, for onlookers like him, there are heavy news every day, and the sexual assault case is just one of them, compared with the flooding in such and such an area or the armed conflict in such and such an area, Song Shengsheng's case is not even very serious.
But although the case is not multi-faceted, at that time, he was surrounded by news about Song Shengsheng every day, even those around him who didn't like to talk about gossip, in their spare time, would talk about what was new in Song Shengsheng's case today.
Some people with a strong sense of justice will angrily denounce Song Shengsheng's beasts, and they can't wait to peel Song Shengsheng's skin and bones; And those boring idlers who don't have much sense of justice will discuss the recent revelation of Song Shengsheng and what new body he has done.
Lin Chen thought that those conversations, discussions, and angry reprimands were far away from him, and he thought that he should have forgotten about the events of that time a long time ago, but when they got closer and closer to the truth behind Song Shengsheng's case, those voices suddenly became clear.
Every sentence is very clear.
He even clearly remembered what he himself said: This rape case is very boring, but the social effect caused by it is very interesting.
Now that I think about it, he is actually no different from every onlooker, they are all watching the play, thinking that they are outsiders, and this matter has nothing to do with themselves, so they can arbitrarily evaluate these things and be fearless.
Fearlessness is the most terrifying.
In Song Shengsheng's case, the only people who feel heartbroken are probably Song Shengsheng's fans, and Xu Ran is just an ordinary member of countless heartbroken fans.
In the information compiled by the dynasty, Lin Chen also saw that Song Shengsheng's member forum was still running, and some people clocked in every day, looking forward to the day when the idol was released from prison.
Of course, among those people, there are also people like Xu Ran, praying that their idol will one day be vindicated, which was a very hopeless prayer, but suddenly one day, it became possible because of some accidental coincidence.
Lin Chen thought, everything in this world is not reasonable, not all thoughts must have an echo, but it is still good to keep faith.
Thinking of the photos of the full bed that Xu Ran had to save until the end, and thinking of Song Shengsheng's unbridled and indulgent smile, Lin Chen suddenly realized that he had read so much information about Song Shengsheng, but he didn't know where this person was now, so he asked, "So, how is Song Shengsheng now?" β
The young man sitting in the back seat chewing fruit candy answered his question: "Song Shengsheng received a commutation of his sentence last year and was released from prison......
"And then?"
"Then I don't know where he is." Wang Chao shook his head, typed down a line of text, and then turned the screen over, "It's also very strange to say, Song Shengsheng has not had any records since he was released from prison, the house has not been rented, social security has not been paid, and there is no movement in the bankδΈ¨ bank card, it may be because he feels ashamed and is afraid that others will find out his identity, so he chooses to keep it secret." β
On the screen was a photo taken by Song Shengsheng when he was released from prison, looking at that photo, a strange familiar feeling flashed in Lin Chen's heart.
Although compared with the rock and roll youth who was the first in the world a few years ago, Song Shengsheng, who spent eight years in prison, can no longer see any of the appearance of the year, he is skinny, his face is yellow and thin, and his eyes have long lost the look of the day, just like the kind of old man who is about to die, as if there is still a lack of a gust of wind, the flame of his life will be extinguished.
Remembering that Wang Dynasty said that Song Shengsheng did not have any social records after he was released from prison, Lin Chen even suspected that he might no longer be in this world.
But anyway, please hold on for another 6 hours.
β¦β¦
Lu Xu's car stopped at the gate of a high-end community, and the scene of the sexual assault case was at Song Shengsheng's house.
According to the information of the dynasty, Song Shengsheng's parents died, and his property has never changed hands in his own name, that is to say, although nine years have passed, it is very likely that the scene of this case is still the same as after Lu Xu's eldest brother left nine years ago.
Unless, Song Shengsheng returned here after being released from prison.
Xing Conglian took the lock-picking measure again, Lin Chen pushed the door open with some small hopes, sure enough, not all hopes can come true, Song Shengsheng has indeed never returned.
When the door opened, there was an old, rotten smell of the air, foul and musty.
Song Shengsheng's house is full of dust, and every time he steps on it, it seems to be able to splash smoke and dust, making it impossible to breathe.
As soon as Wang Chao entered the door, he couldn't help but rush to the window and open the curtains to the maximum, and the sunlight outside the window suddenly penetrated into the house, gilding the entire living room with a layer of bright light.
Facing the rushing light, Lin Chen also walked to the window and looked around the entire living room.
The living environment best reflects a person's personality.
Although the furnishings in Song Shengsheng's home have been searched by the police at a glance, the utensils are crooked, the furniture is disorganized, and fluorescent labels appear on the walls and floors from time to time, which are probably reminders to collect fingerprints or footprints, but after slowly erasing these traces, Song Shengsheng's home is not as messy as it seems on the surface.
It doesn't even feel like the home of a bohemian rock 'n' roll youth.
The floor is the color of logs, there are not too many dark decorations or wrought iron and other things in the living room, there is no graffiti on the wall, the furnishings are soft and low-key, there is a guitar in the corner, and there is a thick stack of DVDs next to the TV.
For example, he chooses to use a photo wall as a background decoration for his sofa, rather than the curious paintings that artists on the fringes like, or that each of his DVDs is bought and stacked at random, and Lin Chen doesn't find any special disc storage boxes around the TV cabinet.
Looking at the qiΔ in front of him, Lin Chen could fully imagine how Song Shengsheng took off his coat at will after returning home, went to the refrigerator barefoot to get a bottle of beer, and then sat in front of the TV and flipped through cartoons at will.
He doesn't care too much about the reputation of cartoons, but for the things he likes, he is willing to watch them dozens of times and doesn't feel bored at all.
Lin Chen pulled out a significantly older disc case and flipped it over, and many, many deep and shallow scratches appeared on its back.
It seems that this film should be Song Shengsheng's beloved.
