Chapter 5: The So-Called Good and the Evil
"Xiaozhi, do you believe that 'the beginning of man is good'?" Li Jing asked me as he walked down the road.
"Of course, I believe that when people are just born, they have not been exposed to anything, and they observe this society with a pure heart, thinking that everything is beautiful and cannot really survive independently in society, so they will be ridiculed by adults for being naΓ―ve and naΓ―ve. But when I grow up, I start to get in touch with the not-so-good side of this society, and I naturally begin to understand the dangers of the world, and then I begin to try to integrate into society, and the so-called maturity is just becoming worldly and indifferent. I remember someone saying to me from my first day on the job, 'As you get older, you realize that you can't change the world. Only by being obedient can you make your life better'. "I pulled the scarf a little higher to keep me out a little bit of the cold outside.
Li Jing looked at me a little strangely: "It's rare to hear you say such pessimistic things, you usually look stupid." β
"Just because I say something like that doesn't mean I'm admitting it's correct." I gave him a roll of the eye, "I don't agree with this opinion at all!" Even though everyone around me told me to change myself and adapt to society, I still hope that even when I am eighty years old, I can live as innocently as I did when I was eight years old. β
"It's like only you can say it." Li Jing sighed, and there was a smile on his face.
We didn't go home, but went directly to the police station, Shi Hao had already taken advantage of the dinner time to sort out the information we needed, but did not show up for the employees who worked in the five office buildings. Li Jing frowned, he pasted all the photos of the people he had sorted out in the past two days on the whiteboard used for display, and after looking at it for a while, he suddenly pointed to the person in a photo and asked me: "Xiaozhi, help me see if this person has applied for other jobs online?" Whether it is related to the network or not, other service industries can also be used. β
The man in the photo worked as a network administrator in the first office building, and although I was full of doubts about Li Jing's request, I immediately entered the search conditions that Li Jing said on several major recruitment websites. Finally, two hours later, the suspect was found in the job search information of a cleaner on a website in the same city.
"Check which one of these companies' cleaning companies use?"
I checked, it was a cleaning company called 'Lvwei', and it was a coincidence that this cleaning company undertook the cleaning work of the remaining five office buildings at the same time, and these conditions made Li Jing aggravate the suspicion of the man named Wang Sheng.
"Huh? How did he go about applying for a janitor? I asked Li Jing, "Isn't he a network programmer?" "He was really doing network maintenance at his first company.
"It's because of my appearance." Li Jing pointed to the photo of the suspect and showed me, the suspect is asymmetrical, and at first glance it is a little scary, I think this is why it is difficult for him to apply for a position that he is satisfied with. Li Jing continued: "I speculated that his profession would be convenient for him to commit crimes, but I really didn't think that the profession of cleaner is indeed a profession that can not only disguise his identity but also facilitate him to check the situation in the building. He had been treated unfairly because of his appearance, and perhaps he still suffered all kinds of discrimination that made him hate society and plan to take revenge on those who had mocked him. Offenders like him often have various sad experiences, unfair treatment or fatal blows, which are the main causes of their sociopathic personality when stimulated. β
"It's ridiculous to judge people by their appearance." I sneered, turned my head and continued to look at the suspect's application profile, the suspect's life trajectory was really quite unfortunate. After graduating from college, I kept changing jobs, and each job didn't last long, maybe it was really because of my appearance.
In order to verify my conjecture, I went to check the forum about these office buildings, turned a few pages and found that there was really a post about Wang Sheng, and with the order of the time of the crime, the first page of the forum of the sixth office building where the theft had just occurred appeared on the first page of the post satirizing Wang Sheng as a monster cleaner, and the post had a thorny content, which made me suddenly have an urge to drag the poster out and beat him. Bastard who judges people by their appearance, I slandered in my heart.
"What now? Do you want to contact a cleaning company? I asked Li Jing.
Li Jing may have heard the excitement in my tone, and took the words: "Let Shi Hao check Wang Sheng's address in a while, and I will ask Team Xiao to send someone to send him to the police station." β
I nodded, but did not speak, human beings are sometimes really ridiculous, obviously it is the bitter fruit that they planted, but when they taste the bitter taste of the fruit, they complain that the fruit itself does not grow well.
Before I met Wang Sheng in the interrogation room, I had absolutely zero communication with Li Jing, in fact, I was not recruited at all, but seeing that he was still reading the newspaper in Team Xiao's office as usual, I was angry. When I heard the police officer call Li Jing to go to the interrogation room, I still didn't want to talk to him with a cold face. When he passed by me, he sighed and said, "You said that you kidnapped me with morality, and I was not angry, why are you sulking here?" β
I thought about it, too, I can't feel that society is unfair, so I have to let others accept my own values, I pouted, but there were no words.
Li Jing smiled bitterly: "Do you think I'm not angry about this kind of thing?" The most important question for us now is not to blame these indifferent bystanders, but to do everything we can to stop Wang Sheng from committing the crime and pull it back from the point of no return, right? After saying that, Li Jing scratched my nose again like last time, this time I was not as shocked by his intimacy as last time, I just pinched the bridge of my nose. It was originally a collapsed nose, and if it was scraped so old, would it be that there would be no nose in the future. I burst into tears in my heart.
Because Team Xiao has been busy, it was Li Jing and another police officer surnamed Liu who was temporarily transferred to be in charge of the interrogation, and I was still arranged to watch the surveillance outside. Wang Sheng was very calm when he saw them, and he always denied Li Jing's question about the case.
"You know what we're looking for you for, right?" Officer Liu asked Wang Sheng, who was sitting opposite.
Wang Sheng lowered his head and shook his head: "I don't know." β
"Didn't the police who went to your house tell you?" Officer Liu asked again.
"Nope." Wang Sheng still lowered his head.
"Can you lift your head?" Li Jing asked Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng raised his head, judging from the surveillance, Wang Sheng's eyes are quite empty now, and his head should be a subconscious action after hearing Officer Liu's words.
"Now you look at us and say you haven't been back to where you used to work." Officer Liu clearly understood Li Jing's intentions and asked Wang Sheng to look them in the eye when answering his questions.
"No, I didn't come to the company at night." Wang Sheng's eyes moved.
"Then why did the stolen company have your fingerprints?" Officer Liu then asked.
Wang Sheng's eyes moved again, and he replied, "Many offices in the building will come to me to do cleaning. β
"Aren't you supposed to wear gloves when you do cleaning? How can fingerprints still be left? Officer Liu stared at Wang Sheng's glasses.
Wang Sheng's back stiffened, he obviously realized that Officer Liu had set him up, he couldn't take it, he could only close his mouth and lower his head again, and he didn't say anything when he asked later, even if he raised his head, he still remained silent. The interrogation of the theft case could not go on, and at this time, Li Jingchong made a gesture to the monitor, and I knew that he was motioning for me to go in.
I entered the interrogation room, the sound of the door opening attracted Wang Sheng's attention, he looked in the direction of the door, and when he saw that it was me who came in, he quickly turned his face. Li Jing didn't speak, just motioned for me to sit in his place, and he walked out directly.
I didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so I had to sit in his previous position.
No matter how Officer Liu asked Wang Sheng to raise his head this time, Wang Sheng kept his head down, refused to raise his head, and sometimes even turned to the other side to sit, I sat there in embarrassment and didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
Officer Liu said to Wang Sheng again: "If you ask you, can you cooperate and turn around and look up at us." β
Wang Sheng didn't turn around, his head lowered, and his body began to tremble, obviously afraid of something. Officer Liu felt that something was wrong, and just as he wanted to go over to confirm Wang Sheng's situation, Li Jing pushed the door in and called me and Officer Liu out.
In the monitoring room, Li Jingcai told us the reason for the incident: "Wang Sheng may have been hurt by a girl, so Xiaozhi's entry into the interrogation room caused Wang Sheng's current psychological tension. So, Officer Liu, can you let Xiaozhi interrogate Liu Sheng with us for a while? β
