From a free man to a prisoner, this identity change is too fast, and Cheng Liping is not mentally prepared at all. He knew that his strength was not light, but at best it was only a slight contusion to hit him, how could it become a murder? Looking at the posture of the police, they are not fooling themselves, if they are really convicted of the crime, how to face their parents who have worked hard all their lives, and how to face Tian Zicheng who treats him sincerely?

Thinking back carefully about what happened yesterday, Cheng Liping couldn't believe that he had killed someone with those two slaps. He knew that the police had cracked the case and focused on confessions over evidence, so he did not cooperate with the two problematic policemen to record confessions at all, and insisted on waiting for the lawyer to arrive. The policeman who asked him smiled contemptuously and said, "Waiting for a lawyer, which lawyer do you think dares to speak for the murderer?" ”

I spent the afternoon in the interrogation room, and near evening, my father and mother came over. Without waiting for Cheng Liping to speak, his mother cried and said, "Pingwa'er, what's going on?" ”

Cheng Liping said: "Mom, I really didn't kill anyone, don't worry, they will let me out if they find out." He spoke slowly, but loudly, as if he was deliberately soothing his parents' hearts.

Dad nodded, his eyes moistened, and said, "Since you didn't kill anyone, it's easy to do, your mother and I will go to a lawyer and we must rescue you." ”

Cheng Liping's nose was sour, and he almost burst into tears. In the past few years, when they were outside, they couldn't even call their parents, which made them worry all day long. I finally returned to my hometown, and I got into trouble every once in a while, and it was excusable to resist the forced demolition last time, but this time it was purely because of the trouble caused by the black skinny boy. My parents are over half a hundred years old, and I have to run around because of this kind of thing, begging my grandfather to tell my grandmother, I am too unfilial.

After his parents left, Cheng Liping was temporarily detained in a detention center. As soon as he entered, the old acquaintance inside smiled: "Yo, brother, it's you again." ”

Cheng Liping looked up and recognized that it was He Yong, who helped him last time, so he nodded helplessly. Speaking of which, he also promised He Yong that he would find a way to get him out, but he couldn't do anything during the New Year, and he went to Deqing after the New Year, and when he came back, he had a fight with Mr. Chen, and he didn't have time to deal with it. Thinking of the last time He Yong tried his best to help himself, Cheng Liping felt guilty.

He Yong didn't mind at all, and said with a smile: "Tell me, what did you do this time?" ”

Cheng Liping said: "It's still beating people." ”

He Yong said: "I know. You are a man whose temper is the same as mine, and you are jealous and hateful. How many days will you be in the number this time? ”

Cheng Liping didn't say anything, and said after a while: "I don't think I can get out this time." ”

He Yong took a breath and said, "Killed people again?" ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said, "The police said they were dead." ”

He Yong frowned and said, "You kid is really ruthless, you will kill someone if you make a move." Which unlucky guy is it this time? ”

Cheng Liping shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”

He Yong looked confused and said, "Big brother, I didn't know you and beat you to death?" ”

Cheng Liping smiled bitterly: "A black and thin boy bullied my girlfriend, I gave him two slaps, and he was arrested by the police today and said it was a murder." ”

Another prisoner in the trumpet interjected, "Black skinny boy? Do you drive a Maserati? ”

Cheng Liping said: "Yes, it's him, more than one meter and five points, black and thin." ”

The prisoner shook involuntarily and said, "Big brother, then don't think about going out, even if it's not a murder, you're going to be finished." ”

He Yong snorted and scolded: "Don't sell it, let it go if you have a fart, who is that person?" ”

The prisoner said, "That man's name is Wang Hongqi, and he is the only son of Wang Zhibang. ”

Cheng Liping opened his mouth, pursed his lips and smiled, and then sat quietly on the bed, saying nothing. He Yong was also stupid, and after a long time, he laughed and said, "Brother, are you fighting with the Wang family?" killed Wang Laosan a year ago, and now he has killed Wang Hongqi, and he has been mixing in Licheng with the Wang family for decades, so you are asked to shave your head? ”

When the other prisoners in the horn heard this, they quickly hid in the corner in fright. There are few good stubbles who can enter the number, but this young man who seems to be honest and responsible is a habitual murderer, who is full of food and support, he has to rely on the murderer, in case he is provoked, the consequences can be very serious.

Fortunately, this key prisoner has a good temper, sits in the trumpet all day long, and never bullies other prisoners like other prison bullies. As soon as two days passed, the tension in the trumpet disappeared completely.

Living in the number, time has passed for a long time, and I know that only two days have passed, but in Cheng Liping's feeling, it seems that two years have passed. On the evening of the third day, an old friend came over, and this time he didn't go to the reception room, but asked directly in front of the door of the detention center.

"Lao Cheng, from March 1st to March 5th, where are you?" Du Deyong asked in a businesslike tone.

Cheng Liping frowned and thought for a while, he didn't go anywhere in those days, he was shot in the stomach by Mr. Chen, and he lay in the brick house next to the fish pond every day. But this can't be said directly, and it is impossible to testify against Mr. Chen, otherwise the trouble will become bigger and bigger.

"I lived in a fish pond and didn't go anywhere." Cheng Liping decided to make a long story short, even if it was an old friend Du Deyong in front of him.

"Do you have a certificate?" Du Deyong asked with a straight face.

Cheng Liping said: "In those days, my health was not good, and my girlfriend delivered food at noon every day. Other times, no one has proven it. ”

Du Deyong said: "What's going on with the body? ”

Cheng Liping hesitated for a moment and said, "I fell to the ground and stabbed my stomach." ”

Du Deyong said: "I look at the wound. ”

Cheng Liping had no choice but to lift his shirt. Du Deyong only glanced at it, then glared at Cheng Liping and said, "What kind of stabbing is this?" ”

Cheng Liping didn't answer, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter what kind of stabbing it is, anyway, I can't get out of bed for a few days, and I'm lying on the bed." Saying this, it seems a bit of a scoundrel, Du Deyong has been a policeman for so many years, how can he not see that he was shot.

Du Deyong shook his head, turned around and left. He is only the director of the police station at the grassroots level, and he has no power to interfere with the criminal police brigade in handling the case, but the words asked are not all useless, at least Du Deyong can be sure that the murderer is not Cheng Liping.

Cheng Liping was also relieved, because Du Deyong told him when he was leaving: "The dead man is a gangster named Ma Liu. ”

Since it was not Wang Zhibang's son who died, Cheng Liping had nothing to worry about. Although the police arrested him, Cheng Liping didn't complain at all, because if he was a policeman, he would do the same. The reason is very simple, because the police have long grasped the clue that Ma Liu poisoned Cheng Liping's fish pond, but at this time Ma Liu died, and Cheng Liping did not show up for several days. All factors are combined, and Cheng Liping is naturally the biggest suspect.

However, the police must pay attention to evidence in handling cases, and even if they are sent to the court for conviction, the procuratorate can protest if they find that they are tired. When Ma Liu died, where and what the cause of death was, Cheng Liping didn't know any of these key issues, and those policemen couldn't even falsify evidence to hide it. So Cheng Liping confidently told He Yong that he might be acquitted soon.

He Yong smiled: "It's not necessarily a good thing to go out, brother, don't forget, you beat Wang Hongqi, can his father let you go?" ”

Cheng Liping waved his hand and said, "Don't worry about a lot of debts, anyway, because of Wang Laosan's death, they have long hated me." ”

He Yong patted his head and said, "That's what I said." But brother, I advise you, Licheng is a small place, and those who dare to be hairy have a background, so don't be so reckless in the future. ”

Cheng Liping smiled disdainfully and said, "Mao, they are still too tender." ”

Another week has passed, and Cheng Liping has not been acquitted. This made Cheng Liping a little unexpected.

There are also huge divisions within the city bureau around the murder of Ma Liu. Ma Xianzhong, the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade, did not recognize Cheng Liping's suspicion of murder, because Ma Liu's place of death was by the moat in the west of the city, and the time of death was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and the cause of death was excessive blood loss caused by a knife in the abdomen. He once sent someone to check the surrounding surveillance in detail, and confirmed that the person who killed Ma Liu that day was a red-clothed boy about 1.7 meters tall, which was very different from Cheng Liping, who was 1.8 meters tall.

However, Director Wang Dunru reprimanded Ma Xian for slashing his head and covering his face, saying that Cheng Liping had sufficient motives to kill and sufficient time to commit the crime, and he did not have an alibi, although he could not be sure that he was the murderer, he must be the biggest suspect. Ma Xianzhong was picked up by Director Wang, and he didn't dare to talk back to Wang Dunru, so he had to return to his office unhappily.

"Horse team, what now?" A young detective asked.

Ma Xianzhong slammed the file on the desk and said distressedly: "Do everything you can to find out the whereabouts of the young man in red." ”

After arranging this matter, Ma Xianzhong called Du Dezhong again.

"Lao Du, I'm Lao Ma. That Cheng Liping's case seems to be a bit problematic. Ma Xianzhong said vaguely.

Du Dezhong said with a smile: "If you are sick, you have to go to the doctor, and if you have a problem, you have to dig out the root of the problem." ”

Ma Xianzhong smiled bitterly: "It's easy to say, but it's hard to do." ”

Du Dezhong said: "These things are actually related, Lao Ma, our burden is very heavy, you must always remember that you are a party member." ”

Ma replied first and hung up the phone. Since going to Du's house late that night, Ma Xianzhong felt that Du Dezhong was completely different from before. It seems that everything he says and does is from a higher perspective, and it does not belong to the characteristics of a cadre at the department level. And Ma Xianzhong, regardless of his criminal investigation ability, after all, he is from the political and legal system, and once he disagrees with his immediate boss, his first thought is to put the interests of the organization first.

In fact, Ma Xianzhong is not a fool, he knows why Wang Dunru wants to deal with Cheng Liping strictly. The last incident involved forced demolition, Cheng Liping stood in an invincible position of legitimate defense, and with the notice of the Ministry of Public Security, Wang Dunru had no way to avenge his dead brother. Now that he has the right opportunity, how can he let Cheng Liping go. Even if the Ministry of Public Security is the highest organ of the police system, it is impossible to shield a key murderer, as long as the crime of Ma Liu's murder is confirmed, Cheng Liping will be dead.

"Although the dead man was a thug, the water in it was too deep." Ma Xian sighed heavily and said.
