Police station.

Wan Mao successively recorded confessions for Daqiang and the others, came out of the interrogation room, returned to the big office, and said to Zhou Changwei: "Liu Renda and Ding Qiang have the same caliber, saying that the money was lent to Li Quande, and they still have IOUs. ”

Zhou Changwei was thinking about the case.

Peng Jianguo asked: "How is the relationship between the three of them?" ”

"I usually don't have much contact, but Liu Renda and Ding Qiang both said that they had a good old relationship with Li Quande, otherwise they wouldn't lend him money."

Wan Mao had just spoken, and someone sneered.

"The murderers are the two of them." Li Quande's wife suddenly rushed in and shouted uncontrollably, "They killed my son!" ”

In the morning, Wan Mao recorded a confession for Ms. Hou, and she didn't know anything at that time, and she was wiping her tears the whole time.

Zhou Changwei walked up to Ms. Hou: "Who is the murderer?" How to kill someone? ”

Ms. Hou cried hoarsely, her eyes were blazing, and she couldn't wait to fight hard: "The murderers are Liu Renda and Ding Qiang, I have evidence." ”

Ms. Hou's name is Hou Shuqin, and she has no relationship with Li Quande, but her son is her life.

The evidence in her mouth is a mobile phone recording, which includes Li Quande, Liu Renda and Ding Qiang.

"Isn't it just a million, you two don't have no money, as for being so calculating?"

This trick is Li Quande, and his attitude is very clear: break the jar and break it.

"You think a million is a little money? One million this time, and how much will it be next time? This is Liu Renda's voice, angry.

"Then my son has lost his money now, what can I do?" Li Quande looked like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, "Otherwise, you don't have to give me money this year, and you will deduct it from it." ”

"You're face-giving!"

It was Ding Qiang who cursed, accompanied by the sound of porcelain smashing the ground.

Li Quande didn't accept it when he didn't see it, and his tone was very arrogant: "If I want face, can you two still stand here and talk to me?" If it hadn't been for me—"

Liu Renda shouted: "Li Quande! Holding back his anger, he warned Li Quande, "No matter how many times I have said it, I am not allowed to mention that incident again." ”

Li Quande climbed along the pole, so shameless: "It's okay if you don't mention it, don't mention the million." ”

That's it for the recording.

Zhou Changwei asked Hou Shuqin: "Who gave you the recording?" ”

"I don't know, I received it suddenly at noon today."

There is the sound of a mahjong machine in the recording, that is, the three of them were in a mahjong hall at the time, and the person who could record this conversation should also be a person from the mahjong hall.

"Before the case, did your husband have any conflicts with Liu Renda and Ding Qiang?"

Hou Shuqin's eyes were swollen from crying, and her well-maintained face was ten years old because of the sudden loss of her son, and she thought about it carefully: "They came twice last week, and I don't know what they said, and the three of them quarreled upstairs." ”

Zhou Changwei asked again: "Your husband has been borrowing money from Liu Renda and Ding Qiang, do you know about this?" ”

Hou Shuqin shook her head: "The dead ghost didn't tell me that the money was borrowed, what he told me was that he had a stake in the mahjong parlor, and the money was dividends." ”

She said this when she recorded her confession in the morning.

"In the recording, do you know about the incident that your husband mentioned?"

"All I know is that the three of them used to be from the same factory." Hou Shuqin couldn't stop sobbing, "It must be that dead ghost in my family who knows some secrets, that's why they want to kill them." ”

She collapsed: "If you kill your mouth, you will kill your mouth, why kill my son!" Why kill my son! ”

Why?

Because of the money, Zhou Changwei thought to himself.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Renda and Ding Qiang were invited again.

The two were tried separately, Peng Jianguo and the deputy team were trying Ding Qiang next door, and Zhou Changwei took Wan Mao to try Liu Renda.

"Isn't it a good relationship, why is there a conflict? Did Li Quande threaten you with something? ”

Liu Renda has refined his courage in the casino over the years, and he spoke unhurried and methodically: "Comrade policeman, you have to talk about evidence, what's wrong with the conflict, Li Quande's son owes me a million, I can't lose my temper a little anymore?" ”

Zhou Changwei turned on the recording, and then carefully observed the suspect's facial expressions.

Liu Renda swallowed saliva three times and touched his ears four times.

Zhou Changwei understood a little bit of micro-expression, the suspect was empty-hearted, and after the recording, he looked at the suspect: "Do you still have to quibble?" ”

Liu Renda swallowed again, and his voice was louder than just now: "What am I quibbling about?" ”

Zhou Changwei's eyes were sharp: "Li Quande holds the handle of you and Ding Qiang in his hand, he has been using this handle to ask you two for money all these years, this time it is even more excessive, and he directly owes one million and does not pay it back, so you and Ding Qiang will not do anything and kill both their father and son, am I right?" ”

Liu Renda slapped the table angrily: "I didn't kill anyone!" His eyes were bloodshot, the disposable cup in his hand was pinched and deformed, and he realized that he had overreacted, he took a deep breath and adjusted his emotions, "Comrade policeman, you are so good at making up stories, why don't you sing a big drama." ”

His hands were shaking, and the water in the cup was spilled.

"Didn't kill anyone, what are your hands shaking?"

He put the cup down: "If you slander people without evidence, who knows if you police will be beaten into a trick?" ”

This old slippery head.

Zhou Changwei's intuition told him that this old slippery head must be tired: "Then you explain and explain, what happened back then?" ”

Liu Renda slowly calmed down and coped with it with ease: "It's not a big deal, it's a shame that Li Quande has remembered it for so many years." Back then, the three of us stole the tea from the factory and came out to buy it, and after it was discovered, a few of us thought about it, one person was punished, and three people were punished, so Li Quande was punished alone, but a few days after he was dismissed, Ding Qiang and I were also laid off. ”

After a long passage, there was no pause, and he spoke quite smoothly, as if he had rehearsed countless times.

Ding Qiang's side ended first, and Peng Jianguo listened to Liu Renda's confession in the listening room: "The caliber is exactly the same, and even the words are the same." "Nine times out of ten," he was sure, "it's right." ”

Zhou Changwei hadn't listened to Ding Qiang's words, and was noncommittal: "How long is Tan Wenbin's detention time left?" ”

Peng Jianguo looked at the time: "There are still sixteen minutes to complete twenty-four hours." ”

Without evidence, it can only be detained for twenty-four hours.

Zhou Changwei felt very suspicious from the beginning: "The one million that Li Baoding lost passed through his hands, he is a part-time worker, and he dares to lend such a large amount of money, it is really suspicious, you pay more attention to him." ”

"No problem."

Zhou Changwei went to the big office outside and asked his colleague Xiaogui: "Did you track the recording that Hou Shuqin received?" ”

Xiaogui shook his head: "The other party is a computer master, the technical department said," he shrugged, "No problem." ”

Zhou Changwei thought to himself, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in this small county.

In the evening, the sun sets on the western mountains, and the clouds are full of red.

"Brother Rong."

Rong Li hummed and smoked in the yard.

On the other side of the phone was Tan Wenbin: "Fang Dacheng refused to come out to testify." ”

Didn't you mention earlier that Tan Wenbin's left hand only has three fingers, and the two broken ones were cut off by traffickers when he was a child.

That year, Tan Wenbin was eight years old and Rong Li was ten years old, and it was the same group of people who abducted them, and it was later that Rong Li set fire to the traffickers' nest and they escaped.

Rong Li squatted under the tree, and a thin wisp of smoke came out of his mouth, which enveloped his eyebrows, making his already indifferent gaze even more depressed, and he looked a little world-weary and alienated.

"Then you find a way to get him out."

Cheng Wenbin tried: "It doesn't matter how much money he prescribes, he is afraid of retaliation." ”

Rong Li shook the ashes of his cigarette: "Just ask him, if you are afraid of death." ”

Cheng Wenbin still has concerns: "If it is-"

"No, yes." The voice that had smoked was a little hoarse and low, "Li Quande is dead, this time it's Liu Renda and Ding Qiang's turn." ”

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.

Rong Li looked over: "Who is there?" ”

The door was pushed open, and it was Xu Tanxi.

She carried a canvas bag in her hand, and the orange sunset shattered on her white sweater, as if a halo was lingering around her body.

"You forgot to take the honey." She came in.

Rong Li stared at her directly, with obvious aggressiveness: "Rong Guan's teeth are broken, and I can't eat too much sweet." ”

She brushed off the fallen leaves and stood there, calm and gentle: "The honey is for you, bought at an old woman's stall, I have tasted it, and it tastes very good." ”

Rong Li was under the tree, a few meters away from her: "Did you hear what I said just now?" ”

She bowed her head.

"Then why do you dare to come in?" His faint, playful tone, "Aren't you afraid that I will kill people and kill people?" ”

She approached him, and in her calmness, she saw that her soul was surging: "You didn't kill anyone, did you?" ”

Rong Li didn't answer, his eyes locked on her: "Xu Tanxi, don't believe me too much." ”

The eyes of the love sinus are opened, and they always have their own filters.

Although he had no intention, he always confused her, and when she sobered up later, she would feel ridiculous.

Xu Tanxi shook his head and disagreed: "I don't believe in you, I believe in myself." ”

She only heard the details and didn't know the ins and outs, so she didn't interfere, didn't say a word, and didn't judge right and wrong.

She no longer bothered about the case, and handed over the canvas bag in her hand: "I also took a little tea, it is all flower tea, you can brew it with honey water and drink it." ”

Rong Li didn't answer.

She put it on the ground and looked at him, frowning, frowning: "Sir, smoke less." ”

Why did she let her hear it, and when she was not hot-headed, would she be suspicious? Will it be self-denying? Would you mind? Will he feel ...... The whole person is completely dark and rotten?

Rong Li was irritable: "Leave me alone." ”

"Then I'll go back."

She turned and walked out into the courtyard.

Rong Li subconsciously took a step, and after a pause, he retreated. The step taken is instinct, and the step back is reason.

Xu Tanxi walked to the gate of the courtyard, stopped, hesitated for a while, and turned around.

"It's still going to be managed." Although he told her to leave him alone, she softly advised, "Sir, don't let unworthy people get your hands dirty. ”

She didn't know the cause and effect, but guessed that he probably contributed to the case.

She didn't say much, she only said this sentence, and then picked up her skirt and left.

Rong Li stood in place for a while, looked at the canvas bag on the ground, walked over, squatted down, pushed the cigarette to the ground, and dialed the phone.

"Be measured, don't make a fuss." Rong Li didn't know what he was doing, "It's better to solve it with money." ”

On the phone, Tan Wenbin responded: "Okay, Brother Rong." ”
