Chapter 570: Proving Innocence
Zhuo Lefeng guessed that this was a familiar face, but he didn't dare to wonder who it was. The heavy breathing made him feel pressure in his heart, and by Jin Xiaochen's side, he felt that the air around him was condensing. Until he finally saw the victim's face, the horror and incredulity were written on his face. In any case, he did not expect such an outcome.
"How could it be him!"
"Looks like you know him!" Jin Xiaochen carried a bag of evidence, which was wrapped in a mobile phone, "I have asked people to check, in the past few days, he has several records of talking to you." In addition to that, he should have called you before he was killed. Zhuo Lefeng, are you going to say something to me! ”
The victim in front of him was none other than the policeman who Zhuo Lefeng asked him to help investigate the "ghost of Chen Yuran". Now, Zhuo Lefeng finally knows that the real name of this policeman is Cai Zhongxiong.
Although he didn't know the inside story yet, Zhuo Lefeng vaguely felt that Cai Zhongxiong's death might be related to what he had investigated before. A leisurely feeling of guilt gripped his heart, and he touched his forehead, his breathing becoming heavier. The nerves that had been relieved by Jin Shuya were tense again at this moment.
"Any progress?"
"Aren't you supposed to answer my question first?"
"I'll tell you, but can you tell me what's going on!" Zhuo Lefeng's eyes were slightly red, "He is indeed helping me investigate some things, but I'm not sure if his death has anything to do with that incident." ”
Jin Xiaochen looked at Zhuo Lefeng's eyes, with her understanding of Zhuo Lefeng, she knew that the man in front of her was under tremendous pressure. At this moment, Zhuo Lefeng needs his trust.
"The body was found almost two hours ago by a couple near Jixiang Street while wandering in the mountains. After receiving the report, the local police station immediately dispatched the police, and the police officers recognized this person at a glance as Cai Zhongxiong, a police officer from the Jixiang Street Police Station. Cai Zhongxiong was supposed to come to work today, but he never showed up and did not call. Subsequently, the police station immediately notified us of the criminal investigation team. The medical examiner immediately identified the body and initially believed that the time of death of the deceased was around 1 a.m. The cause of death was suffocation by a person with a rope around his neck. Apart from Choi Jong-hung's belongings, we have found no other evidence for the time being. I also asked people to check Cai Zhongxiong's call records, so I found out that you and Cai Zhongxiong have been in close contact recently. And before Cai Zhongxiong died, his last phone call happened to be a call with you at 11 o'clock last night. ”
Zhuo Lefeng said: "We had dinner together last night, and the end time of the meal was almost half past eight. Then I did go to Cai Zhongxiong! ”
At this moment, Zhuo Lefeng had to tell the story of Chen Yuran's ghost.
Jin Xiaochen finally understood what had happened to Zhuo Lefeng these days. All this pressure made Zhuo Lefeng's spirit collapse, but even so, Zhuo Lefeng still cracked the Tan Aimin case.
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm trying to figure it out and I'm telling you, after all, it's too wicked. Also, I don't know my status, so I want to wait and see. I didn't expect that my wait-and-see would wait for Cai Zhongxiong's murder! Patting his head, Zhuo Lefeng said in annoyance, "It's my fault." ”
Jin Xiaochen grabbed his wrist: "Now is not the time to blame yourself. To find out, you have to tell me everything you know. ”
"Yesterday after the dinner, I called Cai Zhongxiong. Choi Jong-hung told me that he had made a new discovery and asked me to wait for him near his house. So I went to the neighborhood of Cai Zhongxiong's house, but I didn't wait for Cai Zhongxiong. I called Cai Zhongxiong again. He told me that I couldn't come back for the time being, and told me to go home first, and then he would contact me. I went home and waited, but until after eleven o'clock, Cai Zhongxiong hadn't called me, so I had to call him. After the phone was connected, Cai Zhongxiong didn't say much, and his voice was very low. Just told me that now he's working on something and then he's contacting me. Because I was looking for him alone, I thought it would be difficult for him. So I hung up the phone and didn't contact him after that. Unexpectedly, he was killed! ”
From Zhuo Lefeng's description, it can be seen that Cai Zhongxiong did encounter something last night. And he made it clear before that he had found a new clue and wanted to communicate with Zhuo Lefeng. The last phone call between the two was around eleven o'clock, and the time of Cai Zhongxiong's murder was around 1 a.m. This means that in the middle of an hour and a half, Cai Zhongxiong has a big problem.
The premise of all this is that Zhuo Lefeng is not lying!
"As a friend, I believe, but as a police officer, you know our principles! You need to say these things again. Jin Xiaochen pointed not far away, "Let Zhang Shaowei be in charge of your transcript!" ”
Zhuo Lefeng knew that all this was fine, and he also felt that he was implicated, and he was afraid that it would affect the handling of the case. But Cai Zhongxiong may die because of himself, and this guilt makes Zhuo Lefeng unable to stop.
After returning to the bureau for routine questioning, Zhuo Lefeng could feel that everyone in the criminal investigation team deliberately avoided talking about the case. He also knew what everyone was afraid of, and even he understood that all this might be Jin Xiaochen's order. These are all right, it's just that Zhuo Lefeng can't wait.
Seeing everyone discussing the case far away from him, Zhuo Lefeng couldn't sit still, and he finally pushed open the door of Hu Chuguang's office.
Before he could speak, Hu Chuguang pointed out Zhuo Lefeng's intention.
"You want to participate in the investigation of the Cai Zhongxiong case!" Hu Chuguang was direct enough, "But you know that you are also a suspect now." ”
"But you know better, it's impossible for me to kill Cai Zhongxiong!" Zhuo Lefeng was a little emotional, "Hu Ju, no matter what, it was me who involved Cai Zhongxiong. Now that Choi Jong-woong is dead, I want to know the truth behind it more than anyone else. I know the rules, and people avoid me investigating cases, because they are worried that my presence will affect everyone's judgment. I don't want to get involved in the group investigation, I want to investigate alone, as long as it doesn't stop me from investigating. ”
"You want to go it alone again!" Hu Chuguang's tone strengthened, "If it's another case, I don't object." But so far in this case, you are not a small suspect. If you're still going it alone, I'm afraid it's even more intelligible. ”
"Then I can't wait! Now that everyone doesn't give me the latest clues, my eyes are black, and I don't do anything? ”
In front of Hu Chuguang, Zhuo Lefeng behaved more realistically. He was irritable like an anxious child, as if he desperately needed the support of his parents.
Hu Chuguang does regard Zhuo Lefeng as his own child, and he knows the child's temperament. Not to mention that there is no motive for killing, even if Zhuo Lefeng fluctuates a little, Hu Chuguang does not believe that Zhuo Lefeng killed a policeman.
After pondering for a moment, Hu Chuguang opened the drawer and threw over a folder that had been prepared a long time ago: "I knew you would come to me!" ”
The corners of Zhuo Lefeng's mouth moved, and he couldn't wait to take it.
When I opened it, it was indeed Cai Zhongxiong's case information that had been sorted out a long time ago.
In addition to the situation that Jin Xiaochen has already told Zhuo Lefeng, this latest information also states Cai Zhongxiong's situation yesterday.
Cai Zhongxiong left the police station at eight o'clock yesterday, and Zhuo Lefeng called Cai Zhongxiong after half past eight, and until after eleven o'clock, Cai Zhongxiong did not return home.
Someone has seen Cai Zhongxiong go to Beizheng Street for dinner!
"We ate at Beizheng Street last night!" Zhuo Lefeng was surprised, "We ended at half past eight, and it was almost half past eight when he was seen on Beizheng Street. ”
"It's a coincidence, isn't it?" Hu Chuguang hugged his arm, "You continue to look down." ”
"Around ten o'clock, someone saw him appear in Wufeng Square!" Zhuo Lefeng's brows furrowed even tighter, "The place I rented is very close to Wufeng Plaza. ”
"It's a coincidence, isn't it? In addition, the place of his death is in the back hill behind Jixiang Street, which is not far from your parents' house, and it is still the place where we secretly connected before. All these coincidences seem to prove that Cai Zhongxiong's death is inseparable from you! Now I understand why everyone wants to avoid you, the more clues and evidence come out, the less dare you take the initiative to get involved. Zhuo Lefeng, I'll show you these things It's already a violation, if you're doing something out of the ordinary, I'm afraid we'll all have to change people immediately if our butts aren't hot. ”
Without the slightest hesitation, Zhuo Lefeng tilted his head and looked over: "I know you're not afraid." ”
"So you can continue to trick me?" Hu Chuguang buried and said, "Boy, you can investigate this case alone, but remember for me, if you have a problem, you must communicate with me or Jin Xiaochen as soon as possible, and you must not deal with it privately." Also, if Chen Yuran's ghost is related to Cai Zhongxiong's death, the forces behind it are bound to be not simple. I'm wondering if the one who died at the beginning was a fake Zhuang Zeyuan, will there be a real Zhuang Zeyuan this time. ”
If it is really Zhuang Zeyuan, then this matter is indeed not easy to solve. The fake Zhuang Zeyuan can toss Zhuo Lefeng, if it is true......
There is so much information in the case file, Zhuo Lefeng has no support from the rest of the criminal investigation team, so he has to find the answer by himself.
Fortunately, Jin Xiaochen was also greeted by Hu Chuguang, and he would provide some help to Zhuo Lefeng in a timely manner, but at the same time, Zhuo Lefeng also needed to understand that if this case was not solved, he was actually a suspect.
Cai Zhongxiong said that he had found a new clue, but he did not tell Zhuo Lefeng that he died. This is strange! Although he is not very familiar with Cai Zhongxiong, in the past few days of contact with him, Zhuo Lefeng also roughly knows that this policeman is not a chronic son. If he knew the answer, he would have explained it to Zhuo Lefeng early in the morning. Therefore, Zhuo Lefeng didn't hear an answer after two phone calls, so there was only one possibility.
"Cai Zhongxiong knows how to find new clues, but he hasn't managed to get in touch with this layer of clues, so he can't tell me anything. So he was going to tell me when he had the exact news. And this exact news may be what it should have appeared last night! Zhuo Lefeng pondered the possibility, "There are indeed coincidences in the world, but too many coincidences may be an inevitability." Cai Zhongxiong appeared in Beizheng Street and Wufeng Square last night, and finally died in the back hill of Jixiang Street, if all this is related to the killing, then the people who led him to these places are very suspicious! ”
