On the afternoon of June 24

Under the unified deployment of the criminal investigation detachment of the Jiangbei District Public Security Bureau, Huang Fangyuan led Wang Xiangrui, Lin Xuan, and Ge Bin to rush to the vicinity of the "Xiaolin" watch shop to wait for an ambush before 15 o'clock in the afternoon.

Everything has been deployed, and everyone is waiting for the suspect to throw himself into the net.

A Roewe sedan with a black civilian license plate was parked across the street 30 meters from the "Kobayashi" watch shop. Ge Bin and Wang Xiangrui sat in the front and passenger seats respectively, and their eyes were firmly locked on the door of the "Xiaolin" watch shop.

A quarter of an hour had passed since the suspect had said at 16 o'clock, but he had not yet appeared, and a sense of unease spread among the police officers waiting for the ambush.

"Could the other party have already noticed our existence and not come?" Ge Bin, who couldn't bear it, couldn't help but ask Wang Xiangrui beside him first.

Wang Xiangrui looked up at the store of a real estate agent 50 meters away diagonally, next door to the "Xiaolin" watch shop. At this time, Huang Fangyuan and Lin Xuan were there paying close attention to the crowd passing by. The radio station in Wang Xiangrui's hand was unusually quiet, without a sound, and it was obvious that the suspect had not yet appeared.

"It's hard to say, wait patiently, maybe the other party has something to delay, and now it's only a quarter of an hour." Wang Xiangrui comforted Ge Bin while expressing his dissatisfaction with his breathless performance, "How can you handle cases with your impetuous character?" Handling cases is the most taboo and impetuous. If you want to continue to follow your boss, you have to change your temper, and you must be patient and steady. ”

Just when the two were distracted, Huang Fangyuan's voice came over the radio: "The suspect has appeared, arrest immediately." ”

The two immediately stopped talking and rushed to the watch shop across the street. Because the physical characteristics of the suspect were relatively obvious, Huang Fangyuan and others recognized the suspect at a glance. As soon as he walked into the store, the police rushed up from behind him and knocked him to the ground with lightning speed. The other party obviously didn't expect such an encounter with him, so he obediently tied his hands and was captured.

In the interrogation room, the suspect looked dazed, and he was at a loss for what questions the police threw out one after another, and he had no way to answer them.

On the computer desktop, the cursor rests on the information bar of the person being interrogated. It shows that the person questioned is named Lu Qifeng, a native of Xuancheng, Anhui Province, and his date of birth is September 23, 1978.

Lin Xuan was anxious and kept tapping the table with his right index finger, facing the suspect Lu Qifeng flatly denying all the accusations of criminal acts against him, he showed unusual uneasiness due to his own lack of experience and lack of effective coping methods.

Wang Xiangrui on the side was calm and relaxed, obviously with a look of "it doesn't matter if you don't explain, Lao Tzu will consume you to the end".

"Again, where were you between 6 and 8 a.m. on June 19?" Wang Xiangrui threw out the question he had asked again.

"Officer, I already told you, I sell fish in the Beijiang vegetable market."

Lu Qifeng looked both aggrieved and helpless, he had agreed to pick up the watch, but he didn't want to be arrested at the police station. For him, it was the first time in his 40 years of life that he had been in such close proximity to the police.

"Every day at 2:30 a.m., my wife and I go to the seafood market to sell fish, and I start selling fish at around 5:30 a.m., and I basically stay in the market all morning. Every day. If you don't believe me, you can ask my wife and the other vendors around. ”

"Naturally, we were going to ask. All you have to do is answer the questions I asked. Lin Xuan was very impatient, obviously he had heard this answer before, and it was not the answer he wanted.

"Where did you get this watch?" Wang Xiangrui picked up the evidence bag containing the watch on the table, shook it in front of Lu Qifeng, and asked slowly and unhurriedly.

"I said it before. A few days ago—I can't remember the exact day—it seemed like it was around 8 o'clock in the evening of the 18th, when my wife and I were cleaning up the fish stall and dumping waste water in a plastic bucket, we saw a watch next to the bucket. At that time, I was thinking that the person who bought the fish might have dropped the watch, and that it might come and take it in a few days. As a result, after waiting for three or four days, no one came to ask about this watch. I see that this watch is quite new, and it is still running the time normally, but the buckle is broken, and it can still be worn if it is repaired. This morning, I took this watch to the Kobayashi watch shop to have it repaired. Who knew it was stolen? If I had known this, I would rather throw it away than pick it up. Speaking of this, Lu Qifeng's emotions began to be a little excited, and he paused and beat his legs. Officer, it was not easy for my wife and I to come to Shanghai from Anhui to mix. We sell fish for a living, and we operate on a small budget. Although there are also behaviors of shortages and shortages, they are still honest people, and we dare not do those things that are secretly abducted! You have to trust me. ”

Wang Xiangrui has been carefully observing Lu Qifeng's every move from beginning to end, and what he said is likely to be the truth. Seeing that if he asked again, he would get nothing more than the same answer as the above, he leaned sideways on Lin Xuan's shoulder, whispered to him for a while, and then turned around and walked out.

After Wang Xiangrui went out, an assistant police officer walked into the interrogation room and guarded Lu Qifeng with Lin Xuan.

Wang Xiangrui left the interrogation room, walked through the case acceptance hall, and came to the door of the public security mediation room on the side, where he gently pushed open the door of the mediation room. In addition to Huang Fangyuan and Ge Bin in the mediation room, there was also a woman in her forties, Lu Qifeng's wife, who was sobbing with snot and tears at this time.

"Officer, my husband is a very honest and responsible person, and he will never do this kind of hurtful thing. The watch was really picked up at the stall, and it was definitely not stolen. ”

Huang Fangyuan's eyebrows were tightly locked, obviously a little tired of the woman's crying. Also, after so many years as a police officer, I have seen many women crying, making trouble and hanging themselves, and it is normal to get tired of it. At this time, he heard the door behind him being pushed open, so he looked back and saw Wang Xiangrui standing outside the door, and quickly got up and walked to the door.

As soon as he brought the door with his backhand, Huang Fangyuan hurriedly said, "How's the interrogation?" Have the suspects confessed? ”

Wang Xiangrui shook his head and replied helplessly: "This Lu Qifeng should not be the suspect we want to arrest." ”

Huang Fangyuan looked very calm, as if he had expected this to be the answer.

"Let's talk about it."

Lu Qifeng said that the watch was picked up at his fish stall. At the time of the crime, he was selling fish, and his wife and the surrounding vendors could testify. Wang Xiangrui made a brief report to Huang Fangyuan on the results of his interrogation, "But one thing is very strange, Lu Qifeng said that the time he picked up the watch was on the evening of the 18th, that is, the day before the crime." ”

"Do you think he's telling the truth?" Huang Fangyuan asked.

"It's not like lying." Wang Xiangrui replied categorically.

"That's what his wife said, too." Huang Fangyuan clasped his hands around his chest and thought for a moment, "The husband and wife are in agreement, if it wasn't said in advance, it should be the truth." ”

"If what they say is true, then there is something wrong with this case. How could the watch that was lost on the 18th be snatched again on the morning of the 19th? ”

"If Lu Qifeng didn't lie, then someone else must be lying." Huang Fangyuan lowered his arms, turned to Wang Xiangrui and said, "In this way, I will report the situation here to Deputy Director Cui first, and we will have a meeting in a while." ”

The hour hand was already pointing to 9 p.m., and Huang Fangyuan pushed open the office door and walked in. Looking around at the other three team members in the office, except for Wang Xiangrui, Lin Xuan and Ge Bin were full of doubts and frustration. The result of the interrogation was too unexpected for them, it was really a joy and an empty one, I thought that the suspect had been caught, but I didn't expect it to be a bamboo basket to draw water, and I saw a victory turn into a mirror, which hit the enthusiasm of the two young men hard.

Huang Fangyuan also felt that today's day was almost like a roller coaster, from having no clue to successfully arresting the suspect, and then to denying the suspect's suspicion of committing the crime, he was busy and happy, and everything seemed to be back to the original point. However, as a sergeant, no matter how tired and depressed a person is, he must be strong and set a good example for the team members. If he also shows frustration, then the entire group centered on him will lose its combat effectiveness.

He licked his dry lips and slapped his palms hard to cheer up the team members: "It's okay, although the wrong person was arrested, this is a good omen, indicating that we have begun to make progress." Next, we're going to get to the bottom of the case and see what's going on. Maybe we'll be able to figure this case out, and we'll not be far from catching the real murderer. Don't be discouraged. ”

"Yes, Lao Huang is right. At least today we have made some progress on the case. Wang Xiangrui also cheered up the two young men, "We also had such a situation in the previous cases, it seems that we have taken some detours, but in fact, it is not far from victory, everyone gritted their teeth and persevered." ”

Huang Fangyuan continued: "Now I will talk about the next direction of work. First of all, the watch must be seized as evidence first, and in addition, the criminal team means that before the facts are fully verified, Lu Qifeng will also be temporarily detained, and the person will be released when the summons period expires. Again, early tomorrow morning, Xiao Lin and Xiao Ge will go to the vegetable market to visit and verify what Lu Qifeng said. Lao Wang and I went to Shibei Hospital once, and I wanted to meet the victim in person. ”
