Chapter 156: Suspect Found
This sudden "throwing in his arms" made Gu Song feel very embarrassed, but seeing Li Xia trembling all over and crying so much that he was almost fainting, he couldn't bear to push the girl away, so he could only stand there motionless under the shocked eyes of his colleagues.
It took several minutes for Lixia's crying to subside. She let go of Gu Song's clothes and tried to stand firm alone, but as soon as she moved her steps backwards, she almost fell to the ground. Seeing her weak appearance, Gu Song hurriedly supported her and asked worriedly, "Li Xia, are you okay?" ”
Li Xia shook his head and said, "I'm fine, I just feel powerless." She wiped her tears, saw a water stain on Gu Song's shoulder, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for staining your clothes." ”
"It's okay." Gu Song smiled at Li Xia indifferently, took the tissue handed by the other party and wiped it on his shoulder a few times.
Seeing the affectionate appearance of the two people, Qiao Sheng, who hadn't spoken for a long time, couldn't help but interject and asked, "You guys, do you know?" ”
Gu Song came back to his senses, afraid that Qiao Sheng would misunderstand something, so he quickly explained: "Li Xia is a student that my mother taught before, and we have met a few times. However, I also just learned that she is the daughter of Vice President Li. ”
Hearing the words "Vice Principal Li", Li Xia's mood began to fluctuate again. She looked anxiously at the half-open door of her office and begged again, "Can you let me in and see my father?" ”
"This ......" Gu Song scratched his hair in embarrassment, thinking of Vice Principal Li's tragic situation, he really couldn't bear to let Li Xia see that scene. It's too chaotic inside, and it's inconvenient to get in right now. ”
"Please, let me go over and take a look, I promise not to destroy the scene."
"Well, why don't you do that......" Gu Song continued to play the round and said, "I'll accompany you to the office next to you to rest for a while, and you can tell me the basic situation of Vice President Li." After all, at this time, the most important thing is to find the suspect. ”
At 3:40 p.m., Qi Ye walked into an old residential building that had fallen into disrepair with a heavy heart. Because the old house built decades ago has many design flaws, even on a sunny afternoon, the whole hallway still looks ghostly.
The corridor, which was not spacious enough, was littered with miscellaneous items from the residents, as if everyone had used the public space outside as their own warehouse. It is conceivable that once such a place catches fire, the only escape route will be blocked by these flammable materials, causing unimaginable consequences.
Qiye stepped on the garbage under his feet and came to the door of Xiaolong's house, hesitated for a moment, and knocked on the door gently. At first, the room was as quiet as stagnant water, and if it weren't for the fact that Xiaolong's motorcycle was parked downstairs, Qiye would have thought that he was not at home. After knocking on the door for two minutes, Xiaolong cautiously asked inside, "Who?" ”
"Open the door, it's me." Qiye replied outside the door.
Hearing that it was Qiye's voice, Xiaolong opened the door with confidence, let out a long breath and said, "If you want to come, say hello first!" I was scared to death, and I thought it was the debt collectors. ”
"I'm sorry, I ......"
"Come in and talk about it." Xiaolong smiled at Qiye and said teasingly, "If it weren't for the fact that the new home was too simple, I wouldn't have hidden from you that you have lived in this ghost place for more than a month." ”
"If it weren't for the exposure of the loan shark, you wouldn't have told me about Uncle Long's illness." Qiye said as he walked into the room. This address was just asked for by Xiaolong yesterday morning, and he asked about the news of Uncle Long's hospitalization and his current condition.
Qi Ye quickly looked around the environment of the room, and his heart was a little heavier. This is a one-bedroom house of more than 30 square meters, and the interior furnishings can only be described as dilapidated. Due to the disrepair of the house, the walls of the house have begun to peel off, and some places have even grown mildew due to dampness. "Xiaolong, it's really hard for you these days. In order to save money for Uncle Long's medical treatment, he even moved to such a house......"
"It's nothing." Xiaolong seemed very optimistic, and in turn comforted Qi Ye and said, "You can't die if you stay for a while." When I pay the money back, I won't be able to live a free life like before. ”
"Pay back the money......" Qiye lowered his head and muttered, his face suddenly becoming ugly. Xiaolong noticed the change in his mood and hurriedly asked, "Xiaoqi, what's wrong with you, is something wrong?" ”
"I ......"
"What the hell is going on? You speak! ”
Qiye glanced up at Xiaolong, with a painful expression on his face, "I'm sorry, Xiaolong, I'm afraid...... Can't get any money......"
"Huh? That's it? Xiaolong laughed twice, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and comforted, "I didn't expect you to pay back the money for me, you don't need to put so much pressure on yourself." Besides, I can't afford it, so I can still sell myself. You see that I am not ugly, young and powerful, it should not be a problem to find a rich woman. ”
Qiye knew that Xiaolong was joking with himself, but at this moment, he couldn't laugh at all. He sighed and sat heavily on the dusty couch. The dragon poured him a glass of water, and he picked it up and drank it down. After a moment of silence, he said slowly: "I originally made an appointment with someone today to talk about borrowing money, but something went wrong halfway. ”
"What's wrong? That person changed his mind and won't lend it to you? ”
"No, that guy he'...... He ...... "I vomited for a long time, gritted my teeth and decided to tell my best brother about it." "The man died, was killed......"
"What?" Xiaolong looked at Qiye and asked in surprise, "How do you know that he was killed?" ”
"I saw it, and his body was lying on the ground, his head was smashed, it was disgusting, it was terrifying." Qiye had a feeling of wanting to vomit as he spoke, Xiaolong quickly poured him another glass of water, and asked eagerly, "Then what?" ”
"And then?" Qiye retched a few times, drank the water in the cup again, and said, "Then I scared away......"
"What? You ran away without calling the police? ”
"No ......"
"Why didn't you call the police?" Xiaolong asked incomprehensibly.
"I was so scared." Qiye held his head regretfully, his ten fingers sunk in his thick hair, and said worriedly, "I'm afraid that the police will suspect that I killed someone." ”
"Then ......" Xiaolong was also a little overwhelmed, swallowed his saliva, and asked worriedly, "People, did you kill you?" ”
"Of course not!" Qiye emotionally explained, "I just went to borrow money. When I got there, he was dead. ”
"But you didn't call the police, so wouldn't you be very suspicious?"
"So what should I do?" Qi Ye was so anxious that he suddenly stood up from the sofa. He didn't expect to get up this time, and the fruit knife that he had been carrying in his pocket suddenly slipped out and fell on the sofa.
Seeing that knife, Xiaolong's heart suddenly sank. He looked at Qi Ye with a distrustful gaze and asked, "Xiao Qi, you tell me the truth, what are you doing today?" ”
"What else can I do, help you borrow money!"
"Why do you want to go with a knife to borrow money?" Xiaolong held the fruit knife in his hand, feeling as if he was holding a murder weapon.
"This, I bought it on the way back." Qiye replied perfunctorily. In any case, he couldn't let Xiaolong know that he had blackmailed Li Tianhua.
"No, you're lying." Xiaolong shook his head in disappointment, "Xiaoqi, aren't we the best brothers?" If there's something you name it, we'll solve it together. Even if you kill someone, I'll ......"
"No, I didn't kill anyone!" Qiye tried his best to defend himself, only then did he realize what a stupid mistake he had made.
At 8 o'clock in the morning on May 23, 2016, at the "5.22 Campus Homicide Case" case discussion meeting, the task force gathered all aspects of the investigation information.
Because the victim Li Tianhua has a wide range of interpersonal relationships, investigators still need some time to sort out his social contradictions. But judging from the current investigation, a suspicious man has come into their sights.
The call record shows that Li Tianhua received a strange call at 19:18 p.m. on May 21, the day before he was killed, and the call lasted for 11 minutes. Through the operator's inquiry, the police learned that the owner of the number is called Qi Ye, 24 years old, and is a resident singer at a bar.
The reason why Qi Ye is suspected of committing a crime is because when the police retrieved the campus surveillance video, they found that Qi Ye entered the administrative building from the main entrance at 12:24 noon on the day of the crime, and then came out of the building at 12:47. Li Tianhua was killed between 12 noon and 1 o'clock, and Qiye was fully equipped with the time to commit the crime.
It can be seen from the monitoring that when Qi Ye entered the administrative building, he hesitated and looked left and right, showing a kind of thief with a weak heart. When he came out of the building, his steps became very hurried, and his expression was very flustered, and there was a tendency to escape. This is completely in line with the emotional performance of ordinary people before and after killing.
The only suspicion is that the victim was killed by a metal hammer hit on the head. The police deduced that the murderer had premeditated murder and had his own murder weapon. However, when Qi entered and exited the administrative building at night, he was empty-handed, and he could not see the shadow of the murder weapon. And it's summer, and Qiye is wearing shorts and shirts, and there is no place to hide such a bulky murder weapon.
In this regard, some people believe that the suspect may have stepped on the spot before committing the crime and hid the murder weapon somewhere in the administrative building, such as a public restroom. After committing the crime, he threw the murder weapon out of the window. Only so far, the police have not found the murder weapon that matches the description inside and outside the administrative building. However, through secret collection, Qiye's fingerprints corresponded to the suspicious fingerprints taken by the trace examiners from the crime scene.
