Thirty-seven. Talk to the boys
I was always following the captain and I didn't know where he was going to take me. Finally, it stopped in front of the warehouse on the first floor.
"There's no monitoring here." The captain said, looking around. "You can tell me what you think now, and although I know what you think, it's better to get it out of your mouth." The captain finished and lit a cigarette.
"Don't smoke here, you're going to be punished if you're caught, and what else can I say?" I don't know if what I'm about to say is what he wants to hear.
"Then I'll give you a start." The captain took a deep breath, and after one inhale and one exhale, the smoke instantly enveloped me, like an interrogation scene. "Don't you want to talk about the relationship between that person named Hexuan and this case."
I knew I couldn't use that mystery man anymore, I said. "I don't know what this case has to do with him, but what I want to say is that he can't have committed a crime, he's a cheerful person."
"A cheerful man can't sin, what kind of logic are you?" The captain immediately retorted.
"If you don't believe it, it's better to ......" I didn't finish my words.
"Then let's go and see, go to his house." After speaking, he took out the cigarette in his hand. "Let's go, I'll wait for you in the car at the door."
I stood there stunned, and it took me a while to come to my senses. I know that dragging it out like this is not a solution, and it seems that a trip to Hexuan's house is unavoidable.
I opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.
"Thinking about it, we're going to go." The captain asked with suspicion.
I didn't squeak and just sat there in a daze, and when I realized that the car was already driving far away by the time I responded to the captain.
"This is it, he lives on the opposite side of my house." I pointed to his door.
The captain looked at me and motioned for me to knock on the door, I knocked three times, only to hear the sound of a door lock, and then it was Su Hai who opened the door, he was wearing pajamas, and his hair was not washed.
"It's Xiao Wang, hurry up, please come in, why do you have time to come to my house?" I don't know if there was sarcasm in his words.
"Ah, this time, I'm here as a police officer." With that, I pulled out my police ID card from my pocket. "Don't be nervous, I'm just here to ask something. And there is nothing else. "My words are as gentle as possible.
Su Hai couldn't figure it out, but he didn't dare not let us in. As a lawyer, he also knows what the consequences of not cooperating with the police are.
I politely thanked the captain and went into the house, put on my slippers and sat down on the sofa.
"Excuse me, who are you?" The captain didn't seem to know Su Hai's identity yet.
"My name is Su Hai, I am a lawyer, and I happen to have no job today." Su Hai explained why he looked like this.
"Mr. Su, may I ask about the people of Hexuan?" I asked as little as I could offend.
"Hey, school will be out at noon in half a minute." Su Hai said.
"Junior high school students are not tired from class now, after all, they have left the safe zone of the elementary school. You need to take care of everything yourself. The captain asked curiously.
"No, now the children are tired, in elementary school, the May Day holiday was at least a week, and now the school will start in three or four days." Su Hai looked a little helpless.
When I heard this, I realized that the May Day holiday in Hexuan was only three or four days long, and I couldn't help but have some sympathy for junior high school students. We chatted like this for a while, and then Hexuan pushed the door in.
"I'm back, I've made your favorite dish in the kitchen, hurry up and eat it." Su Hai said with some orders.
"You go to eat first, it's not too late to ask you questions after eating." I sat on the couch and picked it up.
Hexuan went to the bathroom to wash his hands and went into the kitchen. "Dad, I don't like this dish either." We heard Hexuan's complaints very clearly.
Su Hai's face instantly pulled down, and he opened the sliding door of the kitchen. "I don't eat this, I don't eat that, why don't I like such a delicious dish."
After Su Hai's reprimand, Hexuan didn't say a word. Ten minutes later, He Xuan, who came out of the kitchen, just wiped his mouth and sat on the sofa.
"Uncle policeman will ask you questions later, you have to answer them well." Su Hai did not say soothingly.
"Okay Hexuan, let's start questioning."
After the captain finished speaking, He Xuan nodded reassuringly, "Who are you with after school on May 7th?" ”
"Me and ......" Hexuan didn't want to say the name. Su Hai was so anxious that he couldn't do it. "You, what are you afraid of when the police ask you, you see how cheerful other people's children are day by day, and they can talk to anyone." Su Hai's words made me very angry sitting on the side.
"Yes and Qingyun." The captain's words were very sharp, and although I didn't know what else to ask besides that, I still felt that it was very inappropriate.
"Who is Qingyun, it's a girl." Su Hai scolded beside him.
"You'd better avoid it, it's a conversation between me and Hexuan." The captain's words made me sweep away my previous dissatisfaction with him. Su Hai glared at He Xuan viciously and entered the bedroom.
As soon as Su Hai left, I also put my mind at ease, I made a look, and signaled that I would ask the questions after that, and the captain shrugged his shoulders and agreed.
"Well, yes, I went to the cooking club with Qingyun at the time."
"Do you go every day?"
"Uh-huh, I go every day where I can learn to cook. Cooking is interesting, for example Chinese food and Western food have different practices. He Xuan said with interest.
The Hexuan I know is finally back, "What time did you end that day?" "There is nothing substantive about my questioning, because in my eyes, Hexuan is just a clue.
"About half past six, we usually end at this time."
I turned back to signal to the captain that my questioning was over and I could leave, and I was about to get up when the captain pushed me down.
"I'll ask the rest of the question." The captain looked me in the eye.
"Hexuan, let me ask you, where you were after twelve o'clock on the night of the seventh day, who can prove it."
I thought the captain's words were undoubtedly offensive to Hexuan, and when I was about to stop him, Hexuan spoke.
"Sleep at home, I must be at home that night, only my parents can testify at that time." Hexuan sincerely looked at me and looked at the captain.
"A parent's question can't be used as an alibi."
"I can testify to him, when I saw Hexuan when I arrived at the community after I saw you off, he told me that he was going to buy soy sauce, and I went home and clearly heard the sound of him closing the door to go home, it must be wrong." I rebelled against the captain like a rebel on the front.
"Wow, I see, will he go out again when he gets home?" The captain continued to ask unreasonably.
"No way, I didn't hear him leave since he came home, what can he do if he wants to go out quietly?" I retorted.
This question, which should have belonged to Hexuan, instantly evolved into a duel between me and the captain.
"Okay, let me take a look." The captain came to the security door, and I saw that he looked at the security door carefully. "You're right, I'm wrong to blame Hexuan."
As soon as the captain's words came out, my heart blossomed, and the captain said that I misunderstood, and I think there is a high chance that this case has nothing to do with Hexuan.
"Okay, that's all we have to ask, you can pack up and go to school." The captain said softly.
We said goodbye to Su Hai and Hexuan.
"Can I go to your house for a while?" The captain asked unexpectedly as he stood in front of the elevator.
I was stunned for a moment, "Yes, but it's work time." ”
"It's okay, it's also official business."
The elevator door opened, and there were several junior high school students and a few people who looked like parents standing inside.
"I'm sorry, I pressed the wrong one, I bothered." I apologize. I saw a few parents look at us, and I didn't care about it, so I quickly turned around and opened the door of my house.
"Please come in, I haven't cleaned up a little mess." I'll be polite.
The captain didn't enter the house, he stood in the doorway, half outside, half inside. "Don't you wonder why I don't think Crane Xuan didn't leave on the night of the seventh?"
"Ah, why?" Actually, I'm curious, but I think since the captain doesn't suspect Hexuan, there's no need for me to continue asking.
The captain pointed to the security door of my house. "Both of you have similar doors, they both have three deadbolts, and the top one is the one that locks when the door is closed, and this deadbolt is generally not very strong like this." The captain easily pressed the deadbolt in with his hand. The captain kept repeating the action.
"And what does that prove?"
"In this case, you can go out even if the door is closed, the method is actually very simple, that is, stick transparent tape to the deadbolt, so that no matter how you close the door, the door will be easily opened, and the sound you hear close is just the sound of the door hitting the door frame, but it is not locked." The captain reasoned.
"Then why don't you doubt it?"
"It's also very simple, do you remember what sound you heard when Su Hai opened the door after we knocked on the door."
"There was a bang, it was the sound of the door opening and locking." When I said this, it dawned on me.
The captain saw my surprised expression. "That's right, just like you think, his family has a habit of locking, if he still locks during the day, let alone when he sleeps at night. You look at the two deadbolts below, they are very firm compared to the top ones, no matter how you press them, they will not be pressed down, this is the security of the anti-lock. So in the case of anti-locking, I think it is impossible to go out without leaving a sound, besides, ......" The captain stopped talking.
"Besides what."
"Besides, Hexuan is only a minor." The captain went into the house and closed the door.
I finally found someone who shared my opinion, "Yes, you're right, he's a kid after all." ”
"But, don't you think his personality is abnormal?" The captain lit a cigarette. "You don't mind if I smoke a cigarette."
"It's okay, I'll just open the window in a moment." I politely replied. "It's not normal." That's when I reacted to the captain's question.
"Didn't you notice? He doesn't feel the same in front of his father as he does in front of us. You told me he was very cheerful, but when I first met him, I didn't think you were right, but after his father left, Hexuan seemed to be a different person, and actually talked to us about cooking. "The captain's words seemed to ask for my opinion.
"I think it's probably because I'm embarrassed in front of my parents." That's all I can say.
"Okay." The captain's words revealed unwillingness.
The two of us didn't even enter the house, just chatted at the door.
"Where are we going in the afternoon?" I asked.
"I don't know, I think it's time for us to go to the club room."
I snorted.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw a man I knew all too well walk in front of me. It's Murong Yang, what is he doing here, he walked towards Unit Seven, it should be to Qingyun's house, I thought to myself.
"What's wrong?" The captain asked behind me.
"No, let's go to the club room."
