When An Ziyang entered the interrogation room for the first time, he was so nervous that he didn't know how to place his hands and feet, especially in the face of Xia Shi's cold face, he regretted that he didn't explain things clearly earlier.

In fact, as early as more than a month ago, not long after his mother died, he secretly decided to find the driver who caused the accident and let that person go to his mother's funeral. It took him a lot of effort to find out Ma Zhichen's whereabouts, and he followed and observed him many times in the following time, hoping to find a way to kill him without leaving any flaws.

Because the school curriculum is relatively intense, he does not have enough time to prepare for this matter, plus he is timid by nature, he has not done anything bad since he was a child, he has been entangled in how to do it to alleviate the fear in his heart, for this reason he also studied some mystery novels, but found that the killing methods in the book are too difficult to implement, so he had to give up the idea of imitation.

As the days passed, he was anxious, but he never came up with a feasible plan. Until one day, he followed Ma Zhichen to a bar, and the idea of "poisoning" suddenly appeared in his mind: maybe he could secretly add poison to the other party's wine glass while Ma Zhichen was leaving his seat.

However, this idea was only strangled in the cradle when it was just germinated, because since the day of the fight, he could not find any trace of Ma Zhichen, let alone poison the other party's wine glass.

"Wait!" Xia Shi interrupted An Ziyang's narration and asked curiously, "You said that you followed Ma Zhichen to a bar, and since that day, Ma Zhichen has disappeared?" ”

"I can't find him anyway, I don't know where he went."

"What day was that?" Xia Shi asked eagerly.

"Yes...... Let me think about it......" An Ziyang rolled his eyes upward, trying to recall, "I remember it was late September, on a Tuesday, and I skipped class that night, and was recorded as absent from class by the teacher who taught criminal law. ”

"Late September, Tuesday ......" Xia Shi muttered as he opened the calendar on his phone and confirmed, "It should be September 26th, which coincides with the time of the needle eye left on his arm......

"What needle's eye?" An Ziyang didn't seem to understand what Xia Shi was talking about.

Xia Shi ignored him and continued to ask, "Which bar did you follow Ma Zhichen to?" What did you see that night? Do you remember who he came into contact with? ”

"The bar is called April Day, and it's a mess and the music is loud. At first, Ma Zhichen was just sitting there drinking alone, and he didn't seem to be in a good mood. Later, perhaps in the mood for drinking, he went to talk to girls who didn't have a male partner. After about half an hour, he left the bar with a hot girl......"

"You went out with them, too?"

"Hmm......" An Ziyang nodded embarrassedly, "Out of the bar, those two got into a taxi." Originally, I also called a car behind me and asked the driver to follow them, but I didn't expect that the driver's skills were not good, and I lost the target halfway through. ”

"Do you remember the girl who left with Ma Zhichen?"

"Of course I do." An Ziyang replied very confidently.

Xia Shi immediately reacted, "By the way, you are following Ma Zhichen, you must have taken a lot of photos secretly, right?" ”

An Ziyang grinned awkwardly, and replied honestly: "It's all in my phone album, you can take whatever you want, anyway, those photos are useless to me." ”

After asking these questions, Xia Shi found that the case was really getting more and more complicated.

Combined with the eye of the needle in Ma Zhichen's arm and his strange behavior before he was killed, Xia Shi felt that the mysterious woman in the bar might be the key to solving the puzzle. Ma Zhichen died because of an overdose of drugs, and the woman who left the bar with Ma Zhichen may have something to do with drugs, so could the murderer in this case also be related to the woman?

In other words, An Ziyang's stalking behavior may have inadvertently provided them with very important clues to solve the case. Perhaps the truth of the case is not as he initially speculated, that is, An Ziyang hired a murderer to avenge his mother, but related to the drug trade or other unknown reasons.

With regard to An Ziyang's conduct, in accordance with article 22 of the Criminal Law, creating conditions for committing a crime, such as stepping on the spot, following, understanding, and grasping the rules of the activities of the target of the crime, and determining the best place and time, is a preparation for the crime, constitutes a criminal act, and should bear criminal responsibility, and may be mitigated, commuted, or exempted from punishment by comparison with the completed offense.

Before the truth of the matter is revealed, the punishment of An Ziyang has yet to be decided. If it turns out that Ma Zhichen's death really has nothing to do with him, and he provides the police with important clues to solve the case, then what he did can be exempted from prosecution. Otherwise, his identity would not be as simple as a "preparatory offender".

At the end of the interrogation, Xia Shi temporarily seized An Ziyang's mobile phone. opened the album and flipped through it roughly, and he saw that almost all of those dense photos were taken secretly by Ma Zhichen, who was almost like the paparazzi. He didn't have time to check them one by one, so he directly searched for September 26 by date, clicked on a relatively clear photo and asked An Ziyang, "Is this woman who left the bar with Ma Zhichen?" ”

"That's her, yes." An Ziyang replied briskly, was silent for a few seconds, and then timidly peeked at Xia Shi and asked, "Officer Xia, can I go back to school now?" ”

Xia Shi looked at the honest-looking fat boy in front of him angrily and funny, and called one of his subordinates and said, "Xiao Qin, you can send him back to school." By the way, take this photo to the taxi company to check it out, and see which driver picked up Ma Zhichen and the mysterious woman at the door of the April Day Bar on the night of September 26, and be sure to find out where they got off. ”

In the middle of the night, a tall, thin, dark-skinned man hurried through rows of low, dilapidated houses to a nondescript two-story building. As if afraid of being followed, he stood in the doorway, looked around cautiously, and when he was sure that he was alone in the dark alley, he raised his hand and patted the rusty iron door.

Ten seconds later, with a "creaking" sound, the iron door opened a gap, revealing the dim light inside. The man pushed the door and walked in, said hello to the young man who opened the door, and was about to continue walking inside, when the young man suddenly stopped him and said, "Old Hei, Brother Tang is in a bad mood, pay attention to your proportions when you speak." ”

"Well, I know." The man sighed helplessly, and said in his heart that nine days had passed since that incident, and it was uncomfortable for anyone to change it. He can understand the boss's feelings, but it is not easy to complete the task given to him by the other party.

"Brother Tang is waiting for you in the innermost room on the second floor." The young man kindly reminded, "Don't be too surprised by what you see in the room later." ”

The man nodded, didn't ask anything, and walked straight up the stairs in the northeast corner.

Coming to the strip hallway on the second floor, the man looked at the innermost brown wooden door and took a deep breath. When he pushed the door and walked into the room, he was instantly choked by the strong smell of incense and candles inside, and at the same time, a bone-chilling chill swept over him, causing him goosebumps all over his body.

"Brother Tang, what are you ......" The man obviously forgot the advice the young man had just given him, and looked at the scene in front of him in amazement, and was speechless for a while.

The dimly lit room was filled with a thick smog, and the only light came from the flickering incense and candles on the altar. In the empty room, there is no furniture, only a huge freezer in the center, which is eye-catching and eye-catching.

The man didn't have to think about it to know what was in that freezer. Despite this, he couldn't control his pace and walked slowly towards the center of the room. Just after walking a few steps, the man who was called "Brother Tang" by his subordinates suddenly shouted: "Lao Hei, she is asleep, don't go over and disturb her!" ”

The man was so frightened that he trembled, immediately stopped, looked at Brother Tang in confusion and asked, "Boss, why did you move her body here?" ”

"This place is safe, secluded, and no one disturbs her, isn't it just the right place for her to sleep quietly."

"But ......"

As soon as the man opened his mouth, Brother Tang raised his hand to signal him to shut up, and changed the topic and asked, "Is there any news about the person I asked you to find?" ”

"I heard that kid has been detained by the police for a few days, probably yesterday or the morning before yesterday......"

"And then?" Brother Tang asked coldly with a frown, as if he was not satisfied with this answer.

"I've sent someone to keep a close watch on his residence and the few places he frequents, and as soon as he appears, I promise to complete the task you have assigned."

"So you haven't gained anything at all so far?"

"Boss, you can't say that, I've been trying hard to find someone for you, but it's just ......"

"Rubbish! It's all fucking rubbish! Before the man's words were finished, Tang's anger burned suddenly. He waved his arms, trying to grab something nearby and throw it at the man's body, but he couldn't find anything to use to vent his anger other than the offerings and candles on the altar. "!" He scolded viciously, "How many days have passed, and you guys can't even find a little white face, what the are you eating?" ”

"Brother Tang, we really tried our best. If you really can't do it, you can only call the police. ”

"Call the police? Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? ”

"No, I'm just kidding......"

"Get out!" Brother Tang stretched out his hand and pointed to the door, glaring at the man angrily, "I'll give you the last three days, if you still can't find that bastard, you can take all the people under your command and get out of here!" ”
