Chapter 41 Extortion of Confessions by Torture
In fact, Chen Tao's punch is quite relieving. Ge Yundong was silent on the surface, but he couldn't help but applaud Chen Tao in his heart.
But as the person in charge of the case, Chen Tao's boss, of course he can't stand aside and watch the excitement. Just when Chen Tao raised his fist and wanted to continue beating Li Baoyuan, Ge Yundong grabbed his arm and persuaded him in a good voice: "Ah Tao, calm down, if you fight again, something will happen." ”
Chen Tao's anger was obviously not vented, and the whole person froze there without any intention of backing down. Ge Yundong had no choice but to continue to persuade: "It's almost okay, if you beat it again, it will be regarded as torture to extract a confession." It's not worth punishing yourself for such a bastard. With that, he pointed to the camera installed in the interrogation room.
Ge Yundong's words were very reasonable, Chen Tao knew his identity and responsibilities, and he also understood that the other party was stopping him for his own good. He's not a hairy guy in his twenties anymore, and he can't be too impulsive. It is indeed not worth it to implicate yourself for such a shameless person.
After a moment of stalemate, he put down his fist, glared at Li Baoyuan viciously, and left angrily without saying anything.
After Chen Tao left, Ge Yundong continued to patiently maneuver with Li Baoyuan. Regarding the whereabouts of Li Baofang and Zhang Guoer, Li Baoyuan always insisted on his own rhetoric, and Ge Yundong was so angry that he wanted to go up and slap him twice.
The first interrogation ended in failure, and there was nothing more to gain than to confirm the fact that Zhang Guoer had been killed. Chen Tao and Ge Yundong were more depressed than the other, and the two of them sat in the office, smoking silently, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Ge Yundong said: "I don't think Li Baoyuan is lying, he may really not know the whereabouts of those two people." ”
"You actually believe him?" Chen Tao glanced at Ge Yundong in surprise and said stubbornly, "I think that guy didn't tell us the truth, at least not completely." ”
"And do you have any good way to pry his mouth open?" Ge Yundong asked.
"Nope." Chen Tao shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and said mockingly, "If you don't let me beat him, what else can I do with him." ”
Ge Yundong smiled bitterly, thinking about Li Baoyuan's innocent and scoundrel face, he was also a little confused for a while. "Now that we advocate civilized handling of cases, it is definitely not okay to beat people. In my opinion......" he thought for a moment and said, "let's continue to do his ideological work, so that he will deeply understand the importance of cooperating with us." ”
An hour later, Chen Tao and Ge Yundong came to the interrogation room again. At this time, it was already more than 12 o'clock in the morning, and I don't know when, Li Baoyuan was already sitting in the interrogation chair, hanging his head and falling asleep.
"Damn!" As soon as Chen Tao entered the door, he was angry, "After doing such a heart-wrenching thing, he can still sleep peacefully?" Isn't he afraid of nightmares? ”
"Li Baoyuan!" Ge Yundong shouted, "Get up!" Let's talk. ”
Li Baoyuan did not react.
Chen Tao became even more angry, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Li Baoyuan, you get up for me!" Now is not the time for you to sleep. ”
The other party still did not respond.
Chen Tao and Ge Yundong looked at each other for a moment, and they both had some doubts in their hearts.
"Li Baoyuan!" Chen Tao shouted again.
At this moment, Ge Yundong suddenly realized something and walked inside. He pushed Li Baoyuan's shoulder, but the other party's body just shook gently with his push, but the person still didn't wake up.
Ge Yundong was shocked, and reached out to touch Li Baoyuan's carotid artery, this touch, he suddenly gasped, and there was a buzzing sound in his head, as if something had exploded.
He's dead? Li Baoyuan is actually dead?
Ge Yundong couldn't believe what he was going through, this good old man, who was still alive and well an hour ago, chatting with him face-to-face, why did he suddenly die?
Seeing Ge Yundong standing beside Li Baoyuan like a sculpture, his face like ashes, Chen Tao's heart immediately hung up. "Team Ge, what's wrong with him?"
Ge Yundong turned his head to look at Chen Tao mechanically, and his lips trembled and spit out three words: "He is dead......
"What? He's dead! Chen Tao was really taken aback by this answer, and hurriedly stepped forward to confirm. As soon as he touched Li Baoyuan's neck, his heart instantly cooled by half. Damn, it's not a joke, their suspect is really dead.
"How so?" Chen Tao asked Ge Yundong in confusion, and the latter shook his head blankly, hoping that someone could tell him this answer.
Things turned out to be more than anyone expected. The police were counting on Li Baoyuan to help them find the whereabouts of Li Baofang and Zhang Guoer, but now it seems that everything has come to naught.
After a forensic autopsy, the cause of Li Baoyuan's death was sudden cardiac death. The deceased himself suffered from occult coronary heart disease, and because he usually neglected physical examinations, he and his family did not know about it.
It stands to reason that Li Baoyuan's death should be regarded as an accident, because the police did not know that he was in good health when they interrogated him. But the troublesome thing is that Li Baoyuan died in the interrogation room of the criminal police team after all, plus the deceased had obvious bruises on the left side of his face and the corners of his mouth were cracked.
What the truth of the matter is, no one knows better than Ge Yundong, who personally participated in the interrogation. They had never tortured Li Baoyuan to extract a confession, and Chen Tao's punch was not the direct cause of the suspect's sudden death. However, there are some things that do not seem to matter what the truth is, and the consequences and effects of it determine the attitude and way in which some people deal with it.
Because Li Baoyuan died, Zhang Guoer's case was gone, and the suspect's family made trouble all day long, so that the residents of the entire Yuanfeng Town were extremely dissatisfied with the police, saying that they were incompetent, rude, and that they relied on some means that could not be brought to the table.
The leaders were very angry about this, and the most direct consequence was to find someone to carry the blame. They suspended Ge Yundong for inspection, which was already considered benevolent and righteous compared to Chen Tao. Because of that impulsive punch, Chen Tao was sent to a grassroots police station with difficult conditions, and changed from a promising elite of the criminal police team to a small policeman, and his life became a completely different picture.
At the age of 35, does he still have time to start all over again? He doesn't care about losing the opportunity to get a promotion and a raise, but he is unwilling to give up his dream of being a criminal policeman.
In March 2010, it was the season when spring returned to the earth and everything recovered, but Chen Tao's heart seemed to stop in winter, bleak and cold. The moment he packed up his things and left the criminal police team, he secretly made up his mind that no matter where he was or what position he was in, he would never give up Zhang Guoer's case.
Chen Tao will never forget that somewhere in this world, a cute and well-behaved little girl is still looking forward to someone to take her home. She was originally an angel and should have grown up bathed in the sun, not buried in the darkness and lonely into a pile of bones.
