Chapter 6: Old Things
In the interrogation room, the man in the black robe leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed. That calm and composed, as if he was just being invited by an old friend for a cup of tea at the moment. Xiao Rongzheng and Xie Wencong sat opposite him, only to feel that the case was becoming more and more confusing, and the original victim had no clue, but now he was involved in the disappearance case three years ago.
"Name?" Xiao Rongzheng asked.
"Ha, Officer Xiao, are you kidding me?" Hongji smiled, and the look in his eyes was a little disdainful.
"I'm not kidding you, I hope you'll cooperate with our work. Name! Xiao Rongzheng's expression was serious, responding to Hong Ji's provocation. Although he didn't say anything excessive, the oppression in his eyes made Hongji sit up straight.
"Hongji"
"Age?"
"Thirty-five"
"Occupation?"
"Director of a pharmaceutical company."
"Relationship with the deceased?"
"Officer Xiao, there are two of you in total, which one are you asking?" Hongji reached out and touched his lips, and leaned his back back against the back of the chair with some relaxation. When Xiao Rongzheng saw him like this, he knew that he didn't know that Li Su's body had been discovered.
He sneered and said, "Of course it's the third, the one found in your secret room." What is your relationship? ”
Hearing this, the man, who was still relaxing, suddenly tightened his body, and the composure he had just now had disappeared without a trace at this moment. He looked at Xiao Rongzheng directly, trying to distinguish the truth from the fake from his eyes, trying to find out the flaws in the other party's lie.
Hong Ji thought for a while, and sat back relaxedly, "Officer Xiao is really good at laughing, what third, why can't I understand what you're saying?" Besides, how did I not know that I still had a secret room? Officer Xiao, you can't just stuff a crime into me for the sake of investigating the case! What, lie to me? ”
Xiao Rongzheng didn't waste time with him, and directly threw the photos taken in the secret room in front of Hong Ji.
"The secret room is in the bathroom of your lounge, and the password is Li Su's birthday, 0421. As for the third deceased, of course, it was Li Su inside. ”
Seeing Hong Ji's face full of disbelief, he sighed and continued, "Say it yourself, if you don't cooperate well now, you have to say it sooner or later." ”
Hong Ji stretched out his hand, picked up the photo of Li Su in the crystal coffin, and gently rubbed it. It was as if he was touching his lover's face. He sighed and laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "It's me who thinks you're too incompetent, I didn't expect you to have some ability." Forget it, like you said, sooner or later, it's better to get rid of it early. ”
He picked up Li Su's photo and shook it at Xiao Rongzheng, "This is my wife." ”
"Why are you calling the police to report that your wife is missing when she is dead?" Xiao Rongzheng asked.
Xiao Rongzheng's words made Hong Ji smile bitterly, he looked into Xiao Rongzheng's eyes and asked him, "Officer Xiao, have you ever loved someone?" The kind of love that is integrated into the blood, deep into the bone marrow, and wants her to belong to her completely. Li Su is the person I love, so even if she dies, I want her to be with me forever and by my side. After speaking, Hong Ji kissed Li Su deeply in the photo.
Looking at the almost crazy appearance of the man opposite, Xiao Rongzheng rubbed his somewhat swollen forehead. Then he stretched out his hand, pulled Li Su's photo out of Hong Ji's hand, wiped the saliva on it with a tissue, put it aside, and continued to ask, "Since you love her so much, how can you bear to kill her?" ”
Hong Gi looked at the empty hand, and his eyes slowly turned red and became moist. He reached out and wiped his eyes, and whispered, "Believe it or not, I didn't kill her." ”
"What did you say!" Xiao Rongzheng was a little incredulous.
Hongji excitedly stood up from his chair, slapped the table, and roared, "I said, I didn't kill her!" Xie Wencong hurriedly stepped forward and pressed him to the chair at once. The man sat there a little dejected, muttering, "I didn't kill her......"
At this moment, Xu Ranran, who was sitting in the monitoring room next door and watching everything inside through the one-way glass, turned on the microphone, "Boss, the results of the forensic autopsy are out." Cheng Han sat beside Xu Ranran, silently watching everything that happened inside. Xiao Rongzheng asked Xie Wencong to calm down Hong Ji first inside, and then came out to take the autopsy report himself.
Appraisal opinions
The deceased died of open pneumohemothorax caused by a broken rib.
The previous part of the report recorded in detail that the deceased had undergone an abortion before his death, and that there were multiple traces of fractures in his limbs, but that he had been fixed with steel nails, and that a large number of sperm spots were found in the deceased's private parts. Xiao Rongzheng looked at the appraisal report in his hand and was about to re-enter, but was stopped by Cheng Han.
Cheng Han took the group photo of medical school graduates she took, pointed to the man standing on the other side of Li Su and said to Xiao Rongzheng, "Officer Xiao, when you get to the end, ask him who this man is." ”
Xiao Rongzheng took the photo, nodded in response, and re-entered the interrogation room.
In the interrogation room, Hongji has recovered as before, and he is still the gentle man in front of him. I saw him close his eyes, put his hands on his lower abdomen, move his two thumbs from time to time, close his lips one by one, and chant something in a low voice.
"He's alright?" Xiao Rongzheng handed the autopsy report to Xie Wencong and asked.
Xie Wencong leaned into Xiao Rongzheng's ear and whispered, "Okay, now let's start meditating and chanting." But we all put away his rosary, and he still read it like the real thing. ”
Xiao Rongzheng nodded, and didn't rush to interrupt the man opposite, just sat there and waited for him to finish.
After a while, Hongji opened his eyes, and his eyes were much clearer, as if the crazy man just now was not him. Xiao Rongzheng put the autopsy report in front of him and asked, "Did you pick up the multiple fractures on Li Su's body?" ”
Hongji nodded and did not speak. Xiao Rongzheng then asked, "When you embalmed her body, did you find that she had an abortion?" ”
The man nodded without saying a word.
Xiao Rongzheng sighed, "You are currently the biggest suspect in this case, suspected of the death of three deceased. If, as you say, you did not kill your wife, then I want you to cooperate with us and tell the truth as you know. Don't be like squeezing toothpaste, you don't have to ask a question before you can say it. ”
The man on the opposite side grabbed the autopsy report closer and closer, Xiao Rongzheng struck while the iron was hot, and then said, "Don't you want to know who your wife's murderer is?" Don't you want to watch him brought to justice and avenge Li Su? ”
Hong Ji raised his head and looked at Xiao Rongzheng's eyes, his voice was hoarse, "I said ......"
"Li Su and I are college classmates and have always been very affectionate. She is a very gentle and considerate woman and always gives me the best care. Even though I was busy with my career at that time and neglected her, she was very understanding and kept the house in order.
At that time, I thought that she loved me so much, but it wasn't until after her death that I checked her body and found out that she had been cared for by other people for a long time.
That's right, if you have someone else, why do you still need me.
On the day she went for a walk, we had already booked our tickets to New Zealand. I always thought that the natural environment there was good and there was not so much pollution, so I wanted to investigate it, and by the way, if it was suitable, I decided to emigrate there. Li Su has always been in favor of it, or she has not explicitly opposed it.
It's just that during that time, she became very anxious, and she was always suspicious, and her mental state was not very good. Until the day before leaving, she told me that she was going for a walk, and I wanted to go with her, but she said she wanted to go alone. Then, he never came back.
I couldn't wait for her to come back, so I went to look for her in the mountains where she used to walk. I didn't know what happened that day, I was always uneasy, and finally found her at the foot of the back mountain unconsciously. At that time, she fell very badly, three ribs were inserted into her lungs, and her body was fractured in many places. I shed a lot of blood, and my body was already cold. I hugged her and cried, but something ridiculous happened.
I have a reaction! I actually reacted to my dead wife. And that feeling is something I have never felt in all the years I have been in the same room with her. So, I gave in to my body, and it was on that back hill that I violated her.
Afterwards, I wanted to call the police, but I was afraid that they would snatch her away from me. What I want is to be able to look at her and kiss her every day, and just face the cold tombstone and talk about lovesickness.
So I smuggled her home, cleaned up inside and out, and tinkered. It was at that time that I found out that my beloved wife had an abortion behind my back. However, I was diagnosed with azoospermia at an early age.
I searched the house and couldn't find anything from any other man, not even the chat history on my phone. Hehe, what a smart woman, even if she betrayed me, she protected that person tightly. But even so, I can't hate her. She must love me, it must be that I only care about my work, ignore her, and don't accompany her, so she is like this. If I can be by her side every day, maybe, her spirit in heaven will be able to forgive me.
So, I wanted to have a space for the two of us where we could not be disturbed by anyone. Just three years ago, the construction of this medical building under my name began. I built the secret room in particular, used three different construction teams, completed it in different times, and secretly transported her in when it was finished.
And since then, my desire for her has become even stronger. In order not to be attracted to her, I began to look for women who resembled her, and I thought that by having sex with a living body, I could forget about her. But I love her so much, the smell of her body, and every inch of her skin, is like my stimulant, and I can't stop it. I started praying to the Buddha every day, just to calm my inner desires.
Later, I asked people from the Internet to help me steal the body. Because I want to know if I only have desires for Li Su's corpse or if I can do it all. As a result, my people were caught and stalked. Now even I am in front of you. ”
Hong Ji smiled self-deprecatingly, "Officer Xiao, are you satisfied?" ”
After Xiao Rongzheng sorted out the materials, he looked at Hong Ji, who was sitting opposite and smiling at him, and felt that this man who was in the prime of life seemed to have aged a lot in an instant. He nodded, took out the photo Cheng Han gave him and put it on the table, pointed to the person in the photo and asked, "Do you know this person?" ”
"Him?" Hong Ji frowned and thought for a while before saying, "He is our classmate, Wang Xiaoling." ”
"How's your relationship? Is there still a connection? ”
"It's just the relationship between ordinary classmates, it's not familiar, and it's not unfamiliar. Since graduating, they have gone their separate ways, and there is no connection. Hong Ji stretched out his hand and gently stroked Li Su, who was also in the photo, his eyes were full of nostalgia.
Xiao Rongzheng refilled his cup with hot water and handed it to him, then walked up to Hong Ji and reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Thank you for your honesty and cooperation, but if you make a mistake, you will be punished, so you will still be prosecuted for desecration of the corpse." ”
Hongji didn't refute, hung his hands, sat on the chair, and looked relieved.
In the office of the criminal police team, Xiao Rongzheng and the others were frantically sucking the beef noodles in their hands, and from time to time they took two pieces of finger cakes from the lunch box and soaked them in the soup. After the questioning, waiting for the colleagues from the detention center to come and take Hong Ji away, it was already three or four o'clock in the afternoon, and they had time to sit down and eat a hot mouth.
Xu Ranran recalled the crazy love that Hong Ji looked at Li Su's photo when he was interrogated just now, and sighed, "Hey, I can't imagine that this Hong Ji is still a seed of infatuation!" ”
"Hmph, no matter how nice it sounds, it can't change the nature of his pervert." Xie Wencong retorted, "You just looked through the glass, but I was so close to him, I could feel the strong desire he had every time he mentioned Li Su." He said that he himself loved Li Su too much, so he would be like this. However, do you remember the first time we went to him, when Dr. Cheng described the two dead people to him, he still didn't have the same desire. Therefore, what infatuation is just an excuse for him to let his conscience go. ”
Cheng Han has been sitting there silently eating the noodles in his bowl, sorting out the thoughts of the case. Suddenly, Cheng Xu's bloodless little face appeared in her mind, and the little boy was lying motionless on the cold platform, with a white cloth sheet covering his body.
She lifted the sheet vigorously, Cheng Xu's thin and thin body was covered with scars, and even the inner thighs were blurred with flesh and blood. In this way, Cheng Xu's face and Li Su's face were intertwined, hideous and terrifying. She seemed to smell the pungent formalin smell again, only to feel the stomach acid welling up, covered her mouth, and quickly ran from her seat to the bathroom.
"Vomit"
Cheng Han leaned over to the toilet, even though there was nothing left in his stomach to vomit, he was still tumbling over the river. After about ten minutes, she got up out of breath, walked to the sink, took a handful of cold water with her hand, patted her face, and checked in the mirror to see if she was okay, then opened the door and walked out of the bathroom.
I don't know if she just bent over for too long, and before she had taken a few steps, she felt that it was dark in front of her and staggered a few steps. She felt like she was about to fall on the cold floor, when a pair of strong arms caught her. Then, she fell into a hard, hot chest.
"Are you alright?" Xiao Rongzheng's deep voice came from overhead.
Cheng Han struggled out of his arms, barely stood up straight, and replied with a pale face, "It's nothing, it's just a little stuffy." ”
"Let's go, I'll take you to breathe." Xiao Rongzheng held her arm, for fear that she would fall again.
On the rooftop, Cheng Han sat on the steps, gulping in on fresh air. Xiao Rongzheng habitually took out a cigarette and wanted to light it, but when he saw Cheng Han beside him, he thought about taking the cigarette back.
At this time, he heard Cheng Han ask him, "Can you give me one?" ”
He looked at the girl in disbelief, but saw that the other party was calm, and his eyes were blazing waiting for his reply. He handed her the cigarette and took out a lighter to light it for her.
The girl took the cigarette to her mouth with her slender white fingers, took a deep breath, then raised her head and spit out a small smoke ring. When she smoked, there was no expression on her face, as if the person had no emotion, just making movements mechanically. Xiao Rongzheng sat next to Cheng Han and watched her finish a cigarette silently before speaking.
"Do you smoke a lot?"
Cheng Han put out the cigarette on the ground and shook his head, "Quit it." ”
She looked around on the rooftop with a cigarette butt, trying to find a trash can. Xiao Rongzheng took out a tissue from his pocket and stretched it out in front of Cheng Han, "Put it here." ”
Cheng Han put the cigarette butt on it, and saw Xiao Rongzheng skillfully wrap it tightly with a paper towel and put it in his pocket casually. Sensing that Cheng Han was looking at him, he explained, "I'll put it away first, and then throw it away when I see the trash can later." ”
Cheng Han nodded, raised his head to look at the birds in the sky, and did not speak again.
"That, you, do you think there's something wrong with that Wang Xiaoling?" Thinking of the appearance of Cheng Han when he took the photo to himself just now, Xiao Rongzheng was a little curious.
"Yes, the distance between him and Li Su is closer than the distance between Li Su and Hong Ji, although it is not very obvious, but you can still see it if you look closely. They are just a random group photo between classmates, so the intimate distance between these two people has to make people reverie. ”
"So, is it possible that Wang Xiaoling is the person Li Su has an extramarital affair with, the father of the child?"
"It's very likely! Moreover, even if Hong Ji is so rich now, when he was still a student, the clothes on his body were just ordinary brands. But Wang Xiaoling was wearing a custom suit by Brioni. You know, this brand is one of the world's top custom suit brands, and many celebrity politicians at home and abroad like his customization. A college student who has not yet graduated can wear this brand, which shows that his family background is not ordinary. But what kind of person this is will require further investigation to find out. Xiao Rongzheng nodded in agreement.
At this time, Cheng Han stood up, patted the back of his buttocks, turned his head to look at Xiao Rongzheng, and said with a smile, "Go back?" ”
"Let's go." Xiao Rongzheng also stood up. At this time, the distance between the two of them is very close, less than thirty centimeters, is it the legendary 'intimate distance'? Xiao Rongzheng thought wildly, he could clearly smell the girl's body. It was the original citrus flavor mixed with the tobacco flavor of today. Compared with the original fresh and sweet, it is a little more heavy at the moment. It seems that something is quietly changing.
