Chapter 50: Interrogation of Cai Lao
The door to the interrogation room was gently pushed open, and Lin Di crept in.
She carried a thermos in one hand and several cups stacked on top of each other in the other.
This morning, Lin Di came to the team early, her heart was worried about the case and her teammates, and she wanted to do some logistics for her teammates first.
Lin Di saw at a glance that there were two guards standing outside the No. 1 interrogation room.
I thought I should be the first to come, but I didn't expect my teammates to be the first to come.
She knew in her heart that it must be Team Zhao who had made some gains yesterday, and this time they must be interrogating important suspects.
She has worked with Team Zhao for several years and knows his temper and way of doing things, Team Zhao has always been characterized by continuous combat.
Lin Di poured three glasses of water and placed them lightly in front of Ma Jianping, Ling Hu Yunfei and Zhao Zimeng.
Zhao Zimeng smiled and nodded at Lin Di, and then motioned for her to sit next to Ma Jianping.
Lin Di's water was very timely, and the three of them were really a little thirsty.
Cai Yaohui looked at the hot air rising from the cup on the table, and unconsciously licked his lips a few times.
His lips were dry and tight, and he hadn't taken a sip of water since he had been in the detention cell last night.
Zhao Zimeng observed this subtle movement and nodded at Lin Di.
Lin Di stood up in understanding, poured a glass of water and put it on the railing in front of Cai Yaohui.
"Thank you." Cai Yaohui held the cup in his hand as if he had found a treasure, he lowered his head and took a sip of water, the water was freshly boiled and very hot.
"Cai Yaohui, there are rumors that there is an ancient tomb at the foot of Ion Mountain in Huaigu Village, do you know?" Zhao Zimeng continued to ask.
"I don't know."
"Don't you often go to Huaigu Village to visit your parents? They never told you that? ”
"I often go to Huaigu Village to visit them, but every time I go, I just send some daily necessities to the second elder, and then leave after a while. I couldn't talk to my parents, even if I did, I talked to my mother, and my father didn't pay much attention to me. ”
On this point, Cai Yaohui did not lie.
"Your father ignores you? Why is that? ”
"I used to work at the university as a teacher. After graduating from college that year, I stayed in school, because my father sold face and found a relationship. It stands to reason that I should be very content, and with my father's reputation, it should not be a problem for me to go from teaching assistant to associate professor and then from associate professor to full-time professor, which is what my parents wanted. ”
Zhao Zimeng felt that Cai Yaohui's words were not to the point, so he quickly pulled the content of the interrogation back to the topic of the case: "What major did you study in college?" ”
"I studied archaeology first. Later, I went to graduate school, majoring in cultural relics identification. Otherwise, I would not have resigned and gone to sea and embarked on this path. My father was disappointed in me and refused to forgive me. But he is my father after all, and no matter what he does to me, I have to visit them. ”
"Why did your parents move from their house on Ninghai Road to Huaigu Village?"
"It's because I quit my job and went to the sea, and when I resigned, I didn't say hello to them. They were angry, and my mother forgave me after a while, but my father never ...... He may have forgiven me in his heart. Cai Yaohui sighed in dismay.
"We found six caverns behind house 117 where your parents lived, behind your father's bedroom and between the backyard wall." Zhao Zimeng got straight to the point and wanted to see Cai Yaohui's reaction.
"Six cavs?" Cai Yaohui's eyes widened, with an expression of disbelief.
"Yes, six cavings. It was through these six caverns that the tomb robbers determined the location of the entrance to the tomb, and finally decided to place the entrance in your father's room. You majored in archaeology in college, so you're pretty good at it, right? Zhao Zimeng looked directly into Cai Yaohui's eyes and asked.
Cai Yaohui couldn't laugh or cry: "Comrade policeman, the knowledge in books is not the same thing as real archaeological work. No archaeologist can be called an archaeologist after studying archaeology for a few years. ”
Cai Yaohui's thinking is meticulous, and his speech is not leaky. The implication of his words is that studying archaeology and tomb robbing are two different things, and archaeology is not the same as tomb robbing.
"Let me ask you, did your father stay in the hospital once in late August or early September this year?"
"Yes, the old man is not in good health."
"Did you go to 117 alone while your father was in the hospital?"
"I've been, I've not only been, I've been there twice." Cai Yaohui did not shy away from this question.
"Been there twice?"
"Yes. My relationship with my father has always been stiff, and I wanted to take this opportunity to show good behavior and ease our relationship, he is my father after all. ”
"If you want to show that you should go to the hospital, what are you going to do on 117?"
"Help them get some groceries."
"Your sister works in the hospital, and her home is near the hospital, is it necessary to go to No. 117 to get daily necessities? Don't have a shop near the hospital? ”
"I'm helping the second elder get some washing and changing clothes, and my mother has to accompany the bed. This is not the main thing, I went to Huaigu Village, mainly to get my mother's pickled sweet and sour garlic and dried radish, my father was sick, there was no taste in his mouth, and he usually liked to eat my mother's pickled side dishes. ”
"What else did you do back to 117?"
"Comrade policeman, didn't I just say it, just take some change of clothes and side dishes, I didn't do anything else!"
"Really? Someone sees you in the back of your father's house, what are you doing? ”
"Huh? I ran to the back of the main house? Why should I run to the back of the main house? ”
"How do you explain this?"
"I can't remember anything about it."
"Cai Yaohui, I want you to answer my question seriously, I don't think it's a coincidence."
"Who saw me?"
"Can't you remember anything about it?"
"I don't remember it at all, every time I get to No. 117, I just sit in the house for a while and then leave, and I never go around the yard."
"Six caverns were dug during the time your father was in the hospital. Your parents are not at home, and you are the only one who has been on the 117th. ”
"I did go to the 117th when my father was in the hospital. Comrade policeman, can you give me a hint, I really can't remember. Cai Yaohui's eyes kept rolling, looking like he was digging into his memory.
"You had a hammer in your hand, what were you doing behind the house with a hammer?"
Cai Yaohui pondered for a moment, and suddenly said, "Oh! I remembered, you carry a hammer, and I remember. I've been to the back of the house. It was the second day of my father's hospitalization, and my mother asked me to go to No. 117 to get him some change of clothes, along with a little sweet and sour garlic and dried radish. ”
Cai Yaohui took a few sips of water with a cup, and then continued: "When I went to the closet of my father's bedroom to get clothes, I saw that a piece of glass was broken in the back window of the bedroom, so I went to the hardware store on the street and drew a piece of glass and put it on. ”
Zhao Zimeng and Ling Hu Yunfei looked at each other, this statement is very reasonable, and from Cai Yaohui's facial expressions, there is no pretentious cover-up.
"I remembered, that day, I saw Uncle Cao next door, and we said a few words. Uncle Cao came to my house to close the windows, and there were some freshly framed paintings hanging in my father's studio, and those paintings were afraid of moisture, so my father asked Uncle Cao to come to my house every day to open and close the windows. This situation is consistent with what Cao Runan said.
"But we've heard that the tenant of 117 just installed a piece of glass in the back window of your father's bedroom two days ago, and how do you explain this?"
"Rao glance has just installed glass? This- I can't explain it, but when I saw that there was a piece of glass missing from the window, I put one on. Although my father has opinions about me, I can't hold a grudge against Lao Tzu as a son. My eldest brother is out of town, and I am the only laborer at home. Anything I can do, I will try to do. ”
"In this way, you are still a filial son."
"Whether it's filial piety or not, I don't dare to say. You can ask my parents and my sister Yaohua. Ask yourself, except for the matter of resigning and going to the sea, I, Cai Yaohui, have indeed never done anything against my parents. Cai Yaohui's tone was swearing.
"Which hardware store did you draw the glass from?"
"Li San hardware store, next to the gate of Huaigu Village Primary School, a piece of glass is three yuan, I gave the boss ten yuan, and I didn't ask the boss to find money."
"The boss is still chasing me, the boss is a middle-aged man, he has a bad eye. If you don't believe him, ask him, and I hope he remembers. You can also ask my mother. ”
Zhao Zimeng took out a notebook and pen from his pocket and wrote something in the notebook. This is a habit he has developed over the years, and at work, as long as he feels that it is more important, he will write it in his notebook.
Zhao Zimeng nodded at Ma Jianping.
Ma Jianping stood up, moved the carton behind him to Cai Yaohui, and opened the lid of the carton.
"Cai Yaohui, what is this?" Zhao Zimeng pointed to the contents of the box.
"It's the baby I'm going to shoot."
"What period is this?"
"Warring States period."
"How so?"
"This is a sacrificial wine vessel, with a seal inscription on it, and the content of the seal inscription narrates a historical event in the reign of Duke Huan of Qi."
"I know you're an expert, and you're at a very high level. Tell me, what else do you know about this object? ”
"It's called Nine Sheep Bottle. In the Xi'an Museum, there is a similar shape, but the shape is a little larger than this. There is also a seal inscription on it, and the content of the seal inscription describes a sacrificial activity during the Qin Mugong period. During the Warring States period, each vassal state had a custom to record major events on bronze tripods and bronze bottles. "Cai Yaohui is like a treasure, and it seems that he knows the background of these cultural relics well.
"Where did this Nine Sheep Bottle come from?"
"It was taken from a man's hand."
"How many did you collect?"
"Comrade policeman, on this one, I'm telling the truth!"
"When was this Nine Sheep Bottle harvested?"
"I received it nine days ago - September 29th."
