Chapter 60: The Iron Tongue
"Ning Shangzhi, talk about Teng Jianye and Shui Ruzhang." Xiang Daimo said.
"Teng Jianye is around fifty years old, about the same age as me. Shui Ruzhang is a little younger than me. β
"You just said that they are in Jingxi, where do these two live?"
"Teng Jianye lives in the Louis King Hotel, and Shui Ruzhang lives in the Gubei Grand Hotel."
"These two don't live together?"
"Yes, they all act separately and do not interfere with each other."
"Are they staying at a hotel with their real names?"
"They'll probably be staying at the hotel with their real names."
"What are the characteristics or preferences of these two people?"
Teng Jianye, nicknamed Snow Owl, has a copper coin burn scar on his right cheek, and the whites of his eyes are yellow. He is a good drinker and likes to wear black Tang and silk clothes. β
"Where's the water?"
"Shui Ruzhang's nickname is Xiao Zhuge . He has small eyes, a crooked neck, and a collapsed nose. This man is very shrewd, and it is possible that he will check into the hotel under a false name. He likes to wear a white suit. β
"Did these two people come to Jingxi alone?"
"No, they all have horses under them, and they can't do this kind of thing alone. There are two people by Shui Ruzhang's side, and there is some kung fu. Teng Jianye usually brings three people. β
After Ning Shangzhi was taken away, Zhao Zimeng decided to transfer Lu Qian from Xicheng District to join Lin Di to monitor Teng Jianye at the Louis King Hotel, and sent Xiang Daimo to the Gubeidu Hotel to monitor Shui Ruzhang.
After Lin Di and Xiang Daimo left, Zhao Zimeng and Section Chief Wen began the second interrogation of Cai Yaohui.
Cai Yaohui was brought into the interrogation room again.
He was not in a good mental state, and his eyes were red and bloodshot.
"Cai Yaohui, do you have anything else to say to us?" Zhao Zimeng said.
"No, what should be said, I said it all." Cai Yaohui said weakly.
"Look at these two portraits again."
Zhao Zimeng handed the two simulated portraits to Cai Yaohui's hand.
Cai Yaohui took the two portraits: "Haven't I already seen these two portraits?" β
"Take a closer look at the second portrait." Zhao Zimeng refers to the portrait of No. 2.
"Don't look at it, knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, I'm not lying, comrade police." Cai Yaohui's tone was very determined.
"A month ago, this person appeared in your Tibetan Mountain. Think about it again. Zhao Zimeng deliberately prompted.
"Comrade policeman, there are a lot of people who come to my shop to buy things, and it is impossible for me to remember everyone." Cai Yaohui was a little aggrieved.
"We just came from the Hukoumen Antique Market, and the guys in your shop all said they had seen this person."
"Comrade policeman, you know, I am not usually in the store, but I go to the shop at about five o'clock in the evening to reconcile the accounts, and after the reconciliation, I will leave. Just because I've seen this person doesn't mean I've seen this person. β
"Cai Yaohui, I can remind you that when a few of your buddies saw this person that day, you happened to be in the store to reconcile."
"I-I really don't have any impression, how could I notice this person when I was reconciling the accounts."
"Oh, is it? Two guys said that you made eye contact with this person several times during reconciliation. β
"Comrade policeman, you have wronged me a little. Isn't it normal for someone to wander around my store, and I, as the boss, take a few more glances at the customers who enter the store! How can a business person turn a blind eye to the customers who walk into their store? β
"It's not that I boast about Haikou, my shop is lucky to be on the number in the antique market, which is full of people every day, as long as it is a customer who enters the store, I say I know everything, and you don't believe it!"
Cai Yaohui's face did not change, and his answers were like a stream.
Zhao Zimeng found that although it was not long since the last interrogation, Cai Yaohui's psychological state was not the same as the last time.
The previous time, he looked like he was in pain with remorse, and choked up several times, but now, although his face is bloodless, his expression is much more relaxed, and he can speak well and speak skillfully.
"Cai Yaohui, right now, the situation is very unfavorable for you. All the information points to you: the "10.5" grave robbery murder occurred at number 117, where your parents lived, and the entrance to the robbery cave was in your father's bedroom. And you have in your hand the nine sheep bottles in the stolen cultural relics of the late Ming Dynasty tomb in Ion Mountain. β
"Coincidentally, the deceased No. 2 in this tomb robbery murder case also appeared in your Tibetan Mountain Zhai."
"The cavern behind your father's house, your inopportune appearance at Number 117, and the unexplained glass installation."
Faced with Zhao Zimeng's series of questions, Cai Yaohui was silent.
"You want to send it away in a few words? Isn't your idea a little too naΓ―ve? Zhao Zimeng said.
"Comrade policeman, I can't deny the facts you said, but what I said is also the truth, about the glass matter, have you ever looked for the boss in Li San Hardware Store?"
"Li San confirmed that you did scratch a piece of glass in his hardware store. But that doesn't rule you out of suspicion. β
"Comrade policeman, you finally said something that convinced me."
"Cai Yaohui, what do you mean by that?"
"You use the word suspicion to thank you for not directly treating me Cai Yaohui as a criminal. Saying that I had something to do with that tomb robber and murder, I hope you can come up with strong evidence. I have confessed to the sin of reselling cultural relics. β
"Last night, your car was originally going in the direction of the eastern suburbs, but after leaving the Eight Gates, why did you suddenly go back?" Zhao Zimeng wanted to confirm Ning Shangzhi's confession.
"Ning Shangzhi has always been very cautious, the place of the transaction, the first set is Lengyue Lake, when our car drove out of the eight gates, he suddenly called, to change the location of the transaction to the reeds near the Hongqi Battlefield, and the time was also postponed by an hour."
"He did the same thing when he used to trade, and I'm used to it. Actually, I hope so, too. β
"Cai Yaohui, apart from Ning Shangzhi receiving things in your hands, who else is receiving things in your hands?"
"Didn't I say it earlier, I only trade with Boss Ning."
"You're not telling us the truth!"
"I'm not lying half-hearted." Cai Yaohui is right.
"You said that Ning Shangzhi is just a collector, you shouldn't forget this!"
"That's what I said."
"It's a pity that Ning Shangzhi let you down."
"Comrade policeman, I don't understand your words."
"Ning Shangzhi has admitted that he smuggled cultural relics."
"I only know that he is a collector of relics, and if he doesn't tell me, how can I know?"
"Do you have a villa by Lake Fei?"
"Well, yes, I have a house there, comrade policeman, what do you want to say?"
"If it's just Ning Shangzhi's line, you can make so much money in just a few years, and you can also buy a business in a high-end community? You must know that Feihu Lake is a gathering place for the city's wealthy. β
"I just wanted to make some more money, and I did. The key is that I also collect something from others, and now, the cultural relics market is so hot, there are many people who eat this bowl of rice, and I have limited things to receive. β
"You have a villa on Ninghai Road, your parents used to live there, and you rented a house in Shigu Lane for the sake of Jiuyangju. Shoot and change places, this is the usual trick of you people, don't tell me you only have one hiding place in Stone Drum Lane. β
"Comrade policeman, this is your imagination - there is no equivalence between imagination and reality." Cai Yaohui shook his lips and puffed his tongue, so he was not calm.
"You once sold a Han Dynasty jade cup to Ning Shangzhi, didn't you?" Zhao Zimeng saw that Cai Yaohui refused to give in, so he changed the topic.
ββ¦β¦ Right. Cai Yaohui was stunned for a moment and said.
"Who else have you sold a Han Dynasty jade cup to?"
"No! I've only sold one to Ning Shangzhi. Cai Yaohui categorically denied this statement.
"Kening Shangzhi saw an artifact in another collector's house that was the same as the jade cup you gave him."
"What does that mean?"
"We judge that these two Han Dynasty jade cups should be of the same origin." The section chief Wen, who had been silent on the side, said.
Cai Yaohui looked at the person beside Zhao Zimeng suspiciously.
"This is an expert from the Cultural Relics Bureau." Zhao Zimeng said, "Ning Shangzhi also said this. β
"This is just Ning Shangzhi's subjective speculation! I'm afraid even he can't be sure. Cai Yaohui did not want to agree.
"Really? It seems that you still refuse to admit it. β
"Comrade policeman, according to what you say, the two Han Dynasty jade cups should be cultural relics of the same period, and it is not surprising that there will be many people collecting cultural relics from the same period."
In the same way, there will be more than one person collecting the same tomb. But that doesn't mean that these two things are my own. β
"If both jade cups are funerary objects in the same burial chamber, it can only be a coincidence."
Cai Yaohui's words sound logical, reasonable, and flawless.
"Teng Jianye, do you know each other?" Zhao Zimeng's eyes looked directly at Cai Yaohui's face.
Suddenly hearing this name, Cai Yaohui raised his head and looked at Zhao Zimeng blankly, but his action of gritting his teeth could not escape Zhao Zimeng's eyes.
He swallowed in his throat as well, his fingers clasped tightly together.
There was a terrible sudden silence in the interrogation room.
Zhao Zimeng observed quietly, he squinted his eyes and looked at Cai Yaohui coldly.
In the drawer of Zhao Zimeng's desk, there are many books on psychology - especially criminal psychology.
Since he started working in criminal investigation, he has used his spare time to read some books on criminal investigation, especially on criminal psychology, and he has gained a lot by combining the knowledge from books with criminal investigation practice.
With the knowledge he learned from books and the experience he had accumulated in criminal investigation practice, Zhao Zimeng was able to grasp the initiative relatively quickly in interrogation work.
He is good at observing the subtle changes in the opponent's emotions and physiological subtle reactions, and peeks into the opponent's inner activities.
"Cai Yaohui, why don't you speak, just now, aren't you quite able to speak?" Zhao Zimeng said.
