Chapter 44: Secret Arrest
(October 2) countdown to the 89th day
At 8 o'clock that night, the arrest of Brother Niu was secretly launched.
After Xiao Feng's guidance, the monkey successfully found out that Brother Niu might live in the Lotus Garden in City C. Considering the ferocity of Brother Jiu and the possible background, all police officers involved in the operation were asked to be fully armed.
At the beginning of the operation, dozens of police officers surrounded the lotus garden. Heavily armed snipers are also hidden near the gates of the four quarters in the south, east, and north, as a last resort, if the suspect resists, they can shoot on the spot.
Xiao Feng led a three-person team to dive up to the 18th floor and came to the door of a three-bedroom room. As Cheng Zhiyuan smashed the door open, Xiao Feng grabbed the pistol, quickly rushed into the room, and went straight to the study. Cheng Zhiyuan and Liu Qing immediately followed.
Xiao Feng rushed to the door of the study and was about to bang on the door, but the door opened by itself.
Xiao Feng rushed into the study and pointed his gun at a middle-aged man sitting in a chair. Cheng Zhiyuan and Liu Qing, who followed closely, blocked the door of the study one after the other.
"What do you mean by Officer Xiao's sudden arrival?" The middle-aged man turned the swivel chair facing the door of the north, and it was Brother Niu.
"Should I call you Brother Niu, or should I call you Officer Xiang?" Xiao Feng said.
"You even know the nickname of Brother Niu? Oh, yes, the monkey confessed, but what do you mean by pointing a gun at your comrade? Brother Niu was quite calm and pointed to Xiao Feng's pistol, "Let's put the pistol away and talk." ”
"You don't need me to answer what you mean, do you?" Xiao Feng was unmoved, and still pointed the gun at Brother Niu's head.
"Okay then...... I wonder, by what did you start to doubt me? ”
"Glasses! One night at a meeting, I stumbled upon you wearing contact lenses, I guess you're a highly myopic person, right? ”
"A policeman wearing contact lenses is also worthy of your suspicion, is Officer Xiao too suspicious?"
"Of course, it's okay for a police officer to wear contact lenses, but I found that you have deep indentations on both sides of your ears, and this indentation is obviously pressed out by the temples of your glasses, how can a person who never wears glasses in a police station have indentations?"
"That's not a reason to be suspicious, is it?"
"Of course it's doubtful. What is the purpose of this person who deliberately pretends to be without glasses? Could it be to cover up the fact that he was going to wear glasses? Because Yao Xiaofei committed suicide by jumping off the building, she left a very important message to the police, the words "he killed glasses" clearly pointed to the murderer as a man with glasses. ”
"There are a lot of people who wear glasses in the world, even if I am a person who wears glasses, what can I say?"
"I don't know why you deliberately didn't wear glasses, but it's at least a suspicion. With this suspicion in mind, I put you to the test. Do you remember that scene in the dark room? A man named Niu Ge fled the scene minutes before the police arrived after killing people in a hurry. The ashtray at the scene caught my attention, and the cigarette butts in the ashtray were arranged too neatly, with the cigarette butts facing one end uniformly and one end of the cigarette ash facing the other, which is typical of patients with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. ”
"That's wonderful, please continue your reasoning." The middle-aged man pushed his glasses with a sneering expression.
"By observing the fingers of your left hand, you can find that you are a smoking addict, but you are too cautious, for fear of exposing your habit of throwing cigarette butts, and few people in the police station see you smoking, which should be a kind of torture for you who are very addicted to smoking. One day at noon, after we had dinner together, I beckoned everyone to smoke, and the cigarette was exactly the kind of Son of Heaven cigarette that you are used to, the kind of Son of Heaven that appeared in the dark room, and you pretended to excuse that you rarely smoked it. I went with other colleagues on the pretext, and I specifically told the restaurant waiter to keep the ashtray in its current condition, and I will go back in the afternoon, and guess what I saw? I saw two cigarette butts neatly arranged in the ashtray, even the orientation was strikingly the one that appeared in the darkroom. ”
"Even if I'm Brother Niu, I wear glasses and have obsessive-compulsive disorder, it doesn't make up a reason for you to point a gun at me. Officer Xiao, you better sit down, your reasoning is wonderful, but you don't have any evidence. The middle-aged man—now you can talk about Brother Niu or Xiang Officer—pointed to the chair opposite him and motioned for Xiao Feng to sit down.
"One coincidence, of course, is nothing, but many coincidences have to make people suspicious, although it hurts me to make such doubts." Xiao Feng was not polite, sitting on the chair, the gun still pointed at Brother Niu.
"Put away your heartache. At the end of the day, you still can't come up with any direct evidence that I'm connected to any of the cases. ”
"Officer Xiang, oh no, Brother Niu, you are so forgetful. Have you forgotten the pair of glasses that were worn on the nose of the deceased in the darkroom? The deceased is your subordinate, the one you sent to Q City to kidnap Yao Xiaoyi; He came back to report important information to you, and it just so happened that we were able to locate your location in the dark room through the monkey; You know the location was exposed, killed him, disguised the deceased as yourself, fled the scene minutes before we arrived; In order to disguise the deceased more likely, you deliberately took off your glasses and put them on the deceased, you were too cautious, you really shouldn't have done more, but left a huge loophole; The deceased's head was obviously much larger than yours, and the glasses were obviously not suitable for him, but were put on by you, and I believe that it would be fitting to put these gold-rimmed glasses on your ears now; In addition, I examined the deceased's left hand, right hand and teeth, and found that the deceased did not smoke at all, so the murderer must be Brother Niu; Later, I also figured out one thing, that is, how did you realize that the police were listening to your call with the monkey, because the monkey inadvertently said the three words Yao Xiaofei, this is my negligence, how can the monkey know about Yao Xiaofei, it is through these three words that you deduced that the monkey has been captured by us, I guessed right? ”
"Did you guess it right? You said that I instructed to kidnap Yao Xiaoyi and kill his subordinates, what about the motive, there must be a motive for killing, right? ”
"The motive is simple, to cover up a certain truth that Yao Xiaofei may know. Tracking Yao Xiaofei, after Yao Xiaofei disappeared, he sent someone to Q City to kidnap Yao Xiaoyi, and coerced Yao Xiaofei to commit suicide by jumping off the building through Yao Xiaoyi, worried that Yao Xiaofei would hide the clues in the mobile phone, after Yao Xiaofei jumped off the building, he found the cleaner who picked up the mobile phone, killed the cleaner and snatched the mobile phone, Yao Xiaoyi escaped from the cave and appeared at the train station and then sent someone to follow him, after Yao Xiaoyi returned to C City and lost contact, he followed Gao Fei, who was implicated in Yao Xiaoyi, worried that he would be exposed at the door of the community and detonate the mobile phone** Kill him, designed to kidnap Gao Fei's friends to blackmail Gao Fei in exchange for Yao Xiaoyi's clues, exposing and detonating four remote control ** to escape...... All of these have only one motive, to cut off the clues that Yao Xiaofei knows; I just couldn't imagine that one person, the people, the police, and the inspector, could be so careless about human life; What are you hiding at the expense of taking so many lives? ”
