Chapter 27: A Turning Point

Seeing the police, Zhang Qidong's thin body suddenly trembled, and the expression on his face changed from happiness and satisfaction to confusion, "You, looking for me?" ”

"Can you say a few words?" Gao Ge asked. He nodded to the old lady lying on the hospital bed and the old man sitting in front of the hospital bed.

Gao Ge is wearing a police uniform today.

Seeing the police, the two elderly people became nervous and anxious, and in their subconscious, the police would only look for people who did bad things. The police are looking for their son now, so he must have done something bad.

"Son, is it money for treatment...... You must not arrest my son, sick, I am not cured, let's go home. The old lady sat up from the bed and was about to get out of bed. She has always been worried about her son's sudden existence of so much money for her treatment, and her heart is always hanging. She thought: If her son hadn't done something bad, where would he get all this money? Now, the police have come to me, and sure enough.

"Mom, you lie down, it's okay."

"Auntie, we just learned something about your son, don't worry, take care of your illness. Let's say a few words and go. Gao Ge himself is also a very filial person, and he can't bear to let the old lady worry about his son's affairs. Filial piety is not bad, he has a feeling that Zhang Qidong is not a murderer.

At the end of the hospital corridor.

Gao Ge handed out a cigarette, but Zhang Qidong did not answer. He was still a little nervous, and his thin body was lying on his back, which made people feel pity.

Gao Ge lit a cigarette, "On the day of the crime, can you be sure of the time you left the government building?" ”

"Sure, it's around four twenty minutes, and it won't be more than half past four."

"By feeling? Because the departure time was not registered. ”

"When I entered, the clock on the wall of the janitor's room was exactly four o'clock. At the speed at which I moved the water, it would take twenty minutes. ”

"Did you leave after moving the water? Didn't go anywhere else? For example, the backyard. Gao Ge looked at Zhang Qidong.

"Nope. I've been delivering water for almost a year, and every time I move it and leave, they don't need me to move it somewhere else. Zhang Qidong answered truthfully, he didn't lie. After the water is delivered to the fourth floor, it is stored and then distributed by security guards to the offices where it is needed. The doorman Li Dashan can testify about this.

Gao Ge asked Zhang Qidong again about what he did and where he went after leaving the government compound, and his answer was not different from the results of the initial questioning.

There was nothing more to ask, and Gao Ge was ready to go.

"How many years has your mother been sick?" Xu You asked suddenly, he basically didn't speak, Gao Ge thought that he had a dull personality and didn't like to talk.

"It's been five or six years...... Zhang Qidong looked at Xu Yu and then at Gao Ge, meaning that this also has to be answered? There are too many things in this world that he doesn't understand, he has no knowledge and culture, no status, no money and power, and he struggles at the bottom of society.

"It's been untreated?" Xu You asked again.

"I want to be cured, but I don't have any money, so I just buy some medicine at the town health center." Zhang Qidong seemed to understand that the police were concerned about his mother's physical condition, and his thoughts were very simple.

"So now, you're hospitalized here because you have money?"

"Yes, once you have money, you must come to treat it immediately, the doctor said that it is getting more and more serious, and if you don't treat it, you can only ......" Zhang Qidong didn't dare to think about it, it was a bad result.

"So, can you tell us a little bit about how you made your money?"

Only then did Zhang Qidong realize that the eyes of the policeman who was questioning were emitting poisonous light outward, and the poisonous light was all over him.

How did the money, the money for the mother's hospitalization come from? This damn guy was asking this, why didn't he just ask, what a scary guy. Zhang Qidong was immediately frightened.

"If you borrow it, ask a friend to borrow it." Zhang Qidong replied.

This reason seems to be untenable, and in the past five or six years, I didn't go out to borrow or couldn't borrow it? Of course, this can also be explained by the fact that Zhang Qidong is now working in the county, his social circle has expanded, and he has more rich friends, or he suddenly meets a rich man who is willing to lend him money.

"Can you tell us the name of the person who lent you the money, or do you have any evidence to prove that the money was borrowed from that person?"

Zhang Qidong was silent.

"You'd better answer the police's questioning, we are investigating the murder, and you have an obligation to cooperate. Otherwise, we will come often, and in that case, it will not be good for your mother's treatment. Gao Ge explained to Zhang Qidong that he should cooperate with the public security organs in investigating the case as a citizen, and also conveyed to him the possible bad consequences of not cooperating with the police. His mother certainly did not want to see the police interrogate her son again.

"He's one of our customers, a buyer at Nova Hotel, and his name is Xiangqian." Zhang Qidong put his hand in his trouser pocket, took out a crumpled piece of paper, and handed it to Xu You, "This is an IOU." ”

It reads: borrow 1,000 yuan to advance for the mother's treatment. The borrower is Zhang Qidong, with a thumbprint and the date is 7 April 1996.

"Okay, thank you for your cooperation. Take good care of your mother and wish her a speedy recovery. Gao Ge expressed his gratitude to Zhang Qidong. Xu You left after reading the IOU, he was not good at and did not like to say these polite words that he thought were superfluous.

"Xiao Xu ......" Gao Ge caught up with Xu You, "go so fast." ”

"I'm sorry, Team Gao, I forgot to wait for you." Yes, Xu You was thinking about Zhang Qidong's loan and did not wait for him to go together. Even if he doesn't think about problems, he is not used to waiting for people.

"Thinking about Zhang Qidong's loan?" Gao Ge asked.

"Yes, Team Gao. I still think that some things are difficult to understand. ”

"Let's go, go and move forward." Gao Ge took the lead, "Tell me what you think." ”

"First, the time of borrowing is April 7, Zhang Qidong is a filial person, we can all see it, then he should go home in time to pick up his mother to the hospital for treatment after getting the money, today is April 15. From the time I borrowed the money to the time I was hospitalized, there was a week between it. Second, since Zhang Qidong and Xiangqian are friends, friends who can borrow a thousand yuan have absolutely unusual feelings, so is it really necessary to make an IOU? Since the IOU has been issued, this is an important voucher and should be kept well, but for such a long time, Zhang Qidong has been putting the IOU in his trouser pocket? Or did he deliberately put it on his body and wait for the police to investigate. ”

Before, Gao Ge felt that Zhang Qidong could not be a murderer, and it could be said that he didn't want him to be a murderer. But now Xu You's suspicions made him dispel this idea. Gao Ge stopped, smiled, and looked at Xu You, "Xiao Xu, you can follow me in the future." "He started to like Xu You.

At first, Gao Ge, including the other police officers in the brigade, didn't like Xu You very much, this person didn't like to talk, didn't get close to people, and didn't even respect the leader. Later, he repelled the siege of five addicts with his bare hands and rescued his comrades; Now, in the analysis of cases, he has shown an extraordinary ability. Then his lack of speech and other deficiencies become unimportant. Gao Ge felt that he saw the shadow of Wu Ping's youth in Xu You.

He decided to take him with him, carefully polished and carved. If Wu Ping is reinstated in the future, he will also recommend him to Wu Ping.

Xiang Qianqian admitted to borrowing money from Zhang Qidong, and he had an IOU of the same kind.

"He didn't lie to us." Gao Ge said that he was naturally Zhang Qidong, and after leaving the New Star Hotel, Gao Ge decided to return to the brigade.

"Well, at present, Zhang Qidong's money for his mother's hospitalization was indeed borrowed from Xiangqian. But......" Xu You applied to Gao Ge, "Gao Team, you go back to the team first, I want to take a leave, is it okay?" ”

"Where to go, what to do?"

"A little bit of a personal matter."
