Chapter 7 Money Buys Time
The consequence of receiving the exciting news in the middle of the night is that he can't sleep, Xu Xincha didn't fall asleep until nearly five o'clock in the morning, almost didn't miss the alarm clock at work, and walked into the Shiyan Institute with empty steps. I punched in and went back to my office to deal with the paperwork first.
Fu Chuanchuan asked him for leave last night, and Xu Xincha directly approved it, asking her to take good care of her body first, and she didn't need to worry about the rest. Who knew that Xu Xincha only knew this morning that the staff of the logistics department had received the information that Fu Chuanchuan had assigned tasks and explained the situation, and he was dumbfounded, and a strong admiration for Fu Chuanchuan rose in his heart.
But at the same time, he couldn't find someone from the logistics department to follow him to the city bureau to record the case.
Everyone has their own job to do, has their own business at hand, looking for new people, inexperienced. Xu Xincha thought about it, and the figure of Lu Jijiang appeared in his mind. He looked around, but didn't find Lu Jijiang, and finally came to the reception room, only to find that this person was quietly staying inside and reading.
After the case was closed, the city bureau sorted out the file and passed it to the Institute of Time Studies. Xu Xincha saw Jiang Yuan's statement during the review, saying that the 20,000 yuan in his account was the medical expenses he had paid to Chen Sheng's mother before, and Chen Sheng returned it to him later. And Chen Sheng's rhetoric is the same as Jiang Yuan's. As for the question about the time thief, Jiang Yuan replied that he didn't know anything, and Chen Sheng said that he didn't know who he heard about it from, and then met Zhong Fushou by mistake.
Zhong Fu confessed, and his rhetoric was basically the same as Chen Sheng's.
Xu Xincha frowned, read this paragraph several times, and always felt that something was not quite right.
But the case has been closed, and both Zhong Fushou and Chen Sheng have been duly punished.
Seeing Xu Xincha coming in, Lu Jijiang raised his head and stood up: "Xu Suo? β
Lu Jijiang didn't shout a few words "Xu Suo", Xu Xincha was caught off guard, and he felt a tingle in his heart, and hurriedly said: "That's the case, the city bureau said that it had found a counterpart." I think it should be the real murderer, so I want to bring someone over to make a record. β
"I'll go with you."
Before Xu Xincha's expression of wanting to speak appeared, Lu Jijiang added indifferently: "I have read some records of the logistics department, and I probably understand what to do." β
"It's so reassuring to find Lu and General." Xu Xincha sat in the co-pilot, supported his head with one hand, glanced at Lu Jijiang who insisted on driving by himself from time to time, and thought very comfortably, "After this case is closed, it is time to arrange a desk for him, such a handsome guy, living in a small reception room every day, it is really not good." β
When the two of them stepped into the interrogation room of the city bureau, they happened to hear a familiar voice sound: "Officer, this kid is Zhong Fushou, I fight with him every day, and I recognize him when he turns to ashes!" Look at the nose, look at the eyes, it's definitely him! Officer, I really didn't mean to fight last nightβ"
The police officer sitting on the left said indifferently: "You said the same thing a few times ago. β
Xu Xincha looked at it, and the people in the interrogation room also happened to see him, and the two looked at each other for a second, and Xu Xincha smiled first.
He put his hands in his pockets and slowly shook in: "Zhao Weitao." β
The man named looked at the man behind him, bowed his head and said nothing.
Xu Xincha didn't care, he reached out and pressed a police officer who was about to stand up and give up his seat for him: "Who did you just say this person is?" β
ββ¦β¦ The bell is guarded. β
"Tell me more." Xu Xincha said, "Has he suddenly been particularly rich recently?" β
"How do you know!" Zhao Weitao raised his head suddenly, and then said indignantly, "Hey-if he hadn't been dangling a lot of money in front of me every day recently, would I have taken my little money to fight with him?" Then Yuan Qi is really, I said that I will pay it back sooner or later, and I urge it, where did I get the money to pay it back? β
He was still justified.
"Give you a chance to make meritorious service - where is Zhong Fu?"
"Mingdao Street Liuwu Hutong, he is not there during the day, and he will come back at night to gamble with his buddies."
Stepping out of the interrogation room, Xu Xincha was in a very happy mood, he looked at the document record book in Lu Hejiang's hand, the words on it were very beautiful, the content of the record was concise and clear at a glance, although some places were still not very professional, but compared with the newcomer, Lu He Jiang could only be described as excellent.
"After the case tracking record is sorted out, it can be sent to the city bureau to apply for arrest."
"But in order to ensure that the right person is caught, we have to enter the time realm again to see if Zhong Fushou is a person with time ability."
As soon as he said this, Lu Jijiang's face immediately changed, he pursed his lips tightly, and his eyes were a little gloomy. Xu Xincha didn't notice it at first, but soon felt a very uncomfortable gaze. He turned his head to see that he was meeting Lu and Jiang's amber eyes.
"You are not allowed to go."
Lu Jijiang put down this sentence in an unquestioning tone, and never answered any questions about Xu Xincha again.
Xu Xincha was a little tired, he seemed to have unconsciously angered this man for the second time - still the kind that didn't know how to solve it.
Fu Chuanchuan received Xu Xincha's message at noon, she was like a shot of chicken blood on the spot, and she came to her senses, and returned to work unexpectedly in the afternoon, and completed the document sorting of the progress of the case investigation with extremely amazing efficiency, and handed it over to Xu Xincha for review.
Before four o'clock in the afternoon, Wei Fei sent a message to Xu Xincha, saying that the arrest warrant had been issued.
The entire institute now only needs to wait for the police to arrest and bring people to justice, and if the suspects confess, their mission will be finally successfully concluded.
Zhong Fushou was arrested two days after the arrest warrant was issued. This kid didn't know where to hear the news, or he was weak and ran away in advance. But after all, he did not have the experience of the police officers of the city bureau, and he was arrested in a hotel and returned to City B.
There are generally two interrogators, one of whom is the recorder. And the nature of this case is somewhat special, so Xu Xincha, who is the director of the Institute of Time Research, also has the right to interrogate.
Since the incident, until Zhong Fushou was arrested and brought to justice, no one in the Shiyan Institute knew what Zhong Fushou looked like. It wasn't until Xu Xincha followed Wei Fei into the interrogation room and sat down, and when he raised his eyes and saw Zhong Fushou who was shackled with his hands and feet, he vaguely felt that this person looked a little familiar.
And the Zhong Annexed guard inside saw him, but he also smiled arrogantly and contemptuously at him.
Wei Fei, as the chief interrogator, took the lead in asking Zhong Fushou: "Is there anything you want to say?" β
Hearing this, Zhong Fushou raised his chin slightly, and his eyes suddenly became a little ruthless: "Officer, when you arrested me, you said that I killed someone, what about the evidence?" β
His tone was extremely arrogant, and his eyes glanced at Xu Xincha on the side, which seemed to be a little mocking. Wei Fei is an experienced veteran police officer, and he has seen a lot of various criminal suspects, so he naturally will not be provoked. Xu Xincha, who was sitting next to Wei Fei, listened to Wei Fei's question and Zhong Fushou's answer, but his face gradually sank.
The face of Zhong Attached gradually coincided with a human face in his memory, and it shook his memory like a storm.
"New tea, projector." Wei Fei frowned slightly and said. This bell is insisted that they have no direct evidence, so they have been quibbling.
He waited for a while, and found that the people around him did not make the slightest movement, and turned his head to look before he saw Xu Xincha's ugly face. Wei Fei was startled for a moment, then reacted, patted him on the shoulder, and repeated: "New tea, projector." β
Xu Xincha went out expressionlessly and brought the projector in. He stared at Zhong Fushou and spoke, his tone a little gloomy: "The law stipulates that what is extracted from the timeline can be directly used as evidence. As he spoke, he made a few strokes of his hand and the projector began to play.
"You don't have a stable source of income, you have an extra 20,000 yuan in your bank account, and at the place where you and Chen Sheng met, we found a camera." Wei Fei said, "Just yesterday, your employer can explain you. β
The projector freezes at the moment when Chen Sheng raised his eyes and saw Zhong Fushou's face. Xu Xincha stood behind the chair: "If you hand over these evidences, even if you don't admit it, you can be convicted." β
He gently threw down a sentence: "Do you think money can buy time?" β
Wei Fei clearly saw that Zhong Fushou's expression suddenly changed. From the triumphant at the beginning, it turned into anger. He suddenly moved, and the shackles that bound his hands and feet were slammed, and the police officer next to him hurriedly held him down.
A look called hatred burst out of Zhong Fushou's eyes, and it hit Xu Xincha deeply. The latter stood still as a mountain and stood behind the iron railings and watched him.
"Yes, I killed someone, and I broke his timeline directly! If it weren't for you time managers, who would have found out about us? Zhong Fushou seemed to want to struggle to break free from the oppression and shackles, "I got the money, and my employer bought the time - Director Xu, this era has changed!" β
Wei Fei directly ignored Zhong Fu's guard, and said to the police officer next to him who was a little stunned: "Sort out the records, the suspect has already confessed." β
For a long time, Xu Xincha sneered. He raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhong Fushou from top to bottom, and said in a determined tone: "Money can never buy time. β
Wei Fei hurriedly said: "Let's go out first, Xincha, the interrogation is over, and your work has been completed." β
Xu Xincha was as good as a stream, and without looking at Zhong Fushou, he pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked out.
There was a breeze in the corridor outside, which blew a little chilly on the body. Xu Xincha pulled up the zipper of his clothes, but he still felt that the wind had penetrated into the placket, he buried his head and walked forward, and suddenly felt that someone in front of him was blocked, he lifted it up, and found that it was Lu Jijiang, who should have been in school today.
On the bridge of the other party's nose is a pair of silver-rimmed glasses that he doesn't often wear, and the amber eyes behind the lenses don't seem to hide any emotions.
"You ......"
"You have a bad face." Lu Ji cut off Xu Xincha's words, and added, "The tutor brought some materials back, and if I want to read them first, let me come back first." β
As soon as he heard that Xu Xincha had gone to the city bureau, he also turned around and followed. Because he was not an interrogator, he asked the police to take him to the monitoring room, where he watched the whole process, and did not ignore Xu Xincha's mood swings at all.
Xu Xincha pondered for a moment, but Wei Fei came up from behind, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed: "Xincha, don't think about the past." β
After saying that, he nodded at Lu and walked forward.
Lu Ji took the subway in the future tense, and took Xu Xincha's car as a matter of course on the return trip. In the car, Xu Xincha couldn't bear Lu Youjiang's gaze and expressionless inquiry, so he had to explain everything.
"Zhong Fushou has an older brother who is also a time thief who killed my friend in front of me a few years ago...... I couldn't stop it. β
Xu Xincha said lightly, saying things that sounded unimaginable to ordinary people. Lu Jijiang didn't know what Xu Xincha's mood was at that time, but judging from Xu Xincha's expression when he mentioned the old things, he still couldn't forget it.
"Although our identity is not known to the public now, the times are progressing and developing, and one day time managers will be exposed to the public." Xu Xincha continued, "Zhong Fushou is very similar to his brother, both believe in the idea that money can buy time. β
"It's hard to buy an inch of time, and this kind of talk has long been out of place! From the moment the time manager and timeline appear, buy time with money, and there will definitely come a day! β
ββThis is what Zhong Fushou's brother said after he was arrested, Xu Xincha came over as a relative and friend of the victim at that time and heard this sentence.
"Don't talk about that, let's go back first."
He adjusted the gear lever and continued to walk forward, today it was a rainy day in City B, and the continuous spring rain and the endless gloomy sky made people feel extremely uncomfortable. Fortunately, there were still a few rays of light leaking out from under the gloomy sky, soothing the depressed mood.
