Chapter 450: Life and Death (21)
Interrogation room, Zhang Shuping.
Zhang Shuping is the father of Zhang Xiaochun and Zhang Xiaoqiu.
It is said that a girl's appearance is always more like her father, and if you look closely, this statement does make sense.
Zhang Shuping's appearance is quite delicate, wearing glasses, and he has the feeling of an old-school intellectual. No wonder his daughter was born beautiful.
When he sat there, he was also polite.
He was not handcuffed.
For suspects who have turned themselves in, the police always try to create an equal and relaxed atmosphere of communication.
"You said that you killed Zhou Xi," Wu said wrongly, "and you also disposed of the corpse?" β
"Yes."
"Where is the body?"
"In ...... Guoziling used to have an abandoned power station, you know? β
Guoziling is located in the northeast of Keihoku City, and it is two mountains that are not big or small.
Wu Cuo nodded, "I've heard of it." β
"There's a brick house there, a watch room, for the people who guard the power station, but it's been abandoned for a long time.
There was a blister behind the brick house, and if anything fell into it, it could be drowned, and the corpse would sink into the blister. β
Wu Cuo quietly breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally! This silent corpse has been found! β
"Why did you choose this place to dump the body?" Wu asked wrongly.
"I work in the planning bureau, and there was a year before that, the abandoned power station was going to be converted into a resort, and the blisters would be filled.
Unfortunately, the plan was not implemented, the cooperation was not negotiated, and the power station was still abandoned.
However, this account made a special impression on me, so when I was handling the corpse, I immediately thought of blisters. β
Wu Cuo frowned, even so, it would be extremely difficult to dig up a quagmire and find the body from it.
He quickly pulled his thoughts back and continued to ask, "You said that we arrested the wrong person, and you did the murder alone?" β
"Yes, yes, it's okay with my son."
The years have allowed this man in his 50s to face the ups and downs calmly, but when it comes to his only remaining child, Zhang Shuping can't be calm.
Wu Cuo did not express his position on his statement.
Zhang Shuping's eyes flickered a few times, and finally said: "One life is worth one life, it's enough for you to catch me, Xiaochun is still young, and he can't be ruined." β
After a moment of silence, Wu Cuo said: "But Zhang Xiaochun has already confessed, the time of the killing was after Zhang Xiaoqiu's funeral, and the location was in your family's old house, and it was he who killed him, not you, and then you dealt with the scene with him and repainted the house to cover up the bloodstains......"
When he spoke, Wu Cuo was weak-hearted, and Zhang Xiaochun didn't even explain a word, all of this was just the result of a group of investigations into a serious case.
A day ago, news reports began to tend to believe that Qin Shouru, the crown prince, was innocent, and the real murderer, Zhang Xiaochun, had been arrested.
In the "Jingbei Evening News" and the accompanying electronic version of the news, a whole page was used to introduce this emotional entanglement four years ago.
If you count the children Zhang Xiaoqiu once had, a campus love that broke up after graduation, and three lives before and after, it is really embarrassing.
Some details of the crime were also revealed in the news:
"According to the suspect Zhang, he ...... in the process of killing Zhou Xizheng"
In fact, the news in the news is also the result of the investigation of the serious crime team.
But Zhang Shuping didn't know this, since Zhang Xiaochun was arrested and interrogated, he couldn't see his son.
After reading the news, Zhang Shuping could no longer be calm.
His only remaining child is about to face severe legal sanctions, possibly even the death penalty.
That's homicide!
This is the result that he voluntarily turned himself in and took the blame on himself.
A group of several people in the serious case looked at the anxious father outside the surveillance glass, some shook their heads, and some sighed secretly, pitying the hearts of parents all over the world!
"You said that you killed Zhou Xizheng, then you can tell me about the killing process."
"Process...... It was indeed after Xiaoqiu's funeral...... The idea of a fake funeral was one that Koharu and I came up with, and if I didn't do that, my wife would not be able to hold on...... In the middle of the funeral, Koharu ran away, and I felt that something was wrong and kept calling him.
Later, when the dinner was over to thank the guests, he called back, saying that he was looking for Xiaoqiu.
As soon as I heard this, I was so excited that I was about to have a heart attack, so I didn't care about anything else, so I hurriedly went to the old house as Xiaochun said.
When I arrived, Zhou Xizheng had already been tied upβjust tied up! Koharu didn't kill him! I killed it! Zhang Shuping emphasized.
Wu Cuo nodded and told him not to get excited, "Why are you detaining Zhou Xizheng?" β
"Xiaochun said that it was Zhou Xizheng who deceived Xiaoqiu and hid it."
"Him?"
"Zhou Xizheng saw that the matter was getting bigger, so he confessed that he just lied that he knew where Xiaoqiu was and wanted to ask us for some money."
"Do you believe Zhou Xizheng's words?"
"I ......" Zhang Shuping sighed, "I can actually see that Xiaoqiu's disappearance has nothing to do with him, besides, we have long known that Xiaoqiu has suicidal thoughts......"
"Then why did you kill him?"
He ...... Damn it! β¦β¦ If he had the slightest bit of humanity, I wouldn't kill him...... He brought it all upon himself! β
Zhang Shuping gasped heavily, clenched his hands into fists, and tried to suppress his anger.
Wu Cuo didn't interject, waited for him to adjust his mood, and continued: "The surname Zhou said, even if Xiaoqiu is dead, it has nothing to do with him. He just asked for money, and if we didn't give money, he shook out Xiaoqiu's affairs, and made a fuss until everyone knew about it, and every good name was good when he died.
It's so poisonous! The family was blackmailed by him, and I had enough! I can't take it anymore, so I'll ......"
Wu Cuo asked, "How did you kill him?" What is the murder weapon? Let's be specific. β
"Strangulation, murder weapon words...... We had planned to renovate the old house before, but Xiaoqiu's mood had been unstable, so things were put on hold, but some tools had been taken out...... I remember, it was the hammer...... I smashed him to death with a hammer. β
"What do you do with the hammer?"
"I ...... I don't remember...... It seems like...... Thrown away with a corpse? I guess so. β
"How exactly did you kill Zhou Xizheng? Where is he in the house? What posture? Where are you standing? How to smash him? Please draw it briefly. Wu mistakenly handed him a pen and paper.
"Okay," Zhang Shuping took it and said while drawing: "It's in the living room, he was tied up at the time......"
Wu Cuo said: "I'm sorry, interrupt, what did you use to tie up Zhou Xizheng?" β
"The strapping rope used for moving, we have to pour some old things from the old house to the new house from time to time, so the family has always prepared the strapping rope."
"How is the rope handled? Remember? β
"The rope was tied to him all the time, and it was never untied, and it sank with him into a blister."
"Okay, please keep drawing."
