Chapter 3: Sound
"Bang" I was sitting in the living room, and I heard a heavy sound of the door closing outside, Zhang Chao walked in with some excitement and said: "Luo Xi, I am about to force them to death, but it is not fruitless, they have shortened the time error to less than half an hour, just like you said, the murderer does have a fixed time for killing, and all the people here died from 11:45 in the evening to 12:15 in the morning." ”
I still looked at the file in my hand, and said without raising my head: "That's good, can it be more precise?" ”
Zhang Chao scratched his head embarrassedly, picked up the unfinished beer beside me, drank it in one gulp, and then said: "You really think we are God, with the current level of science and technology, it can be accurate to half an hour, which is already the limit, but if they can give them some more time, they can send the materials to the United States, which can be accurate to less than 15 minutes." ”
I stood up, took out my phone, looked at the time, and smiled, "Let's go." ”
Zhang Chao looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Where are you going?" It's already past five o'clock in the afternoon, why don't we go to dinner first? I'm in for a treat. "It's rare that there has been a trace of progress in the case, and Zhang Chao can't help but feel good, although he doesn't know what this time means, but after all, it is also a clue.
I shook my head, pulled out a copy from the pile of files, handed it to Zhang Chao and smiled, "Go find her." ”
This dossier is Li Jiaxin's confession transcript, Zhang Chao looked at me with some confusion and said, "She? She took notes this morning, and now she's going to look for her again? Is there anything special? ”
I patted my forehead helplessly, and said with some hatred: "You are still the leader of the serious crime team, you look carefully at Li Jiaxin's confession." ”
Zhang Chao quickly skimmed through the confession, then raised his head in shock, looked at me and said: "Li Jiaxin called his father when she came home, and heard the response, if her father died in the early hours of the morning, then whose answer did she hear?" In other words, what kind of voice did Li Jiaxin hear? ”
I smiled and nodded, sorted out the file, held it in my hand and said, "Let's go, say that Li Jiaxin is still at home." ”
Zhang Chao followed behind me, closed the door casually, and then walked to my side and asked, "How do you know that Li Jiaxin is at home now?" Wouldn't she be going out now? ”
Walking downstairs, I flagged down a taxi before continuing: "She's not at home, that's even better, if she's going to go out today, then we can focus our investigation on her." ”
Zhang Chao frowned and thought for a long time, finally reacted, nodded and said: "You are right, the people who are close to her have passed away, if she is still in the mood to go out, it proves that she is not as sad as we imagined, then she has a ghost in her heart." ”
Zhang Chao's home is not too far from Li Jiaxin's home, as I thought, after I knocked on the door, Li Jiaxin opened with tears on her face, first looked at me suspiciously, until Zhang Chao stepped forward She reluctantly squeezed out a smile: "Sir Zhang, hello." ”
Zhang Chao took out his police ID card and put it on, then pointed at me and said: "This is a private detective who has been cooperating with our police station, his name is Luo Xi, we came this time to learn more about the situation with you, I don't know if it is convenient for you." ”
Li Jiaxin nodded and let us in: "Sir Zhang, Mr. Luo, you go and sit on the sofa first, and I'll pour you a glass of water." ”
I waved my hand, took Zhang Chao straight to the sofa in the living room and sat down, and then said to Li Jiaxin: "No need Miss Li, let's leave after asking." ”
Li Jiaxin didn't insist, but walked to the sofa opposite us and sat down, took out a tissue to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "I've already said what I should say, I don't know what else you want to ask?" ”
Zhang Chao took out the voice recorder from his pocket and put it on the coffee table, I was not polite, took out her confession in the morning, handed it to her and said: "That's right, Miss Zhang, your transcript says that you called your father in the living room when you came home in the morning, and you heard his response, right?" ”
Li Jiaxin was stunned, as if she was stuck in memory, and after a few minutes, she nodded and said, "Yes, I told him at that time that I put the tea cake on the table, and my father replied with a 'yes', and then I went to take a bath." ”
I turned my head to look at Zhang Chao, and in his eyes, I also saw a deep shock, and I hurriedly continued to ask, "Are you sure that the person who answered is your father?" ”
When I asked me this, Li Jiaxin obviously didn't understand, she looked at me and said, "Mr. Luo, I don't know what you mean by this?" ”
I smiled awkwardly, after all, it was not humane to ask a girl who had just lost her father a lot of questions about her father, but in desperation, I continued to ask: "I am not questioning your hearing, you know, you did not open your father's door at that time, you just heard his voice, how can you be sure that this voice is your father's?" ”
When I asked like this, Li Jiaxin was also a little unsure, this time she thought about it for a long time before she said with certainty: "I'm sure, my mother died very early, I lived with my father for decades, and I will never admit his voice." ”
I nodded, sorted out the file again, stood up and said, "Thank you, Miss Li, then I'll go first." ”
Walking out of Li Jiaxin's house, Zhang Chao looked at me with some confusion and said, "What are you doing?" That's a good question, why don't you suddenly ask? ”
I smiled, took out a cigarette from my pocket and lit it: "No need to ask, Li Jiaxin is lying." ”
Zhang Chao was stunned, took the cigarette I handed over and said, "Lying? How do you know? ”
I glanced at Zhang Chao and suddenly said, "Zhang Chao, your cigarette is not lit." ”
Zhang Chao hurriedly took down the cigarette in his mouth and looked at it, before he smiled: "You kid, you obviously lit it, and you lied to me." Suddenly, he was stunned, looked at me and spitted: "Luo Xi, you're right, Li Jiaxin is lying." ”
I handed the case file in my hand to Zhang Chao and said with a smile: "That's right, there is a theory called questioning in psychology, that is, when someone questions you, you will find the most favorable evidence to refute him, just like you just now, I question that you are not lighting a cigarette, even if the cigarette is on your mouth, you only have to take a puff to know whether you have lit it or not, you still take the cigarette down and look at it, you just want to find the most favorable evidence, just like when we were children, we were deceived by our classmates that we did not tie our shoes, We all unconsciously look down at our shoes, which is questioning the theory. I just handed her the case file, but when I questioned her, she didn't look at the case file, but gave me a very sure answer, there are only two kinds of people who can do this, the first is a person with good psychological quality and well-trained, and the second is a person who is lying. As an ordinary person, Li Jiaxin naturally cannot have such a good psychological quality, so there is only one answer, she is lying, this lie has been said hundreds of thousands of times in her heart, so she can be so confident. ”
Zhang Chao saw me standing on the side of the road and wanted to stop a taxi, so he grabbed me and said, "Then why don't you demolish her in person?" I guess it shouldn't be difficult with your wisdom, right? At least we can take her back to the police station and ask for it. ”
I smiled and shook my head, reached out to stop a taxi and said with a smile: "There's no need, if she really has something to do with this matter, we will only startle the snake by doing this, and the sadness in her eyes is not pretended, at least, her father's death is really a big blow to her, so I can prove that she should not have much to do with this case." ”
Zhang Chao also got into the car, glared at me and said, "It's really hard for me to imagine what your brain is made of, you are so smart, where are we going next?" ”
Although it was only a little past six o'clock, it was very early in winter, and the streets were already lit up at this time. I sighed: "Let's stop here today, go eat something first, you also go and rest early, tomorrow we will go to the hospital." ”
After Zhang Chao said the name of a restaurant to the driver, he continued to ask, "To the hospital?" Why? ”
I turned my head to look at Zhang Chao, and said helplessly: "Can you think about it yourself, although Li Jiaxin lied about some things, at least his father's answer is unlikely to lie, because if she should have heard the approximate time of his father's death at the forensic doctor's place, if she really wanted to lie, there was no need to tell such an important lie, sometimes, the more impossible things sounded, the more likely they were to be true." Let's go to the hospital to see her father's body. ”
Zhang Chao smiled awkwardly, reached out and touched the back of his head and said: "Actually, I used to like to think about things, but I don't know why, after cooperating with you, I don't want to think about things, by the way, why don't we go now?" It's okay to go back after eating. ”
I glanced at Zhang Chao and said helplessly: "Look at your current appearance, your eyes are red like a ghost, I don't want to run around with a guy who is not a person, a ghost is not a ghost, I have a good rest tonight, and once I think a lot of things, I will be sleepy, don't come to me too early tomorrow morning."
