Chapter 175: Human Nature

"Do you have a way?" Wen Ning asked me rhetorically. Everyone hadn't slept all night, especially the criminal police in the office of the task force, who had been working overtime for many days in a row. At dawn, the leader of the police academy also arrived, and when he came, Wen Ning was asking me how to convict me.

There was no evidence left at the scene that could directly prove that Zeng Rui and Hong Jie were the murderers, in this case, we can only start with confessions. The confession of a criminal suspect is known as the king of evidence, and in many cases where there is insufficient evidence, the confession of a criminal suspect will play a role in conviction.

I am absolutely opposed to extorting confessions by torture, because City B is the highest system in the police circles, and the public opinion in the media is large, so the police will naturally not extort confessions by torture. In this case, pen fairy and other so-called ghost methods were used, and the police and I struggled to find clues and finally identified the suspect, which shows how thoughtful the murderer's arrangement was.

Before Hong Jie and Zeng Rui committed the crime, they probably had already thought about what they would say if the police suspected them. When I said that I wanted to convict through the confession of the suspect, Wen Ning shook his head, he also took this into account, he thought that whether it was Hong Jie or Zeng Rui, they were very calm, and it was almost impossible to get words out of their mouths.

"They are not stupid, they conspired to commit such a cruel crime, even if they turn themselves in and confess now, they will basically not escape the death penalty, and for the two of them, reputation is more important, do you think they will confess?" Wen Ning sighed.

Hearing Wen Ning say this, the leader of the police academy became anxious, he said that he couldn't withstand the pressure and accepted an interview with the media. He has already released his words that he will solve the case as soon as possible and give an explanation to the victim's family. I told Wen Ning and the leaders not to worry, and I asked them rhetorically, have you forgotten what happened when Zeng Rui went out to meet Hong Jie.

Zeng Rui and Hong Jie obviously quarreled, so Zeng Rui gave Hong Jie a slap, the reason for their quarrel may be emotional problems, or it may be that the attitudes of both parties are different after the crime. When interrogating criminal suspects, they must comply with the provisions of the law, and in addition to extorting confessions by torture, they must not engage in phishing-style induced interrogation.

However, this does not mean that interrogation is not skilled, interrogation is a discipline that is being studied by the police circles all over the country, which is mixed with many marginal disciplines, the most important of which is psychology. I am ready to take advantage of the quarrel between Zeng Rui and Hong Jie to take advantage of the weakness of human nature to solve the case.

Wen Ning understood, he asked me what to do, I thought about it, without further ado, let him go and bring Zeng Rui over immediately, it was time to control Zeng Rui and list him as a formal suspect for interrogation. Wen Ning nodded and immediately asked people to do it.

Soon, Zeng Rui was taken to the office of the task force by the criminal police, and when he saw us and the leaders of the police academy, Zeng Rui lowered his head and greeted him softly. According to my intention, Wen Ning asked all the other criminal police officers to go out, closed all the doors and windows, and after the office was vacated, only Wen Ning and Wen Ning were left with the case-handling personnel, as well as another person in charge of making records.

Zeng Rui sat opposite us, she kept her head down, and it wasn't until Wen Ning opened her mouth to speak that Zeng Rui raised her head. Her face was not panicked, and it was as calm as it had been when we had seen her before. Wen Ning asked her where she went when she left the police academy, Zeng Rui frowned slightly, and asked Wen Ning why she asked this question.

I didn't hide it: "The police suspect that you have something to do with the death of the four deceased, so now it's an interrogation, not an inquiry." As a student of the police academy, you should understand the difference between interrogation and questioning, right? Zeng Rui was slightly stunned, then nodded, saying that she would confess truthfully.

Interrogation refers to the mandatory questioning of a criminal suspect by the police during the investigation stage, and the interrogation is only the collection of evidence and confessions of witnesses or people who have not yet been defined as criminal suspects by the police.

"Very well, tell me where I left the police academy." Wen Ning asked again.

When interrogating Hong Jie, Hong Jie had already admitted that he had met Zeng Rui. As I expected, Zeng Rui also honestly said that she went out to see her Hong Jie. Zeng Rui called Hong Jie his boyfriend, Wen Ning continued to ask him what he was going to see Hong Jie for, Zeng Rui said that it was just a normal meeting.

Wen Ning: "You had an argument? ”

Zeng Rui nodded: "It's a very ordinary quarrel." When asked this, Zeng Rui must have understood that she was being followed by the police, so she did not deny it.

Wen Ning: "At the time of the crime, you didn't go to play with your friends, where did you go, and why didn't you confess truthfully when you asked?" ”

Zeng Rui: "I went to find Hong Jie because he has a family, and I don't want others to know." ”

"You had an abortion?" Without beating around the bush, I asked directly.

Zeng Rui's expression changed significantly, she obviously didn't expect that we even knew this. Tears rolled down Zeng Rui's eyes, and she asked how we knew. The four girls who knew about it were also dead, and if it weren't for Xu Yi's reminder, we wouldn't have started through the illegal clinic at all.

"If I say that it was Hong Jie who told me everything, would you believe it?" I asked.

Zeng Rui didn't even think about it, she shook her head: "No, he won't...... I mean, he's not going to say that kind of thing. Zeng Rui was already panicked, and her answer made Wen Ning and I more sure that Zeng Rui was the murderer. Zeng Rui cried so hard that she begged us not to tell the school, let alone her father.

Wen Ning sighed: "Do you think that the people in the school will not know about it now?" Wen Ning said that if Zeng Rui had nothing to do with this case, the police would not care about this kind of moral issue, and as for how the police academy would punish her, it was a matter for the police academy and had nothing to do with the police.

Zeng Rui wiped away the tears on her face, and she emphasized here that she did not unite with Hong Jie, let alone kill anyone. She and Hong Jie are together, and they just love each other sincerely.

"You love him so much." I interrupted Zeng Rui.

Zeng Rui nodded.

Me: "Do you think he loves you?" ”

Zeng Rui still nodded.

"Are you sure Hong Jie is not just playing, he has his own family."

Hearing this, Zeng Rui's emotions immediately became excited, she said that she could abandon morality and be with Hong Jie because she loved Hong Jie and believed that Hong Jie loved her. I waved my hand to tell Zeng Rui to calm down.

"Zeng Rui, whether you are a murderer or not, I want to say a word to you. The human heart is very complicated, and you are not old enough to be able to read through the human heart. I stood up: "If you are not the murderer, the police will not force you to confess, but if you are the murderer, please think about the four girls who died miserably, they are like you, and they may also have people they love." You don't have to answer in a hurry, listen to what Hong Jie has to say, and then decide whether you want to make a guilty confession or a not guilty confession. ”

Zeng Rui's expression became complicated, Hong Jie stayed in a small room next to the office of the task force, and as soon as the time stipulated in the procedure arrived, the police had to release him, and before that, I had to solve the case. I asked Wen Ning to guard Zeng Rui in the office of the task force, and I took another criminal policeman into the room where Hong Jie was.

There was no bed in the room, Hong Jie was lying on the long desk, curled up, his back to me, and when I opened the door and came in, I deliberately made a loud noise, but Hong Jie didn't seem to hear it. I knew he was pretending to be asleep, and he was too deliberately disguised, but it became a suspicion.

In such an environment, there were few people who could fall asleep, so I took out my mobile phone, dialed Wen Ning's number, and put it in my pocket.

"No need to pretend, get up." I said to Hong Jie.

Hong Jie still didn't turn around, I walked up to his side and gently patted him on the shoulder with my hand, he turned his head and opened his eyes. Looking at Hong Jie's face so closely, I felt even more familiar with him, and I was sure that I had seen this person. Maybe I met it inadvertently, so I still can't remember where I met Hong Jie.

Hong Jie asked if he could go, and I nodded, saying that he would be able to leave soon, but I would have to interrogate him again. Hong Jie smiled, looking very unconcerned, and said that he would definitely cooperate with us.

I nodded and told him to do it, and the other detective sat down and began to take notes.
