I went to the scene to take a look, and as the Minister of Security said, the place where the punch card machine is located happens to be a surveillance blind spot.

"But you can see people coming in and out here." The Minister of Security clicked on a certain surveillance video and enlarged it: "This is the door of the office building, you can see it when you enter and exit, and the punch card machine is inside, so it's not just a matter of comparing the time when Cheng Ren appeared and the time he punched in, isn't it, just a few steps." ”

Generally speaking, it is, but for some reason, there is always a shadow lingering in my heart.

Chengren's overtime that night was supposed to be on leave, but because he quarreled with Qingwen, he finally chose to come to work, he clocked in very early, and most of his colleagues happened to be having dinner at that time, and it can be seen from the video that Chengren walked into the office building alone at the empty gate.

"And after that, did he stay in the office?" I took the cigarette from the manager, held it in my hand and didn't light it, lowered my eyes and asked thoughtfully.

The manager replied: "That's right, Officer He, let me explain to you, Chengren's job is a color designer, he doesn't stay in the office all the time, he has to go down to the workshop often, he needs to control the color of each batch of products, sometimes there is a mistake in the workshop printing, and he needs to remedy it, so you ask me if he has been staying in the office, I can't answer at all, and I don't have the same office with him." ”

Chengren is an independent office.

I asked to go to the workshop again, and found a few workers who were said to have seen Chengren, and they couldn't remember the specific time, but when I sorted out the fragmentary impressions they said according to the timeline, I could see that Chengren basically went back and forth between the workshop and the office, and there was no blank time for a long time.

The manager breathed a sigh of relief: "Officer He, look, this should show that Chengren is innocent, he has no time to commit the crime." ”

"Judging from the current situation, he has not been officially listed as a criminal suspect by us, and I have come here for routine questioning." I replied habitually, my eyes still glued to the timeline that had been sorted out.

The manager was very happy: "That's good, that's good." ”

I looked up and saw the cold sweat on the manager's forehead, and I immediately understood.

For a factory, the involvement of its employees in the Xing case would probably damage the company's image.

My gaze crossed the manager and landed outside the glass door, where stood a tall, thin figure, and I knew very well that it was Chengren.

"Don't be nervous, trust in justice." I patted the manager on the shoulder, who nodded in agreement, and I added, "Control the gossip in the factory." ”

"That's for sure, that's for sure." The manager said in a loud voice.

"Send us out?" I pushed open the glass door and greeted the silent Chengren, and my thumb compared the direction of the stairs in the hallway.

Chengren looked up, and for a moment I seemed to see something in his eyes, but the emotion disappeared too quickly to catch any traces.

The manager led the way in front diligently, Wang Qiuyue and Lin Yi walked side by side in front, and I was one step behind, just shoulder to shoulder with Chengren.

"Actually, I didn't think Qingwen would die." Cheng Ren suddenly spoke, his voice was very soft, sandwiched between the footsteps of everyone going downstairs, so light that it was almost inaudible.

"Why didn't you come forward in the first place?" My voice was not high, and I looked ahead, and I walked down a flight of stairs briskly, with my hands in my trouser pockets, and I looked very relaxed.

No one expected us to be talking about the case.

"Because I'm afraid." Chengren's voice was very steady: "He Yang, do you remember that you saved me in the basement?" ”

"Of course I do."

"I told you at the time that I didn't know why the person dressed as a clown found me, and then I wondered if it was because of Qingwen, did he know that I was Qingwen's boyfriend."

"What's the connection?"

Chengren's footsteps hesitated, half a step behind me, and quickly caught up: "If I die, then can he push the suspicion on my head very smoothly?" And not as it is now......"

"It's also a normal investigation now." I interrupted Chengren's words: "Since you are afraid, why did you suddenly stand up again?" ”

Although we have also turned our attention to Qingwen's boyfriend, if Chengren hadn't taken the initiative to stand up, the progress would not have been so fast, because Lin Yi found that Qingwen's boyfriend was very mysterious, and almost no one had seen him except Sakura, and Sakura had only met briefly once before, and his impression was vague.

"Because you know Sakura identified you?" I half-turned my head, my gaze sharp, not letting go of the slightest fluctuation on Chengren's face.

"Who is Sakura-chan?" The shock on Chengren's face was very real: "She identified me? Identify me what? Is it the murderer? Why did she identify me? ”

I simply stopped and looked at Chengren carefully, and I had to admit that if his reaction was acting now, it would be a pity not to mix in the entertainment industry.

It can be deduced from the words of Naruhito and Sakura, it is normal for them not to know each other's names, and Qingwen has only introduced their identities.

"Then why did you change your mind and decide to confess your relationship with Qingwen to the police?" I pulled the question back up.

"Ever since I found out about Qingwen's accident, I've been worried...... I'm scared that you're going to be suspicious of me, you're going to go to the factory to investigate my situation, I'm going to be pointed at by my colleagues, and I'm going to have to be under pressure even if I haven't done anything. Chengren said helplessly.

I took a step again, and the footsteps of the two people sounded in the stairwell again, and the manager in front, Wang Qiuyue and Lin Yi had already gone to the next floor, and even their backs disappeared around the corner.

"Later, when you saved me, I thought, how can I say that you are also my savior, I believe that you will return my innocence."

"Your logic is a little weird." I pointed out mercilessly: "Your girlfriend was killed, why is your first reaction to fear of being considered a murderer by the police?" Aren't you a victim? What are you doing in your heart? ”

"Because we quarreled." Chengren was a little innocent: "The quarrel is very strong, the quarrel has been more than once, and more importantly, the two of us are in a secret relationship, she never introduced me to her friend, and I haven't done it, if nothing else, that birthday KTV will be the first time I appear as her boyfriend." ”

At this time, we had already walked to the gate of the factory, Lin Yi got into the driver's seat, and Wang Qiuyue went to the back row.
