Chapter 37: You Really Don't Confess to Yourself
Han Xinrui, how could it be that she called me four times?
Thinking that my mother-in-law did not allow me to contact Han Xinrui, Han Xinrui must have a deep understanding, but she was still in such a hurry to find me, she must have encountered something urgent.
Thinking like this, I didn't care about my mother-in-law's warning, and hurriedly called Han Xinrui back.
After connecting the phone, we learned that Han Xinrui was summoned by the Municipal Criminal Investigation Brigade this morning.
The reason is that the police found Chen Chao's body at about 2 o'clock this morning at the three-way intersection of the city's West Third Ring Road.
Because some time ago, Han Xinrui had a conflict with Chen Chao in the bar, so the police searched for clues and found Han Xinrui from Chen Chao's recent personal relationship.
Han Xinrui cooperated with the inquiry, truthfully explained the reason for the conflict with Chen Chao, and she also had an alibi at the time of Chen Chao's death.
At the time of the incident, Han Xinrui was playing mahjong with her classmates.
"Ye Jing, the reason why I called you so urgently is to tell you that I didn't tell the police that I was with you at the bar, I was worried that Han Xiaoyue would know that she and her aunt would misunderstand me."
Han Xinrui said anxiously, but I shook my head when I heard it, I said Why are you so stupid, the police can find you to ask, and they must also know from the surveillance at the bar and outside the bar, you were drinking with me on the night of the blizzard!
When Han Xinrui heard this, she became even more anxious, saying that she didn't think about it so much, she just didn't want to involve me in.
"So now, will the police mistake me for shielding you?" Han Xinrui's words made me nervous suddenly.
Because, something is wrong!
Han Xinrui has been interrogated for a while, and it stands to reason that the police should know that I was drinking with Han Xinrui that night, and if the police suspected that Han Xinrui was shielding me, they should have summoned me a long time ago.
But until now, I haven't received a notice from the police, so is it possible, the police don't want to startle the snake, they can know that I have been to the West Third Ring Road from last night's urban monitoring!
Thinking of this, I was even more panicked, Han Xinrui on the other side of the phone saw that I didn't say anything for a long time, she was about to cry and said that she really didn't want to trap me, she said that she would contact the police immediately, saying that the rainstorm that night was drinking with me.
"Don't contact me, I'll figure it out myself!"
I said in a panic, hung up the phone in a hurry, and called King Zheng as soon as possible, asking if anyone had gone to his shop this morning to ask about anything.
King Zheng said loudly: "Are you fucking in trouble, you don't ask me, I didn't think about it so much, just half an hour ago, two policemen came and asked who I was drinking with last night, and I said that there were you and Zhou Wu." ”
I was even more uneasy when I heard it, thinking that it was over, the more I thought about it, it was better to have less things, and as a result, from Han Xinrui's explanation, it made me fall into passivity.
"Little brother, there can't really be an accident, right? You kid, did you pick up dead goods on the way back alone last night?! ”
King Zheng immediately asked.
I said bitterly in my heart, Brother Zheng, you are really a magic stick, I have indeed picked up dead goods!
Here in our Xihe City, the local dialect means picking up dead goods, which actually refers to picking up a drunk woman on the side of the road at night and bringing it back to play happily.
But I worked hard, and the dead goods I picked up were Chen Chao's corpse!
"Brother Zheng, I'm fine, just ask casually."
In the end, I didn't want King Zheng to worry about me, so I said nonsense, and not long after hanging up the phone uneasily, sure enough, I received a call from Captain Hou Shaohui, asking me to go downstairs immediately, and he was waiting outside the community.
I panicked and said I knew, got dressed, rushed into the bathroom and washed my face.
Looking at myself in the mirror with a nervous expression, I warned not to be afraid, I didn't kill anyone, at most I honestly told me what I saw in the early hours of this morning.
I got out of the community and saw Hou Shaohui in casual clothes, waiting for me outside.
He gave me enough face and didn't drive a police car in a police uniform to pass me on.
I obediently sat in the back seat of the car, while Officer Hou sat in the passenger seat.
The driver was an elderly plainclothes man, and I heard Officer Hou call him Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang's attitude towards me is more serious, even when driving, he will often glance at me through the rearview mirror, and his tense face makes me feel a little depressed.
Hou Shaohui told me that Lao Zhang was like this, let me not mind, he changed his words and asked me where I went last night?
I knew that I couldn't hide it anymore, so I took the initiative to tell me about going to Zheng Wang's shop to drink last night, and then seeing Chen Chao being killed alone on the three-way road at midnight.
I didn't dare to hide it in the slightest, nor did I exaggerate in any way.
When I finished speaking, I felt a sense of relief.
"You kid, two days ago, I was still praising you for being a good citizen who acted bravely, but it's only been a few days, and you haven't called the police in time when you see a murder."
Lao Zhang's words made me a little embarrassed, I didn't dare to argue, and apologized to Lao Zhang's sorry.
Hou Shaohui smiled instead, patted me on the shoulder and said that it was okay, he said that ordinary people basically react the same as me when they see a murder case, which cannot be said to be wrong, nor should it be morally kidnapped.
I thanked Officer Hou gratefully, and Hou Shaohui laughed: "Do you know that Lao Zhang and I came to you not because of Chen Chao's case!" ”
What's going on?
I was stunned when I heard this, and looked at Hou Shaohui in confusion.
Officer Hou smiled: "You really don't confess yourself, I asked you, where did you go last night, it was purely an inquiry after dinner." Who knows, but you told Chen Chao's case, hahaha......"
Lao Zhang, who was driving, also laughed, and when he looked at me, he no longer had the seriousness he had just now, and he said: "If you let your kid travel to wartime, you will definitely be a traitor seeking glory, and you will confess before you have been tortured." ”
This is simply looking down on people!
I couldn't hear it well, but Hou Shaohui smiled and changed the awkward topic, and he said to me: "I came to you today to ask you for a favor." ”
I snorted, feeling a little uncomfortable in my heart, feeling that I was being tricked by Hou Shaohui as a monkey.
Obviously, Han Xinrui and Zheng Wang both talked about the police investigation, and they didn't know which of his words was true and which was false.
"Don't be angry, why are big men so stingy?" Hou Shaohui patted me on the shoulder again and said with a smile: "If you are angry again, I can treat you as if you didn't report it, and when you saw the murder, you didn't report it, I suspect that you are suspected of harboring ......."
I immediately coaxed and said, good guy, can you still target good people like this?
Hou Shaohui laughed, so I didn't hold back, and laughed with him.
Next, Lao Zhang drove us to the forensic department of the city bureau, and Hou Shaohui took out a computer hard drive, slapped it on the desk, and said to me:
"Ye Jing, I really want to ask you this time, it's not too embarrassing to say, even if we dispatch network police technicians here, we can't unlock the password of this hard drive, so we can only ask you for help."
I looked at the drive and asked, "Where did this drive come from?" Officer Hou, don't be kidding, you professional and technical personnel can't unlock the password, you let me, a broken graduate, come? ”
Hou Shaohui said with a harmless face: "This is from the hard disk in the photographer Li Wenzhe's computer, and we suspect that there is an important secret in it." ”
As he spoke, he approached me and whispered in my ear: "You also know that Li Wenzhe is a pervert and a photographer, maybe there is a photo of your wife in it!" ”
No way?
I was startled, looked at the hard drive in surprise, and remembered that Li Wenzhe had been thinking about my wife for a long time, maybe that guy might really have secretly filmed something that was not visible.
After thinking about it like this, Hou Shaohui whispered to me again: "I know that you are Yang Wensheng's senior disciple, and it is estimated that in the entire city, only you can crack this password." If we apply for a technician from the hall, I'm worried that the things on the hard drive won't be able to cover it. ”
"Okay, don't say anything, can't I do it?"
I didn't even think about it, I immediately agreed, in fact, I knew that Hou Shaohui was embarrassed to invite people from the provincial department, otherwise they would be ridiculed.
But I can't say this, I can only pretend to agree, which caused Hou Shaohui to nod with satisfaction, and he said to me: "I promise you, if there is any privacy of Han Xiaoyue in it, you can choose to delete it, but you can't destroy other evidence!" ”
I said yes, grabbed the hard drive and walked into the computer room next door.
