The master listened carefully to their reasoning process, and he also thought that Zhao Jun was very suspicious.

It happened that at this time, news came from the laboratory department that Zhao Jun's fingerprints were found on the canvas bag at the scene of Yang Xiu's death.

"We can get in touch with this Zhao Jun." With years of experience as a criminal policeman, he felt that they were getting closer and closer to the truth.

"I'll summon him now." As he spoke, Li Muzi stood up.

"Don't worry." The master stopped him. "That's not enough. We'll go back when the tech department has restored our phones and laptops and we have more hole cards in our hands. To deal with such cunning people, we must hit them with one blow. ”

Although it was only 5 o'clock in the afternoon when I came out of the criminal police team, the sun had already set, the sky was also blue, and even many street lamps were lit up.

"You two go back first, and we'll leave the rest to us, and we'll definitely catch the murderer soon."

The reason why Yuan Mu is so confident is because there is good news from the laboratory department and the technical department, they not only found the clue that Zhao Jun appeared near the dry well, but also locked up another suspect.

Luo Li and Ji Si'an returned to the Huayuan community, and for the first time since Yang Ping's accident, the two had a relaxed dinner and went to bed early.

In the evening, when the technicians were busy working, Zhao Jun took the initiative to come to the criminal police team to surrender.

"This guy took the initiative to send it to the door, let's save some trouble." Li Muzi said with a smile.

The master lowered his eyes, "Go, follow me to meet him."

Zhao Jun, who was sitting in the interrogation room, was very calm, and when he saw them coming in, he politely got up to say hello.

"What did you turn yourself in?" The master kindly invited him to sit down.

Zhao Jun pushed his glasses and slowly told the secret that had been buried in his heart for many years. Yang Xiu was a few years younger than me, and he was assigned to work under me during his internship, and often followed me to visit, investigate, and write manuscripts, and in the eyes of others, I could be called half of his master. At one point, I thought so myself......

At this he smiled self-deprecatingly.

But since Yang Xiu started writing news about crime in the Luqiao area, he has been mysterious. When I asked him a few times, he avoided my questions and gave me the impression that he was deliberately avoiding me.

I'm older than him, I'm at a higher level than him, and he's the way he looks, if I look for him again and again, it's a bit of a catch-up. Our relationship faded like this.

Yang Xiu is a taciturn person, in today's words, his personality is a bit withdrawn, and he hardly interacts with anyone else in the newspaper except me. After estrangement from me, he didn't have any friends, and he was alone almost all day long.

About a few months before Yang Xiu's accident, he suddenly came to me and said that he was going to publish a book, and the book would definitely be a hit.

I know his level best, and I still have to revise the press release, write ...... It's a bit close.

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun commented with some disdain.

The master watched him quietly.

"Did he say he was going to write something?" Li Muzi asked.

"I asked him, and he didn't say. Like ...... As if I was afraid that I would rob him of his ideas. Zhao Jun's tone is still a little sour when he talks about it.

"You still got it in the end, didn't you?" The master stared at him and said suddenly.

Zhao Jun was stunned by his master's words, but he quickly calmed down.

"yes, I see. Maybe he felt that he was about to become famous, and that excitement and excitement had no one to share, so he invited me to drink and bragged to me about it. ”

"But I don't agree with him."

The master and Li Muzi listened intently, not surprised at his pause at all, as if they knew what Yang Xiu was doing.

Zhao Jun secretly glanced at them, and saw that they looked like they had known for a long time, and his heart was a little drumming.

His right hand unconsciously rubbed his pants and continued: "He...... When he reported on the illegal crime cases in Luqiao District, he accidentally found that the crime was gradually escalating, and he felt that this was a serial killer in the embryonic stage. ”

"I advised him to report the situation to the police. He disagreed, he thought...... Wait until that person becomes a real serial killer before exposing him. Then his story will go viral, and he wants to make a name for himself ...... it. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun stopped again. This time, Li Muzi was a little breathless and wanted to ask him, but was stopped by the master with a look.

Zhao Jun turned himself in, he must have done something illegal and criminal. What he's said so far has been foreshadowing. In the master's opinion, he said so many prefixes to justify what happened later. At this point, all they have to do is calmly find out from his large narratives what is useful, what is true, and what he has made up.

Zhao Jun saw that they still didn't mean to talk, and rubbed his legs unconsciously with his right hand again. "Later, I also started to pay attention to the crime situation in the Luqiao area, and I found that the cases were really escalating. I was a little scared of ......, I was afraid that something more vicious would happen. ”

"But when I looked for him several times, he wouldn't tell me who was behind it."

"I advised him that we should not waste other people's lives for the sake of being famous. But he still wouldn't listen to me. ”

Speaking of this, Zhao Jun covered his face with his hands and looked very painful.

'We'. The master wrote down these two words in a notebook. This is the first time he has used the word "we" since this passage.

At this time, Zhao Jun refused to raise his head as if he was in great pain.

The master said in a calm tone, "So you killed him." ”

Zhao Jun quickly raised his head after hearing his master's words, and said again and again with a shocked face: "No, no, I didn't kill him." ”

The master looked at him with a smile until he lowered his head, and then asked, "Then what did you turn yourself in?" ”

"I ...... I stalked him. After saying this, Zhao Jun explained again and again as if he was afraid that they would misunderstand: "I was worried that what he said would come true, so I followed his ......." ”

"So the thing you turned yourself in today is that you stalked him?" Li Muzi's anger was carried in his tone.

The master looked at Zhao Jun in front of him, this person was even more cunning, even now he was still testing them.

"On November 10, 2007, what did you do on the day Yang Xiu disappeared?" The master asked straight to the point.

"That day...... That night, I followed him to the dry well ...... in Xipozi Village, Luqiao District. Speaking of this, Zhao Jun's body shook uncontrollably, he grabbed his glasses, buried his head in his chest and sobbed for a long time.

The master placed a pack of tissues in front of him and waited quietly for him to calm down.

"Thank you......." After crying for a while, he picked up the tissue in front of him.

"I followed him that day to see what he was doing, but he accidentally found out. If...... I mean, if I hold on a little longer, he won't die ....... ”

"How do you know he's dead?" Li Muzi reacted quickly and quickly pointed out the problem in his words.

Zhao Jun was stunned by Li Muzi's question, and replied after a while: "It was Xiao Gao who came back from our unit to interview." ”

"What happened between you after he found you?" The master's expression was gentle and his tone was gentle, but it gave people a sense of oppression that everything was under his control.

Zhao Jun pushed his glasses again, avoiding his gaze with this action.
