The next day, He Jiahui came to Brother Qiang's food stall again.

Seeing the arrival of the police, Brother Qiang immediately came out and greeted: "Sir, it's so early, I haven't come out of the stall yet, and I won't have to wait until noon to eat chaos noodles." ”

"Brother Qiang, we don't eat, we still have a few questions I want to know." He Jiahui said.

"Sir, then sit casually?" Brother Qiang pulled a chair.

After a few people sat down, He Jiahui asked; "Brother Qiang, you said before that you were in the hospital emergency room with director Xue Zhaohui in the early hours of yesterday morning, did he leave your line of sight during this period?"

"Does going to the toilet count?" Brother Qiang continued; "We have food poisoning, we will definitely go to the toilet, he goes to the toilet, I can't follow him!"

"And how many times did he go to the toilet? How long does it take to go to the toilet? He Jiahui continued to ask.

Brother Qiang shook his head: "I was sleeping in a daze, how can I remember!" Anyway, when I feel it, I go to the toilet. As for how long it will take, I'll come out when I'm done. Ah sir, you can't time it when you have a tuba!

"Sleepy? Are you asleep in a hospital emergency room? He Jiahui asked immediately.

"I was busy all day during the day, and by the evening I was already tired, and I had food poisoning, vomiting and diarrhea, and my body was already weak, lying on a chair in the emergency room, and I fell asleep unconsciously." Brother Qiang said.

He Jiahui frowned slightly, and then asked, "You are asleep, how do you know that Director Xue has been with you all along?" ”

"We went to the hospital together, so how could we run around to see the doctor. And I woke up twice in the middle and found him next to me. Brother Qiang replied.

"Brother Qiang, what time did you wake up, do you still have an impression?" He Jiahui asked again.

"I don't know, I was so tired that I opened my eyes and looked around, and then fell asleep again." Brother Qiang replied.

He Jiahui nodded slightly: "It seems that director Xue Chaohui's alibi is still doubtful." We have to go to the hospital and get the emergency room surveillance. ”

……

The hospital on Cheung Chau Island was originally a church hospital, built in 1934 with relatively outdated infrastructure.

Fortunately, in a place like the emergency room of the hospital, there is no shortage of monitoring, and medical disputes often have to pay a large amount of money, and the hospital will not save money for monitoring in order to protect its own interests.

In the monitoring room of the hospital's security department, the security guard called up the day's monitoring records, and then turned on the double-speed playback.

The time on the screen shows that Brother Qiang and director Xue Chaohui came to the hospital at 12:20, and then the two waited in the emergency room.

In the next hour or so, both of them went out, and each time they went out, it was more than ten minutes, and they should have gone to the toilet.

When it was almost two o'clock, Brother Qiang leaned back in the chair in the emergency room, drowsy.

At 2:15, Xue Chaohui got up and looked at Brother Qiang, and found that Brother Qiang had fallen asleep, so he left the emergency room again.

Next, it wasn't until 3:20 that Xue Chaohui returned to the emergency room, then returned to the position next to Brother Qiang, and also leaned back in the chair and fell asleep.

After four o'clock, the two went to the toilet again, and they came back in ten minutes. During this period, the director also bought drinks from the vending machine for Brother Qiang.

At five o'clock, it was finally the turn of the two to see a doctor. After that, the two took the medicine and went back to the chairs in the emergency room to rest.

After watching the surveillance video, He Jiahui spoke; "From 2:15 a.m. to 3:20 a.m., a full hour and five minutes, it shouldn't take that long to go to the bathroom.

Zhang Shaoyu's confession said that it should be true that he saw director Xue Zhaohui on the road. And Xue Chaohui deliberately concealed this from the police when he recorded his confession last time, and it seems that he really has a problem.

Now that Xue Chaohui's alibi is no longer established, plus he has the time and motive to commit the crime, he can ask Xue Zhaohui to go back to the police station for questioning. ”

……

Director Xue Chaohui was taken to the interrogation room of the police station again.

This time, Xue Chaohui looked a little excited, and he said loudly; "Ah sir, I already recorded a confession yesterday, and I said everything I should have said, why did you call me over again today!"

Based on He Jiahui's experience in handling cases, the louder the suspect screams, the more he is actually using this method to cover up his weakness. Xue Chaohui's performance made He Jiahui 100% sure that there must be something wrong with him.

Moreover, this kind of suspect with relatively intense performance often has a relatively poor psychological quality, and it is relatively easy to make a breakthrough.

On the contrary, the kind of suspect who is moody and temperamental, will have a better psychological quality and is not easy to deal with.

So He Jiahui decided to cut straight to the point, he said: "Mr. Xue, the last time you recorded a confession, you said that you stayed in the emergency room of the hospital until dawn and did not leave.

But we found a new eyewitness, and according to the eyewitness account, he saw you on the street at about two o'clock in the morning. What do you explain about this? ”

"Who saw it!" Xue Chaohui asked rhetorically.

"I can't tell you this, we want to protect the privacy of witnesses." He Jiahui replied coldly.

"He must have been wrong, and I was in the hospital all night. Brother Qiang, who runs a food stall, can prove it for me! Xue Zhaohui said.

"We also asked Brother Qiang, he fell asleep in the hospital emergency room at the time, so it doesn't prove that you were there all night." He Jiahui said.

"Then he can't prove that I left the hospital!" Xue Chaohui quibbled.

"So we went to the hospital to get the emergency room surveillance, and found that you left the hospital at 2:05 a.m. and didn't come back until 3:10 a.m."

He Jiahui said, staring at Xue Chaohui with a serious face: "Mr. Xue, it shouldn't take so long to go to the toilet!" ”

"Which law says you can't go to the toilet for an hour?" Xue Zhaohui is still quibbling.

He Jiahui said; "The law doesn't specify when to go to the bathroom, but surveillance video shows that you left the hospital emergency room between 2 and 3 a.m., and there happened to be witnesses who saw you on the road at the same time, which at least proves that the testimony of witnesses is well-founded."

Xue Chaohui knew that he couldn't use the reason to go to the toilet anymore, so he immediately changed his statement: "It's too stuffy in the hospital, I'll go out for a walk, it's not illegal!" ”

"It's not illegal to take a walk, but murder is punishable by life in prison." He Jiahui smiled coldly, and then said:

"According to our police investigation, the murderer of the deceased Zheng Jiazhen should be an acquaintance she knew, and the time of the murderer's crime happened to be the time when Mr. Xue left the hospital for a walk, we have reason to suspect that you killed Zheng Jiazhen!"

"I'm not a murderer, I have no grievances with Zheng Jiazhen, how could I kill him!" Xue Chaohui continued to argue.

"No grievances?" He Jiahui said in a stern tone and asked directly; "We found out that you attempted to sexually harass the deceased and had a conflict with the deceased as a result. You think that the deceased has made you very shameless in public, so you have a grudge and kill the deceased! ”

"No, I didn't kill her!" Xue Chaohui already looked a little flustered, and he hurriedly defended; "I admit that I had thoughts about Zheng Jiazhen, but I was also drunk at the time, but I was drunk and disorderly, and I apologized afterwards, and Zheng Jiazhen forgave me!

In our industry, it is also common for directors to have some relationships with models, and many models will take the initiative to send them to the door in order to get more resources! I don't lack women, and I can't kill people for a little skirmish! ”

"If you didn't kill anyone, then where did you go yesterday between two and three o'clock in the morning?" He Jiahui immediately asked.

"I ......" Xue Chaohui looked like he wanted to say something.

He Jiahui continued: "Mr. Xue, if you can't present a valid alibi, then in terms of the current evidence, you are the most suspicious person. ”

"Okay, I say!" Xue Zhaohui sighed helplessly, and continued; "At two o'clock in the morning, I secretly left the hospital while Brother Qiang was asleep, in fact, to go to Brother Qiang's food stall to steal money.

That day, I sat in Brother Qiang's food stall all night, and I also helped Brother Qiang collect the stall at night, when I saw Brother Qiang counting money, there was almost 20,000 yuan of running water, I was a little moved.

I owe a loan shark outside, and I have to pay it back next week, so I plan to find an opportunity to take the 20,000 yuan, so I pretended to have a stomachache and asked Brother Qiang to take me to the hospital.

Brother Qiang thought that I had eaten a bad stomach in his food stall and was afraid of being responsible, so he took me to the hospital. Before leaving, I saw Brother Qiang lock the money in the drawer of the food stall.

Who knew that after arriving at the hospital, Brother Qiang really had food poisoning and began to vomit and diarrhea, and he was also tired all day, and soon fell asleep in a chair in the emergency room.

I saw the opportunity to leave the emergency room of the hospital, ran to Brother Qiang's food stall, picked the lock, and then took the money inside, and then returned to the hospital, waiting until dawn to see a doctor with Brother Qiang.

But what I didn't expect was that Zheng Jiazhen was killed! And you, the police, asked me for an alibi for that night. I can't explain the theft, so I can only say that I stayed in the hospital with Brother Qiang all night. ”

"It turns out that Brother Qiang's money was stolen by you!" He Jiahui nodded suddenly, so that Brother Qiang's money was stolen, and a reasonable explanation could be obtained.

Previously, He Jiahui also felt that it was too much of a coincidence that the money that Brother Qiang put in the food stall drawer was stolen.

Brother Qiang's food stall has never been burglarized, and he will also take the money home when the stall closes every day, but yesterday he locked the money in a drawer, but it was stolen by the thief.

If the perpetrator is Xue Chaohui, then this theft case makes sense, after all, he saw Brother Qiang lock the money in the drawer with his own eyes, and he is the most likely to commit the crime.

"Mr. Xue Chaohui, is the stolen money you stole from Brother Qiang still with you?" He Jiahui asked.

"The money is still there, and there is nothing to spend on the island, so the 20,000 yuan is in my bag." Xue Chaohui said that he asked for his bag and took out nearly 20,000 yuan of stolen money from it.

The stolen money has been taken out, and it seems that what Xue Chaohui said should be true.

If it weren't for being suspected of being the murderer of Zheng Jiazhen, Xue Chaohui probably wouldn't have confessed to stealing money.

The amount stolen is less than 30,000 yuan, and the guilty plea attitude is good, and then find a good lawyer, the sentence will not be very heavy.

But murder is punishable by life imprisonment, and Xue Zhaohui didn't want to stay in prison for the rest of his life, so he confessed to stealing.

He Jiahui silently calculated in his heart, from the hospital to Brother Qiang's big partner, stealing money and then returning to the hospital, it would take almost fifty minutes. In this case, Xue Chaohui would not have time to go back to the homestay and kill Zheng Jiazhen.

In other words, Xue Zhaohui once again has an alibi.

"Although the theft case of Brother Qiang's food stall has been solved, the murder of Zheng Jiazhen has lost its direction again!" He Jiahui sighed helplessly.

Then He Jiahui said: "Mr. Xue Zhaohui, although there is an alibi that can prove that you are not the murderer of Zheng Jiazhen, but you stole Brother Qiang's money, and the evidence is conclusive."

So we're going to arrest you now, and you can keep silent, but what you say will be evidence in court. We can help you contact your family if needed, and you also have the right to contact a lawyer. ”

Knowing that he was arrested, Xue Zhaohui immediately asked, "Sir, how long does the crime of theft usually take?" ”

"Depending on the amount, the sentencing is also different, depending on how the judge sentences it, and it also depends on whether your lawyer is strong." He Jiahui replied.

"Will you go to jail?" Xue Chaohui asked again.

He Jiahui nodded: "There is a high probability that he will be imprisoned, but it is subject to the judge's final judgment." ”

Hearing that he was going to prison, Xue Chaohui was completely panicked, he looked left and right nervously, and then spoke; "Ah sir, I don't want to go to prison, if I provide clues to help you solve the case, then can you help me plead with the judge and don't send me to prison?"

"What clues?" He Jiahui immediately asked.

"It's about Zheng Jiazhen, I know who killed her!" After Xue Zhaohui finished speaking, he looked at He Jiahui expectantly.

There is a term called meritorious service, and there are also clear laws in China in this regard, which states that if a prisoner makes meritorious service for a crime, he may be given a commutation of his sentence as appropriate.

In the Anglo-American legal system, the judicial system can be negotiated and traded, and the operability in this regard is much greater.

For example, in American film and television dramas, there are often prosecutors who promise the prisoner that as long as the prisoner is willing to admit guilt, he can reduce the sentence by many years, if you don't admit guilt, then charge you with a few more crimes, and once the lawsuit is finally lost, you will have to go to prison for several more years.

There are also scenes in Hong Kong dramas such as "pleading with the judge", "pleading with the Department of Justice", and "turning into a tainted witness".

Many tainted witnesses have obviously broken the law, but the police will not only give them protection, but even after the case is over, they will also give them a new identity to help them emigrate abroad.

The Anglo-American judicial system is like this, it can negotiate, it can trade, it can reduce the sentence of the prisoner in order to save the time and cost of litigation, and it can also let the small bad guy go in order to eradicate the big bad.

The case of Zheng Jiazhen's murder is a murder case, and the case of Xue Chaohui stealing money is just a theft case, which is more important and which is less at a glance!

If the clues provided by Xue Zhaohui can catch the real murderer who killed Zheng Jiazhen, in exchange for a light sentence for Xue Chaohui's theft, it will definitely be cost-effective, and it is possible not to even prosecute.

Thinking of this, He Jiahui nodded: "Okay, I promise you, if the clues you provide are useful, I will write a report to help you intercede with the Department of Justice!" ”
