Chapter 94: The Second Suspect
Tan Wan gave him a glass of warm water, and asked, "In addition, think about it, have you ever met other people or other things in the process?" β
Xie Mowen didn't respond immediately, holding the glass in both hands, looking at the water in the cup and thinking seriously for a while.
What he just said may be true, but what can be said by a suspect cannot be used as evidence.
In Xie Mowen's dictation, he was acting alone during the whole process.
The current situation is very unfavorable to him, Tan Wan watched from the sidelines, and his brows were furrowed and he pondered.
There were his fingerprints and shoe prints on the doors and windows of the scene, and if the second suspect could not be found, Xie Mowen would be recognized as the murderer of Dean Gao, and he would not be able to get out of his body for a while.
"Mr. Xie, think about it again." Tan Wan spoke softly and reminded, "Any little thing you see, even if it is insignificant, you can tell us, don't miss anything." β
Xie Mowen scratched the back of his head vigorously, a little desperate: "I really can't remember." β
Suddenly, Xie Mowen had a flash of inspiration in his head.
When a person is cornered, the brain can always remember something that has been forgotten.
Xie Mowen's eyes widened, and he shouted excitedly: "I... I remembered that I saw a man when I was about to enter the orphanage, and he was going out over the wall!! β
Originally, Li Dongliao was still taking notes with his head down, but after listening to Xie Mowen's words, he inadvertently raised his head.
"What kind of man is it?" Li Dongliao's words revealed a questioning tone.
He has seen a lot of such suspects, and they are generally telling lies.
In order to extend the criminal law for themselves, some will make up a 'suspect' that does not exist at all to waste the time of the criminal police.
"He looks like a middle-aged man, and he looks like he's wearing a dark red jacket." Xie Mowen replied truthfully.
Just a minute ago, Xie Mowen had just said that he didn't remember anything.
In the next second, he could even tell what the other party was wearing, and the more Li Dongliao looked at the person in front of him, the more suspicious he felt.
Li Dongliao thought for a moment and questioned again: "I said I didn't remember it just now, why did I suddenly remember it again?" β
Xie Mowen pretended to be naΓ―ve, and asked in a calm tone, "Isn't it good to remember and break the law, officer?" β
Li Dongliao was speechless: "Don't break the law...... You continue. β
Xie Mowen: "That man looks sneaky, I think he must have stolen something from the courtyard to look like that."
When I saw him, he was climbing over the iron fence. β
"Climb over the iron fence where?" Li Dongliao interrupted his words in time, "The fence east of the orphanage? β
Li Dongliao is a northerner, and he habitually uses the southeast and northwest to guide the way.
The eastern fence he was talking about was actually the fence on both sides of the orphanage's gate.
"No, uh, it's ......" Xie Mowen was a little confused, and raised his hand to gesture, "It's the side, the right." β
"He didn't see you?" Li Dongliao then asked.
"Probably not." Xie Mowen recalled it well, "When I saw him, he just climbed over the railing and turned his back to me, I think he didn't see me." β
"Why do you only think about such a big thing now?" Li Dongliao's voice was tinged with a hint of dissatisfaction, as if he was blaming Xie Mowen for why he didn't say it earlier.
"I was a little nervous when I first entered the interrogation room." Xie Mowen smiled awkwardly, "I also just remembered it." β
"What does that man look like?"
"I don't remember." Xie Mowen shook his head again.
"You can even see the color of your clothes, but you don't see what he looks like?"
"It wasn't dawn yet, and it was pitch black in the mountains to see clearly." Xie Mo was displeased, "At that time, that person flashed by, and I didn't know that there would be a murder, where would I look so carefully!" β
He didn't like Li Dongliao's way of questioning, he obviously told the truth, but Officer Li kept asking questions about the details, as if he was lying out of nothing.
Li Dongliao was silent for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Xie, do you have anything else that 'just came to mind', it's best to say it all at once." β
Xie Mowen turned his head away and said, "No, that's all." β
Out of the interrogation room, Tan Wan took Li Dongliao's notes and held them in the palm of his hand to look at them.
Li Dongliao crossed his hands on his hips and stood in the corridor with Tanwan in the evening.
He glanced around to make sure there was no one around, and then said, "How are you friends with such a person?" β
Tan Wan always lowered his head and flipped through the book, without looking up: "I said that I only know him and I am not familiar with him." β
Hearing Tan Wan's words, Li Dongliao snorted: "Come less, just now you inserted my words three times and twice, and reminded the surnamed Xie to think about it carefully."
I've been with you for so many years, and I've never seen you so patient with any suspect!
On the day of the incident, the surveillance of the orphanage was broken, but the surveillance footage of the first two days was well preserved.
Don't think that I don't know about you and Xie Mowen going to see the dean yesterday.
I see, you have a good relationship with that Mr. Xie~"
Li Dongliao was like a duck, quacking in the ears of the conversation night, and she couldn't calm down to read the transcript.
Tan Wan raised his hand, picked up the notebook and hit Li Dongliao's chest, the force of the blow was so great that he retreated step by step.
"I'll see that your cow is dead, right, what, Officer Li, you still want to pull me into the interrogation room for interrogation?"
"I don't, that's not what I mean!" Li Dongliao's expression was distorted by the beating, and he raised his hand to block the attack.
"I mean, you don't have to pretend to be unfamiliar with Xie Mo in front of me, and I won't talk nonsense, so it's too much!"
In the next second, Tan Wan threw the transcript back into Li Dongliao's hand: "My relationship with him is not as complicated as you think.
If you really want to talk about the relationship, then I am his creditor, and he owes me thousands of dollars and has not paid it back.
If he wasn't the murderer but was wrongly convicted, wouldn't no one pay me back? β
"Ah, because of that?" Li Dongliao held the notebook, and a trace of surprise flashed on his face.
"Well, it's not early, you go to the nightclub that Xie Mowen said to confirm the confession, and then ask Xiao He to retrieve the surveillance video on the roadside of the village to see if there is a man in red who matches what Xie Mowen said."
"Yes!!" Li Dongliao received the order, turned around and ran out.
Li Dongliao had just arrived outside the police station and was about to get into the car, when he was suddenly stopped by someone behind him.
He turned his head to see that Li Jue appeared in his line of sight.
"Hello consultant!" Li Dongliao saluted as usual, "Adviser Li told me something, I am in a hurry to go out to investigate the case." β
"Your director asked me to pay attention to the case of the Orphanage of Hearts." Li Jue asked, "Where are you talking about the team?" β
"Oh...... The team should be back in the office. Li Dongliao replied truthfully.
Li Jue nodded, thanked him softly, and went to the police station.
