Chapter 18: The Old Policeman's 'Face'
When a case involves an expatriate, the nature of the case changes, and the slightest transgression can have unpredictable and serious consequences.
In case something really goes wrong, Yang Zhengqi may be able to get out smoothly with his deep background, but his pawn is destined to be a scapegoat, thinking of this, Long Guangsheng hurriedly said: "It's not Team Yang, how can this kind of thing be kept secret."
If you really want to determine Zhang Lisheng's identity as a criminal suspect, his place of origin is to be included in the case file...
Hey, hey, Yang Brigade, Yang Brigade..."Unfortunately, the only thing that answered him was the blind voice of 'Du Du Du..."
Hanging up the phone, Yang Zhengqi frowned, and took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket with a gloomy face.
took out one and sniffed it, he held it to his mouth, and while thinking, he walked along the stone mountain road between the villages to the entrance of the village of Ouwo Village.
The driver who was waiting at the entrance of the village saw Yang Zhengqi strolling over, and asked from a distance: "Brigade, do you want to go back to the city?"
"Xiao Liu, lend me a fire first. Yang Zhengqi walked to the driver's side and said.
The driver smiled and said, "Didn't you say quit, why did you smoke it again." He took out a lighter and lit a cigarette for Yang Zhengqi.
"I was a little depressed.
By the way, Xiao Liu, what do you think of the case in Ouwo Village?"
"What do I think, don't joke about the brigade, I know what an assistant police officer who drives," the driver said with a smile: "What you insist on me saying is nothing more than the words on the side of the road, 'based on facts, with the law as the criterion'." ”
Yang Zhengqi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, "Okay, let's go back to the team." He said that he hurriedly opened the car door and got into his special car.
The police car started to drive to the county seat of He County, and on the way, Yang Zhengqi urged the driver to drive the car faster from time to time, so that in less than an hour, he returned to the He County Criminal Police Brigade.
"Excuse me, Xiao Liu. With a polite remark as usual, Yang Zhengqi got out of the police car and went straight to the duty room.
In the duty room, a black and thin police officer was sitting, guarding the phone and a record of entry and exit, and when he saw the captain come in, he immediately got up from his chair and said, "Brigade Yang, you are back, do you have any instructions?"
"Helecha, which interrogation room is empty. ”
"There was no one in the first and third interrogation rooms. The officer on duty replied immediately.
"Okay, tell Li Hao to bring the witnesses of the Yuwo Village case to the first interrogation room, and tell him to hurry up, just say that I am already waiting there. Yang Zhengqi commanded.
In criminal cases, interrogation and questioning are two distinct legal concepts.
Interrogations, however, are directed at suspects and must be conducted in special interrogation rooms.
Questioning, directed at witnesses to the case and possible insiders, can be conducted anytime and anywhere, as long as they are not in the interrogation room.
However, the police officer on duty obviously did not question his immediate boss about the courage to bring witnesses to the interrogation room to the interrogation room, and he said: "Yes." He grabbed the intercom on the table.
Three minutes later, Zhang Lisheng, who had just finished a hearty lunch, was taken by Li Hao to a dimly lit room.
At the top of the room was a long, purpose-made desk, and three wooden chairs, with an iron chair fixed to the ground in the middle and a baffle between the two armrests.
Although Zhang Lisheng had never entered the interrogation room, he still naturally knew where he should sit.
He didn't embarrass Li Hao, so he automatically walked to the iron chair, sat in, and put down the baffle.
What is ironic is that because he is too thin, in fact, the baffle cannot stop Zhang Li Sheng from moving freely.
Looking at the thin suspect, Yang Zhengqi didn't have any feeling of wanting to laugh, he turned on a strong lamp in front of him, slammed it on Zhang Lisheng's face, and asked sharply, "Your name?"
"The big name is Zhang Lisheng, the little name..."
"Gender?"
"Male. ”
"Origin?"
"I am a native of Yuwo Village, Damu Town, He County, Hengze City, Western Sichuan Province. ”
"From 23 p.m. on October 27, 2013 to 2 a.m. the next day, what are you doing there?"
"I was at home..."
Weakening the suspect's will with a dull tactic of bright light and repeated questioning is a very old-fashioned method, but it is very effective.
It's a pity that for Zhang Lisheng, who has become a beginner and is about to break through, such a simple willpower torture is already difficult to work.
Twenty hours later, the long interrogation and the poisoning of four full boxes of cigarettes made Yang Zhengqi's voice hoarse and drowsy, while his opponent was still calm when he first arrived.
accompanied Yang Zhengqi to act, pretending to write an interrogation record, but in fact, it was a young man who had just graduated from the police academy who asked the record, and he took advantage of the opportunity to ask another round of questions, Yang Zhengqi lit a cigarette again, and reminded in a tired whisper: "Team Yang, I now believe that this kid definitely has a problem, even a few veterans who have entered the palace are not as wear-resistant as him."
But now the twenty-four hours are about to pass, if you want to detain him again, you have to go through the formal procedures, we are a county where ethnic minorities gather, he is from Miaowei, and the case is so big, if the procedures are illegal..."
"How long until twenty-four?"
"Forty minutes. ”
Yang Zhengqi thought for a while and said, "You hold on a little longer, notify Dong Lin to come in and ask, I'll go out to do something." ”
When he stood up, his sore feet made him stumble and almost fall, and he stomped his feet hard, and Yang Zhengqi walked out of the first interrogation room.
The sunlight outside the house was a little dazzling, and he put his hand on the awning and paced back and forth in the corridor, thinking about what to do with Zhang Lisheng.
Reason told him that it would be difficult to convict Zhang Lisheng unless he obtained a very detailed confession and found some circumstantial evidence to form a chain of evidence based on those confessions.
Moreover, Zhang Lisheng's thin image, the cause of the burglary case just after losing his father, the age of just turning 16 years old, and the identity of a Chinese-American will turn this 'difficult' into 'impossible'.
But the concept of 'law is justice' that he has always adhered to in his heart makes it difficult for him to let go of a murder suspect.
Especially the longer the contact, the more Yang Zhengqi felt that this suspect hid a brutal and insensitive heart under his weak and introverted appearance.
And it is precisely because of his youth that this crime is even more terrible for a reason, if the suspect is freed without any trial or punishment, he is likely to become a bomb that can wander in society for a long time, and the longer he is suppressed, once he encounters the trigger, the more terrible the consequences of the explosion.
The dilemma made Yang Zhengqi frown, and subconsciously took out another cigarette.
"What's the matter?" A hearty voice interrupted Yang Zhengqi's train of thought, and at the same time, the cigarette from his mouth was snatched away.
Yang Zhengqi came back to his senses, only to find that an old man with gray hair and high spirits was standing in front of him, cutting off his cigarette, and hurriedly asked hoarsely: "Why are you here?"
"Why, I'm in charge of criminal investigation, and I can't come to the criminal police brigade just because I retire in March next year?" said the old man with a smile.
"Then how can you be welcome to guide the work at any time. Yang Zhengqi said with a reluctant smile.
The old man Miao Wei, who only has a junior high school education, took over as a criminal policeman at the age of 16, and can solve cases and become the deputy director of the She County Public Security Bureau, is one of the few people he really admires in the public security system in western Sichuan.
Otherwise, with his background, there is no need to laugh at a deputy director of the county-level public security bureau who is about to retire.
"You are a great intellectual, and you don't dare to be a guide.
I'm here to ask, is the case of the Bird's Nest Village good to handle?" the old man smiled and waved his hand.
"It's not easy. Yang Zhengqi replied truthfully.
"Then how sure are you that the people in your hands are criminals?"
"Guangsheng reported to you?" Yang Zhengqi asked with a frown.
"Don't say anything else, how sure are you that the people in your hands are criminals?"
"More than 90 percent. ”
The old man pondered for a moment, lowered his voice and said, "Isn't it just a Chinese-American, the American devils all let my father run away back then, if I help you withstand the pressure, how sure are you that he will be sent to prison?"
Yang Zhengqi was silent.
"There's always one or two, right?"
"To be honest, I don't have 1% of the certainty.
And I'm afraid you can't withstand this pressure. Yang Zhengqi said with a wry smile.
The old man was stunned for a moment, sighed, and said without hesitation: "Then release the person, release it immediately, release it immediately, I order you to release it." ”
"Heju, why are you doing this, I don't have to..."He was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the old man was exonerating him and taking the decision to release Zhang Lisheng on himself, Yang Zhengqi frowned and said.
"You use.
You're still young, I'm going to be able to jump around right away, what's the use of having a good reputation.
You are a highly educated foreign student, but I still want to teach you today to be a good man, do our business, you must be serious in doing things, but your brain can't be rigid, you really can't catch the criminal's painful feet, and you must not be brutal.
It's like the person you arrested, let him go this time, keep an eye on it, and next time he really commits another crime, he will grab his wrist and send him to eat old rice.
When the time comes, it will be considered round, and my old foolish face will be grinning. ”
Looking at the old man's finger pointing at his wind-blown and wrinkled face like old bark, Yang Zhengqi was silent, suppressing his feelings.
Suddenly, the arrogant and well-established criminal police captain stood solemnly, saluted, then turned around and strode into the interrogation room, and shouted with all his might: "Release people." ”
Zhang Lisheng was released inexplicably.
Walking out of the criminal police brigade, he felt in his pocket and found that he didn't have a penny on him, so he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and he didn't know how to walk in the county, the most prosperous Fuqian Road.
It may take a day and a night to walk back to Yuwo Village from the county seat on his legs, of course Zhang Lisheng will not do this, and it is not realistic to ask those criminal police to send him back to Yuwo Village.
