"Yes, a standard otaku with lumps and lumps. I don't know what I fell in love with in him in the first place?" In the interrogation room, Zhang Shixiong's ex-girlfriend continued to talk about her thoughts on Zhang Shixiong in a philistine way, "I thought, His parents are both educators, from a scholarly family, even if he has a bit of a literary temperament, right
"But he just loves to play games and can forget everything while playing. How can I continue to associate with such a person?"
"Zhang Shixiong... um..." the police officer in charge asked cautiously, "Has he ever talked to you about the red bathtub case?"
"Ah? Red bathtub? Qi Guo Gami Ran (messy)," the woman said, speaking a Cantonese dialect, "You caught him, couldn't you... couldn't you have suspected that he was a murderer
"Mo Hou Nan (impossible)! It's impossible," the woman waved her hands and said, "Although Zhang Shixiong works in the hospital, it is absolutely impossible for you to say that he kills people!
"He is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He doesn't even dare to watch the fun, let alone kill people..."
"Sister," the police officer also said in Cantonese, "that's not the question I'm asking you. Please recall carefully, has Zhang Shixiong ever talked to you about the red bathtub?"
"Red Bathtub... we... um..." She rubbed her temples hard and thought hard for a moment before saying uncertainly, "We watched a TV show together, and we talked about it... but... it doesn't seem to be anything special, right?"
"If you think about it again..." the interrogator reminded, "What did he say to you at that time?"
"The killer is a foreigner. This case is well-known in our Yunzhou, but we were not even born at that time..." The woman said indifferently, "Zhang Shixiong really liked watching it. I remember, I seemed to be in In one of his notebooks or on his computer, he saw an old photo of a red bathtub...
"But...that's all...really, there's really nothing special..."
"Old photos?" the interrogator wondered, "Why are the old photos in the notebook?"
"Oh, that's right!" The woman recalled again, "That's... on the computer!"
"Which computer is it on?" the interrogator asked.
"Have you thrown it away a long time ago?" the woman said, "Zhang Shixiong is very stingy with me, but he is very generous when it comes to computers. I often scold him. I am just his little girlfriend, and the computer is his big girlfriend..."
Upon hearing the news, Miao Ying and Cui Lizhu in the monitoring room looked at each other. Cui Lizhu quickly picked up her phone and took notes, making sure to check Zhang Shixiong's computer later.
"Then..." the interrogator asked again, "How much do you know about Zhang Shixiong's family and work? Tell us briefly!"
"Oh... ok, ok, I have to say that his parents are very good people, honest and kind... After we broke up, they even came to me and begged me to get back together with Zhang Shixiong... "
In this way, the woman continued to tell everything she knew. Miao Ying and Cui Lizhu paused for a while. They felt that the amount of information was not very large, and they walked out of the listening room.
"Sister Miao, the time is almost up," Cui Lizhu looked at her watch and said, "If we only have this little evidence, we have to let him go!"
"I know," Miao Ying said, "It doesn't matter, let's go according to the procedure first! Although he is released, you must keep an eye on him at all times, Xiao Cui... you should be responsible for this matter!
"If Zhang Shixiong is really the murderer, then this person has a very serious mind and is difficult to deal with!"
"I understand, don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on him! But..." Cui Lizhu said worriedly, "Sister Miao, have you ever thought about it, what if Zhang Shixiong is not the Red Bathtub Killer, that would be a big deal Something is wrong!
"In that case, a new red bathtub case is likely to happen, so... "
"Tsk tsk..." Miao Ying was not worried about this, and she was beginning to be unsure about paying attention.
After so many years of handling cases and experiencing so many ups and downs, in the past, after locking in a suspect, I could basically tell whether the suspect was really a criminal!
However, Zhang Shixiong's reaction always left them uncertain.
Although Zhang Shixiong seemed to be related to Zhang Qile's murder and the red bathtub case, after such a long investigation, no substantive evidence was found!
What on earth is going on
Could it be that... the murderer really wasn't him
At this time, the two were planning to return to the office, but while walking, Miao Ying pulled Cui Lizhu to the other side of the corridor.
Cui Lizhu wanted to ask, but then she thought about it and felt relieved.
On the other side of the corridor is a regular interrogation room. There is a person detained in the interrogation room, it is Zhang Shixiong!
Miao and Ying knocked on the door, and a police officer immediately opened the door and welcomed them in.
At this time, Wu Xiumin, who had been fighting for a long time, was also in the listening room. After seeing Miao Ying and Cui Lizhu, Wu Xiumin also shook her head and sighed:
"This Zhang Shixiong is really difficult to guess," Wu Xiumin said, pointing to the freeze-frame on the screen, "Judging from some of the subtle movements, Zhang Shixiong is extremely nervous and must be trying his best to hide something!
"However, his answer was watertight and without any flaws..." Wu Xiumin said regretfully, "If we don't have evidence, we have no choice but to let him go at 12 noon!"
"Hmm..." Miao Ying didn't say much, but came to the single-sided glass and carefully observed Zhang Shixiong in the interrogation room.
At this moment, Zhang Shixiong was extremely exhausted and was resting on the table. I don’t know if he was pretending or if he really fell asleep. He remained motionless...
"Later," Wu Xiumin continued, "I will do a complete data analysis based on Zhang Shixiong's confession to see if this person is lying!"
"I think so," Cui Lizhu said thoughtfully, "If Zhang Shixiong is really the murderer, then... where is the murder weapon? Where are the sacrificial supplies? Where are Zhang Qile's belongings
"After the murder, should he be dealt with? So," Cui Lizhu said, "we continue to use surveillance to keep an eye on him and see where he went after that
“If we could find those things, wouldn’t that solve the problem?”
"Brother Tao is doing it, but..." Miao Ying shook her head and said, "Zhang Shixiong drives an ambulance. Those things can be disposed of without him noticing after work or even during working hours. It is too difficult to find them. Got it!
"Besides, we are still not sure whether Zhang Shixiong is the murderer..."
"No matter how difficult it is, we still have to investigate!" Cui Lizhu said, "The boss said, even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, we must fight for it!
"He may not show up one day. We can't be underestimated by him! We can't. Without him, we can't solve the case, right?"
"Yes!" Miao Ying nodded and said, "I asked Brother Tao to send more manpower to follow up the investigation!
"Also, I will apply for a search warrant later. Let's search Zhang Shixiong's parents' house as well! And his work unit..."
"Okay!" Cui Lizhu said, "After Zhang Shixiong is released, I will be responsible for keeping an eye on him!"
Beep beep... beep beep...
At the critical moment, the phone rings.
Miao Ying opened it and saw that it was Zeng Ke who had called her.
"Hey, Team Leader Miao," Zeng Ke's excited voice came from the phone after answering, "A miracle happened! Do you remember Zhang Qile's ex-boyfriend Ma Fei?"
"Oh? What's wrong?" Miao Ying was surprised and didn't know why Zeng Ke mentioned this person.
“We just sent him a photo of Zhang Shixiong,” Zeng Ke said. “Ma Biao said that he met Zhang Shixiong 7 years ago!
"Moreover, Zhang Shixiong and Zhang Qile seemed to be arguing about something together at that time. Therefore, Zhang Shixiong and Zhang Qile probably knew each other!"
