At ten minutes noon, Yunzhou Police Station, interrogation room.
"My aunt's things?" When the interrogator asked this question, Zhang Shixiong was startled at first, then lowered his head in thought, and finally said, "My aunt's things should be at my parents' place, right
"When I moved... I probably got rid of some..."
"Then... what did your aunt leave behind?" the interrogator asked again.
"Oh, they are all old-age things, such as combs, cheongsams, and some photos and so on!" Zhang Shixiong replied, "My aunt worked for a foreign company and had a very high income. She also met some celebrities in Yunzhou and had sex with many big shots. Taking a group photo!
"Officer, I don't understand, what do you want to know?" Zhang Shixiong asked timidly, "Why are you so interested in my aunt again
"Also, how long are you going to detain me, and when can I leave? I still have to... go to work!"
"Zhang Shixiong, don't you still know your situation?" The interrogator placed Zhang Qile's photo in front of Zhang Shixiong and said seriously, "I ask you again, do you know this woman?"
"This..." Zhang Shixiong was startled for a moment, and after taking a serious look at the photo, he timidly replied, "I just look familiar to this woman, but do I really not know her?"
"You still say you don't know her, tsk tsk..." the interrogator shouted, "We have found certification proving that you not only know this woman, but also have an extraordinary relationship!
"One day seven years ago, someone saw you having an argument with Zhang Qile outside the Cultural Palace. You also said something like 'Who am I?' Do you not remember it?"
"What? The Cultural Palace... woman?" Zhang Shixiong looked at the photo again and said, "Is this the woman in the photo? Are you sure... it's me
"Why... I don't have any impression myself?"
In the monitoring room, Cui Lizhu couldn't hold it anymore. She pointed at Zhang Shixiong behind the single-sided glass and said: "His eyes are evasive, his eyelids are twitching, his hands are trembling, and his words are hesitant. These are all typical characteristics of lying!
"Zhang Shixiong must know Zhang Qile. He... He dare not admit it because he is afraid that we will know their relationship and identify him as the Red Bathtub Killer!"
"You're right, but..." Wu Xiumin shook her head and sighed, "It doesn't help the case! If Zhang Shixiong insists that he doesn't know Zhang Qile, then we can't make a determination based only on Ma Fei's memories seven years ago. !”
"Where are the two girls Zhang Qile lives with?" Cui Lizhu said eagerly, "Have you found them? Those two must know something, right?"
"I found it, I found it!" Captain Shao said regretfully, "Those two girls are now abroad. We just conducted a video interview, but the two girls claimed that they did not know Zhang Shixiong!
"Moreover, they don't have any impression of the neighbors who lived across the door..."
"No way? So unreliable?" Cui Lizhu was depressed, "Zhang Shixiong can be considered a handsome guy, don't you have an impression? Or are these women lying around day and night, so they are not allowed to be worshiped by the neighbors?"
"..." Wu Xiumin wiped her sweat and scolded, "Xiao Cui, can't you just say a few words?"
"Captain Shao," Miao Yingze ordered, "immediately send Zhang Shixiong's photo to everyone who knows Zhang Qile. See if anyone can recognize him?"
"Yes!" Captain Shao took the order.
"Sister Wu," Miao Ying said to Wu Xiumin again, "Go and go through the formalities and let him go! Xiao Cui," she pointed at Cui Lizhu, "go and keep an eye on him!"
"Yes!" they both answered together.
"Team Leader Miao, Team Leader Miao," at this time, the door to the listening room was pushed open, and Ran Tao's voice came from outside, "The search of Zhang Shixiong's parents' house has been completed, and nothing directly related to the case has been found. The forensics department has extracted some hair and has already done it for identification!
"Also," he pointed in another direction and said, "Zhang Shixiong's parents have been invited and are in the inquiry room, um..."
Miao Ying glanced around and found that everyone was busy, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask in person!"
A few minutes later, Miao Ying came to the inquiry room and met Zhang Shixiong's parents.
The two old men were obviously very worried. As soon as they met, they asked anxiously, what happened to Zhang Shixiong? Does it matter
Seeing the anxious look of the second elder, Miao Ying had no choice but to give a formulaic explanation, saying that the police were just looking for him to investigate the case.
Zhang Shixiong's parents seemed relatively honest. They kept their heads lowered and their faces full of worry, but they did not dare to talk nonsense.
"Don't worry!" Miao Ying advised, "We just want to know the situation, please..." The first thing was naturally the victim, so Miao Ying took out Zhang Qile's photo and asked, "Have you seen this woman?" ?"
When the two elders heard this, they quickly took the photo and identified it carefully. Zhang Shixiong's old father even put on reading glasses specially.
"No... I don't know..." After identifying him, the two shook their heads together, saying that they had never seen him before.
"So..." Miao Ying asked again, "Is there anything unusual about your son these days?"
"Abnormal?" Zhang's mother said quickly after hearing this, "Yes, yes, he is in love, and he has been in a bad mood these days! Last month, he drank too much in a restaurant, and we carried him home. Woolen cloth!
"Shixiong is too introverted and not good at expressing himself. He really cares about his girlfriend, but it's a pity that others still look down on him..."
"Drink too much?" Miao Ying asked quickly, "Who did you drink with?"
"It's just him," Zhang's father said, "Shixiong doesn't have many friends, and he doesn't drink much. He was really sad that day! Alas..."
"However, he has gotten much better these days!" Zhang's mother added, "It feels like he has recovered from his breakup..."
"Hmm... Okay..." Miao Ying took notes from her notebook, then moved on to the next topic and asked, "You two, I would like to ask, do you know about the red bathtub murder case in Yunzhou 40 years ago?"
"Ah? The red bathtub," the two elders looked at each other, and Zhang's father nodded first and said, "It is a household name. For our generation, it is a household name. How could we not know it?"
"Yes, yes," Mother Zhang said, "We also know that the murderer is a foreigner and a famous architect! He designed many buildings..."
"Yes, yes," Father Zhang said again, "For our family, it is more understandable, because my sister and the foreigner are in the same company!"
Whoa…
There was a sudden silence inside and outside the inquiry room.
Father Zhang's words seemed nothing special, but to the ears of Miao Ying and others, they were simply - creepy! ! !
"You said..." Miao Ying suppressed her inner impulse and repeated, "Your sister, Zhang Shixiong's aunt, and the murderer Peter are from the same company? Do they... know each other?"
