At four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Xiaodong was sitting in the interrogation room. The interrogator of the third criminal police team asked him: "Xu Xiaodong, how did you know the deceased?"
"How did she die? It was fine last night. You didn't let me know anything, how can I answer your questions?" Xu Xiaodong was completely confused, only vaguely aware that Li Mengran was killed.
The interrogator knocked on the table and said, "You are a policeman and you should know the interrogation process. We cannot tell you the details of the case. Now you are the person under trial. Tell us what you know."
"I didn't kill anyone!"
"It is up to us to judge whether to kill or not."
"I really didn't kill anyone! You take out the polygraph, and I will prove it to you!"
"answer the questions!"
Xu Xiaodong glanced at the single-sided mirror helplessly. Li Mengran's death made him very heartbroken, but he had to sit here to clarify his suspicions. He said: "The last time I was an undercover agent in the fraud gang case, I pretended to be an examinee. I met Li Mengran."
"What scam group?"
"You go to the police to check, or ask Brother Chen."
"It's you who asks now!"
"You don't want me to be a prisoner!?"
"Say it!"
Xu Xiaodong gritted his teeth and had to tell the original case of the last time. The interrogator asked: "Are you dating the deceased?"
"No, I have a girlfriend and I'm a policeman. How can I do this kind of thing? Yesterday she said that she was beaten by her father and ran away from home. I just got off work, so I drove to her and said something to persuade her. , I sent her home at ten o'clock."
"The monitoring of the deceased's community did not capture the footage of you walking back at ten o'clock." The interrogator said that in fact, the community monitoring system was upgraded and nothing was captured yesterday.
"You can check the video of the parking lot. I will take Li Mengran home at about ten o'clock and go to pick up the car."
The interrogator picked up a confession record sheet and said: "However, the family of the deceased said that after the deceased left home in the afternoon, he has not returned."
"I saw her go upstairs with my own eyes! At ten o'clock in the evening, I swear!"
"Okay, no need for you to swear. Have you ever had physical contact with the deceased?"
"What do you mean!?" Xu Xiaodong was a little annoyed.
The interrogator took out a test report, "A piece of hair belonging to you was found in the deceased's hair, how do you explain it?"
"I remember. It was too cold yesterday. I took off my coat and put it on her. It may have been stained at that time."
"Well, this barely makes sense!"
"What makes sense, this is a fact, do you suspect that I am making up a story!?" Xu Xiaodong roared.
"You calm down, isn't it still the investigation stage?"
Lin Dongxue and Chen Shi came to the bureau and saw Xiao Li walking up and down the corridor. They seemed very anxious. Lin Dongxue comforted her and said, "We have known Xiaodong for a long time. He is not that kind of person."
Xiao Li said: "I'm not angry with him, I just... Why is it so good, he suddenly became a suspect? And the third team is still interrogating him, and their tone of voice is completely treating him as a criminal."
Lin Qiupu came out of the identification room and said, "No way, Xiaodong is ours. We have to avoid suspicion. I believe he will not kill."
Chen Shi hooked his finger, "Come here."
"Who are you talking to?"
Chen Shi took Lin Qiupu to a place where no one was there, and said: "You captain is a decoration, you are involved in the case, and you don't say anything to push it to others, it seems that you are selfless?"
Lin Qiupu got angry and said, "Should we come to the trial by ourselves, what will other teams think, and I will protect our subordinates?"
"Is the opinions of others so important? As the captain, there is no action to protect the subordinates. Do you have no confidence in your own fairness or in Xiaodong. You keep saying that you believe him and stand in Xiaodong's position. How disappointed you are now, have you ever thought about it? People are now being tried by the third team, and the case must be investigated by them. There is no initiative at all. I don't know one of the people from the third team, and I have to run in again! You! The captain is... Alas, I'm so angry that I want to smoke!"
Lin Qiupu's face was blue and red. At this time, Xu Xiaodong came out and saw the handcuffs on his hands. Xiao Li cried and said to the comrades of the third team: "They are all policemen, why do you need to wear handcuffs?"
The interrogator said: "Because it is a policeman, it cannot be sheltered."
Xu Xiaodong said, “Don’t worry, I’m innocent. I’m just staying in the detention room for a day... With Brother Chen, I will definitely be able to get rid of my grievances.” He glanced at Chen Shi, but deliberately ignored Lin Qiupu. Lin Qiupu also followed him. There was a hint of disappointment in his gaze.
Chen Shi said, "Let's take a look at the exhibits!"
After Chen Shi left, Lin Qiupu suddenly remembered and complained to himself: "Who are you, it's your turn to educate me?"
He was at a loss in the corridor, after thinking about it, he decided to go to the director to see if he could get back the initiative in the case.
When Chen Shi and Lin Dongxue came to Peng Sijue, Peng Sijue said: "The evidence is very bad for Xiaodong. He may be the last person to see the deceased, plus the hair found in the deceased's hair."
Lin Dongxue said: "I have found the monitor on the road, which proved that the hair was left by Xiaodong's clothes on the deceased."
"That doesn't prove the transfer of hair, maybe they had other physical contact."
"Captain Peng, you know what Xiaodong is."
"But the court doesn't know. They only look at the evidence. If you change to a stranger and the evidence is in front of you, would you doubt him?"
Lin Dongxue was speechless, and Chen Shi said: "Actually, you are all just worrying about it. The case has just begun. There will be more and more evidence. It must prove that Xiaodong is innocent... I have been in the interrogation room twice. What a big deal."
Lin Dongxue smiled bitterly: "If you care, it will be messy... Captain Peng, has the autopsy report come out?"
"Yeah... At present, there is only one head, and only these can be detected. The deceased's head was cut off by some kind of flat sharp tool. It was not cut all at once. The murderer broke her spine after three times. When she was cut, she was cut off. Maybe she hadn't died completely yet. A blunt impact injury was found in the back of her brain, causing massive hemorrhage of the arachnoid. The deceased should be in a deep coma when she was decapitated."
Peng Sijue showed them a few photos, and began to draw them flat on the paper, "I noticed an interesting detail. The force surface of the weapon is very uniform, it should not be a knife or axe. The cross section is not very neat, there is a slight radian."
"Could it be a self-made guillotine?" Lin Dongxue said.
"What are you thinking about!" Chen Shi looked at the photo, "It's a sharp shovel. It's also the probability of a person being unconscious when slapped on the back of the head. Look, the cross section is stained with dirt... Lao Peng, has the dirt been tested?"
"It's in progress. I sent someone to consult with soil experts in Long'an City to see if I can lock the approximate position."
"Who would use a shovel to kill? And so sharp, it must have been polished beforehand." Lin Dongxue said.
Peng Sijue took out a carving knife from the box containing the evidence, and said: "That's right, the DNA of the deceased was found on this knife. The fingerprints of the deceased and the other one are obviously not a murder weapon, but a second murder weapon is not ruled out. The possibility of existence, after all, the body has not been found, do you want to investigate it."
Chen Shi took a knife and observed, "Is the blood very new?"
"Old blood!"
Chen Shi picked up the other exhibits in the box and took a look, and suddenly noticed something, and said, "Go, and see Mr. Li."
