In the photo of Class 17 of Senior Two, Gong Qiangguo identified two students, one is Zhou Lan and the other is Wu Linxiao. According to him, there was also a girl who came with the two. The girl was about their age and looked like a classmate.
On the other side, Fang Yuanhang and the technical team found a Ford SUV in the public surveillance at the east exit of the fireworks sales point. After careful processing, it can be seen that Wu Linxiao is sitting in the co-pilot, and the driver is a middle-aged man. .
"Wu Linxiao?" Hearing the name, Yuan Ai raised half of his eyebrows very high, "I haven't had much contact with him. This person is too boring, his grades are not very good, and he can't play. I don't understand him. What are you thinking about all day?"
Mingshu asked, "Zhou Lan is very close to him?"
"Impossible!" Yuan Ai said with certainty, "Zhou Lan and I, how could it be possible to get together with Wu Linxiao? You must be mistaken."
Zhao Mu and Yuan Ai said similar things, and neither thought that their iron buddy Zhou Lan would have anything to do with Wu Linxiao. They felt that Wu Linxiao was the most uninteresting type of person. He had money in his family, but he didn’t know how to spend it. It doesn't matter if you die at any time.
Mingshu asked: "Who proposed to go to the outskirts of Dongcheng District to play motorcycles on New Year's Eve?"
Yuan Ai thought for a while, "Should it be me?"
Zhao Mu said, "It's Zhou Lan."
Mingshu asked Yuan Ai again, Yuan Ai scratched his hair for a long time, and then said: "I can't remember a little. It must be me who proposed to play motorcycles, and I told them when I was on vacation. If you can't do it in the city, you will be arrested. Too far is also troublesome, and the outskirts of Dongcheng are the most suitable. But I don’t remember I said a specific time.”
Mingshu said, "Did Zhou Lan set the time?"
Yuan Ai nodded, "It seems to be him."
Zhao Mu said: "I didn't want to go to New Year's Eve. If my dad came to me, I couldn't explain it. But Zhou Lan said, we'll be adults soon, so don't be arrogant and sorry for yourself. It's just to go racing on New Year's Eve, and that's the only way. Cool."
Mingshu's eyes gleamed with a gleam of light, "'Drag racing for New Year's Eve', do you mean racing at zero o'clock?"
Yuan Ai said: "We originally planned this, but..."
Mingshu asked, "But what?"
Yuan Ai snorted, "It's nothing, it's just racing at zero o'clock."
Mingshu patted the table, "Look up, don't stare at the table!"
Yuan Ai was stunned, and instinctively straightened her back.
"Don't lie to me." Mingshu said, "You guys are really racing at zero o'clock?"
"I..." Yuan Ai swallowed several times, her eyes wandering, "Really, really."
"I'll tell you the truth." Zhao Mu begged, "But I, I have one condition."
Mingshu said coldly: "Classmate, you know where this is. Do you want to tell me the conditions?"
Zhao Mu broke out in a cold sweat, and immediately persuaded, "I, I said! But I beg you not to tell my dad, he will kill me! On New Year's Eve, our original plan was to race at midnight, but we played After a while, the two of them said it was boring to play like this, and it needed some excitement."
A clue suddenly flashed in Mingshu's mind, "Drugs? Hallucinogens?"
Zhao Mu was terrified, and nodded like a chicken pecking at the rice, "We parked the car in a private garage, it's remote, people have already passed the Spring Festival, just the three of us. They just started sucking that stuff. ."
Mingshu said, "What about you? You didn't smoke?"
Zhao Mu said, "I didn't!"
"Lie!" Mingshu said, "If you just watch them suck, you can't tell what happened next."
Zhao Mu was dumbfounded.
"You can't tell, it's not because you deliberately wanted to hide something." Mingshu said, "It's because you lost consciousness! Just like Yuan Ai!"
Zhao Mu anxiously rubbed the corners of his clothes, "Zhou Lan gave me a pack, I really couldn't hold back, so..."
Mingshu asked, "When did you wake up?"
Zhao Mu said: "5:23. It was still very dark at that time."
"Remember so clearly?"
"It's the first time I smoked that thing! I actually passed out. I was afraid that my dad would call me and immediately looked at the phone, so I remembered the time."
Mingshu asked again, "Was Zhou Lan there at the time?"
Zhao Mu said, "Yes, yes, they both smoked more than me, and they were all still asleep. I waited for a long time, and the more I thought about it, the more scared I became, so I called them up."
Yuan Ai also finally admitted that he was in a coma after taking hallucinogens, and said that after waking up, they jumped in the car together and watched the sunrise, which was a meaningful year.
"Obviously, Zhou Lan is using Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu as his alibi." Xiao Yuan retrieved an inspection report from the inspection center, "The hallucinogen Yi Fei retrieved from the club is a low-addiction drug. Drugs, if you take a small amount, you won't be in a coma, let alone for a few hours. The hallucinogen that Zhou Lan asked Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu to take on New Year's Eve contains medical anesthetic ingredients. And he just made it look like he was taking it."
Mingshu put his right hand against his chin, his face was not very good-looking, "Every feature of the scene leads doubts to Xiang Haoming's peers, but this is actually the result I least want to see. Why did Zhou Lan and Wu Linxiao kill each other together? Xiang Haoming? According to Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu, Zhou Lan and Wu Linxiao are not even friends."
At this time, Fang Yuanhang brought back the driver who drove the Ford SUV that day.
The driver's name is Xu Pingxi, 47 years old, who is in the chartered car solicitation business.
"It was this young man who contacted me." Xu Pingxi pointed to Wu Linxiao's photo, "Said to go to the firecracker sales point to go back and forth, and give me a day's charter fare and gas money. It is rare to encounter such a good thing, and I agreed immediately. ."
Fang Yuanhang asked, "Where did the firecrackers go?"
Xu Pingxi said: "I took it to Dongcheng District, in a community, what is it called... I remembered it, Yiju Jinting, alas, it was a wealthy area. They asked me to unload the firecrackers in my private garage. I was still puzzled at the time, you said that their family is so rich, they must have a car, so why do they have to pack my car? Also, this fireworks sales point is not only available in the urban-rural fringe of Xicheng District, but also in Dongcheng District. What are you doing so far? But people like me definitely don’t understand the thoughts of rich people.”
Mingshu immediately asked Xiao Man to take people to Yiju Golden Court. If the garage has ever stacked firecrackers, there must be important traces left.
As for Zhou Lan's home, team members have already gone to search it.
trial room.
Zhou Lan's expression was almost the same as when he first faced Yi Fei, "I don't understand why you are holding me down. Xiang Haoming's death has nothing to do with me. You also said that he was killed in the early morning of the first day of the new year. But I was riding motorcycles with Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu on the outskirts of Dongcheng District. They can testify for me."
Mingshu said: "They have been unable to testify for you."
Zhou Lan frowned, and the corners of his lips pressed down not too clearly.
"It was you who proposed to go racing outside Dongcheng District on New Year's Eve." Mingshu said, "As far as I know, if your small group had any actions in the past, it was usually proposed by Yuan Ai, and you rarely took the initiative."
"But the relationship between us is equal." Zhou Lan laughed. "Don't you think I'm Yuan Ai's little boy? Wang Hongye and the others are the little boy."
When he said this, Zhou Lan's eyes could not be concealed with contempt, as if his classmate Wang Hongye did not deserve to be compared with him at all.
"What's the reason for your unusual appointment with Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu on New Year's Eve racing?" Mingshu deliberately re-read the word "abnormal" without waiting for Zhou Lan's response, and added, "Let me speculate—I hope they will prove it for you. , when Xiang Haoming was killed, you were on the outskirts of Dongcheng District."
Zhou Lan's pupils contracted under the light.
It can be seen that his psychological quality is much better than that of his peers, but he is only 17 years old, and he is facing Mingshu, the captain of the serious crime team.
"You..." Zhou Lan said, "Have you already identified me as the murderer? You have no evidence at all, and I have an alibi."
Mingshu tapped on the inspection report with his index finger, "You must not understand this report, nor do I understand the complicated terms. But you and I can understand the conclusion."
Zhou Lan looked at the report suspiciously.
After more than ten seconds, Mingshu noticed that the meridians on his neck were bulging.
"Understand?" Mingshu said: "Your two partners have admitted that you agreed to use a drag car to welcome the new year, but at 11 o'clock, you proposed to use drugs to boost the fun. You - or only the two of them - are smoking After passing the 'good stuff' you provided, he fell into a coma, and Zhao Mu didn't wake up until 5:23 a.m. on the first day of the new year."
Zhou Lan raised his eyes, and there was a gloomy look in those eyes that was incompatible with a teenager, "We are 'taking medicine', I admit it. I provided the medicine, and I also admit it. But Xiang Haoming's death has nothing to do with me. , I stayed with Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu when he died. You can ask Zhao Mu, I was more dizzy than him that day, and he and Yuan Ai woke me up together. Mr. Police, I ask you, a How do people in a coma kill? Tsk, you wouldn't say that I sleepwalked to kill, right?"
"I asked you to read the report, but you were too careless." Mingshu said, "The three of you have already undergone drug tests, and it takes time for the human body to metabolize. The anesthetic you used has remained in their bodies, making them It wasn't the drugs you gave Yuan Ai that made him unconscious, but the medical anesthetic."
Zhou Lan's cheeks stiffened for a moment.
"And there is no such anesthetic in your body." Mingshu said, "After Yuan Ai and Zhao Mu were unconscious that day, you left the garage and went to Fanglong Alley, where you 'wait' for your target. In fact, there are many places suitable for racing in Dongye City, and you choose the suburbs of Dongcheng District simply because it is the closest to Fanglong Alley.”
Zhou Lan frowned, "I'm not the murderer. Why should I kill Xiang Haoming?"
"It's a coincidence." Mingshu said, "What I want to know most now is why you want to kill Xiang Haoming."
After a moment's pause, Mingshu's eyes became very serious, "And in such a cruel way!"
A beep suddenly came from the earphone, and Xiao Man panted and said, "Xiao Ming, I'm in Wu Linxiao's garage now. The smell of gunpowder smoke is very strong. We have checked the residue of firecrackers."
Ming Shu turned off the call and looked at Zhou Lan again, "On January 19th, which is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, you, Wu Linxiao, and another girl went to the fireworks sales point in Xicheng District to buy firecrackers worth more than 3,000 yuan. These firecrackers were once stored in Wu Linxiao's house, and were soon tied to Xiang Haoming."
Thinking of Xiang Haoming's death, Mingshu felt intense sadness and anger.
How bad is one person to kill another person in such a cruel way
Zhou Lan sat silently, her head slightly lowered, her brows and eyes hidden in the shadows of her forehead.
Mingshu felt that the person sitting across from him was a young monster.
Another interrogation room.
Wu Linxiao, who was "honest and boring" in Yuan Ai's mouth, pulled out a weird smile, "Have you found evidence?"
His tone was very relaxed, like a child playing a game saying to a child who was found: "I see you!"
Fang Yuanhang shivered inexplicably.
Xiao Yuan picked up the communication device and reminded: "Don't fall into his rhythm."
Fang Yuanhang took a breath and looked at Wu Linxiao seriously, "Find the evidence? Do you mean to admit that he killed Xiang Haoming?"
"How many years will I be sentenced to?" Wu Linxiao still had that penetrating smile on her lips, "My parents didn't have time to take care of me, so they sent me to school very early. I was the youngest student in our grade. Guess what? How old am I?"
Fang Yuanhang has read Wu Linxiao's information, "You are over 16 years old and need to bear criminal responsibility."
"Oh? Is that so?" Wu Linxiao shrugged, looking indifferent, "But I'm not 18 years old, I'm still a minor, so I won't be sentenced to death, right?"
Wu Linxiao's expression made Fang Yuanhang feel extremely uncomfortable, "Why did you want to kill Xiang Haoming? He is your classmate!"
Wu Linxiao tapped his temple, "Is there something wrong with your logic?"
Fang Yuanhang has never been told by the criminal suspect that there is a problem with his logic.
It is impossible for a criminal police officer with a logical problem to enter the serious crime team.
"Stop beating around the bush!" Fang Yuanhang said forcefully, "Why did you kill Xiang Haoming?"
Wu Linxiao said, "Can't you kill if you are a classmate? If I want to kill someone, do I still consider whether he is my classmate?"
Fang Yuanhang said, "You always have a purpose."
"What is the purpose..." Wu Linxiao thought for a while, then smiled: "I want to see with my own eyes what a person is in pain, I want to see with my own eyes what a person is like when they are about to die. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
A cold trembling swept across Fang Yuanhang's body.
"Oh, yes, there is another reason." Wu Linxiao shook his head, "Zhou Lan said, just as the group of poor people in Fanglong Alley are going to set off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, the city management has approved it, and it is even more difficult to be attacked by Xiang Haoming. Find."
Fang Yuanhang said, "You didn't target Xiang Haoming at first?"
"Xiang Haoming, Wen Chaolong, Xiao Manman." Wu Linxiao said and laughed again, "Anyone can do it. Anyway, they are all useless inferior people, they will die if they die. Well, no, Xiao Man. Man, we didn't think about it. She's a girl."
"Inferior people?" Fang Yuanhang was furious, "You think they are inferior people? Who instilled this kind of thinking in you?"
"Isn't it?" Wu Linxiao said innocently: "Look where they live? Dragons give birth to dragons and phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the children of mice can burrow. Wow, don't you even understand this? Humans can use animals to make Experiment, why can't we use inferior people to do experiments?"
After laughing for a while, Wu Linxiao smacked her lips and said, "It's not our fault. If Xiang Haoming wants to blame, he should blame his crazy mother. I heard Zhou Lan say that it was his crazy mother who called on the poor to buy firecrackers. If not In this way, we may choose Chinese Chaolong in the end. In fact, compared to Xiang Haoming, I want to 'fry' Wen Chaolong. Zhou Lan disagrees."
Compared with Wu Linxiao, Zhou Lan seems to be normal.
But this "normal" is only compared to the madness of another demon.
"Can I ask you a question?" Zhou Lan looked at Mingshu, "What do you think is the most fun in this world?"
Mingshu did not answer.
"I think it's a human." Zhou Lan asked and answered himself, "Isn't there a saying called 'fighting with people is endless'? Xiang Haoming is a good prop. Don't look at his usual coldness, in fact, he hates him very much. He hates himself for being poor and wants to be one of us. Wen Chaolong is different, I'm not sure I can attract Wen Chaolong."
"Attracted?" Mingshu said, "On New Year's Eve, did you lure Xiang Haoming to drink?"
Zhou Lan said, "He came out on his own that day, saving us a step."
Time backflow.
After saying goodbye to Yang Guizhen, Xiang Haoming hurried out of Fanglong Alley. Soon I met Zhou Lan, who should not have appeared nearby.
Although he was a classmate, Xiang Haoming hardly spoke to Zhou Lan except for his homework.
Out of courtesy, Xiang Haoming and Zhou Lan said hello.
"Why are you alone?" Zhou Lan smiled and said, "Are you going on a date?"
At this time, Wu Linxiao and Chu Ying from Class 19 also appeared.
Xiang Haoming said, "Just walk around. What about you guys, how did you come here?"
Zhou Lan pointed to the van parked on the side of the road, "I heard that firecrackers can be set off in this area, let's come and play."
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Xiang Haoming's face.
Zhou Lan said, "Why don't you come with us?"
Xiang Haoming said, "It's not very good."
"Why not?" Chu Ying smiled very sweetly, "We bought a lot of wine and vegetables, and you have one more than one. You are just walking around, since we met, it's fate. Come on, come on. !"
Xiang Haoming was still hesitating, but Zhou Lan stepped forward and took him by the shoulders, "Aren't you even rejecting the invitations of beautiful women? It's too shameful, right?"
Xiang Haoming shook his head, "I didn't mean that."
"Then come together!" Chu Ying and Zhou Lan pushed Xiang Haoming into the car together, "Let's have a drink first, enough wine!"
Xiang Haoming and Lai Cheng and other wealthy children have a lot of contact. Although they are very unfamiliar with the three of Zhou Lan, they are not completely unable to speak.
Fanglong Alley was originally on the edge of the city, and they chose a more remote location, and no one passed by until the early morning.
Xiang Haoming's drinking is not bad, but he can't stand drinking one bottle at a time.
When urinating, he glanced at the time and said to Zhou Lan, "I have to go back, or my mother will find out."
Zhou Lan said carefully: "It will be troublesome for you to go back now, right? You smell of alcohol all over your body."
Xiang Haoming said: "Sorry..."
"It's okay." Zhou Lan smiled and said, "Didn't you say that your mother is hosting the annual meeting of the group? She will definitely go back in the middle of the night. The light in your room is off, so she shouldn't push it away? Let's finish setting off the firecrackers, At that time, the alcohol on your body also dissipated, go back quietly, your mother will not find out."
Xiang Haoming hesitated for a moment, not knowing what was waiting for him, smiled and replied, "Okay."
