The interrogation room is an independent and sealed space.
However, the one-way glass and all-round monitoring are enough for people outside to see everything inside.
Kong Guangming sat on the chair alone.
The chair stands alone in the middle, with nothing around it.
Several cameras live-streamed his old and haggard face, rickety back, and handcuffed hands from the front, side, and back...
Xiang Wan watched quietly, outside the interrogation room, quietly watched every move of the almost old middle-aged man in what he thought was his private space...
"Xiang Wan."
Bai Muchuan suddenly called her.
"Huh?" Xiang Wan turned her head and met his gaze.
With just one glance, each other seemed to understand what the other was thinking.
"Heh!" Xiang Wan said, "I'm not an expert in criminal psychology. I'm just a novelist who likes to study the inner world of characters. I said I'll do my best. Are you satisfied with this answer?"
"Yeah." Bai Muchuan rolled his lips, "I'm always satisfied with you."
This sentence is slightly joking, but sincere.
Xiang Wan couldn't find any teasing on his face, nor could he think too much.
"Thanks!" she said. "When shall we go in?"
Bai Muchuan raised his wrist to check the time, his brows furrowed slightly, "Wait another fifteen minutes."
"Why fifteen minutes?"
"Kong Guangming has been sitting inside for forty-five minutes, and another fifteen minutes, exactly one hour. One hour is the psychological limit for most people to wait."
There is also a wall clock on the wall of the interrogation room, facing Kong Guangming.
He could see time passing and would suffer seconds because of it.
Xiang Wan smiled silently, "Fortunately, I'm not your enemy."
"..." Bai Muchuan looked at her indifferently and didn't answer.
Fifteen minutes tested Kong Guangming's psychological limit.
To the two people who waited silently outside the interrogation room, why not
When talking about work, he is free, calm, and focused.
Alone space, boring time, breathing will slowly deteriorate...
Sure enough, men and women who have had an affair are not suitable to be friends, Xiang Wan thought.
"Relax." Bai Muchuan said, "In fact, interrogation is a kind of psychological contest. If you are weak, the other party will be strong. If you are strong, the other party will be weak. If you can't control your emotions, you will never get the answer you want."
"..."
She thought he was because of the interrogation
"Thank you Team Bai for teaching." Xiang Wan looked at him sideways, keeping the arc of his smile within a moderate range, "Is this okay? Is it enough to relax?"
Bai Muchuan looked down at her, "Not enough."
"?" Xiang Wan didn't know why.
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes and whispered, "Guess what I saw in your eyes?"
"Heh." Xiang Wan was amused by his serious look, "What? Could it be that my eyes can hide things?"
Bai Muchuan nodded solemnly, "Misunderstanding. I saw your misunderstanding of me."
"..."
His eyes were warm and burning.
Looking at each other for a few seconds, Xiang Wan was a little overwhelmed.
"No." She shifted her gaze, "I only have work in my eyes."
"Really?" Bai Muchuan looked at her with a half-smile, "Why can't I see? Come on, turn around, let me look more carefully?"
Seeing him stretching his head forward narrowly, Xiang Wan took a step back, snorted, and refused to communicate with him.
"Actually, I'm really wronged." Bai Muchuan sighed, his legs folded slightly, and he lazily leaned against the wall and stared at her, "You sentenced me to death without trial."
"..." Xiang Wan felt nothing in his heart... It was a lie.
However, thinking of how they got along when Xie Wanwan came today, and the "life-threatening friendship" between the two of them, she felt that she was the most wronged, getting involved in other people's world of two for no reason, and became a person who let her The kind of person who hates.
"Officer Bai, I'm actually not that interested in the affairs of the two of you... I know current affairs, and I don't like to get involved in muddy water. I really hate entangled things. Because it will affect my judgment, IQ, and personality." , dignity, and the ability to love. So, do you see what I mean?"
The corners of Bai Muchuan's lips hooked slightly.
"Isn't it still the death penalty?"
"..."
Not sure what to do with him, Xiang Wan simply turned her face away and didn't look at him.
"That's not right." Bai Muchuan sighed casually, with a magnetic and melodious voice full of self-mockery and helplessness, "Could it be that if you touched me, you just took advantage of it and don't take responsibility for it?"
Bring up this matter again!
Xiang Wan made a face of embarrassment and squinted at him.
"Do you know why you always give people a feeling of insincerity?"
Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows, "Because I'm so handsome?"
"..." This arrogant little guy.
Xiang Wanhao wanted to beat him up.
With a snort, she rolled her eyes at him, "The acting is too bad!"
…
"White team!"
Tang Yuanchu came over, and seeing the two standing there, he was a little puzzled.
"Why didn't you two go in?"
Bai Muchuan glanced at him sideways, raised his wrist to check the time.
"Almost. Go in."
"Okay." His words were like a pardon, and Xiang Wan felt relieved.
…
The interrogation room door opened.
Tang Yuanchu was also called over to make on-site notes.
Xiang Wan sat in the interrogation room again, but took on her first official job since becoming a consultant to the criminal investigation team.
Sitting in front of Kong Guangming, she looked at the "middle-aged old man"'s wrinkled skin and dejected face caused by a long-term bad life, and asked him slowly.
"How do you feel now?"
Kong Guangming was taken aback when he heard the nonsensical words.
"Comrade police... I... didn't think of it, really... If I had known that he would come out with a knife, I wouldn't have left the room, really... really..."
It's a bit like Xianglin's wife is thinking about it.
But Mrs. Xianglin's numbness contained real heartache, while Kong Guangming's face was only numb, not hurt.
Xiang Wan glanced at Bai Muchuan.
She thought of what he said firmly at the small meeting that day that Kong Guangming didn't love his son, and he had no sense of responsibility.
"Your son died for two days. You are not sad, but you only want to get rid of your crime. Kong Guangming, I feel sorry for your son!"
She said she was sad, and her expression was really sad.
Kong Guangming looked at her, shut up, and didn't answer.
Xiang Wan looked into his old-fashioned eyes, "It's your nature to be deeply affectionate. So, we don't understand why you lost your nature? Kong Guangming, can you tell your story..."
Kong Guangming looked at her with drooping shoulders.
Before that, he had gone through three rounds of interrogation.
However, all the policemen who came here were completely different from her interrogation methods.
Kong Guangming was not used to it, but there were not too many waves on his face.
"People will always die. He is not a good person. To live is to cause trouble for our country. It is fine to die."
"..."
Even if it is a devil, in the eyes of parents, it is good.
Kong Guangming's answer hit Xiang Wan's heart.
"Look at your son again, and think about it, is there anything you want to tell us?"
Xiang Wan took Kong Qingping's information from Tang Yuanchu.
Photos of the living, the dead, the scene, and all directions were placed in front of Kong Guangming.
"Your son is very pitiful. When he came to this world, he never received any love. He lost his mother since he was a child, and met a father who didn't treat him as his own son..."
Kong Guangming's expression remained numb until Xiang Wan said "Don't treat him as his own son" that his facial expression changed.
He could act, but his acting was not professional enough. The subtle changes immediately fell into the eyes of the three of Xiang Wan.
"I was right, wasn't I?" Xiang Wan exchanged glances with Bai Muchuan, looking at Kong Guangming, "A tiger doesn't eat its offspring. If it eats its offspring, it can only be that the tiger doesn't treat its son like a son. Kong Guangming, listen People in Kongjia Village said that your wife ran away shortly after giving birth to Kong Qingping. I don’t understand what a woman has to go through to abandon her own son. Look?"
Kong Guangming's body didn't move, but his Adam's apple was moving slightly.
Xiang Wan stared solemnly into his eyes, "Back then, what did you and her, Kong Qingping's mother, break up with?"
This is the first time that Kong Guangming was asked about Kong Qingping's biological mother during the arraignment.
He was caught off guard, his eyes dodged a little, and he seemed unwilling to mention what happened back then.
"I... I forgot."
"Impossible." Xiang Wan said coldly, "How could you forget a woman who you hate so much that you beat people up and even went to jail for a single word from others?"
"I really forgot, can you stop asking me these things? What's the matter? I've been in prison. I deserve to break the law all my life?" Kong Guangming wanted to raise his hand, but the handcuffs were probably too heavy. After tossing a few times, he lowered his hands, "You policemen don't justify my son, but grab me all day long asking questions, what's the rule..."
"Whatever you ask, just say what you want!" Bai Muchuan cut him coldly, "We understand the facts of the case, you are obliged to answer, this is the rule."
Xiang Wan was too gentle. Kong Guangming was not afraid of her and could argue with her.
Bai Muchuan said with a straight face, and he calmed down.
"I have nothing to say. Nothing to say."
Be honest, but don't explain.
It is also a way to resist police interrogation.
Xiang Wan looked at him for a moment, then suddenly turned to look at Bai Muchuan, "Captain Bai, I suggest you send someone to investigate the personal situation of Kong Qingping's biological mother. Although it has been more than 20 years, her existence has a great impact on Kong Qingping and Kong Guangming." The impact is huge. It is also very necessary for us to understand the situation of the case. Moreover, Kong Qingping died. From a human point of view, we should also inform his biological mother... "
"I said!" Kong Guangming interrupted suddenly, "Is it okay if I say it?"
He was vicious, and before anyone could ask, he cursed in disgust.
"She's a whore, whore!"
He didn't let go of his clenched teeth when he said a word.
Xiang Wan's heart skipped a beat, and he squinted at him, "Be more detailed."
"She stole people behind my back." Kong Guangming's emotions became complicated and manic, so he didn't start to look at the police, "Later, when I found out, I secretly ran away with the wild man!"
His hoarse voice was full of old wounds and pain.
Everyone responds to pain differently, but once emotions are no longer masked, it is easy to lose control, lose control, and become impulsive.
Xiang Wan struck while the iron was hot, "Who is the wild man? How did you find out, how did she run away, why didn't you take the child away!"
Xiang Wan herself had tried the heart-scratching feeling when being questioned by the police for details. She knew that the more detailed the questions, the more annoying it would be. So, either don't lie, or there will be verbal holes.
Sure enough, Kong Guangming's mentality collapsed a bit.
He said for the first time that it was the people in the village who pointed at him, and he realized that something was wrong. When he went back and scolded her, the woman ran away.
When Xiang Wan asked him who the "people from the village" were, he hesitated and couldn't answer, saying that he ran into her disheveled and flushed when he went back after drinking that day, and she looked like she had done that , under his persecution, she admitted to having a broken shoe with the man, and then ran away before dawn the next morning.
"Didn't you go to find her?" Xiang Wan continued to ask.
"I found it. I didn't find it."
"Didn't call the police?"
"No report. Too shameful."
"She hasn't contacted you since then?"
"No."
"Why didn't she take the baby?"
"How would I know?"
"Who is that wild man?"
"have no idea."
"I don't know if you are so sure that she has someone?"
"She admitted it herself, of course I know..."
"You didn't ask who that wild man is? It doesn't make sense."
Kong Guangming was questioned repeatedly by her, and his brain ached. He had a bad temper, and his eyes widened. "It's been more than twenty years, and I almost forgot it. I can't remember it."
Speaking of this, he almost snarled, "You know, my brain is not very good. I have mental problems, mania, mental weakness, and I have been taking medicine. If you continue to ask questions like this, I will If something happens, you can’t be held responsible.”
Xiang Wan did not make a wrong judgment. Kong Guangming was irritable and had no bottom line in life.
As soon as things went against him, he started messing around.
"Okay, if you're tired, you can rest for a while, we'll wait for you." Xiang Wan nodded, "However, don't try to get away with it. If you don't explain these things clearly, you will be interrogated day after day until Until we fully figure out the situation…”
Kong Guangming stared at her with disgust in his eyes.
"Tell me!" Xiang Wan was not angry, and guided slowly, "Actually, if you don't tell, the police can find out. It just takes a little more time. In this society, where are the people the police want to find but can't find?"
When she bluffs, it's like that too.
Kong Guangming did not move. not moving at all.
After a while, he swallowed. Mouth began to move.
Shaking, trembling, I don't know if it's because of excitement or anger.
"You women are liars. Liars. Liars."
His emotions gradually lost control.
An hour of waiting, the cramped interrogation room, and the pressure from the police... are enough to destroy the will of a normal person.
Besides, he is not a completely normal person.
Kong Guangming's state is different from when they first came in.
Bai Muchuan narrowed his eyes, slowly took out his cigarette, and handed him a cigarette.
Tang Yuanchu got up and lit the fire for him.
Pat, clack, clack.
Kong Guangming couldn't move his hands, his mouth wriggled and sucked.
Without saying a word, the smell of smoke filled the air.
The interrogation room was cold.
During the silent time, Xiang Wan thought a lot.
A story deduced from the characters and the existing plot slowly took shape in her mind.
"I can't see her anymore, can I?" She asked suddenly, with compassion in her eyes.
Not against Kong Guangming. She seemed to be looking at someone else through him.
Kong Guangming paused for a moment while smoking, and looked at Xiang Wan, as if he wanted to see something on her face.
"Is she dead?" Xiang Wan was not afraid of his venomous gaze, and bravely went up to him.
The four eyes met, as if meeting each other on a narrow road—
The brave win.
Kong Guangming was in a daze, and slowly stopped smoking. The cigarette suddenly slipped from his mouth and landed on him, the red cigarette butt burned his leg, he didn't realize it, and muttered in a low voice.
"died."
"died?"
"died."
"You killed it."
In Xiang Wan's aggressive gaze, Kong Guangming showed his first sadness during the interrogation period.
"She died. Died herself. Not me. Really...not me."
Xiang Wan's heart beat hard.
That feels complicated, complicated. Like a fabricated story being deduced into reality, it fits her presupposition, which is nervous, frightened, and a certain panic about her own reasoning ability and other people's emotional perception.
"Where is she? Kong Qingping's mother."
Xiang Wan didn't ask where the body was, but chose "she" in the third person.
That was her respect for the dead.
Kong Guangming gritted his teeth, only vicious and resentful.
"Feed the dog... all feed the dog..."
What? Xiang Wan took a breath of air, and his stomach was overwhelmed.
Inexplicably, she thought of the big black dog in the courtyard of the Kong family.
Then, he shook his head again.
More than twenty years. Dogs don't have that long lifespan.
"The dog was in the fish pond and fed the fish." Kong Guangming's eyes were bloodshot, tired and weak, and every word was like a vicious curse whispered out, and his mental state was also very bad. "She ate the fish, the dog They ate her, the fish ate the dog... It's all in the fish pond, and she's in the fish pond! It's all in the fish pond... "
