Xiao Gang was forcibly dragged by Ali, blushing uncomfortably, bit his lip, glanced at everyone timidly, and lowered his head again.
"Say it." Ali was a little anxious, pushing Xiaogang, knowing that it was a round before, she only beat me by one game, this time I caught Xiaogang's testimony, if it can prove that the murderer is the traitor. Husband, then I was even with her, so she grabbed Xiao Gang first and forced Xiao Gang to testify on the spot. In this way, she won this round again, and I would never be able to reverse it.
Xiaogang was urged by Ali to get a little scared, and struggled a few times, and said: "Let go of me." Although the boy is weak, but he is not too young, let alone he struggles desperately, and Ali struggles to fight him on the spot, so he has to relax. Opening his hand, Xiao Gang took a breath, raised his head and looked around. It seemed that I felt safer, so he walked up to me and gasped non-stop.
"Okay, Xiaogang, don't be afraid, we are all here, the police are all here, all testifying to you, tell me?" I looked up and gently patted Xiaogang on the shoulder.
Xiaogang gasped excitedly for a long time, and finally calmed down. He tilted his head and thought, gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, when I went downstairs to find water, I did hear footsteps from the baby room..."
"What time?" I asked.
"Probably..." Xiaogang blinked, recalled, and replied: "About one o'clock in the morning."
"One o'clock in the morning?" Ali asked.
"Yes." Xiao Gang seemed to be a little afraid of Ali, shrank his head and hid behind me.
"What happened then? Didn't you go to see the situation?" Ali was a little anxious, stepped forward, and saw Xiaogang hiding more and more, snorted, stepped back, holding her chest and said: "Neither do you Can you speak well when you are young?"
"I... I heard the sound and wanted to go over and take a look, but my mother came out of the bedroom and saw me drinking water downstairs, reprimanding me for not going to bed, so I went upstairs and went back to the bedroom to rest."
When Xiao Gang said this, his face suddenly became extremely red, as if thinking of something extremely ashamed, he bowed his head.
Li Fang seemed to feel his son's mood, his face instantly turned pale, and his body was shaking more and more severely.
"Okay." Ali glanced at Li Fang, then at me, pursed her lips, turned her head and patted her hands at the crowd: "Now, listen, this matter seems to be almost clear. The adulterer came in the middle of the night. **, I don’t know why, I harbored resentment towards the baby, killed the baby, and was caught by the eldest son. The mistress sent the eldest son back to the bedroom in order to cover up the adultery, and then made a robbery scene with the adulterer. In the end, this adulterous murder case was turned into a robbery, right?"
"Om—"
The crowd was in an uproar, and the discussion was full of ups and downs. Many people pointed their cameras at Li Fang, as if they wanted to see the face of this sexy woman clearly and plainly.
When Li Fang arrived at this time, she calmed down and stood there quietly, with a calm and water-like beauty, her face pale as if she were transparent, and she didn't say a word.
"Officer Zhu."
As soon as Ali came to the conclusion, she couldn't wait, she said loudly: "Officer Zhu, who is the one who won?" After a pause, she seemed to be sorry, and said with a smile: "Well, this sentence is a draw. How? Because you advocated letting the eldest son testify in person, but the process was asked by me. The result of the question proved my conclusion that the adulterer is the murderer. So, let’s count as a tie, okay?"
"Oh..." I groaned, before speaking, I suddenly heard Xiao Chen next to him open his mouth: "Sister Li, I said, this is the case, that's it. The eldest son's testimony was proposed by Sister Zhu to testify, so... should Sister Zhu won, right?"
I was grateful that I raised my head and glanced at Xiao Chen. Everyone in the bureau knew that Ali was very powerful. This time, he got a ridiculous "on-site judgment" and invited the media to testify, which was obviously just for publicity. Deprived of my promotion position, my colleagues sympathized with my situation, but were also afraid of Ali’s influence, so the whole process had been the background board and kept silent. However, at this moment, Xiao Chen couldn’t help but single out, openly. Say I won this round, then I and Ali will be a tie.
If this match is a tie, when I return to the judging round, my qualifications will become my trump card. Ali was just transferred. No matter how big the power is, she can’t suddenly grab the position of the hero, so this Things, if there is a tie, then there is little hope that Ali wants to be promoted.
Ali seemed to feel this too, so she tried her best to achieve a "big victory" situation. At this moment, seeing Xiao Chen jump out to speak for me, she gave Xiao Chen a vicious look and frowned: "This What was it? Officer Zhu proposed it on the initiative, but I asked the question, didn’t it? I asked about this child’s testimony, and that of Li Fang’s testimony. How can this be counted as Officer Zhu’s Got it?"
"But you did it on the head of Sister Zhu."
Xiao Chen seemed to have spared his life at this time, and argued in a low voice.
"You are sick." Ali finally turned into anger, the eldest lady had a temper and said angrily: "What is it for me to grab, what did I grab?"
At this time, everyone was smashing the story of adulterers and women. When they heard the arguing here, they turned their attention to this side, watching our confrontation, whispering and talking.
"Xiao Chen, are you tired of your life?" Ali was embarrassed when she saw her. She was a little desperate. She walked quickly, as if she was going to talk to Xiao Chen endlessly. I didn't know well, so I walked over and stretched out her arms Between the two they said: "Okay, okay, this testimony hasn't been finished yet, don't hesitate to draw conclusions."
"what?"
Everyone thought that the murderer was certain, and when they heard this, everyone looked at me with gaping mouths.
"Now, the testimony is not over yet." I shrugged and pointed to Xiaogang and said, "The child's testimony just now doesn't fit with the mother's testimony.
When these words were spoken, Ali immediately reacted, and her face appeared a little dazed: "Ah, that's right." After that, she turned and stared at Li Fang and said, "Li Fang, in your testimony just now, you didn't say anything about your son. Ah. Why is you in your son's testimony?"
When Li Fang heard this, his body trembled quickly, and suddenly he glanced at Xiao Gang quickly, clenched his fist and said, "I... forgot."
"Forgot? I'm afraid it was a guilty conscience, right?" Ali sneered.
Li Fang lowered his head lower, gritted his teeth, and kept shaking his head without saying a word.
Everyone's discussion sounded again, one after another.
"It should be a guilty conscience."
"Yes, lest my son see her adulterer, so coax my son back to the bedroom."
"But why did she let the adulterer kill the younger son? It's illogical."
"Maybe it was the adulterer who killed the youngest son to vent her anger. She had no choice but to cover up the crime."
"Right… "
"All right."
Ali seemed impatient with this obvious answer, slapped her hand, raised her head and looked at me: "Even though I missed this point, the answer that the adulterer is the murderer has not changed, so this round, we are still a tie. how is it?"
"How can you bully people like this?" Xiao Chen couldn't help but uttered when he heard this, but he was caught at once.
"Sister Zhu..." Xiao Chen turned his head, looked at me disapprovingly, gritted his teeth and said: "This is too unfair."
I smiled, waved my hand, looked up at Ali, and saw that she was standing there like a proud peacock, with her head up, looking at me provocatively.
"Ali." I said.
She was startled, seeming to be puzzled by my simple opening remark, frowning and asking: "What are you doing?"
"Oh, what I mean..." I blinked and looked at the media, because we were relieved again. Everyone lost interest and stared at Li Fang again, whispering and approaching adulterers and women. It’s better than the police. The internal entanglement between them is much more stunning.
"I mean... what is the responsibility of our police?" I raised my voice, trying to attract everyone's attention.
Ali was startled, squinted and stared, suddenly smelling a dangerous smell, and said in a puzzled manner: "What are you doing?"
"I said the responsibility of our police." I smiled.
"Oh... of course to solve the case." Ali hesitated and said a safer answer.
"Yes, it's for solving the case, not for some game, isn't it?" I continued to raise my voice, and when everyone saw that we were arguing again, they turned their attention to us again.
"Of course it is to solve the case, but today's game is also a way to exercise the ability to solve the case." Ali felt that I was digging a hole and hurriedly added.
"Yes." I nodded sternly, and suddenly pointed to Xiaogang on the opposite side: "So... we have to point out the real murderer."
"Om—"
The crowd was in an uproar.
"What do you mean?" Ali became anxious when she heard this, stomping her feet: "What are you talking about?"
"Say what?" I shrugged and stared at Xiao Gang in front of me. I was surprised to see that the young man was surprisingly calm, with his eyes downcast, his face motionless, like a calm lake.
"Officer Zhu, what the hell is going on?" Seeing my expression, Ali seemed to feel a little ominous, her face gradually sank, she walked to Xiaogang and looked up and down the boy. After watching for a long time, she didn't see it. Clue to come.
"Excuse me, this police officer."
The female reporter in the crowd on the opposite side raised her hand and asked loudly, "What do you mean by this? Can you tell us?"
"She means, Xiaogang's testimony has loopholes." Ali said in an angry manner.
"Really?" Xiao Chen said with excitement in his tone, clutching my arm and saying: "Sister Zhu, what have you found, speak quickly." After a pause, he quickly scorned Ali again and said loudly. Said: "If you are right this time, then you have won the round."
"Not only that." I pursed my lips and looked at Ali meaningfully: "Ali, if I prove that the murderer is not the adulterer you said, does that prove that I completely won the game? After all, this is A game about finding the real murderer, isn't it?"
Ali bit her lip, frowned in silence, for a long while, muffled and said: "Then what do you want to say, don't bring the lawsuit."
I nodded, looked up at the opposite side, and saw that everyone had stopped talking, and they all looked up at me. The hall fell silent for a while, and the sun outside came in, and a bright light appeared on the marble floor. I can't open my eyes.
I cleared my throat and spoke slowly: "In fact, Xiaogang's testimony doesn't have too many flaws, it's just a matter of common sense of geography."
"What geographic common sense?" Ali said desperately, her expression a little worried.
"That's..." I pointed to the kitchen across the hall and said, "Xiao Gang just said that he came out of the bedroom on the second floor in the middle of the night, walked down, and arrived at the kitchen. In the process, isn't it? Xiao Gang?"
When Xiaogang saw me asking him, he rolled his eyes, didn't speak, but lowered his head, staring at his shoes, as if there was something on them.
"What the hell are you going to say, can you say it quickly?" Ali almost became irritable.
"I mean..." I pointed to the stairs in front of me and said, "Ali, where is the baby room, do you know?"
Ali blinked and then asked Li Fang, "Li Fang, where is the baby room?"
Li Fang bit his lip, wanting not to answer, but seeing so many people staring at him, it was too hard to openly object, so he closed his eyes, pointed at the back of the stairs and said, "It's on the left side of the guest room over there."
When everyone heard this, they followed her fingers, but they couldn't see it.
"Where is it?" Ali was impatient. Seeing that Li Fang didn't understand, she simply said with the hand of the babysitter next to her: "Come on, you can show me where is the baby room?"
The babysitter was frightened by Ali's momentum, "Ah" and said, "No."
"Why not? The police asks the case, do you dare to violate?" Ali glared at the nanny, and grabbed the nanny's hand and "pedaled" towards the back of the stairs: "Quick, what the hell is it, tell me."
After the babysitter was dragged by Ali to go straight to the stairs, the others rushed over in a hustle and bustle. They went to the room behind the stairs, but saw another hall, and then saw where the baby room was.
"I understand." The female reporter who followed us suddenly understood, slapped her thigh and said: "I see, Officer Zhu, you are still great."
"What and what? What do you understand?" Others seemed to be a little impatient, and asked the female reporter.
"She understood that Xiaogang was lying, because Xiaogang said that he heard the movement of the baby's room, but at such a long distance, normal people can't hear the sound here." Ali explained with a gloomy face.
"Wow—"
Everyone was in an uproar, looking at each other, and they went to find Xiaogang, but they saw that Xiaogang and Li Fang did not follow everyone. The mother and son stood alone on the other side of the hall, the sun shining on the two people, showing a different kind of paleness. Li Fang clenched his fists and trembled all over, while Xiao Gang remained motionless, his eyes drooping, and his long eyelashes concealed all emotions, as if everything in this world had nothing to do with him.
"Then the problem is coming."
Xiao Chen suddenly spoke, coughing twice, and said with a bit of joy in his voice: "This time, does it count as a big win for Sister Zhu?"
Other colleagues looked at each other, some nodded, and some did not express their opinions.
"Oh, everyone, say something." Xiao Chen said with a bit of indignation in his tone: "The murderer proved that he was not an adulterer, but her eldest son. Didn't Sister Zhu win?"
"Oh, Xiao Chen." I hurriedly interjected and waved my hand: "It's hard to tell if it's Xiao Gang. We just proved that there is something wrong with Xiao Gang's testimony by reasoning, but why he lied and whether he killed him? Further investigations. After all, the case should be based on evidence. Now that the post-mortem report and other trace reports have not yet come out, we can’t just judge anyone.”
When Xiao Chen heard this, he shrugged and said, "You are right, but... Dear Officer Ali, do you have anything to say about this game?"
Since I broke the truth, Ali's face has been red and white. At this moment, seeing Xiao Chen say this, she rolled her eyes and said, "What game?"
"It's this game?" Xiao Chen seemed determined to go with her forever, snorted, and glanced at the people on the opposite side: "Everyone testifies, today is to let two police officers compete with each other to exercise their reasoning ability. , Then I want to ask everyone, who has won this game?"
When these words were spoken, everyone did not speak, and only glanced at each other-knowing that they were invited by Ali to testify, but they did not expect Ali to lose, and the loss was very thorough. If you force Ali to win It's obviously unfair, but if I directly say that I won a big victory, it would be difficult for them to make a deal, so they all fell silent.
"You are saying something?" Xiao Chen stamped his feet, his face became more and more angry: "There is no such bullying. It is obviously that Sister Zhu has found the key clue. At least it proves that the murderer is not an adulterer, right? With conscience!"
Everyone looked at each other when he said this.
"I feel that the police officer surnamed Zhu won." The female reporter raised her hand and announced loudly, with a bit of resoluteness on her face.
When other people saw someone opening their mouths, they glanced at each other, and someone successively said, "Yes, it seems like this."
"Yes, Officer Zhu should have won. After all, she pointed out that the murderer was not an adulterer."
"Maybe, who knows."
"There is nothing you can't say about the obvious things, you're afraid, I'm not afraid."
"What are you afraid of..."
"All right!"
Suddenly, Ali, with a gloomy face, slapped her hand and pursed her mouth. With a somewhat unwilling smile on her face, she looked at me and said: "Sister Zhu is really a powerful person, and the younger generation is really beyond her ability, okay, This time, I declare that Officer Zhu will win!"
"Wow—"
The crowd was in an uproar, some looked at each other, and some nodded. The female reporter didn't know why, and suddenly slapped her hands. Others also echoed the slap, getting louder and louder, returning to the hall, as if it was a prelude to victory...
"Sister Zhu is mighty."
On the way back, because Ali took the car and drove away by herself, Xiao Chen pulled me alone. The young man was very excited. While driving, he said cheerfully, "This time you won beautifully. The position of deputy sheriff must be yours."
I shook my head with a wry smile.
"What's the matter?" Xiao Chen stared at the front mirror, seeing that my expression was not like a winner at all.
"Oh... it shouldn't be that simple. We are just one-sided words. Everything depends on evidence." I hesitated for a while, and said a vague answer.
Xiao Chen gave an "Oh", took a deep look at me, and fell silent.
I turned my head sideways and looked out the window. At this time, the sky was clear and white clouds were fluttering. The wind was blowing fiercely outside. Because of the cold, a layer of cyan frost appeared on the glass window, which looked like ice scum on ice cream. , I raised my hand and stroked the glass a few times, and suddenly heard Xiao Chen's voice: "Sister Zhu, don't worry, this world is fair and comfortable."
Fairness and freedom
I smiled, wrote a big "gong" on the glass window, and whispered: "I hope so."
