After this failure, my promotion was naturally yellow. Soon, Ali’s appointment letter came down, and she successfully became my immediate boss—the deputy captain. Xiao Chen was aggrieved for me, and I just smiled bitterly.
"Sister Zhu, or else, you leapfrogged to reflect that, no matter how powerful Ali's power is, it can't be more than a word of reason, right? No matter what the case, this position belongs to you, why did it become like this."
There was a party after get off work, and the drunk Xiao Chen spit wildly: "Or, sister Zhu, I will write an anonymous letter for you or something, how about giving you a reaction?"
When the words were spoken, the colleagues looked at each other, stopped the wine glasses in their hands, and listened in silence with their ears pricked up.
I smiled bitterly and took up the wine glass to stop Xiao Chen's mouth: "You drank too much, what's the point."
"Actually, it's not impossible to leapfrog one's ranks." The colleague Xiaosai next to him said; "It's really unfair. You have worked so hard for Sister Zhu for so many years. You were usurped by a new hairy girl who tried to usurp the throne."
When everyone heard the words "seeking power to usurp the throne", they all laughed. I also laughed, tapping the table with my fingers and saying, "This matter was originally not mine.
"Why?" Xiao Chen Qi asked.
"Because..." I said these two words, and suddenly I didn't want to say it. I just picked up the wine glass and looked at Huang Jinjin's sex inside. After shaking it, I put it down and said: "Don't say it, drink."
Everyone nodded tacitly, and never mentioned it again.
After a few days, the case was settled. Because of the high social concern, the Cai Bureau asked Ali to develop a conference and officially announce the results of the case. To a certain extent, it was also a kind of flattery and recognition for Ali.
"Are you going?" Xiao Chen asked, peering into my face.
"Go." I answered without hesitation.
"Oh... Sister Zhu, you don't know what that..." the colleague next to her hesitated.
"Huh? What's the matter?" I shrugged: "What's the matter, Ali found the murderer, she deserves her name, ha ha ha."
Xiao Chen and his colleagues looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
I turned around and exited the office. The light in the corridor was brilliant, reflecting on the floor. I stared at the floating in the light and sneered...
"Hello everyone, friends from reporters."
The next day, in the police station’s press room, Ali stood on the stage vigorously and announced the case: “About the last baby murder case, on behalf of the police, I announced the following...
The crowd in the conference hall was crowded, the flashlights blared, and Ali’s vigorous face appeared extremely shiny, while Li Fang was standing in the corner of the podium, wearing a plain white prison uniform. A female bailiff was holding her head down, her long hair covering her face, her expression unclear.
"That's too much, right?" Xiao Chen was standing in the crowd with me, whispering: "You don't need to withdraw people from presenting the case. This criminal has human rights, right? It's not in compliance with the rules."
I squinted at Li Fang, who was not far away, and shook my head. At this moment, Ali was enthusiastic and said: "The suspect Li Fang has already confessed the facts of the crime. She accidentally filled the baby with the persecution of the adulterer. After taking the medicine, this led to the accidental death of the baby."
With that said, Ali looked at Li Fang and said loudly: "Am I right? Li Fang."
"outrageous!"
Before Li Fang could answer, Xiao Chen spoke in my ear: "How can it be like this? Ali is too much. No matter what the suspect is, he cannot be humiliated and interrogated in public. What happened last time was too much. I didn't expect it to be too much."
"I can't help it, the eldest lady is born, it is normal to suppress others in order to do meritorious service." Someone next to him whispered: "It's a pity that sister Zhu."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen touched my arm.
I pursed my mouth and looked up at the meeting. Ali was questioning Li Fang layer by layer, asking very carefully, including the details of the adulterer’s affection, which caused everyone to crane their necks and listen. The strange thing was Li Fang. She stood there quietly, without any expression on her face, her pale clothing was almost transparent, and her eyes were a little dull, but she was very obedient. Even when facing Ali’s humiliating questions, she answered honestly. .
"Yes, we just took off our clothes and when we started doing it, he talked about the child. I was very angry."
"Om—"
Everyone rapped for a while and whispered.
"Why is she so shameless, her attitude is so calm."
"Yes, that is, to have sex with people, and still so calm, it is simply Pan Jinlian's rebirth."
"No, it's fortunate that my husband is not here. If he is there, I will not murder my husband..."
"Yes, yes."
Everyone talked a lot, but Li Fang could not hear anything. There was one sentence in reply to Ali’s interrogation. Ali was very concerned about her first "show" and prepared very well, and she quickly listed it on the wall. After completing the detailed autopsy report, the print report, and a series of iron evidences, after finally summarizing the statement, he looked back at Li Fang. It seemed that Li Fang was a bit too calm. Happily, he twisted his eyebrows and asked, "Li Fang, do you confess your guilt?"
"Plead guilty." Li Fang seemed to be surprised by Ali's repeated repetitions. He raised his head and quickly scorned Ali, and nodded seriously: "I confessed guilt. Of course I confessed guilt. I killed the baby. I killed my own child. It was deliberate. Murder, so I requested the death penalty for atonement."
"Om—"
Everyone was in an uproar again, and there was a lot of discussion.
"Killing one's own child deliberately is really an eternal crime."
"It's not intentional, it should be a manslaughter."
"After the manslaughter, didn't she deliberately kill her? All in all, this mother is frantic."
"Also..."
"Okay." Ali seemed to be very satisfied with her appearance. She stretched out her hand triumphantly, subconsciously pulled up her scattered hair, smiled and nodded to everyone: "About this case, my introduction is here. Here, what questions do you have to ask?"
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent. The case was too clear, the evidence was complete, and the criminals had honestly explained. There was no doubt about it, so there was nothing to ask.
"Excuse me—"
Suddenly, the last time the female reporter raised her hand, Ali stretched out her hand: "Please speak."
"Excuse me, Ms. Li, what did you think when you killed your child? Oh, I remember that when two female police officers were competing, a female police officer pointed out the flaws in your eldest son’s testimony and suspected that your eldest son killed You didn’t even come out to deny it at the time."
"Om—"
Everyone was in an uproar again.
"No? This woman is too cruel, and her own child is not protecting him. Is it possible to let his son confess his sin for him?"
"Hey, hey, such a fucking woman can't do anything."
"It is said that her husband is still the boss of the company and treats her with great care."
"That's hard to say, everyone has..."
When everyone was talking about it, Li Fang spoke softly, not loud, but very clear: "Yes, my eldest son Xiaogang told me a lie in order to defend me. At that time, I... wanted to push the blame. When it came to the adulterer, she was found out by the officer Zhu. She took it for granted that she was the one killed by Xiaogang. In fact, she would know if she thought about it. How could it be Xiaogang, a kid who was only a teenager."
As he said, Li Fang smiled suddenly, stretched out his handcuffed hands, and touched the sweat on his forehead: "He is young and ignorant, so embarrassed."
"But what about you?" The female reporter seemed very angry and stood up and said, "Are you a mother? Any woman would not treat her son so cruelly, right?"
"Yes, yes." Everyone nodded and whispered.
When Li Fang heard this, he didn't see any guilt. Instead, he smiled very frankly and shrugged: "I am such a selfish mother. Just shoot me."
Everyone looked at each other when they heard this, the female reporter curled her lips contemptuously, mumbled "The cheapest person is invincible", and sat down.
"Is there anyone else wanting to ask?" Ali gave Li Fang a cold look, then raised her voice and asked.
"Me." I suddenly raised my hand.
Everyone turned their heads and saw that it was me. They looked at each other. Ali twitched her eyebrows, then turned her head back and scorned the leaders sitting next to her, then turned and stared at me: "Officer Zhu, do you have anything to say?"
"Yes." I smiled, stood up, and walked straight to Li Fang. Li Fang stared at me, seemingly scared, shrinking his head and taking a step back.
"Don't be afraid." I said softly, reaching out and patted Li Fang on the shoulder.
"What are you doing?" Li Fang seemed to be even more afraid, and threw away my hand. "What are you going to do?" The sound was almost hysterical.
"Officer Zhu, what are you going to say to scare criminals? Criminals also have human rights." Ali's voice sounded arrogantly behind her back.
When I heard the word "human rights", I couldn't help but want to laugh, but I forcibly held it back, turned around and looked at the media, then looked sideways at the sitting leader, and clenched my fists-the moment I was waiting finally coming!
"I have a question to ask the suspect." I said slowly.
"What are you doing?" Ali seemed to be frightened by my attitude, and looked at me with a gloomy face.
"Nothing messing up." I cleared my throat and pointed to the survey report on the opposite wall. "There is a detail in this report. I don't understand it. I want to ask the suspect."
"What the hell are you talking about? The case is over." Ali said sharply.
I took a deep look at her, and saw that the eyelids on her pretty face fluttered suddenly. It was obvious that her heart had been flustered, and she snorted and said, "Can't you ask me if you have any questions? Cai Ju?"
Cai Ju was sitting there frowning. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked at the opposite media outlet, and he had to hesitate: "Of course, you can ask."
"Okay." I nodded and raised my voice: "What I want to ask is that this report says that when the nursery was surveyed, there were no fingerprints of anyone in the nursery, only Li Fang's. right?"
"Yes, what's wrong?" Ali asked eagerly.
"Yes." I smiled and looked back at Li Fang: "Ms. Li, tell me, why did your eldest son kill your younger son?"
"Om—"
The crowd was in shock.
"Officer Zhu, what are you doing?" Ali's scream sounded from behind.
"Nothing." I said coldly, paused, staring at Li Fang, and said every word: "Ms. Li, I know you want to cover up your crime, but you have done too much. It's impossible in one room. There is only one person’s fingerprints. Just imagine your son, your babysitter, never enter the baby room? Of course it’s impossible, so there is only one answer. You wiped out all the fingerprints yourself, leaving you alone. "
"Om—"
The crowd was in a loud noise, and the sound of discussion came out like boiling water.
"Officer Zhu, this is not an interrogation room, please find out." Ali began to frustrated.
I pretended not to hear, and then slowly said: "Ms. Li, I want to ask, why did you do this?"
When Li Fang heard this, her body suddenly trembled, as if the glass was broken, but there was no disorder, it just smashed apart.
"Why?" I raised my voice again.
"No, no, you are wrong, I don't know." Li Fang almost couldn't cry, and kept shaking his head: "I don't know, I really don't know."
"I don't know, then let me tell you." I cleared my throat and said, "You did this to cover up the traces of the murderer. Then who is the murderer? Of course, it may be your adulterer, but if it is you If you’re an adulterer, why do you want to cover it up for him? After all, your adultery has been exposed and nothing can be covered up. You don’t have to cover it up for him, right? Or, you love him deeply, But you don’t even have the courage to divorce him, so how can you be deeply in love? So in any case, you will not cover up your crimes for adulterers."
"Om—"
Everyone was in an uproar again.
"Officer Zhu, this is a press conference, not an interrogation room!" Ali almost came over to pull me, I stepped aside, grabbed Li Fang's hand, dragged her to the stage, grabbed the microphone, high "I want everyone to think about it. A woman, in order to cover up the murderer’s crimes, wiped all traces of the house away, leaving only one person. Who would that person be? Who made her want to do it? What about such a great sacrifice? There is only one answer—her son!"
"Om—"
"Xiao Zhu."
Cai Ju behind saw that he couldn't control the scene, coughed, and wanted to speak, but I waved his hand to stop it.
"So Li Fang, Ms. Li." I grabbed the microphone and looked at Ali who was anxious not far away. Then I fixed my eyes on Li Fang's delicate face and long eyelashes, blinking and flickering. It is the brilliance of maternal love.
"Can you tell us why you want to cover up the murder for your eldest son?"
"I… "
"Or, let's choose a more terrifying and surprising topic-why did your teenage son kill his infant brother?"
