At noon on June 8, a group of parents gathered outside the school waiting for their children's exams to be completed.
Zheng Yi also stood in the crowd, looking at the nervous and anxious expressions of the surrounding parents, and then looking at himself, it was a bit funny.
Dakang also couldn't provide any clues. He only said that Kitano seemed to have been in contact with a girl, but he had never even seen what the girl looked like.
After the exam was over, students poured out like a tidal wave. Zheng Yi rarely saw such a scene. Every time he came to pick up Chen Nian, it was very late, the students dispersed and the school was empty.
Just after taking the comprehensive exam, the candidates didn't look very relaxed. Those who didn't have their parents waiting went home, and those who had parents were looking for their parents in the crowd.
Zheng Yi looked at the students, a little dazzled, and accidentally saw Li Xiang outside the school. He didn't take the exam and wandered around.
Zheng Yiyuan was going to go to him in the afternoon to ask questions again, but now that he ran into it, he beckoned to call him over.
Li Xiang said that he was free to experience the atmosphere around the examination room. He asked again, "Officer Zheng, are you waiting for Chen Nian?"
Zheng Yi nodded.
"It won't be another case, will it?" Li Xiang was speechless.
"No." Zheng Yi smiled and asked, "Looking at your expression, I dislike coming to school."
Li Xiang rubbed his head embarrassedly: "That's because you are always here to make trouble."
"Don't make trouble this time, treat her to a meal."
Li Xiang urged: "Don't ask about the exam, students are the most troublesome to ask about this."
Zheng Yi said, "Okay."
"By the way, what are Luo Ting and the others going to do?"
Zheng Yi paused for a second or two.
At present, Luo Ting and others' explanations are not comprehensive enough. When the evidence is conclusive, they will naturally be punished. Of course, it is not proportional to the injuries suffered by the bullied. Punishable does not mean revenge. Zheng Yi will apply for psychological intervention, and he will personally supervise then, ensuring that the group of children receive psychological counseling or treatment with their parents, no matter how long it takes.
Zheng Yi didn't explain, only said: "Don't worry, I will be responsible to the end."
Zheng Yi remembered the topic he was going to ask him in the afternoon, and felt that it was more natural to ask him now, so he said, "Li Xiang,"
"Um?"
"You and Chen Nian went the same way twice?"
"right."
"Are you usually a sensitive person?"
"Sensitive? No, I'm quite careless."
Zheng Yi asked, "It's only been the same journey twice. Why can you detect that someone is following Chen Nian?"
Li Xiang was taken aback for a moment, and after a few moments, he said, "Because I accidentally bumped into him once."
hit
Zheng Yi frowned slightly.
Thinking about Xu Miao again, he said that Kitano smiled evilly at her. Why is he so blatant
Li wanted to leave, but Zheng Yi stopped him and asked, "By the way, did you invite Chen Nian to watch the movie?"
"Wei Lai disappeared that night? Other police officers have already asked me." Li Xiang said generously, "I got the ticket and took the initiative to look for her, not me."
"I heard from my colleague." Zheng Yi said, "But, was that the first time you watched a movie together?"
"First time."
"Why do you remember to invite Chen Nian to watch a movie?"
"I just think it's hard to come by, Titanic."
There seems to be nothing to ask, but Zheng Yi's appearance of Chen Nian appeared in front of his eyes, and he couldn't help but say: "Aren't you worried about her rejection?"
"what?"
Zheng Yi said: "With Chen Nian's character, I feel that I will refuse. You are quite courageous."
"Oh," Li Xiang laughed, "Actually, I wanted to invite her to a movie for a long time, but I never dared. I overheard Xiaomi talking to her about Titanic that day, and she said that tickets should be hard to buy. I guess she should also want to see."
"That's it." Zheng Yi said.
Li wants to leave.
After Zheng Yi waited for a while, he saw Chen Nian. Many of her peers around her ran to her parents, and she went down the steps quietly and walked her own way.
She saw him quickly, paused for a second, and walked towards him.
Zheng Yi smiled with his white teeth and said, "Come by the way, please have dinner."
Chen Nian nodded and walked beside him.
Zheng Yi's mind was numb. Kitano's case is unclear, and Chen Nian's experience is also unclear. He didn't know if things were the way they were, or if there was something he didn't see.
Chen Nian by his side was silent, not at all angry, like a lone soul. She was not like this before, even if she didn't speak, she was warm. He wanted to know more about what happened that day.
They didn't go far and found a seat in the restaurant opposite the school.
It was hot, Zheng Yi turned on the electric fan on the wall, the wind blew Chen Nian's hair sticking to her neck, and she slowly stroked the strands.
There was really no other topic to talk about, so Zheng Yi asked, "How was the test?" He thought, she wouldn't be impatient.
Chen Nian raised his eyes to look at him and said, "It's okay."
"Do you find it difficult?"
"Yeah, it's fine."
"That's good." Zheng Yi smiled, "I just stood outside and heard from many students that the exam questions were difficult."
Chen Nian pursed his lips lightly and said, "Maybe, comfort each other; give confidence to the classmates around you. After all, there is still another course in the afternoon."
"Really?" Zheng Yi smiled again.
"Yes." Chen Nian said, looking at him with clear eyes. Zheng Yi nodded in his heart.
At that moment, he exhaled inexplicably, feeling very relaxed.
I think too much.
Chen Nian's family conditions are not good, it is impossible to lend money, let alone a large amount of money. On the contrary, it was Kitano, who always had more than enough living expenses from his uncle and aunt in his bank account, and spent a lot of money.
Collision, movies, unburnt shirts, raincoats, and no plausible explanation for stringing these trifles together.
Zheng Yi didn't think about it anymore, and lowered his head to wash the chopsticks with tea; Chen Nian looked at it for a while, and asked softly, "You waited for me, it's been a long time?"
Zheng Yi raised his head and realized that he had just said "I was just standing outside", he smiled: "It didn't take long."
The chopsticks were washed and handed a pair to Chen Nian.
"Thank you." Chen Nian took it and started eating. Exams consume brain power, she is also hungry, and her appetite is not small.
"Test English in the afternoon?"
"Um."
"Is it your strength?" Zheng Yi said, and put a large piece of twice-cooked pork into her bowl.
"It's okay." Chen Nian nodded with rice in his mouth.
Zheng Yi smiled when she saw that she was concentrating on eating. Glancing at the red rope on her white wrist, she said, "The color of this rope is beautiful."
"Well." Chen Nian said, "The red rope keeps you safe."
After a meal, Zheng Yi bought her a cup of lemon tea, and she walked slowly beside him holding the cup and the straw.
The noon wind blew the fine sweat on his forehead, and Zheng Yi said, "I can rest for a few days after this case is over, and you have finished the exam. If you need someone to take you where you want to go, remember to find me."
Chen Nian nodded: "Yes."
At the intersection, Zheng Yi said, "Go back early for lunch break."
"Um."
"Set the alarm clock, don't miss it."
"Well." Chen Nian raised his eyes to look at him.
Zheng Yi was stunned, he saw thanks, she has always been a girl who will be grateful if you give her a little favor.
"Let's go." She raised her hand, waved it gently, and left.
The sun was shining and the tree shadows were mottled; he stood there for a long time, watching her back go away, and the smile unconsciously climbed to the corner of his mouth. For a moment, he wanted to follow her, so he silently escorted her home.
So he pulled his feet,
And at the moment when he pulled his feet, a cold air rushed down from the soles of his feet.
He suddenly understood the feeling of following behind him, the reasonable explanation, the trivial line.
The motive is wrong!
It's not tracking, it's guarding!
Zheng Yili was in a cold sweat in the noon sun.
…
He should have chased after him immediately to find out, but he didn't. He stood there, as if he had been stunned, until his cell phone rang.
"Brother Zheng, come back soon, we found a very important video."
"What?" Zheng Yi asked.
The other party lost his voice, and finally said: "You come back soon."
Zheng Yi rushed to the small conference room, bumped into Xiao Yao and pushed the door out from the inside, tears in his eyes.
The male colleague's eyes were red.
Zheng Yi whispered and asked again, "What's the content?"
The colleague clenched his fists tightly, with blue veins on the back of his hands, and said, "They beat her, scolded her, stripped her and dragged her on the ground, dragged her to the street, and sold her..."
Zheng Yi clenched his teeth and listened.
"... a few boys came and bullied Wei Lai and some girls... took her away... in the grass... "
Zheng Yi walked in without expression;
Lao Yang stopped him: "Don't watch it. The people who appeared in the video have already been arrested."
Zheng Yi suddenly pushed, and Lao Yang slammed into the door; Zheng Yi's face was blue, his eyes were blood red, and his chest was heaving and agitating. He looked at the people around him in turn, walked in, and slammed the door.
There was dead silence on the porch, and across the door, the young man cried repressedly, unable to make a sound.
…
All, suffering, resentment; however, this profession requires them to be sensible at all times.
Half an hour later, Zheng Yi said, "One, Chen Nian has a motive for murder. Two, Kitano's motive may be wrong."
Lao Yang Xiaoyao and others thought the same.
Xiao Yao: "But Kitano has admitted all the crimes."
Zheng Yi: "Yes. Unless there is some kind of relationship between the two of them that we haven't discovered."
"An excellent high school student and a gangster, they don't seem to have any intersection. But to be on the safe side, I brought Chen Nian over for interrogation. Kitano also has to be re-examined." Lao Yang said, "The case file has been reported. Hurry up, or it will be too late. Now go and take Chen Nian."
"Don't look for her. Trial Kitano first." Zheng Yi said solemnly.
…
Kitano sat in the interrogation room, handcuffed under the table, still looking lukewarm.
On the contrary, his uncle's newly-appointed lawyer had serious worries on his face.
Lao Yang got straight to the point: "We found a video. We already know everything about what Chen Nian suffered the day before Wei Lai disappeared."
Kitano was cold and quiet, and his expression did not change at all.
"We believe that Chen Nian has a motive for killing Wei Lai; or your motive for killing Wei Lai is not necessarily what you said. Kitano, you are sure that your relationship with Chen Nian is as you said before, just a stranger, Just your goal."
"I said what I should say." Kitano said.
Zheng Yi captured that Kitano was colder than the last time he was interrogated. Apart from that, there is no trace of emotional leakage.
Lao Yang asked again, speaking very fast: "Why do you want to violate the first two victims?"
"No reason, I just want to try."
"Why did you kill Wei Lai?"
"She saw my face."
"Why choose daytime?"
"She has many companions at night."
"Why do you like Chen Nian?"
"She stammered, which attracted me to look back and think she looked good."
Lao Yang asked all the questions he had asked before, disrupting the order, and the momentum came up quickly. However, none of Kitano's answers differed from the first time.
Regardless of whether Lao Yang and others used the lie detector method or made side-by-side attacks, they could not find any flaws from Kitano.
Since there is no flaw, it means that he is indeed a criminal.
Just as Lao Yang and others were about to end their interrogation, Zheng Yi suddenly spoke up and asked, "Is there another possibility?"
Kitano turned to look at him.
Zheng Yi: "You already knew what happened to Chen Nian, right? You want to avenge her."
Kitano: "Have you ever cried?"
Zheng Yi held his words and stared at him for three seconds:
"What is your real motive for killing Wei Lai? Are your feelings for Chen Nian as you said before? Is there an unknown connection between the two of you?"
Kitano asked back, "Why are you crying? Do you like her? Do you feel bad for her?"
Zheng Yi stood up from his chair with a "snap" and looked down at Kitano. The two young men looked at each other.
The air condenses like stones,
"Today is June 8." Zheng Yi said.
"I know." Kitano said.
It's afternoon, and there is one last exam.
The young man bent down, put his hands on the table, and looked down at him with an oppressive aura: "You hide her, deceive her, and protect her; just to let her take the exam with peace of mind
When the police started to search Houshan, you suddenly ran to get your diploma and got caught, just to divert the police's attention and not involve her in the interrogation? "
Others don't understand, but Zheng Yi bet that the young man in front of him must understand what he is talking about.
But Kitano opened his black eyes and said, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
"Kitano, do you know how we judge that the deceased has a defense injury?"
Kitano looked at him and said nothing.
"When people are struggling, they use their hands and feet, especially the tiger's mouth and hands. Even if there is no obvious injury in such places, there will be dark wounds in the subcutaneous tissue. It is similar to your knee hitting something inadvertently, and the next day there is no apparent injury. Bruised under the skin."
After he explained, he made a bizarre point, a hypothesis that he himself was not entirely sure of:
"There is something wrong with Wei Lai's defense injuries. The subcutaneous bruises on her hands, feet, and neck may have come from the day she died, 'she resisted when you raped her'; but it could also have come from Chen Nian the day before.
Beiye, we saw in the video that when Wei Lai bullied Chen Nian, Chen Nian kept pulling Wei Lai's hands and feet and pushing her shoulders and neck during her resistance. This degree is sufficient to constitute a bruising of the skin, confusing a 'defensive wound'. "
After Kitano listened, Yi Shi said, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Lawyers protested.
Zheng Yi took a deep breath: "These questions, I will try Chen Nian again. If it's as you said, no problem. If you hide something, do you think she can stand it in the face of the interrogation?"
Kitano looked at them, he looked at the group of adults in front of him, he pursed his lips and did not speak.
Lao Yang couldn't wait and said, "Bring Chen Nian to interrogate now."
Kitano's face changed instantly, and Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment. He forgot that there were other people around. He immediately looked at his watch, and the person should not have entered the examination room. This is not what he wants. What he wanted to say, Lao Yang got up and walked out.
Zheng Yi chased after him, but reflexively glanced at Kitano,
The latter actually laughed, and suddenly, the conversation turned and said, "Another corpse."
The lawyer was stunned for a moment; Old Yang stopped and turned around: "What?"
"Give her three hours." Kitano said, "I tell you, another body."
The author has something to say:
Some readers say why the police cry is unreasonable. But why can't you cry? Because it has been exposed to too many such things? Because there are still responsibilities? It is true that many do not cry, but that is not to say that all do not cry at all. Some are used to it, and this part is very reasonable. But the crying part shouldn't be unreasonable. Some police officers I have seen do not cry, but I have also seen old criminal police officers who have worked for decades still burst into tears when facing some cases. Whether you cry or not has nothing to do with the group, has nothing to do with your identity, it has nothing to do with the individual's feelings at that moment.
Xiao Yao is a newcomer and a girl. As for Zheng Yi, in addition to knowing Chen Nian, he is very familiar with Chen Nian. He used to be her protector and owes her a debt. He likes Chen Nian very much. As for this liking, someone asked him how he could have fallen in love with a small stutter who had only been in contact with him a few times. How can I explain how Zhen Yi likes the rhetoric that he can't understand at first sight? It is impossible to use reason to see whether a relationship is reasonable or not.
Except for Xiao Yao and Zheng Yi, the others only wrote about a male colleague with red eyes, that's all. Well, if there is such a police officer in this police station, no matter how many tragic cases he encounters, he will still not be numb and still feel compassion for the suffering of others.
Some readers said it was too idealistic, thinking that in reality, being arrested on the spot, evidence, admitting, these are enough to finalize the case and will not be investigated again, even for someone like Zheng Yi who has just graduated and is still idealistic.
Actually, the police in China are not as bad as you think, really. Look at my serious eyes (⊙o⊙)
Not to mention some of the cases I've investigated, just talking about it today, I've seen several cases where the evidence is complete, the culprit has confessed, and the case has been closed, but the police have rediscovered the problem because of a wrong intuition. Even if there is evidence, the criminal will be caught on the spot and the criminal will admit it, but if a policeman notices something strange, his intuition is wrong, and he feels that he has doubts, he doesn't say it, he doesn't care, he turns a blind eye. , I just want to get off work early, maybe this seems to make some people feel real and reasonable, but this is quite unfair to the police as a group. Because many police officers are not as reasonably irresponsible as you think. A lot of you don't know his name and don't think of him, but they're in their place.
