At the end of the last exam, the candidates were relieved and started to make an appointment to sing a K outing and play billiards while walking around the campus.
When Chen Nian was about to walk to the gate, he suddenly saw a tall, thin boy in a white shirt across the street.
She dashed down quickly, hurriedly pushed aside the parents and students who were gathered together, passed the crowd of cars and ran to the opposite side, pulling on his sleeves and tugging.
When the young man turned back, it was not him.
The unfamiliar teenager glanced behind her, Chen Nian let go, turned back,
Zheng Yi and the police car, and several more plainclothes.
She used to get into the car, from one cage to another.
"Who is he?" Lao Yang asked.
"I'm wrong." She changed her face, cold and calm.
"Who did you know?"
"Class, a classmate."
"Like Kitano?"
"Everyone is alike." Her face was cold and pale. Outside the window, people in school uniforms are densely packed and indistinguishable.
Arrived at the bureau, relatively silent.
Chen Nian always refused to tell his family's contact information, and extremely rejected the school's dean and teachers. Zheng Yi did not notify the school and still invited the female lawyer from last time to accompany him.
Zheng Yi asked, "Do you know why I brought you here?"
"I don't know." She shook her head, the ponytail behind her brushed the collar lightly.
Lao Yang looked at Zheng Yi, his eyes told him not to believe the girl's words, and signaled him to ask the right question.
Zheng Yi opened his mouth, and the image in the video flashed in his mind. She was a piece of meat that was divided up. He closed his eyes, feeling exhausted, and didn't speak for a long time.
Lao Yang stared at him and took over: "We found a video. It recorded the whole process of how they bullied you the day before Wei Lai disappeared, especially what happened later."
Chen Nian did not move.
"How many people took pictures and recorded videos on the spot, you should know. But you said you didn't remember before," Lao Yang questioned, "I'll ask you again, you really don't remember the content of the video?"
She looked at him quietly, her eyes piercing through, and asked, "Do you want me to remember?"
Lao Yang was dumbfounded for a while, and then asked, "Why are you hiding it from us?"
She asked back, "Do you want to hear me describe to you detail by detail, words, actions, strength, in order?"
Immaculately quiet.
The girl's complexion was snow-white, and her black pupils were like a snowy night.
The white skirt was spotless, like a bright moon, clean and cold.
Zheng Yi knew that she was no longer Chen Nian, a high school student.
Lao Yang said: "The people who appear in the video, whether male or female, will be convicted and imprisoned."
But the girl's face did not waver at all. They looked at her and she looked at them. This kind of comfort, which is not comforting, means nothing to her.
The questioning has to continue: "Why didn't you call the police?"
"Perhaps I don't want those videos to be used as evidence to be observed by you over and over again. Maybe..." She raised her eyes and glanced at the few people in front of her slowly, "I don't want to see your pity and pitiful eyes now."
Xiao Yao suddenly lowered his eyes.
"Or maybe..." she said, "I don't think you can manage to find you."
Zheng Yi's face was pierced with needles, Hu Xiaodie, Zeng Hao... These things made him lose faith in her.
"Besides, in your eyes, I am not a human being, but an object, a piece of evidence." She gently stroked the red string on her wrist.
"No..." But what else could be said.
Old Yang changed the subject and said, "This time is different. The crimes they committed against you are enough to be sentenced."
"Oh? Right." Chen Nian said, looking like he didn't care at all.
"After all these things, do you hate Wei Lai?"
"do not know."
"Why don't you know?"
"A dead man, there is nothing to hate."
The statement is similar to last time.
No one knows if she forced herself to forget, so she could be calm as usual; or if Wei Lai's disappearance removed the carrier of negative emotions, so she could be calm as before.
"Do you know Kitano?"
"do not know."
"Why did he protect you?"
"I don't know." She became colder.
"He negotiated conditions with us for your exam time. How do you think this is explained?"
"do not know."
Almost all questions, she answered with "don't know".
Even: "Does he like you? He committed crimes for you?"
She still said, "I don't know."
Lao Yang said, "Your 'don't know' can't convince us."
She asked back, "Why did he ask me about what he did? How can I understand his psychology?"
The crowd was speechless.
On the other side of Kitano, it also hit a nail,
"Why did you kill Wei Lai?"
"Because she saw my face."
"Did you kill Wei Lai because she hurt Chen Nian?"
"no."
"Did Chen Nian hurt Wei Lai?"
"no."
"Do you like Chen Nian?"
"do not like."
"You talked to us about conditions to buy her exam time. How do you explain this behavior?"
"Boring, just do what you want."
"Boring, do what you want?"
"I was born like this. If I don't pursue any meaning in life, I have no constraints. What I want to do, rape, murder, it's all because of this, there is no reason, I just want to do it suddenly."
"Suddenly for her good, I did what I wanted to do."
"what."
"You killed Wei Lai?"
"Yes."
"Why kill her?"
This question has been asked countless times. The motive for the murder is the motive for the murder. Kitano glanced at them with a sneer, and said word by word: "Because. For. She. See. See. My. Face."
"Do you know that Chen Nian was bullied?"
"do not know."
"You didn't kill Wei Lai to avenge Chen Nian."
"no."
"Are you really a raincoat man?"
"Yes."
"What is the name of the newly discovered corpse?"
"Raizi."
"full name."
"Lai Qing."
"What's his relationship to you?"
"friend."
"Why do you know where his body is?"
"Because I killed him."
"Why kill him?"
"He discovered my identity."
"What identity?"
"He found out I was the raincoat man."
"So you killed him."
"Why don't you keep the whistleblower?" Kitano sneered.
The lawyer held his forehead helplessly.
"He grew up with you?"
"Yes."
"You still decided to kill him, why?"
"Only the mouth of a dead man will not reveal secrets," said the boy.
It is seamless and tight.
Lao Yang and the others went out of the interrogation room to discuss countermeasures.
Two teenagers, separated by a wall, sat calmly and silently; they didn't even know how close they were to each other.
The two teenagers, one by one, are leak-proof and have no flaws. If they are not psychologically strong, they will only be telling the truth.
But people often have an intuition, especially criminal police. Unexplainable weirdness shrouded Zheng Yi's heart.
However, some people are inclined to believe that what they have now is the truth. Xiao Yao said: "He knows the victims who we don't know about who didn't report to the police; he even killed his friends to hide the crime."
"What if?" Zheng Yi stared at the young man sitting alone behind the glass on both sides, suddenly pointed at Kitano, and asked, "What if he kills to prove that he is a raincoat man?"
This kind of thinking is too sensational.
"What did you say?!"
"If, that shirt is not completely destroyed, it is to prove that he is a murderer; that raincoat is not completely destroyed, it is to prove that he is a raincoat man."
"He's not a raincoat person, so he's trying to prove that he is?" Lao Yang asked, "Why?"
"Hide the motive for killing Wei Lai." Zheng Yi spoke quickly, "because if he is not the raincoat man, there is no motive for killing Wei Lai. If he is not the raincoat man, he cannot hide the real motive for killing Wei Lai: Chen Nian.
Because of Chen Nian, he wants to protect her! "
Zheng Yi whispered: "This is not a serial case at all!"
Lao Yang refuted: "This is just your conjecture. Although there is that video, there is no conclusive evidence to prove your so-called real motive for killing. What's more, why did he hide the motive for killing Wei Lai? Because of Chen Nian?! It doesn't matter who you don't protect, it's someone who killed him anyway. You've already killed someone, and you still care about the motive?"
Zheng Yi was questioned, cold sweat on his forehead, brows condensed, thousands of thoughts mixed together in his mind, suddenly, he suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Nian on the other side of the glass, his back was cold, and said, "Unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless Chen Nian is an accomplice!" Zheng Yi's face was pale, and he spoke faster, "I took off Wei Lai's clothes, not because I was afraid that the season would be exposed when they were discovered in a few months. It was because there was key evidence on her clothes. , such as the bloody handprint of another accomplice!"
The moment he blurted out, Zheng Yi was stunned and suddenly regretted without a name.
Lao Yang and the others were dumbfounded.
Xiao Yao hurriedly retorted: "Zheng Yi, your conjecture goes against the current chain of evidence! You have to talk about evidence, not use your feelings. Your approach is unfair!"
It was dark, the lights were on, and the case was closing.
The wall clock in the corridor ticked, Zheng Yi's eyes were empty, and his mind flashed back quickly, Chen Nian Beiye, every answer, every expression.
On the other side of the glass window, Beiye is very calm, and Chen Nian is also very calm,
Why
"Why did you kill Wei Lai?"
"Because she saw my face."
"Do you hate Willie?"
"do not know."
"I'll pick you up after school?"
"No. It's all right."
"Are you a sensitive person?"
"No. He and I accidentally bumped into each other."
"Aren't you afraid of Chen Nian's rejection?"
"I heard her say tickets are hard to come by."
"Chen Nian said that someone protects her."
"I've seen this woman, and Xiaobei said she owes her money, a lot of money."
Whether all this is nonsense or a fatal clue, there is only one way to prove it. Zheng Yi suddenly pulled his feet and rushed to the first interrogation room.
Chen Nian was signing and was about to leave. Zheng Yi rushed in, lifted the paper ballpoint pen, grabbed her hand, and lifted her from the seat like a chicken, pulling her all the way.
He slammed open the door of the second interrogation room and pushed Chen Nian in; Chen Nian fell on the wall and his hair was disheveled; at the same time, Kitano suddenly raised his head,
Four eyes met, dumbfounded,
Zheng Yi dragged Chen Nian out in an instant, and slammed the door of the interrogation room shut.
only one glance, but enough,
because,
Love cannot be hidden; if you close your mouth, your eyes will speak out.
…
…
…
It was late at night, the police, the interrogators, everyone was exhausted. In the boil, to see who can survive who.
Two teenagers, thin, thin, but hard bones.
Old Yang rubbed his red eyes and said to Zheng Yi, "There is only one way to prove your conjecture."
"what way?"
"The Prisoner Effect."
The so-called prisoner effect refers to the tendency of two conspiratorial criminals to expose or frank the truth because they cannot trust each other or are told that the other party has betrayed and confessed when they cannot communicate.
No one can survive this psychological warfare.
The interrogation soon began separately.
Chen Nian sat in the interrogation room, his whole body was white, only the red rope on his wrist was particularly bright, like a bloodstain.
The expressionless police officers poured in, her expression was still not settled, Lao Yang threw a stack of folders on the table, and with a "pop", the old detective stared at her, and said, "Kitano has already confessed."
Chen Nian looked at them, waiting for an answer. There was no surprise or panic at all.
"Chen Nian, he explained it all." Lao Yang said, "You and she are accomplices."
Chen Nian shook his head: "No."
"On the day Wei Lai disappeared, she asked Xu Miao to go to the back mountain. It was just by the way. In fact, the person she asked was you. There is no need to contact you by phone, because she told you the day before. The last class is physical education class. Shan, you hurt her after you went there. You told your classmates at school that movie tickets were hard to buy. Li wanted to hear that and asked you to go to the movies that night. When you went to the movies, Kitano went to take care of the aftermath again."
"No." Chen Nian shook his head, the light was cast from the top of his head, and the eyelashes cast shadows, dazzling in her dark eyes.
"This is what Kitano said himself, and he admitted it. Chen Nian, if you don't confess, you will only be punished more severely."
Hold on, you have to hold on.
She looked at them with cold eyes. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Do you want to reduce the punishment for me?"
"Yes, we want to help you."
"Since I want to help, since it's conclusive, it doesn't matter if I admit it or not?" Chen Nian asked back, "You should treat me as a confession and ease the punishment for me."
He was speechless.
After all, Lao Yang continued: "Then do you admit it?"
"no."
"no?"
"I don't know why he said that, but I don't know him." Chen Nian said.
"He said you were accomplices. Just three hours ago, he confessed to another crime to buy time for your exam."
Chen Nian still shook his head,
"He may be too bored, or he may not be willing to be caught when he violated me, and he wants to drag me into the water. It sounds like he is buying time for my exam and confessing another crime. Think about it, confessing the act itself. , involving me, since it has been involved, it may be convicted, and what is the point of fighting for the exam. This is so contradictory. Therefore, he said that he and I were accomplices, which is not credible. "
Her logic is so clear that it makes people sweat.
Her remarks undoubtedly provided another possibility for the complicated case. Perhaps Kitano was unwilling to be planted in her hands and wanted to frame her.
"You mean what he said was false?"
"Yes."
"Chen Nian, at the last chance, if you don't admit it, Kitano will get a lighter punishment for cooperating with the investigation. Otherwise, your guilt will be aggravated."
"He's lying," she said slowly.
"you sure?"
"Sure," she said with straight eyes and a decisive tone, "otherwise, you let me meet him and let us confront."
"You think we won't let you confront each other?"
"Let him come!"
The scorching light made her face pale, and her cheekbones were sharpened.
…
The female lawyer stood up abruptly: "Enough!"
They failed, and she survived.
The last hope remains to put pressure on Kitano.
Faced with another interrogation by Kitano, the opening remarks are determined and oppressive:
"Chen Nian admitted that when Wei Lai was killed, she was at the scene and she participated."
"Is that girl's brain sick?" Kitano said.
The situation on this side is the same as on the other side. No matter how he talks about aggravating or reducing the punishment, confessing to being lenient and resisting being stricter, he has not been able to open Kitano's mouth.
"You mean what she said was false?"
"Yes."
"Kitano, last chance, if you don't admit it, Chen Nian will get a lighter punishment for cooperating with the investigation. Otherwise, your guilt will be aggravated."
"She's lying."
"you sure?"
"Sure. Otherwise, you let me meet him and let us confront."
With this white and gray light, Kitano's face was unprecedentedly three-dimensional, like a knife sharpening an axe.
The eyes of the two young men were equally tenacious.
Zheng Yi felt that his colleagues had done their best and could not open it.
Maybe, try again a few times, but know that it can't be broken.
Those two children, they have a city, trapped by two people, they cannot break through.
They exchanged glances and were about to leave the interrogation room, but Zheng Yi didn't move, he still held on to the last bit of "intuition" and didn't let go. When he threw Chen Nian in front of Beiye, his eyes would not be fake.
Why
He looked at Kitano, and caught the same expression on his face as Chen Nian next door, an almost miserable coldness.
Why
Why are they so difficult to overcome, why are they so certain that the police's interrogation on the other side will fail, and that the other party will not betray.
So much so that Zheng Yi, apart from his intelligible intuition, almost turned his sanity.
Otherwise, he doesn't understand what happened on the way to and from school. How can two people who have nothing to do with each other have such a strong bond.
Two children, fragile, young, facing great pressure and threats, still trust each other so much, is it possible
What kind of contract and survival relationship exists between them
They were on the same ladder and either fell together or one cut the rope. His wish was to remove all obstacles for her and let her leave flawlessly, so she resolutely climbed up the road he paved? The one that fell, the one that survived, who suffers more
Is this the relationship
impossible.
Hard to imagine.
Is he wrong
Thinking about what Xiao Yao said, he was introspecting and struggling, and he was about to collapse.
Lao Yang and others got up, and they left the interrogation room. The case developed as originally thought.
There were only two young men left in the cramped room.
Second after second, Zheng Yi was sweating profusely.
Collision, stalking, movies, back hills…
His thoughts were numb and confused;
The cleansing emotions forced him to lean forward suddenly and pressed the boy: "Chen Nian is an accomplice! You took off Wei Lai's clothes, not because you were worried about revealing the season when you found out. It was because she left key evidence on her clothes, leaving Chen Nian behind. blood fingerprints!"
Kitano looked at him coldly without saying a word.
"We made all preparations to bury Wei Lai in a remote but suitable place for preserving the body. I was afraid that in the event of being discovered, in the absence of evidence, there was no suspicion of the Raincoat Man. Chen, who had bullied her before her disappearance, was not suspected. Nian has the most motive for murder. So you must keep all the evidence you put on Wei Lai!"
He was incoherent, and his thoughts were churning: "You didn't burn the bloody shirt and raincoat on purpose; it was to prove that you were a raincoat man! Hit Li Xiang on the road and stared at Xu Miao to make them suspect you."
Kitano narrowed his eyes slightly, his eyes cold.
But no, what's wrong
When Kitano proposed a quid pro quo, Zheng Yi had doubted the use of winning the exam time. He exposed his concern for Chen Nian. Once strictly interrogated, it is very likely that more secrets would be dug up. What is the meaning of an exam time
Why
Why is Kitano so sure that the two of them can win the cross-examination test? She is sure that Chen Nian can cruelly make him suffer, but she refuses to confess and denounce her confession
Where did he come from
Zheng Yi grabbed the table, and suddenly, a light flashed, and he stood up abruptly,
"You—you're not a raincoat man!"
But where did Wei Lai's "defense injury" come from in the autopsy report? Could it be... His assumption... The so-called defense injury all came from the resistance Wei Lai received when he abused Chen Nian the day before his death... Is it true
!
He's not a raincoat guy!
who is it
Similar teenagers, the height and weight on the roster, Dakang from the repair shop, Chen Nian rushed down the street and pulled the boy in white back, another face.
"Da Kang!-"
and many more.
who is it
The brain is like a high-speed machine, the abuse in the video is played back,
Lai Qing's photo, a face similar to Lai Qing's flashed in the video.
"Lai Zi! - Lai Qing!"
Lai Qing is the raincoat man, and Kitano's understanding of the raincoat man comes from Lai Qing.
That night, Lai Qing also participated, and he also violated Chen Nian. Kitano hates him.
But why, why on earth to dress up as a raincoat—
Zheng Yi was stunned for a moment, his trembling body and soul stopped for a moment, and the hand grabbing his neck fell slowly.
He was stunned, looking at Kitano who was almost melted in the white light in front of him, unbelievable and horrified.
No, such a meticulous and sensational plan would not come from such a young man.
Zheng Yi was like a patient who had sweated profusely after a high fever. He was weak and empty, cold and biting, staring at Kitano without any soul.
Zheng Yi stumbled up, grabbed Kitano's collar and lifted him up, and said in a very low voice that was limited to what he heard, as if it came from a soul:
"You have to be a raincoat man, and only by pretending to be a raincoat man can you hide the real cause of Wei Lai's death.
Because Chen Nian was not your accomplice; when you arrived at the scene—
Willie is dead.
It's Chen Nian! And you're not even there!
You hate Lai Qing, but you don't want to kill him, but you have to guarantee that he will not leak secrets in the future, and will not commit crimes again, so that you will become a definite 'raincoat man', and the 'raincoat man' will never be overturned! Since you have become a criminal, you have cut off the possibility of Chen Nian's confession.
Kitano, are you crazy? ! "
He gritted his teeth, grabbed him by the collar and pushed him back into the chair.
Zheng Yi was panting heavily, while Kitano, he rubbed his wrist that was being pulled by the iron cuffs, raised his eyes, and the corners of his lips curved up.
"Officer Zheng, I admire you. But—"
