Fifteen minutes later, a police car drove downstairs to the restaurant.
Fang Zhen came up to ask Ruan Yu: "Ms. Ruan, if it's convenient, please come with us to the scene and cooperate with this arrest operation."
Li Shican stopped her and asked Fang Zhen: "What's the situation over there now? How is the suspect? Is he carrying a weapon? Will it be dangerous for her to go? Can you make sure everything is safe?"
"The special police are on standby near the residence. It is confirmed that the suspect is temporarily in a stable state, and the possibility of carrying a gun is basically ruled out. However, if the arrest is carried out immediately, Mr. Ruan and Ms. Qu in the residence will still face personal safety. threat of damage."
"Ms. Ruan is asked to cooperate in order to achieve peaceful persuasion and avoid direct armed conflict as much as possible. The police must do their best to protect the safety of everyone at the scene. Comrade, please trust us."
Li Shican frowned: "To persuade the suspect, where are your negotiators and psychologists?"
"Professionals will be in place at the same time, but considering that the suspect has sought help from Mr. Xu and Ms. Ruan successively while he was at large, we believe that she has irreplaceable value in the negotiation process. Of course," he turned to Ruan Yu, " Ms. Ruan has no obligation to cooperate, if you have doubts about this, you can stay on the sidelines and wait for news."
Ruan Yu shook his head: "I'll go with you."
Xu Huaishi tugged at the hem of her clothes: "Sister..."
Ruan Yu patted her hand lightly: "Don't worry, your brother meant the same thing as the police on the phone." Then he looked at Li Shican, "Don't follow, if you provoke Yuji and affect the police's actions, help me Do you want to take care of Huai Shixing?"
Li Shican was silent, nodded, and said: "Remember safety first."
Ruan Yu got into the back seat of the police car.
Fang Zhen asked her a few words about the family situation. After listening, he used the police walkie-talkie to communicate with someone, and then turned around and said, "Ms. Ruan's parents are very smart and calm, and they bought the police plenty of time. , There are currently no abnormalities in the residence."
Hearing that the well-spoken police officer was comforting people lamely, Ruan Yu forced a smile: "Thank you." After pondering for a while, he asked, "Officer Fang, if it's convenient, may I know the details of the case?"
He nodded: "The suspect and the deceased drove from Suzhou City at 8 o'clock yesterday morning. The highway monitoring showed that the driver was the suspect, but besides the No. 1 fingerprint with the highest frequency on the steering wheel, there was also a No. 2 fingerprint, so it is not ruled out that the deceased may have been driving in the road section where monitoring is missing."
"The chip of the driving recorder is missing, and it is suspected that it was taken away artificially, so the complete driving route cannot be determined, but the navigation records show that the destination of the suspect and the deceased is near your parents' home."
It turned out that Zhou Jun brought his girlfriend to see the teacher this time.
Ruan Yu frowned and continued to listen.
"The crime took place on a remote road near the mountain in the suburbs. Due to the lack of monitoring, the specific circumstances are unknown. The body of the deceased was found outside the car. The fatal wound was in the head, caused by a blunt force blow."
"Comparison confirmed that the murder weapon was a claw hammer suspected to be used for emergency rescue in the car. The No. 1 fingerprint consistent with the steering wheel and the No. 2 fingerprint belonging to the deceased were detected on the handle again."
Ruan Yu clasped his fingers together, rubbing his index finger back and forth on his nails, as if relieving the tension and depression floating in the air, he didn't dare to think deeply.
"The deceased's mobile phone was also found outside the car. There was a key call record. It was at 10:32 when the incident happened, the deceased called his father. The deceased screamed for help on the phone, repeating 'help me' back and forth. , Let go of me, Zhou Jun' such words."
"In addition, a small piece of flesh was found between the nails of the deceased. It was suspected that it was taken from the murderer at the time of the crime. The DNA of the flesh and the two No. 1 fingerprints need to be compared and confirmed after the suspect is arrested. .”
Although Fang Zhen's words are basically rigorous and objective, but after hearing this, combined with the fact that Zhou Jun escaped and refused to cooperate afterwards, the evidence has a certain direction. That's why the police listed him as a major suspect and investigated him. wanted.
The vehicle drove towards the suburbs at a high speed, and Ruan Yu took a deep breath every two minutes, and finally calmed down. When he was about to get home, he suddenly heard a commotion on the intercom.
She immediately sat up straight, and Fang Zhen became serious, asking about the situation.
A male voice came from the walkie-talkie: "The suspect discovered that Ms. Qu called the police. After being stimulated, he used a fruit knife to hold Mr. Ruan up to the flat-roofed roof on the fourth floor. Face-to-face persuasion has no effect for now.”
"I'll be there in three minutes." After Fang Zhen finished speaking, he turned to look at Ruan Yu, thinking that she might be frightened and crying, but found that she was just sitting upright, staring straight ahead and motionless.
"Ms. Ruan, please be sure..."
"I trust you." Ruan Yu interrupted him and nodded to him.
Three minutes later, she got out of the car with Fang Zhen, and at a glance, she saw that the downstairs of the house was surrounded by water, some of them were neighbors who were being evacuated by the police, and the other part was the police who were preparing for protection work.
The life-saving cushion with sufficient gas is already in place, and the ladder fire engine and ambulance are coming from not far away.
The whole environment is noisy and dizzy.
Qu Lan was protected by the police, turned her head to see Ruan Yu, and cried, "Yu Yu, your father...!"
Ruan Yu trotted over and saw Zhou Jun on the roof holding Ruan Chengru and standing on the edge of the roof, with his back turned to this side, confronting the special police and negotiating experts on the other side, and he seemed very excited.
She patted Qu Lan on the back, gritted her teeth to calm herself down: "Mom, we are not afraid."
Fang Zhen brought out the police invisible earphones and asked Ruan Yu to put them on, and said, "Our people put too much psychological pressure on the suspect, so he couldn't hear a word at all, so we must ask them to temporarily evacuate from the back. The firefighters will assist you on the ladder, and you will have a brief communication with the suspect to try to calm and stabilize his emotions."
Ruan Yu nodded and stuffed the invisible earphones into his ears.
Qu Lan stopped her: "Yu Yu, you can't go up, you are not afraid..."
"It's okay, Mom." She shook her head, then looked at Fang Zhen again, "Officer Fang, continue talking."
"The negotiator will maintain communication with you through this headset, and all the conversations between you and the suspect can be accurately transmitted to the bottom."
"You have to remember two points. First, do what you can. Second, the police promise not to harm you and the hostages. The worst result..." He stopped here, and pointed at the top floor of the opposite building. .
Ruan Yu guessed from his eyes that there might be snipers there.
The worst outcome would not be that she and her father would be injured, but that the police would kill the suspect as a last resort.
She trembled and nodded: "I understand."
Ruan Yu took off his high-heeled shoes, and climbed up the ladder with the help of professionals.
The special police who were originally on the roof had already hidden behind the house. Zhou Jungang relaxed a little. Seeing the ladder rising slowly, he clenched his knife tightly to Ruan Chengru again and said, "Don't come up, don't come up!"
Ruan Yu hurriedly shouted: "Zhou Jun, it's me, I'm Ruan Yu! I'm the only one!"
Hearing her voice, Zhou Jun's hands trembled slightly, and he subconsciously took a step back to the side of the rooftop.
Ruan Chengru was obviously a hostage, but he smiled instead: "My child, don't be afraid, Yu Yu is a little girl, she won't hurt you."
As the ladder went up, Ruan Yu was finally able to look at them at eye level. She exchanged glances with Ruan Chengru first, and then spread her hands to Zhou Jun: "Zhou Jun, don't be afraid, I'm the only one, I didn't bring anything, really."
It seems that because of the unexpected comfort, the knife in Zhou Jun's hand became unstable in these two sentences of "don't be afraid".
He looked at Ruan Yu with red eyes: "You, what are you doing up here..."
The invisible earphone in Ruan Yu's ear sent her an instruction: "Tell him, you trust him."
She immediately connected: "I'll trust you."
Zhou Jun's eyes flickered for a moment, but then quickly dimmed: "No one will believe me. When the prosecutor gets the DNA comparison, no one will believe me..."
Ruan Yu frowned.
The voice of the negotiator came from the headset again: "Ask him why."
"Why?"
"The driving record is gone, the fingerprints belong to me, she..." His teeth chattered when he said this, "The piece of flesh under her nails is also mine, and my name was also on the phone call. What a coincidence It’s all too coincidental, all the evidence points to me, without monitoring, without witnesses, who would believe me?”
"In this case, why did you ask Huai Song for help?"
"Because I didn't kill people, I really didn't kill people!" His emotions became agitated again, "Can't Xu Huaisong's father turn black into white? He can help me... he can help me, right? ?”
Ruan Yu was startled by the mad look in his eyes.
But she still gritted her back teeth, and clenched the handrail of the ladder: "Zhou Jun, no one has the right to call black and white. The only thing that can decide black and white is black and white itself, and it can tell people whether it is black or not." It’s white, only the law. Just over a month ago, I was in the pain of being framed, but the law finally gave me innocence. It can also give you innocence, you have to believe it, okay?”
"I don't... I don't believe in the law, I don't trust the police... They're after me, they're all after me!"
"But the law believes in you!" Ruan Yu raised his voice a little, "When you don't believe in the law, the law still believes in you and believes that the suspect is innocent. If you didn't kill anyone, cooperate with the police to find the real culprit. Give her an explanation."
"The real murderer? Will there be a real murderer?" Zhou Jun suddenly smiled, "She had a fight with me halfway, and before we parted, she said that there must be a way to make me regret... This is how she made me regret, there is no real way Fierce, there is no real murderer at all!"
"There will be a real culprit. The police have ruled out the possibility of suicide. If it's not you, there must be someone else."
Ruan Yu stared closely at his eyes, with a hint of inductive tone, expressed the words from the earphone as naturally as possible: "Zhou Jun, tell me, is it possible that her last phone call was to you?" What? She said 'Help, let go of me, Zhou Jun', in fact, maybe she didn't mean 'let go of me, Zhou Jun', but 'Help me, Zhou Jun'... "
Zhou Jun's eyes revealed a bit of disbelief: "What did you say?"
Ruan Yu continued to induce: "You said you separated because of the quarrel, right? Maybe after you separated, she ran into the real culprit in a car, and because she knew you were the person closest to her, she called you for help."
"But when she was operating the mobile phone, due to the obstruction of the real murderer, she mistakenly dialed the number to her father, who was more than a hundred kilometers away. In fact, she was asking you for help, not asking you to let her go. This call cannot Prove you guilty..."
Zhou Jun froze on the spot with his mouth open, let go of his hand, and the fruit knife fell straight down, and there was an exclamation from the lingering crowd below.
The special police hidden at the back of the house quickly climbed up to the roof and stepped forward to subdue him.
Ruan Yu's legs softened all of a sudden, and with a muffled "boom", his knee hit the railing.
At the same time, the ladder moved closer to the roof, and the firefighters who were close to her stepped forward to take her down, and then went to pick up Ruan Chengru.
When the ladder was slowly descending, Ruan Yu turned his head and glanced in the direction of the flat roof.
There, Zhou Jun knelt on the ground, tears streaming down his fingers.
He covered his face and kept repeating a sentence: "She didn't take death for me, she didn't take death for me..."
The arrest operation was successful, but at this moment, the stone in Ruan Yu's heart did not fall, but the more he was blocked, the more uncomfortable he became.
It turned out that Zhou Jun had mistakenly thought that the deceased was planning to use his own death to create a series of evidence to revenge him, so he escaped.
So, even if he walked out of the court as an innocent person in the future, how should he continue to live in self-blame and remorse
Such a missed opportunity, such a separation between heaven and man forever.
The suspect was brought to justice, and the scene completely returned to calm after half an hour.
Remembering Xu Huaisong, Ruan Yu called Li Shican and heard that she had been sent back to Su City by Liu Mao under the remote arrangement of Xu Huaisong.
She then sent another message to Xu Huaisong to report that she was safe, then left in a hurry and followed the police to make notes.
Ruan Chengru and Qu Lan were sent to the hospital by the medical staff for a physical examination, and it was confirmed that they were not injured.
The three of them were sent back safely by the police car, it was already after four o'clock in the afternoon.
When he entered the house, he saw that the mother and daughter were still in shock, Ruan Chengru smiled and said: "Oh, people who don't know see you like this, and think I haven't been rescued!"
"You old man, what nonsense are you talking about?" Qu Lan slapped him fiercely.
"Even if I'm blind, it's not dumb. I'm not allowed to speak?"
Ruan Yu embraced his father with his left hand and his mother with his right, trying to persuade the fight: "Oh, come on, stop arguing! It's a big holiday, what shall we have for dinner?"
She deliberately avoided the afternoon's farce while talking, but Ruan's parents and Ruan's mother could tell that she hadn't slowed down yet, pretending to be relaxed.
Qu Lan said: "I know you're coming, I bought a lot of vegetables, so I'll make them for you."
"Forget it, don't worry about it, I want to eat instant noodles." Ruan Yu grinned, and pushed her and Ruan Chengru back to the room, "You guys rest for a while, I will beat eggs and noodles at five o'clock, I will go back to the room to make noodles now Oh, a phone call."
Ruan Chengru glanced at her: "Who are you calling? Xiao Xu? He's in San Francisco, and it's already past one o'clock in the morning!"
"I know..." Ruan Yu pouted.
"Oh, you old man," Qu Lan glanced at Ruan Chengru, "What's wrong at one o'clock in the morning? It's two o'clock three o'clock four o'clock, so we have to answer Yu Yu's phone call!"
"That's it!" Ruan Yu returned to the room with his mobile phone, leaned against the door and dialed Xu Huaisong's voice.
At this moment, she remembered what he said to her on the phone at noon today.
He didn't teach her exactly how to solve the predicament, he just told her that she must trust the police as she trusted him.
He is a lawyer, not a god or a superhero. At this time, only by trusting and actively cooperating with the police can we solve the problem.
He said that if the police took her to the scene, they didn't ask her to save her parents, but instead asked her to save Zhou Jun. Once a kidnapping incident occurs, the police must be sure to rescue the hostages, but it may be on the premise of killing the suspect.
She exists to protect the suspect.
So, she doesn't have to be afraid of suspects.
The voice was connected within two seconds, and Ruan Yu muttered in a long voice: "Xu Huaisong..."
Because in the hospital late at night, Xu Huaisong's voice was very low, so it sounded very gentle. He asked: "Why, once I became a heroine, I changed from Huai Song to Xu Huai Song?"
He was joking to ease her exhaustion and fear. Although Ruan Yu couldn't laugh, he was very pleased with his voice: "Well, say a few more words."
"say what?"
"whatever."
"whatever?"
At a time like this, shouldn't "Sweetie" come and comfort her
Ruan Yu lost his patience and urged: "Yes, tell me quickly."
Xu Huaisong smiled: "Didn't I say that? What's the matter?"
"Hey, can't you hear it?" Ruan Yu sighed, "I missed you."
