monologue

"Jiao Feng and Hu Jieying have three mutual friends, Hu Jieying's girlfriend, Jiao Feng and Hu Jieying's class monitor, and a university teacher. These people are all in this city. Hu Jieying died at the end of last year. They said that in the past six months they I haven't even contacted Jiao Feng."

"I haven't contacted you yet? Do any of these people live in Zhijiang District?" Xia Ci asked.

Lang Lang said: "There is one, the teacher of that class."

Xia Ci immediately said: "Bring that teacher over here, and I'll ask him if the Zhijiang District Business Office gave him a card by the way when he canceled his card."

"Ah?" Bai Yao looked at Lang Lang hesitantly, and Lang Lang nodded, "Buy one get one free package, regular business in the business hall."

Half an hour later, Liu Lin was invited to the interrogation room of the Public Security Bureau. Liu Lin is 38 years old and currently a college Chinese teacher at Zhijiang College.

"Liu Lin, confession is lenient, and resistance is stricter. Article 310 of the Criminal Law, who knowingly provides a hiding place or property for a person who has committed a crime, helps him escape, or uses a false certificate to cover him, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention or public surveillance. ; if the circumstances are serious, you shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. I will read the sentencing standard for you first, and then you can consider whether to tell the truth."

"You have already asked me before, and I have told you that I haven't contacted Jiao Feng and Hu Jieying for a long time." Liu Lin was unmoved, without the slightest sign of panic.

"I guessed that you had to say that, did you cancel a phone card? Registered a new one with your ID card?"

Lang Lang turned his head stiffly to look at Xia Ci, Xia Ci ignored Lang Lang, and heard Liu Lin say: "Yes".

Xia Ci continued to ask him: "Where's the phone card?"

"lost."

"Why did you lose it?"

"Too much in arrears."

"This is the bill and receipt presented by the business hall. That number is still full. The number you canceled belongs to Jiao Feng, and the registered number is still for him. Let me ask you, where is he now?" Xia Ci asked the business hall The printed receipt was placed on the desk.

Liu Lin just glanced at the receipt, gritted his teeth and said, "The card is still at my house. As for Jiao Feng, we have not been in touch for a long time."

Bai Yao sat at the desk anxiously waiting for the results of Xia Ci and Lang Lang's interrogation, when the phone on the desk rang, Bai Yao saw a familiar name, Hu Hanying's editor, the police had contacted this editor several times before , The relationship between him and Hu Hanying is only a cooperative relationship, and there is almost no personal relationship other than that. Hu Hanying is rather weird, and the editor and him only communicate at work.

After Bai Yao answered the phone, the other party provided her with an important clue.

Lang Lang turned his pen, looking at the transcript, dumbfounded, so she said: "We will check and check every time and event you mentioned now, and there will always be one that is wrong. We don't think that one Jiaofeng can make the whole Zhijiang District Cover him."

Liu Lin seemed determined to spend the rest of his life with Xia Ci and the others. No matter what Lang Lang asked him, he just shook his head and remained silent.

Bai Yao stood outside the interrogation room and knocked on the glass. Lang Lang turned to look at her. Bai Yao pointed to the mobile phone in his hand. Lang Lang motioned for her to come in. After Bai Yao opened the door and came in, he said a few words to Lang Lang , and then went out again.

After Bai Yao left, Lang Lang closed the notebook in front of him, put the pen in his hand on the table, and asked Liu Lin with a smile on his face, "Do you like writing?"

Liu Lin replied: "It's okay."

Lang Lang asked again: "Have you read Hu Hanying's book?"

Liu Lin hesitated for a moment this time, Xia Ci patted the table next to him, telling him to tell the truth.

"Seen."

"Have you seen Hu Hanying's editor?"

"I have seen."

Every time Lang Lang asked a question, Liu Lin's eyes began to wander. Perhaps the temperature in the interrogation room was too high, and the back of Liu Lin's shirt was soaked with sweat.

"Do you know Hu Hanying?"

Liu Lin suddenly arched his back and held hands anxiously, many beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

"No, I don't know." Liu Lin's voice was not as calm as before.

"You read Hu Hanying's book, and you also came up with the idea of ​​writing. Later, you came to know that Hu Jieying is Hu Hanying's sister, so you tried every means to get close to her. In order not to make Hu Jieying suspicious, you first became friends with Jiao Feng, and then became acquainted with Hu Jieying. After getting up, I got my wish and met Hu Hanying. You thought that an ordinary person like him could be a writer. You have been a Chinese teacher for so many years, so you should write better than him, so you went to Hu Hanying with the manuscript you wrote. editor, but your manuscript did not pass the review and was returned. Since then, your admiration for Hu Hanying has changed from admiration to jealousy and resentment. After learning that Jiao Feng killed Hu Hanying, you feel shrouded in The shadow over my head disappeared."

Xia Ci looked at Lang Lang with eyes of admiration, and Lang Lang glared at Xia Ci. Xia Ci perfectly performed the expression of "worship" just now, whether Liu Lin could see it or not, the case was already clear.

"I didn't think about killing him, I was just jealous, and I didn't either, why can't I if he can? My writing is no worse than his...I..." Hearing Lang Lang's words, Liu Lin suddenly became incoherent, emotional It fluctuates a lot and the eyes are red.

"Where's Jiao Feng? Where is he now?" Xia Ci asked sharply.

"Let's go. He left when you were looking for me in the morning. He said he would never come back after leaving. Before he left, he had to visit someone." Liu Lin said in a broken voice.

Lang Lang told his secret. He felt that he was being bullied, and the sins hidden in his heart were revealed. He was jealous of Hu Hanying, and he was afraid and jealous from the bottom of his heart.

Xia Ci and Lang Lang hurried out of the interrogation room. Xia Ci immediately arranged for the police to let Lang Lang take a group of people to the station, and he himself took a group of people to Hu Jieying's cemetery.

Bai Yao stayed in the bureau, Zhao Chen and another comrade Jiang Qingshan were in charge of checking the residents on the sixth floor, and Bai Yao received his call.

Zhao Chen asked the property manager, because the property management company has regulations not to disclose the information and privacy of the residents, Zhao Chen coaxed, lied and threatened, and the property manager had no choice but to say so.

The second house on the east end of the sixth floor is the house rented by the person Xia Ci met twice. After learning about the tenant’s rental information, Zhao Chen hurriedly called back to the bureau. At this time, Xia Ci and Lang Lang went to arrest Jiao Feng. So Bai Yao went to find Zhao Chen.

Zhao Chen talked with the property manager. There are three families on the sixth floor, and the other two have not been lived in for a long time, so only that person lives on the sixth floor.

"I asked, that Zheng Shan moved in a year ago, and the property management company has asked for home inspections many times this year, but he refused all of them, because he pays his quarterly rent and utility bills on time, and the property management company is also in trouble. I don't care about this." Zhao Chen and Bai Yao sat in the milk tea shop outside the community, drinking milk tea and observing the people passing by the window.

"Hasn't gone in once? Is this person so withdrawn?" Bai Yao asked.

The temperature of the air conditioner in the milk tea shop is moderate. The more Zhao Chen thinks about it, the more his back feels cold. He recalls what he mentioned to another owner that time. From this point of view, only Zheng Shan lived on the sixth floor. The owner saw it strangely. Isn't Zheng Shan the only person in the house?

"Xiaobai, just stare here. Zheng Shan's photo is here." Zhao Chen took out a photo from his jacket pocket, put it on the table and pushed it in front of Bai Yao, "I'll find a way to go to the sixth floor to have a look."

"I'll go with you!" Bai Yao said immediately, and Zhao Chen quickly pressed her arm, "Don't, I have to do this kind of publicity, or Team Chu keeps saying that I just eat and don't do fake tricks. .”

Then Bai Yao watched Zhao Chen push open the door and go out in high spirits. When he got to the door, he kicked down the carpet spread in front of the milk tea shop. He bent down to pick it up and spread it back to the original place. Fu Er, maybe only Sister Lang is normal in this team.

Zhao Chen and Jiang Qingshan walked to the sixth floor together. Zhao Chen was wearing the clothes of a property maintenance worker. The two walked to the fifth floor. Zhao Chen took out a piece of copper wire from his overalls. Jiang Qingshan was in front. Finding Zhao Chen lying on the door of a household on the fifth floor, Jiang Qingshan asked suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"Let me see how many levels of locks they use. I can open the A level in seconds, but the C level will take a while." Zhao Chen straightened up and walked to Jiang Qingshan, and then the two went to the sixth floor up.

The sixth floor is very empty, even a bit gloomy. Zhao Chen doesn't quite understand how this floor looks like a haunted house. It seems that the cleaners don't often come up to clean it.

Jiang Qingshan stood at the top of the stairs and watched the wind. Zhao Chen found Zheng Shan's house by counting the house number. They were sure that Zheng Shan had gone out. Zhao Chen bent the copper wire into a small hook, tried it on the door lock, and found a Serious problem, so he called Jiang Qingshan, and the two of them showed embarrassment at the lock.

"The property doesn't have a key for his lock, right? This person's self-repairing lock cylinder technology is really top-notch!" Zhao Chen didn't know whether he refused to admit defeat or admired the person who changed the lock.

Zhao Chen's ears moved.

Zheng Shan, wearing an old hat and gray shirt, came up from downstairs. There was a voice in the corridor. His footsteps paused, and he heard someone say: "If the owner of this house doesn't come back, this house can be lived by spiders." .”

"That's right. The last time I came here for inspection was three months ago. If the water pipe is broken, everyone downstairs will suffer. That's why I asked you to come and check it."

Zheng Shan saw a man in maintenance work clothes opening the door opposite his house, and another man in trousers, leather shoes and a white shirt stood aside.

"I reckon that the lock in his house has to be changed too. If it's not kept properly after a long time, it will be stolen!"

"Hey, the owner of this house said when he left that there is nothing valuable in the house, just a few pieces of furniture. If the thief can move it away, he will be very capable hahaha."

While talking, the door was already opened, Zhao Chen and Jiang Qingshan went in one after the other, there was a sound of kicking and stomping from the entrance, Jiang Qingshan said: "This needs to be cleaned, there is dust everywhere, first look Pipes and gates."

"Okay!" Jiang Qingshan closed the door gently after entering.

Zhao Chen and Jiang Qingshan stood on both sides of the door, and they looked at each other. Jiang Qingshan said with his mouth: "Didn't you say that he left? Why is he back?"

Zhao Chen replied: "It doesn't rule out that he forgot to bring something when he went out!"

Both of them were thinking about how to go out as if nothing had happened, without disturbing Zheng Shan. About a minute later, they heard the sound of the opposite door closing.

Zhao Chen looked around, and turned a corner from the entrance corridor to the living room. The decoration of this house is quite good, but it is a pity that there are no people. There are short corridors on the east and west sides of the living room. Lying, in front of the living room is the dining room, after passing the dining room is the kitchen, Zhao Chen found a stainless steel knife for cutting vegetables in the kitchen cabinet, took the knife and knocked on the iron water pipe under the sink, knocking intermittently for about 2 minutes , Jiang Qingshan helped him create a lot of noise.

Zhao Chen leaned on the stove, raised his voice and said, "Fortunately, I came here today! The gate is loose! If the water seeps in, the pipes will rust!"

"I came here to fix this for you!"

The two stayed in the room for a few more minutes. Jiang Qingshan went out first, and stood in the middle of Zheng Shan's house with his back facing. Zhao Chen held a bunch of keys in his hand, and a wire hook was clamped inside the bunch of keys. After Zhao Chen locked the door, he talked to Jiang Qingshan and left.

At this time, the eyes in the cat's eyes on Zheng Shan's house slowly disappeared.
