Dazed

Because there was no direct evidence to prove that Zhou Xianlei had something to do with Liang Siyue's disappearance, he still sat in a relatively free interrogation room without railings, just a table, and talked directly face to face.

Liu Peisheng pushed open the door, nodded to Zhang Quan who was sitting next to him and was about to take notes, then raised his chin, and carefully looked at the decaying old man in front of him, but no matter how strict he was, Zhou Xianlei always looked like that. Eyes half closed, trying to sleep or not, looking very sleepy.

The interrogation room was silent, and the faint confrontation between the two sides filled the small room. After a long time, Liu Peisheng spoke first and asked, "Has Liang Siyue been to your house on the night of the 3rd?"

Zhou Xianlei nodded, and obediently replied: "I have been."

"Why didn't you tell me when I asked you earlier?"

"I don't want to get into trouble."

"Do you not want to cause trouble or are you afraid of being discovered?" Liu Peisheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did she go to your place?"

"He asked me if the dead woman had anything to do with me, and I said no, and she asked me if I had contacted her aunt, and I said no, and then she left."

"About what time did it arrive at your place, and what time did it leave?"

"It's about six o'clock in the afternoon. I don't remember what time it is. I left after seven o'clock."

"She stayed with you for an entire hour, and she only said these few words?" Liu Peisheng showed a suspicious look.

Zhou Xianlei raised his eyelids, rubbed his lips, and returned: "I also said something about business. She asked me what the top said, how much was paid, and whether I could still receive dividends. I said I am a Still in contact, anyway, that’s all, in the end she told me that she didn’t want to do it anymore, and asked me to introduce her to a job, but I refused.”

"Are you persuading her to keep going?"

"I've been caught by you, how can I go on? I don't want to do it myself. I have nothing to persuade her to do. I just chatted with her casually."

"How can you do it casually? Please repeat your original conversation carefully."

"I can only remember the general content of what happened four or five days ago, but I can't remember the specifics." Zhou Xianlei replied slowly, "I don't have a good memory."

"You can say as much as you can."

"That's what I just said."

Liu Peisheng looked at the white-haired, wrinkled man in his 50s who looked like he was in his late [-]s, and sternly knocked on the table, saying, "Zhou Xianlei, you keep concealing the truth over and over again. A non-cooperative attitude is very suspicious."

Zhou Xianlei looked at Liu Peisheng, and said a little rascally: "Who do you think would not want to find Liang Siyue sooner? She disappeared and I made a lot of messes, but I really don't remember."

Seeing that the other party was playing tricks, Liu Peisheng did not pursue the question, but instead changed the subject and asked, "It seems that you have a twin brother, Zhou Zhengqi, right?"

Zhou Xianlei's nose twitched suddenly when he heard this, he raised his drooping left eyelid, said "um", and said dejectedly, "I've been missing for many years."

"Do you remember when you disappeared?"

"Does he have anything to do with this matter?" Zhou Xianlei didn't see any changes on his face, his cloudy eyeballs hid all kinds of small things that flashed quickly in his heart, making it difficult to see his true face.

Liu Peisheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "It's okay not to ask? Or did you forget?"

"Ten years ago, I have a bad memory, you know that." Zhou Xianlei looked at Liu Peisheng, made some calculations in his mind, and answered truthfully.

"Then where did he disappear in the first place, you should remember that, right?"

"I don't know where he is. He has been living in my hometown. I didn't contact him when I came here to work, and I don't know when he disappeared."

"Didn't you write down the day when your brother disappeared?"

Zhou Xianlei smiled, "Remember what you did when he disappeared, and remember the day when he came back."

"You never thought that he might die, so the day of his disappearance is the anniversary of his death. As a younger brother, have you never paid homage to him?"

Hearing Liu Peisheng's question, Zhou Xianlei's eyes flickered, his lips rubbed slightly, and he replied, "I haven't thought about it, I just think he must be living somewhere, and we brothers haven't been in touch."

"Then why didn't you go back to your hometown for more than ten years when he disappeared? Didn't you think that one day he might go back to look for you and not find you?"

"He knows the address of my school. If he wants to find me, he will definitely be able to find me." Zhou Xianlei looked at the middle-aged man with sharp eyes in front of him, not sure how much he knew. Why is this?"

Liu Peisheng looked at him calmly, as if he was weighing the weight of his words, the atmosphere was inexplicably tense, suddenly he twitched the corner of his mouth, and said casually: "Recently, a homeless man was caught in the bureau, and he said it was from your house. He came here to look for relatives and friends, but he refused to let us send him back, so I wondered if it happened to be your brother."

Zhou Xianlei twitched his eyebrows, opened his mouth and said, "That's quite possible, can I see you?"

"Okay," Liu Peisheng's sharp eyes didn't let go of Zhou Xianlei's sudden relief when he heard his answer, so he nodded and said, "It just so happens that the question here is almost the same. Come with me to the next door and see Is it your brother?"

Zhou Xianlei didn't reply, but just nodded his head. He looked very calm and calm, and looked at the whole person's state, and it didn't look like he had suffered any blows. A death case was involved around him, a In the disappearance case, it doesn't seem that there is anything abnormal about him. I'm afraid this is the biggest abnormality.

Liu Peisheng thought of Liang Siyue's boyfriend, who came up to inquire about the situation from time to time, and felt that the situation was not good. How to open Zhou Xianlei might be the most important gap. He greeted the colleagues around him, then glanced at Zhou Xianlei, and said, "Follow me." bring it on."

Zhou Xianlei stood up slowly, hunched over, his bony appearance looked innocent, and followed Liu Peisheng out of the interrogation room without saying anything.

Qi Zheng and Cao Jingxing came to the police station by taxi. It has been snowing heavily recently, and the snow on the ground is very heavy. It is very inconvenient for the bus to go, so naturally it is difficult to wait. Cao Jingxing is rich and powerful, and he did not discuss it with Qi Zheng. They stopped a taxi, and the two came to the gate of the police station together.

Qi Zheng didn't say anything all the way, and when Cao Jingxing made any move, he just glanced at him, and then continued to remain silent.

"Did the matter of Liang Siyue affect you so much?" Seeing Qi Zheng's change in temperament, Cao Jingxing smiled wryly and asked with concern.

"What do you think?" Qi Zheng replied without a good temper.

"At this time, the more impatient you are, the safer your opponent will be. Calm down, maybe you will find something different." Cao Jingxing was still calm and planning.

Qi Zheng frowned, turned to look at him, and said, "Do you have any good suggestions?"

"For example, think about how you will tell them what you found later."

"what do you mean?"

"It can't be said that we sneaked into someone's house." Cao Jingxing blinked and said with a smile.

Qi Zheng understood, raised his eyebrows, and said, "We only walked around the yard a few times."

"clever."

The two walked and chatted, and when they entered the room, Qi Zheng wanted to find Officer Liu whom he was more familiar with. He turned around and saw Officer Liu's subordinate, Aaron, who also saw them. Qi Zheng often went to the bureau these days to ask Liang Siyue to find him He was no longer surprised by what was going on, and went up to meet him, saying: "It's still in progress, don't be so anxious."

Qi Zheng looked at this tall, dark-skinned young man, frowned, and said, "I have something else to say today, about Zhou Xianlei."

"What?" Aaron looked curiously at the two calm faces, and said, "What did you find?"

"Is Officer Liu there?" Cao Jingxing intervened and asked.

Aaron said "Oh" and said, "He's asking Zhou Xianlei something, wait a minute." After he finished speaking, he turned around and looked around, just in time to see the two people who came out of the interrogation room, and said, "Where are they?" Woolen cloth."

Qi Zheng and Cao Jingxing looked up and saw that Liu Peisheng was walking towards them, followed by Zhou Xianlei.

Zhou Xianlei, who was following Liu Peisheng, still lowered his head and looked silent. When he heard Aaron yelling, he also looked up. However, when his eyes shifted to the calmly standing A certain "person" in front suddenly opened his eyes wide, his heart beat faster, his eyes were full of surprise, and he stood there in a daze, unable to even take a step, and muttered uncontrollably: "How can it be?!"

Liu Peisheng looked at the sudden change in the expression of the man beside him in surprise, and suddenly turned to Qi Zheng and Cao Jingxing, not quite understanding why.

At this moment, Aaron brought the two of them up, standing in the long and narrow aisle, surrounded by the noise of the police working, Zhou Xianlei suppressed his rapid breathing, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he was stuck in an unbearable state. in a confident state.

"Teacher Zhou, long time no see." Cao Jingxing slightly parted his lips and looked at the old man with a smile, but his eyes were calm.

Both Qi Zheng and Liu Peisheng were surprised by Cao Jingxing's sudden greeting, but looking at Zhou Xianlei's appearance, they felt that the situation was even more bizarre.

Zhou Xianlei, who had been stiff for a long time, moved his Adam's apple vigorously, and finally made a sound from the depth of his dry coughing throat, and replied hoarsely: "It's been a long time."

Liu Peisheng looked at this weird teacher and student with doubts, and ordered Aaron neatly, saying: "Aaron, take him to recognize the homeless man and see if he is his brother." The wink made Arondo stare at the man's reaction.

Aaron nodded clearly, his eyes responded to Liu Peisheng's wink, and said, "Okay."

Zhou Xianlei was taken away first, leaving Liu Peisheng, Qi Zheng, and Cao Jingxing here. Liu Peisheng always has a sense of presence in this, and Cao Jingxing, who always followed Qi Zheng to the police station, was very interested. Going to his desk, he asked, "Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"Has there been any progress with Siyue?" Qi Zheng asked.

Liu Peisheng shook his head and said, "It's almost time, we've got some reliable clues."

"Yesterday, the two of us went to Mr. Zhou's house and wanted to ask him if he had seen Siyue, but he was not there when we arrived, so the two of us walked around the yard and found a special place."

"We can just investigate the matter of Liang Siyue's disappearance. What are you messing around with?" Liu Peisheng dissatisfied, and then asked curiously: "What did you find?"

"It has been snowing heavily for the past few days, and it is covered with snow everywhere, but the cabbage field planted by Zhou Xianlei has clean roots and no snow at all. I suspect he has turned it over."

Liu Peisheng narrowed his eyes and said, "When did you find out?"

"Just last night."

"What time is it?"

"Seven or eight o'clock."

Liu Peisheng nodded, and said: "I see, you go back first, we will definitely investigate this matter to the end."

"I hope you can hurry up." Qi Zheng said, his eyes flickered, and he said heavily: "She can't wait for Siyue."

Liu Peisheng sighed and said, "We will definitely do our best."

When Qi Zheng and Cao Jingxing left, Liu Peisheng shouted, called two assistants, and said, "Call Aaron again, take the tools that can dig holes, and go to Zhou Xianlei's house."

Zhang Qishen's eyes widened, he was a little surprised by the boss's resoluteness, and said, "There is a clue here."

"Stop talking nonsense, work quickly!" Liu Peisheng scolded, then took the tools and walked ahead, saying: "Where is Aaron, is Aaron back yet?"

"He's still next door," one replied.

"Tell him to find me at Zhou Xianlei's house when he comes back later." Liu Peisheng ordered.

"Row."

Zhang Qishen followed behind, a little anxious, and said, "Captain Liu, have you got a search warrant? Last time we were punished for beheading first and playing second, but don't..."

Liu Peisheng turned his head and gave him a sideways glance, and said, "Since when did you worry so much and be so capable, the captain will be replaced by you?"

"No, no, am I thinking of you?" Zhang Qishen quickly put on a flattering smile, everyone knows that Team Liu's violent temper, if he doesn't help stop him, Liu Peisheng might be punished one day Well, then he won't be able to keep up with such a leader, so he is naturally very concerned.

Liu Peisheng reckoned that Zhou Xianlei was a little confused by what he said about his brother, so he probably didn't do anything like that. He wanted a search warrant, and it only took an afternoon, so he said, "You and the bald head go to Zhou Xianlei's house first. Squatting at the door, please tell me in time if there is any abnormality, I will go to Director Fu first, and wait for my instructions."

"Okay!" Zhang Qishen looked at Liu Peisheng, answered seriously, then called the man beside him, and left first. Liu Peisheng patted his forehead, turned around, and walked towards the deputy director's office.
