Chapter 5 Suspects

As soon as Shen Gu entered the investigation office, Tang Xin posted it up, holding a small yellow paper bag in her hand, and said to him with a smile, "Brother Shen, you are here, hey, I specially left it for you."

Shen Gu didn't answer, glanced at her, and asked in a very puzzled manner: "The psychiatrist has been invited?"

"No, we just finished our work." Tang Xin shook her head, and very patiently stuffed the small paper bag into his hand, "It's still hot, eat while it's hot!"

Shen Gu held it in one hand, and put two fingers out of the other hand to keep the bag open and looked in. It was Rongjitang's crab roe shell biscuits.

Rongjitang Dedao Crab Shell Yellow Biscuit is famous for its deliciousness.There are many fillings, the layers are crispy, oily but not greasy, and the mouth is full of fragrance.And it is also sold in limited quantities, half a palm-sized cake, only one hundred pieces are sold a day, and it is sold three times in the morning, afternoon and evening. Every time, there is a long queue at the entrance of Rongji Hall, all for this bite.The delicious and crispy crab shell yellow biscuits will be eaten within 2 minutes of being out of the pan.

Shen Gu likes the sweet and salty taste, and the salty and spicy taste.

Famously liked.

"Brother Shen, let's continue. This little girl lined up at the back and fed money to the people in front one by one. Half a month's salary is probably gone. It's hard for others to give her the last two. I don't have any money." I'm willing to take a bite, I'll leave it all to you." Old Chen looked at the pitiful Tang Xin and couldn't help laughing to help.

Shen Gu was just thinking about the case, so he didn't eat a few mouthfuls at his dinner table.I didn't feel hungry at first, but now when I opened the bag, the scent wafted into my nose, and I felt hungry immediately.So I couldn't help but pushed the cake out of the bag and put it in my mouth, took a bite, then patted Tang Xin's hair in satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Thank you! I just didn't have enough at noon! "

After speaking, he raised his legs and walked around her and went straight to Luo Qian's office.

Tang Xin blushed immediately, and while saying "You're welcome", she ran towards Li Xiao, grabbed Li Xiao's arm and danced.

"Nympho!" Li Xiao let go of her arms and gave her a blank look.

Before Shen Gu took two steps, he heard Fang Ge shouting from behind: "Hurry up and inform Team Luo, the doctor is here!"

Hearing the sound, he turned around abruptly, and put the remaining crab shell yellow biscuits into his mouth.

At this time Luo Qian just came out of the office, saw him devouring his food, poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Shen Gu took the water and poured it directly into his mouth, then threw the paper cup and bag of cakes in his hand into the trash can on the right.

Luo Qian ordered: "Fangge, take him directly to the interrogation room!"

Obviously it was too late, before he could finish his sentence, two little policemen brought a person in.

Shen Gu looked towards the opposite side, the doctor was wearing a white shirt, the corners of which were half-tucked into black trousers, he was very clean and simple, but his appearance was not simple.

It may be because of staying in the hospital all year round, that person's skin is very fair, almost transparent when facing the light, Shen Gu feels that this whiteness looks a little sick.

When he walked in, the sunlight outside the house disappeared, and Shen Gu met his eyes.

His eyes are large, but mostly white, and the color of the eyeballs is light, a bit like light amber, so it looks a little hollow in the big eye sockets.

There is a small tear mole at the corner of the right eye, very shallow, it must be blurry if you don't pay attention.

Coupled with the pale complexion, there is an inexplicable sense of strangeness.

Looking closely under the light, the hair is not that pure black, with a dark brown hue.

His facial features are very three-dimensional, especially the nose is very straight, the lower lip is slightly thicker than the upper lip, and the lip beads are more obvious. If it is not for the softer jawline, such a combination of facial features must appear very cold, full of "stranger" Stay away."

But I have to admit that this is a beautiful man, and a handsome man with a cold temperament.

"So handsome," Tang Xin whispered beside her.

Li Xiao pinched her arm: "Hey, is your elder brother Shen handsome or is he handsome?"

When mentioning Shen Gu, Tang Xin suddenly "woke up", "Of course my brother Shen is more handsome! This guy is so handsome, he looks like the Grim Reaper in the comics, I'm afraid!"

Li Xiao rolled his eyes: "Are you still afraid? I look at you as if you are going to swallow someone up!"

On the one hand, Luo Qian stepped forward a long time ago and said to one of the policemen beside the man:

"Xiaobai, ask Mr. Doctor to sit 'inside' and pour him a glass of water."

Of course the policeman named Xiaobai knew what "inside" was referring to, he nodded in response, and led the man to the interrogation room.

For some reason, Shen Gu always felt that the man deliberately stopped for half a second when he passed by him.

The meaning is unknown and cannot be guessed.

He closed his eyes, turned and followed to the interrogation room.

As soon as he opened the door and sat down, Fang Ge came in with a plate of tomato scrambled eggs, fish-flavored shredded pork and a bowl of rice, and placed them in front of him.

Just as he was about to ask, Fang Ge explained with a smile: "Captain Luo figured that Brother Shen might not have eaten, so he asked me to bring it."

Shen Gu tilted his head, "Why, don't say that I violated the law and discipline this time, and ate in the interrogation room?"

Fangge heyed twice: "Team Luo said, brother Shen is not a member of our government agency, nor does he receive a salary from the state, so there is no violation of law or discipline."

Eloquent and eloquent, understands the overall situation and makes progress.

Shen Gu nodded in satisfaction, suddenly remembered something, turned around and pointed to the doctor opposite him at the tomato scrambled eggs in front of him, "Why don't you have some too?"

The words were meant to be polite, but I didn't expect that the doctor was brought to the bureau in a hurry just after his appointment. He was really hungry after not eating, so he nodded to Shen Gu and said unceremoniously, "Thank you!"

Those empty eyes unexpectedly bent, bringing out a beautiful arc, and the stern facial features suddenly softened.

Shen Gu's hands that were holding the chopsticks to prepare the rice trembled violently as if being electrocuted, and one of the chopsticks jumped out of the table like a seesaw.

Even the words from his mouth jumped out:

"You heard me, go and bring in a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Mr. Doctor, and bring me another pair of chopsticks by the way."

Where had Fangge seen such an "interrogation" before? After staying for a long time, he finally came to his senses, let out an "ah", and hurried out.

Now, only Shen Gu and the doctor were left in the huge interrogation room.

The two looked at each other.

Shen Gu coughed, "Why don't we have a brief chat first?"

Without waiting for the man to answer, he pushed the cup in front of him towards the man opposite: "You don't have to be nervous"

The water in the glass rippled slightly.

The doctor held the cup with his pale and bony hand and said, "Thank you!"

The voice is clear and crisp, with a hint of warmth.

"What's your name?"

"Should stop the source, stop the stop, the source of the source"

"Oh, Doctor Zhiyuan, I'm sorry for the poor hospitality for the first meeting!"

Ying Zhiyuan was stunned.

Some people called him Dr. Ying, some called him Mr. Ying, or just called him by his first name. No one called him in such a half-literal, half-close and half-estranged way.

Also, listening to his tone of voice, I felt as if I had not stepped into a police station, but into someone's home.

Shen Gu flicked his fingers casually: "We invite you to come here, just want to get to know your friend briefly."

"Okay, I will fully cooperate if there is anything that needs help." Ying Zhiyuan straightened his body, turned his head slightly forward and asked Shen Gu unhurriedly, "Which one of my friends has something wrong?" ?”

Shen Gu's deep eyes suddenly met his light brown eyes, and the movement of his hands stopped: "Qiao Qiao, do you know him?"

"Well, I know"

"A close relationship?"

"His mother sponsored me when I was in college."

"Oh, that's kindness." Shen Gu withdrew his sharp eyes, "Did you talk to Qiao Qiao on the phone at past seven o'clock last night?"

"Yeah." Ying Zhiyuan picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

"Can you tell me what you guys talked about?"

"Yesterday, on Valentine's Day, she invited me out for dinner at nine o'clock."

"You didn't go?"

"No, I was waiting for her at the appointed place at nine o'clock, but I didn't answer her phone call. It happened that the appointed place was near her home, so I went to her home."

"Meet her?"

"No, she doesn't seem to be at home. Later, I called her and she never answered. Finally, I contacted her agent. Her agent sent me a text message saying that she had an appointment tonight. Then I went home."

"Wait" Shen Gu paused, "You mean she let you go and dated someone else?"

"Maybe." Ying Zhiyuan added, "Qiao Qiao's job is quite special, and the itinerary plan is often uncontrollable. Since her manager said so..."

Shen Gu: "So you didn't continue to ask?"

"Um"

"Then..." Shen Gu took out the reassembled group photo. The photo was put in the evidence bag. He just went to Luo Qian's office, and he asked Luo Qian for it. "When was this photo taken?"

Ying Zhiyuan took the photo with surprise on his face, "How did this happen? Where did you find this?"

"In some trash can."

Ying Zhiyuan finally realized that something was wrong, "What's wrong, did something happen to Qiao Qiao?"

Shen Gu looked at the pale face of the person opposite, and when he was a little anxious, his mouth would be drawn into a line, like a cut in a piece of white paper.

"She... was killed," Shen Gu staggered his eyes, and his voice became low and deep, "My condolences."

After he finished speaking, there was no response, and there was an empty silence in the interrogation room.

He set his eyes on the face of the person opposite, strange, empty eyes, without any expression.

After about 15 seconds, he noticed that the hand of the person opposite was shaking the cup.

"Are you OK?"

Shen Gu stared at his hands.

You should stop the source and close your hands, and cross your hands and fingers.

"It's okay, that photo should have been a long time ago. It was my first time to work and get paid. Qiao Qiao insisted on celebrating. I took it during dinner."

He fixed his eyes on the table, and asked after a while: "Mr. Police, can you tell me the approximate time when Qiao Qiao was killed?"

"Of course, the forensic doctor concluded that it was about nine o'clock to ten o'clock last night."

"Is it"

He spoke in a trance, and his eyes were also in a trance, and he became even more lifeless.

"Why?" Shen Gu crossed his fingers and moved forward, his brain focused on him and said, "Why, did you remember something again?"

"Oh, no." He quickly pursed his lips, looked at Shen Gu with a little sincerity and said, "If I think of anything, I will tell you as soon as possible."

Shen Gu nodded: "Does Doctor Zhiyuan have anything else to ask?"

"No" should stop the source from saying.

Fangge outside the door looked at his watch. It was nearly 10 minutes since he left the interrogation room. He let out a long sigh of relief, knocked on the door and took the bowls and chopsticks in.

Ying Zhiyuan asked Shen Gu: "Mr. Police, can I go?"

Shen Gu didn't want to let him go, so he took the bowl and chopsticks from Fangge's hand and said with a smile, "Leave after dinner?"

His tone was very tough, and Ying Zhiyuan couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to take the bowl and chopsticks.

Perhaps it was because the food was very appetizing, and Shen Gu ate it with great relish, but the food didn't stop him from saying, "Is Dr. Zhiyuan busy in such a hurry?"

He asked casually, but the listeners were not casual.

"Not very busy." Ying Zhiyuan stroked his sleeves and looked at his watch, "It's just that it's almost time for work."

Shen Gu glanced at his watch and recognized his watch with just one glance.

A luxury brand gold watch, although the style is very old, probably more than ten years ago, but there are only two pieces of this watch in the world, and the other one is on the top of the third cabinet on the left side of Shen Musheng's study. in the drawer.

"It's okay, let a comrade drive you after dinner, it will be soon."

Shen Gu smiled while talking: "Doctor Zhiyuan is a nostalgic person."

"Oh, what about this?" Ying Zhiyuan rolled up his sleeves to hide the watch in the sleeves, and said flatly, "This is my mother's relic."

Shen Gu stopped holding the food with chopsticks, and spat out a low "Sorry" from his mouth.

Ying Zhiyuan shook his head and said it was okay.

The atmosphere was silent for a while, and both of them ate carefully.

Shen Gu was the first to break the deadlock, "Doctor Zhiyuan is so handsome, his salary should be quite high!"

Ying Zhiyuan almost choked: "Well, Mr. Police, most of my patients come to see the doctor, not me. The latest health survey shows that the mental health of residents in Ducheng is generally higher than that of residents in other areas, so my salary It's not very high, but it can still make ends meet."

Maybe it was because the dining atmosphere was good, or maybe it was the confusing conversation with Shen Gu. In short, he was different from the feeling of "stay away from strangers" that he gave when he first entered the police station. So make humor.

"Otherwise, I wouldn't rubbish Mr. Police's meal."

Ying Zhiyuan's cold jokes are not cold at all.

But Shen Gu smiled, and when he smiled, people felt very warm.

"I didn't expect Dr. Zhiyuan to be so humorous. When he joked, he came a bit like someone I know."

Ying Zhiyuan was not at all interested in what he said like XX, he just wanted to finish his meal and go back to work.

"Mr. Police, please eat slowly, thank you for the hospitality, there is nothing else to cooperate, I will go first!"

He stood up as he spoke, as if he was about to leave.

For the time being, Shen Gu couldn't think of a reason to keep him, so he could only let him go.

"Well, okay, let's get in touch again!"

Ying Zhiyuan petrified for two seconds.

It's better not to contact the police again.

As soon as the car that sent Ying Zhiyuan back left the police station compound, A Liang, a young comrade in the team, had already received Shen Gu's order and followed quietly.

Luo Qian asked him: "Brother Shen, do you doubt him?"

Shen Gu crossed his legs, resting his head on his arms and tilted his head on the small and poor sofa in Luo Qian's office: "I really doubt that, have you ever seen someone who can eat at the police station so calmly after hearing the news of his friend's death?" ?”

When it came to eating, Luo Qian thought of the lunch box that Fangge took away just now, and couldn't help but smile on his face: "Perhaps, the quality of psychologists is slightly better than that of ordinary people?"

Shen Gu did not answer him, but asked instead: "What is the identity of the deceased?"

Luo Qian was puzzled: "Actor!"

Shen Gu closed his eyes and snorted: "I thought about it, this deceased is not an ordinary person, she is a celebrity in the society, she is an actress, usually an actor's daily life is too much exposed to the camera, it is inevitable that he cherishes his leisure time more. Otherwise, she would not live in this high-end and relatively secluded community. Moreover, the work and rest time of actors is usually not fixed, so it is obvious that ordinary visitors must have communicated in advance, otherwise they would not go rashly."

Luo Qian suddenly realized: "Oh! You mean that the murderer is very likely to be one of the people who were booked?"

"I haven't made an appointment, so I can't be sure, but it is very likely that I have contacted the deceased or someone who knows the deceased's itinerary. But yesterday was Qixi Festival, so it seems more likely to contact the deceased directly!"

"According to what you said, the person who made the two calls before nine o'clock is suspected, so I think it is more likely that the murderer is the person who made the unknown call, because Ying Zhiyuan also said just now that the deceased had an appointment. He's not the only one, and that's why he didn't see the deceased last night."

"And," Luo Qian added, "the deceased's hair is not dry. You once said that a third party may have 'intervened' in the murderer's crime."

"But we don't know who the caller is for the other call." Shen Gu narrowed his eyes, "If the clue of 'the hair is not dry' and this unknown call are just to match what Ying Zhiyuan said today— — What about the deliberate perjury of another person who made an appointment with the deceased?”

If this is an elaborate murder, it is indeed not ruled out.

Shen Gu went on to say: "You have to know that once a flaw is revealed in the most perfect crime in the world, it must be fatal to the murderer. Therefore, in a real perfect crime, the murderer deliberately reveals the flaw. The murderer let you discover what was discovered on purpose, and he led you to the exit step by step, but everything was in his plan, it seemed that the exit was actually getting farther and farther away from finding the murderer."

Luo Qian frowned: "If that's the case, then this murderer is terrible."

Shen Gu: "But if that's the case, it makes sense for him to be so calm today."

Luo Qian stopped talking.

However, although Shen Gu said that he was sound on the surface, in fact, he was not very sure about this speculation in his heart.

Because Ying Zhiyuan lacks a motive for killing, at least for now.

The mother of the deceased once funded Yingzhiyuan.

No reason, nor should it.

No clues were found at the scene, and he was a little devastated.

He suddenly remembered the clues provided by Shen Jihe.

Qiao Qiao has a crush on a psychiatrist.

But I don't know if the psychiatrist is interested in her.

If so, it might all make sense.

Shen Gu patted his thigh excitedly: "Hurry up, send someone to investigate the relationship history of the deceased during his lifetime."

"Brother Shen, do you suspect it was a love killing?" Luo Qian asked.

Shen Gu replied: "It's possible. First, I got the news that the deceased should stop the source before he was alive, but I don't know if the news is true. Second, the two have known each other for a long time. We have known each other for so long, but we only found this A group photo was taken several years ago. There was no group photo in the deceased’s mobile phone. The mobile phone can understand it. After all, the deceased’s occupation is not ordinary. Maybe she pays more attention to personal privacy protection. But this is the only one at home... So, very Possibly unrequited love."

"If you've been pestered by someone you don't like all the year round... yes, it's possible." Luo Qian continued, "And this photo was taken out of the scene of the crime. It's indeed, a little strange."
