A charming and dangerous character

"...What? There is no monitoring at the scene?"

"Oh, there's a witness. OK, that's enough for me."

In the long corridor of the S City Police Station, two uniformed police officers walked quickly through.

The middle-aged policeman flipped through the file in his hand a few times, then closed it confidently, and stopped browsing: "Hey, let me tell you, is there a special shortage of people in our bureau right now?" Dressed so neatly, he tugged at the neckline and said, "How can such a simple case be assigned to me?"

The little policeman behind him immediately replied: "The director said that there are too many cases recently and there is not enough manpower, so I asked you to come out... But I heard that there seems to be helpers coming soon, so I can relax later."

The middle-aged policeman is usually in charge of criminal investigation and doesn't worry about the transfer of personnel. He just said: "This time I will do the chief a favor, but if there is another case like this in the future, remember to reject it for me directly. I have no energy at all."

The little policeman hastily nodded in response.Soon, a door appeared in front of the two of them.

At this time, the sun was setting and the sun was shining brightly outside. If you look down from the perspective of God, you will find that the S City Police Station and even the entire S City are covered with a layer of red light.

But all this is not as beautiful as an oil painting, but has a bloodthirsty feeling of licking a knife.

No one knows how the future will develop until the door is pushed open.

And fate, what kind of changes will be made at the moment of opening the door.

Snapped!

All the light switches were suddenly pressed, and the originally dark room seemed to be in the dark for a moment.

Under the cold and dazzling light, the man who had been sitting quietly for a long time was dazzled by the sudden bright light.

The angle was unbiased, as if it was specially prepared for him—then the macula of the eyeball was stimulated, and a large black shadow appeared in front of his eyes instantly.

Although his eyes were in a trance for a moment, the man's ears were still extremely sensitive to the sound of footsteps coming towards him.

Da, Da Lan Feng Da.

Through the uncoordinated footsteps, the man's brain automatically flashed a lot of information in a moment:

For example, there were two people who came in just now;

One of them took huge strides, and he had the aura of breaking the ground with a big horse and a golden sword; while the voice of the other was extremely soft, with an aura that was completely opposite to the former. If you don't listen carefully, you may completely ignore it.

The former breathes heavily, has hypertrophic turbinates and may suffer from rhinitis, and probably has a rough face; while the latter has even footing, is taller than the former, and looks average or better, but must be shy...

The man began to picture the two in his mind.

But before he could analyze more information, he heard the iron folding chair in front of the table being dragged by someone's hand, making a harsh "crash" sound on the concrete floor.

After the pupils contracted and his vision finally returned to normal, the man half-closed his eyes, allowing the eyeballs to be fully moistened by the stimulating fluid.

Afterwards, two figures gradually appeared in the clear field of vision.

As expected, the person standing in front of him was indeed a common master-student combination in the police station.

Among them, the middle-aged police officer, who was shorter than his neighbors but fatter, looked just as the man imagined.

The nose is wide, and there is uncut stubble on the chin. Apart from the fairly neat police uniform on his body, the whole person reveals a slovenly old criminal policeman's demeanor.

At this time, the middle-aged police officer was also pulling the folding chair, and his eyes were not friendly to him.

The little police officer next to him looks ordinary, but he is gentle and clean.It seemed unlikely that he was a police student who had just graduated from the police school. When he pulled up the chair and sat down, he walked as if he had just walked, without making any movement.

Coincidentally, the man just happened to know the name of the old criminal policeman who looks sloppy and casual but is actually a shrewd person—he is the deputy chief of the S City Police Department and a well-known criminal investigation expert in the province, Xiong Taili.

This is also something that makes men curious: this kind of expert is usually in charge of serious and important cases, and it stands to reason that this kind of case is not his turn to take care of it - is there any mystery in this?

Although his heart was full of twists and turns, the man's face always remained indifferent.

"From now on, I'll ask you to answer, don't say much else!"

Xiong Taili opened his mouth with an unfriendly tone, coupled with the deliberate pressure, his face looked ferocious, and he looked more like a criminal than the one opposite him - he believed that ordinary prisoners must be extremely flustered when they met him.

He turned his head to his apprentice again and said, "Xiao Lin, you are in charge of recording this interview."

"Okay." The police officer named Lin Ze readily agreed.

"Name?"

The man knew that the police had known his name long ago, but he replied cooperatively.

"Qiu Chuyi." He took the initiative to introduce: "I am Jiang Nanxi's lover."

Xiong Taili recalled the handsome face of the victim (Jiang Nanxi) he saw in the materials just now, and quickly took a look at the more handsome victim's husband in front of him. He didn't know what he thought of, but his tone remained the same, and he continued to ask questions calmly: "age?"

"29."

"Home address?"

"Mansion No. [-], Yunhu Villa, Beishan District, City S."

After checking some basic information, Xiong Taili emphasized his tone again: "Qiu Chuyi, do you know why the police called you here this time?"

This happened to be the answer that Qiu Chuyi wanted to know.

In fact, he was called here by a police call in the middle of the meeting just now.

At that time, he didn't say what it was for. He only said that there were some things that required him to cooperate with the investigation, but when he rushed to the police station, he was taken to this room immediately before he had time to ask.

"I don't know why the police called me here this time..."

Qiu Chuyi showed doubts at the right time, and asked naturally.However, he still observed the surrounding environment quietly in the dark.

This is a square room of more than ten square meters, decorated with soft cloth all around. There is no extra furniture in the room except three chairs and a table. There is a camera with a flashing red light.

Common sense told him this meant the device was recording.

Except that there is no one-way perspective glass that is common in film and television dramas, the whole room is a simple interrogation room-in short, this is definitely not a place for the police to "entertain" the families of the victims.

Before Xiong Taili could speak, Qiu Chuyi seemed to ignore the abnormality around him, with an anxious expression on his face, and asked in the same anxious tone.

"Could it be... Is there any latest development in my wife's case?"

Little police officer Lin Ze was obviously taken aback when he heard this question.

After all, to be "invited into" this airtight room must be a suspect suspected by the police - it would be good to enter here without rushing to separate the relationship. This kind of person who comes up and only cares about the case, suddenly It made him feel like he was confused and caught a good person by mistake.

It was Xiong Taili who had been in the police force for a long time, with rich practical experience and a deep understanding of the interrogation process of fighting various criminals.

So after hearing Qiu Chuyi's rhetorical question, his face remained calm, and he even paid careful attention to the fact that Qiu Chuyi's eyes, who was wearing a black suit, were also heavily bruised and black, which could be seen even after multiple layers of coverage.As if he really paid attention to the progress of the case, his eyeballs were bloodshot after staying up all night.

This business tycoon, who is often seen in newspapers and on TV, is always radiant with extraordinary looks, now seems to be quite haggard.

However, years of experience in the industry also told him: this does not rule out the possibility that Qiu Chuyi is the kind of criminal who is good at disguising and has a high IQ.

Perhaps even Xiong Taili himself didn't notice, but his tone subconsciously softened a lot: "...the police have indeed got new clues now, but your wife's case is still under investigation."

Soon the subject changed, and his tone was still calm but unquestionable: "The police called you here this time, because they actually want your cooperation with something."

"Qiu Chuyi, can you tell us more about the day your wife Jiang Nanxi was killed—"

"Have you ever done anything?"

Two days ago, in the middle of the night on November [-]nd, the S City Police Center suddenly received a report from a female middle school student.

In the description of her trembling vocal cords and obvious shock, the operator could barely understand that she should have discovered a female corpse at school—more precisely, it should be several parts of the female corpse.

This kind of vile criminal case naturally fell to the city bureau, and it was a coincidence that Lin Ze, who had just joined the public security team, was the one who called the police at that time.

Lin Ze, who never thought that the first case he would deal with would be a dismemberment case, rushed to the scene that day and saw the head of the corpse and the cooked right hand—even though it was very clean, he could smell the lingering smell of cooked meat , his stomach was still convulsing violently.

This should be the best-preserved dismemberment case.

The murderer may have been a clean freak. There was no trace of blood on the body parts found at the scene, except that the right hand was obviously boiled, and the head was kept very neat. It should have been carefully cleaned before throwing the body.

Soon, technicians at the scene recognized from the undamaged face that the victim was the wife of a well-known entrepreneur in the city.

In fact, this kind of murder case of an entrepreneur's wife can be big or small.

According to relevant data, there were 1023 million criminal cases of first instance in China last year, among which the number of cases of intentional wounding and intentional homicide also belonged to the forefront.

If it was just a robbery, vendetta and other crimes committed by others, the media would probably only give a small section stingily and report it in a few words;

However, if this case is a brutal murder of his wife by the entrepreneur himself for some reason, I believe it will definitely be a "carnival" for the media at that time, and all kinds of embellished insider news will definitely be circulated in the streets and alleys.

Before entering this room, Xiong Taili had already obtained the testimony of the reporter who was also an eyewitness.

The female middle school student did not share this very crucial piece of information when reporting the case. According to her, she was afraid that she might have misread it—after all, it happened late at night, and she only saw the side face—but she thought about it after going back. In the end, I decided to share this clue with the police.

For this kind of case where there are eyewitnesses at the scene, the testimony is reliable, and it has nothing to do with power disputes, Xiong Taili, who has seen countless similar criminal cases for decades as a police officer, will say that kind of bold words to his apprentice in the corridor.

And the reason why he didn't directly state now that someone saw Qiu Chuyi appearing at the crime scene with his own eyes is to make the chain of evidence more rigorous - most of the prisoners will say a set of inconsistent time statements.

the other side.

Hearing Officer Xiong's question, although Qiu Chuyi remembered that he had made relevant records yesterday, since the police made another request, he still cooperated and responded politely: "Okay."

So, he began to recall again: "I was the same as every day the day before yesterday. I went out to the company at eight o'clock in the morning. After the company had a whole day of meetings, I remember that it was around four o'clock in the afternoon that the client company finally signed a contract. A contract that has been grinding for a long time, so I let the employees get off work early, so I can leave the company early to pick up my daughter from school."

"As for Nancy's incident, I also received a call on the way to the company yesterday, and was informed by the police that a murdered woman was suspected to be my wife... Then, I came to the police station to take notes."

"The victim didn't go home that night, didn't you find it strange?" Xiong Taili interjected sharply.

"Because Nancy mentioned to me some time ago that she was busy with work and might come home late, so I thought she was working overtime when she didn't come back that day..." At this point, Qiu Chuyi seemed to be trying to remember And because of recalling the scene of that day, I experienced the painful expression again: "I should really call her to confirm..."

"Are you sure you went directly to pick up your daughter after you got off work from the company that day?"

"I'm sure." Qiu Chuyi nodded, and the sadness in her eyes was gradually replaced by firmness: "And for the upcoming itinerary, I think the police should know better than me. What else do you want to know?"

Hearing the soft but sharp rhetorical question from the other side, Xiong Taili snorted coldly through his nostrils, and immediately pulled out a photo from the documents on the table.

He turned his face towards Qiu Chuyi, almost close to his eyes: "Qiu Chuyi, take a closer look! The one on it..."

Just as he was about to talk about the key part, Xiong Taili froze and suddenly fell silent.That sentence didn't even finish.

This move was really sudden, and Qiu Chuyi also had countless doubts in his mind because of the abnormality on the other side.

Just as he was thinking about how to deal with the next unfavorable situation, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Xiong Taili's face darkening. Immediately afterwards, the old criminal policeman took off the microphone on his collar and slapped it heavily on the table, almost killing the iron table with great force.

Xiong Taili lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and cursed: "Your uncle... is changing around, are you kidding me?"

Under the suspect's strange eyes, Xiong Taili felt a little embarrassed and turned his head away. Recalling the instructions from the headset, he said to his apprentice in a blunt tone: "Xiao Lin, just clean up here."

"Wait a minute, let's go out first."

After finishing speaking, he stood up conveniently, but before leaving, he still dutifully confessed to Qiu Chuyi.

"Qiu Chuyi, the person in charge of your case has now been replaced." Xiong Taili's face was still pale, but probably because he put on the microphone again, his tone of voice was not as stiff as before.

"The man should be here soon."
