A charming and dangerous character

The snow lasted for a short time, less than a day and a night.

After clearing, the color of the sky becomes very light, like the light blue diluted by clear water, and the ground below it is only covered with a thin layer of snowflakes, and you can't even see the sky from a distance The silver should appear pure and white.

Because it is not far from City D, City S also had its first snow of the year yesterday.

When the snow stopped, I could see the roofs of the tall buildings, the treetops at the top and the eaves that protruded—about all the exposed places were covered by the first snow, leaving shallow spots on the surfaces of these buildings. The layer is close to the trace of the halo.

But when the sun rose from the east as smoothly as every day, these traces that could prove that the snowflakes had come quickly disappeared in the radiant warmth.

The sun shone on the police station compound in City S, and there were three or two policemen in uniform gathered in the middle of an open space, and all of them without exception lowered their heads, as if they were looking at the ground something.

"Hey, where did this kitten come from?"

Surrounded by everyone in the center, a certain fluffy has not yet opened its eyes, but out of an instinctive reaction, its small nose sensitively smelled the breath of many strangers, and it also let out a "meow" from its mouth. Meow" seems to be a weak distress signal to the mother for help.

It's just a pity that apart from its cry, there were no other similar responses in the police station yard.

Lin Ze was on his way to work in the morning when he saw many colleagues gathered around a certain open space in front of the entrance of the police station, so he followed him out of curiosity, wanting to see what everyone was looking at there.

However, as soon as he approached there, he immediately heard the whispering of the young cat, and everyone was discussing the origin of the cub——

"This should be the cub of a nearby wild cat?"

"Maybe, it is estimated that the mother cat left it here when she moved her nest last night."

"It's snowing, this little guy didn't freeze to death..."

"Then what should it do now?"

While everyone was discussing what to do with the poor kitten that was forgotten by its mother, Lin Ze, who was standing on the sidelines, silently came to the front of the crowd.

He stared closely at the cat that was curled up on the ground more like a snow ball, and its small but extremely tenacious cry kept lingering in his ears, and a surge of indescribable heat suddenly surged in his heart.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ze's head became hot, and he suddenly bent down. When he touched the warm and small ball, he couldn't help but seldom spoke loudly in front of people:

"I'll raise it!"

Therefore, when Song Zhengrong saw Lin Ze at the door of the interrogation room, he first spotted the snow-white kitten in his arms.

"Lin Ze, don't you know that the police station does not allow pets to enter?" Song Zhengrong couldn't see this kind of unruly behavior, so he called Lin Ze by his first and last name.

Song Zhengrong felt even more upset after hearing the kitten's "meow meow meow", and he immediately threw down a heavy sentence: "We will go in for interrogation right away—or you can leave alone , or you go with this cat!"

Lin Ze was stunned when he heard the words, and then immediately reached out to touch the fluffy chin in his arms, but the kitten seemed to have a telepathy with him, and unexpectedly stopped its restless noise, obediently Buried his little head deeper into Lin Ze's elbow socket.

"I'm sorry, Brother Zhengrong!" Lin Ze also immediately apologized to Song Zhengrong, but because he was holding the kitten in both hands, he bowed deeply to him: "I picked up this cat on the road when I was going to work just now. Yes. I thought it was too small, and it was snowing and cold, so I thought about taking it into the police station first, so as not to freeze to death outside."

Song Zhengrong is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person. If he encountered this situation on the road, he would probably make the same move as Lin Ze.

After hearing Lin Ze's explanation, he immediately felt that what he just said was a little too much, but it was impossible for him to admit it voluntarily.So Song Zhengrong still had a straight face, but what he said again didn't sound as harsh as before.

"We're going to enter the interrogation room later. Carrying it with us is against the rules and may make the public feel that we have a problem with our attitude. I think it's like this—" Song Zhengrong pointed to an empty interrogation room next to him and said, "You first put the Put it in there."

"Okay, brother Zhengrong!"

By the time Lin Ze had settled the kitten properly and hurried out of the house, Song Zhengrong was no longer in the corridor on the second floor—it seemed that he should have entered the interrogation room.

"...We just asked you to come over today to understand the situation, so don't be too formal."

In the middle of Song Zhengrong's words, he heard a "click" of the door closing behind him, and then saw Lin Ze approaching him lightly, carefully pulled out the chair and sat down.

Lin Ze didn't make any noise during the whole process, he was as quiet as a cloud of air.

"Sorry, my colleague is late." Song Zhengrong apologized to the person opposite: "Let me introduce to you again, this is Lin Ze, the police officer who is in charge of the transcript this time."

Lin Ze also smiled apologetically, and then Song Zhengrong said, "Then let's start now."

Questioning and interrogation (the object of the former is the witness or other relevant personnel, while the latter refers to the culture of the suspect in the case, collectively referred to as interrogation hereinafter) are essential stages in the investigation process.

The methods of interrogation are naturally varied and diverse, and each policeman will also have his own unique way of questioning.

For example, Cheng Ye, he likes to keep all the materials related to the case in his mind first, and then quickly output all the materials during the interrogation process, creating psychological pressure on the person being questioned with the force of the storm, so that he can get a better result in the interrogation process. When that person loses his temper, he obtains the information he wants - this method is naturally inseparable from Cheng Ye's talkative and irritable character;

However, as a child who also grew up in a police family, Song Zhengrong has an interrogation style completely opposite to that of Cheng Ye.Compared with him, he is more careful and restrained, and he should belong to the traditional conservative school. Although he will do his homework in advance, he will let the other party state it first during the interrogation process, and then form those words with the content in his memory. Contrast, so as to find the breakthrough point of the case.

Because Song Zhengrong took over the "Eleventh [-]nd Jiang Nanxi Murder Case", and the whereabouts of the suspect Qiu Chuyi locked up by the police is currently unknown, so today we mainly find people related to Qiu Chuyi or Jiang Nanxi for questioning. Opposite him and Lin Ze is a male neighbor who lives next door to Qiu Chuyi and Jiang Nanxi.

Song Zhengrong, who is experienced in conversation, has deliberately expanded the scope of the question a lot, but in the end he still didn't get anything particularly useful from the question.

I don't know if Qiu Chuyi's family deliberately didn't make friends with others or for other reasons. This neighbor knew very little about Qiu Chuyi and Jiang Nanxi. He only said that Qiu Chuyi and his wife seemed to be very busy at work, but in private It seems that they are as loving as other couples, and they have never heard of any disagreement between the two of them, let alone hands-on. In the eyes of neighbors, they are simply "models" among model couples.

However, before the questioning ended, the male neighbor seemed to have thought for a long time before slowly telling Song Zhengrong a secret about Qiu Chuyi that he had accidentally discovered.

"Officer Song, there is one more thing I don't know if it has something to do with this case..." He frowned and said, "I'm also in business, and I often have social gatherings at night, so sometimes it's almost midnight when I get home. But several times when I was about to go to bed after washing, I saw Qiu Chuyi rushing back from outside, and the car was covered in dust, as if he had just been to another place."

"But once it was almost two or three o'clock in the morning, my wife told me that she saw Qiu Chuyi at home in the evening—" The male neighbor winked at Song Zhengrong and the others again, but the eyes The meaning is really ambiguous.

He said "with his own judgment": "Officers, you said, he must have gone home first and then went out later, right? Generally speaking, work matters will not make him run out in the middle of the night several times. The company handles it, and the 'content' of our business and entertainment should be similar. So, I always thought he had a 'small' outside..."

"But these are just my speculations! There is no basis for it, and I haven't seen it with my own eyes, so I didn't know whether to tell you before." The male neighbor added at the end.

Song Zhengrong, who had read the latest materials, heard the neighbor say this, but immediately thought of the content written in a material that "witnesses saw Qiu Chuyi and Amber several times in Yuying Middle School"-it seems that this The male neighbor's guess was generally good. It is estimated that Qiu Chuyi went out several times in the middle of the night to meet Amber at Yuying Middle School.

Although the police had already grasped the news, Song Zhengrong expressed his gratitude to the neighbor who provided the clue out of politeness: "Okay, we have recorded this matter, and the police thank you very much for your cooperation!"

In the following time, Song Zhengrong and Lin Ze questioned several more important employees of Qiu Chuyi's company and Jiang Nanxi's colleagues (this is why the police called them to the police station for formal questioning). The evaluations of the couple were unexpectedly consistent with those of the previous neighbor—if this kind of loving relationship that has been maintained in front of others, if it is not true, then Qiu Chuyi and Jiang Nanxi are both too good at disguising, and they have never been seen by others. See any flaws.

It wasn't until Qiu Chuyi's personal lawyer was interrogated that Song Zhengrong, who had already done useless work all morning, was able to cheer up again.

Because he knows that this is likely to be a key person who knows more about the privacy and secrets of his boss.

When Zhou Wenbin entered the interrogation room, he was still wearing gold-rimmed glasses, and he was wearing a suit with all the details. This made him look very refined and elegant.

"Hello, my name is Zhou Wenbin." He took the initiative to introduce himself to Song Zhengrong and Lin Ze, and even said with a professional smile: "I used to be the legal consultant of Arrow Group, and also Qiu Chuyi's personal lawyer. "

If Cheng Ye was here at this moment, he would definitely be furious - because Zhou Wenbin's attitude towards him before was so inconsistent with his attitude towards others now, it could almost be called a 180-degree turn.

However, Zhou Wenbin's politeness failed to bring Song Zhengrong's kindness back.He continued to inquire carefully in a business-like manner, as if wishing to get all the things that hadn't been asked by other people before, from this lawyer who probably knew a lot of secrets.

However, Zhou Wenbin was unexpectedly cooperative this time.During the questioning, it was almost Song Zhengrong who asked him something, and he was sure to be able to say something, but some were related to the question and some were not.

After briefly chatting about Qiu Chuyi's affairs, Zhou Wenbin even took the initiative to reveal to Song Zhengrong and the others that "Arrow Group seems to have signed some kind of contract with Yetianchi recently"-compared to the previous questioners, this This incident can definitely be regarded as the biggest gain for Song Zhengrong and the others all morning!

But when Song Zhengrong wanted to continue asking, Zhou Wenbin refused to say anything.

Song Zhengrong soon realized Zhou Wenbin's trick: he seemed to say everything on the surface, but in fact he only said what he wanted the police to know.

Therefore, he suddenly asked Zhou Wenbin such a question by surprise:

"Do you know Jiang Nanxi privately?"

Zhou Wenbin didn't hesitate after hearing this, and shook his head directly and replied: "Not familiar. Although I am Mr. Qiu's personal lawyer, I only have business contacts. The two of us have very few personal contacts, and Mr. Qiu rarely mentions to me. and things at home."

Song Zhengrong was not surprised by this answer.

After all, after asking all morning, what Zhou Wenbin said seemed to be something that this couple who loved each other on the surface but concealed it deeply could do.

But Song Zhengrong was still a little unwilling, so he changed the way of asking.

After asking a series of trivial matters related to Jiang Nanxi, and giving Zhou Wenbin almost no time to think about it, Song Zhengrong patiently and slowly stepped into the topic.

He asked again: "Do you know what Jiang Nanxi did before her death?"

After going through the model just now, Zhou Wenbin still didn't think about it, and immediately replied: "It should be the foreign trade import and export industry."

"Then do you know what position she holds in the company?"

"I don't know about that." Zhou Wenbin was a little tired from being questioned repeatedly by Song Zhengrong, and it was inevitable that he was mentally exhausted.He took off his glasses and yawned again, before slowly saying, "President Qiu never mentioned it to me."

"Then do you know what Jiang Nanxi has done before?"

Because the police have not disclosed that Jiang Nanxi is Shi Xiang, Song Zhengrong originally wanted to test whether Qiu Chuyi knew the secret of Jiang Nanxi's change of identity from Zhou Wenbin's mouth—but what Song Zhengrong didn't expect was that, After Zhou Wenbin heard it, he accidentally said another thing.

"It seems that I have been a nurse..."

However, Zhou Wenbin's expression changed immediately after speaking.

But when he saw the suspicious eyes from Song Zhengrong and Lin Ze, Zhou Wenbin, with the cold sweat on his back, explained bluntly: "No, I seem to remember it wrong. I'm sorry, officer, just now you asked There are too many questions, I was a little distracted, and I didn't hear what you asked clearly."

Song Zhengrong naturally saw through this poor excuse at a glance, but no matter how much he asked Zhou Wenbin in the future, this elite lawyer was like a tortoise shrunk into its shell, and would not speak easily no matter what.

When Zhou Wenbin finally walked out of the interrogation room, the pointer on the clock had already pointed to two o'clock in the afternoon, which was long past the time for lunch.

But he didn't feel hungry because of lingering fear, but the freezing temperature in the corridor made him feel rare and comfortable for the first time.

Because the team sent another text message asking Song Zhengrong and Lin Ze to come out for lunch, shortly after Zhou Wenbin left, the two of them also walked out of the interrogation room where they had been sitting all morning.

However, as soon as the two of them took one foot out of the door, they heard Zhou Wenbin's angry voice not far ahead.

"...Damn, even you don't let me go, right?" He seemed to be losing his temper with something: "I let you block my way!"

As he said that, Zhou Wenbin raised his right foot, trying to kick away the thing that was in the way under his feet.

Song Zhengrong's eyesight has always been good, and he quickly recognized that the one blocking Zhou Wenbin's path looked like a small snowball—how could there be an unmelted "snowball" in the police station that had already started heating?

Just when he remembered what that "snowball" was, Lin Ze suddenly yelled in his ear: "That's my cat!"

Zhou Wenbin, who was not far away from them, obviously also heard Lin Ze's call sign. When Lin Ze hurried to the kitten who didn't know how to escape from the office, fortunately, Zhou Wenbin's footsteps also froze. Did not kick them to the point of "turning people on their backs".

Zhou Wenbin looked at Lin Ze who was squatting on the ground and picked up the cat like a baby, his face suddenly became colorful, and his eyes were extremely complicated.

In the end, he just had an unlucky face and left the police station in a hurry without saying anything—of course it might be because of embarrassment.

After Song Zhengrong came over here, he turned to Lin Ze who was holding the kitten tightly in his arms, and said with a smile: "Look, you scared people! Do you care about cats so much?" ? If it wasn't for someone to 'stop' in time, that kick would have kicked you and the cat over!"

However, Lin Ze just smiled when he heard Song Zhengrong's ridicule, and did not make any rebuttals.
