fool.

Zhao You entered the interrogation room of the detention center and sat down behind a long table with Gao Changqing on the left and the right.Gao Changqing still carried a lot of documents. After she sat down, she put on her glasses and started flipping through the documents without making a sound.Zhao You was the first to speak in a hurry, and said to Zhou Sichang who was sitting behind an iron fence: "Teacher Zhou, if you have anything you want to tell me, just say it."

Zhou Sichang wore an orange vest with the words "Yancheng Dongkan 6786" marked on his chest. He was tall, with broad hands and long feet, and was very thin, with dry skin and wrinkled flesh, and gray hair. He was curled up in the interrogation chair , in a trance.As soon as Zhao You spoke, his head moved and tilted to the side of the chair. Among the reflections formed by the incandescent ceiling lights in the closed interrogation room hitting the light green floor tiles, one beam happened to be reflected on Zhou Sichang. On that sickly head.His complexion looked even more sallow and haggard.

Zhou Sichang didn't answer, but just sat crookedly and looked sideways at Zhao You and Gao Changqing weakly.Zhao You scratched his ears and cheeks, and asked Gao Changqing, who was immersed in reading the materials, for help. Gao Changqing raised his head, turned the pen in his hand, and said in a bright voice: "I brought it to you, but you still refuse to open the mouth. Right? You see how anxious you are as a student, or do you just like to watch the police being played around by you? Did Zhao You offend you, and you messed with him like this? You know he was delayed for you How many things, do you know how much he will suffer when you say you want to find him? He was interrogated by us for a whole day yesterday!"

Zhao You coughed, and spoke to Zhou Sichang again, in a soft voice: "Mr. Zhou, let me explain where the corpse is. The Skynet has been restored, and it's better not to take chances."

Zhou Sichang closed his eyes, and when he looked at Zhao You again, his eyes were worried and even a little frightened. He licked his chapped lips and said, "I want to talk to Xiao Zhao alone."

Zhao Youyou was in a difficult situation: "Mr. Zhou, I'm afraid this is against the rules, right?"

Zhou Sichang heard the words, let out a long sigh, lowered his head, covered his face with his hands, and sobbed: "Yes, I know, good..." The sobs gradually turned into wailing, and the cry was miserable, "Xiao Zhao, Mr. Zhou seems to have killed you!" people..."

Zhao You looked at Gao Changqing, Gao Changqing gave him a wink, Zhao You said: "Teacher, what do you mean by 'like'?

Gao Changqing wrote a sentence on the paper and handed it to Zhao You: Ask him if he is drunk.

Zhao You followed suit and asked, "Then did you get drunk that day? What date is it? Is it the 10th?"

Zhou Sichang was still crying, his shoulders shrugged up and down, and he murmured: "I'm confused, I'm confused, I'm old, I'm old..."

Gao Changqing quickly wrote down another instruction: After you returned home at noon on the 10th, you quarreled and you got drunk and killed someone.

Zhao You asked: "On the 10th, the teacher's wife came home at noon, did you quarrel again?"

Zhou Sichang nodded.Gao Changqing repeatedly underlined the words "drunk out of control and murder".Zhao You then continued: "Did you lose control and kill her after drinking?"

Zhou Sichang put down his hands at this moment, wiped his face with his clothes, blew his nose, and looked at Zhao You with tears in his eyes: "I don't remember."

Gao Changqing slapped the table and sternly said, "Zhou Sichang! You are the one who came to the police station to say that you killed your wife, and you are the one who said you didn't remember how you killed someone or where the body was! You Do you think we can’t find Yan Mingming’s body, so we have nothing to do with you?! Let me tell you, we already know where Yan Mingming’s body is! I have been a lecturer in a police academy, and I have taught many excellent people's policemen," she pointed to Zhao You and said, "And you, a student, pleaded for your mercy and said that your teacher would never kill someone, I will give you A chance to confess! If you don’t say it now, you won’t have a chance to say it later! Do you understand?”

Zhao You scratched his temples, Gao Changqing's voice was very loud, and there was a lot of echo in the interrogation room, which lasted for a long time.

Zhou Sichang was endlessly wronged: "Captain Gao, what I said all along was that I 'seemed' to have killed someone, and I didn't know if I had killed someone, it was just because I found an unknown syringe at home. ..."

Zhao You interrupted: "The residue in the syringe is insulin?"

Gao Changqing pursued: "Yan obviously doesn't have diabetes, do you know what happens to ordinary people when they inject insulin?"

Zhou Sichang said: "Obviously she is allergic to peanuts and has the habit of carrying epi needles. The Mainland Food and Drug Administration did not approve this thing, so she asked someone to get some epinephrine injection from the hospital, and usually put it in the syringe with her." Take it with you."

Gao Changqing slapped the table: "We are talking about insulin!"

Zhao You followed suit: "Yes, we are talking about insulin. I remember that ordinary people can easily die from insulin injections."

Zhou Sichang said: "I didn't know there was insulin in it. I always thought it was adrenaline. I was obviously not at home at the time, and suddenly there was a syringe at home. I thought it was strange. She wouldn't misplace this kind of thing, and The syringe was obviously used, I don't recall her taking epinephrine at home recently,

"Also, I found some blood in the bathroom of a room on the first floor, which made me even more weird, plus I couldn't get in touch with her at all... oh, and I saw a lot of wine bottles in the kitchen , there was a blank period in my memory, I reasonably suspected that I 'could' have killed my wife, I never admitted that I killed her, I just pointed out a possibility, I went to the police station to surrender, just to pass The strength of the criminal police, with the help of the criminal police, ruled out this possibility."

Gao Changqing sneered: "You are waiting for me here, playing word games with me, right? Let me tell you! I have caught more murderers than you have taught students! You and Yan Mingming's marriage life is not harmonious, and everyone is exhausted. We all know that you are used to living a luxurious life, and you still flirt with the little nanny at home! Yan Mingming dismissed the nanny because of this, right? Can you say otherwise?" Gao Changqing held up a document , shaking in the air, "This is the confession given by the nanny. When did you start having an affair at home, and when and how many months were discovered by the hostess, she explained it all! Cheng, you rented her house for her, right? The landlord has seen your photo and said that it is the house you accompanied this little nanny to see!"

Gao Changqing slapped those documents on the table, and Zhao You picked them up and looked through them. This was a confession of a woman named "Tai Lili". It was recorded on the evening of August 8. Tai Lili is 10 years old and graduated from university. , she confessed in the confession...

Before Zhao You could turn to the confession recording page, Gao Changqing took the confession from him with a "swish" and began to shake it in the air again, saying: "Is Tai Lili your accomplice?! Could it be that you conspired?" Insulin was used to replace Yan Mingming’s adrenaline?” Gao Changqing said, “She’s pregnant now, we can only release her on bail pending trial, and you, you thought the body was divided, and we couldn’t find the body, so arrest it Can’t get it approved?” Gao Changqing pressed the confession under the next door, took out another document from the pile of documents, opened it to read, but was interrupted by Zhou Sichang, he said: “Dismember the body? ...I'm not a butcher, and I'm not a forensic science major. Is it too difficult for me to dismember the body? And have you checked all the knives in our house? Are there any obvious DNA residues? Yes , I admit that there is a bone chopping knife missing in the kitchen, but that knife has been missing for several months. I usually don’t use that bone chopping knife when I cook at home. It’s the kind of knife that comes in a set. I will use it. I usually use a Chinese kitchen knife when cooking at home.

"Also, is there any trace of blood in our food blender? Is there any trace of human flesh being cooked in the pressure cooker? And according to what you said, I got drunk and killed people. There are so many wine bottles in the kitchen. I should be completely drunk. Can a normal person complete such a difficult thing as dismembering a corpse while being so drunk? And on the day of the 10th, I really never saw Mingming. I don’t know where you found the witness who said that I and She's home."

Gao Changqing said: "August 8 at 10:2 p.m., you came home from outside, didn't you?"

Zhou Sichang nodded.

"Is Yan Mingming at home?"

"I didn't see her at home."

"Lies! This is a screenshot of the surveillance video provided by the community! After 10:12 noon on the 15th, Yan Mingming entered the house and never appeared again!" Gao Changqing threw out a surveillance photo, and Zhao You looked at it. A woman with long hair wearing a straw hat and a long skirt entered a villa with the house number 6.

Gao Changqing continued excitedly: "And according to Ge Junhua's testimony, when he went to Yan's house at four o'clock that afternoon, he only saw you at home. You claimed that Yan Mingming was not at home, but in fact you killed her at that time! You are Dismembered! Ge Junhua's arrival caught you by surprise! So you don't want him to enter the house at all, do you?"

Zhou Sichang defended: "I don't know that young man at all. He said he is Mingming's friend, but I haven't met him at all. In Mingming's job, many people often come to see her and bring gifts to her. Sometimes there are many It's a very troublesome thing. She told me that those who came directly to the house and didn't know people refused to see her, so I was not very willing to receive him. Later, he said that his car was a tram, and so was the one who visited my house. His car was running out of battery, so he asked me if I could use our electric car charging pile to charge it for a while, and he was very enthusiastic about moving the gift I brought into the house, so I asked him to park the car in the garage ..."

Gao Changqing frowned and interrupted him: "Don't talk about these things, and don't pretend to be here with me. Don't you know the son of the owner of the Ge Group? The Ge Group's hotel is next to Ximeihua. Would you Do you know Ge Junhua??"

"I never take part in Mingming's work, nor do I accompany her to socialize. I'm a stupid person, and I'm afraid I'll embarrass her if I go." Zhou Sichang said.

Zhao You continued: "Ge Junhua and his wife are in an elite training class, what is the elite class run by Hedao Studio, don't you know they are classmates?"

Zhou Sichang said: "I knew that she has been studying for the past few months, let's start from June, one day off every month, closed study, and I made fun of her, I said you are always like this You are a senior CEO, why do you still want to study like the apprentices you brought out? When you graduate, the generations between you and your apprentices will be messed up."

Gao Changqing glanced at Zhao You.Zhao You also asked: "Closed study? I thought it was the kind of class where everyone had a tea party on weekends and it was purely for socializing. Is it really a serious study class?"

Zhou Sichang said: "I'm not very clear. This class seems to be held only once every three years. Every time, a few people are recruited. Many people want to go, but there are many rules for recruiting people. They must be introduced by acquaintances or the teacher who started the class. Take the initiative to invite."

Gao Changqing sighed suddenly, and his attitude softened a little: "Zhou Sichang, Mr. Zhou, I know you have rich experience in criminal investigation, but if you use your experience and knowledge to treat them as a kind of anti-investigation It is not advisable to prevent our police from handling cases. I have encountered many things like you. To be honest, I completely understand. When I reach a certain age, I meet a young and beautiful woman. Like young and beautiful women? Who doesn't like a gentle and obedient woman? Who doesn't like a woman who is willing to pass on the family line to herself? But think about it carefully, Lao Zhou, Tai Lili, it's worth doing for her The child in her womb, do you know that the child is not actually yours?"

Zhou Sichang was startled, lowered his eyes, kept shaking his head, and sighed repeatedly: "I'm old and confused." He choked up again, and asked, "How long have I been here?"

Zhao You glanced at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, and said, "It's 8:15 am on August 9th."

Gao Changqing patted the back of Zhao You's hand, tidied up the documents on the table, and whispered to him: "Xiao Zhao, I'll give you and Mr. Zhou a little time, you'd better persuade you, Mr. Zhou, for the sake of a woman, don't wait until the end of the festival." Paul, it's really not worth it."

Gao Changqing got up and left. After she left, Zhou Sichang sat silently. Zhao You touched the table and looked at the clock.It was Zhou Sichang who spoke to Zhao You first and asked him, "How is the policeman doing?"

"I'm not going to be a detective."

"Isn't it a policeman?"

"Go to publicity."

"Oh..." Zhou Sichang was not surprised, "Are you married?"

"not yet."

"Hurry up, do you have a date?"

"Yes..." Zhao You scratched his ears, "I don't know if I should say yes, I like him quite a bit, and he seems to like me a little too, that's just..."

"Haven't established a relationship yet?"

"not yet."

"Don't worry, you are still young, you are still young, Xiao Zhao, unlike our generation, who do everything early, I was a university teacher when I was your age."

"Are you working early?"

"It's okay, it's just that I went back to school after working for a while."

Zhao You asked, "How long have you been married to your teacher's wife?"

Zhou Sichang smiled: "After I retired from the police academy, I went to Yancheng to retire. I met when I was working as a security consultant for their hotel. We have been married for five years."

"They're all first marriages."

"Yes."

"it's fate."

"Her father disappeared 20 years ago." Zhou Sichang said.

Zhao You said awkwardly: "You mean she is looking for a father for herself?"

Zhou Sichang laughed: "Don't others say that?" He asked Zhao You: "Xiaoyan and you work together, right?"

"Ah, yes, he still wanted to come. Yancheng said that he would not bother him to come along." Zhao You said, "He is also in a hurry, Mr. Zhou, can I ask something?"

"what?"

"Why do you have to find me?"

"I'm giving you trouble."

"It's not troublesome." Zhao You said.

"You don't like it, do you? I remember that what you dislike the most is interrogation and investigation."

Zhao You said: "Hey, I think criminal psychology and scenario setting are quite difficult."

Zhou Sichang said: "Do you remember that when you were a freshman, a pennant in the principal's office disappeared, and you didn't tell the students at the beginning that many of our teachers gave advice and thought that the police school could still throw things away? Can you not catch the thief who stole things, and you don't know the ins and outs? But there is really no clue, and I haven't found it after searching for half a month. Later, the matter spread to the students. In the end, you found it, and I don't know what happened. , when I was at home, I was walking around in the bedroom on the first floor, and I was thinking about those syringes, those wine bottles, those bloodstains... I just thought this person disappeared, did you also Can help me find her back, help the teacher."

"You mean..." Zhao You moved his butt, as if he couldn't sit still anymore, "You want me to find Yan Mingming?"

Zhou Sichang stared at him intently, nodded and said, "Yes, we found her."

"You heard it just now, Team Gao and the others here in Yancheng already have clues."

Zhou Sichang asked again: "What time is it?"

"Nine twenty-two." Zhao You asked, "You really don't remember anything?"

"August 8th was originally a holiday for the training class. Their training class started in June, started on June 10th, and lasted until September 6th. There is only one day off in a month, which is the 6th of each month. Mingming and I made an appointment to eat at a Provence seafood restaurant. I arrived at 10 o'clock, but I couldn't wait for her, and I couldn't reach her by phone. I thought there was some change in their training class schedule, so I ate by myself. gone."

"The waiter at that restaurant said he saw you and Yan Mingming having an argument."

"I do not remember……"

"Did you drink at noon?"

"Drink it, the police said that the waiter said that I ordered wine and drank a lot..." Zhou Sichang held his forehead and admitted hesitantly, "I just remembered that I planned to find a substitute driver after the meal, but ended up in the parking lot. I fell asleep in the car, and after waking up, I felt that there was nothing wrong, so I drove home by myself."

"Then what do you remember, when was the last time you saw Yan Mingming?"

"July 7, when they were on vacation last month."

"Where did you see it?"

"At noon, she drove home from the training base. The address of their training base was kept secret, and the mobile phone was confiscated, so I couldn't post the location. I cooked at home. We talked about our trip to Provence in August last year. I suggested that I could go to that restaurant for dinner next time on vacation, and she made a reservation."

"What kind of food did you cook?"

"what?"

"What did you cook at home?"

"Ma Po tofu, slobbering chicken, stir-fried spinach, and a tofu meatball soup. I'm afraid she won't be used to it in the training class. All the dishes she likes are cooked."

"Oh, yes, she can't order anything in advance, the phone is confiscated."

Zhou Sichang nodded: "Yes, her mobile phone was confiscated when she entered the training class. She didn't expect that when the class started in June, when the first class was held, each person could talk to the outside world for 6 minutes every night. , The call was canceled when the second course started in July, and I couldn't contact her at all."

When Zhou Sichang said this, someone knocked on the door, and Zhao You went to open the door. Standing outside was Mo Gaofeng. He looked into the interrogation room. He was nervous but also a little excited. He pulled Zhao You away. Going out, the voice is loud: "Xiao Zhao, there is a major breakthrough!"

Zhao You closed the door: "Did you find Yan Mingming?"

Mo Gaofeng pushed him away and said, "Come with me!"

"I don't need to judge Teacher Zhou anymore?" Zhao You looked back frequently.

"Come here..." Mo Gaofeng dragged him away from the interrogation room involuntarily, and dragged him all the way to an office on the first floor. The whole building of the detention center was silent.There is no one in the office, just some desks, some unopened computers and some filing cabinets with combination locks.In addition to the keyboard, there are some pen holders, calculators and other stationery on the desk, which are arranged in an orderly manner.There was a small window facing south with iron railings on it. Mo Gaofeng motioned Zhao You to sit down, then turned around, closed the door and left.

Zhao Youqian stood for a while, then went to the window and lit a cigarette. The window was sealed and the sun was shining brightly. A large playground could be seen outside. There were two gray buildings across the playground, and some slight noises came from there. , as if made by the collision of metal bowls, or as if many people were forging iron together.Zhao You couldn't tell.
