Chapter 32 Lies (4)
He calmed down for a while, and looked at Jiang Ke silently, feeling the urge to admit defeat.
Fortunately, Jiang Ke didn't intend to continue to provoke him, he just glanced at Chen Shen again, smiled slightly, and left directly after saying goodbye.
After a long time, Qi Li finally came back to his senses. He asked in disbelief: "Just let him go? Is this a clue?? Just give up???"
Fang Shu gave Chen Shen a deep look, and was also very irritable: "You can ask him."
The more Qi Li thought about it, the angrier he became, and when he was about to launch an attack, he realized that at some point, Chen Shen had disappeared, and he was with Lin Huai.
Here, Lin Huai was suddenly pulled away by the wrist by Chen Shen. Although he was inexplicable, he did not struggle. The two walked downstairs quickly. Lin Huai still couldn't help asking: "Why did you run away?"
"Hush," Chen Shen put his finger on his lips, "Qi Li is annoying, let him calm down."
"This matter, you said you have a new idea, what is it?" Lin Huai asked as he walked.
"Qi Li knows my new way of thinking, and he definitely wants to scold me." Chen Shen said.
Lin Huai reacted quickly. He couldn't believe it, but he felt that Chen Shen must have thought so: "You think Mr. He's uncle is innocent? Although he didn't have an alibi, he really didn't do that?? "
Although Chen Shen didn't answer, his expression affirmed Lin Huai's statement. Although Lin Huai came up with this idea himself, he was still shocked. He realized that he had followed Chen Shen to the subway station. When the subway arrived, because it was off-peak period, there were not many people on the subway, so Chen Shen pulled him to the back compartment where there were almost no people and sat down.
"But what about the little boy's statement? He identified Mr. He's uncle. Is he lying? How could a child tell such a lie?? And there is indeed evidence that Mr. Qi's uncle bribed the witness..." Lin Huai's brain was spinning rapidly, and he couldn't accept this statement.
"You said that the little boy has no physical evidence of being sexually assaulted at all, right? Because of the mother's 'carelessness', it took a long time to find out."
"..." Lin Huai looked at Chen Shen, he couldn't understand what he was thinking, "It is possible that he lied, but how could a child fabricate these things?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't believe that children are innocent, or that some children wouldn't think they were wrong even if they did something wrong."
"These are just your own conjectures," Lin Huai said, "No matter what it is, you have to tell the evidence."
"Yes, we really need to talk about evidence," Chen Shen replied, "Here, we have no physical evidence. There are two pieces of evidence. The first is the little boy's own statement, and the second is that some witnesses said they saw the little boy and Mr. Qi. They all went into the same room, but the witness changed his story afterwards. It seems that Mr. He's uncle spent money to settle the matter. Everyone generally thinks that it was to cover up his crimes, but could it be that Mr. He's uncle just wanted to It’s just to make peace with others, just give some money to save trouble.”
Although Lin Huai wanted to say that it wasn't him who did it, what was he afraid of, but he knew these people well. It's normal for people not to think too much about things they don't care about, just like his elder brother who directly threw Chen Shen into the countryside Simple and rude, if it can be settled with some money, the money is nothing, but they didn't expect that afterward, the little boy's mother was so persistent that she even brought up a murder case.
"But it's just a possibility. What about the little boy's confession? How did he know that the man can...I even..." Lin Huai felt a little embarrassed to say it, and he only recently knew that the relationship between men was like that , "And is his frightened state faked? Isn't this incredible?"
Chen Shen seemed to know what Lin Huai was thinking. He smiled: "The environment he grew up in is different from yours. The neighborhood he lives in is very old, and the residents in the neighborhood are also very complicated. In what way, but you cannot deny that he may have known about it through other means."
Everything is just empty talk, but on the other hand, there is no conclusive evidence that Mr. He's uncle committed the crime. Lin Huai looked at Chen Shen speechlessly: "Then there is at least a motive. If he didn't receive Sexual assault, is he going to say that?"
He originally thought that Chen Shen would give another answer, even if it was speculative, but Chen Shen frowned and said softly.
"Who knows."
"..."
"Your speculation is very irresponsible." Lin Huai turned his body and looked directly at Chen Shen. "As policemen, we have the responsibility to protect the weak."
"Who is weak?" Chen Shen asked, "If a child lied and successfully framed an adult, is the child still weak?"
"You are changing the concept secretly," Lin Huai said, "There is no doubt about the crime, you shouldn't define people as criminals from the beginning..." After speaking, Lin Huai was suddenly speechless. These words, for Mr. He His uncle is also common, and he shouldn't presume that Mr. He's uncle is guilty. He looked at Chen Shen, and the two looked at each other. Looking at Chen Shen's calm eyes, Lin Huai remained silent for a long time.
"What I said... I was a little paranoid." Lin Huai still decided to admit his mistake.
"You are right to think so," Chen Shen comforted Lin Huai instead, "You are a sympathetic person, this is the logic of normal people."
The logic of a normal person... Lin Huai couldn't help but ask, "What about your logic?"
"My logic is the same as yours," Chen Shen said briskly, "I just don't have the same confidence in children as you do."
"...No matter what," Lin Huai said, "what we need now is evidence, and you still need to explain to Lao Gao, he won't believe your speculation without evidence."
"Yes," Chen Shen nodded, "If we can't trust Mr. He and the little boy, there is actually someone else we can ask."
"You mean the witness?"
"Yes, let's block people." Chen Shen said cheerfully.
"You know that the credibility of this witness who can change his words at will is no greater than that of these two parties?" Lin Huai couldn't help asking, "And where should we find him?" Although this witness changed his words early, He even faded out of the police's sight, but he still knew this person. This person was a "young master" from the crime scene, the kind that could be released.
"About the credibility, I have a guess," Chen Shen thoughtfully, "As for where to find it, aren't we on our way now? He is playing with his girlfriend at XX temple, and he said he is going to participate in a blessing event , with luck, maybe we can block it."
Lin Huai raised his head. At this time, the subway had just closed the door and announced the next stop - XX Temple. In a daze, Lin Huai had the feeling that all of this was under Chen Shen's control. This man -
"How did you know his whereabouts? Didn't he disappear after leaving the job?" Lin Huai looked at Chen Shen carefully, this person was really mysterious sometimes.
"Of course it's WeChat Moments," Chen Shen said. He turned his phone towards Lin Huai as he spoke. It was a photo of a man and a woman with their mouths close to each other. The background is the gate of XX Temple. "He quite likes it." Show affection."
"..." Lin Huai stared at this disgusting photo of kissing, feeling like "the little thief escaped and jumped into the police station", "You... why did you add his..."
"Lied about being a newcomer to the industry?" Chen Shen said, "In fact, he is quite enthusiastic."
In other words, Chen Shen pretended to be a duck?Imagining the conversation between the two, Lin Huai's ears turned slightly red, and he looked at Chen Shen speechlessly, he was also really thick-skinned.
XX Temple is actually not very big, but it is backed by a mountain, so the area is large, but the main part is still at the foot of the mountain. Lin Huai followed Chen Shen to the crowded place. He thought it would take at least ten minutes to find it. , but in less than a minute, he saw the couple sticking together in the crowd, and sure enough... Xiu Enai really stands out.
Lin Huai looked at Chen Shen, he couldn't figure out what this man was planning, so he didn't want to act recklessly.
Facing Lin Huai's gaze, Chen Shen distributed the free incense sticks from the table next to Lin Huai and said, "Are you wondering what I'm going to do?"
Lin Huai nodded.
"When I was chatting with him, I mentioned some of my troubles at work, such as some overly enthusiastic older ladies. Of course, I mentioned more than this trouble, but he seemed to be particularly touched by this, so I also vaguely mentioned some characteristics of this type of lady, and he took the seat right away, and shared a lot of things with me, although the names were erased."
"This person really can't hide his words..." Lin Huai said, or Chen Shen is a person who is good at leading conversations...
"So I know one thing." Chen Shen smiled and handed the phone directly to Lin Huai.
Lin Huai took the phone, and it showed the conversation between Chen Shen and the witness, and this person was talking for a long time.
[You have to be able to endure this kind of thing, just think of them as objects, but you can't always think like this, you will still be seen, only do it when you really can't stand it, before I... ...]
Then the man shared a story of his wit fighting a rich woman, Chen Shen echoed a few words, and then suddenly added another sentence.
[However, these people will have their retribution sooner or later. 】
[Of course, do you know Mrs. He?As for the one that died last week, all I can tell you is that he deserved it. 】
Then the man stopped talking abruptly, and continued to share his work experience.
Seeing this, Lin Huai's heart was filled with a strange feeling. He looked at Chen Shen and asked, "So, you suspect that he has a grudge against the dead..."
"No, he happened to be with his girlfriend that day, and he also posted photos in Moments."
Lin Huai knew that this witness and Mrs. He had become a key point, but he didn't understand it for a while, but he was very clear about one thing.
"You explain to me, what do I need to do next?"
"So now you ask him as a policeman, do you know Mrs. He, if he answers no, then it will be very interesting."
This sentence sounds very reasonable, but... Lin Huai thought for a few seconds, then he shook his head: "Your logic is still a little unstable, and he denied it, maybe because he didn't want to be involved, after all, this is a murder case. "
"That's true, but I suspect that he and Mrs. He don't have that kind of relationship," Chen Shen said, "His appearance is not the one Mrs. He likes, um, you know."
Lin Huai naturally understands what Chen Shen means. Indeed, compared with Chen Shen, this person is just a white boy, and his height is not as tall as him, let alone Chen Shen's height is a head taller than ordinary people. that's it.
"And according to my understanding, Mrs. He is not the kind of woman who would go to clubs to have fun," Chen Shen said, "So when I found out that he knew Mrs. He and even didn't like her very much, I felt very suspicious."
"Do you know Mrs. He well? I thought you were avoiding her directly." Lin Huai frowned. He originally thought that Chen Shen was afraid to avoid Mrs. He.
"I did some basic research. After all, I was seriously pursued by her. I have to confirm what kind of rejection is more appropriate, and it won't cause me any trouble." Chen Shen said with a smile.
The one who said this sentence had no intention of listening to it, Lin Huai was a little restless, the matter of causing trouble after refusing someone... Maybe it was his sister Lin Ya who did it.
"And you can ask around, the deceased really didn't have the habit of going to the clubhouse to have fun." Chen Shen continued smoothly, the previous words seemed unintentional.
"So your suspect witness has a bad impression of Mrs. He because of other reasons?"
Chen Shen nodded, and he said: "According to common sense, people generally don't harbor malice towards a person they have never met, unless something special happened, such as being coerced Perjury or something."
"..." Lin Huai looked at Chen Shen, "You know this conjecture only makes Uncle He more suspicious, and it contradicts your inference of Uncle He's innocence."
"A lot of things are contradictory, and that's what it means to solve a case," Chen Shen said, pushing Lin Huai, "Come on, come on."
This is the reason, but he always felt that Chen Shen had nothing to say. Lin Huai stepped forward and showed the witness's ID. The witness was still smiling when he saw him, but when he saw the police ID, his expression changed instantly. He asked After making an excuse to send his girlfriend away, he looked at Lin Huai.
"Are you really a policeman...?" This person's appearance is also...too good, it's not too bad to say that he is walking by himself.
"Didn't I let you see the police certificate?" Lin Huai more or less guessed what this man was thinking, and didn't bother to talk nonsense. He directly asked, "Do you know Mrs. He?"
The witness opened his mouth for a few seconds, then quickly closed it firmly: "I don't know."
"I don't know? Isn't it unreasonable?" Lin Huai said, "You have testified in a sexual assault case before. This Mrs. He is the suspect's sister-in-law. Don't you know him?"
"Do you know everyone's sister-in-law?" The witness asked back, he asked with confidence, but saw Lin Huai and another person, another handsome guy who didn't look like a normal person at all, looked at each other, the person nodded He nodded, and then he was taken away for questioning.
The witness was originally very calm until Chen Shen took out the chat records.
"Is this fishing law enforcement?" The man almost jumped up.
"No, I may have considered changing jobs. The police have worked hard." Chen Shen said with a smile, while Fang Shu rolled his eyes on the spot.
Fortunately, Jiang Ke didn't intend to continue to provoke him, he just glanced at Chen Shen again, smiled slightly, and left directly after saying goodbye.
After a long time, Qi Li finally came back to his senses. He asked in disbelief: "Just let him go? Is this a clue?? Just give up???"
Fang Shu gave Chen Shen a deep look, and was also very irritable: "You can ask him."
The more Qi Li thought about it, the angrier he became, and when he was about to launch an attack, he realized that at some point, Chen Shen had disappeared, and he was with Lin Huai.
Here, Lin Huai was suddenly pulled away by the wrist by Chen Shen. Although he was inexplicable, he did not struggle. The two walked downstairs quickly. Lin Huai still couldn't help asking: "Why did you run away?"
"Hush," Chen Shen put his finger on his lips, "Qi Li is annoying, let him calm down."
"This matter, you said you have a new idea, what is it?" Lin Huai asked as he walked.
"Qi Li knows my new way of thinking, and he definitely wants to scold me." Chen Shen said.
Lin Huai reacted quickly. He couldn't believe it, but he felt that Chen Shen must have thought so: "You think Mr. He's uncle is innocent? Although he didn't have an alibi, he really didn't do that?? "
Although Chen Shen didn't answer, his expression affirmed Lin Huai's statement. Although Lin Huai came up with this idea himself, he was still shocked.
