Age of the Mist

Chapter 1029 A Little Heavy Heart
The Downing Street murders were a very simple case.

The facts are clear, the traces are obvious, the murder was done with passion, and there was no special plan or pre-prepared means to get rid of the crime.The whole thing was lackluster, not at all the mysteries and mysteries in detective novels.Not good looking, not exciting, no mystery, no twist.

But that's the reality.

The vast majority of homicides in reality are of this simple and crude type.

The suspect was caught faster than Cheng Long expected, and the suspect was caught before the two of them went to track down Epton again.

The two returned to the police station, and Kennedy came to explain the situation.

"Sheriff Lincoln and his team were speeding at the police station on Xilin Avenue, when they suddenly saw a naked man running and shouting at him. That man was Epton. Not long after Epton ran over, the suspect appeared with a knife .”

Cheng Long: "Are our people injured?"

"No." Kennedy shook his head: "The suspect had no intention of resisting at all, and dropped the knife on the spot and knelt on the ground."

"That is to say, that man killed his wife and daughter, but let the adulterer slip away? What a fool!" Cheng Long directly put his disdain on his face: "That Epton escaped a catastrophe , What a lucky dog."

"It doesn't count." Kennedy looked embarrassed: "When Epton appeared, he was too exaggerated, running and yelling naked. The Lincoln police officer regarded him as a lunatic who tried to attack the police when he was on high drugs. He drew his gun and shot him. Capton fell to the ground on the spot. He is still being rescued in the hospital, and I don’t know if he has medical insurance and whether he can be saved.”

Cheng Long's expression was dazed: "I really want to understand why the suspect immediately threw the knife and knelt down."

"Let's go." Shi Tiexin walked towards the interrogation room: "Let's interrogate this suspect."

The suspect was quickly brought into the interrogation room.

His interrogation went very well, or too well.

The suspect was in a strange state of mind, he neither quibbled nor concealed, and said something that was particularly cooperative.There was no need for Shi Tiexin to speak, Cheng Long had already examined it thoroughly.

"Name."

"Ma Zhaodong."

"Chinese?"

"Yes."

"Profession."

"As a chef at Qingjiang Restaurant, I am good at stewing fish."

"Motive for murder."

"My wife cheated, I couldn't accept it, so I quarreled with her. I didn't want to kill people, I just wanted to scare her with a knife, but I did it after arguing." Ma Zhaodong looked empty: "At that time, I seemed to be possessed. , I couldn’t control myself at all. When I came back to my senses, I made a big mistake.”

Cheng Long asked a key question: "Why did you kill your daughter? Do you suspect that your daughter is not your own?"

When this topic was mentioned, pain and remorse finally surfaced on Ma Zhaodong's numb face: "No, I don't doubt it, I'm sure my daughter is my daughter."

"Then why did you kill the girl?"

"Because I'm worried about her."

"What?" Shi Tiexin frowned and said, with a glint in his eyes: "You were worried about her, so you killed her?"

"Yes." Ma Zhaodong slumped in the interrogation chair, looking up at the ceiling: "She is a weak child, and she doesn't have the courage to live alone. I killed her mother, and I have to go to jail. How should she live outside alone? ?”

"This world is too difficult and too bitter. If no one takes care of her, how will she live? How much suffering will she suffer? Will she be trafficked or persecuted? Will she take drugs or sell her? Yin? I don't want her to suffer in the world, so I just let her get rid of it once and for all, saving the rest of her life from being miserable."

This reason made Cheng Long dumbfounded, not knowing how to comment.

"Hey, police officer, I've said everything I should say. It's all the truth. Whether it's fixed-term imprisonment, life imprisonment, or even the electric chair, I accept it. This is my crime. If you are guilty, you will be rewarded."

"But officer, I'm still grateful to you. I was going to be unable to catch up, but I didn't expect you to kill that bastard with one shot. It's a reincarnation. God spares no one. Since God has eyes, then kill me I deserve it too."

Shi Tiexin pushed the pen and leaned back in the chair with a calm expression.

Ten minutes later, outside the interrogation room, Cheng Long brought a thermos cup of tea: "Boss, I don't seem to be in a good mood. That's right, I follow you to handle cases these days, and I see those disgusting, sinful, painful, and desperate people. , Life and death, I always feel very low."

Shi Tiexin took a sip of the thermos cup as an oral solution, and his eyes were deep: "The police are facing all the evils in this world. Without a strong and steady will, the soul is indeed easily stained with lead and becomes dull."

This is a common occupational confusion among police officers.

Shi Tiexin's determination is already very strong, but he still has [Supernatural Feeling].

He knew that Ma Zhaodong was telling the truth, and he could feel Ma Zhaodong's love for his wife and daughter.If there is no love, he will not be crazy, he will not be hysterical, and his sanity will not be shattered.

But the more it was like this, the more it made Shi Tiexin unhappy.

Shi Tiexin attaches great importance to family, the harmony between husband and wife, and the love between parents and children.The stronger his love for his family and the greater his vision, the more he can't see Ma Zhaodong's distortion.

Shi Tiexin thought of Chu Feiyan, that guy was in mourning all day long, and he once stared at the dead fish and said half-deadly, "The most regrettable thing is to learn the Psychic Department".Thinking about it today, it seems a little clear.

But he is not Chu Feiyan after all.

His heart is much firmer, and he has no shortage of people who understand him.

Point someone to sigh in Wuxin Zen Lotus: "It is said that angels who kill demons will also degenerate into demons in the end. I don't think it is unreasonable. If things go on like this, even if they don't degenerate, they will still be anxious, angry, panic, and Doubt, and finally lose your normal mentality. If you and I are determined, what about the ordinary police?"

"Two ways." Shi Tiexin replied: "The first way is to harden your heart. A soft heart becomes hard and numb, just like a thick fist that has been honed with calluses, and it no longer feels ordinary. Whether it is the suspect or the victim, they have all evolved into symbols, and if you separate yourself from those symbols in terms of psychological cognition and emotional connections, you will have no feeling.”

This is the approach of most front-line police officers.

Somebody nodded, then shook his head again: "Unfortunately, I can't do this. If I disconnect from the victim emotionally, and don't feel the darkness of the darkness, how can I illuminate the gloomy corner? If I can't communicate with the person being warmed Empathize with me, how could the sun be just warm instead of extremely hot? The first method is not suitable for me."

"Then there is another way." Shi Tiexin touched the thermos cup, feeling the warmth of the cup, with a trace of tenderness in his eyes: "The lonely star is facing the dead universe. If you don't want to be engulfed by darkness, then find a The same light that can illuminate you, find your own source of warmth."

"A person who depends on you for life and death, a person who can trust each other, has the purest, most beautiful and purest relationship. As long as you have this person, you will always believe in the existence of truth, goodness and beauty, and then no amount of pollution will be purified. , No amount of cloud will be dispelled."

Pointing to someone can't help but look forward to: "I really hope to meet such a person."

"Don't worry, we will meet." Shi Tiexin touched his heart: "People who are destined will meet eventually."
