Tiger Police

Chapter 238 Zhang Ligen

Hu Pingtao nodded: "Okay! You sign the record, and that's it for now!"

……

At around seven o'clock in the morning, it was Zhang Ligen's turn.

Hu Pingtao drank two large cups of coffee, without adding sugar, and only added a spoonful of non-dairy creamer. The taste was not bad, mainly for refreshment.

After washing his face with cold water, he returned to the interrogation room, looked at Zhang Ligen who was already sitting on the opposite chair, and asked seriously, "How did Zheng Qianshan die?"

Zhang Ligen blinked and said cautiously: "I don't know."

"Don't make circles with me." Hu Pingtao didn't lose his temper, he said lightly: "Do you know why I brought you here so early? I was busy all night last night. Wang Qingguo, Yang Dafu, and Tao Xingzheng, all three of them Confessed."

Zhang Ligen's thin body trembled slightly, he tried hard to control his emotions and did not speak.

Hu Pingtao saw everything in his eyes, and continued to put pressure on him: "He Yuxian is also under our control, and she is next door now. After you finish asking, it will be her turn."

"You have always planned to deal with Zheng Qianshan, but you didn't have that ability before. To kill or harm someone, you must either rely on your own strength, or you have to spend money. This demolition, you have divided hundreds of thousands at once. You want to take revenge. So I made an appointment with Wang Qingguo, Yang Dafu, Tao Xingzheng, and He Yuxian, to work together."

"This kind of thing can't be hidden from our eyes. The police are not easy to eat. You gave them a deposit of tens of thousands of yuan each, and you only need to go to the bank to check the transfer records."

Zhang Ligen pursed his lips tightly, lowered his head, and said nothing.

Hu Pingtao continued: "I know you are not a bad person. I sympathize with what happened to you back then. But this cannot be a reason for you to kill people to vent your anger and commit crimes."

Suddenly, Zhang Ligen let out a deafening roar.

"Zheng Qianshan is a scumbag, he must die!"

"God has no eyes, good people don't live long, bad people live long... Is there any fairness in this world?"

He tried his best to straighten up, but because of the constraints of the handcuffs and the fixed chair, he could only half bow and roar.

Hu Pingtao hurried over and held him down with another policeman.In order to prevent accidents, special shackles were added to him.

"Calm down!" Hu Pingtao yelled at Zhang Ligen: "If you have anything to say, any problem can be solved. This will not do you any good, and may even add to the crime."

The old Zhang Ligen stared at his eyes, the sockets of which were bloodshot: "I am already at this age, I will die when I die, who is afraid of whom?"

"Think about your family, your relatives." Hu Pingtao persuaded repeatedly: "I know you are not afraid of death, but what's the point of dying like this? You are a murderer, but what about Zheng Qianshan? He is a victim!"

Hearing these words, Zhang Ligen burst into tears.

He lay prone on the one-piece fixed chair, crying loudly.

"Zheng Qianshan is an old bastard... I was not like this. I should have a family, a wife and children..."

"He ruined me, I must kill him!"

"I really regret it! It would be great if I didn't gamble at the beginning!"

Seeing his crying gradually subsided, Hu Pingtao handed over a tissue and persuaded patiently: "If you want to open up, even if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about the people around you."

Zhang Ligen took the tissue and wiped the corners of his eyes.

Hu Pingtao watched his emotional changes, and asked coldly: "Do you like He Yuxian?"

This question was so sudden that Zhang Ligen was stunned.He raised his head and looked at Hu Pingtao. He didn't know how to answer for a while, but the panic in his eyes was so obvious that he couldn't hide it.

Hu Pingtao said in a low voice: "Like I said, the police are not just for nothing. Let alone you, we can find murderers even in rotting corpses. What's more, now that technology is so advanced, many things can be investigated. The truth came out."

"Zhang Ligen, you are a smart man, and you have a good abacus. From the very beginning, you wanted to put the blame on our police, and deliberately created a situation where "the police catch gambling and scare people to death". But you don't even think about it, There are two public surveillance cameras on the road from the commercial street to the alley of the mahjong hall, and the section from the outside of the commercial street to the parking lot of the police booth. Our patrolling comrades have sufficient alibi, and you fooled them casually Can a few sentences be used as evidence?"

"Be honest! Don't even think about dragging people into the water. It should be your responsibility and yours. I know you want to involve Wang Qingguo, Yang Dafu, and Tao Xingzheng together to help you reduce your guilt...I'm fair and just. One sentence: You think too much."

Zhang Ligen looked blank, his lips were trembling slightly, but he didn't make a sound.

He felt that his back was stiff, and there was a pain that slowly penetrated from his bones to his muscles.

"I...you..." Zhang Ligen wanted to argue, but when his eyes touched Hu Pingtao, he found that although that handsome face was smiling, it revealed an extremely strong element of danger.

The eyes of this young policeman are very sharp, and there is a special power that directly penetrates people's hearts.Just the most common gaze, Zhang Ligen was stared at by the other party and had to lower his head.For a moment, he felt a wave of real fear, and the hairs on his arms stood on end.

Hu Pingtao sat on a chair, took out a cigarette and a lighter, took out one, lit it, and smoked slowly.

All that needs to be said has been said, and confrontation in silence is also a means.Not all criminals will be honest about their problems, but being tough is not the best choice.Psychological change is a complex and indescribable process that requires thinking and waiting.

Of course, this does not mean indefinite silence.

"...you...what do you want to know?" It was a simple sentence with a hoarse voice, but it revealed Zhang Ligen's thoughts at the moment.

Hu Pingtao's eyes began to turn cold, his tone and tone of voice were no longer as gentle as before, but became as cold and hard as a rock: "Let me remind you again, this is not an ordinary case, let alone manslaughter. You , He Yuxian, and Wang Qingguo, Yang Dafu, and Tao Xingzheng conspired to kill Zheng Qianshan. Even if Zheng Qianshan used fraudulent means to defraud you of a large amount of money, he is not guilty of death. And the most important point——You He is just an ordinary person and has no power to decide whether a person dies or dies."

Zhang Ligen curled up, no longer as wild and violent as before.His voice was weak, and he asked timidly and incredulously: "I... If I said... I mean, confess everything... How many years will I be sentenced?"

"It depends on your attitude." Hu Pingtao looked directly at him, his tough tone remained unchanged: "Be lenient when you confess, and strict when you resist."

Zhang Ligen has no cards in his hand.

After a long silence, he finally gave up resisting.

"Sanshan Village is a poor place. Although it is on the edge of the city, every household is the same. The biggest problem is finding a wife."

"He Yuxian and I were classmates in elementary school, and we lost contact when we entered junior high school. That fall, I went to sell grain at the grain depot of the Agriculture Bureau, and met her. At first, I felt familiar, but I didn't dare to recognize her. It was she who called me. Speaking of the [-]th change of the female college, she is really beautiful...Of course, at that time, whether a woman was beautiful or not was very different from now. She has a thick waist, is good at doing crop work, has fair skin, and big buttocks. There is also a big braid, which looks like a good birth."

"One to two, we'll be fine."

"Actually, I didn't know what love was at that time. I just felt very happy to be with her. We kissed each other, and we almost slept together without taking off our clothes. She urged me to go to her house to propose a marriage, saying that this would not work. , sooner or later something will happen, you still have to get married, and you can only count if you get the red book."

"He Yuxian's father looked down on me, saying that I was too poor, and was afraid that my daughter would marry me and suffer hardships with me... This is the truth, and it is not a deliberate embarrassment. I thought that the living can't be suffocated to death by urine, just like Yuxian Discuss, let her wait for me for a few years, I took off the farm work in the field and went to work outside. It’s hard work, and I have to earn a living.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Ligen's eyes turned red again: "Those years outside, I lived like a beggar. Steamed buns were cheap, ten cents each, and later rose to [-] cents. I ate steamed buns every morning, noon, and night. Two each. I usually work on the construction site, and occasionally share some vegetables with the workers. Most of the time, I buy a bag of salt, go to the vegetable market to pick up unwanted vegetable leaves, take them back, remove the rotten parts, and wash them clean , tear it into small pieces, marinate it, put it on steamed buns and eat it.”

"When you're thirsty, drink tap water."

"In this way, I managed to save more than 2 yuan. This was a huge sum of money at the time. Let alone building a house in the village, it would be enough to buy a house directly in the city."

"Zheng Qianshan has a bad conscience... That year when I went home, I met him at the entrance of the village. This man, after wandering outside for a long time, felt homesick, and felt that the people he knew, especially the fellow villagers, were very kind. Zheng Qianshan The village has a bad reputation, bastards, gambling, seducing widows...but I didn't think about that at that time, and I said whatever he asked."

Hu Pingtao sighed secretly: "You told him that you are going to build a new house?"

"I said I want to marry a daughter-in-law." Zhang Ligen lowered his head, shrugged his shoulders, and sobbed in a low voice: "I... I am a man, and I have lived up to Yuxian. When I said I wanted to save money to marry her, it was really... Woooo... I really made a lot of money by my own ability... I... I want to use the money to build a house... Woo, and it is the best and largest house in the village. I want to make her beautiful Marry here and make all women envy."

"When I left Guangzhou, I called Yuxian and told her the approximate time of my return. In fact, I lied on the phone and delayed my arrival home by two days."

As someone who has experienced it, Hu Pingtao understood this quite well, and asked sympathetically, "Do you want to surprise her?"

Zhang Ligen wiped away tears with the sleeve of his clothes, raised his head, and said stubbornly and painfully: "Yuxian's father looks down on me, I want to fight for Yuxian's face. Let her father take a good look, I, Zhang Ligen, am an upright man , is a real man."

This is more self-exaggeration than reality.Hu Pingtao twitched the corners of his mouth, didn't answer, and even felt a little slander in his heart——Zhang Ligen seems to be a reasonable guy, but why did he go so early?The slogans were shouted loudly, but in the end he was not down and out. He said it nicely, but he was actually a waste with no hands-on ability.

"Zheng Qianshan said that we haven't seen each other for many years, and he wants to invite me to dinner." Zhang Ligen continued: "I couldn't lose face, so I followed. It happened to be a market that day, and he had a drink with a few people. I ate with them, I heard that Zheng Qianshan and those two kept bragging about playing cards for money. They even took out a deck of cards and gambled at the dinner table."

"A deck of cards is placed on the table with their backs on their backs. Each person draws one card. Whoever has the bigger point wins. Nine points is the biggest, and those who wear clothes (JQK) count as half point, which is smaller than A. Draw once and press down." Ten yuan, and if you win three times, you will get a meal."

"It's interesting to watch them play. I think ten yuan a bet is not a big deal. With Zheng Qianshan at the side, we played together."

"I won 50 yuan that day, and I gave more than 20 yuan for the meal. I think the money is really quick. I feel that Zheng Qianshan has a good temper and is not as bad as the villagers say."

"After I went home, Zheng Qianshan came again in the afternoon, saying that he had invited a friend to make golden flowers together, and asked me if I would go."

"I think I just won money at noon. If I shirk it, I really can't save face, so I agree."

"That's all my money! Cutting the bomb twice, three-five, I will remember it firmly in my life, and I will never forget it even if I am a ghost."

"After losing the money, I went home in a daze, and sat on the ground, unwilling to move, unwilling to think about anything... It was really a dream! It felt so unreal, but when I touched my pocket, there was nothing in it. Empty, nothing."

"Later, Yuxian came. She heard that I was back, so she found her home. She asked me what happened and why I didn't contact her when I came back. I...I...I really have no face to face her , hugging my head and crying for a while, I couldn't hide from Yuxian's question, so I told the matter again."

"Yuxian...she slapped me a few times, found a stick from the firewood room, and beat me up...I didn't hide, I knew it was not proper, I did it myself, take care The days of the torment are gone."

Hu Pingtao frowned slightly, feeling that Zhang Ligen was not as tough as imagined, but rather cowardly, even a puddle of mud that could not even be used to paste walls.

"Why didn't you call the police at that time?" The question was straightforward and realistic: "If you call the police, even if you are arrested and detained for participating in gambling, you can get back some of your gambling money."

Desperation and regret appeared in Zhang Ligen's eyes: "They said... once they call the police, the money will be confiscated, and those involved will be arrested and sent to prison."

Hu Pingtao shook his head resentfully: "The police are reasonable. Although some of them will be confiscated, as long as you explain the situation, the person in charge will handle it as appropriate. After all, it was more than 2 yuan in those years... You can ask the village committee Will come forward, at least half of it can be returned."
