Tiger Police

Chapter 313 Zhang Yacui's Doubt
"As long as he says it, this matter has nothing to do with you. At that time, if you want to fight for leniency, you will have no chance."

Li Bowen still didn't say a word.But within a few seconds, he would always raise his eyelids, and his eyes would subconsciously turn around Hu Pingtao and Lu Xiaoxu.There are elements of doubt and concern, some annoyance, and more timidity.

After a long time, he finally spoke, his voice was very low: "...what do you want to know?"

He then added very quickly: "I really didn't kill anyone."

The stone in Lu Xiaoxu's heart finally settled.He asked seriously: "Why did you choose Xiaofengshan as the destination for the outing?"

Li Bowen hesitated for a moment, and said slowly, "Yes... Zhang Yacui asked me to do this."

Although Hu Pingtao and Lu Xiaoxu had discussed this issue many times before, and each had their own thinking patterns and reasons, no one thought that the real reason Li Bowen said was this.

Lu Xiaoxu suppressed the surprise in his heart, and asked calmly, "Why did Zhang Yacui go to Xiaofeng Mountain?"

"I don't know." Li Bowen said these words quickly, as if he was lying.

Lu Xiaoxu was a little angry. He pointed at Li Bowen and said sharply, "You'd better think it through before you speak. This is your last chance."

Li Bowei trembled slightly again after being yelled at by him, crying repeatedly: "I...I really don't know!"

Hu Pingtao raised his hand to block Lu Xiaoxu who was about to get angry, looked at Li Bowen, and said in a calm tone as much as possible: "Let's do this! You just talk about the ins and outs of this matter, be careful, and there must be no omissions. "

Li Bowen nodded again and again as if he had received an amnesty: "Okay, okay."

"The school arranges outings at this time every year. According to the past practice, the teacher will give us several scenic spots for us to choose freely. Because the situation of each grade and class is different, the scenic spots given by the teacher are different. Some I will choose museums, sometimes I will go to parks, and sometimes I will go to playgrounds... This kind of thing mainly depends on the age of the students in each class, not necessarily."

"As far as I know, teachers in many classes have not listed Xiaofengshan as an outing destination this year. I have no idea about it. I am a very casual person, and I will go wherever everyone chooses. After all I don't have much interest in outings, and I will probably ask for leave at that time."

Hu Pingtao asked seriously: "Why do you want to ask for leave?"

Li Bowen hesitated, and replied in a low voice: "I like to stay at home and play games."

Hu Pingtao said "Oh": "Go on!"

Li Bowen's mood was better than before, and he was not as nervous as before: "Later Zhang Yacui came to me and said that she wanted to go to Xiaofengshan, and asked me...let me help contact other students... Well, this matter has to be divided into two steps What to do: firstly, persuade the teacher to add this place to the list of picnic attractions, and secondly, when the class votes, make sure that more than half of the people choose Xiaofengshan.”

Hu Pingtao's voice was full of deep meaning: "How did you operate it?"

Li Bowen raised his head, looked into Hu Pingtao's eyes, and then looked away: "I... I asked Guan Xinwei to contact other students in school, treat them to Coke, and eat. When choosing, it is natural that what I say, they will do."

Hu Pingtao moved his fingers, and said lightly: "You must speak in order. If the teacher in charge of the class did not list Xiaofeng Mountain as an optional scenic spot, your subsequent operations will be meaningless... Tell me, how did you Let the teacher change his mind?"

"I really don't know about this." Li Bowen raised his hands in a panic, shaking them all the time: "When Zhang Yacui came to me and told me about it, Xiaofeng Mountain hadn't been added to the selection of scenic spots announced by the teacher. But later ... After about a week or so, Xiaofeng Mountain will appear in the selection of scenic spots."

He was terrified, and his tone and rhythm of speaking were a bit chaotic, but the meaning he expressed was very clear.

Hu Pingtao and Lu Xiaoxu looked at each other, and saw unexpected glances in each other's eyes.

Lu Xiaoxu turned his attention to Li Bowen and asked seriously, "Are you sure?"

Li Bowen nodded quickly: "I'm sure. I really didn't lie to you."

Hu Pingtao's eyes narrowed slightly.

In this way, the situation becomes complicated.

Originally thought that the change of the school's outing destination was controlled by Li Bowen behind the scenes.Now it seems that the truth is very different from speculation.

Hu Pingtao relaxed the expression on his face, and continued to ask: "Why did you let Guan Xinwei take charge of this matter instead of choosing someone else?"

"Guan Xinwei has a very good relationship with me, he listens to me very much." Li Bowen said: "We are classmates in elementary school, and we often play together."

Lu Xiaoxu asked: "How many people did you ask Guan Xinwei to contact?"

Li Bowen was a little hesitant. Instead of rushing to answer, he fell into several minutes of thinking.

After a long time, a strange expression appeared on his face, and he said slowly: "Speaking of this matter, I feel strange even thinking about it now. When Zhang Yacui said at the time that he wanted to go to Xiaofeng Mountain and asked me to help with the secret operation, I I always thought it would be enough to just contact the classmates in the class. But later she told me that the scope of contact must be expanded, and it is best to let all the classes in the school choose Xiaofengshan as an outing destination."

"All the classes?" Lu Xiaoxu was a little impatient, and couldn't help blurting out: "Why?"

"I don't know." Li Bowen kept shaking his head: "Anyway, that's what she said at the time. These are her original words."

Lu Xiaoxu has always listed Li Bowen as a major suspect, and asked coldly: "Who can prove it?"

Li Bowen was tongue-tied and speechless—the person was already dead, and there was no proof of death.

Hu Pingtao changed the question: "Even if Zhang Yacui asked you to do this, Guan Xinwei alone has so many students in the school. Does he have so much time and energy?"

"……this……"

When Li Bowen was asked, he fell into thinking again. When the matter reached this point, he couldn't continue to hide it, so he could only bite the bullet and answer: "At first, I only asked Guan Xinwei to help. Later, Zhang Yacui proposed that all the classes in the school In this way, I can only continue to look for people... I searched for all the classmates who usually have a good relationship in school, and asked them to invite acquaintances in other grades and classes. The reason is that everyone has basically been to parks and museums, which is boring. Xiaofeng Mountain is a newly developed scenic spot, and camping is possible.”

Lu Xiaoxu asked sarcastically: "It's still the old way, treating guests to dinner?"

Li Bowen was obviously afraid of him, and nodded timidly: "...Yes."

Lu Xiaoxu didn't intend to let him go just like that, and asked after him, "It costs money to buy snacks and soft drinks. According to the information we have, besides Guan Xinwei, you invited at least dozens of people to help you with things this time. Hehe ... Li Bowen, the benefit you give out at once is a huge amount. Where did you get so much money?"

After a pause, Lu Xiaoxu stared at him firmly: "Don't tell me that your parents gave it to you."

Li Bowen was forced to be speechless: "I...I..."

His face was red and white, and he didn't speak for a long time.

Hu Pingtao insinuated: "Don't try to hide it. To tell you the truth, we are very clear about the things between you, Yao Xinqiu, and Zhang Yacui."

Li Bowen was taken aback for a moment, and continued to pretend to be confused: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"You don't give up until you reach the Yellow River!" Hu Pingtao sighed, and told what he had learned and what Yao Xinqiu had recorded in his diary.Of course, he didn't mention the diary, only saying that it was evidence collected by the police.

Li Bowen was dumbfounded.

Lu Xiaoxu said coldly: "How does it feel to step on two boats?"

Li Bowen lowered his head, his eyes were full of fear, and even a little bit of despair.

"I... I really didn't kill anyone!" He clings to this sentence, crying, "I really don't have that much money, so I can only ask Yao Xinqiu for some, plus my savings... It's all gone this time."

Lu Xiaoxu asked: "How much did you spend in total?"

"Around 11 yuan, less than 12 yuan." Li Bowen looked very depressed: "I promised to give Guan Xinwei 5000 yuan after the matter is completed, and the others range from [-] to [-] yuan. After you get it here, go to your respective classes to distribute it... In fact, this kind of thing is not difficult to do, as long as you have money."

Hu Pingtao asked: "How much money did you get from Yao Xinqiu?"

Li Bowen replied hesitantly: "I don't remember the exact number clearly. I took it several times. The total amount is about tens of thousands! Yao Xinqiu used to work in an adult chat room, and I took a few pictures with my mobile phone. Photos. She has the handle in my hands, so every time I ask her for money, she won't refuse, it's just the amount."

Lu Xiaoxu asked sarcastically, "Isn't she your girlfriend? You still treat her like this?"

The expression on Li Bowen's face was a bit bitter: "Because she is my girlfriend, I have to catch her."

Hu Pingtao asked: "I've done the math, and the combined money of you and Yao Xinqiu is less than 8 yuan. You just said that you spent a total of more than 11 yuan to operate this matter, so where did the rest of the money come from?" "

"This..." Li Bowen seemed extremely reluctant, and replied hesitantly: "...the other money...is given to me by Zhang Yacui."

This answer surprised Hu Pingtao and Lu Xiaoxu.

"Zhang Yacui?" Lu Xiaoxu frowned deeply, expressing doubts about what Li Bowen said: "She asked you to do things for her, and she gave you money instead?"

Li Bowen looked up at him: "This is normal!"

Lu Xiaoxu gently waved his hands: "The relationship between you and Zhang Yacui is very unusual. Don't think we don't know anything. You and Zhang Yacui had a non-friendship intimate relationship, and she was pregnant with your child."

Li Bowen's eyes widened immediately: "...how... how do you know?"

Hu Pingtao looked at him with a half-smile: "Don't forget, we are policemen. This is our profession. Zhang Yacui used pregnancy as an excuse to blackmail you into giving her money. It's normal. But since this kind of relationship between you relationship, why did she ask you to do things for her by giving money instead?"

The last line of defense in Li Bowen's mind completely collapsed.

He knew there was nothing to hide anymore.

"Since you all know, I have no choice but to tell the truth." Li Bowen felt indescribably relaxed after completely letting go of the constraints in his heart: "The relationship between me and Zhang Yacui...is actually her initiative to seduce me. How many men will refuse a woman who comes to the door? Anyway, it is the meat that is delivered to the mouth, so eat it if you eat it."

"At first, I thought that Zhang Yacui really wanted to be my girlfriend and took Yao Xinqiu's position. In fact, we were just playing around with her. Yao Xinqiu is my sure-fire girlfriend, and my parents are very satisfied with her. My dad also said: He only recognizes Yao Xinqiu as his daughter-in-law."

"Later I found out that Zhang Yacui was doing it for my money. She was very greedy. She asked me for [-] today and [-] tomorrow. How could I have so much money for her? Later, I simply ignored her, but she told me, It’s because she’s pregnant, so let me figure it out. If I ignore it, she’ll go to my parents with a big belly, and go to the school and remember to make things worse.”

Lu Xiaoxu suddenly remembered about Zhang Yacui's autopsy report, and there was no record of the deceased being pregnant.He immediately asked: "Then is Zhang Yacui pregnant?"

Li Bowen looked miserable: "She showed me a test sheet, which indeed says so."

Lu Xiaoxu suddenly understood, and kept shaking his head: "You are such an adult, you never thought that this is fake, she is lying to you?"

Li Bowen sighed: "After the car accident, I also thought about it, but it was too late. When I saw the test report, I was scared and panicked. I just wanted to solve the problem quickly and get rid of her burden. Far away, I didn't even think about verifying the authenticity."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "So Zhang Yacui has been asking you for money, and you can only agree."

Li Bowen raised his hand and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead: "She asked me for 50 yuan later, where can I get it!"

Hu Pingtao asked again: "Then, have you ever thought about why Zhang Yacui gave you money in reverse and asked you to do things for her when it came to choosing an outing spot?"

Li Bowen shook his head: "I don't know... I really don't know, she didn't tell me, not a single word."

Hu Pingtao contemplated, and after a few seconds, he asked seriously: "Think about it carefully, has Zhang Yacui asked you anything else besides this matter?"

Li Bowen thought for a long time, hesitatingly said: "There is one thing, I don't know if it counts..."

Hu Pingtao gave him an encouraging look: "Say it!"

Li Bowen said: "It was half a year ago when Zhang Yacui asked me if I would repair cars. Because my dad runs a repair shop, it's not surprising that she asked. At that time, I didn't have the kind of relationship with her that later. , Yao Xinqiu has a very good relationship with her, and out of the desire to show off, I... I said... I can repair it."
