Tiger Police

Chapter 445 face to face

"So it doesn't matter what you say about me. Look down on me, think I'm mean and shameless, or something worse... But you can't charge me with "intentional homicide"."

"I buy the insurance for Gong Xinxia year by year. The reason why it is based on the year is that on the one hand, I am not sure when her accident happened, and on the other hand, the insurance company has a policy that treats old customers There are discounts. Just like car insurance, for example, if you buy 3000 yuan of car insurance in the first year, if you drive safely without any accidents or scratches, the car insurance in the second year can be reduced by several hundred yuan , and so on in the third year... In short, the rules and regulations of the insurance company are written in black and white on paper, and it is normal for me to do so."

Hu Pingtao did not continue to ask questions.

He played with the cigarette case on the table, lost in thought.

Xing Le opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he blocked it by raising his hand, and was forced to retract the words that had reached his mouth.

For a moment, Hu Pingtao glanced at Liao Cunxue, and said lightly: "Let's leave it like this for now!"

Liao Cunxue did not expect such a result.He tentatively asked, "Can I go back?"

Hu Pingtao didn't have any further explanations: "The matter is not clear yet, don't rush to leave."

Liao Cunxue's tone softened a bit: "That... mainly because I have other affairs at home. Look at the matter about my wife, as long as you want to know, I will tell you everything. It is meaningless to stay in the police station!"

Hu Pingtao raised his hand and nodded lightly at him: "Human life is at stake, and many things cannot be slipped away just by talking about them."

Liao Cunxue's face tightened, and then he put on a nonchalant expression: "Anyway, Gong Xinxia's death has nothing to do with me. She accidentally fell into the lake while riding an electric bike, and she can't blame anyone else."

Hu Pingtao stood up from the chair, turned around and told Tan Tao who was sitting beside him: "Take him into custody first, and we will talk about it later if there is any problem."

He then turned to face Liao Cunxue, and said with a half-smile: "There is another suspect in this case, Zhang Hao. He is your friend. We will talk to you face to face when we find him."

……

While the two police officers took out the keys to unlock and unlock Liao Cunxue from the chair, Hu Pingtao reached out and grabbed Xing Le's clothes from under the table. The latter followed closely knowingly, and the two quickly walked out one after another trial room.

Standing in the corridor outside, Hu Pingtao looked sideways at the interrogation room with the door ajar, leaned close to Xing Le's ear, and said in a low voice, "I'll explain to Tan Tao later, and ask him to hand over Liao Cunxue to you. Escorted to the No. [-] confinement room."

Xing Le asked puzzledly: "Why?"

Hu Pingtao pointed to the courtyard inside the police station and explained: "The confinement room is on the north side, and you have to go around the courtyard to get in. Liao Cunxue is very difficult to deal with, he is full of false teeth, but the things he said are still valid, we live for a while There is nothing I can do to get him. After thinking about it, I think I can only start with Zhang Hao."

"Zhang Hao has already been sent to the detention center. I will open a list later and ask Tan Tao and Xiao Ding to go and get him back. What you have to do now is to escort Liao Cunxue to the No. [-] confinement room as slowly as possible. Some. Better talk to him."

Xing Le didn't understand the meaning of Hu Pingtao's words, and muttered unhappily: "I'm not a psychiatrist, so what can I talk to him about?"

"You can talk about anything you want." Hu Pingtao explained in a low voice, half joking and half serious: "I found out that Liao Cunxue kept staring at you during the interrogation. I guess it's because you are beautiful."

Xing Le was quite annoyed: "Hey, you're over now! What is this? Beauty trap?"

Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "This normal conversation is being used as a beauty trick by you. It is really too cheap. Don't worry! It's not as serious as you think. At the end of the interrogation just now, I deliberately mentioned Zhang Hao , just to defraud Liao Cunxue. Now you are escorting him over, mainly talking about Gong Xinxia, ​​just talking about women, any topic like body, appearance, cosmetics, etc. is fine."

Xing Le understood a little bit, she nodded slightly, and said hesitantly: "Then...how long?"

"You can figure it out!" Hu Pingtao said with a smile: "Anyway, it takes a long time to raise a demand from the detention center, and it takes several hours to come and go. Come to my office after you finish talking, and let's have a good discussion. case."

……

The idea is good, but in reality it is not.

Calls from the [-] Command Center came one after another, and all police cases had to be dealt with immediately. Hu Pingtao could only put the case on hold temporarily and take people out to deal with civil disputes.

After finally dealing with everything, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening.

Tan Tao and Ding Yi brought Zhang Hao back from the detention center.

According to Hu Pingtao's intention, Zhang Hao was detained in the No. [-] interrogation room.

There are three confinement rooms, located behind the courtyard of the Eryuan Road Police Station, and connected to the interrogation room in the front yard by a passage.On the whole, it is an "L" shaped corridor, bounded by stairs in the middle, and the backyard is the confinement room No. [-], No. [-], and No. [-] from north to south, and the front yard is also in the same orientation and order.

In fact, this is an improved version of the prison cell.Strictly speaking, it is no different from a prison in the true sense except that there are no armed guards.

Zhou Changhao sent a meal to Liao Cunxue who was locked in the confinement room.The dishes are very simple, one meat and one vegetarian.

Under normal circumstances, the police station does not care about food.

Passed in the disposable lunch box containing the meals, and watched Liao Cunxue reach out to catch it, Zhou Changhao said flatly: "Don't throw the lunch box around after eating, just put it away with the chopsticks and put it on the ground. Don't mess it up for me Now, be careful and I will punish you for cleaning the toilet when you turn around."

Liao Cunxue agreed with his mouth, hurriedly put the lid on, and took the rice into his mouth with big mouthfuls.It's been a day, apart from eating two fried dough sticks and a bowl of soy milk in the morning, he is already starving.

Looking at Liao Cunxue who was reincarnated like a starved ghost, an imperceptible smile flashed across Zhou Changhao's eyes, and he turned and walked out of the confinement room.

He didn't close the door, but deliberately closed the door halfway, leaving about half a meter of space, and then turned sideways and shouted at Liao Cunxue who was locked in the cell: "Hurry up and eat, I will collect the lunch box later."

Liao Cunxue was so busy eating that he couldn't even answer, so he could only mumble "Mmmm" twice and nod vigorously.

After 2 minutes, footsteps were suddenly heard in the corridor outside.

Liao Cunxue thought it was Zhou Changhao who came back, so he hurriedly put the leftover food into his mouth in two or three bites, and swallowed it whole without thinking about chewing.In fact, after eating most of the food in the box, the hunger is no longer very strong.But Liao Cunxue heard that most of the people who were caught in the "chat" did not have enough to eat.The main meals were of poor quality and in small quantities.Just like what Chi Zhiqiang sang in "Prisoner's Song" back then: holding the steamed bread in his hand, there is not a drop of oil in the bowl.

He was terrified, and he wanted to eat as much as possible before things were cleared up.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and soon they reached the door of the No. [-] confinement room.

Through the half-open door, Liao Cunxue saw a familiar figure.

He suddenly widened his eyes, and his pupils suddenly constricted.

It was a silhouette that I was extremely familiar with——Zhang Hao.

Ding Yi held Zhang Hao and kept cursing.

"Go faster, don't dawdle."

"You didn't eat! What does it look like to be soft-handed and soft-footed?"

"Believe it or not, I beat you with a whip?"

Cursing as he walked, when he reached the door of No. [-] confinement room, Ding Yi grabbed Zhang Hao's shoulder from behind and forced him to turn around. Just as he was about to push him into the room, Zhou Changhao, who had been preparing for a long time, suddenly came from the corner of the opposite corridor. Appeared, hurriedly raised his finger at Ding Yi: "Xiao Ding, what are you doing?"

Ding Yi pretended to be puzzled: "The director asked me to bring this prisoner here from the detention center. Isn't the confinement room No. [-] empty, so I will lock it in for now."

Zhou Changhao quickened his pace and came here, yelling as he walked: "There is a person locked up there, take him to the front yard to have a look, there are still vacant rooms over there."

Ding Yi let out an "oh", grabbed Zhang Hao's arm, pulled him out of the door frame forcefully, and then pushed him hard from behind, forcing him to walk forward.

Everything is normal, in line with the normal reaction of going the wrong way, and not knowing the situation in the No. [-] confinement room.Although the time before and after was less than half a minute, it was enough for Zhang Hao standing outside to see Liao Cunxue who was locked in the cage, and for Liao Cunxue to see Zhang Hao clearly.

The moment they made eye contact, both of them froze.From each other's eyes, they both saw shock and amazement.After a brief period of blank thinking, all kinds of chaotic thoughts instantly transformed into unspeakable fear.

"Let's go! Are you stunned? Believe it or not, I kicked you to death?"

Although Ding Yi is a man, his temper is rather quiet.If Hu Pingtao hadn't repeatedly emphasized the need to "show a rough attitude as much as possible", he would never be able to say these words anyway, let alone punch Zhang Haolun.

Zhou Changhao came in to collect the lunch box.

Ding Yi escorted Zhang Hao to the front yard.

it's dark.

Liao Cunxue sat there blankly, with his mouth open through the cold cage, feeling his thoughts completely frozen.Fear seemed to be branded on his face, becoming a fixed trace that could not be changed.

……

Ding locked Zhang Hao into the interrogation room in the front yard, locked the door, and turned around to enter the director's office on the second floor.

With everyone present, Xing Le poured him a cup of warm tea from the pot.

Hu Pingtao asked: "Is everything done?"

Ding Yi was thirsty, raised his neck and drank the tea in one gulp, and handed the empty cup to Xing Le: "One more cup."

He then turned to Hu Pingtao and said excitedly: "Director Hu, you really hit the spot. I escorted Zhang Hao to the door of the confinement room, and Brother Zhou cooperated with me in this scene. Hahahaha, are you I didn't see Liao Cunxue's eyes at that time, but seeing Zhang Hao was like seeing a ghost."

Hu Pingtao frowned and smiled: "This confirms my judgment: Liao Cunxue and Zhang Hao conspired to kill Gong Xinxia in order to defraud high insurance premiums."

Xing Le poured another cup of tea and handed it to Ding Yi. She walked to the desk and sat down, and asked with some expectation: "Liao Cunxue should have nothing to say now, right? He is a diehard, the one who doesn't cry when he sees the coffin." Kind of. He thought we would have nothing to do with him if he refused to explain the problem, but now it’s all right, as long as Zhang Hao opens his mouth, he won’t be able to escape.”

Tan Tao rubbed his hands excitedly, looking eager to try: "Boss, who will be interrogated first?"

Hu Pingtao thought for a moment, and finally decided: "Trial Zhang Hao first. As long as a breakthrough is made from him, Liao Cunxue can only honestly explain the problem."

……

Sitting on the closed chair in the interrogation room, Zhang Hao completely collapsed.

"Liao Cunxue asked me to do all of this, and he did everything."

Looking at Zhang Hao who was eager to clear up his responsibilities, Hu Pingtao sneered sarcastically: "Why, have you changed your mind now? Don't say you and Gong Xinxia are lovers anymore?"

Zhang Hao was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, and argued hoarsely: "I swear, Liao Cunxue really asked me to do it. If I lie to you, I will be hit by thunder and thunder, and I will be a pig, a dog, or a chicken in the next life, and I will not be a human being!"

Xing Le couldn't understand his appearance, and said disgustedly: "That's all right, all right, you'd better explain the problem honestly, and explain the ins and outs of the matter carefully."

"Okay, okay." Zhang Hao nodded desperately: "I say."

"I have known Liao Cunxue for a long time. At that time, we worked together in an advertising company and ran business. At that time, if a single advertisement was completed, there would be a commission. Liao Cunxue is not only eloquent, but also has a good brain. His monthly salary is [-] He is taller than me, and that’s why he was raised in terms of share. Many people in the company admire him, including me.”

"Later, I stopped working in an advertising company, and wandered outside for a few years... Well, what I said before is the truth, I didn't lie to you. I really took a vocational training class in the street office and learned a lot about it. Cooking, and later I became a chef."

"I have been in touch with Liao Cunxue for a long time. I know that his old house was demolished and a new house was built in Yanhe New Village. It was also Liao Cunxue's idea that I chose to work in a restaurant here. He said This place has only been developed recently, and more and more people are moving here, but there are few restaurants. If I have money, it will definitely be a good business to open a restaurant nearby. If I can’t open my own shop, I will find a restaurant here. Chefs can also make money."

"His vision has always been very accurate. I came here to apply for a chef, and the boss paid me hundreds of dollars more than other places. In addition, the business is usually good, and I work overtime at night. After a month, it can cost thousands of dollars. , sometimes there are seven or eight hundred."

"In order to thank him for showing me the way, I invited him to dinner during a break. The place was chosen by Liao Cunxue, a small restaurant in a very remote location, and it was after seven o'clock in the evening. At that time, the normal meal time was over. No, there are no other customers in the store except the two of us."

"Liao Cunxue ordered two bottles of beer. I said that beer is not acceptable, why don't you drink white wine? He said that after two glasses of white wine, his mind would become insane. The reason why he is willing to come out to eat with me today is because of a reason. Talk things over with me."
