under the spotlight

Chapter 110

At the end of the interview, when Zhang Hui talked about the scene of He Miao's murder, he burst into tears suddenly, crying uncontrollably: "Little girl, at that time, how painful it must have been. Stabbed myself to death, and died with her, but I stabbed myself twice, it hurt so much, it hurt so much, I couldn't do it, so I jumped off the building, but they wouldn't let me jump..."

"Woooooo... I'm sorry little girl, I must have hurt her... If I knew it hurt so much, I would have been reluctant..."

The camera captured the scene of Zhang Hui crying bitterly, Lu Beicen didn't say a word, watching him vent his emotions tearfully, he just sighed inaudibly...

After interviewing Zhang Hui, Lu Beicen felt that his back was completely wet with sweat. He said it was an interview, but it was a very exhausting thing to chat with someone so cautiously and thoughtfully.

Lu Beicen walked out of the interrogation room tiredly, and saw Cai Zhihua waving his thumbs up to her, and another police officer accompanying him, Wang, also smiled and nodded at her, and the two went in to cooperate with Xue Feng to take some pictures, Lu Beicen Standing in the corridor, she felt that the air smelled much better. The damp smell of the interrogation room and the long-term smoke of cigarettes gave her a faint headache.

Although this interview was considered a success, the mood was actually very bad. Lu Beicen had to admit that at least until now, he still didn't have a strong heart, and he didn't know how many people's lives he had to see, how many times he had gone through. Only one interview can be experienced to advance and retreat freely.

Facing the door, Lu Beicen saw Zhang Hui sitting behind the iron fence, his bald head covered with green stubble, as if he saw the period of his youth when he was in a daze. His psychology and love he thought were difficult for ordinary people to understand. His life seems to be separated from this world...

After leaving the detention center, I sent Cai Zhihua and Officer Wang back to the criminal police team. As soon as I got in the car, Cai Zhihua began to praise Lu Beicen: "Guide Lu, your on-the-spot adaptability is really, really good, really good. He talks a lot. We interrogate him." We don’t talk about it, especially the relationship with that Xia Yu. He wants to die anyway, and the evidence in this case is very clear, so we can’t force him too much.”

Officer Wang interjected curiously: "Guide Lu, you don't smoke yourself, right? I think your lighting posture is quite awkward."

Lu Beicen smiled a little embarrassedly: "I am also very lucky, thank you two police officers!"

Xue Feng was also a little scared: "I was still worried that today's interview would be bad. I didn't even dare to stop the tape. This person was a little stimulated, but it's okay..."

Cai Zhihua also laughed and said: "I dare not go in later, I am afraid that something is wrong with him. This suspect is a bit like a heavenly person. Anyway, his thoughts and what he does are difficult for ordinary people to understand. .”

Lu Beicen nodded quickly: "I feel the same way, I'm going to find a psychologist to comment on it. By the way, where is that Xia Yu now, can we interview her?"

Cai Zhihua shook his head: "How dare she stay here now, she didn't know where she went for a long time, she is not a suspect, we let her go after we interrogated her, but she entrusted us to pay 20 to the victim's family."

Lu Beicen had already expected this situation. After all, if she still lived in the original place, the family members of the victim would probably not let her go. If something bad happened due to excitement, it was very possible. .What's more, they all live in the family courtyard, and people are shameless, so how can she still stay in that place?
Although ashamed to speak, this is work no matter what. Lu Beicen thought for a long time, but still asked the doubt in his heart: "Did Xia Yu say that, why did she choose Zhang Hui?"

Although Lu Beicen's question was very cryptic, Cai Zhihua understood her meaning immediately, and immediately replied: "We asked her, and said that children in the city have big appetites and are not easy to control. I have seen the world, and I am quite idealistic, the key is that I don’t need to spend a lot of money.”

"Can we see the transcript of the inquiry?" Lu Beicen asked.

Cai Zhihua probably felt that Lu Beicen's performance today really made him a little impressed. After all, no matter what kind of job he does, in the workplace, he admires the strong, let alone such a beautiful and gentle girl.

After pondering for a moment, Cai Zhihua said: "Well, I'll go back and talk to Captain Pan later, but this woman must still change her name, after all, she is not a suspect."

Lu Beicen nodded quickly: "Of course, although her role in this case is indeed dishonorable, it is a moral condemnation, and we will definitely give her a pseudonym."

After reading the transcript of the interrogation, what Xia Yu said and what Zhang Hui said can be verified almost one by one, and there is no big discrepancy.

The next day, according to the appointment with Police Officer Cai, Lu Beicen arrived at He Miao's community early in the morning. Meeting the victim's parents was the thing that frightened her the most from the bottom of her heart.

Sure enough, a couple with gray hair and blank faces were waiting at home. The moment they entered the door, Lu Beicen could only feel that the house was messy and lifeless.

Police officer Cai was already familiar with them, and when he entered the door, he took out half of the shoe cabinet in the entrance, and lifted a carton of milk that seemed to be falling at any time, and put it on the ground against the wall: "You two old people, no matter what , You still have to live your life. These two are reporters from the TV station. I told you on the phone yesterday. You should cooperate with them and accept an interview. When the time comes, it will be broadcast on TV. Why was your daughter killed? , it’s clear.”

He Miao's father sized up Lu Beicen and Xue Feng, and asked hesitantly, "Which station are you from?"

Lu Beicen quickly took out his press card from his bag and handed it in front of the couple: "Hello, uncle and aunt, we are the reporters of "Witness on the Spot". We also feel very sad about He Miao. I have seen it Her photos and information are smart and excellent, you should mourn!"

As soon as He Miao's mother heard someone praise her daughter, she immediately began to cry: "Sin, what a good and obedient child our Miaomiao is, this is provoking someone, that shameless woman should eat like that murderer!" Gun, no, she should be hacked into pieces..."

Xue Feng had already turned on the machine as soon as he saw her emotional breakdown. Lu Beicen saw her crying heart-piercingly, and unconsciously closed his eyes deeply.

Officer Cai quickly comforted her, and Lu Beicen also stepped forward, stroking the woman's shoulder and said, "Auntie, you still have to take care of yourself. I heard that He Miao just graduated from university. Do you have a group photo together?"

He Miao's mother wiped away a few more tears before nodding: "Follow me to her room and have a look."

He Miao's room is completely different from the outside, clean and tidy, like a girl with a cleanliness habit, who wakes up early in the morning to clean up before going to work.

The sun shines into the room from the window, it is quiet and peaceful, but the hostess has already disappeared...

"Miaomiao likes to be clean, and usually helps me clean up. Miaomiao likes yellow the most. Look, she chose this curtain herself, and it's also yellow..."

He Miao's mother babbled about many things about her daughter's life, and took out a photo album from the drawer of her desk. At the front of the album was He Miao's graduation photo, wearing a bachelor's uniform and taking a group photo with her parents. , He Miao smiled brightly, and the family of three was filled with happy smiles.

But in a month or two, the girl in the photo disappeared, and the middle-aged parents in the photo changed from black hair to frosty gray, and the look in their eyes disappeared.

Lu Beicen suddenly felt a chill all over his body. This originally prosperous and happy family of three was ruined like this...

From the He family, Lu Beicen learned more about Xia Yu. Although in the face of hatred, the He family and his wife inevitably spoke a little vulgarly, but the basic situation should be fine.

"Her husband used to belong to our unit, but later he resigned and went to sea. I don't know what kind of ignorant money he made. Anyway, he is prosperous, and the company has opened in Shanghai. So we felt sorry for her and thought it was her husband. Don't want a poor wife for money, and now we know that she is so disgusting, no wonder her husband doesn't want her..." He Miao's mother said very resentfully.

"Once I met her leading the murderer, she greeted me and said she was a relative of her family. It was disgusting."

Lu Beicen asked impulsively, "Did she mention to you that she wanted to introduce that relative of hers to He Miao?"

"He is also worthy? Why is he worthy of our family Miaomiao, our family Miaomiao..."

He Miao's father pulled his wife: "Don't go so far, she didn't, and she didn't mention it to us a word. If she mentioned it, even if it was a hint, we would try to avoid it as much as possible." She drove the murderer, so we hate her even more, our old colleague and old neighbor for so many years..."

"Who cares about her money? Is it great to be rich? Can you give me back my Miaomiao if you have money? We are so frustrated after taking this money. Can I buy her a life with 20 yuan?" He Miao's mother He snatched the words back again.

He Miao's father wiped the corners of his eyes sadly, and explained behind his wife: "From our heart, we really don't want to take this money. It's disgusting to spend, and both of us have retirement wages, so it's not bad." money."

"But the police officers, leaders, and relatives and friends all persuaded us, saying that the woman did not break the law, and we can't let her go to jail or take other legal responsibilities. So, she can't make such a big mistake, so she shouldn't take any responsibility."

He Miao's mother said angrily: "We are so easy to bully, she can hide, we can always find the contact information of her husband and son, I will let her son know, he has a shameless and vile mother..."

He Miao's father quickly stopped: "What are you talking about?"

"Then what's the matter, why can't I tell her relatives, her proud son, what she did? He still played with Miaomiao when he was a child..."

When these words came out, not only Lu Beicen didn't know how to persuade him, but even Police Officer Cai just kept silent. After all, although the legal and moral categories overlap in most places, there are always boundaries where people can only say a word. Sigh, in front of such a couple who lost their only daughter, any consolation seems so pale and powerless.

Don't persuade others to be kind without suffering from others. It is probably used in such a time.

When the group came out of He's house, Police Officer Cai said to Lu Beicen: "During your interview just now, Team Pan called me and said he wanted to invite you to the team again."

Lu Beicen was a little surprised: "Did Team Pan say what happened?"

Officer Cai nodded and said, "The case of the man we arrested yesterday, Captain Pan said that he had consulted with the bureau for instructions, and asked you to go over and have a chat to see if it is suitable for reporting."

This is really a bit unexpected. It seems that Captain Pan is also a vigorous and resolute person.

Lu Beicen nodded quickly: "Okay, then let's go behind your car."

Xue Feng pulled Lu Beicen: "Master Lin and I are going on a business trip in the afternoon."

Lu Beicen blinked. There was always a shortage of cameras and drivers in the station, and it felt like rushing.

On the contrary, Police Officer Cai saw Lu Beicen's embarrassment. He went back to the provincial TV station from Lanhu District. It cost one or two hundred by taxi, and two or three times by bus. After lunch in our team, I'll take you back."

Lu Beicen couldn't disagree, and nodded quickly: "I'm afraid of troubling you."

"I'm so happy to serve the beauty!" Although Officer Cai's words were a bit flirtatious, he didn't mean to be frivolous at all. It’s because our itinerary is basically set, so I’m causing you trouble!”

Several people exchanged pleasantries, and Lu Beicen got into Officer Cai's car, which was driven by Officer Wang from yesterday.

Officer Wang greeted Lu Beicen with a smile: "Yesterday we went back and told Team Pan and the others about the Zhidou suspect Lu Guidance was in the detention center. They all said that Lu Guidance is not easy. I think you should work a lot because of your age. Is it long?"

Lu Beicen said embarrassingly: "I came to Taili last year, and there was really nothing I could do about it yesterday. If he doesn't talk about it, I can't go on."

Officer Cai said in surprise: "That's really hard to see. In fact, for us, this kind of person is easy to interrogate, and basically it is easy to talk about things related to the case, but if you want to ask him about things that he feels dirty, just It's really hard to do."

Lu Beicen thought for a while and asked the doubts in his heart: "Actually, I went back yesterday and reviewed it. Should I not talk about the emotional manipulation thing? It seems a little overdone, will it have any impact?"

The two police officers were obviously taken aback. Officer Wang shook his head and smiled and said, "Guide Lu must be very good at reading, right? Someone who is so good at replaying must be a good reader."

Police officer Cai comforted: "Don't think too much, if you don't ask, he may not say that your interview is different from our statement, we are human beings, not machines, we can't never make mistakes, and we can't be like machines. There is no emotion in the same way, I can only say that I will make fewer mistakes and be more professional at work. I was a little emotional yesterday..."

They were all young people, chatting very happily, the car quickly drove into the criminal police team, Captain Pan was waiting in the office, saw Lu Beicen coming in, smiled and waved: "Come and sit, guide Lu, drink some tea. This morning Did the interview go well?"

Lu Beicen nodded: "It's okay, but when I see the victim's family, I always feel a little unspeakable. By the way, Team Pan, I heard that the case you mentioned yesterday can be interviewed?"

"The interview probably won't be that fast, but I can tell you first, it seems that you are also going to go back and apply for the topic?" Team Pan asked while pouring tea for Lu Beicen.

"Team Pan knows our work very well!" Lu Beicen responded with a smile.

Captain Pan waved his hand: "I don't know much about it, but I know a little bit. This case, the scene of the crime is also on the side of the street, but the time of the crime was about three or four o'clock in the morning, and it was discovered around five o'clock in the morning." , a young man was killed on the side of the street, he was killed with a knife, there was no murder weapon at the scene, footprints were chaotic, there were no witnesses, no monitoring, and even the identity of the deceased could not be determined..."
