chasing the dark

Chapter 229 He Lied
Lin Shuo pursed his lips, thought for a moment and said, "I admit... I took the tea pot, it's in my house, and put it behind the drawer of the bedside table."

"Who told you to take it?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

Lin Shuo opened his mouth, and then spat out three words with difficulty: "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Ye Zhanzhou seemed to have heard a big joke.

"Really, I really don't know who he is." Lin Shuo explained hastily, "Yesterday morning, I received a call from a foreign number, and he told me to look for a red tin can containing tea. Wild camellia. Give me 5 yuan when I get it. I thought it was a liar, so I hung up the phone. After a while, he called again and said that he would pay [-] yuan as a deposit first. I called. Immediately afterwards, I received a text message from the bank, and [-] yuan was transferred into the card."

"I wanted to refuse at first, but I thought the other party knew not only my name and mobile phone number, but also my bank card number. If I refused, the money would have already been in my account, and I couldn't tell. There are so many tea leaves in the cabinet, no one will know if you take away a can or two. So... I agreed."

Lin Shuo's voice became smaller and smaller, until it was almost inaudible in the end.

Jiang Yu asked, "Is the caller a man or a woman?"

"He used a voice changer, so he couldn't distinguish between men and women." Lin Shuo finally recovered his normal volume, "He speaks very fast, in Mandarin, without an accent."

"He should have said, what to do after getting that can of tea?" Ye Zhanzhou asked.

Lin Shuo nodded: "Yes, he asked me to put the tea in the locker in Jiahua Supermarket after get off work."

Ye Zhanzhou asked: "Then why did you take it home?"

"Didn't you come here yesterday afternoon? I was afraid that someone would follow me when I got off work, so I didn't dare to go to the supermarket." Lin Shuo said.

Ye Zhanzhou raised one corner of his lips: "You are afraid that he won't give you money, or... want more."

"I didn't!" Lin Shuo quickly denied, "I have no choice but to, I don't want his money at all!"

"If you told this matter when you received the call or when we went, the result would definitely be different from what it is now. Forget it, let's not discuss this issue." Ye Zhanzhou waved his hand, "Did that person call again?" for you?"

Lin Shuo nodded again: "Yes, after eight o'clock last night, he asked me for the password of the locker. I told him that I didn't dare to go because I was afraid of being discovered."

Jiang Yu sneered: "You told him that we went to check Gu Zhengqing's office this afternoon."

Lin Shuo lowered his head and remained silent.

Ye Zhanzhou asked him what the other party said, Lin Shuo murmured for a long time before saying, "He asked me to destroy things."

"Why didn't you do it?" Ye Zhanzhou didn't wait for his answer, but continued, "Is it because he hasn't paid the rest of the money?"

"I don't..." Lin Shuo wanted to say that it wasn't because of the money, but he swallowed back the words after seeing Ye Zhanzhou's sharp eyes.

With a long sigh, he said: "My family's conditions are not good. In order to support my education, my father's illness has been delayed."

Lin Shuo's wish since he was a child was to be a teacher, but he missed the teacher training school he wanted because of a slight difference in the college entrance examination.Fortunately, he was accepted by another university as a Chinese major.

After graduation, he had the opportunity to enter a middle school to be a Chinese teacher, but because he could only be a private teacher with no establishment and low salary, he finally gave up.

After sending out N resumes and going through several interviews, he chose Gu's Group among the two companies that agreed to hire him.

There is no other reason. The salary of Gu’s president’s secretary during the probationary period is much higher than that of private teachers. After becoming a full-time employee, there are five social insurances and one housing fund, year-end bonuses, and paid annual leave.

Perhaps for some people, an annual salary of over [-] yuan is nothing, but for Lin Shuo, it is currently the highest paid job.

Therefore, facing the reward of 5 yuan, he was moved.

When Lin Shuo said this, his eye circles were already red.

He sniffled: "I know it's wrong, but Mr. Gu is dead, the company may not go bankrupt, but it's still unknown where we secretaries will go. Besides, there are so many tea leaves in the cabinet, it's okay to lose a tube. "

"Then have you ever wondered why he asked you to take that tube instead of something else?" Jiang Yu frowned and asked, "If the caller is the culprit who killed Gu Zhengqing, what does your behavior mean? "

"I didn't think about it that much!" Lin Shuo wiped his face without his hands being cuffed on the baffle, and said, "No matter how Mr. Gu died, it has nothing to do with me anyway. I opened that small tube and looked at it." , which contains ordinary tea leaves, nothing else."

"I might as well tell you that there is really something else in the tea, but you can't see it." Ye Zhanzhou said.

"I know I was wrong. I didn't touch the money at all. It's still in the card. The tea is behind the drawer of my bedside table. I can take you to get it." Lin Shuo choked and said, "Please let me go, my dad returned it. Pointing at me to make money to see a doctor! If I go to jail, our family will be ruined!"

"Why don't you consider these before doing things? We will truthfully write your cooperation in the investigation into the report, and I believe the judge will consider it as appropriate." Ye Zhanzhou took a long breath, "However, I still want to advise you, young man It’s better to be down-to-earth in doing things. Don’t even think about reaching the sky in one step.”

Lin Shuo's eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded heavily: "I will never do this kind of thing again in the future."

Ye Zhanzhou took the transcript in front of Jiang Yu to Lin Shuo to sign, and then called the police officer on duty to take him back to the detention room.

Seeing him leaning against the interrogation table thinking about something, Jiang Yu asked, "Aren't you going to Lin Shuo's house?"

She was a little puzzled. Normally, she should have found the tube of tea immediately, but instead of doing so, Ye Zhanzhou ended the interrogation so quickly.

"He lied." Ye Zhanzhou took the folders that the little girl was carrying, got up and walked out.

"Ah?!" Jiang Yu hurriedly followed, "You mean, everything he said was false?"

Ye Zhanzhou walked away and said: "The most deceptive thing is nine points of truth and one point of falsehood, and that point is precisely the most critical."

"Which one of Lin Shuo's lies?" Jiang Yu asked thoughtfully, "Haotian checked his mobile phone, and there were indeed two virtual calls showing foreign numbers calling him? Surveillance also showed that he I entered Gu Zhengqing's office in the morning, and came out in a hurry. These basically match what he said, don't they?"

"How are you sure what was said in those two phone calls?" Ye Zhanzhou turned his head and asked.

Jiang Yu frowned and thought for a while, then suddenly said: "He knows who the person who asked him to take the tea... No, not only did he know, the two even met. He wanted to use the tea as a threat to make the other party Promise him more conditions. That's why you said, don't even think about reaching the sky in one step."
