Chapter 31 Likes to set fire
Wei Zhenguo went out in the afternoon, and returned the next morning with heavier eye bags and deeper wrinkles.

The one he brought back with him was a young man less than 20 years old, short and thin, with a nonchalant expression, only his eyes rolled quickly.

As soon as the formalities were completed, Wei Zhenguo immediately led people into the interrogation room.

The criminal police team's interrogation room is located on the first floor, just a small room of thirty to forty square meters.

There are iron bars in the middle of the room, separated by iron doors and iron locks.The half of the room next to the iron railing door is the interrogation area, where desks, computers and chairs are placed.And one end inside is the suspect restricted area, with only a single interrogation chair.

The elegant name of the interrogation chair in the industry is "tiger stool".The chair is made of all steel, and the lower end is fixed on the ground. The legs of the chair are equipped with ankle rings, which just wrap around the suspect's ankles. The armrests are equipped with bracelets, which wrap around the suspect's wrist. on the chair.

This set of restraints not only prevents the suspect from violently injuring others, but also prevents him from harming himself.

For the police force, any injury in the interrogation room for any reason needs to be treated with caution, and it cannot be explained by a simple sentence or two.

"Open." Wei Zhenguo supported the criminal suspect with his hands, motioning for his colleagues to open the door.

click.

The iron locked iron door opened.

Wei Zhenguo entered with the suspect, and signaled his colleagues to close the door.

click.

The iron gate is closed with an iron lock.

After two beeps, the indifference on the suspect's face disappeared quietly.

Wei Zhenguo then pointed to the tiger stool and said, "Sit in."

The suspect swallowed: "Why? What crime have I committed?"

"Stop talking." Wei Zhenguo frowned, he could hold a mutton skewer without falling to the ground, and this time he was not used to the other party, and together with a colleague, he easily restrained him into the interrogation chair.

There were a few more "clicks", the lock was fully closed, and the suspect's brows could not help but frown, as if he could hold a cotton swab.

click.

Kaka.

Wei Zhenguo and his colleagues opened the iron door and went out, closed the door, and sat on the office chairs opposite.

The walls of the interrogation room were extremely thick and sound-absorbing. After closing the outer door, the entire room was completely silent.

Disturbing silence.

Even those who have entered the interrogation room will still be depressed when they enter again.

Wei Zhenguo sullenly asked his colleague to ask first.

After the routine name and age, seeing the suspect's mood stabilized, Wei Zhenguo said darkly, "Lu Xin, do you know how we caught you?"

"I...you arrested the wrong person." Lu Xin stiffened her neck.

"People leave traces, and geese leave their voices. Now that technology is so advanced, what have you done, do you really think we don't know?" Wei Zhenguo raised his voice and said, "I don't need a confession, but I can send you in. You don't confess , the sentence will be longer."

This kind of statement is half true and half false.There are indeed cases of zero confession convictions, which are not rare, but compared with physical evidence, the power and value of confession is still greater.Among other things, even if the leader asked questions, the first question he asked was "Have you confessed?" The police handling the case most wanted to answer, of course, "Have you confessed".

Today's case is even more special. What Wei Zhenguo hopes is to use the small case to lead to a big case. Not only does he not have enough evidence for the big case, but the evidence for the small case is also not enough to settle the case.

Although Jiang Yuan was able to match Lu Xin through his incomplete fingerprints, the requirements for conviction are higher than those for investigation.As long as 8 feature points are matched for detection, 13 feature points are required for fingerprint identification.Only this one, incomplete fingerprints are not enough.

Not to mention, fingerprints, as indirect evidence, cannot prove guilt alone.

However, there was no trace of anxiety or fear on Wei Zhenguo's face, only wrinkles and dark spots could be seen.

"Have you ever been cracked down by the public security organs?" Wei Zhenguo asked knowingly.This is how fingerprints are matched.

Lu Xin continued to remain silent.

"I'm asking you something." The policeman next to Wei Zhenguo shouted.

Lu Xin was taken aback and waited for a few seconds before saying, "I have been hit."

It is precisely because he has been hit that he knows that it is true that "the confession is lenient and the resistance is strict", especially when it comes to the trial stage, resistance to strictness means severe punishment, and it is likely to add several years to the sentence.

Similarly, this kind of information is recorded, and he can't hide it.

Wei Zhenguo took over, and asked in a neither high nor low voice, "Why?"

"It's not all over..."

"If you ask me anything, just say what you say."

With a sullen face, Lu Xin waited for a while before saying, "It's just fighting and detention. I also took other people's things."

"You got into a fight because you set fire to the restaurant kitchen, didn't you?"

"Yes, I was careless and stubborn." Lu Xin looked very disdainful.

Wei Zhenguo curled his lips. The policeman who handled the previous case did not have enough information. He was obviously deceived by this guy and failed to dig deeper.A suspect in the arson case set fire to the kitchen of the small restaurant. How could he be careless? After running into the city, his hands were itchy.

After tapping on the table, Wei Zhenguo said calmly, "You lied."

Lu Xin looked at Wei Zhenguo innocently.

"You didn't accidentally set fire to the restaurant kitchen. You set it on fire on purpose. Your fingerprints were on the oil bottle at the scene." Wei Zhenguo looked at Lu Xin sharply, and then motioned to the police next to him to show the photo.

Across the railing, the breakpoints on the fingerprints were not very clear, it was just a complete set of fingerprints.

"That was... that was when they were fighting, and they grabbed the oil bottle."

"What do you grab the oil bottle for?"

"I just wanted to hit someone, but then I let it go, and I didn't hit someone with an oil bottle." Lu Xin answered smoothly.

Wei Zhenguo smiled, and said, "Because you want to light the fire with an oil bottle, right?"

Lu Xin's eyes flashed, and he hurriedly said, "It's nothing."

"You like setting fires, don't you?"

"No."

"Then how can I explain the fingerprints I found at this fire point?" Wei Zhenguo took out another fingerprint map and said slowly: "One time is a coincidence, two times and three times, can it be a coincidence? You think the judicial system is stupid ?"

Lu Xin's lips moved, and the expression on his face couldn't hold back anymore.

He has already started to regret now, why didn't he wear gloves at the beginning... But when he got excited, where could he have gloves by his side?Besides, it is inconvenient to carry, and it is easy to be suspicious when you see it.

Wei Zhenguo waited long enough, and then said in a very oppressive voice, "Speak."

"I...I didn't..."

"If you don't confess, I'll use your fingerprints to convict."

"not me……"

Wei Zhenguo slapped the table and said, "Say!"

Lu Xin's voice trembled, he hesitated for a few seconds, looked at the two of them again, and finally said, "I didn't really want to set fire to it, I was just upset at that waste toll booth, and I happened to be smoking, so I lighted the paper ..."

Recently, he had only experienced arson once, and the damage caused was not too great. Not long after he left, the fire was extinguished.Presumably, it was either the owner of the waste toll station who put out the fire himself, or the enthusiastic people there.

A case of this level, based on Lu Xin's understanding, should not be too severe.

Wei Zhenguo and his colleagues looked at each other, and quietly extended their eyes.

The case that Lu Xin explained was obviously not one of the few cases they had grasped.

This shows that Lu Xin in front of him is a repeat offender who has committed more crimes.

Wei Zhenguo's heart moved slightly, but he didn't show any expression on his face. Looking at Lu Xin, he said in a cold voice: "Speak in the order of time and place."

"Yes. In March of this year, at the waste toll station in Wulipu, Xihong District." Now that Lu Xin started talking, his expression relaxed, and he explained everything in detail.
