Detective Files II

Chapter 192 Variables
After leaving the small restaurant, Lu Xiangdong took Tian Mi and drove straight to Jiangkou District. Considering that the person Tian Yang and the others found might not be the passenger who took Li Yun's taxi that day, Tian Mi had already taken out her mobile phone to call An Zhang. Po, temporarily changed his mind again, planning to look at the situation first.

By the way, she called up the calendar and added a note to today's date.

Lu Xiangdong saw her action, and threw out a sentence without beginning or end: "Lunar calendar."

Tian Mi stared at him in bewilderment for a few seconds before realizing what he was referring to, and added a few words to the note on the calendar.

The car drove to the suburbs, passed the abandoned construction site where Li Yun's clothes were found, Tian Mi looked out through the car window, it was dark and silent outside.

Two days ago, a fresh and young life ended here. Thinking about it, it makes people sad. Looking at the tranquility of this moment and here, one can't help feeling the cruelty of the world.

When they arrived at the Jiangkou District Public Security Bureau, Tian Yang was already waiting for them at the gate. Seeing that the person who came with him was not An Changpu but Lu Xiangdong, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled at him: "Where is Dr. Lu together?"

Lu Xiangdong nodded, and followed Tian Yang to the criminal police office with Tian Mi.

As soon as he entered the office, he happened to see Cheng Feng discussing work with colleagues from the Jiangkou District Bureau. They simply greeted each other and went straight to the interrogation room.

Mo Dou is guarding the suspects in the interrogation room, waiting for them to come.

From the moment Tian Mi entered the Loumen just now, she found that although Tian Yang was full of energy, the big dark circles under his eyes could not be covered up. Now that he saw Cheng Feng and Mo Dou, they were not much better. It seems that because of that incident For the Miemen case, they have been working day and night without sleep these days.

"About the passengers on the night Li Yun was killed, have you found any witnesses?" Tian Yang asked before entering the interrogation room.

Tian Mi nodded, and took out a copy from her bag and handed it to Tian Yang. This was drawn by He Xiushan during the day to help provide information. The original copy was left in the bureau. She made a few copies as a habit, and took one with her. I brought it with me in case of a rainy day, but I didn't expect it to come in handy.

Tian Yang took the photocopy of the portrait and looked at it, and then gave it back to Tian Mi: "It is probably this person, conservatively speaking, it is [-]-[-]% similar to the portrait."

When Tian Mi heard this, she couldn't help feeling a little excited. This person was quite similar to the portrait provided by He Xiushan, and he carried Guo Weiliang's ID card with him. If it was confirmed that he was Li Yun's passenger that day, then this case is Isn't it just that the truth can be revealed, and the truth is revealed?
She involuntarily glanced at Lu Xiangdong, who was expressionless, as if he didn't have much hope for the next meeting.

As soon as he entered the interrogation room, Mo Dou was taking a statement to a man in handcuffs. This man looked very similar to the portrait in Hetian Mi's hand. He had a square, wide face, darker skin, and big eyes. Behind the table, it can still be seen that this person has a strong figure and should belong to the tall and burly type.

"Are you here?" When Mo Dou saw Tian Mi and Lu Xiangdong coming in, he stood up, told them to sit down, and then said to Tian Yang, "Let Tian Mi confirm what happened with her, he is going to die alone. Well, I'll go out and see what the boss's arrangement is."

Tian Yang waited for Mo Dou to go out, closed the door, sat next to Tian Mi and the others, and gave Tian Mi the initiative without saying a word.

Tian Mi looked at the transcript left by Mo Dou, it showed that the name of the man in front of him was Ma Peng.

"Your name is Ma Peng?" Tian Mi sized him up, took the evidence bag beside him, and looked at the fake ID card inside, "Where did Guo Weiliang's ID card come from?"

Ma Peng was in such an environment, so naturally he didn't have any doubts about Tian Mi's identity. After hearing her question, he immediately replied, "I picked it up."

"Picked it up? Then why is your own picture on it?"

Ma Peng moved his body: "I originally picked it up, and then I spent some money to find someone to help me make one with my own photo, thinking that it would be useful in the future..."

"For example, booking a taxi?"

Ma Peng raised his eyes and looked at Tian Mi in a daze. The expression on his face seemed a little surprised. It seemed that from the time he was found by the police to the time he was arrested and brought to justice, no one had mentioned the taxi thing before, but now he was suddenly asked Get up, a little surprised: "How do you know..."

Halfway through the question, Ma Peng didn't ask any more, he had already realized that the question didn't make any sense.

"Where did you book the car to get on that night, and where are you going?" Tian Mi asked.

Regarding Tian Mi's question, Ma Peng seemed a little lazy, but looking at Tian Yang sitting next to her, he was a little apprehensive, and after a while he said, "From Baile Hotel, take a taxi to Jiangkou District."

Tian Mi made a new request: "Do you still remember the driver who drove the car that day? Describe it."

Ma Peng tilted his head and thought for a while: "The driver is a woman, she is not very old, and I can't remember anything else."

Before Tian Mi could say anything else, Ma Peng spoke again, but this time he said to Tian Yang: "I have said everything I can say, I will not deny what I have done, and I will confess my guilt. Now I am asking if there are any of them. Yes, what are you doing?"

"What are you doing? Do some counting for you! See if the life in your hand is missing one." Tian Yang replied with a haughty face.

"How is that possible! Don't rely on others!" When Ma Peng heard this, his reaction was quite fierce, "I killed someone, and a life is worth a life. Now it doesn't make any difference to me to say one more thing and one less thing." , I have to pay for my life, why should I keep it a secret!"

"Then tell me in detail how you ordered a taxi to come to Jiangkou District that night!"

Ma Peng was a little dazed by such a request, but he couldn't refuse, so he had to recall it slowly.

"That day, I stayed at the Baile Hotel, and I used that fake ID card. The more I thought about it, the more I felt uneasy. I ran away in a hurry, and I didn't explain to my wife and children. Don't look back. The two of them are worried, and second, if the police go to the house to ask questions, they will cause me trouble by talking nonsense, so I plan to go back at night and take a look." He said, "I still use that fake ID card to book a car. I wanted to take a taxi directly back to Jiangkou District, but the taxi suddenly turned off on the way, and I couldn’t take it anyway. At that time, I wanted to get out of the car. I wondered if she recognized me and did it on purpose. After thinking about it, I felt uncomfortable. As for the fact that I am not wanted, how could she recognize me and not get out of the car."

"The driver tried for a long time and still couldn't do it, so he used the radio to call someone. At this time, I wanted to get out of the car. Before I could leave, a taxi came over. The driver got out of the car and came to help her, and then started driving again. I asked her to drive another few hundred meters, and got off the car early."

This was not within Tian Mi's expectation, which surprised her a little: "Why did you get off the car early?"

Ma Peng replied: "When the taxi failed to turn on, the brother who came to help kept looking into the car. I was afraid that he would remember my appearance and feel that I was too hasty in doing so. I came out of Baile. Take a taxi directly back to Jiangkou District, in case the police ask me when they catch me, the two drivers will definitely remember me! So I changed my mind and got off halfway."

"Where did you go after getting out of the car?"

"When I thought about it, I was confused at the time. When I booked the taxi, I stated the destination so clearly. If the police follow the clues and go to my house in the middle of the night to arrest people, I will be caught right away, so I let her go to Jiangkou. I was dropped off at the outskirts of the district, and I found a small hotel nearby to stay, and at dawn, there was an early bus, so I took the bus home."

"What is the name of the hotel you are staying in, write it down."

Tian Mi handed over the paper and pen, and her eyes fell on Ma Peng's handcuffed arm.

His sleeves were half rolled up, and from the exposed parts, the skin of his two forearms was intact, without any trace of being scratched.

While Ma Peng was trying to remember the name of the small hotel where he stayed that night, Tian Mi called Tian Yang outside the door and explained to him that the second deceased, Li Yun, found dandruff under his fingernails. Tian Yang understood immediately. She meant, open the door and return to the interrogation room.

After a while, Tian Yang came out, took Ma Peng, and the two went to the bathroom together.

"This kid is also very funny. At first, he firmly disagreed with the inspection of his body for scars. Later, when he heard that a rape and murder case was involved, he immediately agreed, saying that although he was carrying a life lawsuit, it was not him who did it. He also said that rape and murder are too lowly, and he absolutely cannot accept this kind of insult." After sending Ma Peng back to the interrogation room, Tian Yang told Tian Mi, "But I will check After that, there were no scratch marks on his body."

"No?" Tian Mi was dumbfounded. She had been speculated to be a major suspect at first, but now she was largely dismissed because there were no scratch marks. This was unexpected for her. After starting the conversation, she even secretly planned in her heart how to find out how he attacked Li Yun, and how to choose Zhou Xiaoyue.

As a result, none of this seems necessary now.

"Don't you think that Ma Peng is very suspicious at all?" Tian Mi was a little discouraged, looking at Lu Xiangdong beside him with a calm face, her frustration immediately became stronger.

Lu Xiangdong nodded without concealment: "That's right."

"reason?"

"He is a suspect in the Miemen case."

Tian Mi has long been used to his nonchalant personality. After hearing his words, she naturally followed the trend and quickly understood: "You mean that people who commit crimes in simple and rude ways are not the same as those we investigate. The method of serial rape and murder does not match, so it is impossible for a person like Ma Peng to carry out such a thorough rape and murder while brutally killing a few members of the family?"

Lu Xiangdong acquiesced to Tian Mi's conjecture.

"Anyway, Ma Peng's testimony has yet to be verified." Tian Mi looked at Lu Xiangdong hopefully, "Tell me, what should we do next?"

"Wait." Lu Xiangdong only said one word.

"Wait for what?"

"DNA comparison results."
