Chapter 436 435. Why commit suicide?

Wu Jingzhong was taken down and laid flat on the floor of the torture room. His face was grim and his eyes were bulging. He looked extremely scary.

The technical detectives and forensic doctors, wearing white coats and holding cameras in their hands, were busy all the time, and the sound of shutter clicks could be heard from time to time.

Under the command of Yang Denghuan and Ren Kui, the action team members of the Special Agent Department gathered all the guards in the detention room together for questioning. They gathered in groups of three or five and were very busy.

Because Wu Jingzhong and Sun Chengjie were just captured today, they were not put in the detention center, but were tried in the Special Agent Department's own temporary detention room and torture chamber.

The detention room is located in an independent two-story building in the courtyard of the Special Agent Department. There are four torture rooms from left to right, and a total of eight torture rooms on two floors.

Sun Chengjie was held in interrogation room No. 1, the first room on the left on the first floor, while Wu Jingzhong was held in interrogation room No. 4, the first room on the right. The two rooms were far apart.

This is also the practice of the Special Agent Department, the so-called different trials for the same case.

The newly transferred head of the Forensic Medicine Department, Liu Wenming, is not very old, but he is said to have a very strong background. At this moment, Chief Liu is standing in the corner, whispering with Shen Yan.

"Chief Shen, you guys are amazing. It's only been a short period of time, but you've already committed two murders!" Liu Wenming said exaggeratedly while shaking his legs.

"There's nothing we can do!" Shen Yan sighed, and said earnestly, "We in the Special Agent Department are doing business. We deal with these desperate criminals all day long and charge on the front lines. We are not as polite as you civilians."

"When you called just now, I thought you were asking for the autopsy report from last night." Liu Wenming looked at his men who were almost done with their work, straightened his white coat and said, he was ready to leave.

"By the way, I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. We do have a lot of things to do here. Is the report out?" Shen Yan asked.

"It's almost done. I think these two can come out together." Liu Wenming said.

"Come out together? This case just happened." Shen Yan was stunned.

"It's different!" Liu Wenming said indifferently: "The case last night involved the Japanese, so we can't neglect it. Today's case is relatively simple, just a prisoner, and it's obviously suicide out of fear of punishment. We just need to go back and issue a report and that's it."

"Do you think he committed suicide out of fear of punishment?" Shen Yan asked after looking at Liu Wenming.

"Is there any need to ask? It was a typical suicide out of fear of punishment, and the case was well prepared. The drugs were hidden in the collar of the suit jacket. We have tested it and found potassium cyanide residues in the collar," said Liu Wenming.

The technical detectives took a lot of photos. An older man muttered something in Liu Wenming's ear. Liu Wenming waved his hand and said, "We'll call it a day when we're done."

Liu Wenming chatted with Shen Yan for a few more words, then led the technical investigators out of the torture chamber. Shen Yan politely sent them to the door and then turned back.

Ren Kui and Yang Denghuan had almost finished asking questions, so they came over to Shen Yan and reported in detail.

Yang Denghuan glanced at Ren Kui who was eager to try, nodded and said, "Let Old Ren report."

Shen Yan nodded and looked at Ren Kui.

Ren Kui was not polite and reported to Shen Yan. The report was not long, only five or six minutes, and he was basically done.

Yang Denghuan and Ren Kui brought people to question all the guards in the detention room, including the director, and learned that no one went out or came in the detention room during this period.

Yang Denghuan and Shen Yan left at around 9:50 in the morning and returned at 11:10, where they found that Wu Jingzhong had committed suicide. There was an interval of one hour and twenty minutes in between.

Because the two were only away temporarily, the detention room director Zhang Chao ordered that Wu Jingzhong not be detained, but should be tied up in interrogation room No. 4 and wait for Shen Yan and Yang Denghuan to come back and continue the interrogation.

Zhang Chao sent two guards to guard interrogation room 4. They were Zhao Dong and Liu Yang who appeared when Shen Yan called for the guards just now.

Ren Kui asked Zhao Dong and Liu Yang, and they said that the two of them had not left the house between 9:50 and 11:10, except for going to the toilet once each.

Liu Yang recalled that he went to the toilet at about 10:20, which took about five or six minutes. Zhao Dong recalled that he went to the toilet at about 10:50, which also took about five or six minutes.

Zhao Dong and Liu Yang can confirm the truth of each other's statements.

Yang Denghuan also specifically asked other guards, and it was found that during these two time periods, no other guard had appeared in interrogation room No. 4, and the guards could also confirm this to each other.

After listening to Ren Kui's narration, Shen Yan fell into deep thought. According to this statement, no one approached interrogation room No. 4 during the time when he and Yang Denghuan were away.

In this case, Wu Jingzhong had no choice but to commit suicide.

But the question is why did Wu Jingzhong commit suicide?

If Wu Jingzhong was determined to die, he should have committed suicide as soon as he entered the police station, instead of choosing to commit suicide after confessing the crime of Liu Hongguang!

Moreover, Ren Kui had confirmed that Liu Hongguang had indeed been hiding in the Da Kuiyuan Hotel for the past few days and had left in a hurry shortly before the arrest. This was enough to show that Wu Jingzhong was not lying and that his willingness to cooperate with the Special Agent Division was sincere.

How could a person who is willing to sincerely cooperate with the Secret Service choose to commit suicide?

But if Wu Jingzhong didn’t commit suicide, then what could it be? All the evidence we have so far shows that Wu Jingzhong committed suicide. So what’s going on?

Another point is that Ren Kui failed to capture Liu Hongguang. Liu Hongguang left the Da Kuiyuan Hotel an hour before Ren Kui arrived. Why? Was it because Liu Hongguang was short of money, or was it because someone tipped him off?

Are these two things related? Is there a shadow of "Buddha's Lamp" behind it?

"Denghuan, what do you think about this matter?" Shen Yan turned and asked Yang Denghuan.

"Strange." Yang Denghuan said with a rare serious look and frowned.

"What's so strange? Tell me about it!" Shen Yan asked.

"Wu Jingzhong's motive! Why did he commit suicide?" Yang Denghuan said.

"Yeah, that's exactly what I can't understand." Shen Yan said with a frown.

"I have just expanded the scope of the investigation and asked our fifth team to check all the people in our special agent department's office at that time one by one. We questioned everyone between 9:50 and 11:10. No one has been to the detention room, and no one has even been near the detention room. Everyone in the office can confirm this situation." Yang Denghuan said with a sigh.

Ren Kui was a little puzzled and said hesitantly: "Didn't Director Zhang Chao just say that no one came in or out during this time period, so there is no need to check the staff in the office."

Yang Denghuan smiled but said nothing.

Shen Yan glanced at Yang Denghuan approvingly and praised him, "Denghuan is really thoughtful and will not miss any clues."

At this point, Shen Yan turned to Ren Kui and said, "Old Ren, you have to teach Deng Huan this! The detention room is connected to our secret service department, and there is no big door in between. Zhang Chao said that no one came, that just means they didn't see anyone coming. Whether it is true that no one came, we can only know after investigation."

After hearing this, although Ren Kui was not completely convinced in his heart, he nodded respectfully.

"This is all we can do for now. Let's close the case according to the forensic department's conclusion of suicide," Shen Yan said.

"But there are too many doubts here!" Ren Kui said quickly.

"The key is that we have no clue, so we can only put it aside for now." Yang Denghuan said on the side. "Great! Let's do it." Shen Yan turned back and glared at Ren Kui impatiently, and said coldly: "Next time! Give me a good touch on the collar! If this happens again, I'll send you in to live for a few days!"

After Shen Yan finished speaking, he walked away without even looking back.

Ren Kui was so frightened that he stood there trembling.

"Let's go. The section chief has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. He cares about us! But you really have to be more careful in the future." Yang Denghuan said as he pulled Ren Kui, and the two of them walked out of the detention room side by side.

noon.

Yang Denghuan took Aiya to eat some food in front of the police station. When they were about to go in, Yang Denghuan suddenly remembered something and asked Aiya to go in first, saying that he was going to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Sure enough, as soon as Yang Denghuan arrived at the grocery store, Zhao Zhonghai came over. Yang Denghuan ignored him, but bought a cigarette and left the grocery store. He walked a few steps before stopping to wait for Zhao Zhonghai.

Ever since they became Inagaki Nakayoshi together, Zhao Zhonghai's figure is no longer so mysterious, and Yang Denghuan can still see him occasionally.

Even though Yang Denghuan couldn't see him, he knew that Zhao Zhonghai must be around him.

For example, just now, he was about to go into the police station but did not, and turned into the grocery store. Yang Denghuan believed that Zhao Zhonghai would definitely show up.

Sure enough, Zhao Zhonghai appeared.

Zhao Zhonghai moved closer to Yang Denghuan, waiting for Yang Denghuan's instructions.

"I want to see Cao Youguang tonight." Yang Denghuan said, and without waiting for Zhao Zhonghai to reply, he left and walked towards the police station.

Zhao Zhonghai watched Yang Denghuan enter the police station before turning around and leaving.

at the same time.

Cinder Alley.

Gendarmerie.

When passing by the gendarmerie, most passers-by stayed very far away, lowered their heads and eyes, and hurried past. No one dared to look up.

At the entrance of the gendarmerie is a green guardhouse where one person can rest. There is a table, a chair and a telephone inside.

A Japanese soldier stood guard upright, with a white cuff on his arm with the words "Military Police" written in black on it.

The Japanese soldier was not tall, with slightly protruding lips. Occasionally he opened his mouth, revealing a mouthful of uneven yellow teeth. Although he looked ugly, he was very energetic, with eyes that did not look sideways. Occasionally he would glance up, revealing a fierce look.

Standing at the door of the gendarmerie, you can hear bursts of barking dogs through the gate. The sound is ferocious and creepy, and from time to time there are also people howling and screaming. It is like hell on earth.

Ding San and Zhou Ming's faces turned pale as they looked over from across the alley.

Ding San seemed to be in better condition, but Zhou Ming could hardly stand.

"Look at you, you don't want to pick any good job, but you have to come to the gendarmerie! Is it so easy to get to the gendarmerie?" Zhou Ming said almost in tears.

"There's no other way. Even if it means going through mountains of swords and seas of fire, we have to give it a try today! Besides, we are working for the Japanese. We are their own people. Even if they are not welcome, we have to cooperate, right?" Ding San said, scratching his head.

"I don't even know what blessing I have earned in this lifetime to be with a fool like you!" Zhou Ming muttered.

"Do you want to be the captain or not? Do you want to be the section chief or not? Then you have to do more meritorious service! Fortune and wealth are achieved through risk! If you don't want to give anything, why should you get a promotion and a raise? If you don't want to go, go back!" Ding San said in a cold voice, and without waiting for Zhou Ming, he walked across the alley and walked towards the gendarmerie.

Zhou Ming seemed to be persuaded by Ding San. He gritted his teeth and followed Ding San across the road.

"We, the Special Agent Department." Ding San tried to explain to the sentry, speaking slowly in Chinese.

The sentry looked alert, slowly tightened his rifle in his hand, and stared at Ding San and the other two as if he was interrogating thieves.

Zhou Ming was a man of integrity. Seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly came over and spoke Chinese in a Japanese tone: "Taijun, this is the work of our secret service department. We are all working for the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Belt. This is the work of our own people. Look, this is the work of my ID card..."

Zhou Ming's attitude was humble, and his face was full of flattering smiles, which made the sentry's expression ease a lot. Seeing him put his hand into his arms, he did not stop him, but just looked at Zhou Ming curiously, as if Zhou Ming was performing magic.

Zhou Ming reached into his arms and took out not only his ID but also a pistol.

Zhou Ming himself was stunned, holding a pistol in his hand, staring blankly at the sentry.

"Crush them to death..." The sentry's expression changed drastically, and he quickly raised his Type 38 rifle, pointed the bayonet on his rifle at Zhou Ming, and turned around and shouted at the military police, as if calling for help.

Zhou Ming was also frightened and immediately raised his hands, but the gun was still in his hands.

There was a sound of footsteps from the gendarmerie, and a dozen gendarmes, led by a sergeant, rushed out.

Seeing the pistol in Zhou Ming's hand, the sergeant shouted: "Baka!"

Even though Zhou Ming didn't understand Japanese, he could tell that the words were an insult. He looked at Ding San with a bitter expression.

The sergeant waved his hand, and a Japanese soldier stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Ming's collar. Zhou Ming did not dare to fight back, but raised his hands and loudly defended: "Madam, Madam, we are spies..."

The Japanese soldier had obviously practiced judo. He grabbed Zhou Ming's hands, took his pistol, and then threw Zhou Ming to the ground with a strong back kick. Zhou Ming screamed and fell to the ground motionless.

The Japanese soldier knocked Zhou Ming to the ground and looked at Ding San with a bad look.

Ding San was also confused. At this point, he had no choice but to go ahead.

Ding San bowed his head, smiling, and handed over his work ID. The sergeant took it, but couldn't understand the Chinese characters on it, so he threw it to his subordinate.

"What kind of work do you do?" the sergeant asked coldly.

The sergeant saw that Ding San and Zhou Ming did not look like ordinary people, so he spoke politely.

"It's on our ID. We are from the Special Branch of the Police Department. We are here to investigate the case of Inagaki Nakayoshi."

Ding San stuttered and the sergeant didn't understand a word he said, except for a few words by Inagaki Nakayoshi that sounded familiar.

The sergeant turned around and gave orders in Japanese, asking the soldiers to go in and find an interpreter.

After the translation came, the matter was made clear. After the sergeant confirmed with the Special High Section Chief Tada Okajo over the phone, Ding San and Zhou Ming were allowed to enter, but their guns were detained at the sentry post, saying that they would be returned when they came out.

After all this trouble, Ding San no longer had his original ambitions. He no longer dared to say anything like "fortune and honor are sought in danger". He just walked towards the Special High Section with his head down.
