nursery rhymes

Chapter 20 Argument
Returning to the police station, Zhuge Yang heard the chief's roaring laughter as soon as he entered the door of the office area.

Not only did the blisters on the mouth of the recent director not heal, he also had acne on his forehead and chin.Those pimples were all red and round, and the director would grin in pain if he accidentally touched them.Now that key evidence has been obtained in the case, the director's anger should be put to rest.

Zhuge Yang walked in, and the director called him to his side and patted his shoulder twice with his thick palm. "Zhuge Yang, Zhuge Yang, your surname is not in vain. Old Chen taught you well, so do you."

"Director, when will Shang Lili be interrogated?"

The director seemed to be used to Zhuge Yang always interrupting him.He put his hands down and clasped them behind his back, bags under his eyes drooping. "Tomorrow, we'll close the case as soon as possible."

"Everyone has worked hard during this period. Let's take a good rest today. Zhuge Yang, sort out the files on the nursery rhyme murder case as soon as possible, straighten out the chain of evidence and write a report to me."

Zhuge Yang nodded in agreement.

In the office area, everyone smiled brightly and cheered.They talked about what they would eat and drink together in the evening to celebrate the solving of the case.

Zhuge Yang pushed open the door of his master's office alone and shut out the joy.

He sat on the master's swivel chair and tiptoed to the desk.There were wet wipes stuffed under the four wheels of the swivel chair, so it didn't move smoothly.

The tissue was stuffed by the master, who thought the chair was unstable.

On the desk, there are neat piles of letters that the master wrote on the case during his lifetime.The rest of the master's personal belongings have been taken home by the master's wife.

Zhuge Yang picked up the pile of letter paper, looked at the master's familiar handwriting, and rubbed the arrows and circles drawn with the carbon pen.

"Why they came to Beidaihe is very important. Let's find out."

The words the master once said seem to still ring in my ears.

Zhuge Yang's fingertips stopped and pressed on the black circle with the words "Why come to Beidaihe".

"Master, I have found out. The murderer has been found and the evidence is complete. Master, does your death have anything to do with Shang Lili?"

He couldn't wait to interrogate Shang Lili.

Shang Lili couldn't deny the pair of flowerpot-soled shoes with one tassel missing.

Zhuge Yang clenched his fists tightly, and the blue blood vessels on the back of his hands stretched.

April 4th is a beautiful day with bright sunshine.

Zhuge Yang stayed up almost all night last night, sorting out the evidence chain of the nursery rhyme murder case one by one and writing a report.

As each piece of evidence in the case was analyzed and confirmed, Zhuge Yang listed several things that needed further verification.

[-]. Shang Lili’s channels and transaction records for purchasing flowerpot bottom shoes, children’s shoes and other items.

[-]. Prove that Shang Lili did have time to commit the crime when Feng Yaozhong and Fu Mingyang were killed.

[-]. Has Shang Lili seen the deceased Wang Chen? Is there any relationship between Wang Chen's cerebral infarction and the other party?

[-]. The blurry video in the hotel basement, whether it is Shang Lili herself, and more details of the crime.

Shang Lili will be interrogated in the morning, and Zhuge Yang wants to wait until the interrogation is over to see if there is anything that needs to be added before handing in the report.

With dark circles under his eyes, he called Xiao Jiang and Xiao Liang, and the three of them entered the interrogation room together.

Inside, Shang Lili was sitting in a chair with her hands cuffed, her head lowered, her expression invisible.

Zhuge Yang and Xiao Liang sat at the table facing Shang Lili, while Xiao Jiang sat next to him and took notes.

"Shang Lili, do you know what you're going to talk about in our interrogation?" Xiao Liang spoke first, with excitement in his tone.

Zhuge Yang held a stack of photos in his hand and placed them on the table without making a sound.

Shang Lili still lowered her head, making no movement or speaking. "It's useless to refuse to answer. Avoiding can't solve any problems. Although this sentence is well-known to everyone, I still have to remind you that frankness will be lenient and resisting sternness. Shang Lili, please take the initiative to explain."

The people in the seats seemed to be asleep, and even the sound of breathing was inaudible.

Zhuge Yang rubbed his brows and spoke slowly. "Shang Lili, yesterday we went to Liren Nail Salon to conduct a search. What we found is enough to prove everything. It doesn't matter to us whether you open your mouth or not. But the result for you will be different."

"Who knows what you will stuff into my house." Shang Lili muttered in a low voice, but it was not hard to hear.

Xiao Liang was impatient. He slammed the table and shouted: "Hey, what do you mean by this? We have law enforcement recorders throughout the whole process, and you still want to bite the police back."

Zhuge Yang held Xiao Liang's arm and shook his head slightly.Xiao Liang angrily pulled back his arm, opened the water glass and drank half the glass.

Having been a policeman for so many years, of course the most annoying thing is the suspect who is still killed in front of the evidence.

Zhuge Yang was no less angry than Xiao Liang.

He flipped through the photos and pulled out a picture of a baseball bat. "One of these two baseball bats has my scalp tissue on it. It is certain that you attacked the police."

Shang Lili tilted her head and glanced at Zhuge Yang, seemingly showing a disdainful expression.

Zhuge Yang picked up another photo with two mobile phones in it. "There are two mobile phones in your bedside table. Among the short video accounts on the mobile phone, one is the account used to contact the victim of the nursery rhyme murder case, and the other is the account used to invite the victim to meet in Beidaihe. Are these two mobile phones yours? "

Shang Lili scratched the iron cuffs on her wrists back and forth against the wooden board, making harsh noises.

Zhuge Yang raised his voice and asked, "Why do you use your mobile phone number registered with someone else's ID card?"

"Picked it up." This time, Shang Lili spoke.

"Whose ID card did you pick up? When did you pick it up? Do you know the person on the ID card?"

"I know her. Isn't she the woman from Xinxin Xiangrong Supermarket?"

"When did you pick it up?"

"Can not remember."

"Why did you kill Feng Yaozhong and Fu Mingyang?"

Shang Lili raised her head and sneered in a neutral voice. "Comrade police, most of the chats and appointments made by netizens are just for fun. Who has the nerve to actually come to meet? Who is Feng Yaozhong, who is Fu Mingyang, and who committed the murder?"

Seeing that Shang Lili was still quibbling at this point, Xiao Liang couldn't hold it in anymore, but instead of hitting the table, he grabbed the last two photos and showed them to Shang Lili.

"Do you dare to say that these flowerpot-soled shoes, ancient costumes, these things are not yours? If you deny this, I will let you see the comparison between the footprints of these flowerpot-soled shoes and the bloody footprints at the murder scene. "

Shang Lili sighed heavily and said she wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Xiao Liang couldn't help but wanted to slap the table again, but Zhuge Yang held him down.

"Why did you learn to be like Tian Lin from the second team? Come here to find a cigarette." Zhuge Yang said in a low voice.

Xiao Liang muttered: "You are just like Tian Lin." After leaving the door, he came in holding a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

Shang Lili took two deep puffs of cigarette and blew out the smoke into smoke rings.She asked them with a smile: "Do you think it's good? I've been practicing this for a long time, and I almost choked to death."

Xiao Jiang on the side was very close, frowning and leaning on the back of the chair, trying to avoid the smoke rings that drifted past.

"Okay, I've finished smoking, it's time to talk." Zhuge Yang tapped the tip of his fingernail on the table.

However, Shang Lili seemed to be unsatisfied. She took several sips before blowing out a long stream of smoke and explaining everything.

"Yes, the phone is mine, and so are the shoes and clothes. I also killed the person."
