Chapter 7 Teenager - Sore Spots
case one boy
seven sore spots

When Xiao Letian opened the door and entered the interrogation room, Cheng Ye was lowering his head, stubbornly tearing off the barbs on the edge of his nails, sitting there quietly and irritablely.The iron door's bolt rang, and Cheng Ye tilted his head slightly, staring at the door against the light, his gaze flitting across Xiao Letian contemptuously, and then settled on Jiang Mo's neck who came a step late.

Cheng Ye shrank back almost imperceptibly, and the tearing movement of his fingers stopped abruptly with the tingling pain of blood dripping out.He stared at Jiang Mo for a few seconds, and quickly lowered his gaze the moment Jiang Mo looked at him, as if he was a little overwhelmed unexpectedly.

"I remember you shed a lot of blood..." Cheng Ye said abruptly, his voice hoarse and dry.

"Yeah, I stayed in the hospital for half a night." Jiang Mo was a little surprised by Cheng Ye's initiative to talk, and immediately grasped the topic Cheng Ye mentioned, half-raised his arm and tried to make a fist, but his eyes kept falling on Cheng Ye's face perfectly captured the expressions and movements he tried to restrain, "You didn't expect me to appear here."

"After bleeding so much, you shouldn't be able to stand here properly." Cheng Ye insisted stubbornly, raised his head again, but deliberately avoided Jiang Mo's gaze, "Girls are very fragile."

Jiang Mo bent his knuckles and tapped on the table, trying to attract Cheng Ye's erratic gaze, "Why do you think girls are fragile?"

Cheng Ye bit his back molars, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched faintly. He loosened his somewhat tense shoulders and neck, deliberately tightened his jaw and tilted his jaw back slightly. His eyes moved up from Jiang Mo's fingers, and finally fell on her face. : "You are a monster, not like them."

"Different from whom?"

"……Why should I tell you?"

Joking.

Jiang Mo could feel that Cheng Ye's subconscious panic when he first saw her appear had quickly receded.He spread his arms and sat on the chair even more relaxedly, apparently preparing for a tug-of-war with these two young policemen who seemed to be inexperienced.

Xiao Letian looked at Jiang Mo, and hesitantly took over the initiative of the interrogation under her affirmative gesture—however, Cheng Ye scoffed at the police's method of interrogation with less and more. The questioning turned into a glib game in the end, and within an hour, Xiao Letian's patience was on the verge of collapsing, disturbed by Cheng Ye's overly dismissive attitude, and his irritability index skyrocketed.

Jiang Mo glanced at Xiao Letian, feeling the need to wake up, unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to the little policeman.

Xiao Letian was tensing a string, and when the water bottle was attached to the back of his hand, he jerked violently. He frowned and looked at Jiang Mo, his ferocious baby face collapsed like a deflated rubber ball, and asked in a low voice: " Sister, what's the matter?"

Jiang Mo blinked his eyes and shook his head, got up and gave Cheng Ye a bottle of water: "It's okay, drink some water, you asked me."

Xiao Letian nodded obediently, poured half a bottle into his stomach in one breath, and then spoke with a tone like rolling in cold water, sinking unconsciously: "Cheng Ye, have you finished drinking the water? Continue to talk The case on Chemical Street. From September 12th to NO.[-], why did you appear near Chemical Street during these three nights?"

The plastic bottle in Cheng Ye's hand was "clicked" by him, and he calmly replied: "Just find anyone who is good-looking and follow. Maybe she lives there and didn't pay attention to where it is."

This statement has repeatedly and unmistakably appeared in Cheng Ye's confession.

Xiao Letian tried to give the information that the police already had the information that his life activities overlapped with the crime location, Cheng Ye's indifference seemed to be really ignorant.Jiang Mo stared at him, suddenly interjected, and asked more directly: "The victim's commute to and from get off work and rest days don't overlap with yours, where did you follow?"

Cheng Ye instinctively cast his eyes on Jiang Mo, who was speaking, and then his eyes quickly sank down, his Adam's apple rolled a few times, his brows tightened, and he was very impatient: "Is it okay for me to go out for a few nights on weekends? How could I remember where I followed after a long time... Besides, I was just tailgating when I was on Chemical Street, and it didn't matter. She fell and slapped her first. I slapped her twice because I was afraid she would bite her. The tongue is dead there and then blamed on me——in this case, she has the face to accuse me of |rape||rape||attempt? It's quite |cheesy|..."

"Keep your mouth clean! How dare you say you didn't pick someone's clothes?!"

Xiao Letian smashed the table, turned his head and vaguely figured out some way to upset Cheng Ye, and picked up marginal issues that were irrelevant to the complete chain of evidence and circled him: "Since time can't be remembered for a long time, then Let’s talk about the recent ones. You and Xia Yan’s boyfriend Zheng Fei are in the same class. You should know that they have a habit of dating after school recently. Then why did you choose Xia Yan as the victim? You are not afraid of Zheng Fei rushing over. recognized you..."

Cheng Ye's thoughts were still caught in the previous question, and he interrupted impatiently: "Zheng Fei won't come at all."

"Why doesn't he come?"

"What does this have to do with the case?!"

Xiao Letian breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing how to respond to this, Jiang Mo tapped on the table lightly, and asked calmly: "Zheng Fei has never cooperated with the police investigation to take a statement, if he knows something, but repeatedly If we conceal the words from the police, we can consider inviting him over for a chat as a cover-up."

Cheng Ye glanced at him and sneered, "He knows shit."

"If he doesn't know anything, then Zheng Fei is a passerby who is likely to appear randomly. Why do you think he won't appear? Or..." Jiang Mo paused for two seconds, "Even if he appears, he will pretend to know everything. Can't see?"

"I said that trash has nothing to do with this case!"

As soon as the words fell, Cheng Ye's eyes widened and he looked away.

Zheng Fei's existence itself has never been linked to the case, and he is just one of the timeline witnesses of the victim in Xia Yan's case.In addition, some of Zheng Fei's relatives did not want the case to have a negative impact on his academic performance, so the police did not hold on to him. However, for such an insignificant person, Cheng Ye was concerned about him. An unexpected overreaction to a problem is equivalent to having words carved on your forehead. It is obvious that there is something hidden in it.Could Zheng Fei be an accomplice?Or an important witness with knowledge?Why is Cheng Ye so sure that Zheng Fei will not pose a threat?

When Xiao Letian heard this, he straightened up and was eager to try, but Jiang Mo kicked him on his leg that was shaking like he was stepping on a sewing machine, and asked a question first, suddenly relaxing Cheng Ye's tense nerves, "Then Ask someone related, I've always been curious, why did Xia Yan hit so hard? If Xia Yan's injury was similar to the previous cases, we wouldn't go all out to arrest you."

Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, and the rhetoric that he had just prepared to deal with the "Zheng Fei incident" was forced to put it on hold. It seemed that he hadn't recovered completely to think about how to deal with this matter, so he stammered: "She... ...She resisted too much, I couldn't help it..."

Jiang Mo looked into Cheng Ye's eyes, shook his head slightly after a long while: "No, when you hit her face with a stone, she was already almost fainted and unable to move, there is no need to continue to inflict damage, causing Xia Yan Multiple open fractures—"

Jiang Mo paused for a few seconds, and added: "...the whole body is covered in blood."

Cheng Ye shifted uneasily on his chair, took a breath and wanted to speak out, but Jiang Mo leaned forward slightly, resting his elbows on the edge of the table, looking at Cheng Ye's face thoughtfully, and suddenly said: " Xia Yan has a red plaid skirt that she particularly likes, and she wears it almost every time she goes to Zheng Fei's school for a date... But she happened to be feeling unwell on the day she was attacked and injured, so she specially changed into a plain and warm one. light-colored clothes.”

Cheng Ye didn't answer, and slightly pressed the corner of his mouth.

"This doesn't seem to be in line with your criteria for choosing a victim, Cheng Ye. The previous victims all had red accessories - red schoolbags, red shoes, red tops, red nail polish..." Jiang Mo flipped through the photos in the file carelessly, but his eyes always lingered on Cheng Ye's face: "Xia Yan suddenly wore clothes that didn't suit your liking, and you became angry, right? But it's been too long since the last time I followed you. Everything is ready, you really can't help yourself. Since she is not wearing a red dress, you might as well use her blood to dye her clothes red, so they all look the same... Anyway, your purpose is not to violate To that final step.”

Jiang Mo finished speaking, and before Cheng Ye could be deceived, Xiao Letian fluttered like a fish, his eyes widened, and he stiffly turned his head to look at Jiang Mo.

Regarding the frequent appearance of "red" elements on victims, the file only mentioned it briefly as a reference for criminal psychology research.Although Jiang Mo learned more comprehensively when he followed the female police officer from the police station to visit the victims, because the appearance of red in clothing or outfits was accidental, the evidence collection of the victims who assisted in filing the case was incomplete, and the absolute characteristics were not obvious, so even though this key point is not related to Cheng Ye The triggering of criminal behavior is likely to be related, and the police have not directly regarded it as a link in the evidence chain for the time being.

Cheng Ye frowned and looked at Jiang Mo, leaned back slightly in his chair, and sneered nonchalantly: "Police officer, are you telling a story? Is red a special color? There are red envelopes and red clothes everywhere. , this is also evidence? Could it be that you deliberately wore a red dress to seduce me because you guessed that I like red? You policemen are sloppy in arresting people, aren't they?"

"It's okay to listen to the story." Jiang Mo didn't deny it, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and still looked directly at him: "Cheng Ye, do you know how many days we squatted with you? Five days. I change clothes of different colors and lengths every day Hanging around in the alleys near No. [-] Middle School, and then you showed up when you were wearing a red dress on the third day... We also thought it was a coincidence, so we changed clothes of other colors on the fourth day, but got nothing. Changing into a red dress, you followed up again...and this time—with a knife, you almost stabbed me in half."

Cheng Ye didn't make a sound, his upper body leaning against the back of the chair showed a posture of stiff resistance.

"Before Xia Yan, you should have never thought of killing people. The knife only appeared after Xia Yan, so why did you suddenly want to use a knife? Did Xia Yan's appearance of blood irritate you?" Jiang Mo intentionally With a contemplative expression, he looked probingly at Cheng Ye's bloodshot eyes, "Or, why, do you want to kill someone all of a sudden?"

"...It was you who enforced the law violently, and I defended myself right behind. I didn't intend to kill anyone." Cheng Ye forced his words back with red eyes, with an expression that wanted to crush Jiang Mo, "...but Not necessarily now."

Jiang Mo was overjoyed when he heard it: "What's the matter, do you still want to try?"

Xiao Letian was a little apprehensive at seeing this, so he cleared his throat and yelled at Cheng Ye, then reached out and grabbed the corner of Jiang Mo's clothes and tugged twice, for fear that his senior sister would go crazy confronting the suspect——Jiang Mo Mo took a look at Xiao Letian understanding, took advantage of the situation and "let the virtuous", and handed over to the junior brother to finish.

Cheng Ye's emotions swelled and tightened rapidly, and he answered a few words lazily before being too lazy to make a sound, nestling there exhaustedly panting.

Jiang Mo had already put one leg out of the table, and when he was about to retreat, he suddenly remembered, and asked casually: "By the way... Since you are still a high school student, we have to notify the guardian, but now no parent can be contacted. You You know that Dad ran away with usury and caused trouble? He doesn’t answer anyone’s phone now, is there any way for you to contact him? "

Cheng Ye didn't look up, he just laughed casually, "My dad? My dad died a long time ago."

Jiang Mo was stunned, and looked at Xiao Letian who was full of disbelief, then retracted his legs and sat upright again, "When? Where did you die? How do you know?"

Cheng Ye squinted at the two policemen in front of him, and felt that their tense expressions were ridiculous: "It is said that I died on the construction site, and I was not born when I died... Would you like to burn a piece of paper and ask?"

Xiao Letian was just as if he was facing a big enemy, he thought that he had made some unexpected and important discovery, so he immediately vented his anger after hearing this, and listened to Cheng Ye's nonsense with his arms folded.Jiang Mo laughed, quite interested, and said puzzledly: "Then this is your stepfather in the household registration book? I see that your mother only married once in the household registration book."

"Having a child out of wedlock, in order not to lose the job made by the teacher, I just found a spare child and married." Cheng Ye was tired of being interrogated by these two little policemen in various places, and he tapped the table rhythmically while holding the plastic bottle, "surname Cheng's picture is happy for a while, and he brings other women back when he gets tired of playing. The two of them are trying to maintain the so-called face. Earning money satisfies her vanity of comparison, and everyone gets what they need."

In Cheng Ye's eyes, the identity of "father" is just a tool, and there is more than contempt and no respect.But Jiang Mo was a little uncertain about his attitude towards his mother, and responded ambiguously: "The relationship between the two of them can at least allow you to live and study without worrying about food and clothing, but it's a pity...you failed your mother Your good intentions—"

Before Jiang Mo could finish his sentence, Cheng Ye suddenly raised his hand and threw the plastic bottle to the foot of the table, making a loud bang.

"If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be what I am today!" Cheng Ye's voice seemed to be crushing gravel, and the back molars made a "creak" sound—he was stunned after roaring, and realized in the blink of an eye. To the emotion of his sudden runaway.He opened his mouth slightly, leaned back on the chair and smiled strangely, as if he had no scruples, "Insanity is inherited, I am a lunatic, how do you think she will be better? Don't say I didn't | rape|| rape |The truth is, as long as I apply for a psychiatric appraisal, you won’t be able to judge me, and I’ll be out after a few years in a mental hospital, when the time comes... Sister, shall I go find you?”

Jiang Mo looked at him silently for a few seconds, raised his hand and snapped his fingers in front of Xiao Letian, who was so nervous that he was dazed, and knocked on the table to signal that this was the end, then picked up the plastic bottle at the foot of the table, and looked at Cheng Cheng indifferently. Ye took a look.

"Whether to sentence you, how to sentence you, we don't care. You can find all kinds of excuses to escape punishment. I also have a lot of ways to make you pay for your crimes. The question is, do you dare?"
