Synopsis:
The main text of this novel has been completed. The next one to be released is "After Transmigrating into a Crow, I Became Invincible at Solving Cases [Nineties]". Hope ever...
Chapter 110: Absurdity A very absurd guess...
After Ji Mingcheng interrogated them again and confirmed that these people only knew what they had learned before, he became a little passive and sat in the front interrogation seat, crossing his legs and relaxing.
However, the speed at which he spun the pen became faster and faster, with various tricks, which amazed Qiu Jiang again and again.
Wang Li, who was next to him, didn't even sit down, but leaned against the wall by the door and looked at the roof.
Although the two men had different attitudes, they gave her the feeling that they did not take the interrogation of these four people seriously.
Of course, she didn't mean that Team Ji and the others hadn't conducted the interrogation seriously. It was just that according to her judgment, since they couldn't get any useful information from these people, there was no need to continue wasting time with them.
But everyone is still in this interrogation room... each busy with their own things.
Anyone who comes here will find it very strange.
Not to mention Qiu Jiang, who is very perceptive most of the time.
She always felt like they were hiding something from her, and that was the reason why they were behaving so strangely at the moment.
Actually, it is understandable. Sometimes, if you come across a rare clue or idea, the more people know about it, the more likely it is that something will go wrong. What's more, she didn't go in at the time and didn't know what happened inside, so it's not surprising that they didn't have time or couldn't tell her.
Because she thinks quickly, she can figure all this out.
But people's curiosity is not so easy to fade away. She followed their example and emptied her mind, tapping her cheek lightly with a ballpoint pen, feeling as if a feather was passing through her heart.
Itchy.
At the same time, the interrogation room next door where Wang Bing was imprisoned was so loud that Wang Bing kept howling, and even the normally soundproofed interrogation room could not block out his voice, which could be clearly heard in this interrogation room.
Every time I listen to it, my ears hurt.
Qiu Jiang covered his ears with his hands and continued to think with his head down.
After half an hour, the door was knocked five times in succession. When the door was opened for the last time, the man knocking on the door was so anxious that he was about to burst out. He said anxiously, "Xiao Wang, I really have no other choice. The suspect has started banging his head against the table and insists that you go over and interrogate him. Talk to your superiors and see if we should interrogate him first..."
Wang Li turned around and asked Ji Mingcheng for instructions.
Ji Mingcheng raised the corners of his lips, straightened his shirt and said, "Go."
"yes."
He strode out quickly. Qiu Jiang had already packed up her things and suddenly stood up to follow him.
The moment she went out, she witnessed the whole process of Ji Mingcheng's expression changing from sunny to gloomy and then to furious.
That last expression is kind of scary.
Qiu Jiang's heart skipped a beat, but she also felt that Captain Ji's personality was not something he would act like this.
In short, it just feels very inconsistent.
This sense of incongruity quickly overwhelmed her nervousness from seeing his appearance just now.
Outside Wang Bing's interrogation room, Ji Mingcheng's voice was filled with anger.
"What the hell? He's going to answer me and I'm coming over here? Who is the suspect?"
Wang Li quickly replied, "Captain Ji, then let's go to the place they mentioned first?"
"First see what this thing says."
Ji Mingcheng walked in with a frown on his face and an irritable expression. After he came in, the atmosphere in the entire interrogation room seemed to be frozen.
Wang Bing heard everything he said and had been observing his expression since he came in.
Seeing Ji Mingcheng sitting down with an impatient look on his face, his heart suddenly started beating wildly. He licked his lips nervously and even forced a smile unconsciously on his face, as if he was trying to curry favor with him.
Qiu Jiang took in his expression, and then thought about what had happened to Captain Ji and Wang Li just now...
She blinked, sudden realization dawning on her.
So that's how it is.
After figuring it out, the corners of her lips curled up slightly, but her expression quickly became serious. After sitting down, she quickly started recording.
Wang Bing no longer dared to take action and said cautiously, "Police comrade, aren't you trying to find those explosives? I have a crucial clue. I'm applying to atone for my crime. As long as you agree, I'll tell you everything."
Seeing Ji Mingcheng about to lose his temper, Wang Bing hurriedly said, "Chen Dayou is very cautious. Normally, when he sets off explosives, he always asks us to park far away so that we won't see. Li Dali and his men only know about Shijia Village, but that area is so big. If you leave them there to search, there's a chance they might explode."
"But if you work with me, I can help you narrow down a lot of the scope."
Ji Mingcheng laughed, narrowing his eyes slightly and sneered, "You yourself said that he didn't want you to see it, so why aren't you included?"
Wang Bing clenched his hands, anger and resentment rising in his heart.
In the past, he just thought that Chen Dayou was cautious, not that he didn't trust him. He believed that one day he would be able to gain his trust, and then the two of them would fight side by side and sweeping through several nearby cities would not be a problem.
It turned out that all this was just his wishful thinking. Chen Dayou didn't trust him before, and now he was only concerned about his own life and didn't care about his life or death at all.
He clearly had a chance to escape when he noticed the police coming in, but when he saw the police vaguely chasing Chen Dayou, he got angry and opened fire.
But he never thought carefully about how he would be caught by the police today if Chen Dayou really valued him so much.
Moreover, Li Dali and his group of rotten people have no backbone at all and can't keep a secret at all. They had already confessed some people in the building, and when they came here, they confessed faster than the other, hoping to make meritorious service while serving their sentence and seek leniency.
Fortunately, he was smart enough to secretly follow Chen Dayou and knew the approximate range of the explosives. Otherwise, he would not be able to get any reduction in sentence. How long would he have to stay in prison?
How could he be willing to do a business that would lose money?
So he repeatedly emphasized, "I'm the only one who knows that place. If I don't lead the way, you'll never find it."
"And I can assure you that the explosives are not in the house. If it gets hot or encounters a spark, it could explode at any time."
Wang Bing made up his mind that they dared not let go of this dangerous hidden danger, and he calmed down after he finished speaking.
It has come to this point anyway, how much worse can it get?
It has to be said that he grasped what Ji Mingcheng and the others were most worried about at the moment.
Ji Mingcheng frowned and knocked on the table.
Wang Li's expression became increasingly grim, but unfortunately the news from the special police was not very optimistic.
Wang Bing became more and more proud and started shaking his legs.
Qiu Jiang glared at him when she saw how arrogant he was.
But now, if we want to know the location of the explosives, we still have to rely on him.
Captain Ji and Brother Wang worked so hard to put on such a long drama just to pry this information out of him.
It turned out that he actually felt it and even used it to threaten them.
It seems as if if they say the sentence can be reduced, the court will accept their opinion.
What's more, he is such a disgusting person. If Qiu Jiang really makes a suggestion to reduce his sentence, she will feel nauseous just thinking about it.
If it was just a lie like in the previous case, saying it could be considered, Wang Bing, with his cautious nature, would definitely not be fooled.
If they really agree to his request, regardless of whether what they say will work, if Wang Bing's demands are not met, he will definitely cause trouble again, and may even turn the tables and create other problems.
No matter how you think about it, it's a terrible thing.
His path is currently blocked, but other paths may not be much easier.
Because Li Dali and the others only knew that after they usually parked their car on the road at the entrance of Shijia Village, Chen Dayou would put the explosives in a bag and take them away, then disappear for an hour, and when they came back, the explosives would be gone.
Generally speaking, an adult man can walk about five or six kilometers in an hour. Excluding the half hour of returning, he can at least reach a place 2.5 to 3 kilometers away from where Li Dali and his friends parked.
Two and a half... to three kilometers.
Two point five...
Three kilometers.
She drew a dot on the paper to represent Shijia Village. N lines could be extended from the intersection of Shijia Village, which means the search range was between 2.5 and 3 kilometers in radius, which was about 300 to 400 acres.
Even if it can be confirmed that Chen Dayou was heading towards Shijia Village, the search space can be considered to be within a semicircle of 2.5 to 3 kilometers extending from the village entrance road towards Shijia Village, which is nearly 200 acres.
It is not easy to search such a large area, not to mention if he wants to make it more secretive, it will be even more difficult to search.
In this case, they are really helpless.
Currently in a stalemate.
No matter how much he was threatened, Wang Bing gritted his teeth and said just one sentence.
I can tell you, but you have to be lenient with me.
It would be best if he could avoid going to jail, but if it is unavoidable, two years is the maximum he can accept.
Not even one more day.
Ji Mingcheng laughed angrily.
"I've been a police officer for so many years, and you're the first person to threaten me with this."
Wang Bing even laughed cheerfully twice, "It's my honor."
Ji Mingcheng slammed the table and left angrily.
After the leaders left, Qiu Jiang naturally followed them out.
As soon as I went out, I saw Ji Mingcheng took out his cell phone and was talking to someone.
It was obvious that the news from the other side was not very good. She could visibly feel that the mood of their team was becoming more unstable.
To be honest, her mood wasn't much better.
That Wang Bing was simply unyielding and his purpose was quite clear.
Just when she was wondering if there was any other way, Deng Xingwang and his team, who had gone to visit the residents near Xiaohe Bridge, also returned.
They were all visibly exhausted, but compared to the physical fatigue, the psychological fatigue of not being able to find any useful clues was more torturous.
I really don’t know how to explain this to Team Ji later.
They were listless.
But sometimes, the more you don’t want to face something, the more you will face it in advance.
They had just stepped into the police station lobby when they saw their Captain Ji who was in a bad mood. What was even worse was that Captain Ji noticed them, hung up the phone and looked at them.
It was obvious that he wanted them to come over.
Deng Xingwang and the others' hearts were pounding, but they couldn't run away. They cried silently for a long time, and finally walked up to Ji Mingcheng.
"What did you find?" Ji Mingcheng asked.
"I'm sorry, Captain Ji, we didn't find any useful clues." Deng Xingwang lowered his head, his face full of shame.
After all, it was my first time to take the lead in charge of an area, but I ended up messing it up.
Thinking about the trivial matters he had asked, Deng Xingwang felt ashamed to see him.
"Trivial?" Ji Mingcheng repeated.
Deng Xingwang and the others had shame on their faces.
"Captain Ji, there are actually people nearby who know the leader of the escaped gang, Chen Dayou."
"But they don't know where Chen Dayou lives now, because Chen Dayou had a feud with his family when he was young, and he left home a long time ago to make his way in the world. He only comes back to the village a few days a year. If his mother hadn't fallen seriously ill and passed away, he would never have come back."
"Perhaps he feels guilty towards his mother. Even though he still doesn't go home to see his father very often, every time he comes back he always brings a big black bag of yellow paper to burn for his mother."
"He always brings so much yellow paper with him, but it's not enough. Every time he arrives at the village entrance, he buys a lot from the store at the entrance. He basically clears out the store's stock every time. Knowing that he has this habit, the stores at the other intersections have stocked up on yellow paper in his store, waiting for him to clear out the stock."
"Because he bought so much, the two shop owners praised Chen Dayou for being filial to everyone they met."
"The man we questioned rarely returns to Shijia Village. If the two bosses hadn't told him many times, and he hadn't seen Chen Dayou in the store several times, he probably wouldn't have recognized Chen Dayou."
But who knows.
Such a filial son is actually a gang leader.
This contrast is really hard not to feel regretful.
Qiu Jiang listened to them quietly.
Several key points kept passing through my mind.
Black bag, two intersections, filial piety...
She felt something was amiss and quickly asked Deng Xingwang, "There are two entrances to Shijia Village?"
Deng Xingwang is from Anxi, but he doesn't go to Shijia Village very often, so he really doesn't know the specific situation. He only knows that this is what the eldest brother said.
Naturally, there were people who knew about this. Wang Li and another person in the team said it was correct.
"The entrance to Shijia Village is right at that road. Because Shijia Village is quite large and a bit far from north to south, they have two main roads running north and south for easy access. They're about three or four hundred meters apart, and both roads lead to the road, so there's no problem with having two entrances to the village."
As soon as he finished answering, Ji Mingcheng quickly asked, "Where are the people of Shijia Village usually buried?"
Wang Li frowned, "I'm not sure about that, but generally people in the village are buried in the village grounds after they die."
He was afraid that Ji Mingcheng didn't understand the customs of the mainland, so he explained, "Before the burial, the family of the deceased will ask someone to calculate a Feng Shui site. The land is not restricted to anyone else's."
"Besides, burying the deceased is a big deal. Plus, this custom has been around for a long time, so most people want to be buried in a good place after they die. As long as there isn't a feud between two families or the family members are difficult to deal with, basically, as long as you tell them, they will generally agree."
"So normally people are buried in the ground."
Qiu Jiang suddenly summed up.
"That's right."
Others whose families came from rural areas also nodded, indicating that this was the case.
"Then where is Chen Dayou's mother buried?"
"Then where is Chen Dayou's mother buried?"
Two voices sounded almost at the same time.
Qiu Jiang and Ji Mingcheng looked at each other, and it was no surprise that they both guessed a very absurd place.
It was so absurd that they were reluctant to believe it at the moment.
But at present, this is the only way of thinking, and we must get to the bottom of it.
Now Wang Li and the others were confused by this question.
This kind of thing is not something they are likely to know, so if they want to ask, they have to ask the people in Shijia Village.
Everyone looked at Deng Xingwang.
Deng Xingwang: “…”
He hurriedly found Qiu Jiang, picked up the phone, and called the big brother from the afternoon.
