Chapter 104 Fishing

Outside the interrogation room, there were only Zhou Yi and Wu Yongcheng, but no Qiao Jiali.

Wu Yongcheng held a cigarette in his hand and looked at Zhou Yi's hard work "performance", feeling like laughing.

"I understand. Leave the rest to me. You must protect Xu Xinxin, this important witness."

After saying this to the air, Zhou Yi turned around, opened the door and walked in.

The moment he walked into the door, Wu Yongcheng saw from the side that Zhou Yi's expression changed in an instant.

Zhou Yi's face was as cold as ice, and he glanced at Xu Jiaguang domineeringly.

Xu Jiaguang only felt a chill on his neck and an inexplicable chill.

Zhou Yi pulled the chair open heavily, and the chair made a friction sound against the ground.

Bang--

Zhou Yi slammed the chair and sat down, and Xu Jiaguang shuddered all over.

Wu Yongcheng outside the door put out his cigarette, knowing it was his turn to come on stage.

He trotted a few steps, pushed open the door of the interrogation room, and said calmly, "I ate too much tonight, and my stomach is really stuffy. Come on, let's continue."

Wu Yongcheng sat down, opened the transcript, and said, "Let's continue."

But he didn't hear Zhou Yi's answer. He turned around and saw Zhou Yi's face was ashen. He asked in surprise: "Hey, what's going on?"

Zhou Yi pointed at Xu Jiaguang, who lowered his head and didn't dare look him in the eye, and said coldly, "You have to ask him what he did."

Xu Jiaguang broke out in a cold sweat.

Wu Yongcheng looked at Xu Jiaguang in surprise and asked Zhou Yi, "What? Any new clues?"

Zhou Yi slammed the table and shouted, "Xu Jiaguang, explain again how you killed Zhang Hui!"

"No... haven't I already explained it? Why... do you still need to explain it?"

"Is this where you bargain? Do you think this is a vegetable market?"

"Also, Xu Jiaguang, I'm seriously reminding you that you are responsible for every word you say here!"

Wu Yongcheng looked at Xu Jiaguang and found that Zhou Yi had really tricked him. Xu Jiaguang was now sweating profusely.

"I... let me think..."

But Zhou Yi didn't give him time to think. He immediately pressed him aggressively, "Did you lie before?"

"I……"

"Did you have the intention to kill her before the incident?"

"Did you plan all this long ago?"

Zhou Yi spoke very quickly and asked sharp questions, which made Xu Jiaguang panic.

Wu Yongcheng knew that this was a critical moment and Zhou Yi was engaging in a psychological game with Xu Jiaguang.

Just like fishing, whether the fish will be exhausted and at the mercy of others, or will escape from the hook, all depends on this moment.

The tense atmosphere instantly became taut like a string.

"I...I really didn't." Xu Jiaguang's last words declared that the fish was still off the hook.

In fact, Zhou Yi was not surprised by this result. His idea of ​​using Xu Xinxin as a witness to deceive Xu Jiaguang had a logical flaw in itself.

Not to mention how such a young child could not have any reaction if he witnessed such a scene.

Next, if Xu Jiaguang had premeditated the murder, he would have added more sleeping pills than usual to the milk Xu Xinxin drank that night, because dismembering the body and cleaning up the scene is a long process, and he had to ensure that his daughter would not wake up.

But he was unwilling to give up and still wanted to give it a try, just in case.

However, although he failed, he at least confirmed his guess, and Xu Jiaguang's reaction explained everything.

The problem comes back to the most difficult part, evidence.

This is sufficient evidence to prove that Xu Jiaguang was not guilty of manslaughter, but intentional homicide.

There was an eerie silence in the interrogation room.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, breaking the silence.

Zhou Yi opened the door and saw that it was Qiao Jiali.

He closed the door and asked, "Sister Qiao, what's wrong?"

"The front desk at the nearby guesthouse called. Xiao Shuang said she has something important to discuss with you."

"Lu Xiaoshuang? Is there something wrong with Xu Xinxin?"

"I don't know either."

"Okay, I'll be right there."

"Can I go with you?" Qiao Jiali pointed inside and asked, "How is it? Did you gain anything?"

Zhou Yi shook his head.

…

The two arrived at the guesthouse and immediately headed straight there after learning the room number of Lu Xiaoshuang and Xu Xinxin.

When he arrived at the door, Zhou Yi was about to knock when the door opened by itself.

Lu Xiaoshuang opened the door and said, "Brother Zhou, Officer Qiao, I heard your footsteps."

"What happened? Did something happen to Xu Xinxin?"

Lu Xiaoshuang made a gesture to keep quiet, then quietly closed the door and walked out.

He whispered, "I just fell asleep and I'm afraid of waking the child."

"What's going on?"

"When I was sleeping earlier, Xu Xinxin suddenly struggled and cried for some reason, shouting, 'Daddy, don't hit me, I was wrong.' I thought she was having a nightmare and tried to comfort her for a long time."

"I felt strange, so I lifted her clothes and took a look..."

"What did you see?"

Lu Xiaoshuang suddenly showed a frightened expression on her face and said, "Scars."

"What kind of scar?" Zhou Yi felt something was wrong.

Lu Xiaoshuang shook her head: "I can't recognize this."

Zhou Yi looked at Qiao Jiali, who immediately said, "I'll go check it out."

As he said that, he went into the house.

A moment later, Qiao Jiali came out with a very ugly look on her face.

"Sister Qiao, how is it?"

"I didn't dare to examine the child too closely because I was afraid of waking him. But based on my initial observation, I can see two types of injuries on the child."

"What? There are actually two more?"

Qiao Jiali nodded. "Both are bruises, but one is probably from a beating, on the child's buttocks and thighs. The other, like from being tied up with ropes, is on all the joints of the limbs, but it's less obvious."

"Rope!" Zhou Yi was suddenly startled. "Sister Qiao, the rope you found earlier!"

Qiao Jiali's face changed instantly because he understood what Zhou Yi meant.

"You mean..."

Zhou Yi nodded, but glanced at Lu Xiaoshuang and didn't continue.

Although Lu Xiaoshuang didn't know what they were talking about, she knew it was definitely not a good thing.

"Xiaoshuang, you'll have to work hard tonight. Tomorrow morning, when the child wakes up, bring her here and we'll let the doctor check her out." Zhou Yi said.

Lu Xiaoshuang nodded.

Zhou Yi and Qiao Jiali walked out of the guesthouse, both of them with fire in their eyes.

This case is getting more and more terrifying the more we dig into it.

"I'll go to the technical department now and ask them to test the rope first," said Qiao Jiali.

Zhou Yi nodded, "Sister Qiao, I'll stand outside for a while. I want to calm down."

"Yeah." Qiao Jiali left quickly.

On the road outside the Municipal Bureau, a group of moths were circling under the dim street lights.

Further away is a lake that belongs to a park.

Zhou Yi walked across the street and looked at the dark and silent lake.

He no longer dared to think about it.

In the previous life, Xu Jiaguang killed and dismembered someone and got away with it, while Zhang Hui's body was dismembered and she disappeared from the face of the earth.

But Xu Xinxin has been living in hell on earth!

"Fuck!" Zhou Yi cursed angrily at the endless darkness.
