Chapter 93
The atmosphere in the office was strange.
Two police officers sat one in front of the other.
The male police superintendent was about fifty years old, wearing a police hat and sitting near the door, while Shi Yubing wore a black suit with an ID card on his chest.
The two looked at each other.
"Were they fortune-telling outside just now?"
After a long while, Superintendent Liang reached out and tapped the teacup on the table. After putting it down, he took it back, clasped his hands together and smiled, "This is the first time I've seen someone in the serious crime unit use this method to try a case."
Shi Yubing couldn't figure out whether the police superintendent was angry or not.
The serious crime unit mostly faces homicide cases, and the suspects are usually cunning and have strong anti-detection skills. In order to break the psychological defenses of criminals, interrogators will specialize in criminal psychology to break the criminals' psychology from all levels.
Normally, it takes two hours to interrogate a prisoner. If you encounter a more cunning prisoner, the time will be extended to several days or months.
Just now...
the little girl at the door only took less than half an hour? The criminal Ding Yanli had an emotional breakdown, right?
"The person just now was not a police officer. She was Zhou Shazhan's friend. She intervened just to help. She was really kind-hearted."
Shi Yubing was worried that Superintendent Liang would blame the little girl. At least in the police station that firmly believed that only science and evidence could catch criminals, fortune-telling was considered a crooked way.
Superintendent Liang was stunned for a moment, watching Shi Yubing rushing to excuse the little girl. He laughed and pointed at Shi Yubing repeatedly, "Yubing, Yubing, when did I say that we should blame them? I am not necessarily so petty in your mind?"
"But, I am indeed curious about fortune-telling." Superintendent Liang said meaningfully, "On the surface, the little girl's divination just now did break the criminal's psychological defense. The little girl is the one who called the police, right? Whether the criminal has been investigated before, we don't know."
Superintendent Liang did not say the deeper words.
Shi Yubing understood.
Both of them started as plainclothes officers in the serious crime team, and they have experienced countless difficulties and hardships during this period. Superintendent Liang has seen all kinds of cases and is well aware of the evil of human nature.
What he meant was.
The girl had already investigated Ding Yanli's life experience. Because of the old grudge, she attacked Ding's psychological defenses face to face and defeated her.
"Yubing, all parts of the serious crime team have applied for special technical personnel support. I saw that your D team has not applied yet. Do you have any ideas?"
Shi Yubing also asked the people in D team about this matter. D team strongly requested to invite Xiaoxiao. Shi Boren also said that if D team had Xiaoxiao, all murder criminals would have nowhere to hide and they could catch criminals with just a pinch of their fingers.
Shi Yubing was in a dilemma.
The police station is a place that talks about science, evidence, and law. She thinks it's okay for D team to apply for a doctoral psychologist.
But this fortune-telling...
the higher-ups will never approve it.
Seeing that there is no way to invite Chu Yuexiao, the D team lost interest in special technical personnel support one by one.
Shi Boren was even more indifferent: "Forget it then, what are you doing here? Are you going to hold us back or have multiple people squeeze into the toilet?"
Shi Yubing kept suppressing this matter.
"Superintendent Liang, you see that the declaration of Group D must meet their needs for handling the case and learn from each other's strengths. It is of no use to blindly invite them here. I think it is better to wait for them to think clearly before making a decision."
"Yes, as long as it takes. But..." Superintendent Liang paused for a moment. Shi Yubing hesitated. He couldn't tell what his subordinates were thinking. "Don't get involved in mysterious and mysterious things like fortune telling."
"You and I both know that there is no substantial evidence for things based on conjecture. There is no way it can be used as evidence in court, let alone to convict the murderer."
The words have already been spoken.
Shi Yubing could only reply, "Yes Sir."
Chu Yueqing sat by the window with her milk tea, and could see people coming and going at the entrance of the police station. She took a sip of milk tea, and the smooth and sweet taste made her brows relax.
Shi Boren pushed open the office door, took a page of confession and put it on Zhou Fengxu's desk, "The interrogation is over. Zuiji bought drugs and Ding Yanli poisoned him."
Zhou Fengxu put the confession aside, rolled up his sleeves and continued to write the report without looking up, "What about Uncle Zhong?"
"It's done too." Uncle Zhong just pushed open the door and handed the confession over, "The one under interrogation is so cunning. He knows nothing when asked and puts everything on Ding Yanli."
Gan Yizu was excited, "Uncle Zhong still has a way. He scared Zuiji and said that Ding Yanli had confessed everything, and said that if he didn't take the initiative to clarify, he would be held primarily responsible."
Just like this scare, Zuiji rushed to say everything.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk." Shi Boren sat at his desk and sighed, "Arsenic trioxide, arsenic in ancient times. The snake woman poisoned Uncle Zhong for four days in a row, but she didn't kill him. He was really lucky to buy a lottery ticket. Right, eh?"
Chu Yueying shook the milk tea cup, "Uncle Zhong is in a life-or-death situation. He doesn't have any unexpected wealth in his destiny, so buying lottery tickets won't work. By the way, how is Uncle Zhong?"
After the person was taken away by the ambulance, no news was received.
Shi Boren was also surprised: "Yes, the hospital hasn't called yet."
As soon as the voice fell.
The phone in the office rang.
"This is the Serious Crime Unit D. Is the patient conscious? Okay, please."
Zhou Fengxu hung up the phone and raised his eyes.
"Uncle Zhong has woken up."
Shi Boren came down from the desk, stretched his muscles, and shook his head at Chu Yueling, "Let's go! Brother Ren will take you to finish it!"
Chu Yueling also jumped down, shaking the milk tea cup with a smile, "Who will take who?"
"Hey, can you take me?" Shi Boren grinned, and suddenly, he thought of something and sighed again, "If the girl's case was solved, we would have nothing to worry about. After recording the statement, we can make an appointment for afternoon tea together."
"Not solved yet?" Chu Yueling had calculated the murderer's information a few days ago. She shook the milk tea cup and raised her eyebrows, "Didn't calculate it correctly?"
That doesn't make sense. Her divination is rarely wrong.
"No." Shi Boren explained worriedly, "We found such a person, named Ma Zhengqi, and all his conditions are consistent with the information you provided. When we were looking through the old cases, we also found Ma Zhengqi's confession."
Chu Yueqing was puzzled: "Since everyone suspected him, why didn't they catch him?"
"Because someone helped him provide an alibi." Zhou Fengxu closed the report he had written and capped the paper with his pen. "The person who provided the alibi suddenly died of a heart attack on the street a few days later. Ma Zhengqi took the opportunity to sneak into the United States and has not returned to Hong Kong for ten years."
Seeing that the case was forced to be interrupted and stagnant again.
Several people were very angry.
"He ran away abroad?" Chu Yueqing could understand why Zhou Fengxu frowned. Things were indeed not easy to deal with. "Is there any other way to catch him?"
"The police have applied for cross-border cooperation. The United States is tracking down Ma Zhengqi's whereabouts. Once he is found, he will be sent back to Hong Kong immediately."
Team D is not satisfied with the current results.
Who doesn't know that there are many illegal immigrants in the United States? It is almost impossible to find a criminal without an ID card from hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants.
It is not known when Ma Zhengqi will be sent back.
It was almost time to get off work, and several people decided to go downstairs together. Chu Yueqing waited for them in the corridor first. She leaned against the wall and sipped milk tea.
Suddenly.
A little noise from the side attracted her attention.
A middle-aged couple came up the escalator at the end of the corridor.
Although they were middle-aged, the couple's hair had already turned completely white. The middle-aged man walked over slowly with his back hunched and his head lowered, and the woman followed slowly beside him.
They seemed to be separated from the world, the air was stagnant and depressed, and their expressions were numb, as if they were shrouded by bottomless sorrow.
Chu Yueqing felt uncomfortable watching them.
"Xingxi, what are you looking at?"
The four of them came out. Shi Boren saw Chu Yueqing staring at the corridor, and his eyes followed her. After seeing the faces of the middle-aged couple clearly, his pupils shrank sharply.
"Brother Xu, look."
Zhou Fengxu closed the office door and looked over. When he saw the people coming, his expression gradually turned serious.
When the couple arrived at the office door.
He took the initiative to speak: "Mr. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng."
"Is it Zhou Shazhan?" Mrs. Zheng asked. After getting a positive answer, she had red and swollen eyes and a hoarse voice, "I heard that Xinya's case was reopened. Can you... tell me, have you found the murderer?"
As if expecting an answer.
Mrs. Zheng's hands were shaking, as if she was trying to suppress her emotions.
"Sorry, the case is still under investigation, we can't reveal the news." Zhou Fengxu looked away and looked at Shi Boren, "Please Mr. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng go to rest."
"Oh, oh! OK." Shi Boren responded and opened the office door again, "Mrs. Zheng and Mr. Zheng, please come in and rest first. You must be tired on the way."
They all remembered that the Zheng family suffered a great blow. For the health and safety of the remaining two children, the Zheng family moved to the New Territories.
Mrs. Zheng shook her head, "We are not tired."
Thinking of her daughter who died tragically, Mrs. Zheng's eyes were red again. She hammered her stuffy chest, "We just think of eighteen years... eighteen years."
A heavy fist fell on her heart.
Mrs. Zheng was having trouble breathing and suddenly her emotions broke down. She leaned on her husband's shoulder and cried, "My daughter died tragically eighteen years ago, and her body is still warm. For these eighteen years, every time I close my eyes, I see the tragic scene of my daughter being killed."
The little girl's naked and blue body and her head lying on the trash can with her eyes open. The more
she thought about it,
the more Mrs. Zheng cried.
Her daughter was only eight years old. Which parent would feel good if she was tortured and killed at the age of eight?
For these eighteen years,
she had nightmares every night and experienced the despair of losing her daughter every night. What should she do to make the murderer of her daughter suffer the same retribution?
Shi Yubing heard the voice and faced Mrs. Zheng who was crying and gasping for breath, worried that something might happen. "Mrs. Zheng, the re-investigation of the old case means that the police have found new suspicious points. Don't worry, we will definitely bring the murderer to justice."
Mr. Zheng was in great pain and tightly grasped Shi Yubing's arm. When he saw his daughter being cut open, he knelt on the ground and held her head in his arms. Because of excessive grief, his hair turned white overnight.
"Madam, can the murderer still be caught?"
His voice trembled.
"After 18 years, can the murderer really be found?"
"Mr. Zheng, please believe the police." Shi Yubing comforted her family's emotions, but she was actually embarrassed.
As an inspector of Group D, she naturally knew that the biggest suspect had smuggled into the United States, but whether he was the real murderer remained to be verified.
Now, the suspect has not been found, and the facts of the crime are undetermined.
How should she respond to her family's questions?
Even she is not sure, after 18 years, can the real murderer really be caught?
Chu Yueqing leaned against the wall, drinking milk tea and listening quietly.
Suddenly.
She heard a plop.
A pair of knees knelt in front of her.
She let go of the straw.
Mrs. Zheng knelt down, she treated Chu Yueqing as a member of the serious crime team, "Madam, please help me, help me find the murderer who killed Xinya so that she can rest in peace in heaven, please."
As long as the murderer can be found.
She would pay anything, as long as the murderer could be found.
Bang, bang, bang.
Mr. Zheng also knelt down, and the overlapping kowtow sounds hit Chu Yueqing's heart again and again.
The people present reacted and rushed to help the person.
As soon as she was helped up, Mrs. Zheng fell into a coma due to emotional excitement.
Shi Yubing helped the person into the office and quickly called the doctor. After the chaos, everyone was in a heavy mood. Shi Boren hung his head and was no longer in the mood to joke.
The surroundings gradually calmed down.
Chu Yueqing stood up, glanced at the sky and said, "I've taken the order from the Zheng family."
Shi Boren wanted to ask something, but just as he opened his mouth,
he heard her say it again.
"This order is free."
