Chapter 202 Police Officer's Suspect
Hungry, thirsty, tired, headache... these were the messages that Lin Zhi felt his body convey when he was not yet fully awake.
It's like the tension after a huge emotional fluctuation, and the vigilance and panic when being in an uneasy state.
Lin Zhi opened his eyes and saw the almost glaring light of the incandescent lamp.
I was in a space so cramped that it seemed impossible to breathe, and there were double images in front of my eyes.
A shadow suddenly appeared above my head. The tall man had a stern expression, which reminded people of the ferocious beasts on the polar ice field.
Because they were too close, Lin Zhi could see the scar on his left eyebrow, making him look like his eyebrow was broken.
"Tell me, why did you kill him?"
Lin Zhi blinked slowly, sensing that the situation was not good.
Only then did he realize that he was sitting in the interrogation chair with handcuffs on his hands.
He did not receive the memory, so he did not answer rashly. He just leaned back in the chair and closed his eyes to avoid the man's gaze.
【01. Give me the original owner’s memory first. 】
01: [Received, passing on immediately! 】
Lin Zhi's reaction was clearly an escape in the eyes of others, and another police officer slammed the table.
"Don't think you can get away with it like this, that's a life!"
It was very noisy. Lin Zhi frowned and felt annoyed.
No... Lin Zhi took a deep breath and pinched his palms to keep himself calm. This was not his emotional control. Something was disturbing him.
The man standing in front of Lin Zhi glanced at the suspect's face and felt a subtle sense of disobedience.
During the forty hours of interrogation, the young man was panicked and angry, continued to deny the fact that he had killed anyone, and even frantically tried to break free from his restraints and stand up, almost having a hysterical emotional breakdown.
But the murderer has always been very cunning and good at acting. Sometimes he can even deceive himself. It is impossible for him to be soft-hearted.
Judging from the evidence, he was indeed the most suspicious, but just now, after he asked the question, this person's reactions began to become strange.
If it wasn't right under his nose, he would have thought it was a different person.
Even with his eyes closed, Lin Zhi could still feel the oppression of being stared at.
Lin Zhi tried his best to suppress his body's instinctive urge to hold on to the chair to relieve the tension. This was contrary to his habit of not liking to reveal his emotions, and he soon found out the reason.
The original owner was a third-rate novelist who lived alone. He used to be the principal violinist in an orchestra. With this position, he should have had a bright future, but his mental state was not stable. He showed signs of this symptom in his childhood, which was similar to bipolar disorder. If things didn't go his way, he would become even more neurotic.
Because there was a new violinist in the orchestra who was capable of competing with him, the original owner lost control and started a fight under the provocation of the other party, and was eventually persuaded to leave the orchestra.
The original owner did not want to play the violin anymore because he felt ashamed. He moved out of his original city, bought a house and stayed indoors. During this time, he became addicted to reading novels, especially criminal investigation, mystery and suspense novels. After reading so many of them, he wanted to write his own.
His writing skills were not very good, but fortunately the stories he wrote were quite interesting to read. He published two novels and gained some fame, but editors thought that his subsequent works did not meet the publishing standards.
After being rejected for several stories in a row, the original owner's spirit had been stretched to the limit, and even medicine could not suppress it. When the wine at home was finished, he went out to buy some wine.
There is a shortcut from the convenience store to where he lives, which is an alley.
In the original owner's memory, he walked along that road while drinking and carrying a bag of beer, and then went home.
Yesterday, he was awakened by a knock on the door, then handcuffed and taken to the police station interrogation room.
It turned out that yesterday morning, a middle school student who took a shortcut to school found a body there.
According to forensic speculation, the man died between nine and ten o'clock in the evening. The original owner happened to pass by to buy wine at that time, and the cameras in front and behind the alley captured him entering and leaving.
The original owner naturally denied things he did not do. When the police mentioned that there were footprints of the original owner on the body of the deceased, the original owner's mind went blank for a few moments.
His mental state was not good to begin with, and he had been drinking, so he had no memory of what he had done.
The police showed him the photos, which had very obvious and messy footprints on them. Even the deceased had such kicking marks on his body, which showed that the original owner had kicked him more than once and with considerable force.
The surveillance time also proves that the original owner stayed in the alley for a while, which contradicts what the original owner said before that he knew nothing and did nothing and went home directly.
The original owner had been here for a long time. Because he lived alone and had no friends, there was no one to help him. He could only go back after the 48-hour detention was over and the police had no new evidence.
Lin Zhi pressed the swollen and painful Taiyang xue. The original owner had poor emotional control ability. It was not a personality issue but a mental illness. No wonder it had some impact on him.
He searched the original owner's memory, but the original owner really didn't remember what happened during that period.
But the original owner had read a lot of novels and wrote novels himself, so he knew that he couldn't just make up his mind about a crime, so he always denied that he had killed anyone.
The police tried again and again to get some information out of him, but he knew nothing and naturally could not say anything.
Lin Zhi thought that this matter might not be that simple.
He did not know the deceased and had no dispute with him. Although the murder weapon was at the scene, there were no fingerprints on it. The evidence was insufficient to establish a motive for murder, so there was no need for the police to keep chasing him.
Judging from the situation, he was just a drunkard who might have tripped over the corpse in the alley, so he kicked it a few times out of anger and left.
Unless, the police found no other clues, so he became the first suspect in the case.
Lin Zhi blinked his dry eyes. The police didn't let the original owner sleep well, and the original owner didn't eat anything, so his condition was so bad.
The man was still looking at him. He was a very perceptive person. Lin Zhi made a judgment in his heart.
"What did you see when you passed that alley at 9pm on the 14th?"
"I didn't see anything. I was drinking and just wanted to take the wine home quickly."
"You stayed in the alley for at least seven minutes, and it only took less than two minutes to cross the alley."
"Maybe I'm drunk, so I'm just staying where I am."
"There are also your footprints on the body of the deceased. Do you really have no impression of it at all?"
"No."
The man sat back in his chair and stared at him coldly.
That kind of look is frightening, even depressing.
Lin Zhi looked at each other calmly and scanned the decoration in the interrogation room.
Similar to the era he was in before, Lin Zhi learned from his memory that this was the year 2018 of this era.
There was a sign posted in front of the table opposite him that read, 'I have read the above transcript and it is consistent with what I said.'
Because the man was staring at him, Lin Zhi's attention was on him again.
The man was good-looking, at least 1.85 meters tall, with broad shoulders, long legs, and tight muscles. His eyes and brows were rather fierce, giving him a strong beast-like aggression, like a falcon that would never let go of its prey once it had bitten it.
It makes people feel very good, so even though 01 hasn't transmitted the information yet, based on this feeling and bond, Lin Zhi thinks he should be his old lover.
If I guessed wrong, it might be that he was tempted by something else, but the chances of that happening are slim.
【01. Give me the information. 】
01: [Okay! 】
Lin Zhi's target of this mission is called Qiu Huo.
He was born into a police family and was raised by a nanny. When he was six years old, his mother died while catching a criminal, and the criminal escaped.
The father's condition was not good, so he was transferred by his superior so that he could spend more time with his children. When Qiu Huo was nine years old, the criminal who killed his mother committed a crime again. Qiu Huo's father applied to participate in the arrest, and his superior agreed because of his persistence.
The operation was successful, the criminals were caught, and Qiu Huo's father was relieved and worked peacefully in his clerical job.
This should have been the case, but the police didn't know that the criminal had a younger brother, who was planning to avenge his boss. He had a grudge against the captured criminal's father, and after following him for many days, he sneaked into his house.
The nanny was stabbed in order to protect Qiu Huo, and Qiu Huo's father was also seriously injured and unconscious. When a neighbor knocked on the door, the man immediately ran away.
Qiu Huo's father died in the emergency room, and the nanny was forcibly taken away by his children because of this incident. Qiu Huo became an orphan and was sent to his grandmother's home to be raised.
The criminal who killed Qiu Huo's father is still at large. When Qiu Huo grew up, he still chose to become a policeman, not only because of the influence of his parents, but also to find that person.
As Lin Zhi expected, the man sitting not far from him and interrogating him was Qiu Huo.
