Chapter 203 Police Officer's Suspect
Lin Zhi didn't look up at Qiu Huo, listening to the voice of 01 in his mind.
01: [The subject of this mission suffers from a condition similar to a sleep disorder. 】
Qiu Huo witnessed his father being murdered when he was young, and the murderer gave him a threatening look before escaping.
Over the years, he has never been spared by the murderer, and the murderer has never found a chance to kill him, but since he was nine years old, Qiu Huo always received a bouquet of white flowers on his birthday every year.
That bouquet of flowers may appear in the mailbox at the door of his grandmother's house, or on his desk at school, and it continues to this day.
Qiu Huo is twenty-six years old this year, and he has been doing this for seventeen years.
This seemed to have become a nightmare that Qiu Huo could not get rid of, and a silent provocation from the murderer. Qiu Huo had difficulty falling asleep and was occasionally on the verge of mania, but he took advantage of this after work. He could investigate cases and track down murderers without sleep, so he was promoted very quickly and now he has become the captain of the second detachment of the Runing City Criminal Investigation Brigade.
01 said with full energy: [Come on, host! I believe you can do it! 】
This time, 01 did not shout slogans, because it also felt it was a bit tricky, but it believed that this would not be a problem for the host. The feelings of those fused designers would definitely make things better.
01: [By the way, host, the function unlocked in this world is physical strength recovery! 】
Lin Zhi: [Hmm? 】
Lin Zhi could understand the meaning of this function literally, but he couldn't fully understand why he was given this benefit?
Could it be that in this world his physical strength would be depleted very quickly?
Lin Zhi looked down at her hands, which were so pale that she could see the blue veins beneath the thin skin, and felt that it seemed understandable.
This body is a little thin. The original owner's long-term life of staying at home, taking medicine and drinking has made his body far from meeting the standard of health.
Considering the identity, this world may be dangerous, so this function is understandable.
01: [Just like the little characters in the game have a stamina bar, you can replenish it when it is consumed. However, the value is unclear, and I can't analyze the program. The host will have to experiment with the recovery speed by himself. 】
Lin Zhi understood and stopped communicating with 01.
Another police officer asked him questions out of the blue, which were actually the same questions over and over again.
In fact, interrogation is a boring and challenging process that requires patience. When faced with questioning, Lin Zhi still gave unclear answers.
"Officer, can I have a glass of water?"
Lin Zhi looked at Qiu Huo, his voice slightly hoarse due to thirst.
He licked his lips which were slightly chapped due to dryness. Sitting for a long time made every part of his body wail with discomfort.
Qiu Huo raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhou Erhe beside him.
Zhou Erhe understood and went out to pour water for the man. After all, this was still an interrogation and the man just wanted to detain a suspect. Even if the person being detained was the murderer, this request could still be met.
However, he was a little surprised that this man actually asked the boss. You know, most suspects would be afraid of the boss. He asked for water so calmly, which was completely different from the one who was about to go crazy before.
Qiu Huo was also very confused. He put his hands on the table and looked at Lin Zhi, as if he wanted to stare a hole in him.
The pale-skinned young man looked like a ghost under the light. The cyan color of his eyes, which had not been well rested, did not detract from the beauty of his skin. The eyes that looked at him were deep, and the naturally upturned corners of his lips made him look like he was smiling, but a closer look showed that this was not the case.
Zhou Erhe poured a glass of water in a paper cup and placed it on the interrogation chair.
Lin Zhi thanked him out of habit, picked up the water cup with both hands, and the iron chain of the handcuffs shook and made a sound.
Qiu Huo whispered a few words to Zhou Erhe, walked out of the interrogation room, and turned into the next room.
The computer showed the scene from next door. There were two people sitting inside watching the surveillance footage. When they saw Qiu Huo coming in, they greeted him.
Qiu Huo lit a cigarette, and the other two were also heavy smokers so they didn't mind. After all, handling cases was tiring and sometimes one had to smoke to stay alert.
Zhu Changdong: "Boss, how is it, did you feel anything?"
Qiu Huo exhaled a smoke ring, tasting the nicotine on his tongue, and uttered two words: "There is a ghost."
"Show me his information again."
Zhu Changdong handed the investigation folder to Qiu Huo, who flipped through it twice and asked, "Can a mental illness change a person's personality completely?"
Wei Yunjun, who was sitting next to him, had taken relevant courses in college. He said, "I've read his information. His disease makes his emotions unstable. Theoretically, there is no possibility of dual personality. However, he is easily irritable and angry, so he may be two different people when he loses control and when he is calm."
Sitting in front of the computer, they could only sense that the suspect had gone from collapse to tired and calm, but they did not sense that his personality had changed.
Qiu Huo frowned slightly, smoked in silence for a while, and then crushed the cigarette in the ashtray.
It was different. It wasn't that kind of emotional ups and downs. He clearly saw something different in that person's eyes. It was like he had completely become a different person.
Qiu Huo joined the police force for an internship after graduation. Over the years, he has arrested many suspects and has handled several major cross-border arrests. He is not 100% accurate in judging people, but 90% of the time he is right. He has a very obvious perception of people's emotions, so he can feel the changes in suspects.
Just by looking up, the fear disappeared from his body. It was not the calmness that came from knowing that he had not committed any crime, but the true emotion hidden in it. Even if ordinary people had not done anything wrong, they would have self-doubt under constant questioning, and good citizens with no criminal record would have a natural fear of the police.
Zhu Changdong asked: "When the time is up, will you just let him go?"
"put."
"But boss, don't you say there's a ghost?"
"Not that aspect. Have you found any more clues about the deceased?"
Zhu Changdong wondered what it was and said, "I've called his hometown to ask, but there's no clue."
Wei Yunjun looked at the young man on the screen who had finished drinking a glass of water and calmed down, and said, "This case is really weird."
Based on clues and experience, as well as surveillance around the suspect's residence and testing of the suspect's body alcohol concentration, they could have cleared this person of suspicion, but apart from this person, they could not find any relevant clues.
That alley was originally very dark and had security problems there in the past, so basically no one would pass through there at night. As a result, apart from the suspect, the only thing captured by the surveillance camera was the middle school student early the next morning.
The deceased was named Yue Jixiang, male, 23 years old, a migrant worker, a cement worker in a renovation project. He seldom interacted with others. His coworkers also said that he was an honest and dull person who had never had conflicts with others.
That road was a shortcut for him to return to his rental house, and it was also the only way for him to go home. He was stabbed three times in the body, forming an inverted triangle. The fatal wound was the wound at the sharp corner, which caused heavy bleeding.
The three knife strikes were very steady, not with the accuracy of a drunk person. Moreover, as a young man, Yue Jixiang could not be sure who would fall when facing the suspect.
They kept questioning him in order to get more clues. If this was a premeditated crime, then given the time and place, this young man might know something.
In the interrogation room, Zhou Erhe asked: "What did you do during the seven minutes you were in the alley?"
"I really don't remember."
"You kicked the deceased. Was he still alive when you kicked him? Did he ask you for help?"
"I have no idea."
"Did you see anyone else passing through that alley? Did you hear any special noises?"
"I have no idea."
Lin Zhi unconsciously clenched his hands on the interrogation chair into fists. The pain in his nerves made him feel very uncomfortable. He tried his best to suppress his anger, but his eyes still revealed a cold look.
The brain seems unable to bear too much information and subconsciously resists when it receives information it doesn't like.
Lin Zhi really couldn't find anything about the night of the 14th in his memory. In those fragments of memory, there were only overwhelming negative emotions, manuscripts that were rejected once again, documents that were deleted and restored, outlines that were swept to the ground, and manuscripts that were flying around and soaked in beer.
The pills swallowed with the alcohol, the irritating weather, the "beep" sound when scanning the payment code at the convenience store, the long alley seemed no different from before, there was no sound and no one in my memory.
But the police compared the shoe prints and found that the footprints on the victim were indeed the same as the shoes the original owner wore when he went out that night.
His memory deceived him, Lin Zhi thought. The brain hid a lot of things. Even the original owner himself didn't know what he saw in those seven minutes at night. He was also curious.
Qiu Huo looked at the young man on the computer screen and thought that he was really different, but no one seemed to feel the difference. If it was the same person from before, he would have stood up excitedly and shouted in response by now, instead of looking calm but slightly out of control.
When the forty-eight hours were up, Lin Zhi signed the transcript, was uncuffed, taken out of the room, and went through the formalities.
Wei Yunjun said: "Please do not leave the city recently. If there is any situation, please report it. If you suddenly lose contact, you may be wanted. Please cooperate with us."
Lin Zhi took out his cell phone and saved her phone number in it.
Before leaving the police station, Lin Zhi saw Qiu Huo smoking in the office.
He stood there, wearing a black T-shirt that outlined his body lines. He looked like a silent and towering peak, looking at him through the transparent glass.
Lin Zhi knocked on the door, looked up at him and said, "Officer, my phone is turned off and I don't have money to take a taxi home. Can you give me a ride?"
The young man had a smile on his face, his beautifully shaped eyes gave people a soft and innocent feeling, his slightly long hair made him look even more decadent, and considering his unstable mental state, he looked even more neurotic and weird.
Qiu Huo narrowed his eyes, took a deep puff of his cigarette, put it out, grabbed his large coat and put it on, then picked up the key.
Lin Zhi followed him in a slightly strange manner. If he had not seen it wrong just now, was his lover's bottom a little erect?
The main reason is that the place was originally very conspicuous, and it became even more conspicuous after some changes.
But Qiu Huo's expression was calm, and his body was covered by his clothes, so Lin Zhi had no way to track him.
He didn't think he was that attractive, so it was just strange.
Qiu Huo was driving his own car and opened a bottle of mineral water to drink after getting in.
He knew that he had always had a lot of energy, and after entering sexual maturity, his needs became extremely high. He had to take cold showers for a long time every night, or vent it out through training. He also had to stay in the bathroom for an hour every morning before going out to work. Sometimes the accumulated energy after being busy for several days made him very annoyed.
This kind of thing was meaningless to him, it was just a mechanical pleasure. He had no intention of looking for anyone, nor had he done anything to anyone casually. Who knew what was wrong with him now.
After the young man next to him fastened his seat belt, Qiu Huo stepped on the accelerator.
He was the one who brought people to handcuff the man that day, so he naturally knew where the man lived.
However, the car was not parked at the entrance of Linzhi Community, but in the parking area in front of the convenience store, not far away from the alley where the person died.
"get off."
Qiu Huo pulled out the key and asked Lin Zhi to come down.
Lin Zhi opened the car door and followed the man to the entrance of the convenience store.
"You bought a bag of beer here that day, opened a bottle and drank it while walking forward."
"right."
Lin Zhi walked towards the deep alley according to the route he remembered.
This long alley is located between two building complexes. Its shadows almost block out the light, and even in the daytime, it seems as if there is no end in sight.
