On the other side.
Zhao Dong and the others dared not be negligent in the slightest.
Almost the instant Guan Feng entered the rear cabin, they quickly made their way along the side of the ship to the bridge.
I thought it would be a life-or-death struggle.
Zhao Dong was even prepared to fire his gun.
Surprisingly!
The driver, Zhou Yang, did not put up much resistance and was even somewhat bewildered by everything. He surrendered and waited to be captured by the men.
"What are you doing?"
Zhou Yang posed a thought-provoking question.
Zhao Dong said, "We are police officers, and we are here mainly to investigate Xia Ping! If you are not involved in much of this, then cooperate with our investigation. Once we have found out the truth, we will let you go."
Zhou Yang said, "Okay, okay."
Seeing this, Zhao Dong told Zhao Yang to restrain him, then waved to the patrol boat not far away, signaling Liu Shengguo and the other man to come over, and said to Zhao Yang, "Keep an eye on him, I'm going to check on Xiao Guan's situation!"
I jogged all the way to the rear cabin.
Zhao Dong saw Xia Ping standing there handcuffed, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. His tense mood subconsciously eased, and he couldn't help but smile, saying, "Xiao Guan, you're still as reliable as ever when you get things done!"
Guan Feng reminded him, "Captain, search the room first to see if there's anyone else there!"
Zhao Dong said, "Okay! The ship will dock directly at the shore in a bit! It won't pass through the locks, and the technical department will board to search."
Guan Feng nodded.
......
Ten minutes later.
The ship docked.
Technical personnel arrived.
Chen Ke led the team's technicians aboard the ship.
They began inspecting every corner, including the bedroom and kitchen.
Zhao Dong instructed them to complete the tests as soon as possible, while two police officers remained on duty.
He then took Xia Ping and the other person to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
......
Municipal Bureau.
Interrogation room.
Several interrogations were conducted simultaneously.
Of course, the majority of the profits still go to Xia Ping's side.
Zhao Dong sat in the main seat.
Guan Feng and Huang Lili stood on the left and right respectively.
Outside the interrogation room's glass window.
Chen Guoqiang and Director Zhang of the Development Zone also stood and listened to the results.
Zhao Dongchong said to Guan Feng, "Little Guan, you can start asking questions."
Guan Feng nodded, cleared his throat twice, and asked seriously, "Name? Age? Place of origin?"
Xia Ping replied, "My name is Xia Ping, I am 38 years old, I am from Hua'an, and I live in Hongxiang Village in the development zone."
Guan Feng asked, "Under the main canal bridge?"
Xia Ping nodded and said, "Yes, over there! Officer, what's going on? You must bring me back. I'm a good person, a really good person. I've never even dared to kill a fish in my entire life! Is there some misunderstanding?"
Guan Feng asked, "Really? You've never even dared to kill a fish in your entire life? Yet you would kill Chen Qian?"
Xia Ping's expression changed slightly, his pupils dilated instantly, and he quickly tried to cover it up by asking, "Chen... Chen Qian? I don't know her?"
Guan Feng said, "You don't recognize me? We've already detected your DNA fingerprints in the victim's body. Every action leaves a trace. The technical department is currently testing the samples and will soon find new clues! Just the fact that you've concealed this makes you a prime suspect!"
Xia Ping's expression changed again, and he shook his head, saying, "Even if Chen Qian stayed on my ship, that doesn't prove that I killed her, does it?"
Guan Feng asked, "So you're admitting you two know each other now?"
Xia Ping said, "Yes, we do know each other!"
Guan Feng then asked, "Since you know each other, could you explain why your DNA is on the other person's body?"
Xia Ping asked, "My DNA? That can't be, can it?"
Guan Feng said, "The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied. You need to explain clearly what happened between you and Chen Qian."
Xia Ping then began to confess.
Ten minutes later.
A version similar to the one from the survey of several people has been released.
The only difference is that Xia Ping doesn't admit to killing Chen Qian. Instead, he claims that the two had an argument, which escalated into a physical fight, and Chen Qian stormed off and disappeared.
Guan Feng asked, "When did Chen Qian leave?"
Xia Ping said, "About three months ago."
Guan Feng reminded him, "Didn't you just say that although you two had a fight, you had a good relationship and had been in contact recently, and that you would never kill her?"
Xia Ping said, "Isn't this done through the internet?"
Guan Feng asked, "What software?"
Xia Ping replied without batting an eye, "Prestige."
Guan Feng asked, "Where's the phone? We need to check the records!"
Xia Ping shook his head and said, "I've deleted them all. I don't like going back to an old flame. Since we've broken up, let's break up completely. How could she possibly come back?"
Guan Feng slammed his hand on the table, his voice growing colder as he said, "Xia Ping! Chen Qian died three months ago. You contacted her? How did you contact her? Let me tell you, you don't have a record, no problem! We can contact WeChat and retrieve the chat history! Let's see if what you're saying is true! Do you want us to do that?"
Xia Ping hesitated and said, "I... I might have remembered it wrong!"
Guan Feng raised his voice and said, "You didn't misremember! You deliberately hid it! Zhou Zhong, that's your real name, am I right?"
Xia Ping's expression changed immediately: "Zhou... Zhou Zhong?"
Guan Feng said, "What? You've been Xia Ping for three years, you haven't really forgotten your own name, have you?"
Xia Ping shook his head and said, "I...I don't know what you're talking about!"
Guan Feng then reminded him: "Three years ago, you set fire to the body and fabricated the scene, leading the police to believe that the deceased was Xia Ping, simply because he was the biological father of the child! But you never expected that justice would prevail, and a case three years later would bring the truth to light!"
Xia Ping's face showed some struggle and hesitation. He shook his head repeatedly and said, "No! No! What you're saying isn't true!"
Guan Feng warned, "Xia Ping! You're beyond saving, but don't hold others back! You still have an elderly mother and a sister. To tell you the truth, your sister has also been brought back for investigation in the next room."
“We have clear evidence of your one-sided contact with her over the years, but do you think she might deliberately cover it up for you, her brother?”
"You're a murderer! A serious criminal! Do I need to explain her responsibility for protecting you? You're a dutiful son in the village, how could you bear to watch your mother be left without anyone to care for her?"
As Guan Feng's poignant questions came to his head, Xia Ping's expression became one of utter struggle.
He held his head, frozen in place, seemingly in pain.
Guan Feng and the others patiently waited for the other party to ease the tension.
A moment later.
Xia Ping's expression returned to calm.
He struggled to look at the group and asked, "I...I want to see my sister, is that alright?"
