Chapter 4 Knocking on the Door



Someone's there!

There was no reply.

But Guan Feng could clearly hear the slight footsteps coming from inside the door.

He immediately gestured for everyone to concentrate.

Everyone's expressions turned serious.

Seeing this, Liu Cuiping calmed herself down and continued knocking on the door, saying, "Li Qiangwei, are you home? Open the door quickly, the downstairs neighbors have complained about you, and it's already been reported to our neighborhood committee. If you don't want to mediate, they might call the police!"

The footsteps stopped.

A male voice came from inside, protesting: "Call the police? I didn't do anything wrong, why should I call the police?"

Liu Cuiping took a deep breath, glanced around, and calmly said, "You're asking me? I'd like to ask you the same thing. We're all young people, where does this temper come from? You're calling the police over such a small thing. Do you think our grid workers have nothing better to do?"

"Tell me honestly, are you renting this house to several people? Didn't I tell you that these are extraordinary times, and we need to register and report any migrant workers?"

"Now look what's happened! You guys are making a racket all night, and people are complaining about you disturbing the peace. Otherwise, do you think I would have bothered coming all this way?"

Liu Cuiping put her hands on her hips and launched into a tirade, behaving much like a neighborhood committee auntie.

The man inside seemed to have been silenced.

A moment later.

Squeak!

The door was opened a crack.

"Don't move!"

"Don't move!"

Guan Feng, who had been waiting nearby, immediately rushed forward.

"What are you doing? Who are you? This is robbery! Help! I need to call the police! I need to call the police!"

Guan Feng immediately pinned the other person down.

Snap!

He pulled out his police badge, slapped it in front of the other person, and said, "Calling the police? We are the police. We strongly suspect you are involved in a criminal case. Please cooperate with our investigation!"

He then yelled at Li Xiangdong and Wang Xun, "Search them!"

"yes!"

"yes!"

The group immediately rushed inside.

"The east room is safe!"

Westinghouse is safe!

"The restroom is safe!"

“...”

Five minutes later.

No one else was found inside the house.

Guan Feng looked at Li Qiangwei and suggested, "Captain Zheng, time is of the essence, I think we should conduct the interrogation on the spot."

Zheng Yuandong patted Guan Feng on the shoulder and said, "You make the arrangements."

Guan Feng stopped being modest and called on Li Xiangdong and Wang Xun to conduct a joint interrogation.

He then whispered a few words to Liu Shengguo.

......

study.

A hastily put-together table.

Guan Feng, seated in the main seat, looked at Li Qiangwei and asked:

"Name, age, height, weight, place of origin..."

"Officer, have you arrested the wrong person? I'm a good person! I really am a good person!"

Li Xiangdong immediately frowned and said, "Who are you calling 'uncle'? Don't you have any sense?"

Guan Feng glared at Li Xiangdong.

Is now the time to focus on this?

He tapped the table, taking over the questioning, and looked at Li Qiangwei, saying, "Everyone we arrest says this first thing! We won't wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a guilty person slip through our fingers! Everything is based on evidence! Understand?"

Li Qiangwei said with a grin, "This uncle speaks so clearly and understandably!"

Guan Feng tapped the table and repeated the question:

"Name, age, height, weight, place of origin..."

"Li Qiangwei, 26 years old, 176 cm tall, 142 catties, is from Hongcheng."

Why did you go to the south of the city last night?

"South of the city?"

Li Qiangwei blinked and shook his head, saying, "I've never been there?"

Guan Feng pointed to the body camera and reminded him, "The body camera is on. If you give false testimony, and we find evidence that you went there, there won't be any room for leniency!"

Li Qiangwei glanced at the recorder, blinked again, and recalled, "I remember now, I think I was hungry last night, so I went over there for a late-night snack."

Li Xiangdong banged on the table and questioned, "This is the east side of the city. Do we have to go this far just to get a late-night snack? It takes at least half an hour to get there by bike from here, doesn't it?"

Li Qiangwei shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Seriously, officer? I like the duck blood vermicelli soup from that place in the south of the city, so what's wrong with that?"

Li Xiangdong said, "Sure, but which restaurant did you go to? We'll arrange for someone to check the surveillance footage immediately. Also, please make sure you paid in cash or online!"

Li Qiangwei said, "I paid in cash. That was a roadside stall, there were no security cameras, so you probably won't find anything."

Li Xiangdong said, "You only need to provide the shop address."

Li Qiangwei gave an address.

Li Xiangdong then asked, "Where did you go three days ago, at three o'clock in the morning?"

"Three days ago? Let me think... I think I went to the north of the city?"

What do you mean by "seems like"?

"Yes! I went to the north of the city!"

"Going to the north of the city at three in the morning? Are you telling me you're hungry too?"

"Uncle Policeman, don't scare me! There are plenty of mass graves in the north of the city. Do you think I'd go there to find food? That's practically suicide!"

Guan Feng's expression darkened as he looked at Li Qiangwei's grinning face. He frowned and said, "You really won't admit it until you're faced with a real problem! Speak properly, what were you doing in the north of the city?"

"Cough cough!"

Li Qiangwei glanced at Guan Feng's appearance, coughed twice, and said awkwardly, "I remember now. I originally planned to go fishing in the north of the city that day. I wanted to go to a pond at night to reserve a spot, but when I got there, it didn't look like there were any fish, so I came back."

Guan Feng then asked, "What time did you go? What time did you come back? And who did you meet in between?"
