Nothing more!
The figure looked very much like the woman they had seen on the surveillance footage.
Guan Feng is particularly skilled in micro-expression analysis and can also recognize details on the human face. Although it was nighttime, he recorded the relevant details. Unless the other party is a twin, Guan Feng would never mistake them.
He gave Huang Lili a subtle wink.
Huang Lili immediately understood, turned on the recorder, and took out paper and pen, preparing to record the conversation in a serious manner.
Guan Feng asked, "Name, age, place of origin?"
The woman asked, somewhat surprised, "Is it that serious?"
Guan Feng stared at the woman's expression and reminded her, "You may not know this, but a murder has occurred, and we can't afford to be careless!"
The woman's expression turned somewhat surprised, but then an unexpected scene unfolded. As if to show her astonishment, the woman's surprise lasted for a long time, as if she was deliberately trying to show her disbelief.
"A murder? How could that be? In our bar? No way? Sister Hong didn't tell us! What happened?"
Guan Feng looked at the other person's expression and said calmly, "This just happened, and Sister Hong doesn't know about it either. We're here to ask you for some information."
"All right."
The woman sighed and nodded, saying, "It's really sad that something like this happened. Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Yan, I'm 26 years old, and I'm a local from Hua'an."
Guan Feng nodded and asked, "Do you recognize this person in the photo?"
He then slapped a picture of Schulmer in front of the other person.
The woman's face showed a momentary panic upon seeing the photo, which quickly vanished. She then calmly picked up the photo, examined it carefully for a moment, and then, as if recalling something, asked in surprise, "This person looks like a customer from the bar?"
Guan Feng looked at the woman and asked, "Continue! What other information do you know about him?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I only know that he is a regular at the bar. I often see him. By the way, he always sits in the same spot, so basically everyone who has been to the bar a few times will remember him, and we are no exception."
Seemingly wanting to clear herself of suspicion, the woman subtly steered the situation in another direction.
Guan Feng asked, "To your knowledge, among you women, who is he most familiar with?"
After thinking about it seriously, the woman shook her head: "Probably not? He comes to the bar to eat something and drink a bottle of beer, he doesn't talk to anyone much."
Guan Feng said, "I need to remind you that this is a criminal case. If you deliberately conceal or even cover it up, you will bear legal responsibility."
A flicker of panic crossed the woman's face again, but she still insisted, "I really don't know. Why don't you... ask someone else?"
Seeing this, Guan Feng stopped arguing and directly zoomed in on the relevant surveillance footage, placing it in front of the woman and saying, "Since you say you don't know, how do you explain this matter?"
The woman looked at the screen and was shocked to see the scene from two nights ago, when she stood in front of Schulmer to protect him.
She looked at Guan Feng with some surprise and asked, "You...you guys..."
Guan Feng said calmly, "Isn't that a bit surprising?"
The woman's expression became unnatural.
Guan Feng said in a serious tone, "If we didn't have evidence, we wouldn't be randomly questioning people. Your attitude just now has put you in a disadvantageous position. So, tell us, are you going to confess yourself, or are we going to take you away?"
The woman glanced at Guan Feng, then at Huang Lili, and finally her gaze settled on the body camera on Huang Lili's shoulder. The flashing red light on it gradually enlarged and changed in her eyes.
"I...I confess."
The woman hesitated before speaking.
Guan Feng nodded, signaling the other person to continue.
The woman said, "That night, my ex-boyfriend saw me walking with Schulmer and came over to cause trouble. I was afraid of causing trouble for the bar, so I stopped him from causing any trouble."
Guan Feng asked, "Ex-boyfriend?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes! My ex-boyfriend! We broke up three months ago, and all my girlfriends know about it. So when he came over that night, he was just drunk and causing trouble, and I was in a very passive position."
Guan Feng asked, "And then? Where did you go?"
The woman said, "Later, I... I took Schulmer home, and then I explained everything to Zhao Feng, so this matter is really over. What happened? Is the case related to this? That can't be, can it?"
Guan Feng asked, "Do you know about Schulmer's current situation?"
The woman shook her head and said, "What happened to him? Wait! You were just talking about a murder case, could it be Schulmo???"
Guan Feng nodded.
The woman covered her mouth, somewhat incredulous.
This surprise was fleeting.
Guan Feng asked, "Judging from your expression, you seem surprised?"
The woman nodded and said, "Yes, we were drinking together the night before last, and I even took him home. At that time..."
Guan Feng asked, "What happened back then?"
The woman said, "We just...we did some things that are typical of men and women. The atmosphere was a bit somber, and I didn't expect it to turn out so badly. After we went to his villa, I had some dark beer with him, and then inexplicably..."
Guan Feng asked, "Then why did you hide the fact that you knew Schulmo just now?"
The woman's eyes darted away again.
Seeing this, Guan Feng stopped talking and stood up, saying, "It seems we still need to go back to the station with us."
The woman's expression changed completely.
She shook her head and said, "No! Really, no!"
Guan Feng, however, said without further ado, "We've given you several chances, but you haven't cherished them. You either remain silent or evade the issue. You've lost our trust. Lily, contact the team and have them come and take the person back."
Huang Lili nodded and said, "Okay."
Next.
Zhao Yang brought Qi Xia to the bar and, in front of everyone, took Chen Yan into the police car.
The impact of this is beyond words.
That's exactly the effect Guan Feng wanted!
He asked Huang Lili to notify the remaining bar girls to come in and come back.
This time, the bar girls were more obedient than mice in front of a cat. As soon as Guan Feng started, they were able to reveal all the subsequent results at once.
Guan Feng also learned from this that Shulmo and Chen Yan had a close relationship.
The two were far closer than Chen Yan described.
One of the bar girls said, "Well, I saw Chen Yan taking Shulmo home at least three months ago."
Guan Feng asked, "And then what happened?"
The bar girl said, "I don't know about that, but when Chen Yan came to work the next day, her walking posture was wrong. We even joked that foreigners are stronger than Chinese men. Her reaction at the time, grinning, must have been something like that!"
Guan Feng, recalling what Chen Yan had told him, asked, "Three months ago? Did she break up with her boyfriend then?"
"separate?"
The bar girl asked in surprise, "You're asking which boyfriend she has?"
Upon hearing this, Guan Feng knew that Chen Yan's story was probably complicated, so he said to the one in the surveillance footage: "The one wearing glasses."
The woman, who was essentially a bar scammer, sneered, "Break up? You're still living together, how could you break up?"
Guan Feng frowned.
