Zhang Changhe's home.
Judging from the building's exterior, it is clearly much worse than Zhang Huafeng's house.
Zhang Huafeng's house is a three-story villa with a large dragon-carved pillar at the front gate and stone lions at the entrance. Behind it is a row of separate cattle sheds with sheds, while Zhang Changhe's house is just a simple two-story building with a courtyard for raising livestock.
When Guan Feng and the others arrived, Zhang Changhe was busy feeding the cattle in the backyard.
Director Zhang waved and called out from across the fence, "Old Zhang, hold on a minute, the police officer is coming over to ask you something."
While forking hay with a pitchfork, Zhang Changhe turned around impatiently and asked, "What is it? Didn't I ask last time? Why are you asking again? I don't have time, the cows haven't been fed yet."
Guan Feng frowned and said, "This involves a criminal case. If you don't have time to answer at home, then come back to the station with us for questioning."
Zhang Changhe immediately glared at him and said, "What do you mean? Why are you so hot-tempered, young man? Do you think you're so great just because you're a police officer? Do you think you can just arrest people like that?"
Upon seeing this, Li Xiangdong immediately stepped forward, showed his identification, and said, "Zhang Changhe, don't talk nonsense. We all have body cameras on. Now, Zhang Huafeng's cow has caused food poisoning in more than 100 people. This is a serious criminal case. After investigation, we suspect that you are a major suspect. Therefore, it is reasonable to bring you back to the station for investigation."
Seeing Li Xiangdong's tall and imposing figure, Zhang Changhe felt a slight unease, but still forced himself to ask, "Didn't we ask last time? I didn't have the time to commit the crime. Yes, it was Officer Liang behind you who asked!"
The older officer glanced at Guan Feng somewhat awkwardly, then stepped forward, his face darkening, and said, "Zhang Changhe, don't mess around! These are officers from the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Major Crimes Unit, they're different from us. You should cooperate with the investigation."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Changhe glanced at Guan Feng and the others, noticing that their demeanor was somewhat different.
He put down his fork, reluctantly walked up to the group, and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Guan Feng stared at Zhang Changhe and asked bluntly, "Zhang Changhe, did you poison Zhang Huafeng's cow?"
Zhang Changhe immediately shook his head like a rattle-drum, saying, "How could that be? How could I do such a thing? A cow is worth tens of thousands of yuan. If I get caught, I'll be locked up for life!"
Guan Feng then asked, "Where's his Blackie? You mean that big wolfhound?"
Zhang Changhe looked somewhat evasive and shook his head, saying, "No, no!"
"lie!"
Guan Feng immediately denied it and looked at Li Xiangdong, saying, "Take the person back!"
Zhang Changhe quickly stopped Li Xiangdong, who was approaching, and said, "No! No! I didn't lie! I didn't lie!"
Guan Feng asked again, "Then I'll ask you one more time, did you poison Hei Zi?"
Zhang Changhe swallowed hard, wanting to hide the truth, but looking into Guan Feng's sharp eyes, which seemed to pierce right through him, he dared not conceal it any longer and said, "Yes, I poisoned him! I... I was just so angry! My daughter's engagement was broken off, how is she going to get married in the future? What's wrong with me poisoning his dog? It's too easy for him!"
Guan Feng said, "Let's not talk about the engagement for now, as that's a private matter. Moreover, such an old-fashioned agreement has no legal effect. But if you poison someone else's dog, that's an illegal act. The two shouldn't be confused."
Zhang Changhe said, "I...I understand. At worst, I'll just compensate him with a dog."
With the poisoning case in the past, Guan Feng didn't have time to deal with these minor details. He looked at Zhang Changhe and said, "Call your wife and children back now. I need to ask them about the situation."
Zhang Changhe immediately made a phone call.
When the group returned, Zhang Changhe asked Guan Feng, "Officer, how did you know I poisoned the dog? I... I didn't admit to it!"
Before Guan Feng could speak, Li Xiangdong said directly, "What do you know? Captain Guan is one of the top micro-expression analysis experts in the department. Let me put it this way, there are only one or two people like him in the entire Jiangnan Province. He can tell at a glance which of your words are true and which are false."
Zhang Changhe was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and asked, "That amazing?"
Li Xiangdong said, "Otherwise what?"
Zhang Changhe said sheepishly, "Then I dare not hide it!"
Then, as if remembering something, he chuckled and said, "That's good! I didn't poison his cow. Your Captain Guan is so capable, he should be able to tell, right? I'm tired of being pointed at and talked about for this these past few days!"
"Officer, I'm not lying. I raise cattle, and I know the value of a cow. Three cows? That would mean I'd be in jail for several years!"
Looking at the other person's expression, Guan Feng said, "You can rest assured about that. We will not wrong an innocent person, nor will we let a bad person go free."
Zhang Changhe breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
The two officers, who had been silent until now, were also impressed by what they saw.
"Captain Guan, I had only heard about it before, but this time I witnessed it firsthand. I never expected that you could actually tell the difference between truth and falsehood on the spot!"
"I, Lao Liang, was thinking about whether I could apply to join the Major Crimes Unit, but after seeing Captain Guan's performance just now, I've completely given up on that idea. I'll just stay in town for the rest of my life. There's not much of a future there, but the pressure is much less."
Guan Feng waved his hand and said, "Everyone has their own ambitions! It's not something you can force, and besides, it's impossible to be so accurate every time."
Officer Liang asked, "Captain Guan, should we question them separately later?"
Guan Feng nodded.
Officer Liang rushed into the room and began selecting rooms. After a short while, he chose the dining room as the interrogation room, so that once the door was closed, no one outside could hear him. He also used the adjacent storage room as a temporary transfer point.
This facilitates inquiries from both parties and allows for isolation.
He said, "Captain Guan, this way, shall we?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Okay! Thank you for your hard work."
