Five minutes later.
They all returned home.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
"If there's nothing else, I'll head back now. My friends are calling me to hang out."
The men all sounded somewhat impatient.
Guan Feng didn't give the others a chance to inform him. He separated the three of them, and he and Huang Lili sat alone in the room. Li Xiangdong and Liang Xiaotian watched as the remaining Zhang father and son entered the room one by one.
Five minutes later, after all three had finished their questions, Guan Feng frowned.
Seeing this, Huang Lili, who had worked well with Huang Lili multiple times, understood that they hadn't found the suspect and proactively asked, "Captain, are none of these three people the suspect?"
Guan Feng nodded and said, "Their behavior was normal. When it came to poisoning dogs, they all dodged and hesitated, clearly looking like they had done something wrong but didn't want to admit it. But when it came to poisoning cattle, they all looked calm and didn't seem like the people who poisoned them."
Huang Lili hesitated before asking, "Could it be that three people are in disguise?"
Guan Feng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "The probability is not high! It's easy for one person to impersonate someone, and even a professional actor might fool me. But if four people are impersonating someone and still try to fool my eyes, that will be very difficult!"
After all, his micro-expression analysis is no longer what it used to be.
Actors who can fool him are extremely rare.
Huang Lili thought about it and realized it made sense.
It's fine if it's just one person, but four people together? That's simply impossible!
She asked, "Captain, what should we do now?"
Guan Feng said, "Although they didn't do it, I still feel there's some causal relationship involved. I'll ask Zhang Changhe about it later."
Huang Lili said, "Okay, then I'll go call him."
......
Zhang Changhe walked in.
Seeing the other party's somewhat uneasy appearance, Guan Feng pointed to the chair in front of him and said, "Sit down, don't be nervous. The results of the inquiry so far are still favorable to you."
Zhang Changhe breathed a sigh of relief and said excitedly, "Then are we alright?"
Guan Feng shook his head and said, "It's too early to say that nothing's wrong, after all, you were the ones who poisoned that dog."
Zhang Changhe said, "I... I'll just compensate him with a dog."
Guan Feng said, "This isn't about whether or not to compensate for the dog. Dogs are used to guard the house. If someone secretly wanted to poison those cows, and you just happened to remove the guard dog, then the other party might take the risk. So there's a joint liability involved here."
Zhang Changhe asked helplessly, "This even counts?"
Guan Feng said, "To give an example, if you are driving your van against the flow of traffic at an intersection, and someone on an electric bike drives into a ditch in a moment of panic to let you pass, can you say that this has no causal relationship with you? It is definitely because of your traffic violation that a series of subsequent consequences occurred."
Zhang Changhe understood.
But seeing his lips moving, it was clear that he wanted to refute but was afraid of Guan Feng's authority.
Guan Feng was too lazy to expose him and said, "Cooperate with our investigation. If we find the culprit soon, we can clear you of suspicion."
Zhang Chang nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice, and said, "I will definitely cooperate! I will definitely cooperate!"
Guan Feng asked, "Why was the bride price increased at the last minute?"
Zhang Changhe hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Guan Feng said, "If you're not willing to talk, then you should go back to the station. There are over 100 people poisoned right now, and the number is still rising. We don't have time to waste here with you."
Zhang Changhe quickly pulled Guan Feng, who was getting up, and said, "I... I mainly care about my son."
Guan Feng asked, "Be more specific."
Zhang Changhe said, "My son is getting engaged, and the bride price is 280,000 yuan. I don't have that much money, so I was thinking of getting more from my daughter."
Guan Feng frowned and said, "You can't exploit your daughter's side just because your son's dowry isn't enough, can you?"
Zhang Changhe said, "Mainly, I felt that it was unfair that my son should receive 280,000 yuan while Zhang Huafeng's family only gave 188,000 yuan. I got carried away thinking about it."
Guan Feng cautioned, "Putting aside the fact that betrothal gifts are an outdated custom, everyone's situation is different. If the girl's parents are ambitious, they might not even want any. What's the point of your simple comparison?"
Zhang Changhe nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's why I regret it too. I was thinking of just sticking with 188,000. Captain Guan, if you have the chance, could you please put in a good word for me with Zhang Huafeng's family?"
Guan Feng: "???"
He glared at Zhang Changhe, wanting to see how big his face was.
Not only are you clueless, but you also want to drag yourself down with you? How many dishes did you have to drink to get this drunk?
Guan Feng shook his head inwardly. They were from the same village, but Zhang Huafeng was able to develop his business and become a big player in the village, while he could only raise a few cows. There was still a gap between them!
Guan Feng said, "We are only responsible for investigating cases; we don't get involved in these things. Zhang Chang and I are asking you, whose idea was it to poison the dog?"
"I...I came up with the idea!"
Zhang Changhe blinked and spoke.
Guan Feng cautioned, "Intentionally concealing the truth will result in legal consequences."
Zhang Changhe sighed and said, "He's my son."
Guan Feng asked, "Why did he poison the dog?"
Zhang Changhe said, "I guess it's because he couldn't stand Zhang Huafeng's family breaking off the engagement? My daughter's reputation is ruined, how can she get married now? He couldn't stand it, so he simply..."
Guan Feng shouted outside, "Xiang Dong, call Zhang Qingshu in."
Li Xiangdong walked in with Zhang Changhe's son.
Guan Feng said to Zhang Changhe, "You go out first, I want to ask your son a few questions."
As Zhang Changhe was leaving, he tried to wink at his son, but Li Xiangdong immediately confronted him, demanding, "What? Trying to tip him off? Zhang Changhe, you're still a suspect yourself! Let me tell you, just for poisoning someone's dog, you're good enough to spend several days in jail!"
