Chapter 47 Ke Zhihui
◎This umbrella is Wu Jianshe!◎
Three days later, Wang Xiaoquan notified Zhou Rulan to come to his office.
Zhou Rulan arranged her clothes, and with one arm hanging, she headed for the provincial administration building. It was a hot summer day, and the pomegranate flowers were flaming, but for some reason, she felt a sense of sadness, as if “the wind was howling, and the Yi River was cold.”
The hunch was right.
"Take a look for yourself." Wang Xiaoquan's face was gloomy as he placed a paternity appraisal report in front of her.
Zhou Rulan picked up the report with her left hand and looked at it carefully.
Hunan Criminal Technology Center
DNA test report from the genetic identification institute
DNA test on the parentage relationship between Wu Jianshe and Wu Rulie
Appraisal Opinion
——Based on existing data and DNA analysis results, Wu Jianshe is ruled out as Wu Rulie's biological father.
exclude!
Zhou Rulan stared at the two words intently, as if she wanted to burn a hole in the paper.
Wang Xiaoquan tapped his left hand on the large desk. "This is the result from our provincial department's technical center. Director Li Deyou personally assigned the task to ensure fairness and justice. You can see that our previous suspicions... were wrong."
Li Deyou is her mother's colleague since she started working, her closest and most trusted friend. With Wang Xiaoquan personally arranging the arrangements and so many eyes watching her in the technical center, Zhou Rulan had no doubt about the result.
Zhou Rulan didn't know how she walked out of the office.
As she walked out of the administration building, the dazzling sunlight made her squint her eyes, her footing stumbled, and she almost fell. Fortunately, someone passed by and helped her up in time, so she was able to stabilize herself.
Zhou Rulan thanked him and stepped forward.
Back at the hospital, Zhou Rulan looked a little downcast, which made Wu Ruxin, who had been waiting for news, nervous: "Sister, what's wrong? What did Uncle Wang ask you to do?"
Zhou Rulan sat down and said with a wry smile, "The results of the paternity test are out."
"How is it?" Wu Ruxin asked anxiously.
Zhou Rulan shook her head: "We guessed wrong, Rulie has no blood relationship with him."
"Ah!" Wu Ruxin opened her mouth wide, unable to describe the feeling in her heart. Rulie was not her father's illegitimate son, which showed that her father was an upright person and she was just misjudged. Logically, this was a good thing. However, her sister had made a bet with her father, and if she lost...
Zhou Rulan looked down at her unconscious mother, her eyes full of tenderness: "Mom, I was wrong. He is not Rulie's father. Did you make a mistake too? Wake up soon. I can't be with you anymore. You have to get better soon and take care of yourself."
Wu Ruxin's eyebrows jumped when she heard this. She walked to her sister and whispered, "Sis, now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, it's okay. We will take care of mom together in the future. Don't leave."
Zhou Rulan shook her head, her eyes firm: "Admit defeat, and do what you say." What's more, since he had already torn his relationship with Wu Jianshe, there was no way he could stay in Xing City.
Wu Ruxin was so anxious that she kept jumping up and down: "Sister, Mom hasn't woken up yet. The doctor said that she is likely to become a vegetable and she can't leave anyone by her side. What should I do if you leave?"
Zhou Rulan was very confused at the moment.
She was so sure of something before, but she didn't expect it to be wrong, which made her fall into self-doubt and reflection. Did she misunderstand Wu Jianshe, and was he actually an upright person? Did her mother really have depression, so she jumped off the building to commit suicide?
Seeing that her sister didn't say anything, Wu Ruxin was so anxious that she was sweating all over her forehead. "Sister, we are all family, how can there be any overnight hatred? Even if you suspect that Rulie is Dad's illegitimate child, it is quite normal. After all, there must be a reason why Mom jumped off the building to commit suicide. Even if we don't say it, someone will still raise doubts. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, isn't it enough? Are you really going to the border to seize drugs? You are a girl, and you are studying public security politics, which is not your major. What are you going there for? It's very dangerous!"
Zhou Rulan raised her head and said softly, "My hand hasn't healed yet, so I can't go for a while. I will file a report and submit an application in the next few days. If I really want to leave, it may take two or three months. I hope my mother can wake up soon so that I can go to the border with peace of mind."
Seeing that she was determined to leave, Wu Ruxin was extremely anxious. Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and said, "Sister, you stay with mom first. I'm going to be out for a while. Wait for me to come back." After saying that, she ran out of the ward like a gust of wind.
Wu Ruxin now has only one thought: let her sister stay.
Whenever Wu Ruxin thought about the fact that Zhou Rulan would be going to a dangerous place in a few months, fear would engulf her like a tide.
Border drug police are warriors walking on the edge of a knife!
Even a strong and powerful man has to endure loneliness, hardship and danger that ordinary people cannot endure, let alone a quiet and weak woman like Zhou Rulan.
Zhou Rulan's father was a drug-catching police officer and a hero who sacrificed his life at work.
Although it was an honor to inherit her father's business, Wu Ruxin could not accept it emotionally. She admitted that she was selfish and timid, and she did not want Zhou Rulan to leave at this time and in this way.
The first person Wu Ruxin wanted to find was Zhao Xiangwan.
Zhao Xiangwan was currently in the city bureau office, discussing with Ji Zhao how to convey the meaning behind the changes in micro-expressions.
Although Zhao Xiangwan's voice was light and gentle, it was filled with an indescribable familiarity: "There was a smile, but the face was flushed or pale, the facial muscles were a little distorted, and the expression was unnatural."
[Color changes. I will bring oil painting pigments tomorrow. Let's use shadows to represent it today.]
Ji Zhao was already accustomed to communicating with Zhao Xiangwan in this way. He only needed to think in his head, because Zhao Xiangwan could hear him anyway.
Zhu Feipeng walked in from outside, gulped down a few gulps of cold tea, and came over to look at the portrait Ji Zhao had drawn. He asked curiously, "What does this expression mean?"
Zhao Xiangwan looked at the portrait drawn by Ji Zhao. The gloomy thin cheeks and meticulous hairstyle were 70% similar to Zhou Jingrong. Ji Zhao had a good memory and had only met Zhou Jingrong once, at the door of the interrogation room. He did not expect that he could record her expression so vividly.
"This means that the other party is suspected of lying and is worried about being exposed and causing damage to his image, so he is very anxious inside." Zhao Xiangwan explained patiently to Zhu Feipeng.
Zhu Feipeng suddenly realized it. He stared at the portrait for a long time and murmured, "No wonder, no wonder. No wonder Xiang Wan suspected Zhou Jingrong of poisoning you from the beginning. It turns out that her micro-expressions revealed that she was lying."
Zhao Xiangwan lowered her head and did not respond. Micro-expressions and the like were actually just a theoretical cover for mind reading. What she had to do now was to work hard to build up this set of theories so that more public security officers could learn and use them.
Today, members of the serious crime squad are doing their best to track down the missing red Nissan. Some are visiting auto repair shops, some are checking nearby hotel accommodation lists, and some are contacting the public security departments of surrounding towns to handle various types of reports.
Zhu Feipeng picked up a pile of documents on the table and used them as a fan. He fanned himself a few times, and when the sweat on his body subsided a little, he continued to speak: "Xiang Wan, we have checked all the car repair shops in the city, and none of them have repaired the red Nissan. We have also asked all the hotels and guesthouses, big and small, but no one has seen the female driver. This is really strange, could she have flown into the sky?"
Zhao Xiangwan had just completed the internship procedures and settled down in a room in the single dormitory of the Municipal Bureau. He didn't know much about the search process led by Xu Songling. After listening to Zhu Feipeng's words, he asked casually: "Have you asked the Four Seasons Hotel?"
Zhu Feipeng was stunned for a moment: "Four Seasons Hotel? This is a five-star hotel. How could a murderer like her dare to stay in such a luxurious hotel?"
Zhao Xiangwan raised her eyes and glanced at him: "Why not? A Nissan worth 680,000 yuan, which shows that she is not short of money. Most private cars on the street are black, white, and gray, but she drives a red one, not afraid of attracting attention. Would such a person live in a small hotel?"
Zhu Feipeng suddenly realized something. He slammed the document he was using as a fan on the table. "That's right! Xiang Wan, you reminded us a lot. We had misunderstood her before. We thought she would be cunning and hide away."
After that, Zhu Feipeng picked up the phone and gave instructions directly to his mother, Ms. Lu Manning: "Mom, I sent you a fax. Please send it to all the branches of your hotel across the country to see if the front desk staff has received this person before."
“Dudududu——”
There was a knock on the door.
Wu Ruxin poked her head in cautiously.
Zhu Feipeng put down the phone and asked sternly, "Who are you looking for?" When did the Serious Crime Unit become a reception room? Why were people running to the Serious Crime Unit one by one?
Wu Ruxin ignored him. When she spotted Zhao Xiangwan, her eyes lit up and she ran in: "Xiangwan, Xiangwan!"
Normally, they lived in the same dormitory and were used to calling each other by their first names. Suddenly, Zhao Xiangwan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard Wu Ruxin calling him "Xiangwan" so intimately. He stood up and asked, "Wu Ruxin, what's the matter?"
Wu Ruxin ran over as if she had seen a relative and took Zhao Xiangwan's hand: "Xiangwan, please help me persuade my sister. She said she wants to sign up to go to the border and be a drug police officer."
Zhao Xiangwan frowned slightly and pulled back her hand: "Why are you leaving?"
Wu Ruxin wanted to pull further, but Ji Zhao stretched out his hand and stood in front of Zhao Xiangwan, preventing Wu Ruxin from touching her body again.
The pair of white, jade-like hands in front of her were so beautiful that Wu Ruxin was stunned for a moment and looked up at the owner of the hands. Ji Zhao's eyebrows were filled with clouds, but he couldn't hide his handsomeness.
It was the first time Wu Ruxin saw such a handsome man. Her heart beat faster and faster. She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't say a word.
Zhu Feipeng saw this from the side and sneered: "Are you dumbfounded?"
Wu Ruxin's face flushed. She glared at Zhu Feipeng, calmed herself down, and then remembered the purpose of her visit: "My sister made a bet with my father. If she loses, she will go to the border to catch drug dealers."
Zhao Xiangwan saw Zhou Rulan's resolute face and his heart sank. "What's the bet?"
Wu Ruxin glanced at Zhu Feipeng and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zhu Feipeng snorted, picked up the file and left the office, saying "What a shame!" This is obviously the serious crime team's office, and that girl acts like it's her home turf. Who would care to know about her family's mess?
Wu Ruxin looked at Ji Zhao again.
Ji Zhao ignored him and continued to stay beside Zhao Xiangwan.
Wu Ruxin's eyes moved between Ji Zhao and Zhao Xiangwan's faces twice, and suddenly she said "Oh".
[Is this person Zhao Xiangwan's boyfriend? That's why she allowed him to get so close. Ah, so beautiful...]
Zhao Xiangwan interrupted her reverie: "If you have something to say, then say it. If not, just go back."
Wu Ruxin said, "Yes, yes, I said. My sister suspected that Rulie was my father's illegitimate child and asked them to do a paternity test. Before doing it, she made a bet with my father that if she was wrong, she would be transferred to the border to catch drug police. The result came out today, and it was us who wrongly blamed my father, so..."
Zhao Xiangwan asked: "You have to go to your father for this matter, why are you looking for me?" The person who tied the bell must be the one to untie it. Since it was a bet between Wu Jianshe and Zhou Rulan, it was up to Wu Jianshe to decide whether to fulfill the bet.
Wu Ruxin looked ashamed: "I, I'm afraid of my dad. Can you accompany me to meet my dad?"
Zhao Xiangwan was a little surprised. That was Deputy Director Wu! How dare Wu Ruxin let him interfere in their family affairs? Wasn't she afraid of her family scandal being exposed? Wasn't she worried that Deputy Director Wu would harm her?
Wu Ruxin explained hurriedly: "Just accompany me to take a look, just take a look, okay? Don't you know the theory of micro-expression behavior? Help me see if my father really wants my sister to leave Xing City."
Zhao Xiangwan raised his eyebrows: "If your father wants your sister to stay, there are a hundred ways." What's the point of making a bet? There is no such thing as admitting defeat between father and daughter. Even if Zhou Rulan submitted a report requesting a transfer, Wu Jianshe could have someone detain her, unless... Wu Jianshe wanted this result.
Wu Ruxin felt a tightness in her chest: "But I don't want my sister to leave. There's no reason to let her go now. My mother hasn't woken up yet. My sister can't leave."
Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "If you don't want it, then go and get it yourself."
Wu Ruxin stood there for a moment, feeling that her little thoughts were exposed in front of Zhao Xiangwan, and she was filled with shame. She admitted that the reason she came to Zhao Xiangwan and wanted to drag her to persuade Wu Jianshe was actually to divert the trouble to others.
She didn't dare to confront her father alone, so she had to find a strong support point. In the past, her mother had protected her from the wind and rain, and after her mother fell into a coma, Zhou Rulan stood in front of her. Now that Zhou Rulan was leaving, she wanted to drag Zhao Xiangwan into her camp.
If she wins, she benefits; if she loses, there are others to support her.
With her cheeks slightly burning, Wu Ruxin trembled and said, "Well, I'll give it a try." Zhao Xiangwan was right. This was her own business and she had to fight for it and work hard for it.
Just as she turned around and was about to leave, she suddenly heard a familiar voice coming from the corridor. The courage she had finally gathered up suddenly vanished, and Wu Ruxin was frightened and quickly hid behind Zhao Xiangwan: "My dad is here."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the serious crime team was pushed open, and Xu Songling walked in front, his voice like a bell: "Deputy Director Wu, please!"
Wu Jianshe, dressed in uniform, walked in surrounded by a group of people.
Zhao Xiangwan made way to the side. Wu Ruxin couldn't hide her figure, so she could only force a smile and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Dad."
Wu Jianshe didn't expect to see his daughter here, and his pupils shrank.
[Why is Xinxin in the serious crime squad? Does she know about Ke Zhihui? No...]
Zhao Xiangwan quickly captured an important piece of information: Ke Zhihui, or possibly Ke Zhihui or Ke Zhihui.
Wu Jianshe's heart was extremely strong, and his momentary distraction caused his heart to open a crack, but it closed tightly in an instant, and Zhao Xiangwan could not hear anything.
But it was this name that made Zhao Xiangwan alert. She had a hunch that the man who ran away from the accident was named Ke Zhihui and was from Wu Jianshe!
Wu Jianshe asked calmly, "Xinxin, why are you here?"
Wu Ruxin subconsciously lifted Zhao Xiangwan out: "My classmate Zhao Xiangwan is interning here, I came to play with her."
Zhao Xiangwan glanced at her, stood still and saluted: "Hello, Chief Wu, I am trainee police officer Zhao Xiangwan, reporting to you!"
Wu Jianshe looked at Zhao Xiangwan seriously and nodded: "Young and promising, very good." He had heard of this Zhao Xiangwan. At a young age, he studied micro-expression behavior and applied this theory to solve several major cases. He has a promising future.
Wu Jianshe and his group sat down and listened to Xu Songling's report on the progress of the investigation into the hit-and-run case. When he heard that the person had not been found yet, his brows furrowed.
After the work report was finished, Wu Jianshe briefly said a few words of encouragement and prepared to leave.
Zhao Xiangwan suddenly raised his arm and touched Wu Ruxin. Wu Ruxin had no way to hide and could only call out to her father, "Dad!"
Wu Jianshe looked at his daughter with a calm expression.
Wu Ruxin begged, "Dad, please don't let me go to the border."
Wu Jianshe frowned and said, "If you have anything to say, go home and talk."
Wu Ruxin knew her father's personality. If they waited until the door was closed, she would never have the chance to speak. She mustered up her courage and continued, "My sister knows she made a mistake. We all misunderstood you. It was our fault. I apologize to you on her behalf!"
Wu Jianshe had a half-smile on his face: "Apologize? Let her do it herself."
Wu Ruxin bent down and smiled: "Dad, you know my sister's temper. Wouldn't it be more painful to ask her to apologize than to kill her?"
Wu Jianshe was very annoyed that his once obedient daughter was pestering in front of her subordinates.
[You want evidence, then I'll give it to you. Humph! As long as you understand the weaknesses of human nature, what evidence can't you produce? It's just a paternity test, how difficult can it be? Zhou Rulan must go, she's too disobedient.]
Wu Jianshe's paternity test was fake! The content he heard was too shocking. Zhao Xiangwan held his breath and tried to reduce his presence, for fear of disturbing Wu Jianshe from speaking his mind.
Wu Jianshe's face was too gloomy, which made Wu Ruxin feel uneasy. She begged again: "Dad, you are usually busy, and it just happened that you met me today. Don't blame me for being ignorant. Can you tell my sister not to go to the border? She listens to you the most. As long as you say so, she will definitely stay."
Wu Jianshe ignored Wu Ruxin and stood up. He scanned the entire room and finally stopped at Xu Songling: "Captain Xu, the A-level wanted warrant has been issued. The rest of the work is left to you. Please hurry up and solve the case."
Having said that, he left first.
Wu Ruxin was left standing blankly in the office, her eyes full of panic. She grabbed Zhao Xiangwan's arm and asked, "What does my dad mean? Is he angry with me? Can my sister stay?"
A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Xiangwan's eyes: "Do you really want your sister to stay?"
Wu Ruxin nodded repeatedly: "Of course. My mother is still in a coma, and the doctor said she is very likely to become a vegetable. If she knew that my sister went to the border, she would be very worried. You know, my sister's biological father died in the process of catching drugs. I am so scared."
Zhao Xiangwan asked her, "Why did your sister leave?"
Wu Ruxin looked at Zhao Xiangwan in confusion: "Didn't I just tell you? She lost the bet with my dad."
"What bet?"
"Parenting test."
“Who did the appraisal?”
"The Provincial Department's Criminal Technology Center's Genetic Identification Institute."
“Are the results credible?”
Wu Ruxin's eyes widened, and she took a long time to reply: "The Provincial Department, the Criminal Technology Center of the Provincial Department was founded by my mother, and she also introduced the genetic testing equipment from Kyoto. Director Li Deyou is my mother's most trusted partner. Can the results of what Director Wang personally instructed be credible?"
Zhao Xiangwan's expression was very calm, and he just looked at Wu Ruxin quietly. It seemed as if he was saying: Is seeing necessarily believing?
Wu Ruxin felt a chill on her back.
What does it mean if the paternity test is fake?
This shows that Wu Jianshe has connections and has bribed his mother's best partner.
This shows that Wu Jianshe had anticipated this result and acted very carefully, keeping Wu Rulie's life story strictly secret.
It’s terrifying to think about it.
Wu Ruxin didn't dare to think further, and stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly: "Then, what should I do?"
Zhao Xiangwan: "Why do we have to trouble Deputy Director Wu?"
Wu Ruxin understood immediately, raised her finger and pointed at Zhao Xiangwan, blurting out: "You mean..."
The more I think about it, the more it makes sense. Why do Wu Jianshe and Wu Rulie have to have their blood drawn for paternity testing? I heard that as long as there is hair and nails, the test can also be done.
Wu Ruxin lowered her voice and asked Zhao Xiangwan: "Can you test me and my brother? If we are related by blood, does that mean my brother is my father's illegitimate son?"
Zhao Xiangwan specifically researched and learned about genetic testing. He shook his head and said, "There is no way to test and confirm the blood relationship between half-siblings."
"Why?"
"To put it simply, you inherited the X gene from your father, and Wu Rulie inherited the Y gene from his father. Because the gene sequences are different, the blood relationship cannot be determined."
Wu Ruxin said "Oh", not quite understanding, but she understood one thing: genetic testing could only be conducted on Wu Jianshe and Wu Chuanlie.
“Is blood drawing necessary for paternity testing? Is hair drawing OK?”
Zhao Xiangwan: "You can use hair, but it must be hair plucked from the head, with hair follicles or hair roots. Hair that falls off naturally or is cut off cannot be used for paternity testing."
Wu Ruxin understood this time, thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, stamped his feet and said, "I'll go pull it out now!" Then he ran out excitedly. As he ran, he thought, I have to find a way to get Wu Rulie out of the boarding school and pull out a handful of his hair. The headache was how to pull a few hairs out of Wu Jianshe's head.
Halfway through her run, she suddenly turned back and said, "But, in our province, the Provincial Department's Criminal Technology Center is the only place that can do paternity testing."
Zhao Xiangwan rolled his eyes at her and said, "There is only one in the province, but there are many outside the province."
Wu Ruxin suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, I was confused." But this matter must be kept secret and not a single word should be leaked, lest he find out.
Wu Ruxin herself did not realize that although she admired her father, in her heart she actually trusted her mother and sister and suspected that her father had an illegitimate child.
The next day, Lu Manning called and said, "The person in the portrait is called Ke Zhihui. She stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Zhu City on the night of the incident. She used her own ID card to check in."
With this important clue, all members of the serious crime team became excited. As long as they had her ID number and whereabouts, it would only be a matter of time before they caught her.
A week later, Ke Zhihui was arrested.
According to the preliminary interrogation results, Ke Zhihui admitted to hit-and-run, but her attitude was very casual.
"Zhou Rulan, yes, it was Zhou Rulan I bumped into."
"Isn't she in the Jinlianhu Police Station? Two years ago, my son hit someone in front of the provincial party committee. It was just a matter of paying some money, but she insisted that it was intentional injury and collected evidence that led to my son being arrested and imprisoned. I can't accept it! I can't stand her!"
"I moved to Guangdong Province in the past two years, and I had no intention of dealing with her. But today I happened to go to Xing City for work, and I was driving on the street and ran into her at the entrance of the hospital. I don't know why, but I suddenly had an idea. You caused my son to go to jail, so I will hit you to death!"
When asked by Xu Songling whether she had any accomplices or was being instructed by someone, she denied everything and even cried out, "Who can point fingers at me? My husband runs a company in Yangcheng and has plenty of money. I just can't accept it, I can't accept it!"
This put the investigation into a dead end.
Ke Zhihui admitted the fact of hitting someone and took all the responsibility. Her attitude was gentle and measured, and she did not look like an impulsive criminal at all.
The experienced Xu Songling noticed something was wrong.
First, suspects who commit impulsive crimes are usually impatient, easily angered, and cannot stand provocation. However, Ke Zhihui answered all questions and appeared rational and calm throughout. How could she be a person who committed a crime of passion?
Second, Zhou Rulan was just a civilian police officer at the Jinlian Lake Police Station. It was impossible for her to collect evidence to put Ke Zhihui's son in jail. This hatred was too forced!
Third, if Ke Zhihui hated Zhou Rulan because of her son’s case and knew Zhou Rulan, then she should have met Zhou Rulan and the police from Jinlianhu Police Station many times. It makes no sense that she was not recognized at first. This shows that she was not familiar with Zhou Rulan and other investigators at all, and she was following the upper-level route.
Zhao Xiangwan did not enter the interrogation room immediately. After carefully studying Ke Zhihui's personal information, Zhao Xiangwan invited Zhou Rulan to go into the interrogation room with her.
Seeing Zhou Rulan with her right hand in a cast, Ke Zhihui, who had been smiling all the time, changed her expression.
Her facial muscles were distorted, and her whole demeanor was very abnormal. After a brief look, Ke Zhihui began to grit her teeth, her eyes widened, her nostrils flared, and she screamed, "You caused my son to go to jail, I want you to have a taste of being hit! How is it? Your arm is broken, right? You deserve it!"
[Alas! If it weren't for my son, why would I be such a bad person? Since I hit someone, I have nightmares every day. My hands shake when I drive. It's terrible.]
Zhao Xiangwan turned his head to look at Ji Zhao who was carrying a painting clip on his back, and said gently: "Did you see that? Her anger was just pretended, and she seemed to be overdoing it."
Ji Zhao nodded. Since Zhao Xiangwan asked him to pay attention, he would remember this face.
Zhu Feipeng and Xu Songling exchanged glances and nodded secretly. Zhao Xiangwan was right. Ke Zhihui's hateful expression was too deliberate and lasted too long, which was very discordant.
Zhao Xiangwan's voice was neither too loud nor too low, and Ke Zhihui heard it clearly. Her face turned red and white, and she felt ashamed as if someone was pointing fingers at her and scolding her in public. For a moment, she didn't know whether to continue to maintain this anger or just give up.
Zhou Rulan looked at Ke Zhihui seriously. "Lu Tianci was drunk and drove into someone, causing serious consequences. He also fled the scene afterwards. It is not unfair for him to be sentenced to six years. The deceased was in his prime, and his family is in great pain. If you have any humanity, you should kneel in front of the deceased's grave and repent and reflect on your own behavior. How dare you hate me, a young police officer who was helping with the case and had only been on the job for two years at the time?"
After being scolded by Zhou Rulan, Ke Zhihui's previously gnashing teeth expression calmed down a lot. She lowered her eyes and did not speak for a long time.
Zhou Rulan and Zhao Xiangwan stood side by side in front of Ke Zhihui, looked at each other, and Zhao Xiangwan nodded slightly, indicating that she could ask whatever she wanted to ask.
Zhou Rulan pulled out the chair with her left hand, sat down straight, and coughed lightly. She was just a civilian police officer in the police station, not involved in the investigation of the case, and was not familiar with how to interrogate criminals. However, facing the murderer who once tried to hit her to death with a car, Zhou Rulan did have something to say.
"Ke Zhihui, before I came here, I specifically asked the colleague who was in charge of the Lu Tianci case. I heard that Lu Tianci behaved well in prison and was given two commutation opportunities. He will be released from prison early next year. At this critical moment, why did you drive your car and hit me?"
Ke Zhihui lowered her head and said nothing, her shoulders and neck were stiff, and her attitude was very resistant.
Being humiliated in public by Zhao Xiangwan and confronted by Zhou Rulan, Ke Zhihui's mental preparation, which she had worked so hard to build, suddenly collapsed, and her inner world appeared in Zhao Xiangwan's mind.
[Why? It's all because of my son! Why do you think Tianci was able to get two reductions in sentence and receive preferential treatment in prison? It's because he made a call. The court sentenced him to six years. If he had served his sentence honestly, he would have been 30 years old when he got out. After he made a call, he really got the green light all the way and was released in less than three years. He said that as long as I killed or disabled Zhou Rulan, Tianci would be able to get out smoothly next year, otherwise... let him die quietly in prison.]
He? Who is this he?
The answer is obvious.
Zhou Rulan shook her head: "You said you hated me, so you hit me. This reason is not valid at all."
Ke Zhihui suddenly raised her head and looked at Zhou Rulan steadily: "Do I need a reason to hate someone? I just hate you. I hate you for organizing the materials and for sending my son to prison."
Her face was flushed, her facial muscles were twisted, and her expression was unnatural. Zhu Feipeng's mind flashed back to the portrait he saw in the office yesterday, and he blurted out: "She, she is lying."
Once again, Ke Zhihui was accused of lying. Her face turned pale and her lips began to tremble. Fear nailed her firmly to the iron chair in the interrogation room, and she could not move at all.
[They can see it, they know everything! What should I do? What should I do? He said that if I honestly take the blame, I will be sentenced to three years at most. He has someone in prison, and he can just say hello and let me live comfortably for a year and I can be released early, without worrying about anything. But...if I reveal my identity, Tianci and I will not be able to survive in that prison.]
When Zhao Xiangwan heard this, his whole body began to turn cold.
Cover the sky with one hand!
Wu Jianshe is such a person? Yes, he is the deputy director of the provincial public security department and the chief of the criminal investigation corps, responsible for criminal crime investigation, economic crime investigation, prison management, drug control and other aspects. His improper conduct will be a tragedy for the entire public security system.
A single leaf can tell the coming of autumn. It is conceivable that there is a huge chain of interests behind Wu Jianshe, and who knows how many people are involved!
Just because of the loopholes in prison management, the wife of a millionaire with a net worth of tens of millions can drive a car to commit a crime with an extremely arrogant attitude. As Wu Jianshe's bedmate, did Miao Hui also discover something, which is why Wu Jianshe killed her?
The more he thought about it, the more scared he became, so Zhao Xiangwan kept silent.
This is not something she can deal with now, nor is it something Xu Songling can handle.
At this moment, Zhao Xiangwan's mind was working rapidly, thinking of countermeasures. How to expose Wu Jianshe's flaws, how to make the senior leaders pay attention to Wu Jianshe's problems.
Zhou Rulan asked a few more questions, but Ke Zhihui didn't say a word, completely different from her previous cooperative attitude. When the questions got too intense, she just said, "I plead guilty, I plead guilty, you can arrest me and put me in jail."
Zhou Rulan turned around and looked at Zhao Xiangwan helplessly.
Zhu Feipeng and Xu Songling also turned their eyes over, full of anticipation.
【Xiang Wan, it’s up to you. 】
[Junior sister, it’s time to learn your micro-expression behavior. ]
[Disciple, whether we can find out who is behind Ke Zhihui depends on you.]
Zhao Xiangwan stood up slowly, placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and his eyes were bright and clear.
Ke Zhihui felt an inexplicable pressure and did not dare to make eye contact with her.
"Ms. Ke, your son's sentence was commuted twice. What was the reason?"
"He, he's doing well in prison."
"No, you're lying! We've already learned that Lu Tianci has been acting high-profile and lazy in prison, and his reputation is very bad."
Ke Zhihui's forehead began to sweat.
Zhou Rulan looked at Zhao Xiangwan in surprise. Lu Tianci had a bad reputation in prison? How could she not know that?
Zhao Xiangwan signaled Zhou Rulan with her eyes not to interrupt her.
Zhou Rulan gradually developed a tacit understanding with her and nodded slightly.
Seeing the two of them flirting with each other, Ke Zhihui thought that her background had been thoroughly investigated. She was afraid that it would affect her son's release from prison, so she screamed in fear: "No, no, my Tianci is very well behaved, he is very obedient, very obedient!"
Zhao Xiangwan sneered, "How ridiculous! A man who hit someone to death and showed no remorse, a grown man who was showing off in prison, you say he is very good and obedient?"
Ke Zhihui felt as if she was stabbed in the heart, with blood dripping from the wound.
[How did it become like this? Mingci was so cute when he was little, smiling at everyone he met, and everyone praised him for being smart and sensible, but why did he become more naughty and disobedient as he grew older? will definitely be bullied.]
Habits are like killers!
Until now, Ke Zhihui has been making excuses for Lu Tianci's behavior.
Zhao Xiangwan continued to rub salt into her wounds: "Lu Tianci was able to smoke, drink, and bully in prison, and yet his sentence was reduced by nearly three years. It was you who spent money to hold up an umbrella for him, right? Who was it?"
Ke Zhihui raised her head in horror and stared at Zhao Xiangwan blankly, her lips tightly pursed into a straight line.
This expression immediately reminded Zhu Feipeng of the time after Pan Guoqing murdered his wife, when Zhao Xiangwan explained to everyone the meaning behind lip shape.
——When we asked Pan Guoqing where the money went, his lips were pursed into a straight line, which means that he is very stubborn and will never look back once he makes a decision. But when the stimulation accumulates, he will temporarily lose his mind, which leads to his radical behavior of pulling the curtains, opening the closet, and throwing clothes.
Zhu Feipeng's scalp began to tingle, and he felt a sense of enlightenment. Ke Zhihui's current look clearly showed that she had made up her mind not to turn back. If he wanted her to speak the truth, he had to stimulate her.
Provoke her? Zhu Feipeng was nervous and excited. He stared at Zhao Xiangwan and carefully observed her every move and every word.
Zhao Xiangwan repeated the question he had just asked: "Who is it?"
Ke Zhihui lowered her eyes and said nothing.
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "This is the person who asked you to hit Zhou Rulan to death, right?"
Ke Zhihui looked up in fear.
Zhao Xiangwan saw it clearly, and her pupils suddenly dilated.
Zhao Xiangwan didn't even wait for her to answer and spoke faster.
"Before you started the fight, your posture was very stiff, showing an obvious freezing reaction, which means you were unwilling to hit someone, and there must be someone behind you forcing you."
Although she didn't understand what the freeze reaction was, Zhao Xiangwan's words made Ke Zhihui even more confused about what to do. It seemed that if she showed any abnormality, she would be exposed by the other party. This feeling was too terrifying.
Zhu Feipeng and Xu Songling exchanged glances. Under certain conditions, vertebrates will experience a stagnation of movement rhythm, which is called the freezing reaction. No wonder Zhao Xiangwan ran back to stop Ke Zhihui from hitting someone, so that's why.
"You have maintained yourself well, you still have charm, you have plenty of money, you have a carefree life, you own properties in Xing City and Yangcheng, and you were too lazy to even repair your 600,000 yuan car after it crashed. Who can threaten you?"
"Your husband is ten years older than you, and you two have only one son, Lu Tianci. The only person who could make you take such a risk is Lu Tianci, right?"
"The person who can hold up an umbrella for Lu Tianshi in prison can also let Lu Tianshi die in a fight, right?"
"Silk——"
Ke Zhihui couldn't help but gasp.
Now even Zhu Feipeng could see that Zhao Xiangwan guessed right!
Zhou Rulan's face became more and more ugly, and her teeth were quietly chattering. How dare he?
"This person is also from the public security system, right?"
"Good, it seems I was right! He must be very high level, right?"
Ke Zhihui's throat tightened and she shook her head desperately, but she couldn't utter a word.
"Well, it does look very high. How high?"
"Section level, deputy director level, director level, deputy department level..."
As Zhao Xiangwan spoke word by word, everyone's eyes were fixed on Ke Zhihui's face. When the three words "deputy director level" came out, the corner of Ke Zhihui's right eye twitched.
Zhu Feipeng jumped up: "Deputy director! That man is a deputy director-level cadre! A deputy director-level cadre in the public security system..."
Ke Zhihui tensed up completely, her face as pale as a piece of paper. She wanted to scream but didn't dare. She reached out her hands in the air and gripped the armrests of the iron chair tightly.
Two seconds later, she finally found her voice, but it was terribly weak: "No, it's not."
Zhao Xiangwan had no sympathy at all and continued to exert pressure: "Who are the deputy department-level cadres in the public security system? I think I know a few. Wang, Li, Dai..."
Every time a surname was spoken, Ke Zhihui's heart skipped a beat.
"Wu!"
Zhao Xiangwan emphasized his tone and spoke each word: "Wu, Jian, She."
Hearing these three words, Ke Zhihui's mind suddenly went blank, and she was completely frozen in place, motionless. The more frightened she was, the more she stared at Zhao Xiangwan.
This is a typical freeze reaction. The freeze reaction is one of the animal instincts left by humans. When encountering information stimulation of a certain intensity and unpredictability, people will freeze all reactions in order to protect themselves and think about the next move. Out of instinctive reaction, they will keep looking at the thing that makes him feel scared.
Eyelids dilated, irises opened, pupils shrank, breathing rapidly, jaws pulled mouth open, Ke Zhihui uttered only one word for a long time: "No!"
Ke Zhihui, who had been relaxed all along, suddenly became dull and stiff after hearing the three words "military construction". Even the most careless Zhu Feipeng saw the clue and already had the answer in his mind.
——This umbrella belongs to Deputy Director Wu of the Provincial Department, Wu Jianshe!
