Chapter 81 Interrogation
◎Where were you on the morning of January 17, 1981?◎
It has been seventeen years since Dai Minli was murdered. It is a long time ago and the murderer has been executed, so it is difficult to reopen the case.
Zhu Feipeng put aside the incomplete case file about Dai Minli and picked up another case file about Zhai Xinlian. Zhai Xinlian's disappearance occurred in 1981. During the crackdown in 1983, the case was taken seriously because it involved the abduction of women and children. In addition, Zhai Xinlian's family insisted on coming to inquire every year, so the case file has been kept intact.
Similarly, after listening to Zhu Feipeng's explanation, Zhao Xiangwan, who had some understanding of the case, began to ask questions.
"First, who can prove that Jia Shendu took the train back to his hometown on January 15, 1981?"
"I have the train ticket as proof."
"The train tickets were not in real names, so he could buy two tickets and pretend to leave school on the 15th, but actually go with Zhai Xinlian on the 17th."
"That's hard to say. If he and Zhai Xinlian were on the same train, which departed at 10:20 a.m., it would take about nine hours to get from Xing City to Dayiling Station, and it would be 7:30 p.m. when they arrived. There were no long-distance buses. Mingyu, write this down and wait for Lao Gao and the others to come back and ask if any hotel owner remembered Jia Shendu on the night of January 17, 1981."
He Mingyu responded loudly: "Okay."
If there is a record of Jia Shendu staying at the hotel that night and that he was with Zhai Xinlian, that would be very important evidence and Jia Shendu could be detained and interrogated.
"Second, who else lived in Jia Shendu's hometown? What was his family environment like? Was his home renovated around the Spring Festival in 1981? Did anything unusual happen?"
Zhu Feipeng shook his head: "No one suspected Jia Shendu at that time, so no one went to Jiajia Village, Mayuan Township, Changhan County to investigate. However, Mingyu can write down the questions you asked and remind Lao Gao and the others."
After He Mingyu wrote down the second point, he added, "I did read some information about Jia Shendu's family background in his files. He is the youngest in the family, with four older sisters. In rural areas, children like him are usually raised in a spoiled way, and are allowed to do whatever they want."
Zhao Xiangwan asked again: "Are his parents still alive? Are his sister and brother-in-law still living there, or have they left? How is their relationship?"
He Mingyu shook her head. "The file simply states the family relationship, but Lao Gao and his team still have to ask about the specific relationship. Okay, I'll make a note of this as well, and remind Lao Gao and his team when they get here and contact us."
Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "Third, how old was Zhai Xinlian when she disappeared? What was her family situation like? How was her performance in school? Was her relationship with Jia Shendu harmonious? Did she show any abnormal behavior?"
"Zhai Xinlian is a family of four. Her parents run a grocery store in a small county town. Her younger brother is eight years younger than her. When she went missing, she was... Oh, 26 years old."
26 years old? This made Zhao Xiangwan raise his head: "Are you married?"
Zhu Feipeng shook his head: "No. Zhai Xinlian was admitted to Hunan University for postgraduate study in 1979. She was admitted with equivalent academic qualifications. She worked in the county urban construction committee before. According to her mother, Zhai Xinlian had a sharp personality and spoke a little bluntly, which offended the leaders of the unit, so she wanted to change the environment and start over. After colleges and universities resumed graduate entrance examinations in 1978, she decided to continue her studies. She was successfully admitted in 1979 and studied as a graduate student of Jia Shendu."
Zhao Xiangwan said: "At that time, Jia Shendu was in his early 30s, not much different in age from Zhai Xinlian. Dai Minli had been dead for some time. Would Jia Shendu have had improper thoughts about Zhai Xinlian, a graduate student? Would he have played out a campus teacher-student romance?"
Zhu Feipeng nodded: "It's possible."
Zhao Xiangwan continued to ask: "If Zhai Xinlian has a sharp personality and speaks bluntly, is it possible that she accidentally offended Jia Shendu without knowing it?"
Zhao Xiangwan remembered that he had deliberately poked Jia Shendu's sore spot: If the weak are eliminated, then why don't people as short and ugly as you die? At that time, Jia Shendu thought to himself: The last person who said that to me was strangled to death by me and buried under the big vat in the toilet of the old house, where she was exposed to the smell of feces and drenched in urine every day.
This shows that Jia Shendu has a dark heart and is self-conscious about his appearance, and hates being told he is ugly. Given Zhai Xinlian's personality, it is possible that her words angered Jia Shendu and made him want to kill her.
Thinking about the results of the survey at Hunan University today, Zhao Xiangwan had an idea.
"Jia Shendu is a vicious and ruthless person. He was only 18 years old when he took the lead in persecuting Teacher Zhu Chengling. I heard that Teacher Zhu suffered a lot, but because of the times, the kind-hearted Teacher Zhu Chengling did not think of retaliating or putting him down.
I heard that when Jia Shendu was young, he had a lot of acne on his face, which made him ugly and unpopular with girls. He finally married a beautiful girl from his hometown, Dai Minli, but Dai Minli cheated on him. He could have divorced her or reported her to the police, but he took a more ruthless approach and killed Dai Minli and framed Jiang Yuchun.
Hearing this, He Mingyu shuddered.
As a university teacher, Jia Shendu should be a role model for others, cultivating morality, mind and practice. Unexpectedly, he is a shameless villain with a beastly appearance!
Zhao Xiangwan said: "Whether it was Zhu Chengling or Dai Minli, Jia Shendu's crimes were not punished, so he became more and more daring. He fell in love with the delicate and thin Zhai Xinlian, thinking that she was easy to control, but he didn't expect that Zhai Xinlian was a hot pepper, so he planned to kill her and began to make arrangements."
Zhu Feipeng clenched his fist and slammed it heavily on the table: "Damn it! Such a person must have his crimes exposed and must be arrested and brought to justice, otherwise more people will be killed by him."
He found the transcripts of the police's interrogation of Zhai Xinlian's classmates, the college's teaching secretary, and the counselor, and quickly flipped through the relevant materials. Zhao Xiangwan and He Mingyu also joined in the review. The preciousness of criminal investigation transcripts was revealed at this moment. No wonder the school teachers and veteran detectives in the serious crime team repeatedly emphasized the importance of transcripts.
"Look here, Teacher Jia is usually very caring towards Zhai Xinlian, but Zhai Xinlian doesn't seem to like Teacher Jia very much. If others say that Teacher Jia is giving her a small stove, she will snort coldly: If you like it so much, then you go?"
"During the winter break, all graduate students had to report to their supervisors. Zhai Xinlian did not buy a ticket because her supervisor said she had a mission and wrote back saying she would not be home until around the New Year's Eve. Later, Teacher Jia said the mission was cancelled and bought a ticket for her. When she got the ticket on the 15th, Zhai Xinlian was very happy because train tickets to the north were particularly difficult to buy during the Spring Festival. She happily packed her luggage and said she wanted to give her family a surprise, so she did not send a telegram."
In 1981, long-distance calls were very expensive. Zhai Xinlian's family ran a small grocery store and probably didn't have the money to install a phone. Zhai Xinlian usually contacted her family by writing letters, and sent telegrams for urgent matters. She got the ticket on the 15th, left on the 17th, and arrived home on the 18th. If she wrote a letter on the 15th, she might have arrived before the letter arrived, so Zhai Xinlian said she had a surprise for her family.
Zhao Xiangwan felt heavy-hearted after hearing this. In those days, transportation and communication were not convenient, which led to so many stories of joy and sorrow.
Jia Shendu also took advantage of these loopholes to remain at large.
At this point, the three agreed that whether there would be a breakthrough would depend on the results of Gao Guangqiang's investigation. If Jia Shendu's hometown could find witnesses to prove that Jia Shendu arrived in Changhan County on the evening of the 17th and arrived in Jiajia Village, Mayuan Township on the 18th, and that Zhai Xinlian was with him, then Jia Shendu would have no way to defend himself.
After all, such a living person can't just disappear into thin air, right?
When Zhao Xiangwan took out the photo taken by Shi Tong, Zhu Feipeng and He Mingyu came to the photo, took out a magnifying glass and looked at it for a long time, but they could not determine whether the man in the plaid coat behind the two Kyoto experts was Jia Shendu.
The portrait is really too small.
The three people were sighing when Ji Zhao reached out and took the photo from Zhu Feipeng and examined it carefully.
A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Zhao Xiangwan's heart: "Ji Zhao, can you tell if the person in this photo is Jia Shendu?"
Ji Zhao's eyes were like a scanner, extremely accurate, and he nodded very firmly.
【It's him.】
Zhao Xiangwan was surprised and delighted: "How did you figure that out?"
Ji Zhao's words were still concise.
【Bone structure.】
Everyone's skeleton and body shape are different, and ordinary people cannot tell. But for Ji Zhao, he can tell who the person is with just one glance, even if it's just a back view.
Although Ji Zhao had never met Jia Shendu, Gu Zhiguang brought a few work notes of Jia Shendu when he came to report last time, and Ji Zhao had already written them down.
So, professionals do professional things!
Unexpectedly, the most important evidence and the biggest breakthrough fell on Ji Zhao.
Zhao Xiangwan shouted with joy, jumped up excitedly, and reached out to hug Ji Zhao: "That's great! You don't even have to wait for Gu Zhiguang to enlarge the photo, you can just draw it directly!"
Ji Zhao was hugged tightly by her, his heart pounding with joy, his hands hanging stiffly, not daring to move, for fear that if he moved, Zhao Xiangwan would let go of him and stop hugging him.
I ran around outside all day today. I was really tired, hot and exhausted. But I asked a lot of questions and took a full notebook of notes, but there was no substantial breakthrough.
In the murder of Dai Minli in 1975, there was no record of the on-site investigation; Jia Shendu's alibi was perfect; Jiang Yuchun was speechless and had no way to redress his injustice.
1981年1月17日翟欣蓮失蹤案中，賈慎獨将自己摘得很幹淨，也沒人懷疑與他有關，最多只有零星半點學生的反應，說賈慎獨與翟欣蓮關系不太好。但即使翟欣蓮不太喜歡賈慎獨，但依然尊重老師，服從導師安排。
1981年1月23日發生的施桐跳樓一案中，并沒有實際的證明能夠将施桐的死與賈慎獨聯系起來，唯一的一張照片只能證明1月17號上午施桐到過火車站，不能證明施桐見過賈慎獨，也沒有人能證明賈慎獨在1月23日中午12點左右去過設計院。
你看，明明所有的懷疑都指向賈慎獨，趙向晚也從賈慎獨的內心獨白中能夠确定他有殺過人，但是……由于時代久遠，完全找不到實際有效、一錘子将賈慎獨釘在恥辱柱上的證據。
現在，證據來了！
季昭說，這張照片上指甲蓋大小的人影是賈慎獨。
趙向晚一時之間難掩心中激動，難得地熱情主動了一回，一把将季昭抱住。可是暖意滿懷之後，趙向晚感覺臉龐有些發熱，趕緊松開手，微笑而立，安靜地看着季昭。
這一個擁抱來得突然，季昭完全反應不過來。
可是，趙向晚洶湧澎湃的熱情與興奮，他準确地感受到了。
片刻的呆滞之後，季昭緩緩擡起手，舉着那張照片。
【我來畫。】
因為這張照片，趙向晚給了他一個大大的擁抱，季昭的內心升起熊熊的創作欲望，二話不說，轉身回到自己的繪圖桌前，投入到忘我的繪畫之中。
朱飛鵬、何明玉聽不到季昭心中所想，交換了一個眼神，有點糊塗，一起看着臉蛋紅紅的趙向晚：“怎麽回事？”
在他倆的印象中，趙向晚生性冷靜沉穩，不喜歡與人身體接觸，就算她在與季昭談戀愛，也不至于當衆如此主動熱情。
事出反常必有妖，兩人決定問清楚。
趙向晚定了定心神，眼睛裏綻放着極亮的光芒：“季昭說，從骨相上可以斷定這人是賈慎獨。雖然照片不夠清晰，但他可以畫出來。”
朱飛鵬與何明玉異口同聲：“真是賈慎獨？”
趙向晚非常信任季昭：“是。”
朱飛鵬一拍大腿：“好家夥，這貨拿出15號的火車票說已經離開星市回老家，實際上卻在17號出現在星市火車站廣場上，他在說謊！”
何明玉也高興起來：“太好了，終于有了點突破。”
重案組辦公室的日光燈很亮，照得屋子亮堂堂的。
屋子裏飄着一股松節油的味道，這是季昭在調色繪圖。
要将一張小小的黑白照片畫成實景圖，需要非常細致、敏銳的觀察力，以及穩定、娴熟的繪畫技巧。
季昭恰好都有。
趙向晚給自己倒了杯涼茶，端着杯子坐在季昭對面，看着他工作。
朱飛鵬與何明玉等了一個小時，卻發現季昭半點沒有挪窩的跡象，右手依然拿着油畫筆，在畫架上勾勒、描畫，覺得挺沒意思，便回宿舍洗洗刷刷，等到一身清爽再回到辦公室，發現辦公桌上放着兩張油彩未幹的圖畫。
兩張？
朱飛鵬湊近來看，不由得瞳孔一縮，叫了一聲：“好家夥！”
不像是手繪，完全就是兩張一模一樣的16寸的放大照片。
火車站廣場前，尖頂的鐘樓、兩名表情嚴肅的京都專家、擁擠的人群……和從施桐家裏拿回來的照片纖毫不差。
兩張看上去一模一樣的圖片，唯一不同的，是專家身後的那道穿着格子大衣的瘦小人影，一個和照片保持一致，後腦勺對着鏡頭，而另一個則把頭略偏了一偏，露出半張臉來。
就是這半張臉，讓人一眼就能認出來——這人是賈慎獨！
雖然是黑白照片，但因為顏色不同，灰度會有所變化，這個人側臉看得出來有一點點地包天，眼睛微眯，鼻頭略塌，臉頰還有幾點深深淺淺的痘印，只要是見過賈慎獨的人，都能認出來！
朱飛鵬的眼睛也亮了起來：“季昭，你這也太厲害了吧？”
如果把那張露出半邊臉的照片拿出去，恐怕湘省大學建築學院的師生看到了，誰都會說一句：這不就是賈老師嗎？
朱飛鵬激動地在屋子裏開始轉圈圈。
誰說沒有證據？這不就是證據嗎？
就算有過微小改動，但只要在審訊中拿出來，絕對可以擊破賈慎獨的心理防線！
朱飛鵬與何明玉擊掌歡呼：“太好了！”
趙向晚與季昭相視一笑。
接下來，不斷有新的消息傳來。
祝康、艾輝來到翟欣蓮老家調查，得知翟欣蓮的父親因病去世，其母親與弟弟一直保留着翟欣蓮的房間，等待她回到家來。
翟欣蓮的母親見到警察，淚眼婆娑，哀求他們一定要找回翟欣蓮，她哭着說只要人回來就好，不管被拐到哪裏，不管是不是結婚生子，不管身體是不是有了殘疾，只要她活着，一切都好。
祝康與艾輝心裏很不是滋味，帶回來幾張翟欣蓮的生活照，并一再保證只要有消息，第一時間通知翟母與弟弟。
高廣強、黃元德來到賈慎獨老家調查時，卻遇到了阻礙。
賈慎獨是地方名人，都知道他年少有才，考進省城大學，留校當了老師，然後成為全國聞名的大教授，賈家村的人一提起賈慎獨，都豎大拇指稱贊。
“賈慎獨？那可是我們村裏最有出息的人！”
“他這名字取得好，是我們村裏老秀才取的，特別有文化，所以他從小就像是文曲星下凡，特別會讀書。”
“他賺了錢之後也沒忘記村裏人，從麻源鄉到賈家村那條水泥路，就是他出錢修的，有良心喲。”
問及1981年春節前的事情，所有人都警惕起來。
“1981年啊……好像是回來了，聽說是大學放寒假，有什麽不對？”
“和誰一起回來的？一個人。”
“這都過去十幾年的事情了，你們警察吃飽飯沒事幹吧？”
高廣強是個經驗豐富的老刑警，知道越是偏僻鄉村，村民越團結，有些婦女被拐案之所以很難偵破，就是因為這裏的人抱成團，對外封鎖消息。
不過也不是完全沒有收獲。
高廣強道：“有村民提到過，賈慎獨81年春節前的确翻修過老屋。那年他爺爺得了病，賈慎獨回來後說風水出了問題，得翻修茅廁和豬圈，折騰了一陣。”
趙向晚暗暗點頭：對了！那茅廁底下，埋着翟欣蓮的屍骨。
可是，用什麽辦法讓大家相信這一點，并通過合理合規的方法去開挖呢？
何明玉問：“村裏人團結不說實話，但昌漢縣城應該不至于都偏向賈慎獨吧？17號晚上在縣城下車之後，總得找旅館落腳吧？難道沒有人知道賈慎獨在哪裏休息？”
高廣強搖頭：“我問過，賈慎獨有一個姐姐嫁到昌漢縣火車站附近，在那
裏做點小生意，他應該是在他姐姐家落腳。”
何明玉繼續問：“那他那個姐姐呢？”
高廣強道：“也奇怪，1981年之後，賈家像被詛咒過一樣，賈慎獨的爺爺奶奶、母親先後去世，那個在火車站做小生意的三姐也重病去世。”
“那他三姐夫呢？”
“聽說還着孩子們離開了昌漢縣，如果要找的話，還得請當地公安局協查。”
“其餘幾個姐姐呢？”
“還剩下大姐、二姐和四姐，三個姐姐都嫁得不遠，話裏話外很維護賈慎獨，對1981年春節的事情都說不太記得了。”
高廣強皺眉道：“賈慎獨的老家恐怕還得再去一趟，我的感覺呢，他的家人、村裏人似乎都知道些什麽，但是不肯說。但現在我們什麽證據都沒有，也不好過深地交流。所以我和黃元德先回來，等大家碰過頭之後再來制定下一步工作計劃。”
黃元德補充：“是的，我和老高的判斷一樣，村裏人有事瞞着。”
高廣強道：“我們這次到賈家村調查，恐怕已經驚動了賈慎獨，我的建議是，尋找證據，迅速對賈慎獨進行傳喚。”
重案一組迅速行動，将賈慎獨“請”到市局。
傳喚時間不能超過十二個小時，重案一組所有人都知道，這将是一場硬仗！
戴敏麗被殺案的資料；
翟欣蓮失蹤案的卷宗；
施桐自殺案的所有調查記錄。
全部文字材料都整整齊齊撂在桌面，以便于随時調閱。
賈慎獨被帶到市局之時，正在辦公室奮筆疾書，看到警察的到來，似乎并不意外。
坐在審訊室裏的鐵椅中，看着牆上那“坦白從寬、抗拒從嚴”八個大字，嘴角依然帶着嘲諷的微笑。
只有看到坐在一旁的趙向晚時，他的表情才有了一絲變化。
【這個姑娘，曾經罵過我醜，我記得。我現在正做項目沒時間對付她，如果讓我找到機會，我會讓你死得很難看。】
前面說要對付“她”，後面變得讓“你”死得難看。賈慎獨這種內心的轉換，說明他已經将趙向晚列為“必死”名單。
趙向晚聽到他惡毒的心聲，垂下眼簾，沒有說話。在心裏默默地回了一句：你不會再有機會！
許嵩嶺已經升任局長，這次的主審是高廣強、朱飛鵬，做筆錄的是何明玉，而趙向晚則坐在何明玉身旁，随時協助。
高廣強第一個抛出來的問題，并不在賈慎獨意料之中。
“你和戴敏麗是怎麽認識的？”
賈慎獨聽到這個問題，有些恍神，機械性的回答：“1974年年底的時候，我回老家，村裏人幫忙介紹的。我看她漂亮純樸，便同意交往，很快就訂了親，把她從鄉下帶了出來。”
高廣強年過五十，面容慈祥，一身警服穿在身上，給人的感覺很有親和力，他問話的态度也有點像拉家常，從某種程度上舒緩了賈慎獨的警惕心。
“戴敏麗能夠從農村來到城市，還能夠在大學安排個正式工作，都是你的功勞，對吧？”
賈慎獨的情緒有了一些波動，眼睑微微抽動：“對。”
高廣強的眼中透着同情：“那她為什麽不感恩你的付出，反而要找個年輕小夥子？”
賈慎獨擡起頭，目光與高廣強相對：“那，你要問她。”
高廣強沒有生氣，溫和地回答：“可惜，她已經死了，我也沒辦法問到她。”
賈慎獨的目光裏帶着陰恻恻的味道：“是啊，已經死了。”
【該死！沒廉恥的女人，死得好，死得妙！敢拿我當跳板進城，再找個小白臉鬼混，那就不要怪我無情無義。】
高廣強不急不惱，繼續問：“你什麽時候知道她與姜遇春有私情的？”
這個問題裏，其實有個陷阱。
當年賈慎獨說過，在戴敏麗被殺之前，他根本不知道她出軌，因此才會有後面的憤怒表現。
賈慎獨記性很好，似笑非笑地看着高廣強：“直到那天晚上戴敏麗沒有回家，我和隔壁鄰居們一起去尋人，才知道她和姜遇春勾搭成奸。”
不愧是大學教授，事情過去十七年，回答問題依然無懈可擊。
高廣強點頭“嗯”了一聲，“發現屍體的小樹林距離人行道有多遠？”
賈慎獨愣了一下，這個問題以前沒有問過他，目光無意識地轉向右上方，這代表思考，某些時候代表編造謊言：“二、三十米左右吧。”
高廣強态度很誠懇：“當時是淩晨，天黑，又冷，大家都順着路找，你怎麽想到往那裏去找？”
賈慎獨的目光一凜，整個人坐直了一些，看來，高廣強的問題正擊中了他的內心，讓他不得不打起精神來應對。
趙向晚回想走訪餘衡時，問到三個不合理：第一，教學向來态度應付的賈慎獨從11月底開始每天固定晚上六點半出門，九點半回家，好像是特意給戴敏麗機會。第二，要面子的賈慎獨大張旗鼓地帶着隔壁鄰居到姜遇春宿舍，好像是演給大家看的。第三，那麽多人都沒想到要去西北角那個小樹林，偏偏賈慎獨找到了那裏。
當時沒人懷疑賈慎獨，畢竟那個年代偷情本就會坐牢，他找人把戴敏麗、姜遇春一捆扭送到派出所，就能達到報複的目的，何必多此一舉去殺人？因此這些不合理，也就沒有人提起。
現在終于借高廣強之口把問題抛出來，趙向晚身體向後一靠，後背貼着椅背，安靜等待着賈慎獨的答案。
【這狗警察眼睛好毒！沒有人質疑過這個問題，應該怎麽答？難道說我趁着上廁所的間隙出來，守在這段路上，等那□□過來，一把将她拖到路邊，一根褲腰帶就勒死了她？我為什麽能找到她？當然是因為我把她藏在那裏，等着那些蠢貨們發現，只可惜走過兩遍這條路，沒一個人發現。當時只怕被人看到，後來倒是怕人看不到。】
趙向晚鳳眼微眯，收斂住眼中寒光：狗東西，果然是他殺的！
賈慎獨幹笑了一笑：“警察同志，事情過去十幾年，兇手早已伏法，你突然問這麽細的問題，還真是不記得了。那個小樹林就在路邊不遠，也許是手電筒的光晃過去的時候我看到了什麽？也許是找了那麽久一直沒看到人我下意識地往黑處、暗處看？總之……也算是冥冥中自有天意，讓我們找到敏麗的屍體，把姜遇春這個兇手抓住！”
高廣強有他審訊的特點，那就是穩。
不管賈慎獨怎麽回話，高廣強總是不急不慢，按照他自己的節奏慢慢詢問。
“你真覺得，兇手是姜遇春？”
“當然！我相信法律是公正的。”
“有沒有一種可能，有人殺了戴敏麗，然後嫁禍姜遇春？”
“就是他殺的。”
“戴敏麗出軌，看上比你有力量、比你長得好看的小夥子，你作為她的枕邊人，竟然一點端倪都不知道？我是不信的。”
賈慎獨的臉色變得難看起來。
高廣強慢悠悠地說：“愛美之心人皆有之，戴敏麗當初看上你，願意和你結婚，是因為看上你是城裏人，能夠把她帶到城裏，吃上城市統銷糧。目的達到之後，她在花圃上班看上一起工作的精壯小夥。姜遇春雖然是個臨時工，但架不住他長得好啊，我聽說他倆床上還挺協調，不少人都看得出來兩人郞有情妾有意，背後議論紛紛，難道……你就沒聽說些什麽？”
賈慎獨的目光裏似乎帶着毒刺，死死盯着高廣強。
【他怎麽敢呢？就這樣把這些醜事說出來。那就是個不要臉的女人！她該死！我殺了她又怎樣？哼！敢過河拆橋算計我，老子讓你沒命享這個福！敢和我的老婆上床，老子讓你背一世罵名吃槍子兒！】
趙向晚已經能夠确認賈慎獨殺人，現在關鍵是要找出有用的線索。聽他一直在內心咒罵，拿出一支鋼筆，輕輕拔動筆帽，發出輕輕而有節奏的“咔嗒咔嗒”之聲。
高廣強聽到這一聲咔嗒聲，加快了問話節奏。
“紅圍巾真是戴敏麗的？”
“是的。”
咔嗒、咔嗒。
“藍色棉毛衫真是姜遇春的？”
“是的。”
咔嗒、咔嗒。
“戴敏麗是你殺的？”
“是的。”
咔嗒、咔嗒。
高廣強忽然停下問話，看着賈慎獨。
賈慎獨這個時候才意識到自己說了實話，張口結舌，憤怒地叫了起來：“不是！不是！我沒有！戴敏麗是姜遇春殺的，這個法院都已經審過，怎麽可能錯誤。”
高廣強板着臉：“剛才你已承認殺人事實。”
賈慎獨陡然站起，卻發現自己雙手被手铐固定在鐵椅上，氣得叫了起來：“誰讓你們铐我的？我是大學教授，是國家高級人才，我犯了什麽事，你們要铐我？我承認了什麽？我什麽也沒有承認！是你們在那裏咔嗒咔嗒地吵，害得我神智不清，所以才說錯了話。”
高廣強的面色漸漸沉了下去：“為了防止你做出自殘或行兇，我們有權力把你铐起來。你放心，你做過什麽，老天都記着呢。”
賈慎獨開始心慌，他用手捶着椅子扶手，發出“哐、哐！”聲響，冰冷的手铐閃着寒光，讓他感覺到了不妙。
【我做了那麽多你們所說的惡事，從來就沒有得到一絲懲罰。
朱從嶺那麽有名的教授，我說打就打、說吐口水就吐口水，反剪雙手、剃陰陽頭，那又怎麽樣？沒有一個人敢與我對抗！後來朱老師一死，我做過的那些事便封存起來，拿項目、評職稱、帶研究生，誰敢當面嗆一句？
戴敏麗喜歡年輕漂亮小夥子？哈哈，我讓他們黃泉路上結夫妻。怎麽樣呢？沒有一個人覺得是我殺的，連法院都站在我這邊。
這年頭，人善被人欺、馬善被人騎，只要你夠惡，就沒人能欺負到你！】
在高校那個相對單純的環境裏，面對的都是溫良、寬厚的知識分子，陰狠的賈慎獨憑着那點小聰明、小手段混得順風順水。今天被警察抓住審訊，面對着一屋子的橄榄綠，他終于感覺到了國法的尊嚴。
“你們要做什麽？不要搞那套嚴刑逼供！你們問戴敏麗的事做什麽？人都死了十幾年，法院已經審理認定兇手，現在休要逼我承認什麽。她是姜遇春殺的！我和她感情很好，敏麗怎麽可能舍得和我分手？我要學歷有學歷，要文化有文化，豈是姜遇春那個窮小子、臨時工能比的？敏麗不想和他好，姜遇春所以動手殺人，他才是兇手！”
色厲內荏。
趙向晚看出來了賈慎獨此刻內心已經發虛。
咔嗒、咔嗒。
撥動鋼筆筆帽發出的聲音清脆且響亮，在略顯空曠的審訊室裏引發回響，令本就心虛的賈慎獨內心愈發恐慌。
他努力定住心神。
深呼吸，長籲氣……
【不要慌，不要怕，警察辦案講究的是證據。只要我不承認，誰也不能定我的罪！】
朱飛鵬忽然開口說話。
"Teacher Jia, in which year did you apply for the master's degree?"
This question was simple and related to Jia Shendu's work, not the case. Jia Shendu's attention was immediately diverted: "1978."
"You were already 30 years old that year, right? Why did you start supervising graduate students so late?"
"The college entrance examination was not resumed until 1978, and the postgraduate entrance examination was resumed in 1978, so I didn't get the qualification of a master's supervisor until 1978."
“How many graduate students do you recruit every year?”
"At the beginning, there were few students, so I only taught one every year. Later, as the number of enrollments increased, I taught two to three every year."
"What was the name of the graduate student recruited in 1979?"
Jia Shendu suddenly stopped.
Click. Click.
The voice rang again, as if urging him to answer quickly.
Jia Shendu suddenly raised his head, looking at Zhao Xiangwan with a fierce look in his eyes: "Stop adjusting the pen cap! Your noise is so loud! It's giving me a headache."
Click. Click.
Zhao Xiangwan continued to dial, seemingly not hearing what he said.
People like Jia Shendu, who think they have everything under control, particularly hate things that are beyond their control, such as unusual noises.
Jia Shendu was unable to stop Zhao Xiangwan. He was so angry that his chest heaved up and down, and his emotions began to get out of control.
Zhu Feipeng raised his voice and said in a sharp voice: "Tell me, who is she?!"
Jia Shendu was defeated and took a long time to say, "Zhai, Zhai Xinlian."
Zhu Feipeng asked: "Where is she?"
Jia Shendu learned his lesson this time: "I don't know."
This is the first time that Jia Shendu has answered with the three words "I don't know" during the interrogation.
If he is cunning enough, he will say "I don't know" at the beginning instead of answering the question.
Zhao Xiangwan's heart gradually relaxed after hearing this. The reason why Jia Shendu has been able to stay in the dark until today is not because of his strong anti-detection ability, but because he is in a university. It is a place where intellectuals gather, students respect teachers and respect the authority of teachers, it is a palace of knowledge, a beautiful ivory tower.
He bullied his colleagues, and the teachers avoided him, at most scolding him and giving him the nickname Jia Banlun.
He bullied students, who dared not to retort and could only endure it silently. Some of them dropped out of school or committed suicide by jumping off a building.
It wasn't because he was so powerful, but because the people he faced were too docile.
Like a wolf rushing into a flock of sheep.
The wolf ate sheep after sheep, thinking himself to be mighty and proud. But he forgot one thing: if a hunter appeared, he would be dead for sure!
Zhao Xiangwan gained confidence and winked at Zhu Feipeng.
After receiving Zhao Xiangwan's signal, Zhu Feipeng's eyes lit up. Very good, Zhao Xiangwan let him continue, which meant that Jia Shendu was not difficult to entangle.
Zhu Feipeng picked up the file: "In the case of Zhai Xinlian's disappearance, you told the police that you bought a train ticket to return home on January 15, 1981, right?"
Jia Shendu nodded: "Yes."
Zhu Feipeng asked: "Where were you on the morning of January 17, 1981?"
Jia Shendu was stunned for a moment, his eyes unconsciously looking to the lower right: "I, I should be home, right?"
Zhu Feipeng slammed the file in his hand down hard.
There was a "pop!" sound.
Jia Shendu's shoulders trembled.
Zhu Feipeng narrowed his eyes, a cold light flashed in his eyes: "You are lying!"
Jia Shendu looked up at Zhu Feipeng, and his previous arrogant attitude instantly disappeared: "No, I didn't lie. Eleven years have passed, how can I still remember what I did that day."
Zhu Feipeng sneered, slowly took out a white photo frame from his file bag, and turned it upside down on the table: "Think about it carefully, where were you on January 17, 1981?"
Jia Shendu's eyes slid towards the photo frame, and an ominous premonition came over him.
[What is that? What is that? Shi Tong was taking pictures with a broken camera that day. Could I be in the picture? Could they have dug it out from Shi Tong's house? That person has been dead for so long, why is he still haunting? I thought all his belongings were burned after his death, so how could they still be here? That country girl is so hateful. I should have pushed her down the stairs and said she committed suicide for love...]
Zhu Feipeng shouted fiercely: "Tell me! Where are you?"
Jia Shendu hurriedly shook his head: "I don't remember."
Zhu Feipeng sneered again, and his laughter made Jia Shendu feel inexplicably fearful.
Click. Click.
Zhao Xiangwan clicked the pen cap again.
Jia Shendu shouted: "I really don't remember!"
