This is a lightless room, all the curtains are drawn, and the air conditioner is blaring, making the whole room like an icebox.
The woman wrapped in a thick quilt walked through the bedroom, stood in the living room and listened quietly for a while for the knock on the door, then walked to Cat's Eye to check outside. The
young male policeman stood outside the door, holding up his ID stupidly, asking the owner inside to open the door to welcome the guests.
Annie wrapped the quilt tighter, turned on the light with a click, turned her head to look at her room, and sniffed again.
"Hello, police, please open the door and cooperate--" The male policeman outside the door was still chattering.
Annie's eyes swept towards the kitchen again. She walked slowly to the kitchen, picked up something on the knife rack, pulled out the kitchen knife, walked to the sofa, and hid the kitchen knife under the sofa cushion.
Then she walked to the door, opened it and stared at the policeman, "Sir, it's so early, what's the matter?"
"Excuse me, is this Ms. Guo Shuni?" The young policeman standing outside the door, whose facial features were not very regular but still handsome, put away his police officer ID and asked seriously.
"It's me."
"I have a few questions to ask, please open the door." Liu Jiaming smiled. It is the duty of these citizens who are closely related to the case to cooperate in recording their statements. If Guo Shuni refused Liu Jiaming to enter the door, she would be summoned to the police station.
Guo Shuni scratched her long hair, which seemed to have just woken up and had not had time to comb. Although she looked unhappy, she still opened the door.
Guo Shuni walked in front and took a seat on the sofa. She had no intention of pouring water for Liu Jiaming, nor did she have the courtesy to greet the guest. She just stared at Liu Jiaming with her eyes, as if thinking about something.
Although this room is a single-family house, it is also very small and crowded. Guo Shuni sat on the right side of the small double sofa, so he could only sit on the left side.
Once they sat down, their knees were touching, and he had to move back to create some distance.
Guo Shuni was taller than he thought. Although she was a pretty girl, she actually looked very heroic, even a bit masculine.
"Sir, what's the matter? You are disturbing my sleep so early in the morning." The little girl leaned on the sofa, wrapped herself tightly in a thick quilt, and looked like she would fall asleep at any time.
"Do you know Zhong Chuantao?" Liu Jiaming put the notebook on his knees, ready to take notes.
"Yes, that unlucky guy, why mention him? He's dead, why bother the police because of him?" Guo Shuni's eyes fell on the notebook in Liu Jiaming's hand.
"Excuse me, what were you doing 8 days ago?"
"I lost my job, and my boyfriend became someone else. What else could I do? I got drunk at home." Guo Shuni snorted, looking unhappy.
Liu Jiaming had just asked the old watchman downstairs, and the other party's answer was that Guo Shuni had been getting drunk at home for a long time.
This answer is very consistent.
"Is there anyone who can prove that you are at home?"
"The old watchman, who else could it be? I am drinking and sleeping at home, do I need someone to prove it? Ha."
"Be polite."
"Sir, you are not suspicious of me, are you?" Guo Shuni suddenly raised his eyes to look at Liu Jiaming, and pressed his hand under his butt. Through the sofa cushion, he could feel something hard hidden there.
"It's just a routine questioning. If you have no guilty conscience, just cooperate and record your statement. It won't take you too much time."
Noticing the unexpected coldness in the room, which was just like the forensic officer's autopsy room, Liu Jiaming tightened his clothes and did not comment or ask questions. He only took the opportunity to secretly look around when Guo Shuni turned his eyes away from him.
"You broke up with Zhong Chuantao in a very dishonorable way. Do you hate him very much?" Liu Jiaming continued to ask.
"I hate him very much. I wish he would die. Isn't it good? It seems that God heard my prayers and gave him retribution. Wasn't he killed by gang members?" Guo Shuni spoke in a natural way while paying attention to Liu Jiaming's expression.
"How do you know he was killed by gang members?" Liu Jiaming asked.
"It's written in the newspaper." Guo Shuni pointed to the newspaper on the table.
Liu Jiaming looked down and saw a very thick stack. It was obvious that she had bought all the major newspapers in recent days.
When Eleventh Sister was teaching criminal psychology, she mentioned that a murderer who planned to kill someone would often pay close attention to the follow-up of the case, and would even return to the crime scene to observe the police's investigation progress. Is it possible that Guo Shuni is the murderer, so she bought so many newspapers?
Or is she just paying more attention because her ex-boyfriend was killed?
"How did you and Zhong Chuantao get to know each other?"
"It was at the Jin Kaili nightclub. The territory controlled by his father is very close to here. As the saying goes, rabbits do not eat grass near the burrow. He can't have fun in his own nightclub, so he likes to come to Jin Kaili. I used to sell wine there, so I got to know him."
"I heard that he pursued you for a long time before you agreed?" Liu Jiaming asked while observing Anime's expression.
"..." Anime was silent for a long time when asked this question. The amplitude of her chest rise and fall gradually became larger, and her breathing became a little rapid. But after a while, she gradually calmed down, turned her head to look at Liu Jiaming, and said: "Yes, I didn't like him at that time, so he pursued me for a long time."
"Do you have someone else you like?" Liu Jiaming asked with a raised eyebrow.
Anime frowned slightly, gritted her teeth, and closed her eyes tightly. Suddenly, as if she had met someone she could confide in, she started talking:
"Sir, men are all bad, did you know? I originally liked a bodyguard in Jin Kaili's nightclub. Although everyone was afraid of him, I seemed to be able to see gentleness and chivalry under his vulgar appearance... But rabbits don't eat grass near the nest, and he won't eat my grass either. I thought, when I save enough money, I will move to another place and come back to pursue him. But before I saved enough money, Zhong Chuantao suddenly appeared."
"Yeah." Liu Jiaming nodded calmly, but in his heart he praised himself for his calmness.
He got the information from his visit last night: Guo Shu Ni once liked the suspect Bald D in this case!
He was really amazing, he connected this gossip!
And he was able to pretend that he didn't know, what a competent detective.
"Do you know how many tricks a man can use when chasing a girl? Tai Tzu Tao, the only son of the leader of the Yihui, has so many nightclubs and massage parlors in Kowloon, they will all be his in the future. Such a person, who comes to pick me up from night shift every day, buys me expensive bags, gives me big red envelopes, buys me flowers every day... Doesn't he know how many days it takes to display flowers before they wither? My vase can't hold any more, so I have to give the newly received flowers to my sisters, it's so face-saving, sir.
"In just over a week, he has spent tens of thousands of yuan on me. How much money would I get if I could be his girlfriend?
" "I'm just an ordinary person. After a long time, I couldn't resist.
" "He also rented this house. He also bought me a car and parked it downstairs. I haven't even had the chance to get my driver's license, and he already has a new lover.
" "It seemed like he was looking at me affectionately yesterday, making me feel that he only loved me. I don't think I'm a fool and I won't be easily fooled, but I really thought he loved me very much, but I didn't know it was all a lie?"
"Because you can't accept it, so you keep pestering him?" Liu Jiaming frowned, "Jin Kaili's security guard said that you scratched his car, blocked him at the door of the nightclub, and slapped him when he was not prepared? "
Ha, more than that, I kicked him a few times afterwards, but no one saw it." Animei suddenly laughed, as if she remembered something worth being happy about.
Liu Jiaming stared at her for a few seconds, and suddenly reached for his waist.
Animei, who was originally laughing, fixed her eyes, and her hand quietly passed through the thick quilt covering her body, got into the sofa cushion, and grasped the handle of the kitchen knife.
But Liu Jiaming just scratched his itch, then withdrew his hand and continued to ask: "Do you know if Bald D and Zhong Chuantao have any personal grudges?"
"I don't know, sir, Bald D is just a lackey, and he will kill if the boss wants him to kill."
"So you think it was Bald D who helped the boss kill the heir of his competitor? "Liu Jiaming looked through the kitchen door, but could not find the kitchen knife that every household must have on the small chopping board and knife rack.
"I don't know, sir, we citizens will see it as the newspaper says." The nimei withdrew her hand holding the knife handle, and glanced at the waist that Liu Jiaming had just touched - the man's shirt was tucked into his pants, and the belt and the gun holster on the belt were so bright that it could not be ignored.
The sunlight gradually became brighter, and even though the curtains were drawn in the room, it still stubbornly penetrated the thick fabric and sprinkled in, interlacing with the light, casting two contradictory shadows on each object in the room.
The temperature outside was rising, but the room was still cold, and Liu Jiaming even shuddered unconsciously.
...
…
The B team office was very deserted this morning. The other agents were outside collecting confessions. Only Jiayi, who was arranged by Brother Yue to rest yesterday, did not have any visiting assignments for the time being.
She went to the Forensic Department. Sir Xu had dark circles under his eyes. He looked a little groggy today, maybe because he had a nightmare and didn’t sleep well last night. But he didn’t ask for leave and rushed over to work urgently.
When Jiayi arrived, Sir Xu was with two assistants, testing a test sample with the same hardness as the human skull. , testing several models of chain balls.
As soon as Jiayi arrived, Sir Xu immediately called her over.
The assistants had different strength levels, and they had all tried to use the chain ball to hit people's skulls. It was basically confirmed that the murderer used the lightest and smallest chain ball with a diameter of 9.5cm for women.
But there is a problem that the strength is not right. These assistants hold knives and work every day, and most of them exercise after work. The depth and degree of injury are more serious than Zhong Chuantao.
"Eleven, you try it. "Sir Xu handed the small chain ball to Jiayi and asked her to try it.
Jiayi prepared to do the test with safety measures under the instruction of Sir Xu.
The different postures of throwing and swinging the chain ball will exert different strengths, which is not only related to the strength level of the person who exerts it.
Jiayi held the chain ball and recalled the action of Annie Mei hitting Zhong Chuantao's forehead with the chain ball in the flow image.
Because Because the room was not big, the murderer could not make the chain ball into a circle. He could only stand up and try to rely on gravity to drop it down from a high position...
Recalling all the actions of the Animei, Jiayi picked up the chain ball, stood up straight, leaned forward slightly, raised the chain ball, and then slammed the chain ball at the simulation. After
a loud bang, the chain ball rolled down.
Xu Junhao bent down to pick up the chain ball and walked to the simulation at the first time.
"Ruler." He stretched his hand back.
The assistant immediately handed the ruler to his palm.
After squatting down to measure the diameter and depth of the wound, Xu Junhao looked up in disbelief and said to Jiayi:
"Almost exactly the same!"
"The murderer is likely a woman with the same strength as me. "Yi Jiayi exercises every day, so she is quite strong.
Recalling Animei's height and other appearance, she added:
"Because I'm a police officer, I do muscle exercises every day. Ordinary women don't have such high-intensity exercise, so the murderer may be a woman who is naturally strong, or a man with less strength. Based on this body shape, can we judge it as a tall and strong woman, and a thin or fat and weak man?"
"That's roughly it." Xu Junhao nodded, holding the chain ball and thinking for a while, he raised his head and looked at Jiayi, "I'll go write the autopsy report and the test report. I will make two copies, one that is open to the public, and one that only a few of us can see."
"Thank you for your hard work, Sir Xu. "Jiayi thanked.
"Alas." Xu Junhao suddenly sighed, "I always thought that the work of a police officer was very simple, as if it was less professional than my job, and had no threshold or technical content. Now it seems that this is really a job that requires both technology and courage and faith. "
No wonder many people want to change their careers after working as a police officer for a period of time, obviously the salary of a police officer is very high...
"Of course, being a police officer is not an easy job." Jiayi immediately smiled and raised her thumb, raising her eyebrows proudly.
Her playful look made Xu Junhao dispel the haze brought about by self-denial after being frightened yesterday.
"I dare not eat the chocolate that Sir Xu froze in the freezer where the corpse was placed. Sir Xu would be afraid even if he entered a dragon's den and a tiger's den. We are even. "Jia Yi walked up to Sir Xu, raised her eyebrows, widened her eyes, and whispered.
When Xu Junhao heard this, he remembered that Jia Yi was also shocked because he took out chocolate from the freezer for her to eat.
She felt comforted.
Jia Yi smiled and imitated the way Fang Zhenyue comforted them. She patted Xu Junhao's arm before saying goodbye.
She turned around and prepared to go to the Forensic Department to see if the test report was out, and suddenly received a call from Qiu Susan.
Madam Qiu was outside on a visiting mission, and Sir Fang went to Lamma Island to see the bald D. No matter whether it was Group B or the people brought by Madam Qiu from O Ji, they were arranged outside. Today, only Yi Jia Yi was left in the office.
"Jiayi, the people who were following Zhong Dazhi saw Manniu taking Zhong Dazhi's daughter Zhong Chuanjie out on the street. We really don't have enough people to follow them here. Can you go over and follow them? If possible, collect their statements at the same time. After all, it was at Zhong Dazhi's home yesterday, with Zhong Dazhi and many other people present. The statements that Zhong Chuanjie and Manniu provided to Fang Zhenyue may not be comprehensive. As a father, Zhong Dazhi will definitely protect his son's reputation and will definitely not tell many things. But Zhong Chuanjie has a different perspective and may say something else." Qiu Susan asked Jiayi on the phone.
"I understand. Manniu is another bodyguard of Prince Tao. Although he was not with Prince Tao on the day he was killed, he should know more about many things about Prince Tao than others. I will go meet them." Yi Jiayi agreed immediately. After asking for the address, she took the car keys and set off. When she
encountered a red light on the road, Jiayi slowly stepped on the brakes and stopped in front of the zebra crossing.
Holding the steering wheel with a frown, she thought about the information about Guo Shuni's home address in the pile of documents that Liu Jiaming gave her in the morning, and she felt anxious.
She was worried about Jiaming going to see Guo Shuni alone, but there was no reason for her to go with him to collect a statement - at this time, no one knew that Guo Shuni was the murderer, and Jiaming was just doing an ordinary visit to people related to Prince Tao.
Moreover, Guo Shuni had his reasons for killing Zhong Chuantao. Unlike an indiscriminate serial killer, he would not want to kill anyone other than his enemies.
Even if Jiaming discovered something, he had a gun on him and had an absolute advantage in force if he was on guard.
When interviewing, do not drink the drinks handed over by the interviewee casually, and be vigilant to all interviewees. This is a basic course that even uniformed police officers understand. Jiaming has been a detective for so long, he must be very cautious and will not give Guo Shuni a chance. Taking
a deep breath, Jiayi still took advantage of the red light time to send a BB call to Liu Jiaming:
[One hour is enough to interview Guo Shuni. If I don’t get a call back from you within one hour, I will call the police. 】
… …
…
At Zhong Dazhi's house, a steward came to the door. He was still receiving guests in a teahouse.
"Mr. Zhong, the former ape gang is arranging boats. Judging from the candidates, their boss Liang Yuexia wants to send Bald D to Wan Wan to hide. Of course, he may also go abroad from Wan Wan." The steward told the news he had found out.
"…" Zhong Dazhi took a sip of tea, closed his eyes and sat for a long time, and then suddenly opened his eyes.
The steward, who was a little lazy while waiting, met Zhong Dazhi's eyes, and instantly straightened up and sat upright.
"Distribute guns and knives to the brothers, and be ready to go to Dongzheng Road to ask Liang Yuexia for people at any time!" Zhong Dazhi's voice was deep, his facial features seemed to be immersed in shadows, and his eyes were as deep as a pool.
"But didn't we agree with the police--" The manager was shocked. What Boss Zhong meant by this was that he was ready to stop Liang Yuexia at any time!
Liang Yuexia wanted to protect Bald D, and Boss Zhong wanted him to hand Bald D over to him. Everyone went over with knives and guns. Didn't they want to solve the problem by force?
But didn't the police say that the murderer was not Bald D, and the former Ape Gang was innocent?
Zhong Dazhi stopped the manager with a wave of his hand and closed his eyes impatiently.
"I understand, Mr. Zhong." The manager immediately stood up, bowed and said goodbye.
When walking out of the tea room, the manager turned his head and glanced at Zhong Dazhi who was still sitting there with his eyes closed. In the morning light, the once ferocious man looked old, but there was still a fearless anger between his brows.
The power that drove Zhong Dazhi to his current position may be the anger that is ready to explode at any time, burning everything, and even feeding himself.
The manager suddenly understood Zhong Dazhi's choice, no longer hesitating, he stepped away to implement Zhong Dazhi's arrangement.
