Even in the interrogation room late at night, with the lights on, it still feels like a cold and icy cellar.
When Xiao Xingyu came in, Xiao Mumu was in a state of non-violent non-cooperation behind the iron railings. As soon as his eyes met Xiao Xingyu, he moved uneasily.
Xiao Xingyu looked at Xiao Mumu. This cousin he had watched grow up was born with a sunny and energetic appearance, fair and handsome, with white eyebrows and bright eyes. It would not be out of place to throw him among the students. It would be distracting to see him sitting here with his hands and feet shackled.
The two police officers in charge of the case, a man and a woman, had met each other many times before. The female officer's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Xingyu, and she immediately stood up and invited him to a table nearby. The male officer, the detachment leader, interlocked their fingers and looked at Xiao Xingyu slowly, saying, "No one in your family cooperates with the police. Is this hereditary?"
In this situation, Xiao Xingyu put on a good face and smiled: "If the law doesn't prohibit it, you can do it, right?"
"Oh, your thoughts are very dangerous!" The male police officer nodded at Xiao Xingyu, spread out the notebook in front of him, and said to Xiao Mumu: "Okay, your brother is here, can we start now?"
"Can you let me talk to Mu Mu first?" Xiao Xingyu interrupted.
The male police officer was stunned for a moment, then raised the pen in his hand and said, "Okay, go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Mumu looked at Xiao Xingyu, and her feet, which were fastened in the chair, shrank slightly.
"Mu Mu, were you responsible for my car accident?" Xiao Xingyu asked directly.
Xiao Mumu was stunned for a moment, his face blank, and denied: "No."
"That's good."
Xiao Xingyu breathed a sigh of relief silently, then leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table, looking at Xiao Mumu sincerely and somewhat sadly, "Mumu, let me apologize to you first.
I didn't realize my existence had caused you so much pain, leading you to this point. Now is a great opportunity for both of us. Tell me everything you need to know. I hope that after today, I can understand your true feelings. Feel free to share everything. It's okay. You didn't directly kill anyone, so you won't receive the death penalty. I also don't believe that all the mistakes you've made so far are solely your fault. Your inner demons were caused by me, so I bear some responsibility. I will definitely hire you the best lawyer, and no matter how many years you're sentenced to, don't worry. I'll prepare assets for you to support your family for the rest of your life."
"Wait, wait!" The male police officer rapped his pen on the table. "Is this your place of arrogance? Can you direct the suspect directly?"
Xiao Xingyu raised his hand: "I'm done, you can ask him now."
"I have something to ask him too!" This time it was Xiao Mumu who interrupted.
The male and female police officers looked at each other. The suspect, who had remained silent, now spoke, which was a good sign.
"Go ahead and ask!" The male policeman gestured in agreement.
Xiao Mumu clenched the handcuffs tightly with all ten fingers and asked Xiao Xingyu: "Did you know it was me a long time ago?"
Xiao Xingyu paused, then admitted with some reluctance: "Yes."
"When? How did you know it was mine?"
"Because you're so abnormal... When did you ask?" Xiao Xingyu thought for a moment and said calmly, "Probably from the time Mo Yan was wrongly accused of stealing the notes. Zhou Xia said she came to the Xiao family for other reasons, and you told me to keep my distance from her!"
Xiao Mumu's pupils trembled as she recalled the scene of Xiao Xingyu bringing Zhang Moyan home from the detention center. That was the first day the notebook was stolen. No, to be precise, it was a few hours after the incident.
He looked at Xiao Xingyu fearfully, and then listened to Xiao Xingyu continue: "Also, after Lin Yin died, I said those notebooks were useless. You couldn't see what you looked like at that time, and you reacted so strongly, you know that?"
Xiao Mumu's face turned pale: "You, did you say that on purpose?"
"What made me most suspicious of you was when Sasa used the game ID to suspect Xiao Huai of being Lin Yin's murderer. We all know what kind of person Xiao Huai is, but when he was suspected of being the murderer, you didn't think it was impossible?"
Hearing this, Xiao Mumu completely lost consciousness, and it took him a long time to regain his breath. He looked at Xiao Xingyu and laughed at himself in defeat: "So that's how it is."
There was a moment of silence. The two policemen understood almost everything after hearing this. Seeing that the two had no intention of continuing the conversation, the male policeman straightened up and asked Xiao Mumu, "Can the suspect explain the case?"
Xiao Mumu said "hmm" and turned away.
"How did you administer sleeping pills to the two relatives on duty at the hospital tonight? How did you ensure they took the sleeping pills within the time you needed them?"
The male police officer with rich interrogation experience chose the lightest crime to start with. This rhythm is equivalent to warm-up exercises before strenuous exercise, which is conducive to breaking down the psychological defenses of the suspect.
Xiao Mumu's face was expressionless, and she confessed robotically, "I agreed with my family in advance that I would be at the hospital at 6 p.m. to relieve my eldest and second aunts while they went home for dinner. So, from 6 to 8 p.m., I was the only one in the ward. During that time, I drained the water dispenser and damaged the electrical wiring. I then told the nurse that the dispenser was broken, asked for a kettle, and put sleeping pills in it. Xiao Huai and his father came to relieve me at 8 p.m., and most people would drink water between 8 p.m. and bedtime. Even if I felt sleepy afterward, it wouldn't arouse any suspicion because it was late."
The female police officer's pen rustled as she took notes. The male officer nodded approvingly at his confession. "So, how did you manage to steal Mr. Xiao Guotao's notes? Was Xiao Guotao's sudden cerebral hemorrhage related to your theft?"
Xiao Mumu shook her head. "It's okay. I found Grandpa unconscious in the study this morning, so I took his notes on a whim."
