After Xu Yao hung up the phone, he got into the car, stepped on the accelerator and rushed to the criminal police building as fast as possible.
Xu Yao returned to the police station as fast as possible.
Then he rushed to the interrogation room without stopping, pushed the door open decisively and walked in. He looked down and happened to meet Wang Tao's head which was raised at the same time.
The two looked at each other, and Wang Tao's eyes immediately lit up. He stood up and greeted him quickly: "Comrade police officer, you are finally here."
Xu Yao pretended not to hear the excitement in his words, threw the notebook in his hand on the table, and sat lazily on the chair.
"I heard from my men that you have very important clues to the case, and you have to see me in person before you are willing to tell me, is that right?" Xu Yao said while turning the pen refill in his hand.
"Yes!" Wang Tao said firmly, swallowing his saliva a few times, "I can tell you everything I know, but I have a condition!"
Xu Yao shook his head, leaned back, and smiled, "Wang Tao, this is not the place to negotiate conditions.
I have interrogated you before, but you knew about it and didn't report it. Logically, you should be punished more severely!"
Xu Yao thought that Wang Tao would be scared by this, but he didn't expect that he was not afraid at all, but continued to bargain.
"Officer Xu, the case of Liu Lidan being injured should have caused a sensation across the country, and it seems that you haven't completely solved the case so far?
I believe that the clue in my hand will definitely become a good bargaining chip. As long as you police get it, it will be easy to catch the murderer."
Xu Yao thought for a while and said directly: "Didn't you see the news? The murderer who killed Liu Lidan has been arrested. She is the wife of the wealthy businessman Huang Yousheng."
Wang Tao heard it and fell into the trap. "Impossible! That night I checked the surveillance video and saw someone coming out of the villa. I swear, he is definitely a young man."
Xu Yao was secretly happy in his heart. The question worked, "Male, are you sure you are not seeing things?"
"Impossible, I saw it clearly, at that time he also..." Wang Tao suddenly stopped, realizing Xu Yao's trick,
"Officer, I was almost taken in by you, if I continue to talk, the surveillance will be meaningless."
Wang Tao is not stupid, Xu Yao had to say: "Then what do you want?"
"I want to go out!" Wang Tao suddenly stood up from his seat while speaking, his face showing real sadness,
"Officer Xu, I beg you. I must go out this time. If I can't go out, my happiness in this life will be gone.
In three days, my girlfriend is going to get married, but I know that man will never give her happiness!"
Xu Yao raised his eyebrows, "The girlfriend you are talking about, can't it be the gold digger who chose jewelry with you in the jewelry store that day!"
"She's not a gold digger!"
Wang Tao quickly argued, "In fact, she loves me very much, but she just can't accept the fact that I deceived her for a while.
Officer, as long as you promise to let me go, I will definitely get her back."
Xu Yao shook his head, feeling helpless. He didn't know if Wang Tao was too stupid or too naive. Anyone with a discerning eye knew that the woman just wanted to be with him because of his sudden wealth.
Xu Yao would naturally not tell him these words, because Wang Tao might really have extremely important clues to solve their case.
Xu Yao pretended to negotiate, "You can negotiate with me, but it depends on how important the clues you mentioned are to my investigation of the case. Please tell me, what clues are they?"
"It's a video backup, a surveillance video of the night Liu Lidan died. At that time, a man came out of the villa. The clarity is very high, and most of his outlines can be clearly seen."
Xu Yao immediately became alert when he heard it, "Are you sure you are not lying to me? Weren't all the surveillance video equipment damaged that night?"
"It was indeed destroyed. I destroyed everything after I came out of Liu Lidan's bedroom. But before destroying it, I clicked on the video to check the content, and in the video, in addition to seeing a man hugging Liu Lidan affectionately, I also saw a mysterious man wearing a duckbill cap."
Xu Yao was excited after hearing this. This was indeed an extremely important clue. Not surprisingly, this mysterious man wearing a duckbill cap was the suspect who stabbed Liu Lidan's dead body on the ground five times with hatred.
"Where is the backup of that video now? Hand it over to our police immediately!"
Xu Yao's tone seemed a little hurried, and Wang Tao naturally heard it.
He could tell from Xu Yao's panicked expression that this clue should be very important to the police. "Then Officer Xu, can you agree to my request just now, that is, I will hand over this video backup to the police, and you will give me my freedom!"
Xu Yao fell into deep thought after hearing this, but after a while, he replied: "As for your conditions, I cannot agree to you for the time being. I will report to my superiors. But you must tell me, do you have that video backup with you now?"
"Of course not, I left it with a friend of mine. As long as you agree to my conditions, I will immediately get it and send it to you police."
Xu Yao continued to ask, "Then why don't you let your friend deliver it directly?"
"Of course not, this is related to my personal freedom, I must go there in person!" Wang Tao became cautious and meticulous.
Xu Yao suddenly felt that he had underestimated the security guard Wang Tao, and said slowly,
"Wang Tao, you are really amazing! I was the one who interrogated you last time, and you didn't reveal any clues. But why did you conceal the fact that there was another mysterious person at the crime scene?"
Wang Tao smiled, "Haha, although I haven't read much, I'm not stupid. When I returned to the monitoring room and saw another mysterious person in the video, I thought to myself that he might be the murderer. After all ,
I went to Liu Lidan's bedroom only to steal money, but I don't have the confidence to guarantee that the police will not find me. So I backed up this surveillance video. When you police suspect that I am the murderer, it will not be considered a strong physical evidence. "
Xu Yao did not immediately agree to Wang Tao's request. After an hour and a half of interrogation, Xu Yao came out of the interrogation room directly.
Now he has become a dilemma. Negotiating conditions with criminals is not Xu Yao's usual practice at all.
In the past, he would have punched Wang Tao with two punches, leaving him with a broken tooth.
But as Wang Tao said, this murder of a famous movie star had caused a sensation across the country, and the case had to be solved as quickly as possible.
The pressure to solve the case fell entirely on Xu Yao.
