Chapter 91: No Light 20 It would be nice if the police were useful...
Chapter 20
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue took a taxi to the Municipal Public Security Bureau and contacted the captain of the criminal investigation team, who came down to pick them up.
"Feng Yulian is in the interrogation room now. You can interrogate her anytime you want."
Team Leader Yao took them to the monitoring room to check on Feng Yulian's condition.
Lu Changfeng asked: "Has Feng Yulian's son been found?"
"We found it. It's at Feng Yulian's parents' home. Do you need me to pick the child up?" Captain Yao asked Lu Changfeng.
Lu Changfeng shook his head: "No need."
The child's father and grandmother are dead, the mother has been arrested, and the aunt is far away with her own family. Now the closest people to the child are only his grandparents, and the best way is to keep him with his grandparents.
"Captain Yao, please help us make the arrangements. We will start the interrogation now."
"Okay." Team leader Yao prepared everything needed for the interrogation.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue entered the interrogation room.
Feng Yulian's eyes were full of bloodshot, and she looked up at the two of them with a very calm look.
Lu Changfeng sat down and began to ask, "I think you know why you are sitting here. I won't beat around the bush. Why did you kill Chang Qian and Ma Shufen?"
"Because they deserve to die." Feng Yulian suddenly yelled at the two of them.
Lu Changfeng didn't even blink, and asked in a normal tone: "What's the grudge between you two?"
Feng Yulian suddenly began to take off her clothes.
Lu Changfeng and Jing Jue quickly looked away, "What are you going to do?"
Feng Yulian pulled down her collar, revealing a long-healed scar: "That's the reason."
"Every injury on my body was caused by them, fractures, burns, cuts on my hands, rheumatism..."
Feng Yulian pounded the table helplessly in pain.
"You have already divorced, you have already escaped from the cage, focused on living your own life, cured your illness, and you can re-file the lawsuit and apply for a change of custody. Why do you suddenly want to kill them? What makes you have to kill them?"
"Why did you go to your ex-husband's house yesterday morning?"
Questions were thrown at Feng Yulian one after another. Feng Yulian was a little dazed. When she came to her senses, she answered Lu Changfeng's questions, "My father is sick and wants to see his grandson. They won't let me bring the child back to see my father."
Captain Yao told Lu Changfeng through the headset, "Captain Lu, we have verified that Feng Yulian's father is indeed ill. He has cerebral thrombosis. He had surgery last night. The operation was successful and he is still in the hospital."
"Because they wouldn't let you take the children, so you killed them?"
Feng Yulian said: "I went to their house yesterday and had a good talk with them. I even knelt down and begged them, but they still wouldn't let me take the child away. I showed them the video of my dad in the hospital, but they didn't want to believe it. They even thought that my dad was acting with me so that I could take the child back to Yuecheng and hide him, so that they couldn't find the child and couldn't do anything to me."
"I suggested that Chang Qian go back to Yuecheng with me so that grandpa could see the child. After that, he could take the child back to Yicheng. Chang Qian was unwilling to do so, saying that no one knew how many people I had called in Yicheng to retaliate against him..."
"His mother said that she would never let me take the children away unless they died."
There was no regret in Feng Yulian's eyes, only hatred. Her hatred could be felt by Captain Yao outside even through the screen.
"It's no use kneeling down to them. They each do their own thing. The old woman said that I have been useless for so many years. Everything I eat and use is theirs. Soon Chang Qian will marry another one who is prettier and richer than me." Feng Yulian smiled bitterly: "I was in their house for five years. I was scolded for using a washing machine. They tortured me every day. As soon as I left, they used the washing machine. They didn't complain about the waste water or the electricity. Isn't it ridiculous?"
Lu Changfeng couldn't understand why he had to endure five years of torture before getting a divorce. He should have gotten a divorce sooner. In principle, children under the age of two are awarded to their mothers.
Feng Yulian looked at Lu Changfeng, "You mean I was wrong, I didn't choose to divorce, it's my fault, and I deserve all the suffering?"
"I didn't mean that. I just wanted to know the reason."
Feng Yulian's eyes were filled with despair, and her tone was also very desperate: "I thought about not having the child, or just taking the child back home, but I have no money, and I don't have an ID card. My ID card is hidden by my husband. If I leave with the child for more than two hours without answering the phone, his mother will call the police. She will even keep an eye on me and won't allow me to take the child out alone."
"The premise of divorce is that I can ensure that the child is with me, and the child will be awarded to me. If I can't find the child, it's useless even if the judge awards the child to me." Feng Yulian's tears fell, and she choked up and said, "He was not like this before we got married."
"I haven't worked since I had a threatened miscarriage in the fifth month of my pregnancy. I have been waiting for the birth of my child at home. I was completely trapped after the birth of the child." Feng Yulian couldn't understand why people could be so hateful. "I am a foreigner, helpless in Yicheng. They bully me because I don't have the support of my in-laws. I want a child, but I can only be used like a cow or a horse by them. His mother refused to help me take care of the child, fearing that I would run away with the child if I had money. It is obvious that they don't love the child, but they just don't want to give the child to me."
"Did you ever think of calling the police?"
Feng Yulian laughed when she heard this: "Call the police? It would be great if the police were helpful. They spoke words I couldn't understand and tried to smooth things over. They clearly didn't believe I had postpartum depression, but when the police came, they immediately told them that I was sick and crazy. They showed them my medical records and cried, made a scene, and then tried to put the blame on others. The police didn't support me and told me not to make trouble. Those policemen are just like you. You didn't come out when I was suffering, but now you have come out."
“These are two different things.”
With the factual basis understood, civil disputes are mainly handled through mediation. Police officers have limited authority and cannot overstep their authority to handle matters that are beyond their capabilities. If mediation fails, the parties can further file a lawsuit to request intervention from a more authoritative agency.
If one party violates laws and regulations, it will be dealt with according to law.
Most family civil disputes cannot be handled according to the law, and the police handling the cases cannot blindly punish one party based on the testimony of the other party. They can only mediate.
Whether it is civil or criminal, evidence is required.
Feng Yulian sneered: "It's the same thing to me. It's you who have been watching coldly time and time again, forcing me to this path."
Lu Changfeng was not sure whether the police officer who handled her case had violated any rules, so he could not make any comments. He told her the solution: "If you think the police officer who handled your case violated any rules during the police response, you can report him. The public security organ will verify the situation. If it is confirmed that he violated any rules, he will be punished."
"What's the point?" Feng Yulian asked, "When I needed your help, you didn't help me. Now that I don't need it anymore, you want to stand on the moral high ground and accuse me. Don't you think it's funny?"
Jing Jue couldn't listen any longer and replied, "We weren't the ones who responded to the call. Why are you taking it out on us? Besides, we're not accusing you from a moral high ground. We just want to know why you killed someone."
Feng Yulian turned her gaze towards Jing Jue, "Aren't you a police officer? Don't you have a bird's-eye view and think it's not that bad?"
Lu Changfeng apologized on behalf of Jing Jue and Feng Yulian, "I'm sorry, my colleague is a little emotional, so I'm temporarily suspending the interrogation to give you some time to calm down."
Lu Changfeng stood up, patted Jing Jue on the shoulder, and motioned him to go out with him.
Jing Jue stood up angrily.
Lu Changfeng closed the door of the interrogation room and pulled Jing Jue to a deserted place at the end of the corridor.
Captain Yao was worried that Jing Jue would be scolded, so he came out to check the situation.
"Don't bring personal emotions into the interrogation. Didn't your teacher teach you that?" Lu Changfeng folded his arms and looked at Jing Jue.
Jing Jue lowered his head and said nothing.
Lu Changfeng said: "Your attitude is likely to lead to complaints. We are interrogating to get the truth of the matter, not to debate with the suspect."
"We didn't do those things, so why is she pointing fingers at us and scolding us?"
Lu Changfeng said earnestly, "I know you feel wronged. Who doesn't feel wronged? You personally went to visit her and learned about her experience. She feels wronged too. In her eyes, there is no difference between police officers. They are all police officers. You can't blame her. She has no obligation to understand the difference between different police officers."
"Aren't you angry?" Jing Jue asked.
"I'm angry, but being angry is useless." Lu Changfeng patted Jing Jue's shoulder, "Instead of sounding angry, it's better to turn it into motivation and work hard to find out everything."
Jing Jue nodded, "I understand. I will try my best to control myself in the future and ensure that such things will not happen again."
"I believe you can do it."
Seeing that Lu Changfeng looked calm, Captain Yao returned to the monitoring room.
Lu Changfeng said to Jing Jue, "Go to the bathroom and wash your face. If you feel that you can't do it, I will ask Captain Yao to continue the trial with me."
Jing Jue: “I can do it.”
Lu Changfeng pushed him: "Go adjust it yourself, and come to the monitoring room to find me when you are done."
Jing Jue nodded and walked towards the bathroom.
Lu Changfeng returned to the monitoring room, and Feng Yulian was crying silently in the interrogation room.
Yao defended Jing Jue, saying, "Young people are like this at the beginning, and are easily swayed by emotions. But they will get used to it after a while."
Lu Changfeng nodded in agreement: "I was even more emotional than him at the beginning, and was often scolded by the master for not being able to control my emotions. But our situation back then is different from the current situation. The interrogation requirements are more standardized now than before. If you can't control your emotions, you will easily be complained about, and then you will get yourself into trouble. I am stricter with him, and I hope he can regulate his words and deeds as soon as possible."
Captain Yao felt that what Lu Changfeng said made sense. They were about the same age and had been police officers in the same era. He knew very well what interrogations were like in the past and what they are like now.
Jing Jue pushed the door open and felt a little embarrassed when he saw a room full of people.
Lu Changfeng turned and looked at him, his tone normal, "Come on, come back with me and continue the interrogation."
As if nothing had happened.
Jing Jue followed Lu Changfeng back to the interrogation room. He took the initiative to apologize to Feng Yulian, who was sitting opposite him. "I'm sorry. I was too emotional just now. I apologize to you and hope you can forgive me. If my presence makes you uncomfortable, you can also point it out and I will withdraw from the interrogation and let my colleague come in instead."
"Need not."
