Li Zheng drove, took Captain Yan and Chen Ge to the Dongcheng Police Station.
Chen Ge didn't say a word on the way and seemed a little silent.
The Dongcheng Police Station used Huang Ling's mobile phone to make the call, which means that they had interrogated Huang Ling, and Huang Ling may have given herself up. It is just not known whether Huang Ling also told anyone about the incident on Bus No. 104.
Last night, Huang Ling drove a taxi back to the eastern suburbs. The driver was in the car the whole time. Chen Ge had no idea what happened to them later.
Now that the driver has called the police, Chen Ge must make all preparations and not let things develop in a direction that is unfavorable to him.
In less than twenty minutes, the three arrived at the Dongcheng Police Station.
"Old Tian, you've worked so hard, why don't you go home yet?" As Captain Yan entered the room, he saw several policemen talking in the room. He said to the strongest-looking policeman among them.
"I'm sorry for taking the trouble to come here in person." Tian Lei said a few words to the policeman next to him, then walked towards the office: "Let's go inside and talk."
"Okay." Captain Yan and Li Zheng followed behind, while Chen Ge stood in the hall for a while.
The atmosphere in the Dongcheng Police Station is completely different from that in the Xicheng Police Station where Li Sanbao is located. The room is tidy and there are two rows of chairs placed in the corner. On the left is a drunk man lying crookedly, and on the right is an old man with a dull expression.
One of the two policemen who had just talked to Tian Lei was talking to the old man patiently, asking for his address, but the old man was hesitant and couldn't answer.
Another policeman rolled up his sleeves and took a mop to clean up the drunk's vomit. He frowned and was very dissatisfied: "The Xicheng Police Station is responsible for serious and major cases every day, but we are so bad. We either send lost elderly people home or send these drunks home all day long. We are police officers, not babysitters."
"Say less. If the chief hears you, he will definitely beat you up. Are you not satisfied that nothing happened? You don't know how much the Xicheng Police Station envies us." The policeman next to him gently rubbed the old man's stiff hands to help him relieve tension and promote blood circulation. It can be seen that this is definitely not the first time he has done such a thing: "Xiaoqing, when you are done, go get the old man a cup of hot water and bring me the blanket I use on duty."
"Don't call me Xiaoqing!" The young policeman stuck the mop against the wall and said dissatisfiedly: "This is completely different from the police life I imagined."
He walked towards the water dispenser and saw Chen Ge still standing at the gate: "They have all gone in, why are you still standing here?"
"I'm just taking a look." Chen Ge walked past the young policeman, and he looked very familiar. "Actually, you don't have to envy the West City Police Station. I feel that your East City Police Station will be busy soon."
"It's better to be busy, otherwise your body will rust." The young policeman looked at Chen Ge's back and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was.
Pushing open the office door, several eyes instantly focused on Chen Ge. At the same time, a familiar voice rang out: "That's him! This is the man who took my car last night! He went to the East Suburb Waterworks so late at night. I knew there was something wrong with him!"
"If you had seen the problem earlier, why didn't you say it out earlier?" Chen Ge was speechless, as he was obviously the most innocent.
"Comrade police, did you see that? This man is so arrogant!" The driver was not very old and was scared to death at the time. He has only just recovered now.
"Say less." Tian Lei had a headache. He didn't expect Captain Yan to come over. This disrupted his previous plan. "Captain Yan, I've already shown you the transcript. We also checked the surveillance at the entrance of New Century Park. It was indeed Chen Ge who took a taxi to the eastern suburbs last night."
"Have you found any further surveillance footage? The biggest point of contention right now is the East Suburb Water Plant. The driver said that Chen Ge took some special measures to knock him out, but he couldn't remember what the measures were. If we can't determine the method of committing the crime, all the accusations will be difficult to stand up." Captain Yan looked at the transcript and picked out some issues at random.
"The surveillance camera at the Dongjiao Waterworks was also destroyed in advance. I feel this is a premeditated crime." Tian Lei took out another document: "During the day, we asked the technical department to check. The dashcam and the in-car video camera on the taxi were both broken. The means of destruction were very sophisticated. There was no damage to the outer shell. This could be a high-tech crime."
Captain Yan looked back at Chen Ge and put down the transcript in his hand: "Do you think he is a high-tech criminal?"
"That's hard to say. You can't judge a person by his appearance." Tian Lei still insisted on his opinion.
Captain Yan felt that he could not convince Tian Lei, so he looked at the taxi driver again: "In the transcript, you said that you were unconscious at the East Suburbs Waterworks, but when you woke up you found yourself in a shabby family compound in the East Suburbs?"
"That's right." The taxi driver was very good at observing people's expressions. He saw that Captain Yan seemed to be a leader, so he lowered his voice and said, "When I woke up, there was a piece of paper next to me with a phone number and a few words on it - my name is Huang Ling, and I live on the fourth floor."
"So you didn't lose your money or your phone? And the person who left the note was so kind as to not evade responsibility?"
"You can't say that!" The taxi driver was sweating anxiously. "I'm just an ordinary driver. I was waiting for someone in my car, and then I fainted. When I woke up, I found myself in a completely unfamiliar place. Who can stand this? And that phone call, it makes me angry. I didn't think of calling the police at first. I was scared to death at the time. I wanted to call to ask about the situation, but guess what happened?"
Everyone in the room looked at the driver: "What did the person on the other end of the phone say? Threatening you? Not willing to compensate you?"
"This is not a question of compensation or not. My God, I just got through on the phone and hadn't said a word yet, but the other end sounded like someone was going to kill someone. A woman was screaming for help, help me! And before I could say a second word, the call was hung up. Tell me honestly, would you be afraid if you encountered such a thing?" The driver was a little agitated and stood up from his seat.
"You said you called that woman? She was asking for help?" Chen Ge's eyes became serious and he stood up: "Did you go upstairs to see if the woman had an accident?"
"How could I dare to go upstairs? This is what made me the most angry. I thought there was a murder case. When the police came in the morning, they went to the house and found out that the wife suffered from intermittent mental illness. She was sick last night."
"I can prove this. We have communicated with the woman's husband." Tian Lei motioned the driver to sit down and took out an evidence bag from the drawer. Inside was a mobile phone. "This is the phone of the mentally ill woman. All the call records have been deleted, but we found something very strange."
He looked at Chen Ge: "Why did that patient set your number as one-touch dial? What is your relationship with her?"
