"Comrade Yuxing, you mean that Gong Tinghui might not be the murderer!" Nong Jingwen was surprised by Feng Yuxing's speculation, and was also amazed by the search for the unknown truth and the adherence to fairness and justice in Feng Yuxing's eyes.
I thought to myself, “I didn’t expect such a young secretary to be so cautious.
Nong Jingwen was working on the case jointly with the police station and had carefully read the case files about Gong Tinghui. However, after witnessing Feng Yuxing's firm and calm attitude, as well as the subtle and complicated relationship between Feng Yuxing and Deputy Mayor Gong Yongli, he immediately realized that there were more doubts behind the case.
"I'm not so sure. Let's meet Gong Tinghui in person first!" Feng Yuxing nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Nong Jingwen's point of view.
Solving cases was not his strong point, but he knew that solving cases did not rely solely on logical reasoning and subjective judgment, but required solid evidence and factual support.
Therefore, he did not express his speculation directly, but chose to reserve his opinion and decided to personally contact Gong Tinghui, one of the confessors in this case.
In the cases being handled in Changming County, the shadow of the powerful provincial capital is everywhere, and behind them are hidden complex human nature and social relations. The only way to uncover the truth is through rigorous investigation and direct evidence.
His speculation may not be the truth, but only an in-depth investigation can make the truth that comes to light more solid. If things really are reversed, it will be true justice to clear the innocent and let the guilty receive the punishment they deserve.
. . . . . .
Changming County Police Station Detention Center.
Feng Yuxing, Nong Jingwen and Xuanyuan Changxiao sat side by side, looking at Gong Tinghui opposite them.
Gong Tinghui's face was still a little pale, probably because he was frightened after being arrested. His condition was not too bad. After all, he was in his early thirties and had some psychological quality. Besides, his father was the deputy mayor!
However, after being arrested, he did not show any arrogant or domineering attitude.
Although Gong Tinghui's complexion has not fully recovered and still looks a little pale, it is much better than the frightened state when he was arrested.
His status, comfortable life, and psychological qualities obviously did not undergo training and tempering. However, for a man in his early thirties, it was not difficult for him to maintain a relatively stable mood and state in a specific environment.
In addition, he has the strong support of his father, the deputy mayor, which undoubtedly provides him with more psychological support and capital to cope with pressure.
Being in the police station was not a difficult situation for him, but Gong Tinghui did not show any arrogance or domineering attitude. Instead, he showed an unexpected calmness. All this was because of his father, the deputy mayor, and his hope.
"Take off his handcuffs and let him relax a little," Feng Yuxing said to Xuanyuan Changxiao.
Xuanyuan Changxiao stood up and opened the handcuffs for Gong Tinghui. There were no other police officers around, so Chief Xuanyuan Changxiao had to do it himself.
"You know who I am, right?" Feng Yuxing said, looking at Gong Tinghui with a smile.
His speech and behavior revealed an air of ease and comfort, and his words were casual and natural. His real intention was to guide Gong Tinghui to gradually let go of his inner tension and vigilance in a stress-free way.
He knew very well that the recollection of the incident at that time was crucial to solving the case, and Gong Tinghui was the violent subject in the case, and the details in his memory were very likely to reveal the key clues to the case.
Therefore, he used this seemingly casual but actually well-thought-out way of conversation to gradually guide Gong Tinghui into a more relaxed mental state, hoping to awaken fragments deep in his memory in a stress-free environment, thereby more accurately restoring the true situation at the time of the crime, which was crucial for the subsequent verification of Gong Tinghui's confession.
"I know, you're the new county party secretary!" Gong Tinghui replied calmly, "Why is Secretary Feng interested in a criminal like me?"
"I'm not interested in you, I'm interested in your confession!" Feng Yuxing said with a smile, his face filled with peace.
"Oh! My confession is genuine. I told the police everything that happened that night, and they've recorded it. Secretary Feng doesn't trust the police's abilities, and he's still questioning my language skills!"
Gong Tinghui spent quite a while in the detention center. At the same time, the police's actions were within the legal scope, so he spoke more relaxedly.
"Oh! You misunderstood. From your confession, I learned that you killed a man with just one kick. I can't believe it!" Feng Yuxing looked at Gong Tinghui with a smile, as if the two young people didn't believe each other. "So, I want to verify the information and fill in the gaps!"
Feng Yuxing finished speaking, and without waiting for Gong Tinghui to respond, he said to Xuanyuan Changxiao, "Director Xuanyuan, read his confession again!" He then looked at Gong Tinghui and said, "Listen carefully!"
Nong Jingwen and Xuanyuan Changxiao, who were sitting nearby, were a little confused. They knew Feng Yuxing was trying to help Gong Tinghui relax, but they didn't think he was being so petty! When had this guy become so "kind"?
Xuanyuan Changxiao didn't ask any more questions. Since Feng Yuxing asked him to read Gong Ting's confession, he did.
"...that night we were at Changming KTV singing madly. There were four of us, two men and two women, and we had been drinking quite a bit. Around 11:30, a young man in his twenties broke into our private room. He was staggering as he walked, and he must have been drinking quite a bit.
As soon as this man entered the box, before we could chase him away, his eyes were fixed on the chest of a woman in our box; before I could stand up, the intruder grabbed our female friend directly with his hands;
I stood up, grabbed the hand of my female companion that was reaching out to our box, and kicked the man away. When the man fell backwards, he hit the wall by the door and was unable to get up in an instant. He twitched on the ground for a while and then stopped moving.
Seeing that no one was moving, I became a little busy. Gou Yuanzhuang, my male companion who was drinking and singing with me, saw this and said to me, "Don't worry, I'll handle it!" After that, he made a phone call.
After a while, two young men came, one named Pu Erhu and the other named Du Ming. They were both from Mingzhou Chemical Plant.
After they came, they looked at the man lying on the ground. They said that they would take the man who was kicked to the ground by me to the hospital, and told us to continue singing and not to affect our mood.
Two hours later, they came to tell me that the man had died on the way to the hospital, and that we would go together later. He just needed to be treated and that I didn't need to worry, but they took photos. . . .
After Xuanyuan Changxiao finished reading Gong Tinghui's confession, he closed the transcript and stopped talking. Instead, he looked at Feng Yuxing, meaning, "My mission is complete! The rest is your business!"
