The interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open.
Officer Xiao Wang led Lao Si in.
The fourth brother's face was as white as paper, his legs were trembling uncontrollably, and there were still wet urine stains on his crotch.
"Reporting to Captain Li, Zhang Laosi is willing to be a witness for the prosecution."
Officer Xiao Wang said.
The eldest brother suddenly turned his head, glared at the fourth brother, and cursed fiercely.
"Fourth brother! Are you crazy? I'm your own brother!"
When confronted by the eldest brother, the fourth brother lowered his head and dared not look at anyone.
"I...I don't want to die...Third Brother is gone..."
Officer Li gestured to Xiao Wang to pour a glass of water for Lao Si.
"Take your time, tell me everything you know."
The fourth brother took the water glass with trembling hands, spilling half of the water on the table.
He swallowed hard and began to speak haltingly:
"That day... my aunt came back from the city and said she'd been bullied by a mentally challenged man... She gave us fifty yuan and told us to go beat him up... When we got to the house, the man wasn't there. When he returned, my older brother and the others started the fight..."
The fourth brother's voice grew softer and softer, and Officer Li had to lean closer to hear him clearly.
"And then?"
Officer Li pressed for further questioning.
"Later... the idiot fought back and bit off Third Brother's ear... We... we were furious, so..."
The fourth brother suddenly covered his face and started crying.
"They were beating too hard... I couldn't stop them at all..."
At this moment, the eldest brother suddenly sprang into action, and if he hadn't been restrained by the police, he would have pounced on the fourth brother.
"Traitor! You're in too! What are you pretending to be a good guy for now?"
The fourth brother had tears and snot all over his face.
"Third Brother...Third Brother was killed by Eldest Brother...Third Brother's wounds became infected and he fell into a coma. I saw it...He used a knife..."
These words exploded like a bomb in the interrogation room.
When Old Mrs. Zhang heard this news, she was also frightened by Zhang Laoda's ruthlessness.
He huddled there, too afraid to speak or even look at anyone.
“Go on.”
Officer Li's voice showed no surprise; he already knew the answer when he saw Lao San's body.
The fourth brother sobbed.
"We fled back to the village... My aunt wouldn't give us any money... So my eldest brother stabbed her... Later we hid in a cave... My third brother got a fever and started talking nonsense... My eldest brother said... said we couldn't escape with him..."
The fourth brother couldn't continue speaking and slumped into his chair.
The interrogation room was deathly silent, with only the scratching of the recorder's pen on paper.
Officer Li sighed and gestured to take the Zhang brothers away.
Before leaving, the eldest brother glared fiercely at the fourth brother.
"Just you wait, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"
With all the witnesses and physical evidence gathered, the case can be considered closed.
In the reception room.
"Comrade Su."
Officer Li walked over and patted Su Jianguo on the shoulder.
"The case is basically clear. Don't worry, the law will give them the punishment they deserve."
Su Jianguo took a drag of his cigarette and said nothing more.
All the murderers have been caught. Now the only worry is whether Wu Ermaitai in the hospital will wake up.
...
at the same time.
On the other side.
At the entrance of the Chengbei Detention Center, Li Jinhua kept checking her watch.
She rushed over early this morning, afraid that if she was late, it would cause problems.
"Family members?"
The police officer on duty looked up and glanced at her.
Li Jinhua forced a smile.
"Yes, I've come to pick up my parents, my eldest brother, Li Decai, Wang Guifang, and Li Jinbao."
The police officers looked through the logbook.
"Hold on."
Li Jinhua stood quietly in the reception room, saying nothing.
Before parting ways yesterday, Vice Principal Zhang gave her some special instructions.
"When you get there, don't say anything. Just say that family members are here to pick them up... I guarantee they'll be out today..."
Li Jinhua had no idea about the intricacies of the situation, so she was extremely cautious.
"Golden Flower?"
Suddenly, a hoarse voice rang out.
Li Jinhua looked up and saw her father, Li Decai, standing at the door.
After being detained for seven days, Li Decai seemed to have aged ten years; the wrinkles on his face were deeper, and his eyes were bloodshot.
His mother, Wang Guifang, followed behind him, her hair disheveled and her face also showing signs of exhaustion.
The eldest brother, Li Jinbao, had a gloomy face, and there was still a bruise on his left eye.
"Dad! Mom!"
Li Jinhua rushed up and hugged her parents, tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Decai shoved her away and asked sternly.
"Where's Su Mingqiang? Why isn't he here?"
Li Jinhua wiped away her tears, and choked up as she thought of her husband's current state.
"Mom and Dad, let's talk about this at home... It's not convenient here..."
Li Jinbao snorted coldly from the side.
"What? You think we're embarrassing us?"
"No, brother..."
Li Jinhua hurriedly explained.
"Let's go home first, I'll tell you slowly..."
On the way home, none of the four members of the Li family had a pleasant expression.
Finally arriving at her doorstep, Li Jinhua took out her keys, but her hands were shaking so badly that she couldn't get them into the lock after several attempts.
"waste!"
