Qian Duoduo sat calmly behind the table, glancing casually at the two people who were already prepared beside her, and then said slowly, "Aunt Liu, I didn't expect to see you again so soon."
As Aunt Liu listened to Qian Duoduo's words, she subconsciously clenched her back teeth, but she didn't want to respond to Qian Duoduo's questions. After observing for a while, she realized that she didn't feel the urge to be forced to tell the truth, which gradually made her relax.
At this moment, Director Zhang was standing in a room next to the interrogation room. A one-way mirror was installed in the room, which allowed him to clearly see the situation inside the interrogation room and hear the conversation inside.
Aunt Liu noticed that there was an extra camera in the room, and a sense of tension welled up in her heart. She realized that this interrogation seemed different from the previous ones.
Qian Duoduo continued, "Then let's begin now." Her tone was calm and firm.
Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu was taken aback. Start? Start what?
Not only her, but also Officer Liu and the recorder next to him felt a little puzzled, but they controlled their facial expressions very well.
Qian Duoduo said, "Now, please introduce yourself."
The recorder next to Qian Duoduo was already prepared, but when he heard the question, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Qian Duoduo, and then turn to look at Aunt Liu. He didn't think Aunt Liu could answer Qian Duoduo's question, after all, this was the fourth time Aunt Liu had been interrogated since she was locked up.
Moreover, Qian Duoduo isn't a professional, so how could she possibly get the answer? Even Officer Liu, who was holding a sketchbook and pencil, secretly curled his lip in disapproval.
Director Zhang looked at Lu Yijian and said, "That's it?"
Lu Yijian remained silent, because he himself was uncertain.
Just as everyone was silently criticizing, Aunt Liu spoke up: "My name is Chen Lihua. I am 57 years old this year, and my ancestral home is Zhucheng, Shandong Province."
Qian Duoduo asked casually, as if in a conversation, "What's your name?"
This was an ordinary question, and every time Qian Duoduo asked it, the woman known as Aunt Liu would answer as usual. But this time, her few words shocked and surprised everyone.
The recorder quickly transcribed the conversation, while Director Zhang stared in astonishment, his mouth agape, unable to utter a sound. After all, he had stood behind the glass the entire time, witnessing the whole process, with a video camera recording it. This clearly proved that Qian Duoduo had not exerted any pressure or threat on Chen Lihua, and that everything was Chen Lihua's voluntary confession.
Aunt Liu—no, she should now be called Chen Lihua—sat in her chair, her expression slightly changing. That involuntary feeling welled up again, as if this strange feeling only appeared when she was facing this woman. Her pupils contracted, as if she was unwilling to accept this fact.
After the recorder finished writing, Qian Duoduo asked again, "How did you get into Mayor Lu Yijian's house as a nanny?"
Chen Lihua was struggling internally. She knew that revealing the truth might bring more trouble, but in the end, she couldn't resist the pressure and fear in her heart. She opened her mouth, trying to close it tightly, but heard her own voice involuntarily emerge: "I was arranged by someone named Tian Na to replace Liu Juan, the nanny originally assigned to Mayor Lu's family."
Qian Duoduo keenly noticed that the recorder's pen had stopped writing, which meant important information was about to arrive. He spoke again, his tone firm and calm: "Where is Liu Juan now?"
Chen Lihua's expression turned somewhat helpless. She shook her head and said, "I don't know. I haven't seen her since I took her place."
Qian Duoduo pressed on, "How did Tian Na arrange for you to take her place?"
At this point, Chen Lihua had given up resisting; she realized that hiding the truth was futile. So she answered truthfully, "He has connections in the logistics department. And they're very strong, so he was able to help me get in."
"Do you know who this person in charge of the logistics department is?" Chen Lihua frowned and thought for a while: "I don't know his specific name, but Tian Na once let it slip that she called him Director Jiang."
Director Zhang, in another room, glanced at Lu Yijian and noticed his expression wasn't good. He probably already had a choice in mind. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Qian Duoduo ask another question from inside.
Do you know your contact person?
Chen Lihua: "Yes."
"So how do you two keep in touch?" Chen Lihua said, "He always takes the initiative to contact me." Qian Duoduo nodded, which was consistent with what she had said at the Lu family's house.
What does Tian Na look like?
Upon hearing this, Officer Liu realized his task had come. He immediately prepared his sketchbook, picked up a pencil, and began studying Chen Lihua.
The junior officer standing to the side was speechless with astonishment, secretly marveling, "In such a short time, they've already gotten to the crucial question! And Chen Lihua is so cooperative!" He looked at the notebook in his hand, his pen even trembling slightly, because he felt that the case was not far off.
However, just as he was feeling excited, Chen Lihua continued, "Short hair, parted in a 2:8 ratio, looks very clean and neat, with bangs slightly swept back. A slightly square face, slightly full lips, and wearing black-rimmed glasses..."
At this moment, Qian Duoduo gently moved her stool closer to Officer Liu, who was drawing a portrait based on Chen Lihua's description. After the portrait was finished, Officer Liu held up his sketchbook to show Chen Lihua and asked, "Is this the person?"
A flicker of panic crossed Chen Lihua's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and replied, "No."
Qian Duoduo glared fiercely at the talkative Officer Liu, then said in a serious tone, "Look carefully! Is this the person?"
Chen Lihua stared at the sketch before her, her eyes filled with confusion and uncertainty, yet she still tried to concentrate on observing every detail. Damn it, she cursed inwardly, why couldn't she control her emotions again?
"Hmm...it's somewhat similar, but also somewhat different," Chen Lihua replied hesitantly.
Qian Duoduo frowned deeply and pressed, "What exactly is different? Be specific!"
Chen Lihua raised her hands, which were handcuffed with silver bracelets, and pointed to the chin area in the portrait, explaining, "It's here. His chin is slightly square on the right and relatively rounder on the left."
Officer Liu glanced at the sketch he had drawn, secretly pleased with himself. This was a masterpiece he had meticulously crafted; it was not only strikingly handsome but also perfectly aligned with his own aesthetic sensibilities. He simply couldn't bear to alter this flawless drawing.
