"Most likely."
Zhao Xiao'e pursed her lips and replied.
"Who does she think she is? Does she think her family's background is above the law!" Lin Chang'an scoffed, then his expression turned cold as he said, "I'll go check out the interrogation room."
"Go ahead."
Zhao Xiao'e replied, but as Lin Chang'an walked towards the interrogation room, she thought for a moment and followed him, saying, "I'll go with you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chang'an didn't say anything.
"I won't admit to something I didn't do, so you'd better save your energy!"
When Cui Hongxia saw the door to the interrogation room being pushed open, she looked at Lin Chang'an and Zhao Xiao'e with eyes full of contempt and disdain.
Why hire someone to deal with Comrade Song Lan?
Lin Chang'an looked directly into Cui Hongxia's eyes and asked the question directly, completely ignoring the disdain and contempt in Cui Hongxia's eyes.
In his view, some people always think they are so great and look down on others with a superior attitude. This is actually a disease, a disease that is still living in the feudal era and is self-righteous!
"I don't know any Song Lan!"
Cui Hongxia said, "Either let me leave, or let me call my family. I don't know anything else!"
"Don't you recognize her? If you don't recognize her, why would you pay someone to harm Comrade Song Lan!"
Lin Chang'an's face was cold and stern. He emphasized, "Moreover, you found out beforehand what kind of work Comrade Song Lan is doing now, and you also found out that she was on night shift last night. Otherwise, you wouldn't have sent people to deal with Comrade Song Lan last night!"
"I've already said I don't know any Song Lan. What you're saying now is just your speculation. Do you think it's possible to convict me based on that?"
Cui Hongxia looked completely smug. She sneered, "You still want to wear your uniform? I suggest you let me go!"
"Wang Jianqiang and the others have already confessed that before you asked them for a favor, you mentioned that you had inquired about Comrade Song Lan's daily activities at the machinery factory, and that you specifically mentioned it."
"You said Comrade Song Lan was supposed to work the night shift last night. Now I suspect you have an informant in the security department of the machinery factory, and that informant is most likely the person who takes over the shift with Comrade Song Lan, right?"
Zhao Xiao'e tried to elicit information from him.
"Is this how you handle cases? You're just convicting me based on your own assumptions. I think you should just stop wearing your uniforms, otherwise, how many innocent people will be wrongfully imprisoned by you!"
Cui Hongxia's eyes were full of mockery. After hearing what she said, Zhao Xiao'e was furious, but remembering her status, she suppressed her anger and said to Lin Chang'an:
"Why don't we call the security department of the machinery factory and ask Comrade Song Lan to come over? We can also summon the male colleague who works shifts with Comrade Song Lan to the police station."
Lin Chang'an: "I need to tell the director."
"I'll go find the director right now."
As Zhao Xiao'e spoke, she gave Cui Hongxia a deep look and noticed a clear change in the other woman's expression. She sneered inwardly, "So, you won't admit it until you see the coffin, huh? Well then, just wait and see!"
In fact, Cui Hongxia was indeed flustered. She had pulled down the scarf covering her mouth and nose to breathe in front of He Chunlei because she was wrapped up too tightly. Now she couldn't be sure if he had remembered her appearance at that time.
If he remembers it, will he identify her when he goes back to the police station and explain his conversation with her clearly?
-
Health center.
Jiang Caiying gave birth to a son naturally in the middle of the night. He Chunlei was overjoyed and called the village committee early this morning to share the good news with his parents who live in the countryside.
Around 10 a.m., He Chunlei's parents arrived at the health center to visit Jiang Caiying and her child. Jiang Caiying had just woken up after giving birth and saw her mother-in-law and father-in-law leaving the ward to go to the house she and He Chunlei rented to make lunch. She couldn't help but look at her husband.
"Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"
Upon meeting her gaze, He Chunlei quickly inquired with concern.
"Brother Chunlei, now that we have a son, I hope you can be a good father and a good role model for our son. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I do not understand."
"Brother Chunlei!"
"Just say what you want to say, there's no need to beat around the bush."
"You must have been hiding something from me last night. We've known each other since before we got married. I know you; you can't keep secrets. And now you're still going to keep it from me, aren't you?"
A hint of hurt appeared in Jiang Caiying's eyes. She said, "We can't do things against our conscience, Brother Chunlei. If you do..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? When have I ever done anything against my conscience?!"
He Chunlei's face turned ugly. He turned and walked towards the ward door: "You watch the child, I'm going to the toilet." In Jiang Caiying's view, he was avoiding the issue.
For a moment, Jiang Caiying felt both hurt and scared, fearing that He Chunlei had really done something irreparable.
There are three beds in this ward, but currently only Jiang Caiying, a new mother, is staying there.
He Chunlei walked out of the ward, closed the door behind him, stood at the door for a moment, and then walked towards the duty room.
"Comrade, may I borrow your landline to make a call? I'll pay you, do you think one cent is enough?"
Normally, a short-distance call would cost no more than five cents, and He Chunlei thought that if he paid one cent, the staff at the health center's duty room would agree to let him borrow the landline.
"Where should I call?"
"I worked at the Hongxing Machinery Factory."
"Go ahead and hit me."
The officer on duty placed the landline on the window. He Chunlei thanked him and picked up the receiver to dial a number. Just then, a police officer in uniform walked over.
"Comrade, I'm from the town's police station, my name is Hou Qing'an, here is my ID, please take a look."
The police officer in uniform was indeed Hou Qing'an. He took out his ID from his shirt pocket and handed it to the officer on duty.
After his identity was verified, Hou Qing'an said, "Could you please help me check if a man named He Chunlei brought his wife to the health center to give birth last night?"
Upon suddenly hearing his own name, He Chunlei's dialing motion visibly faltered, and his expression changed.
As a veteran police officer, Hou Qing'an naturally noticed He Chunlei's unusual behavior. He couldn't help but ask He Chunlei, "Comrade, what is your surname? Which unit do you work for?"
He Chunlei's lips twitched. He wanted to make up an identity, but faced with Hou Qing'an's sharp eyes, he couldn't utter a single lie.
With a slight frown, Hou Qing'an spoke: "You wouldn't happen to be He Chunlei, would you?"
"I am."
He Chunlei nodded, put the receiver back on the landline, and asked, "What can I do for you?"
Hou Qing'an: "There's a case that requires your cooperation in understanding the situation. You'll need to come with me to the police station."
"……good."
He Chunlei forced himself to calm down, nodded, and said, "I need to go and say hello to my wife."
"Can."
Hou Qing'an had no objection.
Hou Qing'an was waiting for He Chunlei outside the ward where Jiang Caiying was staying.
