Lu Juanjuan's crying resonated with most of the villagers, especially Lu Fugui, who was a good person before he went crazy. Several women had kindly come forward to comfort Lu Juanjuan.
At the same time, a police car arrived at the gate of the commune, and the lead police officer who got off the car was He Chong.
Unexpectedly, it was an old comrade who came to handle this case. Shi Zhentang had thanked He Chong over the phone a few days ago. Now he walked over and shook his hand: "Old He."
He Chong held his hand tightly: "You haven't returned to the team yet?"
"No, it will take two days. Let us first tell you what happened tonight."
"good."
The village party secretary and Kong Xingbai and others came forward, introduced themselves, and recounted what they had seen and heard last night.
This included Shi Zhentang finding Lu Juanjuan's hairpin outside the commune wall, and Kong Xingbai and his friends meeting Lu Juanjuan on the road last night, and they all told him everything they knew.
He Chong asked the team members to record everything.
Then they walked into the makeshift shed to check Lu Fugui's body. From the nostrils to the mouth, it could be preliminarily concluded that he was indeed suffocated to death by smoke, and there were no obvious external injuries on his body.
"We need to take some statements from the villagers. Please ask the village party secretary to notify everyone to gather at the commune."
With many years of experience in handling cases, He Chong decided to start with investigation, and he decided to take Lu Juanjuan's statement personally.
Even though this woman was crying very sadly, there were many suspicious points about her, from the poisoning case a few months ago, the kidnapping case of Shi Xiaoli, to the arson case that happened recently.
But in the end this woman was able to dodge it, so I have to say she is very smart.
The village party secretary quickly used a loudspeaker to notify the villagers to come and take a statement.
There are quite a few people in Quanshui Village, so the workload of taking statements is naturally heavy.
Fortunately, most people were holding a meeting in the commune yard at the time and could testify against each other. A preliminary questioning was enough to eliminate suspicion, and there weren't many left!
…
"What's your name?"
In the temporary interrogation room, He Chong lit a cigarette and raised his eyes. He paused as soon as he asked the question.
The other person sat upright in a chair, his voice clear and elegant: "Tian Yuzhu."
Seeing that Captain He didn't ask any more questions, the assistant asked, "Male or female?"
Tian Yuzhu: "!!! A woman."
She then added, "Could you please put out your cigarette, comrade? I'm pregnant and can't stand the smell."
Well!!!
He Chongling was confused for a second before quickly putting out his cigarette: "Sorry."
The first time he saw Tian Yuzhu flashed through his mind. At that time, Shi Zhentang described her as a silly girl who didn't even understand the ways of the world.
When he saw his husband's comrade-in-arms, he went into the house as if he hadn't seen him.
Looking at Tian Yuzhu now, the overall feeling is that she has changed a lot. She is not only confident, but also can answer questions fluently.
What is going on?
I have been a police officer for many years and have never heard of a fool suddenly becoming smart.
Questions flashed through He Chong's mind, and he forced a smile onto his serious face. "It's like this, Comrade Tian Yuzhu. According to the records we've taken, most villagers reported that you were the first to discover the fire at the commune. Can you tell us what exactly happened?"
Tian Yuzhu knew he would ask this question.
The situation was urgent last night, and she could only focus on saving people. As for whether anyone would become suspicious later, that was another matter.
The answer was already in my mind, so I was calm and composed at this moment: "My grandmother and I were about to go home. When we turned around, we saw smoke coming out from behind the roof of the commune office. I was shocked.
I don't know how angry I was, but I just felt like I had to tell everyone to run away quickly. Later, I don't know who locked the gate of the commune, and I rushed up and kicked it open.
Haha, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I don't have many advantages. My biggest advantage is my strength. I kicked the gate of the courtyard in and I don't know if you can help me fix it. "
This description made the assistant beside He Chong look at him, and both of them were speechless for a moment: "..."
She kicked the door open, and she was a pregnant woman?
Even though her advantage is her strength, she shouldn't use brute force at a time like this, so He Chong felt that she was probably a little bit stupid.
Tian Yuzhu also caught a glimpse of He Chong's relaxed look from his subtle expression, which was a good thing.
Facing a captain with many years of experience in criminal investigation, she had to pretend, otherwise she would only get into endless trouble if the other party became suspicious.
After all, if a fool suddenly becomes normal, it's okay to fool the villagers.
It is difficult to deceive people in common sense professions like the police.
"Okay, you can go back." He Chong felt a little sympathetic towards Shi Zhentang at this moment. Although this young wife was good-looking, she was still a little abnormal.
It’s a pity that his comrades are so outstanding!
Tian Yuzhu nodded, stood up and walked out carefully.
Seeing the man waiting for her in the yard approach her, he whispered, "You can't take this comrade home."
Seeing his wife lower her voice, Shi Zhentang also asked in a low voice, "What's going on?"
"He's different from the villagers. I can't show my true colors in front of him." Tian Yuzhu sighed softly, "I had to act stupid in front of him just now."
"Okay, I got it!"
After saying these words, the couple walked out of the commune gate. Since there was nothing else to do at the moment, Shi Zhentang planned to send her home.
Unexpectedly, Lu Juanjuan, who was accompanying her father in the makeshift shed, suddenly rushed out and rushed directly towards Tian Yuzhu: "You vixen..."
In order to stop her, Shi Zhentang's instinctive reaction was to raise his hand to hold her, but he accidentally extended his injured hand which had not yet fully recovered.
He just frowned slightly and threw Lu Juanjuan to the ground: "Lu Juanjuan, be careful."
"Zhentang, you actually hit me?" Lu Juanjuan, who had fallen to the ground, pretended to be shocked and continued to curse: "Ever since Tian Yuzhu came to our Quanshui Village, the village has not had a good day. Just like the fire last night, who else could it be if not her? This murderer, she killed my father."
What are you talking about?
The three aunts and the four aunts who usually loved gossip couldn't stand it anymore and hurriedly called out: "Hey Juanjuan, you misunderstood."
"Exactly. We said Yuzhu was the first person to discover the fire. If she hadn't yelled for everyone to run, who knows how many people would have been injured!"
"Yes, it was Yuzhu who kicked the gate open. She saved us."
Seeing that no one in the village stood on her side, Lu Juanjuan stood up and sneered: "Then let me ask you, how come others can't see the fire but she can? Why is Tian Yuzhu stronger than a man? She can even kick down the door with one kick. Is this normal?"
