Chapter 111 Killer Fourteen
Xu Lin: "What a coincidence! When we searched Bai Fugui's nanny's room, we found a men's jacket with a button missing. She was willing to talk at first, but after I convinced her, she finally told me what happened. Bai Fugui had thrown the jacket in the trash three months ago. The nanny saw that it was still new, so she picked it up and planned to take it home to her son later. Unexpectedly, this action preserved the most important evidence for us. At first, she was afraid of being scolded by Bai Fugui, so she refused to say anything. Later, when she realized the seriousness of the matter, she exposed it."
Yue Xiaofeng: "It's true that the net of heaven is vast and nothing can escape it. Bai Fugui thought he had destroyed the evidence and was completely innocent, but he never expected that his nanny would accidentally sell him out in the end."
Xu Lin: "Although these aren't irrefutable proof, the key physical and personal evidence, as well as the timing, all match up. This chain of indirect evidence is enough to convict him and leave him no way to discredit himself. He can't get away with it this time."
Seeing Yue Xiaofeng still with a worried look on his face, Xu Lin couldn't help but glance sideways: "What's wrong with you? Why do you still look so worried? You don't have to worry about Cao Yangjiang and yourself anymore. Bai Fugui is in jail. Who will bother to deal with you in the future? Besides, even if the killer doesn't say anything, he injured a police officer like you like this. He will definitely spend ten or twenty years in prison. When he's in prison, I'm afraid no matter how capable he is, he won't be able to do anything earth-shattering."
Yue Xiaofeng sighed softly, "You haven't fought him directly, so you don't know how powerful he is. In fact, when you came in with a gun, he could easily have taken on two of you and gotten away safely. You and I are no match for him. But he didn't do that. Instead, he surrendered obediently. Don't you think it's suspicious just based on this?"
Xu Lin: "I think you must have been scared by him, so you subconsciously deify him. In fact, I think he is just an ordinary person, not as amazing as you say."
Yue Xiaofeng shook his head: "It's definitely not that simple."
Xu Lin: "Okay, okay, since you, Detective Yue, have opened your mouth, I will definitely spend a little more time on that killer to see if he has any earth-shattering conspiracy. Okay, you can just rest assured and recuperate in the hospital for a few days. We are all waiting for you to return to the team!"
After Xu Lin's long persuasion, Yue Xiaofeng finally lay down and rested.
When Xu Lin thought of Yue Xiaofeng's words and the bloody scene that day, she did not dare to take it lightly. After leaving the hospital, she went straight to the detention center where the killer was detained.
Outside the interrogation room was a thick iron door. Through the small glass window of the thick iron door, Xu Lin saw that there was no window inside, only a small exhaust fan vent. A person with his hands and feet chained was sitting on a chair. These alone made her feel that the person locked up inside was not an ordinary prisoner.
The door opened and Xu Lin walked in step by step. The person sitting there kept staring at her, which made her feel uneasy.
The killer raised his chained hands and said sarcastically, "It's just a trial of a criminal. Is such a big deal necessary?"
Xu Lin: "Are you an ordinary criminal? The police officer you brought into the hospital was a national Sanda champion for several years."
The killer smiled and said, "Him? He's quite skilled, but he faced me. He's lucky to have survived this time. But if he runs into me again, he'll have to be careful."
Xu Lin: "What's your name? Why did you kill someone? Were you hired by Bai Fugui to kill Cao Yangjiang?"
Killer: "Does the beauty have a cigarette?"
Xu Lin: "Smoking is not allowed in this interrogation room. Please be serious and call me officer."
The killer looked fearless: "Whatever, then we have nothing to discuss."
Xu Lin: “You…”
If a hard attack doesn’t work, then let’s implement a conciliatory policy!
Xu Lin found some cigarettes and a lighter and placed them on the table: "I'll give you special treatment, smoke!"
Killer: "No way, officer, do you think I can draw fire from the air in my current state?"
Xu Lin had no choice but to light a cigarette for him and put it in his mouth.
"Now you can tell me who you are!"
The killer slowly blew out large, round smoke rings. This scene, full of artistic beauty, left Xu Lin, who hated secondhand smoke, speechless.
The killer: "I don't exist here, so how can you find my name and past? But in your industry, people like us have our own code names. You can just call me Fourteen, that's what they call me anyway."
Xu Lin: "Fourteen, why did you go to Caoyang Jiang's house to do something bad?"
Fourteen: "Of course I received orders to kill him!"
Xu Lin: "Did you receive orders from Bai Fugui?"
Fourteen said with disdain, "Does he look like someone who can afford to hire me?"
Xu Lin: "Who is the one who hired the killer?"
Fourteen: "The first rule of the assassin is to complete the mission, the second is to never reveal the client's information, and the third... forget it, you don't want to know even if I tell you. I've already failed the mission, and you still want to get the client's information out of me. If I really tell it, won't it seem like I have no professional ethics?"
Xu Lin took the cigarette out of his mouth and said, "I advise you to confess and get a lighter sentence, otherwise you will spend the rest of your life in prison!"
Fourteen suddenly burst into laughter, and Xu Lin felt confused.
He laughed and said, "Hasn't that police officer lying in the hospital explained it to you yet? Are you naive or childish? Do you really think such a small prison can hold me?"
Xu Lin slammed the table and said, "You've been arrested and you're still so arrogant. I tell you, you'd better behave yourself."
Fourteen put away his smile and said, "Officer, I'm tired after talking so much today. How about taking a break and talking tomorrow?"
Xu Lin knew at a glance that it would be futile to ask any further, so she could only give up for the time being!
Xu Lin: "Alright, let's continue tomorrow!" She looked at Fourteen's childish yet overly pale face and couldn't help but sigh for him: "A perfectly normal middle school boy, instead of studying hard, comes out to do these murders and arson. And look at his slender, white fingers, I wonder how many lives are hidden in them."
Fourteen looked at Xu Lin leaving and gave her a wicked smile: "You already know enough. I wanted to play with you for a while longer, but unfortunately I don't have time."
After returning to the police station, Xu Lin always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it for a moment. She could only look over the information in her hand again, sort out the case, and see if there was anything left.
What puzzled Xu Lin was why Bai Fugui had to kill Meizhu, a waitress who posed no threat to him. How could a waitress who had achieved a small success and a big boss who had nothing to do with each other end up together?
Li Zhong, the only person involved, couldn't say anything about it, and Bai Fugui's drug trafficking also had nothing to do with Meizhu, although her husband was also a drug addict.
