Chapter 2 There are more fools in this world
What Jian Ruochen wants to do most now is to send the lawless couple in the original text who take human lives lightly to the police station.
This world would be a lot of trouble if there were no police.
It would be nice to have police, at least we don’t have to build a police station from scratch.
Jian Ruochen looked at the policewoman in front of him in the light.
Chen Yunchuan is about 30 years old, heroic and serious, and seems to be honest and upright.
Her body was tense and her expression was alert.
He was wearing a khaki short vest with a white high-necked tight sweater underneath, a belt around his waist with a gun holster and handcuff bag, and a pair of loose and casual black jeans. Wear a pair of two or three centimeter high, almost flat-heeled casual shoes.
Chen Yunchuan was also looking at Jian Ruochen.
She hadn't expected Jian Ruochen to be so pretty, so pale and thin.
The young man's silver hair hanging by his cheeks was blown by the wind. There was not an ounce of flesh on his cheeks. The overly loose dark suit covered his body, making him look younger than his actual age as shown in the information.
Those amber eyes were filled with moisture, and her cheeks were flushed with a sickly color, making her look like an eggplant that had been frosted, and a little wilted.
Too thin, doesn't look like he has the strength to kill.
Chen Yunchuan relaxed his expression slightly, took a step forward and asked, "Jian Ruochen?"
"Yeah." Jian Ruochen pursed her lips and smiled, then extended her hand to Chen Yunchuan, "Hello, Madam."
Chen Yunchuan was stunned and also extended his hand, "...Hello."
This girl is...really stunning, and her eyes are as bright as stars when she smiles. She is totally out of place with the old buildings next to the Dashangtuo Stone Mine.
Jian Ruochen asked: "Officer Chen, how do you need me to cooperate?"
Chen Yunchuan: "Show me the ID."
"I just came back to get my documents. They are all at home."
Jian Ruochen pointed to the door of his house and looked at the two male police officers following Chen Yunchuan. His gaze paused for a moment on the silver box in their hands. "Are you the forensic police officers here to search? Let me see the search warrant."
The tone was exactly the same as when Chen Yunchuan said, "Show me your ID."
The younger intern among them was startled and reflexively showed the search warrant.
Jian Ruochen glanced at them, lifted the overlong hem of his suit jacket, took out the key and handed it over, "Open the door and search it yourselves. After the search, please bring my ID out for me. I won't go in and disturb you at work."
Forensic police officer: “Oh…oh.”
He took the key, opened the door and went into the house. He squatted down and looked through the books piled in the corner. He quickly flipped through two books before he came to his senses.
It’s strange, how does this person know that they are from the forensic department?
You didn't introduce yourself?
The intern felt a little embarrassed about taking out the search warrant just now, and he kept complaining to his colleagues while searching.
"The suspect is so open, there must be nothing in this room."
"Do you think he's the murderer? He's a nice-looking guy, and doesn't look like someone who would kill someone."
"How do you think he knew we were from the forensic department? Hey... I've said so much, why don't you say anything?"
His colleague lowered his eyebrows, looked back at Chen Yunchuan's face, and turned to warn the young man beside him, "Stop chatting."
The two searched around but found nothing, so they put the found documents into the evidence bag and handed it to Jian Ruochen.
Jian Ruochen took it, smiling: "Only the Forensic Department will bring a silver briefcase full of instruments when on duty... Any other questions? You can ask in person."
The intern's cheeks immediately turned red.
Although he didn't say anything bad, being caught talking about people behind their backs was... really embarrassing.
He apologized: "I'm sorry."
Jian Ruochen: "It's okay, I don't blame you, go and have fun."
intern:……
It would be better to just scold him directly.
The tone was like coaxing a child, and he was not taken seriously at all.
Jian Ruochen took out the Hong Kong resident ID card from the evidence bag, glanced at the information on it, memorized the ID number just in case, and then handed it over.
Chen Yunchuan shone a flashlight on it, verified its authenticity, and put it into the workbook. "Leave it with me first, and I'll return it to you after I finish the work."
Jian Ruochen: "Okay, let's go."
The Sham Shui Po Police Station in West Kowloon is not far from the Tai Sheung To Quarry, and it only takes 20 minutes to drive there.
The group drove at high speed and shortened the driving time to 10 minutes.
The Sham Shui Po Police Station does not cover a large area. The marble slab on the door number is a bit old and has been washed away by rain to leave some rusty and yellow marks.
Late at night, there was no one in the police station except the detectives working overtime, and it was very quiet.
Jian Ruochen followed Chen Yunchuan through many twists and turns in the police station, and finally entered a room after a long while.
The room was not very big, only four or five square meters. There was a long table in the middle, with two people sitting face to face at the table.
Chen Yunchuan introduced: "This is Mr. Zhong, the chief of the police station. You know the other one, Chai Jinwu."
Jian Ruo said thoughtfully: I don’t know him.
Alas, he knew nothing. The only thing he was sure of was that "Jian Ruochen" did not kill anyone. You have to take control of the conversation, otherwise you will be exposed.
Officer Zhong glanced at Jian Ruochen and raised his chin to signal, "Sit down."
He pulled out a photo from the A4 folder in his hand and placed it in the middle of the table. "Does Feng Jiaming know? Someone found him lying in the woods behind the south gate of your university today. He was stabbed to death three times. The preliminary time of death was determined to be between 3:30 and 5:00 yesterday afternoon."
Jian Ruochen was the first to say, "I don't remember him very well."
Before Officer Zhong could say anything, Chai Jinwu sneered, "How is that possible?"
"Oh?" Jian Ruochen turned to look at Chai Jinwu, "Then why should I remember him?"
Chai Jinwu choked up and murmured, "He...he said a week ago that he would invite you to the rooftop of the medical school to play. He has disliked you for a long time. How could you not remember it?"
This play is not that play. Mostly bullying.
Jian Ruochen pondered for a moment, "There are so many people in school who dislike me, do I have to remember every one of them?"
Chai Jinwu was irritated by this nonchalant tone and his eyes darkened.
Chen Yunchuan was afraid that he would get angry and hurt someone, so he immediately changed the subject, "Where were you from 3:30 to 5:00 yesterday afternoon?"
Chai Jinwu: "Yesterday afternoon I skipped my elective class and slept in my dorm... Wait, Sir, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting that I killed someone?"
The police officer ignored him and asked, "Is there anyone who can prove it for you?"
Chai Jinwu scratched his fingers anxiously, "No, I'm the only one in the dormitory."
Chen Yunchuan turned to look at Jian Ruochen, his tone softened, "What about you?"
Jian Ruochen said, "I just came here in the evening, how do I know where I was yesterday?"
Although I don't know, I can extract information from others' rebuttal by irritating them.
He glanced at Chai Jinwu and said without specifying the location, "I am also alone, and no one can testify for me."
"But someone saw you at the library at 2:45." Chen Yunchuan tapped the table with a pen. "The library is only about five minutes away from the grove where Feng Jiaming was murdered. You had plenty of time to commit the crime."
Jian Ruochen shook his head, "But having the time doesn't mean I will commit a crime. According to this logic, does that mean that anyone who is still in the library at 2:45 is likely to commit a crime?"
Chen Yunchuan and Officer Zhong looked at each other.
Jian Ruochen is emotionally stable, more open and easier to communicate with. He doesn't look like a murderer, but he is also difficult to deal with.
Sir Zhong pulled out two more photos, one of which showed a watch and the other showed a bracelet.
"We have witnesses who indicate that the watch and bracelet belonged to both of you. They were dropped at the crime scene. Do you have any explanation?"
Chai Jinwu immediately refuted, "The watch is indeed mine, it was stolen a week ago!"
Jian Ruochen searched carefully in his memory and finally found out the origin of the bracelet from the corners of the first few chapters of the novel.
This was the only piece of jewelry that the original owner had bought with his frugal life, and it was a high-end imitation of a famous brand, the same style as Lu Qian's. He was very happy after buying the "couple bracelet", but it was stolen not long after he bought it.
Jian Ruochen imitated Chai Jinwu's sentence pattern and said, "The bracelet was mine, but it was stolen."
Chai Jinwu's blood boiled, and he raised his hand and hammered the table, "Why do you keep imitating me? Who would steal your broken bracelet? It's just a replica! Did you take my watch? And then accidentally dropped it at the crime scene when you killed someone?"
Jian Ruochen asked back, "But why did I take your watch?"
Chai Jinwu: "My watch is worth 200,000 yuan, you can sell it!"
Jian Ruochen looked at Chai Jinwu and sighed slowly, "You said your watch was lost a week ago. If I stole it, then I have a whole week to exchange it for money and improve my life. Why should I keep it with me?"
Chai Jinwu rolled his eyes, "How should I know? Maybe you think it's nice and want to bring it for yourself!"
Jian Ruochen looked at Chai Jinwu with gradually more pity in his eyes.
He picked up the photo of the bracelet and pointed to the ruler next to it, as if teaching a kindergarten kid, "Look, the bracelet's bezel is 14 centimeters long, and the watch's bezel is 21 centimeters long. This shows that the latitudes of our wrists are very different."
"In this case, if I wanted to wear your watch, I would have taken it to a watchmaker to have the strap adjusted instead of leaving it at the crime scene a week later."
Chai Jinwu gritted his teeth, "So you mean I stole your bracelet? I'm the murderer?"
"That's not what I meant." Jian Ruochen said helplessly, "Talk about logic."
"Excuse me, can your 21cm wrist wear my 14cm bracelet? Or can someone like you who wears a 200,000 watch be satisfied with a replica?"
He suspected that the reason why "Lu Qian and Jiang Hanyu" could live inseparable and happily in this world was because there were more fools here.
It’s fine if Chai Jinwu didn’t notice it, but I guess the police didn’t expect it either?
It's just the most basic logical fallacy, which should be taught in police academies.
Don't be too pessimistic, you have to assume that they will.
Jian Ruochen consoled him, "Mr. Chai, you don't have to be so nervous. In fact, we two are not very suspicious."
"The police searched our room and belongings carefully before bringing us to the police station. If we had any tools related to the case, we should have been handcuffed and sitting in the interrogation room instead of sitting in the heated inquiry room."
Jian Ruochen said calmly, "This is a clear case of frame-up. Someone stole our personal belongings and left them at the crime scene to pin the blame on others. He knows we don't have a good relationship and wants to see us accusing and suspecting each other."
Chai Jinwu moved his lips. The person in front of him was so beautiful that it was hard to tell whether she was androgynous. The way he spoke in a low voice like coaxing a child made people feel numb and itchy.
He frowned, feeling extremely uncomfortable and angry, and looked at Chen Yunchuan who was sitting opposite him with a stern look, intending to verify it.
Chen Yunchuan nodded slightly and said tactfully: "What Jian said is basically consistent with our inference."
It's not just basically the same, it's the standard answer.
After searching the two people's rooms, Chai Jinwu and Jian Ruochen were no longer the prime suspects.
This case is more like a deliberate frame-up.
The purpose of calling them in for questioning was, firstly, to completely eliminate the suspicion of the two people, and secondly, to see what the relationship between the two people was, whether they had any common enemies, and whether any new clues could be found.
Now it seems that the relationship between these two people is average, and Chai Jinwu seems to look down on Jian Ruochen.
But as both were students at Hong Kong University Medical School, Jian Ruochen was obviously more calm and intelligent, and he took the initiative in the conversation as soon as he entered the room.
More like a leader than a person being questioned.
And Chai Jinwu...
Chai Jinwu's face flushed, he looked embarrassed, his toes digging into the ground, and he said to Jian Ruochen in a very stubborn tone: "Why are you saying these things? You can't solve the case, so what? Do you want to sit in the police position for two days?"
