Death Photo Gallery (7)

In the office, Zhao Leiting was introducing the development of the whole case to Han Changlin. He came back with full confidence and said that the Korean team would definitely praise them this time.

Meng Siqi sat in his seat and prepared the interrogation materials in advance, as he would go to the interrogation room to take notes later.

During this time, she went to the tea room to get a glass of water and came back, and suddenly she heard Han Changlin yelling, "Zhao Leiting, what did I tell you!"

She put down the cup and looked over there. She clearly didn't go there to take credit, so why was she criticized? Meng Siqi was a little puzzled. Could it be that their investigation direction was wrong?

Zhao Leiting lowered his head, seemingly accepting the criticism.

Han Changlin shouted, "Write a 5,000-word inspection report and give it to me tomorrow!"

"Yes. The Korean team." Zhao Lei Ting replied in a low voice.

Tang Xiaochuan stood up and walked over, saying in a sincere tone: "Captain Han, I agreed to this, so you can still criticize me."

Han Changlin was probably angry, his face turned pale, he stared at them for a while and said, "Tang Xiaochuan, 28, has a child who is almost two years old, Zhao Leiting, 25, has not yet started a family, they are all very young, it's good to be young, you don't have to think too much when doing things, right?"

Han Changlin's tone was clearly filled with sarcasm.

"Write me a 5,000-word self-examination. Remember, from now on, if you act alone without my order, you will be considered breaking the rules."

Meng Siqi's heart sank suddenly. It turned out that the Korean team blamed her for acting alone. This time, she should be the one criticized. Maybe the Korean team favored her, thinking that she was a girl and had fewer years of service, so they did not criticize her and put all the responsibility on Zhao Leiting and Tang Xiaochuan.

She couldn't let others take the blame for her, so she mustered up her courage and walked over to him, saying honestly, "Captain Han, today's decision was all mine. I will write a self-incrimination."

The three of them stood in a row, just like students who had done something wrong in school being punished by their teachers. Han Changlin smiled coldly: "That's great, you're still 'officials protecting each other'. You're young, that's good. You've all learned to take risks and be heroic? I'm just too shallow!"

Han Changlin's words were full of sarcasm, but Meng Siqi knew that he was correcting her behavior today and was also worried about her safety. In fact, she was still a little scared now. If Zhao Leiting had not arrived in time, if she had not discovered the truth about Jin Yaming's crime, then she might have lost her life there.

She admitted that she was indeed eager to solve the case at the time, and she lowered her head to accept the criticism from the Korean team.

"Captain Han, calm down," Feng Shaomin suddenly walked in front of them, "I will write Xiao Meng's self-examination. This is the problem of me, your master..."

Meng Siqi raised her jaw. She couldn't believe that Feng Shaomin would take away the mistake she made. She remembered that Feng Shaomin had severely criticized her before. During the pursuit in Gaoxiang Town, she took the lead in the charge and was criticized by him. But this time he didn't get angry, and he took the initiative to take away the mistake.

At this moment, she finally understood that the master was actually really good to her.

"Old Feng?" Han Changlin was a little helpless.

"It is necessary for them to accept educational criticism, and I must write the self-examination." Feng Shaomin mentioned again.

"Okay." Chief Lin said solemnly, "Let's just leave it at that for this inspection. Next time, if you act alone and put yourself in danger again, it will be considered a violation of discipline and you will be fired."

Han Changlin turned his head away from them and picked up the detective collection of Di Renjie to read as if on purpose.

Without the Korean team's order, the three of them hung their heads and did not leave. Meng Siqi felt even more guilty. She especially wanted to formally apologize to everyone. This action was all her idea, but they all took the blame for her.

The Korean team is biased towards her, but it would be better to just scold her directly to make her feel better.

Feng Shaomin glanced at everyone, said nothing more, and walked away.

Two minutes later, Han Changlin flipped through two pages of the book, slowly moved his eyes away from the book, and found that the three people were still standing there. "What's wrong? Are you unhappy about a few criticisms and don't want to work anymore?"

All three of them hung their heads in despair and turned away silently.

"Wait." Han Changlin stopped everyone again, and this time his expression was obviously relaxed. "Criticisms are welcome, but I am still relatively satisfied with this case. Interrogate Jin Yaming and make up for his mistakes... Zhao Leiting, if you want to laugh, just open your mouth and laugh, okay? Isn't it uncomfortable to hold it in?"

Zhao Leiting bit his lip and said, "Captain Han, I'm not laughing, I just think you are wise and I'm a little moved."

"I'm not touched! I don't even know what's going on in your mind."

The atmosphere suddenly became relaxed. Meng Siqi recalled the thoughts he had when he was taking notes just now and said hurriedly, "Captain Han, Jin Yaming's eyeshadow pencil might be the murder weapon of Hu Dingxiang. I'll apply for a test."

"Okay. You guys do a good job of this interrogation, I will sit in on it." Han Changlin called Feng Shaomin again, "Old Feng, you follow up on the weapon detection."

"good."

Back at the desk, Zhao Leiting took the initiative to approach her, leaned his wrist over the bookshelf on her desk, smiled and stuck out his tongue, and whispered, "Don't worry about it. When people get older, they tend to nag."

Meng Siqi was still a little upset at first, but Zhao Leiting's joke made her feel better. She pursed her lips and smiled back, "I know."

More than 20 minutes later, Zhao Leiting presided over the interrogation of Jin Yaming, and Meng Siqi and Tang Xiaochuan attended together. Han Changlin indeed acted as an observer and he moved a chair and sat aside.

Jin Yaming had been sitting in the interrogation room for more than an hour. When he first came, his expression was very calm, but now he seemed a little impatient. "Give me a cigarette."

"Wait a minute, the interrogation is over." Han Changlin rejected him.

"Just ask, I'll tell you everything I know." Jin Yaming acted as if he was wondering if you could get anything out of your questions.

After Zhao Leiting asked for basic information, he formally asked, "Jin Yaming, do you know that Hu Dingxiang is missing?"

"I have no idea."

"You don't know? This is the name registered with you," Zhao Leiting opened the registration book to the page where Hu Dingxiang signed, "After that, she disappeared."

"She did come to my place to take photos, but then she left. I've always wondered why she didn't come to pick up the photos. I even went to her house to look for her..."

"But that's not what you said at first. You said you found Hu Dingxiang on the street."

For the first time, Jin Yaming's calm expression became a little tense, his eyes slightly dodged, and he licked his lips, "My mouth is a little dry, give me a glass of water."

"Okay, I'll arrange it." Zhao Lei Ting continued, "You answer the questions first."

Suspects usually make some requests to distract themselves during the interrogation process, and they may think carefully during this short period of time.

Sure enough, after a while, Jin Yaming replied: "When you came here with this woman that day, I thought you were just here to take pictures. I didn't need to tell you the truth."

This reason was sufficient. Zhao Leiting did not refute it for a moment. He continued to ask according to the procedure: "What did Hu Dingxiang do in your photo studio that time?"

“Of course, taking pictures.”

"What are you taking pictures of?"

"At first she just wanted to take some youthful and beautiful art photos. I thought she had good conditions and suggested that she take a devilish art photo."

"She agreed?"

"She disagreed at first, but then I said I would pay her, and she agreed."

"Why do you want to pay?" Zhao Lei Ting pressed on.

"Because I'm about to hold an art exhibition, I wasn't very satisfied with the models I hired before, but I knew Hu Dingxiang was a perfect fit the first time I saw her, especially because of her Lolita death style, which suits her very well."

"Wait a minute," Han Changlin interrupted him, "What is Lolita?"

Most people in this era really don't know. Seeing that Zhao Leiting and Tang Xiaochuan didn't answer, Meng Siqi gave a brief answer: "Team Han, Lolita is a novel written by an American writer. Lolita is a twelve-year-old girl in the novel. Later, it generally refers to sweet girls between the ages of nine and fourteen, who are a bit like dolls."

In her original world, she was relatively familiar with the Lolita style, so it was no problem for her to say a few words.

Jin Yaming couldn't help but look at her, with a different light in his eyes. She might have been killed by him today, but at this moment his eyes contained a bit of admiration.

Han Changlin nodded. He seemed to be quite curious about this and asked, "I don't know much about your art circle. Is there anything special about the Lolita death photo?"

Jin Yaming seemed to be talking about a topic that interested him, and he spoke fluently: "Lolita symbolizes youthful beauty and represents the most beautiful and moving moments in life. When it is associated with death, the shocking effect it brings is very great. This is very eye-catching for our art exhibition. Facts have proved that Hu Dingxiang's photos received the most attention at my exhibition."

There was even a hint of pride in his tone, which might have a different meaning to someone with artistic talent.

"Okay, continue." The Korean team spoke.

Zhao Lei Ting continued to ask, this time with a serious test: "That time you personally put on the death makeup for Hu Dingxiang, but before it was finished, you killed her. Your murder weapon was that eyeshadow pencil!"

Jin Yaming seemed to have expected this question. He raised his lips and said, "I don't know how to answer you. This is all your guess. Why would I kill her with an eyeshadow pencil? What I want is her artistic photo. Would I go on the debt for a few dozen dollars?"

These are indeed not motives for murder, but Meng Siqi saw the scene with her own eyes, and she still remembers the scene where Hu Dingxiang was stabbed in the heart. However, without direct evidence, Jin Yaming could not tell the truth.

"How do you explain that your eyeshadow pencil is fake and there is a knife inside?" Zhao Leiting said seriously.

Jin Yaming licked his lips again: "I don't know, this is one of my dark hobbies, is this also illegal?"

Jin Yaming did not admit it, because he had already prepared himself mentally and guessed what the problems were.

After asking some more questions, Meng Siqi didn't get any particularly useful clues from Jin Yaming. She felt a little depressed. After all, she saw the murder of Hu Dingxiang with her own eyes, but she couldn't share it with everyone.

Therefore, she was the most anxious one. If Jin Yaming could not be convicted within 24 hours, he would be released. With his viciousness and shrewdness, young and ignorant girls like Hu Dingxiang could fall into his hands at any time, not to mention that she might become one of them today.

Finally, Zhao Leiting pushed the prepared paper and pen in front of Jin Yaming, and placed the page of the contract written by Hu Dingxiang in the registration book next to the book. When Jin Yaming was confused, Zhao Leiting said, "Jin Yaming, please imitate Hu Dingxiang's handwriting and write down her name and home address."

Jin Yaming was stunned for a moment. After Zhao Leiting reminded him again, he slowly picked up the pen. After pondering on the paper for a while, he slowly copied down the home address and name.

After everything was done, Zhao Leiting said again: "Imitate her handwriting and write a sentence like this--" He pushed a prepared piece of paper with words on it towards him again. On that piece of paper were fifteen words randomly picked from Hu Dingxiang's resignation letter to Shangyin Shopping Mall. These fifteen words were irregular.

Jin Yaming seemed to realize something, and his hand holding the pen left a small circle of ink on the paper.

If Jin Yaming was indeed the murderer and had imitated Hu Dingxiang's handwriting to forge the resignation letter, then it would seem difficult for him to completely avoid imitating a different handwriting.

"I want to drink water!" Jin Yaming suddenly asked for water. "I have been here for more than two hours and you haven't given me water. I am very thirsty and my mouth is dry." He put down the pen and pointed at his peeling lips.

I was so nervous during the interrogation that I forgot to bring water. Han Changlin had to remind me, "Xiao Meng, go get a glass of water."

Meng Siqi immediately got up and went to the next office to get some water. On the way, she had already guessed that Jin Yaming was deliberately delaying the interrogation. He must be the one who imitated the resignation letter. Suddenly asking him to imitate fifteen random words from it might have made him alert. He might be thinking about how to adapt.

After a cup of warm water was placed in front of Jin Yaming, he picked up the cup and took a sip slowly, then took a few more sips. He drank very slowly, but his eyes were always fixed on the paper with fifteen irregular Chinese characters that needed to be copied.

"Is that enough?" Zhao Leiting urged him.

Jin Yaming took a big sip, finally put down the cup, and slowly picked up the pen. He imitated it almost stroke by stroke, and it took him some time to complete the copy of the fifteen words.

"Okay." Zhao Leiting collected all the materials and turned to Han Changlin, "Captain Han, we have come to an end of the interrogation. Do you have any other instructions?"

Han Changlin simply waved his hands.

Several people walked out of the interrogation room. Zhao Leiting walked the fastest. After entering the office, he immediately compared the resignation letter with the fifteen words imitated by Jin Yaming.

These are fifteen words randomly selected. If the imitation effect is the same, it is enough to prove that Jin Yaming is the imitator of the resignation letter.

Meng Siqi also stood behind him and observed together. After Zhao Lei Ting compared the characters one by one with his index finger, he sighed a little. Although these fifteen characters were somewhat similar, they were obviously not imitated by the same person. There were some differences in the depth of the handwriting.

Meng Siqi sighed and said, "It seems that Jin Yaming is a master."

Zhao Lei Ting sighed and said, "Artists seem to have a talent for this, especially in visual arts. They have a strong ability to imitate. Imitating two sets of text structures should be child's play for them. So this doesn't mean that Jin Yaming has no problem."

The two were at a loss as to what to do. Han Changlin picked up the intercom and called Feng Shaomin: "Old Feng, have you got the test results?"

"There is some progress, Han. I will go to the hospital to match Hu Dingxiang's blood type. I will come back as soon as I find evidence."

"good."

It seems that this weapon is the most likely evidence to convict Jin Yaming. Everyone's hearts are filled with hope and they can only wait for Feng Shaomin to come back.

At the office door, a police officer came in and said, "Team Han, there is a lady named Song Xinran who wants to visit Jin Yaming."

Song Xinran is Jin Yaming's girlfriend, and can be considered half a family member of the suspect. It is normal for her to come to visit. Han Changlin said, "Zhao Leiting, you go and receive her. He is still in the interrogation stage, so there will be no visitation."

"Okay, Team Korea." Zhao Lei Ting stood up and agreed.

Meng Siqi also wanted to go and contact Song Xinran. She always felt that it was a bit strange that Song Xinran came to visit so soon. After all, they had just met, and the last time Jin Yaming was captured by Lu He, Song Xinran did not visit for a long time.

She quickly said, "Team Han, Zhao Leiting and I will go take a look together."

"Go ahead."
