Chapter 31 Julien
Compared with Officer Tao, who hadn't returned home overnight, and Captain Luo, who had just smuggled out of the hospital, Mr. Fei was probably dressed up enough to attend a ceremony.
This man changed his clothes again, still subtly between serious and casual, forbidden and sullen, long hair fluffy where it should be fluffy, and docile where it should be docile, without any mess, he also wore that A pair of metal-framed flat glasses with a rather gentle scum style, and even changed the perfume.
In order to find Wang Xiujuan the night before, Fei Du stayed up for almost the whole night. It is said that he went to the hospital early in the morning to accompany Wang Xiujuan to take notes.
Even though Luo Wenzhou had always had the confidence of being the most handsome in the world, in such a stark contrast, he really wanted to beat the Sao Bao in front of himâespecially the Sao Bao looking at him through a pair of glasses with malicious intent. .
Luo Wenzhou cleared his throat with all his might, and abruptly switched himself from "wanting to scold the street" to anger, to "everything can't be said to people", "immortal style".
He said solemnly: "My people have found a secret residence in Zhao Haochang, and found something in the basement, which is not far from what you deduced. I sincerely think you are very amazing, Mr. Fei, you are indeed a professional pervert. Twenty years."
Tao Ran said with a toothache, "I'm a little embarrassed right now, I don't know if you all feel the same."
Luo Wenzhou, who had been dismantled so badly, snorted and asked Fei Du, "Why are you here again, is your company going to close down?"
"I ran errands for He Zhongyi's mother to ask about the progress of the investigation," Fei Du tapped the dial on his wrist, "Besides, since you are already confused, let me remind Team Luo that it is six o'clock on Saturday evening. No matter the date or time, it is already off-duty time.â
Luo Wenzhou: "..."
"Brother," Fei Du turned to Tao Ran, "Even if you volunteer to work overtime, others should express their gratitude to you for your hard work. Isn't this the least polite thing to do? Bosses who forget weekends and get off work hours are trash. I think this kind of person is rubbish. The worst is next to forgetting to pay your salary - thankfully you are not paid by him."
There was a fire at the city gate, and there was a fish in the pondâTao Yu slapped the fire on his body without expression: "...Let's talk about what Lang Qiao found."
Lang Qiao's scalp felt numb. She stood in the stairwell and rubbed her face hard twice with her unwashed hands for the first time ever.
The basement is arranged like an old-fashioned library, with several rows of huge wooden cabinets up to the roof. There are small squares on the cabinets, and a transparent glass jar is placed in each small grid. All sorts of things, with tags hanging underneath with dates and events.
A stale, cold, indescribable aura came over him, and Lang Qiao's hairs stood on end.
For a moment, she felt as if those jars were used for soaking specimens in the laboratory.
But it wasn't the large cabinets that made her shiver the most, but the floor lamp around the middle of the cabinet.
The lamp body was made into the shape of a tree, and the shape was very strange - the lamp base was a "tree" that was about to break from the middle, and the hollow "tree gÄn" had a lamp in it. When it was turned on, a cluster of bright Light overflows from the unbroken part of the "tree gÄn". All the "twigs" stretched out are bald, and the bare "twigs" are equipped with a small section of slender light tubes, which, from a distance, seem to be wrapped in a blazing fire.
Investigators took a sequential inventory of the items and tags on the shelves.
Zhao Haochang is very organized. From left to right, it is in strict chronological order. The earliest one is marked with "University". According to the time record, it should be Zhao Haochang - Zhao Fengnian has just been admitted to the university, the first one. The day I left Province H by train.
Going to university is indeed worth remembering, but ordinary people usually keep their admission notices, but Zhao Haochang took a unique approach. He kept a ham sausage.
When the police took it down, the package of the ham that had expired for many years was still intact.
The bizarre things are not only this, but there are many things that make people puzzling. During his college, he collected many junk gadgets such as cotton socks, wristbands, mobile hard drives, etc., and the collections and labels. From the outsider's point of view, the incident was completely unstoppable, leaving people at a loss.
"Joel," a more flexible colleague set up a ladder and climbed up the early cabinet, while taking down the glass jars and the date labels on the upper layer and registering them one by one, "Are you sure these junk are useful - Kung Fu tea cups One, it says 'internship'... what is this?"
He paused, picked up the next jar, and looked at it carefully for a while: "The label says 'Freedom', and the souvenir is... a rag?"
Lang Qiao raised his head and glanced, his pupils shrank suddenly: "Give it to me!"
She took the transparent jar carefully through the glove, and felt a shudder in her heart, and shivered firmly in the cold and wet basement - it was a dirty, greasy sleeve, Under the floor lamp, the old dirt is still reflected, and the background color of the broken flowers can be vaguely seen.
In the scanned photos sent by the town police who dealt with the arson case, the fool's sleeve was single!
"Xiao Lang," someone called her on the shelf on the far right, "come here again to see this!"
On Saturday night, Zhao Haochang had already spent a difficult day and night at the Municipal Bureau.
No matter how pleasing the eyes are, the stubble and sebum on the face will be enough to disfigure the face after spending a night.
Zhao Haochang looked a little embarrassed, but he still kept his seated posture expressionless, and when he saw Luo Wenzhou walking in with his file folder in between, he even raised his chin a bit arrogantly towards him.
"Hello, lawyer Zhao, let me briefly say two things first. First, we can talk a little more before 24 hours. Second, no one will let you hire a lawyer, no one will torture you, and more No one treats you right? Of course, if you have to say that the cafeteria of our bureau hurt your appetite, then I can't do anything about it. We really don't have the public budget for takeout orders. Lawyer Zhao has no other objection to this. ?"
Before Luo Wenzhou sat down, he had already robbed Zhao Haochang of his opening remarks in one breath.
The corners of Zhao Haochang's eyes twitched slightly, as if he was provoked by his attitude. He resisted to show it, and said to Luo Wenzhou deliberately and lightly, "You look familiar, sorry I forgot who you are, what's your name?"
Luo Wenzhou was stunned for a moment, then instead of being angry, he laughed out loud. Afterwards, he adjusted his sitting posture lazily, and replied indifferently: "I see you are so smart, why don't you take a guess."
Zhao Haochang sat for too long, his whole body was a little stiff, and he sneered that should have been easy. He twitched the corners of his mouth unnaturally: "It's not necessary, I don't think the fate between the two of us will be very deep."
Luo Wenzhou twirled the pen in his hand: "You sneaked into the Twin Towers in Huashi East District in the middle of the night, loosened the safety guardrail on the top floor of Block A, and almost led to a..."
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Haochang interrupted him impatiently: "I have already said it, I didn't know that someone was going to jump off the building at that place that night. You say that I destroy public facilities and endanger public facilities. Public Safety - OK, I admit, I apologize, I can write a review, and fines are fine. Police officer, not everyone can get paid by the taxpayer. Those of us who do things are still under a lot of pressure. Sometimes, in order to relax, I may really fail to pay attention to the quality. I will accept the lesson of this time in the future, okay? Thank you, in the same way, don't ask me to repeat it every time you change someone."
After listening to this long speech, Luo Wenzhou said with a smile, "I have worked for so many years, and I have rarely encountered a suspect like Lawyer Zhao."
Zhao Haochang said coldly, "This police officer who doesn't know his surname, please pay attention to the wording. Why do you think I'm a 'suspect'?"
Luo Wenzhou suppressed his smile and folded his arms across his chest: "I still have a few things I want to ask Lawyer Zhao."
Zhao Haochang paused, his eyes stopped for a moment on his body language, he nodded very "generously", and made a "please" gesture at him.
"First, the lady who almost fell from the roof yesterday saw your photo and recognized you. She said that your original name was 'Zhao Fengnian', which happened to be her countryman, right?"
After Zhao Haochang heard the words "Zhao Fengnian", his breath was obviously heavy, his pale face was like a stone brick, and his poisoned eyes were pointed at Luo Wenzhou.
Luo Wenzhou was unmoved at all, glanced at the file indifferently and said, "Based on her testimony, we did a little research on lawyer Zhao's background and found that you were born in a relatively remote area under the jurisdiction of the prefecture-level city T city in H province. In his small village, he used to use the name 'Zhao Fengnian', his parents were disabled people who worked at home, and there were three younger brothers and sisters, who came from a hard life."
Every time he said a word, Zhao Haochang's expression became colder.
At this moment, Luo Wenzhou looked up at him and said with emotion: "So it seems that lawyer Zhao is really not easy. You can't get one or two college students in a year, right? Not to mention the important points, you can still get along. Such a dog-like person-and I found that Lawyer Zhao can't hear his accent at all, do you also speak in a foreign accent at home?"
Zhao Haochang's hands on the table trembled uncontrollably, as if he planned to stand up and smash Luo Wenzhou into the floor.
"Oh, I forgot," Luo Wenzhou added fuel to the fire, "I heard that you haven't been back to your hometown for many years, that's not right, lawyer Zhao, it's not easy for the folks to train you, how can you forget your roots? ?"
Zhao Haochang slammed the table and knocked off Luo Wenzhou's voice. He was about to stand up, his buttocks had already left the chair, and he was leaning forward like a shove about to pounceâafter a few breaths, Zhao Haochang didn't know how much perseverance he used, but he suppressed his anger and sat back again.
"Really? It's a coincidence, I don't know." Zhao Haochang seemed to have enamel scratches in every word, "I've been away from home for many years, and those people don't remember much. Besides, police officer, my university It was done with student loans and scholarships, the travel expenses were saved by myself, and I didn't bother anyone to 'train' me. As for whether I can go back to my hometown, you are too lenient, right?"
Luo Wenzhou: "Maintaining social order and good customs is also one of our jobs."
Zhao Haochang raised the corners of his mouth: "It turns out that you are an established neighborhood committee. It's no wonder that so many major and important cases have not been resolved."
"Accept your criticism," Luo Wenzhou successfully angered the other party, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and changed his voice, "Speaking of a major case, there is just one thing I need to ask Lawyer Zhao for."
He took a photo from the dossier and put it in front of Zhao Haochang: "This girl's name is Chen Yuan. She died of a drug overdose a few months ago. She is your alumni."
Zhao Haochang seemed to be furious and did not expect this turn of events, so he said, "It's a pity."
"The cause of her death was strange. Two weeks before she died, she had contacted a college classmate named Cui Ying, and passed on some important evidence to Cui Ying that pointed out that the director of the Huashi District Bureau was involved in the crime," Luo Wenzhou stared at him. "We just went to see this girl. She mentioned these evidences and mentioned you."
Zhao Haochang's eyes moved quickly, his fists hanging on his knees were slightly tight, as if he was quickly recalling his omissions.
Luo Wenzhou: "Cui Ying said that she once shared Chen Yuan's story with you, and you stopped her from reporting it. Is that the case?"
"Yes." Zhao Haochang quickly figured out how to deal with it, and sat up slightly, "I did watch that video, it's really creepy, but where should I report it? The superior department? Police officer, even if I'm sitting right now Opposite you, I donât know if you are a worm with a face and a heart. What if you are in a group with them? Wouldnât it be self-defeating to report? We little people have limited ability and can only protect ourselves with prudence. Whatâs wrong with this? ?"
"No," Luo Wenzhou asked, "what have you done since you found out about this?"
"I went to the field to investigate," Zhao Haochang said, "but I didn't dare to go deep, because I was pretending to drive by and was stared at by several suspected drug dealers for a long time. At that time, I realized that this was a very dangerous thing. So I warned Cui Ying not to speak out, we can only pretend that this incident never happened."
Luo Wenzhou lowered his voice slightly, "Cui Ying said, you told her before that if you kill someone and throw them in a drug exchange location in the flower market, they won't even investigateâis there such a thing?"
The corners of Zhao Haochang's eyes jumped nervously, and after a while, he took a deep breath: "I'm good to Cui Ying, she's a junior in my direct line, and I've been trying to protect her, I don't know why she is I would say that, this is obviously just a joke, I may or may not have said it - but a joke can be used as a reference to being reported and framed... I really don't know if I am in a contemporary civilized society or in the Qing Dynasty. in the prison of words..."
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Wenzhou interrupted abruptly, "Where are you on the night of May 20th?"
Zhao Haochang accepted the invitation without thinking: "First I went to Chengguang Mansion with my friend, and then my friend sent me back to the company to work overtime and didn't leave until it was nearly midnight."
"Where is your company?"
"Wenchang..."
"We got the surveillance video of the public house on Route 34," Luo Wenzhou asked again, before he could finish his sentence, "He Zhongyi, the deceased in the 520 case, got off at Wenchang intersection around 9:00 to 10:00 p.m. that night, and was killed immediately. In order to confuse the public, the murderer then threw his body to the west area of ââthe flower market - it happened to be a drug dealer, what do you have to say about this?"
Outside the interrogation room surveillance, Tao Ran whispered: "He was irritated as soon as he came up, and then he didn't expect Cui Ying to 'bet' him. Just now, he was a little out of control. When Luo team mentioned the Route 34 public video, he was obviously panicked."
Fei Du adjusted his glasses: "Brother, you put me in, is it legal?"
"It's alright," Tao Ran said. "It was specially approved by the Bureau of Lu. He is busy dealing with Wang Hongliang, or he would like to meet you in person."
Fei Du thought about it for a while, but had no interest in meeting a middle-aged and elderly man with a wrinkled face, and turned his head to look at Zhao Haochang in disapproval.
I saw that Zhao Haochang's expression changed at the beginning, and the whole person seemed to be frozen in place, but only for a moment, he seemed to realize something again, and showed a somewhat sly smile.
"He is more easily provoked and offended than ordinary people, especially when others jab at his weak underbelly," Fei Du shook his head, "But he can hold back and maintain his basic rationality. He is truly a talent. If it weren't for this, I would be willing to hire him as a perennial legal counsel at a high price."
"He got off at the Wenchang intersection," Zhao Haochang repeated this sentence slowly, "and then? What happened after getting off the bus and between the time he was killed, you have no idea, right?"
Luo Wenzhou slowly restrained his "pretend to be lazy", his face hard to look at.
"You guys don't have anything," Zhao Haochang leaned gently on the back of his chair, "Just a joke, a surveillance camera that doesn't go to the village or the store, you want to trick me into surrendering?"
Luo Wenzhou said nothing, and an embarrassing silence spread through the small interrogation room. He seemed to have run out of skills.
Zhao Haochang laughed uncontrollably, as if he had "remembered" who the helpless police officer was in front of him.
"Captain Luo, you are cutting corners too much to solve the case." He said, stretching out his wrist, showing the diamond-encrusted watch on his wrist, and knocking on Luo Wenzhou, "It's not too long until twenty-four hours, I see you all. There's nothing else, can I leave early? If not, just give me a bed, I want to lie down for a while."
Luo Wenzhou somehow didn't like the way he tapped the dial, and stared at him without saying a word.
This expression entertained Zhao Haochang to the greatest extent, he successfully suppressed his anger, but did not suppress the complacent at this moment: "I have a piece of advice for you, Luo team, not everyone, will be caught by your set. Don't be too self-righteous about the old-fashioned torture methods."
He said, stood up on his own, and tidied up his clothes pretentiously.
"Zhao Fengnian," Luo Wenzhou finally said softly, "Don't be too self-righteous, the basement of No. 12 'FengqĂng Winery' in Bei 20 Town in the western suburbs is still waiting for you to go back."
Zhao Haochang's smile froze on his face.
Luo Wenzhou tapped twice with his index finger on the table: "Can you explain why the old mobile phone used by the deceased He Zhongyi is in your house?"
