    Chapter 32 Julien

    The door of the interrogation room opened in response, and two police officers walked in with no expression on their faces. They pressed Zhao Haochang back to the seat one by one, and the shiny handcuffs "clicked" and placed him on his dazzling fours. His wrists, metal handcuffs and metal watch straps echo each other in a strange way.

    Gorgeous, cold and sharp.

    Fei Du, who was watching coldly outside, suddenly squinted his eyes and commented: "Your handcuffs are very beautiful, can you give me a pair of them as a souvenir?"

    Tao Ran didn't react for a while: "Do you want handcuffs?"

    Fei Du turned his head to look at him, then closed his mouth as if he consciously made a blunder, and just curved his peach blossom eyes meaningfully.

    Tao then comprehended it for a long time before he vaguely understood that, as a traditional man with only overtime and mortgages in his life, Deputy Tao really couldn't appreciate the bourgeoisie's behavior, seeing Fei Du's virtuous behavior. , he felt that it was very polluting his vision, so he justly gave him a reprimand: "If you talk nonsense any more, you will go out."

    Fei Du coughed loudly, sat upright and put away his magical power of "the sound of the waves is still the same", and stopped uttering a word.

    The icy handcuffs made Zhao Haochang shudder fiercely. He came back to his senses and still tried to defend without giving up: "Wait, what room..."

    Luo Wenzhou cut off his voice coldly: "Want to say that the house is not yours? Lawyer Zhao, the monitoring of the Fengqíng winery doesn't say that."

    The panic look on Zhao Haochang's face finally couldn't be suppressed, and the handcuffs made a bang.

    Luo Wenzhou admired his expression, and added calmly: "Besides, who told you that after He Zhongyi left the Gongjiāo station at Wenchang intersection, we couldn't find any trace of him?"

    "No, no...impossible..."

    "You are suspected of intentional murder and intentional throwing of corpses, and you are afraid that the victim's family will recognize you, but you are still trying to lure an innocent and ignorant woman to commit suicide in public, breaking the high-altitude protective fence, intervening in the investigation several times, trying to mislead the police, and frame the blame for it. Others—Zhao Haochang, these things are now solid evidence, what else do you have to say?” Luo Wenzhou said here, suddenly raised his eyes and glanced at Zhao Haochang, the corners of his mouth curled up, suddenly showing a contemptuous mockery like a son-in-law, Quan ruthlessly poked at Zhao Haochang's heart.

    Luo Wenzhou said: "After so many years of hard work, I've been mixed with five people and six people. I almost took one step to the sky. If I didn't take one step well, I slipped down and became a murderer." Please, ah, Zhao Fengnian, I feel sorry for you when I look at you."

    Zhao Haochang seemed to have been stabbed in the chest, suddenly lost control, and cried out hysterically: "What kind of solid evidence is this? You filmed me killing? My fingerprints and my DNA were found on the phone? Zhang Donglai's The fingerprints are clearly printed on the tie. Isn't it direct evidence? Which one is hard and which is soft? Why do you say it's me! Just because Zhang Donglai is a relative of your director? Just because his family is rich? Isn't it your police profession, who knows if that phone is yours..."

    Zhao Haochang roared in one breath, and suddenly saw Luo Wenzhou's slightly playful and sarcastic eyes, he suddenly came back to his senses, and immediately felt a "boom" in his head, all the blood was rushing in all directions, moving towards the stiff limbs. Go wild.

    Luo Wenzhou rested his elbows on the table, leaned forward slightly, and stared at Zhao Haochang's bloodshot eyes: "Zhang Donglai's fingerprints are clearly printed on the tie? Lawyer Zhao, you are better than our forensic doctors, they still You have to hold the instrument to compare for a long time, and you will know just by subjective assumptions."

    Zhao Haochang was dumbfounded, cold sweat drenched silently from his oily hair, and he shivered firmly from the cool, damp air of the air conditioner.

    Luo Wenzhou sneered, as if he had had enough of the mouse cat and lost interest in Zhao Haochang. He pushed back the chair and stood up, lazily nodding at the two detectives who were standing beside him: "Suspect—this time it's okay. Call the suspect, Lawyer Zhao - the facts of the crime are established, the rest are details, and it's not too difficult, just try the first trial, I won't waste time with him."

    After he finished speaking, he walked out. At this moment, Zhao Haochang yanked the handcuffs sharply, while struggling violently, he said loudly: "Wait, I'm... I'm just self-defense. !"

    Luo Wenzhou turned back to look at Zhao Haochang in surprise, and suddenly felt that the so-called "decent" was like a thin layer of paper. Stretched - when Tao Ran and the others were dealing with a group fight in the Huacheng District, the old law blind who was the most violent said the same thing. The sparkling barrister Zhao Haochang and the elementary school security guard Yu Lei were in a panic, but they ended up in the same way. !

    "Am I right?" Luo Wenzhou leaned slightly, "Lawyer Zhao, you, a professional with a formal legal education, call this kind of situation 'justifiable defense'? You hit He Zhongyi with that sap. Did it bite back on your own head?"

    Zhao Haochang's face was blushing, and he stared at Luo Wenzhou with resentment and ferocity. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "He Zhongyi is involved in drug trafficking and pesters me again and again. I really have no choice but to do it when I get here."

    "He Zhongyi was involved in drug trafficking?" Luo Wenzhou's voice sank, "How did you know that?"

    Zhao Haochang's handcuffed hands were on his thighs, shaking uncontrollably, he clenched his fists tightly, his fingernails scratched himself into blood, but he didn't seem to notice: "I have evidence, I have evidence! I know you want to investigate Chen Yuan's case, and I am an important witness! I can cooperate with the investigation, but you must give me a light promise."

    Luo Wenzhou glanced at the surveillance camera, and across the device, happened to meet Fei Du's gaze outside.

    Fei Du folded his arms in front of his chest, leaned forward, and said "um" with interest.

    Tao Ran: "What?"

    "He first thought he had won a big victory, and then immediately experienced a fatal blow, panic, bào anger, and even accidentally cheated by you, and lost everything, but he was able to recognize the situation so quickly and adjust his heart. , to grasp your needs and make suggestions," Fei Du whispered, "really reminiscent of a centipede in a swamp."

    A hundred-footed worm, dead but not stiff.

    Luo Wenzhou sat back across from Zhao Haochang again: "You say it."

    Zhao Haochang took a deep breath: "I need your promise, a clean towel and a cup of coffee."

    In the interrogation room, people were cheating and fighting wits and courage. Luo Wenzhou weighed it and felt that his "promise" was not worth a penny, so he nodded generously: "Okay."

    After a while, a fancy bone china tray was brought in. Wet wipes, napkins, and fragrant coffee were set up. There was an extra dessert and a dewy flower next to it. Luo Wenzhou could smell it and knew that it must be that surname. Fei's grandson gān.

    The clerk and the detective next to him looked at each other in dismay—at the same time, they were angry, they didn't have this kind of treatment when they were on duty during the chūn festival!

    Zhao Haochang's expression slowed down, following the flower, he seemed to have regained a little dignity, and that dignity made him straighten his back and speak human words.

    "At the end of last year, as a legal counsel, I took a team to see clients in the East District of Huashi. I was going to drink that day, so I didn't drive. When I was leaving, I was looking for a rental nearby, but I was followed." Zhao Haochang finished eating slowly, Taking a sip of coffee, he let out a small breath and closed his eyes, "Is it Mandheling, the taste is too strong."

    "Is the person following you He Zhongyi?"

    "Well, he recognized me and asked for money from me," Zhao Haochang's voice had stabilized again, and he just stared back at Luo Wenzhou with unshakable eyes, "Extortion, 100,000."

    Luo Wenzhou took a look at Zhao Haochang—this man has good skin, he can be called tall and dignified, and if he puts on the skin of a social hero, it really doesn't look like he can be coerced by He Zhongyi's small body: "You gave it?"

    "Here, you should be able to find it out," Zhao Haochang pursed his lips slightly. He squatted in the small dark room for a night, with a little dark circles hanging on his pale face, which made his eyes look deeply sunken. "My parents are both disabled. Even me, I have had four children, both of which have problems. Since I was in middle school, my family didn't have a penny to spend on me. Things, helping the teachers in the school with chores, picking wild fruits in the mountains in the middle of the night, saving up and selling them at the town market... I have tried everything, just to keep reading and one day to stand out."

    "But do you know what the villagers say? They say we are a 'dumb' family. Later, I finished high school all the way and was admitted to university, and those people looked at it differently. My family was once a crowded place, and people who came in and out came to promote themselves. The idiots of those village girls at home."

    "But when I was in my junior year, my little brother was born, the second boy my parents dreamed of, but he was born with a deaf and dumb intellectual disability, just like the second sister. It was a nightmare, and since then , in the mouth of the villagers, we have become a 'fool family' again. This is hereditary. In the future, there is a high possibility that my children will be like this, understand? My career has just improved, and I even have a girlfriend , I love her very much, I can't let those mice in the ditch talk nonsense in front of her, so I have to get some money to get rid of him."

    Luo Wenzhou lowered his head and knocked out a cigarette from the cigarette case, held it in his mouth, and looked at Zhao Haochang behind a cloud of very clear white smoke: "The rat in the ditch?"

    Zhao Haochang's psychological quality was excellent, and when he got to this stage, he stared into Luo Wenzhou's eyes without hesitation: "Officer Luo, are you a native of Yancheng? Then you certainly don't know that you live outside alone, The taste of renting a house in the West District, I never dared to hang out with my classmates. When I was in school, I worked hard to earn scholarships, and after work, I worked endless overtime, just to save a little more money for my family. My parents didn’t even know that I was outside. What kind of life have they lived, they will only ask me for money every three days. Because of the problem of my younger brother, they even plan to risk another child to be raised by me. The gossip from the villagers, the pressure from the villagers, It was all on my back in the end."

    "My home is about to suck my bone marrow, but I still have no resentment. I hope they can live better in the village, and even take a special leave to go home to help build a new house. Who knows I'm just going halfway. After a trip to the county seat, when I came back, my house was burnt into ruins because of an accident. My parents, siblings were gone, and none of them escaped... I was very sad, but there were rumors in the village at this time, saying that That fire has something to do with me!"

    Getting to the point.

    Luo Wenzhou asked indifferently: "Oh, does that have anything to do with you?"

    The corners of Zhao Haochang's mouth shrank sharply, and he was furious: "You can ask such a question, are you a beast?"

    Luo Wenzhou raised Erlang's legs, looked Zhao Haochang up and down without being surprised or angry, and when Zhao Haochang was about to endure it, he casually flicked the soot and smiled lightly: "Okay, you are pure and innocent, with a miserable background. , continue to talk about He Zhongyi."

    "I left my hometown and changed my name and surname, thinking that I finally got rid of that ignorant ghost place. Who would have known that after a few years of peace, that rubbish surnamed He found me again. He said that it was not the first time he saw me, and he also I met my girlfriend and threatened me that if I didn't give him money, he would tell Zhang Ting about my family's genetic medical history and the so-called truth about the fire." Zhao Haochang said this, his originally calm attitude seemed like boiling water It boiled like this, and the strong hatred even overwhelmed the aroma of the coffee, as if it literally rushed to my face, "They ruined the first half of my life, and they will ruin the second half of my life. All my efforts and expectations will all be in these disgusting people. The place where the bugs crawl turned into a bubble, why!"

    Luo Wenzhou: "So you decided to kill?"

    "I didn't," Zhao Haochang's chest heaved violently, "I just wanted to put things to rest, I even gave him 100,000 yuan in cash, just to ask him not to mention me in front of others, but he was still dissatisfied, and he entangled several times. , I even prepared to be blackmailed by him for a long time, and specially applied for an anonymous number so that he could contact me."

    "At the invitation of my mentor, I went back to my alma mater to take a junior and senior sister for extracurricular practice. I met Cui Ying. That girl is gentle and quiet, and she is very dependent on Xing. She has to ask me about everything. One day she hurriedly contacted me. I, like something big happened, I listened to a few words, noticed something was wrong, and immediately stopped her from talking on the phone, and made an appointment with her... to a private place. "

    "She showed you what Chen Yuan passed on to her."

    "I was very shocked, but in order to protect Cui Ying, I ordered her not to speak out. I couldn't sleep the same day when I went back. Out of conscience, I decided to use my familiarity with the Western District to verify the authenticity of the evidence." Zhao Haochang gently He said, "As a result, I saw He Zhongyi and another...obviously thin young man hanging out. I squatted nearby until the evening, and saw the young man sneaking to the vicinity of Guanjing West Street, which happened to be mentioned in Chen Yuan's letter. He was a drug addict at a drug dealer!"

    Listening to this description, it seems that it is Ma Xiaowei.

    Zhao Haochang seemed to take a sip of coffee in order to calm his mind: "The boy who took drugs took the goods he bought home, I followed him and saw him go back to his 'home', turn on the lights, and the picture was on the window. Out of the shadows, that He Zhongyi is sharing drugs with him! He even went back on his word to pester Zhang Ting, and asked me to catch him!"

    "The time you watched Zhang Donglai beat someone?"

    "Zhang Donglai beat him, he really didn't dare to fight back, but his eyes kept staring at me," Zhao Haochang said in a deep voice, "He wanted to take revenge, I know, I was afraid, I bowed my head to him again after the incident, gave him the thought things you want."

    "That cell phone." Luo Wenzhou said.

    "He scolded me several times and said that he was envious when he saw others use it."

    Luo Wenzhou picked up a Chinese xing pen bored, turned it around between his fingertips, and tapped the table with the barrel: "Okay, even if he pestered Zhang Ting, you can tell he's taking drugs just by looking at the reflection in the window. , you have clairvoyance..."

    "I said I have evidence!" Zhao Haochang interrupted him aggressively, "I installed two pinhole cameras in the 'Golden Triangle'!"

    Luo Wenzhou in the interrogation room, Tao Ran and the others outside were stunned for a moment—they didn't find it when they checked the scene.

    "Of course it wasn't on the scene, otherwise it would have been discovered by those rubbish long ago," Zhao Haochang seemed to see what he was thinking, and his eyes were a little disdainful, "The roads in the West District are intricate and complicated. It is blocked, and you think it is very hidden in some places, but in fact, you can see it clearly from a certain angle of the building in the distance - I installed one of the cameras on the outside window of He Zhongyi's rented house, and the other was installed on the window. On the roof of a nearby public toilet."

    The clerk next to him was so sweaty that he couldn't remember it.

    Luo Wenzhou: "What did you photograph?"

    "I photographed several changes in the 'Golden Triangle Open Space'. Sometimes there are only drug dealers, and sometimes your police scum is patrolling by and escorting them."

    Luo Wenzhou immediately asked, "Where are the surveillance records?"

    "There is a safe under the floor lamp in the basement of my house, you can check it," Zhao Haochang said happily, "After checking, you will know that what I said is true. He Zhongyi is very careful and usually asks his friends to come forward, but On the night of the 20th, the surveillance records captured the mobile phone that he asked someone to buy from me—there should also be a text message record on his mobile phone, which was a notification that they temporarily changed the location of the mobile phone."

    Luo Wenzhou looked at him with a strange look, and suddenly asked: "He Zhongyi has a note on his forehead with the word 'money' written on it. He came to you that night with a kraft paper bag. Our technicians Analysis, the note was torn from the kraft paper bag and pasted on his head, is that you?"

    "Yes." Zhao Haochang raised his eyebrows, "He followed me to Chengguang Mansion, and he wanted to see me in the name of paying back the money—there was 20,000 yuan in that paper bag, Officer Luo, I ask you, except for Drug dealer, where can a poor boy from out of town get 20,000 yuan?"

    Luo Wenzhou was a little speechless.

    "Let me ask you again, how would you feel when a drug addict who extorted and extorted you suddenly wanted to pay you back? Would you accept it readily and think that he changed his ways? He must be plotting more for you! Give you 20,000 yuan, I want to take twenty or two million out of your pocket! These greedy mud legs, what else do they know besides money?" Zhao Haochang's deep-set eye sockets are like two deep wells, almost opaque, shaking inside dàngdàng, full of icy and biting darkness, "I'm here to protect myself, and also to eliminate harm for the people, police officer, what's my fault when you worms and trash don't do anything?"

    "Lawyer Zhao taught me a lesson." Luo Wenzhou nodded calmly. "Can you give me your safe password? Let's check He Zhongyi's criminal evidence."

    A criminal policeman next to him immediately stepped forward and handed him a pen and paper to Zhao Haochang. With a sneer on his face, Zhao Haochang happily wrote down the password.

    Luo Wenzhou immediately passed it on to Lang Qiao, who was at the "Fengqing Winery". Five minutes later, he received a confirmation text message from Lang Qiao.

    "Thank you," Luo Wenzhou stood up and smiled at Zhao Haochang, "Lawyer Zhao, I only have the last two words left, can you deign to listen?"

    Zhao Haochang was forced to look up at him.

    "First," Luo Wenzhou raised a finger, "He Zhongyi's autopsy report shows that he has never touched drugs. Regarding the mobile phone, the witness's testimony also shows that it was stolen by his roommate."

    Zhao Haochang frowned, and was about to open his mouth to argue when Luo Wenzhou raised his second finger.

    "Second, since you can put the pinhole camera at the outside window of He Zhongyi's rented house, why don't you just put it in the house and shoot him all day long, even taking pictures of food, drink and Lazarus. , Isn't it more obvious whether he is a drug addict or a drug dealer?"

    Zhao Haochang was stunned for a moment.

    "You're too smart, Lawyer Zhao." Luo Wenzhou laughed, "I've caught a bastard like you who doesn't cry without seeing the coffin, I'm deeply relieved, I feel that it's worth all the overtime to spend the foolish time. As for my promise... I'm sorry, I'm also a bastard, I only take it seriously in front of my wife, you, save it."

    After Luo Wenzhou finished speaking, he didn't bother to look at his dog-like painted face, and left the interrogation room directly.

    Tao Ran didn't react for a while: "What do you mean?"

    "Through the picture, it can be traced back to the position of the camera," Fei Du stared at the collapsed Zhao Haochang without blinking, and said in a low voice, "He doesn't care whether He Zhongyi is innocent or not, whether he is really with Ma Xiaowei and the others. There is something involved, since He Zhongyi made a lot of himself, and when he tried to contact him several times, Zhao Haochang didn't plan to let him live."

    Tao Ran's eyes widened abruptly: "You mean that he anonymously sent Wang Hongliang the surveillance records on He Zhongyi's exterior window!"

    "Although I don't know why He Zhongyi escaped this catastrophe, this is indeed Zhao Haochang's logic." Fei Du saw Luo Wenzhou wearing a dress from a distance, and he was walking over half paralyzed with a cigarette in his mouth, and turned around. Head nodded to Tao Ran, "Brother, I don't care about other things, I'll go first."

    After speaking, he adjusted his glasses and walked out slowly. When passing Luo Wenzhou, he glanced curiously at Team Luo's stiff stance, and greeted very politely, "You seem to be I have a little lumbar muscle strain, so you should pay attention to your body when you are old."

    Luo Wenzhou: "..."

    He was both angry and funny, and at the same time, he somehow felt that Fei Du seemed to be a little more cheerful today than usual—perhaps it was because of the re-digging of the old wound from which the pus had been covered up, or it might be painful, or it might be dripping with blood, but there was always a chance to reopen it. heal.

    "Ask you something," Luo Wenzhou said, "do you think Zhao Haochang's entire family was killed by him?"

    Fei Du absolutely refused to cooperate and have a good chat, and replied sarcastically, "Captain Luo, you have been tricked into abducting and cheating for a long time. You didn't deceive who killed the Zhao family?"

    Luo Wenzhou's back hurt so badly that he couldn't stand up straight, so he unceremoniously stretched out his hand and pressed Fei Du's shoulder, using him as a human crutch: "I don't think so, although our little Qiaoer said he kept arson He committed a sleeve, so he must have been at the scene at the time, but I think it was at best hope of death. Generally speaking, crimes have an escalation process, and novice seldom can be organized and planned to kill as soon as they come up. family."

    Fei Du has a meal.

    Luo Wenzhou shrugged: "I didn't shadow you, I've already apologized."

    Fei Du said blankly, "You're holding my hair down."

    After he finished speaking, he tilted his head, avoiding Luo Wenzhou's dog's paw, reaching out and flicking his shoulder a few times in disgust, then floated away.

    "Captain Luo!" A criminal policeman ran over, "Huáng Jinglian was stunned when he saw the evidence, and replaced Wang Hongliang and the others!"

    Luo Wenzhou turned around suddenly.

    "There is also the case of Chen Yuan. Huáng Jinglian said that the reason was that he received a package at the time. After opening it, he found that there was a video of the entire jiāo change process in it. , as soon as I checked, I found the camera hidden on Chen Yuan's body, and only then did she..."

    Luo Wenzhou was stunned.

    Maybe Zhao Haochang's camera was too concealed, but Jinglian and the others missed it, maybe Huáng Jinglian and Ben didn't expect that the person who secretly photographed them would wait for them to check with a fixed camera, so the first reaction was Investigating the inner ghost, the innocent girl accidentally became He Zhongyi's scapegoat.

    And the reckless teenager who didn't know how to read people's faces finally failed to escape the gaze from the swamp.

    "Let's continue the trial," Luo Wenzhou stretched out with difficulty, "let's see who sent that text message to He Zhongyi on the night of the 20th."

    "Yes!"

    The detective who reported it turned and ran away.

    Luo Wenzhou stood there for a while, pondered for a moment, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be a smell around him, faint, wisps lingering across the tip of his nose, and then he drilled deeper. Yes, it makes my chest a little itchy.

    Luo Wenzhou looked around, and finally raised his finger, smelled it lightly, and found that it was actually from Fei Du.

    "Tsk," Luo Wenzhou twitched his fingers in disappointment. Once he found the source, he didn't feel the itch anymore, and he didn't feel the smell anymore.
