    Chapter 147 Edmund Dantes (18)

    Xiao Haiyang wanted to smile at him to ease the tension, but the corner of his mouth turned upwards, but he couldn't seem to laugh, and the effect was extremely poor. Anyway, Ma Xiaowei's face turned greener after reading it.

    Xiao Haiyang: "..."

    He had to give up the affinity route, and showed a cold face like a sign in business: "Remember me?"

    Ma Xiaowei nodded cautiously: "Hello, Officer Xiao."

    "I'm transferred to the city bureau now," Xiao Haiyang said. "I came here today to ask you something."

    Ma Xiaowei's hands were tangled together, and he lowered his head restlessly, as if he was dragged out for interrogation again.

    Xiao Haiyang stared at him for a moment: "You have cooperated with our police, we have saved your life, and helped you clear the suspicion of murder, I won't say you are happy when you see me, at least you shouldn't be so nervous - Ma Xiaowei , you actually know what I want to ask, right?"

    Ma Xiaowei's blue veins tensed on the back of his hand.

    Xiao Haiyang: "On the night of May 20 this year, you took He Zhongyi's mobile phone and sold it to a drug dealer. After that, He Zhongyi was killed and his body was dumped to another place. In the early morning of the next day, a passerby found He Zhongyi. Zhongyi's corpse. When the police were visiting and investigating this case, you clashed with local residents and were taken to the Huashi District Bureau together. You leaked words for a while, and let us know that you were at the scene before and after the crime, and the scene happened. Another thing that can't be said in the precinct."

    Ma Xiaowei murmured, "Yes... I have already replaced all of these at the time."

    "I know," Xiao Haiyang looked from behind the bottom of the bottle, "what I want to ask is, did you say it yourself, or was someone taught you to say it?"

    Ma Xiaowei shivered for a while.

    "You are timid, cowardly, and you like to lie," Xiao Haiyang said sharply, seeing Ma Xiaowei open his mouth as if he was going to defend something, Xiao Haiyang interrupted him directly and forcefully, "There is no need to deny it, stealing, Fraudulent personality is a typical feature of drug addicts - you didn't say it yourself at that time, you stole He Zhongyi's mobile phone, and you lied to him?"

    "Then I don't understand," Xiao Haiyang leaned back gently, "Since you're not a real person who can't lie, why can you say anything if the police ask you two random questions? Is it difficult to say 'I don't know'? You knew that Wang Hongliang's people were there that night, so you were deliberately ambiguous, so you weren't afraid that they would kill you?"

    Ma Xiaowei was speechless.

    "Did the person who taught you to do this assured you that Wang Hongliang and the others would be retributed immediately, so you don't have to worry?"

    Ma Xiaowei opened his eyes slightly, this was an underage child after all, and his surprised expression immediately betrayed him.

    Xiao Haiyang went back the night before and thought about how to ask questions for the whole night. His hard work paid off. He looked at Ma Xiaowei's face and said the most important sentence in an orderly manner: "Then let me tell you something, you still remember me. The day I brought you to the city bureau? In fact, that night, Wang Hongliang and the others sent a message to the accomplice who was on duty at the branch, asking him to deal with you as an eyewitness as soon as possible. I will take you away before I start, you are now a pile of ashes."

    The blood on Ma Xiaowei's face faded: "Then, that won't happen..."

    "At that time, you were actually useless," Xiao Haiyang said step by step, "Anyway, the police had already obtained definite clues at that time, and soon obtained the video evidence of Wang Hongliang's crime. Your death in the precinct has no effect, at most Add another charge to Wang Hongliang, he doesn't care about you at all, he just wants you to fend for himself."

    As if Ma Xiaowei was struck by lightning, Xiao Haiyang immediately asked, "So who taught you?"

    Ma Xiaowei's lips trembled for a moment, and after a while, a few words came out: "Yes... it's Zhao, Brother Zhao."

    "Which Brother Zhao?" Xiao Haiyang was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled, "You mean that Brother Zhao, who lives in the same room with you and is known as a fellow of He Zhongyi, is called 'Zhao Yulong'?"

    Ma Xiaowei bit his lip and nodded.

    Xiao Haiyang frowned - he remembered that Wang Hongliang was planning to let Ma Xiaowei take the blame and act as the criminal suspect and show the city bureau the strange and very rough He Zhongyi case, but he knew there was something tricky in it, so he followed the same heart. Confused, Tao Ran visited several of He Zhongyi's acquaintances in private, including Zhao Yulong.

    This person is not a key person, because at the time of the incident, it was said that he went back to his hometown for a funeral, and Xiao Haiyang only learned that He Zhongyi was dead when he called him, and hurried back to Yancheng. In fact, he was not even a witness, he could only say that it was an ordinary visit to understand the background of the deceased.

    Except for him and Tao Ran, no one else may know that there is such a person.

    But when think about it, the clues provided by Zhao Yulong, who is like a passerby, are quite critical - the origin of He Zhongyi's white mobile phone, the conflict between He Zhongyi and Zhang Donglai, all came into the police's field of vision after talking to him. The most important thing is What's more, He Zhongyi was dressed quite formally in order to meet Zhao Haochang at the Chengguang Mansion that day, and the pair of shoes on his feet was borrowed by him, so Zhao Yulong probably grasped He Zhongyi's movements.

    At that time, it was actually Fei Du who first found out about the "Chengguang Mansion", because he happened to meet He Zhongyi asking for directions that day, but thinking about it carefully, with Zhao Yulong's confession, even if there was no chance encounter with Fei Du, the police would Naturally, his vision turned to the Chengguang Mansion, and he realized that the "criminal scene" that Ma Xiaowei hesitated to say might not be the crime scene at all, but something else.

    In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Xiao Haiyang's mind, and he pursed his lips slightly: "Didn't you say that Zhao Yulong went back to his hometown for the funeral that night?"

    "He said that he went back to his hometown, but the next morning, before dawn, he suddenly came back again. Zhongyi didn't come back. The others were not there. I was the only one in the dormitory," Ma Xiaowei said with a cry, "he He woke me up suddenly, showed me the photos on the Internet that you didn't have time to delete, and asked me what's going on... As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw... I saw Brother Zhongyi... I... I..."

    As soon as Ma Xiaowei recalled that incident, he was a little lost in words. He babbled nonsense "you, me, and me" for a long time. He covered his face brittlely, and began to cry.

    Xiao Haiyang: "..."

    He maintained a cold-eyed indifference and sat for a while, and then, for some reason, he suddenly reached out his hand furtively, put his fingertips on it, patted Ma Xiaowei's shoulder carefully, and with a light touch, he shrank back, as if Ma Xiaowei is a humanoid hedgehog who can prick his hands.

    "Brother Zhao asked me what's going on, and he said that Brother Zhongyi is downstairs, and there are policemen below. I couldn't believe it. I opened the window and looked out to see that it was true. I heard Brother Zhao say next to him, 'They seem to have found Zhongyi in that triangle', I was scared to death when I heard it - that's where the 'that' was traded last night, how could Brother Zhongyi have anything to do with them ? He never touches these, I know... My first reaction at the time was that it was broken, and it must have been the fault of the phone I sold."

    "Do you think He Zhongyi saw you selling his precious new mobile phone, so he rushed to reason with the drug dealers and wanted to get his belongings back, only to be killed by those people?" Xiao Haiyang asked, "You did this yourself. Thinking, or someone else misled you?"

    Ma Xiaowei looked at him blankly.

    "Okay," Xiao Haiyang was helpless, and he didn't even know that this stupid child was being used, "then what?"

    "Brother Zhongyi is fine with me, if I hadn't been like that... I wouldn't have stolen his things! I was afraid, so I told Brother Zhao everything and asked him what to do, but Brother Zhao said 'If Wang Hongliang and the others kill someone, Brother Zhongyi will die in vain'."

    Xiao Haiyang heard something, and asked in a deep voice, "You mean, Zhao Yulong also knows about Wang Hongliang and the others - does he take drugs?"

    Ma Xiaowei shook his head: "He's not the kind we are with, but Brother Zhao has been here for many years, and he's been here longer than anyone else. He knows everything."

    Xiao Haiyang frowned again—because when they were talking to Zhao Yulong, they couldn't see that Zhao Yulong was a person who "knows everything". Know nothing!

    Xiao Haiyang suddenly felt a chill on his back: "What did he ask you to do?"

    "Brother Zhao quietly went downstairs and looked around, saying that there was a police car that he had never seen before, and there were little brothers watching, and he said that he also saw the chief of police nodding and bowing," Ma Xiaowei said in a low voice, "Brother Zhao said this The matter must be a big one now, and people from above have come to investigate, and we may have the opportunity to avenge Brother Zhongyi."

    Xiao Haiyang asked incredulously: "Brother Zhao, you can even tell which police car is not from the branch? He also knows Wang Hongliang, the head of the branch?"

    Ma Xiaowei nodded as a matter of course: "Brother Zhao knows a lot of people, and he can inquire about everything."

    Xiao Haiyang is speechless. These little boys who have been running around in the Huahua world before they grow up have a superstition of "personal connections" comparable to a cult. For them, there is nothing that can't be explained with the phrase "someone above". If not, then add "there are brothers in it".

    "Brother Zhao said that it stands to reason that the police will come to the place where Brother Zhongyi lives to ask questions, but the murderers and the investigators are the same group of people, and the questioning is just a passing scene for the boss above. If we want to seek justice, we will I have to let the people above hear it, and I have to go to the sub-bureau to make trouble, but the sub-bureau is their territory. If this happens, it is equivalent to reporting them in front of them. Brother Zhao asked me if I dared. If I dare, I will follow his instructions. If you want to do it, it will be fine to keep it, and it will be released in two days at most, there must be someone protecting me, it doesn't matter if I don't dare, anyway, Brother Zhongyi and I are not related or related, and I didn't intentionally harm him."

    "Brother Zhao also told me a lot of heartfelt words, saying that he had seen a lot of young people like me, but they all rotted in the mud and were dragged outside the city to be burned. Notify the family, some of them are treated as frivolous, parents and relatives do not know, he said let me do as he said, if it can be considered meritorious, in the past, petty theft and 'sucking face' can be written off, and will not be caught. , I can also go to the drug rehab center for free, and after I come out, I will be like an ordinary person, and no one will know that I have gone down the wrong road."

    Ma Xiaowei wiped away a handful of tears aggrieved, Xiao Haiyang unskilledly gave birth to a little compassion, and rarely swallowed the cold and true words "he just wanted to trick you into being pào ash".

    Xiao Haiyang chatted with Ma Xiaowei for more than an hour, before he came to the bottom of his mind. He said goodbye and left. Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, pushed his glasses, Xiao Haiyang turned his head and asked, "Although Zhao Yulong lied a lot, but I didn't instruct you to do anything illegal, why did you seem a little scared when I first came in?"

    Ma Xiaowei raised his head with a pale face——

    "This Ma Xiaowei said that on his way from the city bureau to the drug rehab center, there was a car following him, and then he raised a line of words at him, saying that he did a good job, the person in the car was wearing sunglasses, it was definitely not him. Brother, this incident frightened him, Ma Xiaowei thought it was an irony, something like 'look at your good deeds' and so on, because the private discussion between him and Zhao Yulong was known. Wang Hongliang's party has it. The fish that slipped through the net was threatening him." Xiao Haiyang sat on the sofa at Luo Wenzhou's house, reporting straight with his pen.

    Luo Wenzhou's sofa was very soft, and it would sink into it as soon as he sat on it, but Xiao Haiyang refused to follow the sofa. In sharp contrast.

    Fei Du rested his elbows on the armrest of the sofa against his head, paralyzed into a ball as if he had no bones. Luo Yiguo next to him followed the example, his neck was placed on his lap, and he slept like a cat cake. The stylish trousers rubbed into a pair of wool trousers.

    Fei Du, Xiao Haiyang, Lang Qiao, and Luo Wenzhou surrounded a small coffee table, temporarily using Luo Wenzhou's living room as a stronghold. The phone on the table was connected to Tao Ran, who was still in the hospital.

    "I have an impression of Zhao Yulong," Tao Ran said on the phone, "Not only Xiao Xiao, but I didn't see any problems. If it was true, it would be too scary... Hello? Is the signal bad, why is it always Is there any noise?"

    Luo Wenzhou stood up, and without saying a word, picked up Luo Yiguo, who was snoring against Fei Du, and threw it into the cat's den.

    "I checked the ID card information that we both registered at that time," Xiao Haiyang continued, "There is indeed a person like Zhao Yulong, and he has indeed been to Yancheng, but he returned to his hometown five years ago, and his Mandarin is poor, and we It was not the same person I met that day, and it is said that an ID card was lost locally."

    "The people who live in the small bungalows over there are all the poorest young wage earners. They just arrived and are empty-handed. Although this Zhao Yulong is not dazzling in the crowd, but taking him out and looking at him alone is indeed a bit different from those young people. It's the kind of neat and tidy." Tao Ran said on the phone, "It's my fault. At that time, I just thought that there might be some difficulties in his family and didn't go into it."

    "Then why is this fake Zhao Yulong here?" Lang Qiao asked, "Secretly collect evidence that Wang Hongliang and the others were involved in drug trafficking, and are obliged to eliminate harm for the people?"

    Fei Du: "Listen to what Ma Xiaowei said, this person has been lurking for a long time, and if he really wanted to eradicate the evil for the people, he would have been eliminated..."

    "It's just that I didn't use this chess piece, so I can't help it." Luo Wenzhou picked up his voice and glared at Fei Du at the same time.

    Lang Qiao: "..."

    She always felt that she had made a very wrong question, and she felt that she had nowhere to look, so she had to turn to Xiao Haiyang who was just as redundant as herself: "So who is this fake Zhao Yulong?"
