Late at 12 o'clock. Zhongjiang No. 1 Community.

In order not to disturb residents' rest, all police cars turned off their sirens and lights. Building 16 has been surrounded by special police. The lights in Room 501 of Unit 2 have been turned off.

According to the feedback from Deng Ru and Ding Yiran, Xie Yuan drove back to his residence at 7:10 pm. After half an hour, he walked out of the community, as if he was going out for a walk. At 8:40 pm, Xie Yuan, his wife Tian Shan and daughter Xie Ziyao walked back to the community together, and did not go out again. The lights in Room 501 of Unit 2 went out at 11:30 pm.

He Xiaohui and Zhang Pengfei first entered the building for investigation and found that the entrance door of Room 501 faced the elevator, making it inconvenient to hide people in front of the door. So He Xiaohui made the following action arrangements downstairs:

"Because Xie Yuan's daughter is at home, we try not to make any noise in this arrest operation. Pengfei, Deng Ru, two special police and property staff followed me upstairs. After a while, I knocked on the door and said that there was a leak downstairs and Xie Yuan needed to go downstairs to take a look. You are hiding in the escape stairs, and you will get into the elevator after we and Xie Yuan enter the elevator."

"Captain He, I will go up with you too." Su Le said.

"No need, you can stand below to help us." After He Xiaohui said that, he waved his hand and called the property staff over to explain in detail.

The on-duty staff of the property was a girl. She had seen such a big scene and was already nervous at this time. He Xiaohui and she repeatedly explained the situation and practiced it several times before the on-duty girls of the property gradually settled down. Then everyone got on the elevator together.

"Ding Dong."

The property staff pressed the doorbell of Room 501, and the doorbell sounded very loudly late at night. After about a minute, He Xiaohui heard footsteps starting to appear behind the door. The visitor paused behind the door before slowly opening the door. He Xiaohui guessed that he must have observed carefully through the door mirror. The person who opened the door was Xie Yuan, who was wearing pajamas.

"Hello, I am the on-duty staff of the property. I'm sorry to disturb you so late." The property said politely.

"What's wrong? We're all asleep." Xie Yuan asked in a low voice, as if he was worried about disturbing his family's rest.

"That's right." The property also lowered his voice and said:

"This is a resident on the 4th floor. She reported that the ceiling in her home was leaking and wanted to ask you to go down and take a look."

"Livery? It's impossible." Xie Yuan asked in confusion.

"Brother, it's really leaking. Otherwise, I'm not so late, please trouble you." He Xiaohui said.

"But there is no overflow in our house," Xie Yuan said.

"We don't know this either. The property management team has also visited our house just now. It's indeed a leak. You can go down and take a look." He Xiaohui said with an innocent expression.

The girl in the property nodded repeatedly,

"Oh, okay, I'll go put on a dress." Xie Yuan turned around and walked into the house. He Xiaohui cleverly grabbed the door handle, but Xie Butyuan didn't care.

Not long after, Xie Yuan put on a coat and came out. After he went out, he carefully closed the door. The property owner pressed the elevator door and He Xiaohui asked Xie Yuan and the property owner to enter the elevator first. Then Zhang Pengfei and the others all came out from behind the fire door and squeezed into the elevator.

"Ah, what are you doing?" Xie Yuan suddenly became nervous when he saw so many people coming in.

He Xiaohui made a ban on voice gesture and pointed outside again. Then she took out her ID and said to Xie Yuanliang:

"Don't be afraid, we are policemen and you need to cooperate with the work. If you don't want to disturb your wife and children, be honest."

After hearing He Xiaohui's words, Xie Yuan stopped talking, but his expression became more and more nervous.

Everyone came downstairs and asked Xie Yuan to take a seat in the police car, showed him his detention certificate, and after signing, he handcuffed him.

Interrogation room of Dongcheng Branch.

Xie Yuan sat on the chair with a flushed face. Only then did he understand what was going on. He kept looking around, as if he wanted to adapt to the environment here as soon as possible. Seeing Zhang Pengfei and Su Le walked in, he looked at them in surprise and said:

"You guys are police!"

Su Le poured a glass of water and took it to Xie Yuan and said to him:

"Yes, we're meeting again."

"Why are you arresting me?" Xie Yuan asked dissatisfied.

Su Le did not answer, sat back to the interrogation table, turned on the computer to prepare the record.

"What's your name?" Zhang Pengfei began to ask according to the process.

"Wait for a moment, I want to inform my family first."

"Yes, please tell your family's phone number and we'll call her right away."

Xie Yuan reported a mobile phone number and said:

"Please try to be more tactful and don't scare her."

"Okay, we'll pay attention."

The inquiry continues.

"Does Mr. Xie like exercise?" Zhang Pengfei asked.

When Xie Yuan heard this question, he looked confused:

"I don't like it. Except for sometimes going out for a while at night, I basically don't exercise."

“Do you like climbing mountains?”

"No, how could I climb the mountain like this?" Xie Yuan showed a self-deprecating smile.

"Okay, think about it carefully, why we asked you to come here? If you say it yourself, we can be considered as surrendering yourself." Zhang Pengfei induced Xie Yuan.

"Comrade Police, I really haven't broken the law. My company operates in compliance with regulations. I never evade taxes, and I never do illegal business. If you don't believe it, you can go and check it casually." Xie Yuan spoke with a very righteous look.

"I can remind you that we are criminal police." Zhang Pengfei slowly looked at Xie Yuan and said this.

Xie Yuan seemed to be shocked by Zhang Pengfei's words, and his eyes instantly became bigger, but after a few seconds they narrowed again. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at the walls again, as if thinking about something. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Pengfei in confusion and said:

"Criminal Police? Did I violate the criminal law?"

"You know whether it is a violation of the criminal law. We did not bring you here for no reason."

Xie Yuan lowered his head again, pondering for a longer time this time. Then he picked up the cup in front of him, drank the water inside, and said to Zhang Pengfei:

"I really don't know what I've committed."

"Okay, since you volunteered to give up the opportunity to surrender, I will remind you another word." Zhang Pengfei paused for a moment and continued:

"You confirm that you give up the opportunity to surrender?"

"Yes." Xie Yuan nodded.

"Where did you go from 10 to 12 pm on June 15?" Zhang Pengfei's voice became stern.

"On the evening of June 15th? I think about it." Xie Yuan seemed to be mentally prepared for this question. He raised his head and looked upwards, his eyes were constantly turning, and all this did not escape the eyes of Zhang Pengfei and Su Le.

After a moment, Xie Yuan looked at Zhang Pengfei and said:

"Today is Saturday, June 20th, and it should be Monday, the 15th. I was in a bad mood after get off work that day, so I drove around the city and went home until 12 o'clock in the evening after dinner."

"Where did you go after get off work?"

"I drove around Nancheng first, and then had a meal at a small restaurant in Nancheng. After dinner, I drove home. When I got to the vicinity of my home, I suddenly wanted to go to the pedestrian street alone, so I parked my car in the parking lot west of the pedestrian street."

"What's the name of the hotel?"

"It seems like it's called Sijihong. If you don't go there often, you can't remember it very clearly."

"What did you do after parking?" Zhang Pengfei continued to ask.

"After I stopped the car, I suddenly didn't want to go shopping in the pedestrian street. I sat in the car for a while, and then drove to catch the wind for a while."

"When did you drive out of the parking lot? Where did you go?"

"I can't remember when it was. Later, after I came out of the parking lot, I drove to the riverside."

"What are you doing on the riverside?"

"I didn't do anything, I just went to the river embankment to blow the river breeze, and I went home in a while."

"Xie Yuan, I hope you will give it honestly. If we don't have certain evidence, we will not invite you here. I hope you can think clearly about this." Zhang Pengfei's tone became more and more severe.

"It's really that way, I didn't hide anything." Xie Yuan said innocently.

"Where did you park your car when you went to the river embankment?"

"Just on the road, that road is very wide, and there are no cars at night."

"Where is the exact location?"

"What is the specific location? I think about it." Xie Yuan tilted his head and thought for a while and said:

"I looked too far ahead of Shengli Road, so I didn't go forward."

"Then what have you seen when you get out of the car?"

"It's nothing, there is not a single person on the river embankment. I stood for a while and then got down."

"Nonsense!" Zhang Pengfei slapped the table suddenly.

Xie Yuan was startled by Zhang Pengfei and didn't know how to answer. He looked at Zhang Pengfei and Su Le with an innocent expression.

"Xie Yuan, you are a smart person. You know whether you have violated the law or not. If we don't have certain evidence, we will not bring you here. I think you should explain it well and strive for lenient treatment." Su Le stopped his busy fingers on the keyboard, raised his head and said to Xie Yuan.

"Officer Su, I really didn't hide anything. Please believe me." Xie Yuan still refused to give in.

Su Le was about to continue to ask questions, but the door of the interrogation room was pushed open. He Xiaohui walked in and said to Zhang Pengfei:

"Let's take a break."

Zhang Pengfei and Su Le followed He Xiaohui out of the interrogation room. Zhang Pengfei asked in confusion:

"Why stop?"

"I have been observing next door and found that Xie Yuan is very cunning. He doesn't take the initiative to reveal any clues. This is how he is testing how much we know."
