Qi Xuechun and Bai Tang started questioning the housekeeper.
"Where were you when the villa caught fire?" Qi Xuechun asked.
"I...I was knocked unconscious. When I woke up, the villa had been burned..."
Qi Xuechun raised a piece of paper in her hand and said, "This is the physical examination report the doctor gave you. Do you want me to read it to you?"
The butler looked away guiltily.
"...The respiratory tract is in good condition, with no traces of smoke..." Qi Xuechun read the key points, "You said you were knocked unconscious in the villa, and most of the villa was burned down, but you were unscathed?"
As for the smoke stains on his face and neck, they have all been removed, and he was not injured at all... Those stains were just smeared on by himself intentionally.
The housekeeper hesitated and said nothing.
Qi Xuechun frowned: "You set the villa on fire, do you know the consequences?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "I...I really don't know anything."
At this time, Xiaolu opened the door and motioned for Bai Tang and Qi Xuechun to go out.
"The test result of the drop of blood in the study came out," Xiaolu said, "It belongs to Ou Fei."
"There is indeed a third person in the study!" Qi Xuechun gradually became clear about the truth of the case.
"Please Ou Fei come over and ask questions." Bai Tang told Xiaolu.
She returned to the interrogation room and continued to ask the housekeeper, "You can continue to hide it, but the truth will not change, and your crime will only be more severe."
Then he added: "We have obtained definite evidence, and Ou Fei is inseparable from this matter."
The butler's expression suddenly changed, "You...I really...don't know anything."
I didn't expect the housekeeper to be a tough guy.
Qi Xuechun was not in a hurry and glanced at the time calmly, "According to the regulations, we can keep you for 24 hours. You can think about it slowly."
After saying that, she picked up the inquiry information and stood up to leave.
The housekeeper watched Qi Xuechun leave with complicated eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Officer Qi!" Suddenly, he finally spoke.
"I don't know anything," he hesitated again and again before making up his mind: "On the afternoon of the party, I heard the master calling the second young master. They had a fierce quarrel on the phone, and the master asked him to come to the house for an interview...
"
"Why did they quarrel?" Qi Xuechun asked.
"I only heard a little bit. After all, it's about the will."
"Has Ou Fei arrived home?"
The housekeeper shook his head: "I went out to do errands in the afternoon. I don't know. I came home at five o'clock and didn't see the second young master."
After saying that, the housekeeper glanced at Qi Xuechun again, "That's all I know..."
Qi Xuechun clearly saw the hesitation in his eyes.
She didn't force it, she just said: "You can think about it carefully."
"The housekeeper must know more than we imagined," Qi Xuechun reported to Bai Tang after leaving the inquiry room, "He seems to be worried about something. I think we can give him a little more time."
Bai Tang did not object, he was preparing to interrogate Ou Fei.
"Team White, I apply to interrogate Yuan Zixin in person," Qi Xuechun asked again, "There are some questions that only Yuan Zixin can explain."
"Her mood is very unstable right now," Bai Tang hesitated, "Let's interrogate Ou Fei first."
Ou Fei was always in a very agitated mood. Even when he entered the interrogation room, he still looked angry.
Seeing Bai Tang and Qi Xuechun walk in, he directly cursed: "How do you police do things? What evidence do you have to break into my company and arrest people? The company's stock has fallen. Who is responsible for this loss?"
"Ou Fei, you should take care of yourself first." Bai Tang said expressionlessly, "On the day of the crime, you clearly went to the villa, why did you lie?"
Ou Fei was stunned: "I..."
"Do you think no one will know if you sneak in through the side door?" Bai Tang then asked: "You had a big fight with Mr. Ou on the phone, and then sneaked into the villa. What exactly did you do?"
Ou Fei's expression changed: "I didn't sneak in. I entered through the side door because I didn't want others to know I was going back!"
As he spoke, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.
Qi Xuechun thought to himself that what he said was true. Because of the dispute over the will, he had not returned home for so many years. It would be a bit embarrassing to go back once in a while, and it was understandable that he didn't want others to see him.
"What did you say to Mr. Ou?" Qi Xuechun asked.
"Ou Xiang must have told you about my father's will," Ou Fei said with a downcast face. "I thought my father asked me to go back for an interview because things had turned around. I didn't expect that he just wanted to scold me in person! I was so angry.
I had to argue with him for a few words and then left."
"What time was it when you left?" Qi Xuechun asked.
"Around three-thirty," Ou Fei replied.
"Who can prove it?"
Ou Fei shook his head: "No one can prove that I still went out through the side door."
"Where were you from 6 to 11 o'clock this morning?" Bai Tang asked.
"I'm a little uncomfortable today. I rested at home in the morning and went to the company at noon..." As he said that, he lowered his head and glanced at his watch. "Officer, please speed up. I have to attend my father's funeral."
"I'm afraid you won't be able to go today," Qi Xuechun said frankly, "We found your blood stains on the carpet in the study room of the villa. According to the test results, it was left on the day of the crime. Please explain clearly."
Ou Fei was a little confused, "Blood stains? How come there are my blood stains in the study? Officer, you must have made a mistake!"
Qi Xuechun continued: "In addition, there was a fire in the villa this morning, which burned most of the villa. Mr. Ou's study was among the burned half of the villa."
Ou Fei looked stunned: "You...doubt that I did all this?"
"Not only that," Qi Xuechun's voice became more serious, "before the murderer set fire to the villa, he locked Ou Xiang and other people in the villa in the attic and prepared to burn them to death."
Ou Fei was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
"Kill Ou Lao first, then Ou Xiang, and you will become the heir to the inheritance." Bai Tang said.
"No, I didn't do it!" Ou Fei shook his head quickly, "I didn't kill my dad, and I didn't set the fire either!"
"I rested at home in the morning... I have witnesses, my wife can prove it." He tried his best to find an alibi for himself: "I left very early on the day of the party, and the housekeeper of the villa saw it... Also, when the crime occurred, I
Not here either!”
Housekeeper?! Qi Xuechun’s eyes flashed lightly.
She remembered the butler's testimony that he went out in the afternoon and came back after five o'clock.
"Where were you when the crime happened?" Bai Tang asked.
"I...I'm at my friend's house."
"What friend? Can you testify?"
Ou Fei was helpless: "Okay, there is surveillance in her community... Officer, can you keep it a secret from me? Don't let my wife know..."
Qi Xuechun and Bai Tang looked at each other and suddenly felt bored.
He kept hiding it, but it turned out that it was something between a man and a woman.
"How do you explain the blood stains in the study?" Qi Xuechun did not believe it immediately.
Ou Fei shook his head: "I...I don't know why..."
Suddenly, his eyes froze slightly, and he thought of something, "I remembered, butler..."
On the afternoon of the day of the incident, he had a quarrel with Mr. Ou and left the study angrily.
When he went out from the side door of the garden, his hand was accidentally scratched by a flower thorn beside the path.
"It was bleeding at the time, and the scar has not healed yet." He stretched out his right hand, and there was indeed a shallow scar of about five centimeters under his little finger.
"Because I was bleeding, I stopped for a moment and found that the housekeeper was not far away... He saw me and wanted to say hello to me. I ignored him and turned away." Ou Fei was a little excited, "Yes, you guys
Let the housekeeper come and he can testify for me..."
As he spoke, he gradually realized something was wrong, "Only the housekeeper saw that I was bleeding. Is that drop of blood the housekeeper... I understand, it is the housekeeper who framed me!"
"Don't get excited, we will investigate clearly what the truth is!" Bai Tang shouted seriously.
Coming out of the interrogation room, neither Bai Tang nor Qi Xuechun spoke.
They brought all the investigation results and interrogation materials of the past two days to the office, and called a meeting with all team members to discuss.
"We can make this assumption," said the senior police officer Gong: "The housekeeper dropped the blood that Ou Fei left on the flower thorns on the study carpet, and then pretended to be Ou Fei and burned the villa. Then the question is, his motive
What is it?"
Then he added: "If the housekeeper is the murderer, what's going on in Yuan Zixin's video? How do you explain the murder weapon in her hand?"
He had to point out the problem: "We have fallen into a strange circle, trying desperately to prove Yuan Zixin's innocence, but the existing evidence strongly shows that Yuan Zixin is the murderer!"
Many police officers bowed their heads and remained silent, admitting that what he said made sense.
Putting aside the emotional factors, this case could have been closed long ago.
"I disagree!" Qi Xuechun retorted, "If the real murderer is Yuan Zixin, what was the purpose of the housekeeper's actions? Who set the fire in the villa? The case itself is full of doubts and cannot meet the conditions for closing the case."
"No matter what the housekeeper did, there is no evidence to prove that he killed anyone!" Police Officer Gong's question was also forceful. "Including Ou Fei, although he wanted his father to change his will, there is no evidence to prove that he killed anyone! We are handling the case.
, what matters is evidence, not idealistic speculation!”
"All my speculations are based on facts and evidence!" Qi Xuechun insisted.
"Then please provide evidence that the other person is the real murderer!" Officer Gong showed no sign of weakness.
"Okay!" Bai Tang stopped the two of them, "None of you are wrong. There are only two days left, and our investigation work will continue."
"Xiaolu and Asi followed me to the funeral site, and the others continued to investigate according to the previous division of labor." He took a look and saw that the funeral time was approaching.
"Team White, I apply to go with you." Qi Xuechun said.
Bai Tang did not reject it and turned around and walked out of the office.
After getting in the car, Astor deliberately sat in the back row with Qi Xuechun and comforted her in a low voice: "Don't be like Officer Gong. He is an old man. He only has one idea about any case. Close the case early and get off work early."
"You don't care if you have any doubts?" Qi Xuechun asked seriously.
Asi was speechless, so he just said that to comfort him. He didn't expect Qi Xuechun to be so serious.
What should he say? You can't say that Officer Gong is that kind of person.
"Officer Gong is not wrong," said Bai Tang, who was sitting in the passenger seat: "He was worried that we would get emotional."
Speaking of Officer Gong, Officer Gong called Bai Tang: "Team Bai, the housekeeper is begging us to allow him to attend the funeral. He wants to see the boss off on his last journey."
He added: "Ou Fei also made this request and said he was willing to go there even if he was handcuffed."
