After the car parked in the yard of the detention center, a man in his mid-thirties wearing casual clothes hurried over.
"Bian Bureau..." The visitor had just shouted. Before he could say the next words, he noticed Cheng Yu sitting next to Lao Bian, and the second half of the words was naturally swallowed back in his stomach.
Lao Bian opened the door, got out of the car, waved to the man, and said, "Captain Cui, let me introduce you. This is the Cheng Yu I've been telling you about."
Captain Cui showed a look of realization and stretched out his hand towards Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu also stretched out his hand to shake Captain Cui's hand, and Lao Bian continued to introduce: "This is Cui Yu, Captain Cui, the detachment leader of the provincial security department. Speaking of which, you two are somewhat destined, your names are
It’s the same word.”
"It turns out to be Captain Cui, hello."
"I have admired Master Cheng for a long time. I heard that you helped a lot with the arrest of Master Cheng, um, your cousin."
Cheng Yu smiled implicitly and said: "Fortunately, I didn't help the police comrades. In fact, I also know that these matters should not be interfered by ordinary people like us, but this whole case is closely related to our family. Bureau Bian
It's my blessing that you didn't blame me. Captain Cui, please don't stir up old and new hatreds about this matter in Bureau Bian's heart."
Captain Cui laughed and said: "There are some things that, whether it is the police or our comrades in charge of security, are limited by the rules of the law and cannot do this or that. Of course, I am not complaining, I am just explaining the challenges we face at work.
Some unavoidable difficulties. Master Cheng is not an ordinary person. If you come forward, some things will often open the door to convenience. And I have heard from Lao Bian that in this case, Master Cheng, whether it is analysis and reasoning, or judgment and participation in the pursuit
Among them, the performance was remarkable, even better than that of many of our comrades. Moreover, Lao Bian was full of praise for Mr. Cheng when he overcame the money laundering case last time. If Mr. Cheng hadn't consciously led you into a trap, they would have gone to the urn.
Where can we solve such a big case? This will also have great hidden dangers for the security issues we are responsible for. Fortunately, the gang was uprooted at that time, which is a good thing, and Mr. Cheng does not have to be self-effacing."
"After all, I broke the rules. Strictly speaking, there should be some illegal behavior. Fortunately, you are so tolerant..."
"Okay, okay, you two should stop complimenting each other here." Lao Bian was dissatisfied and interrupted Cheng Yu, "Let's go in first. You two will communicate about the more specific situation first."
Cheng Yu nodded and asked seriously: "Yes, Captain Cui, Director Bian just told me about Cheng Fu's current situation. It is not convenient for him to talk about the situation during your handling of the case, and of course he may not know. So, about Cheng Fu
For more detailed information, I hope you will spare no effort to clarify my doubts."
Cui Yu also immediately became serious when talking about Cheng Fu's matter.
"Actually, Master Cheng's current appearance can be traced back to three days ago."
Cheng Yu was stunned. Three days ago, wasn't that when he had not left Wu Dong?
"It's just that we were negligent and didn't pay attention. It's really unexpected. We have been interrogating Master Cheng every day for more than a week. Except for the first and second days, the boy still had some words. By the third
From the beginning of the day, he basically refused to say a word except for drinking water and going to the toilet. But there was no way, he had something related to national security..."
Lao Bian lowered his voice and interjected: "Master Cheng knows about the existence of the dark web."
Cui Yu suddenly slapped his forehead and said with a dry smile: "Look at my brain, I have forgotten this. Then we don't have to hide it. After all, Cheng Fu is a member of the dark web, not just someone who has heard about the dark web and knows
Some people and darknet members on the dark web knew things that our department was interested in. But this guy just introduced some general content that we had already known, and then refused to say anything. We researched
Later, we thought that he must know some things that we didn't know, so we insisted on interrogating him every day. Oh, to say it is too far is to say that Master Cheng has basically stopped speaking since the third day, regardless of whether we
No matter what trick I used, he just didn't say a word. After I discovered something was wrong with this guy yesterday, I started to think back on when he started to behave like this. Then I remembered that the day before yesterday, we completed the interrogation, and he should still be normal.
Then, we sent him back to his room and went back our separate ways. Early the morning before yesterday, we came over again to interrogate him. From that time on, he started to feel strange..."
As he spoke, Cui Yu stopped and reached out to push open a door.
"Come on, come in and talk."
Cheng Yu and Lao Bian entered one after another.
"Call up the surveillance video from the morning of yesterday and the end of the day before yesterday." Cui Yu ordered a young girl in the room, with short hair and wearing casual clothes, who looked about twenty-five or six.
"Come, Mr. Cheng, come over here and take a look."
The lights in the room were dimmed slightly, and a 75-inch TV was lit. What appeared on it was a computer screen, which seemed to be the TV used as a monitor.
With a few clicks of the mouse in the girl's hand, a video player split into two appeared on the TV screen. On the left and right sides were scenes of Cheng Fu being interrogated in the interrogation room.
"Master Cheng, look, the left side is from the end of the day before yesterday, around 11 o'clock in the evening. The right side is early in the morning the day before yesterday, around 8 o'clock, when we just brought him here. Please pay attention to Mr. Cheng.
Is there basically no difference in the movements of these two scenes?"
Cheng Yu looked carefully. The one on the right was a video of Cheng Fu walking from outside the screen into the screen repeatedly. Judging from the walking posture and the posture when sitting down, there were no clues.
Just a few seconds after Cheng Fu on the right sat down, Cheng Fu on the left stood up.
Cheng Yu also carefully observed the entire process from when someone entered the painting to unlock Cheng Fu's handcuffs on the interrogation chair, then cuffed his hands together, and finally led Cheng Fu out of the screen, and could not see anything unusual.
After several observations, Cheng Yu finally understood both videos.
The one on the left is about a minute before the interrogation was about to end, and then someone took Cheng Fu away. The total duration was a little more than two minutes.
The one on the right was empty for two or three seconds. Cheng Fu walked into the screen on his own, bent down and sat down. Then someone helped him unhandcuff him and handcuff him to the interrogation chair. Then someone asked questions on the screen, but Cheng Fu didn't react at all.
, let alone answer the questions, he didn’t even raise his head to look at the person interrogating him.
The entire duration is almost two minutes.
Then both videos entered a loop.
This should be a comparison video specially made by Cui Yu in order to confirm Cheng Fu's state during the interrogation and to find out when Cheng Fu changed.
Without Cui Yu's help in explaining, Cheng Yu could also see that the Cheng Fu in the picture on the left should be completely normal, whether it is body shape, actions or facial expressions, they are all very normal.
But although the Cheng Fu on the right has no problem with his movements when he walks into the picture and his posture when he sits down, the Cheng Fu in this picture obviously seems to be a bit rickety.
Of course, this can be explained by the fact that Cheng Fu was tortured until 12 o'clock the first night, and he didn't sleep long after returning to the room. He was woken up at 7 o'clock in the morning and was interrogated again. However, after Cheng Fu sat down, even though he was still half
Lowering his head, Cheng Yu could also see some subtle changes in the expression on his face.
Cheng Fu had gone through a whole day of interrogation and was very tired, but the expression on his face was vivid, the skin on his face was shiny, and the eyes in his eyes would move according to his gaze, showing that
There was a bit of cunning, and Cheng Yu could even see that Cheng Fu was somewhat irritable and depressed.
But the man on the right, Mr. Cheng, who got up early, had rested at least after a sleep that was neither solid nor sufficient, but the skin on his face was dull, like a man recovering from a serious illness.
The patient's expression could not be seen at all. His whole face was like a wax figure, and his eyes had lost their vitality, completely like a dead fish.
"There is indeed something wrong with the one on the right. His eyes are dull, like..." Cheng Yu was thinking about how to use words.
Cui Yu wanted to blurt out a word several times, but he held back and did not dare to say the word.
In the end, Cheng Yu himself said it: "It's like he has no soul, as if he is dead at this time, but the body still retains the ability to move. Zombie... No, not stiff, just a walking corpse.
"
Cui Yu slammed the table and shouted at Lao Bian: "Look, look, I said you can tell it immediately with just a comparison, right? It's not that I'm unscientific, it's not that I'm feudal and superstitious, you see, Master Cheng is the same
Do you have the same opinion?"
Lao Bian rolled his eyes and said calmly: "Then you didn't notice anything the whole day, and you didn't notice anything was wrong until noon yesterday?"
Cui Yu suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball, his whole momentum deflated, and he scratched his head in embarrassment: "It was indeed our mistake, but at that time, we thought this kid was just resisting, but we didn't expect... Forget it,
If I don’t make excuses, it’s just that we didn’t observe carefully enough.”
"Then how did you find out something was wrong with him at noon yesterday?" Cheng Yu asked to the point.
Cui Yu immediately explained: "At noon yesterday, was it time to eat? Although we were indeed engaging in fatigue tactics during the entire interrogation process, we could not make him hungry. So at one o'clock every day, someone would come from
The intercom on the headset told us that the meal had been delivered. At that time, I stood up, opened the door of the interrogation room, brought in three portions of rice, gave one to Master Cheng, and then temporarily unshackled him and replaced him with a regular meal.
Will the handcuffs make it easier for him to eat? The boy picked up the chopsticks, unpacked and opened the lunch box as usual, and there was no problem at all. But halfway through eating, we suddenly heard water dripping on the ground.
I looked over at him when I heard the sound, and I saw that this kid actually peed like that. He was peeing without even realizing it, and the chopsticks in his hand were still holding the food and putting it into his mouth..."
