"Mei Qian, for all the questions I ask next, you only need to answer yes or no, and there is no need to say anything else. Do you understand?" The polygraph expert specially hired by the criminal police detachment explained to Mei Qian across the table.
.
Mei Qian nodded calmly: "Understood."
"Okay! Let's officially start now." The expert said, but in fact he was carefully observing the other person's facial expression. After a while, he spoke again.
"Your real name is Mei Qian, right?"
"yes!"
"Are you a pet person?"
"no!"
"Are you an impulsive and angry person?"
"no!"
"Do you have any memories of yourself from five years ago?"
"No!"
"At noon today at the funeral home, were you intentionally killing people?"
"no!"
"Do you like to read books?"
"like!"
"Did you like playing football when you were a kid?"
"Not sure!"
"Do you think the deceased at noon is a threat to you?"
"yes!"
"Do you think the deceased wanted to kill you?"
"yes!"
"Have you ever had any murderous intention towards the deceased?"
"yes!"
"Did you mean to kill her?"
"no!"
"Were you attacked at noon?"
"yes!"
"Do you think you were acting in self-defense?"
"yes!"
"Did you feel angry at that time?"
"yes!"
"you……"
The police station's polygraph examination of Mei Qian lasted for a full hour.
But after it was over, his test results were presented to the person in charge of the case in less than ten minutes.
"Judging from the polygraph results alone, Mei Qian did not lie. His breathing, heartbeat and other data showed normal during the test."
Qin Sen took a thick stack of printing paper and flipped through it quickly. When he saw the results of the report, he frowned and glanced at the expert: "What do you think?"
The expert smiled bitterly: "He was too calm, and the test data was too normal. I always feel that something is not right, and I guess it won't be accurate this time. How about finding time to do it again?"
Qin Sen shook his head: "He can hide from the machine this time, and he can do it next time. There is little point in doing it again. And the polygraph results cannot be used as evidence in litigation, so that's about it."
After seeing off the experts, he turned to Zhang Yu, who was drinking tea at the side: "This time you are responsible for escorting Mei Qian."
Seeing the other party nodding, he couldn't help but warn: "It's too dangerous for him to go crazy. Bring a few more brothers to make sure nothing goes wrong." After a pause, he added: "You should also take your gun and pay attention to safety."
"Understood!" Zhang Yu smiled and drank the tea in the cup...
"What do you think?" On the prison car heading to the detention center, Zhang Yu asked directly with a cold face without caring about the other people in the car: "It's very comfortable to be detained, right? The captain has already arrived, please calm down."
If you hand people over to the police, will you end up in this situation? Is it worth it if you even give up your future and freedom?"
Mei Qian in front of him just lowered his head and flicked the handcuffs on his wrists without saying a word.
Seeing the other party's attitude, Zhang Yu threw away Li Chen's arm that was blocking him, raised his finger and pointed at Mei Qian's nose: "Yes, you don't trust our police, but do you know that you are playing with fire? If you are not careful, you will be in trouble for the rest of your life."
If you go in, you won’t regret it?”
"She is a dangerous person, and I am in self-defense." In response to his question, Mei Qian finally raised her head and answered solemnly.
"Go to hell with your defense!" Zhang Yu seemed to be amused by his harsh words. After a moment, he darkened his face again and cursed fiercely. Then he straightened his police uniform, sat back in his seat, lowered his head and looked at his mobile phone.
Don't speak again.
This reaction made Li Chen feel relieved. He had never seen his master so excited. At that moment, he was so angry that he didn't dare to speak out.
After that, no one talked in the car, but Mei Qian smiled softly, looked at the lights passing quickly outside the window, and sighed in his heart.
Zhang Yu is a good friend, but he is also very sensitive, so he hits all the marks!
He was indeed impulsive because of hatred, just as Zhang Yu said.
He didn't trust anyone but himself, and he didn't want to face uncontrollable risks in the future. Well, it was indeed intentional murder.
But as a witness to the attack and a witness to the crime scene of the Hot Spring Villa employee, what reason did he have to let the woman go?
Her brother forced innocent civilians to explore the graves, while she secretly helped criminals kill people.
Why should he regret killing a poisonous snake?
-------------------
Life in the detention center is boring, harsh and rigid.
Mei Qian, who entered the palace for the second time, felt that it was not as difficult as the first time.
At least, the food is much better. I don’t know if it’s Maomao or Ning Chi. Well, the latter may be better. Because he understands the rules, he immediately transferred money to his account after receiving the news.
He behaved very honestly this time and did not hit anyone and was punished like last time. He could buy some stir-fries and snacks to beat his teeth as a gift. Finally, he no longer had to eat or drink on others like he did the first time.
Probably because of his tough talk, the number of police interrogations was not many. Mei Qian stayed in the cell every day, working and living like everyone else. The rest of the time, he paid attention to the progress of the case and waited quietly.
Of course, no one tipped him off. Compared to others, Mei Qian had a natural advantage. This case was too big and attracted too much attention.
Even if he can only see outdated newspapers, he can still find records about himself in them.
Judging by the time, as soon as he was arrested and taken to the police station, the public opinion in the outside world was already in an uproar. The Internet was not clear, and the newspapers were full of criticism.
For example, "Just after receiving the honor of being a citizen, the writer Mei Qian killed someone in public!"
"Moral turpitude: Well-known author commits murder in front of police."
News or editorials with titles such as "What made writer Mei Qian embark on the path of crime?" can be seen in almost every newspaper.
Mei Qian completely regarded the above content as a story. After all, he had anticipated it and had been baptized by the storm of public opinion. These things could not break through his psychological defense line.
After this momentum lasted for several days, the direction of the wind gradually changed.
Mei Qian suddenly realized that he had underestimated the efficiency of the police and overestimated Shen Xiaoling.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She is too complicated to think of, and she is too far behind her cautious brother You Xiude.
Think about it, how strict can a crazy woman who dares to come to seek revenge personally without even understanding her opponent's situation be?
Shen Xiaoling's information was extracted one by one, and under the investigation of police experts, the identity of the person behind the attack was completely confirmed.
As a result, the content in the newspaper went from cursing and criticizing to watching with limited sympathy, and finally completely divided into two groups.
Exactly one month after Mei Qian entered the detention center, I looked back at the newspaper from a week ago. The content in the newspaper had already begun to discuss whether Mei Qian's murder was legitimate defense or excessive defense as the official disclosure of the case was gradually revealed.
Seeing this, Mei Qian knew that his confession had been accepted by the authorities, and he was one step closer to the final result. And he was also prepared to face all the consequences.
It is worth mentioning that Lu Tianlu felt unsure this time, so he authorized Mei Qian to spend a lot of money to invite his mentor from the law school, an experienced old professor.
Once the trial begins, the other party will plead not guilty for him.
However, the old professor with high morale may be of no use this time.
It was exactly the same as last time, freedom still came so suddenly and uniquely, leaving no one mentally prepared at all.
Mei Qian was detained in the detention center for the second time and stayed in the detention center for a total of thirty-four days.
On the morning of the thirty-fifth day, a boring weekend, Mei Qian was playing cards with someone when he heard his name ringing outside the cell. Without thinking, he threw the playing cards drawn on paper onto the bed and stepped on his slippers.
He walked to the door and stretched out his hands.
He didn't get handcuffs, but a decision not to prosecute.
Then he looked at the content above and felt a little dazed.
But it was very strange that when the shackles were removed, his first thought was not that he was finally free again, but that he was complaining in his heart.
Fuck, yesterday’s instant noodles were all for nothing…
--------------------------
When Mei Qian walked out of the steel gate again, he was in a wonderful mood at first. Who really likes squatting in the detention center and eating instant noodles?
But after he turned on his phone and sent messages to his friends, he just felt cold and couldn't feel happy at all.
It wasn't because of the literary youth in his heart that made him express any emotion, it was just because he was cold.
The biting north wind howled, making Mei Qian, who had been staying in the warm room, a little uncomfortable.
Especially his head, because he thought he would be squatting for a year and a half this time. He had just shaved his head this morning, and when the cold wind blew, it was like countless steel needles pricking his scalp, which felt so sore.
I rummaged through my backpack and couldn't find a hat, so I could only stand in the cold wind and wait under the stop sign, hoping that a taxi would arrive in time.
In the end, he found that the bus was more reliable, so he quickly jumped on the bus and scanned the QR code to pay.
There were not many people in the car, but almost everyone's eyes were on him, and they subconsciously turned aside to avoid him when he passed by.
Even if this was invisible discrimination, Mei Qian turned a blind eye and found a seat casually.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he sat down, someone tapped his shoulder.
"Mei Qian?" A young voice sounded.
Mei Qian turned around and looked around, and saw a young man wearing a red down jacket, pointing his cell phone at him, and couldn't help but frown: "Who are you?"
"It's really you. Are you being released? The last time you took the bus, I took a short video of you." The young man was very enthusiastic.
Mei Qian twitched the corner of his mouth. He had no memory of the person in front of him, but the short video called "Mei Qian is out of jail" was deeply memorable.
"You did the right thing this time, those criminals should die. Our whole family supports you." The young man ignored his expression and made a cheering gesture to himself.
"Thank you, thank you!" What could Mei Qian say? He could only nod his head to express his gratitude.
But for some reason, when he saw the enthusiastic and excited young man in front of him, he couldn't help but recall the scene of him being taken into the police car a month ago, and it seemed that countless voices calling him a murderer were ringing in his ears again.
And just when he was lost in memories, a pleasant ringtone suddenly came from his body, and he realized for a moment that there was a call.
At first glance, it turned out to be that guy Zhang Yu.
"Why did you get in the car? You couldn't even hear me when I pressed the horn for so long?" As soon as I answered the call, there was a burst of complaints from the other side.
Mei Qian was stunned and looked outside the bus. Sure enough, he saw Zhang Yu waving to him from the driver's seat of a white SUV.
"I didn't expect you to come to pick me up." He smiled bitterly.
"Stop talking nonsense, get off at the next stop and tell you something." Zhang Yu said this and hung up the phone.
