68, stay at the police station tonight and drink tea
"Who asked you to say this? I ask you a question, and you just answer it accurately. Do you understand the priority?" Officer Wang frowned. In one afternoon, he was hit twice in succession.
If you add in the incident with Zhao Wenjing in the morning, it would be three waves.
I feel like the communication between people nowadays can’t be more direct? Do we have to use so many uncertain euphemisms to express it?
The professional habit of the police is that the other party must cooperate, and it is most comfortable to ask and answer questions.
The so-called "like", "probably" and "maybe" are often very nerve-wracking.
"Then did you drink anything at Zhao Xiaomi's house?" Gu Chen felt that Officer Wang's question seemed a little angry.
For young people like today, whose minds are filled with all kinds of new things, Officer Wang's communication may seem a bit difficult.
"I drank a cup of iced pine nut tea." After a pause, Xiao Shitou continued: "And a cup of ice water, because it was too hot last night."
Gu Chen brushed the notes a few times and then looked up at her: "So, you guys ended up not having fun, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Shitou nodded a few times and said: "Zhao Xiaomi said she would consider it, but she needs to be given some time. After all, she has many authors, all of my type."
The inquiry was paused, and Gu Chen reminded Officer Wang with his eyes to see if he had anything to add.
Finally, with Officer Wang's confirmation, Gu Chen asked some simple questions, including how Zhao Xiaomi behaved in his usual life? Has he offended anyone recently?
But if you don’t ask, you won’t know that this Zhao Xiaomi is really a money addict. Not only does he exploit his authors, he even delays the printing company’s accounts again and again.
In this way, Zhao Xiaomi would offend more than just ordinary people.
"Comrade police, do you... have anything else to ask?" Seeing Gu Chen and the others discussing over and over again, Xiao Shitou asked one more question.
"You should go back first. Keep your phone on 24 hours a day. You are not allowed to leave Jiangnan City for the time being. If you have any questions, we can contact you at any time."
Officer Wang replied with a cold face, much gentler than his previous attitude.
Xiao Shitou quickly stood up and bowed deeply to everyone: "Thank you everyone."
After sending Xiao Shitou away, the interrogation room suddenly became quiet...
Officer Wang kept looking down at his watch. The hour hand at this moment had reached four o'clock in the afternoon, but Zhao Xiaomi's ex-husband Wang Defa was still missing to assist in the investigation.
Officer Wang couldn't help but be confused. He knocked on the table and reminded Gu Chen beside him: "Go and call Wang Defa and ask him what's going on? Why haven't you come yet?"
Gu Chen said "hmm", then picked up the phone and started to make a call.
However, at this moment, a phone ring rang in the passage.
"Hello? I'm here. It's the interrogation room 1 in front of me, right? Okay, I understand."
As soon as Gu Chen hung up the phone, a tall middle-aged man knocked on the door. He stuck out his head and asked, "Who is Officer Gu?"
"That's me." Gu Chen answered simply.
The middle-aged man in front of him had a heavy expression, and his intuition told Gu Chen that this was a man with a story.
Because Gu Chen has entry-level observation skills, he not only has a certain sensitivity to small things, but even the expressions of characters can hardly escape his eyes.
Unlike the first two suspects, the middle-aged man didn't seem nervous or timid, and he looked as mature and steady as meeting a client.
"Are you Wang Defa?" Officer Wang asked him with a cold face.
When meeting someone with such an aura, Officer Wang's expression was not much better.
"Yes, comrade police, I am Zhao Xiaomi's ex-husband, Wang Defa." The middle-aged man answered unhurriedly.
"Do you know why I called you here?" Officer Wang asked again.
"I know." Wang Defa lowered his head, thoughtfully.
"Seeing as Mr. Wang is also a business person, you should know the importance of time." Gu Chen also interrupted, because Wang Defa extended the time by a full hour beyond the latest time required by the police.
If Wang Defa had already arrived near the Furong Police Station, could it be that he had done this on purpose within an hour?
Of course, this is just Gu Chen's guess.
"Sit down." Gu Chen took out his notebook and prepared to question the last suspect.
After identity verification, Gu Chen learned that Wang Defa was a private enterprise owner and his economic relationship with Zhao Xiaomi was extremely complicated.
When the two divorced, they went to court over the issue of property distribution. Even now, there is still a lot of property distribution that has not been sorted out.
After clarifying these issues, Gu Chen began to conduct various possible analyzes based on the relationship diagram between Wang Defa and Zhao Xiaomi.
"The relationship between you and your ex-wife doesn't seem to be very good?" Lu Weiwei asked from the side. She was also a little interested in this man with a cold expression.
"No, that's not the case." Wang Defa denied: "Although Zhao Xiaomi and I are divorced, we are still good friends. I often go to where she lives to find her and even cook for her."
Gu Chen believed this, because Zhao Xiaomi's roommate, Zhao Wenjing, had also said before that Zhao Xiaomi's ex-husband often came to their residence.
The two had quarreled and reconciled before, but Zhao Wenjing felt it was very inconvenient. After all, the house was shared by two people. It would be somewhat inconvenient for a grown man to come here often.
Zhao Wenjing is actually a very conservative woman. She thinks that after Zhao Xiaomi and her ex-husband divorced, it would be better not to see each other every three days. If this was the case, why did they need to divorce in the first place.
But Zhao Xiaomi disagreed, and the relationship between the two became somewhat cold.
"What time did you go to Zhao Xiaomi's house last night?" After a burst of smoke bomb questions, Gu Chen asked the key question.
"Between seven o'clock and seven-thirty." Wang Defa answered simply.
"Are you sure?" Officer Wang on the side expressed doubts and asked him with raised eyebrows: "Judging from your habit of being late just now, it seems that you don't pay much attention to time?"
"You are wrong again." Wang Defa denied again: "I happen to stick to time very much, just because I went on a business trip early this morning, but suddenly I got a call from your police, asking me to put down all the work at hand and start work at 3 p.m.
I got here before midnight, so I tried my best.”
Seems to be invulnerable.
Gu Chen secretly felt that Wang Defa had been guarding against something, as if he had come prepared.
In fact, the police are most afraid of encountering such a sophisticated and scheming person.
Because they would think briefly before making any important answers, which was completely different from Liu Sangui and Xiao Shitou before. These two were as timid as mice, and it seemed far-fetched to say that they would kill someone.
But there are no absolutes in everything, which does not mean that timid people will not have murderous motives, but calm people must be too murderous, and they must rely on evidence in everything.
"I have nothing more to ask, Senior Brother Wang, Senior Sister Lu, please continue." After Gu Chen briefly explained a few words, the questioning process was handed over to Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei.
Gu Chen took out his mobile phone, edited the text message and sent it.
The inquiries continue…
Officer Wang felt that he had met his opponent today.
Wang Defa's answers were almost impeccable, and sometimes he would ask rhetorical questions, which once made Officer Wang a little embarrassed.
Just when everyone was thirsty, Comrade Lao Zhang from the third group suddenly walked in with a bag of iced drinks: "I just went to buy some drinks, do you want them?"
"Lao Zhang, when did you become so generous?" Lu Weiwei's eyes widened when she saw the drink.
"What are you talking about? I am very generous, okay?" Comrade Lao Zhang said, and distributed the drinks to everyone.
Gu Chenduo took out a bottle of iced Coke, then walked up to Wang Defa and said, "Here, you can have a bottle too. I feel a little sorry for having you running back and forth on such a hot day."
"I'm sorry." Wang Defa suddenly refused: "My stomach is not good and I can't drink iced drinks. I only drink mineral water."
As a person who often runs business, Wang Defa is indeed more self-disciplined.
But at this moment, Gu Chen put the iced drink on the table and said to him with a smile: "I think so, don't leave tonight, stay at the police station to drink tea."
