When I came out just now, I didn't close the door of the interrogation room because I was worried about Wen Xin. In this way, the woman also heard the sound coming from the next door, and shouted loudly: "Don't hit Lao Li, he is not in good health.
Don't hit him..."
As she spoke, she started crying again.
I hurriedly walked in and closed the door. Wen Xin glared at me and blamed me for not closing the door just now. She comforted the woman and said, "Sister, don't worry, the police now don't beat anyone, and we won't beat Boss Li."
The woman still kept crying. Looking at her, I felt so upset that I said, "Stop crying. After I finish asking questions later, you can go and see if she was beaten or not."
After another half an hour, Crazy Brother knocked on the door and came in, telling us that the interrogation was over. When the woman heard this, she looked at me eagerly. I asked Crazy Brother if we could let them meet as a couple. Crazy Brother thought for a while and nodded.
After Wen Xin helped the woman out, I asked Feng Ge how the interrogation went. Feng Ge said: "Li Huiguo admitted to buying poppy shells. The explanation process was basically consistent with what Ma Wu said. According to the amount he purchased in the past few years,
, a sentence is inevitable.”
"What about the murder?" I am more concerned about this matter.
Crazy brother frowned and said: "He said that none of the things belong to him. They built a roof on the toilet, mainly to prevent moisture. When the house was built, the toilet on the second floor was not waterproofed. Every time the couple took a shower upstairs.
, some water will soak into the ceiling of the toilet on the first floor, and in severe cases, it will drip onto customers going to the toilet."
"Since it is moisture-proof, why is there a gap in the board? If there is water, wouldn't it flow out?" I asked.
"The boards were tightly connected at first. After they were completed, Li Huiguo never paid much attention to them. The toilet downstairs is mainly used by customers who eat. He didn't know when it cracked, and the leakage upstairs was not very serious.
, the water that occasionally drips is absorbed by the wooden board, and there is no water flow at all, so no one notices it."
Li Huiguo's answer is quite reasonable. If that's what he said, then someone else put the three stolen items on them. To put it bluntly, someone framed him.
This was my first reaction, because this is not the first time that the murderer in this case has blamed others.
However, Li Huiguo's situation was different from that of Xu Tao. The stolen goods were directly found in his home. Crazy Brother did not dare to take it lightly. Therefore, when the old cat yelled at Li Huiguo, Crazy Brother did not stop him, but secretly paid attention to Li Huiguo's expression.
"Does he look strange?" I asked.
Crazy brother sighed: "He didn't have any expression, and he stopped answering. His face was twisted, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking."
Li Huiguo was once a special soldier and had a very strong psychological quality. It makes sense that he could be so calm.
However, during the interrogation, his attitude made the interrogating police officers extremely uncomfortable. They felt that he was acting like a "dead pig is not afraid of boiling water". I wonder if he angered the old cat like this. I thought,
I asked: "Did the old cat hit him?"
Crazy brother looked at me and said, "If I wasn't here, I really can't tell."
I breathed a sigh of relief and it was good that I didn't fight. However, this put the investigation of the case into a dilemma.
In terms of motivation, Li Huiguo, who is a special soldier, has a strong sense of justice. One of the murder weapons, the hammer, has been confirmed to be his, and the stolen goods were found from his home. When the three murders were committed, he did not have a solid sense of justice.
Based on the presence evidence and these points, we can definitely arrest him first.
However, Li Huiguo himself has not pleaded guilty. There are usually many people coming and going in the restaurant, and there are also many people going in and out of the toilet. There is indeed the possibility that the murderer framed him.
"What now?" I asked.
Crazy brother said: "You go and take a look. I will report the progress of the case to the leader and then make a decision."
In the interrogation room next door, Li Huiguo was handcuffed to a stool, unable to move. His wife squatted beside him, burying her head in his lap, sobbing constantly. Wen Xin was behind her to prevent her from acting excessively, and Lao Mao was
Standing aside and smoking a cigarette.
I walked to the interrogation table, picked up the transcript and read it. There were no contradictions in Li Huiguo's answers.
However, some of Laomao's questions were more instructive. For example, he asked Li Huiguo if he was short of money. After Li Huiguo answered "yes", he immediately asked if he knew that Lu Yushan's mobile phone and watch were more expensive.
It can be sold for a lot of money.
There are many problems like this. However, no matter how Lao Mao tried to trick him, Li Huiguo did not fall for it.
I remembered what Jiang Zi had just said, so I raised my head and asked, "Boss Li, do you drink after closing the restaurant every night?"
Li Huiguo heard that my question was not about the murder case. He looked at me and replied, "I want to drink some."
"Well, being a chef is very hard. Drinking some wine to relieve fatigue will help you sleep. You have been in the army, so you must have a lot of alcohol, right?" I asked in a chatty tone.
"It's not big. I'll get drunk after half a pound. If I'm alone, I can only drink two taels at most." When Li Huiguo answered, his eyes did not flicker.
I thought, two taels is not much, and it is not enough to change a person's temperament drastically, from an honest chef to a brutal killer.
At this time, Crazy Brother opened the door and asked Wen Xin and I to go out, while the old cat stayed inside to guard.
When we got to the next door, Crazy Brother told us that the captain wanted to arrest Li first and then slowly find evidence. This was considered a staged victory in the case.
Crazy brother fought hard, and the team leader finally agreed that we wait until tomorrow afternoon and send Li Huiguo to the detention center 24 hours before the summons time.
I asked Crazy Brother: "You asked him to stay one more day because you wanted to continue interrogating him?"
Crazy brother shook his head and said: "If we send him in now, the people in the town will definitely think that he is the murderer, and there will inevitably be rumors. The matter I contacted before about obtaining the files of relevant personnel and investigating their life trajectories should be done tomorrow afternoon.
We can get the information. I hope that new clues will emerge by then, allowing us to rule out the suspicion of Li Huiguo. Although his purchase of poppy shells is illegal and he will always go to the detention center, this is better than being treated as a criminal.
Let the murderer be strong."
"Well, if we take Li back to the pot tonight, his wife will probably make a fuss at the police station like Xu Hai did last night." I said.
"Can we let the couple stay in the same room tonight?" Wen Xin was a little worried by the woman's appearance and couldn't help but ask.
Crazy brother agreed to this, and Wen Xin turned to me and asked: "Why did you ask Li Huiguo if he wanted to drink just now?"
I took the opportunity to tell me the test results Jiang Zi told me. Wen Xin listened and expressed a different opinion: "Drinking does make people excited, but to complete a careful murder plan, the murderer must not be drunk, not drunk."
In terms of state, a person's consciousness is actually very clear, and his inner thoughts are not much different from usual."
