Wang Shoucai sat on the chair, holding the teacup in both hands, watching the heat slowly float out.
Last night, news of Wei Chunlai's death had spread within the police station, and Wang Shoucai was also one of the insiders.
However, his mood may be the most complicated one.
Because he was off duty last night, he didn't learn the news of Wei Chunlai's death until this morning, and he heard that based on preliminary judgment, he should have committed suicide.
Opening the duty record sheet, he carefully checked the name, phone number, and address of the person who reported the crime that night.
All kinds of identity information are matched one by one.
His brows knit together tightly.
How could it be such a coincidence?
Is what he said true?
It shouldn't be possible...
After thinking again and again, he stood up and walked to the Criminal Division's office.
At the same time, in the office, Hao Weida once arrived in time one minute before going to work and once again avoided the fate of being deducted money.
"Huh, it's such a close call. Fortunately, I'm very agile."
He lay on the table, breathing heavily.
"Where were you last night? Why didn't you answer my phone?"
"Ah? Well, I was too drunk last night and didn't hear it."
Hao Weida lowered his head and responded casually, but his expression was a little stiff.
"What could possibly make you drunk?"
Yuan Chen asked, and he always felt that Hao Weida's answer seemed to be perfunctory.
"You can drink as much as you want. Why are there so many reasons for me to ask you to drink? Why are you so fierce!"
"Dong dong dong", there was a knock on the door outside.
"Please come in."
A man walked in from the door, wearing a police uniform. He was about forty years old. Yuan Chen recognized him. He was a police officer in the office on the first floor. His name was Wang Shoucai.
"Officer Yuan, regarding the murder case last night, I feel it is necessary to report something to you."
"Homicide?"
Hao Weida put down the bun he was chewing. He was probably the only person in the office who didn't know what happened last night.
Yuan Chen and Li Ting looked at each other, and their expressions became very serious.
"Speaking."
"That's right. The deceased last night, Wei Chunlai, called the police half a month ago, saying that someone was trying to harm him."
He handed the duty record sheet to Yuan Chen, which clearly recorded an alarm message half a month ago.
At 2:30 p.m. on July 26, someone indeed called the police. The address was Building 7, Baiyun New Village, and the person who called the police was named Wei Chunlai.
The location and identity completely match that of the deceased.
"Were you on duty that afternoon?"
"Yes, that day, after the police center received the call from him, they sent me there."
"Can you tell me the specifics of that day?"
Wang Shoucai nodded and sat down opposite Yuan Chen.
"That day, when I arrived at Baiyun New Village, it was almost early three o'clock.
As soon as I walked to the bottom of Building 7, I saw a man waiting there, waving to me.
He should be about my age, in his early 40s, of medium height, wearing a pair of blue cloth casual pants, with a wide cowhide belt tied around his waist. This man's face was tanned red by the sun, and his eyebrows, cheekbones, and chin
, the whole face has clear contours.”
Yuan Chen listened to the description of his appearance and found that he was indeed very similar to Wei Chunlai.
"You said he was waiting for you downstairs, not at home?"
"Yes, it seems that he was waiting there on purpose. He refused to tell me even if I asked him."
Li Ting had doubts on her face, but she didn't speak.
"I asked him what exactly happened, and he just kept saying that someone was trying to harm him and that he wanted the police station to send police around the clock to protect his personal safety, but he couldn't provide any evidence to prove that he was being persecuted."
"Isn't this nonsense? He just wants to find a few free bodyguards without any evidence. Does he think we police officers are idle?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Shoucai nodded repeatedly after hearing Hao Weida's words.
"Officer Hao, you are absolutely right. It is simply unreasonable to ask us to call the police for such a baseless thing. I rejected him at that time. To be honest, I suspected that he had persecution delusions."
"Persecutory paranoia?"
"Yes, it's the kind of person who is not mentally normal. Think about it, once a normal person realizes that someone is trying to harm him, it must be because he knows something. But he just doesn't know anything. He just feels that someone is trying to harm him.
I also asked him who wanted to harm you, but he couldn't tell me, not even a few suspicious names.
A person who is being persecuted or is about to be persecuted, but doesn’t know why he is being persecuted or who wants to harm him, isn’t this obviously a mental problem?”
There is actually nothing wrong with Wang Shoucai's statement. There is no subject who carried out the persecution and no means of persecution. Therefore, the statement "someone wants to harm him" cannot be turned into an objective fact and can only be said to be the result of his subjective imagination.
"Does Wei Chunlai have a history of mental illness?"
"No, I checked it when I went back that day. This is what I can't understand. If this Wei Chunlai really has no history of mental illness, it would contradict the statement that 'he has mental problems'.
Originally, this wasn't really a big deal, but who knew he actually died yesterday. Although I don't know if it has anything to do with the police call he made half a month ago, I still feel it's necessary to report it to you.
"
Wang Shoucai left. As a policeman, it can be said that he completed his task very well and fulfilled his duties, but it left Yuan Chen and others with serious doubts.
Did Wang Shoucai really commit suicide?
At this time, his phone vibrated and a new WeChat message appeared on the screen.
That's a friend request.
The applicant's avatar is a cute-looking cat.
The verification message has only one sentence:
The autopsy report is out, come quickly, you are the only one.
