Just as Wang Lao's second wife and I were communicating softly, Zhong Xinyu suddenly shouted seriously.
I immediately shut up. I couldn't explain why a scholar is rational when he encounters a soldier.
Now that we are in the hands of these police, it would be better to be honest.
Although we are a civilized society now, the police's methods of handling cases are not always transparent.
We have offended Zhong Xinyu and Mu Xue here, and we will probably suffer a lot when we get in.
Then Wang Lao's second wife and I were escorted into a police car respectively. I sat in the front of the police car, driven by Zhong Xinyu, and there was a policeman sitting next to me.
The one on the left is Mu Xue, and the one on the right is a male policeman. He is about the same height as me, thin and has a few sporadic pimples on his face.
After he got in the car, he had a brief exchange with Mu Xue. I heard Mu Xue call her Liu Jie.
After everyone got in the car, Zhong Xinyu started the car.
It was getting dark now, the light outside was very dark, and the few policemen in the car had straight faces and did not speak, so the atmosphere seemed very depressing for a while.
I wanted to say something to ease the current atmosphere, but as soon as the idea popped into my head, I quickly dismissed it. These police officers are all unsmiling masters.
Since they are unwilling to speak, I'd better cooperate with them and choose to remain silent.
Because there was no one in the car to talk to, I felt bored and looked outside.
Street lights have been installed on all the roads in Zhaojia Village. The dim lights illuminate the surrounding scenery, giving everything a heavy and hesitant atmosphere.
When our car passed a certain place, my eyes lit up.
I saw a girl wearing white clothes standing under a streetlight. When the car passed by her, my eyes fell on her, and she happened to look at me curiously.
The moment our eyes met, a strange smile appeared on her face, which seemed like crying but more like laughing.
There was a bang in my head. I had never seen that person before, but the first time I saw her, I was 100% sure that she was the girl in white that Wang Lao's second wife mentioned.
I felt like I was holding the window open and looking outside. She had appeared at Qiangzi's funeral, then at Wang Laoer's house, and now she appeared here again!
"What are you looking at?" I craned my neck to look outside, but Mu Xue pushed me back dissatisfied.
I ignored Mu Xue and continued to look outside, but by this time I could no longer see the figure.
I am inevitably a little disappointed. The girl in white is definitely related to the death of Qiangzi and Wang Laoer. She can be said to be the incarnation of the God of Death, but who is she?
I still can't figure out these issues.
"Hey, let me ask you, what were you looking at just now?" Because I was too absorbed in thinking about the question and didn't hear the question Mu Xue asked me, so she seemed very dissatisfied.
Mu Xue's voice immediately caused the other policemen in the car to pay attention to me.
"I just saw an acquaintance." I looked at everyone with a guilty look and then said.
These people are all police officers, and their insight is amazing. Although they may have noticed that I was not telling the truth, they could not find anything wrong with what I said.
After giving me a slightly thoughtful look, he slowly looked away from me.
I don't plan to tell them about the girl in white.
Because she was too mysterious, she would appear at any time and then disappear inexplicably. If I told her, they would probably think that she was a fictional character that I made up to escape the charges.
After arriving at the Criminal Police Brigade, Wang Lao's wife and I were put into an interrogation room for questioning.
Sitting opposite me were the two policemen I met at the beginning, Mu Xue and Zhong Xinyu.
The atmosphere in the interrogation room was still depressing. Mu Xue glanced at Zhong Xinyu, who nodded to Mu Xue.
Then Mu Xue looked and asked, "Where were you from six to seven this afternoon?"
From six o'clock to seven o'clock, it was probably during this period that Wang Laoer was killed.
"I am at home."
"What are you doing at home?"
"sleep."
What I said is true. I was really sleeping at home during this period!
"Zhao Dongfang, right?" Zhong Xinyu tapped the pen in his hand on the table, "It is very necessary for me to remind you that this is the Criminal Police Brigade, and every word you say may have an impact on your fate.
It will have a major impact, so please be sure to tell the truth.”
Zhong Xinyu spoke very seriously, and when he spoke, he still exuded a dignified aura.
This kind of aura is not something that just anyone can possess. Zhong Xinyu has been a policeman for so many years and has always been a captain. This kind of aura is something he only gradually gained after interrogating countless criminal suspects.
If the person sitting here now is a person with a relatively fragile mentality, I am afraid that as soon as Zhong Xinyu said these words, his legs would have been weak from fear, and no matter what Zhong Xinyu asked next, he would tell everything.
This is a common tactic used by the police when interrogating prisoners, and its purpose is to increase the psychological burden on the person being interrogated.
But man, I have never done anything wrong, and my numerous experiences of escaping from death have already trained my psychological quality to a very good level.
I met Zhong Xinyu's gaze without fear and said, "I know."
Zhong Xinyu raised his eyebrows, with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.
"Why did you appear at the crime scene with Liu Guiqin?" Mu Xue then asked.
"Liu Guiqin came to me this afternoon. She was very scared at the time and said that her husband was killed in her home and asked for my help. I think it is not an option to keep Wang Laoer's body there, so
I offered to go back with her to dispose of Wang Laoer’s body.”
"Why does Liu Guiqin want to look for you?" Mu Xue looked at me straightly. "There are so many people in your village, why does she want to look for you?"
Damn, the way Mu Xue looked at me and the tone of my words made me want to beat someone up. This question was asked as if there was some ulterior secret between me and Wang Lao Er’s wife.
"My grandfather worked as a Taoist priest in Maoshan for several years when he was young. He had some extraordinary skills. Usually when someone's family encounters some supernatural situation, they will come to my grandfather. I have been with my grandfather since I was a child, and I have learned from him.
Now that I have a lot of skills, maybe Liu Guiqin thought I was more reliable, so she came to me."
I roughly reviewed all my answers in my mind and felt that there was nothing wrong with them. Even if they wanted to find flaws, it would be difficult for them to find them.
Moreover, I briefly told Wang Lao's second daughter-in-law before, but he told everything based on the truth. If she was not particularly stupid, her answer should be similar to mine.
If the two people's confessions are consistent, there will be no problem.
After a while, I added, "If you don't believe that my grandfather has been a Taoist priest in Maoshan for several years and that he often helps people in the village deal with various supernatural things, you can go to our village and ask anyone. They probably won't
He lied to you."
Mu Xue looked at Zhong Xinyu, and Zhong Xinyu moved his eyes to me without hesitation, "You don't need to worry about this. We will verify what you said later."
"You said you slept at home from six to seven this afternoon. Is there anyone who can prove this?"
I shook my head, "My grandfather was at home before I went to bed, but I didn't find him when I woke up. I guess he went out while I was asleep."
"Pa..." As soon as I finished speaking, the lights in the interrogation room suddenly went out, and it suddenly became very dark. Fortunately, the backup light outside was still usable, so the interrogation room did not become blind.
For some reason, the moment the lights went out, my heart suddenly shook, and I felt an inexplicable feeling of palpitations.
"Why did the lights go out?" Zhong Xinyu asked.
"I don't know, there's probably a power outage. I'll go out and have a look!" Mu Xue said and walked outside. Zhong Xinyu and I were the only ones left in the interrogation room.
