"I don't have these two stone sculptures at home! I'm so sick that I made sculptures of two bodyguards and put them in the living room? How could I possibly do that?"
"I don't know. I have never been in contact with this person named He. I don't know what he wants to do! I don't know why he came to my house. He broke into a house and robbed it privately! You should arrest him, not me.
I am a victim, why do you arrest me?"
"My wife? She doesn't know anything!"
"I won't say anything now. I want to wait for my lawyer to come. You can arrest me, but what right do you have to arrest my wife? I will definitely file a complaint against you!"
Amid Li Chenggong's excited accusation, Hou Ju left the room and said solemnly to Wang Ju next to him: "Wang Ju, I want to see those two sculptures in person. It's best to bring two experts in stone testing.
"
"Do you think there is something wrong with these two sculptures?" Wang Ju asked.
"I can't say yet, but I think sculpture is not that simple!" Hou Ju said.
"I will send someone to follow up on this matter, Bureau Hou. I can no longer supervise this case with you." Bureau Wang said helplessly.
"What happened? Bureau Hou was startled and asked hurriedly.
"From afternoon to now, the police station has received twenty-seven cases of bizarre deaths." Director Wang said with a wry smile, "Some died while driving a car, some died with their head buried in a bowl, and some died while talking.
dead……"
Just as he was talking, his phone rang. After picking it up and listening for a while, Wang Jie's expression changed and he said in a deep voice: "I know."
"Another one fell to the ground while walking and died!" Director Wang sighed and said bitterly: "Now there is a lot of commotion on the Internet, saying that there is a murderer who uses poison to kill people..."
He shook his head, turned and walked away.
poison?
Hou Ju froze in place for a long time. In the midsummer weather, he suddenly felt cold all over.
"Hou Ju?" the subordinate behind him called softly.
Hou Ju came back to his senses, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled: "Let's go meet this He Xie!"
He now has a lot of questions and a head full of fears.
Outside the interrogation room is the surveillance room, where a police officer is on duty.
"Hello Hou Ju." Seeing Hou Ju coming, he hurriedly got up to say hello.
"Is there any reaction?" Hou Ju looked at He Xie on the surveillance screen, who had his eyes closed and was concentrating.
"He has his eyes closed the whole time," the police officer replied. "He has been sitting for more than six hours since he came in. He has remained in this position and has not moved."
Hou Ju looked deeply at He Xie's face.
Suddenly, He Xie raised his head and smiled at him across the screen.
Hou Ju's heart skipped a beat. He took a deep breath and pushed the door open.
He walked silently and sat down opposite He Xie. Assistant Xiao Lu, who followed him, looked at He Xie and prepared the interrogation record.
There was silence in the room for a moment, and finally Hou Ju spoke first.
"He Xie..." He deliberately prolonged his tone with a smile on his face to create a relaxed atmosphere.
"Actually speaking, we can be considered colleagues. Our main work is investigation and evidence collection." He pretended to smile casually, "The only difference is that one represents the official and the other represents an individual."
He paused, seeing that He Xie had no intention of answering, then smiled and said: "What's even more fateful is that I am investigating Li Chenggong, and you are also investigating Li Chenggong. If we had met earlier, there might be the possibility of cooperation.
, are you right?"
He Xie looked at the person in front of him with a smile and said slowly: "Bureau Hou, do you love your job?"
Director Hou frowned and said with a smile: "It seems I haven't introduced myself yet? Mr. He, you are quite powerful."
He Xie smiled and said nothing, waiting for his answer.
"You asked me if I love my job?" Director Hou smiled, "I won't say anything too high-key. I haven't found any clues, so I always want to investigate further. Every time I solve a case, I can make people happy.
I feel a full sense of accomplishment...I can’t say I love it, I just like it.”
"Because I like it, I am loyal to my duties and my heart." Hou Ju looked at He Xie and asked, "What about you, Mr. He? Are you a private detective because you love this profession?"
He Xie slowly shook his head: "Not at all. I only do this for money, so although I do a good job, it is by no means good, let alone a passion."
He changed the subject: "Ju Hou, do you think a person who has done something wrong must be punished?"
Hou Ju thought for a while and said slowly: "If it just violates the moral bottom line, maybe it won't happen, but if it violates the legal bottom line, then it will definitely happen!"
"Who does the law represent, or what does it represent, in order to punish?" He Xie continued to ask.
"It represents justice and fairness." Hou Jun said with a serious expression, "It also represents social order, the dignity of justice, and the justice that victims demand!"
"I think this is wrong." He Xie sighed, "You are too young, Hou Ju. The law cannot represent anything. It is just a ruling tool made by the ruler to facilitate the rule. What you have given to the law
The meaning is imposed on the law by you law enforcers. In fact, the only function of the law is to maintain stability."
Director Hou raised his eyebrows: "Mr. He's idea is very extreme and dangerous..."
He Xie laughed and said: "A stereotyped society will always set many rules and regulations for people's words and deeds. Some things that are obviously normal are regarded as outrageous and extreme by everyone. Acting chivalrously and taking revenge, how simple it is.
What’s the truth? Why is it punished by law?”
Just as Hou Ju was about to argue, He Xie suddenly said: "So the law is just a tool to forcibly interrupt cause and effect. It does not matter good or evil, or even good or bad. The way it interrupts cause and effect may be stability and balance."
"Mr. He's words... are a bit profound." Director Hou looked at He Xie deeply, "I will definitely think about the truth behind your words when I go back. But for now, let's get back to the business."
He found that he could no longer control the content and rhythm of the conversation, so he decisively changed his interrogation strategy.
"Mr. He, you must know why you are here, right?" Hou Ju said, "You must know what I want to know, can you tell me?"
He Xie said calmly: "Do you want to ask about the deaths of Mr. Zhao and Officer Qi, or do you want to ask me if I have investigated Li Chenggong's secrets, such as the secret accounts he has?"
Hou Ju was extremely cautious in his heart, but he still pretended to be relaxed on the surface. He smiled and said, "If Mr. He knows everything, then it's best to talk about it. I hope we can be honest with each other."
He Xie shook his head.
"You are trying to get something from me for nothing because of your status and in the name of the law." He said, "Hou Ju, why don't we play a game."
"What game?" Hou Ju asked.
"You do five things for me," He Xie said with a smile, "Every time you do one thing, I can fulfill any of your wishes."
"What if I can't do it?"
"Five lives, if you fail once, one person will die." He Xie said slowly.
