Chapter 35: The Interrogation Begins
The three of them parked their motorcycles in the patrol room. Cheng Shi said to the two of them: "It's best that only a few of us know those information materials for the time being!"
Feng Tao nodded and said: "Yes, I will go back and screen them in the evening, pick out the guilty ones, and then decide what to do!"
Deng Xin was a little confused, but she still agreed: "Okay, I will keep it a secret!"
While the three of them were discussing, a patrolman quickly came to Feng Tao and said excitedly: "The identity of the deceased has been found!"
When Feng Tao heard this, he quickly followed the patrolman into the arresting room. Deng Xin saw this and whispered to Cheng Shi beside him.
"Even if we don't take those things back to the prison, why would Brother Cheng put all that information in his place?!"
Cheng Shi looked at Deng Xin who looked unconvinced and said, "Do you think that will be of any benefit to us? It's just a hot potato!"
After hearing this, Deng Xin said doubtfully: "Feng Tao is not stupid. If it is a hot potato, why would he take it to his own home?!"
Cheng Shi continued: "I can see that Feng Tao is a person with a strong sense of justice, and he also knows that this information has reached the arresting room!
He couldn't control it at all, and he didn't want those criminals to continue to be at large, so he had no choice but to accept my proposal!"
Deng Xin then said with a smile: "I understand. If the thing he left behind is finally exposed, I am afraid that even though he has made a lot of credit, he will not be able to live with it!"
The two of them then walked into the arresting room and saw Feng Tao sitting on a chair, listening to a patrolman reporting with a notebook!
When the two of them saw this, they also gathered around. The patrolman was talking about the deceased's information: "The deceased male in the factory was named Lei Fugui. He was 41 years old and was in the medicinal materials business!
He also runs several pawnshops, and his total assets are hundreds of thousands of dollars. He also has three properties and a black car under his name!"
Deng Xin scratched his head and said with a smile: "This guy is indeed rich enough. It would be great if all the money belonged to me!"
Deng Xin saw the patrolman looking at her in surprise, and said embarrassedly: "It's just a joke, keep going, keep going!"
The patrolman despised Deng Xin in his heart, but who wouldn't be tempted by so much money? He calmed down and continued to introduce.
"His business is doing pretty well and his reputation is good. He just has a gambling problem, and he got into fights with people because of it and was sent to the police station!"
"Is this person related to Luo Yunhua?!" Feng Tao asked.
The patrolman continued: "According to the information currently available, he and Luo Yunhua have no intersection in life, but Luo Yunhua has interviewed him twice!"
Feng Tao looked at Cheng Shi beside him, and the two nodded, already understanding the connection between the two!
The patrolman continued: "However, it was only an interview, the two had no interaction, and the deceased in the hotel!
So far, no information about him has been found. He is probably not a long-term resident of the French Concession, and a thorough investigation is needed!"
Feng Tao waved his hand and said: "Very good, continue to investigate his identity, you go down first!"
Deng Xin chuckled, walked over and patted Feng Tao on the shoulder and said, "It seems that this Lei Fugui has something in Luo Yunhua's hands!"
"I took a quick look, and there was no Lei Fugui in that notebook!" Feng Tao quickly slapped Deng Xin's hand away and replied.
Cheng Shi said from the side: "After all, someone has opened the secret compartment and tore out a few pages. Is there only one notebook in it?!"
Deng Xin was slapped away by Feng Tao and snorted unhappily. He didn't like people like Feng Tao, but he didn't say anything!
Feng Tao then nodded and said: "Yes, after all, someone has already been there. The secret may have been taken away by the murderer, and then the secret was used to lure Lei Fugui to the abandoned factory!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "We'll talk about this later. Let's interrogate those five people first. You or I?"
Feng Tao felt particularly relieved to see Cheng Shi so focused on solving the case, ever since he came to the patrol room to handle the case!
He seemed to be the only one around him who was very interested in the case. Everyone else regarded solving the case as their job. He always felt lonely inside.
However, today was different. He felt that he had met like-minded people, and he was also very convinced of Cheng Shi's ability.
Now that the two of them are still in the same group, Feng Tao actually has a strange feeling in his heart that the two of them can become friends!
Feng Tao was a little stunned when he thought of this. Friends, a word that was a bit far away for him, because he had been lonely in the past few years.
Feng Tao was very excited at this time. Facing Cheng Shi, he showed a smile that he had not done for a long time and replied: "You can judge it!"
Seeing Feng Tao's weird smile, Cheng Shi was suddenly shocked. What was wrong with Feng Tao? Wasn't he trying to do something to himself?!
Fortunately, Feng Tao's strange smile only faded away briefly, and his iceberg face soon returned. Cheng Shi felt relieved!
…………
Interrogation room.
Cheng Shi was sitting in the main seat, with a patrolman taking notes next to him, while Deng Xin and Feng Tao were sitting at the door.
The man opposite Cheng Shi said angrily: "Detective, how long do you want me to stay here? I know what I told you half a year ago, so why are you asking me to come here?"
"Of course there is something wrong with letting you come here!" Cheng Shi glared at the other party fiercely and said sternly: "If you have committed anything, you should tell the truth!
This is giving you a chance. If we tell you what happened, you won’t have the chance to make meritorious deeds!”
The man said impatiently: "Aren't we the ones who reported the case? You couldn't find the murderer for half a year. Do you want to use us as a scapegoat?!"
At this time, Cheng Shi slammed the table and said angrily: "We have found that notebook, aren't you going to tell the truth?!
It seems like you really want to go to prison and live there?!"
"Ah?!" Yang Lixin groaned, staring directly at Cheng Shi and said, "I don't know what notes you are talking about?!"
"Really, then take a look at this!" Cheng Shi took out a photo from his arms and handed it to Yang Lixin.
Yang Lixin was stunned for a moment, then slowly stood up and took the photo.
He just glanced at himself in the photo, and his whole body trembled as if he had been electrocuted!
The expression on Yang Lixin's face slowly dimmed, and he said helplessly: "Oh, you actually found the notes!"
Cheng Shi stared hard at Yang Lixin and continued: "Mr. Yang, all five of you know some inside stories. Now, who can speak the truth first?
We can give him appropriate credit based on the importance of the clues, because Mr. Yang, your crime is the least among them!
I just came to talk to you first. If what you said is very useful, maybe you won't have to go to jail in the end!
Of course we won't just ask you, if we find out from the other four people that you have something to hide, you will know the consequences!"
Yang Lixin slumped on the chair, and then said with hope: "If I tell everything I know, can I really avoid going to jail?!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "Then it depends on what useful things you know!"
