Chapter 36 Interrogation Results
Seeing Yang Lixin sitting on the stool and scratching his head and ears with his hands, Cheng Shi already understood that the other person was addicted to smoking.
Then he stood up and walked over, took out a cigarette from his pocket, threw a cigarette to Yang Lixin, and lit it for him.
Yang Lixin took two strong puffs of cigarette, and after exhaling the smoke, his face was soon covered in smoke, slightly psychedelic.
Yang Lixin then coughed a few times, and after he calmed down, he said: "Okay, let me tell you, where do I start?!"
Cheng Shi said: "How do you know each other, what is the relationship between the two of you, how much do you know about Luo Yunhua?!"
Yang Lixin fell into memories and soon started talking.
Cheng Shi looked at him quietly, and the patrol officer also took notes carefully.
"We met at the newspaper ten years ago. He came to the newspaper to apply for a job as a reporter. I was the editor of the newspaper!
My relationship with him has been that of colleagues since he has always been very honest and I have no intention of making friends with him.
So I didn't know much about him until seven years ago, when he suddenly became rich, and I slowly got closer to him and made friends with him.
I soon found out that he had been doing business in information trading. I saw that he was making a lot of money, so naturally I wanted a piece of the pie!
He readily agreed to my request. After all, he had found a lot of sales in recent years, so I started to help him collect information.
He found the buyer himself, and I did get a lot of money from him. Slowly, the other four people also joined the team one after another.
At the beginning, he did give us a lot of money, and we were very satisfied. It was not until three years ago that we unexpectedly learned that he was not just selling information!"
Yang Lixin stopped at this time and looked at Cheng Shi, who had no doubts at all. He knew in his heart that the other party had indeed got the thing!
Yang Lixin took another puff of cigarette, exhaled the smoke, and continued: "When we were collecting information, we accidentally discovered that he was extorting money from others!
When we found out that he blackmailed wealthy people and made huge profits, we were naturally no longer satisfied. The five of us discussed the small profit he gave us!
When we wanted him to share another share of the extortion money and give it to us, he actually smiled and showed us evidence of the violation!
He told us that as long as we continue to collect information, the collection fee will still be indispensable to us!
However, it is impossible to get the big head. Because we have the handle in his hands and don’t want to give up the collection fees, we can only listen to him!”
Cheng Shi interjected and asked: "Then do you know that he has blackmailed anyone who should not be messed with?!"
Yang Lixin shook his head and said: "He is very careful in what he does, and the people he blackmails are carefully selected, and the money he extorts will not exceed the other party's ability to bear it!
Moreover, every time he blackmails someone, he only wants money once, and he is very trustworthy, so those who have been blackmailed have lost money and avoided disaster!"
Cheng Shi continued to ask: "Are you indifferent when you see him making a fortune like this?!"
Yang Lixin's eyes lit up, and he sighed and said: "We have something in his hands, and it's not like he doesn't give us money, we know he has a notebook!
It contains the information he synthesized, so the five of us naturally considered taking the notebook from him!"
"So, six months ago, in order not to be controlled by Luo Yunhua and to obtain the notebook that could bring a lot of benefits, you teamed up to kill Luo Yunhua!" Cheng Shi said coldly.
"No! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't!" Yang Lixin stood up and said excitedly.
When Cheng Shi saw Yang Lixin's reaction, he already had an answer in his mind. Cheng Shi waved his hand to signal the other party to calm down.
Then he stood up again, refilled a cigarette for Yang Lixin, changed the subject and asked: "What happened when the five of you went to his house six months ago?!"
After Yang Lixin took a puff of cigarette, he continued: "The five of us went to send him messages on time. After arriving at the villa, we called him several times, but no one answered us at all!
The five of us discussed it and took this opportunity to find a notebook. When we got to the bedroom, we found that the bedroom door was locked!
No one agreed when we called. Fortunately, Yang Guan had some skills in unlocking, so he quickly opened the door. We were surprised to see that Luo Yunhua was dead!
We then searched all the places and couldn't find the notebook, so we wanted to leave directly!
But thinking about the few of us, we have also left a lot of traces. If we leave at this time, I am afraid that based on the good relationship between us in the newspaper office, you may suspect us and find the five of us.
In the end, if you treat us as suspects, we didn't kill the person, and you don't know what happened between us.
We went up and broke down the door, and then reported it to the patrol room. We agreed that if we discussed it, you wouldn't be able to find any suspicion on us!
He let us go, and until today you brought me here again, I have said all I can say, I don’t know who killed Luo Yunhua!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said: "Very good, I believe what you say for the time being. I hope the other four people won't tell you differently!"
Yang Lixin said with a look of relief: "Can I not go to jail now? I'm just confused!"
Cheng Shi then asked: "What time will you five go to the villa, and what time will you be notified of the patrol room?!"
"We always send information at 10 o'clock in the evening. If we notify the patrol room, it should not be until 11 o'clock." Yang Lixin recalled.
Cheng Shi nodded and said to Deng Xin beside him: "Xiao Deng, take Mr. Yang down and replace him with the next person!"
Although Deng Xin and Cheng Shi were both detectives, Deng Xin did not take Cheng Shi's somewhat commanding tone seriously at all.
Deng Xin stood up and took Yang Lixin down, and soon brought another person in!
Cheng Shi followed the same pattern, and soon the other four people had finished interrogating them. The five of them all had similar stories!
"Finally the questions are over!" Cheng Shi stood up and walked toward the interrogation room, followed by Deng Xin and Feng Tao.
Several people outside the interrogation room unexpectedly bumped into Huang Huangrong. When Huang Huangrong saw the people, he also walked over and smiled.
"Cheng Shi, how is the case investigation going? Is there any progress?!"
Cheng Shi, who was walking at the front, narrowed his eyes slightly after hearing this and said with a smile: "Report to the Chief Inspector, there is some progress, but I still let Agent Feng report to you!"
Feng Tao was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Cheng Shi gave him this credit. He saw the hint from Cheng Shi's hands behind his back.
Feng Tao then stepped forward and said: "Well, Chief Inspector, let's go to the office and I will give you a detailed report on the progress of the case!"
Huang Jinrong was also a little confused, but he followed Feng Tao to the office. Deng Xin said doubtfully at the side.
"Brother Cheng, the chief inspector is asking you, why do you want to give this credit to Feng Tao!"
Cheng Shi smiled and said, "Agent Feng is holding a hot potato in his hand now, so let's give him some credit!"
Deng Xin still didn't understand Cheng Shi's thoughts, but looking at Cheng Shi's leaving figure, Deng Xin quickly followed him.
