Chapter 29 Arraignment (1)

"gentlemen……"

A reserved and crying voice sounded.

Then, there was a click.

The iron door of the independent interrogation room was closed.

There were two police officers standing in the room. They were tall, with gray hair, and their eyes were extremely sharp, as if they could see through the soul.

However, what frightened Helen the most was the two people in front of her. One looked ordinary, but could command a large number of police officers, and the other was even more outrageous, turning out to be a senior superintendent.

Will this combination interfere with the turf wars between Orioles?

Just as she was thinking about it, the person who made Helen feel most uneasy spoke. Lu Li said in a deep voice:

"You should know why I'm looking for you."

"Yes." Helen's heart trembled. She was just an ordinary wanderer who had never seen the world. She had never experienced such a battle. She cried subconsciously: "I just participated in the fight and hurt the faces of two women.

Just catching flowers..."

"Shut up!"

Officer Wensley's eyes were stern, "Answer whatever I ask, and then I'll speak again when I ask you to provide additional explanations."

The combination of black and red faces, although this routine is very old, it is really effective.

Lu Li stood up, brought a cup of hot coffee over, looked at Helen who was constantly shaking, and said with a gentle smile: "Don't be nervous, Ai Songen has already told us what happened, I just want you to make a supplement."

"Then what will I ultimately be prosecuted for?"

Helen was doubtful and couldn't help but ask.

"If you cooperate fully, you will be released soon, but if you try to hide it..."

"Yes! Yes!"

After some contact, Lu Li's image in Helen's heart changed drastically. He was a savior who could help her avoid prosecution and return to a normal life.

In this way, while lowering his head and sipping coffee, he carefully described the whole process he learned from Aisongen.

As a party involved, Helen stated that there was nothing wrong, and this was indeed the case.

Of course, she also made it clear that she did not do anything particularly bad, nor did she target the victim. She was just forced by the majesty of her eldest sister, Katie, to apologetically scratch the faces of two strangers.

How can people not make mistakes?

This behavior should be understood and tolerated.

Unfortunately, Officer Wensley has no interest in such people's self-defense. Although he sympathizes with the weak, he is unwilling to have too much contact with them.

As for when he will be acquitted, it will have to wait until a breakthrough is made in the case.

"Okay, there is no doubt about that murder. Let's talk about the second one."

"At midnight, you killed a warbler from the opposing force. An hour later, in retaliation, the group killed a woman named Newberry, right?"

Lu Li put down his pen and paper, examined the key witness in front of him, and applied pressure.

"That's right."

"Has anyone witnessed this process with their own eyes? Please tell me about it carefully."

At this time, Officer Wensley threatened in a semi-threatening way: "Don't try to play tricks. We have detained three people in isolation. If it is found that the confessions do not match up, the liar will be hanged as a murderer."

hanging.

An ancient and bloody punishment.

In this era of scarcity of entertainment, almost everyone has watched execution ceremonies, and those in power are willing to make such activities public to serve as an education and warning.

Just last month, Helen paid a silver coin to witness a hanging.

The victim murdered his fiancée, who was a washerwoman, cut her body into pieces, and dumped the body across London. Then, he himself accepted justice.

The people cheered deafeningly and bells of despair rang for the prisoner. At that moment, Helen felt that her soul had been sublimated because she threw two rotten eggs at the corpse of the scumbag prisoner.

But now...

When she thought of being put on the pillory, being baptized with feces, fish offal and mud amidst boos and shouts, Helen panicked again and said nothing, sobbing continuously.

Seeing this, Wensley gave Lu Li a helpless smile. He really didn't expect things to turn out like this, but the effect shouldn't be too bad.

About five minutes later, Helen began to talk intermittently, and Lu Li asked someone to give her some warm food. Her mentality immediately changed, and she became more like Ai Songen.

"After the conflict ended, I went to the street to solicit customers. After a while, I met a local customer. The business took about an hour and a half, and it was time to go back to the tavern."

It can be seen that Helen has adapted to this line of work, Chen Ken said generously: "Generally speaking, at that time, all the guests are drunk, and it is easiest to hook up."

Lu Li and Officer Wensley did not interrupt her and listened carefully to what happened during this period.

In fact, the second victim is the key.

"But an accident happened. When I was passing by an alley, I saw my eldest sister Katie and her mistress..."

Helen paused, she appeared a little nervous, and this move aroused Wensley's dissatisfaction. He frowned and said: "Don't stop, keep talking, what happened?"

"They had cleaning tools in their hands, and there was a body lying on the ground, and it was poor Newberry, who was a single mother."

"Do you know the murderer?" Lu Li asked while taking notes in his notebook.

"I don't know." Helen was as frightened as she hurriedly added: "But it should be the rogue force that had a conflict with us before. After all, Sister Katie killed the other party..."

"Did you stop and say anything to either of them?"

Lu Li asked: "Who else witnessed the scene?"

"No, I happened to be passing by and saw this scene, and I didn't dare to say hello." Helen shook her head and said in a low tone: "I didn't look back and ran back to the tavern. I was too scared at the time and told Ai Songen about it.

Then he was arrested and taken to the police station..."

A few minutes later.

The interrogation room became deserted, and Wensley, who had been away for a while, came back again, "I confirmed with Ai Songen that the wandering warbler named Helen just now did not lie."

"Should Katie be interrogated? I'm worried that if the delay continues, the concubine who helped her dispose of the body may get wind of it and abscond in advance."

"Yeah." Lu Li also didn't want to waste any more time and said, "You arrange for a few experienced police chiefs to interrogate other people, and both sides start working at the same time."

the other side.

Katie huddled in the corner, thinking for an unknown amount of time. Due to the heavy rain, she couldn't tell the time through light.

Next to the iron bars of the detention cell, there were three slices of fried brown bread and soup that had become completely cold.

"Tell me, what happened to you?"

"I see that the women in the next few rooms have been taken for interrogation." The strange roommate muttered.
