Attending ex-girlfriend's wedding, arresting the groom's officer on the spot

After saying this, Chen Jiang said nothing more. He leaned against the wall, lit a cigarette, and picked up his phone.

In fact, the interrogation of Zhang Lei was just a routine matter. When he was arrested just now, everyone already knew that Zhang Lei was most likely the suspect.

Because when he was arrested, he did not show the suspicion or doubt that most people would have towards the appearance of the criminal police, but instead showed fear and terror.

So if Zhang Lei did not commit any crime, then what is he afraid of?

Chen Jiang didn't say anything. Zhang Lei sat down on the chair quickly, his face pale and sweating profusely.

"Can I have a glass of water?"

"No problem at all."

Chen Jiang asked his assistant to pour a glass of water for Zhang Lei and bring it to him.

Zhang Lei was probably really thirsty, he drank the water in one gulp and then asked for another glass.

Just like that, after Zhang Lei drank three glasses of water in a row, his mood calmed down a little, and his complexion gradually returned to normal color from its original pale color.

"Police... Police comrade, if I tell you everything, can you show me leniency?"

well.

Chen Jiang straightened his back.

"Of course, as long as you confess, we will definitely give you leniency according to this policy, but the extent of leniency is not up to me. It depends on how the court will consider it during the trial."

"But I can tell you that if you don't confess yourself, and you speak out after we get solid evidence, then the leniency clause won't apply."

"I...I said...I want to seek leniency!"

Zhang Lei's tone became a little urgent, and he began to explain the whole process of how he killed Tang Meijuan.

Those who have never been to a police interrogation room will never know why some suspects cannot even last a few minutes before confessing everything about themselves.

It’s not that there are no people who can withstand police interrogation, but there are not many such people.

One type is the people who go in frequently.

This kind of people only commit petty thefts, which are not serious crimes.

Being taken to the police station and interrogated is a common occurrence.

After many times, they have a better understanding of some of the police's methods. No matter whether the other party is in the afternoon or has some other psychological purpose, they know it clearly, so it is difficult for the police to get any useful information from such an old fox.

The other type of person is the murderer who has killed more than one person and has long since disregarded life and death.

This kind of person is actually the most difficult to deal with, because no situation or matter can attract his attention.

How did he kill several people? If he wants to say it, he can say it. If he doesn't want to say it, no one can do anything about it. Anyway, he knows that if he is caught, he will die. If that's the case, it's better not to say anything.

For criminal suspects like this, the only way to move the other party is usually to play the family card.

As for other psychological warfare, or the method that General Chen just used, that is, leniency for confession and severity for resistance, it is basically useless. Of course, in reality, for Zhang Lei, if he really committed the crime of murder, it would be difficult to get leniency even if he confessed.

Unless the other party surrenders himself, it is obvious that the leniency shown to him is not enough to give him the greater leniency he deserves.

In addition to surrendering oneself, there are other circumstances that can lead to lenient treatment, such as reporting major clues to a case, which can also result in lenient treatment.

"I climbed out of the ventilation duct and hid on the roof the night before. I knew there were surveillance cameras in the Faraway Building, so I did it here to make you think that Tang Meijuan committed suicide instead of being murdered."

In fact, Zhang Lei's entire process of committing the crime was basically consistent with the police's inference.

The day before the incident, Zhang Lei brought a bag of bread and three bottles of purified water. When he got off work, he climbed directly to the roof through the ventilation duct on the 17th floor to avoid the surveillance camera that closed the fire doors in the corridor and the roof.

"How did you find out that the ventilation duct is crawlable?"

Chen Jiang couldn't understand this point. The other party was just renting a house in the building. How did he know that people could crawl through the ventilation duct? How did he think of this?
Zhang Lei asked for a cigarette.

"Because I participated in the construction of Yuanfang Building. I was just a small contractor at that time, and it happened that the part I participated in at that time was the construction of this ventilation duct. So I know very well how big this ventilation duct is, and I also know the layout and direction of this ventilation duct. I still have a copy of the design drawing at that time at home."

It turned out to be so.

Chen Jiang didn't expect that Zhang Lei had participated in the construction of Yuanfang Building, so he knew the layout of the ventilation duct so well.

"Then how did you contact Tang Meijuan?"

Tang Meijuan’s cell phone was not found, and during the investigation of Tang Meijuan’s call records, no evidence was found that Zhang Lei had called her.

Through the surveillance in the engineering company's office, we found that Tang Meijuan took her mobile phone with her when she left, so they must have been contacted through some chat software.

"He is the cashier of our company. When the company was first established, there were relatively few people. He was both the accountant and the cashier at that time. So there are some things that we can't talk about on the phone."

Zhang Lei said: "Sometimes the company needs to spend some money. At that time, it is not convenient to talk about it, so Tang Meijuan and I downloaded a relatively niche chat software, and we talked about everything on it."

"She is a veteran of our company, and I trust her."

Tang Meijuan is a veteran of Zhang Lei's company. The police are aware of this matter, and she has been managing the financial affairs.

Being in such an important position, Zhang Lei must have more trust in the other party.

"But the problem is, Tang Meijuan is now more trusted and respected by you, and she has helped you with many things. Why do you want to kill her?"

Zhang Lei shook his head.

"I had no choice. This woman threatened me. She used the video I had arranged for her to give money to others to threaten me. She wanted me to give her dividends, raise her salary, and buy her a car and a house. If I didn't agree to these things, she would report me with these things."

"I had no choice but to talk to him many times, but he insisted that without 500 million, the problem could not be solved."

"In fact, I have already thought about it. If 500 million can buy all its future obedience, then my words are worth it. I can earn more than 500 million for a project. But when we talked again last week, Tang Meijuan saw that I agreed to give 500 million, so she suddenly raised the price and asked for 5 million!"

Fifty million?! (End of this chapter)
