Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 520 The most suspicious, but the left arm is sick

He Xin met Yan Yun's boyfriend Song Shoujie at the Municipal Bureau.

She is the same age as Yan Yun, 26 years old, and they both graduated from the same university: Yangke University.

They are both locals, studying in the same school, in a relationship, and have not broken up after graduation. They don't need to be in a long-distance relationship, which basically meets the conditions for going from campus to wedding.

It can be seen that they still have a good relationship with each other, and perhaps they will be able to walk into the marriage hall hand in hand in the near future.

However, once it is discovered that the person who seriously injured Zeng Mian was Song Shoujie, it is hard to say what the future will be like.

If one of the partners goes to jail, it is a fatal blow to a couple. They cannot see each other for a long time and the problem of criminal record is very real. A criminal record will affect their children's future employment.

Of course, it also affects my work.

Unless you are completely love-brained, it is impossible to ignore it.

Song Shoujie seemed unaware that Zeng Mian was beaten into the hospital. When faced with He Shixin's new question, he was surprised at first, then gloated, and then stunned.

"You suspect I hit him?" Song Shoujie was a little excited. "Yes, I went to Zeng Mian today to argue with him. We had a big fight. Who asked that old pervert and bachelor to harass my girlfriend? But I left after the fight. I didn't hit him at all! I didn't even touch him!"

"Hitting someone is against the law, don't I know that?!"

A bachelor in his thirties? Not really.

The series of words came out very quickly. Although he was excited, he was not afraid at all. He had a kind of attitude that said, "A person with a clear conscience has nothing to fear."

When did Xin go to ask Yan Yun again?

Zeng Mian did harass her often, Yan Yun admitted.

Song Shoujie did have an argument with Zeng Mian today, and she didn't stop them, which Yan Yun also admitted.

As for whether Song Shoujie was the one who beat Zeng Mian into the hospital... she said she didn't know because she and Song Shoujie had some unpleasantness at the time.

When his girlfriend was harassed by her boss at the company, Song Shoujie was a little petty. Not only did he take his anger out on Zeng Mian, he was also dissatisfied with Yan Yun, blaming her for wearing too cool clothes or for speaking inappropriately. He suspected her of seducing him, which led Zeng Mian to misunderstand.

Could Yan Yun tolerate this? She just retorted, and that was the reason for the unpleasantness between the two sides.

When He Xin figured out the whole process, the results of the footprint comparison at the scene came out. Except for the two footprints of the victim, none of them belonged to Song Shoujie.

In other words, he had never been to the top floor.

However, one of the footprints belonged to Shi Chiyong, and was exactly the same in size and pattern, without any error.

He Xin turned his attention to Shi Chiyong again.

There are Shi Chiyong's fingerprints on the murder weapon and Shi Chiyong's footprints at the crime scene. If it wasn't you who did it, who did it?

As for the disease in the left arm...it's all one-sided.

trial room.

He Xin pushed the door open and walked in, staring at Shi Chiyong who was sitting on the chair with cold eyes.

"Shi Chiyong! Tell the truth, did you do it?"

Shi Chiyong was stunned: "Did... did what?"

He Shixin took out the test report: "There are only your fingerprints on the murder weapon, and your footprints in the top floor bathroom, which is the crime scene. Do you dare to say that it was not you who beat Zeng Mian?!"

This made Shi Chiyong's already pale face even paler, and he was frightened: "What? There are my fingerprints? I didn't hit him! I didn't hit him!"

He Xin angrily asked, "Then what are you doing in the bathroom on the top floor?"

"I..." Shi Chiyong lowered his head, and one could see that his hands were clenched, as if his emotions were affected.

He Xin knocked on the table and said, "Hurry up and tell me! There is still a chance for leniency if you tell me early."

Shi Chiyong was silent for a while, and then said in a low voice: "I did go to the bathroom on the top floor, but I really didn't beat him. It was...he who beat me."

"Hit you? What does that mean?" It was so strange.

Shi Chiyong raised his head, took a deep breath, and told Zeng Mian that Zeng Mian often beat him.

He Xin listened carefully, not missing a single word.

Zeng Mian is Shi Chiyong's cousin. Five years ago, Shi Chiyong came to Yangcheng to seek refuge with Zeng Mian, hoping that the other party could find him a job, so he became a security guard in a car rental company.

Shi Chiyong was grateful, and so far the relationship had been harmonious, but as time went on and the two got to know each other better, he discovered that his cousin was not normal and had a tendency to violence.

Whenever he did something wrong, whenever he made Zeng Mian unhappy, he would just point at his nose and scold him at first, but later he would beat him, and his attacks became more and more severe.

Shi Chiyong didn't dare to resist because of his cousin's and Si's identities. He had a disease in his left arm, and he didn't know what to do if he lost this job. He could only endure it, since no one would die anyway.

The most important thing is that his salary is the highest in the security team. Zeng Mian does not exploit him in this regard and is rather caring. However, a high salary requires dignity and pain in exchange.

He Shixin looked at Shi Chiyong, who was getting angrier and angrier as he spoke, with a strange expression on his face.

Isn't this the motive for committing the crime that's right there at your doorstep?
Zeng Mian often beats you, so you finally couldn't stand it today and sent him to the hospital with a defensive baton. Becoming a vegetable is the lightest punishment, and he is still in critical condition.

If he dies, it would be intentional murder.

Just as he was about to speak, Shi Chiyong became more and more excited and took off his clothes, revealing bruises all over his body, trying to prove that Zeng Mian had indeed bullied him for a long time.

He Shixin was silent for a moment, then said, "Was it Zeng Mian who called you to the top floor today?"

Shi Chiyong said angrily, "Yes! He called me and asked me to go over there, saying that the utility room on the top floor was still so dirty and messy, and asked me to clean it again!"

"I'm a security guard, not a cleaner. Besides, even if I'm a cleaner, I don't have to clean the top floor! He did it on purpose. He called me up here to find a reason to beat me. Whenever he's in a bad mood, he'll find a reason to beat me to vent his anger!"

"He's a lunatic! A psychopath!"

The sound was so loud that it echoed in the interrogation room.

In He Xin's opinion, the more he said this, the more suspicious he became.

First it was fingerprints and footprints, then the motive for the crime, and now the utility room on the top floor is mentioned. You should know that there are defense batons in the utility room.

Who else could it be but you?

"Why don't you take the elevator to the top floor?" He Shixin asked.

Shi Chiyong: "He wouldn't let me sit! He said a loser like me doesn't deserve to take the elevator, I can only take the stairs!"

Well, the motive for committing the crime was more complete. Not only did he beat the victim physically, but he also insulted his personality.

Compared with Song Shoujie, Shi Chiyong has more reasons to retaliate against Zeng Mian.

The only variable is the disease in his left arm.

"Have you been to the utility room today?"

"No." Shi Chiyong shook his head. "He asked me to wait in the bathroom, and then he started beating me with a broom handle. Look, the bruises haven't gone away yet!"

When He Xin walked over to take a look, he saw that there were indeed bruises, new injuries.

He sympathized with Shi Chiyong's situation, but this did not reduce the other party's suspicion, but instead gradually increased it.

No matter how honest a person is, he will have the urge to resist when faced with Zeng Mian's long-term bullying. When rationality gradually dissipates, the impulse will turn into action.

Now we need more clues and evidence.

He Xin left the interrogation room. Two hours later, Lu Yongqiang returned with his men to report the results of the on-site investigation.

First, there were new footprints in the fire escape. There were indeed two of them, and they were exactly the same as the footprints at the crime scene.

The second was the utility room on the top floor, which was very dirty and messy, but clean enough for trace inspection. There were no new traces and it had not been cleaned recently.

Shi Chiyong did not lie, he did not go to the utility room today.

This made Shi Shixin start to be unsure. Was it really a coincidence? Shi Chiyong just went upstairs and "willingly" accepted Zeng Mian's beating as before, without any resistance?
Whose footprint is the other one?

Since there is a second footprint, it means that the suspect is not the only one, and we cannot say with 100% certainty that it was Ishigaki Yong who did it.

Of course he couldn't let the person go, so he decided to wait for the results of Zhuo Yun and the others' investigation and see what the hospital said.

The scene comes to Mengzhou. After another day of playing, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu are ready to end their trip to Mengzhou and set off for the Northeast after tonight.

The itinerary for the next few days has been preset, from the northeast along the border to Liancheng, then along the coast to Dongli (SH), and finally fly back to Yangcheng, ending the fifteen-day honeymoon trip.

It's almost a semicircle.

As for the large province in the southwest, we will have to wait until the next holiday.

Tonight we will go to the night market and taste the local specialties.

Mengzhou also has a large night market, and the development of tourism in Mengzhou has been very good in recent years.

There seem to be more police on the streets today.

"Any new actions?"

Fang Shuyu was eating lamb skewers. There were indeed a lot more police officers around. Everything was fine yesterday.

The actions she was referring to were Operation Spring Thunder and Operation Summer, which were aimed at maintaining public order and strengthening patrols. Each city would occasionally carry out these operations a few times a year to carry out severe crackdowns.

"Not like it." Chen Yi also had a kebab in his hand. He observed for a while and said, "It seems like he is looking for someone. I guess he is looking for Du Qiang. What do you think?"

Fang Shuyu was surprised: "Du Qiang? Running so far?"

Chen Yi said: "Yunzhou is far from Mengzhou. This is running from the southernmost to the northernmost. It makes sense. After killing four people, why not run away? If you are not a wanted criminal, you can sneak out of the country. If you stay, you will be caught sooner or later."

You won’t be able to get away with such a heinous case. The whole country must be mobilized.

As they were talking, a policeman passed by, took a close look at Chen Yi and the other man, and after confirming that they were not the people they were looking for, he quickly left.

Chen Yi took out his cell phone and called Han Yuedong.

"Hello? Chen Yi."

The sound has recovered well.

Chen Yi smiled and said, "Captain Han, have you been discharged from the hospital?"

Han Yuedong: "Not yet. I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I am almost well now and can walk on my own. What's going on?"

Chen Yi: "I'm traveling in Mengzhou, and I feel the atmosphere is not right. Is Du Qiang here?"

Han Yuedong was surprised: "Mengzhou? What a coincidence, you are very perceptive. I asked people to visit all of Du Qiang's relatives and friends. Through analysis, I guessed that he might have fled to Mengzhou, so I asked colleagues there to help investigate and conduct a blanket search throughout the province."

Chen Yi said, "Okay, I'm fine, I'm just asking casually. If I meet you, please buy me a drink later."

Han Yuedong smiled: "How could it be such a coincidence? He may not be in Mengzhou."

Chen Yi: "It's just a joke. Let me know if you catch him."

Han Yuedong: "Okay."

The phone hangs up.

It really couldn't be such a coincidence. Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu walked around for a while and then returned to the hotel. After a quiet night, they rushed to the airport the next day and the plane took off.

The two left Mengzhou.

There are a lot of police officers at the airport, and there are many villages around. It seems that they are really putting all their efforts into catching Du Qiang.

The major criminal who killed four people in a row deserves this kind of treatment.

Only after Du Qiang was arrested did Jiang Mingfu's case finally come to an end - if An Yinmu and his sister were not counted.

Yangcheng.

By the next evening, the hospital's investigation results for the case of intentional injury causing serious bodily harm had been released.

Shi Chiyong did go to the hospital for treatment, and more than once. The earliest visit could be traced back to seven years ago, when he went to the county hospital in Shi Chiyong's hometown.

Since the county hospital couldn't cure him, he went to the municipal hospital. In total, he went to eight hospitals, but none of them could help.

It is not difficult to treat, but the cause cannot be found at all, making it a difficult and complicated disease.

I also asked around in my hometown, and everyone who knew Shi Chiyong said that there was a problem with his left arm. They said that he had never used his left hand in seven years, and he couldn't even lift it.

This result made He Shixin's brows furrow into a shape of "川".

At that time six or seven years ago, Shi Chiyong had not yet started working at the car rental company, and he was not familiar with his cousin Zeng Mian. It was basically impossible for him to pretend to be sick in advance and then suddenly attack and injure someone seven years later to escape legal punishment.

On the contrary, it was precisely because of the illness in his left arm that Shi Chiyong chose to go to Zeng Mian and ask him to solve his work problems.

It is difficult for a man with low education, no skills, and an immobilized left arm to find a job nowadays, and the only thing he can do is try to deliver food on a bicycle with one hand.

It’s good enough to be a security guard with no work to do.

"Isn't it him?"

"Who else could he be?"

"The footprints of all male employees in the company must be collected."

Thinking in his heart, He Shixin picked up the cup to pour water. When he passed by the captain's office, he habitually wanted to knock on the door to chat. Just as he raised his hand to react, Chen Yi had already gone out to travel.

"Qin Fei!" He turned around and shouted.

"Here I am!" Qin Fei ran to He Shixin and said, "Captain He, please speak."

He Shixin drank the last bit of water in the cup and ordered, "Take someone to the victim's company again and make a copy of the footprints of all the male employees and outsiders that day, and bring them back for comparison."

Qin Fei nodded: "Okay, Captain He, do you think it wasn't Shi Chiyong who did it?"

When He Xin took the cup to get water, Qin Fei followed him and waited for his answer.

"His left arm was sick seven years ago. Unless his illness was cured at the time of the crime, do you think this possibility is high?" He Xin said.

"He got better suddenly?" Qin Fei thought for a moment, "It's unlikely. It lasted for seven years. How could it get better suddenly?"

He Shixin: "Then it wasn't him who did it."

Qin Fei: "But all the evidence points to him, and he has sufficient motive for committing the crime."

He Shixin: "Aren't there footprints of a third person at the scene? Find him. The perpetrator must be one of them."

Qin Fei: "I understand. I'll take someone there tomorrow."
