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

Chapter 530: Same Room, Simultaneous Interrogation
The next day.

During the surveillance investigation, the home and workplace of Bao Linlin and other three people were used as the center to radiate to the surrounding areas over long distances, restore all travel trajectories during the surveillance period, and look for intersections.

He Xin also thought that if there was any connection among the four, it must have been through meeting in person. Cell phones were too dangerous and he had already checked them, but nothing was found.

So the question is, even if we choose to communicate face to face to avoid leaving traces with our phones, we still have to discuss the time and place, right?
How to discuss it?

Discuss face to face?

It depends on whether a person has appeared in other people's homes or companies.

In order to implement this matter, new police officers were assigned to conduct another visit, and I also participated in the visit work. The focus of the visit was the research institute, Cao'e Company, and business KTV.

When he was newly in charge of the KTV, it was a mixed place with a lot of people coming in and out, making it the most difficult place to visit.

A day has passed and there is still no result. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

When he changed his mind, he thought of another direction.

Outsiders are not allowed to enter the research institute casually. They must register and provide detailed information. Therefore, the breakthrough point must be Cao'e Company and KTV.

Chen Yi said before that we should not let go of indirect connections. If the suspect found a messenger, then the common point between Cao'e Company and KTV is the customers.

It is most convenient to communicate with customers, it does not appear abrupt and will not arouse suspicion. Perhaps this is why the visits were fruitless.

Since no strange strangers had visited Cao'e and Luna, there might have been some acquaintances.

That night, He Shixin obtained all the customer information of Cao'e and Luna, and tried to find the overlapping people. Unexpectedly, he actually found them.

This is how investigating a case works, with investigations taking multiple directions, you never know which direction will bring good news.

Qian Jiaxin.

When this person's basic information was retrieved, a problem arose: he and Bao Linlin lived in the same villa complex.

If you don't know this, you definitely won't believe when it's new.

In order to confirm this, Bao Linlin's call records were taken. From the records, it can be seen that the two people kept in contact for a long time, confirming that they knew each other.

It is reasonable to suspect that Qian Jiaxin might be Bao Linlin's messenger.

When Qian Jiaxin showed up, Bao Linlin's suspicion of being the mastermind became increasingly greater. Without further delay, Qian Jiaxin needed to be brought back for questioning to find out what the relationship between him and Bao Linlin was and whether he was involved in the murder.

"Captain He, Qian Jiaxin has booked a room in the hotel tonight with a girl." Jiang Xiaoxin said.

He Shixin did not hesitate and immediately took his men to the hotel.

The man was quite wealthy and had booked a luxurious room in a four-star hotel. When He Xin met the hotel manager and got the room card, he chose to knock on the door first.

After waiting for a while, a man's voice was heard in the room.

"Who!"

He Xin didn't play tricks and shouted directly: "Police!"

The girl in the room also provided her ID card to check in, so the possibility of prostitution was very small. It would not look good if I just opened the door and forced my way in, so I got the room card first just in case.

If the other party refuses to open the door, it’s not too late to rush in.

"Here it comes! Right now!"

I guess he was getting dressed. Soon, footsteps were heard coming closer and the door opened.

Qian Jiaxin stuck his head out and looked at the people outside and asked in confusion, "What's the matter, police comrade?"

He didn't panic at all.

He Shixin: "I have something to talk to you about. Come with us back to the Municipal Bureau. It's related to Bao Linlin."

"Bao Linlin?" Qian Jiaxin was even more confused. He did not deny that he knew Bao Linlin. "What happened to Bao Linlin?"

He Shixin: "There is a case that involves her and you, let's talk about it at the police station."

Qian Jiaxin looked harmless, but the other police officers did not let their guard down and were ready to draw their guns at any time.

This is a homicide investigation. Anyone who appears in the investigation process may be a suspect, and there is no room for carelessness.

"Okay... okay." Qian Jiaxin looked reluctant. Maybe it was because he had just taken off his pants, which was quite uncomfortable for a man. "Where's my girlfriend? Is she going too?"

When new: "Not necessary."

After putting on his clothes, Qian Jiaxin said something to his girlfriend and followed the police out of the hotel and got into the car.

On the way, he kept asking when he could leave, probably because he wanted to go back to the hotel to continue his unfinished great business.

A night of spring is worth a thousand gold, and it’s still early.

When Xin just told him maybe soon.

Qian Jiaxin didn't ask any more questions.

Municipal Bureau.

Qian Jiaxin was taken to the interrogation room and the police officer poured him a glass of water.

He Xin sat opposite him and mentioned the names of Cao E and Luna right away.

"Cao'e?" Qian Jiaxin nodded. "I know her. Her company has business dealings with my father's company. Some time ago, Linlin asked me to meet her. She said it was related to her boyfriend Gong Qingliang. I guess she cheated on me."

"As for Luna...I don't know if she's alone, working in a KTV?"

When Xin: “Yes.”

Qian Jiaxin: "That's right, the same goes for Sister Na, it was Linlin who asked me to make the appointment."

When He Xin asked about the other party's relationship with Bao Linlin, Qian Jiaxin said that the two had known each other since childhood, and had been classmates from elementary school to high school, and their parents were also good friends.

Childhood sweethearts, a pure friendship, pure boy-girl friendship, without any other emotions mixed in.

"Do you know Fan Zhimei?"

"Fan Zhimei? I don't know her and have never heard of her." Qian Jiaxin shook his head.

He Shixin: "Didn't Bao Linlin tell you why she wanted to meet them?"

Qian Jiaxin: "Yes, they are close to Linlin's boyfriend. Maybe they want to talk. I don't know the details. She just asked me to do something. She doesn't want to explain too much. I am too lazy to ask. Comrade police officer, what happened to Linlin?"

He Shixin did not answer, but asked: "Have you not contacted Bao Linlin in the past few days?"

Qian Jiaxin smiled and said, "No, I just got a new girlfriend recently and I'm quite busy."

When mentioning his girlfriend, he asked when he could leave, and he seemed anxious, probably because tonight was his first time at base.

For men, the first time with a new girlfriend is always the most anxious. First, it’s the novelty. Second, there will be countless times after the first time. Finally, the girlfriend may regret it, and the opportunity is rare.

"Do you often go to the KTV where Luna works?" He Xin continued to ask.

Qian Jiaxin openly admitted: "I go there often. When I have nothing to do, I call my friends to go drink there. My girlfriend used to work at that KTV, but she has quit now."

This is a playboy character.

Being young and with a wealthy family, he is still in the stage of playing around and enjoying a life of feasting and revelry.

It’s fun, but it’s not a crime. At most, it may be suspected of being illegal in some aspects.

Judging from the situation in which Qian Jiaxin was questioned, he was probably just used by Bao Linlin once and helped a small favor, and was completely unaware of the murder.

It just so happened that Qian Jiaxin's father's company had a cooperation with Cao'e Company, and Qian Jiaxin happened to be a frequent visitor to the business KTV, so he passed on a message.

As for Fan Zhimei...

Maybe Bao Linlin came to invite her personally. As long as she knew the route Fan Zhimei took to go home every day, she would always be able to find a suitable opportunity without being noticed.

"Tell me the time and place of the meeting." He Shixin said.

Qian Jiaxin didn't understand: "Who will meet whom at what time and place? Me and Sister Na and General Manager Cao, or Sister Na and General Manager Cao and Linlin?"

When is new: "The time and place when Luna Cao'e and Bao Linlin met."

Hearing this, Qian Jiaxin recalled briefly and said, "I remember it was more than half a month ago, right? I'll have to check my phone for the exact time. The location is in the cafe near the high-speed rail station, called... Oh, right, Moonlight Cafe."

After Qian Jiaxin provided the exact time, he left the Municipal Bureau. Originally, the detachment wanted to send a car to take him back, but he disagreed and took a taxi away.

"Xiao Xin, call and ask if this cafe is closed. If it is still open, go and copy the surveillance video of that day immediately." He Xin gave the order.

In the latest "Security Services Regulations", cafes are classified as a type of entertainment venue, and according to regulations, surveillance videos must be kept for at least thirty days.

If not, then the cafe is out of luck.

Since violating regulations has affected the detection of major criminal cases, the punishment will not be light and will be the maximum penalty.

……

Eleven o'clock in the evening, in the captain's office.

Fang Shuyu has already gone back, and Chen Yi is working overtime to plan the construction of the police dog base, which is a new task assigned by his superiors.

Of course, there is no rush for this work, the main thing is to wait for new investigation results.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Chen Yi said without even raising his head.

The door opened, and He Shixin walked in quickly, saying as he walked in: "Captain Chen, we have found out that Bao Linlin sent a message through a friend and asked Cao'e and Luna to meet at a coffee shop near the high-speed railway station, and Fan Zhimei was also there.

It is not clear how Fan Zhimei contacted them, but the surveillance camera captured the four people face to face.

Chen Yi was typing and was not surprised by this. He said directly: "Bring everyone back and interrogate them together in the same room."

At present, Fan Zhimei has not been sent to the detention center and is still in the Municipal Bureau.

He Shixin: "I'll go right away."

Three police cars drove out of the gate with sirens blaring, blending into the night streets of Yangcheng, heading in three different directions.

After half an hour.

"Luna, we have new clues about Gong Qingliang's mysterious death by poisoning. Please come with us."

The female detective from the detachment knocked on Luna's door and spoke in a serious tone that left no room for doubt.

Luna's expression changed obviously, but she quickly calmed down.

"Okay, I'm going to change clothes."

She was wearing pajamas.

……

"I'm sorry, please call Bao Linlin down immediately, otherwise we will have to take people away by force."

Faced with the criminal police in uniform, Bao Linlin's parents turned pale. They couldn't understand why they had to bring people back at such a late hour when they had clearly already been investigated and released.

"I'll remind you again, please call Bao Linlin down immediately."

When He Xin personally led the team, he spoke in a cold voice.

Seeing that Bao Linlin's parents were in a mess and didn't know what to do, He Shixin waved his hand decisively, and two female police officers and a male police officer immediately rushed to the second floor and knocked on the bedroom door.

"Bao Linlin, open the door!"

No one responded.

The male police officer turned around and took two steps, looking at He Xin on the first floor to ask for his opinion. After getting his consent, he suddenly accelerated and kicked the door.

boom!
The force was so great that the connection between the door lock and the door frame broke instantly, and the two female police officers rushed in quickly.

Bao Linlin was sitting on the bed.

"Bao Linlin, why don't you open the door?!" the policewoman asked sternly.

Bao Linlin was silent and looked unhappy.

"Please come with us!"

Two female police officers took immediate action, carrying Bao Linlin downstairs, one on the left and one on the right.

The father could not help it and was extremely distressed. He asked angrily why they were arresting people. He Xin gave a standard answer that the procedure was absolutely legal and compliant. If he had any questions, he could go to the Municipal Bureau or find a lawyer now.

"Suspected of murder, please be prepared."

When these words were spoken, Bao Linlin's parents were so frightened that their legs went limp and they almost fell down.

The police car left.

……

A residential area in Yangcheng.

The detective from the detachment knocked on Cao'e's door.

"Cao'e, please come back with us to the Municipal Bureau to accept the investigation into Gong Qingliang's death by poisoning."

Cao E said calmly with a blank expression: "Okay, I'll change my clothes."

The policewoman followed and watched her change at close range.

……

One o'clock.

Municipal Bureau.

A larger room was temporarily cleared out and used as an interrogation room. Bao Linlin, Luna and Cao E sat there in a row, two meters apart.

There is a female police officer standing behind each person to prevent any emergencies.

Not long after, the fourth female police officer appeared escorting Fan Zhimei, who was handcuffed on both hands. After coming in, she raised her head slightly to glance at Bao Linlin and the other two, then sat in the last empty seat.

Four suspects, four female police officers, tried at the same time.

This kind of scene is quite rare even in the municipal bureau.

High-definition recording has been turned on, and every look, every change in expression, and every word spoken by the four people will be fully recorded.

Chen Yi sat opposite.

On the side was the police officer in charge of recording, and standing around were people like He Shixin, which gave them tremendous pressure and made them feel breathless.

It can be seen that the youngest child, Bao Linlin, has started to get nervous and clenched her right hand into a fist.

After a brief silence, a police officer came in with coffee and placed it in front of the four people one by one.

"Have some coffee to wake you up." Chen Yi raised his hand to signal, "Today may be very late, of course, it may also be over very quickly."

As he spoke, his eyes were on Luna.

If we were to say who among these four people is most likely to confess first, Luna might be the key.

The more experience you have, the better you know how to weigh gains and losses, stop losses in time, and minimize irreversible consequences.

Faced with the fragrant coffee, Bao Linlin did not move, Luna did not move, Fan Zhimei did not move, only Cao E reached out her hand, picked up the coffee and tasted it slowly.

Ok……

Executives are executives, and their calmness and composure are unmatched by others.

Chen Yi glanced at her and said, "Before, the four of you said you didn't know each other. Do you want to change it now?"

What I got in return was silence.

Chen Yi repeated: "No one wants to change their testimony?"

Cao E put down her coffee and said, "Just say it if you have something to say."

Chen Yi waved his hand, and the big screen in the room lit up, showing the surveillance footage of the coffee shop. The picture was paused, and one could clearly see Bao Linlin, Luna, Cao E, and Fan Zhimei sitting together and chatting happily.

After seeing the surveillance video, the four people had similar reactions and were all a little panicked.

"The four of you, please explain." Chen Yi said.
