Chapter 19 Are You The One?
Wang Zheng's repeated changes of tone left all the people participating in the interrogation confused. Even the veteran investigator from the police station standing in the interrogation room had no idea what information Wang Zheng had captured.
Of course, this also includes Gu Xia. He has experienced all kinds of interrogations, and this is the first time he has encountered such a thing. He is not only excited, but also a little nervous.
"You must be kidding. At most, I am considered to be disturbing public order. The worst that can happen is that I will be detained." Hu Qiang forced himself to remain calm. Since this was not his first time in prison, he seemed very experienced.
"You're right." Wang Zheng smiled. "You were indeed charged with disturbing public order, but you are suspected of molesting a corpse twice and participating in a murder!"
"What! He participated in the murder?" The investigator exclaimed through the mirror, and turned to Gu Xia and said, "Professor Gu, is your member mentally ill? Hu Qiang was arrested early in the morning of the day the victim died. He has no evidence of being absent!"
"Yes." Gu Xia nodded without refutation, and smiled bitterly: "In fact, sometimes I don't know what is going on in the mind of my student."
"I have the right to request an end to the interrogation. This violates the meaning of the interrogation." The old investigator frowned and took out his cell phone to make a call.
"Wait a minute, don't you want to know where Wang Zheng found the clue?" Gu Xia held the investigator's hand and said with a smile, "Let's listen first."
"Okay." The old investigator muttered in dissatisfaction, stood in front of the glass window again, and stared at Wang Zheng.
Under Wang Zheng's gaze, the originally calm Hu Qiang finally couldn't bear the pressure anymore. He lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him again. Seeing this scene, he nodded with satisfaction.
"It is true that you did not kill Lan Ni." Wang Zheng paused and said, "But you are wrong about one thing. The murderer's method of committing the crime meant that there was no possibility of sexual assault. The last part was undoubtedly added by you. Although you can deny this because you did not keep the evidence at the time, you cannot deny the contents of Jia Weiping's stomach."
"I did it..." Hu Qiang finally couldn't bear the pressure and nodded.
"Damn it, you should have confessed it earlier!" Gao Feng was so angry that he almost threw the folder in his hand at Hu Qiang. However, due to the surveillance cameras around him, he had to suppress his anger and said angrily: "Tell me, how did you communicate with the murderer, and how did you create the secret room environment?"
"He... found me and left me a note." Hu Qiang recalled carefully.
It turned out that the murderer had found Hu Qiang long before the task force tested his semen, and the time was exactly noon on the second day after Chen Shuai was killed.
At noon that day, when Hu Qiang was lying in ambush outside the school, preparing to look for a target, he was suddenly knocked unconscious and dragged into the grass. When he woke up, he was naked, but there was a piece of paper in his hand, with a clear location and position on it, including clear instructions on where and at what time to send the deceased.
Hu Qiang, following the instructions on the note, took advantage of the dead of night and dressed in loose clothes and a mask to disguise himself as Jia Weiping to check into a room. He then carried Jia Weiping into the room through the back door of the hotel.
"What's the matter with the secret room?" Gao Feng asked.
"There is no secret room at all. He set the hook." Wang Zheng seemed to understand something.
"What do you mean?" Gao Feng was a little confused, and quickly turned to Hu Qiang and asked, "Tell me, what's going on with the hook?"
"I..." Hu Qiang sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "When I left, I put a hook on the door bolt, and when the door was closed, I pulled the string and locked it. As for locking the door, I used tin foil and wire to lock it."
"He's a master thief." Gao Feng was completely speechless. He never expected that Hu Qiang, besides being good at being a gangster, was also good at petty theft. He was definitely a talent in the criminal world.
"Where is the note now?" Wang Zheng quickly brought the conversation back to the point. "Did you keep it or burn it?"
"The note was placed in the shoe box in the rental house." Hu Qiang said a little nervously.
"Not bad." Wang Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, patted Gao Feng's shoulder, and signaled the end of the interrogation.
"Wait a minute, officer, how long will I be sentenced to..." Hu Qiang asked excitedly as he watched Wang Zheng prepare to leave.
"Life sentence." Wang Zheng looked at Hu Qiang coldly, and after saying these two words, he turned and left.
Wang Zheng and Gao Feng had just left the interrogation room when they saw Gu Xia and his two companions standing in the distance with smiles on their faces. At the same time, an old criminal investigator, also with a smile on his face, was walking towards them.
"Are you Wang Zheng from the task force?" The old criminal investigator grabbed Wang Zheng's hand and said without further ado.
"I am, and you are...?" Wang Zheng was a little confused and winked at Gu Xia in the distance.
"Let me introduce you." Gu Xia quickly came up and said with a smile, "Wang Zheng, I almost forgot to introduce you. This is Comrade Zhang Baosheng from the Criminal Investigation Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security."
"Zhang Baosheng..." Gao Feng was stunned, and suddenly seemed to remember something. He quickly snatched the other person's hand, held it tightly and said, "Are you Mr. Zhang who wrote the criminal investigation journal?"
"Ah? Criminal Investigation Journal... I remember now, you are also a student of the Capital Police Academy?" Zhang Baosheng pondered for a while, and suddenly an embarrassed look appeared on his face.
Back in the office designed by the police, Gao Feng held Zhang Baosheng's hand the whole time and asked about his well-being. Except for Zhang Baosheng who looked embarrassed, everyone in the task force tried to hold .
"Hu Qiang's recruitment was very timely." Zhang Baosheng's tone was a little awkward. He did not continue speaking and turned his eyes to look at Gao Feng who was standing beside him.
Several members of the task force also looked at Gao Feng.
"Why are you looking at me? Listen to Teacher Zhang." Gao Feng met everyone's gazes and quickly flattered, "Wang Zheng, you have to study hard. The introductory book that Teacher Zhang wrote when he was your age has trained many students in the professional criminal investigation department. Now, they are all crime busters in their respective provinces!"
"We know that Teacher Zhang is very good, but you are also very good." Huamei looked at Gao Feng meaningfully.
"Gao Feng, are you that one?" Bai Ling asked with a shy expression on her face.
"Which one?" Gao Feng looked helpless. He lowered his head following everyone's gaze and saw that he was holding Zhang Baosheng's hand. He quickly took his hand back and said, "Teacher Zhang, please continue talking. I'll go get a glass of water!"
"This kid... is quite interesting." Zhang Baosheng looked at Gao Feng, who was lowering his head and almost bumping into the door. He coughed lightly before continuing, "Hu Qiang confessed in time and provided a lot of clues for our local police. Wang Zheng, what do you think next?"
"I do have one, but I'm afraid you won't be able to use it." Wang Zheng smiled meaningfully, "My method is too radical. Even if the department agrees, I'm afraid Chen Shuai's parents won't agree."
"Don't keep me in suspense." Gu Xia quickly waved his hand and said, "The Chen family has been blocked by the minister. If you have any way, use it, but you can't violate the principles."
"Okay!" Wang Zheng was obviously refreshed after receiving Gu Xia's agreement, and he said, "It is now clear that the murder was not for sex. I think the most likely reason is that Hu Qiang and the other two offended his artwork, or the carrier of the artwork."
"Tell me in detail." Zhang Baosheng became interested and quickly moved a chair to sit down. He said, "Just now in the interrogation room, I was curious about your thinking on the case. Why do you think Hu Qiang helped the murderer?"
"He should have reached some kind of agreement with the murderer." Wang Zheng paused and continued, "The murderer should have threatened him with his life, and the reason why Hu Qiang took the risk to dispose of the body was probably to atone for his sins."
"Atonement?" Zhang Baosheng was shocked. He felt that the word was a bit heavy.
"That's right." Wang Zheng stood there quietly, looked around, and said, "Every work of art is a life given by the artist. No matter what kind of tarnish or slander it is, it will be punished or become the next work of art."
