Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

He Yuzhu thought about it carefully. If that was the case, even if Lu Qi didn't hide and disposed of the murder weapon and clothes, he would be fine if he returned home.

Of course, he certainly wouldn't do that.

Lu Qi must have thought that he was seen and recognized yesterday.

He will definitely hide and dare not show up.

In fact, it was so dark last night, and given the circumstances, no one could see clearly who he was or what he looked like.

In the entire courtyard, I guess I’m the only one who knows that he is the murderer.

He Yuzhu asked: "Officer Bai, if you catch a suspicious person, how will you prove that he is the murderer?"

Bai Ling didn't expect He Yuzhu to ask this question. She was stunned for a moment, then said, "Of course I need evidence."

"The murder weapon, witness testimony, and that kind of thing."

He Yuzhu asked again: "If the murder weapon is not found, no one can serve as a witness."

Bai Ling frowned, and the frown became tighter and tighter as she thought about the current situation.

He Yuzhu is right. If we catch a person, even if he is the murderer, as long as he disposes of the murder weapon, it will be very difficult for us to prove that he is the murderer.

No one could see his appearance clearly.

The specific motive is also unclear.

"If that's the case, we can only get the answer from the suspect through interrogation."

After saying this, Bai Ling's excitement subsided again. It was too difficult to get a criminal to confess through interrogation alone.

He Yuzhu said: "Well, if we can confirm the murderer's identity and motive, it will be much easier."

Bai Ling nodded, "That's right."

He Yuzhu understood and thought that if the murder weapon was not found, then he would find a way to let Bai Ling know the connection between Lu Qi and Qin Huairu, so that the motive would be revealed.

However, let’s catch the person first.

Bai Ling took a deep breath and cheered herself up again. No matter what, the most important thing was to catch the person first.

She left He Yuzhu's house and organized people to search in East City and West City.

"Brother, do you know something?" After Bai Ling left, Yu Shui stared at He Yuzhu and asked.

He Yuzhu shook his head, "No."

Yu Shui didn't believe what He Yuzhu said at all, "If you didn't know, why would you give such a specific location?"

He Yuzhu said: "Are you sure? East City and West City are still very large."

"I have only made inferences based on the intelligence I have, and they may not be completely accurate."

"I don't believe it. You must know something."

Yu Shui seemed to see through He Yuzhu, "I think you know something and told Bai Ling the news because you want to help her."

"Brother, tell me, are you attracted to Bai Ling?"

"Are you worthy of Sister Xueru?"

He Yuzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "What are you talking about?"

"How have I ever been so sorry to Xueru?"

"I told Bai Ling my speculation. That's what I should do. We should help the police catch the bad guys."

"Tsk." Yu Shui glanced at him, "Whatever you say."

......

By the afternoon of the next day, Bai Ling found Lu Qi's hiding place and successfully captured him.

Originally, they couldn't find anyone in the east or west of the city, and they thought they had found the wrong place.

Seeing that the time required by the leaders of the bureau was getting closer, they were really anxious.

Most of the manpower was diverted to search in other places.

But Bai Ling felt that her direction was correct, it was just that the murderer hid too well and could not be found.

When she was searching alone in a dilapidated yard in the east of the city, she saw a mouse crawling under the soil. She looked curiously and found that there seemed to be something underneath.

An idea suddenly came to my mind: Could there be a cellar in the yard?

She was not careless, if the murderer was really down there, then she was the only one in danger.

After all, the murderer is brutal.

She called three people and dug up the soil. Sure enough, they found a wooden board. After lifting the board, they naturally saw Lu Qi hiding inside.

Arrested him.

He Yuzhu saw all of this, and the mouse was controlled by him.

He saw that the police had been searching in the yard for a long time but had not found the cellar below. If this continued, Lu Qi might have gotten away with it.

So when Bai Ling was here, he controlled the mice to make some noise, hoping to alert Bai Ling.

Sure enough, Bai Ling discovered the cellar and captured Lu Qi.

However, Lu Qi's reaction surprised Bai Ling and the other police officers.

Lu Qi kept asking why he was arrested.

What a mistake he made.

Bai Ling was basically certain that this person was the murderer.

Otherwise he wouldn't be hiding in this cellar in a remote place.

Moreover, his figure was very similar to the description given by the people in the yard.

But Lu Qi's reaction really made her feel overwhelmed.

Judging from his expression, he is determined to never plead guilty.

Bai Ling sighed inwardly. They didn't find the murder weapon or bloody clothes here, and there was no evidence to prove that this person was the murderer.

Lu Qi seemed to have figured this out in the past two days. He threw the knife into the river on the night he escaped.

Although the river is frozen in winter, there are always a few places that are not frozen.

After a whole morning of tension yesterday, he seemed to have regained some consciousness and realized that his clothes needed to be dealt with.

The clothes were burned at noon.

Coincidentally, the police had not come to search at that time and did not discover this.

This series of events confirmed Bai Ling's worries.

How can we convict someone without evidence, witnesses or testimony?

She had no choice but to take Lu Qi back to the police station and start interrogating him, hoping to break the deadlock.

But Lu Qi refused to give in, saying that he was not the murderer and that he went to the cellar to get something.

On the third day, the police took turns interrogating him but still couldn't get the answers they wanted. They were really anxious.

This is the last day. I had already breathed a sigh of relief after catching the man yesterday. I thought I would be safe this time. But I didn’t expect to encounter such a difficult criminal and I just couldn’t pry open his mouth.

If this continues, the leader will be dissatisfied.

Bai Ling thought of a way and found out Lu Qi's identity.

It’s okay if you don’t know, because once you know, you will be even more confused.

Lu Qi has no connection with the Jia family.

He had no motive to kill.

Now Bai Ling was even more worried.

She went to the courtyard again, wanting to see if anyone knew whether Lu Qi had any grudges with the Jia family.

Bai Ling also wanted to hear He Yuzhu's opinion.

After all, if he hadn't come up with the idea, it would have been impossible to catch Lu Qi.

When we arrived at the courtyard and asked around, everyone only knew that Lu Qi was the owner of a pharmacy. They knew nothing else, let alone his relationship with the Jia family.

Bai Ling sighed and came to He Yuzhu's house.
