[Full-time master] mottled
Chapter 12 Surrender
Shao Pengan, who was under tremendous psychological pressure, finally let go and admitted his crime of killing his wife, dismembering his body, cooking his body and even hiding his body after taking drugs.Since then, seven days have passed since the "1225 Corpse Hidden in the Wall Case" was launched, and it was finally successfully solved before the New Year.
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao, who had settled their worries, spent the New Year's Eve in the ward. The aunt in the next bed occupied the only TV in the ward to watch the New Year's Eve party. The two people who were not interested in this pulled the curtain on the bed, and Jiang Botao From under the pillow, Zhou Zekai found two cans of low-concentration juice wine that Zhou Zekai bought from the nurse on his back. Zhou Zekai opened the mental barrier and once again separated a world of two people.
The two sipped wine and chatted without saying a word. They both deliberately avoided those troublesome things and just picked up some trivial gossip.After going back and forth, the cans ran out, Zhou Zekai avoided the nurse on duty, and sneakily threw the two empty cans into the trash can in the stairwell.
When he returned to the ward, Jiang Botao was already lying on the bed half asleep, Zhou Zekai looked down at his blushing cheeks, and began to regret that maybe he shouldn't have been allowed to drink just now.Zhou Zekai swiped his phone to check the time, it was only 08:30 in the evening, but Jiang Botao's body was not fully recovered, and he was already very tired after using his abilities today, so it would be good to sleep more.
Zhou Zekai, who was not yet sleepy, sat by the bed and played with his mobile phone for a while. On New Year's Eve in previous years, his mobile phone was always ringing non-stop, and his social software was filled with all kinds of New Year greetings sent by Whistle to his colleagues.But this year, until after midnight, Zhou Zekai only received a few sporadic New Year greetings, all from the police officers who knew him well in the police department.After replying to the text messages one by one step by step, Zhou Zekai went to wash up briefly, and climbed onto the hospital bed lightly.
Jiang Botao, who was already in a deep sleep state, didn't notice this. Zhou Zekai lay on the side of the bed for a while, and when his hands and feet were warmed up, he moved in and put his arms around Jiang Botao's shoulders to help him press down. Press the quilt corner.
Zhou Zekai, who immersed himself fully in the guide, told himself not to think too much, no matter what, at least he still has Jiang Botao.
Having nothing to say all night, the two cuddled together for a good night's sleep, and thus calmly ushered in the first ray of sunrise of the new year.
After a good night's sleep, Jiang Botao's mental state looked extremely good, and he couldn't tell that he was still sick until the day before yesterday. Director Zheng gave him a round of routine checkups, and he approved it very readily. Jiang Botao's discharge application.
The two arrived home at noon. Although the "1225 corpse hidden in the wall case" had been solved, the on-site inspection work had not yet been completed. Their rental house was still temporarily requisitioned by the police department, and several technicians entered the house from time to time. In and out.Jiang Botao didn't care about so much, the first thing he did when he got home was to rush to the bathroom and take a comfortable shower.
Zhou Zekai, who threw the two of them's flimsy changes of clothes into the washing machine, followed closely behind, and washed away the exhaustion accumulated from head to toe with a delightful hot bath.
As the saying goes: how to relieve fatigue?Only a hot bath.
After tidying himself up and wrapping himself in coral fleece pajamas, Jiang Botao rolled over on the long-lost bed with a penguin pillow in his arms. He picked up his phone and wanted to research what the two of them would have for dinner when Ma Jianlin called came in.
Ma Jianlin first exchanged greetings with Jiang Botao when he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and then informed him that the two gangsters who tried to take him from the MICU out of the hospital had been arrested and brought to justice, but the two grandsons were high on drugs and high on New Year's Eve last night. He has not recovered yet, and interrogation is not possible for the time being. If he and Zhou Zekai are interested, they can directly come to the bureau to participate in the interrogation tomorrow. By the way, he will send Yan Shaoli's autopsy report and the sealed soul extracted from her bones to the police station. Take a look.
After Jiang Botao thanked him repeatedly, he hung up the phone. At the same time that Zhou Zekai came out of the bathroom wiping his hair, he told Zhou Zekai about it. His anger and curiosity——he would have to take a good look at it tomorrow to find out why and why he tormented his guide like this.
——Maybe it really is a new year and a new atmosphere. On the first day of the new year, the good news comes one after another.
After these two fluffy naive ghosts had a fight on the bed with a penguin doll over the question of "Should I have Mala Tang or Mala Dry Pot for dinner", Jiang Botao, who had won against Zhou Zekai, just wanted to order a piece of food. After a few days of taking out spicy dry pot, Ma Jianlin suddenly called again.
Only this time, Ma Jianlin and the two of them went straight to the police headquarters. There was a case where the suspects were called by name and wanted to see Zhou Zekai.
"See me?" Zhou Zekai, who was listening to the phone together, was at a loss, "What case?"
"Meng Ping's case." As soon as Ma Jianlin finished speaking, he quickly corrected him: "Meng Ping's wife's case."
"Meng Ping's wife?" Jiang Botao vaguely remembered that more than half a month ago they went to the Qingwan Bridge to deal with Meng Ping, who was holding a gun and endangering public safety. Ma Jianlin once mentioned that Meng Ping's wife who was eight months pregnant was cut open. After investigation, the first scene of the crime was determined to be in a villa owned by Meng Ping's boss, Tang Jianbo.
And this Tang Jianbo is the key person involved in the many cases they are currently investigating!
"A suspect has been caught in this case? Is it Tang Jianbo?" Jiang Botao asked hastily.
"No, it's Tang Jianbo's wife, Qiu Lan, who just surrendered herself." Ma Jianlin paused for a moment, then continued: "Qiu Lan said that she can explain the case of murdering Meng Ping's wife together with Tang Jianbo, but she has one condition , I just want to see Xiao Zhou, and only after meeting him will she be willing to reveal the details of the case."
Although Zhou Zekai didn't quite understand why Qiu Lan, who had surrendered himself, asked to see him, but the appearance of Qiu Lan was undoubtedly an important breakthrough for them to find the missing Tang Jianbo.Immediately, he didn't bother to think about anything, after changing clothes with Jiang Botao, he called a car and hurried to the police headquarters.
Downstairs of the police headquarters, the two accidentally ran into Ma Jianlin and another sentinel, Bai Xing, the captain of the Second Criminal Police Team of the Wenpu District Police Department.
This mature and intellectual retired sentry was still wrapped in the long brown overcoat. When he saw Zhou Zekai, he smiled and greeted him: "Yo, boy, are you recovering well?"
Facing Bai Xing's teasing, Zhou Zekai scratched his cheek in embarrassment. Jiang Botao sensed that Bai Xing's mental power was different from ordinary people, and understood that he should be the sentinel who had no choice but to retire because of the severe damage to the empathy system eight years ago. Then he greeted him generously: "Hello, senior."
"Hello," Bai Xing smiled, and said to Jiang Botao half-jokingly and half-complainingly, "When you were in the hospital, your children caused me a lot of trouble."
Zhou Zekai, who couldn't hear Bai Xing's repeated teasing of him, changed the subject in embarrassment: "Why are you here, senior?"
"Qiu Lan originally came to our bureau to surrender, but this case is at the headquarters, so I handed her over." Bai Xing said, "Besides, her situation is a bit special."
"Special?" Jiang Botao tilted his head.
"You'll know it after you go up and look, and you can't say a word." Bai Xing glanced at Ma Jianlin, who was also in a daze, and then he looked down at his watch: "I have to go back to the game. There's a case study."
"Wait, senior," Zhou Zekai called to Bai Xing who was about to leave, "Can I have a look at your spiritual guide?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xing's expression became fierce in an instant. He half-raised his head and stared at Zhou Zekai. The aura around him gave the impression that he was still some kind of refined intellectual. beast.
Zhou Zekai met Bai Xing's gaze without backing down, and the relationship between the two was full of sexual desire.In order to prevent the two sentries from fighting suddenly, Jiang Botao hurriedly intervened between the two, and explained to Bai Xing that Zhou Zekai's behavior was not out of malice, but just to confirm whether he was the spear that attacked the two in the hospital before. The owner of the falcon.
After listening to Jiang Botao's explanation, although Bai Xing's expression softened a lot, there was still some displeasure between his brows: "I understand, but my empathy system doesn't allow me to maintain it for too long."
"Just confirm it." Jiang Botao said sincerely.
Bai Xing sighed, a faint white light emerged from his body, and then disappeared, then he motioned for the two to lower their heads: "Here, it's this guy."
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao looked down, there was a tan ball of fur at Bai Xing's feet, the fluffy ball that seemed to have just woken up slowly circled in place, and then it seemed to be Zhou Zekai who was staring at it. Yu Jiang Botao was taken aback, shrank back a bit, and hastily and timidly crawled behind Bai Xing's trouser legs.
"Wow, so cute." The fluffy Jiang Botao couldn't help sighing when he looked at the fluffy furball, "Is it a brown bear?"
"It's a grizzly bear, and its name is Magma." Bai Xing bent down, grabbed the nape of his neck, and picked up the bear cub hiding behind him, "You wouldn't say it's cute if you saw it standing up more than two meters away." Such words."
The grizzly cub, which had suddenly left the ground, fluttered its short limbs in the hands of its owner, turned into a ball of light, and returned to Shirahoshi's body.
"Is it enough to dispel your doubts?" Bai Xing looked at Zhou Zekai.
"Yes," Zhou Zekai nodded, "I'm sorry, senior."
Bai Xing sighed again, and pouted at Ma Jianlin who had been standing aside for a long time: "Then hurry up and go to your business."
The moment they opened the door of the interrogation room, Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao immediately understood why Bai Xing said that Qiu Lan's "special situation" was special.
——Where is Qiu Lan sitting on the interrogation chair? It is clearly a humanoid plant that has become a monster!
Zhou Zekai only glanced inside, and before the sitting "Qiu Lan" turned his gaze away, he quickly closed the door of the interrogation room again.Ma Jianlin, who was about to go in, almost bumped his nose on the door. He touched the bridge of his nose, and couldn't help feeling a little angry: "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?"
"Captain Ma," Jiang Botao answered, "Can you describe Qiu Lan's physical characteristics to us?"
"Ah?" Ma Jianlin was baffled by him, "Can't you open the door and see it?"
"Please, describe Qiu Lan's physical characteristics." Jiang Botao paused, then emphasized: "The physical characteristics of Qiu Lan that you have seen."
Ma Jianlin, who heard Jiang Botao's subtext, seemed to have seen a ghost: "She, she, isn't she a human?"
"Captain Ma." Zhou Zekai held the doorknob of the interrogation room, frowning slightly, looking impatient.
"Okay, okay," Ma Jianlin responded repeatedly, recalling, and said: "Well... 28 years old, southern appearance, oval face, double eyelids, light skin, thin body, height... about the same as Xiao Jiang, Shawl-length hair, dyed brown at the ends, slightly curled, wearing a—”
"Enough." Zhou Zekai interrupted Ma Jianlin, he half opened the door of the interrogation room, ignored "Qiu Lan" who was interested in him, looked her up and down quickly, and then closed the door of the interrogation room.
"It's the Ghost Hand Vine," Zhou Zekai said to the other two, "What ordinary people see is her 'root'."
"'Root'? What is that?" Ma Jianlin asked with a frown.
"It's a corpse parasitized by the ghost hand vine," Jiang Botao explained, "it will use the nutrients it usually takes to maintain the immortality of the corpse, and the ghost hand vine itself relies on corpse energy to survive, the 'main body' and' Roots' is a singular symbiotic relationship."
Ma Jianlin couldn't help gasping after hearing this: "No wonder the household registration information shows that Qiu Lan is 48 years old, but she looks like she is still in her 20s!"
Zhou Zekai stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, and Jiang Botao also breathed out secretly: "Captain Ma, for safety reasons, Xiao Zhou and I can just go in, and you can just watch from the next door."
Ma Jianlin opened his mouth, although he was a little reluctant, but he knew that Jiang Botao had good intentions, so he had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Zekai who opened the door of the interrogation room for the third time finally stepped in. Jiang Botao followed behind him and carefully locked the door. "Qiu Lan" kept watching the two of them take their seats, then stretched out his hand to brush his hair, and said with a smile, "You really can see it."
"You want to see me?" Zhou Zekai didn't pick up on "Qiu Lan".
"Yes." "Qiu Lan" nodded.
"Why?" Zhou Zekai asked.
"I want to see what kind of person killed Junhao," "Qiu Lan" said, "I didn't expect you to be an ordinary person."
"Tang Junhao?" Zhou Zekai naturally didn't forget the young sentinel who committed a murder and hijacking case due to sensory overload and was eventually killed by him more than half a month ago because he failed to receive spiritual counseling in time after his natural awakening.
"That's right, he is my son after all." After "Qiu Lan" finished speaking, he added, "Ah, it's half a son. Although I didn't give birth to him, I raised him for more than twenty years."
"Did you get Qiu Lan as your 'root' more than 20 years ago?" Jiang Botao asked.
"Yes, she died of hemorrhage after childbirth." "Qiu Lan" was always smiling when talking about the past, "My husband couldn't accept her death, so 'I' was born."
"You mean, Tang Jianbo created 'you'?"
"Qiu Lan" smiled and didn't answer this question. She just changed the topic and talked about other things: "I have raised Junhao for more than 20 years. No matter what, I still have feelings for him, and I also have feelings for my husband." Very emotional."
"Then do you know why Tang Junhao died?" Jiang Botao tried sideways to test how much "Qiu Lan" knew about the things behind the scenes.
"You don't have to test me, I promised, as long as I meet the person who killed Junhao, I will tell the whole story about Guan Lei." After "Qiu Lan" finished speaking, he added thoughtfully: "Oh, Guan Lei Lei is Meng Ping's wife, you probably don't know."
"You should be involved in more than Guan Lei's case, right?" Jiang Botao frowned, "You were also behind Yan Shaoli's murder."
"Qiu Lan" still just laughed and didn't answer.
"Tang Junhao, he didn't awaken naturally." Zhou Zekai said suddenly, "What did you do to him?"
"Qiu Lan" subconsciously twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard this sentence—this micro-expression did not escape Jiang Botao's eyes—then her complexion returned to normal, and she said with a smile: "I will deal with matters other than the Guan Lei case." I can't say too much, I can only tell you that Tang Jianbo is a lunatic who knows how to dream."
"You—" Jiang Botao was about to say something, but was roughly interrupted by "Qiu Lan". She said to the one-way glass in the room: "Officer, I have already seen the person who killed Junhao." Now, let them go. I won't say a word until they go."
"Qiu Lan" really did what she said, and then no matter what Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao asked, she just sat in the interrogation chair and remained silent, as if she was just a plant quietly spreading its branches.
The two had no choice but to choose to leave, and just as the two were about to leave the interrogation room, "Qiu Lan" suddenly said softly: "The sky is going to change in S City."
Both Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao, who had excellent hearing, heard her almost whispering to herself. Jiang Botao glanced back, "Qiu Lan" sat where he was, and waved to him with a smile.
Due to the "special circumstances" of "Qiu Lan", Ma Jianlin did not send her to the detention center that night, but locked her in a single cell in the special prison area of the headquarters, and planned to continue the interrogation tomorrow.
The night was still and the moonlight leaked into the cell through the high transom.
"Qiu Lan" stretched its branches and leaves in the moonlight, and she stood there quietly for more than two hours.In the middle of the night, there was a sudden wind outside, and the sound of the wind rang in the moonlight, falling on the branches of "Qiu Lan", and she spoke softly in the silence, as if talking to someone: "Dear , I have seen that child."
"As you say, he's a really nice boy."
"Your dream will definitely come true through him."
Perhaps because of the curse-like whisper of "Qiu Lan", Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao felt uneasy more or less in their hearts, so that they did not sleep peacefully that night.
——They even spent the first half of the night relying on boring "staring" in the dark.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the two of them packed up and went out, took a taxi and went straight to the police headquarters.When they arrived at the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the two learned that the interrogation of "Qiu Lan" that was scheduled for this morning had been postponed.According to the security officer of the special prison area who came to report, "Qiu Lan" stayed up all night after being put in prison. He stood like a tree in the center of the cell all night, and didn't curl up on the bed until after four o'clock in the morning. They haven't woken up for a while, because they have never been in contact with the Ghost Hand Vine before, and they don't know its habits, so even if the scheduled interrogation time comes, they dare not wake up "Qiu Lan" easily.
Jiang Botao listened, frowning slightly and stood there for 2 minutes. He seemed to be recalling the related habits of the ghost hand vine. At the end, he finally relaxed his eyebrows and said: "Use an old pagoda tree that is more than a hundred years old Boil the root with fresh rootless water for seven hours, dry the root and grind it into a fine powder, mix it with cinnabar and put it on the yellow talisman, it can reduce all plant spirits."
The security officer couldn't help laughing and crying after hearing this: "Don't say where I can find these materials now, even if I have all the ingredients, I have the time to cook the roots for a day, and she can wake up by herself."
Jiang Botao laughed dryly: "I just mentioned it casually, besides, just in case it comes in handy in the future."
"That's right," the security officer nodded upon hearing Jiang Botao's words, "I've written down the method, thank you in advance."
The two bid farewell to the security guards. Yu Ning, the deputy team leader of the criminal investigation brigade over there, happened to be holding two folders and hurried to the team. It seemed that he was coming back to get things. When he looked up and saw Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao, he hurriedly said hello. : "Come on, just right, you two come with me."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Botao saw him in such a hurry, he quickly walked two steps to catch up with Zhou Zekai who was following Yu Ning.
"The two suspects in the medical trouble finally woke up, and the interrogation will begin immediately." Yu Ning looked at the folder in his hand as he walked, and confirmed that all the materials needed for the interrogation had been prepared.
Since there were two culprits who tried to take Jiang Botao away from the MICU that day, in order to avoid collusion, the two have been detained separately in the guard room of the headquarters since they were captured, and the interrogation is naturally conducted separately.They are now going to interrogate one of the suspects named Lai Cailiang. This person took an overdose of drugs on New Year's Eve. When he was caught, he showed mild symptoms of drug poisoning. Yu Ning, who was notified, arranged the interrogation without stopping.
The three of them hurried to the interrogation room, and when they all reached the door of the interrogation room, Yu Ning, who knew more about the world than Ma Jianlin, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and said to Jiang Botao, "How about I go in with Xiao Zhou, Xiao Jiang?" Why don't you go to the next door and watch?"
Both Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao were taken aback by Yu Ning's words. Yu Ning explained: "You are their target. If you participate in the interrogation, it may cause psychological pressure on Lai Cailiang."
"Ah..." Jiang Botao instantly understood Yu Ning's arrangement, so he nodded and said, "I understand."
When the door opened, Lai Cailiang, who was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, trembled visibly. He raised his head and glanced at Yu Ning and Zhou Zekai who entered the door, but he didn't dare to look up at them.Zhou Zekai took a look at him when he was seated, and recognized that he was the man who was captured by the surveillance cameras when Fang Minghua tore off his mask during his escape after the hijacking was exposed.
Jiang Botao's spiritual guide followed them into the interrogation room. The big white wolf circled twice in front of Lai Cailiang. Finally, it nimbly jumped onto the interrogation table, squatted and said to Zhou Zekai, "It's him, He was also the one who attacked me that night when I went to rescue Zhao Xinhong."
While listening, Zhou Zekai reached out to turn on the computer on the interrogation table, unconsciously almost pressing the power button.
After the routine basic questioning, Yu Ning deliberately asked, "Do you know why you were arrested?"
"Suck, take drugs." Lai Cailiang replied in a low voice.
"What else?" Yu Ning asked again.
Lai Cailiang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed a few times, and tentatively replied: "What else can there be?"
"About three o'clock in the afternoon on December 28th, why did you go to the city hospital?" Yu Ning raised his voice and asked with a straight face.
As soon as Yu Ning mentioned the city hospital, Lai Cailiang's face changed suddenly.
"That day at the city hospital, you and Cheng Qi pretended to be doctors and tried to take a patient away from the MICU. After the incident was revealed, you injured the doctor who came to stop you." Yu Ning knocked on the table, "I didn't say anything." wrong?"
Lai Cailiang lowered his head and said nothing. Zhou Zekai, who played the role of the recorder, sat beside him and watched coldly. He suddenly spoke, with a tough and domineering voice different from Yu Ning, and said in a deep voice, "Say."
"Xiao Zhou, I have to remind you," Bai Lang, who had been squatting quietly all this time, suddenly spoke, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Using abilities to extract confessions during an interrogation is an illegal act."
Zhou Zekai pretended not to hear, and still just stared at Lai Cailiang. Under the influence of the "sanction", the latter really shook up everything that happened that day, including the cause and effect.
Lai Cailiang and his accomplice Cheng Qi are serious drug addicts with a history of nearly ten years of drug abuse. Since the second half of this year, because of the crackdown on drug distribution channels in and out of the city by S City, the prices of a small number of drugs that have survived in S City have been reduced. skyrocketed.Because their wages could not support the daily drug expenses, the two were ready to take risks and rely on "trafficking, breeding and smoking" to obtain drug money.However, just after the two found a familiar drug dealer to explain their intentions, the drug dealer offered them another job that could make "huge profits".
"—He said that as long as the work is done, he can give us 50 at one time, plus the 'bath salts' for the first half of the year." Lai Cailiang confessed, "We did this job twice, The first time we didn’t prepare, we were repelled. The second time we sneaked into the hospital, everything was provided by the superiors. Lao Cheng and I went to the nurse in the outpatient department to get the magnetic card, and went to the back of the dispensing room to change our clothes. Infiltrated into the MICU."
Zhou Zekai already understood what Lai Cailiang confessed later on, and he was more concerned about the "superior" he mentioned, so Zhou Zekai interrupted Lai Cailiang's narration and asked directly: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"I, I don't know." Lai Cailiang said.
Yu Ning glanced at Zhou Zekai, and asked in a different way: "Did the drug dealer who provided you with this job mention who asked him to do this job?"
"Yes," Lai Cailiang confessed, "it is the previous family who sold him drugs. The small drug dealers in the entire S city call him the big boss."
"Have you ever seen this person? What kind of person is he?" Yu Ning was persuasive.
"I haven't seen it, but I heard... I heard that this big boss is crazy."
"Neuropathy?"
"I don't know the specifics, I just heard."
Seeing that Lai Cailiang really didn't know much about the "big boss", Yu Ning changed the topic back to the city hospital: "Then do you know who the people you are going to take away these two times are?"
"I don't know, I just saw the photo, he's a pretty boy." Lai Cailiang paused, and added: "Old Cheng and I guessed that he must have messed with the boss's woman, and that's why the superiors are going to deal with him."
The white wolf who was sitting on the table wagging his tail was obviously stiff for a moment because of this sentence, and even Zhou Zekai's expression loosened a little - Jiang Botao dared to bet that if no one else was around, Zhou Zekai would definitely laugh out loud on the spot.
Fortunately, Zhou Zekai held back his expression, coughed dryly, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the nurse who gave the magnetic card?"
"I don't know." Lai Cailiang shook his head, "It was the first time we met that day."
"Then you don't know that little nurse died, do you?" Yu Ning said.
"What? Dead?" Lai Cailiang was taken aback, and explained in a panic, "I don't know, we just went to her to get a magnetic card, and we left after we got it. Officer, this person is not us Killed, really not, no."
"I know you didn't kill her, but you were the last ones to see her that day." Yu Ning softened his tone a little, as if trying to appease Lai Cailiang's uneasiness, "Did she act abnormally at that time?"
"Abnormal?" Lai Cailiang frowned, as if recalling, "Probably not. We were very nervous at the time and didn't pay attention to it."
Then Yu Ning asked some other details about the case, and Lai Cailiang confessed all of them. Seeing that he couldn't get more information about the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhou Zekai lifted the "sanction" imposed on Lai Cailiang .
The interrogation of Lai Cailiang soon came to an end. Zhou Zekai, who finished the finishing work, joined Jiang Botao, who had been waiting outside the interrogation room. The white wolf circled around its master twice, and returned to his body as a light spot. .
The two of them took a breath, and Ma Jianlin sent Shi Wengao to find them - the interrogation against "Qiu Lan" had already started in the special interrogation room.
Zhou Zekai took a can of instant coffee and took a deep breath—he was a little dizzy due to the use of the "sanction" just now, and it was only now that he was relieved—he drank the remaining half of the can of coffee After all, he raised his spirits and followed Shi Wengao to the special interrogation room with Jiang Botao.
"Qiu Lan" who was sitting on the interrogation chair seemed to have had a good night's sleep, and looked very energetic.She may have noticed Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao's arrival, she kept staring intently at the one-way glass in the interrogation room, turning a deaf ear to all of Ma Jianlin's inquiries.
"Do you think she saw us?" Jiang Botao asked Zhou Zekai in a low voice, and the latter met "Qiu Lan" eyes for a moment through the one-way glass, and then slowly said: "It's hard to say."
"Officer," "Qiu Lan" who looked away suddenly interrupted Ma Jianlin's interrogation, "Can I present the case myself?"
Ma Jianlin froze for a moment, then he nodded.
"Then, please don't interrupt me before I finish." "Qiu Lan" smiled politely at him, and then her eyes turned to the one-way glass in the interrogation room, and began to narrate about Guan Lei. relevant circumstances of the case.
Zhou Zekai, who was facing "Qiu Lan"'s gaze, suddenly had a wonderful illusion, as if "Qiu Lan" who was separated by a wall was not explaining the case to Ma Jianlin, but talking to himself.
According to "Qiu Lan"'s confession, the truth of Guan Lei's case was beyond everyone's expectations. Almost no one would have thought that, as the victim of such a tragic "pregnant woman's dismemberment case", Guan Lei would have voluntarily Killed!
Guan Lei voluntarily lay down on the dissection bed in the garage, allowing Tang Jianbo and "Qiu Lan" to cut out her eight-month-old child, but she herself died on the spot due to abdominal hemorrhage. The body was dismembered, and "Qiu Lan" drove the body and dumped it into a certain bridge hole in the urban-rural fringe.Tang Jianbo, who finally finished all this, took "Qiu Lan" and Tang Junhao together to abscond and hid.
After narrating all this, "Qiu Lan" looked very calm, as if she was not confessing a shocking murder just now, but telling a bizarre story.
——She even asked Shi Wengao, who was dumbfounded, to pour her a glass of water.
"This, this, this..." Ma Jianlin looked at the question notes, not knowing what to ask next.
Jiang Botao, who had been listening in the next room, took a step forward, turned on the microphone connected to the speaker in the interrogation room, and asked directly, "Why was Guan Lei voluntarily killed?"
"Qiu Lan" smiled and didn't answer.Zhou Zekai brought the microphone over, collected himself, and said in a deep voice, "Answer me."
After being processed by the loudspeaker, his voice sounded a little dull, but the aloofness and arrogance in Zhou Zekai's tone still made people feel intimidated.
"I don't know." As soon as "Qiu Lan" finished speaking, she raised her hand and half covered her lips. She looked at the one-way glass in surprise, and asked from the air, "What did you do?"
Zhou Zekai, who didn't get the answer with the help of "sanctions", couldn't help but clenched his fist and hit the wall. Jiang Botao frowned, feeling very strange: Zhou Zekai's words can't make mistakes, so "Qiu Lan" is true and not true. I don't know the reason why Guan Lei was killed voluntarily, but as Tang Jianbo's accomplice in killing Guan Lei, how could "Qiu Lan" not know the key to this!
After recovering from his discomfort, Zhou Zekai breathed out again. He was holding the microphone and was about to speak again, but Jiang Botao held it down: "You can't use 'sanction' anymore."
"You have a bad complexion." Jiang Botao added, the two of them met each other and exchanged silently. In the end, Zhou Zekai was defeated. He put down the microphone resentfully, stood aside and sulked.
Jiang Botao didn't bother Zhou Zekai, who was having a child's temper. He held the microphone and pondered for a while, as if he was looking for a good entry point. After a while, Jiang Botao hesitated and asked, "Will you Was the baby in Guan Lei's womb cut out to make a ghost baby?"
"Guan Lei's son is a waste." "Qiu Lan" stretched out his hand to flick his bangs, and said lightly: "He can't become a god, so Tang Jianbo can only make him a ghost."
"God?" Jiang Botao frowned, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"It's just a dream." "Qiu Lan" smiled, maybe to avoid ambiguity, she added: "After all, I said yesterday that Tang Jianbo is a lunatic who is very good at dreaming."
When "Qiu Lan" said this, Jiang Botao suddenly thought of the unnatural expression on "Qiu Lan"'s face when Tang Junhao was mentioned yesterday, so he deliberately mentioned Tang Junhao, wanting to test "Qiu Lan"'s reaction : "What about Tang Junhao? Is his loss of control also because he can't be a 'god'?"
Sure enough, as soon as she heard Tang Junhao's name, "Qiu Lan" began to lose control of her facial expression—the corners of her mouth drooped, with obvious sadness and regret in her eyes—she said softly: "My husband and I both know that Mr. Hao is just an ordinary person, but Tang Jianbo—”
As if someone had cut off her vocal cords, "Qiu Lan" stopped speaking abruptly. She lowered her eyes and wondered what she was thinking. When she raised her head again, her previous image of a calm and capable woman was restored.
"You don't have to talk to me, I won't say anything more about Junhao." "Qiu Lan" smiled at the one-way glass, "But for the sake of my liking you, I can tell you something extra .”
"I put the soul-sealing nail in Shao Li's body."
"I have a beauty shop under my name, and it is easy to disguise the Soul Nail as a beauty needle and leave it in her body."
"Wouldn't it hurt to put such a thick needle in?" Shi Wengao couldn't help but muttered to himself for a while, "Qiu Lan" seemed to have heard his muttering, and she turned her eyes down. On this young policeman, he smiled and said, "My tree sap can numb the nerves. If you take too much, it's not impossible for you to obey me, right?"
Shi Wengao, who was shaking his head again and again, shrank his neck, completely ignoring Ma Jianlin's hateful eyes beside him.
"I'm tired, take me back." "Qiu Lan" flicked his bangs again, and said softly, "I won't say another word today."
——The initiative from the beginning to the end of this interrogation was actually firmly in her hands.
After "Qiu Lan" was brought back to the special surveillance area, Zhou Zekai met with Jiang Botao, Ma Jianlin and others.Zhou Zekai is obviously still making trouble with Jiang Botao for preventing him from using "sanctions".
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao, who had settled their worries, spent the New Year's Eve in the ward. The aunt in the next bed occupied the only TV in the ward to watch the New Year's Eve party. The two people who were not interested in this pulled the curtain on the bed, and Jiang Botao From under the pillow, Zhou Zekai found two cans of low-concentration juice wine that Zhou Zekai bought from the nurse on his back. Zhou Zekai opened the mental barrier and once again separated a world of two people.
The two sipped wine and chatted without saying a word. They both deliberately avoided those troublesome things and just picked up some trivial gossip.After going back and forth, the cans ran out, Zhou Zekai avoided the nurse on duty, and sneakily threw the two empty cans into the trash can in the stairwell.
When he returned to the ward, Jiang Botao was already lying on the bed half asleep, Zhou Zekai looked down at his blushing cheeks, and began to regret that maybe he shouldn't have been allowed to drink just now.Zhou Zekai swiped his phone to check the time, it was only 08:30 in the evening, but Jiang Botao's body was not fully recovered, and he was already very tired after using his abilities today, so it would be good to sleep more.
Zhou Zekai, who was not yet sleepy, sat by the bed and played with his mobile phone for a while. On New Year's Eve in previous years, his mobile phone was always ringing non-stop, and his social software was filled with all kinds of New Year greetings sent by Whistle to his colleagues.But this year, until after midnight, Zhou Zekai only received a few sporadic New Year greetings, all from the police officers who knew him well in the police department.After replying to the text messages one by one step by step, Zhou Zekai went to wash up briefly, and climbed onto the hospital bed lightly.
Jiang Botao, who was already in a deep sleep state, didn't notice this. Zhou Zekai lay on the side of the bed for a while, and when his hands and feet were warmed up, he moved in and put his arms around Jiang Botao's shoulders to help him press down. Press the quilt corner.
Zhou Zekai, who immersed himself fully in the guide, told himself not to think too much, no matter what, at least he still has Jiang Botao.
Having nothing to say all night, the two cuddled together for a good night's sleep, and thus calmly ushered in the first ray of sunrise of the new year.
After a good night's sleep, Jiang Botao's mental state looked extremely good, and he couldn't tell that he was still sick until the day before yesterday. Director Zheng gave him a round of routine checkups, and he approved it very readily. Jiang Botao's discharge application.
The two arrived home at noon. Although the "1225 corpse hidden in the wall case" had been solved, the on-site inspection work had not yet been completed. Their rental house was still temporarily requisitioned by the police department, and several technicians entered the house from time to time. In and out.Jiang Botao didn't care about so much, the first thing he did when he got home was to rush to the bathroom and take a comfortable shower.
Zhou Zekai, who threw the two of them's flimsy changes of clothes into the washing machine, followed closely behind, and washed away the exhaustion accumulated from head to toe with a delightful hot bath.
As the saying goes: how to relieve fatigue?Only a hot bath.
After tidying himself up and wrapping himself in coral fleece pajamas, Jiang Botao rolled over on the long-lost bed with a penguin pillow in his arms. He picked up his phone and wanted to research what the two of them would have for dinner when Ma Jianlin called came in.
Ma Jianlin first exchanged greetings with Jiang Botao when he recovered and was discharged from the hospital, and then informed him that the two gangsters who tried to take him from the MICU out of the hospital had been arrested and brought to justice, but the two grandsons were high on drugs and high on New Year's Eve last night. He has not recovered yet, and interrogation is not possible for the time being. If he and Zhou Zekai are interested, they can directly come to the bureau to participate in the interrogation tomorrow. By the way, he will send Yan Shaoli's autopsy report and the sealed soul extracted from her bones to the police station. Take a look.
After Jiang Botao thanked him repeatedly, he hung up the phone. At the same time that Zhou Zekai came out of the bathroom wiping his hair, he told Zhou Zekai about it. His anger and curiosity——he would have to take a good look at it tomorrow to find out why and why he tormented his guide like this.
——Maybe it really is a new year and a new atmosphere. On the first day of the new year, the good news comes one after another.
After these two fluffy naive ghosts had a fight on the bed with a penguin doll over the question of "Should I have Mala Tang or Mala Dry Pot for dinner", Jiang Botao, who had won against Zhou Zekai, just wanted to order a piece of food. After a few days of taking out spicy dry pot, Ma Jianlin suddenly called again.
Only this time, Ma Jianlin and the two of them went straight to the police headquarters. There was a case where the suspects were called by name and wanted to see Zhou Zekai.
"See me?" Zhou Zekai, who was listening to the phone together, was at a loss, "What case?"
"Meng Ping's case." As soon as Ma Jianlin finished speaking, he quickly corrected him: "Meng Ping's wife's case."
"Meng Ping's wife?" Jiang Botao vaguely remembered that more than half a month ago they went to the Qingwan Bridge to deal with Meng Ping, who was holding a gun and endangering public safety. Ma Jianlin once mentioned that Meng Ping's wife who was eight months pregnant was cut open. After investigation, the first scene of the crime was determined to be in a villa owned by Meng Ping's boss, Tang Jianbo.
And this Tang Jianbo is the key person involved in the many cases they are currently investigating!
"A suspect has been caught in this case? Is it Tang Jianbo?" Jiang Botao asked hastily.
"No, it's Tang Jianbo's wife, Qiu Lan, who just surrendered herself." Ma Jianlin paused for a moment, then continued: "Qiu Lan said that she can explain the case of murdering Meng Ping's wife together with Tang Jianbo, but she has one condition , I just want to see Xiao Zhou, and only after meeting him will she be willing to reveal the details of the case."
Although Zhou Zekai didn't quite understand why Qiu Lan, who had surrendered himself, asked to see him, but the appearance of Qiu Lan was undoubtedly an important breakthrough for them to find the missing Tang Jianbo.Immediately, he didn't bother to think about anything, after changing clothes with Jiang Botao, he called a car and hurried to the police headquarters.
Downstairs of the police headquarters, the two accidentally ran into Ma Jianlin and another sentinel, Bai Xing, the captain of the Second Criminal Police Team of the Wenpu District Police Department.
This mature and intellectual retired sentry was still wrapped in the long brown overcoat. When he saw Zhou Zekai, he smiled and greeted him: "Yo, boy, are you recovering well?"
Facing Bai Xing's teasing, Zhou Zekai scratched his cheek in embarrassment. Jiang Botao sensed that Bai Xing's mental power was different from ordinary people, and understood that he should be the sentinel who had no choice but to retire because of the severe damage to the empathy system eight years ago. Then he greeted him generously: "Hello, senior."
"Hello," Bai Xing smiled, and said to Jiang Botao half-jokingly and half-complainingly, "When you were in the hospital, your children caused me a lot of trouble."
Zhou Zekai, who couldn't hear Bai Xing's repeated teasing of him, changed the subject in embarrassment: "Why are you here, senior?"
"Qiu Lan originally came to our bureau to surrender, but this case is at the headquarters, so I handed her over." Bai Xing said, "Besides, her situation is a bit special."
"Special?" Jiang Botao tilted his head.
"You'll know it after you go up and look, and you can't say a word." Bai Xing glanced at Ma Jianlin, who was also in a daze, and then he looked down at his watch: "I have to go back to the game. There's a case study."
"Wait, senior," Zhou Zekai called to Bai Xing who was about to leave, "Can I have a look at your spiritual guide?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Xing's expression became fierce in an instant. He half-raised his head and stared at Zhou Zekai. The aura around him gave the impression that he was still some kind of refined intellectual. beast.
Zhou Zekai met Bai Xing's gaze without backing down, and the relationship between the two was full of sexual desire.In order to prevent the two sentries from fighting suddenly, Jiang Botao hurriedly intervened between the two, and explained to Bai Xing that Zhou Zekai's behavior was not out of malice, but just to confirm whether he was the spear that attacked the two in the hospital before. The owner of the falcon.
After listening to Jiang Botao's explanation, although Bai Xing's expression softened a lot, there was still some displeasure between his brows: "I understand, but my empathy system doesn't allow me to maintain it for too long."
"Just confirm it." Jiang Botao said sincerely.
Bai Xing sighed, a faint white light emerged from his body, and then disappeared, then he motioned for the two to lower their heads: "Here, it's this guy."
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao looked down, there was a tan ball of fur at Bai Xing's feet, the fluffy ball that seemed to have just woken up slowly circled in place, and then it seemed to be Zhou Zekai who was staring at it. Yu Jiang Botao was taken aback, shrank back a bit, and hastily and timidly crawled behind Bai Xing's trouser legs.
"Wow, so cute." The fluffy Jiang Botao couldn't help sighing when he looked at the fluffy furball, "Is it a brown bear?"
"It's a grizzly bear, and its name is Magma." Bai Xing bent down, grabbed the nape of his neck, and picked up the bear cub hiding behind him, "You wouldn't say it's cute if you saw it standing up more than two meters away." Such words."
The grizzly cub, which had suddenly left the ground, fluttered its short limbs in the hands of its owner, turned into a ball of light, and returned to Shirahoshi's body.
"Is it enough to dispel your doubts?" Bai Xing looked at Zhou Zekai.
"Yes," Zhou Zekai nodded, "I'm sorry, senior."
Bai Xing sighed again, and pouted at Ma Jianlin who had been standing aside for a long time: "Then hurry up and go to your business."
The moment they opened the door of the interrogation room, Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao immediately understood why Bai Xing said that Qiu Lan's "special situation" was special.
——Where is Qiu Lan sitting on the interrogation chair? It is clearly a humanoid plant that has become a monster!
Zhou Zekai only glanced inside, and before the sitting "Qiu Lan" turned his gaze away, he quickly closed the door of the interrogation room again.Ma Jianlin, who was about to go in, almost bumped his nose on the door. He touched the bridge of his nose, and couldn't help feeling a little angry: "Xiao Zhou, what are you doing?"
"Captain Ma," Jiang Botao answered, "Can you describe Qiu Lan's physical characteristics to us?"
"Ah?" Ma Jianlin was baffled by him, "Can't you open the door and see it?"
"Please, describe Qiu Lan's physical characteristics." Jiang Botao paused, then emphasized: "The physical characteristics of Qiu Lan that you have seen."
Ma Jianlin, who heard Jiang Botao's subtext, seemed to have seen a ghost: "She, she, isn't she a human?"
"Captain Ma." Zhou Zekai held the doorknob of the interrogation room, frowning slightly, looking impatient.
"Okay, okay," Ma Jianlin responded repeatedly, recalling, and said: "Well... 28 years old, southern appearance, oval face, double eyelids, light skin, thin body, height... about the same as Xiao Jiang, Shawl-length hair, dyed brown at the ends, slightly curled, wearing a—”
"Enough." Zhou Zekai interrupted Ma Jianlin, he half opened the door of the interrogation room, ignored "Qiu Lan" who was interested in him, looked her up and down quickly, and then closed the door of the interrogation room.
"It's the Ghost Hand Vine," Zhou Zekai said to the other two, "What ordinary people see is her 'root'."
"'Root'? What is that?" Ma Jianlin asked with a frown.
"It's a corpse parasitized by the ghost hand vine," Jiang Botao explained, "it will use the nutrients it usually takes to maintain the immortality of the corpse, and the ghost hand vine itself relies on corpse energy to survive, the 'main body' and' Roots' is a singular symbiotic relationship."
Ma Jianlin couldn't help gasping after hearing this: "No wonder the household registration information shows that Qiu Lan is 48 years old, but she looks like she is still in her 20s!"
Zhou Zekai stood in front of the door and took a deep breath, and Jiang Botao also breathed out secretly: "Captain Ma, for safety reasons, Xiao Zhou and I can just go in, and you can just watch from the next door."
Ma Jianlin opened his mouth, although he was a little reluctant, but he knew that Jiang Botao had good intentions, so he had no choice but to agree.
Zhou Zekai who opened the door of the interrogation room for the third time finally stepped in. Jiang Botao followed behind him and carefully locked the door. "Qiu Lan" kept watching the two of them take their seats, then stretched out his hand to brush his hair, and said with a smile, "You really can see it."
"You want to see me?" Zhou Zekai didn't pick up on "Qiu Lan".
"Yes." "Qiu Lan" nodded.
"Why?" Zhou Zekai asked.
"I want to see what kind of person killed Junhao," "Qiu Lan" said, "I didn't expect you to be an ordinary person."
"Tang Junhao?" Zhou Zekai naturally didn't forget the young sentinel who committed a murder and hijacking case due to sensory overload and was eventually killed by him more than half a month ago because he failed to receive spiritual counseling in time after his natural awakening.
"That's right, he is my son after all." After "Qiu Lan" finished speaking, he added, "Ah, it's half a son. Although I didn't give birth to him, I raised him for more than twenty years."
"Did you get Qiu Lan as your 'root' more than 20 years ago?" Jiang Botao asked.
"Yes, she died of hemorrhage after childbirth." "Qiu Lan" was always smiling when talking about the past, "My husband couldn't accept her death, so 'I' was born."
"You mean, Tang Jianbo created 'you'?"
"Qiu Lan" smiled and didn't answer this question. She just changed the topic and talked about other things: "I have raised Junhao for more than 20 years. No matter what, I still have feelings for him, and I also have feelings for my husband." Very emotional."
"Then do you know why Tang Junhao died?" Jiang Botao tried sideways to test how much "Qiu Lan" knew about the things behind the scenes.
"You don't have to test me, I promised, as long as I meet the person who killed Junhao, I will tell the whole story about Guan Lei." After "Qiu Lan" finished speaking, he added thoughtfully: "Oh, Guan Lei Lei is Meng Ping's wife, you probably don't know."
"You should be involved in more than Guan Lei's case, right?" Jiang Botao frowned, "You were also behind Yan Shaoli's murder."
"Qiu Lan" still just laughed and didn't answer.
"Tang Junhao, he didn't awaken naturally." Zhou Zekai said suddenly, "What did you do to him?"
"Qiu Lan" subconsciously twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard this sentence—this micro-expression did not escape Jiang Botao's eyes—then her complexion returned to normal, and she said with a smile: "I will deal with matters other than the Guan Lei case." I can't say too much, I can only tell you that Tang Jianbo is a lunatic who knows how to dream."
"You—" Jiang Botao was about to say something, but was roughly interrupted by "Qiu Lan". She said to the one-way glass in the room: "Officer, I have already seen the person who killed Junhao." Now, let them go. I won't say a word until they go."
"Qiu Lan" really did what she said, and then no matter what Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao asked, she just sat in the interrogation chair and remained silent, as if she was just a plant quietly spreading its branches.
The two had no choice but to choose to leave, and just as the two were about to leave the interrogation room, "Qiu Lan" suddenly said softly: "The sky is going to change in S City."
Both Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao, who had excellent hearing, heard her almost whispering to herself. Jiang Botao glanced back, "Qiu Lan" sat where he was, and waved to him with a smile.
Due to the "special circumstances" of "Qiu Lan", Ma Jianlin did not send her to the detention center that night, but locked her in a single cell in the special prison area of the headquarters, and planned to continue the interrogation tomorrow.
The night was still and the moonlight leaked into the cell through the high transom.
"Qiu Lan" stretched its branches and leaves in the moonlight, and she stood there quietly for more than two hours.In the middle of the night, there was a sudden wind outside, and the sound of the wind rang in the moonlight, falling on the branches of "Qiu Lan", and she spoke softly in the silence, as if talking to someone: "Dear , I have seen that child."
"As you say, he's a really nice boy."
"Your dream will definitely come true through him."
Perhaps because of the curse-like whisper of "Qiu Lan", Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao felt uneasy more or less in their hearts, so that they did not sleep peacefully that night.
——They even spent the first half of the night relying on boring "staring" in the dark.
As soon as it was dawn the next day, the two of them packed up and went out, took a taxi and went straight to the police headquarters.When they arrived at the Criminal Investigation Brigade, the two learned that the interrogation of "Qiu Lan" that was scheduled for this morning had been postponed.According to the security officer of the special prison area who came to report, "Qiu Lan" stayed up all night after being put in prison. He stood like a tree in the center of the cell all night, and didn't curl up on the bed until after four o'clock in the morning. They haven't woken up for a while, because they have never been in contact with the Ghost Hand Vine before, and they don't know its habits, so even if the scheduled interrogation time comes, they dare not wake up "Qiu Lan" easily.
Jiang Botao listened, frowning slightly and stood there for 2 minutes. He seemed to be recalling the related habits of the ghost hand vine. At the end, he finally relaxed his eyebrows and said: "Use an old pagoda tree that is more than a hundred years old Boil the root with fresh rootless water for seven hours, dry the root and grind it into a fine powder, mix it with cinnabar and put it on the yellow talisman, it can reduce all plant spirits."
The security officer couldn't help laughing and crying after hearing this: "Don't say where I can find these materials now, even if I have all the ingredients, I have the time to cook the roots for a day, and she can wake up by herself."
Jiang Botao laughed dryly: "I just mentioned it casually, besides, just in case it comes in handy in the future."
"That's right," the security officer nodded upon hearing Jiang Botao's words, "I've written down the method, thank you in advance."
The two bid farewell to the security guards. Yu Ning, the deputy team leader of the criminal investigation brigade over there, happened to be holding two folders and hurried to the team. It seemed that he was coming back to get things. When he looked up and saw Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao, he hurriedly said hello. : "Come on, just right, you two come with me."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Botao saw him in such a hurry, he quickly walked two steps to catch up with Zhou Zekai who was following Yu Ning.
"The two suspects in the medical trouble finally woke up, and the interrogation will begin immediately." Yu Ning looked at the folder in his hand as he walked, and confirmed that all the materials needed for the interrogation had been prepared.
Since there were two culprits who tried to take Jiang Botao away from the MICU that day, in order to avoid collusion, the two have been detained separately in the guard room of the headquarters since they were captured, and the interrogation is naturally conducted separately.They are now going to interrogate one of the suspects named Lai Cailiang. This person took an overdose of drugs on New Year's Eve. When he was caught, he showed mild symptoms of drug poisoning. Yu Ning, who was notified, arranged the interrogation without stopping.
The three of them hurried to the interrogation room, and when they all reached the door of the interrogation room, Yu Ning, who knew more about the world than Ma Jianlin, suddenly stopped. He turned his head and said to Jiang Botao, "How about I go in with Xiao Zhou, Xiao Jiang?" Why don't you go to the next door and watch?"
Both Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao were taken aback by Yu Ning's words. Yu Ning explained: "You are their target. If you participate in the interrogation, it may cause psychological pressure on Lai Cailiang."
"Ah..." Jiang Botao instantly understood Yu Ning's arrangement, so he nodded and said, "I understand."
When the door opened, Lai Cailiang, who was handcuffed on the interrogation chair, trembled visibly. He raised his head and glanced at Yu Ning and Zhou Zekai who entered the door, but he didn't dare to look up at them.Zhou Zekai took a look at him when he was seated, and recognized that he was the man who was captured by the surveillance cameras when Fang Minghua tore off his mask during his escape after the hijacking was exposed.
Jiang Botao's spiritual guide followed them into the interrogation room. The big white wolf circled twice in front of Lai Cailiang. Finally, it nimbly jumped onto the interrogation table, squatted and said to Zhou Zekai, "It's him, He was also the one who attacked me that night when I went to rescue Zhao Xinhong."
While listening, Zhou Zekai reached out to turn on the computer on the interrogation table, unconsciously almost pressing the power button.
After the routine basic questioning, Yu Ning deliberately asked, "Do you know why you were arrested?"
"Suck, take drugs." Lai Cailiang replied in a low voice.
"What else?" Yu Ning asked again.
Lai Cailiang was stunned for a moment, then he laughed a few times, and tentatively replied: "What else can there be?"
"About three o'clock in the afternoon on December 28th, why did you go to the city hospital?" Yu Ning raised his voice and asked with a straight face.
As soon as Yu Ning mentioned the city hospital, Lai Cailiang's face changed suddenly.
"That day at the city hospital, you and Cheng Qi pretended to be doctors and tried to take a patient away from the MICU. After the incident was revealed, you injured the doctor who came to stop you." Yu Ning knocked on the table, "I didn't say anything." wrong?"
Lai Cailiang lowered his head and said nothing. Zhou Zekai, who played the role of the recorder, sat beside him and watched coldly. He suddenly spoke, with a tough and domineering voice different from Yu Ning, and said in a deep voice, "Say."
"Xiao Zhou, I have to remind you," Bai Lang, who had been squatting quietly all this time, suddenly spoke, with a hint of teasing in his tone: "Using abilities to extract confessions during an interrogation is an illegal act."
Zhou Zekai pretended not to hear, and still just stared at Lai Cailiang. Under the influence of the "sanction", the latter really shook up everything that happened that day, including the cause and effect.
Lai Cailiang and his accomplice Cheng Qi are serious drug addicts with a history of nearly ten years of drug abuse. Since the second half of this year, because of the crackdown on drug distribution channels in and out of the city by S City, the prices of a small number of drugs that have survived in S City have been reduced. skyrocketed.Because their wages could not support the daily drug expenses, the two were ready to take risks and rely on "trafficking, breeding and smoking" to obtain drug money.However, just after the two found a familiar drug dealer to explain their intentions, the drug dealer offered them another job that could make "huge profits".
"—He said that as long as the work is done, he can give us 50 at one time, plus the 'bath salts' for the first half of the year." Lai Cailiang confessed, "We did this job twice, The first time we didn’t prepare, we were repelled. The second time we sneaked into the hospital, everything was provided by the superiors. Lao Cheng and I went to the nurse in the outpatient department to get the magnetic card, and went to the back of the dispensing room to change our clothes. Infiltrated into the MICU."
Zhou Zekai already understood what Lai Cailiang confessed later on, and he was more concerned about the "superior" he mentioned, so Zhou Zekai interrupted Lai Cailiang's narration and asked directly: "Who is the mastermind behind the scenes?"
"I, I don't know." Lai Cailiang said.
Yu Ning glanced at Zhou Zekai, and asked in a different way: "Did the drug dealer who provided you with this job mention who asked him to do this job?"
"Yes," Lai Cailiang confessed, "it is the previous family who sold him drugs. The small drug dealers in the entire S city call him the big boss."
"Have you ever seen this person? What kind of person is he?" Yu Ning was persuasive.
"I haven't seen it, but I heard... I heard that this big boss is crazy."
"Neuropathy?"
"I don't know the specifics, I just heard."
Seeing that Lai Cailiang really didn't know much about the "big boss", Yu Ning changed the topic back to the city hospital: "Then do you know who the people you are going to take away these two times are?"
"I don't know, I just saw the photo, he's a pretty boy." Lai Cailiang paused, and added: "Old Cheng and I guessed that he must have messed with the boss's woman, and that's why the superiors are going to deal with him."
The white wolf who was sitting on the table wagging his tail was obviously stiff for a moment because of this sentence, and even Zhou Zekai's expression loosened a little - Jiang Botao dared to bet that if no one else was around, Zhou Zekai would definitely laugh out loud on the spot.
Fortunately, Zhou Zekai held back his expression, coughed dryly, and asked in a deep voice, "Do you know the nurse who gave the magnetic card?"
"I don't know." Lai Cailiang shook his head, "It was the first time we met that day."
"Then you don't know that little nurse died, do you?" Yu Ning said.
"What? Dead?" Lai Cailiang was taken aback, and explained in a panic, "I don't know, we just went to her to get a magnetic card, and we left after we got it. Officer, this person is not us Killed, really not, no."
"I know you didn't kill her, but you were the last ones to see her that day." Yu Ning softened his tone a little, as if trying to appease Lai Cailiang's uneasiness, "Did she act abnormally at that time?"
"Abnormal?" Lai Cailiang frowned, as if recalling, "Probably not. We were very nervous at the time and didn't pay attention to it."
Then Yu Ning asked some other details about the case, and Lai Cailiang confessed all of them. Seeing that he couldn't get more information about the mastermind behind the scenes, Zhou Zekai lifted the "sanction" imposed on Lai Cailiang .
The interrogation of Lai Cailiang soon came to an end. Zhou Zekai, who finished the finishing work, joined Jiang Botao, who had been waiting outside the interrogation room. The white wolf circled around its master twice, and returned to his body as a light spot. .
The two of them took a breath, and Ma Jianlin sent Shi Wengao to find them - the interrogation against "Qiu Lan" had already started in the special interrogation room.
Zhou Zekai took a can of instant coffee and took a deep breath—he was a little dizzy due to the use of the "sanction" just now, and it was only now that he was relieved—he drank the remaining half of the can of coffee After all, he raised his spirits and followed Shi Wengao to the special interrogation room with Jiang Botao.
"Qiu Lan" who was sitting on the interrogation chair seemed to have had a good night's sleep, and looked very energetic.She may have noticed Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao's arrival, she kept staring intently at the one-way glass in the interrogation room, turning a deaf ear to all of Ma Jianlin's inquiries.
"Do you think she saw us?" Jiang Botao asked Zhou Zekai in a low voice, and the latter met "Qiu Lan" eyes for a moment through the one-way glass, and then slowly said: "It's hard to say."
"Officer," "Qiu Lan" who looked away suddenly interrupted Ma Jianlin's interrogation, "Can I present the case myself?"
Ma Jianlin froze for a moment, then he nodded.
"Then, please don't interrupt me before I finish." "Qiu Lan" smiled politely at him, and then her eyes turned to the one-way glass in the interrogation room, and began to narrate about Guan Lei. relevant circumstances of the case.
Zhou Zekai, who was facing "Qiu Lan"'s gaze, suddenly had a wonderful illusion, as if "Qiu Lan" who was separated by a wall was not explaining the case to Ma Jianlin, but talking to himself.
According to "Qiu Lan"'s confession, the truth of Guan Lei's case was beyond everyone's expectations. Almost no one would have thought that, as the victim of such a tragic "pregnant woman's dismemberment case", Guan Lei would have voluntarily Killed!
Guan Lei voluntarily lay down on the dissection bed in the garage, allowing Tang Jianbo and "Qiu Lan" to cut out her eight-month-old child, but she herself died on the spot due to abdominal hemorrhage. The body was dismembered, and "Qiu Lan" drove the body and dumped it into a certain bridge hole in the urban-rural fringe.Tang Jianbo, who finally finished all this, took "Qiu Lan" and Tang Junhao together to abscond and hid.
After narrating all this, "Qiu Lan" looked very calm, as if she was not confessing a shocking murder just now, but telling a bizarre story.
——She even asked Shi Wengao, who was dumbfounded, to pour her a glass of water.
"This, this, this..." Ma Jianlin looked at the question notes, not knowing what to ask next.
Jiang Botao, who had been listening in the next room, took a step forward, turned on the microphone connected to the speaker in the interrogation room, and asked directly, "Why was Guan Lei voluntarily killed?"
"Qiu Lan" smiled and didn't answer.Zhou Zekai brought the microphone over, collected himself, and said in a deep voice, "Answer me."
After being processed by the loudspeaker, his voice sounded a little dull, but the aloofness and arrogance in Zhou Zekai's tone still made people feel intimidated.
"I don't know." As soon as "Qiu Lan" finished speaking, she raised her hand and half covered her lips. She looked at the one-way glass in surprise, and asked from the air, "What did you do?"
Zhou Zekai, who didn't get the answer with the help of "sanctions", couldn't help but clenched his fist and hit the wall. Jiang Botao frowned, feeling very strange: Zhou Zekai's words can't make mistakes, so "Qiu Lan" is true and not true. I don't know the reason why Guan Lei was killed voluntarily, but as Tang Jianbo's accomplice in killing Guan Lei, how could "Qiu Lan" not know the key to this!
After recovering from his discomfort, Zhou Zekai breathed out again. He was holding the microphone and was about to speak again, but Jiang Botao held it down: "You can't use 'sanction' anymore."
"You have a bad complexion." Jiang Botao added, the two of them met each other and exchanged silently. In the end, Zhou Zekai was defeated. He put down the microphone resentfully, stood aside and sulked.
Jiang Botao didn't bother Zhou Zekai, who was having a child's temper. He held the microphone and pondered for a while, as if he was looking for a good entry point. After a while, Jiang Botao hesitated and asked, "Will you Was the baby in Guan Lei's womb cut out to make a ghost baby?"
"Guan Lei's son is a waste." "Qiu Lan" stretched out his hand to flick his bangs, and said lightly: "He can't become a god, so Tang Jianbo can only make him a ghost."
"God?" Jiang Botao frowned, "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"It's just a dream." "Qiu Lan" smiled, maybe to avoid ambiguity, she added: "After all, I said yesterday that Tang Jianbo is a lunatic who is very good at dreaming."
When "Qiu Lan" said this, Jiang Botao suddenly thought of the unnatural expression on "Qiu Lan"'s face when Tang Junhao was mentioned yesterday, so he deliberately mentioned Tang Junhao, wanting to test "Qiu Lan"'s reaction : "What about Tang Junhao? Is his loss of control also because he can't be a 'god'?"
Sure enough, as soon as she heard Tang Junhao's name, "Qiu Lan" began to lose control of her facial expression—the corners of her mouth drooped, with obvious sadness and regret in her eyes—she said softly: "My husband and I both know that Mr. Hao is just an ordinary person, but Tang Jianbo—”
As if someone had cut off her vocal cords, "Qiu Lan" stopped speaking abruptly. She lowered her eyes and wondered what she was thinking. When she raised her head again, her previous image of a calm and capable woman was restored.
"You don't have to talk to me, I won't say anything more about Junhao." "Qiu Lan" smiled at the one-way glass, "But for the sake of my liking you, I can tell you something extra .”
"I put the soul-sealing nail in Shao Li's body."
"I have a beauty shop under my name, and it is easy to disguise the Soul Nail as a beauty needle and leave it in her body."
"Wouldn't it hurt to put such a thick needle in?" Shi Wengao couldn't help but muttered to himself for a while, "Qiu Lan" seemed to have heard his muttering, and she turned her eyes down. On this young policeman, he smiled and said, "My tree sap can numb the nerves. If you take too much, it's not impossible for you to obey me, right?"
Shi Wengao, who was shaking his head again and again, shrank his neck, completely ignoring Ma Jianlin's hateful eyes beside him.
"I'm tired, take me back." "Qiu Lan" flicked his bangs again, and said softly, "I won't say another word today."
——The initiative from the beginning to the end of this interrogation was actually firmly in her hands.
After "Qiu Lan" was brought back to the special surveillance area, Zhou Zekai met with Jiang Botao, Ma Jianlin and others.Zhou Zekai is obviously still making trouble with Jiang Botao for preventing him from using "sanctions".
