Escape From the Library

【Innocence Defense-05】

When Xu Yishen followed the police to the Criminal Police Brigade, he immediately saw the words "Beishan City Binjiang District Criminal Police Brigade" written on the gate of the police force. Beishan University and the beach barbecue restaurant are both located in Binjiang District. Beach Drowning Case" and "Campus Murder Case" are both under the jurisdiction of Binjiang District Police Force.

When he came to the police force, he would definitely see Zhu Xiaoting who was brought back for questioning.

Xu Yishen stayed motionless in the policeman's pocket. As soon as he entered the gate of the police force, the policeman's phone rang. He picked up the phone, only to hear the colleague on the other side of the phone say in a low voice: "Captain Chen, the witness to the Beishan University murder case Both the victim and the suspect have been brought, and the body of the deceased has been sent to the forensic anatomy room, do you want to interrogate them now?"

Team Chen was silent for two seconds, and said, "No rush, you go to the office and tell me the details."

He opened the door and walked into the office to pour a glass of water. After a while, a young police officer hurriedly knocked on the door and came in, reporting the situation to him: "Team Chen, the deceased at Beishan University is Xie Xiangqin, 22 years old, a senior student in the law school. Preliminary It was judged that the time of death was around 5:20 in the morning. The reporter was her roommate Mao Yue. The reporter described that she went to the study room last night and returned to the dormitory after 5:[-] in the morning. It was blood, and another roommate Zhu Xiaoting killed Xie Xiangqin with a knife, so she screamed and called the police."

Team Chen raised his eyebrows: "Zhu Xiaoting? The girl who went to the beach with the law school for a barbecue yesterday?"

Young policeman: "Yes. Team Chen... knows her?"

Team Chen laughed and said, "Coincidentally, the person who died on the beach was named Liu Jiajia, who happened to sleep in the same tent as Zhu Xiaoting last night. It seems that Zhu Xiaoting left the beach early in the morning, returned to school alone, and then went back to the dormitory to kill him. Roommate?"

The colleague opened his eyes wide in surprise: "Both cases are related to this Zhu Xiaoting?"

Team Chen frowned, tapped lightly on the table with his fingers, and continued to ask, "Have you got Zhu Xiaoting's phone?"

"It has been collected as evidence, and the identification department is collecting evidence."

"Has the school's monitoring been adjusted?"

"The surveillance in the girls' dormitory building is broken. I only got the surveillance video at the door, and Xiao Zhang and the others are watching it."

"Well, urge the forensic doctor to give a determination of the cause of death as soon as possible. I'll ask this Zhu Xiaoting."

As Team Chen turned around and walked into the interrogation room, a thin girl with tears on her face and pale lips was brought in by the policewoman. She looked at the policewoman tremblingly and said, "I, I'm in a hurry, can I go to the bathroom... ..."

Team Chen raised his chin and said to the policewoman, "Take her there."

Xu Yishen was originally hiding in Captain Chen's pocket. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he quickly activated the mitosis skill, and directly separated a cell and jumped into the policewoman's pocket.

The policewoman took Zhu Xiaoting to the bathroom, uncuffed the handcuffs and let Zhu Xiaoting go to the bathroom.When Zhu Xiaoting went into the bathroom alone, Xu Yishen quickly jumped on her head and hid it in her ear.Zhu Xiaoting washed her face with cold water, and was about to go out when she suddenly heard a soft voice in her ear: "Zhu Xiaoting, you didn't kill anyone, did you?"

Zhu Xiaoting froze for a moment, then stared at the mirror in horror: "You, who are you?"

Xu Yishen: "Shh, don't talk, I'm here to help you. If you can't see me, just assume... I'm a mysterious force sent by God to save you."

Zhu Xiaoting: "???"

Is this a shounen anime?Or God sent to save her?

Xu Yishen had a hard time explaining that he had turned into a cell talking. After making a nonsense reason, he quickly returned to the topic and said: "The police will interrogate you soon, remember what I said. First, never admit that you killed someone, insist that you didn't Murder; Second, the police have rich experience in interrogation. Don’t lie. If you lie, they will easily find loopholes in your logic. In the future, your testimony will become unreliable in the eyes of the judge. Encounter uncertain problems Just say 'I don't know', don't use ambiguous answers like maybe, maybe. Intentional homicide is punishable by death, if you want to save your life, just do as I say."

Zhu Xiaoting's eyes were red, her mind was completely confused, and she thought she was hallucinating.But the voice in her ear was as gentle as a brother who cared about her, she asked in a low voice, "Why, why did you help me?"

Xu Yishen said: "Because, I believe you are innocent."

Zhu Xiaoting's tears welled up uncontrollably.

From the moment Mao Yue pushed open the door and screamed "Zhu Xiaoting has killed", the 703 dormitory was quickly surrounded, and everyone around looked at her with terrified eyes as if they were a murderer. "Zhu Xiaoting killed someone" and "Why did she kill someone?" Even though she shook her head frantically and repeated "I didn't kill anyone", no one listened to her, let alone believed her.

When the police arrived, they immediately handcuffed her.

The cold metal handcuffs made her whole heart sink to the bottom, she thought, she was going to be finished this time, she was the only one at the scene, she accidentally touched the murder weapon, how could she tell? !Will the police believe it?

Just when she was most at a loss and helpless, this gentle voice was like a huge force, pulling her back to her sanity.Hallucinations or not, at least he was right—

She must not admit that she is a murderer. Once she admits, she will be sentenced to death!

Xu Yishen said softly: "Now, take a deep breath and calm down first."

Zhu Xiaoting took a deep breath to calm herself down as much as possible.

Just when Xu Yishen was about to speak, Xu Yishen interrupted her: "Don't talk, think clearly before answering the police's questions. You must be sincere. Don't be afraid. The police will not let any murderer go, but they won't wrong a good person. As long as you really He didn't kill anyone, and the truth will come to light one day."

Zhu Xiaoting looked at herself in the mirror with tears all over her face, and nodded vigorously.

When she turned around and went out, her condition was much better. The female policeman glanced at her and said, "Let's go."

Zhu Xiaoting followed the policewoman back to the interrogation room.Team Chen pursed his lips to let her sit opposite, and asked, "You are Zhu Xiaoting, 22 years old, a senior student at Beishan University's School of Interpretation and Translation?"

"Yes."

"What's your relationship with Xie Xiangqin?"

"Roommate."

"To be more specific, do you have any hatred with her? How do you usually get along?"

"..." Zhu Xiaoting gritted her teeth, and whispered after a while, "I don't like her. She never cares about other people's feelings. She talks on the phone with her boyfriend every day until 2 o'clock in the morning. I am mentally weak, and there are voices in the dormitory. I won’t be able to sleep. Because of her, I haven’t had a rest for a month.”

"So, you have resentment towards her in your heart?"

"...A little bit, but not to the extent of killing people. Our three roommates all have some opinions on her."

"You went to the beach to have a barbecue with the law school students yesterday? Why did you return to school alone?"

"I ate too much barbecue, and I had a stomachache in the middle of the night. Their law school's arrangement is to play at the beach for two days on weekends. I don't feel well, so I want to go back to the dormitory and have a good sleep."

Physical discomfort, although this reason makes sense, it is not convincing enough.What's more, Liu Jiajia, the same tent girl who can prove that she had a stomachache in the middle of the night, is now a corpse.

"Do you know Liu Jiajia? What's the relationship?"

"Gaga is my best friend. We have been in the same class since middle school. She also asked me to go to the barbecue organized by the law school this time. She said that many people did not go, and there were too many places reserved. Went to Cengfan, she helped me pay the money."

"Can you swim?"

The police officer's question was very jumpy.

Zhu Xiaoting was taken aback by the question, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Yes."

"Did you know that Liu Jiajia can swim?"

"Well, she will too."

"Did you pass water to Liu Jiajia before going to bed yesterday?"

"She said she was thirsty, but I gave her a bottle of water."

The more Xu Yishen listened, the more he felt something was wrong. Zhu Xiaoting definitely didn't know that Liu Jiajia was dead. The police kept asking questions about swimming and drinking water. They obviously suspected that she drugged Liu Jiajia's food and then dragged Liu Jiajia into the deep sea.

"Tell me, what did you see when you returned to dormitory 703?" The policeman suddenly changed the subject.

Thinking of the scene at that time, Zhu Xiaoting's lips couldn't help trembling, and she clenched her hands tightly: "I, I saw Xie Xiangqin lying on the ground, still calling me for help. I was frightened and ran over to save her... There was blood gushing out, I held the knife to help her stop the bleeding, I didn't expect it to be so serious, I thought she was just injured accidentally!"

The interrogating policemen looked at each other.

After Zhu Xiaoting calmed down for a while, the police took out the deceased's mobile phone and asked, "You were the last person she contacted before she died, and she sent you a WeChat message saying, 'Come back and talk, we should have a break. ',What does it mean?"

Zhu Xiaoting's face turned pale.

Xu Yishen whispered in her ear: "Don't hide it, tell me clearly about any grievances between you."

Zhu Xiaoting nodded, and said while crying: "I have always been secretly in love with Zou Yijia, our major, but I dare not confess to him. Xie Xiangqin is more courageous, so she took the initiative to confess and chased Zou. She knew that I was jealous of her and said That’s probably the end of it.”

Team Chen raised his eyebrows: "She snatched the boy you liked, and talked with him on the phone every day in front of you, so you have always hated her, had a fierce argument with her in the dormitory, and stabbed her to death on impulse her, right?"

Zhu Xiaoting's eyes widened and she shook her head frantically: "No, I really didn't kill her!"

Team Chen: "However, only your fingerprint was detected on the knife that killed her."

Zhu Xiaoting was stunned, she opened her mouth wide and looked at the other party.

Xu Yishen felt dizzy when he heard this - the murderer didn't leave fingerprints, but Zhu Xiaoting left fingerprints in a panic, which is really hard to explain.Whether she had a dispute with the deceased after returning to the dormitory was all her own opinion.There is no witness to help her testify, and physical evidence is very unfavorable to her.

Zhu Xiaoting regained consciousness in a trance, her eyes were a little dull: "Only my fingerprints? How could this be?"

Team Chen: "According to your roommate Mao Yue, this knife belongs to you too. It's an orange fruit knife, very sharp. You just bought it from the school supermarket last week."

Zhu Xiaoting looked at the familiar orange fruit knife on the table, her face was ashen.

This is indeed her knife.

She took a deep breath and said in a trembling voice: "I put this knife in the drawer, so the murderer must have stabbed Xie Xiangqin to death with it and planted it on me!"

Team Chen: "Who has such a big grudge against you, who wants to plant you for murder?"

Zhu Xiaoting thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I, I really don't know who has hatred against me..."

Team Chen changed the subject and asked, "Where's Liu Jiajia? Did you kill him?"

Zhu Xiaoting: "What?! Gaga her..."

Team Chen stared sharply at the girl in front of him: "Liu Jiajia drowned, not long after you left. Last night you went to the beach with Liu Jiajia to have a barbecue, and gave her a bottle of water in the middle of the night. , She fell into a coma after drinking the medicine, you carried her into the sea and drowned, then took a taxi and fled. Back at school, she had an argument with Xie Xiangqin, and stabbed her to death with a fruit knife."

Zhu Xiaoting's face was full of collapse: "No, it's not like this!"

"The bottle of water that Liu Jiajia drank, an unknown powder was found at the mouth of the bottle. We will find out the specific drug and the result soon." Team Chen tapped on the table lightly, "Zhu Xiaoting, be frank, please be lenient. No more obsession."

Zhu Xiaoting took a deep breath: "I really didn't kill anyone! Did any of you see me kill someone?"

Team Chen said indifferently: "Calm down here first, and think about whether you want to confess. If you are honest, the court may give you a lighter sentence."

The two police officers went out, probably looking for the forensic doctor to get the results.

Zhu Xiaoting sat there in a daze, the thin girl trembling helplessly.When encountering such a big event, no one can keep calm, let alone a 22-year-old college girl without much social experience.

Xu Yishen sighed deeply, and the split cells followed Team Chen to hear the results of the forensic examination.

The forensic doctor said: "Xie Xiangqin, the time of death was around 5:30 in the morning. The cause of death was a hemorrhage caused by the rupture of the aorta of the heart. He was killed with a knife. There were no other injuries on his body. The skin tissue gene found in the nails was consistent with Zhu Xiaoting's. It should have been scratched by hand." The opponent's body."

Team Chen nodded: "Where's Liu Jiajia?"

The forensic doctor said: "Liu Jiajia's cause of death was poisoning. Highly toxic cyanide was detected in the mineral water bottle. She was dragged into the sea after death and pretended to be drowning. No traces of sand in the seawater were found in the nasal cavity and lungs, which proves that the deceased He was dead when he fell into the sea, without breathing or struggling."

"Zhu Xiaoting's fingerprint was detected on the mineral water bottle." A colleague from the identification department said: "Zhu Xiaoting's mobile phone has been unlocked, and the taxi and call records were found. At 4:5 in the morning, she called a Didi Express to drive from the seaside. Back to school, at 10:5, the car stopped at the school gate. At 20:[-], Xie Xiangqin called Zhu Xiaoting, and the call lasted half a minute."

"It seems that Zhu Xiaoting's action trajectory is basically the same as the time of death of the two deceased." Team Chen paused and said, "Continue to investigate the social relationship of the two deceased. If there are no other suspects, we will sort out the information and prepare for public prosecution."

There is a time limit for Xu Yishen's cell transformation. Seeing that the time was coming, he immediately went back and told Zhu Xiaoting, "We will find a way to help you. The current evidence is very unfavorable to you. You don't understand the law, so you must find a lawyer to defend you. "

Zhu Xiaoting lowered her head, looked desperate, and said in a weak voice, "But, I, I don't have the money to hire a lawyer..."

Xu Yishen said, "You can apply for free legal aid."

Zhu Xiaoting was dubious: "A free lawyer, is it reliable?"

Xu Yishen said softly: "Of course, many lawyers will be willing to help people like you. There are many legal aid centers in China that provide voluntary services, and the lawyers there are also very professional. There will be lawyers coming to see you this afternoon, cheer up, do not give up."

Zhu Xiaoting hummed softly.

Xu Yishen said: "I'll go first, goodbye."

Zhu Xiaoting asked, "Who the hell are you?"

There is no sound in my ears.

After Xu Yishen slipped out of the police force, he returned to his original body at the corner of the street, and quickly typed to post the results of the police inquiry and the final cause of death determined by the forensic doctor in the group.

Yue Xingwen said helplessly: "The evidence is as solid as a mountain!"

Fingerprints, poison, murder weapon, moving route, call records, WeChat records and witnesses...

All the evidence points to Zhu Xiaoting, this girl is really a disaster.

Such an unfavorable situation, on the contrary, aroused Lan Yarong's fighting spirit: "We must clear this girl's grievances. If no one helps her, she is really sentenced to death, and it will be too miserable!"
