"No, no! I...he...impossible..." Liang Zhong made the two of them dumbfounded by asking a series of questions, and he didn't hesitate to come up with a result for a long time, "Gao...Gao Kuiliang, he..."

"Answer one by one," Yan Cun interrupted him, "Do you think Gao Kuiliang will be the murderer of your son?"

"I don't know...I don't know! I don't know anything!" Liang Zhong answered irrelevantly, looking a little nervous and agitated, with cold sweat on his forehead, "He...she has no reason to do this..."

"Yes," Yan Cun said, "he can use Liang Jiawen to restrain you and threaten you, so as to ensure the smooth cooperation between the two of you. It is also possible that Liang Jiawen knows his secret and he kills Liang Jiawen. —Two possibilities, which one do you choose?"

"..." Liang Zhong didn't dare to speak, "I..."

"Or, you choose to ask Gao Kuiliang himself?" Yan Cun sneered, reached out to pat Jiang Huai, and said solemnly, "Jiang Huai, go and call Gao Kuiliang here."

"No, me! I don't know!" Seeing Jiang Huai's answer of "OK", Liang Zhong immediately became anxious, and quickly stood up from the chair, "No... I, I mean! I haven't made up my mind yet. How to face him! I don't know, I don't know how to ask! Police, comrades...give me some time! Give me some time! Let me, let me think!"

To achieve the purpose of scaring people, Yan Cun nodded, and reminded a few words in a persuasive way: "Then you'd better think about it quickly, think about what else you know, and think about whether there is any information that you have not provided to the police."

Jiang Huai added: "If your suspicion can't be cleared in the end, if we find out that you are still hiding something, we have reason to suspect that you and Gao Kuiliang are actually on the same team."

Liang Zhong was a little dazed, his eyes rolled, but his reaction was quick at the moment, and he replied eagerly, "I know".

After interrogating Liang Zhong, the two left the interrogation room. Gao Kuiliang's interrogation hadn't come out yet. On the contrary, Ji Liao returned to the Municipal Bureau from the murder scene and found some unusual clues.

"There were bruises on the neck of the deceased, and there were signs of heavy blows on the head - the people from the Dongcheng Branch just searched in the dilapidated houses and underground warehouses, but they didn't seem to find anything resembling a murder weapon, so we return here. I searched in the nearby grass and the river not far away."

Since the evidence was handed over to the Dongcheng Sub-bureau for safekeeping, Ji Liao uploaded the photos taken at the scene to the computer, and continued: "The soil by the small river has been turned over. I found Liang Jiawen's ID card and driver's license and other documents, but no fingerprints were extracted from them, including Liang Jiawen's, and there is a high probability that someone erased them."

"Hmm..." Yan Cun was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, he turned his head and asked Zhang Jingze, "Did the Dongcheng Branch check the positioning system of Liang Jiawen's cell phone and car before?"

"It's been checked." Zhang Jingze stepped forward to report: "After receiving the report, people from the Dongcheng Branch went to Liang Jiawen's house to search and found Liang Jiawen's mobile phone in the bedside drawer. Since half a year ago, the mobile phone and the car have been stolen. The person used technology to erase the location record, and the last location record was a 24-hour express hotel near his home, and the car is still parked near the express hotel."

"Express hotel?" Yan Cun asked.

"Yes," Zhang Jingze said, "Liang Jiawen was the only person who checked into the room that day. The front desk of the express hotel didn't have much impression of this guest. The people from the Dongcheng branch had asked the technicians to call the hotel's surveillance before, but they didn't Knowing why, Liang Jiawen's surveillance records on the day of his stay were all lost."

"Are you going to meet someone?" Yan Cun asked, "Have you searched the room where he lived at that time?"

"not yet."

"Go and check tomorrow." Yan Cun nodded, thought for a while, and asked Ji Liao first, "Go on."

Ji Liao responded with a "yes", swiped a few photos back, and jumped to the main point: "We found some of Liang Jiawen's personal belongings one after another in the soil by the river, and no fingerprints were extracted on them, so we had to go first. Let it go. Afterwards, we went back to the grass near the scene of the incident to search for a few rounds, and finally found a bullet near the grass at the window where the underground warehouse connects to the ground, and it seems that it should have fallen there recently.”

"..." Jiang Huai was startled, "Bullets??!"

"No way..." Yan Cun suddenly became a little nervous, "Bullets?!"

He had a bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't dare to ask due to the crowd, so he exchanged a look with Ji Liao quietly.

"What what?" Zhang Jingze repeated the machine, "Bullets?!"

"Illegal possession of a gun?" Jiang Huai asked solemnly, "Has it ever been fired? Is there blood on the bullet?"

"There was no blood on it." Ji Liao said, "We visited nearby residents, and no one heard the gunshots. Liang Jiawen had no gunshot wounds on his body. It is impossible to determine whether the gunman is related to the case."

He had a tacit understanding and went to the channel with Yan Cun, and added: "The gun type and other clues are now being tested by the technicians at the Dongcheng Branch, and we will be notified of the results."

At the same time, there was a sound outside the door, and Gao Kuiliang seemed to have finished the interrogation.

Everyone fell into deep thought and waited in the office for a while. Within 2 minutes, Lou Yu and Ye Yuming also opened the door and entered the office together.

Lou Yu pulled up a chair and sat down, and asked them first, "How is Liang Zhong?"

"Hmm..." Yan Cun finally came to his senses, "He is quite cooperative, although he still falters and falters the whole time, and he can't understand for a long time."

He cleared his throat and continued: "We interrogated him once in the previous case, and this time his attitude was different from last time - he was just shirking responsibility the whole time last time, this time it didn't look too suspicious, But the attitude was kind of weird and the behavior wasn't logical."

"?" Lou Yu asked, "How should I say it?"

"It does look sad on the surface, but it's not enough. The eye sockets are not red at all. It doesn't seem to be too sad for the death of a loved one." Yan Cun said.

He thought for a while, then sighed: "I just tricked him, he should know something else, but he probably has some concerns, he looks a little nervous."

"Hmm..." Lou Yu nodded, "I wanted to scam Gao Kuiliang, but I couldn't. Gao Kuiliang didn't admit that he had been to that place at first, and insisted from the beginning to the end that Liang Jiawen's death had nothing to do with him. Said that Liang Jiawen's imprisonment/imprisonment had nothing to do with him, and said that he and Liang Jiawen were not so close, they were just distant relatives."

But it was all expected, Gao Kuiliang was a hard bone, and he probably had to be patient and gnaw a few more times.

"Well," Yan Cun said, "the main reason is that there is no evidence at hand, but he should not be able to escape from illegal casinos and drug trafficking."

Two days ago, he went to He Jiu to ask about the situation. At present, only Yan Peifeng verbally proved that he had a cooperative relationship with Gao Kuiliang, but in fact Gao Kuiliang is very shrewd. The funds from illegal casinos never entered his pocket, so he insisted on checking It might not be possible to find out.

At present, Wang Yuan has never let go of saying that Gao Kuiliang ordered him to kill, and Gao Kuiliang also insisted that Yan Peifeng was framing him.

The two parties are at a stalemate, and the only clues so far should be the bullet that Ji Liao picked up in the grass, and He Jiu's interrogation of their drug trafficking cooperation.

Today's interrogation came to an end, and it was almost six o'clock in the evening, and everyone decided to call it a day and get off work.Now that there are not enough clues, there is no rush. It may be more efficient to continue the rest of the work in a few days.

While the others left the office first, he and Ji Liao were the only ones left in the room. They walked towards the parking lot together, and he finally had time to ask the question he wanted to ask: "Why don't you give me permission first?" If so, wouldn’t it be the bullets fired by our police guns?!”

Damn nervous.

"Probably not." Ji Liao put his arms around the shoulder of the detachment leader, and patted him lightly to let him relax. "Don't be nervous, the small-diameter bullets are different from ours."

"...Don't lie to me," Yan Cun breathed a sigh of relief, "It's fine if it's not, it's fine if it's not, it's because my brain is too big."

"Don't think too much," Ji Liao just sat in the driver's seat and started the car. When the phone received a message, he turned his head and asked, "My brother asked if you want to have dinner with him tonight."

"?"

"He said he was a little sorry last time," Ji Liao said, "It's true that he didn't say anything in advance, it was too sudden, and asked if he wanted to have a serious meal this time."

"??" Being reminded of the embarrassing memory of the last time, Yan Cun let out a slow "uh" and hesitated for almost half a minute.

In fact, it's not just because of social fear, and of course it's not just because of embarrassment. Ever since he heard that Ji Heng and Fang Yushan had collaborated before, he was a bit paranoid on conditional reflex.

In a short time, he didn't want to get in touch with anything related to Fang Yushan.

"It doesn't matter if you don't want to go," Ji Liao added very considerately, "Actually, I don't really want to go. I'm too tired today. Let's go on vacation next time."

"...Really? Don't spoil me all the time," Yan Cun sighed, "Well, I really don't want to go, I haven't recovered from the embarrassment yet... Would it be rude to refuse?"

"No, he's thicker, it's okay," Ji Liao asked, "I still have some beef and vegetables at home. Is there anything else you want to eat? Do you want to buy it?"

"No, no, no," Yan Cun yawned, "Let's not go, I'm a little sleepy, let's go home first."

Ji Liao nodded and said "OK".

Going downstairs to Ji Liao's house, he took out the key to open the door. Since Ji Liao went to dig the soil near the scene of the accident during the day, he decided to go back to the bedroom to change clothes before going downstairs to cook.

The two went upstairs together, Yan Cun took off his tie first, and then remembered something: "Do you want to install a surveillance camera outside the door?"

"Ok?"

"It's about going back to Yan Peifeng's house last time," Yan Cun said, "The security here is really bad. Anyone can go in and walk around twice. It's not safe... Besides, it's a special period now, so it's better to be careful."

"Actually, I've thought about it before," Ji Liao said as he went up. "It's really not safe these days. Remember to check the door lock before you go home these days. I'll let someone install it later... ...?!"

Keenly sensed an unfamiliar atmosphere in the house, he stopped, stopped on the stairs for a few seconds, and looked upstairs with a little vigilance: "Wait a minute."

"?"

"There is a sound, did you hear it?" Ji Liao was afraid that there would be a sneak attack due to insufficient light, so he turned on all the lights near the stairs first.

He listened intently for a while, then said in a breathy voice, "The bedroom."

"?!" Yan Cun came to his senses, quickly turned around and pushed his back against Ji Liao, holding the gun with his backhand on guard, and replied with a breathy voice, "...Isn't it?! I just finished talking!"

The flag was set too early.

Ji Liao exhorted "be careful", and walked upstairs cautiously, keeping his footsteps down.

After passing the stairway in the blind spot, the two speeded up and walked in the direction of the sound source, distractedly paying attention to the movement in other rooms, and stopped in front of the bedroom.

Ji Liao said, "I've opened the door."

Yan Cun nodded and entered a state of alert.

Ji Liao decisively kicked the door open, fearing that someone would be ambushing behind the door, the two of them hid by the wall in a tacit understanding.

There was no movement in the house.

There was no movement in the other houses either.

After confirming that there seemed to be no other person's breath inside, the two carefully looked into the room—a small rabbit doll was placed beside the bed at some point, and there seemed to be a small music box installed behind the doll, which was continuously The music is stopped.

Realizing that this was a decoy, Ji Liao closed the door with a backhand "slap", said "other rooms", and felt something was wrong: "No! It's downstairs!"

"Snapped--"

This sound came from downstairs at this moment, and all the lights that were turned on just now were extinguished, and the room was completely dark.

"Damn... switch!" Yan Cun turned on the flashlight very quickly, and every nerve in his body exploded. He pulled Ji Liao and rushed towards the door downstairs, "Get out first!"

"No...not right!" Arriving at the edge of the stairs, Ji Liao seemed to hear a "click" from downstairs, "Wait!"

Both of them heard the sound, their perception of danger came into play, and they reacted almost at the same time, their intuition took half a step back.

"boom!"

The fish tank on the side of the stairs sounded several "cracks" at the same time, the water in the fish tank spread out overwhelmingly, and the shattered glass shards exploded in their direction, almost scratching the side of their jugular arteries.

A black shadow flashed in the direction of the door, and someone pushed the door open and ran out like crazy.
