Chapter 52

Ren Yu originally thought that the work of firefighters was hard enough. He didn't have much leave a year and had to be on duty 24 hours a year. However, after getting along with Gong Yingxian for some time, he found that the police were also miserable. They spent most of their time in the squadron. After all, it was a few cases to go out to the police, but the police, especially the criminal police, hardly didn't work overtime.

It was almost nine o'clock at this time, and Gong Yingxian still had to rush back to the branch office to work.

Ren Yu joked: "you say you are a good rich second generation, with a lower salary than me and doing no less work than me. I often think of you and feel unique."

"Do you often think of me?" Gong Yingxian looked at Ren Yu.

Ren Yu didn't expect Gong Yingxian to grasp the key point of this sentence so novel and unique. He remembered his embarrassment in the bathroom and felt that he couldn't be counselled now. He winked at him and said jokingly, "yes, I often miss you."

"What do you want me to do?" Gong Yingxian asked very seriously.

"... thinking." Ren Yi walked to the door of the car and looked at Gong Yingxian. "Do you often miss me?"

Gong Yingxian nodded: "yes."

Ren Yu's breath was a little hurried: "what do you think of me?"

"Miss you... Is a strange person."

"I'm surprised."

Gong Yingxian hesitated: "it's strange to be different from others."

"It means I'm special, right?" Ren Yi smiled and looked at Gong Yingxian.

Somehow, in Gong Yingxian's mind, Ren Qiguo's back appeared, which was "good-looking" in his cognition. Yes, Ren is really special. He gave a soft "um".

Ren Yu's heart was full of joy. Even this kind of riddle like dialogue was sweet in his taste. He knew that his heart in Gong Yingxian was different from time to time and became special bit by bit, which was unspeakable satisfaction for him.

When he got to the car, Ren Yu said, "today you drive." In fact, he was very tired. After all, he was under high-intensity physical exertion all afternoon and only ate a box lunch, but he didn't want Gong Yingxian to see it. He just wanted to know the truth of the arson case in Wanyuan community as soon as possible.

Gong Yingxian noticed: "what's the matter? Are you tired?"

"No, it's a neck injury. It hurts to lift your arm."

Gong Yingxian frowned and said, "I don't know what's going on in the afternoon. Don't go if you're very tired."

Ren Ying smiled: "it's really all right. Let's go."

On the way, Gong Yingxian talked about the case with Ren Yu: "you can't imagine how unexpected the development of this case is now."

"What?" Ren Yu's curiosity was suddenly hung high.

"We suspected Peng Fei, but there was no evidence, so I asked my colleagues in the identification department to identify all the garbage I picked up at the scene."

"That's not a small project."

"In fact, it's not as much as expected. Most of them were damaged by fire and have no identification value. Do you remember the brush head of electric toothbrush and coffee grounds I told you at that time?"

"Remember."

"First of all, you used the method of fire identification to help us narrow the scope of suspects to five households in the West. Secondly, these two things played a great role." Gong Yingxian's face brightened. "We extracted DNA from toothbrushes, and found categories and brands of coffee grounds. Among the five households, two have coffee machines."

"Who does toothbrush and coffee belong to?"

"Without consent, we couldn't compare DNA, so one of my colleagues squatted in that community for two days, collected the garbage of all families in the west of that floor, and found the owner of the toothbrush, 2209, 2208."

Ren Yu suddenly reacted: "do you mean that the garbage in front of 2209 that does not belong to his house may come from the other five households?"

"At present, there are only two households that can prove it, because we also found that Peng Fei's family has a coffee machine. We retrieved his online shopping records and found that he did buy the same coffee."

Ren Ying said excitedly, "he can't refute it this time."

Gong Yingxian sneered: "we took out this evidence, and both of them admitted it, but they both claimed that they just wanted a tooth for a tooth and threw the garbage at the door of 2209. Arson has nothing to do with them. We haven't asked about the other households."

Ren Yi took a breath. The deeper he thought about the truth of the case, the more frightened he was: "what are your plans?"

Gong Yingxian said, "do you remember which of the six households in the West except 2209 died?"

"The penultimate one." Ren Yu thought, "the last one is Peng Fei's 2212211. It seems that an old man has died."

"Yes, we're going to start with his house. You'll see the head of 2211 in a moment." Gong Yingxian said, "also, through this period of investigation, I have more and more doubts about Peng Fei. I decided to do a lie detector for him."

"Is polygraph really effective?" Ren Yi frowned and said, "this thing can only be used as an aid, and it can't be used as evidence in court."

"I know that lie detection is just a means. I asked an expert in criminal psychology to help us reassess Peng Fei."

"Didn't you say the evidence was insufficient and he didn't respond to Zhou Chuan."

"It's not just Zhou Chuan. He didn't respond to Chen Pei, which makes me more suspicious. More importantly, we can't find a more suitable candidate for the car burning suspect except him. Have you heard Holmes's words?"

"When all impossibilities are eliminated, the rest, no matter how absurd, is the truth."

"Because I can't find a new suspect now, I want to take him as a suspect and re-examine all the evidence in my hand and examine him." Gong Yingxian narrowed his eyes. "If he commits a crime, no matter how well he hides, he will be exposed."

"What about... Chen Pei?" Referring to this man, Ren Yi secretly looked at Gong Yingxian's expression.

"I want to find out the case of Wanyuan community first. He can't run anyway."

During the conversation, they have arrived at the branch.

Cai Qiang is examining Zhou Chuan. Ren Ying stands outside the monitoring room and looks at Zhou Chuan's hospital life in just one month. He has gained weight. He feels unspeakable anger at the thought that this bastard can eat and drink enough, but the victim's family may not be able to eat.

"He still won't say anything?" Ren asked.

"He knew that after we caught Chen Pei, his attitude was a little loose in the hospital. I don't know if Cai Qiang will gain anything today."

"Did he recognize Chen Pei?"

Gong Yingxian shook his head: "it is possible to know each other on the Internet, but they are strange reactions to each other's faces."

Ren Ying listens to Cai Qiang patting the table and intimidates Zhou Chuan.

"Come on, I'll take you to the head of 2211."

They came to the door of another interrogation room. Gong Yingxian motioned Ren Yu to look in through the glass window on the door.

Ren Yu came closer and looked inside. The head of 2211 was a woman in her fifties. She was lowering her head. Only from her slightly shrugged shoulders, she could see her uneasiness.

Gong Yingxian whispered, "she was not detained, but we asked her to cooperate with the investigation. She should have been waiting for at least three or four hours. If she was just an ordinary victim's family member or irrelevant personnel, she would have been angry for such a long time, but look at her, only anxiety."

"Guilty?"

"It should be." Gong Yingxian pushed the door in.

The people inside suddenly raised their heads and looked at them without blinking.

"Ms. Bai." Gong Yingxian turned over the information, "Hello, I've kept you waiting."

Ms. Bai prevaricated her fat body back, put her back close to the back of the chair, and tried to stay away from Gong Yingxian who was already sitting opposite the table.

Ren Yu also sat aside.

Gong Yingxian said mechanically, "Ms. Bai, my surname is gong. Thank you for cooperating with our investigation. I hope you can answer a few questions truthfully."

Ms. Bai took a deep breath: "what do you want to ask? I've told the police many times."

Gong Yingxian nodded: "but you said it from the standpoint of the victim's family before. It's different now."

Ms. Bai stared at Gong Yingxian: "what do you mean?"

"We have reason and evidence to suspect that you and the other four neighbors in the west of the 22nd floor once threw garbage at the door of 2209 before the fire."

Ms. Bai pretended to be calm and said, "anyway, he likes to pile garbage at the door. I was angry and threw it away. What's the matter?"

"Have you thrown it before?"

Ms. Bai hesitated and didn't know how to answer.

"The hostess of 2209 said that you had no similar behavior before. You just had a quarrel and posted big character posters. How could it be so coincidental that on the day of the fire, your five families threw garbage at the door of 2209 at the same time?"

"... I saw others throw it, so did I."

"Who did you see throw it away?"

"I forgot." Ms. Bai, don't overdo it. "Just because we threw the garbage doesn't mean we set fire."

"Well, but the garbage you throw contributes to the burning of the fire. You should bear certain responsibility. As for what responsibility it is, it depends on whether you know about arson."

"I don't know!" Ms. Bai said excitedly, "I didn't know it would catch fire. If I knew, how could I let my mother be smoked to death!"

Gong Yingxian said in a cold voice, "it is precisely because your mother also inhaled thick smoke in the fire and was sent to hospital. I can't understand why you should cover up the murderer who killed your mother?"

Ms. Bai's body shook and her eyes began to dodge.

"Do you know who did it? In fact, you may all know that this is a premeditated revenge. Perhaps the consequences of this revenge exceed your estimates. You are afraid and afraid of being involved, so you dare not tell the truth, right?"

Ren Yu was surprised. In fact, he had guessed the meaning of Gong Yingxian just now in the car, but he was still shocked when he really said it from Gong Yingxian's mouth. Is this a collective arson crime? This has never happened in his career. No wonder Gong Yingxian said that the trend of the case would be beyond his expectation.

Ms. Bai shook her head. "I don't know what you're talking about. I threw the garbage. Our neighbors had discussed it angrily for a long time. When he threw the garbage, we threw the garbage at his door. We were also angry. His family was shameless. We threw a few bags of garbage. What's the matter? We didn't set the fire."

"You know who killed your mother, but you dare not say it because you are afraid of taking responsibility. Your mother has a spirit in heaven, but she has been watching."

A fine sweat came out of Ms. Bai's forehead.

"Ms. Bai, I know your concerns. You are afraid that if you say it, you will be regarded as an accomplice. You can't explain to the law and your family. You may also be threatened by others, right?"

Ms. Bai doesn't speak.

"I sympathize with you." Gong Yingxian leaned forward, "In the six households in the west, except for the 2209 male owner, you are the only one who lost relatives. It's unfair, isn't it? The man has been disgusted for several years. Why did he have to catch up with his mother when he died, and why did other people have nothing? Did you sleep well for more than a month? Were you afraid every day that we might find clues? As a result, you found your head Yes. "

Ms. Bai's voice became sharp: "stop it, I don't know!"

"You don't know, because I can ask other people, so many families, as long as one person gives you up..."

Ms. Bai looked down at the table and her limbs were very stiff.

"I said I sympathize with you, and I sympathize with your mother, so I came to you first to give you a chance to commit crimes and meritorious deeds. You don't want this opportunity. Can you promise others not to? You're old and have no criminal record. If you take the initiative to do meritorious deeds, you can certainly deal with it lightly, but if you continue to help others carry thunder and cover up the person who killed your mother, you'll be punished It's unfilial and stupid. You've made a big mistake. Do you still want to make the second big mistake? "

Ms. Bai trembled and tears fell from her red eyes.
