Chapter 65 Investigation in Progress
After saying that, Wen and his two companions gave the crowd a meaningful look and left the room.
They went out.
"boom!"
The Third Squadron's office was in complete chaos.
"Damn it, what's Qian Hao's intention? When did we lay a hand on him? He didn't say a word all night, just stared like a dead man, but did anyone touch him?" Cao Dahua was the first to stand up and burst out, "He confessed to killing his wife so quickly, and he's already changed his story. That's interesting!"
"I thought it was strange at the time. After we questioned him about what happened on the train, he didn't say a word all night. But then in the morning, he suddenly confessed everything. I thought this kid was weird. So that's what he was waiting for us to do!" Ma Dazhi laughed in exasperation. "At first, I didn't think he was that suspicious, but now it seems he can't clear his name. He's trying to play mind games with us!"
"But what about his alibi?"
"Even with an alibi, he's still involved!" Wu Song narrowed his eyes.
That depends on whether his alibi is true or false.
First, determine if the alibi is truly flawless and proves that he genuinely did not have time to commit the crime.
If this alibi is truly so flawless.
That most likely means another possibility—a murder exchange!
Four big characters popped into Wu Song's head!
Although hiring a killer is possible, in Wu Song's mind, if Qian Hao really has an alibi, then exchanging murders is the most probable scenario!
Who made Qian Hao have the black mist on him that signifies he's killed someone?
Since he didn't kill his wife, he must have killed other people.
"Why don't we all focus on the present and think about what to say when the inspector comes?" Lin Wenshu asked timidly.
"Tell me the truth, we haven't slept all night. Don't you know whether we made a move or not?"
"I'm afraid the inspector won't believe me!" Lin Wenshu said with a wry smile. "If only we could install a surveillance camera like the ones in banks in the interrogation room, we wouldn't have to say anything, we could just check the footage."
"Stop talking nonsense," Ma Dazhi said. "That thing is too expensive, so don't even dream about it."
As they talked...
There was a knocking sound at the door.
Turning my head, I saw a group of people already walking in.
Seven people came in.
The team consisted of three people: Wen and his two colleagues, two inspectors in white hats, and two men in suits.
There seemed to be other people standing outside.
"We're from the procuratorate!" two men in suits said. "We're here to investigate Qian Hao's claim that he was subjected to torture during interrogation. Who's the squad leader?"
"I am Xu Bin." Xu Bin stood up.
"Come with us first."
After saying that, these people left with Xu Bin.
Two men in suits stood outside, smiling and nodding at everyone. "We hope you'll cooperate and stay in the office for now. We'll be asking you questions one by one shortly."
"Understood!" Cao Dahua said with a smile. "We will absolutely cooperate with our brothers in the political and legal system! Besides, we have nothing to hide! If we didn't do anything, we didn't do anything, and we're not afraid of being investigated!"
"Would you two like some water?" Ma Dazhi poured two glasses of water and handed them over.
"Thank you!" The two took the water, but kept it in their hands without drinking a drop.
……
Next, one by one, the members of the Third Squadron were called out.
Each interview lasted an hour on average.
Wu Song was the seventh person to be called in.
The prosecutors, the inspectors, and Captain Wen sat in a row, with an ordinary chair opposite them.
"Have a seat!" Captain Wen said, stroking his chair.
"Thank you." Wu Song sat upright in his chair.
"According to our investigation, you brought Qian Hao in for questioning at midnight. Why did you choose this time?"
"At that time, our team's investigation yielded a very important clue: a theft that turned into assault had just occurred in the carriage where Qian Hao was sitting. We already suspected that he might have returned to Gaotan ahead of time, so we called him over to ask him about it."
"What were the results of the inquiry?"
"He said he was conscious during that time and was in his seat, but when we asked him what happened in the carriage at that time, he didn't know," Wu Song said.
"and then?"
"Then he stopped talking when we asked him questions, and didn't say a word all night."
"You watched the entire interrogation?" the inspector asked.
"Yes." Wu Song nodded. "From five to seven in the morning, I was with Deputy Squadron Leader Cao Dahua and Officer Zhang from the pre-trial team to conduct the interrogation. The rest of the time, we just stood by because I've only been on the job for six months and I wanted to learn more."
"Are you sure you didn't lay a hand on him the whole time? Comrade Wu Song, you should know that giving false testimony carries serious consequences."
"We didn't touch him at all. As for his claim about waterboarding, that's completely unfounded. We were simply questioning him and there was absolutely no behavior that exceeded the relevant regulations."
"And then he didn't confess all night, but around seven o'clock he confessed to the crime?" the prosecutor asked.
"Yes, that's the truth. We were curious too, how he admitted it so readily. Looking back now, he probably wanted to frame us for torture."
"Did he provide an alibi, and did he mention that during the interrogation?"
"At first, he said he was wandering around the capital and seeing the sights. When we asked who could vouch for that, he replied that no one could vouch for him. I don't know why he didn't mention his alibi during the interrogation."
……
After about forty minutes of questioning, Wu Song was told he could leave.
Liu Shutong, who was the last one to be questioned, had an even shorter time, about half an hour, while everyone else was questioned.
The two staff members from the procuratorate who were in the office also left the Third Squadron's office.
Immediately afterwards, Captain Wen came in and called Xu Bin away.
Less than ten minutes later.
Xu Bin got up.
"Don't worry, everyone!"
Xu Bin made a downward palm gesture, "We know this in our hearts. We absolutely did not lay a finger on that kid. The higher-ups and our political and legal brothers will definitely give us a fair investigation result."
"This is the first time I've encountered a suspect like this!" Jiang Yang chuckled wryly. "Qian Hao is really troublesome!"
"Since this kid has an alibi, why doesn't he tell us?"
Xu Bin sat down, took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, and quickly took two puffs before saying, "I have a feeling that this guy deliberately set a trap for us, ensnaring us all at once, and incidentally making a name for himself."
I heard that because of his connections in the law school, many lawyers rallied around the issue, and our story even made it into a national newspaper in eastern Guangdong. This has generated considerable public discussion nationwide, and Qian Hao is almost being portrayed as a pitiful figure.
