Lee Zheng drove to Eastern Jiujiang Police Station with Captain Yan and Chen Ge.
Along the way, Chen Ge did not say a word, and he was rather quiet.
The Eastern Jiujiang Police Station had used Huang Ling's phone to make the call, which meant that they had interrogated Huang Ling, and Huang Ling had probably confessed to him. However, it was unclear whether Huang Ling had told them about the bus incident or not.
The previous night, Huang Ling had driven the taxi back to Eastern Jiujiang, and the driver had been in the car. Chen Ge had no idea what had happened to them after that.
Now that the driver had called the police, Chen Ge had to be prepared. He could not allow things to progress in a direction that was disadvantageous to him.
In less than twenty minutes, the three arrived at Eastern Jiujiang Police Station.
"Ol 'Tian, you've worked so hard. Why aren't you home yet?" Once Captain Yan entered the room, he saw a few officers conversing, and he turned to speak to the officer who looked the most sturdy.
"I'm sorry for troubling you to come here in person." Tian Lei said a few words to the officer next to him and then walked toward the office. "We'll talk in there."
"Okay." Captain Yan and Lee Zheng followed behind him while Chen Ge stood in the hall for a while.
The atmosphere of the Dongcheng Police Station was completely different from the Xicheng Police Station where Li Sanbao worked. The room was neat and tidy, and there were two rows of chairs in the corner. On the left was a drunkard, and on the right was an old man with a dull expression.
One of the two officers who had spoken to Tian Lei was patiently talking to the old man, asking for his address, but the old man stammered.
The other officer rolled up his sleeves and used a mop to clean up the drunkard's vomit. He frowned with dissatisfaction. "Western Jiujiang Police Station is responsible for major cases every day, but we're just sending lost old people home or these drunkards home. We're police officers, not nannies."
"Stop it. If the director hears you, he'll beat you up. You're still not satisfied? You have no idea how envious they are of us. " The police officer next to him gently rubbed the old man's stiff hands to help ease his nervousness and promote blood circulation. It was obvious that this was not the first time he had done something like this. "Xiao Qing, after you're done, go and pour the old man a glass of hot water and bring me the blanket that I use on duty."
"Don't call me Little Qing!" The young policeman propped the mop against the wall and said unhappily, "This is completely different from the police life I imagined."
He walked toward the water dispenser and saw Chen Ge still standing at the entrance. "They've all gone in. Why are you still standing here?"
"I'm just looking around." Chen Ge walked past the young officer and said, "Actually, you don't have to be envious of the Western Jiujiang Police Station. I have a feeling that the Eastern Jiujiang Police Station is going to be busy soon."
"It's good to be busy. Otherwise, my body will rust." The young policeman looked at Chen Ge's back and felt that he looked familiar, but he couldn't remember.
Pushing open the office door, several pairs of eyes instantly focused on Chen Ge. At the same time, a familiar voice sounded, "It's him! He was the one who took my car last night! Going to Eastern Jiujiang's fresh water plant at night, I knew there was something wrong with him! "
"If you knew, why didn't you say so earlier?" Chen Ge was quite speechless. He was the innocent one here.
"Officer, did you see that? This man is so arrogant! "The driver was not that old, and he had been scared to death at the time. Only now did he recover.
"All of you, stop talking." Tian Lei's head hurt. He did not expect Captain Yan to come; this had messed up his plan. "Captain Yan, you've seen the statement, and we've looked at the surveillance at New Century Park. Last night, it was indeed Chen Ge who took a taxi to Eastern Jiujiang."
"Have you found the surveillance that followed? The biggest point of contention is at Eastern Jiujiang's fresh water plant. The driver said that Chen Ge used some kind of special method to knock him out, but he could not remember what kind of method it was. If we can't confirm the crime method, all the charges will be very difficult to prove. "Captain Yan looked at the records and picked out some problems casually.
"The surveillance at Eastern Jiujiang's fresh water plant was also destroyed. I feel like this is a premeditated crime." Tian Lei took out another document. "In the morning, we went to the technical department to check it. The driving recorder and camera on the taxi were malfunctioning. The method of destruction was very clever, and there was no damage to the casing. This might be a high-tech crime."
Captain Yan turned to look at Chen Ge and put down the document. "Do you think he's a high-tech criminal?"
"That's hard to say. You can't judge a book by its cover." Tian Lei insisted on his opinion.
Captain Yan felt like he could not convince Tian Lei, so he turned to the driver. "In the statement, you said that you fainted at Eastern Jiujiang's fresh water plant, but when you woke up, you found yourself in an old residential area in Eastern Jiujiang?"
"Yes." The driver was good at reading people's expressions. He could tell that Captain Yan was a leader, so he lowered his voice. "When I woke up, there was a note next to me. It had a phone number and a few words written on it — 'My name is Huang Ling, and I live on the fourth floor.'"
"So, you didn't lose your money or phone? The person was kind enough to leave a note and didn't run away from the responsibility? "
"You can't say that!" The driver was sweating. "I'm just a normal driver. I was waiting for someone, and then I fainted. When I woke up, I found myself in a strange place. Who would be able to accept something like that? And that phone call, just thinking about it makes me angry. Initially, I didn't think about calling the police. At the time, I was so afraid that I wanted to call the police, but guess what happened? "
The people in the room all turned to look at the driver. "What did the person on the phone say? Threatened you? Refused to compensate you? "
"This is no longer a matter of compensation. My God, I just got through the phone, and before I could say anything, it sounded like someone was going to kill me. A woman screamed at the top of her lungs — 'Help me, help me!' Then, before I could say another word, the phone was hung up. Look at your conscience and tell me, are you afraid of something like this? "The driver was agitated, and he stood up from his seat.
"You said you called the woman? She was asking for help? " Chen Ge's eyes turned serious, and he stood up as well. "Did you go upstairs to see if something happened to the woman?"
"How could I dare go upstairs? That's what angered me the most. I thought that there was a murder case, but when the police arrived in the morning, they went to the house to investigate and found that the wife suffered from intermittent mental illness. Last night, she was acting up. "
"I can prove that. We have communicated with the woman's husband." Tian Lei signaled for the driver to sit down and took out an evidence bag from the drawer. There was a phone inside. "This is the woman's phone. All the call records have been deleted, but we found something very strange."
He turned to look at Chen Ge. "Why would the patient set your number as a one-button dial? What is your relationship with her? "
