At noon, in the interrogation room of the Yunzhou Police Station.
"My aunt's things?" When the interrogator asked this question, Zhang Shixiong was stunned at first, then lowered his head and pondered. Finally, he said, "My aunt's things should be with my parents, right?
When they moved … Maybe they got rid of some … "
"Then … What did your aunt leave behind?" the interrogator asked again.
"Oh, they were all old things, like combs, cheongsam, and some photos!" Zhang Shixiong replied. "My aunt worked for a foreign company, and her salary was very high. She even knew some celebrities in Yunzhou and took photos with many big shots!
"Officer, I don't understand. What do you want to know?" Zhang Shixiong asked timidly. "Why are you so interested in my aunt?
Also, how long are you going to detain me? When can I leave? I still have to work! "
"Zhang Shixiong, don't you know your situation?" The interrogator placed Zhang Qile's photo in front of Zhang Shixiong and said seriously, "I'll ask you again. Do you know this woman?"
"This …" Zhang Shixiong was stunned. After taking a serious look at the photo, he replied timidly, "I just think this woman looks familiar, but I really don't know her."
"You still say you don't know her?" The interrogator shouted. "We have found evidence that proves that you and this woman not only know each other, but also have an unusual relationship!
"One day seven years ago, someone saw you quarreling with Zhang Qile outside the Cultural Palace. You even said something like 'Who am I?' Don't you remember?"
"What? Cultural Palace … Woman? "Zhang Shixiong took another look at the photo and said," Is this the woman in the photo? Are you sure … It's me?
"Why don't you remember?"
In the monitoring room, Cui Lizhu couldn't stand it anymore. She pointed at Zhang Shixiong behind the single-sided glass and said, "Dodging eyes, twitching eyelids, trembling hands, and stammering … These are all typical signs of lying!
"Zhang Shixiong must know Zhang Qile. He … He didn't dare to admit it because he was afraid that we would find out about their relationship and identify him as the Red Bathtub Killer!"
"You're right, but …" Wu Xiumin shook her head and sighed. "It doesn't help the case! If Zhang Shixiong insists that he doesn't know Zhang Qile, then we won't be able to prove anything based on Ma Qiu's memory from seven years ago! "
"What about the two girls that Zhang Qile lived with?" Cui Lizhu asked anxiously. "Have you found them? Those two must know something, right? "
"Found it, found it!" Captain Shao said regretfully, "The two girls are now abroad. We just conducted a video interview with them, but the two girls claimed that they don't know Zhang Shixiong!
"Moreover, they don't have any impression of the neighbor who lived opposite them …"
"No way! Cui Lizhu was depressed. "Zhang Shixiong is considered a handsome boy. Don't you remember him? Or could it be that these women are nocturnal and don't pay their respects to the neighbors? "
"…" Wu Xiumin wiped her sweat and scolded, "Cui, can't you stop talking?"
"Captain Shao," Miao Ying ordered. "Immediately send Zhang Shixiong's photo to everyone who knows Zhang Qile. See if anyone can recognize him."
"Yes!" Captain Shao said.
"Wu," Miao Ying said to Wu Xiumin, "Go and do the paperwork and release him! Cui, "she pointed at Cui Lizhu," you go and keep an eye on him! "
"Yes!" The two of them answered together.
"Team Leader Miao, Team Leader Miao." At that moment, the door of the monitoring room was pushed open, and Ran Tao's voice came from outside. "The search of Zhang Shixiong's parents' house has been completed. We didn't find anything directly related to the case.
He pointed in another direction and said, "Also, Zhang Shixiong's parents are here. They are in the interrogation room. Um …"
Miao Ying glanced around and realized that everyone was busy, so she nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask them myself!"
A few minutes later, Miao Ying came to the interrogation room and met Zhang Shixiong's parents.
The two elders were obviously very worried. As soon as they met, they asked anxiously, "What happened to Zhang Shixiong? Is he alright? "
Seeing how anxious the two elders were, Miao Ying had to give them a formal explanation, saying that the police were just looking for him to investigate the case.
Zhang Shixiong's parents looked more honest. They kept their heads down, and their faces were full of worry. However, they didn't dare to speak.
"Don't worry!" Miao Ying comforted them. "We just want to understand the situation. May I ask …" The first thing was naturally the victim. So, Miao Ying took out Zhang Qile's photo and asked, "Have you seen this woman before?"
The two elders quickly took the photo and looked at it carefully. Zhang Shixiong's father even put on his reading glasses.
"No … I don't know her …" After looking at it, the two shook their heads, indicating that they had never seen her before.
"Then …" Miao Ying asked again, "Your son, has there been anything unusual these past few days?"
"Unusual?" Zhang Shixiong's mother quickly said, "Yes, yes. He broke up with his girlfriend, and he hasn't been in a good mood these days! Last month, he drank too much at a restaurant, and we had to carry him home! "
"Shixiong is too introverted, and he's not good at expressing himself. He really put in a lot of effort for his girlfriend, but unfortunately, she still didn't like him …"
"Drank too much?" Miao Ying asked quickly. "Who did he drink with?"
"Just himself," Zhang Shixiong's father said. "Shixiong doesn't have many friends, and he doesn't usually drink much. He was really sad that day! Sigh … "
"But, these days, he's much better!" Zhang Shixiong's mother added. "I feel that he has recovered from the breakup. He should …"
"Well … Okay …" Miao Ying made a note in the notebook, then moved on to the next topic. She asked, "Gentlemen, I would like to ask, do you know the Red Bathtub Murder Case in Yunzhou 40 years ago?"
"Ah? The Red Bathtub. "The two elders looked at each other. Zhang Shixiong's father nodded and said," It's a household name. For our generation, it's a household name. How could we not know about it? "
"Yes, yes," Zhang Shixiong's mother said. "We also know that the murderer is a foreigner, a famous architect! Many of the buildings were designed by him … "
"Yes, yes," Zhang Shixiong's father said again. "For our family, we know even more, because my sister and the foreigner are in the same company!"
Swoosh …
There was dead silence inside and outside the interrogation room.
Zhang Shixiong's father's words didn't seem to be anything special, but in the ears of Miao Ying and the others, it was simply creepy!
"You mean …" Miao Ying suppressed the impulse in her heart and repeated, "Your sister, Zhang Shixiong's aunt, and the murderer, Peter, are in the same company? Do they know each other? "
